C3386 Ivu River Valley (2/2)
By controlling this place, he could control the south and the north!
However, as the Qing Dynasty's national power gradually weakened, the Western Tribes started to get restless. The first was Yaqub's rebellion against the pars dorsalis, which started to engulf the entire southern border.
It was impossible for the area of Yili to not be affected. Tongzhi had been well-informed in the past five years and had been surrounded by pars dorsalis thugs within the General's Estate less than three years after taking office.
At that time, the entire Yili area was already in chaos, Yaqub and the local rebel soldiers started to kill and loot, preparing to take over the Ivu River Valley.
General Ming Wen had no strength to fight to the end. He had to retreat to the inner chamber and burn his own family down to sacrifice his own country!
On the other hand, General Ming Wen's deputy, the Yili's Counsellor, Rong Quan had become the strongest official in the Yili. At that time, he had assigned Rong Quan to borrow food from Sha Ao, but who would have known that the Sha Russian would not only not borrow food, he had actually detained him.
It was only until the chaos in the Yili that Rong Quan took the chance to escape. As there were no soldiers around him who could suppress the rebellion, he could only flee to the Northern Frontier Tower city.
In the tower city, Rong Quan was appointed as the new General Yili. He was starting to organize training for the Kazakh and Mongolian soldiers.
Two General Yili s, a whole family had died a tragic death and a lonely northern city had retreated. A power vacuum had suddenly appeared in the entire Yili region.
”My dear ones! Guess what? ” Hu Laosan said with a bitter face as he smoked.
”It's really strange, those Yaqub rebel soldiers and rebel gangsters actually started to retreat! from Tongzhi's fifth year to now, it's been ten years! ”
”To think that there are no enemies fighting in the Yili anymore. The veterans like us who were left behind in Karen managed to maintain order, and we managed to do so for five years!”
”Why do you think it is?”
At the side, Sir Gordon's face darkened as he suddenly said, ”Why else? Of course it's the Russian!”
When the Uncle Hu San saw the British large nose, he was not willing to speak. At the side, Duo Luo advised, ”Third Uncle …” This Sir Gordon is not an outsider, this is the His Majesty's General Yu Du! Someone who has been rewarded with a yellow vest! ”
”I won't hide it from you. My name is Duo Luo, and this is Guan Lu …” All of us are from the Manchu, we are all guards for the Emperor in the Forbidden City! ”
”What?” Uncle Hu San's hand trembled, and a pot of red-hot soot appeared in his hand. ”Aiyo, aiyo, don't fire!
Seeing the identity token of the Golden-purple City, of course the Uncle Hu San wouldn't understand. However, he could choose to believe that these relatives from the south would come.
”Wuwuwu …” Third Uncle wiped away his tears and cried, ”It's good that Your Majesty didn't forget this place. It's good that you didn't forget us old bastards!”
”I kowtowed to the lords!” After saying that, the Uncle Hu San was about to kowtow to Duo Luo, Guan Lu and Gordon.
How could these people bear to make the older soldiers kneel down and worship them? Now, they no longer had the bad habit they had in the Beijing.
”Don't kowtow to us …” I think we kowtowed to you... If you want to kneel, do it towards the Beijing … Let's give His Majesty a knock! ”
”His Majesty!” Uncle Hu San faced Beijing and kowtowed to him, ”Oh, His Majesty!” Why didn't you send someone over earlier … Wu wu wu … ”We're guarding it too hard …”
”We're not afraid of death. We're just afraid that we won't be able to defend ourselves in the end …” Even if I were to die, I won't be able to bury my body in the ground! ”
”His Majesty... Don't lose this piece of dirt... ”Wuu!”
”I've finally met my relatives in the Central Plains …” ”I've finally seen it …”
At that moment, whether it was the Manchu, the Chinese or the Europeans, all of them cried!
