Chapter 698: Soldiers surround Berk's Mansion

Why did the blanket weaving craftsmen commit suicide? Who forced them to death? The villagers who came to hear the news were puzzled and discussed for a while.

Some people said that it was no wonder that there was such a big noise in the village last night, and none of the couple came out. Some people said that when they passed by the door last night, they heard crying sounds coming from inside. They thought it was sad for Shadick. When everyone worked together to remove the couple's body from the beam and prepare to carry it into the house, they found that the orphan child was still sleeping soundly on the earthen kang in the house.

As everyone sighed, a young villager finally couldn't help but say, "Yesterday, when Mr. Burke came...I, I seemed to see him enter this yard."

The villagers now understand everything. Not to mention it, it must be Shakzapal's old problem that has been dealt with again!

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Yunyan and other Northern Navy. A few days ago, this young man and his companions sent Shadick back. When everyone was talking at the Apizi family, it was also the young man who said that he was on the side of the poor.

While the villagers were observing Yunyan and others, Wang Rong was also observing the villagers. He found that older people were shaking their heads and sighing, and only a few young Uyghurs looked indignant. But even so, none of them stood up to seek justice.

"It seems like Shadick said that Burke has too much power. The people returning to Xinjiang have been accustomed to being beaten to the ground for many years. If we don't preside over justice for them, who else can they count on?"

According to the theory, the Qing Dynasty abolished Burke's hereditary system and changed it to an appointment system. The appointment power was in the hands of ministers in various places. Burkes should obey the orders and their power should also operate under the strict surveillance and constraints of the Qing system.

However, the fact is that none of the ministers in various places appointed by the Qing court understand Uyghur, and even the staff are the same. Therefore, when they arrived in Xinjiang, they could only rely on these Burkes to control the Uyghur community, resulting in excessive power among Burkes, and constraints and supervision became empty words on paper.

Although the Qing court also promulgated some regulations, they were all principled rhetoric and had no specific details. If the ministers in charge of work were attentive, the Burkes would be more restrained; if they did not do anything, they would turn a blind eye to the public grievances below and turn a blind eye to the people. As long as there was no trouble, they would let the Burkes eat the people.

For example, all the yamen in all major and small back Xinjiang under the Qing Dynasty had a lot of administrative expenses, and the shortcomings were provided by Burke. These Burkes often used the name of a mission to force the levy; the ministers asked for one stone of food, while the Burkes sent hundreds of stones to make profits.

In addition, the land of Huijiang is large and small, and the land is surplus, and the three-year rotation is generally implemented. However, Burkes asked his subordinates to plant the resting land, and the harvest belongs to them. If the resting land is not rotated, the land power will naturally decline and the output will be insufficient. However, Burkes do not care about the lives and death of the people, not only will the taxes be insufficient, but they will also collect more.

As for the women who are obliged to occupy their subordinates, they will change them when they are tired of playing, or even force them to death, it is not a problem at all. I don’t know how many things will happen in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains every day!

At this moment, Wang Rong was full of anger and his eyebrows were frowned into the word "chuan".

He was from Shangqiu County, Guide Prefecture, Henan Province. He has been in the Northern Navy for six years. In the 50th year of Qianlong's reign, the severe disaster in Shangqiu area was the most serious, and people were hungry and fed each other. His mother and two-year-old son were starved to death. As a result, they were dug up and eaten that night, and only a handful of bones were left.

After burying the remains of tears, he buried his bones again and took his father and wife to flee south. Who would have thought that his wife was kidnapped and his whereabouts were unknown. He and his father struggled to Kaifeng. Seeing that his father was almost hungry, he had to go to the market to plant grass as a mark, and then bought it by Xu Dayong.

He thought his experience was hard enough, but when he returned to Xinjiang, he found that the people here were living even harder; Burke's powerful and powerful did evil without any place to seek justice!

Wang Rong regretted that he was too anxious when he came out and did not bring a radio station, so he could only ask the communication soldiers to go back and report. This time, no matter how fast the speed of lightning was, it would take more than three hours.

Suddenly, everyone present felt a slight tremor on the ground beneath their feet, and then, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from afar. Wang Rong's face shook and immediately issued an order to be alert. Seeing this, the villagers around were silent.

After a while, a bright red jumped out of the horizon at the end of the woods two miles east. Then, about a hundred Northern Navy cavalry appeared in the telescope's field of view.

"Why did Erlian come?"

Wang Rong was a little surprised when he saw the banner of the Second Company. However, when he saw the second company commander Sun Desheng, he learned that the other party not only brought a field radio station, but even the Wei-language instructor named Guangfu came.

"The battalion commander saw that you were in a hurry and didn't bring a radio station, so he asked me to come."

Wang Rong's instinctive feeling was wrong. Although the radio station was expensive, it was impossible to use a company's troops. In front of everyone, he pulled Sun Desheng to a secluded place and asked, and then he learned about Shadick's affairs, even the deputy brigade commander Bayan knew about it. After hearing this, he was so angry that he cursed.

"Before I came out, I heard from the regiment commander that the deputy brigade commander had sent a telegram to the headquarters. Let's wait and see, this matter is a small matter!"

Wang Rong sighed, and told the story of the blanket weaving maker and his wife, and said angrily: "That Burke is really a damn death!"

After hearing this, Sun Desheng also said with anger: "Political Commissar Fan used to say that when he taught us, what will God destroy?"

Wang Rong was stunned for a moment, then woke up and said with a laugh and cry: "If God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy."

"Yes, yes! Just this sentence! According to our commander's temper, I think that Master Burke is probably not far from death!"

Wang Rong frowned and said, "For us, killing a vicious Burke is like crushing a bed bug to death, but don't forget the person standing behind him."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who? Are you talking about the people in the royal palace? As I said, I might as well just kill those guys, just like those Shangzhutba and Taiji in Khalkhagan!"

"Returning to Xinjiang is much more complicated than Khalkha, I heard..."

As the two were talking, the radio operator of the second company ran over and shouted: "Company Commander! We have contacted the regiment headquarters. The regiment commander is looking for you and Company Commander Wang!"

At this time, more than a dozen villagers from Altunglek Village stood dozens of steps away, watching Wang Rong's every move curiously, and saw him coming to a Beihaijun carrying a backpack. He first put a black thing on his head and said something loudly to a palm-sized thing.

"What is that adult doing? Why do you need to wear ear protection when you say something?"

"It's cold. Isn't the bannermen and soldiers going out like this before? What's so strange about it?"

"Mohetar, these soldiers wear so majestic. I wonder if they will accept us Uyghurs. If I can wear this outfit, that would be too arrogant!"

It has to be said that the cavalry of the Northern Navy are quite majestic in their clothes. They are covered with dark green diagonal striped military coats on their upper body, thick cotton hats with ear protection on their heads; they are wearing breeches made of twill canvas on their lower body, soft leather horse boots on their feet, and shiny spurs on them.

In terms of weapons and equipment, in addition to the Northern Navy's standard rifle in hand, the cavalry's weapons also carry a scabbard and the hilt of the knife are also dark green. This knife is imitated by the "Six-5 Cavalry Saber" of another time and space. It is made of martensitic stainless steel with a carbon content of 0.25%. The total length is 108cm, the blade length is 93cm, and the half-open edge is made.

"Yes, they are wearing very good clothes! Their muskets are different from those of Huiwang's men. I heard that they can fire many guns in a row. I heard that the squad leader Yun said that Bogdahan's soldiers knelt down and surrendered when they saw them."

"What are you thinking about? They are both Han and Mongolians, and the Qing soldiers in the past did not accept Uyghurs. Let's just farm honestly."

While the few people were talking, a rapid whistle suddenly sounded. In a blink of an eye, more than 200 Northern Navy cavalry had already started to line up and soon formed an extremely strict formation, looking murderous.

Wang Rong and Sun Desheng stood in front of their respective queues and waited for the reports under their subordinates to complete the report, and then informed the regiment headquarters of the orders.

"Receive the orders of the regiment headquarters! The first and second companies cooperated with the operation to surround Burke's mansion, arrested the murderers who killed Shadick and the blanket weaving family, Shakzapal and his minions! In addition, the Western Front Command ordered us to arrest people even if we go to heaven and earth!"

Buzz!!!

More than 200 Northern Navy soldiers present immediately became restless. Especially for the squad where Yunyan was located, Timur waved his fist hard and shouted excitedly, "That's great!"

"Quiet!" Wang Rong glanced seriously for a moment, waited for the queue to calm down, and continued: "If you encounter armed resistance during the arrest, you must have the consent of Company Commander Sun before you can fire the gun! In addition, I would like to remind some of you to pay attention! Do not use lynching, and you cannot do anything to cut off your heart and dig up the stomach! People should be taken back to Hami City for custody! If anyone dares to mess up the matter, they will be expelled from the army and go back to farm and herd cattle!"

After Wang Rong said that, he called Guangfu, the translator of Uyghur, who was on the other side, and asked him to tell the villagers what he said so that everyone could feel at ease. Guangfu quickly said yes, and even gave a not-standard gift. Then he walked to the location where the villagers were and said in Uyghur Brabra.

Even so, more than a dozen Uyghurs, including Apizi and his son, understood that Shakzapal was about to be finished, and all his faces showed excitement and tears burst out. They knelt on the ground and bowed to the officers and soldiers of the North Navy on their horses despite Guangfu's dissuasion.

Afterwards, the whole village was sensational. Except for the old men who closed the door and wiped the dead, no one disturbed them. Everyone else opened their mouths in surprise when they heard the news. The one they were going to catch was Mr. Burke!

"Let's go! Go and have a look!"

Apizi was worried about his old friend and couldn't swallow this, so he took the donkey from home. His wife Shaerhan was worried, so he asked his son Mohetar to follow him, but he knew that it was exactly what the other party wanted.

Several other bold villagers were also moved when they saw this, so some donkeys rode donkeys, some mules rode mules, and followed behind the North Navy with small steps.

The Burke Mansion in Shakzapal is less than five miles away from Altunglek Village, and only more than two miles away from returning to the royal palace. After a long time, the trembling servant said that Shakzapal was not at home and was unclear where he went.

Of course, Wang Rong would not believe the other party's words, so he immediately ordered an investigation into the mansion. Seeing the North Navy holding weapons rushing into Burke's Mansion with fierce momentum, the onlookers secretly applauded in their hearts.

Because he wanted to catch the murderer, the Northern Navy, who went in to search, naturally had no good face. Guangfu, who was a translator, had had a quarrel with Shakzapal before, had a harsh conversation when he asked.

The housekeeper, servant, and servant in Burke's mansion were so scared that he didn't dare to breathe. He just shook his head and said he didn't know. The women and children who were blocked in the backyard felt that they were in trouble and cried so scared.

Unexpectedly, dozens of Northern Navy soldiers searched the entire Burke Mansion, but they could not find Shakzapal at all. Later, Wang Rong asked Apizi and his son to identify the four servants who beat them, but only two were captured.

Wang Rong and Sun Desheng both secretly complained that something was wrong. At this time, Guangfu came over and whispered: "Company Commander Wang, Bei Zhi has asked all the servants in the mansion. However, according to Bei Zhi, the steward's words seemed to be untrue. If you don't say anything, this person is the steward of the mansion, how can he not know where the master has gone?"

When Sun Desheng heard this, he turned his head to the orderly soldiers beside him and said, "Go, call Huang Wanliang for me."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Not long after, a soldier with a low figure and a thin face ran over. After the other party finished saluting, Sun Desheng briefly explained the situation and then said: "I will give you half an hour to take out the skills you learned from the security police. You must ask the whereabouts of that bastard."

"Company Commander, don't worry! I can ask for a stick of incense in less than half an hour. But I have to find an empty room for me, except for the Uyghur news, and find another helper."

"You can choose whatever you want, there are some in Burke's house."

Wang Rong had heard of Huang Wanliang before, but this was the first time he met him. He used to be a public security police officer in Furdan City for more than three years. Later, he felt that it was boring to catch fights or stare at spitting and defecating everywhere every day, so he signed up to join the army. Because he had been interrogated by the public security police, he was often called by the regiment to do the work of captive screening.

Sure enough, in less than 15 minutes, Huang Wanliang and his companions walked out with Guangfu, who was pale. Guangfu seemed to be frightened by the former's interrogation methods. His eyes looked at the other party as if he had seen the plague god, and he was dodging.

"Company Commander, I've asked! The bastard was called away by someone who came back to the palace half an hour ago."

Amid the eyes of countless people around, Wang Rong and Sun Desheng discussed a few words in a low voice, and then issued an order. The second company left a platoon staring at Burke's Mansion, and the others gathered to go back to the palace!

At the same time, when he returned to the door of the palace's meeting hall, Uchibokshakzapal knelt on the cold stone slab, bearing the anger that King Hui vented with his whip.

"A bastard! Do you think my words are useless now?!"

"I don't dare to do it! Please spare my life!"

Dataiji Ermot on the side also said angrily: "Why did you tell you before? Be more restrained and don't give the North Navy a word. You dare to take it as a warning! You deserve it!"

"Allah is above, the villain can swear that he did not intend to kill him!"

"You still dare to argue!"

It was no small matter for more than 200 Northern Navy cavalry to enter the royal territory. After Durgo, who was responsible for managing the village of Alton Lek, learned the inside story, he ran to Taiji Prefecture early in the morning to report. Ermot was shocked when he heard the news.

His first reaction was that he would never let Shakzapal be captured by the North Navy. Although this bastard caused trouble, if he could not even protect his subordinates when he returned to the royal palace, he would not have any prestige when he returned to Xinjiang in the future.

So he sent someone to call Shakzapal quickly, and then went to the palace to report. Erdsir, who had not yet got up, heard that a large number of North Navy had entered his territory, and was so scared that he almost drilled into the bed.

After whipping more than a dozen whips in a row, Shakzapal's gorgeous fur was slapped and kept begging for mercy. Erdsil was also tired, threw the whip and said to Ermot: "Tell me, how should I deal with this damn slave?"

Ermot had already thought of a countermeasure, so he replied: "For the sake of the current plan, the only way is to let this bastard go to the Grand Mosque of Etikal to hide first, and the situation will calm down in a few days. I will block the palace. Prince, I'm afraid you have to move, go to Hami City to meet the big boss and say goodbye."

"It's just a blind slave who died. As for the king to go and they are humble?"

Ermert advised: "The other party is coming in a fierce manner. If they can't find anyone, they will definitely not give up. This time we can only admit defeat, make a gesture, give some money to bury the Shaddyk, and take some money to comfort him."

Erdsil asked worriedly: "What if they rush into the mosque to arrest people?"

Ermot smiled slightly and said confidently: "Did you forget? They have military orders that they should not enter the mosque without permission, saying that they should respect the religious beliefs of returning to Xinjiang. If they really go back on their word, not to mention that Allah will give divine punishment, what they said to Mullahs in each village before will become a joke!"

Erdesir pondered for a long time, but finally agreed helplessly.
