Yanjing Pingxi Mansion Shop, an old man was sitting cross-legged, after a while, a middle-aged man walked in, the old man opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Qianfeng, you have done my best with the empty surname of the double cultivation method, and now you have also achieved some cultivation, today I ordered you to come, there is an order." ”

"Please show me." Zhao Fuchen immediately responded, the old man in front of him was clear, and he was one of his most respected masters. Zhao Fuchen ran through several provinces for the sake of cultivation, and apprenticed to no less than thirty-six, until March 13, the 21st year of Guangxu, he met Ran and was empty in Jinshan Temple, and saw that the eyes of the two were like electricity, shooting people brightly, knowing that they were full of energy and energy, and they must have the ability, Zhao Fuchen knelt down on the spot to learn from the teacher.

Compared with other cultivators, Zhao Fuchen is more able to put down his body, so he can apprentice to thirty-six masters, but only he knows the suffering, although there are many masters, but he really meets a capable master or knows it.

He nodded and said slowly: "Now that the East China Political Axe wants to open a prosperous era and revitalize the Chinese national arts, after discussing with your Master Kong, I decided to send you to Hangzhou and ferry eight hundred disciples to teach the world the method of cultivating the truth." ”

"Yes, master." Zhao Fuchen agreed without hesitation.

"In addition, you are a layman, you must have children before you take big medicine." Explained that picking big medicine is a term, and after reaching that realm, the outer yang shrinks inward, and the whole body does not leak, so it will be impossible to have children.

"Yes."

Zhao Fuchen, known as Qianfeng, is the eleventh generation of the Longmen faction during the Republic of China, and was ordered by the teacher to enter the secular apprenticeship during the Republic of China.

In the 24th year of the Republic of China, 2,000 apprentices have been awarded, up to President Li Yuanhong, warlords Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin, and their son Zhang Xueliang, Xinhai Revolutionary Father Zhu Ziqiao, Du Xinwu, senior Kuomintang general Zhang Zhong, famous Peking Opera performance artist Cheng Yanqiu, down to the common people, all of whom do not refuse to come, do not stay, and create another prosperous era after Qiu Chuji.

Zhang Xueliang lived to be more than a hundred years old before he died, which had something to do with Zhao Shunchen, and of course it had something to do with being imprisoned and having time to cultivate.

At this time, due to the change of history, Zhao Fuchen also went out of the mountain in advance.

…… After the year, the East China political axe was busy with spring sowing on the one hand, and was busy preparing to deal with Tibet Province and Outer Mongolia on the other.

Outer Mongolia is better, but Tibet Province has to worry about geographical problems, Tibet Province is located on a plateau, altitude sickness is strong, soldiers are very prone to problems without special training, and the roads in Tibet Province are not smooth, which is also a major obstacle to solving the problem of Tibetan Province.

The Tibetan issue had to be solved, and this was also the best time to solve it, because Britain was unable to take care of the Asian problem, and China had won a big victory, and there was no obstacle to solving the Tibetan problem.

Liu Xiaoguo, commander of the Northwest Military Region, is making preparations for resolving the Tibetan provincial issue, and the 100,000 officers and men of the Northwest Military Region will quickly take up their posts after the New Year, and few of them are new recruits.

In terms of transportation, the Ministry of Construction has already solved the traffic problems of the Northwest Military Region, and in late February, the railway has been repaired to Luntai in the Western Regions, and although the highway has not been repaired, there are still roads, but the road conditions are not very good.

With the railway, the transportation problem of the Northwest Military Region has been solved, and after 100,000 officers and men were transferred to the Northwest Military Region, military training for plateau operations began.

Liu Xiaoguo was Xia Jun's gold medal fighter at this time, and he was responsible for some thorny ethnic surname issues.

After solving the ethnic problem in the Western Regions, Liu Xiaoguo has understood what he should really do, in terms of military speaking, the challenge surname is very small, but the real challenge surname is not the military, but the national issue.

In this regard, Liu Xiaoguo has understood how to do it and by what means.

Tibet Province is a vast region located on the southwestern frontier of China, in the southwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is bordered by Xinjiang Province and Qinghai Province in the north, Sichuan Province in the east, Yunnan Province in the southeast, and Myanmar, India, Bhutan, Nepal and other countries in the south and west, forming a border of nearly 4,000 kilometers between China and the above countries. The land area of the region is more than 1.22 million square kilometers, accounting for about 12.8% of the total area of the country.

With an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, Tibet Province is the main part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is known as the "Roof of the World". The terrain here is complex and can be roughly divided into three different natural areas: the northern Tibetan plateau in the north, located between the Kunlun Mountains, the Tanggula Mountains, the Gangdis Mountains and the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains, accounting for two-thirds of the area of the autonomous region.

Two-thirds of these regions are very economically underdeveloped, with extremely inconvenient transportation and a cold and changeable climate, so they are not suitable for economic development.

Between the Gangdis Mountains and the Himalayas, where the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries flow, is the Southern Tibetan Valley; Eastern Tibet is a series of alpine valleys that gradually turn from east-west to north-south, and are part of the famous Hengduan Mountains.

Among them, the South Tibet Valley is the most economically developed area in Tibetan Province, the main population is concentrated in the South Tibet Valley, and the agriculture here is also the most developed in Tibet Province.

The average temperature in Lhasa is 10~15 degrees lower than that of Chengdu and Wuhan at the same latitude, which shows that the temperature in Tibetan Province is indeed very bad.

For China, Tibetan Province is not because this region is rich that it must be recovered, but more importantly, because of the strategic location of Tibetan Province.

After recovering Tibetan Province, China has a military buffer zone that can threaten India and hold a buffer zone that can be held over long distances.

And for Xia Jun, recovering Tibetan Province is a matter that can earn points.

At the same time, after recovering Tibetan Province, Bhutan can also recover Bhutan, Bhutan at this time has read power, Bhutan was the territory of China in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that Bhutan went out.

Later Bhutan was dominated by India, but before that Bhutan had little to do with India.

Bhutan was invaded by the British in 1772. In 1865, Bhutan was forced to sign the Treaty of Sinchula, and Bhutan was forced to cede 2,000 square kilometers of land.

In 1907, Wuyan? Wangchuck (1907-1926) abolished King Debu and assumed himself king, establishing the Kingdom of Bhutan, which combined political and religious power and made the king hereditary.

In January 1910, Britain signed the Treaty of Punakha with Bhutan. Bhutan's external relations are "directed" by the British.

Britain's long-term expansion into Tibetan provinces on the basis of Indian colonies was intended to obtain a buffer zone for the Indian colonies, in addition to Britain's usual colonial habits.

During the Xinhai Revolution, the British also sent troops into Tibetan Province.

Britain has extended its hand not only to Bhutan, but also to the Tibetan province.

On the issue of Tibetan provinces, Britain has always taken a resolute attitude.

At this time, Britain was mired in war and was temporarily unable to deal with the Tibetan issue.

This is the power enjoyed by the victor, and only the big fist has the right to speak.

The situation in Asia has basically settled down, and some of the problems since the defeat of the war have gradually subsided, and everything will return to the normal track.

At the same time, the defeat also made the people of the country more united by the emperor's side, striving to turn over as soon as possible.

There has been a massive outflow of international capital into China.

Maritime trade also began to resume after the Sino-Chinese War.

However, the destruction of the combined fleet of the Navy's navy is an irreversible fact, so the international status of the navy has declined sharply, and Chinese fishing boats have sailed to the waters of the country to carry out fishing operations.

At first, Chinese fishing boats sailed to the vicinity of the local waters, and then the East China Sea Fleet sent warships to protect the fishing boats, emboldening the owners of these fishing boats.

It is said that there are still some warships, but in order not to clash with the Chinese navy, they can only tolerate it.

The East China Distant-Water Fishing Company played a leading role in the invasion of the local fishing grounds, and at a time when many wealthy areas of the high seas were not designated as territorial waters of some countries, distant-water fishing was a lucrative undertaking.

The East China Ocean Fishing Company has caught a variety of valuable fish for China, and these fish have begun to come to the people's tables, while in terms of offshore fishing, the policy of the East China political axe is relatively strict, with an annual fishing moratorium of half a year and a year-round fishing moratorium every five years.

It is said that Ben is a water dog at this time, in addition to grasping the help extended by Britain and the United States, he has to endure the beating of them by the East China political axe.

In the Asian region, China has become the strongest country, but China has not settled down internally and externally, and Tibetan Province, Outer Mongolia, and the two southwestern provinces are the problems that East China's political axe will solve for a period of time in the future.

But in terms of the way to solve these problems, Xia Jun took the approach of first going outside and then securing inside.

Let's settle Tibet Province and Mongolia first, after all, the opportunity is rare, and when Britain relaxes, it will not be as easy to solve it now.

As for the southwestern provinces, it would be much easier to solve them, and they would not be subject to external interference.

Sending troops to Tibet Province was already imperative, and there was no doubt about the result, and the Northwest Military Region was conducting high-altitude military training while the engineers began to build roads into the valleys of southern Tibet.

The officers and men of the Northwest Military Region have already marched into Qinghai and will build a road from Qinghai to Tibet Province.

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway in later generations, from Xining City, the capital of Qinghai Province, to Lhasa via Chaka, Dulan and Golmud, has a total length of 1,214 kilometers, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, including the Tanggula Pass with an altitude of 4,837 meters. The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the world's highest altitude, the longest asphalt highway, smooth throughout the year, is the only route with passenger shuttle bus operation among the four highways into Tibet in China, and is also the shortest distance, the best road condition and the safest highway to Tibet Province at present.

This route into Tibet was obviously the best, and there was nothing wrong with building a road, as long as an infantry division was sent to protect the sapper construction.

Although it is said that the transmission of information is relatively closed, Britain has ties with Tibetan Province, and since the East China Army has begun to build roads to the doorstep of Tibetan Province, the Tibetan Province will naturally not be indifferent to this extent.

In such a situation, the 9th Panchen Lama of Tibetan Province Qu Ji Nyima came to the border of Tibet Province and Qinghai to welcome the East China Army into Tibet, and this behavior of the 9th Panchen Lama had a huge contradiction with the 13th [***] Lama, who was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the 9th Panchen Lama.

Before the East China Army entered Tibet, there was already a split within Tibetan Province.

The 9th Panchen Lama believed that submission to China was the right path, while the [***] Lama opposed submission to the political axe of East China, and his confidence was given by the British.

At this time, the information is blocked, and the British will naturally not say that they can't do it, just like every man, if they can't do it, they have to say okay, the thirteenth [***] didn't see the situation clearly, and tried in vain to use the power of Britain to resist the military pressure from the East China political axe.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Britain is the world boss, and since it is the boss, it is always right to hold the boss's thigh.

Unfortunately, the 13th Lama [***] missaw the situation.

The 9th Panchen Lama Qu Ji Nyima, on the other hand, saw the situation clearly and chose the right queue.

The relationship between the Panchen and [***] has deteriorated for a long time, which is one of the main reasons why the two are standing in different queues.

In 1912, after the 13th [***] returned to Tibet from Darjeeling, the relationship between [***] and the Panchen Lama gradually deteriorated. The reason for this is that in 1915, [***] established Jizong (equivalent to the administrative commissioner's office in the mainland) in Yukhase, and appointed the monk Luo Sang Dun Zhu and the lay official Mu Xia as Jizong (the chief official of Later Tibet). The authority of the Jizong is very great, and in addition to the jurisdiction of all the Zongxi in Houzang, they also have jurisdiction over the four sects and all the Xikha to which the Panchen belongs, which infringes on the inherent status and authority of the Panchen. After the establishment of the Jizong, the military ration tax and the Ula were levied and apportioned to the people in the Panchen Lama's jurisdiction. In this way, the relationship between the Panchen and [***] has deteriorated. At the beginning of 1916, the Panchen Lama wrote a letter to [***], pointing out that Jizong had inappropriately interfered in the affairs of the monastery and asked for a meeting to solve the problem.

As a result, relations between the two sides have deteriorated to a certain extent.

Under the welcome of Qu Ji Nyima, the advance infantry division of the Northwest Military Region of the East China Army drove directly into Tibetan Province, and the British support expected by the 13th [***] did not arrive at all, and the infantry division of the East China Army drove into Lhasa.

Due to the leadership of the 9th Panchen Lama, the East China Army did not encounter any battle situation on the road, and except for the road conditions that were not very good, they drove directly into Lhasa along the way.

The infantry division of the East China Army that entered Lhasa was the 36th Division, and the division commander was named Ke Linhui.

Ke Linhui was born in the East China Military Academy, accepted national ideas for a long time, and was one of the young Zhuang factions of the East China Army, so he started extremely black, and immediately supported the Ninth Panchen Lama to suppress the 13th [***].

…… Xia Jun was pulling his son and daughter to run this morning, and began to teach them to practice Tai Chi, this Tai Chi was learned by Xia Jun from Sun Lutang, there are a lot of routines, the official simplified version of the later generations is 24-style Tai Chi, if you want to finish a set of 24-style Tai Chi in a standard posture, beginners feel a headache, and Sun Lutang taught him Tai Chi as many as 100 styles, but Xia Jun is very talented, and he memorized the routines after learning for a few days, and he also has eight points to play.

Xia Pingqi has been educated by Xia Jun for more than a month, and now in addition to Xia Jun lifting him out of the bed every day, he is already able to run with him, and he doesn't cry like before, because he finds that crying is useless.

Xia Jun's baby daughter Xia Xiaoting is much more well-behaved, and now she can consciously get up early, which makes Xia Jun very pleased.

The purpose of learning Tai Chi is to cooperate with the practice of Qi, and Taoism pays attention to the combination of movement and static, so in addition to meditation and Qi training, monks generally practice Tai Chi.

When Xia Jun was doing Tai Chi, Zhou Shunze ran over and reported in Xia Jun's confusion: "Chairman, Tibetan Province has been recovered. ”

"What?" Xia Jun couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked in wonder, "Has Tibet Province been recovered?" ”

Isn't this yet the beginning of a formal operation? How did the Tibetan province recover?

"This is the report submitted by the Western Military District." Zhou Shunze handed the report to Xia Jun, who read the report for a while and couldn't help laughing.

The fact that Tibet Province was able to recover so smoothly is inseparable from the contradictions within Tibet Province.

However, there is no suspense in the military, and what is in suspense is the administrative management issue and the national treatment issue.

How to manage Tibetan Province specifically, Xia Jun has to go back and discuss it with the following.

…… A division of the East China Army entered Lhasa, and under the pressure of the black-handed division commander, the Tibetan Province [***] finally cried and shouted to return to China.

Tibetan Province announced its official reconquest.

When the news came back to the provinces, people could not help but be shocked by the efficiency, and not long ago they said that they would recover Tibetan Province, but they did not expect to recover Tibetan Province so quickly.

But if managing Tibetan provinces is a big problem.

Xia Jun convened two meetings, and after discussion, it was decided to retain the serfdom system in Tibetan Province, out of respect for the local system of Tibetan Province.

In fact, this serfdom was extremely unproductive and oppressive.

However, according to the choice of the Tibetan people, the Han people were not allowed to be included in serfdom. On the religious side, Tibetan Lamaism is forbidden to spread to other provinces of China, but it is allowed to remain in its current state.

Serfdom in Tibetan Province is a system that prohibits personal freedom and is full of oppression, and Xia Jun naturally has his considerations if he does not abolish this system.

Later, there was a riot in Tibetan Province!

If serfdom had been preserved and the Tibetans had maintained the current status quo in Tibetan provinces, then their revolt would have been impossible, and Xia Jun would have retained their religious power, so that there would be no conflict between the two sides.

The economy of Tibetan Province is not very much appreciated, but the economy is not completely handed over to the Lamaism of Tibetan Province, but the profits created by those serfs belong to Lamaism, and the economic management of the Han people is carried out by the East China political axe.

How good it is that in the state of serfdom, society is stable! Why bother to destroy such a system!

In terms of controlling Tibetan Province, the East China Political Axe can choose those projects that have economic benefits to develop in Tibetan Province, so that they can migrate to Tibetan Province.

The deployment of police and troops at the same time is enough to control Tibetan Province.

It was naturally impossible to abolish serfdom at the beginning of the East China political axe, and even later China did not abolish such a system at the beginning.

But whether it will be abolished or not in the future depends on some consideration, this system will definitely be abolished, but when it will be abolished, it depends on the attitude of those serfs.

If China's political axe takes the initiative to abolish serfdom, people may not appreciate it in the future! How about another riot for you?

Anyway, Xia Jun doesn't really want to pay attention to whether their lives are good or bad, let them stay as they are! Although this system will inevitably be abolished much later.

In terms of administration, the East China political axe is to be taken over, and at the same time, the Tibetan province can also form an autonomous political axe, two overlapping political axes, one to manage their serfs, and the other to manage the Han and other ethnic minorities.

The East China political axe will not interfere in the management of serfs by Lamaism, but in terms of investment, Lamaism should not jump out of the way.

In terms of relations, the Chinese political axe is the superior, and Lamaism is the inferior, and they will have to pay some price if they want to maintain their privileges.

As a result, the two sides have formed a relationship of non-interference and coordinated development.

This scheme is so harmonious!

Tibet was nominally recovered, but the actual takeover was not yet complete, administrative personnel had to be dispatched, and roads leading to Tibet had to be built.

Especially the road to Tibetan Province, because Xia Jun wanted to use Tibetan Province as a springboard to attack India.

The road will be built to the Bhutanese border first, and the road to India can be built slowly.

(To be continued)
