Volume 4 The Battle of Reunification Chapter 553 Sino-Japanese Xinjiang Conflict

This is to seize military power, Yang Zengxin felt that the knife was on his neck, he was unconvinced but had to obey, so he could only say helplessly: "General Shangwu, old and old, I hope to return to my hometown Yunnan to live in peace, I hope the general will forgive me." ”

Wang Maoru knew that this was just a bargain, so he smiled and said: "Why should the old general be like this, with you, the king of Xinjiang, you can benefit the country and the people, Xiusheng I just proposed a little bit of construction, the old general must not be disappointed because of this." And, if the old general leaves, what will happen if the Black Lama rebellion breaks out again? Do you rely on these black lamas cholera my Republic of China? ”

The most prominent achievement that Yang Zengxin did in his life was to quell the rebellion and the division of the black lama, and when he heard Wang Maoru's praise, he couldn't help but smuff his beard.

"Old general, stabilize Xinjiang, there is no second choice except you, and the old general will refuse. I will not allow your resignation, and I will not allow it. Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Governor Yang, in the future, if you encounter trouble, discuss with the staff of the White Tiger Legion that I left in Taixi Province and Anxi Province, and they will help you." ”

Yang Zengxin was surprised: "Taixi Province? Anzay province? What is this place? ”

Wang Maoru liked to see his surprised expression, and motioned to Ma Liang on the side, who immediately explained that these two provinces were the outer northwest of the former Qing Dynasty that was ceded by Russia, and now they have been actually recovered and occupied by Xiushuai. Yang Zengxin was surprised, and suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "General Shangwu has recovered the outer northwest, a miracle through the ages, Yang is willing to serve General Shangwu all his life, and he is also contaminated with the residual prestige of the eternal legacy." ”

"Governor Yang, please get up, please get up." Wang Mao is like a positive color. "Governor Yang, it has not been fully announced at this time, it is still a secret that our army occupies the outer northwest and drives and slaughters a large number of Kazakh natives. The first purpose is to warn Governor Yang not to follow the example of Jiang Gui's old general, and his fate will be known. The second purpose is to tell Governor Yang that the northwest is the place I value the most, and the northwest is rich in mineral resources. It has a beautiful natural scenery. I regard the Northwest as a slave to the Golden House, and I will never allow anyone to covet the Northwest. I also give you a task. ”

Hearing that Wang Mao had a task handed over to him, Yang Zengxin immediately got up and said, "General Shangwu, please speak, Yang will be willing to complete the task of showing off his hand." ”

Wang Maoru said: "You really have to do this with all your heart, otherwise you really can't do it." ”

Yang Zengxin was startled, and said in his heart that he wouldn't want to borrow my head, right? This is a big loss, patting himself to death, and suddenly colorful expressions on his face emerged, and it was not a taste of life.

Wang Maoru continued: "I will build a big railway to govern China. It stretches from Changchun City in the east to Almaty in the west. During the period, the main road sections were Baicheng, Kulun, Uriya Sutai, Hami, Turpan, Urumqi, Ili, Almaty, and Kurgan. Of course. It is possible that this railway will be built in 20 years, or 30 years, and I hope you can help me build this 6,000-kilometer-long national defense railway that runs through the North Republic of China. Governor Yang, this is a national defense railway, remember, it is national defense! Can you help me? ”

Yang Zengxin immediately said excitedly: "If I can build such a railway in my life, I will have no regrets even if I die!" ”

After Yang Zengxin left. He Rufei, Yong Xingbao and Xiong Bingtao walked out from behind, and Xiong Bingtao said: "Xiushuai, is this Yang Zengxin reliable?" ”

"Is a toothless wolf still called a wolf?" Wang Maoru asked rhetorically.

Several people laughed, and Wang Maoru said again: "Tomorrow." Force him to disarm. "The political family is like this, one second two people are like brothers, and the next second they turn their faces and kill each other ruthlessly, Wang Maoru sneered, revealing a cold-blooded and ruthless side.

The next day there was a tragedy, several Japanese soldiers strong. Violent a local Uyghur girl, triggering Uyghur revenge. The Uyghurs were not called Uyghurs at this time, but Uighurs, and the term Uyghurs was officially established by Yang Zengxin in 1925. Uighurs are fierce and devout Sunnis in Islam, and they will not allow their women to be defiled. The Uyghurs bought guns from some of the Russian refugees to protect themselves, and they reacted violently, immediately organizing hundreds of Uighur youths to besiege the Japanese military camp and demand the surrender of the Japanese soldiers.

However, the Japanese were habitually fierce and brutal in the face of Central Asians, and they slaughtered a large number of Central Asians in Central Asia, and at this time, in the face of the provocation of the Uyghurs, they unceremoniously shot and slaughtered nearly 100 local Uyghur youths, causing a serious conflict between the local people in Xinjiang and the Japanese intervention army.

Wang Maoru was awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire when he was sleeping, and Wu Qiuyue, who was beside him, drew a pistol to protect Wang Maoru in front of him, and said vigilantly: "There are assassins? He was moved by her actions, and gently patted her on the back and signaled, "The gunfire is far away, it should be three kilometers away, but this gunfire is also a little dense...... It should be the Japanese army there. After he got dressed, guard Li Ziqi reported that Adjutant Ma had an emergency, Wang Maoru asked Ma Liang to come in, only to see Ma Liang said with a sad face: "Trouble, trouble, Xiu Shuai, the Japanese and the local Uyghur people have fought, three or four hundred Uyghurs have died, and thirty or forty Japanese have also died." ”

Wang Maoru didn't answer after hearing this, but just washed his face silently, but the warm towel handed by Wu Qiuyue wiped his face, and said lightly: "That's fine, so be it." ”

"That's it?" Ma Liang said in surprise.

Wang Maoru said: "This is the territory of Xinjiang, it is the territory of Yang Zengxin, the Japanese have killed people here, Yang Zengxin should negotiate with the Japanese, why are you in a hurry." ”

"But he wasn't ...... yesterday"

Wang Maoru patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, unfortunately, we have no jurisdiction over this matter." Seeing the confusion on Ma Liang's face, he said again: "Young man, you are only twenty-two years old, and you don't understand many things." After you go back this time, you can get out of the army and exercise. He pointed to his head and said, "This is what you lack, and you are not ruthless enough." Ma Liang was stunned.

The local people carried the corpses to the Xinjiang Overseer's Mansion, and the dilapidated Xinjiang Overseer's Mansion was full of Uyghur people, who asked Yang Zengxin to express his position and give an explanation, this conflict actually caused 64 Uyghur youths to be killed and more than 70 injured, and because of the Uyghurs' counterattack, 12 Japanese Army personnel were killed and 23 people were injured, which shows the bloody and belligerent nature of the Uyghurs. On the one hand, the Japanese strongly demanded that the local rioters be severely punished, and on the other hand, the local people demanded that the Japanese criminals be severely punished. He did not dare to offend the Japanese, and he was unable to explain to the people, and the tribes and people in Xinjiang also triggered large-scale protests and riots because the Japanese intervention army raped Uyghur girls and shot Uyghur protesters.

Yang Zengxin, who was powerless to stop it, was forced to announce his resignation because of this matter, and the Beiyang government negotiated overnight to discuss who would succeed him as the overseer of Xinjiang, but Xu Shuzheng said: "Isn't Wang Maoru in Xinjiang?" Leave it to him, isn't he still a patrol envoy in Mongolia? Duan Qirui laughed and said: "Yes, since he is a patrol envoy to Mongolia, he has the responsibility to deal with the Xinjiang issue, let him temporarily act as the Xinjiang overseer, and kick this ball to him." ”

The killing of Japanese people in Xinjiang once again triggered a nationwide protest, and for a while, boycotts of Japanese products and voices of boycott of Japanese people rose one after another. Many people even attacked Wang Maoru in the newspapers, saying that he should not have saved the Japanese army by luring wolves into the house, and that he was a traitor and a sinner of the Chinese nation. Of course, the people who wrote such newspapers soon disappeared somehow, and no one knew where they went, perhaps sinking at the bottom of the Huangpu River. Wang Maoru was disdainful when he received the order of the temporary acting overseer, and replied to Duan Qirui: "I am not just an official for the country and the people, the central government allows me to be an overseer, why use a pronoun, why not use both?" Could it be that the central government uses me like a mustard? ”

Duan Qirui gritted his teeth and said to Xu Shichang: "Give it to him, give him the Xinjiang territory, but I want to see how he looks at Xinjiang, which is thousands of miles away." So the Beiyang government announced that Wang Maoru, the Mongolian Xinjiang patrol envoy and the governor of Northeast China, would immediately serve as the Xinjiang overseer.

At this time, a large number of Uyghurs ran to the camp of the Chinese intervention army, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, demanding revenge for their tribesmen and severe punishment of the perpetrators.

Now, Xinjiang has become Wang Maoru's territory, but the trouble has also kicked him, and the whole country is paying attention to this matter, and the Japanese government is also watching this matter, and they are all watching how Wang Maoru handles this strict diplomatic conflict.

On October 24, 1919, Wang Maoru announced his inauguration in the Xinjiang Governor's Office in Dihua, Xinjiang, and then first buried the dead Uyghur people, and then compensated the injured people, temporarily let the people's feelings be stable, and then negotiated with the Japanese military to deal with it. Wang Maoru has not indicated how to deal with this conflict, which also makes Bai Chuanyi very confused, and when he learned that Wang Maoru wanted to talk to him, he discussed with his subordinates and said: "In terms of Wang Xiushengjun's character, he will definitely be tough, we must be ready to fight, maybe they will attack us in the next second." The subordinates hurriedly said hi, and then prepared to guard against the sneak attack of the squadron.

Wang Maoru's attitude was very clear, handing over the five Japanese soldiers who raped the Uyghur girl, and as for the soldiers who killed the Uyghur youth, it was for the purpose of defending the barracks, and he did not make much mistake. At that time, the Uyghur masses were too radical, and the Japanese soldiers killed many Central Asians in Central Asia, thinking that these people all looked the same and should be Russian refugees in Central Asia, and they immediately shot at random. Wang Maoru took his subordinates and Hu Tianfeng, director of the Xinjiang Police Security Department, to the Japanese military camp to negotiate, and said to Shirakawa Yoshinori: "On Chinese soil, one qiē comes according to Chinese law. They don't understand the law, they stormed your barracks, killed and injured more than 100 people, and they really deserve to die. But what about the girl who was raped and killed? Who is responsible for her death? ”

Shirakawa Yoshinori said: "The Imperial Japanese Army will never hand over its soldiers, and if we bring them back from distant Russia, we will not be able to lose any Japanese soldiers." ”

The two sides glared angrily, and the swords were tense, Wang Maoru gritted his teeth and said, "So, we don't have to talk?" He waved his hand and said, "Northeast Army, get on the bayonet and prepare for a battle!" ”

"Whoa!" Hu Tianfeng, the governor of Xinjiang Province and the director of the Police Security Department, who was standing on the side, shouted excitedly.
