It is always good to be positive, and Guangfu and Paleta have been praised and treated kindly by Yin Changheng, commander of the Northwest Military District, and it should be very promising to maintain their current position. And Yang Zengxin, the dual title of governor of Xinjiang and commander of the garrison, has been unceremoniously withdrawn by the central government, causing him to rush to Beijing to report on his work.
Although the central government has not made much changes to the political situation in Xinjiang, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time.
Although Yan Baoqing's status is not high, the earnest teaching of the old leader Paleta before leaving still makes him understand where to go now. As a soldier, he should strive to be the first and loyal to the country; As officials in Xinjiang, they should also work hard to make the central government accept them; As a subordinate of Paleta, he should win glory for the leader and work hard for the leader to be recognized by the central government.
Thinking of this, Yan Baoqing temporarily put aside the sadness of his deceased comrades-in-arms in his heart, and said with envy: "Brother Jingquan, the equipment of the government army is much better than ours, if the Guangzhao cavalry battalion has half of your fast guns and machine guns, maybe the whole army will not be wiped out." β
Jing Quan nodded with a smile and said, "Many of these weapons are supported by brother troops, fighting against cavalry, without strong firepower, it is likely that they will not be able to withstand the continuous fierce assault of the rebels. β
"The rebels moved very quickly." Yan Baoqing said: "Moreover, Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and the biggest obstacle for our army is supply rather than combat. β
"So we need to recover Kobdo first and turn it into our supply base." Jingquan agreed with Yan Baoqing's statement and said: "Perhaps we can attract the rebels and rely on the fortified city to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy." β
"It turns out that we also have a plan. It is to adopt the policy of attacking and defending, attacking the city of Kobdo, containing the rebels of Outer Mongolia, so that they do not dare to go straight to Altai. Yan Baoqing said: "But the troops are insufficient, the battle line is too long, and there is more than enough to defend but not enough to attack." β
"You have been able to repel the rebel attacks on Tsakhtungu several times. This is very good for the tide of the war. Jingquan said with a smile: "However, this plan of replacing defense with offense relies on the original troops in Xinjiang, and it is indeed difficult to implement." β
Yan Baoqing nodded, and asked a little strangely: "Brother Jingquan, forgive me for being reckless, your name is really rare. β
"I'm a Mongol." Jingquan explained with a smile: "It is from the Tumut Banner Department of the Naturalized City of Inner Mongolia, and he once served as a teacher in the village, and was later recommended by Brother Yunheng to join the Renaissance Party. β
"It turns out that Brother Jingquan is still a member of the Baath Party. The future is great! Yan Baoqing said enviously.
"You can't say that." Jingquan shook his head and said: "Our Baath Party is not a shortcut to promotion and wealth, but a gathering of people who fight for the country and the people. Moreover, even if you do not join the Ba'ath Party, if you make outstanding contributions or have real talents, you will also be valued by the government. β
Yan Baoqing opened his mouth and asked with some hesitation, "That." Are there many Mongolian soldiers in Brother Jingquan's cavalry regiment? β
Jing Quan smiled and said, "I know what you mean. The Mongols beat the Mongols, which is not very nice to say. But we are different from them, we are Mongolians and Chinese. The separatists are just a few princes and lamas who want to defect to the Russians and sell their country to seek glory, and they do not represent the aspirations of the vast number of Mongols. And our ultimate goal is to liberate all the oppressed, slave-like vast masses of poor Mongols. Break the feudal yoke that put on the Mongols. β
Yan Baoqing nodded as if he didn't understand, and a rumbling explosion suddenly sounded in front of him, and several scouts were coming quickly, it seemed that they had encountered the enemy.

"Explain, explain what?" Kupenschi was furious. A note from the Chinese government was slammed on the table.
The Chinese government's actions were indeed prepared and premeditated, as Zhu Erdian said. Not only did the army act resolutely, but it also organized a group of Chinese and foreign journalists to report with the army, and a military observer group to observe the battlefield. This was a great surprise to Russia, and there was a feeling of helplessness.
The first section of the Heilongjiang garrison eliminated the Mongolian bandits in the gilalin gold factory, disarmed and detained more than 50 members of the Russian road convoy, and sent a note asking why Russia was assisting the Mongolian bandits. At the same time, the Chinese army launched a fierce attack on the rebel-occupied city of Yubin (present-day Manchuria, Inner Mongolia), and after fierce fighting, regained the city. In the siege battle, he killed the officer of the 15th Siberian Wing of Tsarist Russia, Laokaplinsky, and 14 Russian soldiers, wounded hundreds of enemies, and captured 10 maps of the Tsarist army. And so, another strongly worded note flew in.
On the Western Front, the Chinese army and more than 4,000 rebels from Outer Mongolia fought fiercely outside the city of Kobdo. The scene of Seng Greenqin fighting the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was repeated again, and the rebels' cavalry charge suffered heavy losses in front of the fire network composed of government artillery, machine guns, and fast guns, as well as the wanton bombardment of airships. Subsequently, the fierce counterattack of the government cavalry regiment caused the rebels to completely collapse and flee back to the city of Kobdo in disarray.
After the initial victory, the Chinese army was not in a hurry to attack, but steadily set up camp and dug trenches and fortifications to be prepared. And the airships carried out deterrent bombing in the city of Kobdo to constantly demoralize the rebels. The follow-up troops and baggage teams were transported forward from Chahantonggu, apparently preparing to accumulate enough strength to capture Kobdo in a battle.
In view of the unfavorable situation and the fact that reinforcements from the Kulen side were still on the way, the Russian consul Kusminsky repeated his old trick and asked for mediation. However, the Chinese army sternly refused, and warned Kusminsky to immediately separate the Russian army from the rebels, otherwise he would be severely attacked.
All of this was preemptively sent back by the front-line press corps, and widely publicized by the newspapers and media, and Russia's interference in Outer Mongolia and China's internal affairs was clearly exposed, which further made Russia fall into further passivity. And the puppets of Outer Mongolia and Hulun are not angry, and in the face of the blows of the Chinese army, they have been defeated repeatedly, and they will only ask Russia to send troops for assistance.
Kupenschi sighed, is the era of relying on intimidation and blackmail to gain benefits really over?
Russia's support for the independence of Outer Mongolia did not bring any real benefit to Russia, but it was isolated by other powers because it violated the principle of preserving China's territorial integrity.
Russia is not very psychologically prepared for an armed conflict between China and Russia, and it is not what Russia wants. Second, there is the limitation of the third Russo-Japanese secret treaty. Naturally, Inner Mongolia cannot be involved. It belongs to the three eastern provinces, and it is the area through which the Eastern Railway passes, of course, it is best not to let Outer Mongolia interfere.
The Russian government hastily made several decisions in the hope of slowing down the current situation. The most important thing is to use both soft and hard measures, convene a Russian-Mongolian conference, and force the Outer Mongolian separatist group to cancel its independence. Changed to autonomy. The Russian Government instructed the consul in Kulen, Kosovitz, to "refrain from making many changes to the draft drafted by St. Petersburg and absolutely reject Mongolia's request for political independence and its request to be included in Inner Mongolia."
Among the princes, lamas, and other ethnic elites in Outer Mongolia, there were already differences in their attitudes toward "independence," and when the majority expressed their opposition, they were excluded from the "independent" government, and only a minority were in favor of "independence." Among these few people, there is a difference between fantasizing about "independence" and willingly defecting to Russia. Chelin Zimit represents the former. The latter is represented by Handa Dorzi. This disagreement was soon reflected in the Russian-Mongolian meeting.
At the first meeting, Korsovic presented a draft treaty prepared in advance by the Russian government, but the Outer Mongolian delegates did not understand Russia's intentions and submitted another draft to Korsovic for consideration, asking Russia to support "independence" and include Inner Mongolia. In addition to these two requirements, it was also stipulated that Russians were not allowed to buy land in Outer Mongolia, and were not allowed to run money-lending businesses, and so on. Attempts were made to limit the privileges of Russia.
At the second meeting, Kosovic took a tough stance. He expressed his utter unacceptability to accept the draft treaty drawn up by the Outer Mongolian delegates, and claimed that Russia's recognition of Outer Mongolia's autonomy and its permission to assist Mongolia in opposing China were preconditions for the conclusion of the Russian-Mongolian treaty drawn up by Russia. Chelin Zimit said: "The so-called Russian-Mongolian treaty now has no real benefits for the Mongolians. but put the Mongols on top of the anvil and under the hammer, and struck them at will"; He added: "The purpose of such a treaty is nothing more than Russia's desire to secretly place Mongolia under its own protection, so that Mongolia may become the second of Bukhara or Goryeo." β
Chelin Zimit argues that Outer Mongolia should still ask the Chinese government directly for negotiations. It will be better to see how Beijing's intentions are determined. Chelin Zimit's speech hit Russia in the sore spot. Annoyed and embarrassed, Kosovic threw the draft treaty proposed by Outer Mongolia on the ground, and under the pretext that Chelin Zimit had "insulted" him, he abruptly withdrew from the meeting and interrupted the meeting.
When the Chinese government received news of the possible signing of a treaty between Russia and Mongolia, on the one hand, it tried its best to dissuade Mongolia from signing a treaty with Russia through different channels. On the one hand, it issued a solemn statement that Outer Mongolia is Chinese territory, that Outer Mongolia has no right to enter into treaties with foreign countries, and that the Chinese Government will not recognize any kind of treaty concluded between Russia and Mongolia. On the other hand, to intensify military pressure on Outer Mongolia, airships once again bombed the assembly areas of the rebels in Outer Mongolia, and ordered the garrisons of Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia to step up preparations and implement the military plan of attacking Outer Mongolia on the eastern, western, and central routes.
, the location of the General Headquarters of the Mongolian Army.
Duan Qirui, the deputy commander of the army, reined in the horse's head and looked at the endless grassland, full of green, and countless beautiful shining clouds in the sky, which made people feel proud and soaring to the sky.
Feng Guozhang also stopped to watch, and suddenly let out a long howl for a long time.
"Hehe, Huafu, is this mood much better?" Duan Qirui smiled and raised his horsewhip.
"The vastness is boundless, and galloping on a horse is really a great joy in life." Feng Guozhang laughed.
Duan Qirui nodded and said: "Huafu, you should open your mind and meet the challenges, there may be setbacks or unsatisfactory in the past, but you are not discouraged, you are not discouraged, with your talent, how can you not have a chance to make a comeback?" β
Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly and slapped his boots with a horsewhip, and said slowly: "Brother Zhiquan, I have seen it these days, but I was saddened by you again. β
"See? Why don't you reply to our letters? Duan Qirui said with a smile.
"Hey, hey." Feng Guozhang grinned, paused, and explained: "Alas, we are people who are not at ease with the government, and we need to be observed, so we have to keep a low profile, and we have more contacts with Brother Zhiquan and others, which makes people suspect that it is not." β
"If there is no ghost in your heart, don't be afraid, make people cautious and cowardly." Duan Qirui said: "Fortunately, your performance is really good. β
"We are no strangers to military training." Feng Guozhang said helplessly: "Be a man with your tail between your legs, and we will too." If I didn't have Brother Zhiquan to help me above, I would have no chance of getting ahead, so I could only eat and wait for death below. β
"You're wrong." Duan Qirui shook his head and said, "The officer assessment is very strict, not to mention that I, the deputy commander of the army, even Chief Wu can't change the result." β
Feng Guozhang pondered for a while and said with a smile: "The army is different now from the past, we were only superior and loyal at that time. Now it is only the country, the government, and the people. You are the commander of the military region, and it is almost impossible for you to lead the troops to rebel. Moreover, the Judge Advocate General's Office is directly subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense, and military commanders are only in charge of fighting wars and commanding, and their power to appoint and punish personnel has been greatly reduced, not to mention their influence on soldiers and officers. β
"Isn't that what a soldier does?" Duan Qirui said: "Defend the family and the country, shed blood and contribute, and do your duty." β
Feng Guozhang nodded and said, "That's right, the military and the government are separated, and all dynasties and dynasties must do this." Compared with the bloody purges in history, the government is more polite. β
"Isn't that bad?" Duan Qirui said: "This is called the rule of law and democracy, not to raise nameless crimes, not to kill innocent people." The old man understands better than us that this is called separation of powers, checks and balances, and each performs its own duties. β
Feng Guozhang looked at the sky, paused for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, this is very good." As long as you don't have crooked thoughts, the government will not rush to kill them all. As for the soldiers, you can bring them, and if you fight, you can fight. But the heart of the army is controlled by the government. Hehe, I figured it out, and there was nothing left. At least the government has given my generation the hope of promotion and the opportunity to serve the country and kill the enemy. β
"Soldier, it's better to be pure." Duan Qirui said thoughtfully: "These are the words that are often on the lips of President Song. Listening is familiar, but it is really not a simple thing to understand thoroughly. β
"Brother Zhiquan, there is no need to say anything else." Feng Guozhang waved his hand, looked at the vast grassland, and said faintly: "My country has not had a class for a long time, and Huafu is not talented, but I want to promote this name." β
"Ambitious." Duan Qirui clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This time against Mongolia, Li Yuanhong on the western front, Heilongjiang on the eastern front, and Inner Mongolia on the central line, but many people are more energetic and want to build this miracle to the ancients." Since Huafu has this thought, I should help. β
Feng Guozhang blinked his eyes with some confusion and asked, "Brother Zhiquan, I'm just talking about it casually." You know, my troops are infantry, and they just want to grab credit, and they don't run as fast as cavalry? β
"Then you will go and become a cavalry brigade commander." Duan Qirui raised his whip and said: "There are cavalry on all roads, and the middle road is no exception, and the government transferred Ma Anliang's 2,000 cavalry from Qinghai to the command of the middle road. I heard that this cavalry is very combative, so you will be the commander. β
"Hehe, Ma Anliang has become a veteran of the light pole now." Feng Guozhang squeezed his eyes and said with a smile: "The government's trick is really clever, using the Outer Mongolia issue to not only win the morale of the people, but also eliminate the factors of instability." Xinjiang is already in the bag, and now Qinghai is immediately under the control of the government. β
