Prime Minister Chandra of Nepal. Shamshell. Rana meets King Barrisvi. Bill. Bikram. Shah didn't speak, he was very angry, and in front of his ministers, he pointed to the huge portraits of the Shah monarchs hanging on the wall and rebuked him: "Your Majesty, you have something to say, the great enemy is present, and our previous kings have not been as silent as you." **”

Barrisville. Bill. Bikram. Only then did Shah open his eyes and whisper to Chandra: "The prime minister has always been in charge of national affairs. If you say war, just fight. ”

At this time, the king's elder brother, Prince Bariswi of Nepal. Kerry. Bikram. Shah stood up and objected, saying: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you can't fight, the Chinese have always been difficult to mess with." Historically, in the heyday of our dynasty, we occupied a large area of northern India, but we were unable to take a step forward to the north. Most of the time, we were ruled by Tibetans or vassal to the Central Plains. Even the Qing government army was able to easily capture the capital Kathmandu and slaughter the city for three days. I heard that the British were defeated in **, Bhutan, Sikkim. If we take the side of the British again this time, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe of extermination! ”

As soon as these words came out, several of the ministers who were bold began to second, and Prime Minister Chandra, who has always been pro-British, was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Prince Barrisway. Kerry. Bikram. Shah scolded: "We now have Gurkha soldiers, what are we afraid of? At the moment of the great enemy, you dare to grow the prestige of others, come to someone, drag it out! ”

At this time, two Gurkha soldiers walked outside the door, they were not very tall. But he was very strong, and the Gurkha saber in his hand dragged the Nepalese prince out of the main hall. The ministers immediately stopped talking.

Prime Minister Chandra is in Nepal with a military regime. The main thing is to rely on these Gurkha soldiers.

Gorkha is a district in west-central Nepal that was also the birthplace of the Shah dynasty. The Gurkha soldiers first referred to Nepalese soldiers from the region, they were short in stature, but brave and good at fighting, they had a characteristic, that is, they were not afraid of death, and a British marshal of the local army commented on the Gurkha hired soldiers: "If a person says he is not afraid of death." Either he is lying, or he is a Gurkha soldier. ”

Beginning in the late 18th century, the British gradually pushed colonial wars from India to the small landlocked country of Nepal. 1813-1815. The 30,000 Anglo-Indian troops, armed with cannons and guns, fought a bloody battle for two years with 12,000 Gurkha soldiers who had no modern weapons at all, and they failed to completely conquer them, which shows their combat effectiveness.

Due to the bravery and good fighting of the Gurkha soldiers. Nepal was saved from becoming a British colony. A British soldier who fought in the Gurkha War wrote in his diary: "I have never seen such a calm and courageous opponent in my life. They never ran away, never feared death, even when the bodies of their comrades were piled up around them. ”

However, in the end, the Nepalese government humiliated and sued for peace, and the British and Nepal signed the Treaty of Segre, and Nepal lost one-third of its territory. In a dramatic scene, the British government, impressed by the Gurkha soldiers, made it clear in the Treaty of Segri that the Nepalese government provide Gurkha youths to serve the British army.

In 1885, the first Gurkha soldiers went to India. Became part of the British Indian Army until 1908. The British-trained Gurkha mercenaries had 3 Gurkha rifle battalions of about 600 men and were the elite of the Gurkha servicemen. Every year in the foothills of the western Himalayas, a strange scene unfolds near the fast-flowing Kaligandeg River: about 10,000 Nepalese men between the ages of 17 and 22 are stripped of their underwear and lined up for a medical examination before being selected to join the British Gurkha mercenaries after a three-month "knockout round".

With an average height of only 1.6 meters, the Gurkha mercenaries are deeply loved by the British royal family and often participate in their military parades and commemorative events. One of the oldest Gurkha battalions in the British army also has a proud two-meter-long bronze "Queen's Staff". It was awarded to the battalion by the Queen of England in 1863 in lieu of the Battle Hero Medal.

The Kingdom of Nepal itself has trained about 10,000 Gurkha soldiers, mainly under the command of Prime Minister Chandra. These Gurkha soldiers generally wore the standard British Army uniform, with a green canvas strap used to carry the famous Cookley scimitar.

The Kukli saber became famous for its use, the Gurkha mercenaries who believed only in the words "battle" and "death in battle". 80% of Nepal is mountainous, and the Gurkha people have walked on bumpy mountain roads since childhood, and have developed a pair of "iron feet". They have a strong personality and a strong body, and they are good at mountain warfare and close combat. They especially like to wear the "Cookley Scimitar", which is extremely sharp. It is said that this scimitar must see blood as soon as it is drawn. The average adult man in Nepal can cut off the head of a buffalo with a single sword. If you can't cut off the head of a bull with a knife, you can't be seen as a man. Originally used to cut grass, open roads, and protect one's body, this knife was later introduced into the army and became an essential weapon for carrying around.

The ancient Gurkha saber is generally 73cm long, the blade length is 55cm, the back of the knife is 1cm wide, handmade, the thick leather scabbard, the bone handle, the handle, the blade, the back, and the scabbard all have Nepalese local ethnic patterns, and the whole knife is very weighty in the hand. Although the blade is thick, the edge is very sharp, the stroke can be broken, it is easy to dance, and it is a large piece of meat when it is chopped. Because the Gurkha people were known for their bravery, and because of the broad-headed scimitars they used, which could cut off a human head in one fell swoop, a special atmosphere often hung around them. Their creed also contributed to this atmosphere of terror - "Fight or die!" ”

So Chandra was confident that even if the British army fled, he thought that his 10,000 Gurkha soldiers would be able to withstand Cai's army. Unfortunately, Cai's army was overwhelmed all the way, and soon reached Depatan, 3 kilometers from Kathmandu, also known as "Lelitpur", which is the second largest city in Nepal, and the capital Kathmandu is across the Bagmati River.

In fact, as soon as the squadron entered the mountainous area of Nepal, it was attacked by the Gurkha army, and the Gurkha people took advantage of the complex terrain to sneak attack the squadron. The squadron also lost a lot of people at the beginning, but Cai Ye quickly figured out the details of these Gurkha troops and ordered long-range shooting. Although the Gurkha army is brave. But their weapons were too backward, basically some flintlock guns, only a few rifles and old cannons. It was quickly routed by the squadron, losing more than four thousand men, and the others withdrew to defend the capital. The squadron attacked Patan in a week!

Patan, the capital of the Kingdom of Patan, one of the three small states of the Mara dynasty in Nepal at the end of the 15th century, lasted for 270 years. Standing in a high-rise building on the edge of Patandura Square, Cai felt as if he had returned to the Middle Ages. Patandura Square is rectangular in shape and has a compact layout, with the ancient royal palace to the east. The temple of the goddess Tareju, the Golden Temple, and the west side are temples of different shapes, the most famous are the Black Sky Temple, the Black Sky Temple, the Harisanka Temple, the Vishnu Temple, etc., all of which are Hindu temples. Under the firmament. Elegant red temples. Scattered in a patchwork across the square, the gorgeous gilded roofs glittering in the sun, and even the air was filled with the smell of antiquity, and a flock of white pigeons, hovering above the temple, finally landed on the roofs, hooked under the heavy eaves, and the wind chimes jingled. The morning fog is thick in the mountains. In the narrow alleys, sacred cows and stray dogs roam aimlessly. The women who got up early to draw water are still the same. If it weren't for the fact that across the Bagmati River, many Gurkha soldiers were sentry with guns on their backs, he might have forgotten that there was still war.

The two Ye Mengxin brothers stood behind Cai Yi. Ye Mengxin asked Cai Ye with admiration: "General, people say that the Gurkha soldiers are brave, why aren't your troops afraid at all?" ”…

"Afraid? You'll lose first. Cai laughed and said, "Never be fooled by legends, you will become legends." Historically, all the Nepalese fought with the Central Plains and ended in failure, so in fact, the Gurkhas are most afraid of the Chinese! ”

At this time, his younger brother Ye Mengsheng asked: "Then, is the Cookley saber just a legend?" ”。

Cai said: "I have seen the Cook Saber before, it is just a very ordinary and slightly curved knife, which is very common in the hands of ethnic minorities in the southwest of our country. The Gurkha are dull in battle, inflexible, and wooden-minded, I think this is the reason why the British army likes to hire them, that is, they are obedient and can be cannon fodder! Now in the war, who is stupid enough to fight with them, are they still the monkeys of the Iron Age? I heard from the commander of his subordinates that a company of Nepalese Gurkha battalions with guns rushed in front of a platoon of soldiers of our army, and the first action they made was to put on their bayonets, and then when they put on their bayonets, they were suddenly eliminated by our machine gunners! ”

Ye Mengxin also laughed and said: "It's no problem for my heavenly soldiers to fight the British, these Gurkha people are looking for death!" ”

Cai said: "An army, to win a war, depends on a strong will to fight, the important thing is the soul of the army, we are all fighting for the motherland." These Gurkha joined the army just to earn a salary. These mercenaries will only be beaten passively when they encounter our regular army! ”

Ye Mengxin said: "That's true. When is the general going to attack Kathmandu? ”

"I'm not going to storm Kathmandu. That's why I've called you brothers to see me today. I am going to send you as my envoy to persuade the king of Nepal to surrender. I don't want Kathmandu, the ancient capital, to be destroyed by war! ”

Ye Mengxin said: "The general is merciful, the general is virtuous, and the Nepalese people must be willing to surrender." Everyone in Nepal has a god in their hearts, whether it is Hindu or Buddhist, and it seems that people who are blessed by God are happy, and this country is no different. ”

"I just went to see the Golden Temple, which is said to have been built by King Patan in the 12th century. Although it is not cast with gold, it is indeed a copper wall and iron wall, the shrine is enshrined in the gilded statue of Sakyamuni Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, the center of the inner courtyard is still a small and delicate temple, the copper bell-shaped golden top decorated with gorgeous decoration is very dazzling, there is a green snake hanging down from the top on all sides, as if receiving prayers, the goddess in the courtyard, the elephant, the lion, the monkey, the unknown beast and other mascots are readily available, the surface is plated with copper, flashing with yellow light. I was very touched. Although I don't believe in religion, wherever there is civilization in the world, there is religion. I know that as a civilized person, you can disbelieve yourself, but you have to respect others. Recently, Britain has created a lot of public opinion in the international community, saying that we Chinese will destroy the Buddhist holy sites in Nepal, and we will refute them with actions. ”

Early in the morning, the two brothers crossed the river to the palace of Narayanhiti. Shamshell. When Rana heard that they had come to persuade the king to surrender, he was furious and did not tell King Barrisvi. Bill. Bikram. Shah ordered their brothers to be pushed out and killed. Ye Mengxin shouted: "The two countries are at war, don't kill them!" You executioners, you will pay the price in blood! ”

Chandra ignored their cries and said, "You shameful traitors! Despicable Chinese! ”

Cai Ye stood in the old palace of Patan, waited until it was dark, and did not see Ye Mengxin and the two brothers come back, and finally saw a monkey with blood on his tail running back, Cai Ye saw that it was the cute monkey who often rode on Ye Mengsheng's shoulder, at this moment, the monkey's eyes were full of bloodshot and fear, and he screamed sadly, Cai Ye understood the truth, and his own thought of benevolence made Ye Mengxin's brothers die, Cai Yi remembered the merits of these two brothers in the past few days, his eyes were full of anger, and he ordered the troops to prepare for the siege, early the next morning, Storming Kathmandu and capturing Nepalese Prime Minister Chandra alive. Shamshell. Rana! ……，
