Overlooking Lhasa, surrounded by mountains, green trees, and new houses, it is a beautiful river valley town under the shadow of blue sky and white clouds.

Lhasa Post House is located in Barkhor Street, is an angular two-storey Tibetan style building, this area flutters prayer flags, rippling mulberry smoke, in the center of the street, there is a giant incense burner, day and night fireworks are filled.

On the second floor of the post house, Zhu Sisi looked at this piece of land that may be the most mysterious land of the empire in addition to the forbidden palace in Beijing, in her hand, is a copy of "Liangyou Pictorial", bought when she was in Yunnan, the latest issue, the cover is the portrait of the most popular singer in the empire, although it belongs to Fengyue magazine, but it also contains the news that the empire and the governor of New South Wales signed an agreement involving the status of Chinese workers and the empire began to negotiate with neighboring countries to survey the border and erect boundary monuments.

She came with a team tasked with further accurate maps of the empire's frontiers and the erection of boundary markers with the British and Indian authorities in places like South Bhutan.

As a member of the House of Representatives, Zhu Sisi likes to practice many things, and coming to Tibet Province to see the situation of the Tibetans with her own eyes and inspect the survey of boundary monuments is something that Zhu Sisi has long wanted to do, and Ye Zhao is also very supportive of this.

At this time, the heroic female officer in crimson uniform standing behind Zhu Sisi was Zhu Sisi's personal security officer, Li Yufeng, a first-class internal guard.

At the same time, Li Yufeng was also responsible for liaising with the 3rd Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the Royal Laos Mountain Brigade Task Force, which was accompanied by the protection and survey team, and more than 100 well-equipped officers and men of the mountain brigade were enough to deal with emergencies in Tibet Province.

However, according to the emperor's orders, Li Yufeng is trying to persuade the concubine Niangniang not to go to the border to inspect herself, after all, the environment is harsh, and she may encounter unexpected dangers.

Zhu Sisi couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't be too Ren after all, otherwise she would only tire the people below, and if she really went to the Sino-Indian border, she was afraid that there would be an urgent transfer of a border division to ensure her safety.

In the end, she could only sigh and say, "Feng'er, I listen to you." ”

Li Yufeng is the first time to accompany Concubine Li on an errand, I have heard that the concubine is sympathetic, and now I see that it is true, and I hurriedly bowed down and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, there is no danger in the countryside around Lhasa City, and Niangniang can have a good time." ”

Zhu Sisi bowed slightly, and said: "This afternoon is the closure and reconstruction of Langzixia?" ”

Langzixia is the largest prison in Lhasa, used to deal with serfs or prisoners, the torture equipment inside is extremely terrifying, and all kinds of punishments are even more chilling, the prison performs torture such as nose and tongue, ear cutting, cramps, heart and intestines, head cutting, genital cutting, skinning and burying alive, oil pot, etc., as well as disemboweling the living to expose their internal organs, and killing them after swimming around Barkhor Street. There are more than 50 kinds of skewers, wooden shackles, wire whips, cowhide ropes, stone hats, eye-gouging spoons, finger cutting knives, bronze horses, and nail finger bamboo sticks.

Taking advantage of the torture and massacre of murderers, Rangzisha often offered sacrifices for the Kashag and the upper lamas in the monasteries, such as human skins, human flesh, human hearts, and human intestines, in a very cruel manner.

Zilangxia is best described as hell on earth.

Li Yufeng said: "I heard that yes, the post report sent by Cheng Futai also said the same. ”

Zhu Sisi said: "Then I have to go and see it." He added: "Feng'er, you say, is the Great Emperor a Tibetan Bodhisattva?" When she said this, Zhu Sisi had a faint trace of pride in her heart, it was nothing to be the emperor who ruled the territory of thousands of miles, but hundreds of thousands of miserable slaves were rescued by herself, which is the great merit of great mercy.

The abolition of the Zilangxia system was only the beginning.

…… When the women whose hands and feet were cut off, and the serfs who had been subjected to inhumane torture were released from prison, the Tibetans on Barkhor Street erupted in weeping and cheering, and the families of the prisoners knelt on the ground excitedly, and some fainted with grief and indignation when they saw the tragic condition of their relatives, but most Tibetans murmured to the heavens and chanted for Emperor Manjushri. If the emperors of the previous dynasties who praised the Yellow Sect only received the honorific title of "Emperor Manjushri" of the upper lama, the current emperor of the Central Plains began to enter the life of the Tibetan people at the bottom from this moment.

There are those who regard him as the Bodhisattva Wheel King, and there will be many people who hate him, and the chaos in the entire Tibetan area will also arise from this.

Ye Zhao, who was in the capital, was in the East Warm Pavilion of the Forbidden Palace, looking at the "China Times" report on the affairs in Lhasa, and said: "Propaganda should keep up, mainly in Tibetan areas. ”

Standing at the foot of the dragon couch is Huang Zunxian, the head of the Imperial Study Reporting Office, who is not yet thirty years old, but he has studied both Chinese and Western, and is quite loved by Ye Zhao.

After the former reporter Li Shuchang entered the Government Council, Huang Zunxian took his place, and now Li Shuchang has been released to the governor of Jiangsu, and everyone knows that this is the emperor's determination to promote the election of parliamentarians in Jiangsu Province, so he sent a protégé of the Son of Heaven and a favorite general from the imperial study, and the voice of the political envoy who opposed the election disappeared immediately.

Looking through the newspapers and periodicals, Ye Zhao suddenly thought about something and asked, "Is the lieutenant colonel in the army surveying the northern boundary of the Green Ridge called Liu Buchan?" ”

Huang Zunxian was stunned and said, "Yes." He knew that the emperor was most concerned about the demarcation of Tibetan Province and various places, and the demarcation was also the most important matter in the official reports of the empire today, and he remembered the scholars and military officers of the three survey teams clearly, but he never expected that the emperor would know the name of a small school officer.

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, looked into the distance, and muttered: "Liu Buchan, Liu Buchan......" Many things came to his mind, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Green Ridge, Tajik called the Pamir Plateau, meaning the roof of the world, now the entire territory of the Pamir Plateau is in the territory of the empire, the northern end of the Green Ridge, there is a narrow strip, the Wakhan Corridor, belongs to the territory of Afghanistan, the southern end, is British India.

In recent years, the British and Indian invasions of Afghanistan were very urgent, and when the empire and the Kingdom of Afghanistan were mapping the border, this narrow buffer zone was ceded by Afghanistan to China, including Langar on the Wakhan River, which is known to the Chinese as Lianyunbao.

In this way, the Tajik region in the western regions of China lost its buffer zone with the British and Indian authorities, and the Afghans were able to break their wrists and lose a small thousand square kilometers of territory, bringing the two most powerful countries face each other head-to-head.

However, the Chinese will not accept it, and this place will soon be controlled by the British, so whether the Afghans are driving the tiger or not can only laugh at it.

Entering the Wakhan River Basin to explore are professors and students of Fengtian University of Geology, a total of more than 10 people, responsible for guarding their safety is an infantry company of an elite unit, the company commander is Liu Buchan, a high-achieving student who graduated from the Jinling Royal Military Academy the year before last, a Fujian Houguanren, just 23 years old this year, participated in the Sino-Russian war with the troops, and went to the front line, so it is logical that he was promoted to the company supervisor.

Nowadays, there are many veterans of the emperor's [***] team, who are brave and good at fighting, if they are not selected by the army, if they want to become a company first-class manager, they have to work extremely hard to gain recognition, and "student soldier" is now a derogatory term.

Liu Buyun wore thick black leather boots and walked in the snow, the snow made a creaking sound, and on the side, the Wakhan River had just begun to thaw, this is a valley, with cliffs on both sides, extremely steep.

Walking beside Liu Buyun was a little white girl, a Tajik guide, the Tajiks belong to the Europa race, one of the white ethnic groups in the empire.

The delicate Tajik girl with black hair and deep eyes, her name is Aryan, and she doesn't speak much in the Central Plains, but she can communicate with Liu Buyun through gestures.

Aryan is a local resident, living alone in the valley with his parents and two younger brothers, a family of four or five, because the Wakhan Corridor used to belong to Afghanistan, they have not seen the Chinese [***] people, just loaded with guns when the Chinese soldiers appeared outside the fence door of her house, the family was frightened and hid in the cellar, but in the end it was copied out by the Chinese soldiers, and under the gesture communication, the sensible Aryan acted as a guide for the Chinese, so as not to be hurt by them.

Leading the Chinese to Lianyunbao, Aryan wanted to bypass Uncle Sanji's house, but the Chinese seemed to be smart and tight, and the instruments in their hands could distinguish the direction and avoid detours.

Aryan didn't dare to lie anymore, so he could only pray that Uncle Sanchi and the beautiful aunt were not at home, and the British Indians had also come to the valley, and they were very bad, and they heard that Sister Harbipu had been taken away by them, and I still don't know if she is still alive.

The Chinese, too, are just as bad, they are all foreign robbers.

Walking in the valley, Liu Buyun was also secretly surprised in his heart, in this long and narrow valley, there are almost no villages, and occasionally there will be one or two households in the warm climate near the valley, which can really be said to be a paradise.

In front, a sentry hurriedly ran back and whispered a few words in Liu Buchan's ear, Liu Buyun frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately dispersed into a team, and the survey team of more than ten people was covered by a team and hid behind a boulder.

Aryan's face was pale, because ahead of him, he was almost at Uncle Sanchi's house.

In front of a lonely compound outside Rich, several Indian-faced soldiers were beating an old man, and behind the hillside, the scout sentry carefully opened the rifle safety and slowly took aim with his gun. When Aryan followed Liu Buyun to the reconnaissance post and saw this scene, he recognized at a glance that it was Uncle Sanji who was beaten.

As soon as Aryan wanted to speak, his mouth was covered by a strong hand, and he saw the lieutenant [***] gesturing to her very solemnly, signaling her not to make a noise.

The sentry made a strange gesture, and Aryan could guess that he was reporting to the officer in the center [***] how many enemies there were, and where they were.

Behind him, some of the [***] people have slowly outflanked them under the cover of the terrain.
