Zhao Xin spent an afternoon having a meeting with Liu Sheng, Fan Tong, and Jiang Fan to get a preliminary understanding of the situation of the troops on the Western Front.
In the general direction, he was actually most concerned about three things: the situation of officers and soldiers learning the Uyghur language, the progress of the acquisition of camels, horses and cattle, and the previous struggle against Uqibok in Hami.
Needless to say, learning the Uyghur language, and the acquisition of large livestock is to provide sufficient logistical supplies for the westward marching troops after the beginning of spring. Jiang Fan only took over recently, and the early procurement in various places was carried out by Fan Tong.
Escrow.
Since it is a requisition, it must be purchased with money, and it cannot be forced to buy or sell at a low price. Although the funds of the Western Front Command are not abundant, Fan Tong knows that Zhao Xin will never get entangled in such a matter.
With only a small amount of money, they would not squeeze the common people for this, so they set a purchase standard that was 20% higher than the market price.
Although the Xinjiang East Road in those days was vast, sparsely populated and economically backward, because the Manchus had established military and commercial settlements for 20 to 30 years, Hami and Barkol were the throats from within the pass to Urumqi.
, so it is also a distribution center for large livestock such as camels and horses.
"Speaking of which, we had to hold the public trial in Hami and deal with those guys like Hui Wang. Only then did the people's trust in us soar, and the procurement became smoother. And then there's the Xinjiang side.
The price of camels and horses is cheaper than that of Khalkha. At present, various ministries have completed 40% of the purchase plan. According to the current situation, it is estimated that by the end of the second lunar month, 70% will be basically completed, leaving arable land for the logistics team.
That’s enough.”
When Zhao Xin heard what Fan Tong said, he smiled and said, "That's good, I was just about to ask about Hami."
Fan Tong said: "Liu has the most say in this matter. He even made a special trip to Hami for this. I wanted to go too, but I guessed Ding Ke and lost."
Jiang Fan on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Liu Sheng said with a smile: "I only decided to go and have a look after receiving Bayan's telegram. This will firstly boost the morale of the troops; secondly, I will be present in person, so the people will understand what we are following.
Who is on one side? But to be honest, walking the Tianshan Mountain Road in the winter is really a hard job! Bayan led two regiments to forcefully march across the Tianshan Mountains, and now he is scared to think about it."
Zhao Xin was noncommittal about this. In his opinion, if you want to build the Northern Navy into an iron-clad force and even condense an invincible military spirit, this little pain is really nothing!
Isn't the Tianshan Mountains dangerous in winter, and the hot Nanyang rainforest not dangerous? If the Northern Navy wants to become the army in his mind, it is still far away!
Next, Liu Sheng talked about the public trial he attended in Hami...
After Uqibokshak Zapar was brought back to the military camp from Id Khar by Bayan, he was quickly interrogated. At first, the guy gritted his teeth and did not admit the crimes he had committed. He only shouted that he was wronged
.Unexpectedly, when Huang Wanliang, a former security policeman, came forward, it only took half a day for the other party to confess and sign his fingerprints.
However, this step was not over yet. After Bayan sent a telegram to the headquarters, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong quickly responded jointly. The two told Bayan that they could not spend it once and be done with it. They had to let Shake Zappa
I also confessed the crimes committed by the other three Wuqibok and even Hui Wangfu that I knew. This is equivalent to taking this opportunity to collect evidence of the crimes of Hui Wangfu and those powerful people.
With the command from the headquarters, Bayan told Huang Wanliang that as long as Shakzhapar is not killed, you can use whatever means you want. When Huang Wanliang heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately took out the weapon used by the security police
After learning all the tricks, it took him a week to serve the former Master Wuqibo to the point where he could neither survive nor die. In the end, whenever he saw Huang Wanliang, he would burst into tears and become frightened to the point of incontinence.
.
It is said that many of the interrogation techniques used by the security police in Beihai Town originated from a pamphlet that Zhao Xin taught Katayama and Lu Shoushan. Since then, the interrogation skills of the security police have improved rapidly, and beating and torture have become childish.
, after the interrogation, no injuries are visible on the body. No matter whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Tokugawa Shogunate or even the spies sent by the Li Dynasty, no one can survive as long as they are arrested. And the contents of this booklet are actually
Zhao Xin found out about it from another person.
Do you still remember the weapons dealer Andrew from another time and space? He once introduced a "business partner" to Zhao Xin, which also increased the scale of Zhao Xin's equipment purchase. The problem is that the person had worked for a "K" for a long time.
"The department at the head is responsible for countermeasures. After the two became familiar with several transactions, Zhao Xin took advantage of the opportunity to chat and asked a lot of relevant information, and finally compiled it into a book.
Closer to home, under Huang Wanliang's attentive and thoughtful "reception", Shakzhapar not only told everything about the crimes committed by himself and his family members, but even told the other three Uqibok and Hui Wangfu.
All the dirty things he did during the year were also shaken out.
Faced with the almost one-foot-thick confessional material, both Bayan and Liu Sheng, who hurriedly arrived after reading it, felt sad after reading it; there were dozens of cases of raping women to death, and there were even more other evil deeds.
They were countless. Liu Sheng even overturned the table in anger. It was hard for him to imagine how the Uyghur people in Hami had endured all these years.
But at this time, Liu Sheng was no longer the violent and reckless man he used to be. He carefully calculated all night and finally concluded that to deal with a local snake like King Hui who had been entrenched in Hami for hundreds of years, he had to use a piecemeal approach.
.
Catching a Dorobele who was conferred by the Manchus was nothing, but the identity of the other party's "religious leader" had to be taken into account.
You must know that there are more than 200 temples in the entire Hami area, and the relevant religious figures are all under the control of the king. For example, the local chief imam, that is, Ailaimu, is also held by the royal imam.
This great imam was appointed by King Hui. As a result, religious figures of all sizes in the entire Hami region were responsible to King Hui, and King Hui controlled the Uighur and Kazakh people through them.
Even if his identity as a "holy descendant" is forged, people have been telling lies for hundreds of years, and no one at the bottom can question it. Furthermore, the influence of the Sufi sect in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is not average.
, there is even a large group of supporters in the Hezhou area, which can affect the whole body.
Liu Sheng realized that in order to completely bring down Hami and return to the throne, the indirect evidence at hand was not enough. He had to start with judicial power to let the Uyghurs see that the laws of Beihai Town were fair and trust them.
Just fine.
Today, the Hui king's management and economic exploitation of the Uyghurs he belongs to is mainly realized through religious courts. This thing has supreme power in the minds of the Uyghur people, so even the former Manchu and Qing officials did not dare to interfere.
The highest religious court in the entire Hami region is located in the "Kaunamedris Mosque" in the back city. It is composed of a number of judges called "Hazi". The chief Hazi is the grand imam of the royal palace, and there are muftis under him.
Zireisi, general Hazi, etc. The judicial power of this religious court is only limited by the King Hui. Under the Supreme Court, there are religious courts in each district, and the Hazi appointed by the King Hui are responsible for it.
Liu Sheng knew very well that unless the judicial power was taken away and the national law was greater than the patriarchal law, the economic exploitation caused by the feudal serfdom could not be changed. The subsequent public trial of Shakzhapal and others was only a step to establish judicial fairness in Beihai Town.
first step!
"Well said! Liu, if you can think about the problem in this way, it seems that the establishment of the Western Front Command is the right move!"
When Zhao Xin heard this, he happily slapped Fan Tong's thigh and made a crisp sound. Poor Fan Tong still didn't understand Zhao Xin well enough, so he grinned in pain and hurriedly rubbed it with his hands a few times.
"Some people in the committee now say that the issue between the north and the south of the Tianshan Mountains is simple! Those who disobey will be arrested, and those who resist will be killed. If you ask me, this is fart! And it also smells bad."
Zhao Xin stood up and walked a few steps in front of the sand table, staring blankly at the various flags of intertwined forces above, but what he thought about was the word "housekeeper".
Since the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, with the introduction of Sufi teachings, independent sects and sects, large and small, have appeared one after another in northwest China. Among them, the three major sects of Gedim, Ikhwani, Xidaotang and Kubu
The four major eunuchs, including Linye, Gadilinye, Hufeiye and Zhehelinye, have greater influence. The various tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are collectively called "Yi Chan", while in Shaanxi and Gansu they are called "New Sect" and "Old Sect".
", they are both hostile to each other, and they also communicate with each other.
The characteristics of this sect are that the leader can only be succeeded by the descendants of the founder from generation to generation, and others cannot succeed; the leader's "verbal call" is like an imperial edict, and the followers must obey it and cannot easily violate it; the leader has jurisdiction over many churches or mosques
, there is a dean, who is directly appointed by the leader; the dean is subordinate to the leader, and the leader uses the donations from the church members to purchase land, livestock, etc., and becomes the leader of Fuguan Township, thus forming feudal privileges.
The King Hui of Hami is the political and religious leader of the Hami region, and he is also the most powerful among the various families in the northwest region.
If the sectarian issues in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains cannot be solved, the issues in the Hehuang Land will be even more troublesome. And the core of this is one, judicial power. If we cannot get this, breaking up personal attachment is nonsense.
Zhao Xin returned to the chair and sat down, and said to Liu Sheng: "Go on, what happened next?"
"Haha, I asked someone to send a post to Hui Wang, and I went to talk to him about the mountains at noon the next day, and even had a roast whole lamb." Liu Sheng smiled faintly, and continued: "That Dadai Guimat is mine.
I also saw the masters of the palace, accompanying the staff, and the great imams. Each of these guys seemed to be respectful, but in fact they were complaining, saying that we went to Id Kah to arrest people and violated the regulations.
Following the previous agreement..."
Naturally, Liu Sheng would not be intimidated by the chatter of the officials who returned to the palace. This guy was a mischievous master at heart. He then briefly introduced the achievements of the Bei Navy in recent years, and then organized himself in Khalkha.
The story of the Mongolian prince Beile was told. When they heard that a certain Beile from the Zasak Tuhan tribe was executed by Liu Sheng in a public trial for having liaison with the Manchus and oppressing his subjects, everyone present suddenly felt their calf muscles tightening.
The roasted whole lamb is no longer fragrant, and the cantaloupe is no longer sweet.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Liu Sheng revealed all the accusations about himself and the other three Uqibok in the materials provided by Shakzhapal.
The people who returned to the palace were certainly prepared and had a plan on how to defend themselves. They were not stupid. Ever since Shakzhapal was arrested, Erdsil and his uncle Ermet knew that they had broken up with each other.
Face, if you don't think of a way, you will have no choice but to be at the mercy of others.
But what they didn't expect was that that bastard Shakzapal actually vomited all over. There were many things that even Ermott didn't know about. The most terrible thing was that this guy also teamed up with another Uqi Burke to Xiang Dihua.
The Qing army on the other side quietly transported 30,000 shi of grain and 5,000 taels of silver.
When Erdsil saw this, his soul almost flew away! If you know that this matter was originally his instruction, of course he would not admit it and could only let his subordinates take the blame.
After urgent discussions with his men, Erdsil had no choice but to agree to send another Uqibok to the North Navy for justice.
On January 5, 1794, a massive public trial was held outside the east gate of Hami's return city. Almost all the villagers from Aletongleke Village came, and more than 2,000 villagers from the surrounding villages and towns also came.
There were so many Uyghurs watching under the trial platform.
In order to show justice, King Erdesir also sat on the top of the city, holding a monocular telescope to watch from a distance. Beside him, there were big and small Taijis, masters, great imams, and stewards wearing furs.
Qigushan Zhangjing, Mele Zhangjing, etc. were standing or sitting, and it was very lively.
Wang Rong, who temporarily served as the prosecutor, read out the complaint. Using the four loudspeakers set up on the stage, Guangfu, who served as the Uyghur translator, translated the content of the complaint into Uyghur so that he could hear it clearly even when he returned to the city.
Chu. Such a trial scene is really shocking!
When the crimes of the two Burkes were announced one by one, especially when the Apiz family took the stage and made tearful accusations, although the Uyghur people present were angry, they immediately thought, isn't that the gentleman? Aren't these days always like this?
!When they turned around and looked at the large row of dignitaries on the city wall, they sighed helplessly.
When Guangfu, who had practiced all night in advance, saw this, he suddenly raised his fists and shouted slogans with righteous indignation; upon seeing this, the Apiz family also raised their arms and responded; then the officers and soldiers of the North Navy who were standing guard around to maintain order also spoke in the Uyghur language they had just learned.
Shout loudly.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Liu Sheng immediately stood up and loudly announced the verdict, that is, the two of them would be taken to the Hami River and shot, and their property would be confiscated!
Until then, the people who had been watching with blank faces began to make a commotion. Although everyone did not understand what shooting meant, the two men had committed a capital crime and were about to learn the official punishment. However, they understood it from Guangfu's mouth.
That was Burke, who was once so high and noble! He would kill whenever he wanted, and two of them would be killed at once!
Finally, the emotions of some oppressed people erupted like a torrent. I dare you to love Mr. Burke today! In the name of Hu Da, fuck him!
"Skin them and hang them up!"
"Stuck in a hole in the ice!"
"Well done to the North Navy!"
...
Zhao Xinyi asked without hesitation: "Dead?"
"Of course he will be killed." Liu Sheng recalled the scene at that time, and said with an upturned corner of his mouth: "It is only more than two hundred meters from the trial platform to the riverside. If our people hadn't tried their best to block it, those two guys wouldn't have been able to do it."
When you get shot, you'll be torn into pieces."
"Where are those people from King Hui?"
"I left as soon as the verdict was pronounced! Later I watched the video of the drone adjustment, and the man's face turned green with anger!"
