The thing that shocked the Tibetan rebels the most finally happened!
Wang Hengyue is here after all!
As soon as Wang Hengyue sent out troops, he had already captured Yanjing and the five areas of Batang, and his momentum was simply unstoppable! Now, after capturing Batang, he marched towards Jiangda with rapid force.
Sooner or later Jiang Da will fall into his hands. And once Jiang Da is lost, Wang Hengyue's troops will be only four hundred miles away from Lhasa!
Four hundred miles away, when will the battle flags of the Han army appear under the city of Lhasa?
What is even more troublesome is that wherever Wang Hengyue goes, Tibetans are in awe of him. Wang Hengyue never shows mercy when he kills rebels, but his attitude towards Tibetans is still quite good.
The difference between Wang Hengyue and Zhao Erfeng was that he did not destroy local temples wherever he went.
It's not that Wang Hengyue doesn't dare, it's that he can't do it under the current circumstances.
The independent mixed division will go all the way deep with the strength of the second regiment. If it does not get the support or even opposition of the local Tibetans, it will fall into a very dangerous situation.
Facts have proved that Wang Hengyue's decision was correct.
When the independent mixed division was less than half a day's journey from Jiangda, the leader of Jiangda's rebels, Renci Wangjie, sent people to discuss the possibility of surrender.
"Surrender?" Wang Hengyue didn't expect it this time.
"Yes, that, that envoy from Renci said that wherever our army went, Tibetans were shaken. He didn't want to rebel, but he had to. Wherever our army went, Tibetans were shaken.
And Hengshuai treated the Tibetans kindly and did not go on a killing spree like Butcher Zhao. Therefore, he did not want to fight anymore and asked Hengshuai to accept the surrender."
"You don't want to rebel? You have to rebel?" Wang Hengyue sneered. How can these people's words be trusted?
After thinking for a while, he looked back at his brothers, who had fought all the way from 411 to here. Although his morale was high, his tired look still showed: "Yes! Let Renci Wangjie lead the rebels to Jiangxi
Put down your weapons twenty miles away from Da! Those who surrender will not be killed; those with ulterior motives will be killed without mercy! Yang Sen's fifth regiment surrendered first!" "Yes!" It was already afternoon when we arrived at Jiang Da. We wanted to keep our lives.
Rentse Wangjie, who was ordered to do so, did not break his promise, led all the rebels to the designated location, and handed over their weapons.
Capturing Jiangda without firing a shot was something Wang Hengyue had never thought of before. It seems that the rebels are not monolithic. As long as you remain strong enough, they will also be afraid of surrendering!
"Renci Wangjie joins Hengshuai!" I don't know where I heard the word "Hengshuai" from, but Renciwangjie actually shouted in a decent manner.
"Since you have surrendered, you will be treated separately from other rebels. There is no need to worry about your life." Wang Hengyue, who was riding on the horse, nodded.
Rentse Wangjie breathed a sigh of relief: "Please let Hengshuai go into the city to rest. Rentsewangjie will lead the way for Hengshuai.
Renci Wangjie walked in front and led the way with all due respect.
This is the second time Wang Hengyue has entered Jiangda. Things have changed and people have changed. This time he captured Jiangda without firing a shot. His mood is very different.
"The name of Hengshuai is so powerful in Tibet that he has won the admiration of Tibetan people in Jiangda twice!" Renci Wangjie said with utmost respect.
"Capturing Jiang Da is nothing, it's just a matter of changing hands." Wang Hengyue didn't care.
After walking forward for a while, Wang Hengyue suddenly asked: "Renci Wangjie, how many troops do you have?" Renci Wangjie was surprised: "I have 1,200 men."
"Oh, how many cavalry, how many infantry?"
"Most of them are cavalry." Renci Wangjie became increasingly puzzled.
"Where are the horse breeds?" "Back to Hengshuai, there are Tibetan horses, Suoke Tibetan horses, green-haired horses, etc. The main ones are Tibetan horses. I wonder if Hengshuai has any advice?"
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "Renci Wangjie, you chose to surrender and not fight with our army. It's very good. I will definitely report back to the government to commend you. I have something to discuss with you!" "Heng Shuai, please feel free to ask.
speak."
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "I would like to invite you and your people to my place to train cavalry for me?" "Go to Hengshuai's place" Renci Wangjie was dumbfounded.
Surrendering is one thing, but letting yourself leave Tibet is another.
Renciwangjie said bravely: "Hengshuai, Renciwangjie has been here since he was a child, and this family still has..."
"Don't worry, I'll pick it up for you."
Wang Hengyue interrupted him: "The bitter cold land of Tibet, with its bustling flowers, I think it is better than where you stay? When you get there, you will also enjoy my officer's well-being, and your subordinates will be accommodated and paid by the army."
How about I handle it?" Seeing Renci Wangjie's hesitant look, Wang Hengyue stopped and said, "What's the future of being a rebel? How can it be compared to the bright future of being a regular army? Besides, since you surrendered today, what will happen to you?
If the lama knows about it, how can he let you go?" These words spoke to Renci Wangjie's heart, and this was what he was most worried about.
Wang Hengyue smiled again: "Don't worry, you can help me well and I will never treat you badly. "Yes, Hengshuai!" Renciwangjie's heart skipped a beat: "Since Renciwangjie has demoted Hengshuai, from now on
I will follow Hengshuai wholeheartedly without any second thoughts and will never repeat myself!" "Okay, that's what I want from you!" Wang Hengyue said in approval.
He became Wang Hengyue's subordinate and turned into a regular army. Renci Wangjie was so impressed that he took a few steps forward and introduced: "Hengshuai, this Jiangda has always been an important military transportation place in Tibet. Since ancient times, the inland has been connected.
There are four roads to Tibet, the West Qinghai-Tibet Road, the Middle Qinghai-Tibet Road, the East Qinghai-Tibet Road, and the 11th Tibet Post Road. Among them, except for the West Qinghai-Tibet Road, three of them pass through Jiangda, so this place is extremely important. "Weizang Tongzhi, records
Jiangda is the choke point of Tibet, and officers and soldiers are stationed for defense. The economy here is very prosperous for Tibet. Because of the prosperity of the economy, the military, and the geographical location of transportation are very important, it has naturally become a battleground for military strategists."
Wang Hengyue said "En" and saw a strange stone in front of him. It was shaped very much like a person's profile and was wearing a conical hat worn by princes and nobles in the Tubo era. He asked curiously: "What stone is that?"
"The locals call this stone the sacred stone of Songtsan Gampo." Renci Wangjie hurriedly replied: "It is said that when Songtsan Gampo came back from marrying Princess Wencheng, he passed by this place. It rained heavily and the road was blocked. So Songtsan Gampo
He sent one of his cherished mythical parrots to fly out to check the road conditions ahead. Unexpectedly, the parrot flew away and did not return for several days. Songtsen Gampo was very anxious. He came here every day and eagerly waited for the parrot to come back. The parrot sensed the owner's anxious mood.
, regardless of rest, rushed back day and night, and finally brought the good news to Songtsan Gampo, but the parrot himself fell down in front of Songtsen Gampo because of overwork. Songtsen Gampo was very sad.
I stood there looking at my cherished mythical beast for a long time, and even the stones on the roadside sensed Zampu's sadness, and slowly turned into Zampu's appearance, where I kept looking at it as a sacred stone..." "Songtsen Gampo"
?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Back then, when he invaded our border and killed my people, if I hadn't sent out troops in a rage and fought in Songzhou, I would have frightened him and defeated him, hehe."
Renci Wangjie was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak up.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the ancients." Wang Hengyue waved his hand.
Seeing that Wang Hengyue seemed very dissatisfied, Renci Wangjie rolled his eyes a few times and suddenly said: "Heng Shuai defeated Jiangda twice with more success than the sun and the moon. The descendants of Jiangda Tibetans must not forget it.
In this case, Renciwangjie had an idea, why not change Jiangda's name, take the word "Heng" from Hengshuai, and change Jiangda to "Hengcheng." "What?" Wang Hengyue was stunned for a moment, and did not think of Renciwang at all.
Jie came up with this for himself: "Hengcheng?"
"Heng Shuai, this is the best thing to say!" Yang Sen on the side said loudly: "Hengcheng is very good and wonderful. Let the people here remember from generation to generation who is the master here and who pacified this place.
!" "Nonsense!" Wang Hengchu smiled and shook his head.
But he thought it was nonsense, but his subordinates thought that Renci Wangjie's idea was a good idea.
"Hengcheng" not only records the achievements of Commander Heng, but also records the achievements of the soldiers who went on the expedition!
It was also from this day on that Jiang Da gradually became known as "Hengcheng"!
Although Hengcheng was recovered, the fight against the rebellion changed again.
Under Yin Changheng's vigorous instigation, the State Council ordered Cai Guo to consolidate the northern Yunnan gateway without advancing.
The Yunnan Army was constrained by Beijing and the 11th Army from time to time, which greatly affected the speed of its attack.
President Yuan Shikai then ordered the governor of Yunnan, Cai Hui: "The British interfered and the Republic of China was first established. How could it be allowed to lightly launch foreign provocations and suppress the 11th border? Governor Yin had appointed himself as the chief executive, and the preparation of troops and pay was all managed by this governor.
"Since there is no need to fight for Governor Cai, Commander Yin will not advance lightly and reincarnate." Under the orders of the State Council and Yuan Shikai, the Yunnan Army must withdraw to its original defense. At the same time, the 11th Governor Yin Changheng also mobilized troops to march towards Yanjing and forced them to use force.
Retake the salt well.
4.11 Governor Yin Changheng had always been suspicious of Yunnan, fearing that the Yunnan army would occupy his territory and that the Yunnan army would take the lead in the fight against rebellion. Coupled with financial problems, Cai Zhen was heartbroken and had no choice but to do anything.
"The one who fell short was not Cai Wei, but Wang Hengyue!" Cai Wei held the telegram in his hand and said sadly: "Wang Hengyue sent troops to Tibet twice to suppress the rebellion. Both times he saw victory, but had to withdraw his troops! The Manchus and Qing Dynasties
This is how the Republic of China is, what a pity!"
However, Cai Zhen didn't know that Wang Hengyue didn't care after receiving the order to retreat.
This was something that was expected. He had sent out troops twice, already established a great reputation in Tibet, and had a clear grasp of the terrain of Tibet.
And more importantly, I have left a "seed" in Tibet and am just waiting for it to bloom and germinate.
Although the two counter-insurrections were not successful, when the third counter-insurgency came, Wang Hengyue knew that the final winner must be himself!
