The reason why Tibet has the current state of calm is the relationship between Zhao Erfeng, and another point, that is, the relationship between the two armies of the Liaodong Army stationed in the northwest region of Tibet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the Tibetan unrest was suppressed, the two armies did not withdraw from Tibet, but stayed there to defend the northwestern border of Tibet.

Hey, the imperial court is becoming more and more unreliable, just now, Zhao Erfeng heard a very bad news, the military salary that should have been given to the Tibetan troops was once again in arrears, if it continues like this, even if his own ability is strong, it will inevitably cause a mutiny.

Zhao Erfeng, who closed the window depressed, came to light the stove, and he was ready to write to the court again, asking for military pay to arrive early.

With a creak, the closed door was opened, and Zhao Erfeng looked up, and the person who came was his deputy general Tashi.

Tashi is a Tibetan, but he is a qualified general, and in the suppression of Tibet, he was the first to enter Tibet, enter the Potala Palace, and wipe out the rebel leaders who have not had time to escape.

"Tashi, what's the matter?" Wait until Tashi is in front of the aisle. Zhao Erfeng raised his head and asked.

"My lord, you can take a look at this first." Tashi's face was a little heavy, and after saying this, he put the things in his hand on the table. “

What's going on? Picking up the letter above, Zhao Erfeng took a look at it, and it was actually sent by Zhang Zhidong.

After opening it and taking a look, Zhao Erfeng's face began to change, and he began to feel cold,

On this is a letter from Zhang Zhidong to Zhao Erfeng, which has already stated that the imperial court is ready to cede Tibet to India.

Syllable....... Zhao Erfeng, who had read the letter, slapped the letter on the table, and then said with a blue face: "Giving Tibet to the Indians is simply destroying my Chinese civilization for thousands of years. ”

"My lord, what now. If Tibet is handed over to India, then the British army will enter Tibet. Since then, Yunnan. Xinjiang and the southwest region are not at all barriers. Tashi on the side said excitedly, he was also very opposed to this matter in his heart.

"Once Tibet is divided into the imperial court, Lao Tzu will lead a large army and fight a bloody battle with the British."

Bloody, Tashi nodded when he heard this. Then he said: "My lord, the problem of the arms of our various armies? ”

This is a big problem, after the turmoil in Tibet. There are not many guns left in the army of their own troops, and now, a big war is imminent, if the troops run out of bullets, when the time comes, it will be a huge defeat.

"You go down first, I'll think about it." Zhao Erfeng, waving his hand, motioned for Tashi to go down.

"What's the matter, are you trying to say something?" Seeing that Tashi did not leave, Zhao Erfeng raised his head and asked suspiciously.

Tashi does have certain ideas, and on the issue of arms, he actually has a candidate, but now he has a hostile relationship with the imperial court.

"My lord, see if you can discuss it with Liaodong."

Liaodong? Zhao Erfeng, who heard this, thought about it carefully, indeed, if you want to get arms, then really go to them.

"There you go. I know what to do. After speaking, Zhao Erfeng saw Tashi walk out, and then took out the paper from his drawer and prepared to write.

Urumqi, Xinjiang, Northwest Military and Political Building. After the Liaodong Army occupied Xinjiang, the military and political officials of the entire Qinghai, Xinjiang and Ningxia regions were assembled in Urumqi.

The military and political commander of the Northwest, Wu Peifu, is standing in front of the map at the moment, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and constantly patrolling back and forth on the map.

Since the pacification of Xinjiang. The burden on Wu Peifu's body suddenly became much easier. However, this relaxed moment did not last much, and since the day before yesterday, Wu Peifu felt that the clouds of war had reappeared in the sky.

At noon the day before yesterday, he suddenly received an order from Baoji, that is, to let the two armies under his command in Korla, Xinjiang, move to Tibet, and at the same time, let the two armies already in Tibet immediately prepare for first-class combat.

These two orders made Wu Peifu feel that maybe the war would start on the Tibetan side, and then sweep through the entire area controlled by the imperial court.

"What? Are you still thinking? The deputy commander on the side, Chang Geng, walked over and said.

Chang Gung was originally a general of Ili. After taking refuge in Liaodong, he made contributions to the Xinjiang region to fight against Tsarist Russia and assist in Xinjiang's stability. Therefore, Liu Jun specially appointed him as Wu Peifu's deputy, after all, Wu Peifu is still younger than him, and sometimes, he needs a calm person by his side, and Chang Geng is a good candidate.

"Hey, the commander suddenly ordered us to prepare for battle, I have some uncertainty in my heart, I want to see if there is any flaw in our deployment." After speaking, Wu Peifu looked at Chang Geng after returning to his position: "You are old today." ”

"Oh, look at this, the telegram sent to you by Zhao Erfeng, the minister in Tibet."

My telegram, Wu Peifu, who was puzzled for a moment, took the telegram from Chang Geng's hand and looked at it.

Request weapon support. “

Just kidding, I'm going to beat you soon, you still need weapons, how is this possible, Wu Peifu, who snorted coldly, put the telegram in his hand on the table and looked at Chang Geng in front of him: "His head is not confused." When did this happen, I thought it was when he asked for weapons and we gave weapons and we gave food when he asked for food. ”

Having said that, Chang Geng was also listening attentively, and after Wu Peifu finished speaking, Chang Geng smiled and then said: "Commander, do you think that Da Shuai let us prepare to march into Tibet for him Zhao Erfeng?" ”

This is interesting, hearing Chang Geng say this, Wu Peifu stood up suddenly, if things are really what Chang Geng said, then he entered Tibet, it was not for Zhao Erfeng, but for the British in India.

The British, they have long wanted to compete with them, over the years, Ding Ruchang, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and several people, all of them are fighting with Tsarist Russia and the Japanese, only himself and Wang Shizhen have always been more serious with the imperial court. This kind of thing makes Wu Peifu very unhappy.

"All commanders, in my opinion, still convey the situation here, especially Zhao Erfeng's requirements, to Baoji, after all, where the marshal is, he will definitely decide."

Yes, yes, Wu Peifu, who nodded, thought so, and then handed the telegram to Chang Geng: "You go and handle it." (To be continued.) )
