Chapter 416: Twenty-one Marching into the Great Northwest


A chuckle appeared on Qiao Zhiqing's face, and he waved his hand to let Zhang Laohan get up and speak first.Constantly pondering the words in Zhang Laohan's mouth, he suddenly found that he seemed to be carried away by national hatred, but he didn't realize that in fact, the people in the lower classes were the same.No matter which ruler rules, he only wants a peaceful life.Wei Ziyou also got up obediently and helped Zhang Laohan to sit down at the table.Zhang Laohan still couldn't calm down, and he risked his life to tell Qiao Zhiqing his identity today, and he didn't know what Qiao Zhiqing would do with him."

Brother Zhang, thank you for your hospitality today.I will think about what you say, I still have something to do, so I will say goodbye" Qiao Zhiqing didn't say anything, got up and went downstairs and went out.Wei Ziyou said hello to Zhang Laohan sweetly, and followed Qiao Zhiqing downstairs.Zhang Laohan broke out in a cold sweat, saying that the Son of Heaven was moody, and he always regarded Qiao Zhiqing as the Son of Heaven in his heart.Just now, he was afraid that Qiao Zhiqing would be unhappy and bury his entire family.Qiao Zhiqing only stayed in Suzhou for one day, and the next day he hurriedly inspected the construction of Shanghai, and then returned to Nanjing with Wei Ziyou.At this time, although the military was in a hostile state with the foreigners, it did not affect the commercial exchanges.As an important treaty port, Shanghai plays an unparalleled role.After two or three years of development, the original small county town of Shanghai has been completely merged with the original foreign concession.The office of the municipal government was located in the building of the Board of Directors in the former Public Concession.The whole of Shanghai looks vibrant, with European-style buildings rising from the ground and wide asphalt roads being built one after another, and it has vaguely become the wealth center of Jiangnan.A number of foreign firms have returned to Shanghai in search of opportunities to cooperate with the growing East Asian empire.Zhang Laohan's words touched Qiao Zhiqing a lot, and it was the first time he heard the views of an ordinary Hui person on the Hui and Han ethnic groups.If the Xinjiang issue is not properly handled, the Tibetans, Manchus, and Mongolians will not be able to solve it in the future.If Xinjiang is really cleared of foreign races, then when it marches into other places in the future, it will inevitably continue to resist desperately from all ethnic groups.Doing so will inevitably increase the cost of unification of the whole world, and the government's finances will collapse before the country can complete its reunification."

Ziyou, how do you say that the problem of Xinjiang should be solved, whether to kill all the aliens, or to keep them" As soon as the two returned to the study, after Qiao Zhiqing sat down at the desk, he picked up his pen and read the military report sent from the front, still thinking about this problem in his mind."

Brother Qiao, in fact, it is not necessary to use force to destroy a nation.According to my understanding, a nation is actually a culture.There are so many ethnic groups in history, but only our Han nationality has inherited it all the way, relying on the inheritance and assimilation of culture.Whether it is conquered by a foreign race, or conquered a foreign race.Eventually, they will be assimilated by our culture and become Han Chinese like us.We just need to destroy their culture and let them practice the culture of the Han people, so that gradually they will be no different from the Han people.As a recent example, the Manchus are like that now.You say that they are Manchus, but let a Manchu come out at random, he speaks Chinese, learns Chinese, and even his living habits are from our Han nationality.Which Manchu people still write their words and say their Manchu language, then you say, whether they are Manchu or Han" Wei Ziyou sat on the couch and said to Qiao Zhiqing patiently with a serious expression."

Yes, I see you're getting better."

Qiao Zhiqing looked at this girl happily, and was very happy that she had her own set of opinions."

Everywhere, I learned it from the president."

Wei Ziyou touched his head and smiled playfully."

That's a good idea, but the Manchus are different from other ethnic groups in Xinjiang.The Manchus do not have their own independent culture, but all ethnic groups in Xinjiang believe in Islam and have a complete Islamic culture.It is easy to assimilate the Manchus, but it is very difficult for these alien races in Xinjiang" Qiao Zhiqing sighed with emotion, and ordered Wei Ziyou to go out and think alone in the study for a day.The next day, Qiao Zhiqing drew up a military report on the solution of the Xinjiang issue, and asked Wei Ziyou to send it to Wang Shijie in Shanxi in an expedited manner for 800 miles.The treatment of Xinjiang in the military newspaper is divided into two stages, the first stage is mainly aimed at the resistance forces in Xinjiang, and the second stage is the issue of changing religious beliefs in Xinjiang.Qiao Zhiqing did not want Islam to spread in various parts of China, and after the military newspaper was issued, he issued an order prohibiting any Islamic activities in the area ruled by the Huaxing Army.All existing mosques were to be torn down and all books on Islam were to be confiscated and burned.If anyone does not obey the order and intends to resist, they will all be killed.Qiao Zhiqing left them a way to live, people can stay, but culture must be eliminated.The teachings of Islam are too aggressive, believing that only Allah can save mankind, and even sacrificing their own lives for the sake of teachings.This doctrine is most susceptible to the instigation of religious leaders, who turn their followers into bloodthirsty warriors.In the era in which Qiao Zhiqing lived, the more Islamic civilization gathered, the more it was full of violence and terror.Compared to Islam, the teachings of Buddhism are more modest.Qiao Zhiqing's move was also a gesture of goodwill to the Tibetan peace with the Panchen Lama, and he had already sent someone to Tibet to send a credential of state.As long as they are willing to submit to the leadership of the new China, the new China is willing to peacefully resolve the Tibet issue and can allow them to preach in Xinjiang.During the Qing Dynasty, the policy of ministers stationed in Tibet was implemented, representing the central government and supervising local affairs in Tibet.The scope of his powers includes the appointment and dismissal of senior monks and secular officials, the auditing of financial revenues and expenditures, the command of local armies, the handling of foreign-related affairs, and the supervision of judicial, household registration, and errand service.In addition, he is also responsible for supervising matters related to the casting of lots in golden vases for the reincarnations of lamas, Panchens and other living Buddhas, the casting of spiritual children, and the enthronement ceremonies.However, after the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty's ministers stationed in Tibet were either mediocre and incompetent, or frustrated and degraded.To some extent, it can even be said that the Qing court used Tibet as a place to send convicted officials to atone for their crimes.These ministers who were stationed in Tibet often arrived in Tibet after taking up their posts.Most of them only have the title of a minister, and they are unwilling to do things in a real way, and their only hope is to return to the capital as soon as possible after the expiration of their term of office.As a result, the prestige of the minister stationed in Tibet in Tibetan society has gradually been lost.What is even more serious is that some officials stationed in Tibet have embezzled and accepted bribes, sold their short beard, and sold fish and meat to the Tibetan people, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Tibetan people.Later, the Tibetan masses could not bear the demands of the officials stationed in Tibet who "needed to ask for supplies" and besieged the Yamen of the minister stationed in Tibet.Later, with the Taiping Rebellion's attack on the Qing court, the Qing court completely lost its actual control over Tibet.In 1855, when Nepal invaded Ali in Tibet, the Tibetans resolutely resisted.At that time, the Qing government was concentrating on suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was unable to increase troops in Tibet to resist foreign aggression.Therefore, the Qing Dynasty was anxious to settle the situation and end the war, so it ordered the minister stationed in Tibet to mediate and negotiate peace with the Nepalese side.In 1856, under the mediation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Tibet, Hethe, Nepal and the Tibetans, who had not won or lost in the war, signed the Ten Articles of the Tibet-Nepal Treaty.After the signing of this treaty, Tibet was disillusioned with the Qing government, and in fact became semi-independent, but continued to belong to the Qing court in name.After Qiao Zhiqing took the southwest, he began to plan to solve the Tibetan problem.At present, Tibet is still in the stage of feudal serfdom, and the exploitation and oppression suffered by serfs is much more serious than that of the peasants in the interior.At every turn, he was whipped, gouged out his eyes, cut off his ears, and cut off his head, and lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs.Dependent on the lord for life, without the slightest right.The first thing Qiao Zhiqing had to do was to mobilize the Tibetan masses to overthrow the serfdom ruled by a clique of monks and elites.The separation of church and state has made Tibetan Buddhism a pure religious belief.If there is a carrot for free missionary work in Xinjiang and the big stick of the Sichuan and Yunnan Military Regions to send troops to Tibet, Tibet can be said to be at your fingertips.Xinjiang Hami Frontline Command, after Zhang Xian read Qiao Zhiqing's two opinions, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief."

It's really time for the president's military report to come, if all the millions of aliens in Xinjiang unite to resist us.Then we really need some effort to pacify Xinjiang," Wu Xuming, deputy commander of the Sichuan Military Region, was the first to sigh with emotion, and finally he could not use his hands to be covered with the blood of innocent people."

Yes, if all the nations are killed.Even if Xinjiang is taken back, it is all a desolate and no-man's land.Killing the rebels will also destroy their fighting spirit.No matter how honest they are, they can't make a big move. ”Luo Sanyuan, deputy commander of the Taiyuan Military Region, also chuckled."

We are now fully committed to completing the first phase of the task, and when Xinjiang is completely pacified, we will also implement the policy of abolishing Islam.When the time comes, it will depend on whether these aliens want to live or not, and the president has already given them a way to live.If they don't leave, they can't blame us for being ruthless. ”Wang Baotian, deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, also expressed his opinion, after the pacification of Xinjiang, it was also under the jurisdiction of their Lanzhou Military Region, and he also looked at it for a longer period of time than other generals.The other generals also nodded in agreement and expressed their opinions one after another."

Well, no matter what the president orders.As a soldier, we just have to obey orders.The political side of things, don't discuss it in the future.Now let's talk about the military plan to march into Turpan, what good ideas can you all have to say" Zhang Xian waved his hand with a cold face, signaling everyone to calm down, and then shifted the topic to the military."

Commander Zhang, according to reliable intelligence from the reconnaissance ahead.The troops stationed in Turpan were none other than Ma Zhanao, the leader of the Hui people who had fled from Gansu to Xinjiang.They bypassed the Hexi Corridor from the desert and arrived in Xinjiang, with more than half of them killed or wounded, and only tens of thousands of people came out.After a year of development, the ranks also expanded rapidly, mainly to develop and train cavalry.Now the cavalry under Ma Zhanao, roughly estimated, is about more than 100,000. ”Wang Baotian, deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, got up first and reported the information he had just received to Zhang Xian and the other generals
