175 push

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the sun was pouring down, as hot as a fire.

Luojiashan Villa, Li wants to cool down under the grape rack.

Li Xiping and Zeng Gao ran over in sweat: "Li Shuai, the British support for the pro-British separatism in Tibet is rampant. In Tibet, they provoked national hatred and incited to "expel the Han people". On the Tibetan side, the Tibetan army marched east and cut off the traffic between Sichuan and Tibet. The Tibetan army successively captured Jiangka, Yanjing, Litang and other places, and surrounded Chamduo, Kangding and other places. There were only three counties on the south road and eight counties on the north road, which directly threatened the safety of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The Tibetan army came with fierce momentum. It's not good to come!"

"Sill down and say. Eat watermelon." Li wanted to shake the fan and said slowly, "As for the strength of the Tibetan army and the gas weapons and equipment obtained from the Governor-General of British India, do you also want to threaten the safety of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces? Don't be so panicked. I think the Lord of Tibet and his master, the Governor of British India, are 'Drunken Man's intention is not wine'!"

"The drunken man doesn't mean to drink?" Li Xiping was a little confused, "What is that?"

"Britain is another empire that is extremely concerned about Russia's expansion in the north and west of China!" Li wanted to turn his head and said with a smile, "There are two purposes. First, after Russia moved on the Outer Mongolia issue, they were not willing to be lonely. They began to play the trick of 'ditting up China' and find the opportunity to eat a piece of Chinese meat or a few pieces of meat; the other is to make the momentum bigger and cooperate with Russia to engage in "independence" in Outer Mongolia. Move, engage in the "independence" action of Tibet. You didn't find that the three countries of Britain, Russia and Japan already have an ambiguous tacit understanding, and I guess there is some secret agreement again.

Li wants to be wise and has a clear idea of the intentions of Britain, Russia and Japan. His analysis surprised Li Xiping and Zeng Gao.

Zeng Gao said tentatively, "Then the Tibet issue..."

"The Tibet issue is not difficult to solve, but it can't be too fast or too reckless." Li wanted to interrupt. This is mainly based on two considerations: first, the traffic is difficult, the army is inconvenient to move, and there are more troubles in supply; second, the ethnic problem is complex, especially in religiously controlled areas... should not be rushed.

Li Xiping said, "The advance company has been in Tibet for a long time."

"I haven't forgotten." Li thought, "The road from Qinghai to Tibet, we just look at the map, a plateau is flat and easy to walk, and Panchen Lama and a group of Tibetan lamas are in Qinghai. However, Lin Tiechang sent people to investigate and understand the situation of entering Tibet from Qinghai and Xinjiang. As a result, it was very difficult to enter Tibet from Qinghai and Xinjiang. Along the way, there were steep snowy mountains of five or six kilometers, which was difficult to overcome. If the Tibetan army takes Qinghai Road, it will only take two years to complete the preparation for entering Tibet.

With two years of preparation time, Li thought it would be much faster to beat Sichuan and enter Tibet.

"What, let's stare at it this time?" Li Xiping said.

You can't fight it out, not to mention how aggrieved it is.

"If you feel aggrieved, just roar." Zeng Gaodao.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to roar." Li thought.

Xinhua News Agency published an editorial the next day (foreign aggressors will never be allowed to annex China's territory - Tibet), pointing out:

"Tibet is the territory of China and will never allow any foreign aggression; the Tibetan people are an inseparable part of the Chinese people and will never allow any foreign division. This is the unswerving policy of the Chinese people and the Chinese National Revolutionary Army.

Chengdu.

Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan, and his adjutant Zhu Linlin each rode a tall horse on a rural road outside the city.

Yin Changheng made up his mind to march into Tibet. He said, "First armed and then peace. The soldiers only brought food rations for six days. We must recover the estuary and Litang in the south within a week, break down the estuary, Litang, and relieve the siege of Chamutuo and Batang in the north.

It's so hot that I'm still sweating on the horse. Zhu Linlin wiped a sweat: "Yes. It is completely correct for the governor to decide to attack Tibet, but if he crosses the Jinsha River in the west and enters the Tibetan area, how many people's rations can't be solved at all. Our logistics commander is so worried!"

"No matter what the difficulties are, the collection plan cannot be changed." Yin Changheng cut off the railway.

"Yes!" Zhu Linlin wiped his sweat again.

Yin Changheng said with deep emotion: "Zilian Yu said that he was ill and escaped to the Burai Temple to recuperate. The Tibetan government was presided over by Zhong Ying. President Yuan has officially appointed Zhong Ying as the governor in Tibet, and the situation in Lhasa has been determined. However, soon, the army that conquered Bomi made trouble on the way to retreat, clashed with the Tibetan army, and affected Jiangzi, Shigaze and other places. The Han-Tibet conflict in Lhasa was also intensified by the looting of monasteries by the garrison, and the two sides fought for this. To a certain extent, the conflict between Han and Tibet is the result of the continuation of the Qing Dynasty's oppressive policy. However, this is an internal problem in China and should be solved by the Chinese themselves. However, Britain felt that it had the opportunity to intervene in an attempt to realize its conspiracy to split Tibet from China. Under the instigation and instigation of Britain, the so-called "independence" of Tibet has been set off on a larger scale.

As the two talked, the topic turned to the British.

Zhu Linlin said, "Since the outbreak of the revolution, Minto, the governor of Britain and India, who has just left office, rushed to Darjeeling to talk with Danai. Later, the officials of the Da Ni sent faction sneaked back to Tibet to incite. Da Sang Zhandong, a pro-British servant of Da Ni, was responsible for organizing a specific military rebellion. He organized a Tibetan army of more than 10,000 people and served as the commander-in-chief. In March this year, he began to attack Jiangzi. After the "arrangement" of Macdonald, the British commerce commissar in East Asia, the local Qing army was forced to hand over weapons and ammunition and take India back to the mainland. Then, the garrison in Shigatse suffered the same fate. From April, Dasang Zhandong mobilized all kinds of rebels to surround and attack Lhasa, and fought fiercely with the defenders. Because of "out of military pay" and "lack of crossbows", the British solidarity with Tibetans and "repeal ban on the sale of food" had no choice but to accept the "adjustment" of the British officials in Tibet, and reached four points and conditions with the Tibetan army, handed over the guns, returned to the mainland through India, and compensated for the losses of the mutiny, and only the ministers stationed in Tibet. Lhasa. The troops stationed in Tibet set out to return to the mainland one after another. Zhong Ying and her guard were forced to leave Lhasa and move to Jingxi.

Yin Changheng said hatefully, "Danny, who has been in exile in India for more than two years, set out from Kalunburg and returned to Tibet under the escort of the British army. At the farewell ceremony before the trip, British officials openly said that Britain's wish was "to see Tibet's internal autonomy under the condition that China maintains its suzerainty over Tibet without interfering, and they expect the milk lama to do everything he can to achieve his goal." With the support and guarantee of the British, the pro-British separatist forces in Tibet are even more rampant.

......

Beijing.

Iron Lion Hutong, the Presidential Palace.

"There was a lot of war in Lhasa and other places. The Xikang border army was attacked, and Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces demanded to send troops to calm down the chaos." Yuan Ke directed his father, Yuan Shikai, reported the military situation and suggested, "It's better to simply order Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan, to lead the division to the west. This matter must not be done by the madman Li first.

Yuan Shikai thought for a moment and issued the west expedition.

......

East Suburbs People's Lane, British Consulate.

British Consul Zhu Erdian is in a bad mood today, with a gloomy face and blue veins on his forehead. As soon as Yuan Shikai's western expedition order was issued, he received it. Why didn't Yuan Shikai beat Lao Maozi? If we do something small in Tibet, he will shout and kill him? Is the friendship they have cultivated from North Korea false?

The British London authorities were afraid that this army would enter Tibet and join the Lhasa garrison, which would be unfavorable for the British invasion of Tibet and put a lot of pressure on him.

Zhu Andian thought about it. At this stage, what it needs to do is to directly stop the Chinese army's western expedition, and on the same time, it is eager to expel the Lhasa garrison from Tibet, with a two-pronged approach and focus on the latter aspect. It believes that as long as it can induce the Lhasa garrison to withdraw from Tibet and prevent the Western Expeditionary Army from entering Tibet, it will be much easier to insist that China only has "sovereignty" in Tibet in diplomatic negotiations in the future.

Zhu Andian entered the presidential palace in a fiery. He is the great help of Yuan Shikai's accession to the throne of the president. Of course, Yuan Shikai treats him with good wine and meat.

The sumptuous reception dinner held by Yuan Shikai for Zhu Erdian cleaned up Zhu Erdian's anger. Yuan Shikai's eyes turned red, and Zhu Andian also blushed. He pushed the cup to match the brothers in the cup, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. But Zhu Andian is not a political rookie who was stunned by Yuan Shikai with a few glasses of wine.

Zhu Andian said with the spirit of alcohol, "Old friend, as your friend, I must remind you to pay attention to China's urgent borrowing problem! If the Sichuan army goes beyond a certain range, the British government will not provide any further assistance to China - and also to you!"

Yuan Shikai's face turned white when he drank and his face turned red.

Zhu Andian doesn't care, but he still has to oppress this guy who has forgotten the identity of the spokesperson of his empire after being the president for a few days. He further claimed: "The Tibet issue always boils down to the future and Shangyi. If you use force or make friends at present, there will be great obstacles."

Finally, Zhu Erdian patted Yuan Shikai's pale face on the shoulder, and his tone was not seductive, and it was all threatening: "Old friend, you must remember that China must not send troops into Tibet, nor change Tibet into a province, otherwise all the responsibility is only China."

Zhu Erdian, the minister in China, urged Yuan Shikai to agree to withdraw the troops stationed in Tibet and be assisted by the United Kingdom. Julden appointed Lieutenant Colonel Veropi, the military officer of the embassy, as the liaison officer between the Chinese army and the Indian authorities.

Wiropi set up an agency to repatriates Chinese soldiers on the Xizang border.

In order to support the separatist activities of the Dak Group, Indian Governor Harding suggested to the British government that the blockade of the China-India border is the most effective way to force the Chinese Tibetan garrison to withdraw as soon as possible.

At that time, the traffic between Tibet and Sichuan and Yunnan was cut off, and the exchanges of Chinese officials stationed in Tibet and the troop pay had to pass through India. The blockade of the China-India border can not only make the cultural and military officials stationed in Tibet lose contact with the central government, cut off the supply, and suffer a physical and spiritual blow, but also greatly reduce the prestige of the central government among the Tibetan people. Harding also advocated that Britain's recognition of the Republic of China should depend on China's solution to the Tibet issue. These opinions have been adopted by the British government.
