Chapter 312 The tragic battle for the defense of Tarbagatai City lasted for three full days, and thousands of soldiers and civilians of Tacheng shed their last drop of blood for the honor of the motherland

Petrovsky sent messengers into Ili.

In his handwritten letter to Zarafintae, he first "extremely sincerely" admonished Zalafintae: We must not lose confidence in the future of the "Great Qing Kingdom" because of the loss of the "Beijing City of the Great Qing Kingdom". You must know that at present, in the "northeast region of the Great Qing Kingdom", there are still countless "Great Qing Dynasty warriors" who are fighting side by side with the heroic army of selfless Tsarist Russia, and have dealt heavy blows to the invading Taiping Heavenly Kingdom bandits again and again.

Therefore, he hoped that Zarafintai, as an important minister of the "Great Qing Dynasty", could also take on the great task of the pillar of the restoration of the Great Qing Dynasty in the northwest at a critical moment, just like the "Great Qing Dynasty Heroes" in the northeast, and lead the military and people of Xinjiang to join hands with the selfless Tsarist Russia to jointly turn Xinjiang into a vast sea where the Taiping rebels were buried.

Finally, Petrovsky did not forget to solemnly warn Zarafintai:

First of all, in any case, for the restoration of the "Great Qing Dynasty", the selfless Tsarist Russian government has once again extended a pure hand of friendship to the "subjects of the Great Qing Dynasty" at the invitation of the people of Xinjiang.

Secondly, if he, Zara Fentai, a man who has lost his country, would rather be depressed and unwilling to do his best for the "great cause of recovering the country" of the "Great Qing Dynasty", then it is okay, you should first stay in your Huiyuan City honestly and don't talk nonsense, and don't make any mess, especially not to make any blow and slander against the vigorous "enthusiasm for recovering the country" of the people in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains......

After receiving Petrovsky's letter, Zarafintai had a little headache, but this time he still didn't have the same headache as when Tarbagatai burned the Tsarist Russian trade circle. Because before this, Zarafintai had not only received the "imperial decree" decided by the regent Yi, but also received a "private message" from Uriya Sutai General Qingru.

If it is said that when he received the "imperial decree" from Yi Paipian, Zarafintai still had some resistance and grief and indignation, and even dared to beat his chest and shout "I'd rather be a ghost than a slave to the country", then, after reading Qingru's private message to him, Zarafintai no longer has a big temper.

Qing Ru told Sù Zara Fentai that the Taiping regime was by no means any regime they knew of in the past, because it was a groundbreaking and new special regime, and they not only represented the fundamental interests of all the people living at the bottom of society, fought bloody battles for them, but also did not have any concept of ethnic discrimination.

At present, under the active mediation of Zaiyuan, Seng Lingqin, and others, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government's policy of "national autonomy" for Mongolia, as well as unity and joint defense against foreign humiliation, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Mongolian people and accepted by the vast majority of the Mongolian tribal upper strata. Part of the main force of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was therefore rapidly advancing northward with the friendly help of the Mongol tribes.

Qingru also confirmed to Zalafentai that the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had advanced into the northeast with all its might, under the command of the famous generals Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang, with the support of the vast majority of patriotic former Qing soldiers and people along the way, and with the cooperation of former Qing officials, was like a bamboo, while the Russian ghosts who once rode on the head of "my Great Qing" to show off their might were defeated and retreated. He has every reason to believe that it will not be long before the brave and invincible officers and men of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether they come out of Mongolia or gallop in the northeast region, will not only be able to completely defeat the Tsarist Russian ghosts back to their original form and drive them back to their hometowns, but will also be able to recover all the Chinese territories that were lost and betrayed in the hands of "our Great Qing Dynasty......

Qingru sincerely advises Zarafentai that at this decisive historical juncture, he should realize that he has lost his way, use practical actions to wash away his past dirt, and strive for the leniency of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and people, and never go in the wrong direction again, let alone act as an ugly accomplice of the ghosts of Tsarist Russia, so as not to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, and be ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs.

Finally, Qingru also said that at present, he is not only actively maintaining the stability of his jurisdiction with all his colleagues in Uriya Sutai, waiting for the personnel appointed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government to fully accept them, but also starting the war of armament and smashing the shameless provocations of the Tsarist demons many times.

He also solemnly stated to Zarafintai that if the development of the situation in Xinjiang needs his help, he will work with all the military and civilians of Uriya Sutai to give him Zarafintai's full assistance......

In this way, in his own Ili general Yamen, Zarafentai held a meaningful ideological unification meeting. At the meeting, Zarafintae and his colleagues at all levels listened carefully to and analyzed the various voices and strategies that emerged in response to the current dire situation, and finally reached the following consensus:

In view of the fact that the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are in flames, and the actual power of General Ili is no longer able to control more areas of Xinjiang, he requires the officials and garrisons in various localities to first do their utmost to effectively protect the security of the towns and towns where he is stationed from being violated.

In the case of the surging insurrectionary armies, local officials should remember not to further escalate the conflict. Persuasion and pacification should be adopted as far as possible, and Burke and his ilk should not be concealed or protected by those who had committed the most heinous crimes and had great grievances among the people;

In the event of an attack by the rebels, in the event that persuasion and dredging are unfavorable, they may defend themselves as necessary, and as a last resort, they may turn to the major important places to concentrate and retreat, but it is never allowed to pursue the rebels under any name or pretext;

Finally, and most importantly, in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies such as Tsarist Russia and Kokand, there is no need for any request for orders, and they must resolutely fight back.

So, on July 3, 1857, Zarafintai officially replied to Petrovsky, "Although I Zarafintai am Manchurian, I have already integrated into this land of China, and every Qiē in China is the highest interest of my Zarafintai."

On the night of 10 July, Colonel Chernyaev, who had already occupied Baktukado, southwest of Tarbagatai, led the second brigade of the Tsarist Omsk Regiment with more than 3,000 demons armed to the teeth, and launched an all-out attack on the city of Tarbagatai.

The shameless behavior of Tsarist Russia aroused the common hatred of the military and people of Tarbagatai, and Ming Xu, the counselor of Tarbagatai, not only immediately led the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight back, but also quickly won the strong cooperation of the rebel peasant army in the suburbs of Tarbagatai and Kazakhstan, which were originally forced by the officials to rebel against the people.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Tarbagatai were not afraid of bloodshed, fought bravely, and dealt a certain blow to the aggressors, they could not get more powerful support in the face of the tiger-like and wolf-like strong enemy of Tsarist Russia, and it was difficult to do more after all.

The tragic battle to defend the city of Tarbaga Tai lasted for three whole days, and thousands of soldiers and civilians of Tacheng shed their last drop of blood for the honor of the motherland.

On the night of July 13, the Russian devils finally broke through the gates of the city of Tarbagatai.

Ming Xu refused the request of his subordinates to protect his breakthrough, and committed suicide in his yamen, the counselor of Tarbagatai.
