The staff officer was surprised and asked, "What?" Don't kill! These bandits are so wicked, won't we kill them? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's not that you don't kill, but you can't kill like this, do you think, you will get a group of people to the downtown tomorrow, and then shoot them, the people know who you shot?" We must make sufficient preparations before the shooting, at least have a public trial, and after the public trial, we must show it for at least a few days. ”

The staff officer replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Lin Yuan said: "You go to find those people in the business tomorrow, there must be people among them who know those horse bandits, and when the time comes, let them come out to testify, won't the common people understand?" ”

The staff officer agreed, went back to prepare, and after a while, the soldiers outside the city captured the leaders of the horse bandits, and the battle of the night was over, all the leaders of the horse bandits were captured, and most of the minions were eliminated, but it was inevitable that there were some fish that slipped through the net, and Lin Yuan didn't care about them, after all, their numbers were too small to become any climate, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to catch them with all their might, which was really worth the loss.

The next day, on October 13th, the General Staff was contacting the merchants to prepare for the public trial, Lin Yuan wanted to talk about the reform to the Mongolian princes and the people of the monastery, but after thinking about it, he should still dry them for a few more days, especially Zhebuzun Danba, what he scared him yesterday must have worked, so wait a few more days, let the fear spread in his heart for a while, and then I don't worry that he will not support me.

Lin Yuan thought about it, only to find that there was nothing to do today, and when he was thinking about what to do, suddenly a message came from the defenders of Bucha City on the communicator: Sanduo, the minister of the Qing court in Kulun, is on his way back to Kulun, and he has reached Bucha City today, and it is expected to arrive in Kulun in three days.

Lin Yuan was surprised when he saw the news, and thought, "Sanduo? Why did he pop up out of nowhere? I didn't see anyone from the Qing court on the way to Kulun. Lin Yuan hurriedly called a prince from the original Mongolian high-level over and asked him, "Didn't you expel Sanduo after you declared independence?" Which way did he go? ”

The prince replied, "He is on a more secluded trade route to the east. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "No wonder I didn't meet them, it turned out that they took a trade route with fewer people, it seems that they also know that it is a shame for Lu Dao to be expelled from Lu by others, but what are they doing now in Kulun?" ”

Lin Yuan stood up while thinking and paced in the courtyard, at this moment, suddenly a soldier sent a telegram to Lin Yuan, saying that it was an urgent telegram from Emperor Guangxu, Lin Yuan opened it and saw that the content of the telegram turned out to be that Lin Yuan was asking Lin Yuan to withdraw his troops and hand over the military and political power of Mongolia to the original minister in Mongolia, Sanduo!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel angry when he saw the telegram, and thought to himself: "We stabilized the situation in Mongolia, and the Qing court actually let Sanduo take over the military and political power. ”

Lin Yuan quickly calmed down his anger and thought: "I still have to carry out reforms in Mongolia, the reform will definitely abolish the privileges of the original corrupt officials in the Qing court, if Sanduo comes back, I will definitely have another constraint when reforming, no, I must not let Sanduo come to Kulun!" ”

Lin Yuan thought silently: "Is there any way to get him back to Beijing?" Just clean him up so that he doesn't dare to come to Kulun, but if he cleans him up by himself, isn't it obvious that he wants to turn against the Qing court! When he was in distress, his eyes fell on the guard's uniform, which immediately gave Lin Yuan inspiration, Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "The horse bandits got our military uniforms, and then pretended to be us, this matter is well known, I can clean up more than three and put the responsibility on the horse bandits!" ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh wickedly when he thought of this, called the telegraph operator over, and said, "I'm going to call back to Beijing: the Holy Lord is personally enlightened, the situation in Kulun has been decided, and Yu Gong welcomes the arrival of more than three adults, and the vacant position is waiting!" Lin Yuan, October 13, 1896 in the Gregorian calendar. ”

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, the telegraph operator did not leave, but whispered to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, I have something I want to say to you, but I am a lowly official and dare not say it." ”

Lin Yuanha smiled and said, "There are not so many rules in front of me, so it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." ”

The telegraph operator said: "We worked hard to hit Kulen, and drove the ** son away, the people of the Qing court did not have any strength, and now they shamelessly sent people to take over Kulen, you say, how can there be such a truth in the world, and most of the officials of the Qing court are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let them take over Mongolia, and the Mongolian people will suffer again." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Ben Shuai has his own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it, hurry up and go back to send a telegram." The telegraph operator heard Lin Yuan say this, nodded and left, and as soon as he left, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Since I want to pretend to be a horse bandit to fight Sanduo, then I will ride a horse, if I drive a tank, I will be exposed at once, and I have to find a reliable person for this matter, otherwise if this matter is exposed, it will be torn with the Qing court." ”

Lin Yuan thought about it again and again, and decided to find Zaheer to go with him, before looking for Zaheer, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I have to determine how many people are in Sanduo's guards first, and then I can determine how many people I can bring." So Lin Yuan contacted his subordinates in Buha and asked, "How many guards are there in Sanduo, and how is the equipment?" ”

The subordinate replied: "Sanduo's guards originally had thousands of people, but because of the Mongol rebellion, most of them were seized, and now there are less than a hundred of Sanduo's men, and the equipment is good, the original good guns have been left behind by the Mongol rebels, and now the rest are big swords." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In this case, it is enough for me to bring a dozen people." Lin Yuan then went to find Zaheer, and instead of directly talking about his own affairs, he asked, "Zaheer, what do you think of the officials of the Qing court compared to me?" ”

Zaheer Ha Lang laughed and said: "Lin Shuai, you are really joking, how can this be compared, you are the Condor soaring in the blue sky, and they are not even as good as the insects that push the dung ball!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Then now that there are officials in the Qing court who want to seize my power, what will you do?" ”

Zaheer's smile suddenly dispersed when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Lin Shuai, I have a feeling that you are the savior of the poor people in Mongolia, if the Qing court officials dare to seize your power, I will go and slaughter him, Lin Shuai, don't worry, I am not a person in your army, even if they catch me, they will not affect you!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, someone is going to take my power now, I want you to help me......"

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to finish speaking, Zaheer knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Die for Lin Shuai!" After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "It's 'never give up again', it seems that this big old man can't say anything else." Lin Yuan helped him up and said with a smile: "You go to find ten cavalrymen, remember, you must find your most reliable brother, the kind of brother who will not betray his own people if he is killed!" Let's do it together! ”

Zaheer stood up, patted his chest and said, "Lin Shuai, please rest assured, my Zaheer's brothers are all such people. Soon Zaheer found ten big men, and Lin Yuan said, "Bring a day's worth of food and water, and three horses per person, and we will set off now." ”
