Lambir Singh left Srinagar, took a few of his henchmen in disguise, and fled to Jammu in a hurry, only one step ahead of the luck, and finally escaped the hands of the fierce soldiers and horses of Dingbang Mima, who was the first to attack Srinagar.

But at this point, Shi Yukun's men and horses still seem to be unsatisfied.

Ranbir Singh, who ran to Jammu, finally understood that if he could not meet the conditions of the Chinese, Jammu would not be his place for long. Repay! You have to pay for smashing the pot and selling iron! So, after a lot of twists and turns, a luxurious compensation letter finally stopped the endless "entanglement" of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Ranbier-Singh followed the Chinese practice of "bearing the guilt of Jing and pleading", and entered Shi Yukun's camp with the compensation letter in both hands.

With a snot and tears in his eyes, Ranbir Singh told the Celestial Empire generals such as Shi Yukun and Ding Bengmima that he was willing to give up the Kashmir region that his father had forcibly occupied, and sincerely repented of the crimes committed by Jammu in the Tibetan region of the Celestial Empire over the years. At the same time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government will be paid various war indemnities totaling 10,000 taels of silver, with an interest of 10%, in 20 years. The first batch of 10,000,000 taels of indemnity will be given in cash and discounts on various items, and it will be given in a centralized manner within 60 days. From then on, future generations will never be enemies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

Shi Yukun smiled, he had been "aggrieved" in Sichuan for nearly two years, and today he not only killed him happily, but also got back the first huge amount of compensation from the outside in history for his suffering nation.

Along with the terms of the armistice submitted by Jammu, Shi Yukun also attached a copy of the report to the Supreme Command in Tianjing. According to the request of the Tibetan compatriots, he established the government of the Celestial Dynasty to put Kashmir under the unified jurisdiction of the Ladakh region, and at the same time abolished the name of Kashmir, and renamed the former capital of Kashmir, Srinagar, as "Jigme Tsewangban City", to commemorate the "Battle of Duoyu" in which Ali led reinforcements, crossed mountains and mountains, and rushed to the front line day and night. Jigme Tsewang Panjue was one of the direct commanders and participants in the Samba War. He was the eagle of the snowy plateau and the pride of the Tibetan nation and even the entire Chinese nation.

When the Red 30th Army on the southern front was advancing westward without stopping, the Gurkhatic soldiers and horses had already taken advantage of the two advance strongholds of Nyalam and Tsongkha Dzong. Strike with both fists. With the support of the troops and horses on the left flank that had departed from Tsongkha Dzong and marched eastward along the Brahmaputra River, the Gurkha army assembled at Nyalam launched a powerful offensive against the Tibetan army camp at Tongla Mountain. The Gurkhas, who had received information from their British masters, had received information that the Tibetans were asking for reinforcements from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government in Chengdu, and of course, they also knew that the Taiping Southwest Military and Political Office was still ambiguous about this. Not only that, but they also confirmed all the information from the informers sent by the former Manchu minister to Tibet, Hethe, who had a bitter hatred for the Taiping regime because of the collapse of the country.

The Gurkha army dispatched by Nyalam was as high as 5,000, while the Tibetan army defending the Tongla Mountain was only 2,000 men. In terms of weapons. The Gurkha soldiers were more dominant, and they were armed with foreign guns and cannons provided by British backers, while the weapons used by the Tibetan army were very primitive and rudimentary. With the exception of a few Mongol and Tibetan cannons, most of the soldiers used arquebuses, broadswords, and even clubs. What's more, the Gurkha army, which was rapidly advancing eastward in the north, had already pointed directly at Latse, and the rear road of the Tongla Mountain defense line was likely to be cut off, causing the defenders to panic. What is even more unfavorable is that every military deployment of the defense line of the Tongla Mountains has already been completely leaked to the Gurkhas. Under such circumstances, in the face of the Gurkha furious attack, the defending Tibetan army was quickly overwhelmed. The defense line of Mount Tongla was lost.

After gaining the momentum, the prestige of the Gurkha army was more and more vigorous, and the offensive became more and more crazy, and the places of Jiacuo, Sakya, and Latse fell one after another. According to the information given to them by Hethe, Shigatse, the capital of post-Tibet and the place where the Panchen lamas of all dynasties were stationed, had long since lost much of the strength that could be used to resist them, except for the stragglers of the Tibetan army who had dispersed in various places. Taking Shigatse and taking Lasa (Lhasa) ahead of the Jammu army in the north was just around the corner. At that time, even if the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had woken up and intervened in Tibet, they had no choice but to sigh with admiration.

Sadly, it is here that these are said to be taciturn, but when they lose their temper, they erupt like volcanoes. There is "instead of living cowardly." It is better to die like this" to survive the creed, and to serve their English masters with infinite loyalty. Proud and proud of being hailed as "scimitar warriors" by their masters, the Gurkha soldiers finally understood what true warriors were.

In order to defend its "pure holy city" and the dignity of the nation, under the leadership of the monks of Tashilhunpo Monastery, all the monks, laymen, men and women, young and old, under the fierce artillery fire and raindrops of sharp bullets from the Gurkha army, poured into the city with all kinds of primitive weapons and fought to the death against the crazy beasts.

This bloody battle of disparity in strength lasted until the third day. The military, civilian, and monk people in Shigatse paid an extremely cruel price. But. The ancient and holy land of Shigatse has begun to crumble.

An alarming alarm was transmitted to Lasa. Spread to the Red Army of the Earth Celestial Empire, which was marching hard. I learned that the ground ahead was extremely dangerous. The forced march continued for three days without stopping. Completely exhausted, the vanguard of the Red Thirty Army. Just when the city wall of Shigatse was about to be breached by the Gurkha army. The divine soldier suddenly appeared in front of the Gurkha soldiers like a descending from the sky. The sound of the trumpet sounded on the snowy plateau. Brightly red under the battle flag. Rows of Red Army soldiers with bloodshot eyes. In the hoarse cry of "for the sake of the Celestial Empire". Pounced into the arrogant Gurkha formation.

Every Tibetan soldier and civilian who sticks to the head of the city of Shigatse. They all witnessed this ferocious fight. They see. Bursts of thunder kicked up billowing smoke. In the midst of a row of gunshots like bursting beans. Hundreds of Red Stars on their heads and cold light stabbed the Red Army soldiers of the Celestial Empire. In the midst of the trumpets and shouts to the sky. Under the guidance of one battle flag after another. Like a sharp blade. Relentlessly cutting through the Gurkha land array......

"It's an extremely tough fight!" A veteran who participated in the bloody battle under the city of Shigatse. When I recall the time of the year. There was also a strange expression on his face. It was an expression of immense pride and infinite regret, sadness, and so on.

"Although our whole army has been trained on the plateau for more than a year. But after entering Tibet. The same is the further you go. The more uncomfortable it became. Under the soles of his feet, it was like stepping on piles of cotton. Cracked lips. Scabby. Break again. My head hurts like an axe is chopping. It was like a boulder pressed on his chest, and he couldn't move it even if he wanted to. Three days and days forced the march. In fact, we have only walked more than 200 miles. If you put it in your hometown Jiangnan. We don't have to run all day and night to get there. Alas...... When our pioneer battalion departed from Yazhou, it was fully staffed with more than 500 people. Even though the march was so hard. But I walked all the way. None of them have been left behind. It's just for Shigatse...... Three days...... What kind of three days is this...... All the way into the ranks. Every now and then, someone will suddenly fall without saying a word. But we can't help them. Because we have to keep running. Wait until we attack the damned Gurkha under the city of Shigatse. You can really go to the ground with a gun. There are only more than three hundred left. ”

"Seriously. When I rode the Tibetan compatriots and prepared a sheepskin raft on the ground. When I finally climbed to the other side of the river from the Nianchu River. I doubt it. Do I still have the strength to pick up a gun? It's weird to say. One of them went ashore and shook his legs. I just want to go down and never get up. When you smell the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield. When I saw the demons who slaughtered their fellow citizens. I don't know where the divine power suddenly came from all over my body. For the Celestial Empire. Advance! Usually shouting can knock the roof off the battalion commander. When you stumble up to the ground in the face of the enemy first. He must have used all his strength to shout. Honestly. I was only five or six steps away from the battalion commander. It's just barely enough to hear it. Maybe...... Maybe I didn't really hear it at all. It's just a feeling. In fact. In that case. It's not very important to be able to hear clearly. Importantly, all the brothers who went ashore alive. I already had the same cry in my heart. ”

"Later, some people always said that our 300 or so people were tired and home. The reason why the Gurkha were able to put dozens of times their own. Firmly pinned down for a whole day, spreading out for the two flanks of the main force that arrived later. And the enemy was gathered and annihilated, and the favorable conditions were created, all because our weapons were superior to those of the Gurkhas. This is a big mistake, we do have a slight advantage over the Gurkhas, and in addition to the rifles, we have a weapon that they do not have, and that is grenades. But it is hard for those who have not personally experienced that battle to imagine, we are so tired that every step is difficult, there are grenades, but who dares to throw them? Hehe, some people said that it was vivid, saying that our bombs were like hail and fell on the crowd of the Gurkhas, and thousands of Gurkha people suddenly turned into pulp, which scared the Gurkha people stupid one by one. ”

"It's true that the Gurkha were scared stupid, but definitely not because they were bombed by us. We had only five grenadiers, and after two salvos we had already plunged into the enemy group, where did the overwhelming artillery fire come from. The Gurkhas were overwhelmed by our momentum. According to the information they have received, we should now be at least ten days away from Lhasa, let alone go back to Shigatse. The commanders of the Gurkhas, who were later captured, also admitted that in their plan of action, until the expected capture of Lasa, they did not take our storage into account at all, so they did not even put a single guard on the banks of the Nianchu River. But we suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, can they not be stupid? ”

"I have to say that the Gurkhas are indeed tough. In the initial chaos, we took advantage of it. And when they realized that we were only a small force of a few hundred men, their wildness immediately burst out. Fearing that the evacuation into the city would bring greater danger to Shigatse, the battalion commander, who had already hung up the flowers, rejected the goodwill of the Tibetan compatriots in the city at that time, and sent only one messenger into the wide open city gate, and then led us to turn around and break through the Gurkha position again, and pounce on a high ground behind them. This hand of the battalion commander turned out to be a really excellent and superior act. The Gurkhas, who had been disrupted by us and were regrouping to fight back against us, obviously did not expect that we would have such a hand regardless of life and death, and the high ground was quickly occupied by us, and the dozens of Gurkha who had not been able to flee from the high ground all became our guns. ”

"At this moment, we seemed to have a hornet's nest, and all the Gurkha people around Shigatse surrounded us with red eyes......"
