Chapter 1437 robbing a train
After reading the newspaper, Sima Yi mistakenly thought that Tsarist Russia would give up his support.
If he wants to deal with a giant like Gan Chao, without external support, he will not be able to win the independence of Yarkand.
Therefore, Sima Yi must make Tsarist Russia realize his value.
Alimu said in a deep voice: "Khan, we understand."
Sima Yi solemnly said: "Okay, then you go back now, collect information for me, contact people, and prepare to launch an attack."
Alimu nodded, then bowed and said he would leave.
Sima Yi asked someone to blindfold him again and took him out of the cave.
~~~~~~
Luntai County, palace.
Gao Huan stood in the study, and Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really clever to attract snakes out of the cave!"
Gao Huan let out a breath of turbid air, "Since the attack at the station that day, Sima Yi also knew that he had angered me, so the cat would not come out of the mountain nest. If he did not come out of this vast Tianshan Mountain, I could only think of attracting him out, otherwise I would not be able to wipe out at all."
Sun Chuanting nodded slightly. He had established an anti-Qing base on the Taihang Mountains and knew how difficult it would be to encircle and suppress Sima Yi. The mountains were desolate and rare. Sima Yi went to in which cave for several months, and the army could not capture it.
Gao Huan looked at Yuan Shizhong and asked, "Do you understand the situation of the enemy now?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I found the inner support, but it was a big deal to alert the snake, and it still needed verification." Yuan Shizhong said with a tribute.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Okay! Leave this matter to you. Be sure to catch Sima Yi before going to war. I will shoot him in public!"
"Yes!" Yuan Shizhong bowed and turned around and went out.

Alimu worked as a minor official in the Luntai County government office and assisted the government in communicating with the local people.
Because of the language barrier and the culture is very different, the government needs a group of Chinese-speaking people and some prestigious people in the local area to serve the government.
After the demise of Yarkand, Alim was recruited by the government soon after, but the life gap between Yarkand nobles and an ordinary minor official was too big.
At first he was afraid of Gan Chao and wanted to survive, but later he found that Gan Chao did not kill heavily in Anxi, but instead devoted himself to construction. His life was not threatened, so he had other ideas.
Especially those who were originally managed by him, after joining the economic system of Ganchao, their lives became better and better. They no longer respected him or listened to him to preach, and they felt resentful in their hearts.
"I must drive away the kids before I can return to my previous life!" This was Alimu's inner thoughts, and it was also the reason why he decided to follow Sima Yi to restore the country.
Because Alimu can usually complete it well, the tasks assigned by the county are a bridge for the government to communicate with the local people, so he is highly valued by the county and no one doubts that his thoughts are a problem.
On that day, Alimu returned to the county government and soon received news that in two days, a train from the pass was about to arrive at Luntai.
All the trains were loaded with military supplies and food, and there was no military transport on them. Alimu immediately realized that this was an opportunity.
After learning the news, Alimu was ecstatic and quickly reported to the county, pretending that two families had a conflict in the village outside the city and needed him to mediate, so he left the county town openly.
~~~~~~~~
In the cave, Alimu was removed from his blindfold. When he saw Sima Yi, he immediately reported: "Khan, I found that five days later, a train full of military funds and food will arrive at Luntai. If we can intercept this train halfway, we will definitely shake Anxi."
Sima Yi frowned and said, "Ratch the army?"
He suspected Alimu and wanted him to die. Just a few people, it was okay to engage in a sudden attack. Going to rob the military lineup, wouldn't it be very easy to find shit in the cesspool?
Alimu seemed to understand his concerns and immediately said, "Khan, there are no transport troops on this train, and the train has just come out, and no one has robbed the train. We were surprised. Since the last attack, the kids have been intensified in the city. We have no chance in the city. This train is our great opportunity!"
Sima Yi pondered for a while and quickly calculated in his heart, thinking that Alimu's words made sense, and the materials in the cave were consumed almost the same. If Tsarist Russia really cut off the aid, there would be a train of supplies that would allow him to hold on for a while, and even rely on this batch of supplies to drive away the people.
"Thank you for the True God!" Sima Yi immediately stood up and said to his subordinates: "This is the opportunity that the True God has created for us, we must seize it. You all go and gather people, and I will rob the train that kills people."
A few days later, sixty miles east of Luntai County, at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, on the beach.
Sima Yi brought about the assembly backbone, with about three or four hundred people, ambushing behind several sand dunes.
Several insurgents in the distance worked together to destroy the railway, quickly pulled the tracks apart, then ran back to the sand dunes and ambushed.
"How are you doing?" Sima Yi said to his subordinates who ran back.
Several people were gasping for breath, and the leader replied: "Don't worry, Khan, we have to open the rails, and when the train arrives, they will definitely derail."
The rebels had no choice but to know that the railway was destroyed, so the smoked train could not continue.
When Sima Yi heard the words, he stopped talking, but led the rebels to lie on the sand dunes, picked up the musket, prepared the grenades, and waited for the train to enter the trap they prepared.
A train drove over from a distance, and the "crack" sound caused the ground to tremble slightly.
Many of the rebels have observed this giant at such a close distance for the first time, and many of them are shocked.
At this time, the train was running rapidly on the railway, and everyone's hearts were raised, waiting for the giant to rush out of the tracks, and they rushed up to eliminate the people on the train and move the goods on the train.
Sima Yi held the musket tightly and stared at the train nervously. At this moment, the train that was originally speeding suddenly sounded a harsh whistle and slowed down its speed with a "crack" click.
Amid the harsh sound of brakes, the train that was originally speeding gradually slowed down and finally stopped about ten meters away from the tracks being scattered.
"What's going on?" Sima Yi came back to his senses from shock and frowned: "Where are they discovered?"
At this time, a few people jumped off the train, checked the tracks being stripped, and then stood around and looked around.
"Khan, what should I do now?" The subordinate couldn't help asking.
Sima Yi was shocked and confused. He found that only a few people got off the train and thought that Alimu's information should be correct. The train did not transport troops.
At this time, he was confused and considered whether to give up, but in the end the full car of supplies still moved him.
"Bang!" Sima Yi immediately jumped up, shot into the sky, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight me!"
The gunshots were signals. The ambushing rebels immediately shot randomly, threw grenades, and then picked up the guys and charged with Sima Yi.
The rebels charged in a passionate manner and rushed to the train in a blink of an eye, but did not encounter a counterattack along the way.
Just then, as they approached the train, the door of the car suddenly opened, revealing a continuous machine gun.
"Dadada..."
