"Your Majesty, General Huang has sent good news, the army is bloodless, and has entered Luo. The 8th Tatsuse personally went out of the city thirty miles and led the crowd to greet him. ”

In April of the eighteenth year of Chengtian, Chen Ming received the sixth report from the Fifth Division of the Reorganization that had entered Tibet. The army entered Tibet, and the road was peaceful. The nobles and monks in Tibet, no matter how unhappy they were, all surrendered in front of the 20,000-strong Fifth Division.

No one would joke with their own lives.

The 25,000-strong Fifth Division was not 250, and this was an irresistible force for a Tibetan land with a population of less than one million. As I said before, a reorganized Fifth Division should not be said to occupy the entire Tibetan land, but it would be enough to kill all the people here.

You must know that the Tibetan soldiers at this time still held long spears and short bows, and even the arquebuses that were two eras behind were rare here, and the only few cannons were left by the garrisons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

With such a little strength, he has to come to Nanjing to fight hard, and the fate of the Jinchuan nobles back then, the high-level people in Tibet know it one by one.

No one wants to see the Buddha they worship, and even the most fearless of death is not willing to throw away their lives rashly. Therefore, along the way into Tibet, the army did not encounter any obstacles at all, except for hunting and martial arts exercises.

Huang Zicong knew very well that the fundamental reason why the army entered Tibet this time was that he did not deliberately provoke and bully the other party, so the army entered Tibet smoothly. Even if countless gossips reached his ears on the way, when the army arrived outside the city, the 8th Tatsuse and the high-ranking figures of the Ichigan Tantric Sect were all respectfully greeted from thirty miles away.

As a result, Tibet was controlled by Nanjing.

After Huang Zicong led his troops into Tibet, he sent a report to Chen Ming every other month, and it was the sixth letter so far. It has been more than six months since the reorganization of the Fifth Division and the entire army entered Tibet.

Now that the army has stopped all the way, it has finally arrived at the Logo, and has firmly controlled the influential Eighth Tatsuse in his hands. Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was also a little unwilling.

This eighth generation Tatsuse, who is in the prime of life, is too timid. Compared to his own juniors, it is a 'wreck'.

Even if he didn't call on the nobles of all Tibet to take action and resist the army's entry into Tibet, he should have slipped away early.

Go to Kathmandu, the capital of Gurkha, to Sikkim, Bhutan, Ladakh, and even flee to British territory, that's it.

Chen Ming had the opportunity to attack the southern foothills of the Himalayas.

According to the original history, early on, the Gurkha Kingdom should have stretched out the 'evil' ghost claws to Tibet, Chen Ming's original plan was to let the traditional forces in Tibet be swept away by the Gurkhas, and then the National Defense Army came to Tibet in a 'savior' attitude, so naturally it could be completely turned into an inseparable part of the Chinese sacred.

However, the Gurkha people did not invade Houzang repeatedly as they did in the history of the original time and space, and did not chase the young Seventh Bancia into the desert and flee, and more than 3,000 monks of Tashilhunpo Monastery fled in all directions. So much so that when the Kabu Party Mamusa Ye attacked Tashilhunpo Monastery, there were only nine people left in the big monastery where the Ban Chan was stationed. Mamusa Ye immediately stayed in the Panchen Erdeni meditation room, and the big and small leaders took all the gold and silver Buddha statues, offerings, storage and pearls, coral gems and other objects inlaid in the pagoda. The golden book of the canonization of the 6th Panchen Lama was also plundered.

Chen Ming thought that the Gurkha people would be nervous again, as they had in history, so that he would have an excuse to officially intervene in the Gurkhas.

Although the Gurkha people are very famous in later generations, Chen Ming feels that it is the same thing.

In the battle of the Qing Dynasty, the Kuo army tried to attack the city of Shigatse Zongcheng, and Xu Nanpeng, the commander of the Qing army, led 80 people to defend it, killing more than 10 people and 1 leader. After eight days and nights of siege, the Gurkhas, unable to break the city, retreated to the border with their plundered treasures.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Gurkha is average.

Moreover, Fukangan was able to enter the territory of Gurkha with 6,000 people and approach Kathmandu, although he was defeated in the end because of his arrogant soldiers, but it also made Chen Ming even more disdainful of Gurkha's combat effectiveness.

The famous iron and blood of later generations, all posts with British troops have a characteristic, that is, they will mention the Gurkha troops. At the mention of the Gurkhas, countless IDs lit up their eyes and offered their treasured Nepalese sabers, talking about how brave the Gurkha were, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

This kind of 'chicken jelly' and 'iron powder' is really incomprehensible.

Chen Ming also had respect for the Gurkha people in the earliest days, but when he really thought about it, he felt that it was false. If the Gurkha people are really strong, their own country has long been the king and hegemon, and next to them is the big broiler Ah Sange, who doesn't break into the door to drink and eat meat in large chunks, as for working for others?

Those who really understand the history of the Gurkha people will also find that the historical Gurkha people not only failed to cut off large pieces of fat on Ah Sange's body to eat, but were frequently invaded and conquered by the losers and exiles in the war for hegemony in northern India.

The current Gurkha Shah dynasty has only been established for 20 years, and for the first 1200 years it was a small prince living in a corner of the Gurkha, and its founding lord Prithvi died young, and his son Pratap Sinha continued his father's unfinished business. However, Pratap died young just a few days after he ascended the throne and was succeeded by his two-year-old son, Rana Bahadur Shah, who was regent by his uncle Chanda Bahadur Shah.

In recent years, Chen Ming's deepest impression of the Gurkha Shah Dynasty was Uncle Wang Bahadur.

This is a very discerning decision-maker, during his 15 years in power, conquered all the princely states in the western part of the Gurkhas, and invaded India in the west, reaching Kashmir in the front, and invading large areas of Sikkim in the east. Moreover, Chanda Bahadur was not a war maniac, he was very good at using diplomacy to consolidate the gains made and make the Gurkha stronger.

If the position of the Gurkha Kingdom was occupied by such a person, Chen Ming would firmly support the Gurkha and launch an offensive war against the northern princely states of India. It's a pity that the king of the Gurkha is Rana Bahadur Shah.

This is the biggest hidden danger of the Gurkha Kingdom.

When Chen Ming sent the reorganized Fifth Division into Tibet, he concluded that the Gurkha people would not dare to point the spearhead of the war at Houzang in their lives.

Chen Ming planned to change the route that he needed to adjust many years ago, and asked Huang Zicong to serve as a special envoy at the same time, and conveyed to Changda Bahadur Shah that Emperor Chen supported him to depose the king and establish himself, and the Gurkha kingdom ruled by Changda would become Chen Han's loyal dog and a vicious dog in the southern foothills of the Himalayas from now on.

That's the general idea. There are many specific details, and a whole folder is locked in a small box that Huang Zicong carries with him, and he is in charge of the key.

For example, in the future, the issue of the refitting and instructors of the Gurkha army, the police and the taxation of the gates;

For example, the new education and financial advisers and legal advisers of the Gurkhas, all the advisers of the Gurkhas;

For example, how much financial support will Chen Han give to the Gurkhas, and what will he ask them for......

These are all questions, and they are all issues that can be discussed.

Chen Ming is dancing his teeth and claws at India.

In any case, it is a foregone conclusion that France will retreat from China and advance into China, and it is absolutely impossible for France to repay its debts to China in the current revolutionary situation. They were not in any position to secure their colonies in India, so it was the most rational decision for Paris to 'exchange' them with China.

In such a situation, China's entry into India is a foregone conclusion, and the competition between China and the British is as if it has been put on the surface.

In this way, if Chen Ming wants to attack the Gurkhas, why should he hide it?

He showed it openly, even if the British wanted to interfere, what would they do to interfere? And how can we ensure that the intervention will succeed and not exacerbate the contradictions between China and Britain?

And Gurkha is just in the north of India, from Bengal, from Kolkata, all very close.

Chen Ming didn't believe that the people of insight there would not see the 'harm' of the British!

As for who to choose as a backer between the UK and China, China's odds of winning the lottery are definitely much higher than those of the British. Because the Gurkha are more like Chinese.

No one will let a neighbor who looks similar and incomparably powerful not rely on a foreign country with a very different appearance, a very different culture, and a very different skin color. [The Gurkha are an integral part of the Nepalese people today]

As for the possibility of China's complete annexation of the Gurkha lands, it is really not very large.

Even less wary of China than the British were swallowing of Bangladesh, and the Gurkhas were less wary of China.

On the map of the South Asian subcontinent that Chen Ming placed in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, there are several independent forces of different colors in China's sphere of influence in the region south of the Himalayas.

The Gurkha are one of them, and there is one more Sikh, and the Afghans can be the third.

Chen Ming's plan to dispose of India is not to annex it entirely, there are too many people there, and there is its own long-inherited religion and culture, and it is too difficult to annex and sinicize.

Therefore, Chen Ming wants to treat India as China's version of 'South America' - the back garden.

"America is America for Americans!" Grant's words have been enshrined in the past hundred years by generations of lighthouse presidents. Although there have been some changes during this period, such as Cuba, such as Venezuela.

But on the whole, Latin American countries are really the backyard of the old United States. It is a vital link in the process of maintaining the interests and hegemony of the lighthouse state.

Chen Ming plans to divide the Indian region into small countries, so that all these small countries will become China's vassals, which will continue to convey benefits to China, and become the sales market for China's industrial products and the source market for all kinds of raw materials in China.

Based on India's current population, it will still be the most densely populated area in the world after Chinese mainland in a hundred years, and it will also become China's largest foreign sales market.

Few people can know Chen Ming's true intention to send troops to Tibet. Chen Ming's drunkard's intention is not to drink, Chen Ming's 'Xiangzhuang sword dance is intended to be Pei Gong'!

……

May of the eighteenth year of Chengtian, that is, the beginning of June in 1792 of the Western calendar.

The large ocean-going merchant ship "Stockholm", which departed from Stockholm, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden, carried the envoy of King Gustav III of France and Sweden, and slowly approached the port of Shanghai.

“…… There seem to be more sailing ships in the Huangpu River than in the entire Baltic Sea, and there are incomparably beautiful clippers, one after another. This kind of ship, which is being phased out in the war, also has an extraordinary commercial significance. The first Western-style sailing ship invented by the Chinese destined to be recorded in the history of navigation, the slender and graceful hull is clean and tidy, and when it crosses a graceful arc in front of you at a speed that conventional sailing ships cannot inspire at all, you seem to see the noble ladies dancing in the palace, they are so beautiful, elegant, and noble.

"Shanghai is not the capital of the Chinese, but Shanghai is a model of a new type of Chinese city, a city that must be talked about to understand China. It's not the largest and most prosperous city in China, but it's definitely one of the largest and most prosperous in China, and it's the youngest of the millions of inhabitants in this group.

It is only 300 kilometers from the capital of the Chinese, from becoming a real city to today's resident population of more than one million, Shanghai only took 20 years, which is like a miracle given by God, magical and unbelievable.

It is home to roughly three Stockholm populations and has surprisingly large and wide streets and districts.

Jinghai is already the cleanest and most beautiful town I have ever seen, and Singapore has refreshed my perception. Shanghai, on the other hand, makes me can't believe what I see with my eyes, and I can't imagine that there are more exquisite and gorgeous cities in the world. All the European rumors of more than a decade add up, and they are not comparable to the small corners that we see now.

Its luxury, nobility and cleanliness made every one of its people deeply proud, and seeing everything here, the Chinese's powerful and conceited pride seemed incomprehensible. ……”

40-year-old Yegor Gaidar rode in a horse-drawn carriage, stunned and nostalgic, looking out the window at the beautiful Shanghai city.

For him, who is accustomed to the dirty and messy cities of today's Russian cities, Shanghai is really as noble as heaven.

This is not a small port area, but a whole city, a city that is bigger than Gaidar could have imagined. Every corner of the place is so clean and tidy. Gaidar finally had the most intuitive understanding of the most powerful country rumored to occupy the world's most vast land.

Earlier, the ceremony to welcome the Swedish mission was held in the dock area of Shanghai, and accompanied by Gao Yanming, the special envoy of the Swedish king, Elinora, also inspected the honor guard of the three armed forces present.

In China's military music and drum noise, which makes Westerners feel completely different, rows of officers and soldiers of the navy and army wearing white gloves, straight uniforms, and holding guns on their chests, all with their heads held high and solemn expressions, make all Swedes feel a neat beauty. And the citizens of the dock area occupied both sides of the avenue, and the Chinese did not seem to fake the 'sandwich welcome', which made every member of the Swedish mission who came feel honored.

Except for Robin Lustig, who came to welcome him, his face was slightly stiff.

Robin Lustig was dissatisfied with Gustav III's decision-making, which was emotional, and he was carried away by 'friendship'. In a good situation, he negotiated peace with the Russians. Elinora's trip to China brought with her another obstructive Russian - Yegor Gaidar.

Robin Lustig was really worried about whether His Majesty the Emperor of China would be angry.

Gustav III, this is a betrayal!
