Chapter 312 The tragic battle to defend Taicheng in Tarbha for three full days, and thousands of military and civilians in Tacheng shed their last drop of blood for the honor of the motherland.

Petrovsky sent messengers to enter Ili.

In his handwritten letter to Zarafentai, he first advised Zarafentai "extremely sincerely": Never lose confidence in the future of the "Qing Dynasty" just because the "Beijing City of the Qing Dynasty" is lost. You should know that at present, in the "Northeast of the Qing Dynasty", countless "Qing patriots" are fighting side by side with the brave army of the selfless Tsarist Russia, and have repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the invading Taiping Heavenly Kingdom bandits.

Therefore, he hoped that as an important official of the "Qing Dynasty", Zarafentai could also take on the great task of restoring the Qing Dynasty in the Northwest at a critical moment, just like the "Qing Dynasty patriots" in the Northeast, and lead the military and civilians of the whole border to join hands with the selfless Tsarist Russia to turn Xinjiang into a vast ocean that burys the invading Taiping Heavenly Kingdom bandits.

Finally, Petrovsky had not forgotten to solemnly warn Zarafentai:

First, no matter what, for the restoration of the "Qing Dynasty", the selfless Tsarist Russian government has once again extended a pure hand of friendship to the "Subjects of the Qing Dynasty". The Tsar's heroic Omsk army has officially advanced into Xinjiang and resolutely shared the same hatred with the broad masses of Xinjiang.

Secondly, if the devastated man, Zarafentai, would rather be depressed and not be willing to do his best for the "restoration of the Qing Dynasty", then you should stay honestly in your Huiyuan City and don't talk nonsense or move around, especially not to crack down on or slander the vigorous "restoration enthusiasm" of the people in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, etc....

Although Zarafentai had a headache after receiving this letter from Petrovsky, this time it was not as headache as when the Tarbachtai-burned Tsarist Russian trade circle incident occurred. Because before that, Zarafentai had not only received the "Courtial Order" decided by the Regent Yi, but also received a "private message" from General Qingru, Ulya Sutai.

If Zarafentai still had some resistance and grief when he received the "Courtial Order" from Yipanger, and even dared to beat his chest and stamp his feet and shouted, "I would rather be a ghost of the Qing Dynasty than a slave to the destruction of the country." Then, after reading Qingru's private message to him, Zarafentai no longer had a big temper.

Qingru told Zarafentai that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime was by no means any regime they knew in the past, because it was a pioneering and new special regime. They not only represent the fundamental interests of all the people living at the bottom of society, but also fight for them bloody battles, but there is no concept of national discrimination.

At present, with the active mediation of Zaiyuan, Senggelinqin and others, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government’s policies to “ethnic autonomy” against Mongolia, as well as unity and co-resist foreign humiliation, etc., have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Mongolian people and have been accepted by the majority of the upper classes of the Mongolian tribes. Some of the main forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army have therefore quickly advanced northward with the friendly help of the Mongolian tribes.

Qingru also confirmed to Zarafentai that the Red Army of Taiping, which had fully advanced into the northeast, was under the command of the famous generals such as Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang, and with the support of most patriotic former Qing soldiers and people along the way, and the cooperation of the former Qing officials, the Tsarist Russian ghosts who once rode on the head of "My Qing" were defeated step by step. He had sufficient reason to believe that it would not take long for the brave and invincible Taiping Red Army soldiers who came out of the Mongolian or galloped in the northeast, not only could the Tsarist Russian ghosts completely return to their original form and rush back to their hometown, but also restore all Chinese territory that had been thrown away and sold in the hands of "My Qing"...

Qingru sincerely advised Zarafentai that at this decisive historical critical moment, he should return to the wrong path and use practical actions to wash away his past dirty things and strive for the leniency of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the people. He must not go in the wrong direction again, nor should he act as an ugly accomplice of the Tsarist Russian ghosts, so as not to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever and to be ashamed of his ancestors under the fountain.

Finally, Qingru also said that at present, he is not only actively maintaining the stability of his jurisdiction with all his colleagues in Ulya Sutai, waiting for the full acceptance of the personnel appointed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, but also began to prepare for war and crush the shameless provocations of the Tsarist Russian ghosts many times.

He also solemnly stated to Zarafentai that if the situation in Xinjiang needs his help, he will work with all the soldiers and civilians of Ulyasutai to give him Zarafentai full assistance...

In this way, in his Yili General's Office, Zarafentai held a significant ideological unification meeting. At the meeting, Zarafentai and his colleagues at all levels carefully listened and discussed and analyzed various voices and strategies for the current bad situation, and finally reached the following consensus:

Given that the wars in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains were full of fire, General Yili could no longer control more areas in Xinjiang, so officials and garrisons from all over the country must first do their best to effectively protect the security of their garrisons from violations;

For the turbulent riots in various places, local officials should remember not to further intensify the conflicts. They should try their best to adopt strategies of persuasion and comfort, and should not hide or protect those Burkes who are extremely guilty and have deep public resentment;

If the rioters attack the city, they can carry out necessary self-defense when persuasion and dredging are not favorable. If they are absolutely necessary, they can also turn to major places to retreat in a concentrated manner, but they will never be allowed to pursue and suppress the rioters under any name or excuse;

Finally, and the most critical point is that no matter whether it is the important frontiers in the northern and southern borders, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies such as Tsarist Russia and Kokand, there is no need for any request for orders, and we must resolutely fight back.

So, on July 3, 1857, Zarafentai officially replied to Petrovsky, "Although I, Zarafentai, is a man of mankind, has long been integrated into this land of China. Everything in China is the highest interest of me, Zarafentai."

On the night of July 10, Colonel Chernyev, who had occupied the Baktukado period in the southwest of Tarbakhatai, led more than 3,000 Second Brigade of the Tsarbahaya Army's Omsk Army to arm the demons to the teeth, launched a full-scale attack on Tarbakhatai City.

Tsarist Russia's shameless behavior inspired the common hatred of the Taiwanese army and the people of Tarbach. Mingxu, the counselor of Tarbach Taiwan, not only immediately led the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight back, but also quickly received the strong cooperation of the suburbs of Tarbachtai, which was originally a force for the people to rebel, and the Kazakh riot peasant army.

Although the Taiwanese military and civilians in Tarbach were not afraid of bloodshed and fought bravely, they also gave a certain blow to the invaders, but in the face of the powerful Tsarist Russian enemy like tigers and wolves, they could not get more powerful support, and they would ultimately be difficult to achieve greater results.

The fierce battle to defend Taicheng in Tarbach for three whole days, and thousands of military and civilians in Tacheng shed their last drop of blood for the honor of the motherland.

On the night of July 13, the Tsarist Russian devil finally broke through the gate of Tarbhatai City.

Mingxu refused his subordinates' request to protect him from breaking through, and committed suicide in the city in his own Tarbhatai Counselor's Office.
