    The officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade, sabers in hand, roared past the fence "city wall" that was only 2 meters high in the south of the city. They paid no attention to the Mongolian troops who knelt to surrender, but some of the surrendering troops who knelt on the road were cut down without hesitation.  They lost their heads¡ª¡ªjust because they delayed the advance of the large army!

    Soon after, the defenders in the east of the city heard a loud noise from behind, and Zhang Chengde's troops moved to the rear of the Mongolian army with lightning speed.  Guo Songling issued the order for a general attack, and the infantry regiment, unwilling to be left behind, shouted and charged across the front.

    The Mongolian army was finally in chaos. Facing the crusade, they lacked moral strength. With no hope of victory, they all chose to abandon their guns and surrender.  Bokdog was dissatisfied, abandoned his troops, and fled northward surrounded by the palace guards.

    This battle only lasted three hours and ended successfully. The actual fighting time was only half an hour, and the rest of the time was spent on capturing prisoners.  An inventory of the battlefield showed that the "Anmeng Army" took more than 13,000 prisoners and killed more than 2,000 people. It is estimated that hundreds of people were killed and injured in the south of the city.  The casualties on our side were less than a hundred, so it was considered a great victory.

    Guo Songling was not in a hurry to attack. He arranged to rest on the spot. While sending troops to guard the passes in the east and south of the city, he arranged for scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Mongolian army.  According to the previous conclusions of several people, he knew that the large-scale armed struggle was over, and what was left was the civil affairs.

    Sure enough, after lunch, the sentry reported that the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba sent his special envoy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Longchige to discuss the truce.  Zhang Hanqing smiled coldly and said, "Bring him in."

    Not long after, the guards led a middle-aged official in Mongolian formal attire into the headquarters of the "An-Meng Army".  Longchige gave the Mongolian salute to everyone and others, and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Dear Marshal, Hutuktu Khan sent me to inform you that Hutuktu Khan has requested the dissolution of the Mongolian independent government. We will immediately  Power on to the Central Committee. Now the independent government in the full sense no longer exists, and both sides must immediately cease military operations."

    Zhang Hanqing sneered and said: "No, there is no truce, only surrender! After a defeat, you ask for peace and truce? Don't even think about it! All Mongolian armies must surrender! Why doesn't that so-called living Buddha come to see me? Is he responsible for this incident?  People must be held accountable!¡±

    Longqige was furious and said: "The descendants of Changshengtian will never surrender. As a living Buddha, how can you be so rude!"

    Zhang Hanqing received modern education, what kind of living Buddha did he believe in?  That awesome Dalai Lama and Living Buddha of Tibet, how about being kicked out of his lair, living all over the world as his "home", and watching his death without a place to bury him?  This so-called "first generation distant ancestor" of Living Buddha Jebtsundamba is recognized by the fifth Dalai Lama Lobsang Gyatso Dalai Lama.  There seems to be some information that the inheritance of the living Buddha system needs to be canonized by the Qing emperor and recognized by the Dalai Lama of Tibet before it can take effect. In this case, if he, as a representative of the central government, does not recognize his religious status, then he is still a  Shit.

    He spread his hands and said to Longqig: "Who is the living Buddha Jebtsundamba! He is a Buddha to you, but to me he is just a Russian lackey who splits the country! Without canonization by the central government, he  Now I'm still living in a dilapidated yurt, worrying about three meals a day! It doesn't matter whether you surrender or not, to borrow a famous saying of Genghis Khan: 'If you want to fight, then fight'. Please come back, and we'll see you after the battle.  .¡±

    After a long period of thinking, he has come to a conclusion: to obtain Mongolia's long-term ownership, iron-blooded methods are indispensable.  The central government has granted enough privileges to Outer Mongolia, but these people still have a hard time filling their grievances.  Only by clearing out those separatists who are determined to stay on the ground can we completely return a clear sky to Outer Mongolia.

    Longqige was trembling with anger. Although he spoke forcefully, he was panicking in his heart.  It was expected to be shored up so that Russian support forces could arrive.  Who would have thought that nearly three brigades of troops in the east of the city would be wiped out in a few hours.  If this were not the case, the cabinet would not be in a hurry to call for an armistice.  He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Young Marshal, I am here this time to follow the teachings of the Living Buddha. Both sides have rested their troops to rest. Please do not start another war."

    Zhang Hanqing was unmoved and said: "Your Living Buddha's teachings are of no use to me! I emphasize once again that all Mongolian troops should surrender immediately and unconditionally, and all officials of the puppet Mongolian government must be tried. This is the basis for negotiations between the two parties.  , otherwise, the 'An-Meng Army' will kill all those who dare to resist, and severely hold the upper management of the Mongolian army and the government accountable! Please bring your original words and we will give you a reply within 2 hours."

    With half an hour left in the ultimatum, Zhang Hanqing felt a little uneasy.  Ethnic and religious issues have always been a major issue in China.  Anmeng is necessary, but if this goal is achieved by bloody means, it will not meet the needs of long-term peace and stability.  After all, you can say angry words, but if you want to naturalize the people living in this land, a gentle policy is essential, and he has not yetAre you mentally prepared to make this place a river of blood?

    However, Guo Songling comforted him confidently and said: "Young Marshal, there will be good news later. Brigade Commander Ji has already arranged the battle on the front line. If things fail, we are sure to annihilate the Mongolian army within half an hour."  I think anyone with a little bit of brains will understand that continuing to fight will not have good results for them." Zhang Hanqing secretly thought to himself, thinking that he was too impatient.  I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu. What's certain is that I'm afraid he'll fly away?

    Facts have verified what Guo Songling said.  When Longziger brought Zhang Hanqing's original words, there was silence in the Prime Minister's Office.  Everyone was originally very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, but unexpectedly they were killed instantly. Bokdog, who claimed to be the Mongolian God of War before the war, even had no shadow. It was not known whether he died in battle, was captured, or escaped.

    A group of blind eyes were all staring at Badma to see how he would make a decision.

    It is true that Badma is the prime minister, but this "prime minister" has less than one million people, and the most important military and religious power is not in his hands. He is at most the front desk for living Buddhas to govern the world.

    A few months ago, he was happy to be respected by thousands of people, but now he feels the pressure strongly.  He understood the principle of "capture the thief first, capture the king first". For such a large battle of the Anmeng Army, it took a long time to introduce several responsible persons after the war. As the person with the highest official position among them, he was the first to bear the brunt.  Therefore, he said: "Damn Bokdog, even if we give him 30,000 horses, he will not be captured in such a short period of time!"

    He forgot that horses are said to be human, but they are not human after all.  As humans, it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but horses cannot do this.  Many of the Mongolian troops on the battlefield surrendered to the Anmeng troops in groups on their own initiative. It did not take much time to capture the prisoners, but it took as much as two hours to capture the horses!

    But complaining is useless. Badma looked at the living Buddha. The living Buddha who stepped down from the altar was like an old monk in meditation, immersed in his personal world and lustful thoughts.

    He turned to Longqig, who had witnessed the power of the Anmeng army: "Bokdog is useless, and we are not our opponents. It is better to avoid the war. The most we can do is cancel our autonomy, but we will not lose much. How many times do we lose our autonomy?  This was done years ago, but in the end it was done hastily? And if you don't want to unite your enemies, such an army will be useless anyway, so it's better to be a bachelor."

    Badma nodded. A big defeat within two hours had completely destroyed his spirit, energy, and spirit. He couldn't hold his breath anymore.  After a short consultation, "Cabinet Prime Minister" Badma Dorzi finally decided to accept the proposition of the "Anti-Mongolian Army" and ordered all Mongolian troops to disarm.

    In the morning of that day, Ji Yiqiao led the division's cavalry regiment and a regiment of infantry to enter Hulun City first, and marched directly to all directions to take over the Mongolian defense lines.  In order to demonstrate his force, Zhang Hanqing held an ingenious ceremony for entering the city and ordered all officials of the Mongolian Autonomous Government to line up at the city gate to greet him.

    Zhang Chengde¡¯s Cavalry Brigade is the forward.  When they saw the cavalry of the "Anmeng Army" marching through the city gates one by one with their vigorous riding posture, neat horses, and high fighting spirit, the hearts of everyone in the surrendered Kulun City palpitated with the noisy sound of horse hooves.  move.  And when the cannons advanced slowly one by one, dragged by six horses, they couldn't help but be surprised by their mighty appearance.  The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the gunfire were intimidated, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

    The weapons in Mongolia are all old goods left over from the Manchu garrison before the Republic of China, and many soldiers even use firecrackers.  There are a few antique "red cannons", but there are basically no cannons in the modern sense, and there are basically no decent weapons since the Republic of China.  Because Mongolia¡¯s industry is almost zero, there is no possibility of independent research and development.  What's more, any industry, especially heavy industry, requires sufficient water sources to ensure it. Mongolia is an area with severe water shortage!  This is one of the reasons why the Mongolian army was almost unable to fight back under the attack of the well-equipped "An-Meng Army".

    After the first regiment of the army, there is the guard battalion commanded by the "Anmeng Army".  Zhang Hanqing was under strict protection. Along the way, he could only see more and more people gathering in the distance and unattractive trees on both sides of the street.  It was his first time out of the country since prehistoric times, and everything here felt both familiar and strange.

    There are almost no trees in Kulun, perhaps due to the climate or the plateau.  Occasionally I see a few poplar trees. Not to mention whether they grow tall or not, they are still half-dead, and the tops of the trees are basically dead, without exception.  The elm trees were alive and well, which reminded Zhang Hanqing of some areas with harsh natural conditions in Xinjiang, northern Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia, where elm trees are also widespread.  After Mr. Mao Dun finished writing "Praise to Poplars", he might also write "Praise to Elms".  A tree with such a strong ability to survive is worthy of praise.  I don¡¯t understand why Mongolians don¡¯t regard elm trees as green trees. I remember that some streets in Urumqi and Lanzhou have elm trees in their green trees, which are very lush.  "When you have time, you must plant some elm trees in the city. Planting more trees can block the wind and sand." He thought to himself.

    A gust of wind blew up, and the sand it brought was fascinated by Zhang Hanqing's eyes. He rubbed the sand that was blown into his eyes and thought to himself, how can he rub the sand out of Mongolia|Independence's eyes forever?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??.  ¡± he thought to himself.
