There is a market town at the southern foot of Chagan Lake, where the palace of the prince of Chagan Right Banner is located. The town is inhabited by a small number of Han Chinese, mainly engaged in business, and most of the Mongols living in the town, except for the lamas in the temples, are almost all the people of the prince of Chagan. The prince of Chagan is a small prince among the many tribes in Mongolia, and the Shili range is only a few hundred square kilometers. The Qing court called on the nobles to send troops, and the prince of Chagan listened to the order and let his son lead his people to the battle.

Except for the royal guards, the Mongolian princes usually do not raise troops. Since ancient times, Mongolian herdsmen have been warriors on horses and herdsmen when they dismounted. Therefore, the son of the prince of Chagan** led his people to the battle, and the basic equipment of thousands of men and horses was swords, and almost no rifles were equipped. Frankly, it was impossible for the Qing court to supply the Mongols with rifles, and even in times of war, the Qing court was often wary of the Mongols. There are more than a dozen rifles in the royal palace guard of the prince of Chagan, most of which are old-fashioned rifles eliminated by the Qing army.

Although the Qing court reorganized the Mongol cavalry and gave it a number. However, they were still divided according to their respective shili, and were given military ranks and ranks according to the number of troops sent. After the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the steppe, the Qing court ordered the Mongol cavalry to withdraw to the steppe and assist the Xhosako cavalry in fighting against the Northern Expeditionary Army. On this day, the princess went out without permission and did not return, and the Chagan palace fell into chaos, and the princess was angry with the servants in the palace for the disappearance of the princess. At this time the servants were on their knees, and the prince was roaring with all his might.

Outside, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a captain of the royal guard entered in dust. "Lord Wang, we have searched for hundreds of kilometers, but we have found no trace of the princess." "Keep looking for me, don't come back to see me if you can't find the princess," the prince of Chagan scolded loudly. "Yes! The slave could not find the princess and would never come back. "The captain of the royal guard is gone. The prince of Chagan was still angry, and began to be angry with the palace steward.

Early the next morning, dozens of war horses stopped in front of the palace, and the majestic ** prince jumped off the war horse. ** The face is black and red, with curly hair, high cheekbones, and the characteristics of the race are distinctive. At this time, he hurried into the palace with his somewhat bent legs. Seeing the servants kneeling on the ground all over the courtyard, all of them were depressed, and he knew that his sister was still not missing.

"Abba, isn't there any news from the beautiful Kikige?" As soon as they met, they didn't have time to greet the gift, so they asked urgently. "You're back, the royal guards have searched for a hundred miles and there is no trace, and now they have gone out to search and haven't come back! I think it's more bad than lucky. "The prince of Chagan looked depressed." I'm afraid that the beautiful Kikige will suffer, please bless our princess in the Immortal Heaven! Eniang's red and swollen eyes began to cry again. Seeing E-Niang choked up, she comforted: "E-Niang, my sister has always been naughty, it's okay." ”

There was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and after a while, I saw the captain of the palace guard crawling in and said, "Lord, the princess has some news." When they heard this, they immediately stood up. Where is the princess? The prince asked urgently. Lord Wang, my people encountered the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army near Guiquan in the west. And inform that the princess is currently in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and this is a letter from the princess to you. The prince immediately took the letter and checked it, and his face immediately turned pale and sat on the chair.

** After taking the letter and reading it, he wondered: "The beautiful Qiqige was raped by the Russian cavalry, and then rescued by the Northern Expeditionary Army, could this be a conspiracy played by the Northern Expeditionary Army?" "The Russian cavalry is like beasts, they often harass the people's daughters, and it has long been known to women and children that princesses will not lie." E-niang's face turned pale with anger. The prince said weakly: "Even if this is the truth, we have no choice, immediately let the housekeeper go to Hohhot, take the princess back, and everything will be revealed." ”

In the single room of the Hohhot Field Hospital, after a few days of recuperation, the beautiful Qiqige seemed to recover. Na Rihua may be the reason for the servant, her physical fitness is good, she recovers quickly, and she has begun to serve the princess. "Princess, if the prince and Eniang know that you have suffered this catastrophe, I don't know what the rush will be, I heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army has informed the prince, and we will go home soon." Na Rihua muttered quietly.

"I'm not going back, I don't have the face to go back. The Northern Expeditionary Army is a righteous army, I want to join the Northern Expeditionary Army, I want revenge! Beautiful Kikige said decisively. Na Rihua's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Princess, the prince will not agree, and besides, the Northern Expeditionary Army will not take us in." Don't forget, the prince is leading his troops to fight the Northern Expeditionary Army! "I'm already in tatters, it's better to live than to die, you have to be willing to go back and go back yourself!" My mind has been determined to say how useless it is. The beautiful Kikige resolutely made up her mind.

This kung fu Deng Xiuhua and the translator walked in, and the beautiful Qiqige hurriedly got up from the bed. In the past few days, Deng Xiuhua is like a big sister who takes good care of the beautiful Qiqige, maybe it is easy for women to communicate together, and she also regards Deng Xiuhua as a big sister. "And voila! Our princess looks much better. Good news for you, your home has come and you'll be coming home soon! Deng Xiuhua said with a smile.

"Sister Benefactor, it was the Northern Expeditionary Army that saved us, you don't discriminate against me, treat me like a relative, I want to join the Northern Expeditionary Army, I want to take revenge!" The beautiful Qiqi grabbed Deng Xiuhua's hand and begged, her expression was very urgent. Deng Xiuhua persuaded her for a long time, but the beautiful Qiqige was still stubborn, and threatened to commit suicide if she did not agree to join the Northern Expeditionary Army. The problem was serious, and Deng Xiuhua hurriedly went to find He Meng.

"Join the Northern Expeditionary Army? haha！ Great, I can't ask for it! He Meng agreed without hesitation after listening to his wife's story. Do you want to take advantage of the princess? Is it too mean. Deng Xiuhua frowned. Do not deny the use! But this is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy, and I announce that I will approve the beautiful Qiqige to participate in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and she will be placed in your field hospital. "What if the prince of Chagan doesn't agree?" "This is the princess's own decision, what does it have to do with us, don't worry, through the princess, we have to make friends with the prince of Chagan, how can we let go of such an opportunity." He Meng said confidently.

A few days later, outside Hohhot, He Meng and his wife, Lei Zhensheng and others saw off the palace housekeeper who had no choice but to return. For the stubborn princess, the palace housekeeper has no problem. At this time, the beautiful Qiqige and Na Rihua were dressed in military costumes and heroic, like mare's milk flowers on the grassland, restoring their former beauty. He Meng clasped his hands into fists and said to the housekeeper: "Please tell the prince of Chagan, we assure Changshengtian that the princess is safe and sound in the Northern Expeditionary Army." At the same time, he told the prince that the Northern Expeditionary Army sincerely wanted to make friends. At the same time, please tell the prince of **, He Meng, commander-in-chief of the grassland column of the Northern Expeditionary Army, to greet him, and invite him to be a guest at a convenient time. The Northern Expeditionary Army regarded the Mongols as friends at all times, and the enemies of the Northern Expeditionary Army were the Manchu court and all the bandits who set foot on this sacred land. "The butler is the only one. Then the steward of the palace went away with a large number of gifts.

Chagan Wangfu, the prince listened to the butler's report with wide eyes: "Is what you said true?" The housekeeper said: "What happened to the princess was told by the princess herself, and she volunteered to participate in the Northern Expeditionary Army. The princess said that she would not come back, and the slave was incompetent to ask the prince to punish her. "Damn, the Russian cavalry is a beast, I'll go find their commander ethics! Those villains must be severely punished," ** was indignant, turned around and left. "Wait!" The prince stopped. "Those Russian soldiers must be punished severely! Can't let them go? "**Roar.

Wang Ye said: "The Russian army is so powerful that we can't afford to provoke it, and besides, we don't have any evidence to prove that it was done by the Russian cavalry, what if we don't admit it?" Why don't you ask your sister to come back and identify you? "** stomped his foot angrily." Lord, this time I went to Hohhot, and saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was strict in discipline and respected the Mongols very much, which is also the reason why the princess was willing to stay. Someone come, bring up the gifts from the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”

"Lord Wang, this is a gift from Commander-in-Chief He of the Northern Expeditionary Army." First of all, I took a small wooden box, opened it and saw that it contained two shiny revolvers and 200 rounds of ammunition. Then gifts were constantly brought in, including high-end luxury goods such as mirrors and soaps, as well as sugar, tea, and silk from the south. When everyone saw so many gifts, they came up to watch, and the honest Mongols saw this scene, and their intimacy with the Northern Expeditionary Army spontaneously arose.

In the house, the prince and the father and son discussed. Balr said while excitedly playing with the revolver: "It may be a good thing that the beautiful Kikige was accidentally rescued and taken in by the Northern Expeditionary Army. At present, the Manchu court is dying, and the Russians are unreliable in their wolf ambitions. The Guangzhou junta is growing stronger, and we must have a way out. Abba, I would like to take a trip to Hohhot to find out what the attitude of the Guangzhou military government towards the Mongolian steppe is. ”

The prince pondered for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, the Russians are unreliable. At present, the upper echelons of the aristocracy are bent on the Russians, and that is to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers. You go to Hohhot and test the tone of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the pretext of seeing your sister. It was simply unrealistic for the upper echelons of the aristocracy to try to make Mongolia independent, and once the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the Russians, the Mongolian steppe would be bloody again, and the Mongols would face the danger of extinction. "The prince of Chagan has seen far away.

There are friends from afar who are very happy, He Meng personally greeted the ** party in civilian clothes, and He Meng was very polite at the reception, repeatedly emphasizing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was a friend of the Mongols, and did not say anything else. Zuihou He Meng sincerely retained ** to live in Hohhot for a few days, take a walk and take a look, and personally feel the changes in Hohhot under the occupation of the Northern Expeditionary Army. That night, the brother and sister talked together, and when they saw the radiant face of the beautiful Kikige, they felt that their sister had changed a lot.

"Beautiful Kikige, how are you doing in the Northern Expeditionary Army? You look beautiful in this military uniform. ** asked with concern. Beautiful Qiqige said: "Brother, you don't know, the Northern Expeditionary Army is fine, they treat the Mongols like a family. Na Rihua and I are now nurses in the field hospital, and we are like sisters. Did you know that our dean is Commander He's wife? "The commander's wife, who is also a soldier?" **Slightly surprised.

"What's this, our dean is beautiful, and he can see a doctor, he usually looks like a big sister, I don't believe you ask Na Rihua." Beautiful Kikige pouted. "Yes, Prince, the dean is also a beautiful and kind person, she usually treats the princess and me like relatives, we all call her eldest sister," Na Rihua, who was standing on the sidelines, replied carefully. **Seeing that Na Rihua, who was also wearing a military uniform, seemed to have changed more, and the cautious demeanor in the past was gone, and I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The next day, the beautiful Kikige personally accompanied her brother to browse the streets. The beautiful Kikigo chattered endlessly on the road, and the things depicted through her perspective were so novel. There were many Mongols on the streets, and they all had a calm look on their faces, and they did not look panicked by the occupation of this place by the Northern Expeditionary Army. "Brother! Do you know? The Northern Expeditionary Army never harassed or persecuted the Mongols, they bought and sold fairly, and the military discipline was strict, and many escaped princes in the west secretly contacted the Northern Expeditionary Army to come back. Beautiful Kikige recounted as she walked.

**Hearing that the princes in the west were secretly dealing with the Northern Expeditionary Army, I couldn't help but be shocked. The siblings came to a trading market, and there was a sign in front of the market that read the rules of fair trade written in Mongolian and Chinese script. ** Stopping to take a closer look at the trading scene, I found that all the rules were to protect the interests of the Mongols, and my heart was once again shocked. The Mongols who came to trade were basically bartering, and the goods they brought were very simple, except for sheepskins, wool, cowhides, and a small amount of wolf skins.

** Carefully observe the trading situation, the Han people brought quite a wealth of goods, grain, tea, cloth, matches, salt, cane sugar, etc. A sheepskin exchange item is affordable, which has never been done before in previous trades. ** I couldn't help but ask the Mongols who came to trade, and they praised the Northern Expeditionary Army as a Han army that they had never seen before, and they believed in the Northern Expeditionary Army and were willing to be friends with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At noon, the siblings dined in a restaurant with many high-class Mongols. ** Somewhat puzzled asked: "Sister, I heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Hohhot, and the nobles ran away, and the people here are obviously rich Mongols, what's going on." Beautiful Qiqige smiled: "The nobles ran away, and after the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Hohhot, they protected their property and did not move a penny." Later, these nobles learned about the situation and came back one after another, and heard that many escaped princes sent people back to investigate, and saw that there was no change in their palace, and they all secretly contacted the Northern Expeditionary Army to come back. Brother! The Northern Expeditionary Army is a civilized division, don't give your life to the Qing court anymore, join the Northern Expeditionary Army! ”

Two days later, He Meng invited ** again, and He Meng smiled at the banquet: "**General, how do you feel these two days?" ** said with deep feelings: "It is true that the Northern Expeditionary Army is a civilized army. Commander-in-Chief He, I would like to know what the Guangzhou Military Government will do to the Mongolian steppe in the future! He Meng's face became serious and said: "We have learned that the Mongolian upper echelons colluded with the Russians to try to establish the so-called Great Mongolian State. This is a very stupid move. ”

**I was slightly surprised to hear that even the Qing court didn't know about the secret agreement with the Russians, but the Northern Expeditionary Army actually knew so much about it. He Meng continued: "What I said about the stupidity of the Mongolian upper class is based on their rather superficial judgment of the situation. **General, I can tell you that the Qing court is no longer regarded as an opponent, and all our strategies are aimed at foreigners. Taking a step back, even if the Russians succeeded, do you think the greedy Russians would let you establish the so-called Great Mongolia? Do not forget how the Mongol homeland in the north was swallowed. ”

He Meng said sonorously: "**General, we will definitely drive the foreigners out of the country, and not only that, but we will also take back the land lost by the Manchu Dynasty." The strategy of the Canton junta towards the Mongolian steppes was to establish an autonomous government and let the Mongols administer the Mongols, but only under the jurisdiction of the central government. **General, the Chinese nation is a big family, blood is thicker than water, and other ethnic minorities such as Han and Mongolian are brothers and sisters living in this land. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to say that the thinking of the Mongolian aristocracy is to disregard the lives ・・・・・・and property of the vast number of Mongolians. ”

** Strongly shocked, after careful consideration, Zuihou decided to defect to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
