(2nd Update)

Even if a butterfly flapps its wings, it can still roll up a lot of storms thousands of miles away, not to mention a quasi-war with casualties and bloodshed, the news of Zhao Erfeng's pacification of Tibet is like having wings, blowing a storm of public opinion at home and abroad, and the most jumpy of them are the British. Taking advantage of Dalai's escape to India, they can stab China in the back, first inviting Dalai to visit Tibet in the name of the East Asian Buddhist Society, and then coming forward to help Dalai set up an exile group.

At the same time, the British ambassador to China, Zhu Erdian, did not stop, and after the incident, he sent many notes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expressing concern about the Tibet issue, and even verbally protesting during the incident, not only selectively turning blind to the Dalai's rebellion, but also talking about religious oppression and Sino-Tibetan inequality, and vividly treating the Dalai Lama as a golden signboard for inciting ethnic antagonism.

In the face of both domestic and foreign situations, how to deal with the Tibet issue has become a thorny problem, especially when Zhao Erfeng has pacified Lhasa and the initiative is in the hands of the central government.

This is why Zaifeng hurriedly summoned Ye Kai into the palace, of course, for Ye Kai, this is also something he must solve as soon as possible, Tibet is a time bomb, once detonated, not only in this corner of Tibet, but also in the entire border area, the centrifugal force will suddenly intensify, and the side effects may last for a long time, throughout the history of the world, are there few such examples?

Therefore, Ye Kai didn't dare to relax his vigilance, stepped up his steps, and walked towards the palace.

There is a light in the military aircraft department, today is Dai Hongci on duty, and there are many Zhang Jing and pen posts around him, of course, these people are not as good as the lord opposite Dai Hongci, the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

Tonight, Zaifeng got Zhao Erfeng's military emergency call here, and after knowing the ins and outs of the whole matter, he naturally understood that this matter was not trivial, and a little improper handling would cause huge trouble, so he hurriedly called Ye Kai to discuss.

"Regent, Liangbi is here." The eunuch crept in, and Zaifeng had been waiting for a long time.

"Call him in." Zaifeng urged.

The eunuch pushed them out, and after a while they returned.

"Liangbi said that the Military Aircraft Department had previously ordered that non-military aircraft ministers were not allowed to enter, and he did not dare to disobey it." The eunuch said helplessly.

"When is this going on, I still care about this." Zaifeng was anxious and knocked on the table, "You tell him that this king let him in." ”

"Piercing!"

The reason why Ye Kai didn't come in was that he remained cautious, the military aircraft board room has always been the hub of the government, and only the minister of military aircraft is still qualified to enter, no matter how special Ye Kai's status is, this rule still has to be followed, but fortunately, there is Zaifeng's order, and he didn't insist on it the second time, and pushed the door in.

"Liangbi knocks to the regent."

"Excuse me, take a seat."

Ye Kai sat down but was not steady, Zaifeng and Dai Hongci both had serious expressions, faintly revealing a tense atmosphere, and without waiting for him to ask, Zaifeng preemptively said.

"Liangbi, look at this." Zaifeng handed the telegram in his hand to Ye Kai, and mentioned it succinctly, "Tibet rebelled, and Zhao Erfeng, the minister of Sichuan and Yunnan, was ordered to pacify, and the **** army was defeated first, and he fled to India. ”

"Lord Zhao is really a noble soldier, and the capture of Lhasa is equivalent to holding the throat of Tibet, presumably it will not take a few days for all the rebels to be wiped out."

After a while, Ye Kai put down the telegram in his hand, and he had already read the contents of it in detail.

"When the Dalai Lama arrives in India, it is equivalent to falling into the hands of the British, and I am afraid that sooner or later it will be the bane." Ye Kai went on to say that it is good that the Dalai Lama is dead, but if he does not die, he may become a puppet in the hands of the British, controlling the already precarious situation in Tibet.

Ye Kai's prediction was also worrying, "What you said is that the British ambassador sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, saying that only when Zhao Erfeng withdraws his troops and the Dalai Lama returns to Tibet can Tibet keep peace. ”

"Foreigners have always feared that the world would not be chaotic, and the regent should not pay attention to them." Ye Kai replied, whether it is Britain or Russia, a group of robbers are just a group of robbers, and they like to take advantage of the chaos to rob houses and houses.

"The British have been coveting our Tibet for a long time, will they take the opportunity to send troops to invade again?"

The British intervened, this is what Zaifeng is most worried about, although the British Empire has entered the twilight, but in the end it is still an old power, especially since 1904, the battle for Lhasa around the Chinese side has been defeated repeatedly, and British India is precisely the base camp of the British army, with strong troops, and the supply line also has a great advantage, and can gather more than 50,000 troops in a short period of time, so the disparity is that the Qing Dynasty has the ability to fight with him again?

"The regent doesn't have to worry, according to the minister, Britain will not dare to invade Tibet for the time being."

"Why?" Ye Kai's oath made Zaifeng a little incomprehensible.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Kai gave his explanation, "The reason why Britain attacked Tibet was not to annex Tibet, but to prevent Tsarist Russia, long before Xinjiang was established as a province, Tsarist Russia had already invaded Tibet, and for the British, once Russia controlled Tibet, then the British would face the British India under its control, which was the most intolerable to the British, so what they wanted to do most was to turn Tibet into a buffer country, and it was best not to think of anyone's forces to come in. Britain has agreed not to occupy Tibetan territory and not to interfere in all politics in Tibet, and China has also promised not to allow other foreign countries to interfere in Tibetan territory and all politics." Now that the British have achieved their goal of guarding against the Russians, they will not invade Tibet on a large scale for a while. ”

Tibet, as a bridge connecting East Asia and South Asia, has a unique location, and from ******** point of view, Ye Kai gave a reason why the British would not take the opportunity to invade Tibet.

"Regent, in the opinion of the minister, the first thing we should consider is not to guard against the British, but to stabilize the situation in Tibet as soon as possible, as soon as the **** leaves, those monks who follow him will inevitably wave their flags and shout for it, and the Tusi in various places will also take advantage of the situation to cause chaos, Zhao Erfeng can capture Lhasa for a while, and he can still occupy a lifetime, when the time comes, when the army withdraws, Tibet may be in turmoil again."

Ye Kai said slowly, as long as the seeds of rebellion are still buried deep in the ground, even if the stems and leaves are bulldozed, they will grow again, Zaifeng nodded and agreed.

"Look at this telegram again."

Zaifeng took out another telegram, which was also sent by Zhao Erfeng to the central government.

Ye Kai took it, and as soon as he glanced at it a few times, his face suddenly became very exciting.

Zhao Erfeng, Zhao Erfeng, is not only a butcher who can kill, but also an out-and-out ruthless character. (To be continued.) )
