The Hazaras are the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan and, according to research, they are descendants of the garrisons left behind by Genghis Khan and his descendants after their expeditions to the west. The Hazaras also use the Chinese zodiac, and in a certain sense, the Hazaras are also very close to the Chinese.

However, the situation of the Hazaras in Afghanistan is very miserable, the Pashtuns occupy the richest and most fertile places in Afghanistan, and other ethnic groups are oppressed by them, among them, the Hazaras are the most oppressed.

Since the formation of the modern Afghan state in the mid-18th century, the Hazaras have been persecuted by the Pashtuns, the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, and many have been forced to flee from various parts of the country to the mountains of central Afghanistan. This area is now known as "Hazarajat". The mountainous region of Hazarajat, centered on Bamiyan, spans several provinces of Afghanistan and accounts for one-third of the territory of Afghanistan. In Dost. Muhammad. During the Khan's reign of the Barakzai dynasty, the Hazaras living in Hazaraghat were heavily taxed. However, during this period, the Hazaras were able to partially govern themselves. to his grandson Abdul. Rahman. During the period of the Khan's emir, due to the support of some Hazaras, Abdul. Rahman's uncle, who was killed by Abdul. Rahman suppressed it by military means.

In 1893 the Hazaras rebelled again and took most of Hazarajat by surprise and regained most of it. Rahman repression. During this period, half of the Hazaras were killed, and many of the Hazara property was looted by the Pashtuns. So much so that they were forced to live in various big cities to find a way to make a living. Abdul. Rahman's brutal rule over the Hazaras led to a long period of ethnic hatred between the Hazaras and Pashtuns in later generations.

The Chinese Empire was founded. And it is rising rapidly. After becoming a major power in the world. The Hazaras sent people all the way to China to ask for help. Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received the Hazaras from Afghanistan, but they did not pay much attention to them. After all, the Hazaras are nothing more than a small people with a population of hundreds of thousands. For the vast Chinese Empire, this was nothing at all. Fortunately, Wu Tingfang, who was still serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, learned about this by chance, so he reported it to the Emperor Wang Yuze. Wang Yuze was very interested in the Hazaras, and he specially asked people to study the history of the Hazaras. After learning that these Hazaras were really descendants of Genghis Khan's descendants, Wang Yuze immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start an operation to ensure the interests of the Hazaras in Afghanistan.

At that time, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a solemn protest to King Habibullah Khan of Afghanistan and warned him not to persecute the Hazaras, and if the persecution of the Hazaras happened again in Afghanistan, China would take military action against Afghanistan to punish Afghanistan! At first, Habibullah Khan did not heed China's warnings, or he thought China was powerful. But it is too far away from Afghanistan, even if China already occupies an important position. But most of China's troops in Central Asia are close to Russia, and pose little threat to Afghanistan. In addition, Habibullah Khan had a close relationship with the British, and with the help of the British government, he established a new army of 100,000 people, which is quite arrogant.

In May 1903, the persecution of the Hazaras broke out again in Afghanistan, and thousands of Hazaras were killed by the Pashtuns. The Chinese government immediately issued an ultimatum to Afghanistan and Habibullah Khan, demanding that Habibullah Khan hand over the murderers of the Hazaras and compensate the Hazaras. However, Habibullah Khan, with the support of the British, refused the demands of the Chinese side, and not only did not stop persecuting the Hazaras, but intensified it.

Three days later, China announced that it would punish Afghanistan. An infantry division and a cavalry brigade were transferred from the Chinese 5th Army in Central Asia, and the five Central Asian ethnic groups also responded to China's call and sent up to 50,000 cavalry troops to attack Afghanistan from northern Afghanistan. The Afghan army blocked the invasion of the squadron along the Penchi River. However, this battle taught the Afghans a profound lesson, as many as 50,000 Afghan troops were surrounded and annihilated, and the 5th Cavalry Brigade of the Chinese Army also joined the cavalry units of the five Central Asian ethnic groups, and even bypassed the Hindu Kush Mountains and fought under the city of Kabul. Habibullah Khan panicked and begged for forgiveness from the Chinese side. At the same time, the British masters were brought out and asked to mediate.

Originally, the Chinese side planned to overthrow the rule of Habibullah Khan, but the British side claimed that Afghanistan was an important British colony and China could not invade Afghanistan. Considering that China was continuing its strength after that, it could not be interrupted by an external war. So, it was agreed to negotiate with Afghanistan. Eventually, after Habibullah Khan pledged not to persecute the Hazaras again, and paid huge reparations to the Hazaras, the squadron withdrew from Afghanistan.

Since then, Habibullah Khan has not dared to openly persecute the Hazaras, but secretly he has not embarrassed the Hazaras. It's just that it's more secretive, and the Chinese side can't interfere. However, given the importance of Afghanistan's geographical location, it can be considered an important barrier for India. As a result, both China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Intelligence Agency have stepped up their infiltration into Afghanistan. This infiltration was not limited to the Hazaras, but also to the more populous Tajiks and, to the lesser extent, the Uzbeks and Turkmens. These three ethnic groups, because several ethnic groups in Central Asia have established their own states with the support of China, they are also pro-Chinese in nature, and China's penetration in the northern region of Afghanistan has achieved great results. In order to enhance the strength of these Afghan ethnic minorities, the Chinese side has secretly provided a large number of weapons and equipment to these ethnic minorities, although the number of rifles, machine guns and mortars in some of the Chinese army has been reequipped is very small, but it has also greatly improved the armed forces of these ethnic minorities. They have been fighting the Afghan government in the past, but they have been suppressed because of their rudimentary weapons. With the support of China, the various tribes formed their own tribal armies, and they continued to fight against the Pashtuns, causing turmoil in Afghanistan and making Habibullah Khan anxious.

This made Habibullah Khan even more determined to turn to the British, knowing that without the support of the British, China would have supported the minority to subvert his rule. It was only with British patronage that he might be able to maintain his rule. However, later China defeated the Anglo-French forces again in the Middle East War, which made Habibullah Khan feel a deep fear, but fortunately China was preparing for a world war at that time and did not take action against Afghanistan. Otherwise, his reign would have been over. This time, China has officially launched an attack on India, and Afghanistan is the first target to be addressed.

The remnants of the Anglo-Indian army, led by Lieutenant General Adri, commander of the 23rd Anglo-Indian Army, were defeated in Pulkhumri and were intercepted by the Hazara tribal forces. After China began to launch a war against India, these Afghan nationalities who were friendly with China immediately took action, and a large number of young people took weapons and began to attack the British and Indian troops, or lead the way for the squadron, etc. After all, if you are fighting in an unfamiliar area, if you are led by a guide, you will get twice the result with half the effort when chasing the enemy.

More than 5,000 Hazara tribes armed hold the road to the Hindu Kush in Pulkhumri. Because of the narrow mountain roads, although the Anglo-Indian army led by Lieutenant General Adri numbered more than 20,000 troops, they still had no way to deal with the 5,000 Hazaras. At the same time, the squadron that was chasing Lieutenant General Edri was also speeding up after receiving the news.

"Damn it, attack, kill them all!" Lieutenant General Edri was on a mound and was very angry as he watched the attacking British and Indian soldiers being pinned down outside the valley. In this battle, he planted a big heel, 500,000 British and Indian troops were wiped out by the first group of the Chinese army in a few days, and only tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army were left to flee in all directions, and it is still unknown whether they can escape back to India. Originally, he would be able to enter the Hindu Kush Mountains immediately, and as long as he escaped into the deep mountains, he would be able to escape the pursuit of the Chinese army. Although it must be very difficult to cross the Hindu Kush Mountains, it will be very difficult and will pay a huge price, at least you don't have to be captured by the Chinese and walk into the Chinese prisoner of war camp again. However, at the last critical moment, these Afghan tribal forces actually made it difficult for them and blocked their escape path, which made Lieutenant General Adri furious.

Although, in order to escape for their lives, the Indian Asan also used their strength to eat, but the Hazaras occupied the first position in the valley, and although their weapons and equipment were even more rudimentary than the Anglo-Indian army, they resisted the attack of the Anglo-Indian army to the death. These Hazaras were very valiant, and although they also paid a heavy price for this, they persevered. They know that there is no idiot's lunch in the world, and if they want to gain China's support and overthrow the rule of Habibullah Khan, they have to take credit. And this time, it's a great opportunity. Under the orders of the tribal elders, these Hazara boys fought very tenaciously.

A few hours later, the Chinese Army, which was pursuing the British and Indian forces, arrived on the battlefield. Their entry into battle completely ended the fate of the Anglo-Indian army. Under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, the British and Indian troops were either killed on the spot, or they had to surrender on their knees, and Lieutenant General Adri once again walked into the prisoner of war camp of the squadron!
