Is Shi Dakai still alive?

How could he be alive?
In the following time, Zhu Xianhai asked a lot about Shi Dakai.

"So, he crossed the Dadu River?"

After learning that he crossed Daduhe and defeated Luo Bingzhang's tens of thousands of troops, Zhu Xianhai was beyond shocked.

"Yi Wang is a talented man who not only crossed the Dadu River a few years ago, but also beheaded tens of thousands of Qing Yao from Luo Bingzhang. If Luo Qing Yao hadn't escaped quickly, he probably would have lost his life there."

When Yang Fuqing triumphantly showed off the brilliant results of Yi Wang Shi Dakai, Zhu Xianhai had more doubts in his heart - how did Shi Dakai cross the Dadu River, how did he defeat Luo Bingzhang, and how did he occupy Gansu.

In fact, in the final analysis, Shi Dakai’s change of fate is completely due to the wings of a butterfly. 10 years ago, relying on the arms transported by Nanhua, the Taiping Army captured Hangzhou earlier than in history. With the advantage of guns, it almost swept across the entire Zhejiang Province. In order to restore the situation, the Qing army hastily mobilized troops from Hunan and Jiangxi in an attempt to prevent the Taiping Army from entering Shanxi.At the same time, Shi Dakai, who had moved to several provinces, led the Taiping Army from Rong County, Guangxi, into Suining, Hunan. After learning of the news, he changed his plan to march to eastern Sichuan and went to Jiangxi.Then he reunited with the Taiping Army in Jiangxi.

After joining forces, Shi Dakai's department not only had a rest, but even unexpectedly received a batch of arms—Li Fugui sent him more than twenty 12-pound mountain howitzers, thousands of Spencer rifles, P1853 rifles, and a large amount of ammunition.

"The reason why I sent the arms to his account at the beginning was because of nostalgia. After all, I used to be an errand under the command of King Yi, and secondly, I wanted to open up a new way. After all, King Yi has hundreds of thousands of horses. Buying weapons here is naturally a big customer,..."

Mentioning this "old account", Li Fugui couldn't help complaining.

"I never thought that King Yi, the hero, would be too lazy to set up the bill. Before we came to collect the bill, he led the army and ran away again. I wanted to find someone to ask for the bill, but I didn't know where to look for it. Now Well, King Yi has escaped to Gansu, just in time, I will go back and settle this account properly."

When Li Fugui mentioned Shi Dakai, he would always use "Yiwang", and he knew what he was thinking without thinking about it, it was not just as simple as nostalgia.The ammunition was given to him on purpose.

"Okay, riches and honors, you don't have to pay for it, but to be honest, your move is wonderful!"

More than wonderful!

It is simply wonderful. The change of the route made Shi Dakai late for more than half a year before arriving at the Dadu River. He crossed the river in November 1863, and then with thousands of foreign guns and cannons, he used Luo Bingzhang's subordinates The group practice of bird guns and spears crashed to the point of collapse, and then they moved all the way. After entering Gansu in the second year, they took advantage of the emptiness of Gansu to take down Lanzhou and seized the entire province of Gansu.

After occupying Gansu, he not only saved the lives of millions of people in Gansu, but also wiped out the "Eighteen Battalions", and even joined forces with Li Hefei to some extent - the Huai Army defeated the "Eighteen Battalions" When the "Eighteen Battalions" fled to the northwest, they were wiped out by Shi Dakai on the way.

According to Yang Fuqing, the Yellow River was completely red that day! There are nearly [-] people in the "Eighteen Battalion" and none of them slipped through the net!From then on, there will never be any nightmare legends of "go back to Xi'an City, buckle the gate bolt, I'm back"!
"The King of Wings is here in the northwest, and the northwest is safe!"

The reason why Zhu Xianhai sighed in this way is not only because of the destruction of the "Eighteen Battalions", but more importantly, Xinjiang.

In fact, when he was captured in Dezuo Zongtang and came to Nanhua, Zhu Xianhai felt like a thunderbolt. Master Zuo was the one who carried the coffin to go to war. What about Xinjiang?
It’s all right now, Shi Dakai’s biggest accomplice was solved by Shi Dakai, and they all sank into the Yellow River. As for Xinjiang...

After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai walked to the wall of the map as if he remembered something, and after pushing away a few maps, a map of Huaxia appeared in front of him.

"Has the Longhai Railway been built in Xi'an?"

"Your Majesty, the construction of the Longhai Railway to pacify the bandits was just a pretext. After Xi'an, Li Hefei stopped building it westward, and then went northwest. The mountain road along the way, the railway is not easy to repair, and there must be a big road. There is not so much silver in the Manchu Qing Dynasty to throw to the northwest."

The Longhai Railway was originally built to pacify the northwest, but no matter what, Zhu Xianhai never expected that Shi Dakai would be among the bandits.

History has taken some unexpected turns here.

This change seems to be not bad, the only problem is - how to coax Shi Dakai to go to Xinjiang!
As long as Shi Da drives to Xinjiang, Yagubo in Xinjiang will definitely not be his opponent.

On this day, Zhu Xianhai stood in front of the map all night, staring at the map, thinking a lot.

"It seems that we need to strengthen our intelligence work in China!"

When collecting intelligence in Huaxia, Daming was more concerned about the immigration issue than political and economic intelligence. After all, Daming's focus was not in Huaxia.Because of this, I don't know much about China's situation at all.

Just like Shi Dakai, who would have thought that he was still alive...

However, this is not surprising, Gansu is too remote. In this era, unless special attention is paid, few people really pay attention to that place.

"Think of a way, let him go to Xinjiang!"

Staring at the map, thinking for a long time, Zhu Xianhai frowned, and finally, his eyes fell on Li Hefei.

As long as Li Hefei is around, Shi Dakai will go to Xinjiang sooner or later whether he wants to or not.After all, as long as Li Hefei is determined to forge ahead, train new troops, and do foreign affairs, sooner or later he will enter Gansu.

The only problem is, before Shi Dakai leaves Xinjiang, establish some contact with him and sell him some ammunition. After all, Commander Zuo regained Xinjiang by relying on the sharpness of the seven-shot serial gun.

"Well, it seems that we need to send someone to collect the old debts!"

Zhu Xianhai smiled lightly.

"Dignified King Yi, you won't be lazy!"

If lazy?

Emperor Zhu certainly didn't care. The most important thing was to re-establish contact and use "smuggling" to send some weapons to Shi Dakai.Even turned to Central Asia.

Central Asia, Central Asia...

Now Russia has only just begun to expand in Central Asia. If there is no Manchu Qing intervention, at least Xinjiang will not be cut off by Lao Maozi for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land!

Russia is also a problem!

However, there is no problem with them. After all, in fact, Zhu Xianhai had already dug a hole for Russia a few years ago.

Not only is it a pit, but it is also a tiankeng!
