After the two Qing armies surrounded Yangbu, the Gurkha Dynasty was in chaos. www.biquge.info The Gurkhas, who came from the professed warriors, conquered Zumra, Doti, Palpa, Ghawal, Kumaang and other regions successively, and were invincible south of the Himalayas, even if they suddenly invaded Tibet, they also achieved victory. However, the Gurkha people did not expect that a huge empire could have a hundred times more strength than the Gurkhas, and there was also the role of the Tang people, which made the Gurkha completely defeated.

But also in the Gurkha king Lana? Batu Shahr? When the Shah was desperate, Fukangan released several prisoners and sent a message ordering the Gurkha to surrender.

The conditions proposed by Fukangan are roughly as follows: first, to release all the captive and captive Han and Tibetan people and monks of the Qing State in exchange for all the looted goods; Second, hand over the brother of the sixth **** who instigated the Gurkha to send troops, the living Buddha Shamapa and his disciples and comrades; Third, the Gurkha king Rana Badur (Qing translation name), the king of Batur Saye personally came to surrender, since then the Gurkha is a subject state of the Qing Dynasty, regular tribute, the Qing Dynasty sent ministers in Gurkha to supervise the Gurkha government, and the Gurkha royal family sent protons to Beijing; Finally, meet the requirements put forward by Datang.

Obviously, the latter article proposed by the Qing people is quite reluctant, but there is no way to do it. The conditions of the Tang people had already been communicated to the Qing court, and the Tang Dynasty demanded that the Gurkha cede the land that originally occupied the Kingdom of Sikkim, plus the Siliguri Corridor and the area around North Bengal, and merge it into the Tang Dynasty's Donghui Overseas Territory.

Strictly speaking, the Tang Dynasty, which did not send a single soldier in this war, took away the land, but the Qing State did not cut the land. This is a strange phenomenon. However, Fukangan believed that the Qing Dynasty was neither necessary nor suitable for cessing land to Gurkha. Because the Qing Dynasty is not like the Tang Dynasty. With such a convenient border area as Donghui's overseas territory, crossing the Himalayas to rule these southern foothills of the mountainous area may be a very troublesome thing for the Qing state, even if it is Tibet, it is to maintain the local system, and the imperial court does not interfere too much, so the Qing state does not have the ability to completely rule the southern foothills of the mountainous area. Therefore, cutting the soil is of little significance to the Qing State, and it is necessary to make the Gurkha a vassal anyway.

Even though these terms are extremely harsh, they still give the Gurkhas a glimmer of life. The Qing army will be able to attack Yangbu in a blink of an eye, and then in the end, the Gurkha will suffer greater losses, and even destroy the country and the species. To be able to survive is already the luck of the Gurkhas.

So, almost without any negotiation, the Gurkha fully agreed to Fukangan's conditions, and the king Rana and the regent went out of the city to surrender together, and Fukangan had the face of the **** state to maintain. Didn't embarrass them. Fukangan arrived in the capital in November with a Gurkha tribute envoy, and Jiaqing conferred the title of Gurkha king on Rana. The regent is the duke. However, the Qing people were still wary of the Gurkhas, and the newly assembled Southwest Army did not withdraw in Tibet, but was stationed for more than a year. Wu Yijun also withdrew in November and returned to Shanghai by ship from Chittagong. Datang supplemented the troops of two regiments to Donghui overseas and stationed them in Sikkim, Siliguri and other places. Originally, the number of Gurkha people in these areas was small, and the actual conquest of these areas by the Gurkha people was not long. It doesn't have much influence in the area, and now that it has lost these lands, it has little influence here.

However, according to the "Treaty of Darjeeling" signed by the Tang Dynasty and the Gurkhas, not only did the occupied Nepalese land be officially assigned to itself, but also obtained the permission of the Gurkha Kingdom to recruit local soldiers in the Gurkha to serve the Tang Republic. Originally, the Gurkha people were not interested in this clause, they thought that it was the Qing army that really defeated them, not the Tang people, but soon the Gurkha people found that if they did not agree to the terms of the Tang people, the "Qing army" from the south road did not seem to withdraw the army, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army on the south road was obviously more terrible, and the Gurkha king finally had to agree to the conditions of the Tang people.

In fact, this is not a bad method, the reason why the Gurkha is so keen on foreign expansion, on the one hand, there is the relationship between their own nature and bravery, and on the other hand, the high mountains and mountainous areas are narrow and densely populated, coupled with the backward local production level, it is difficult to provide the necessary living materials for the population, in order to be able to maintain a livelihood, so the Gurkha must expand externally. Now the Tang people have recruited some Gurkha people as soldiers, and they are still paid, at least it can be regarded as providing some help to the serious economic and ecological problems of the Gurkhas.

Datang is now addicted to engaging in its own vassal army, and Datang has never expanded its army and marines, while its foreign legion is constantly growing. This is due to the low cost and low cost of the Foreign Legion, and the consequences of casualties are small, and at the same time, the use of the Foreign Legion to deal with the colony is itself a layer of white gloves, and it will not pull too much hatred for the Chinese.

The Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty plans to form a brigade with Gurkha people as a combat force, with a number of between 5,000 and 6,000 people, which, like other foreign regiments, belongs to light infantry.

In addition to the Gurkha Brigade, which has just been formed, Datang now has 9 brigades of the Yamato Corps, with a total number of nearly 50,000 people; 2 brigades of the German Corps, with a scale of 10,000 people; 3 brigades of the Siamese Corps, with a scale of 15,000 people; 2 brigades of the Burmese Corps, with a scale of 10,000 people; two Zhenla regiments, with 3,000 personnel; one Manipur regiment with 1,500 men; one American regiment with 1,500 personnel; one Latin regiment with 1,500 personnel; One Negro regiment with 1,500 personnel.

For example, due to the so-called Ouyu Tiger, as well as the higher status and economic income of local farmers after becoming soldiers, a large number of Japanese ronin and local people enthusiastically joined the army, especially after Datang had a huge overseas territory in Southeast Asia and South Asia to govern, Datang expanded the scale of the Yamato Corps, making its scale larger than the regular army of Datang. These Yamato brigades were stationed in Sunda, Srivijaya, Chenla, Siam, Burma and Donghui, and many even had wives and children in the local area.

The two brigades of the German Corps, which had previously made meritorious contributions to the pacification of Southeast Asia, had been transferred to Guwei and Ou to serve as local defense work. As for the newly formed troops in Siam, Burma, Chenla, and Manipur, they are not much different from the local security forces, and even a considerable number of soldiers are still not out of work, working in overseas state-owned enterprises or plantations, and then training three days a week. This also eases the economic pressure on the Datang Ministry of Defense. In addition to about 15% of the profits and taxes generated by overseas consulates each year, they are directly used for the formation of these corps, and due to Datang's more advanced management and organizational model, the central government of Datang does not need to spend any more money, and even has a slight surplus.
