Chapter 112: The Battle of Xinjiang

Xinjiang has been a province for more than 40 years, but when the vast majority of mainlanders talk about him, they still don't know her very well, he is always shrouded in a veil of mystery, if you want to solve the problems of Xinjiang, you must first understand her!

At this time, the commander of the 6014 regiment was already on the tower of Jiayuguan City, and the battle flag was fluttering in the wind on the tower. www.biquge.info In the face of this former majestic pass, the regiment commander was in no mood to express his heroic feelings, he was choosing a suitable place to establish a military stronghold, and building a permanent military stronghold here, at this time the order directly sent by the General Staff Headquarters, although this order contradicted the order that allowed him to continue the pursuit, but it was indeed his pace that slowed down a little.

Now that the previous news has been confirmed, Ma Zhanfeng and the remnants have entered Xinjiang, and the next army must enter Xinjiang, but the preparations of the central army are still insufficient, so they can only consolidate the existing results first.

After the 6018 regiment entered Lanzhou City, the supply troops behind also came, and also transported the most needed grain in Lanzhou City, which was transported back from the United States at this time, and it was still very cheap to purchase grain in the United States at this time.

The issue of food security is a red bottom line issue, and China must be able to achieve food self-sufficiency, but the current land reform has not yet been fully realized, so it will take a while.

Shang Rongqian, who was in Beijing, received a report from the front line, and immediately came to the Summer Palace to find Guangxu, at this time Qing Wang Ye was also here, since Guangxu sent his three sons to serve in the arms sales business, the old man is still very grateful to Guangxu, but for his side Fujin, it is also the old man's heart forever painful!

Shang Rongqian said; "Your Majesty's supply troops on the front line have arrived at Jiayu Pass, whether to let Lu Yongxiang go to Xinjiang, Xinjiang is now in danger! Tang Zheng and the adults are struggling! Urumqi will change hands at any time! ”

At this time, Qing Wang Ye said; "General Shang, have you ever thought about what we should do after Lu Yongxiang leaves the customs!"

Rong Shangqian said: "Marshal! Our soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory, of course, to find fighters, destroy the enemy, and restore the great rivers and mountains! ”

Qing Wang Ye said; "After recovery, do you want to send a large army to garrison again to prevent chaos again!"

Rong Shangqian said: "This is natural, and a large army must be sent to station!" ”

This is what King Qing said; "Xinjiang covers an area of more than 500,000 square kilometers, and in such a large area, how many troops do you think it is appropriate to station, and do you know how much military spending it will cost! How much equipment and money do you have to invest every year? Who's going to pay for it? Shall it all be added to the heads of the people? Let the army raise their own salaries locally! ”

Also, when the combat effectiveness of our army is weakened again, what should we do if they rebel again, just like the last time Marshal Zuo Zongtang had already gone to Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, but now they are still in rebellion, do they still have to send troops to solve it next time?

Our empire has a lot of money, and there is nowhere to spend it. Or is there a lot of people, should they be sent to the front to die? They were all raised by their parents, are the sons and daughters of our Chinese Empire cheap?

Qing Wangye's words were speechless, Rong Shangqian's teeth were speechless! At this time, he looked at Emperor Guangxu for help, but Guangxu didn't look at him at all, it seemed that Guangxu supported Prince Qing.

This is Guangxu put down the letter in his hand, and then directly made instructions on the letter, handed it to the current secretary Dai Zhixin, and then told Dai Zhixin; "Tell the truth, bring the Longquan Sword!"

At this time, Guangxu stood up and said to King Qing; "Uncle Huang! This time, I can only trouble your old man! Jang Zhidong went to Silla Province, and it's not easy to deal with it here! Prince Gong is also dealing with a war that is inferior to the war abroad, and the most infuriating thing is that Yuan Shikai actually let people assassinate him, this revenge must be avenged, hateful assassin! ”

Now the only commander of the Manchu Dynasty is Uncle Huang, who can take on this important responsibility!

At this time, Dai Zhixin brought Guangxu's Longquan sword, and Guangxu took this sword and said; "Your Majesty, you have to think about it! As a result, after this sword, you may have to bear the infamy of eternity, and from today onwards, you will be talked about repeatedly, and you may become a historical sinner with an even worse reputation than Qin Hui! ”

Qing Wang Ye clenched his fists and bowed his head to think about Guangxu said; "Your Majesty! The old minister is already close to the age of antiquity, and this old bone can be exchanged for a hundred years of long-term peace and stability in Xinjiang in his lifetime! All the sacrifices are worth it, and I am willing to be this 'Yang Shilang'! ”

Let the queen bear the sword from Guangxu's hands!

Guangxu said; "I've wronged Uncle Huang! From this moment on, what I can help you is the material aspect, I have already transferred grain from the South Seas and the Americas, and absolutely guarantee the grain consumption in Xinjiang, you don't have to worry, there is also the problem of military preparations, each military factory will give priority to ensuring the supply of equipment for the Northwest Army, as well as military spending, and it will really focus on the northwest, and the rest will be fully open to Uncle Huang's strategy! ”

Qing Wang Ye said; "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is much better than when Zuo Zongtang went on the expedition!"

Guangxu then said to Shang Rongqian; "In the name of me, the Generalissimo of the Army and the General Staff of the Army, I ordered the appointment of Field Marshal Prince Qing, Aisin Jueluo. Yi Qiao is the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he has the right to cut first and then play, and control all affairs related to Xinjiang in Mobei, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet and other places, and all personnel and materials of the imperial military and government are deployed by the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army! ”

Qing Wang Ye immediately thanked him for receiving the order!

As soon as the news came out, the world was shaken, and the most uncomfortable thing in this was Zuo Zongtang, he was also the marshal of the empire, and he had conquered Xinjiang, but this time he didn't have to be a victorious general, but used this bad reputation Qing Wangye, it's really nepotism!

First of all, news came out in various newspapers, saying that I can, the emperor, this Guangxu did not expect it, and the reaction of public opinion is really big enough! But this is nothing, Guangxu knows that there is more fierce behind, but seeing Zuo Zongtang's complaining eyes every day, Guangxu is also enough, so Guangxu soon took this old man with Shang Fang's sword and went to Myanmar.

At this time, Dai Zhixin came out in a timely manner; "Your Majesty! This Longquan sword is gone, isn't it building a few! ”

This also made Guangxu think of the Longquan sword on Taobao in later generations, 128 yuan a piece is also free shipping, and now build a sword, especially Guangxu to build a sword, which is very expensive, the key Guangxu really didn't see that it was good, and it could really be used to chop wood.

Let's make a few swords!

In the future, there are still a lot of marshals in the empire, this thing is a symbol of face, when the official position reaches this level, face and prestige are everything, this is a very special thing, so tell the craftsman, the first thing is to be beautiful and luxurious, and it is okay to be inlaid with diamonds!

Half a month has passed, but the 6014 regiment still has no other orders, the 6014 regiment has been completely replenished in the past half a month, and has also obtained a lot of new weapons, and the 6011 regiment and the 6012 regiment have also been assembled in Jiayuguan, and now the establishment of each army is not at the brigade level, so there are three regiments, which is definitely the main force of the empire.

But they were ordered to rest and stand by and at the same time help the militia and the local government to carry out the agrarian revolutionary movement!

Now Lu Yongxiang sits in Xi'an with the new governor in Gansu and Shanxi provinces to carry out the land reform movement, this movement has been strongly supported by the people, history is like this, the last years of each feudal dynasty must be serious land annexation, the Qing Dynasty at this time is no exception, so it will definitely get the support of the people, but this time there is no large-scale bloody conflict and political confrontation time, the central army with the strong cooperation, most of the landlords are still willing to cooperate, with a family into the city.

These people are the first immigrants of China's modern urbanization, they are either relatives or friends, and it will not be long before they will find that life in the city is beautiful, not to mention that there is no smog and traffic congestion, and the holiday is not so expensive!

If they have a little brain, they can also become the tide of the times, and they will still be rich in the future, and the times have given them such an opportunity, but they were unwilling at that time, and now the army is still encircling and suppressing those who resist, they are not willing to give up the ownership of the land, and they are not interested in what is a stock at all.

He naively picked up a gun to resist the suppression of the armed police and the army, so Lu Yongxiang was also very busy, and now Qing Wangye still did not come to Xi'an to command Xinjiang, and the order of the staff was to listen to Qing Wangye, although Lu Yongxiang's heart was very anxious, but he didn't know what the marshal thought, this is all a rest but many days, when will he send troops to Xinjiang!

At this time, King Qing was still researching in Dongying Village, Shandong!

This Dongying area was first discovered by Li Hanzhang with people, and then Li Hongzhang came back and began to make great efforts to open wells, hit out black oil, and began to refine no, at the beginning by the electric light, the profit is still very high, but the overall use of lighting has, so the output is not very large, but then the internal combustion engine was mass-produced in China, and the oil was not enough all of a sudden, and the heart was more prosperous than the city in this originally small Dongying Village, and the lights were bright at night, either people or cars.

Li Hongzhang also sent a special person to manage, the governor of Shandong also attached great importance to it, and the Nanjing government also did not dare to be careless, thinking that there are only two oil fields in general, one in the direction of Wuhan, and the other is this oil field, so if you want to promote the automobile industry in the future, this oil field must be protected, so there are armed police forces stationed around this oil field, and the army only needs an hour's drive to here, because the road is well repaired, but it is always crushed by those overloaded trucks.

Prince Qing first visited the oil well, and then visited the oil refinery, the whole process was very serious, everyone didn't know what the marshal was going to do, and soon someone called Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang, the only marshal in China, had no time to pay attention to him at all, the two of them chatted on the phone, and now both of them are very busy!

When he put down the phone, King Qing said; "The old man cherishes it! Li Hongzhang understands what this means, they are all old! ”

Li Hongzhang also said on the phone; "Precious!"

After putting down the phone, Qing Wangye looked at the flow of people and vehicles outside the window and knew that saving things in Xinjiang may be a key point!

If you are not careful, can you do it!

The prince took it to this small place for ten days, and he also took away a lot of technicians, and in this era, you have a lover who spends money, and even the vehicles for transporting oil are customized dozens of them in Tianjin. In this way, King Qing finally set off in a sound of urging.

During this time, the people of Nanjing and Beijing have scolded both this old man and Guangxu, of course, Guangxu is still more polite, but the others have not let go, why still do not send troops to Xinjiang, why! Rong Shangqian, the chief of staff, should resign, why doesn't Tang Shaoyi care about it and so on!

During this period, Tan Sitong also came out to intercede as the Minister of Propaganda, and the central government has arranged these things, so don't worry!

But people didn't buy it at all, and even he scolded him!

Guangxu saw that the pressure on the imperial uncle was too great, so when he officially set out on the expedition, he issued an edict to the whole country, Prince Qing was originally a county king, and now it is officially crowned to the top! Crowned to Prince level!

The old man is full of expectations, and he has no regrets!

At the same time, Guangxu also added a new group of nobles, the original Qing Dynasty was still very strict about the crowning of nobles, but now Guangxu knows the potential to inspire people's confidence at this time is a favorable tool.

The marshal mentions the position of the count, the admiral is also a second earl, the lieutenant general is a viscount, and the major general mentions the baron. Civilian officials have always been unknighted, but now Tang Shaoyi and Zhao Bingjun in Nanjing have special status, and they have a decisive contribution to the establishment of the Chinese Empire, so both of them have obtained the title of viscount, and then other important government officials have also been canonized.

Originally, Guangxu thought that he might be opposed by people, but he didn't expect that there was no one who objected, so everyone spent a perfect Spring Festival in a sound of laughter.

Guangxu looked back at the Gengzi year of the entire empire, he found that he had no way to prevent many things from happening, this year the Boxers came, and many people died, but the Eight-Nation Alliance did not come, and it is estimated that they will not dare to come in the future, and there is the Hailan Pao tragedy and the tragedy of Jiangdong 64 Tun, Guangxu has ordered the murderer to be severely punished, how can you treat the Russian people so cruelly!

When let Guangxu know that this murderer can never be found, Guangxu summed up a point, people always have to die, but as long as the dead are not Chinese!
