Chapter 32 The Great Era Part Three: The End of Western Siberia (3)

 He ​​immediately stood up and pointed his trembling finger at Chumakov.

"You! Have you already contacted the official army?"

Chumakov also stood up, but he had a short flintlock gun in his hand, pointing at Pugachev.

"Yes, the Tsar needs you, you need to hang yourself on the streets of St. Petersburg, and I will become the governor of Treutsk"

"Why?!"

Pugachev roared in a trembling voice.

"We're done, it's impossible to beat the official army. It's that simple. We were deceived by the Truchens and miscalculated the situation. If His Majesty had not arranged a large number of standing troops in Voronesh and Chalizin, we would still have a chance, but the current situation is obviously different."

Just as they were talking, several people came in, who were obviously Chumakov and his gang, and soon tied up the angry Pugachev.

However, it is not enough for them to completely control the situation.

"Go to find Tvorokov, who is Pugachev's most trusted person and has also defected to the Truchens. The government army still attaches more importance to him than me, but this person has decided to join the government army"

Tvorrogov, the Cossack leader who struggled to survive with the down-and-out Cossacks in the buffer zone of Western Ukraine, was different from history. After joining the rebel army, he did not become one of the members of the committee, but became Pugachev's subordinate.

"With him here, Pugachev's confidants have nothing to say"

Soon, Tvorokov came here with a dozen people. Chumakov smiled as soon as he saw it, "It's good that you're here. Hurry up and appease Pugachev's subordinates, and say we are going to become landlords"

Tvorrogov asked, "Landlord? Trubenburg promised to give land to all of us?"

Chumakov nodded, "Yes, but they are all Siberian land, each with one hundred acres. Apart from the taxes paid to the state, there is no need to pay rent to the landlords anymore"

"Very good", Tvorokov clapped his hands, "Then let's call all the generals to discuss this matter"

A meeting was held in the Treutsk official hall.

After learning that they were going to surrender to the official army, half of them cheered, most of them were Chumakov's confidants, and they were also fed up with the shocking Cossacks of the long journey.

Half of them are unwilling to do this. Most of them are Pugachev's confidants. They are not willing to trust the government army, because the ending of the Racine brothers before is still vivid in my mind.

Pretend to accept you first, and then kill you. This is the usual trick used by the government army to deal with the uprising Cossacks.

The conference room was filled with the smell of tobacco, vodka and the sour smell emitted from the body without taking a bath for a long time, and it also had the tension between the two sides.

A common Pugachev confidant stood up.

"Where is our great leader? Where is he?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who supported Pugachev stood up.

"Where is Pugachev, for God's sake, tell me that he is still alive!"

Both sides took out the weapons they carried with them, the grenade gun, short gun, and saber, all pointed at each other.

"Stop!"

Chumakov spoke at this time.

"Unfortunately, the leader was sick and could not attend this meeting, but I had communicated with him before, and he agreed to this choice"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it"

The man who just spoke first shouted loudly.

"Bang..."

The short gun in Chumakov's hand started, and the man fell down on his back. The people around him cursed and were about to attack him. Chumakov put the short gun in his hand on the ground and said, "Everyone, listen to me, and let you kill me!"

"Everyone, the general of Trubenburg outside is not a nobleman, but a descendant of a mercenary general. He does not need to deceive us. Moreover, Siberia has a lot of land and requires a large number of people to farm. The country thinks the same way!"

"Why do we rebel? It's not because the food we plant is not enough to support the whole family? Although Siberia is cold, it is also a good place to plant rye. One hundred acres per person is enough to support the whole family!"

Everything seems to be impossible to pick. Although these people are all men who make a living from the knife, they also have to face reality.

But they don't want to just let it go.

"Even if Pugachev is not here, what about Tvorrogov? Could he be sick?"

"I'm here!"

With a shout, Tvorrogov appeared.

Not only did he appear, but Pugachev was standing behind him, and there were also Cossacks with a hundred hands holding short guns!

Chumakov was shocked and immediately wanted to pick up the short gun that he threw on the ground, but Tvorokov shot him.

Then the people behind him took short guns and shot those who supported him. After a burst of crackling, only Pugachev's people were left in the venue.

Chumakov fell in a pool of blood and was not dead at this time. He pointed at Tvorokov and said unwillingly: "Why?"

Tvorokov blew the smoke that had not yet dissipated from the gun mouth and said contemptuously: "I am Pugachev's man, and I cannot work hard for you. Moreover, I know that you have contacted Trubenburg. Trubenburg only promised to give you a hundred quotas for landlords, and you will give you all those who support you!"

As he said that, he looked at others.

"We have an official army around us, and there are 5,000 Kazakh cavalry on the outside, so it is impossible to escape"

"For the sake of the present, there is only one way to go"

"Yes," Pugachev took over the conversation, "Truchen, I don't want to be a landlord anymore. Each person can get fifty acres of land, and only pay 20% of the tax to the government"

"Truchen?" asked one person, "The Truchen people in Custana only have one brigade. They are not enough to guard Custana, and they can care about us?"

Pugachev nodded, "So we need to cooperate with the Truchens"

....

Galacanda.

After a coup, Elinqin replaced Shakdullmanzi's position and announced her return to Truchen, but many people expressed opposition and were unwilling to leave.

Sweat beads oozing out of Elinqin's face. He was just a slightly stronger noble among the Junggars. Although he could reach an agreement on killing Shakdurmanji who almost destroyed the Junggars, he could not be completely consistent in how to act next.

These people used to be unwilling to follow Qitade to the west, let alone now?

"The army of Truchen is coming!"

Elinqin suddenly said loudly.

In fact, although he knew that Truqin's army was on the road, he had no idea when and how many people came. Moreover, it was snowing now, and it would take at least one month for the army to arrive here.

The other nobles curled their lips, "Truchen, how did they come here? Besides, Bogdahan promised us to stay here at that time. It was cold and the snow was five feet deep. How could they get there?"

Elinqin obviously has no ability to deal with this situation and can't help but get speechless for a moment.

He was constantly looking forward to the arrival of the Truqins as soon as possible, and said, "What should I do if I wait until the Truqins come?"

Everyone has no objection to this.

....

In fact, the Sheling army had arrived long ago, but they did not stop near Lake Balkash, but crossed Lake Balkash and arrived in the Ili River Basin.

When we arrived here, the snow was obviously much shallower than the Kazakh prairie, with only a thin layer.

The reason why Sheling did this was because he received an order from Qitade halfway.

"Previous Khan, Dahan said you don't have to come back after you go"

"Why? Has Sheling not done well enough in the past ten years?"

"No, no, no, deputy khan, Your Majesty's meaning is not like this. Your Majesty has figured it out. Instead of giving up the land of Junggar to the Kazakhs or Qing people, it is better to keep it yourself"

"Really, the Khan decided to formally incorporate Junggar land into Truchen?"

"Yes, it's snowing now, and even the herdsmen are staying at home. Don't stay after you arrive near Garaganda, otherwise it will definitely attract Qingguzabu's attention. He is currently in Yili City, and you go straight there. There are only three thousand permanent troops in Yili City, and it is not your opponent."

After leaving Aral, they had been walking on the road for twenty days, and ten days later. On a snowy night, they successfully arrived in Yili City!

At this time, Qingguzabu never dreamed that the Truqin people actually crossed the Junggars and came to him!

Just as the Qing army crossed Tarbhatai to attack Yili City caught Dawazi Khan off guard at that time, when Qinggunzabu woke up, Sheling's three brigades had surrounded Yili City!

This time, although Sheling did not carry field cannons, there were also many short-barrel cannons and mortars. He immediately bombarded Yili City at dawn!

Without surprise, when Qinggunzabu was forced to take three thousand standing troops out of the city and fight with Sheling under the bombardment of artillery and defeated him to escape to the Tianshan Pass where Dawazi Khan had hidden, he was killed by his nobles under his command.

The fear of Truchen is still deeply buried in the hearts of all the Erats.

Sheling, one of the Great Taiji in the Junggar land and the deputy khan of the entire Truqin Khanate, quickly stabilized the situation.

So, Elinqin, who was restless, finally waited for news that surprised her.

"Truqin's army has arrived in Yili and killed Qinggunzabu!"

"Sheling Dataiji is back here!"

"Sheling Dataiji has stabilized the situation in the entire Yili River Basin!"

"Manap, a Kyrgyz man near Isek Lake, surrendered to Sheling!"

"Sheling took down Chucheng!"

"Sheling took Talas!"

"Abr Bandit Khan gave up Tashkent and returned to Turkestan!"

"Yangel Khan also returned to Turkestan"

Finally, Sukh, the brigade commander under Sheling, came to Garaganda in person.

Sukh was once the adopted son of Bilige, the general of Amursana, Junggar.
