Chapter 313 Now, Zaraphanti couldn't care about Tarbagatai for a long time, so he could only start to plan how to protect himself with all his might

As soon as the reply to Petrovsky was sent, Zarafintai had already agreed with the Ili co-leader Habuqixian that he would transfer a part of the Ili garrison to Tarbagatai to strengthen Mingxu's defense. (Baidu search.)

Since 1763, the north bank of the Ili River was built as the garrison of General Ili and the capital of Xinjiang Huiyuan City (now south of Huocheng County, Xinjiang), Ningyuan City (now Yining City), Huining City (now Bayandai Town, Yining City), Taleqi City (now Guozigou Town, Huocheng County), Zhande City (now Qingshuihe Town, Huocheng County), Guangren City (now Lucaogou, Huocheng County), Gongchen City (old Huocheng County), Xichun City (now Panzi, Xicheng City, Yining City), Suiding (now Huocheng County) Zhucheng, And one after another around Huiyuan City rose up, this is the history of the "Ili Nine Cities".

Among the nine cities of Yili, the two cities of Huiyuan and Huining are the garrisons of the Manying camp, while the six cities such as Suiding are the garrisons of the green battalion soldiers, and the city of Ningyuan is the place where the Uygur (including Talanqi) merchants live, which is also called "Huicheng".

However, what Zarafintai can still hold in his hands at the moment is no longer the "Nine Cities of Ili", but only the "Five Cities of Ili", that is, the five cities of Huiyuan, Taleqi, Zhande, Gongchen and Suiding, as for the four cities of Ningyuan, Huining, Guangren and Xichun, they have long been occupied by the rebels.

This seems to be "good", because although the territory of Zarafintae is smaller, the troops are more concentrated, and under the drive of the rioters, the original garrisons of Ningyuan, Huining, Guangren and Xichun, which have been lost, have to pour into Huiyuan City one after another.

For a time, there were no less than 10,000 Manchu and Han soldiers in Huiyuan City, plus a large number of Manchu and Han people who could be armed.

Moreover, although the wind of the rebel army around Ili is overwhelming, and although the so-called Uyghur "Sultan (king)" here has just emerged, and then a Hui "Sultan" has emerged there, regardless of the Uyghur "Sultan" or the Hui "Sultan", they have already begun to send autumn waves with him Zarafentai:

The reason why these people are pulling the flag to rebel and occupy the land as the king is really not because we deliberately want to disagree with you, General Zarafentai Ili, but because of the current general situation. If you can see the shape carefully, don't be too stubborn, if you want, you can still maintain the power and majesty of your Ili general, as long as you give up two more of the nine cities of Ili, and the three of us can get three each, then we are still good brothers, and we can always get along closely and amiably in harmony and equality.

In the negotiations between the intermediaries chosen by each of the three parties for this purpose, the "sultans" even expressed this calmness to Zarafintay:

Peaceful coexistence between the three parties could not be better. Taking 10,000 steps back, in the future, if the "Great Qing Kingdom" comes back from the dead, with his General Zarafintai to rely on, they, the current "Sultans", will naturally not have anything more unlucky to come. And if the "Great Qing Kingdom" really dies to the end, he Zarafintai doesn't have to worry, as long as he Zarafintai can work with them to turn Xinjiang into a paradise for Muslims, he Zarafintai will not suffer either.

At that time, if he Zarafintai is not willing to be a part of the Muslim paradise, it will not matter, they can be like he treats them now, and fairly take out his share of the territory that should belong to Zarafinta, regardless of whether he Zarafintai is engaged in the "Great Qing Kingdom" or the "Manchukuo", they will rejoice and give positive and selfless help.

Therefore, since Zarafintai dared to talk to these "sultans" around him about the judgment, and at the same time, he was still making the decision that Huiyuan would draw troops to strengthen the strength of Tarbahatai City, which shows that Zarafintai is still very relieved about these "sultans" around him, at least for the time being.

In his opinion, after all, what he and his subordinates are going to fight to the death is a foreign enemy, the Tsarist ghost, and this Tsarist ghost should also be the mortal enemy of these "sultans" around him. Regardless of the reason for his current actions, there is no doubt that he is also acting as a pawn and shield for the "Muslim paradise of the Sultans" around him.

In this case, if these "sultans" around him will still be embarrassed and nonsense with him, it will be simply inhuman.

But Zarafintai was wrong.

Because the "sultans" who enjoyed the fruits of the revolting peasants who were unwilling to suffer were really few of them humane.

The rash Zarafintai never imagined that after the head of the Xibe battalion he sent out, Karmang'a, he didn't see a single Tsarist ghost after leaving Huiyuan City, but he fled back to Huiyuan City in a wolf manner.

Because, as soon as the men and horses under the command of Khalmang were approached by Guangren, they were fiercely intercepted and killed by the Uyghur "Sultan" Maizimuzate from Guangren City.

And just when Zarafintai had not fully recovered from the shock of the tragic blow of "his own family", another bad news came.

Petrovsky's main force of the Omsk Corps in Tsarist Russia had already come to his Ili with great vigour.

Now, Zarafintai couldn't care about Tarbagatai for a long time, so he could only start trying his best to plan how to protect himself.

Thus, starting from the end of June 1857, for nearly a month, three tragic battles were fought in Yili, namely Gongchen, Zhande, and Suiding.

However, what is extremely painful is that the countless Chinese Ili soldiers and civilians who would rather go forward for the sake of the dignity and territorial integrity of the motherland, sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, and shed their last drop of blood, not only fought desperately and bloody battles against the Russian invaders armed to the teeth in Zhande and Gongchen, but also had to fight in Suiding against those shameless people who were willing to lure wolves into the house and betray the country for their own selfishness.

On July 22, with the siege of Suiding, the "Sultan" of Xiaokait, and with the help of the Tsarist Russian army that came from the victory of Jander, finally gnawed down the city of Suiding, which caused them heavy losses, and the nine cities of Ili that Zalafentai used to be, only the city of Huiyuan at the foot of the foot, and the city of Taleqi that was alone in the western pass of the Tianshan Mountains.

On July 25, the ambitious and arrogant Petrovsky made a public letter to all the soldiers and civilians of Huiyuan City, saying that if the soldiers and civilians in the city still refused to open the city gate unconditionally to welcome the Tsar's troops into the city within the time limit, then the heroic and invincible Tsarist army would ruthlessly raze Huiyuan City to the ground.

However, Petrovsky still did not get the kind of painful answer he had assumed, and all he saw was the collective silence of the soldiers and civilians of Huiyuan City, who were immersed in infinite grief.

Kill and open the city of Huiyuan, take a three-day holiday, kill all the men, take the wealth at will, and as for the women, it is the best consolation that the heroic soldiers of the Tsar's expedition can use to vent.

As a result, the more brutal Battle of Erie broke out. e
