"Where are you going? My dear, what nonsense are you talking about!" The door curtain shook, and Polya walked in, holding a lunch box in one hand and holding the child in the other.
When she saw Zhao Xin was there, she smiled kindly. Although this girl is already a mother, because she is only twenty years old, she is in her prime.
She wore a long black velvet dress and a pair of spur boots. Her fluffy cloud-like blond hair was tied up and fixed at the back of her head with a hairpin studded with pearls.
Just by looking at this outfit, you can tell how much Fan Tong dotes on her.
"Uh...I mean I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going to stay with you, mother and son." Seeing his wife coming, Fan Tong hurriedly explained.
"Come, let me hug you." Zhao Xin smiled and clapped his hands at Fan Tong's son. The little guy had already seen Zhao Xin several times, so he didn't recognize him. He clicked his little mouth and grabbed it. Zhao Xin’s hair.
Little Fan Tong, who is more than eight months old, has been loved by everyone wherever he goes since he came to the Western Front Army. Although this child has oriental black hair, he has inherited Polya's exquisite facial features, and he also has a pair of big, watery eyes like gems.
Zhao Xin sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you are now a father."
"I used to be fearless, but since I got him, I have become more worried." Fan Tong looked at his son jumping up and down in Zhao Xin's arms. He didn't know why the corners of his eyes were a little astringent, and murmured: "That moment when he was shot. Son, all I was thinking about were the two of them. At that time, I was thinking, if they can't go back, what will they do in the future..." Hearing Fan Tong say this, Polya's eyes also turned red.
Both of her parents are dead, her uncle and aunt are thousands of miles away, and her whole life depends on the one in front of her.
When she learned that Fan Tong was injured, she felt like the sky was falling. Zhao Xin sighed and said to the couple full of guilt: "I was careless this time. It would have been better if I had brought more people with me. I feel there is no need to go out in a big way... I'm sorry. Ah!" Fan Tong said hurriedly: "Brother Zhao, I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, this leg would probably be hanging." Polya also echoed: "Zhao, thank you." Zhao Xin hesitated He said: "How about... we can go back to Beihai Town after the injury is healed? Now our stall is getting bigger and bigger..."
"No!" Fan Tong took the handkerchief from Polya, blew his nose, and said resolutely: "Da Liu needs me more, we still have to lead the armored troops out of Congling to the west!"
"Okay! That's interesting!" Before he finished speaking, Liu Sheng with a smile on his face and Wu Xiha with a big belly walked in.
Last spring, Liu Sheng followed Zhao Xin's request and sent someone to escort the four Saihan siblings to Beihai Town.
The couple was very uncomfortable with the sudden absence of the noise of the child around them. By the beginning of summer, Ushiha was pregnant.
Polya hurriedly came forward to say hello and helped Ushiha sit down. The latter saw Fan Tong's son and was extremely curious, so he hugged him without any explanation.
Fan Tong asked Polya to help him sit up, and asked Liu Sheng: "Have you captured all the guys who attacked?" Liu Sheng motioned for him to lie down and said: "I have captured some of them, and they are still searching the mountain. Don't worry! No one can escape." It was said that Zhao Xin and his party were attacked, Fan Tong was injured, and seven officers and soldiers including the guard platoon leader were killed, causing an uproar in the Northern Navy troops outside Jingyuan City.
When Jiang Fan and others contacted the headquarters through the radio, Liu Sheng, who was furious, ordered the implementation of military martial law in Qitai, Zhenxifu, and Hami while dispatching troops to respond, and stationed personnel at various traffic passes to strengthen Patrol and carry out continuous interrogation of people coming and going.
The Northern Navy stationed outside Jingyuan City dispatched two horse-mounted infantry battalions. With the help of more than a dozen drones with infrared thermal imaging capabilities, they launched a raid over hundreds of miles around Jiangbulak and Shule City. Search online; as soon as flames, horses, and humanoid images are found, ground troops will quickly surround them.
The northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains were unbearably cold at night, and there were wolves and leopards roaming around. Those who escaped would have committed suicide if they did not light a fire.
In the middle of the night, more than 20 escapees were arrested one after another. When they were arrested, everyone was confused and couldn't figure out how the Beihai Navy found them when they were already hiding in such a remote place.
Faced with such a dragnet, He Sheng'e, disguised as a Taoist priest, would naturally be unable to escape. On the early morning of the next day after the incident, he and two of his men were blocked in a remote ravine on the upper reaches of the Zhonggegen River by more than a dozen Northern Navy soldiers.
At first, they tried to cross the Tianshan Mountains along the mountain ridge, but the drones in the sky kept a close eye on the three of them; as more and more Beihai navy surrounded them, He Sheng'an, who lamented that he had nowhere to escape, had no choice but to draw his knife and commit suicide. .
This time he was completely dead, his carotid artery was severed, and not even Daluo Jinxian could save him. The two henchmen were unwilling to be caught and continued to flee. Later, one was shot to death and the other was slightly injured and captured.
After interrogation, it was learned that the captured guy called himself Alin Bao. Knowing that the situation was over, he revealed that their hiding place was at the Dongquan Temple.
Jiang Fan was shocked after hearing the news. What the hell, you know, Fan Tong was there to pick up Zhao Xin in the first few days!
He immediately dispatched a company of cavalry to the Dongquan Temple, seized and arrested all personnel, including the abbot, and told them that if they resisted, they would be shot to death.
After interrogating the other prisoners, it was discovered that most of them were cavalry escorts who returned to the palace, and the matter of the palace's collusion with the remaining Manchus was also exposed.
"...The three of them originally planned to meet at the Shule City ruins, but they happened to meet you!" Fan Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he was really unlucky.
Several people then joked for a while. Fan Tong's gunshot wound had not healed, and he had lost too much blood before. After talking for a long time, he became a little depressed and his eyelids bulged.
When Zhao Xin and others saw this, they stood up and left, and before leaving, they advised him to rest in peace and recuperate. When they got out of the tent, Liu Sheng originally wanted to help his wife go back, but Wu Xiha saw that her husband and Zhao Xin still had something to say, so she waved her hand and said: "We haven't even taken a few steps together, so don't worry about me." After that, he strode like lightning. Went home.
Zhao Xin teased Liu Sheng: "A tough life does not need explanation, Miss Hezhe, don't accept it." Liu Sheng smiled lightly, feeling very proud in his heart.
The two of them turned around and walked slowly in the direction of the headquarters. Liu Sheng suddenly whispered: "Do you know who the guy in black armor you killed was?"
"who?"
"Come back to the leader of Yiwei camp in the palace." Zhao Xin stopped and said in surprise: "Why did they come to the north of Tianshan Mountain? What did Bayan do to eat?" Liu Sheng explained: "This team originally We were stationed in Yiwu, where there was a large pasture for King Hui. We used to be stationed at Xiamaya Bingcheng. After Jingyuan City was captured by us, they greased their soles and hid in the pasture. At the beginning, I felt Something is wrong, why is Xiamaya an empty city?" Speaking of which, the troops on the western front still suffered from the disadvantage of not knowing the Uyghur language.
The Huiwang fiefdom under the Manchu Qing Dynasty was like a state within a state, and they did not even have to pay taxes. As for the leading ministers and county magistrates, they would never interfere in the affairs of the prince's fiefdom as long as there was no civil unrest, so they did not understand the internal situation of the ranch.
The two came to the headquarters, found an unoccupied tent and sat down. After the guards poured tea and retreated to the door, Liu Sheng said: "I plan to take action against the palace."
"what do you think?"
"We can't let them go through any more troubles. After the spring begins, the army will go westward. If it stays, it will be a disaster! This hidden danger must be solved before leaving, and it can knock the mountain to shake the tiger."
"You mean Turpan, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Xin nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then called the guard at the door in and asked him to invite Jiang Fan over.
A few minutes later, Jiang Fan came with a tired look on his face. Zhao Xin comforted the other party for a few words, and then told Liu Sheng what he meant, and then asked: "What do you think?" Jiang Fan held the tea cup, and while sorting out his thoughts, he said: "The commander's words are not unreasonable. Go back to the palace. Such shameless and despicable behavior will definitely cause serious trouble in the future if thunderous measures are not used. Previously, His Highness talked about the method of 'governing according to the customs' and 'giving both grace and power', which greatly inspired the feudal lord. The troubles in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are not as great as those in Hami, The kings of Hui and Aqimubek in Turpan have nothing to do with their own affairs, but they have affairs far away from home. If they want to achieve peace, they must change their territory and return to the country. Today, the situation in various parts of Xinjiang is complicated. If the coveted enemy continues to use barbarians to rule barbarians, he will actually be using banditry to fight banditry. If he does not eradicate the source of the vines, use troops to punish, punish, finance, and organize everything, it will not cure the root cause."
"Yes. What you said makes sense. If you are responsible for this matter, how do you plan to operate it?" Jiang Fan said without hesitation: "Capture the rich, powerful and tyrannical together, and gradually relocate the cowardly and cowardly ones, and then cooperate with the broadcast The proclamation was made to every household in the unit of assistants. It was stated that their labor service would be abolished, and if our troops were dispatched, no matter how long or short, they would be paid for three days in advance, so that the people would be grateful. Afterwards, the population of their fields and pastures would be checked, and ID cards would be issued for each household. With such a big end ready, the road to the east of Xinjiang can be determined." Zhao Xin glanced at Liu Sheng silently, tapping the five fingers of his right hand on the table in turn, and his thoughts were surging.
After the attack, he also believed that the cancer of returning to the palace must be cut off. However
"Change the land and return it to the current" is easy to say, but in practice it is an extremely complicated and long-term project.
The most troublesome thing here is the difficulty in policy interpretation caused by different religious beliefs and cultural beliefs.
In addition, after breaking down the old power system, how to involve the emerging forces pro-Beihai Town, thereby achieving smooth communication between the upper and lower levels to alleviate social dissatisfaction.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said to Liu Sheng solemnly: "In principle, I have no objection. You have accumulated a lot of experience in Khalkha in the past few years and are familiar with the road. But I have to remind you that Sufis are either Don’t move. If you want to move, you can’t leave any trouble. If you let it go, it will be even more troublesome.”
"Understood. Don't worry." The tone of the two people's words sounded understated, but Jiang Fan's heart was beating wildly. He knew that from this moment on, returning to the palace and those dignitaries were already a piece of cake on the chopping board!
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and then said to Jiang Fan: "Ziping, there are two things I must remind you."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Whether it is the abolition of corvee or the census of the land population, the core purpose is to improve the living environment of the Uyghur people. If we do it for a long time, but the lives of the Uyghur and Kazakh people are not improved in the end, then they will definitely have to stop. Fundamentally questioning the rationality of the new regime in Beihai Town will also give opportunities to the old vested interests. Then there are the low-level imams in various townships and villages. Don’t treat them as the minions of the Hui King across the board. , let the work team communicate more, listen to their ideas, respect their beliefs, and try to use them for me except for those who are very angry." Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, Jiang Fan had already understood it like a revelation, and he felt more right in his heart. His admiration is indescribable.
Another day later, Zhao Xin saw that Fan Tong's injury had stabilized, so he left the Dongquan Temple under the escort of two companies of cavalry led by Jiang Fan himself.
He stayed in Qitai for more than ten days, and many people who were eager to go home for the New Year were impatient with the wait.
After seeing off Zhao Xin, Jiang Fan did not return to Jingyuan City. Instead, he led his troops to escort a batch of generators and broadcasting equipment to Hami via the Tianshan Mountains.
On the morning of Zhao Xin's departure, February 4, 1794, almost all the Northern Navy cavalry stationed in Hami City were dispatched.
Before Hui Wangfu had time to react, they had already taken over all defenses inside and outside Huiwang Palace. At the same time, they disarmed Huiwangfu's escort troops and imprisoned them in the Wangfu military camp.
After hearing the news, Dataiji Emote was shocked. Just as he was about to go to negotiate in person, hundreds of North Koreans had already surrounded Huiwang Mansion and Taiji Mansion, strictly ordering no one to enter or exit. All drinking water and food were provided by the Northern Navy. Send it to the house.
In the afternoon, troops from the other three Burke Houses also went there and adopted the same method.
For a time, the entire Hami area was in panic, and both Han and Uighur people were speculating about what had happened.
The Beihai Navy is engaging in such a big battle, and it’s really the Chinese New Year that won’t let anyone stop. Two days later, a piece of earth-shattering news shocked the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The cavalry of the Northern Navy posted a notice in the thirty-eight villages of Liuxiang under the command of King Hui of Hami, and called the villagers to read out the contents.
The notice was written in three languages: Han, Mongolian and Uyghur, and in the name of the Western Front Command of the Northern Navy, it was announced that the hereditary inheritance of Hui Wangfu would be abolished forever.
In the Beixiang area at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the troops stationed in Barkol also sent several troops to Liushuquan, Naomao Lake, Xiamaya, Yanchi and other places to summon the Uighurs and Kazakhs who settled nearby to unify. Read the notice.
"When the country was founded, all the previous autocratic regimes and feudal systems were wiped out. The Manchu and Qing Dynasty's Zhasak system had the function of fixing borders and maintaining stability. However, the princes of the various Mongolian tribes in Khalkha did not interfere with the political power, nor did they occupy the land. , criminal administration and the power to collect taxes. The only place in Hami is under the management of the princes of the Huibu. It has been a long-term evil and cannot be appointed to the left and right. Because of this, they steal power, oppress and kill the Wei people beforehand, and make friends with the Manchus. The remnant plotted to murder the Beihai Navy. One person is wreaking havoc on the top, and a group of petty people are exploiting below. The people's financial resources are limited, and the demands of the leaders are endless. Desires are hard to fill, supplies and expenditures are excessive, and people are hungry and cold. Who dares to do this? If you give up this, you will not seek change. Otherwise, the suffering of the people will never be relieved! Looking at the past and looking at the past, we can no longer follow the same rules and cause eternal suffering to the people. Therefore, the Western Front Command of the Northern Navy has decided to change the situation from now on. The soil returns to the flow, saving the people from water and fire. Special order: exempt the entangled people from all the corvee work back to the palace; reduce the amount of grain payment, inventory the land, distribute it to each family, exempt from taxes for three years; regardless of Uyghur or Kazakh households, all debts owed in previous years Returning to the royal palace, all grain and grass taxes will be exempted. In compliance with customs, minor cases such as the marriage and property of the Wei people are still allowed to be handled by the Imam in accordance with the scriptures; major cases such as murder, robbery, theft, and rebellion must be handed over to the Hami Military Control Commission. Absolutely, this make!"
