After the whole army converged, Zhan Donglu and Liu Jintang decided to divide the troops after discussion: Liu Jintang led the old Hunan army to the south to Yingjishar and Yarkand, and Zhan Donglu led the Xuan army to attack Kashgar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this way, the first is to cut off the north-south connection between the rebels and prevent Yingjishar and Yarkand from rescuing Kashgar; Second, it is to compete with Berkhuri's "Slaughter of Han Order" -- when the army moves south, the gun is on the head, and Ingishal, Yarkand, Khotan and other places may not dare to carry out Berkhuri's "chaotic order."

In addition, based on the analysis of the existing intelligence, the capture of Kashgar and the Xuan Army are more than enough, and the division of troops will not have any substantial impact on the war situation in Kashgar.

The plan must be implemented immediately, Zhan Donglu ordered the Xuan army: Hurry up, Kashgar!

When the Xuan army was a few miles away from Kashgar, they saw from a distance that Seoul was in flames, with gunfire and shouts of killing.

Zhan Donglu ordered to attack.

The Xuan army divided its troops into two routes, one to attack the east gate and the other to the north gate, with the focus on the east gate.

As soon as they came into contact, there was basically no substantive engagement, and as soon as they saw the figure of the blue-uniformed soldiers, the rebels who defended the wild card abandoned their cards and fled.

Soon, the Xuan army went straight to the city of Kashgar.

At this time, a group of two or three thousand rebels rushed to reinforce the east gate in a chaotic manner, which was the part of the troops withdrawn from the attack on Kashgar Hancheng. After being shot in two rows, he turned around and went west, pushing and trampling on each other along the way, only hating his father and mother for not giving him a third leg.

After the Xuan army followed the bandits and invaded the city, they never encountered decent resistance, and the collapse of the "Hongfu Khanate" was a foregone conclusion.

Berkhuri also saw this situation clearly, and he discarded the illusion of continuing to resist, and ordered to withdraw from Kashgar and retreat westward.

In fact, before he gave this order, his subordinates had already done this - the east gate and the north gate had fallen; The south gate is still in hand, but the road to Ingishal in the south has been cut off by the Chinese, and if you don't flee west, where else can you escape?

However, Berkhuri did not take the lead as soon as he said "escape" like Bai Yanhu, he still had things to do in Kashgar.

Of course, it's not to stay and break off.

He was going to go to one place first - his "Emir's Palace".

Entered the palace, passed through the corridor, walked all the way, and shouted all the way: "Renagul!" Renagul! ”

As soon as they met, Berkhuri said: "The Chinese have entered the city!" We've got to go! Hurry up! ”

Renagul was still calm, "Let's go? Where to go? ”

"Go west!"

"Can you get away?"

Berkhuri was stunned, "Of course you can go!" ――After entering the country of Kokand, the Chinese will have no way to take us! ”

"Kokand country? Will they take us in? ”

"Absolutely! - I'm a Kokand man! ”

"But," Renagul said lightly, "didn't your father say that he was going to 'go west' to Kokand?" After fighting there, the Kokand Kingdom will guard against the 'Hongfu Khanate' like a thief, how can it take us in? ”

Berkhuri was stunned again, "They won't take us in, so let's go in!" The Chinese can't beat it, and the Kokand people can't beat it? - Hey, I said you don't have to rub it any longer! Where to go, go out! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

After a pause, he said in a warning tone, "Don't leave anything to chance!" If you fall into the hands of Chinese, even if you are not humiliated, you are a 'rebel', according to the law of Chinese, what do you want...... That's right, 'to the armoured men' slaves! Is that the life of a man? -- Still humiliated! ”

Renagul nodded, "Okay, I'll clean up, you wait for me for a while." ”

With that, he turned around and went to bed.

Berkhuri shouted, "Hurry up! Don't take too much! Time is running out! ”

But after a little half a cup of tea, Renagul came out.

Berkhuri looked at her hand, and couldn't help but be stunned again-

His left hand is empty, and his right hand is holding a short gun.

Berkhuri frowned, "Hey, what are you doing with this?" You are a woman's family, and you don't need to fight and kill along the way......"

Before he could finish speaking, Renagul raised her short gun and tapped the trigger at him.

With a loud "bang", Burkhuri fell backwards and fell to the ground on his back.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Renagul's beautiful face fell down.

There was a big hole in Burkhuri's chest, and his mouth opened and opened, but he couldn't speak.

There was a flame in Renagul's shining eyes, "You must want to ask, why did I kill you?" ”

Be...... Why are you killing me?

"Thief! You are Kokand, I am a Uyghur! Your father, my mother, my brothers, my whole family, you have killed me! My little brother, not yet five years old, was pierced by you with a spear and thrown into the fire! - He's crying, you're laughing! ”

Speaking of this, Renagul's flower-like face was already slightly distorted, "Then, I will become your trophy and your property!" - Now, you know why I killed you, right? ”

Got it...... That's why you were "bought" by me and killed my father, right? Alas, I'm so stupid...... I thought you liked me to some extent......

Berkhuri's consciousness began to blur.

Renagul straightened up, "Actually, I don't want to kill you with my own hands - I will hand you over to the imperial army, escort you to Beijing, and execute you in Ling Chi, I think it is more painful - it's a pity that I am afraid that I will shoot too right!" ”

The last thought on Berkhuri's mind before he passed out was: That...... Shouldn't I thank you?

Renagul's shot was indeed "shot too rightly" and hurt her heart, and her wish for Berkhuri to be "escorted to Beijing and executed by Ling Chi" was not fulfilled -- although he was rescued by Xuanjun's military doctors, Berkhuri was too seriously injured and finally died after a few hours of delay.

The remnants of the "Hongfu Khanate" fled all the way to the west, and the cavalry of the Xuan army pursued them all the way to the border between China and Kokand.

Renagul's judgment was correct: the people of Kokand refused to allow this group of compatriots to enter the country.

One reason is that Renagul said that since Agubai claimed to "go west" to Kokand, "the country of Kokand is like a thief guarding against the 'Hongfu Khanate'"; And more, and more importantly, the Xuan army made it clear that if the Kokand people took in the rebels, they would enter the country and pursue them.

The rebels who escaped from Kashgar died and surrendered, and almost all of them were destroyed.

Including Alidash, who is oiled on the soles of the feet in advance.

Alidash fled to the remote Pamir Plateau in Selkul, thinking that the emperor was far away and there was no more danger, but he did not know that the local Tajiks had already "anyway" - they were led by a young man named Alifu to kill the puppet officials of the "Hongfu Khanate" stationed there, and made contact with the army of the Western Expedition.

As a result, Alidash became a prisoner of the Tajiks in a daze, and then was handed over to the western expeditionary army of Kashgar.

The only important person who is missing is Bai Yanhu.

It didn't take long for Ingishar and Yarkand to also come with good news, the two places had been reconquered, the resistance was very weak, the process was very smooth, and the local Han people were not poisoned -- the local "Hongfu Khanate" puppet officials did receive the "order to slaughter the Han" sent by Kashgar, but at the same time, they also received the threat that the Western Expeditionary Army "has those who dare to carry out the rebellion, regardless of the master and slave, flee to the ends of the earth, and also want to be captured, and the corpses will be broken into thousands of pieces".

After the restoration of Yingishar and Yarkand, Zhandonglu sent Tao Maolin to settle Hotan - this was even smoother, before the official army arrived in Hotan, the local "Hongfu Khanate" puppet officials had already dispersed, and the Hotan people opened the city gates, ate pot pulp, flowers and wine, and welcomed the imperial army.

So far, all the eight southern cities have been recovered.

At the same time, news came from the north that the receiving personnel sent by the Urumqi Qin Xingyuan had arrived in Ili, and Taranqi obediently handed over all his power and troops.

So far, after nearly a year of fighting, Xinjiang, which has been out of the country since Tongzhi for three years, has finally returned to China's embrace completely.

Jin Ou consolidated.
