Chengdu.

Sichuan Governor Zhao Erxun, Admiral Ma Weiqi, and Zhong Ying, the Thirty-third Mixed Association Commander, gathered in the Governor's Palace.

Zhao Erxun's face was grim: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received an urgent telegram from Lord Zhao Erfeng, Minister Plenipotentiary in Tibet and Minister of Sichuan-Yunnan Frontier, from Kangding Mansion. Lord Zhao actively prepared, firstly, to thwart the rebels of the Bomi Tuwang, and secondly, to take this opportunity to march into Tibetan Province and pacify the entire territory of Tibetan Province! Lord Erzhao is short of troops, so please transfer my Sichuan army to reinforce! ”

"How can it be!" Ma Weiqi was furious: "Since the Bomi Tu King returned to our dynasty, he has rebelled repeatedly, and as soon as the situation changes, he surrenders immediately. Repeated rebellions have always been a problem for my court's henchmen. Now that he is plotting a rebellion again, is it tolerable or unbearable! Although Ma is old and useless, he is also willing to raise our Sichuan army and fight to the death with the king of Bomitu! ”

"He Laoma's military door is going in person!" Zhong Ying got up and said: "Since Phoenix Mountain has organized and trained the new army, the new army has been completed!" Zhong Ying is willing to lead the Thirty-Three Mixed Association to counterinsurgency! ”

"Good!" Zhao Erxun said loudly: "I originally meant the same thing, the thirty-three mixed associations have been trained so far, and there has not been a real battle, since the Zhong Association is willing to go, this governor is not allowed!" Zhong Xietong, Batang is in danger, you can go to quell the rebellion as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, lowly commanded!"

Zhao Erxun groaned: "Zhong Xietong, that, Wang Hengyue, the king of the first team of the second battalion, is fighting foreigners and destroying bandits, and he is in the limelight." A few days ago, he was mixed with foreigners, and with a small team of officers, he actually fought side by side with the governor and the admiral, which was really majestic. Why doesn't Zhong Xietong use him as a striker? ”

Zhong Ying was stunned, he had heard the name of Wang Hengyue, it seemed that he had taken Ye Xuanbiao's way, and as a result, he had done some things in Rong County.

But it is a rare thing for such a small squad officer to be personally ordered by Lord Governor

"What? Let my first team be the all-army striker? When Wang Hengyue heard the news, he didn't react for a while.

"Exactly, I heard that this is the general ordered by the Governor himself."

Wang Hengyue nodded, why did he forget about such a thing in Tibetan Province? The Bomi Governor, the so-called Bomi King himself, is worth it.

According to Tibetan legend, the Bomi Tuwang family came from the Tibetan Zampu. As early as when the Sibuye tribe in the Yalong region established the Tibetan regime, the Bowo region had already formed a tribe of reading power. After the Tibetan Zhigong Zampu was killed, his son Cha Qi fled to Bowo. More than ten years later, the Sibu Ye people welcomed the establishment of Chaqi as Zampu from Bowo. Bomi was ruled by the descendants of Zhigong Zampu.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Bomi region maintained a state of semi-reading power, and only nominally belonged to the local government of Tibetan Province. The Bomi Tu King's rule included parts of present-day Bomi County, Motuo County, and Nyingchi County, and at its most powerful, he controlled eighteen sects. Its ruling center is in the ancient township of Bomi County, Kalang Village, so it is also called King Kalang. Today, there are the ruins of the Kalang Palace. In the 56th year of the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongol Dzungar army entered Tibet and burned down the Kalang mansion, and the king of Bomi moved to Sovaka.

During the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong, ministers and Kashag were set up in Tibet, which made Lhasa's local political axe unprecedentedly strengthened its dominance over all parts of Tibet. The Kashag set up the Bowo, Bodui, and Tanduo sects in the lower Bomi area, and levied taxes and tribal Ula servants in various places.

In the first year of Daoguang, the king of Bomitu, Nima Jiebu, fell ill and died without children. His subordinate local officials Zhabu and Qujie Wangqiu Raodan each took one side and returned to the imperial court in the 14th year of Daoguang. However, in the following year, Zabu took advantage of his own danger and led the crowd to rob the merchants, and attacked the post stations of Bianba and Shuobanduo. In the sixteenth year of Daoguang, the officers and soldiers exterminated the Zabu forces, and at the same time named Wangchu Raodan as Kalang Diba, recognizing the power of the king of Bomitu. Thereafter, the imperial court allowed the Bomi region to deliver ghee only to the Kashag.

Since the beginning of Jiaqing, the Bomi Tu King has gone through seven generations.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Bomi tribes often plundered passing merchants and clashed with the Sichuan army. "During the Tongzhi period and the fifth and sixth years of Guangxu, he repeatedly surrendered and betrayed. Relying on the danger of the land and the fierce people, he went out from time to time to crack down on robberies, burn and kill serious cases, and there was no one for all. ”

This Bomi Tu King is a capricious villain, who is now said to be rebellious, tomorrow is said to be surrendered, rebelled and surrendered, and surrendered and rebelled.

The counterinsurgency of the 33rd Mixed Association of the Sichuan Army and the New Army of the Sichuan Army was a great good thing that Zhao Erfeng did in his position as minister in Tibet.

Unexpectedly, his first team has become the vanguard of the whole army!

"Your Excellency." Yu Lei was worried: "Although my first team is slightly larger, it is new after all, and the only battle I fought was only with bandits." I heard that the rebels in Tibetan Province have always been fierce, and there seem to be English people behind them, and their weapons are not inferior to ours at all, otherwise they would not dare to rebel repeatedly. The students are worried."

"I'm worried about sending troops!" Wang Hengyue interrupted him, his face had never been so solemn: "Whether he is strong or strong, with the help of the British, in short, I must fight this battle, and I must be this striker!" If you have beaten it, you have to fight, if you can't beat it, you have to fight it! ”

The subordinates listened attentively, and Wang Hengyue exhaled deeply:

"I won't do anything else, but this matter is about the national territory and the important bureau of the Tibetan Province, even if the first team is left alone, Lao Tzu will be big to the end!"

"Yes! If you have beaten it, you have to fight, if you can't beat it, you have to fight it! ”

Wang Hengyue has never been so eager to fight a battle as he is now!

This battle is not against bandits, if it is not against your own people, it is a rebel!

"Mr. Deng, Qi Feng, you should step up the matter of mining salt wells, and you must not delay." Wang Hengyue commanded.

"Yes."

"Yu Lei and Yang Fangyun will stay in Rong County, and I will leave you thirty more soldiers, your only task is to stabilize the situation in Rong County!"

"Yes!"

"Deng Xia, Pete, the armed guards are also staying in Rong County, pay close attention to the training in Gua Rong Mountain, and once there is a change in Rong County, immediately assist!"

"Yes!" Deng Xia answered loudly, but Pete said in a loud voice: "King, let me go with you!" ”

Wang Hengyue thought about it for a while, left Pete here, God knows what this foreign devil will cause for him, thought about it, and agreed to Pete's request:

"The rest of the departments, prepare today, set out tomorrow in the early morning, do not delay day and night, and be sure to rush to Batang as soon as possible!"

"Obey your lordship's orders!"

"And." After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hengyue said again: "This time it is not the same as the suppression of bandits, the suppression of bandits is vigorous, and the counterinsurgency may as well quietly go out of the city, and wait until we leave, and then let the people of Rong County know." Let them know that we are fighting traitors for the country, and whoever makes trouble at this time will be my enemy! ”
