Forty-eight years of Qianlong

It has been almost a month since the Beihai Navy laid down the entire Xinjiang East Road. After Liu Sheng and Fan Tong followed the large force to the ancient city area, they set up their headquarters in Qitai.The four regiments of the cavalry brigade were split into two parts, respectively stationed in Huining City and Hami in Zhenxi Prefecture.Since Zhenxifu and Hami are both Man-Han and Man-Hui cities, they are actually governed by one regiment.

The takeover work after each siege is complicated and trivial. The North Navy Staff Headquarters even compiled a manual.

To put it simply, the basic procedure after entering the city is nothing more than to quickly take over the granaries, bank warehouses, and shelf warehouses.In addition, based on the roster, a preliminary screening of captives, surrendered Qing troops, and Yamen officials was carried out.

The Qing army, which completed the inspections in batches, could not let them idle, otherwise it would be easy to fight and make trouble, so building roads and tidying up barracks became inevitable choices.Anyway, the traffic conditions under the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the same, even in Beijing City; day after day, the loess padded roads made it muddy when it rained and snowed, and became muddy when it dried. It's flying all over the sky.

Just widening and hardening the roads in the city can be busy for several months, not to mention other urban renovations such as sewers, public toilets, and tree planting.With things to do, coupled with the timely distribution of rations and even salaries, the emotions of the prisoners and surrendered soldiers will soon stabilize, and at least their families will not have to go hungry.

Xinjiang East Road is not like Guannei. Although it has a large area, there are only six cities in total. In addition, there are Kai'an City and Mulei City, which are military fortresses.The Western Front Command had already prepared sufficient manpower, so everything started in an orderly manner.

During this period of time, the Beihai Navy had no contact with the local Uighurs and Kazakhs.Liu Sheng and Fan Tong also specially issued an order, strictly ordering all the departments of the Northern Navy not to enter the mosque, not to defecate next to the mosque, and not to eat pork products outside the barracks, etc.

Since the Qing Dynasty implemented a Han-Hui segregation policy in Xinjiang, which was intended to prevent ethnic minorities—especially Uyghurs from being sinicized, most Uyghurs did not understand Chinese, and everyone went their own way.Among them, the Hami area is the most special. The local Uighurs did not deal with the Manchu and Qing government, and their tribute and servants were only for the Hui king.

Considering the barriers of language communication, Fan Tong asked the military control committees of the three places to call the mullahs from the surrounding villages to appease these people and publicized the relevant policies of the Beihai Navy centered on "equality and unity". In addition, each village also distributed two thousand catties of mullahs Winter food.

This move by the North Navy surprised the mullahs. Although they didn't know much about the origin of this "rebel" and everything still needs to be seen, it is still very good to have food in winter, and it can be brought back to the village. Gain a wave of popularity.

While the Military Control Committee is busy stabilizing the local situation, the Beihai Navy stationed in various cities are also busy from morning to night, especially the officers at the company and platoon level; Hours of Uyghur language lessons.The person in charge of the Uyghur language class is the pen post style who once worked as a "commander" in the office of the minister of affairs in various places.

Originally, after the city was broken, these pen posters hated and feared the Beihai Navy.But they soon discovered something that shocked them; that is, there were quite a few former Han, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in the Northern Navy, not to mention that the chief and deputy brigade commanders of the cavalry brigade were armored soldiers of the Eight Banners and Manchuria soldier background.

This Nima is too subversive!It hurts to pinch my thigh, I'm not dreaming!
The military control will give these "teachers" a salary of 10 Beihai silver dollars per month, plus 120 catties of highland barley noodles or barley.If they do a good job, not only will they become official members of the military control committee, but each family will be allocated [-] acres of land.

The reason why such good conditions are given is mainly because these pen posts are the people who know the following situation best.Since most of them are proficient in Han, Manchu, Mongolian, and Uyghur languages, what they do every day is to issue orders from the top and send the affairs from the bottom to the top, which can directly affect the decisions of ministers in charge of affairs in various places.

Of course, when these people were under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they often colluded with Taiji and Burke, who were in charge of Uyghur civil affairs, to deceive the upper and lower and oppress the people.Therefore, before appointing them, they must be admonished to let them know that once they accept bribes and oppress the people again, the lighter ones will go to build roads with the captives, and the serious ones will be sent to Siberia.

It's hard to say whether this conversation "touched the depths of the soul", anyway, the minds of all the writers who were trained were buzzing, and everyone was terrified.

The matter of letting the officers and soldiers of the troops entering Xinjiang master the Uyghur language was already decided when Liu Sheng and Fan Tong formulated the combat plan.For this reason, Fan Tong issued a mobilization order in the name of the Political Department, and even brought over the "mobile red flag" system from another time and space.For officers who did not learn well, they were directly reported and criticized.

You must know the language barrier, let alone mobilize the Uyghurs to "beat local tyrants", the North Navy can't even hold a public trial meeting, spit on the stage and be impassioned for a long time without knowing what you are talking about, even if you open a warehouse to release food. People come to pick it up.

Furthermore, in another time and space, the gains and losses of the Manchu Qing’s governance experience in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains have proved that just forcing the Uyghurs to learn Chinese, while the Han people do not learn Uyghur, can only deepen the gap between the two sides.

In the history of another time and space, starting from the late Tongzhi period, the Qing court vigorously promoted Confucianism, established private schools, and promoted education in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The main contribution is to create a large number of mullahs and translators. The common people should not be able to eat or not, and continue to live a life of poverty in the dark.

Those who were forced to go to the private school even shouted "Hu Da Hu Da, why abuse me!"

In fact, the reason why Confucianism education and imperial examinations are difficult to implement in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains lies in the fact that the traditional classics education has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the ethnic minorities have inner resistance to Confucianism education. see it."

You say that he is illiterate, and people say that I type the palindromic letters of "Alibu" in elementary school; you tell him about the vast history of China, and people say that I have a "Tuo Like" that specializes in telling the history of the Western Regions; you say that you want to learn Confucian classics , people say I have "Kuruan".In addition, there is "Tipchitap" in medical books, "Li Sara" in agricultural books, and "Rusnamo" in yin and yang divination.
In short, because the Western Regions are located on the Silk Road, they have been influenced by Eastern and Western cultures for thousands of years.Only people who do practical things like Lin Zexu will be praised all the time.

The Beihai Navy who came to the Uighur language class were all instructors and officers at the first level of the company platoon. In order to keep the secrecy inside the barracks, the class was set up in the second hall of the Hami Minister's Office.They work from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every night. The specific content includes daily communication conversations, customs and habits of Uighurs and Kazakhs, diet, taboos in conversations, etc.

After a week, everyone was dizzy from learning, and many people even dreamed about "Aximses", "Rehemat", "Arkham", "Atam" and other words .Even walking in the barracks during the day, you can run into guys who mutter and talk.

The North Navy actually learns Uyghur!This surprised Sodick, who had been receiving treatment at the regimental medical center.But this also made him more convinced of Yun Yan's words: "Our team is different from all the officers and soldiers."

It is said that after returning to Hami with the Yunyan team, Sodick first went to the company headquarters to report.When they learned that Yunyan had actually made a Uighur friend, the company headquarters and the regiment headquarters all attached great importance to this, and then called the best military doctor in the regiment to treat his eyes.

It is said that the Beihai Navy has been established for so many years, but it is still in its infancy in military medicine.At present, the vast majority of military doctors in various units are actually at the level of ordinary battlefield lifeguards.They usually have to go through a one-year intensive training. The main teaching content is around a "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" jointly revised by Hong Tao and Wu Xianhou, basically from head to toe, from internal medicine to surgery, from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine.Anyway, as long as you are courageous, you dare not call out for any illness.

After examination, the military doctor found that Sodick's eyes were not completely blind, and he still had a little weak vision in his left eye.Since the military doctor often treated herdsmen when he was in Khobdo, and had seen a lot of eye diseases, he judged that Sodick’s condition was due to optic nerve atrophy and blindness caused by long-term imprisonment in the darkroom environment of the dungeon.

But it is a pity that nerve tissue cannot regenerate. Once damaged, it cannot be repaired. At present, the only treatment is to use eye drops to increase the outflow of aqueous humor and reduce intraocular pressure.Considering the side effects of eye drops and even allergic reactions to some people, it must be monitored at any time, so Sodick had to stay in the medical center.

After two weeks of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine plus eye drops, the condition of Sodick's left eye has improved, and he can already see blurred figures.It made him very excited, with a thousand words of joy and gratitude beyond words.

Yet another week passed, and that was all the army doctor's dismayed discovery.He originally wanted to send a telegram to Beihai Town Central Hospital to ask Wu Xianhou for advice, but Sodick couldn't wait any longer and insisted on going back to his hometown to have a look.

In desperation, Yunyan and the others had no choice but to accompany Sodick to Aletongleke Village, a few miles northwest of Huiwang Mansion.

As soon as he entered the village entrance, Sodick knelt on the ground excitedly, kissed the land, then cupped his hands, and said to himself, "My God! Fate arranged for me to travel around, and now I meet a kind-hearted person who leads me to the village. I'm back home. Thank goodness!"

His actions caught the attention of a passing villager.It was a Uighur woman who was dressed very thickly and covered her face with a cloth scarf. With vigilant and curious eyes, she looked up and down at Yunyan and the others in military uniforms, and then at the man in a new padded robe. Sodick.

After scrutinizing it for a while, the woman's eyes gradually widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, and she walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Sodick?"

"Who?"

Seeing the other party's answer, the woman felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and said tremblingly: "My God! So it's really you!"

Sodick got up and approached the woman, took a closer look with his left eye, shook his head, and asked with a sigh: "My eyes are dry, and I can only see a blurry shadow in my left eye. Who are you?"

"Sodick, I am Sharhan, the Sharhan of your elder brother Apizi! You are still alive!"

"Sarham"

"Do you still remember your brother Apizi? The Rewafu you carried on your back," the woman hurriedly walked around Sodick and glanced behind her, and said in a firm and affirmative tone: "Isn't this after you were released? Was it a gift from him?"

Sodick was stunned for a moment, and then showed an excited expression. He grabbed the woman's arm tightly with both hands, and said excitedly: "Bless God, is Brother Apiz still alive? How is little Mokhtar? He has grown up." Are you an adult?"

"You haven't forgotten, Sodick!" Sharhan wiped the tears shed from excitement, and said with a smile, "They are all safe. Mohetar is strong and strong, and he is already a young man as tall as the wall!"

The woman got excited, and her mouth was like setting off firecrackers, talking non-stop.Sodick managed to take advantage of her pause to take a breath, and called Yunyan and the others over, and introduced each other.

Sharhan was very wary of Yunyan and others at first, and her words were cautious, until Sodick told how she knew Yunyan and others, and how Bei Haijun treated his eyes, she was relieved. Then she warmly invited everyone to visit her home.

With the woman's loud voice, the news that Sodick was still alive spread throughout the village that night.Those who know him, those who don't know him, everyone who has heard of his name come to visit.And relying on Sodick's translation, Yunyan and the others quickly became one with the villagers.

In response to everyone's greetings and inquiries, Sodick plucked the strings, and in a deep voice, told about his experiences over the years.

"Sodick is a vagabond, and he can't tell the sadness in his heart. As soon as my mother opened my eyes when I was born, Taiji's cage shut me up. If you compare youth to a flower, the buds of my youth have not bloomed, and the good times are already gone. Fly away, and the days of slavery never end. Heartless Burke sucks my blood dry, cruel Burke, skin me for clothes! Day and night I work, clothes He was naked and couldn't eat a hot meal. He met his beloved Laili Guli, but was killed by Taiji on the bank of the river.

Alone, I went to wander, and my footprints filled thousands of villages and villages.It's pitch black everywhere, there's no place for the poor to live!Bayi Burke's heart is the same, forcing rent assessments and distribution of donations.The Kazi mullahs are also wolves in human clothing, holding the code of law in their hands and abusing their power.Baiboke's heart is really poisonous, drink our blood as tea.Young girls, innocent children, so many lives were destroyed.Thinking of these hardships and hardships, raging anger ignited in his chest.If you don't chop Taiji into meat sauce, the bloody feud is not over! "

Sodick's songs are endless.The more he played the Rewafu, the more sad and indignant he was, and he played and sang until late at night.Although it was cold outside, it didn't take long before Apizi's house, yard, and even the door were full of people.

Some people kept shaking their heads and sighing, some were holding their anger and unwillingness tightly in their powerless fists; however, some were breathing rapidly, trembling all over, and a cavity of blood was beating in the skin-to-bone chest cavity swing.

Until the end, Sodick sang: "Orioles who have not experienced the severe winter, how can they know the beauty of spring; if there is anyone who can help us escape from the sea of ​​suffering, only the army that crossed the Tengger Mountains. Hu Da is really strange , created angels and created devils. Listen to me, everyone, may my song be able to put on wings and spread along the Hami River to thousands of mountains and rivers."

What everyone present did not expect was that this folk song spread throughout the villages around Huicheng in just a few days. Countless Uyghur people were filled with righteous indignation after hearing it, and at the same time, they also expressed their curiosity and doubts. His gaze turned to Beihai.Everyone is thinking, can this army really take us out of the sea of ​​suffering?

Everything was ready for the pyre to light a raging flame, the only thing left was a cluster of flames.

"Kuruan" is "Quran".
