The next morning, Shadick planned to say goodbye and leave. He felt that he was a blind man, and he couldn't help with any physical work, and he was very sorry for eating and taking it. However, Yunyan urged him to stay for the time being and wait until he was recovered before leaving.

Shadick actually had nowhere to go, so he stayed in Wujiazhuang. In the days that followed, Yunyan and Tiemur still left early and returned late, leaving two people to guard the house every day. Although the identity of the caravan was to protect him, he had to behave himself. Moreover, the radio station hidden in the goods was very important and someone had to guard it.

After a few days, the people in the team found that the Uyghur had a very good ear and could hear any movement in the yard, even if a mouse slipped through the corner. The so-called "blind eyes and bright heart" refers to people like him.

Over time, Samuba, the radio operator who stayed in the team every day, would occasionally hum some Mongolian folk songs, which made Samuba feel very novel. In fact, there are also many Mongolians on the East Road of Xinjiang, such as many of them among the Eight Banners soldiers everywhere. Samuba has also heard them humming Mongolian long tunes, but Samuba has never heard of it.

"In the beautiful grassland, my home, the wind blows the green grass and flowers everywhere, colorful butterflies fly and hundreds of birds sing, the clear water reflects the sunset, the horses look like colorful clouds, and the cattle and sheep are like pearls sprinkled..."

In addition to Mongolian songs, Samuba and others also sing some "three major disciplines" in Chinese, which made Shadick confused. He could understand what a soldier was, but he would not take a stitch or thread, and he would not be allowed to search his pockets, and compensate him according to the price... Are there any such officers and soldiers in the world? Anyway, he had never encountered them.

As a wandering singer, Shadick would naturally ask about the origin of these songs, but every time he was vaguely distracted from the topic by Samuba and said that he only heard it.

There was more than that confusing Shadick. Every day it was dark, Samuba would go to the house full of goods next door. After he entered, a strange "drip" sound would be heard there; although the sound was very light, it was quite rhythmic, and it lasted for a while, and it would last for a while before stopping.

This Mongolian caravan is so strange!

When the injury on his feet was almost healed, Shadick decided that it was time to leave and could not continue to cause trouble for others. So when they came back in Yunyan and the others tonight, he told the other party.

Yunyan finished listening silently and asked, "It's such a cold sky, where are you going?"

"I want to go back to Yihe City to have a look. Don't worry about me. In the words of the Han people, I am one person full and the whole family is not hungry. Haha~"

In the official title of the Qing court, Balikun was called "Yihe", and Yihe City was a city of Guo, and Zhenxi Prefecture was also there. As for Huining City in the southeast, it is the city where the Eight Banners garrisons were located, which is where Yunyan and they often appear in these days.

As the captain of the team, Yunyan knew the next move of the troops. He was worried that Shadick would be involved in the war, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Shadick, have you heard of the Northern Navy in the grassland in the north?"

Shadick shook his head in a daze, then said, "Is it Bogda Khan's army? Is there a war in the north?"

Although Beihai Town occupied Khalka and captured Kobdo, the two places were thousands of miles apart and were separated by the vast Gobi and Tianshan Mountains. Besides, since the Northern Navy occupied Kobdo, the business road leading from there to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains has been cut off.

Yunyan smiled and said, "The Northern Navy was not sent by Bogda Khan, it was specially used to attack them."

Shadick said in surprise: "Why?"

Timur interrupted: "Help the poor drive away the princes who oppress the people, Taiji and the officers and soldiers, and make decisions for the poor."

Shadick said in surprise: "There are officers and soldiers in the world who make decisions for the poor? Are you kidding?"

"Of course there is! The days on the grassland are very different now than before." Tiemur's tone was extremely affirmative, and he said with unsatisfactory: "In a short time, they will call over. Brother Shadick, your life is about to avenge you too!"

Shadick suddenly realized something. He grabbed Yunyan's arm and said tremblingly: "Tell me quickly!"

Well, the reason why Yunyan advised Shadick not to go to Yihe was because they received a telegram from the battalion last night. The above informed them that the two regiments of the main force planned to launch a surprise attack on Yihe and Huining City on the 18th day of the lunar calendar, and defeated them in one fell swoop.

And today is October 15th. If Shadick goes, he will definitely be in trouble.

The reason why the cavalry troops of the Northern Navy delayed so long after taking the ancient city area was because in order to seize the time, the cavalry brigade rushed by one person and two horses every day. Although the mission was completed, the result was that the baggage team and the large army were far behind. The two sides were more than ten days apart. After that, another snowstorm came, and the operation time had to be postponed.

Fortunately, although the cavalry brigade did not move, it left the baggage team behind, so there was no need to worry about the food and grass.

The ancient city area has ushered in the period of agricultural development since the 24th year of Qianlong's reign. More than 30 years have passed. Now, in Qitai alone, there are more than 10,000 acres of military garrisons, and more than 40,000 acres of commercial garrisons.

According to the news obtained by the Beijing Intelligence Station from Ruan Yuan last year, the total amount of grain stored in the entire Zhendidao (Zhenxi Prefecture, Dihua Zhili Prefecture, and under the Gansu Provincial Administration) is as high as more than 500,000 stones; and the Cavalry Brigade found as much as 500,000 stones of barley, barley and peas in the official warehouses of Fuyuan City, Jingyuan City, and Mulei City, which indirectly confirmed this information.

Besides, if the food and supplies are really insufficient, can’t we still summon the “North Sea Divine Beast”!

On November 24, 1793, when more than 3,000 cavalry from the two regiments of the Northern Navy appeared leisurely at Huining City and Yihe City, the Qing army in the two cities was shocked. The shrill sound of gongs sounded at the top of the city, and the city gates were then closed tightly, and a lot of wood and debris were blocked.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! General Baricun Helun, who guarded Yihe City, and the leader and the minister guarding Huining City, were all stunned when they heard the news. When they learned that the North Navy was coming from the north, they realized that the ancient city must have been lost at almost the same time, but then they broke out in cold sweat.

Even if there was a blizzard a few days ago, the road was difficult to walk, but Mulei City was less than a hundred miles away from Balikun, why didn’t the wind come at all!

Balikun's Eight Banners and Green Camp did not know much about the Northern Navy, and many people had only heard of it. Although Helun and Hehe had known more, they were limited to letters from the capital and news collected from the Tang Dynasty. Previously, the left-level general Baoning, led the remaining troops to flee south, which made them nervous for a while, but two years passed, and the Northern Navy remained silent, which also made the defenders in various places in Zhendidao relax.

The Northern Hai Army did not shoot the city as soon as it came up, but shot a letter of surrender at the top of the city. Although Helun knew that the situation was not good, he was a veteran after all. He had fought against Myanmar with Fu Heng, fought against Jinchuan with Agui, and made many military achievements. How could he be willing to surrender? He immediately recruited the brave merchants and horse teams in the city and gathered more than 5,000 people; the same was true for the promotion in Huining City, and began to mobilize all the people in the city, regardless of men, women, young and old, to prepare to defend the city.

In addition, the two planned to send people to sneak out of the city after dark and ask for help from Hami and Wulumuqi respectively.

But they didn't know that the post roads leading from Balikun to various places have been cut off by the Northern Navy, and the vanguards have also put on makeup and become Qing troops, guarding the post station waiting for the people who delivered the letter to come to the door.

When the Qing army in the two cities saw from the picture sent back from the drone, not only did not intend to surrender, but also summoned Min Yong, Deputy Brigade Commander Bayan immediately ordered the firing.

The cavalry unit brought all the mortars this time, so the sound of fire was very small, but the noise that fell on the city wall was too loud!

The successive explosions scared the soldiers and civilians in the city. The Qing army on the top of the city thought that the Northern Hair Army was going to attack the city, so they immediately fired artillery and fought back. But after a long time of fighting, they found that nothing had been hit. The Northern Hair Army was still staying more than a mile away!

The artillery fire that covered the sky and the sun caused the defenders on the city to die, and the wounds, whether they were thousands of kilograms of cannons or more than 100 kilograms of cannons, were all blown up.

At this time, the North Navy outside the city began to move. They sent two platoons, and under the cover of several machine guns, they rushed straight to the city gate with explosives. The remaining defenders on the city were about to shoot arrows, but they were hit by the crackling rain of bullets and suffered heavy casualties.

With a huge explosion, a big hole was blown out of the gate of Huining City in amazement. Seeing this, the leader of the team leader Baricun and Sheng'er drew their swords and rushed into the smoke-filled city gate, ready to follow the enemy troops. Unexpectedly, the enemy did not encounter it. When the smoke spread, two dark muzzles appeared outside the hole of the city gate. In a burst of bullets as dense as rain, dozens of people fell into the gate gate.

The Yihe City on the other side was similar. With a huge explosion at the city gate, Min Yong, who was gathering, immediately dispersed. The frightened horses also ran around the city and kept neighing.

Seeing that his subordinates were seriously injured, General Helun knew that the situation was going to go, so he sent someone to inform the governor Shu Yonga, and then returned to the General Office sadly. Surrender was absolutely impossible. All he could do was to kill his wife, concubine and children first, set a fire in General Office's Mansion, and then wipe his neck.

Shu Yonga, the prefect of Zhenxi Prefecture, and the county magistrate of Yihe County, learned that the city was broken in a blink of an eye, and his face was ashamed. Shu Yonga was Balikun, who had been in the fifty years of Qianlong's reign, and he did not understand the power of the Northern Navy at all, let alone the magistrate of Yihe County. These two people also had the belief of never surrendering, and the whole family hanged themselves and burned themselves.

Although the resistance in Huining Mancheng was over, the troops outside the city did not rush to enter the city, but sent people to climb up to the top of the city and broadcast Anmin notification back and forth through electric speakers in Mongolian and Mandarin. The reason for this was that when the city of Fuyuan was attacked, the people of the people in the city and the soldiers and their families were afraid of being slaughtered, so they first fought street battles with the North Hai army, and then set fire to themselves.

It's really unnecessary!

On November 26, 1793, after two days of rest, Bayan ordered a regiment to stay in Zhenxi Prefecture, and he led a regiment to set out towards Hami.

Now there is only one channel connecting the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is the "Tianshan Panda" that passes through Heikanling. Although the total length is only 35 miles, Heikanling, which is 3,000 meters above sea level, is a must-pass route and cannot be avoided. The climate there is strange and changeable, and even the locals cannot say when a blizzard will come.

Bayan led 1,500 cavalrymen and took two days to pass the Tianshan Trail in a dangerous situation, and appeared at the Nanshan Pass two days later. At this time, the Northern Navy no longer had to hide its tracks, and opened the banner openly, causing the Hami defenders to shake.

When Hami returned to King Erdesir, he heard the news, and was busy summoning military and civilians to defend the city on the surface and sent a letter of help to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. He himself fought Xiao Jiujiu and sent someone to contact the Northern Navy in private, and also sent local specialty Hami Melon.

You should know that the reason why Hami Kings could not fall for more than 200 years in history was that they had been guarding the East Gate of Xinjiang because they had seen it very clearly since the first generation of King Ebedura that they lacked their actual control and could only rely on big trees to seek benefits. Therefore, whenever the climate of the Wang family changes, they would surrender to different "benefactors", first the Yarkand Khanate, second the Junggar, and finally the Qing Dynasty.

Now that I change to Beihai Town, Erdesir also feels nothing. As long as his wealth can be guaranteed, the family's rule in Hami can continue, who else can I get along with?

His idea is actually a typical example of the Sophie Cult regime in the Hezhong area, who is desperately consolidating his own wealth advantages, only seeking two indicators of actual control and franchise, rather than territorial size.

As a descendant of the Mongols, King Hui, who claims to be a saint who fabricated his identity as a saint, became a local snake who was transcendent to the sect in the image of the unity of the gods and kings. Outsiders cannot drive him away, and he will not expand outward.

Although the Qing court implemented the county system in Hami, it adopted a restraining system for local grassroots ethnic internal affairs, which were generally managed by local Burke and Zhazak. Simply put, it is an administrative management system that integrates military and political affairs and uses the military to govern the government.

Although the Uyghur people in Hami area have also implemented the baojia household registration, it is just to prevent them from causing trouble. As long as they can ensure military control over Xinjiang East Road, even if they return to the Wang family, they will turn a blind eye to the fishing village. At most, they will do a few excessive reprimanding words.

However, Erdesir's abacus is destined to fail. Even if Beihai Town engages in the autonomy of internal ethnic affairs, it will never allow him to be a good person. Even if he sends 10,000 kilograms of cantaloupe, it will be useless!

Faced with the artillery fire of the Northern Navy, the Qing army of Hami was completely unable to resist. In just three days, Hami City and Huicheng were successively occupied by the Northern Navy, while Erdesir was strictly ordered to stay in the palace and not be allowed to go out.
