young marshal spring and autumn

Chapter 57 The Battle of Cullen

The officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade, holding sabers in their hands, roared through the fence "city wall" which was only 2 meters high in the south of the city. They ignored the Mongolian army who kneeled and surrendered, but some surrendered troops kneeling on the road were chopped down without hesitation. Lost their heads - just because they delayed the way forward of the large troops!

The defenders in the east of the city soon heard a loud noise from behind, and Zhang Chengde's troops copied to the back of the Mongolian army with lightning speed.Guo Songling issued an order for the general attack, and the infantry regiment was unwilling to be outdone, and shouted to charge across the board.

The Mongolian army was finally in chaos. They lacked moral strength in the face of the crusade against the army. With no hope of victory, they chose to abandon their guns and surrender.Seeing that things were not in harmony, Bokdog left his troops and fled northward surrounded by the royal guards.

The battle ended successfully after only 3 hours.Counting the battlefield, the "Anmeng Army" took more than 13000 prisoners and killed more than 2000 people. It is estimated that hundreds of people were killed or injured in the south of the city.However, the casualties of Fang Fang were no more than a hundred people, which is considered a big victory.

Guo Songling was not in a hurry to attack, he arranged to rest in place, while sending troops to guard the passes in the east and south of the city, while arranging scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Mongolian army.According to the previous conclusions of several people, he knew that the large-scale armed struggle had ended, and the rest should be paperwork.

Sure enough, after lunch, the sentry reported that Jebtsundamba Rinpoche sent his special envoy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Longchig, to discuss the truce.Zhang Hanqing smiled coldly and said, "Bring it in."

Not long after, the guard led a middle-aged official in Mongolian formal attire into the general headquarters of the "Anmeng Army".Longqige made a Mongolian salute to everyone and others, and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Your Majesty, Hutuktu Khan sent me to inform you that Hutuktu Khan has requested the dissolution of the Mongolian Independent Government, and we will immediately send a telegram to the central government. , now that an independent government in the full sense no longer exists, the two sides will immediately cease their military service.”

Zhang Hanqing sneered and said: "After losing the battle, you ask for peace and a truce? All Mongol troops must surrender! Why didn't the so-called Living Buddha come to see me? Those responsible for this incident must be held accountable!"

Long Qige was furious, he said: "The descendants of Changshengtian will never surrender, the living Buddha, how can you speak so rudely!"

Zhang Hanqing accepts modern education, what kind of Living Buddha does he believe in?Isn’t that awesome Tibetan Dalaolai Living Buddha kicked out of his lair and making the world his “home”?This so-called "first distant ancestor" of Jebtsundamba Rinpoche--was recognized by the fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso Dalai Lama.It seems that some sources say that the inheritance of the living Buddha system needs to be canonized by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and recognized by the Dalaolai Lama of Tibet to be effective. In this case, if he, as a representative of the central government, does not recognize his religious status, then he is still a fart.Spreading his hands, he said to Longzig: "To borrow a famous saying from Genghis Khan: 'If you want to fight, then fight'. Please go back, and we will see you after the fight."

After thinking for a long time, he has come to a conclusion: in order to obtain Mongolia's long-term ownership, iron and blood methods are indispensable.The central government has given enough privileges to Outer Mongolia, but these people still have a lot of desire.Only by clearing out those separatists who are determined to go down on the ground can we completely restore the clear sky of Outer Mongolia.

Although Longzige spoke forcefully, he was panicked.It had been hoped to support it so that the Russian support forces could arrive.Unexpectedly, the strength of nearly 3 brigades in the east of the city was exhausted in a few hours.If this were not the case, the cabinet would not be in a hurry to call for a truce.He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Young Commander, I am here this time in accordance with the teachings of the Living Buddha. Both sides rest their troops to recuperate. Please don't start a war again."

Zhang Hanqing was unmoved and said: "The immediate surrender of all Mongolian troops is the basis for the negotiations between the two sides. Otherwise, the 'Anmeng Army' will kill all forces that dare to resist, and will severely investigate the responsibility of the upper Mongolian army and the government! You put the original Call me, and I will reply within 2 hours."

With half an hour left on the ultimatum, Zhang Hanqing was a little uneasy.Guo Songling comforted him confidently and said: "Young commander, there will be good news later. The brigade commander has already arranged the battle on the front line. If the document fails, we are sure to wipe out the Mongolian army within half an hour. " Zhang Hanqing said to Hao Ran secretly, thinking that she was too impatient.I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I'm afraid that he will fly away when I'm certain of something?

It was the Mongolian Autonomous Government that was impatient.After a brief consultation, the "Cabinet Manager" Badma & #8226; Dorzi finally decided to accept the proposition of the "Anmeng Army" and ordered all Mongolian troops to disarm.

In the morning of the same day, Ji Yiqiao's Israeli cavalry regiment and a regiment of infantry entered Hulun City first, and marched directly to the four directions to take over the defense of the Mongolian army.In order to demonstrate his force, Zhang Hanqing organized a city entry ceremony ingeniously: with Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade as the vanguard, officials of the Mongolian Autonomous Government were ordered to line up at the gate of the city to welcome them.When Wu Bu stepped through the gate of the city one by one with his vigorous riding posture, neat military horses and high fighting spirit, everyone's heart throbbed with the noise of horseshoes.And when the cannons marched slowly under the drag of 6 war horses, everyone couldn't help but be amazed by their mighty appearance.The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the muzzle were terrified, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Mongolia's weapons are all second-hand goods left over from the Manchu Qing garrison before the Republic of China, and many soldiers even used firecrackers.There are a few red cannons, but there are basically no cannons in the modern sense, and basically no decent weapons have been imported after the Republic of China.Because Mongolia's industry is almost zero, there is no possibility of self-development.What's more, any industry, especially heavy industry, needs sufficient water sources to ensure that Mongolia is a region with severe water shortages!This is also one of the reasons why the Mongolian army had little power to fight back under the attack of the well-equipped "Anmeng Army".

After the first regiment of the army, it was the guard battalion of the commander-in-chief of the "Anmeng Army".Under the strict protection of Zhang Hanqing, along the way, he could only see more and more people gathering in the distance and unremarkable trees on both sides of the street.It was the first time he went out of the "country" after prehistory, and everything here felt both familiar and strange.

There are almost no trees in Kulun, maybe because of the climate, or because of the plateau.Occasionally, I saw a few poplar trees, not to mention whether they were tall or not, but they were all half dead, and the tops of the trees were basically dead, without exception.The fact that elms are alive and well, reminds Zhang Hanqing of some areas with harsh natural conditions in Xinjiang, northern Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia, where elms are also widely distributed.After Mr. Mao Dun finished writing "Praise of Poplar", maybe he should write "Praise of Elm Tree".A tree with such a strong ability to survive is worthy of praise.I don't understand why the Mongolians don't regard elms as green trees. I remember that the green trees in some streets in Urumqi and Lanzhou are the number of elms, which are very lush. "When you have time, you must plant some elm trees in the city. Planting more trees can keep out the wind and sand." He thought to himself.

When a gust of wind blew up, Zhang Hanqing's eyes were fascinated by the wind and sand. He rubbed the sand in his eyes vigorously and thought to himself, what method can be used to rub the sand out of the eyes of Mongolian independence forever?
