Dolzishamu is the hereditary successor of the Duke of the Auxiliary State, and he has the title of subordinate. If in the heyday of the Qing court, Dorji Shamu's identity and Huitenan's several times stood in line with the central government's cousin, it would be completely possible to despise such a governor as Liu Xian.

The pastureland is south of Bayanor. (Bayan Nuoer is in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, more than 40 miles.) The Tunuoer water flows out of the northwest and buckles for more than 30 li) to Bayan Nuoer Dongshan Mulu [Linxining] in the east, to Obo Hali Katu in the south to Wolan Bulak Sangli Gatu in the south, to the Borchul Hali Katu River in the west, and to Nalan Salan in the north.

Life is definitely delicious. From time to time, you can go to Xining Mansion for a walk, enjoy luxury or something, and it is too convenient to go out closely.

But when the sun set in the western mountains of the Qing court, when the threat of the eight tribes around the sea was increasing, when Xining Mansion was completely occupied by the rebel army of the True God Sect, and the front of the army was close at hand, Dorji Shamu was respectful to Liu Xian.

"Master Pei. The last general told the truth, Xining Mansion, our army must fight. ”

Otherwise, when the war in Xinjiang was in full swing, the arms transportation line was cut off by the violent forces of the True God Cult in Xining, and something would have happened. And the transportation line has to pass through the vast wilderness of Qinghai for thousands of miles, and if you don't find a chicken to kill it early to show the monkeys, some things that don't have long eyes don't know how powerful my brother's blade is.

What Dorji Shamu is looking forward to is Liu Xian's words. He Huite Mongolia only has such a branch in Qinghai, unlike the 21 banners of the Heshuo Special Division, the 29th Banner of Qinghai Zasak, and the rest of the Mongolian tied together can not withstand half of the strength of the Heshuo Special Division.

Now, although Qinghai Mongolia is in the same spirit, and they have long stopped dismantling each other, but at the critical moment, when it comes to the realm of life and death, Dorji Shamu does not believe that the Mongolian princes of the Heshute Department and the Turhut Department will fight hard to save themselves.

As early as when the Tibetans marched north into Qinghai Lake, the most reliable support of the Huitenan Banner was the Qing garrison in Xining. It's a pity that the True God Cult broke out, and Yutong, the minister of Xining, was timid and incompetent. After Xunhua Ma Gasan led the riotous army to occupy the road from Nian Bo to Xiangtang (now Qinghai Minhebei) and cut off the traffic from Lanzhou to Xining, he was helpless and even gave birth to the so-called "thief attacking thieves" to make the world's ridiculous 'strategy', citing Ma Guiyuan, the leader of the Xunhua True God Cult, acting as the Tongzhi of the Xunhua Department, and his brother Ma Benyuan acting as a guerrilla of the Xunhua Battalion, and later protecting the Xining prefect of the Ma Guiyuan Agency, and the Xining Zhenbiao guerrilla of the Ma Guiyuan Agency and acting as the chief soldier, in an attempt to take advantage of the relationship between Ma Guiyuan, Ma Benyuan and Ma Gasan. Moderate the attack of the Cult of God's riotous army.

To this day, the area around Xining is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, but in fact it is under the control of Ma Gasan and Ma Guiyuan. Huang Wuxian, the commander-in-chief of Xining Town, was also a waste, and the garrison was at Weiyuanbao (now Qinghai Mutual Aid), ninety miles north of Xining, and did not dare to take a step to the west. The surroundings of Xining are completely controlled by the True God Cult, and it seems to have become another important base for the True God Cult.

"The military gate is willing to attack Xining in the east as it wishes, and Dorji Shamu is willing to invite all departments to help."

"What I want is the words of Bei Ziye." Liu Xian could see his sincerity from Dorzi Shamu's eyes, and the Xining True God Cult Riot Army and the Huitenan Banner were simply sharp on his back, making him feel like he was on pins and needles.

"Liu doesn't have any silver, but there are more guns and gunpowder. As long as the hero dares to come, Liu Xian will not be disappointed. ”

Dorzishamu's eyes lit up, and there was such a good thing? Removing the threat from Xining is the common wish of all Mongolian banners. Dolji Shamu is sincere, but he really doesn't mean to take benefits.

"The military gate is willing to give firearms?"

"As long as we can get rid of Xining, we can stabilize the rear road of our army. Just arms, why pity? ”

Immediately, the host and guest enjoyed themselves. Liu Xian was slightly drunk and was sent to the front of the barracks by Dolji Shamu all the way. Looking at Dorji Shamu's enthusiastic posture, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the expeditionary army and Liu Xian's consistent example, he would really have chosen a beautiful woman to warm Liu Xian's bed.

Early in the morning, Dorzi Shamu personally led people to the men's Heshuotenan Right Wing Final Banner. Positivity can be seen.

Five days later, rumors were circulating throughout the entire Qinghai Lake that the expeditionary army would first cut off the threat on the back road of Xining, and that Dolji Shamu of the Huitenan Banner would take the lead and prepare to organize a large army to help.

……

Outside the city of Guide Hall, when he got Ma Guiyuan's letter, Ma Gasan shouted angrily: "I just said that you can't blindly be gentle with the Mongols, you must take one or two and slaughter them, and establish your authority." If you had listened to me, you would have destroyed the Huitnan Banner and slaughtered Dolzishamu, and how could you find someone to connect with the dogs? ”

The sullenness that had been besieging the city for months was mixed with the fury of learning the news behind him, and Ma Gasan's anger erupted in silence for the generals and soldiers around him.

"Back to the army. Go to the Sun Moon Pass! Ben Shuai wants to see, what ability does this Qinggou surnamed Liu have to dare to expedition to the border of thousands of miles? ”

Ma Gasan is a banner of the Xining Riot Army, a banner that stands clearly on the stage.

With the continuous support behind Ma Guiyuan and Ma Benyuan's brothers, Ma Gasan has taken over Longhua Hall and besieged Guide Hall. As long as Guide is taken again, the land south of Xining will be in the hands of the rebel army.

You must know that to the east of Xining is Hezhou, which is Ma Zhanao's lair and a major base of the rebel army.

In such a way, the territory is connected, and there is no hostile force, it will be a liberation of the power of the riot army.

They will be free to deal with Fort Weiyuan to the north, or to deal with the army of Dorona to the west.

It was in this situation that Liu Xian's troops pointed to Xining. Ma Gasan's retreat today will definitely give the Guide Hall a chance to breathe, and the siege, encirclement, and trapping of the previous months will be in vain.

……

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-four......"

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight have just shone on the earth. In the barracks of the expeditionary army, the shouts of running drills have already sounded in the sky.

Two heavily armed infantry brigades drove out of the camp gate, and after running for a week along a small lake not far from the station, as they had done before, they returned to the camp in the same order as they had gone out.

……

"Two or even three drills a day, no wonder these officers and soldiers are so well-trained."

"What is well trained? I think it's all showcase. It's just a neat run. What's the use of on the battlefield? ”

"If you don't understand, don't talk. The officers and soldiers are all firearms, and they are about to be fought in rows, and the power is great. ”

……

The Qin army's drills do not avoid the people. The young men who had gathered in the Huitenan Banner had seen it very clearly in a few days, and they were all saying everything.

The Mongolians who were still soldiers in wartime and grazing on weekdays were still the same as hundreds of years ago, and they are really too far behind the times.

On May 23, it rained lightly. That night, a cavalry army braved the raindrops and submerged into the dark night.
