1890 King of Southeast Asia

On June 25, after signing a series of unequal treaties, Muhammad left with the loan in satisfaction.

The unequal parts include but are not limited to the fact that 70% of the loan can only be used to purchase Nanhua products, the loan needs to be used under Nanhua's supervision, and Nanhua will be given priority in future loans, etc.

In addition, the collateral is the income of the Turkish Straits and the customs of the entire Ottoman Empire. Nanhua has the right to send accountants to check the accounts and make suggestions for unreasonable places.

The Ottoman Empire was originally unwilling to agree to the latter until Nanhua raised the amount to 150 million, that is, 30 million pounds.

A loan of 30 million pounds can bring 9 million pounds back to the Ottoman Empire. The Turks believe that they can definitely win this war.

As for not being able to pay it back? After winning, the debt will be transferred to the defeated in the form of war reparations, and the loan can be paid back directly, which is equivalent to spending nothing, perfect.

All they paid was the right to "suggest" for three years, which is acceptable, completely acceptable.

They didn't pay any attention to the last clause of the treaty at all-when encountering force majeure and failing to repay the loan in time, the interest should be calculated as usual.

Three years later, it was already 1915.

"Bah! This damn weather." Hou Dehui walked into the tent, untied his scarf, and spit out a mouthful of yellow sand.

"My Lord, I just came to the grassland and I am not used to it. The wind is strong on the grassland. There is not enough rain this year. It is not bad now. When autumn comes, there will be a sky full of yellow sand flying, which is very spectacular." King Abu Gaida served tea attentively.

"Your Majesty, don't be so restrained. You don't have to worry. I believe that the people above will consider it carefully and will not cut it off." Hou Dehui took the tea and took a sip.

King Abu Gaida was a member of the Mongolian princes and nobles. He was a prince and noble in the northern part of the grassland and had just fled to the southern part of the grassland.

Hearing that the revolutionary army had reached Ulanqab, he rushed from Guisui to Ulanqab League overnight to complain to the revolutionary army!

Yes, that's right, he came to complain, to the revolutionary army.

Not only him, but also a large number of Mongolian princes and nobles who were willing to submit to the country but not to work alone.

Just a few days ago, the eighth living Buddha Jebtsundamba, who was supported by the Russian Empire, Bokdoggegen, raised the banner of the Mongolian Khan in Kulun and announced that he would go it alone.

(Bokdoggegen is a name.)

This news has not yet spread completely, because the "Mongolian Khan" is doing his traditional craft - unifying the interior.

However, his actions are obviously a bit slow, and most of the Mongolian princes under his command are either internal followers or fence-sitters.

After Bokdoggegen raised the banner of the Mongolian Khan, he immediately began military mobilization and issued conscription orders to various tribes.

As a result, the Khorchin and other tribes in the east chose to "follow" the newly arrived little emperor, and drove away the Russian army that "escorted" the little emperor at night.

The Mongolian tribes in the south and west actively contacted the revolutionary army, and raised the banner of the revolutionary army before contacting.

The north is not a monolithic block either. King Abu Gheda is an example. He could not stop Bokdoggegen's army, so he simply took his family and ran away with gold and silver treasures.

As a result, the third regiment's goal changed again and again. Guisui was no longer needed. Their destination was Kulun City.

These Mongolian princes and nobles were jumping up and down before seeing the revolutionary army, but they became restrained after seeing the real master.

In the final analysis, the surrender was their unilateral behavior so far, and the revolutionary army has not yet said how to deal with them.

"Yes, yes, yes." King Abu Gaida smiled.

Hou Dehui had a brief conversation with King Abu Gaida, and the core of the problem was the treatment of Mongolian princes and nobles.

The attitude of the revolutionary army was very ambiguous, but it was not to leave no way out.

"Prince, no matter what the decision is, whether your title is retained or not, your privileges will be abolished or restricted." Hou Dehui took off his cotton coat.

He thought that something that would be used for at least a few months would be put on now.

The clouds had covered the sky, the temperature was not high, and the strong wind easily took away the heat of the human body, and the thin clothes could not withstand it at all.

"These little princes all understand that we are not the kind of people who don't know what's good for us, but... your attitude towards the capital makes us a little scared, and many people hesitate because of this." King Abu Gaida said with a wry smile.

(Prince Abu Gaida, I omitted the word "Prince")

"The capital is the capital, and the grassland is the grassland. They can't be generalized. The news I heard is that as long as they are not guilty of many evil deeds and actively approaching, they will not be pursued."

"We will not let go of those who are stubborn and even want to split the land and claim the throne. Prince, you are obviously the former." Hou Dehui finally sat down.

They were on the north side of Ulanqab League at this time. It was originally a horse farm and a small trading market. At this time, it was requisitioned as a military base and transit base.

The first time they came to the grassland, many soldiers felt unwell, and there were countless cases of stomach upset and fever. Hou Dehui had no choice but to postpone the action.

"My lord, is there anything to discuss about the prince's matter?" King Abu Gaida asked nervously.

"I'm just a small regiment commander, how can I know these things? These should be considered by the revolutionary military government or the revolutionary military staff." Hou Dehui shook his head.

"Regiment commander, I found a group of about 600 cavalrymen approaching us." Li Yan suddenly opened the tent and walked in.

"In this weather, could they be passing by?" Hou Dehui thought about it. The wind outside was very strong and mixed with sand. Although there was no sandstorm, the visibility was also very average.

Under this situation, no one should send troops to attack.

"I heard their gunshots. Judging from the gunshots, they are equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles and a small cannon. Those who can be equipped with Russian weapons on the grassland should not be our friends." Li Yan said.

This cavalry team did not move fast, at least not fast compared to motorcycles, and the reconnaissance company had plenty of time to conduct reconnaissance.

The bad weather also gave them cover. They could only see the other side when they were close to a distance of several hundred meters.

"Prepare for battle, mainly defense, the reconnaissance company pays close attention to their direction of travel, and if they can't find the way, lead them over." Hou Dehui originally wanted to take the initiative to attack, but after thinking about the weather outside, he decided to forget it.

"Yes!"

...

Half an hour has passed, Hou Dehui is busy arranging the battlefield, the third regiment has been ready, and the soldiers are quietly waiting in the fortifications.

"Here they come..." Hou Dehui heard the sound of the horses advancing, and in the northwest direction, looking around, he could only see a gray-yellow misty area.

Boom………

Tong~~

The unique sound of the Mosin-Nagant gun could be heard gradually, proving that the two sides were not far away.

"Very good, no need to distinguish between the enemy and us." Hou Dehui looked at King Abu Ghaida beside him and said softly.

"Yes, except for those scums who have forgotten the glory of their ancestors and attached themselves to the Russians, no one else would shoot like this." King Abu Ghaida echoed.

Suddenly, a few lights appeared in the distance. They were the lights of motorcycles. The scouts used this method to remind their teammates of the distance.

The cavalry ran fast and soon saw the shadow of the large group. The motorcycle had already driven to the side, but the cavalry did not turn around and rushed towards the position of the third regiment.

"Free fire, block shooting!" Hou Dehui shook his head.

Only a few hundred people, or cavalry charging head-on, could not break through their defense line at all.

Bang, bang, bang...

Boom, bang, bang...

There was only a large black shadow in front, and the third regiment could shoot without aiming. The gunshots rang out, and tracer bullets of various colors flew towards the black shadow.

The distance was not close, and the cavalry became confused after the gunshots, and further dispersed, avoiding the crossfire of the machine guns.

"Come again?" Hou Dehui said in surprise as he looked at the cavalry approaching again after reorganizing the formation.

"The clouds are getting lower, and strong winds and heavy rains are coming. They need to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. There is only one city in the Ulanqab League within a radius of 20 miles." King Abu Gaida smacked his lips aside.

"Didn't they bring tents with them?" Hou Dehui asked in surprise.

"These people ran so fast that they didn't see the horse-drawn carts. Either they didn't bring any preparations and lived directly in the city, or they ran too fast and lost touch with the horse-drawn cart team."

"In short, if they don't attack, they can only wait for the wind and rain. In this kind of weather, it is common for half of the people to fall ill after a rain. They might as well take a gamble." King Abu Gaida explained beside him.

Getting wet on the grassland is different from getting wet in other places. In other places, getting wet in the rain may be fine, but on the grassland, there is no shelter and the wind and rain come together.

The rain alone may not feel too cold, but if it is combined with wind, the human body will lose temperature very quickly. Even people with good health can't stand it. Those who are slightly worse will have a fever.

Doctors and medicines are very scarce on the grassland. The Mongolian princes are okay, but ordinary people can only fight with their lives.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, this team of cavalry still launched an attack, and still launched a silent charge very firmly - there was only one lama in their team who served as a doctor.

Dong, dong, dong...

This time their luck was not so good. Under the crossfire, the silent charge turned into a suicide mission. The team of more than 600 people had more than 300 casualties, and the rest were all captured.

With King Abu Gaida there, Hou Dehui quickly learned the origin of this group of people.

"This is Jebtsundamba's army, the advance team, followed by a main force of 3,000 people, all cavalry, with more than a dozen cannons." King Abu Gaida said.

"What's the target? Such a big move, it can't be for the Ulanqab League, right?" Hou Dehui took a leather drum and patted it. It was captured from the lama.

"The target of this cavalry team is Zhangjiakou, and the other team I think should be Guisui. There is no point in sending so many people to Zhangjiakou." King Abu Gaida said.

"Do you like this Ajie drum?" King Abu Gaida noticed the leather drum in his hand.

"Ajie drum? Why is it called this name? Did Ajie give it to me?" Hou Dehui patted the drum, making a strange sound.

"This... you should put it down first." King Abu Ghaida said with a strange look on his face...
