Chapter 201: Zuo Zongtang Coordinates the Overall Situation (2)

At the end of June 1877, the British government learned of the war in southern Xinjiang and immediately sent a note to Guo Songtao, the minister of the Qing Dynasty in the United Kingdom, declaring that the British government would do its best to prevent the Qing army from advancing into the western Xinjiang.

Guo Songtao was very afraid of the people's faces, and quickly said: marching into Xinjiang, the poor soldiers are spending; That is, donate a number of cities of land to the Kokand people to establish a country for their own survival, and our country can use its strength to survey the western frontier, which seems to be the best of both worlds, and our country should take the opportunity of the British mediation to formulate a charter, as a plan to protect the territory and rest the army.

The two palaces followed, and the quick message: Guo Songtao played, the British note mediated the Kashgar affairs, and it was rumored that Aguba was sick and died, and the pieces were folded, and it was said that the British Delby, repeatedly sent Wei Tuma, for the Kashgar to mediate the note of the three articles of the statute, which was intended to support. I also heard that Aguba was sick and died in the Gulal place.

The various stanzas played by the squire have not yet been known to have succeeded in military affairs on the South Xinjiang Road. Zuo Zongtang played Guo Songtao, observed the situation, and handled it at his discretion. One piece of the original folding sheet, copy it for reading. Tell about this five-hundred-mile edict.

Zong Tang received the order, his eyes were split, and he immediately sent a letter to the Prime Minister Yamen: Guo Songtao is a puppet, and the devil is a disaster for the country! The people of Kokand are not without a foothold, so why should they treat the British as a founding country? That is, if you want to be a country, then you will cut off the British land with it, or cut India with it, why ask me to take the land to the city? The rebel Agu Bai has taken poison and killed himself, the army is driving westward, and the momentum of breaking the bamboo has been achieved, and he can't stop it!

Guo Songtao opened his mouth, Zong Tang's anger was difficult to quench, and he quickly said: In order to comply with the order and coordinate the overall situation, I would like to put all my foolish concerns within my reach, and tell the truth directly, and pray for the holy things.

On May 24, the thief issued an edict: After the military situation outside the Guanxi is going smoothly, and after the recovery of Turpan and other places, the gateway of the eight southern cities will be opened. But the plan is out of everything, and things must last a long time.

Turpan is a key pass on the southern road, and in addition, cities such as Aksu and other places, is there still a situation to rely on? Is it acceptable for Chief Wei to report that Agu Bai was bound to sacrifice Bai Yanhu and return to the Southern Eight Cities?

Kashgar rebelled against his head and depended on his tribe, and it was especially easy to grow branches. Ili has been in turmoil for many years, and this time if it can be planned as a whole and done in one go, it will be beneficial to the overall situation.

The minister is the chief teacher, and he thinks that he will destroy this morning food, and how to forge ahead, how to arrange, forgive me and be confident as soon as possible, and relieve the worries of the imperial court. It not only coordinates the overall situation, but also expresses what he sees directly, and hears it quickly to comfort the system.

In addition to kneeling and reciting, I admired my emperor's favor in suits, and his holy thoughts were far-reaching.

Stealing only the establishment of the country is a frontier, ancient and modern, the scale exists in the construction, and the construction depends on the situation. It must be coordinated at the right time and place, so that it can be weighted and constructed.

Since ancient times, China's border troubles, the northwest has been constantly dramatizing in the southeast. The southeast of the cover is bounded by the sea, the shape is forbidden, and it is still easy to work; The northwest is vast and vast, relying on the strength of the army, the small number of soldiers solidifies the heart, and the large number of soldiers consumes the country. In order to prevent words, there is no boat to save the trouble of feeding, but if the dangers of the southeast can be relied on, it is easier to gather things.

Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the Han and Tang dynasties have been able to get the middle policy and their decline, and they have donated them to the side, and the country has been weakened. The traces of the past generations can be repeated! Gu Zuyu is the most famous in geoscience, and his discussion of the situation of public opinion regards the place where the capital of the dynasties was built as important.

I Ding Ding Yandu, Mongolia sanitation north, more than 100 years without the beacon police, not the so-called nine sides of the previous generation into the hinterland, that is, from Kobdo, Uriya Sutai to Zhangjiakou, also divided into Tun Columns, rebuke the trench Yaotong, and then Gidian Yanran. The ancestors of Gai leveled the quasi-department, and also set the department, opened Xinjiang, and established the military government. It is the one who values Xinjiang so he protects Mongolia, and the one who protects Mongolia so he guards Beijing.

If Xinjiang is not solid, then Mongolia is uneasy, and the bandits in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shanxi are invaded from time to time, and they cannot be prevented, that is, Guanshan in the north, and there will be no day of sleep.

The Russians are expanding their territory from west to east, connecting with our northern border, and only the central part is covered by the Mongolian department.

Gaozu pacified Xinjiang, expanded the land of 10,000 miles, and for a while the ministers of the state could not be free of doubts about the consumption of Chinese affairs and Western affairs, and those who were firm and unshakable in the holy will pushed the barren soil of the old war, and placed the new area, the border army was still the same, and the salary was not added, and the territory was increased and consolidated, which could be calculated for a long time.

Fangjin North Road has been restored to Urumu, Ili has not been recovered, South Road has been restored to Turpan, only Bai Yanhu led the rest of the party to steal the west bank of the Kaidu River, Kashgar still has a rebel deserter; In addition, in each city, they will go to the tiger's mouth, such as throwing themselves into the arms of a loving mother, and there is no more anti-face.

In the new autumn, the surplus grain perches on the acres, and the drum travels westward, announcing the prestige of the imperial court, and suppressing and soothing, there is no difficulty in deeding the old territory, and it is also subordinate to the party.

In addition, such as the Kokand and Burute tribes, they are outside of Qiu Suo, and they can listen to their hometowns. The British are the speakers of the Kokand people, and they are worried that Russia will encroach on their land, and it will be disadvantageous to the British, and the Russian side will fight for Turkey and hold on to the British; Our side regained the old frontier, the soldiers moved with righteousness, there were unexpected disputes, and I spoke up righteously, and I did not give in.

To the whole territory of western Xinjiang, to say that the water and grass are abundant, the livestock are abundant, in addition to Ili on the north road, the ancient city of Qitai, Jimusa to Urumqi, Changji, Suilai and other places, since the rebellion, Han Wei died and lost his exile, and the land was barren. Near the ancient city of Weiqitai, the merchants of Jimusa, the scattered people, and the indigenous people gathered to reclaim, and the harvest was very rich. The officers and soldiers charged a high price, which was enough to save the feet; If the manager is appropriate, there is hope for the recovery of the place.

Everywhere on the South Road, with Turpan as the district, the eight cities except for the Karasar belong to the land is more barren, although the rest is not as extensive as the North Road, and the fertile or excessive. The officers and troops have recovered Urumqi and Turpan, and although there are garrisons, less than one-third of the land they have gained. If the whole territory is recovered, the people can be painted, the military food can be collected and transported on the spot, and the salary can be obtained nearby, so that it will not be as troubled as the previous time.

It is only foolish, but the place cannot be abandoned, the army cannot be stopped, and the salary is scarce, and the plan is not to recover quickly, there is no way to start, and the situation is compelled, and he does not dare to be angry.

To save money and labor, draw a long-term peace and long-term governance strategy for Xinjiang, and relieve the worries of the imperial court, then set up provinces to change counties and counties, and there is no last resort. In the early years of Xianfeng, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang were fully divided, as well as Xinjiang's levies, salaries, salaries, and military needs, and the files of the military system, which were sent to Suzhou by the post office, and the ministers had to examine the old chapters, and consider the profits and losses according to the current situation, so as to make a long-term plan and make a decision.

In accordance with the decree, the overall situation is coordinated, what is seen directly, according to the humble opinion, the secret Chen, the Queen Mother, the Emperor's holy book, and the implementation of the instructions. Sincerely.
