The Manchu ministers stationed in Tibet were divided into ministers stationed in Tibet and deputy ministers stationed in Tibet.

Before the end of the Yongzheng Dynasty, the minister stationed in Tibet did not have a unified title, and there were many titles such as prime minister, chef, and assistant in charge of Tibetan affairs. The initial number of posts was set at two, and when one person leaves office, one person will remain there, which will help the new recruits become familiar with Tibet's administrative affairs. However, the situation in Tibet was unstable, and there were often as many as four or five ministers and assistant ministers stationed in Tibet at the same time. After the Albuba Rebellion was pacified, in the first year of Qianlong, the minister stationed in Tibet was reduced to one member. However, after the death of Po Luo Nai in the twelfth year of Qianlong, the second son Zhurmat Namzhal made a rebellion, and the minister in Tibet Ji Shan did not supervise effectively, causing Emperor Qianlong to think that "the relationship between Tibet and Tibet is very important, and there are two people to discuss the matters that should be done there, which is more beneficial, and the shift has been replaced, and there is an old person, especially if it is appropriate." In the 14th year of Qianlong, the old system of two ministers stationed in Tibet was restored. Forty-five years after Qianlong, there was a strict distinction between the minister stationed in Tibet and the minister acting as deputy to Tibet.

The ministers stationed in Tibet are generally Manchus and Mongols, with occasional Han Chinese. The term of office of the Minister in Tibet is three years. The edict of the tenth year of Yongzheng said: "After that, the ministers stationed in Tibet, Zhang Jing, and the pen post style will all be changed every three years during the change period of the green camp." The replacement minister led the officers and soldiers from Chengdu to Tibet, and after the investigation and explanation, the old minister in Tibet led the officers and soldiers of the original garrison to return to the hinterland. However, due to the long distance and political changes, the actual term of office can be as short as a few months or as long as four or five years.

Yongzheng to the early years of Qianlong. The minister stationed in Tibet only has jurisdiction over the officers and soldiers stationed in Tibet, and supervises the county king Po Luo Nai in handling government affairs. After the death of Polo Nam, Zhurmat Namzal was at odds with the Dalai Lama. He also colluded with the Dzungar Ministry to plot a rebellion, and was booby-trapped and killed by Fu Qing, the minister of the Tibet Office, and the deputy minister Labudun in the 15th year of Qianlong (1750). Subsequently, Fu Qing and Labudun were killed by Zhurmat Namzal's henchmen. After the rebellion was put down, the Governor of Sichuan, Celeng, promulgated the 13 Articles of the "Regulations for the Rehabilitation of Tibet" in the same year. The "Regulations for the Rehabilitation of the Aftermath of Tibet" stipulate important affairs in Tibet, such as the appointment, dismissal, promotion, and promotion of local officials, the dispatch of troops and horses, and the defense of passes. It is to be handled at the discretion of the Kalun Minister in Tibet and the Dalai Lama. The Mongol armies of the Eight Banners of Damu and Shuote stationed in Dangxiong were also under the command of the Minister stationed in Tibet.

In the 58th year of Qianlong (1793), after Fukangan, the governor of Liangguang, led his troops to quell the Gurkha invasion, he issued a request to promulgate Article 29 of the "Regulations on the Rehabilitation of the Aftermath in Tibet", which once again confirmed the functions and powers of the ministers stationed in Tibet and the Kashag. The constitution stipulates that the status of ministers stationed in Tibet is equal to that of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Panchen Erdeni, and all parts of Tibet called for the reincarnation of Tuketu. and the enthronement ceremony of the Dalai Lama, which must be presided over by the Minister in Tibet. The Dalai Lama and other monks are not allowed to write directly to the emperor, but must be relayed by the minister stationed in Tibet. If there is a vacancy in the khenpo (abbot) of the major monasteries, the Minister in Tibet will select them in conjunction with the Dalai Lama. The Kalun and its subordinate Kashag monks and lay officials were all subordinate to the Minister in Tibet. All kinds of government affairs handled by the Kashag. It is up to the Kalun to inform the Minister in Tibet and the Dalai Lama. Do not conceal without permission. When there is a vacancy in an official at the level of Kalun or Dai Qi (i.e., Dai Ben), the Minister in Tibet and the Dalai Lama will draw up a list of candidates for the emperor, and the emperor will select and appoint them. The rest of the Tibetan officials before and after were selected and replaced by the ministers stationed in Tibet together with the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. The Minister in Tibet shall coordinate and handle all matters concerning Tibet's border defense, military garrisons, trade (Gurkha can go to Tibet once a year, Kashmir once every three years), coinage, and foreign tribute. The Minister in Tibet also has the power to inspect Tibet's local fiscal revenues and expenditures; and supervise matters such as justice, household registration, and errand service (ula).

It can be said that it is precisely from this that the central government has strengthened its management of Tibet.

The current minister of affairs in Tibet is named Bin Liang, Guerjia, and a native of the Red Banner of Manchuria. The name of the assistant minister in Tibet is Mu Teng'e. Bayuete, a native of the Yellow Banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The two were responsible for administering the entire Tibetan region. It can be said that with the exception of the Yellow Sect leader Panchen and the Dalai Lama, the whole of Tibet is under their control. In Tibet, they belonged to the Emperor of the Soil. However, the current two feel that the future is bleak. Originally, the ministers stationed in Tibet were changed every three years, but now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has perished, what can they do?

In the residence of Bin Liang, the minister stationed in Tibet, Bin Liang and Mu Teng'er, were frowning sadly. They had just confirmed the news that in March, the city of Beijing had been captured by the Imperial Army, and that the Emperor and Regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been captured by the Imperial Army.

"My lord, what do you say is this! The Qing Dynasty perished in just a few years. We're all over the world, and that's the end of it? Mu Teng sighed with a long forehead. With the news of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the names of the two of them as ministers in Tibet were no longer valuable. The Tibetan officials and Tusi who were originally respectful to them also began to disobey them. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops they still have in their hands, they might not even have their lives.

"Alas! Dynasty changes are a common occurrence. It's just that now it's my turn to clear up. I have been in the Qing Dynasty for 200 years, and there will be such a day after all. It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Bin Liang, the minister of the Tibet Office, looked a little lonely.

"My lord, what do you think we should do now? These days, those toasts are getting more and more unpleasant. If this continues, the entire plateau will probably be in chaos. Mu Teng said with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's not messy. Only we still have the army in hand, and even if those toasts jump again, they are just looking for death! If they dare to mess around, we will dare to kill. Even if the blood of killing is like a river, it will not be spared. A murderous intent flashed in Bin Liang's eyes. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has always used both to suppress and appease these toasts, and they have never been merciless to those who rebelled.

"My lord, I'm worried that behind those toasts, there are people supporting them. Otherwise, they would not dare to be so arrogant. Mu Teng said.

"Humph! Is it the Panchen Lama or the Dalai Lama? Bin Liang asked.

Mu Teng shook his head.

"Could it be the Chinese Empire?" Bin Liang asked in some surprise.

"It's not them, my people's secret protection, there are foreigners in Lhasa, British from the south!" Mu Teng said.

"What? Briton? Those guys dare to collude with foreigners, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead. I can give the order and arrest them all. I'd like to see what they want to do! "Bin Liang hated the British to the core. In his opinion, if the British had not defeated the Manchus during the Opium War, the Manchus would not have fallen to this point, let alone the rapid rise of the Chinese Empire. It can be said that the British were the main culprits for the decline and rapid demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, we can't startle the snake! If you do this, won't the whole plateau be in chaos? First of all, we have to think about our own future! Mu Teng said.

"The future? Do we still have a future? The Qing Dynasty has perished, and we can only drag it out for one day now, and it's one day. Bin Liang said.

"My lord, that's wrong. Although the Qing Dynasty has perished, we still have a bright future. Mu Teng said.

"Master Mu, what do you mean by this?" Bin Liang squinted at Mu Teng's forehead.

"Your Excellency, you've guessed it, haven't you?" Mu Teng asked.

"Bold, you actually dare to betray the Qing Dynasty and take refuge in the Chinese Empire, are you still an official of my Qing Dynasty? You have failed the grace of God, and I will kill you! Bin Liang was furious.

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, I am doing this by the will of the emperor and the regent." Mu Teng said hurriedly. He was really afraid that Bin Liang, who was angry, would ask for his head.

"The will of the Emperor and the Regent? What does that mean? Haven't the emperor and the regent been captured by the Chinese Empire? Bin Liang said with a frown.

"Yes! My lord. Although the royal family and the regent have been captured, they are still our masters! The emperor and the regent have already issued an order, asking us to fully cooperate with the Chinese Empire to control the plateau, not to let the plateau become chaotic, let alone to give a chance to those British who are eyeing the enemy. Mu Teng said persuasively.

Bin Liang had some hesitation, he knew what Mu Teng meant. There is no doubt that now that the Manchus have perished, they have no future. After the Chinese Empire threw out an olive branch, it became the best choice to take refuge in the Chinese Empire.

"My lord, this is the Regent's secret letter. The emperor's decree was sent by the imperial envoy. Mu Teng handed a letter to Bin Liang.

Bin Liang took the letter and read it. The letter is not long, and there is only one main content, that is, the demise of the Qing Dynasty, which belongs to the normal change of the dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is over, so you should be willing to gamble and lose, so as not to harm all the Manchurians. Now that the Chinese Empire has become the co-ruler of the world, there is no need to shed the blood of the Manchurians. Han and Manchu are all Chinese, this is a matter of their own family, and they can't let outsiders take advantage of it.

Of course, the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu, it is impossible to write such a letter, it was all written under the pressure of the intelligence officers of the Chinese Empire. As for the little emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, he was already timid, and it would have been much easier to exert a little pressure on him to give an edict to the Manchu ministers stationed in Tibet.

"This is indeed the note of His Royal Highness the Regent. It seems that the decree is also true. Bin Liang said.

"My lord, the Empire has agreed to appoint us as Governor and Deputy Governor of the Plateau Province. As soon as we agree to join the Empire, the letter of appointment will be issued soon. Even after the end of the five-year term, we can go to Jingshi for retirement. However, the civil officials of the empire did not have the power to command the army. The army of the plateau will have the generals of the empire to be in charge. Mu Teng continued.

Bin Liang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since there is the will of the emperor and His Royal Highness the regent, then I, Bin Liang, can only obey the will!" (To be continued......)
