After the Russian government conquered Central Asia, in order to prevent the locals from mastering advanced military techniques and tactics, and in order to appease the Central Asian people who had suffered from its cruel oppression, it signed a treaty with the Russian government that it would not recruit a single soldier from Central Asia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Historically, it was not until the middle and late stages of World War I that the Russians finally broke this agreement and ordered the recruitment of troops from Central Asia, which led to fierce opposition from the local population and led to the outbreak of the Central Asian uprising in 1916.

Now that Tsarist Russia's rule in Central Asia is far less stable than it was 20 years later, and it has been defeated by China one after another, and in the eyes of the Central Asian people it is far less invincible than it used to be......

In less than a month, from the Caspian coast to the Pamirs, from the Kazakh steppes to the Turan lowlands, countless Central Asians from the Caspian coast to the Pamirs, from the Kazakh steppes to the Turan lowlands, took up all the weapons they could find and turned their heads to the nearest Russians (in fact, the Central Asian peoples did not consider themselves Russians until the fall of Tsarist Russia, but were forced to pay tribute to them). The attack, with the exception of the northern part of the Khiva Khanate, which had already broken away from Russian rule ahead of schedule, plunged the rest of Central Asia into serious chaos.

After receiving reports of large-scale riots in various places, the commander of the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia looked confused, and he couldn't understand how he could have such a violent reaction when he was just recruiting some logistics personnel in order to free up more Russian troops and some Russian immigrants to be integrated into the combat unit. If the reason is that all ethnic groups in Central Asia are disgusted with being soldiers, then the Chinese directly recruit a large number of soldiers among the herdsmen of Central Asia, which is even more serious, and it is clear that they want to be cannon fodder! Why is it okay?

His Excellency the Commander did not realize that Bai Lang had the motive of recruiting the natives to form a servant army as cannon fodder, but he fulfilled the two great wishes of the natives, one was to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Tsarist Russia and liberate it from their miserable life, and the other was that the servant army could share in the spoils of war that they considered quite rich; In contrast, Tsarist Russia was first and foremost the object of hatred of the peoples of Central Asia, and who meant to die for his enemies? Moreover, Tsarist Russia only uses them as logistics personnel, not to mention the special hardship, and they can't get the slightest benefit, so fools are willing to do it!

In other words, Bai Lang's recruitment was to provide the locals with a well-paid job after untying the shackles, while the recruitment of the Central Asian Military Region of Tsarist Russia added another layer to its already heavy shackles, and it is not natural that the people of all ethnic groups in Central Asia would have completely different attitudes?

At that time, more than 10,000 Russian troops were able to sweep away the Central Asian countries, and the advantage in combat effectiveness was very significant, and now although these mobs claim to have hundreds of thousands of people, after all, they are just some rabble without formal military training, and in the riots, the various tribes do their own thing, and they do not form a joint force at all, if it is a frontal battle, the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia only needs to dispatch an army to easily suppress it. But the problem is that this large-scale rebellion unprecedented in the history of Central Asia is blooming in all directions, and the main forces of the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia are concentrated to deal with Bai Lang's troops.

What's worse is that there is still a Chinese army in the hinterland of Central Asia that is eyeing it and is waiting for the opportunity to attack the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia!

But even if they knew that there was an opportunity to be taken advantage of, the Tsarist Russian Central Asian Front Command could only divide its troops to suppress the riot, and they could endure anything else, but the problem was that the Central Asian Railway was also damaged by the rebel army, and if this lifeline was interrupted for too long, the main force of the 200,000 Russian troops on the side of the headquarters would starve to death!

Since the rebels did not have a radio station, even if they could capture it, they would not use it, and when Bai Lang learned the news, this unprecedented mass riot in the history of Central Asia had developed into a prairie fire, but Bai Lang waited for more than ten days out of caution to confirm that the riots had blossomed all over Central Asia before finally ordering troops to be sent to the Bukhara Khanate.

In order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, he sent out the three armies under his command, hoping to calm down the situation before Bai Lang's troops advanced eastward, and at least restore the traffic of the Central Asian Railway, but he didn't expect Bai Lang to move away, and it was scary to move, because the troops were all cavalry and one man and five horses, and the terrain along the Amu Darya River was flat, It took them less than ten days to travel more than 1,000 miles and reach the city of Bukhara......

At this time, the command of the Central Asian Front, which hastily ordered the recall of the expatriate troops, barely managed to gather the troops that were less than one army, and did not dare to confront Bai Lang's army head-on, but chose to retreat. Since the road to the west had been cut off by Bai Lang's troops, the command of the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia could only withdraw eastward to the historic city of Samarkand, hoping that the scattered Russian troops would come to their aid in time to give them the ability to repel the enemy.

However, compared with the speed of the Russian army's build-up, Bai Lang's servant army expanded even faster, because the Bukhara Khanate occupied the most elite part of the Amu Darya River Valley, and its population was much larger than that of the Khiva Khanate. With so much cannon fodder, and the enemy's logistical supply has been cut off, if Bai Lang still can't win, then he won't be Bai Lang......

On September 16, 1907, Bai Lang's troops captured Tashkent, the last important city controlled by the Russian army in Central Asia, and the 200,000 Russian troops in the eastern section of the Central Asian Railway were all wiped out, about 130,000 were killed or missing, and the rest were all taken prisoner, while Bai Lang's 7th Cavalry Brigade still had no less than 5,000 soldiers to fight at this time. Well, Bai Lang's servant army still suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but they were outnumbered, and this loss was like a drizzle, and the Chinese and Russian armies, and even the world's mainstream public opinion, were even more lazy about the casualties of the servant army.

As a result, Bai Lang became a legendary general who killed and captured 300,000 Russian troops with a mere brigade and reduced the number of his own permanent attrition of less than 1,500 people, and the Western media also gave him a nickname, called "the wolf of Central Asia......
