With more than 50,000 cavalry under his command and the families of the Bortala Mongol tribe, Nasun Yuktu quickly escaped from Karamay City.When the airship of the No. 1 Aviation Squadron dropped the bomb, all the Mongolian cavalry outside the city could see it clearly, and they were all stunned, eager to fly out of Xinjiang and return to the Mongolian steppe.Naxun Ketu also regretted coming out, and secretly scolded himself for having a good life, but he came to provoke such a killing god."
Alliance leader, according to our current speed, the Huaxing army will soon be able to catch up" The night was dark, but the Mongolian army did not stop, and still fled towards the Mongolian steppe without stopping.Mozhigen inspected the flags of the whole army, hurried back to the side of Naxun Ketu, and reported to him anxiously."
What's the matter, aren't the other flags catching up?"
said Nasunyuktu, who had just taken a nap on his horse, and almost fell off his horse."
No, the men and horses of all the banners are following.It's just that the family members of the Bortala tribe are moving a little slowly, and now they are more than fifty miles away from the army, should we stop and wait for them" Mo Zhigen frowned and asked for advice."
Well, this Bo Zhi Techi is really a problem for me.When is it, let's take our families with us" A hint of coldness appeared on Naxun Ketu's face, and he ordered with a frown, "Order the army to continue to advance, and live and die in peace." ”"This is not good, Bo Zhi Tichi, that is for the annihilation of our army.If we are treacherous, I am afraid that the other tribes will look down on us" Mozhigen hesitated and pleaded for the Bortala tribe."
We can't protect ourselves, how can we take care of them, the Han people have always been soft-hearted and will not slaughter innocent people.Go and give orders, we're running out of time. ”Naxun Ketu waved his hand impatiently, and he didn't care about any emotion at this time.Bozhitena was dead, and there was no need for him to intercede.Moreover, the two tribes are not the same ancestor, and there is no need to risk it for them."
Yes, the last general commands" A hint of resoluteness flashed on Mo Rigen's face, and he shouted, turned around and ordered the flags to leave.Naxun Kketu's understanding of the Han people is still accurate, and the Han people have been educated by Confucianism since ancient times.He is mild-mannered, kind to others, and does not kill the people.But he forgot that the Mongol army swept away so many tribes along the way, and all ethnic groups in Xinjiang had a deep hatred for them.On the third day, when Xu Yao met the Mongol tribe of Bortala with tens of thousands of Huaxing cavalry.The women and children were all slaughtered, and it is not known which tribe did it.Naxun Choktu deviated from the main road several times, and took a path in the desert, hoping to get rid of the Huaxing army.But because of the high-altitude reconnaissance of the airship, Xu Yao and the cavalry division have been biting the Mongolian army to the death."
Division commander, the command department urgently reports" Xu Yao's cavalry chased all the way and was about to arrive in the Altai region.The herald hurriedly found Xu Yao in the team and sent the military report in his hand.At present, the supply of cavalry divisions is carried out by airships in the air, and it is also very convenient to transmit information."
Stop, rest in place" Xu Yao stretched out his hand for a while, quickly reined in the horse's head, and opened the military newspaper in his hand."
Division commander, what did the command say, do you want us to enter Mongolia and go straight to Huanglong" Deputy division commander Li Fuliang stepped forward and asked excitedly.Now it is less than a hundred miles away from the Mongol cavalry, and this cavalry can be completely annihilated in a night of pursuit."
Li Fuliang, order the withdrawal of troops, don't chase it" Xu Yao took a deep breath, looked at the desolate Gobi Desert, and commanded."
What's wrong with the withdrawal of troops, division commander, we are about to completely annihilate this Mongolian Tartar" Li Fuliang's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know why he wanted to withdraw his troops at this time."
This is the president's order, why do you ask so much, just obey the order" Xu Yao didn't know what was going on, but the soldier still had to obey the order as his duty, and he didn't want to think about these reasons."
Yes, the last general commands" Li Fuliang clenched his fists and shouted, although he was a little unwilling in his heart.But he still happily obeyed the order, turned his horse's head and went down to give orders to the brigade commanders.Now that there are only more than 50,000 remnants of the defeated army left in Outer Mongolia, the Huaxing army can completely annihilate them in Xinjiang, and even enter the Mongolian steppe and uproot the foundation of various tribes.But Qiao Zhiqing thought more long-term, and didn't want to exterminate the Outer Mongolians at this time.In this way, the north will completely lose its barrier, and Russia will also take this opportunity to annex Outer Mongolia in a big way.This time, the Mongolian cavalry gathered 220,000 cavalry to attack Urumqi, and the battle was crippled.Even after ten years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the current strength.The fact that all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have experienced this catastrophe has also suffered a great loss in strength.The Bortala Mongol tribe in northern Xinjiang followed Outer Mongolia and tossed blindly, and the whole tribe was directly wiped out and completely disappeared in northern Xinjiang.When the Bayingolin Mongol tribe in southern Xinjiang learned the news, they angrily scolded the Outer Mongolian tribe for not respecting their credibility and abandoning the Bortala Mongol tribe.also made a feud with the Huaxing Army and was completely attached to the Hui people of Yanqi.After preparing to go north to the Tianshan Mountains after the beginning of spring, he will find the Huaxing army to take revenge.Winter in Xinjiang comes very early, and as soon as November begins, the sky is cold and snows heavily.Before the war, Xinjiang had a population of nearly 3 million people, but now only more than 1 million remain.The tribes that had just experienced the scourge of war all quietly began to raise their wounds, and the war that had lasted for three years finally ushered in a glimmer of light because of the arrival of the Huaxing army.After the Huaxing army drove away the Mongol cavalry, various ethnic groups also regarded them as immortals.Now no matter which famous clan in northern Xinjiang is, they don't dare to move again, for fear that the Huaxing army will be unhappy and destroy their entire clan.Southern Xinjiang was still in turmoil at this time, and after the Hui people from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo migrated one after another, there are now nearly 670,000 Hui people in southern Xinjiang.Under the mutual strangulation of the Uyghurs by Ma Zhankui and Ma Yaobang, the Uyghurs have all retreated to the Hotan area south of the Taklamakan Desert, and only a few hundred thousand people remain.The Uyghurs, the largest ethnic group in Xinjiang at the beginning, are now also in the West Mountains, becoming a small and weak tribe like other ethnic groups, scattered in various places.This is also the result that Qiao Zhiqing is happy to see, according to blood, the Hui people are much closer to the Uyghurs and Han people.If it weren't for the Hui people who slaughtered the Han people in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, Qiao Zhiqing would not have thought of exterminating them.Now that the Hui people's power in southern Xinjiang has begun to grow again, Qiao Zhiqing also asked the Ministry of National Defense to formulate a military plan to enter southern Xinjiang.Only when this nation is completely subdued will they be able to be a part of China with peace of mind.Otherwise, whenever they encounter any difficulties, they will think about splitting Xinjiang out.After completing the mission, the No. 1 Aviation Squadron also returned to Nanjing, and they made a stunning appearance in Xinjiang.Although he did not participate in World War I, he still shook all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.Qiao Zhiqing also officially announced the establishment of the Huaxing Army Air Force.He personally served as the commander of the Air Force, and although there was only one air brigade at present, he put the Air Force in a higher position.An ordinary Air Force soldier with the rank of second lieutenant.The other soldiers were so angry that they all wanted to come over and join the Air Force.Unlike other branches of the armed forces, the Air Force can die at any time.Even the current airship also has great potential safety hazards.At this time, hydrogen is used in the airship for the time being, which is quite unstable, and will explode when it encounters fire.Qiao Zhiqing has asked Xu Jianyin to focus on the research of nitrogen, which has more stable properties, if it can produce nitrogen on a large scale.Then you can replace the hydrogen of the airship with nitrogen, so that the safety factor will be greatly reduced.With the successive research and development of petroleum products, whether it is military or civilian, the demand for oil is also increasing.The nylon needed to make the airship was also extracted from Yanchang County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province.The extraction is inefficient, and the refined oil is also impure.Qiao Zhiqing also began to industrialize oil extraction, becoming the first oil company in New China: China National Petroleum Co., Ltd.It is invested by the four major families of Nanyang and Jin Shang to jointly develop the oil field.The first general manager of PetroChina was also Xu Jianyin, and the four major families of Jinshang and Nanyang each recommended a deputy general manager.Xu Jianyin started studying oil a few years ago, which is his old profession, and he is happy to accept it.Under his leadership, a technical team was soon established to be responsible for oil extraction.Now the oil survey team has all gone to Shaanxi, preparing to dig out gold from the ground in Yanchang County, a poor and remote place.The two families are obedient to Qiao Zhiqing, the God of Wealth, although they still don't know what Qiao Zhiqing wants so much oil for.But judging from the past situation, all the projects introduced by Qiao Zhiqing are now profitable.Therefore, the two parties did not hesitate to invest in the capital, how much money Qiao Zhiqing needed, and how much money the two parties contributed.The first oil field to be developed was the Yanchang Oilfield in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, which was exploited on a large scale during the Qing Dynasty in Qiao Zhiqing's memory.When he used troops in the northwest, he also took into account the issue of oil.Most of China's oil fields are concentrated in the northwest and northeast regions, and the current technology is that the northwest oil fields are the easiest to exploit.When the troops were sent to Xinjiang, there were many different opinions in the Ministry of National Defense, believing that the most important task at the moment was to overthrow the Manchu Tatars.When the Central Plains is solved, we will solve the problem in the northwest.However, Qiao Zhiqing suppressed all these opinions, and strongly advocated the grand strategy of first solving the northwest and then marching into the Central Plains.Not only Xinjiang, Qiao Zhiqing is still eyeing the Middle East.It won't be a few decades before humanity discovers the importance of oil.At that time, the Middle East, the earth's oil depot, will also be the focus of contention among all parties.Qiao Zhiqing put his mind on the Hui people in southern Xinjiang, although they belong to Muslims, they have long been integrated with the Han people, and they are no different from the Han people in appearance.After the beginning of spring, they were about to start using troops against southern Xinjiang, and Qiao Zhiqing also prepared a way for them.That is to go to the Middle East and grab territory there, even if Qiao Zhiqing provides them with logistics and support.Since the Muslims of Central Asia can support Aguba to split Xinjiang, Qiao Zhiqing is naturally also worried about retaliating with a tooth for a tooth and supporting the Hui people in southern Xinjiang to make a world in the Middle East
