    The Imperial Minister of Affairs in Cullen is located in the southwest corner of Cullen City, not far from the south gate of Cullen.  In order to ensure the safety of the minister stationed in Cullen, the 41st Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Imperial Northern Military Region Army stationed outside the city specially dispatched a company of troops to garrison the office just in case.  In addition, the 9th Cavalry Brigade and the 10th Cavalry Brigade under the Third Cavalry Army are scattered throughout Mongolia.  In times of emergency, the minister stationed in Kulun can take command.

    The current Minister of Affairs in Kulun is the famous Beiyang general Xu Shichang.  The former Beiyang Army controlled a town.  However, as the Manchus were overthrown, these generals also disbanded and returned to their fields.  Wang Yuze valued Xu Shichang's talents and deliberately retained him and appointed him as the Minister of Affairs in Kulun.  His mission is to safeguard the territorial integrity of the country.

    Before, due to transportation reasons, the vast Mongolian area was the defense area of ??the Northern Military Region.  However, the Northern Military Region does not have many troops in Mongolia. There are only two cavalry brigades of the Third Cavalry Army and an infantry regiment stationed in Kulun.  In this way, the pressure on supplies can be reduced.  However, with the completion of the railway from Beijing to Kulun, this situation has been improved.  Starting from next spring, troops from the Northern Military Region will gradually march into Mongolia.  On the one hand, it was to strengthen the empire's rule and reform in Mongolia, and on the other hand, it was to prepare for war.  Once the empire goes to war against the Japanese navy, Russia will inevitably declare war on China.  By then, the entire North Asia region will become a battlefield.  The mission of the Northern Military District is to push the front beyond the national border and block the Russian army advancing eastward from the hinterland of Europe.  The mission of the Northeast Military Region is to conquer the lost territory and bring the entire Far East of Siberia back under the rule of the empire.

    "Sir, something is wrong with the Mongols during this time! Many Mongolian princes rushed back to their fiefdoms despite the heavy snow and road closures. In addition, the great lama Chelin Chimit and others had relatively ordinary contacts with the Russians.  , Do they have any conspiracy?" asked a middle-aged man wrapped in thick cotton clothes and with a mustache.  He is Feng Guozhang, the deputy minister stationed in Kulun. He was also the former commander of the Beiyang Army. When Xu Shichang became the minister stationed in Kulun, he was also appointed as the deputy minister.

    "Brother Hua Fu, when no one else is around, I feel uncomfortable listening to other people's words! I think back then, we were all serving under Master Zhongtang. Unfortunately, now Master Zhongtang has gone home to live in the apartment, peacefully  It¡¯s old age!¡± Xu Shichang sighed.

    "Brother Bu Wu, the empire has replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This is an unstoppable thing. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we served the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but we had no choice but to do so. Now that the empire has been established, we continue to serve the empire. Isn't this better?  ? In my opinion! The Empire replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty and quickly became a powerful country, which saved us from being oppressed by foreign powers. This is a great good thing!" Feng Guozhang said.

    "Yes! We are still Han people after all. Moreover, isn't it what we want to see as the empire becomes more and more powerful? Have you found out what those Mongolians are doing?" Xu Shichang asked.  He also felt that the Mongols' recent behavior was a bit strange.

    "No! These Mongolians have done a very good job of keeping secrets this time. We have used many people, but we have not found out the specific reasons. Do you think these Mongolians want to rebel?" Feng Guozhang was a little skeptical.  said.

    "It's hard to say. Next spring, the imperial army will enter Mongolia, and these Mongolians will not be able to make any trouble. If they want to rebel, this period will undoubtedly be the last period. Call brothers more  Pay attention, and also keep in touch with the newly formed 41st Infantry Regiment to prepare for emergencies!" Xu Shichang said.

    "I will send a report to Commander Wang Shaoxuan later! There are only a few hundred thousand Mongols, and they have more than 10,000 instructors with little combat effectiveness? Or the private soldiers of the princes and nobles? How can they be the empire?  opponents. Even if the Imperial Army doesn't take action, a regiment outside the city can defeat them all. I went to the military camp two days ago to take a look, and the Imperial Army's equipment is really well-equipped.  ! None of them are equipped with a light machine gun. Compared with when they fought with us, their firepower has increased countless times. If we had such an army back then, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose!" Feng Guozhang sighed.  road.

    "Brother Huafu, it's best not to say such words in the future. If someone hears them, they will think you still have a Qing Dynasty in mind!" Xu Shichang warned.

    "Yes! But, looking at this movement, are we about to go to war with Lao Maozi? I heard that the army and navy are actively preparing for war. The enemies of the navy are naturally the Japanese and Americans, and maybe the British. Then the army  The enemy is probably the Japanese and Lao Maozi. The Japanese are easy to deal with. As long as the navy wins and blocks them, it will be useless no matter how many armies they have. However, Lao MaoziMao Zi is not easy to deal with.  Their standing army also has millions of soldiers!  Feng Guozhang said with some worry.

    "We are not in our positions now and do not seek to govern. Now that we are all civilian officials, we should leave these things to the soldiers! I believe they will do a good job!" Xu Shichang sighed.  He was born as a Jinshi, but later joined the army, became a member of the Beiyang New Army, and was promoted to the commander of a town. He was still full of yearning for a military career.

    "I really hope to continue leading troops to fight! Even if I am a company commander or platoon leader. Listening to the familiar sound of gunfire and smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke is very comfortable!" Feng Guozhang also remembered.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, there was a sound like fried beans outside the office, and there were shouts of killing.

    "These bastard Mongolians really want to rebel?" Feng Guozhang jumped up immediately.

    "You immediately send a report to Commander Wang, and I will organize the defense!" Xu Shichang immediately ordered.

    "Yes!" Feng Guozhang said nothing and immediately went to the telegraph room to send a report to the 41st Regiment outside the city.  He knew that the situation was urgent and there was no room for carelessness.

    The Imperial Office in Cullen is not big, with only two houses in front and behind.  It is surrounded by a wall up to two meters high.  On the wall, there is this barbed wire.  This kind of defense is also the strongest in the entire Cullen City.

    When Xu Shichang rushed to the front door, the 3rd Battalion and 4th Company of the 41st Regiment, which was responsible for guarding the office, were fighting fiercely with the Mongols.  On the snow beside them, two dead Imperial soldiers lay.  They were guards and were attacked by the Mongols at the beginning of the battle.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" At the gate, the imperial soldiers of the two squads were defending behind the fortifications composed of sandbags.  Two light machine guns kept firing at the disciples, knocking down the Mongolian soldiers who tried to break into the office.

    "Captain Li, I have sent someone to contact the military camp outside the city. Reinforcements will arrive soon. We must hold on until the reinforcements arrive!" Xu Shichang found the commander of the 4th company and ordered.

    "Don't worry, Sir, the 4th Company will definitely be able to withstand these Mongols!" Li Daniu, the commander of the 4th Company, replied.

    "Brothers, set up the heavy machine guns and mortars for me, let these Mongolians know how powerful we are!" Li Daniu ordered loudly.

    Soon, heavy machine guns and mortars were set up and fired fiercely at the attacking Mongolian soldiers.  The dense bullets easily killed these Mongolian soldiers.  The shells exploded one after another, making these Mongolian soldiers cry for their fathers and mothers.

    Xu Shichang looked through the telescope and saw that these Mongolian soldiers included instructors in monk robes, and some were private soldiers of Mongolian princes and nobles in leather clothes. Behind them, some Mongolian princes and nobles were commanding.

    "It seems that this is a rebellion deliberately carried out by the Mongols!" Xu Shichang said secretly.

    "Sir, I have already contacted Commander Wang outside the city. They will march into the city immediately to suppress the rebellion!" Feng Guozhang ran over and said.

    "Well! In addition, contact the cabinet immediately and report this matter to the authorities. I'm worried that there are Russians behind this!" Xu Shichang said.

    "Russians? These old fools are really looking for trouble all day long!" Feng Guozhang cursed secretly.  Through the telescope, he also saw far away from the office. Shishma Levli, the Russian consul in Kulun, was also among the Mongolian princes and nobles.

    "By the way, order the troops on the border to prepare for the Russian attack!" Xu Shichang said.

    "What? Do these Russians still dare to start a war with us?" Feng Guozhang didn't believe it.

    "No one can tell this clearly, so be prepared!" Xu Shichang said.

    "Okay, I'll issue the order right away!" Feng Guozhang said.

    Outside the office, Mongolian soldiers launched a fierce attack on the office.  However, their attack, faced with the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army stationed in the garrison office, had no other effect except leaving corpses on the ground.

    "Damn it, why are these Han people so fierce in firepower? They have charged several times but they still can't get in!" Tuxie Tuhan Naxun Chuoktu cursed angrily.

    "We have to speed up the progress. If we can't attack the garrison outside the city and only capture the Han minister, we will be in trouble!" Saiyin Noyan Khan Namu Nang Su Lun said anxiously.

    "Let our people launch another charge! No matter what, we have to attack it!" Tushetu Khan Naxun Chuoktu said fiercely.  At his request, the Mongolian trainers and private soldiers once again launched an attack on the office like driven animals with crude weapons.  However, they just rushed to the door, fierce gunfire?It rang.  The fire network composed of heavy machine guns and light machine guns easily harvested their lives and quickly drove them back.
