The staff officer asked in surprise: "What? Don't kill them! These horse bandits have committed a heinous crime. Shouldn't we kill them?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's not that you don't kill, but that you can't kill like this. Think about it. If you take a group of people to the downtown market tomorrow and shoot them, the common people will know who you shot? We must Make sufficient preparations before the shooting, at least hold a public trial meeting, and at least show it for a few days after the public trial."

The staff officer replied: "Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Lin Yuan said: "You go to those people in the firm tomorrow. Some of them must know the horse bandits. When they come out to testify, won't the common people understand?"

The staff officer agreed and went back to make preparations. After a while, the soldiers outside the city captured all the leaders of the horse bandits. The overnight battle was over. All the leaders of the horse bandits were captured and most of the minions were wiped out. Lin Yuan doesn't care about some fish that are leaking. After all, their number is too small to make a big difference, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to catch them with all their strength, which is really not worth the candle.

The next day, on October 10th, the staff department was contacting merchants to prepare for the public trial. Lin Yuan wanted to talk about reforms with the Mongolian princes and people in the monastery, but on second thought, he should still let them go For a few days, especially Zhe Bu Zun Danba, what I said to scare him yesterday must have worked, so wait a few more days, let the fear spread in his heart for a while, and then I will not worry that he will not support me.

Lin Yuan thought for a while, only to realize that there was nothing to do today. Just as he was thinking about what to do, a message from the defenders of Buha City came through the communicator: Sanduo, the Minister of the Qing court stationed in Kulun, was returning home. On the road to Kulun, we have reached the city of Buha today and are expected to arrive in Kulun in three days.

Lin Yuan was surprised when he saw the news, and thought to himself: "Sanduo? Why did he appear suddenly? I didn't see anyone from the Qing court on the way I came to Kulun." A prince called over and asked him, "Didn't you expel Sanduo after you declared your independence? Which way did he go?"

The prince replied: "He took a relatively secluded trade route in the east."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "No wonder I haven't met them. It turns out that they took a trade route with fewer people. It seems that they also know that it is a shame to be expelled by others, but what are they coming to Kulun now? Woolen cloth?"

Lin Yuan stood up while thinking, and walked in the yard. At this moment, a soldier suddenly sent Lin Yuan a telegram, saying that it was an urgent telegram from Emperor Guangxu. The content turned out to be to ask Lin Yuan to withdraw his troops and hand over Mongolia's military and political power to Sanduo, the original Minister of Affairs in Mongolia!

When Lin Yuan saw the telegram, he couldn't help but get angry, thinking: "We have stabilized the situation in Mongolia, and the Qing court actually let Sanduo take over the military and political power. Their wishful thinking is really loud!"

Lin Yuan quickly calmed down his anger and thought: "I still want to carry out reforms in Mongolia. The reforms will definitely abolish all the privileges of the corrupt officials of the Qing court. If Sanduo comes back, I will definitely have another heavy burden in the reforms." Restraints, no, absolutely can't let Sanduo come to Kulun!"

Lin Yuan thought silently: "Is there any way to make him go back to Beijing? Just deal with him severely so that he doesn't dare to come to Kulun, but if you deal with him yourself, isn't it obvious that you want to turn against the Qing court!" When he was in a difficult situation, his eyes fell on the guard's uniform, which immediately inspired Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "The horse bandits got our military uniform and then pretended to be us, this one Everyone knows the matter, I can clean up Sanduo and pass the responsibility to the horse bandits!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smirked for a while, called the telegraph operator over, and said, "I'm going to call back to Beijing: Your Majesty has personally informed that the situation in Kulun has been settled. I welcome the arrival of Lord Sanduo, and I'm waiting for you! Lin Yuan, Gregory October 1896, 10."

The telegraph operator did not leave after hearing Lin Yuan's words, but whispered to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, I have something to tell you, but I am a humble official, so I dare not say it."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "There are not so many rules in front of me, so it doesn't matter if you have something to say."

The telegraph operator said: "We worked so hard to reach Kulun, and drove the old man away. The people of the Qing court did nothing. Now they shamelessly send people to take over Kulun. Tell me, how can there be such a person in the world?" Reasonable, and most of the officials of the Qing court are corrupt officials, let them take over Mongolia, and the Mongolian people will suffer again."

Lin Yuan chuckled, and said, "This commander has his own arrangements, so you don't have to worry too much, go back and send a telegram." The telegraph operator nodded and left after hearing what Lin Yuan said, and when he left, Lin Yuan Then I thought to myself: "Since I want to pretend to be a horse bandit to fight Sanduo, then I will ride a horse. If I drive a tank, I will be exposed all at once, and I need to find a reliable person for this matter, otherwise I will take this If this matter gets out, it will tear the skin off with the Qing court."

Lin Yuan thought over and over again, and decided to go with Zaheer and himself. Before looking for Zaheer, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I must first determine how many people are in Sanduo's guards, and then I can determine how many people I will take with me." So Lin Yuan contacted his subordinates in Buha and asked, "How many guards are there in Sanduo, and what is the equipment like?"

The subordinate replied: "Sanduo's guards used to have thousands of people, but because of the Mongolian rebellion, most of them were detained. Now there are less than 100 people under Sanduo's men. For equipment, the original good guns are all taken away by Mongolia. The insurgents stayed, and now all that's left are swords."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In this case, I can bring a dozen or so people." Lin Yuan then went to find Zaheer, and instead of directly talking about himself, he asked: "Zahir, what do you think the Qing court has done? How do your officials compare with me?"

Zaheer laughed loudly and said, "Shuai Lin, you really know how to joke. How can this be compared? You are a condor soaring in the blue sky, and they are even worse than bugs pushing dung balls!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Now there are officials in the Qing court who want to seize my power, what will you do?"

Zaheer lost his smile when he heard this, and said seriously: "Shuai Lin, I have a feeling that you are the savior of the poor in Mongolia. If the officials of the Qing court dare to take your power, I will kill him." Don't worry, Lin Shuai, I'm not in your army, even if they catch me, they won't implicate you!"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't be so serious, someone is going to take my power now, I want you to help me..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Zaheer knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "I will die for Commander Lin!" After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "It's 'I will die forever' again, it seems that this The big boss doesn’t know any other words.” Lin Yuan helped him up, and said with a smile: “You go to find ten cavalrymen, remember, you must find your most reliable brother, the kind who won’t betray you even if you kill them Brothers of man! Let's do this together!"

Zaheer stood up, patted his chest and said, "Commander Lin, don't worry, my brothers Zaheer are all like this." Soon Zaheer found ten big men, and Lin Yuan said, "Take One day's food and water, and three horses for each person, we're leaving now."
