Chapter 712: Changing to the human world without any corvee (1)
"Where are you going back? My dear, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The door curtain swung, and Polya walked in with a lunch box in one hand and a child in the other. When she saw Zhao Xin was there, she smiled kindly. Although this girl was already a mother, because she was only twenty years old,
It was when she was in her prime. She was wearing a long black velvet dress and boots with spurs. Her fluffy blond hair was tied up and fixed at the back of her head with a hairpin studded with pearls.
Just by looking at this outfit, you can tell how much Fan Tong dotes on her.
"Uh...I mean I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going to stay with you, mother and son." Seeing his wife coming, Fan Tong explained hurriedly.
"Come, let me hug you." Zhao Xin smiled and clapped his hands at Fan Tong's son. The little guy had already seen Zhao Xin several times, so he didn't recognize him. He clicked his little mouth and grabbed him.
Zhao Xin's hair.
Little Fan Tong, who is more than eight months old, has been loved by everyone since he came to the Western Front Army. Although this child has oriental black hair, he has inherited Polya's exquisite facial features, and
He also has a pair of big, watery eyes like gems.
Zhao Xin sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you are now a father."
"I used to be fearless, but since I got him, I have become more worried." Fan Tong looked at his son jumping up and down in Zhao Xin's arms. He didn't know why the corners of his eyes were a little astringent, and murmured: "That moment when he was shot.
My son, all I was thinking about were the two of them. At that time, I was thinking, what will they do in the future if they can’t go back..."
Hearing what Fan Tong said, Polya's eyes also turned red. Her parents were both dead, and her uncle and aunt were thousands of miles away. Her whole life depended on the little one in front of her. When she learned that Fan Tong was injured,
, she felt that the sky was falling.
Zhao Xin sighed and said to the couple full of guilt: "I was careless this time. It would have been better if I had brought more people with me. I feel that there is no need to go out in a big way... I'm sorry.
ah!"
Fan Tong said hurriedly: "Brother Zhao, I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, this leg would probably be hanging."
Polya also echoed: "Zhao, thank you."
Zhao Xin hesitated and said: "How about... we return to Beihai Town after the injury is healed? Now our stall is getting bigger and bigger..."
"No!" Fan Tong took the handkerchief from Polya, blew his nose, and said firmly: "Da Liu needs me more here, we still have to lead the armored troops out of Congling westward!"
"Okay! Interesting enough!"
Before he finished speaking, smiling Liu Sheng and Wu Xiha with a big belly walked in. Last spring, Liu Sheng followed Zhao Xin's request and sent someone to escort the four Saihan siblings to Beihai Town.
The sudden absence of the child's noise made the couple very uncomfortable. By the beginning of summer, Ushiha was pregnant.
Polya hurriedly came forward to say hello and helped Ushiha sit down. When the latter saw Fan Tong's son, he was extremely curious and hugged him without any explanation.
Fan Tong asked Polya to help him sit up, and asked Liu Sheng: "Have you caught all the guys who attacked?"
Liu Sheng motioned for him to lie down and said: "We have captured part of it, and we are still searching the mountain. Don't worry! No one can escape."
It was said that Zhao Xin and his party were attacked, Fan Tong was injured, and seven officers and soldiers including the guard platoon leader were killed, which caused an uproar in the Northern Navy troops outside Jingyuan City. When Jiang Fan and the others contacted the headquarters through the radio,
Liu Sheng, who was furious, while sending troops to respond, ordered the implementation of military martial law in Qitai, Zhenxifu, and Hami, and stationed personnel at various traffic passes to strengthen patrols and conduct continuous interrogations of people coming and going.
The Northern Navy stationed outside Jingyuan City dispatched two horse-mounted infantry battalions. With the help of more than a dozen drones with infrared thermal imaging capabilities, they launched a raid over hundreds of miles around Jiangbulake and Shule City.
Search online; as long as flames, horses and humanoid images are found, ground troops will quickly surround them.
The northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains were unbearably cold at night, and there were wolves and leopards roaming around. Those who escaped would have committed suicide if they did not light a fire. In the middle of the night, more than 20 escapees were arrested one after another. Everyone was confused when they were caught.
I don't understand how the Beihai Navy found it after hiding it in such a remote place.
Faced with such a dragnet, it was naturally impossible for He Sheng'e, who disguised himself as a Taoist priest, to escape. On the early morning of the next day after the incident, he and two of his men were blocked by more than a dozen Northern Navy soldiers in the upper reaches of the Zhonggegen River.
They were in a remote ravine. At first, they tried to climb over the Tianshan Mountains along the mountain ridge, but the drones in the sky kept a close eye on the three of them. As more and more North Koreans surrounded them, they lamented that He had nowhere to escape.
Sheng Qu had no choice but to draw his sword and kill himself.
This time he was completely dead. The carotid artery was severed, and even Daluo Jinxian could not save him. The two henchmen were unwilling to be arrested and continued to flee. Later, one was shot to death and the other was slightly injured and captured. After interrogation, it was learned that
, the captured guy called himself Alinbao. Knowing that the situation was over, he revealed that their hiding place was at the Dongquan Temple.
After Jiang Fan heard the news, he was shocked. What the hell, you know that Fan Tong was there to pick up Zhao Xin in the first few days! He immediately dispatched a company of cavalry to rush to Dongquan Temple, seal it up and arrest him
All personnel, including the abbot, were told that if they resisted, they would be shot to death.
After interrogating the other prisoners, it was discovered that most of them were cavalry escorts who returned to the palace, and the matter of the palace's collusion with the remaining Manchus was also exposed.
"...The three of them originally planned to meet at the Shule City ruins, but they happened to meet you!"
Fan Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he was really unlucky. The others then joked and joked for a while. Fan Tong's gunshot wound had not healed, and he had lost too much blood before. After talking for a long time, he became a little depressed and his eyelids bulged.
When Zhao Xin and others saw this, they stood up to leave and advised him to rest in peace and recuperate before leaving.
When they got out of the tent, Liu Sheng originally wanted to help his wife go back, but Wu Xiha saw that her husband and Zhao Xin still had something to say, so she waved her hand and said, "We haven't even taken a few steps together, so don't worry about me." After that, he strode like lightning.
Went home.
Zhao Xin joked to Liu Sheng: "A tough life does not need explanation. Miss Hezhe, you have to refuse to accept it."
Liu Sheng smiled faintly, feeling very proud in his heart. The two turned around and walked slowly towards the headquarters. Liu Sheng suddenly whispered: "Do you know who the guy in black armor you killed was?"
"who?"
"Return to the leader of the Yiwei Camp of the Royal Palace."
Zhao Xin stopped and said in surprise: "Why did they come to the north of Tianshan Mountain? Why did Bayan eat?"
Liu Sheng explained: "This group of troops was originally stationed in Yiwu, where there is a large pasture of King Hui. They used to be stationed in Xiamaya Bingcheng, but after we captured Jingyuan City, their soles were greased.
Hidden in the pasture. I felt something was wrong at first, how could Xiamaya be an empty city!"
Speaking of which, the troops on the western front still suffered from not knowing the Uyghur language. Under the Manchu rule, the Huiwang fiefdom was like a country within a country, and they did not even have to pay taxes. For the leading ministers and prefecture and county officials, as long as they did not live in trouble for the people
He would never interfere in the affairs of the feudal land in the palace, so he did not understand the internal situation of the ranch.
The two came to the headquarters, found an unoccupied tent, went in and sat down, and when the guards poured tea and retreated to the door, Liu Sheng said, "I plan to take action against the palace."
"what do you think?"
"We can't let them go through any more trouble. After the spring begins, the army will go westward, and staying here will be a disaster! This hidden danger must be solved before leaving, and it can knock down the mountain and shake the tiger."
"You mean Turpan, right?"
"right!"
Zhao Xin nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then called the guard at the door in and asked him to invite Jiang Fan over. A few minutes later, Jiang Fan came with a tired look on his face.
Zhao Xin comforted the other party for a few words, then told Liu Sheng what he meant, and then asked: "What do you think?"
Jiang Fan held the tea cup and said while sorting out his thoughts: "Commander's words are not unreasonable. Returning to the palace to do such a shameless and despicable act, if you don't resort to thunderous means, it will become a big problem in the future. His Highness has talked about 'because of the customs'
The vassal was greatly inspired by the method of "governing" and "giving both kindness and power". The troubles in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are not as great as those in Hami and Turpan.
The situation in various parts of Xinjiang is complicated now. There are Manchus and Qing Dynasties inside, and there are coveting enemies such as Haohan and others outside. If we continue to use barbarians to rule barbarians, we will actually fight against bandits with robbery.
Arrangement of military punishment, financial resources, and everything is not a cure for the root cause."
"Well. What you said makes sense. If you are responsible for this matter, how are you going to do it?"
Jiang Fan said without hesitation: "The rich, powerful and tyrannical will be captured together, and the cowardly and ignorant will be gradually relocated. In conjunction with the radio announcement, the assistants will be the unit to inform each house. It is stated that their labor service will be abolished. Our army will only have dispatches, no matter how long or short.
You can pay for three days first, so the people will be grateful. Then check the population of their fields and pastures, and apply for identity cards for each household. With everything in place, the Xinjiang East Road can be decided."
Zhao Xin glanced at Liu Sheng silently, tapping the five fingers of his right hand on the table in turn, and his thoughts were surging. After the attack, he also believed that the cancer of returning to the palace must be cut off.
However, "reforming the land and returning it to the mainstream" is easy to say, but in practice it is an extremely complicated and long-term project. The most troublesome thing here is the difficulty in interpreting policies due to different religious beliefs and cultural beliefs. In addition,
After breaking down the old power system, how to involve the emerging forces pro-Beihai Town, thereby achieving smooth communication between the upper and lower levels to alleviate social dissatisfaction.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said to Liu Sheng solemnly: "In principle, I have no objection. You have accumulated a lot of experience in Khalkha in the past few years and are familiar with the road. But I have to remind you that Sufis are either
Don't move. If you want to move, you can't leave any trouble. It would be even more troublesome if you let it go."
"I understand. Don't worry."
The tone of the conversation between the two sounded casual, but Jiang Fan's heart was beating wildly. He knew that from this moment on, returning to the palace and those dignitaries would be nothing but meat on the chopping board!
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and then said to Jiang Fan: "Ziping, there are two things I must remind you."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Whether it is the abolition of corvee or the census of the land population, the fundamental and core purpose is to improve the living environment of the Uyghur people. If we do this for a long time, but the lives of the Uyghur and Kazakh people are not improved in the end, then they will no longer be able to live.
Fundamentally questioning the rationality of the new regime in Beihai Town will also give opportunities to the old vested interests. Then there are the low-level imams in various townships and villages. Don’t treat them as the minions of the Hui King across the board.
, let the work team communicate more, listen to their ideas, respect their beliefs, and try their best to use them except for those who are very angry with the people."
Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, Jiang Fan already understood it as if he was enlightened, and he admired him inexplicably in his heart.
Another day later, Zhao Xin saw that Fan Tong's injury had stabilized, so he left the Dongquan Temple under the escort of two companies of cavalry led by Jiang Fan. He stayed in Qitai for more than ten days, and there were many urgent needs.
The travelers who were returning home for the Chinese New Year were already a little impatient with the wait.
After seeing off Zhao Xin, Jiang Fan did not return to Jingyuan City. Instead, he led his troops to escort a batch of generators and broadcasting equipment to Hami via the Tianshan Mountains.
On the morning of Zhao Xin's departure, that is, February 4, 1794, almost all the Northern Navy cavalry stationed in Hami City were dispatched. Before Hui Wang's palace had time to react, they had already taken over the control inside and outside Hui City.
All defense measures will be carried out, and the escort troops returning to the palace will be disarmed and imprisoned in the palace barracks for supervision.
After hearing the news, Datai Jiemout was shocked. Just as he was about to go to negotiate in person, hundreds of soldiers from the Northern Navy had already surrounded Hui Wangfu and Taiji Palace, strictly ordering no one to enter or exit. All drinking water and food were provided by the Northern Navy.
They were sent to the mansion. In the afternoon, troops from the other three Burke mansions also went there and adopted the same method.
For a time, people in the entire Hami area were panicked, and both Han and Uyghur people were speculating about what had happened. The Beihai Navy was engaged in such a large-scale battle, and it was really a Chinese New Year that left no one calm.
Two days later, a groundbreaking news shocked the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The cavalry of the Northern Navy posted a notice in the 38th village of Liuxiang under the control of King Hui of Hami, and summoned the villagers to read the content. The notice was in three languages: Han, Mongolian and Uighur.
In the name of the Western Front Command of the Northern Navy, it was announced that the hereditary inheritance of the Prince's Palace would be abolished forever.
In the Beixiang area at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the troops stationed in Barkol also sent several troops to Liushuquan, Naomao Lake, Xiamaya, Yanchi and other places to summon the Uighurs and Kazakhs who settled nearby to unify.
Read the notice.
"When the country was founded, all the previous autocratic regimes and feudal systems were completely wiped out. The Manchu and Qing Dynasty's Zhasak system had the function of fixing borders and maintaining stability. However, the princes of the various Mongolian tribes in Khalkha did not interfere with the political power, nor did they occupy the land.
, the power of criminal administration and tax collection. The only place in Hami is under the management of the princes of the Huibu. This has been a long-term evil, and they cannot be appointed to the left and right. Because of this, they steal power, oppress and kill the Wei people in front of them, and make friends with the Manchus.
The remnant plotted to kill Bei Haijun later.
One person is wreaking havoc at the top, and a group of petty people are exploiting the bottom. The people's financial resources are limited, and the demands of the leaders are endless. Their desires are hard to satisfy, their supplies are endless, and they are hungry and cold. No one dares to do anything. If you don't try to change this, the people will suffer.
There will never be a day for exemption! Looking at the present and drawing lessons from the past, we must rectify the original and clear the source. We can no longer follow the same path, which will cause eternal suffering to the people. Therefore, the Western Front Command of the Northern Navy has decided to change the land and return it to the current situation from now on to save the people.
Water and fire.
Special order: Exemption of all entangled people from having to return to the palace for work; reduce the amount of grain they have to pay, inventory the land, divide it among each family, and exempt them from taxes for three years; regardless of Uyghur or Kazakh households, all grain and grass taxes owed to the palace in previous years will be exempted.
In compliance with customs, minor cases such as Weimin's marriage and property are still allowed to be handled by the Imam in accordance with the scriptures; major cases such as murder, robbery, theft, and rebellion must be handled by the Hami Military Control Commission.
