But in the history of more than 2,000 years of development, Xinjiang, a land composed of deserts and mountains, has been staged killing and bloodshed, in this ancient land has never been peaceful, especially in modern China, due to the Qing government's ** rule, foreign invasion, the situation in Xinjiang has changed more confusingly, so that the late Qing court has a headache for this land, and some court officials (Li Hongzhang, etc.) have written to the emperor, saying that they want to give up this "land of right and wrong" Giving up this piece of land with more than 1.6 million square kilometers, fortunately, Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had a warm heart, and this iron-clad Hunan Han carried the coffin to conquer, and he finally brought down the chaotic Xinjiang again.
Xinjiang has a large number of ethnic groups, in addition to the Han nationality, there are more than a dozen ethnic minorities such as Uygurs, Kazakhs, Mongolians, Hui, etc., in history, the relationship between the Han rulers and the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang is rarely harmonious, and the resistance is continuous, Xinjiang is located on the border, bordering Mongolia, the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries, border conflicts occur from time to time.
For example, on the border issue, there is no one on the border between Xinjiang and many bordering countries, it is a boundless no-man's land and desert Gobi, there are no fixed markers, the so-called borders are also vaguely located, coupled with the continuous flow of sand dunes, for thousands of years, no one can tell which place is the national border.
In modern times, with the development of science and technology, Xinjiang's rich geographical resources have also been detected, which has aroused the eyesight of foreign peoples, and the modern Manchu government is incompetent, the country is poor and weak, and there is no ability to ensure the political situation in Xinjiang, Xinjiang has become an eventful place, in 1851, the Manchu government signed the first unequal treaty with Tsarist Russia (unequal treaty on Xinjiang), and the Sino-Russian Ita Trade Charter. The chaotic treaties were one after another, and the Tsarist Empire not only controlled the market in Xinjiang, but also cut off more than 400,000 square kilometers of land. The entire size of two Korean peninsulas has been crossed out in a matter of decades (South Korea covers an area of 90,000 square kilometers). North Korea 120,000), the matter is not over, in the later stage of the Liberation War, the United States government that supported the Kuomintang also lost confidence, in order to leave a hidden danger for the new China to be established, the US government set up a consulate general in Xinjiang is ready to move, Deputy Consul General Maknan with a series of people and other activities. Incitement to stand up, incitement of all kinds of ethnic antagonism, what the so-called East Turkestan and East Turkestan left a bane at that time.
Fortunately, many people in the Kuomintang army in the former Xinjiang believed that no matter how the Kuomintang fought with the Kuomintang, it was also an internal matter of the country, and if they wanted to stand up, not only did they disagree, but the Kuomintang also disagreed. After Tao Zhiyue, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang garrison in Xinjiang, announced the uprising, Bao Erhan, chairman of the Xinjiang Nationalist Government, also announced that he would submit to the jurisdiction of China's ** central government.
The Kuomintang army revolted, and the government obeyed. So is that the end of the matter? Is there peace of mind about the Xinjiang issue? In fact, the matter is far from over.
There are more than 100,000 Kuomintang defenders in Xinjiang, and not all of these 100,000 troops are Tao Zhiyue's descendants, but some of them are troops of the Chiang and Gui lines, that is to say, Tao Zhiyue's orders may not necessarily be implemented, and he may not be able to completely shake the scene. Follow the example of the little ghost to follow the three-light policy, turn the eastern part of Xinjiang and all the highways that can enter Xinjiang into a no-man's land, so that the PLA will not be able to settle down there, and then retreat to southern Xinjiang, relying on the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains. Backed by foreign forces, it has been engaged in long-term maneuvers with the PLA.
Fortunately, Commander Tao Zhiyue decisively took a series of measures to prevent the above things from happening, and the original Chiang and Gui people in Xinjiang also lost confidence in Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi, and even the main force of the millions of Kuomintang troops is not the opponent of the PLA.
Just when the top brass of the former Kuomintang army in Xinjiang interacted with the chief organ of the First Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, the time quietly came to October 1, what day was this? It was a day of celebration for the whole country, and when the news reached Jiuquan, the entire army was boiling, and even Li Yong, a latecomer, was incomparably happy, not to mention the old Red Army and the old Eighth Route who had fought for more than 20 years.
People cheered, rejoiced, and used all means to celebrate the happiness in their hearts, the people's army has carried out armed struggle for more than 20 years, sacrificed countless cadres and soldiers, and finally ushered in this day, how can people not be happy.
The history of the People's Army is counted from the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927, but this is just an approximate day, or a commemorative day, and the real experience of armed struggle is even earlier, which the old revolutionaries of the Northwest Field Army feel deeply, for example, the eldest sister Li Zhen, who is currently the head of the organization section of the Field Army Headquarters, is an old qualification to participate in the revolution in 1926, and her seniority is terrifying. The time of participating in the revolution was a year earlier than the famous Commander Wang Zhen, and the eldest sister Li Zhen used to be the deputy director of the organization department of the Red Second Front Army, and few people could compare with her in terms of position and qualifications, and if it were not for gender reasons, the eldest sister Li, who had been in charge of the armed struggle in the county at the age of 18, would have been higher than the major general when she was awarded the title in 55.
Everyone is happy, and of course Brigadier Li Yong and Brigadier Li are also very happy, but unlike others, Li Yong is also faintly worried in his happiness, because Brigadier Li is very clear that he has not been in Jiuquan for a few days, and the troops are about to enter Xinjiang, what will they do after entering Xinjiang? Like the Second Army, it became a peasant construction corps and engaged in construction in Tuntian, Xinjiang? This was not his original purpose, and in this way, the independent brigade that had been painstakingly formed would be useless, and its strong combat effectiveness would no longer be able to be displayed.
There is worry in the joy, this is Li Yong's mood now, however, no one can sue sù in such a mood, not even Hu Xiaolian, the prospective wife, because if he says it, he is afraid that he will be arrested as a goblin, even if he is not caught as a goblin, the security department of the field army will talk to him, and you can know the strategic decision of the central government in advance? Is it possible!! So I had to bear it silently, but I still had to live the same day, and when Li Yong was suffering from gains and losses, Chen Haihan, the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, came over.
Who is Chief of Staff Chen Haihan? Don't look at the feeling that it is a big grin, in fact, it is very shrewd, and there is no sand in the eyes, Li Yong's feelings were keenly captured by him, and he shouted when he met: "Hey, I said Dayong, what's the matter with your child, New China was founded, ** and the heads of the Central Committee sat in the world, why do I look at you and seem to be a little unhappy, are you a little suspicious of the official?" This is easy to do, wait for the day I will make a report, give you my position as chief of staff, I will be the brigade commander of your independent brigade, let's change the two brothers, what do you think? ”
The old comrades-in-arms are happy together, and when they sit together to eat, Chen Haihan mysteriously told Li Yong a message: "Dayong, I won't eat your meal in vain, I will tell you in advance if there is a news, I heard that Mr. Peng is coming back from Beijing, and it is said that the superiors have a new policy to assign our Sixth Army to your First Corps and enter Xinjiang with you, how about it, it's shocking enough." ”
The news is indeed very shocking, Mr. Peng, who had just participated in the founding ceremony, was sitting in a jeep at this time, staggering towards Jiuquan, Beijing was still immersed in a festive atmosphere, but Mr. Peng's head had already put the festivity aside, because there were still big things waiting for him to complete.
Mr. Peng came back with three tasks, first, to prepare quickly, try to enter Xinjiang in November, eliminate bandits, stabilize order, and resume production. Second, it is necessary to prepare for the reclamation of the frontiers, the opening up of farmland, and the launching of a large-scale production campaign. Third, Shun lì took over the Laojunmiao Oil Mine (Yumen Oilfield) and let the machine scream and let the oil come out.
It is easy to take over the oil field, as long as the workers' feelings are stabilized, it is almost the same, but the first and second tasks are not so easy, especially the reclamation and opening up of the fields, this is not a task that can be completed in a day or two, Mr. Peng knows a lot about the history of Xinjiang, and knows the difficulties of the army on the border, which is a task that may take more than ten years and decades to struggle.
Who to send to accomplish this task??? Who can implement the decision of the higher authorities very well, ** The candidate given at that time was Wang Zhen, commander of the 1st Corps in the northwest of the famous earthquake.
Who doesn't know that the 359th Brigade, which was opened up in Nanniwan back then, has Commander Wang in Xinjiang, whether it is a war or Tuntian, it is a very suitable candidate.
At the same time that Mr. Peng returned to Jiuquan, Li Yong and his old comrade-in-arms Chief of Staff Chen Haihan also drank more and more wine, and Chief of Staff Chen asked with a little wine: "Dayong, I know that you have a lot of ghosts, you can tell me, what do we need to pay attention to when the army enters Xinjiang in the future."
