It's a golden autumn, a fruitful autumn.

After Lin Haifeng reached a consensus in Beijing with a delegation composed of the princes of the major Mongolian tribes, and after the forward troops of the Red Second Front Army under the command of Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun began to march into the Mongolian steppe, Chengdu also transmitted a report from Zeng Shuiyuan of the Southwest Military and Political Office, and the Tibetan Kashag government signed an agreement agreeing to accept the peaceful entry of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire into Tibet.

When it comes to Tibet now, it is also an eventful time.

Three years ago, the seventh ** passed away, and the "reincarnated" spirit child over there has not yet been fully searched, here, the eleventh ** lama, who was only 18 years old and only 18 years old last year, suddenly died violently in the Potala Palace. Tibet's politics and religion suddenly fell into an unprecedented state of extreme panic.

As early as the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Red Army's pacification of Sichuan, Lin Fengxiang, Qin Rigang, Huang Zaixing, and others, on behalf of the Celestial Empire government, issued a peaceful proposal to Tibet's political and religious leaders, hoping that everyone would seek common ground while reserving small differences for the sake of national unity and national interests, and on the premise that Tibet was an inalienable part of the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As for the existing Tibetan army, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire will be reorganized, and everyone will work together to strengthen and consolidate national defense, so as to eliminate the phenomenon of having borders and defenses that has existed in Tibet for many years. The local government of Tibet has the responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the government of the Celestial Empire in exercising sovereignty over this land and to stabilize the political and social situation in Tibet.

At the same time, the proposal stated that the central government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would fully respect and take into account the feelings of Tibet's ethnic and religious groups, and in addition to granting "the Tibetan people the right to exercise regional ethnic autonomy," it would also "not change Tibet's current system of integrating government and religion." **The inherent status and powers of lamas are not subject to change by the central government. ** Erdeni's inherent position and powers should also be maintained. "Officials at all levels in Tibet are serving as usual." Implement the policy of "freedom of religious belief, respect the religious beliefs and customs of the Tibetan people, and protect lama monasteries." "The central government will not be forced to carry out various reforms in Tibet, but the local government of Tibet should make changes in a timely and automatic manner according to the development to improve the livelihood of the Tibetan people." When the people urgently demand reform, the central government will also adopt the method of consultation with the Tibetan upper echelons to resolve the issue. ”

Since then, Zeng Shuiyuan, who presided over the military administration of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government in the southwest, has been patiently shaking an olive branch of peace to the upper echelons of Tibet through various channels.

However, within the upper echelons of Tibet, there have always been two voices.

One is the vested interests who benefit from the "Great Qing", that is, those big aristocrats. The Taiping Revolution, which was in full swing, was not unheard of in the seemingly closed Tibet. Not to mention, just one Sichuan "noisy" vigorously fighting local tyrants and dividing up the land is enough for them to have every reason to be afraid and worry for a while. Those in Tibetan areas who sang behind their backs every day, "There are ownerless beasts on the mountain, but there are no ownerless people under the mountains", and the "chaba (people who lead the poor land)", "pile of poor people" (meaning small households, and some are foreign fireworks households) and "langsheng (slaves)" who used to be able to let them peel their skin and cramp and not even dare to fart out, once they had the support of the Red Army behind their waist poles, it would be fresh not to rebel against them. Coupled with the demagogy and instigation of Manchu Qing Minister in Tibet Manqing and Deputy Minister in Tibet Hethe, these people were all gearing up and making a great noise about fighting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime to the end.

However, those who advocate a peaceful settlement of Tibet's ownership are mostly concentrated among the disciples of the major monasteries. For many years, Tibet's borders have been unstable, especially in recent years, the East India Company under the British colony, which had long coveted Tibet, began to constantly stir up disputes on the border in order to restrain the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government's massive recovery action, so as to exert pressure on the Tibetan upper strata and force the Tibetan upper strata to accept their vigorous advocacy of "** nationhood". In this preoccupied situation of the Manchu government, the greed of the foreigners, and the disappointment of the Manchu inaction, these monks, who longed for a peaceful environment in Tibet forever, naturally turned their attention to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.

Just as the land reform of the Celestial Empire could not have been known to the Tibetan aristocracy, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government army swept the Manchu pigtailed soldiers on the battlefield like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, especially the style of beating the invading army of Tsarist Russia, naturally through various ways and into their ears. Tibet belongs to China, and they have never doubted this, and the army under the command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government can make all the people of the country stand up to the heavens and the earth, so for the sake of Tibet's better tomorrow, they can only and must fall here.

In addition, they are more familiar with the way of reincarnation in the Buddhist scriptures, from just 50 years, there have been successive violent deaths of the 9th Great Lama** who was just 11 years old, the 10th Great Lama** who died young at the age of 22, and now the 11th **Great Lama** who died violently without warning, sensitively smelled the breath of early morning and late decline. They know best in their hearts that the ** Great Lama was a "new force" that stood out from the various factions in Tibet by relying on the favor of the Qing Dynasty back then. The Qing Dynasty has become the yellow flower of the past, where will the great lama feel good. Tibet has always been a mixed faction, at present, secretly trying to compete with the ** people for power and profit are not only one faction and two factions, if you do not find a harder backer in time, the future "reincarnated spirit child" gold bottle casting can not be held, not to mention, it is very likely that the vested good situation will be lost.

Their ideas have been echoed by **. After the search of Tashilhunpo Monastery, the candidates for the "reincarnation of the spirit child" of the eighth ** have been found and are about to be found in Zhucang Village in the Tobuga region of Houzang, but now they are also distressed that it is very likely that they will not be able to hold the "Golden Vase Lottery" in accordance with the law. Minister Man Qing and Deputy Minister of the Tibet Consulate General Hetehe came to the door several times, patted their chests, stomped their feet, and swore to the sky that the Qing Dynasty would never fall down like the Kunlun Snow Mountain, and applied again and again that they would come to preside over the golden vase casting ceremony as always. But the Regency Rezhen Living Buddha answered them with silence. The Living Buddha was thinking, "Forget it, I don't want to see the fourth great lama who dies young."

As a result, rumors spread in Tibet, and the most popular sentence is, if the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached?

Seeing that the voice of peace in Tibet is getting stronger and stronger, some people who are unwilling to be defeated are also spreading all kinds of rumors, instigating and creating contradictions between various factions, and inciting people to organize and resolutely oppose those filthy Han Chinese entering the holy Tibetan areas and establishing a "great Tibetan state" of their own. Soon, those unscrupulous people set their sights on the Han people, and the few Han civilians who were rarely seen began to be mutilated, and even the Han officers and soldiers in the Manchu army stationed in Tibet also became the objects of their hunting. The scattered Han soldiers "disappeared" one after another, and when they were discovered, they had already become mutilated bodies that had been broken into pieces. After that, even the Manchurian officers and soldiers of individual armies stationed in Tibet could not escape the calamity.

Not only are the Tibetan elites headed by the Living Buddha of Rechen aware of this, but even Manqing and Hethe have understood that those bastards who are vigorously opposed to Tibet's peaceful attribution to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government are not motivated by loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, but have ulterior motives and want to separate Tibet from the complete Chinese land, and the ultimate beneficiary will not be the Tibetans at all, but the ghost of England who hides behind and cannot see people.

Knowing this, Man Qing and Hethe's attitude changed suddenly. On the one hand, they began to join forces with Rezhen to suppress those Tibetan traitors who dared to come forward, and on the other hand, they also began to acquiesce in the idea of a peaceful settlement in Tibet, and hoped that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire would enter Tibet as much as possible to deter those damned **. In their hearts, Tibet is always better for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom than for outsiders. This is because the Qing Dynasty cannot never have a prosperous day, and if that day comes, Tibet will still be in the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, the clamor of ** gradually subsided, and finally drowned out by the huge wave of peace.
