The Horqin tribe put up lanterns, all because of the return of the monk Lingqin to sing and dance.Since the rebellion of the Taiping army, Seng Lingqin has been fighting in the south and the north, and has not set foot in the grassland for many years.In the spacious yurt, the banner owners of various tribes in Inner Mongolia gathered to celebrate the return of Monk Lingqin.All the banner lords drank a cup of the imperial wine that Monk Lingqin brought back from the capital, laughed and sat down.During the day, the sika deer that Monk Lingqin had just beaten had also been roasted, and the people brought a plate and placed it in front of the flag owners."
This venison is a great tonic, I haven't eaten such fresh venison for a long time, everyone try it," Monk Lingqin first cut a piece of venison and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it heavily."
Old Prince, thank you for inviting the villain to your banquet, and the villain will toast you first."
The owner of the Ejin Natur Banner Ozhlehok was the first to stand up, took a large bowl of wine and drank it."
Lord of the Ozhle Hok, this king has something to ask you.You united the army of 220,000 in Outer Mongolia, why was the whole army almost wiped out in one battle?"
The other banner owners were also full of puzzlement, this stop greatly damaged the reputation of the Mongolian cavalry, and all the banner owners were holding their stomachs sulking.The Ejina Tuerhut tribe in Inner Mongolia also belongs to the Oirat Mongol tribe and belongs to the same ancestor as the Jungar tribe.After returning from the Volga River in Russia, some of them went to settle in Xinjiang, and some of them settled in the border between Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.This time, Outer Mongolia sent troops to Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia also sent 50,000 cavalry to follow the Turk Special Department, which is also the root cause of this."
Old Prince, Flag Owners, it's a shame to say that we originally followed Naxun Yuketu from Outer Mongolia to Xinjiang to save people, but in the end we killed the Mongolian tribes in Xinjiang.We only fought one battle in Urumqi, and Naxun Choktu was so arrogant that he took us to force the siege in the first battle.As a result, half of them were wiped out by the Huaxing army, which had excellent guns.In the end, he was chased and beaten by the cavalry of the people, and was driven out of Xinjiang like a lost dog" Orileheke waved his hand in frustration, covered his face and sat down."
Naxun Ketu is a man of great ambition and talent, when this king saw him back then.He was young and vigorous, and he was sharp.This attack on Xinjiang, this king was worried about you in his heart, but he didn't expect you to lose so badly. ”Monk Lingqin raised the wine bowl and took a sip of himself, and sighed with emotion."
Yes, Naxun Ketu is a man of great ambition and talent, who has a lot of bravery, but he can't use his brain.The cavalry destroys the enemy in motion, and its advantage is its mobility.He actually gave up his advantages, fought with the Huaxing army for shortcomings, and used cavalry to attack the city, either arrogant or idiotic" Dai Qin, the banner owner of the Ulanqab Banner, scolded directly, without leaving the slightest affection for Naxun Ketu.Now that the elite of Outer Mongolia has been lost, the various tribes are united, and they are far less powerful than half of Inner Mongolia."
Old Prince, our Mongolian clan has lost hundreds of thousands of clansmen in this battle, and the imperial court can be afraid of traitors and don't care about the damage of our Mongolian tribe.But we can't ignore it, so that the traitors will not be able to move an inch in the future and kill us all" Lakshen, the banner owner of the Alxa Erut Banner, scolded angrily, looking indignant.His real purpose was to take the entire Hetao Plain from the hands of the Huaxing Army, and everyone knew that it was a golden treasure land.More water and grass than anywhere else in Inner Mongolia.A few days ago, Monk Greenqin stayed with his tribe to take the northern part of the Hetao Plain, and now he is constantly encouraging Monk Greenqin to wage war against the Huaxing army, the purpose is to snatch the place south of the Yellow River from the hands of the Huaxing army."
The Huaxing army bullied people too much, and there is no one in the Mongolian tribe who bullied me, and this king will destroy their prestige" Monk Lingqin was silent for a while, and suddenly slapped his hands on the table heavily, gritted his teeth and scolded.He was dismissed by the imperial court and held back his anger, and now he is all vented on Hua Xingjun, just thinking that Hua Xingjun himself ended up in the current field.Even he felt that the imperial court was weak, and he always did not dare to fight with the Huaxing army, and let the Huaxing army become stronger and stronger."
Prince, give the order.As long as you are willing to attack the Huaxing Army, our Alxa Erut Banner is willing to send 30,000 troops, close to your left and right" Lakshen hugged his chest with one hand and knelt on the ground at the moment."
Prince, our Ulanqab Banner is also willing to send 20,000 troops, close to your left and right" Dai Qin also knelt down with one hand on his chest, asking for troops.There is no conflict of interests between Ulanchabu Banner and Huaxing Army, and at this moment Daiqin really made this decision from the position of the Mongols, just to find Huaxing Army to avenge the Mongols."
Old Prince, although there are only 10,000 remnants of the defeated army left in our Turghut Division, we are also willing to obey your command and seek revenge from the Huaxing Army" Orile and Ke also hugged his chest with one hand and immediately walked out of the shadow of defeat."
Old Prince, we are also willing to follow your left and right" The other small tribe banner owners also knelt on the ground and begged for battle, after hearing about the defeat of the Mongol tribe in Xinjiang, everyone was full of dissatisfaction, where could the descendants of Genghis Khan suffer such great humiliation."
Well, our ancestors once said that as long as our tribes in the steppe clenched their fists together, then we Mongols would be invincible.We have been scattered for so many years, and it is time to unite and revive the majesty of our Mongolians" Monk Grinqin nodded with satisfaction as he looked at everyone, and shouted excitedly as he picked up the wine bowl."
Old Prince, after this bowl of wine, you will be our alliance leader from now on" Lakshin was the first to stand up with excitement, and then raised the wine bowl, still with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face."
Come, let's all salute the alliance lord with a bowl.In the future, the grassland will no longer be divided into various tribes, everyone will share the blessings and difficulties" Dai Qin has long been looking forward to this day, and got up with a loud shout and picked up the wine bowl."
Don't say anything, in the future, our Turk Ministry will be the old prince's," Ori Leheke finally got up, also with a resolute face, and decided to convince Seng Lingqin, and followed him to fight with Huaxingjun.As soon as he fled back from Xinjiang, he was pushed by the banner masters of the Alxa Erut Department and the Ulanqab Department to ask for war in front of Seng Lingqin and avenge the Mongolian tribes who died in Xinjiang.Now that Seng Lingqin finally agreed, he was most happy, and the depression and indignation in his heart were swept away."
It's done" The other small tribes also got up, and all of them picked up their wine bowls.After the tribes of Inner Mongolia met in Horqin, they jointly elected Seng Gelinqin as the leader of the alliance.Monk Lingqin also actively prepared for war, preparing to launch an attack on the Huaxing army after the beginning of spring, and the first target of the attack was the Huaxing army in Ningxia.The Hetao Plain was rich in water and grass, and as long as it was controlled, the Mongol army would have an excellent grazing land.Ningxia and Inner Mongolia are close to each other, and taking Ningxia first can also remove the threat of the Huaxing army to Inner Mongolia.Otherwise, the various departments of Inner Mongolia are always on their backs, and they always feel that the Huaxing army has crossed the Yellow River without paying attention."
Commander-in-Chief, Nanjing Urgent" Shanxi Taiyuan Railway Station, Shanxi Railway invested and built by Jin merchants, and now the section from Taiyuan to Datong has been fully opened.Wang Shijie was full of excitement and took the train from Taiyuan to Datong round trip.As soon as he got off the train, the herald sent an urgent message.The Shanxi Railway is different from the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway in the south of the Yangtze River, which took a full year to build and only completed half of the distance.After the beginning of spring next year, the construction of the railway from Taiyuan to Datong will begin.Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, with ravines and ravines, and I don't know how much more rugged and bumpy it is than Jiangnan.However, with the efforts of the technicians, they still overcame one difficulty after another, and finally built a railway from Taiyuan to Datong.In the beginning, ordinary people traveled between the two places, and the shortest time was one month, but now it is only three days.Whether it is military or civilian, it is earth-shaking progress.The construction of the railway from Taiyuan to Datong was also in preparation for the attack on Beijing.Now the army is assembled in Datong, and it will only take a week at most.Wang Shijie was itching in his heart, and he couldn't wait to smash Huanglong now and lead the army to Beijing.Whoever thought about the train received an urgent report from the Ministry of National Defense, which excited Wang Shijie half to death."
Walk back to the headquarters," Wang Shijie ordered again and again, got into the carriage and rushed to the headquarters.At this time, the commanders and chiefs of staff of the Taiyuan Military Region and the Lanzhou Military Region had already arrived.After the pacification of Xinjiang's northern Xinjiang, the new 13 th Army of the Sichuan Military Region and the new First Army of the Taiyuan Military Region have all returned to their garrisons, and Xinjiang has all been handed over to the new 11 th Army and the New 12 th Army of the Lanzhou Military Region for garrison.Zhang Xian, commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, also returned to his station, and deputy commander Wang Baotian led the army in Xinjiang."
Commander-in-chief" After Wang Shijie entered the house, all the generals got up and saluted.The house was warm, and there were several pots of coal."
Okay, okay, okay, sit down.Originally, I would celebrate Zhang Xian as soon as he came back, but as soon as the railway was repaired, I sat around with an itch in my heart, Brother Zhang Xian, don't blame me" Wang Shijie looked around at everyone, made a joke, and sat down."
Commander-in-chief, you're too boring to sit on foreign things and don't take us with you, you secretly went by yourself" Zhang Xian replied with a smile, and the generals also ridiculed, and the room was full of laughter."
Alright, let's get down to business.You have all read the military order of the Ministry of National Defense, all of you will share your opinions, and see how you can pull out this nail in Inner Mongolia" Wang Shijie smiled, roasted his hands on the brazier, stopped laughing, and took out the military newspaper of the Ministry of National Defense from his pocket."
Commander, we have received the latest information.The Mongol Tatars had already joined the alliance in Korqin, and decided to take the monk Gelqin as the leader of the alliance, and launched an attack on our Ningxia after the beginning of spring.The various departments of Inner Mongolia added up to about 160,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were commanded by Seng Lingqin."
Zhang Xian, commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, took the lead in handing over the information to Wang Shijie and exchanged information with the generals.Ningxia is now garrisoned by the Lanzhou Military Region, and after all the Hui people have migrated away, Ningxia has completely become a wasteland, and there is no human population for hundreds of miles
