Zhang Shusheng's trip to Tibet was soon completed, because the purpose of this trip to Tibet was to personally experience the actual situation in Tibet in order to decide what kind of policy to implement next, and to take a break in the breathless war, so the time was much longer than the usual sense of the inspection place.

For the sake of secrecy, the trip was extremely simple, and he did not bring any military and political dignitaries, and his entourage consisted only of two special central security guards and a senior veteran intelligence officer of the Special Intelligence Department who had been serving in Tibet for a long time. Boss Zhang's trip to Tibet is a traveling merchant who buys Tibetan mastiffs and precious Tibetan medicines.

The guard [***] Feng pretended to be Boss Zhang's personal bodyguard, and the guard Fan Keming acted as the driver. And the old intelligence officer Qiao Yu is familiar with all kinds of Tibetan work because of his many years of work experience in Tibet, and he has the identity of a Tibetan arranged by the Ministry of Special Intelligence, and now he still uses this identity in his early years: Tibetan Bagar, who is a Tibetan guide in a team of four.

The Qamdo garrison received an order from the base camp that a special operation group was about to arrive, and an elite 105th mechanized division arranged by Zhuge Sheng, the commander of the Tibetan garrison area, also arrived near Qamdo ahead of schedule. Their task is to conduct a long-distance march drill in the steppe, but the speed and direction of the march will be synchronized from the base camp.

Their role is to maintain absolute deterrence within a range of tens of kilometers of Zhang Shusheng's four-person team, and to be able to provide the fastest response support through tanks, armored vehicles, or plateau helicopters in an hour or even less under special circumstances.

On 25 October 1945, a modified military C-35 transport plane flew over the Qamdo Military Airport and was slowly descending.

"The sky in Tibet is really as blue as the sea."

After Zhang Shusheng lowered the altitude of the plane below the clouds, he looked out of the porthole, and there was a clear blue sky everywhere he looked, without the slightest pollution, giving people an ethereal feeling.

He had never been to Tibet before his rebirth, and even if he had come to this era, it was the first time he had gone to Tibet. He has been to the northern and southern Xinjiang regions, but the scenery and culture of Tibet are very different from those in the mainland, which makes him look forward to it.

"Boss, this is what the world calls the closest place to the sky, I have lived here for twenty years, and I almost don't want to go back, hehe."

Speaking is the guide Bagel, who came to Tibet earlier than the time of Tibet's liberation, when he was only in his twenties, he was resettled in Tibet as a nomad, and stayed for 20 years, it can be said that he was used to seeing the scenery of Tibet, and almost forgot the scenery of the big cities in the interior.

When he learned that he had been selected for this special task force, he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he had been officially promoted to deputy director of the Qinghai-Tibet region of the Ministry of Special Intelligence, with the rank of colonel of the National Defense Forces.

The two guards in the group, the discipline is too strong, not to mention, the two of them are like cold machines, even when they saw Zhang Shusheng, the excited light released in their eyes seemed to be burning, but they could abide by their duties, neither daring nor talking to the chairman more. However, the performance of the two is very suitable for the positioning of bodyguards and drivers.

Zhang Shusheng did not deliberately ask them how to do it, but specially communicated with this 'Tibetan Tong'. At first, Bagger was also cautious and bowed his head involuntarily when he spoke, but after receiving special intensive training and being ordered twice by the chairman, he was finally able to perform his duties as a guide normally, and regarded this Führer, who could make the world shake by stomping his feet, as his boss.

In his opinion, isn't the chairman the boss? The biggest boss of the people in the country.

As an excellent old intelligence officer, Bagel's life experience and self-adjustment ability are extremely strong, after changing his attitude, even Zhang Shusheng can't see any flaws in this person, this is completely a middle-aged man in Tibet who can be a guide for others for half a month for a bag of salt, a box of soap or a lighter. And Zhang Shusheng is still very satisfied with this Tibetan tour guide in his forties, at least along the way, he heard a lot of things about Tibet from his mouth, good and bad, positive and negative, as long as Zhang Shusheng asked, he can firmly stand and tell without embellishment.

"Yes, the closest place to the sky, the spotless world."

As soon as he mentioned the closest place to the sky, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but think of the Tengger Heaven and another heavenly road, both songs without exception praise the world closest to the sky. With a move in his heart, he decided that after he went back this time, he would publish these two songs in the Sound of Music newspaper as an anonymous person, which could be regarded as a reminiscence. Publishing lyrics under an anonymous or pseudonym is something he often does, and since the Southwest period, he has published a lot of songs that he likes very much under multiple pseudonyms or anonymous names, and then designated the copyright proceeds to a certain charity, and later this behavior even brought a trend, and many people have the habit of following the trend and donating their remuneration and proceeds.

Taking the plane down, Zhang Shusheng took a look at the situation in Qamdo.

Because it is located in the Hengduan Mountains and the Canglan River, Jinsha River, Nujiang River Basin, it is an important town in eastern Tibet, and there are many mountains near the urban area of Qamdo, and the mountains are like a long dragon lying on the prairie, the momentum is extraordinary.

The plane is about to land, and the transport plane is always a little more bumpy than the passenger plane, but fortunately, the quartet is not ordinary people, and their physique is more than the average person, and the change in cabin pressure when the plane descends does not cause them much discomfort.

As for altitude sickness, it is relatively light, firstly, the degree of altitude sickness is related to personal physique, and secondly, after arriving at the plateau by plane, altitude sickness will generally be delayed for some time.

Although Bagger knew that the chairman must have seen the introduction of Qamdo, even the pictures and video introductions, he still acted as a guide and introduced the situation of Qamdo to the boss. A city built in a valley with a population of more than 20,000 people, because of some policy surnames, some Han people have moved in, and at present, Tibetans and Han people live together, of course, Tibetans are the most.

After getting off the plane, Zhang Shusheng and his party did not have any extra stops. A modified off-road bulletproof vehicle from the Tibetan garrison drove directly to the tarmac. The off-road vehicle is relatively large, powerful, and has a very good protective effect, and the glass is also a special bulletproof glass, with spacious interiors, with guards and drivers in the front row, and Zhang Shusheng and Bagger sitting in the back.

The off-road vehicle drove directly to the city of Chamdo.

Since Qamdu is the main road into Tibet, it is also the first important town after the Sichuan-Tibet Highway enters Tibet.

The problem of Tibet is quite special, but inconvenient transportation is definitely one of the most critical basic links. After the liberation of Tibet, the central government immediately started the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The Qinghai-Tibet Highway was the first to open to traffic, and the whole process reached the standard of the second-class oil road in the mountainous area, while the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was opened to traffic late.

The reason is that in later generations, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway has repeatedly had problems, all kinds of natural disasters and [***] continuously, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhang Shusheng personally inquired about the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, with very high requirements to build, at the expense of investing more money to build a better road, even if the progress is slow, you can afford to wait. The importance of building two good roads into Tibet is too big, and the problem of railways cannot be solved in at least ten years, so building two good roads can be regarded as being able to solve many urgent needs.

In fact, there are many cars entering Tibet, and there are not a few cars that stop in Qamdo for supplies and food. After Zhang Shusheng and his entourage entered Qamdo in their off-road vehicles, they felt a completely different style from mainland cities.

Most of the buildings in the small town are newly built, and the money for repairing the houses is partly subsidized by the political axe, and there are also reasons why the Tibetans themselves have made a fortune. The building is mainly two-storey ~ five-storey, seven-storey is already rare, there is only one, more than seven floors are gone, and it is too cost-effective to install an elevator.

Some of the bustling people in the small town are wearing traditional Tibetan clothes, but most of them are actually wearing some clothes from the mainland, jeans, shirts, suits, most of them are really good clothes, the price is not expensive, and the wearing also reflects the trendy, the key is that these simple clothes are more convenient to work than traditional Tibetan clothes.

Most of the people's faces are red, and there is always a kind of friendliness in their eyes, and occasionally the off-road vehicle honks its horn, and the eyes of the Tibetans who turn back are mostly friendly, and some even bend slightly to welcome these distant guests.

Although the Tibetans do not have much knowledge, they know that such Han people are generally from the mainland.

Zhang Shusheng's first impression of Tibet was very good.

When I was in college, I had a Hui classmate, a Uyghur classmate, a Mongolian classmate, and a Uyghur roommate in the same dormitory. The Uyghur male classmate's surname is more perverse, and he has more fancy intestines, and he has received Chinese education since he was a child, and his Uyghur language is not as good as Mandarin standard. He didn't have much contact with that male classmate, but the overall feeling was okay, in contrast, another Uyghur student who used to be in the dormitory, that is, a completely modern hipster man, kind and friendly, all day long discussing football, basketball, music, and ethnic differences, he was all stalling hands, saying, 'Those people are sick here, and they are doing well, and everyone is no different'. Hui classmates are amazing, the university is still a study committee, Mongolian classmates can't speak Mongolian, a very gentle girl, if she doesn't say that she is Mongolian, Zhang Shusheng can't tell that he is not Han.

And Tibetan people, he has not been in contact, if you really want to say that he has been in contact, in his previous life, when he took the train to queue up to buy tickets, he often encountered it, after all, at that time, the Qinghai-Tibet line was opened, and Tibetans in Chengdu often bought tickets to return to Tibetan areas.

I just arrived in Qamdo this time, and my first impression was very good.

The problem of eating is easier to solve, the off-road vehicle is parked on a small street specially vacated parking space, and walking down is a restaurant street. On this street, Han Chinese, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Hui people have shops, all kinds of tastes, and drivers and guests from the Sichuan-Tibet Highway like to eat here, cheap, simple service and full portions.

Zhang Shusheng did not enter the first 'Bashu restaurant', but entered a restaurant opened by a Tibetan next door, which did not even have a signboard, only a handwritten Tibetan signboard, which also had Chinese 'eating and drinking', which was very simple and clear.

"You may be seated."

Seeing the guests, a little Tibetan woman hurriedly came over to greet her, and she actually spoke Chinese.

Zhang Shusheng motioned to Beagle to order, and Begger ordered barbecue, barley wine, fried barley, naan, butter tea and the like, and handed it to his boss to see, Zhang Shusheng saw that there was rice on it, so he added a pot of rice. He Ning and Lu Yunyan were worried that he would not be used to eating Tibetan food, and a lot of food had already been prepared in the off-road vehicle, such as potatoes, tomatoes, and meat.

The things ordered were very fast, Zhang Shusheng was the first time to eat Tibetan-style food, he ate it quickly, and the taste was not bad, especially the barbecue was very authentic, and the rest would be fine.

Because it was not time to eat, and there were no extra customers in the store, an old Tibetan man came out from behind, sat next to Zhang Shusheng, and handed him a cigarette.

"Thank you." Zhang Shusheng took the cigarette, regardless of the vigilant look of the guard next to him, signaled that it was okay, and went to the old Tibetan man's lighter and lit it.

"Young man, what are you doing here to Tibet?" Unexpectedly, the old Tibetan man spoke Chinese very well, with an obvious Sichuan accent, and Zhang Shusheng guessed that the old man was probably a person who ran to Sichuan and Tibet before.

"Old man, I'm from Chengdu, and I'm going to buy a few Tibetan mastiffs, and by the way, I'll buy some rare Tibetan medicines, like cordyceps, and I'll also collect them." Since Zhang Shusheng is dressed as a running businessman, he is naturally self-cooked, and let the other three continue to eat at the moment, he eats quickly, and he just chats with the old Tibetan man after eating.

"Tibetan mastiff? That thing is very powerful, and the herdsmen's families take care of the animals, and they are very precious, and you are afraid that it will not be easy to buy them. Tibetan medicine is easy to buy, and it is sold in many pastoral areas and townships, and there are many businessmen like you. "The old Tibetan man did not smoke the paper cigarette in his hand, but took out the leaf cigarette, which made Zhang Shusheng feel emotional, worthy of being a veteran of running Sichuan and Tibet." When I was young, I went to Sichuan and Tibet, but I went to Chengdu and followed the big boss. ”

"It can be seen that your old man used to be a person who was used to running the rivers and lakes, hehe."

Zhang Shusheng's words made both of them laugh. Accustomed to running the rivers and lakes, the Tibetan old man agrees.

"Old man, how are you doing now, is the new deal good for the Tibetans?"

"Okay, okay." When the Tibetan old man mentioned the New Deal Axe, he couldn't help but laugh even more, and said, "Since they went to Qinghai and let us listen to the words of the New Deal Axe, the New Deal Axe has not done anything bad, and it is all good for us Tibetans."

Food, shelter, clothing, and clothing have made great progress compared to before, and the political axe helps the poor and helps us survive. How many Tibetan lives were saved after the end of serfdom......"

The Tibetan old man's name is Gesang, and he talks endlessly about the good of the new political axe.

"Then how about the integration of Tibetans and political axes and people of other nationalities now, is there still a big difference?" Zhang Shusheng asked.

"There should be some problems with ethnic harmony in some places, especially those nomadic people, many people don't even know what the political axe is and where the political axe is, and their words are cattle and sheep and the little calves at home." The old Tibetan man saw that Zhang Shusheng was a little fascinated by what he heard, and hurriedly explained, "Young man, it's not that they are opposite, it's that they don't have ethnic distinctions in their hearts, and in their eyes, they are not Tibetans, they are all guests from afar. The distinction between nationalities is very weak in those places. However, it is true that a small number of people are vulnerable to exploitation and incitement. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded, this is similar to his thoughts, there are less than two million Tibetans in the entire Tibetan area, most of them are still distributed in pastoral areas, and the degree of contact between those people and the outside world is so low that even if the situation in the next 50 years is not very optimistic.

"I know some friends who are political axes, do you have anything special to say, old man? I'll tell you about it when I get back. Zhang Shusheng said ambiguously, and the old man actually believed it.

Gesang smoked a leaf cigarette and said, "Now that the highway has been repaired, it is easy to get out of Tibet, but it is not easy for the doll to study, and the annual travel fee is a lot of money." The schools in the mouth are better, and many people send their children to study in the mouth. My little calf is studying in Xi'an. ”

Study? Zhang Shusheng remembered that although there are Western-Tibetan universities in the whole of Tibet, they are much worse than those in the mainland, and he once read from the report of the Ministry of Education that many Tibetans with insight have begun to send their children to study in the mainland, and education is free anyway, but the cost of travel is a problem.

Zhang Shusheng found from Gesang's words that at least some Tibetans yearn for a good life in the interior and see the progress and development of modern society. After all, more and more Han people are entering Tibet, and the spread of radio and television are all triggers for accelerating the change of Tibetan people's consciousness.

This made him realize that if the difficulty of integration is to be further narrowed, the key is to send a large number of Tibetan sons and daughters to the interior to study, and to form a kind of ethnic education system based on the existing Chinese language schools and then directly and uniformly sent to the interior to study, which will be of great help to divide some stubborn Tibetans and implement the policy of great integration. The total Tibetan population of less than 2 million is pitifully small in the number of young people, and the number of students studying in the entrance each year is not as large as the number of students in a medium-sized city in the interior.

This is the first important inspiration that Zhang Shusheng got in chatting with the old man. It is not enough to let those 'Lafayettes' take the initiative to leave their nest and go to Qinghai, but also let the Han people come in and the Tibetans go out.

As for the second inspiration, Zhang Shusheng believes that it is necessary to speed up the construction of pastoral settlements, resettle Tibetans in a unified manner, plan pastoral areas in a unified manner, and carry out propaganda and education work in a unified manner, so that they can have the opportunity to enjoy the care and good policies from the political axe, and not let these Tibetans leave them to fend for themselves like sheep. Of course, this policy is also suitable for promotion in other ethnic minority areas.

Privilege Zhang Shusheng does not want to give to any ethnic minority, respect each other, live together, and enjoy the natural power of the great Chinese nation is the bottom line. Anyone who violates this bottom line is a dead end.

I had a good afternoon meal, and when I checked out, Gesang actually wanted a discount, yes, it was a discount, and he learned this word from the Sichuan restaurant next door.

When Zhang Shusheng heard that the other party was going to give him a 5% discount, he was immediately unwilling.

"Old man, we are all businessmen, and you have entertained customers warmly, so I naturally have to pay a reasonable fee. If one day you stop doing business and live at home, and I come to visit you again, then you should entertain me for free. Zhang Shusheng wanted to refuse, but Gesang said that business between friends can be discounted, and said that it was the rule that he went to Sichuan with the big boss in his early years.

Zhang Shusheng had no choice but to accept it, and turned around and asked the guard [***] Feng to go to the car and take a Chinese cigarette and give it back to Gesang, the price alone is enough to pay for ten meals.

Gesang was also so cool, and personally sent Zhang Shusheng and his party out of the side street to board the car, which caused many Han and Tibetan compatriots to watch.

…… It has been half a day since leaving Qamdo, and the off-road vehicle is driving on a relatively simple pastoral road, saying that it is a highway, but in fact, it is more cattle, sheep and cars to walk, and the road is formed, and finally it is transformed into a real highway by the political axe, and the section of Changdu is still repairing the road surface, which will be repaired into an oily road.

"Tibetan compatriots are really enthusiastic, and doing business can be like making friends."

Hearing the boss say this, Bagger also smiled, "Yes, the vast majority of Tibetans are very kind and simple, they have a kind of purity in their bones, they have no heart, they are very straightforward, as long as you respect him, he can treat you as a friend." ”

"Such a person is so simple." Zhang Shusheng also sighed.

After a short drive, I came to a pastoral area where herders were scattered, and in the car I could see several yurts in the distance.

At a small mountain pass, a woman in Tibetan clothes was waving to Zhang Shusheng's car.

Feng reflexively became nervous, his hand reached into his arms, professional habits, whenever someone he didn't know approached the boss, he felt that the other party was suspicious.

"Don't be nervous, let's see if that Tibetan girl needs our help."

Before his rebirth, Zhang Shusheng knew some stories that some Tibetans would stop cars in pastoral areas, sometimes to inform them that there was a problem with the road ahead, or to inform them that there were wolves in front of them, or to ask for some medicine, most of them were well-intentioned or asked for passing cars.

A few meters away from the Tibetan girl, the Chinese off-road vehicle slowly stopped, and the guide, Bagella, got out of the car and walked towards her.

Shaking off the glass of the car, Zhang Shusheng looked at it, it was a very beautiful Tibetan girl, with a good complexion, a faint plateau red, very clear and bright eyes, and the whole person was even a little shy. The whole person looks simple, but it gives people a very unique beauty.

What a rare good girl. He couldn't help but think of a world that was still at war, a place like Tibet, where neither inspired by victory nor discouraged by defeat, was now far from being able to take up arms and train as warriors.

In her, especially in her eyes, Zhang Shusheng saw a beauty that shocked the soul.

Zhang Shusheng pushed the car door and walked down, wanting to hear what they had to say, [***] Feng and the driver also got out of the car and followed carefully.

"Boss." Seeing Zhang Shusheng coming over, Bagel turned around and shouted.

"Hello, we are passing merchants." Zhang Shusheng said to the girl who was even more shy, obviously the other party couldn't understand Chinese, Bagel hurriedly translated, and the girl said a word shyly.

"Boss, she said welcome guests from afar." Bagel said.

Zhang Shusheng smiled and replied, "Thank you." Then he asked Bagger what was the matter with the girl.

Bagger explained, "Boss, this little girl wants us to do her a favor. Her brother, who is in junior high school in a small town near Nyingchi, had someone come back with a letter the other day saying he wanted to buy a radio.

The family had prepared money, a total of 20 yuan, and the little girl wanted us to help her bring it to her brother. ”

Perhaps afraid that Zhang Shusheng would not help, Bagger said cautiously, "She has been standing here for two hours. She said that other people passing by were slow to bring money, so let us bring the money and her brother would receive it soon. ”

When Zhang Shusheng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

This is the simplicity and purity of the people in Tibetan areas.

The shock in his heart was completely written on his face.

Let a few guests who don't know bring a 'huge amount of money' for their younger brother, what kind of innocence can this be done? People who change places in any other place probably think about what to do if others are greedy for my money, but she can have no other superfluous ideas. 20 yuan, relative to the Tibetans, that may be all the savings, and Zhang Shusheng saw that some of the money was moldy, showing mildew and blue, this is the family's savings.

She is not afraid that others will take the money and leave, she is not afraid that others will not help, but will swallow the money privately, she doesn't even ask a word more, tell a word more.

The brilliance of a person's surname, this is the natural beauty of a person's surname. There is no superfluous intrigue, no deceit, it is completely the most primitive trust between people.

"Promise her, you take the money."

Zhang Shusheng gestured to Bagel. Deep down, he actually had a conclusion about this trip to Tibet, of course, in the next few days, he still had to take a look and go to some contradictory areas, but in essence, his mind had already been decided.

Turning around and walking back to the car, Zhang Shusheng took a seagull camera, turned back, and said to the girl, "Did I have the honor to take a photo with you?" ”

After Bagel finished translating, he raised his hand to make movements, simulating the sound of the shutter, and when the Tibetan girl finished speaking, he said, "She doesn't know what photography is, but she said she can agree." ”

Zhang Shusheng walked up to the girl and motioned for her to look at Bagel, who was holding the camera. Barely needed to say anything more for the girl to laugh shyly.

"Click!"

A shutter sound froze this moment here, a group photo of Zhang Shusheng and a Tibetan girl. In the photo, Zhang Shusheng smiled very cheerfully, without any burden and reluctance at all, and the Tibetan girl had a pure and natural demeanor.

When leaving, Zhang Shusheng knew her name, Zhuoma!

In that small town very close to Nyingchi, Zhang Shusheng and his party found Zhuoma's younger brother Tashi Dorjee and gave him the 20 yuan.

Before leaving, Zhang Shusheng encouraged the child to study hard, saying that he would send him a little radio gift when he returned to the mainland.

The entire trip to Tibet Province was originally planned to be a month, but Zhang Shusheng stayed for 15 days, and finally ended his trip in Lhasa and boarded the plane back to Beijing.

In early November, when the war broke out in Southeast Asia, Zhang Shusheng signed an order and issued a number of orders on ethnic minority areas, including further narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor in ethnic minority areas and the hinterland, and sending the children of ethnic minorities to school in the hinterland if they were voluntary. And for some deeper problems, Zhang Shusheng also has a plan. At least he believes that a very small number of Tibetans should not be affected by the majority of the simple Tibetan people, but should be treated fairly. Of course, these are also an important part of the cause of building the great Chinese nation, and other ethnic groups will also take this as a reference, treat them fairly, and deal with them fairly.

At the same time as signing the order, Zhang Shusheng also personally selected a batch of radio amateur equipment and sent it to the school where Tashi Dorjee was, and then attached a letter to Tashi Dorjee, in which Zhang Shusheng confessed that he was the head of state and highly praised the two sisters and brothers, and there was a group photo of Zhang Shusheng and Zhuoma in the envelope.

At his behest, Shusheng Company's love fund also began to pay more attention to these ethnic minority areas.

(To be continued)
