Chapter 190: You'll Regret It! I promise--
The Qing army that defeated Agubo suddenly attacked Kokand, attacked Andijan, and blamed the Kokand Khanate. Britain and Russia, who are closely watching the situation in Xinjiang, were all shocked.
At this time, the British Viceroyalty of India had already learned in detail about the composition of the expeditionary army and the past deeds of its commander, Liu Xianam. "This is a soldier who grew up in the war." India's Viceroy Richard Brown, who took over earlier this year, has just taken over the post of Governor-General of India. Burke was troubled by this.
To deal with the affairs of the military delegation, he had to face a force with more than 5,000 people, crossed a journey of 10,000 miles, pacified the entire southern part of Xinjiang, and defeated the 450,000 main forces of the Agubo and Kokand Khanate. This is completely different from the Qing Empire troops I have heard of in the past, those troops in the eastern coastal zone of the Qing Empire!
A general who rises to the bottom-
Such people are almost all stubborn and hard-core, and if you don't subdue them hard, they won't face your voice. And because of the different locations and different perspectives, he will not be as easy to scare as the upper echelons of the Qing Empire in Beijing.
Isn't it nonsense that you told him about the security of the eastern coast thousands of miles away in Xinjiang? He is the governor of Urumqi, not the generalissimo of the world.
I want to rely on a foreigner's 'face' to swipe the card. Colonel Sayif, Jack. It is almost impossible for Major Dural and others to come back. It is almost impossible to use the name of the British to scare him into withdrawing his troops and returning to Xinjiang.
What should I do?
Richard. Burke could only send a telegram to the minister in Beijing, Ali Guo, asking him to start from the upper echelons of the Qing Empire and let the central center of the Qing Empire order Liu Xian to fight the Kokand Khanate and withdraw its troops.
"Send a telegram to Mr. Donald, asking him to go to the commander of the Qing army and ensure the safety of the members of the military delegation." Richard. Burke pursed his lips, countless thoughts and thoughts kept turning in his head. "Let Mr. Donald pay attention to the strategy,......, this general of the Qing Empire...... Won't be so easy to talk to. ”
"Delay time, as long as you delay time, don't let the Qing army advance to Andijan again. I think at most a month, Beijing's order will make him obediently return to Xinjiang. ”
Richard. Burke's main focus now is on Afghanistan. Thirty years had passed, enough time for the British to regain their courage after the crushing defeat at the hands of the Afghan army, and the entire Indian continent had bowed its head to the British, and the turmoil of the Indian uprising nine years earlier had been completely flattened, and no one in the world could stop the British Empire's advance towards Central Asia.
Donald arrived in Kashgar on June 22. He first met Zhang Zhongkui, who was in charge of Kashgar affairs.
"Your Excellency, on behalf of myself, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your army for ensuring the safety of the lives of our personnel. I would like to ask you to convey to your Admiral, that I hope to have a pleasant meeting with him as much as possible. ”
Donald, who entered Kashgar New Town, failed to see Liu Xian for the first time, and the excuse given by Zhang Zhongkui was that Liu Xian had returned to Khotan. Donald did not insist on this, and asked to see the captured British members. When he saw the members of the military delegation who were well treated even in the prisoner camp, he was very satisfied. In Donald's opinion, after the lessons of the previous War of the Two Crows, no one in the Qing Dynasty would dare to brutally punish the British.
A concern in his heart was removed, and Donald asked to see Liu Xian again.
Two days after Donald arrived in Kashgar New City, Davydovsky, the special envoy of the Orenburg Governorate of Tsarist Russia, also arrived in Kashgar New City. Just like Donald two days ago, when he was not able to see Liu Xian for the first time, Davydovsky immediately asked to see the captured personnel on the Russian side. In the prisoner camp, he met Andrei, who was in good health and in good condition. Lieutenant Colonel Pochersky, the two had a conversation for a while.
The people arranged by Zhang Zhongkui let them talk, and there was nothing to limit this.
On the evening of Davydowski's arrival in Kashgar, Donald visited Davydowski. Both men are confident in completing the tasks they have been tasked with. The cooperation of the Qing army made them very happy, so much so that both of them felt that if they brushed their faces tomorrow, it seemed that the problem would be solved.
Davydowski looked down on the Qing army for a hundred, and Donald forgot that Richard was the time he came. Burke had his counsel passed on to him. In fact, the preferential treatment received by the British and Russian personnel in the prisoner camp, and the conciliatory attitude of the Qing army after they entered Kashgar, are too deceptive.
So much so that they gave birth to the absolute superiority of 'foreign adults'.
"Two, there has never been a country in the world that will unconditionally release dozens of military instructors who are in rebellion. British and Russian military personnel appeared in the nest of the rebels, and tens of thousands of Enfield M1853 British rifles appeared in the hands of the rebels, which was a serious damage to the interests and sovereignty of our Great Qing State. My military gate has been reported to Beijing, and if you don't get instructions from Beijing, your people will stay in the prisoner camp honestly. ”
However, the development of events was beyond the expectations of Donald and Davydovsky, and Zhang Zhongkui, the head of the Qing army, ruthlessly rejected the demands of the two. Davydovsky was so angry that he threatened and was directly expelled from Xinjiang by Zhang Zhongkui. This fiery scene made Donald instantly remember that when he came, the Governor General of India, Richard. The words of Lord Burke.
"You'll regret it! I promise—" Davydowsky's face flushed. Zhang Zhongkui directly expelled him from Xinjiang, which was a great shame for a Russian nobleman.
The Qing Empire was not the British Empire. There is no shame in being expelled from the country by the British Empire. Driven out of the country by a mid-level officer of an old and weak empire who had been repeatedly bullied by Russia, Davydovsky would have become the laughing joke of the entire Orenburg Governorate.
"I swear—"
"In the near future, I will make you kneel at my feet and beg for my forgiveness!"
Leaving a cruel word, Davydovsky left Kashgar with a wolf bèi.
Donald looked at Zhang Zhongkui's expression carefully. Whether it's Davydowski's team or Donald's team, there are translators who understand Chinese. Davydowsky's words were translated into Chinese without changing and reached Zhang Zhongkui's ears, but Zhang Zhongkui was disdainful and unmoved.
"Sir. The officers of this Qing army were proud. They are not afraid of any enemy! ”
Donald turned back to his lodgings, and the entourage said to him.
"Yes, proud." Donald took a deep breath. The real 'work' may only begin now. R1152
