C3395 The Great Escape of Yili

The main force of the Lake Barkish was out in full strength. In one night, they captured eighteen cities, including Ka Puqiagai. The thirty-six kulun senile stroke s were willing to die rather than lower themselves to burn the entire army's pasture.

This news quickly spread through the Ivu River Valley as if it had grown wings.

The Ivu River Valley had a total of 27 Ku Lun's, but they were currently filled with over 300 sick and old people, the rest had all lost their lives due to Yaqub's riot, and the Qing dynasty had yet to replenish any new troops.

It was impossible for them to do the same as Ka Puqiagai and left only the twenty-seven senile stroke s, half of the three hundred people would be placed in the Huiyuan City, the remaining veterans at the other stations could only be regarded as a symbol of national image.

It was impossible to take revenge with such strength, but Russian had also underestimated the determination of the Chinese. Ka Puqiagai's fire had completely ignited the anger of the older soldiers.

We are very old, we are very weak, we don't even have a single fireball in our hands!

But we won't betray our ancestors either. Hu Laosan and the rest can even sacrifice their lives for our country, what else is there to be reluctant about!

All the Kurun military stations that had received the news began to move. They wrapped the last of the taxes and tied them to the caravan and commissioned reliable herders and caravans to send them to the tower city.

The General Yili was located in the tower city. Although the road ahead was difficult and the mountain was the most important, no matter how difficult it was, these military assets could not be left for the Russian.

He had taken everything he could and burned everything he couldn't take!

These veterans burned the winter grass and grain, filled the well with water, and even hid the most precious household register before the arrival of the Sakyamuni.

Since ancient times, the household register had always been an important tool for ruling a region. It was even a symbol of legitimacy, and even its importance was greater than the official seal.

With an household register, you will have the ability to penetrate the basic-first line. Even after the war, you will still be able to distinguish between the ownership of the houses and the grass fields on this piece of land.

This was a very critical factor in maintaining order in society. It was also an important evidence of the trust of tens of thousands of people!

With the household register, the administrative power would be able to penetrate deeper into the people. This kind of treasure was slowly amassed over a period of decades by these local officials. It had already gained a very high reputation among the herdsmen.

There were many records that could be traced back to the time of the dryad. At this time, if a little dispute broke out among the herdsmen, they would usually find their own evidence from the household register.

Moreover, there were very few people in nomadic peoples who recorded their own family tree. They did not remember anything above the third generation, but there were still some records in the household register.

The two herdsmen's homes clashed. Perhaps with the register, they would suddenly realize that we used to be a family five generations ago!

This kind of literature truly reduces many contradictions and conflicts, and is indeed a powerful tool of administration!

Since it was a treasure, he wouldn't keep it for the Russian. He would bury it and wait for Wang Shi to come back to him in the future.

Those places of burial were sent to the Tower City along with the taxes!

The entire Ivu River Valley was in chaos, all the towns were surrounded by beacons of war, either the Russian was killing people or robbing local people were burning their property.

The fire around the Kulun military station became even more intense. The retreating senile stroke had basically destroyed everything, not even a single feather was left for Russian.

Everyone began to flee towards the east with their families. Everyone knew that the Ivu River Valley would not be able to guard against these robbers, so they could only head towards the north, risking their lives to reach the entrance of Mount Ala in the winter.

It was hard to describe this tragic escape, in the eyes of the Expedition, it was as tragic as hell!

Many old people and children fell on the ground and couldn't get back up. The temperature during the day was around -10 degrees Celsius, but during the night, the temperature dropped to -20 or 30 degrees Celsius.

The weak were frozen to death. At first, Expedition still had the heart to save them, but this time, they had lost two-thirds of their supplies. The remaining supplies were no longer enough for them to use.

They could only harden their hearts and ignore it, looking at the starving people who died from the cold, all of the Expedition s cried!

"This damnable Russian, how are you going to choose winter to fight? "You're not even giving anyone a chance to escape, you can't even escape …"

"Stop scolding, save some strength for your revenge in the future!" They want to take advantage of this time to attack, and capture a large number of people as their slaves! "

The escaping party only saw the densely populated city near the Huiyuan City. The Chinese garrison had already received the news, and they finally opened the city gates to save the people.

However, everyone knew that the Huiyuan City was merely the last supply point to cross the Ala Mountain Pass. Time was of the essence, and Huiyuan City would eventually fall due to it being surrounded by tens of thousands of heavy soldiers.

"Walk, walk …" Everyone, don't linger. Each adult has two nan, each child has one, and each salt has a small handful. "Let's go …"

"Fellow villagers, hurry up and flee to the north. Sooner or later, we won't be able to defend this place, so don't linger …" Take the food and leave quickly! "

"This is a life wager!" He could just leave the lucky ones alive here. The heavens were willing to accept him, accept him … Aiya! Foreign Ghosts... Some foreign devils have also come, as well as our own people! "

The older soldiers of the Huiyuan City immediately surrounded the Expedition, especially Guan Lu and Duo Luo. When they found out that this was a relative who came from the Central Plains and was even the Emperor's subordinate, all the older soldiers kneeled down to pay their respects.

Guan Lu and Duo Luo pulled one of them up and another two fell down.

"The His Majesty has finally thought of us, and the relatives of the Central Plains have also thought of us …" "Sob, sob, sob …"

"We can't stay here, we can't stay here... Carry out all our food, dried meat, dried milk, pancakes... Get the adults to hurry up and get on their way! "

"Carry a few more bundles of the old sheepskin in the warehouse! They can even save us when we cross the mountain!"

"Child, listen to me …" "When crossing a snowy mountain, you'd rather freeze to death than rest, don't go to sleep. If you can't take it anymore, you'll have to use a awl to prick your own flesh to clear your mind."

"This is the best mutton oil. You guys carry it with you. If you can't stand the cold, then take a bite …" "Don't be afraid of the taste, this is frozen after cooking oil. Eat a bit to guard against the cold …"

The veterans rubbed their families' clothes, looking at them as if they were their own children. "I really want to keep you all for a night, I'll treat you all to a drink …" I haven't seen anyone from the Central Plains for ten years … "

"No, you can't stay …" Russian will be here soon, hurry up and leave … "When I see your majesty and the people from the Central Plains, remember to tell them that everything is fine here …"

The Expedition was almost blasted away. Guan Lu and Duo Luo were very clear that their own paths of survival were exchanged with the lives of these Ku Lun veterans. It was them who used their lives to stall the enemy's speed.

Looking at the old veterans who were looking to the north from behind, the hearts of the people from the Manchu's Guard felt as if grass had grown on them, and tears kept flowing down their faces.

Guan Lu suddenly turned back and spurred his horse forward a few steps. He jumped off the horse and knelt in front of the old veterans.

"Uncles and uncles …" I kowtowed to you... "I kowtowed on behalf of all the people of the Central Plains …"

Duo Luo also rushed over with reddened eyes, kneeling on the big rock and kowtowing on the ice: "I kowtowed on behalf of the unskilled Manchu s in Beijing …"

"We don't know! I only know now that there is no place in this world where I can live a peaceful life … Isn't there someone who is going to carry the weight on our back? "

"We're messing around!" "I've spent the rest of my life as a bastard …"
