    After consolidating the northern territory, the "Anmeng Army" must first eliminate the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia entrenched in Tangnu Ulianghai, so as to send a clear signal to the Soviet Russian government and eliminate the opportunity for them to infiltrate again.

    Once the place is set up, troops will be stationed here, so that this piece of land that the Chinese people dream of will return to the king forever. This was Zhang Hanqing's wish in his previous life, and it is also the sadness of countless Chinese people.

    Tangnu Ulianghai was originally part of Outer Mongolia. Its distribution area is generally located in the upper reaches of the Yenisey River in southern Siberia. It is located in the northwest of Outer Mongolia and south of Siberia. It is bordered by the East and West Sayan Mountains in the north and the West Sayan Mountains in the south.  Tangnu Mountain is a narrow strip of land between two mountains, with a distance of 420 kilometers from north to south and 630 kilometers from east to west. It has a total area of ??nearly 200,000 square kilometers and is shaped like a gourd.

    Sayan Mountain is the boundary mountain between Tangnu Ulianghai and Siberia. Geographically, it is the northern edge of the Mongolian Plateau. The word "Ling" in Lingbei Province, one of the eleven Xingzhongshu Provinces in the Yuan Dynasty, refers to  Sayan Mountains.

    Tuva is an ancient place name.  This place belonged to the Turkic Khanate from the 6th to 8th centuries, and was later annihilated by the Hui people.  In the 9th century, the Kyrgyz people drove away the Hui people.  Genghis Khan occupied this place in the 13th century, and it belonged to China from then on. It was ruled by the Manchus in 1819. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Tangnu Ulianghai, with forty-eight assistants, and was divided into Uliasutai in Outer Mongolia.  The deputy general of the left side of Dingbian, the great living Buddha Jebtsundamba, and the two departments of Zasaktu and Sanyinnuoyan.

    From 1860 to 1911, Tsarist Russia colonized Tangnu Ulyanghai in the name of "exploration" and "mining", introduced a large number of Russian immigrants, and at the same time developed the economy of Tangnu Ulyanghai.  In the third year of Tongzhi, China and Russia signed the "Tacheng Treaty" (i.e., the "China-Russia Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary"), and the ten territories in the northwest of Tangnu Ulianghai were cut off.  In 1912, Tsarist Russia took advantage of Outer Mongolia's attempt to become independent and directly annexed Tangnu Ulianghai, so it was placed under the Russian protectorate in 1914.

    On December 28, 1916, as Russia was busy with World War I, the Republic of China decided to let Ulyasutaizo, the Collector and Commissioner, take charge of Tangnu Ulyanghai affairs and resume the exercise of sovereignty over the area.  From 1918 to 1919, when Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Soviet Communist Party, the Republic of China sent troops to expel the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia entrenched in the Tangnu Ulianghai area and took the opportunity to take back Tangnu Ulianghai.

    However, as Mongolia lost control, the more remote Tangnu Ulianghai was no longer able to carry out effective control and management. So in 1920 in official history, most of Tangnu Ulianghai was quietly incorporated into the Soviet Union and was  The Republic of Tuva was established in 1944 and has been ruled ever since.

    The Tuva people are a branch of the Mongolian ethnic group. Their ethnic origins mainly come from two aspects, one is Tiele - Turks, and the other is Xianbei - Mongolia.  They were called the Uuliangha people in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and were translated as "Wulianghai" in the Qing dynasty. This is another source of the Tuva people.  Later, they migrated to the Tangnu Ulianghai area and were renamed Tuva or Tuwa people. Therefore, some people say that they are the descendants of the soldiers left behind by Genghis Khan during his western expedition.

    Another view is that the Tuva people belong to a branch of the Turkic people. The evidence includes that the Tuva language is recognized as belonging to the Turkic language family rather than the Mongolian language family. They have also been assimilated by Mongolia. This can be seen from their habit of drinking milk tea and milk wine.  You can feel it.

    The Tuva people are divided into two types, one is the mountain-plain livestock herders (Western Tuva people) and the deer hunters in the mountain forests (Eastern Tuva people).  They live as they did before: selling salt, nomadic herding, and herding and hunting are their traditional occupations.  Since the 17th century, Tuvans have been under growing Russian cultural influence.  The traditional social structure of the Tuva people is based on the clan system. Their traditional religious belief is a mixture of Yellow religion and Lamaism. Therefore, they are mainly Lamaists and Shamanists. Tibetan Buddhism has a great influence.  deep.

    Its capital, Kizil, is located at the confluence of the Big and Small Yenisei rivers. It has been home to a large number of Tuva people for a long time. It was only officially formed in 1914. After the Soviet occupation in 1926, it was changed to Kizil, which means  "red".  Because the north is the long and tall West and East Sayan Mountains, its geographical location is more southerly, but it is still the northernmost city in the entire region, with a population of about 60,000 at that time.

    The entire Tangnu Ulianghai population is about 200,000, and most residents are concentrated in the basins and valleys between the mountains.  Due to large-scale immigration, about 20% of the population is Russian, and they are mainly concentrated in the capital city of Kyzil.  In addition to the Tuva tribe, there are also the Komi and Khakas tribes with a population of 5,000 or 6,000.

    If we don¡¯t take advantage of this moment to complete the feat of liberating the entire territory of Mongolia, how long will it take?  So Zhang Hanqing left Guo Songling behind in Kulun to carry out political, military and economic reforms, and personally led the main force of Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade and the first regiment of the special operations brigade led by Ji Yiqiao to march westward along the Orkhon River, across Lake Kusugur, and at Kizil  You defeated the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia and quickly recovered the thirty-six subordinate territories in the central and eastern areas.  Since the Soviet Russian army in the north is fighting the White Russian army, the defense here?To guard the narrow geography in the middle of the Sayan Mountains, we can effectively block the invasion channel from Siberia.  The huge Mongolia will only serve as a strategic buffer for mainland China.  Defending Tangnu Ulianghai is like a sharp knife stuck in the heart of Russia. When China becomes stronger in the future, will Soviet Russia also set aside a place on their territory as their strategic buffer?

    Following the order of Zhang Hanqing, Tangnu Ulianghai was officially transformed into a second-level unit under the jurisdiction of the Mongols, and was officially established as a city. The municipal government headquarters is still in Kizil.  South Tangnu City was built with Taili in the southwest as the center, North Tangnu City with Kemuzike Ulianghai Banner as the center, and a new military city was built in the Shizuo territory in the northwest of Xisayan Mountains, called Sayan City.  The three cities are all built in almost a straight line along the river. They will be the administrative and economic center of the left half gourd terrain, and will also be more convenient in terms of transportation construction.

    The Tuomian Wulianghai Banner in the eastern half of the gourd-shaped area was changed to Dongtannu City, while the names of Nalen and Jinjijianke in the south remained unchanged.  In this way, there are seven cities in Tangnu Ulianghai City, forming an administrative structure in which one city governs six counties.  Originally, each territory was divided internally, or formed into towns and villages in twos and threes, which were governed by these seven cities respectively.  Starting from Nantangnu City, as long as an almost "Y"-shaped highway is built, the seven cities will be effectively connected, which will not only bring all the major areas closer together, but also reduce construction costs.

    Zhang Hanqing assigned troops from the Tang Juwu Regiment of the "Anmeng Army" cavalry brigade to garrison, and appointed him as the garrison envoy of the Tangnu area of ??the Anmeng Army.  Since the Tang troops were all cavalry units, they could only be used in places with high mountains and sparsely populated areas.  While he sent a telegram to the Mongolian provincial government to send Mongolian administrative personnel and some People's Party cadres to Tangnu to carry out the construction of Tangnu, he also asked Tang Juwu to send people to carefully draw an administrative geographical map, and then hand it over to the Northeast Autonomous Government for demarcation.

    Geographically, it is really far away from Kulun, and transportation is inconvenient.  Zhang Chengde handed over a radio station to Tang Juwu stationed in Kizil City to facilitate contact with Kulun.  Zhang Hanqing secretly vowed that when he gets rich in the future, he will build a road and railway from Kulun, and keep this treasure firmly in his hands and never let go.

    In order to appease Horqin and other tribes, Zhang Hanqing led his troops southward and returned all the way along the Kobdo and Uliasutai areas. At the source of the Orkhon River, he also arranged for a meeting with Ji Yiqiao, who would be the supreme military commander of Mongolia, in a big way to agree.  Mongolia returned to the Central Government and the princes of Checheerleg League.  The majestic military appearance and "huge" army greatly frightened some fence-sitters who were still watching the situation in their hearts. Compared with Mongolia, which has a population of less than one million, an army of 10,000 people is indeed "huge".

    However, when these Mongolian princes wanted to see the young marshal with tears in their eyes, Zhang Chengde regretfully informed them that due to overwork and the unfavorable climate, the young marshal was ill and unable to see guests.  Based on Zhang Hanqing's previously planned Mongolian strategy, he had already prepared his troops and prepared for major moves in the northwest, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.  But the sick young commander was very moved by the kindness of the princes and praised their decision to become kings.

    Because there were many dirty things in Fengwan before, and the Zhili Clan was ready to take action.  In order to divide Zhili and the Central Government and alleviate the negative consequences of the Central Government's withdrawal of the "Inspection Envoys of the Three Eastern Provinces" during the "May 4th Movement", after the war, the Central Government took the opportunity to reward Zhang Zuolin generously: "With  Zhang Zuolin is the inspection envoy to the three eastern provinces and the economic and strategic envoy to Mongolian territory. All suppression plans are given full authority and carried out expeditiously. The cities of Rehe, Chahar, and Xing'an are all under the control of the economic and strategic envoy"  Zhang Zuolin was extremely proud of actually recognizing Fengjun's military occupation of the four areas outside the Pass.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
