Chapter 277: Outer Mongolia Chronicles (1)

The car passed through street after street, and soon came to the gate of the Governor's Palace.

At this time, although the number of cars in Anhui has reached the highest level in the country, but compared with later generations, it is still a lot less, plus in June last year, the Ministry of Communications issued the first traffic regulations under the instructions of Yan Shao, and the Ministry of Public Security has also divided many police officers to become traffic police, so although there are more and more cars, the traffic environment in the city is better than in the past...

"Vice-Chief, the place has arrived..."

After driving the car into the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the driver sitting in the driver's seat turned back to Zhang Ying, who was still thinking about something.

Hearing his words, Zhang Ying first froze for a moment, and then nodded. "Oh, okay," he said, pushing open the door and stepping out of the car.

At the main entrance of the Governor's Palace, a group of soldiers were standing straight in front of the gate, and their thick 11-style daily clothes looked very fitting.

At this time, at the main gate of the Governor's Mansion, Wu Qianqiu didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and when he saw Zhang Ying, he suddenly showed joy. "Vice Chief Zhang, you are here, and now I am waiting for you alone..."

Hearing Wu Qianqiu's words, Zhang Ying showed an apologetic smile on her face. "I'm sorry, I went to the barracks first, looked at the training of the garrison, and delayed a little..."

"Don't say so much, the meeting is about to start..."Just when Zhang Ying wanted to explain something more, Wu Qianqiu stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and dragged him into the Governor's Mansion.

There were still many people in the Governor's Mansion who were busy, and at this time they saw Wu Qianqiu and Zhang Ying. They all smiled and nodded.

After walking for about a few minutes, the two men came to the door of the conference room, and after pushing the door open. Two men walked in.

At this time, the conference room was already full of people, including Li Liang, Fu Xiuming and others, and almost all the upper echelons of the military government had arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Seeing that so many people were waiting for him, Zhang Ying said a little embarrassed.

"It's only 7 minutes..."Looking at the watch on his wrist, Yan Shao smiled indifferently. Alright, let's sit down first..."

"Good!" Seeing that Yan Shao and the others didn't care much. Zhang Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, and soon found a place of her own near the long table.

After Zhang Ying sat down, Yan Shao nodded. After coughing lightly, he looked at the group. "Then, since Vice Chief Zhang is here, we can also talk about business..."

After speaking, Yan Shao glanced at Katarina, who was sitting on his left side, and noticed Yan Shao's gaze. Caterina pulled a document from her side. After a slight glance, he raised his voice. "First of all, the first thing is worth being happy about, I believe everyone already knows that after nearly a year of hard work, the Beiyang side has finally solved the problem of rebellion in Outer Mongolia, so that we can breathe a sigh of relief..."

Speaking of this, Katarina's expression was much more relaxed, and everyone present also showed joy. Especially Li Liang, the joy on the face of the poor finance minister can be seen by almost everyone.

And no wonder they do. Because this counterinsurgency war really consumes too much time and too much material.

Since the rebels of Outer Mongolia declared independence in Kulen last year, although Yan Shao looked at Yuan Shikai very unpleasantly, and believed that the other party was the same, but based on the interests of the country and the nation, Yan Shao still chose to cooperate with Yuan Shikai, and the content of the cooperation was also very simple, that is, Yan Shao contributed money and Yuan Shikai contributed to completely solve the rebellion problem in Outer Mongolia.

In the beginning, this matter went very smoothly, and the Beiyang side first drew a regiment of troops from each of the two towns to form an infantry association, and then took on the task of quelling the rebellion in Outer Mongolia.

Those rebels originally dared to declare independence because they had the support of the Russians, and they didn't think that Beiyang would make any moves at this time, so after learning that Yan Shao was cooperating with Yuan Shikai, these rebels were quickly dumbfounded.

The first to react were some princes in Inner Mongolia, and compared with Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia is still relatively honest. And because the Russians did not have much power in Inner Mongolia at that time, a considerable number of Inner Mongolian princes had no interest in independence at all.

Although there were some Inner Mongolian princes who wanted to become independent and join the so-called 'Great Mongol Empire' after being seduced by the rebels, after the Beiyang infantry cooperated to go north to Inner Mongolia, these guys quickly changed their position, from the original vacillation to the adherence to the one-China policy...

Some of the princes of Inner Mongolia even tied up the envoys sent by Outer Mongolia and sent them to the commander of the infantry association.

After pushing all the way north, it was pushed directly to Saiyin Shanda, which is the first city in Outer Mongolia, and it is also a city that must be taken before arriving at Kulun, as long as you take this city, you can directly attack Kulenβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although this city only has a few hundred people, it is not as good as a larger village, and although he is the city before Kulun, it is also hundreds of kilometers away from Kulun...

Although the logistics line of thousands of kilometers is a bit of a headache, in the eyes of the people in Beiyang, it is only a matter of time to take Kulen and solve the problem of Outer Mongolia.

This is indeed the case, although there are thousands of rebels in Outer Mongolia, but they are all rabble, not to mention the elite troops like the six towns of Beiyang, if you fight face to face, I am afraid that even Yan Shao's National Socialist Armyβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” because there are too many revolutionary armies in China at this time, almost every province has a revolutionary army, so about a few months ago, the Anhui Revolutionary Army was officially renamed the National Socialist Army, so that it has its own unique name with the Beiyang Beiyang Army and the People's Army of the Alliance...

To get back to the point, although there are thousands of rebels in Outer Mongolia, they are all rabble, not to mention elite troops like the Six Towns of Beiyang, if you fight face to face, I'm afraid that even Yan Shao's National Social Army can easily clean up those guys...

The development after the incident was also as expected by the Beiyang side.

After a long journey of hundreds of kilometers, although really tired, the rebels occupying Kulen quickly fled from Kulen under the attack of the Beiyang Army.

At this point, the matter of Outer Mongolia was settled, and this time was June 1912.

Although it was the Outer Mongolian rebellion quelled by the Beiyang Army, Yan Shao was still very happy after learning the news, and even held a celebratory reception in the Governor's Mansion.

And Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Beijing, also celebrated with his subordinates.

This is not only because he has maintained the unity of the country, but also eliminated a threat to Beijing, and more importantly, through this incident, Yuan Shikai's prestige in China has also been greatly enhanced.

Because of this victory, there are many fewer people who oppose Yuan Shikai in China, and many people are more in favor of Yuan Shikai as the president.

Naturally, no one will forget Yan Shao's contributions, after all, if it weren't for Yan Shao's support of millions of yuan worth of materials behind him, even if Yuan Shikai could get together the money to send troops, the logistics line of thousands of kilometers would be enough to drag Beiyang down...

There are already many people in China who are encouraged by the cooperation between Anhui and Beiyang, and believe that if the two forces can continue to cooperate, then the country will become very good. There are even some people who think that after a hundred years of Yuan Shikai, Yan Shao, the third most powerful leader in the country, can completely succeed him in charge of the country...

In fact, this remark is still very marketable in China, especially after many people already know that Yan Shao is standing behind the French...

On the other hand, with the successful settlement of the Outer Mongolia issue, coupled with the fact that in order to solve the rebellion in Outer Mongolia, Anhui has indeed spared no effort, so Beiyang and the National Socialist Party have also entered a rare honeymoon period...

Within Beiyang, some soldiers who care about the country also recognize Yan Shao's behavior of putting national interests first, and these soldiers naturally include the very famous military theorist, Jiang Baili...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Isn't there such a saying in the afterlife, happy endings only belong to those unfinished stories.

Naturally, if this sentence is placed here, it is somewhat not too close. But it is true, at a time when the whole country is rejoicing in the problems of Outer Mongolia, they do not know that they are rejoicing too soon...

In the process of counterinsurgency, although Beiyang successfully occupied Kulen, the rebels led by the living Buddha Jebtsundamba had fled from Kulen surrounded by the remnants of the rebels before Kulen was captured, and their destination was the captured cities of Uriya Sutai and Kobdo...

Although the rebels have already fled, from the perspective of others, since even Kulen has been captured, these 'jumping clowns' will not be able to jump for long, and as long as the soldiers of Beiyang work hard, they can naturally completely annihilate such rebels...

The question is...

Uriya Sutai and Kobdo are not ordinary far from Kulen...

If you really want to lay down these two places, then the logistics line will not be ordinarily long...

Let's put it this way...

If it is about more than 1,000 kilometers from Beijing to Kulun, then there is still a distance of more than 700 kilometers from Kulen to Uriya Sutai, and there is also a distance of more than 300 kilometers from Uriya Sutai to Kobdo...

In other words, there is still a long distance of thousands of kilometers from Kulen to Kobdo, just like from Beijing to Kulen...

And from Beijing to Kulun, plus from Kulen to Kobdo, that's more than 2,000 kilometers ... (To be continued......)
