Chapter 59 Tangnu Wulianghai

After consolidating the Northern Territory, the "Anmeng Army" must first eliminate the remnants of Tsarist Russia entrenched in the Tannu Urian Sea, in order to send a clear signal to the Soviet Russian government.This was Zhang Hanqing's wish in his previous life.

Tangnu Ulianghai was originally a part of Outer Mongolia. Its distribution area is generally located in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in southern Siberia. It is located in the northwest of Outer Mongolia and the south of Siberia. It is a narrow strip between two mountains, with a distance of 420 kilometers from north to south and 630 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers. From the 6th to the 8th centuries, Tuva belonged to the Turkic Khanate, and was annihilated by the Muslims. In the 9th century, the Kyrgyz drove out the Hui people again. Genghis Khan occupied this place in the 13th century, and it has belonged to China since the 13th century. It was ruled by the Manchus in 1819, and it was included in the Russian protectorate in 1914.In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Tangnu Wulianghai, with Zuoling 48. It was divided into Dingbian Zuo Deputy General of Uliasutai in Outer Mongolia, Jebtsundamba Great Living Buddha, Zhasaktu and Sanyin Nuoyan. department.

From 1860 to 1911, Tsarist Russia colonized Tannu Ulianghai in the name of "exploration" and "mining", and introduced a large number of Russian immigrants to develop the economy of Tannu Ulianghai.In the third year of Tongzhi, China and Russia signed the "Tacheng Treaty" (that is, the "Sino-Russian Exploration and Division of the Northwest Boundary Agreement"), and they were cut off from the ten Zuo territories in the northwest of Tangnu Wulianghai. In 1912, Tsarist Russia took advantage of Outer Mongolia's attempt to become independent and directly annexed Tangnu Ulianghai. On December 1916, 12, as Russia was busy with the First World War, the Republic of China decided to let Ulia Su Taizuo lead the Commissioner and take charge of Tannu Ulianghai affairs and resume the exercise of sovereignty over the area. From 28 to 1918, Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Republic of China sent troops to expel the remnants of Tsarist Russia entrenched in the Tannu Ulianghai area, and took the opportunity to take back the Tannu Ulianghai. In 1919, Tannu Ulianghai was incorporated into the Soviet Union and has been ruled to this day.At that time, the total population was about 1920, and most of the residents were concentrated in the basins and river valleys between the mountains.Russians and Russian-speaking residents live densely, mainly in the capital city of Kyzyl (about 20 people).The main ethnic groups include Tuva (51000%), Russian (77%), and a small amount of Komi and Khakas, with a male to female ratio of 20:1.

The Tuva people are a branch of the Mongols. There are two main origins of their ethnicity, one is Tiele-Turks, and the other is Xianbei-Mongols.They were called Wuliangha people in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and they were translated as "Wulianghai" in Qing Dynasty, which is another source of Tuva people.Later, they migrated to the Tangnu Wulianghai area and were renamed Tuwa or Tuwa people.Another point of view is that the Tuvans belong to a branch of the Turks, and the evidence includes that the Tuvan language is recognized as belonging to the Turkic language family rather than the Mongolian language family.

The Tuva people are divided into two types, one is the mountain-plain animal husbandry (western Tuva) and the deer hunter in the alpine forest (eastern Tuva).They lived in the old way: selling salt, nomadic, herding and hunting were their traditional occupations.Since the 17th century, the Tuvans have been under a growing Russian cultural influence.The traditional social structure of the Tuva people is based on the clan system, and their traditional religious belief is a product of a mixture of Yellow Sect and Lamaism, so they are mainly Lamaists and Shamanists.

Its capital, Kyzyl, was built in 1914 and was renamed after the Soviet occupation in 1926. The name of the city means "red".It is located at the confluence of the Yenisei River and the southern border with Mongolia.It is the northernmost city in the Tangnu Wulianghai area.At that time, the population was about 6, and the main population was from Mongolia.

If we don't take this time to complete the feat of liberating the entire territory of Mongolia, when will we wait?So Zhang Hanqing took Guo Songling to stay in Kulun to carry out political, military, and economic reforms, and personally led the main force of Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade and the special warfare brigade led by Ji Yiqiao to march westward along the Orkhon River, across Lake Kuvugul, and in Kezi Le defeated the remnants of Tsarist Russia and recovered 36 leaders in the central and eastern regions.Since the Soviet Russian army in the north was fighting the White Russian army, a cavalry brigade sent troops to the northwest without much resistance, and easily restored the territory of the Northwest Shizuo territory.

Originally, there was no need for a few rogues to lead the troops in person, and they were heavy troops.But Zhang Hanqing has another meaning: it is said that Saibei is a bitter and cold place. In his previous life, he said that Tangnu Wulianghai was a barren land on the domestic website. Relying on this so-called "barren land"?Looking at the Far East, Sakhalin Island, the banks of Lake Baikal, Lake Issyk-Kul, Lake Balkhash, etc., where is it not the best place?

Of course, the young marshal has another important task, which is to personally meet with Gao Jiyi, the director of the "Fengqing Bureau" who is still in Mobei, to discuss the major event that can bring great impetus to the development of the Feng family.It's just that this matter is still in a top secret state, and the generals including Zhang Chengde don't know about it.They really thought that the young marshal wanted to come and inspect the feng shui of northern Xinjiang in person, so that they could make a big splash in the propaganda and leave a name in the history.

From the south to the north, wherever you go, the customs of Asia and Europe can be clearly distinguished by the residence: traditional residences include felt yurts, which are used by various tribes in the steppe; It is the usual residence of the inhabitants of Siberia.

The local people who have worked here for generations are extremely indifferent to the concept of "Wang Shi" and "government", and many people still stay in the understanding of Manchu Qing.They looked at the officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade as if they were looking at the scenery. They were surprised by these Han people without braids. Apart from the fierce horse, my ancestors did not have this kind of craftsmanship.

Tangnu Wulianghai is mainly based on agriculture, but also contains rich mineral deposits: non-ferrous metals, rare earths, stone coal, asbestos, iron ore, gold, mercury and various building materials.Because most of the rivers flow through the mountains, there are abundant hydroelectric resources (estimated at 8 gigawatts), and there are more than 50 carbonate-bearing hot springs.Timber resources in the Northeast are also extremely rich, with a total reserve of 1 million cubic meters.

After field research, Zhang Hanqing divided the whole region into three basic economic zones: with Kelezi as the center - the most densely populated area, including Kizil, Akdo Vulak, and Qaidan; there are many rivers in the south, which can be used as an important The agricultural and animal husbandry area; the northeast area is suitable for wood processing, deer hunting and fishing areas.Along the way, there are barren mountains and deserts, and not a single sapling can be seen. Suddenly seeing so many dense trees and countless winding rivers with sufficient water flow, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion: I am still a smart old man. !

He secretly made up his mind that this Tangnu Wulianghai would not only be able to defeat him, but also defend it well.The huge Mongolia can only be used as a strategic buffer for mainland China.Keeping Tannu Wulianghai is like a sharp knife inserted into Russia's heart. When China becomes stronger in the future, will Soviet Russia also set aside a place on their territory as their strategic buffer?

According to Zhang Hanqing's order, Kizil was changed to Tangnu City, the residential area was expanded to Xituwa City [-] kilometers away from Tangnu City, North Tuva City was built in the northeast corner, and Nantuwa City was built on the south bank of the Yeseni River.The "Anmeng Army" cavalry brigade Tangjuwu regiment was stationed separately, and at the same time, the Mongolian provincial government was ordered to send Mongolian administrative personnel and some people's party cadres to Tangnu to carry out Tangnu construction.

Because he wanted to appease Horqin and other ministries, Zhang Chengde sent a radio station to Tang Juwu to station in Tangnu City to facilitate contact with Kulun.He led his troops to the south and returned all the way along Khobduo and Uliasutai. At the source of the Orkhon River, he also met with great fanfare with the princes of the Checheerleg League who agreed with Mongolia's return to the central government.However, when these Mongolian princes wanted to witness the young marshal's demeanor with tears in their eyes, Zhang Chengde regretfully informed them that due to overwork, the young marshal was sick and unable to see guests.And according to Zhang Hanqing's previously planned Mongolian strategy, I have wiped out my troops and prepared to make a big move in the northwest, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time.The young marshal was very moved by the kindness of the princes, and also praised their decision to turn to Wang Hua.

Because the previous Fengwan was dirty, and the Zhili line was ready to move.In order to divide and direct the government, and ease the negative consequences of the central government's withdrawal of the "Three Eastern Provinces Tour Envoy" in the "May [-]th Movement", after the war, the central government took the opportunity to reward Zhang Zuolin a lot: "Take Zhang Zuolin as the strategy for Mongolia and Xinjiang. Envoys, all plans to suppress and appease are given full power and acted cheaply. Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar...are all...all under the control of the economic and strategic envoy...." In fact, it admitted that the Fengjun's control of the four areas outside the customs Zhang Zuolin was very proud of his military occupation.
