Yang Jing remembers that when she was in junior middle school, she once had a geography exam, and a comprehensive question was like this.
"Excuse me, how many inland provinces are there in China? Which province is the farthest from the sea? Then, can you take a boat to sea from this province? No, please explain the reasons. Yes, please briefly describe the boat route."
Yang Jing clearly remembered that he had answered the first few questions of the comprehensive question correctly, but the last question confused Yang Jing.
At that time, there were 34 provincial administrative regions in China, including 23 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities directly under the central government and two special administrative regions.
Among the 34 provincial administrative regions, except Guangxi, Guangdong, Qiongdao, Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, min, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Jinmen and Liaoning, other provincial administrative regions belong to inland provinces.
But among these inland provinces, Xinjiang is the farthest away from the sea. Xinjiang is not only the largest provincial administrative region in China, but also the inland province furthest from the ocean. If all the provinces in China are stacked up, no one can be farther away from the sea than Xinjiang.
So can you go to sea by boat in Xinjiang?
This question confused Yang Jin at that time.
You have to say that other inland provinces, including Tibetan areas with the highest altitude, can reach the sea directly by boat. Jinsha River, Lancang River, Nujiang River and Yajiang River can reach the sea directly by boat.
Other inland provinces, including the Pearl River, Yangtze River, Yellow River and Heilongjiang river systems, can also go to sea by boat.
But only Xinjiang, how can this province go to sea by boat?
It seems that those rivers in Xinjiang are seasonal inland rivers, right? How can an inland river have an outlet to the sea?
Therefore, Yang Jing happily answered "no!"
As a result, the problem was naturally judged as wrong by the teacher.
There are not a few students who stumble on this question. Only a few people in the class answered this question correctly.
No one else, because most of the students, including Yang Jing, remembered that there were such inland rivers as Ili River and Tarim River in Xinjiang, coupled with the unique landform of Xinjiang Province, they all forgot that there was actually a river in Xinjiang that could directly connect to the sea.
Moreover, the sea that the river leads to is not the Indian Ocean in the South or the Pacific Ocean in the East, but the Arctic Ocean in the northernmost.
This river is the Ertix River!
The irtsis River, which originates from Altay Mountain on the border between China and Mongolia, flows through the four countries of China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Russia, joins the Obi River in hantmansik City, Qiuming Prefecture, Russia, and finally flows into the KRA sea of the Arctic Ocean. It is the only international river in China flowing into the Arctic Ocean system.
Therefore, starting from Xinjiang, taking a boat all the way north along the Ertix River, you can finally reach the Arctic Ocean.
Someone might say, isn't this bullshit? The river originates in Xinjiang, so you can go to sea by boat? The kipchapu River, one of the sources of the Indus River, also originates from the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang, but there are not many fish in that river, let alone boats?
Origin and being able to sail are two different things, okay?
That's true. The headwaters of rivers are usually not navigable, such as the headwaters of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but the Ertis river is indeed navigable in Xinjiang.
Although the Ertix River originates from Altai mountain, the source area is indeed navigable, but after hundreds of kilometers in Northern Xinjiang, it can be navigable before it flows out of the border.
Because when the Ertis river flows down for hundreds of kilometers from the source, after the small city of burjin joins another tributary of burjin River, the river section down burjin is much wider in an instant. The widest part of the river can even exceed 300 meters, and the average width exceeds more than 100 meters. Therefore, it is completely navigable from burjin.
As early as the 27th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1901, the Qing government set up a wharf in burjin, Erqis River in Xinjiang for regular navigation with Russia. The route starts from the port of burjin on the irtsis River, passes through the main stream of the irtsis River, Zhaisang lake and West Siberian plain, and finally can even reach the Arctic Ocean.
The reach down from Burqin can even navigable 300 ton ships!
Down from Burqin, the irtsis river will reach Omsk after passing through Zhaisang lake, erskemen, semiyi and baplodar!
If gorchak secretly transferred the 1100 tons of gold to another place to hide, the most likely means of transportation is ships!
It is no problem to take a boat from Omsk, whether walking north along the river or upstream.
Although it is said that if you want to travel 300 ton ships upstream from Omsk, you must wait until the wet season in July every year, gorchak regarded Omsk as the seat of the white military government as early as June 1918 and did not abandon this place until November 1919.
In this year and a half, the Ertis river has enough two wet periods to allow gorchak to make any decision.
In this year and a half, wherever gorchak transported the gold, it was possible. But the only thing we can be sure of is that whether it goes down the river or upstream, this batch of gold is bound to be hidden not far from the irtsis river. Otherwise, so much gold cannot be moved too far away from the river.
But which direction should gorchak choose? Is it the North downstream or the South upstream?
According to the data collected by NYAM, Yang Jing can also know that after gorchak occupied Omsk, he made a large number of defense facilities relying on the Ertix River in the west of the city. He not only built a large number of military fortresses and arranged heavy artillery bases on the East Bank of the river, but also arranged a lot of inland gunboats on the Ertix River, Patrol the upper and lower reaches of the Ertix River to prevent the Red Army from breaking through the Ertix River defense line from the upper and lower reaches.
In other words, when gorchak occupied Omsk, gorchak held a large number of inland river gunboats. Most of these gunboats are ships with a displacement of about 300 to 600 tons, but they can be changed into transport ships with a little modification. Gorchak is likely to use these modified gunboats to transport the gold.
However, according to Yang Jing's careful analysis and combined with the situation at that time, gorchak is likely not to travel downstream, but to travel upstream.
The main reason why such a conclusion is reached is because of the trend of the Ertix River and the situation at that time.
First, after crossing Omsk, the irtsis river flows eastward, then turns a corner and goes straight to the northwest. Finally, it meets the toborsk River less than 200 kilometers away from Qiuming. In short, if gorchak wants to transport this batch of gold downstream, he must pass through toborsk, and it is only seven or eight hours along the toborsk River from Qiuming to toborsk!
At that time, the leading force commander of the Bolshevik party against gorchak in Chelyabinsk was marshal buluher, one of the first famous five marshals of the Soviet Union.
Buluher served as political commissar of the Red Guard in Chelyabinsk at that time.
This was the situation at that time. The red army occupied Chelyabinsk, facing the White army of gorchak in the East. Buluher led the Red Guard to liberate Orenburg in early 1918, which has formed a great oppression on gorchak.
But in May of that year, the Czech Legion rebelled, leading to the erosion of the situation in Chelyabinsk. At that time, some people even proposed to dissolve the Red Army stationed in Chelyabinsk, and everyone fled for their lives. At this time, gorchak also led the army to attack Chelyabinsk, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
However, under the leadership of buluher, the Red Guard soon quelled the rebellion of the Czech Army. At the same time, in order to meet the main force of the Red Army, buluher sent the Red Guard to the autumn and Ming Dynasties to harass the White army from the rear of the White army, and finally insisted on meeting the main force of the Red Army, and beat the White army of gorchak back to Omsk.
In other words, before the flood season of irtsis River in 1918, the situation was actually very favorable to gorchak.
At that time, gorchak had 1.2 million white troops and a large amount of gold and jewelry smuggled from Petrograd. Although Nicholas II was executed in July, according to the situation at that time, the White army was fully capable of occupying the vast area east of Ural.
So at that time, gorchak should not make the decision to flee in the dominant situation.
In other words, from June 1918 to September 1919, gorchak held the strategic thought of sticking to Omsk and looking for opportunities to counter attack western Russia.
If it were Yang Jing, he would think so. No one will think about how to escape when they have an advantage, let alone gorchak, who is loyal to the czar.
I have money, people and guns. The situation is still good for me. Why should I run east? Even if I run, I have to run west to attack!
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for gorchak to transport the gold in his hand.
However, with the Red Army occupying strategic places such as Chelyabinsk and Qiuming, the situation of gorchak changed from favorable to unfavorable in an instant after the large-scale attack on Omsk began in September 1919.
So in this case, gorchak began to think about how to escape and how to find a place to hide the gold that could not be taken away.
However, in this situation, the Red Army has appeared in toborsk in the lower reaches of the Ertis River, and gorchak cannot transport gold downstream by ship under such circumstances.
Therefore, if you want to transport the gold away, you can only transport it upstream along the Ertix River.
Moreover, in September, the Ertix River can be used for ships of more than 300 tons. The transport ships refitted from these gunboats are fully capable of transporting these gold to a place in the upper reaches of the Ertix River to hide!
And transporting this batch of gold upstream will surprise most people. At the same time, in the upper reaches of the Ertix River, surrounded by mountains, it is the best place to hide gold.
No wonder several of the materials collected by NYAM mentioned that in September 1919, someone saw the White army inland river gunboat upstream from Omsk along the river in baplodar
It is also vaguely mentioned in the data that gorchak may transport a batch of valuable properties to the mountains along the China Russia border before withdrawing from Omsk
