The veteran was right, as the pioneer of the 118th Division of the Red 30th Army, the special service battalion of the 118th Division was on the high ground outside Shigatse, and it was the headquarters of the Right Route Army of the Gurkha Invading Army that was inadvertently defeated. Their even more unexpected move immediately provoked more and more frenzied retaliation from the Gurkhas.

Nearly 10,000 Gurkha troops abandoned the city of Shigatse, which was about to become a bag, and even ignored the Tibetan soldiers and civilians in the city who were desperately pouring out of the city in order to rescue these dangerous Celestial Empire troops who did not listen to the advice brought by the communication soldiers who had already entered the city. The Chinese bite and tear alive to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

For a whole day and night, in the bloody battle with a rare amount of downtime, although the officers and men of the special service battalion suffered heavy losses, although in the end, the one who shouldered the command of the remaining men and horses of the whole battalion was only a platoon commander who had suffered three knife wounds, but in the hands of the soldiers of the special service battalion, this small high ground that had been repeatedly covered by artillery fire and almost every inch of land was soaked in the blood of the soldiers on both sides, still stood majestically like a rock in the raging waves set off by the Gurkhas.

"I didn't expect that the special battalion of the 118th Division would use this kind of devastating style," Lan Chaoding, commander of the 30th Red Army, said emotionally when referring to the bloody battle of that year, "It was the tenacious perseverance and fearless sacrifice spirit of the special battalion that created an opportunity for the arrival of the main force and the total annihilation of them on the spot, and won extremely valuable time." Can...... But after all, it was more than 500 awesome boys, and in the end, it was ...... I have a dozen left, I'm really distressed! Originally, the task we entrusted them was to quickly rush to the city of Shigatse, on the one hand, to threaten the Gurkha army and slow down the momentum of the Gurkha army's offensive against Shigatse. On the other hand, it is necessary to boost the morale of the Tibetan compatriots stationed in the city, buy time for the arrival of the main force of our army, and finally completely remove the threat of the Gurkha to Shigatse. In other words, we had no plan to gather the Gurkha under the city of Shigatse, and the cemetery chosen for the Gurkha was further west......"

"But this immediacy move of the spy battalion. Coupled with the belligerence of the Gurkha army, it finally fulfilled us," Lan Chaoding suddenly showed a mocking smile on his sad face when he said this, "As soon as we got the news that the Gurkha army and the special battalion of the 118th Division were engaged in a desperate fight, we continued to advance rapidly, and on the other hand, we quickly changed the combat deployment. The original sheep bombing strategy immediately became a closed-door fight for dogs. Be guided by a Tibetan guide. The small and capable cavalry units of each division crossed the Nianchu River before the main army, bypassed Shigatse and inserted themselves into the back of the Gurkhas, holding every road for the Gurkha army to retreat westward. No matter how the Gurkha army, which finally came to its senses, was shaken, it never wavered. The troops directly under the army rushed to the right bank of the Nianchu River and made a gesture of crossing the river, forcing the Gurkha people to look back and relieve the pressure on the special battalion of the 118th Division. And the main force of our army was killed by Gyantse Zong and Xieying respectively for the Nian Chu River, and the Gurkha people were completely sent to a dead end by us......"

The invincible army, which had been brilliantly defeated for several months, was defeated in an instant, and the strategic fortresses occupied by Nyalam and Tsongkha for many years fell one after another.

April 1857 in the Taiping Heavenly Calendar. Chung Bahadur sent a huge Gurkha beggar regiment to the military camp at the foot of Tongla Mountain, which had been ravaged by the iron hooves of their soldiers.

At this time, the Gurkha people moved out of the straw that they had become a vassal of China during the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and justified that they had never had any thoughts about the Tibetan territory of the Celestial Empire, and it was by no means what the legend says, that they were instructed by someone to deliberately disagree with the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government. The reason for the use of force against Tibet. The reason is just that they are too jealous that Tibet can rely on the interior of the Celestial Empire, and they have received considerable economic benefits. However, they are keen on commerce and trade, but they are constrained by Tibet's strategy of closing off the territory to the outside world and are unable to conduct normal commercial and trade exchanges with Tibet, so they have led some radical elements in the country to adopt radical measures that are out of date, and the purpose is only to frighten and frighten Tibetan officials so that they can better continue to live in friendship. Speaking of which, it's always a friction between brothers. Right now. They knew perfectly well that they were wrong, because there was a conflict between the brothers. It is even more important not to fight each other with old fists.

The Gurkha beggars begged the general of the Lan Dynasty to give them a chance to mend their ways, and Tongxin said that their royal government would bear a share of responsibility for the losses caused by the "friction" to Tibet, and pay a certain amount of tribute to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government every year, as it had done with the Manchu court in the past.

In the eyes of the Gurkhas, the general of the Lan Dynasty was still quite satisfied with most of the various terms of begging and surrender they had listed, and the only thing that he was dissatisfied with was the amount of compensation. And it was precisely from the mouth of that Lan Chaoding that the general said, and the compensation he had to get, not only shocked the people of the delegation to stick out their tongues and couldn't retract for a long time, but also Zhongge Bahadur, who was remotely controlling this qiē behind his back, was also suddenly black in front of him after hearing this number.

My mother, a trillion taels of silver, I have never dreamed of such silver!

No matter how the Gurkha wept and wiped their tears. even knelt on the ground and touched his head until his face was bleeding. Lan Chaoding is a man of his word. Not even a penny less can be done. He slapped the outline of the land guarantee that the Jammu people had promised to compensate the Celestial Empire government that he had received from Shi Yukun in front of the Gurkhas. "Are you not more skilled in business than the Jammutes? Is not your territory greater than that of the Jammuites? Even they can afford to pay for it. Why can't you afford to pay for it? Besides. Our General Shi Yukun was able to get so much compensation from such a poor place. You just came to this trick in front of me to ask for money and not kill you. If I have been deceived by you. Where do you put this face? I didn't ask you for a few taels. That's just enough for me. But you are still so dissatisfied. Forget it. Since there is no money. You all hurry up and go back to Lao Tzu. Pack up and see if you can stop Lao Tzu from entering Yangbu (now Kathmandu). If you can't stop it. Then Lao Tzu will go to Yangbu and toss and turn by himself. ”

Obstruct? Easy to say. What kind of block can you use!

Entering May. An uprising broke out in India. Soon. The ancient capital of Delhi was seized by tens of thousands of insurgents. A great uprising was in full swing across the vast expanse of India. He once swore allegiance to the Queen of England for generations. and relied on the British forces to carry out an armed coup d'état. Make the Tirana family themselves eventually hereditary prime ministers. kicked the royal family aside, and it can only be seen as a painting. As a result, he single-handedly held the military and political power of the Gurkha region, Zhongge Bahadur. Now not only is there no help from his British masters. but also according to the will of the master. It is necessary to use all kinds of means. No matter what it takes. Strive for even a superficial and temporary rapprochement with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. so that they can tighten their belts again. Turned around and went to support their landlords. Served as a spearhead in the suppression of the Indian uprising.

Chung Bahadur knows. Now the British are most afraid of the land. In fact, the Red Army troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will enter the Gurkha. The British are rightly worried. Because. Once the Taiping Red Army could not hold back. into his land of Gurkha. That's just a stone's throw away from Delhi. In case there is a "opium hatred" with the British, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government. At such a critical moment, they also played a hand of the usual tricks of the British. Don't say that the rebels in India don't get the lessons they deserve. Even the British, who have dominated here for more than 200 years. I'm afraid that in the end, I will not escape the end of being bombed into the sea.

But really, if it were to follow the British" by all means. at any cost". This cannot but be called Zhongge Bahadur and sorrowful. Because. He no longer has any means. Only silver is left to satisfy the land of "greedy peace robbers". 10,000,000 taels. How long will I be able to pay it off! In the past, it was still a vassal. But as soon as the compensation is written. In the future, won't our Gurkha become a lifelong slave of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

Chung Bahadur hesitated. In fact. No matter how cheerful he is. It will not stop the footsteps of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Because. The reason why Lan Chaoding has been entangled with them in the mat for nearly two months. It's definitely not just for the money. Rather, it is planning and preparing to realize the larger strategic intent that follows.

The Southwest Military and Political Office had already forwarded instructions from the Tianjing Supreme Command. In accordance with the judgment of member Lin Haifeng that a large-scale anti-British uprising would occur in India in May, the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ordered the Southwest Military and Political Office and the Office of the Special Commissioner in Tibet to mobilize a force and take advantage of the great opportunity that the British themselves could not protect to completely solve the Gurkha in the First World War.

Huang Wenjin reached an agreement with the upper echelons of Tibetan politics and religion, and with the full support of the people from all walks of life in Tibet, on June 6, 1857, the Lan Dynasty marched westward. With the cooperation of Zang's army, the Red 30th Army divided into two routes, thinking that they had led the Gurkha people and organized the battles of Karang and Devata to resist the British invasion, but in the end they were forced by the traitors of the Gurkha to take revenge on the former leader of the desperate Beam-Sentapa, to recover a large area of southern land that the Gurkha had been ceded to India due to the military coercion of the British in that year, to eradicate the scum of the Gurkha people, the Rana family, and to rescue King Gilwan Bikram Shah, who had actually been placed under house arrest. Entering Gorkha from Tsongkha and Nyalam at the same time.
