As soon as Zhang Zhidong died, the plan to attack Shanhaiguan was put on hold.After the purge of the Han Kwantung New Army, the middle and senior commanders also became incomplete.Cixi also temporarily handed over this force to Li Hongzao.At present, among the Han bureaucrats, only Li Hongzao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, can hold up the banner.The balance of power between the Manchus and the Han in the court was completely broken, and the Manchu nobles once again took charge of the discourse in the court.In the face of the gradually forming pro-noble forces, Cixi felt more and more powerless.At the Presidential Palace in Beijing, Wei Ziyou informed Qiao Zhiqing of the news of Zhang Zhidong's assassination early in the morning.Firefox recounted all the causes and consequences in the secret report, and there was nothing missing.But I only talked about it, and I didn't make a conclusion.Qiao Zhiqing was sentimental for a while, although he and Zhang Zhidong were in two camps.But they are both disciples of Qi Junzao, and they are also brothers of the same sect.Now Qi Junzao was framed to death by the imperial court first, and then Zhang Zhidong followed in the footsteps.Judging from the cause of this incident, Qiao Zhiqing never believed that it was just an accident.Fengtian City was heavily guarded, and if no one instructed him, Zhang Chunping would never have been able to assassinate him so easily."
Brother Qiao, what the hell is going on in Kanto, how is it so decent, Zhang Zhidong was assassinated" Wei Ziyou looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a puzzled face, and he didn't understand what happened in Kanto during this time.This is normal, after the Qing court retreated to the northeast, Prince Gong, Prince Alcohol, and Prince Qing successively took charge of military power.The power of the Manchu nobles is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no relative balance of power in the court, and they will never be willing to hand over the power they have to the Han again.In order to suppress this situation and better control the imperial court, Cixi made great efforts to promote Zhang Zhidong.Under the wrestling between the two sides, Zhang Zhidong became a victim of this political struggle. ”Qiao Zhiqing saw the essence of the matter at once, and he was also used to this kind of political struggle, so he didn't feel anything strange.This series of things seems unrelated, but in fact, there are hidden mysteries behind them, and murderous opportunities are everywhere."
Brother Qiao, isn't this the Manchurian self-destruction of the Great Wall, if there is no Zhang Zhidong to run the Northeast, where would they have the current power.Now that we're going to send troops to Kanto, they're still doing suicidal infighting. ”Wei Ziyou wronged Zhang Zhidong, and she still admired Zhang Zhidong's character and ability."
It is difficult to return, and the Qing court has reached the stage of terminal illness.After the fact that they wanted to take advantage of the Han people and did not trust the Han people, I believe that the Han Chen will definitely become more detached from morality.Zhang Zhidong must have known his situation in advance, but in the face of the temptation of power, he was reluctant to let go.People die for money, birds die for food, and you don't have to complain for Zhang Zhidong. ”Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.It was a kind of loneliness when he was standing at the top, and he was the enemy he valued, but he didn't want to end his life in this way."
Brother Qiao, then when will we send troops to Zhangzhidong in Kanto and die, there will be a few Manchu wine bags and rice bags left, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold on for even a year" Wei Ziyou asked curiously, and he couldn't wait to see the unification of the country and the country."
Don't worry, don't underestimate the Qing court.The emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, and they still have at least 300,000 elite forces in their hands.For now, we are still concentrating on taking Tibet first, is there any news coming back from there" Qiao Zhiqing closed the secret report, stretched his waist, and took a sip of the tea bowl."
Oh, yes, I was about to tell you," Wei Ziyou smiled sweetly and hurriedly took out the military report sent by Wu Xuming from his briefcase.Deputy Commander Wu Xuming came to report that more than 100,000 people under his command had passed through Ya'an and entered Kangding County through the Ancient Tea Horse Road.It has always been a gathering area for Tibetans, and there are more than a dozen lords under them, and they have 10,000 soldiers and horses.Deputy Commander Wu Xuming is commanding the soldiers and horses to exterminate them, and at the same time is also carrying out an agrarian movement to liberate the serfs here" Wei Ziyou put the military newspaper on the desk and made a brief introduction."
I'm familiar with this place, and there are people in my hometown who have written a love song specifically for this place."
Qiao Zhiqing picked up the military newspaper and chuckled lightly while reading it."
Love song, Brother Qiao's hometown is in Shanxi, how can he write a love song for the Tibetan gathering area" Wei Ziyou's big eyes widened, and he didn't believe it."
If you don't believe it, I'll sing it to you" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, and hummed out of his mouth, "On the mountain where the horses are running, a slippery cloud, shining on the end, the slippery city of Kangding, the moon bending, the slippery city of Kangding." ”"Brother Qiao, it's so good.I sometimes really doubt that you are a god descending from the heavens, how can you understand so many strange things" Wei Ziyou was fascinated by this, and looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a surprised expression.This love song was really made for Kangding City, and she really hadn't heard this kind of love song before."
It's all a small song in the mountains, and it's not elegant, so you haven't heard it, there's nothing to be surprised about" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, and after reviewing the military newspaper in his hand, he let Wei Ziyou send it out.He looked at Wei Ziyou with a look of surprise on his face, and was secretly amused in his heart.I feel that the girls of this era are really simple, and a love song makes them fascinated.If you don't choose to rebel, you can sing love songs on the street if you have nothing to do, and you can probably hook up with a lot of girls from good families, and maybe you will become a superstar of the emperor.Kangding County is the gateway to Tibet, and if you take it, Tibet will be wide open.All the way to the west, you can go straight to Lhasa.The map looks simple, but it's not easy to actually get through the army from this sheep's intestine trail.Haizi Mountain, Zheduo Mountain, and Gongga Mountain in the middle of Daxue Mountain run through the county border from north to south, dividing Kangding County into two major parts: east and west.The east is high mountains and valleys, most of the peaks are more than 5,000 meters, and Gongga Mountain, known as the "first peak of Tianfu", is in the southeast of the county.In the western and northwestern regions, there are mostly hilly plateaus and high mountains and deep valleys.Wu Xuming also thought so, if you only look at the map, Lhasa City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Kangding County, and the rapid march can be reached in January.But the real march is really two different things, the mountain road is difficult to say, after entering Kangding, the altitude gradually rises.Many, many soldiers in the army immediately suffered from high cold and lack of oxygen.In order to let the soldiers adapt to the environment here, Wu Xuming also stationed here for an extra month according to the military plan.Half of the more than 100,000 people who have marched into Tibet this time will be engaged in the work of building bridges and paving roads.A large number of geological experts followed the action and were specifically responsible for the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet line highway.This is a difficult project, and Qiao Zhiqing did not think that it could be completed in one or two years.However, once the highway is completed, it will be of great political and military significance for strengthening the ties between Sichuan and Tibet and for better control of Tibet.The Huaxing army is overwhelmed, and the leaders of Kangding County will certainly not be captured.They are accustomed to being the king and hegemonic here, where will they obey the control of the Huaxing army and give their own land to those slaves under their command.The most important thing is that the land here is planted with poppies, which are very environmentally demanding, and the opium that can be found all over the southwest is produced here.When Britain and France dumped opium on the Qing court, officials in the interior saw that it was profitable, so they directly transferred it to endogenous imports and planted poppies on a large scale in Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan.Tibetan chiefs and toasts are also involved, with planting and inland officials in charge of sales.The land with meager profits in the past has now become expensive.It is now July, and it is time for the poppies to blossom and bear fruit, and opium is extracted at this time.From a distance, the mountains are full of red flowers, like a carpet of red and green on the earth.But underneath this gaudy exterior lies a poison that is impossible to refuse.Wu Xuming's most important task this time is also to eliminate these poppies and completely cut off the drug base in the southwest.Fortunately, at this time, the poppy had just spread in Tibetan areas, and it did not spread to the depths, and it was only cultivated in Kangding.Huaxingjun's move, for the Tusi and leaders of Kangding, is tantamount to cutting the heart and cutting the flesh.These local Tusi immediately formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and also united with the eighteen Tusi in the Aba area to resist the Huaxing Army.Because Tibet and Guannai were almost isolated, the weapons of these Tusi were not much behind the Qing army in Guannai.He also used Tibetan knives and bows and arrows, and he didn't even have a lagging shotgun.At this time, the regular Tibetan army was basically deployed only in the Tibetan region, which is basically the Tibet Autonomous Region today, and it is also the area really ruled by the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, and their Kashag government.The Yushu Prefecture and Guoluo Prefecture in present-day Qinghai Province, Gannan Prefecture in Gansu, the northernmost part of Aba Prefecture in Sichuan, the central and southern parts of Aba Prefecture in present-day Ganzi Prefecture in present-day Sichuan, and the Tibetan areas of Diqing Prefecture in Yunnan were ruled by a large number of Tusi and Datou people.These hereditary Tusi and Datou were canonized and appointed by the Qing court, and the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama were only religious leaders here, not political leaders here, and there was no regular Tibetan army in these two regions.The capital of Kham is Kangding City, which is located on the Ancient Tea Horse Road.After Huaxing occupied Kangding City for more than half a month, these Tusi and Datou people finally gathered tens of thousands of men and horses, ready to launch a final attack on Huaxing's army.Delusional about this battle, he defeated the Huaxing army and completely drove him out of Tibet.This is the unity that the Tusi in Tibet has not had for thousands of years, and it is also the largest troop build-up.In the early morning of dawn, Kangding City was still a little cold.On the grassland outside Kangding City, the flag covers the sun, and the war horse neighses.These Tusi moved out of their own homes, and gathered thousands of horses and cavalry.The Huaxing Army also lined up on the opposite side, and only dispatched 3,000 troops to line up in a two-stage firing phalanx on the position.It's not that Wu Xuming underestimates the enemy, it's really that the opponent is too unworthy of mention.All of them didn't even have a complete set of military uniforms, and they were wearing tattered Tibetan robes, and they were all strong men made of forced serfs.Although they are enemies, they are also a group of class brothers who are about to be rescued, Wu Xuming does not want to kill them, and Qiao Zhiqing definitely does not like him to kill people indiscriminately in Tibet.These three thousand men were enough to frighten them and break their will to fight.Achieve maximum combat objectives with minimum damage.This has always been the purpose of Wu Xuming's war, and he was the same when he fought against the Taiping Army in Chengdu
