The most shocking thing for the rebels in Tibetan Province finally happened:

Wang Hengyue is still here after all!

As soon as Wang Hengyue sent troops, he had already connected and taken the five places of Yanjing and Batang, and the momentum was unstoppable! Now, after capturing Batang, he marched to Jiangda with great speed.

Jiang Da will fall into his hands sooner or later. And as soon as Jiang Da was lost, Wang Hengyue's troops were only four hundred miles away from Lhasa!

Four hundred miles, when will the battle flag of the Han army appear under the city of Lhasa?

What's even more troublesome is that wherever Wang Hengyue goes, the Tibetans are in awe of him, and Wang Hengyue has never been soft when he kills the rebels, but his attitude towards the Tibetans is still quite good.

Wang Hengyue is different from Zhao Erfeng back then, where he went, he did not destroy local temples.

Wang Hengyue didn't dare, but under the current situation, he couldn't do this.

If you don't get the support or even opposition of the local Tibetans, you will be in a very dangerous situation.

Facts have proved that Wang Hengyue's decision is correct.

Just when the Reading Force Mixed Division was less than half a mile away from Jiang, the leader of the Jiangda rebels, Renci Wangjie, sent people to discuss the possibility of surrender.

"Surrender?" This time, Wang Hengyue didn't expect it.

"Yes, that, that messenger of Renci or something, everywhere the army goes, Tibet is shaken, he didn't want to rebel, but he has to rebel, everywhere our army goes, the Tibetan army is all alarmed, and Heng Shuai treats the Tibetans well, not like the Zhao butcher in the past. Therefore, he was unwilling to fight again, and asked Heng Shuai to accept the surrender. ”

"Don't want to be reversed? Have to be reversed? Wang Hengyue sneered, where can these people's words be credible? After thinking about it for a while, he looked back at his brother, who had fought all the way from Sichuan to here, and despite his high morale, his tired demeanor was revealed:

"Exactly! Let Renci Wangjie take the rebels to a place twenty miles outside Jiangda and lay down his arms! Those who surrender do not kill; Those who have ill intentions will be killed! Yang Sen's Fifth Regiment was surrendered first! ”

"Yes!"

When we arrived in Jiangda, it was already afternoon. Intji Wangjie, who was bent on saving his surname, did not break his promise, took all the rebels to the designated place, and handed over his weapons.

Without firing a shot, he captured Jiangda, which Wang Hengyue didn't expect before, it seems that the rebels are not monolithic, as long as you stay strong enough, they will also be afraid to surrender!

"Renci Wangjie participates in Hengshuai!" I don't know where I heard the word "Hengshuai", Renci Wangjie actually shouted decently.

"Now that you have surrendered, you will be treated separately from the other rebels, so you don't have to worry about your surname." Wang Hengyue, who was riding on the horse, nodded.

Renci Wangjie breathed a sigh of relief: "Please Hengshuai go into the city to rest, Renci Wangjie will lead the way for Hengshuai in front." ”

Renci Wangjie will be respectful, walk in front and lead the way.

This is the second time Wang Hengyue has entered Jiangda. Things are people, and this time it didn't take a single shot to capture Jiangda, and the mood was very different.

"The name of Heng Shuai, the power of Tibet, the capture of Jiangda twice, the Tibetans admire!" Renci Wangjie must be respectful and authentic.

"Capturing Jiangda is nothing, but it's just a prison of overturning." Wang Hengyue didn't care.

Walking forward for a while, Wang Hengyue suddenly asked, "Renci Wangjie, how many troops do you have?" ”

Renci Wangjie was taken aback: "I have 1,200 men under my command. ”

"Oh, how many cavalry, how many infantry?"

"Mostly cavalry." Renci Wangjie became more and more puzzled.

"What about the breed of horses?"

"Back to Hengshuai, there are Tibetan horses, Soke Tibetan horses, green horses, etc., mainly Tibetan horses, I don't know what advice Heng Shuai has?"

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "Renci Wangjie, you chose to surrender and not fight with our army, very good, I will definitely report back to the political axe to commend you." There's one thing I'd like to discuss with you! ”

"Heng Shuai, please speak."

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "I want to invite you and your people to me, how about training cavalry for me?" ”

"Go to Hengshuai," Renci Wangjie was dumbfounded.

It's one thing to surrender, but it's another thing to get yourself out of Tibet.

Renci Wangjie stubbornly said: "Hengshuai, Renci Wangjie has been here since he was a child, and this family still has"

"Don't worry, I'll take it all for you."

Wang Hengyue interrupted him: "The bitter cold land of Tibet Province, Sichuan is full of flowers, I think it's better than where you stay, right?" When you get there, you enjoy the same treatment as an officer, and I will take care of the accommodation and salaries of your men. ”

Seeing Renci Wangjie's hesitant look, Wang Hengyue stopped: "What is the future of being a rebel?" How can you be a regular army with a bright future? Besides, since you have surrendered now, those lamas know about it, where will they let you go? ”

This was said to Renci Wangjie's heart, which was what he was most worried about.

Wang Hengyue smiled again: "Don't worry, you can help me do things, I will never treat you badly!" ”

"Yes, Heng Shuai!" Renci Wangjie's heart was horizontal: "Since Renci Wangjie has lowered Hengshuai, he has followed Hengshuai wholeheartedly since then, and he will never repeat it!" ”

"Okay, that's what you want!" Wang Hengyue said approvingly.

became Wang Hengyue's subordinate, and as soon as he turned into a regular army, Renci Wangjie was very grateful, and walked a few steps forward and introduced:

"Heng Shuai, this Jiangda has always been an important military transportation point in Tibetan Province. Since ancient times, there are four roads leading to Tibet Province from the mainland, the Qinghai-Tibet West Road, the Qinghai-Tibet Middle Road, the Qinghai-Tibet East Road, and the Sichuan-Tibet Post Road. Among them, except for the Qinghai-Tibet West Road, three have to pass through Jiangda, so this place is extremely important. The 'Weizang Tongzhi' records that Jiangda is an important place in the throat of Tibetan Province, and officers and soldiers are stationed to defend it. The economy here is very prosperous as far as the Tibetan province is concerned. Because of the economic prosperity and the importance of military and transportation geographical locations, it is logical that it has become a battleground for soldiers. ”

Wang Hengyue let out a "grace" sound, and saw that there was a strange stone in front of him, the shape was very similar to the side of a person, and he was wearing a conical hat worn by the princes and nobles in the Tubo era, and asked curiously: "What kind of stone is that?" ”

"The locals call this stone the Songtsen Gampo Sacred Stone." Renci Wangjie hurriedly replied: "According to legend, when Songtsen Gampo came back from marrying Princess Wencheng, he passed through this place and it rained heavily and the road was impassable. So Songtsen Gampo sent his cherished one of the sacred beast parrots, flew out to inspect the road conditions ahead, who knew that the parrot flew away after a few days did not return, Songtsen Gampo was very anxious, every time he came to this place to wait for the parrot to come back, the parrot sensed the owner's anxious mood, did not care about resting, did not wait for the night to rush back, and finally brought the good news to Songtsan Gampo, but the parrot himself because of overwork, fell in front of Songtsan Gampo. Songtsen Gampo was very sad, he stood there for a long time and looked at his cherished divine beast, and even the stone on the side of the road sensed Zampu's sadness, and slowly turned into the appearance of Zampu, and he looked at it all the time."

"Songtsen Gampo?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Back then, I invaded my border and killed my people, if it weren't for my Tang Dynasty sending troops in anger and fighting in Songzhou, I would have beaten him and subdued him, hehe"

Renci Wangjie was embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the ancients." Wang Hengyue waved his hand.

Seeing that Wang Hengyue seemed to be very dissatisfied, Renci Wangjie's eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly said: "Hengshuai pacified Jiangda twice, and the merit is better than the moon, and the Tibetans of Jiangda must not forget it." In this case, Renci Wangjie has an idea, why not change the name of Jiangda, take the word 'Heng' of Hengshuai, and change Jiangda to 'Hengcheng'. ”

"What?" Wang Hengyue was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Renci Wangjie to make such a show for himself: "Hengcheng? ”

"Heng Shuai, this is the best!" Yang Sen on the side said loudly: "Hengcheng, it's good, it's wonderful." Let the people here remember from generation to generation who is the master of this place and who is calm here! ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Hengyue smiled and shook his head.

But he felt that he was messing around, and his subordinates thought that Renci Wangjie's idea was a good idea.

"Hengcheng" not only records the exploits of Heng Shuai, but also records the exploits of the soldiers who went out on the expedition!

It is also from this day that Jiangda has gradually been called "Hengcheng"!

Although Hengcheng was recovered, the matter of counterinsurgency changed again.

The State Council, under the vigorous instigation of Yin Changheng, ordered Cai Ye to consolidate the gateway to northern Yunnan and not to advance.

From time to time, the Dian army was constrained by the Yanjing side and the Sichuan army, which greatly affected the speed of its attack.

President Yuan Shikai then ordered the governor of Yunnan, Cai Yi: "The British interfered, the Republic of China was first established, how can it be allowed to provoke foreign provocations to the Sichuan side to suppress, Yin Governor has appointed himself as a special officer, raising troops and salaries, and it is all run by the governor, and Yunnan does not have to fight for Cai Du Governor and Commander Yin, and must not enter lightly, and reincarnate branches"

Under the orders of the State Council and Yuan Shikai, the Dian army had to withdraw to its original defense. At the same time, Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan, also dispatched troops to Yanjing, forcing them by force to recapture Yanjing.

Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan, was suspicious of Yunnan, fearing that the Yunnan army would occupy his territory, and that the Yunnan army would be at the top of the list in the counterinsurgency struggle. Coupled with financial troubles, Cai Ye was heartbroken and helpless.

"It's not me Cai Ye who falls short, it's Wang Hengyue!" Cai Yi held the telegram in his hand and said sadly: "Wang Hengyue sent troops to Tibet Province twice in a row to quell the rebellion, and both times he saw that the victory was in hand, but he had to withdraw his troops!" The Manchu Qing Dynasty is like this, the Republic of China is like this, it's a pity! ”

However, Cai Ye didn't know that Wang Hengyue didn't care after receiving the order to retreat.

This was originally expected, and he sent troops twice, and he had already established a great reputation in Tibetan Province, and he had a clear grasp of the terrain of Tibetan Province.

And more importantly, he has left a "seed" in Tibetan Province, just waiting for it to blossom and sprout.

Although the two counterinsurgents did not succeed, when the third counterinsurgency came, Wang Hengyue knew that the final victor must be himself!

The seeds have been planted!
