Section 10 The Situation in Lhasa I

※ "Xiao Zhihui has long wanted to move the British in Lhasa, but Wu Zhongxin is not allowed, the reason after the site is very sufficient, the enthronement ceremony is the most solemn ceremony of Tibetan Buddhism, the Tibetans absolutely cannot tolerate the slightest mistake in this, the British are not in Tibet for a day or two, it doesn't matter if it is two days late, and use these days to investigate, the reality of the Tibetan army, and lay the foundation for the future rectification of the Tibetan army.

The grand enthronement ceremony was held in mid-November, and leading figures from religious circles from all over the world rushed to Lhasa to witness the event. More than 20,000 people of the 24th Army surrounded Lhasa from three directions, and Zhuang Jihua ordered Xiang Chuanyi to organize a support Tibetan army, with a total strength of more than 6,000 troops, and was rushed to Lhasa by Li Gengu, commander of Kangbian Reclamation, who rushed to Lhasa in mid-December, so that Liu Wenhui gathered more than 30,000 troops in Lhasa.

The movement of the Sichuan army was not concealed from the Kashag government, and the regent Rezhen asked Wu Zhongxin and Liu Wenhui for confirmation, and Liu Wenhui told him in no uncertain terms that it was not the army that came, but the road survey team and the escort team. Rezhen left suspiciously.

Wu Zhongxin naturally did not believe it, but Liu Wenhui refused to tell him the truth, and he was worried about the situation in Lhasa, so he sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and asked Chiang Kai-shek to stop Liu Wenhui, who also felt that there was another turmoil in Tibet under the current situation, and dispersed the anti-war forces, so he ordered Liu Wenhui not to stir up trouble in Tibet, and to adopt political means against the Tibetan people, mainly to entrap them.

Liu Wenhui forwarded Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to Zhuang Jihua, who immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, asking for full authority to handle Tibetan affairs, "Tibet is currently holding off pro-central forces and pro-British forces, and our strategy should be to support pro-us forces and strike at pro-British forces, and the main supporters of pro-British forces are in the Tibetan army, and we must disintegrate the current Tibetan army, suppress some of the Tibetan army generals, support the forces that support us, and drive the British out of Tibet." ”

Zhuang Jihua demonstrated the necessity of taking tough measures in Tibet from five aspects, pointing out that as long as Lhasa is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the whole of Tibet, and Liu Wenhui's army must not only continue to enter Tibet, but also continue to go south, enter southern Tibet, and reach the border between Tibet and India, and the other part will go north and station troops at the junction of Tibet and Xinjiang to make preparations for handling Xinjiang affairs in the future.

has no scruples about Zhuang Jihua's power. Chiang Kai-shek thought about it again and again, but he was really not sure, and the Military Commission also demanded caution in this regard, and the Mongolian and Tibetan Commission, an organ specializing in the affairs of ethnic minorities, did not agree to take tough measures at this time

However, while the senior government officials in Wuhan were discussing, Zhuang Jihua secretly telegraphed to Liu Wenhui to take immediate action to first settle the British office and expel all British people in Tibet.

"The Mi division occupied the commanding heights in the north of Lhasa, Cuorigang, and the prisoner division occupied the commanding heights in the east of the city, Gejipo. The wizard is in the center, and the third division is tentatively formed as the army reserve, and all units must complete the deployment before nine o'clock tomorrow. ”

After Wang Jingyu finished speaking, he returned to act, Liu Wenhui calmly looked at the generals present, and then laughed twice before speaking slowly: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just a group of barbarians, it's not seven years of fighting now, we are changing shotguns, and they are restoring their steps." Fighting, Lao Tzu can take Lhasa in two hours, what ** Kasha Living Buddha, Lao Tzu will take them in one pot. ”

Speaking of this, he smugly glanced at the generals present. The generals smiled very cooperatively, Liu Wenhui nodded with satisfaction, stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth, and then slowly spoke: "But." It's just prevention, they don't move, we don't move, we only target the British, understand"

The generals stood up slightly and replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

Seven years ago, in the battle of Kang-Tibet, Liu Wenhui was defeated, but Liu Wenhui did not admit it in his heart, that is, his main force was in a confrontation with Liu Xiang, all the elites were dragged by Liu Xiang, and Xikang only left a few troops that did not enter the stream, and the defeat was a matter of course. But now it is different, in recent years he has bought a lot of equipment from Chongqing, the main force of the 6th Division and the Gangster Division have all been redressed, and all the middle and lower-level officers have gone to Chongqing to receive it.

It must be added here that at the beginning Liu Wenhui was very worried that Zhuang Jihua would mix sand with his troops in the name of Pei Scrap and stuff all the officers who came back from Chongqing into Liu Yuantang's troops, but to his surprise, the combat effectiveness of Liu Yuantang's troops rose sharply, and they fought well in the Battle of Kang and Yunnan, on the contrary, the better equipment, but the Mi Division fought more ugly, which made Liu Wenhui re-examine the scraped officers, and when Zhuang Jihua reorganized the Sichuan army, he increased the number of officers sent to Chongqing to Pei Scrape, and established a military academy in Xikang, Let the officers who have received them serve as instructors, train junior officers and non-commissioned officers, follow Zhuang Jihua's example, give soldiers a kick to smoking, and set up cultural instructors in the company to teach soldiers culture. Over the years, the combat effectiveness of the troops has risen by several steps. If it weren't for the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he would no longer be able to buy equipment from Chongqing, and he would probably have to expand his troops and rekindle his ambition and heart.

Now he is stationed under the city of Lhasa with 30,000 troops, the total strength of the Tibetan army in Tibet is only more than 20,000, and the Tibetan army in Lhasa is only more than 17,000.

More importantly, in Liu Wenhui's view, the westward expedition to Tibet is equivalent to expanding his territory, although Tibet is the territory of Tibetans, but there are also many Tibetans in Xikang, since they can rule Xikang. can still rule Tibet, so in my heart I am willing to obey Zhuang Jihua's orders, expel the British, and rectify the Tibetan army.

In order not to provoke the Kashag government, Liu Wenhui did not send troops to Lhasa, all troops were deployed outside the city, and the most dangerous commanding height in Lhasa was the Potala Palace, but neither the 24th Army nor the Tibetan Army dared to enter and occupy here.

The regent is the title of the Han people for the official title of Rezhen, but the title of the Tibetans is the regent Rezhen Living Buddha, like other living Buddhas in Tibet, the Living Buddha of Rezhen is the living Buddha of Rezhen Temple, Rezhen Temple is more than 200 kilometers north of Lhasa, this temple is more transcendent in Tibetan Buddhism, its temple has almost all the Tibetan Buddhist classics, and now the popular founder of the Yellow Sect Master Zongkupa, he has two disciples, ** and the Panchen Lama is developed in the theory of the Gadang sect, and the Rezhen Temple is the first monastery of the Gadang sectIt's just that after the popularity of the Yellow Religion, the Rezhen Temple also changed to the Yellow Religion, and it seems that religion is also aware of current affairs.

After receiving the news after the dawn of the day, the Kalun Ranpa Tuden Gongchen of the Kashag government hurriedly came to report that the Han army had surrounded the British office and arrested all the British in the office, and the Han army also posted a notice on the streets of Lhasa, ordering all British to report to the Han army headquarters outside the city within three days.

"Living Buddha, what is Han Jun doing? The British are our friends, and if we fail to protect our friends, disaster will come down from heaven. Tuden Gongqin was a little flustered, he thought that the Han army was targeting the Lhasa government, but he didn't expect that they were actually targeting the British, which made him confused.

Re Zhen's eyes were slightly closed and he pinched the Buddha beads, as a regent, he was still relatively clear about the current situation in Tibet, the Han army's large-scale entry into Tibet was ostensibly a reaction to the conflict some time ago, but in fact it was a counterattack by the central government against the increasingly active British, it seems that the central government no longer sits idly by and watches the British incite the West ** Li, which is.

"Heaven will not punish us," Re Zhen opened his eyes and said slowly: "The Han people are also our friends, and they are also our government

Ketu Deng Gongchen didn't expect Rezhen to be in no hurry, so he changed his tone and said: "Living Buddha, the British are here to watch the ceremony, they are our guests, and we Tibetans cannot allow guests to be insulted.

Before Rezhen could speak, the chief Kalun monk Danpa Zhenyang and the chief Silun Langdun Gongga Wangchuk, as well as Kalun Ping Cidan Dorjee and Kalun Pengkang Tashi Dorjee also came together.

The "regent" took out a document the next day: "This is a report from General Liu Wenhui, commander of the Han army

"Briefing?" Rezhen raised his eyes expressionlessly to look at Jidan Dorjee, and said quietly: "You read it for everyone." ”

The next day, Dorjee opened the document and read: "Regent Rezhen and Langton Selun, the Kashag government, and the British office in Lhasa were illegally established, and the successive central governments of China have never recognized it. Lieutenant General Liu Wenhui, commander of the 24th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and deputy director of the Xikang Xing Battalion.

Gongga Wangqiu's already gloomy face flashed with a layer of black light, and he angrily humbled in front of Jidan Dorjee, grabbed the document, and tore it to pieces in two clicks.

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! Turning to face Rezhen, he shouted: "We Tibetans have never been bullied by people, mobilize our warriors, and we Tibetans will never accept such humiliation."

Gongga Wangchuk's self-confidence is justified, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Tibetan army and the Sichuan army have two confrontations before and after, two victories, the first of which is the Yuan Shikai period "nearly 10,000 troops stationed in Lhasa, the Tibetan army with the support of the British and the "army confrontation, Tibetans from all over the country have gone to help, the Tibetans in the rear cut off the supply line of the Sichuan army, the British ambassador protested to Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai was forced to order the Dian army and the Gan army that were preparing to reinforce the army to stop advancing, which eventually led to the Sichuan army in Lhasa alone, ammunition, food and grass difficult to continue, retreat from Lhasa, After fighting hard along the way, less than half of them returned to Sichuan.

I started cleaning the network again, and I didn't clean it myself, alas
