Chapter 696 The song echoes both sides of the Hami River
It has been almost a month since the Northern Navy conquered the entire East Xinjiang Road. After Liu Sheng and Fan Tong arrived at the Gucheng area with the large troops, they set up their command in Qitai. The four regiments of the Cavalry Brigade were divided into two parts, stationed in Huining City and Hami in Zhenxi Prefecture. Since Zhenxi Prefecture and Hami were both Man and Han, the two cities of Manhui were actually a regiment in charge of a city.
The takeover work after every siege of the city is complicated and trivial, and the North Navy General Staff even specially compiled a manual.
Simply put, the basic procedures after entering the city are nothing more than taking over the granary, silver treasury and pavilion treasury, and at the same time publishing notices for the people's peacekeeping, placing a sign to establish a military control committee, and stabilizing the economic and living order of the people inside and outside the city. In addition, the preliminary personnel identification of the captives, surrendered Qing army and yamen officials must be conducted based on the list.
The Qing army, who completed the inspection in batches, could not leave them idle, otherwise it would be easy to fight and cause trouble, so building roads and rectifying barracks became inevitable choices. Anyway, the traffic conditions under the Qing Dynasty were all the same as those in Beijing, and even the city of Beijing was just like that. The loess mattresses day after day made it muddy when rained and snow, and when they dried, they became flooded with soil.
The widening and hardening of the roads in the city can be busy for several months, not to mention other urban transformations such as sewers, public toilets, and tree planting. With the timely distribution of rations and even wages, the mood of prisoners and surrendered soldiers will soon stabilize, at least the family members will not have to go hungry.
Xinjiang East Road is not like the inner gate. Although it is large in size, it has only six cities in total. In addition, there are Kai'an City and Mulei City, which are military fortresses. The Western Front Command has already prepared sufficient manpower, so everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
During this period, the North Navy did not have much contact with the local people. Liu Sheng and Fan Tong also issued a special order, strictly ordering all departments of the North Navy not to enter the mosque, not to urinate and defecate next to the mosque, and not to eat pork products outside the military camp, etc.
Since the Qing Dynasty implemented the Han-Rui quarantine policy in Xinjiang, aiming to prevent the sinicization of ethnic minorities, most people did not understand Chinese and everyone passed their own. Their tribute and mission targets were only targeted at Huiwang.
Taking into account the obstacles of language communication, Fan Tong asked the military control committees in the three places to convene mullahs from surrounding villages to appease these people, and promoted the relevant policies of the North Navy with "equality and solidarity" as the core. In addition, each village also distributed 2,000 kilograms of winter food.
The Northern Navy's move surprised the Mullahs. Although they did not know much about the origin of this "rebel" and they still need to wait and see everything, it is still good to have food in the middle of winter, and you can also gain a wave of people by bringing it back to the village.
While the Military Control Commission was busy stabilizing the local situation, the Northern Navy stationed in various cities was also busy from morning to night, especially the officers at the company level. In addition to maintaining public order and conducting daily training, they also had to attend local language classes for one hour every night. The person responsible for local language classes was a poster that had served as "common affairs" in the offices of ministers in various places.
Originally, after the city was broken, the people were both hated and afraid of the Northern Navy. But they soon discovered something that shocked them; that was, there were actually many former Han, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in the Northern Navy, not to mention that the chief and deputy brigade commander of the Cavalry Brigade were also from the Eight Banners Manchus.
This is too subversive! It hurts to pinch your thighs, and you don’t dream!
The Military Control Commission pays these "teachers" a salary of 10 yuan Beihai silver dollars per month, plus 120 kilograms of barley noodles or barley. If they are done well, they will not only become official personnel of the Military Control Commission in the future, but each family will also be divided into 50 acres of land.
The reason why such good conditions is mainly because these letters are the ones who know the following situations best. Since most of them are familiar with the language of the Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian and Wei, they do things that are directed by orders and sentiments from the lower level can directly affect the decisions of ministers in various places.
Of course, when these people were under the Qing Dynasty, they often colluded with Taiji and Burke, who were in charge of Uyghur civil affairs, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and bullied the people. Therefore, before appointing them, they must have a warning to let them know that if they accept bribes and oppress the people, the mildest ones will go to build roads with the prisoners, and the severe ones will be sent to Siberia.
It is hard to say whether this conversation has "touched the depths of the soul". Anyway, the brains of the people who wrote and posted were buzzing, and they were all terrified.
The matter of allowing the officers and soldiers of the troops entering Xinjiang to master the local language was decided as early as when Liu Sheng and Fan Tong formulated the combat plan. Fan Tong issued a mobilization order specifically in the name of the Political Department, and even brought in the "mobile flag" system in another time and space. For officers who were not good at studying, they directly criticized them.
You should know that the language is not clear. The North Navy can't even drive various meetings, let alone mobilizing locals. He was spitting on the stage with great enthusiasm for a long time and didn't know what you were talking about. Even if you opened a warehouse and released grain, no one would come to collect it.
Furthermore, the gains and losses of the Qing Dynasty's governance experience of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in another time and space have proved that force locals to learn Chinese, while the Han people do not learn local languages, can only deepen the gap between the two sides.
In another time and space history, starting from the late Tongzhi period, the Qing court vigorously promoted Confucianism, established charity schools, and promoted education in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and conducted more than 20 years. Although it enhanced cultural dissemination to a certain extent, its most important contribution was to create a large number of translators. The people should not have enough food or food, and continued to live a dark and impoverished life.
Those who were forced to go to the charity school even shouted, "Hu Da Hu Da, why should I abuse me!"
In fact, the reason why Confucian education and imperial examinations are difficult to implement in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is that the traditional classical education has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ethnic minorities have a resistance to Confucian education from the bottom of their hearts. The so-called "as soon as they enter the school, people are called abducting the teachings, and they all look at it differently."

You said he was illiterate, and people said I played the letters of "Arib" in elementary school; you told him that the history of China is great, and people said I had "Dulike" that specifically talked about the history of the Western Regions; you said that you wanted to learn Confucian classics, and people said that I had "Kuluan". In addition, medical books include "Tipuchitapu", agricultural books include "Lisala"; Yin-Yang divination "Rusnamo"...
In short, because it is located on the Silk Road, the Western Regions have been influenced by Eastern and Western cultures for thousands of years, and have learned from their strengths and weaknesses and formed their own system. It is absolutely impossible to deal with the "Zhihuzhe" of Confucian culture. Only those who do practical things like Lin Zexu will be praised for their continued praise.
The Northern Navy who came to take local language classes were all instructors and officers at the first level of the company and platoon. In order to keep the internal secrets within the military camp, the classroom was set up in the second hall of the Hami Office Minister's Office. They learned from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock every day. The specific contents included daily interactions, customs and habits of Uyghurs and Kazakhs, diet, taboos in conversations, etc.
After a week, everyone was dizzy and many people even dreamed of "Axim Seth", "Rett", "Arkham", "Atam" and so on. Even when walking in the military camp during the day, they could meet the guys muttering in their mouths.
The Northern Navy actually learned Uyghur language! This surprised Shadick, who had been receiving treatment in the regiment headquarters' medical department, very much. However, it also made him more convinced Yunyan's words: "Our team is different from all the officers and soldiers."
Speaking of which, after Shadick returned to Hami with Yunyan's team, he first went to the company headquarters to report. When he learned that Yunyan had made a friend of the Uyghur, he attached great importance to it from the company headquarters to the regiment headquarters, and then he called the best military doctor in the regiment to treat his eyes.
It is said that the Northern Navy has been established for so many years, but it is still in its infancy in military medicine. At present, most of the military doctors in each unit are actually at the level of ordinary battlefield lifeguards. They usually have to undergo a year of intensive training, and the main teaching content is a book about a "Barefoot Doctor Manual" revised by Hong Tao and Wu Xianhou, which basically ranges from head to toe, from internal medicine to surgery, from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine. Anyway, as long as you are brave, you dare not greet me if you don't have any illness.
After examination, the military doctor found that Shadick's eyes were not completely blind, and his left eye had a little weak vision. Since the military doctor often treated herders in Kobdo and had seen many eye diseases, he judged that Shadick's condition was because he was locked in the darkroom environment of the dungeon for a long time, which caused optic nerve atrophy and blindness.
Unfortunately, the nerve tissue cannot be regenerated and cannot be repaired once it is damaged. The only treatment method at present is to use eye drops to increase the outflow of water atrium and reduce intraocular pressure. Considering that eye drops have side effects and may even have allergic reactions to some people, it must be monitored at any time, so Sadick had to stay in the medical center.
After two weeks of treatment with Chinese medicine and eye drops, Shadick's condition in his left eye improved and he could see a blurred figure. This made him very excited, with endless joy and gratitude.
However, after another week, the military doctor's frustrated discovery was limited to this. He originally wanted to send a telegram to Beihai Town Central Hospital to ask Wu Xianhou for advice, but Shadick could no longer wait, so he insisted on going back to his hometown to take a look.
In desperation, Yunyan and the others had to accompany Shadick to the village of Altunglek several miles northwest of the royal palace.
As soon as he entered the village, Shadick knelt on the ground excitedly, kissed the land, then held up his hands, and said to himself: "My Allah! Fate arranged for me to travel around, and now I have met a kind-hearted person to take me back to my hometown. Thank God!"
His actions attracted the attention of a passing villager. He was a Uyghur woman dressed in a very thick and covered her head with a cloth scarf on her head. With a vigilant and curious look, she looked up and down at Yunyan and the others in military uniform, and then looked at Shadick in a new cotton robe.
After looking at it for a while, the woman's eyes gradually widened, and she showed an incredible look. She walked up to her and asked in a low voice: "Sodyk?"
"Who?"
When the woman saw the other party responding, she felt a sense of sorrow in her heart and said tremblingly: "My Allah! It turns out that it is really you!"
Shadick got up and approached the woman, looked at her left eye with his left eye, shook his head, and asked in a sigh, "My eyes are dry, and only vague shadows can be seen in the left eye. Who are you?"
"Shadick, I am Sharhan, it's Sharhan of your elder brother Apizi! You are still alive!"
“Sharhan…”
"Do you remember your elder brother Apizi? The Revav on your back," the woman hurriedly walked around Shadick's back and looked at him in a sure tone, "Isn't this the gift he gave you after you were released?"
Shadick was stunned for a moment, then showed an excited expression, grabbed the woman's arm with both hands, and said excitedly: "Bless by Allah, is Brother Apizi still alive? How is Little Mohetar? Have you grown up?"
"You haven't forgotten, Shadick!" Shahrhan wiped the tears shed from excitement and said with a smile: "They are all safe. Mohetar is strong and strong, and he is already a young man as tall as a wall!"
The woman was excited and said Brabra as if she was setting off firecrackers. Sodick finally took advantage of her pause to breathe and called Yunyan and others over and introduced each other.
At first, Shaerhan was very alert to Yunyan and others, and spoke with caution. Until Shadick told him about how he knew Yunyan and others and how the North Navy treated him, she was relieved and then enthusiastically invited everyone to visit her house.
The news that Shadick was still alive was spread throughout the village that night with the woman's loud voice. Those who knew and did not know, anyone who had heard of his name, came to visit. With Shadick's translation, Yunyan and others quickly became a group with the villagers.

"Sadyk is a homeless man, and his heart is endless. As soon as my mother opened her eyes, Taiji's cage locked me up. If youth is compared to flowers, the buds of my youth have not bloomed, the good times have passed, and the days of enslavement will never end. The cruel Burke has no heart and soul, sucking my blood and sweat dry. The cruel Burke is so cruel that I peel my skin to wear! I do my work day and night, and I can't eat a hot meal without covering my clothes. I meet my beloved Riley Guli, but I was killed by Taiji on the bank of the river.
I am alone, wandering, and my footprints are covered with thousands of villages and villages. It is pitch black everywhere, and I can't find a sky where the poor live! Bayiboke's heart is the same, and I force the rent to pay and donate. Kazimaola is also a wolf in human skin, holding the code to abuse his power. Bayiboke's heart is really poisonous, and he drinks our blood as tea. Young girls, innocent children, and many lives have been destroyed. Thinking of these sufferings and difficulties, the aura of a rage is ignited in his chest. If you don't chop Taiji into meat sauce, the deep hatred of blood is not over!"
Shadick couldn't finish singing. His Revavqin became more and more sad and angry, and he kept singing until late at night. Although the weather was cold outside, not long after, the house, yard, and even the door of Apizi's house were full of people.
Some people kept shook their heads and sighed, some were holding their anger and unwillingness tightly into their weak fists; however, some were breathing rapidly, trembling all over, and blood was jumping in the chest that was close to their bones.
Until the end of the end, Shadick sang: "The oriole that has not passed through the severe winter, but how bright spring is; if anyone can help us escape from the sea of suffering, only the army that crossed the Tengger Mountains. Hu Da is really strange, and he created the angels and the devil. Listen to it, everyone, I hope my song can be winged and spread throughout the mountains and rivers along the Hami River."
What everyone present unexpectedly expected was that this folk song spread throughout the villages around the city in just a few days. Countless Uyghur people were filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, and at the same time turned their curious and puzzled eyes to the Northern Navy. Everyone was wondering, can this army really take us out of the sea of suffering?
