Chapter 33 second quarter

The day after the meeting between the regent and the minister in Tibet, the Kaxag government issued the first wartime announcement to the whole of Tibet, especially to the Dzongs (counties) and Xi (manors) along the border.The announcement was quickly posted all over Tibet.Mrs. Po'al of Gyantse saw it when she went to Baiju Temple to offer incense, and she came back and told Ergalon.Er was a little puzzled, so he took someone on horseback to see it in person.I thought to myself that the order given to me by the regent was "never shoot until the imperial order arrives". Now that the order has not come, how could there be an announcement calling for resistance and sacrifice for the Buddha?

On another thought, the announcement was for "officials, big and small, and the common people." I am the front-line commander, and I am leading the regular Tibetan army, so I am naturally different from them.It was still the eight words ordered by the regent: "Defend the border urgently and wait patiently." However, since officials, young and old, all have to go to the border, he can no longer stay in Gyantse, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the front line.Thinking about it, he beat his horse and shouted, and immediately returned to Po'ale Manor. At the gate of the watchtower courtyard of the manor, Mrs. Poal’s eldest daughter, Yang Zhen, whipped a bull tied to a stake: “Do you know why I whipped you? Idiot with no long memory, I told you that your wife is Barbara.” Sang, why did you forget? If you don’t like Basang, there are so many cows in the herd to choose from, why do you go to Yancuo? Yancuo has already given birth to several calves, it is Basang Don’t you know about Sang’s mother?” Both Basang and Yancuo are cows.The two mentioned cows looked at Yang Zhen curiously not far away.The bull was in a hurry and ran around the stake.Yangzhen chased and beat him, saying what he said just now over and over again, and pretended not to see Ergalon when he saw Ergalon.

Er got off his horse, threw the reins to his followers, and walked around Yangzhen towards the gate. Suddenly, the whip was brushed against his shoulders, causing him to gasp in pain. He turned around and said seriously: "You have the strength to beat a cow, Miss Yangzhen should Going to fight foreign demons." Yang Zhen stopped and said: "Fighting foreign demons is a man's business. Uncle Er, are you a man?" Er smiled and said, "Am I a man, you should ask your mother." Yang Zhen raised his whip and said, "I want you to tell me yourself." Afraid of being whipped, Er ran away, almost knocking down Miss Pumei, Yangzhen's younger sister who rushed out of the gate.

Pumei grabbed Er Er and said, "Uncle Er, I was just looking for you. You should read the announcement. It says that you will resolutely fight against foreigners who are preaching, doing business, traveling, worshiping, or investigating. Does this foreigner also include Indians?" Seeing Er nodded, she stomped her boots and said, "That's bad, the person I miss is Indian." Er said: "There are many good men in Tibet, why should I miss an Indian? Buddha's India is now the world of foreign demons, and people have turned bad. Miss Pumei, listen to me and change to someone who misses you." Bar."

Putao innocently patted her belly and said, "I can't change it anymore, the villain inside told me I can't change it anymore." Er was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the name of the person you're thinking about?" Pumei said, "His name is Dasi, and he is a lama." Er said: "It's good to be a lama. Indian lamas are still good lamas. Uncle Er will help you. If the Darth you want to come to Tibet, I'll ask someone to let him go." After Ergalon finished speaking, he walked in, and when he passed the warehouse of the watchtower, he saw Mrs. Po'al's son Queba adding a lock to the door, and said with a smile, "The old lock is not broken and the new one is hung up. Okay." Big brass lock."

Queba said: "Uncle Er, come and see if my new lock is secure, can you not open it?" He doesn't call him Uncle Er, he calls him Uncle, and there is an obvious rejection in the title, just like the saying goes: "Although uncle is the closest, but we must be separated from grandma." For Queba, this is Nature, nature rejects any form of intrusion.When he heard that the foreign demons had invaded, he was so angry that his nose turned crooked, and he talked in his sleep for several nights: "There are still such shameless foreigners who rob land, people, and Buddha?" When he came home, he suspected that this Lhasa man who often walked into Grandma's bedroom and stayed there for several hours was not only greedy for Grandma's beauty, but also greedy for their family's wealth.Beauty can be given, because you can't take it away, and if you give it, it's still your own.Wealth is different, give a little and get a little less.

Er understood what Queba was thinking, and said with a straight face, "No matter how strong the lock is, it can't stop the robber. What should we do when the robber comes? It's time for you to fight the foreign demons." Ergalon came to Mrs. Po'al's bedroom, sat down and said, "Now that Xia Qiongwa is protecting the Po'al Manor on behalf of our regiment, I feel more at ease. I plan to go to Chunbi soon, which is closer to the front line. What else do you need from me?" Mrs. Poal said: "Are you in Gyantse just to do something for me?" Er didn't answer, and went to untie Mrs. Po'ale's belt and said, "I came to Gyantse and accidentally got caught in a battle between two manors. Madame, without me, how would you deal with Rinang Manor?"

Mrs. Poal pushed him away and said, "I have a solution. But since you came to my house, I don't know how to deal with it." Er said: "It seems that you are destined to rely on me." What he thought in his heart was that the commander-in-chief of the Magang Armed Forces was the weekly living Buddha of Ganden Monastery Maiba Zhacang, what did he want to do?No matter what he wants to do, it will easily arouse the vigilance and hatred of the regent Dimu, Drepung Monastery and their factions, and it may also deeply disturb the Dalai Lama who is not in power.The demise of the living Buddha Zhou and his benefactor, Ri Nang Manor, is just around the corner.What I have to do is to continue to disintegrate or clean up the right-hand man Guoguo Daiben and Xia Qiongwa Daiben of Ri Nang Manor, so that there will not be many people in the Ma Gang armed forces.At that time, the subjects and fields of Rinang Manor will naturally belong to Poal Manor.Gyantse Zongben Yancuo, who was partial to Rinang Manor, either got unlucky with the Magang Armed Forces, or became a dog in Po'aler Manor.

Mrs. Poal said: "I believe in you, but what will you get?" Er said, "Isn't it enough to have you?" Mrs. Poal said a little excitedly: "Come on, my man, drive away the foreign demons and marry me." Then she spread herself flat on the bed. Er looked at her and took a deep breath.Mrs. Poal got it, but the deeper desire was like a sharp sword that had already been shot, and it emerged very sharply: if he could get Poal Manor, which is the richest in Gyantse, and then Rinang Manor, he would be able to Become a veritable nobleman.Thus becoming a great benefactor of any monastery in Lhasa.Only such a benefactor can occupy a prominent position in the Kashag government and the entire Lhasa upper class and will last forever, and can also be on an equal footing with those high-ranking monks and lay officials in terms of wealth, entertain guests and give gifts with ease, and climb high.Unlike now, I have to work hard based on my ability, and be loyal to the regent tremblingly. If I am not careful, I will be in danger of taking off my boots and hat, and being dismissed from office.

He threw himself on her and said excitedly, "We're already married." Perhaps it was Ergalon and Mrs. Po'ale's romantic love affair that offended Gyantse Earth God. At a critical moment, the Earth God transferred the luck that should have belonged to Po'ale Manor to Rinang Manor.Rinang Manor is located in the northernmost part of Gyantse, and anyone who comes to Gyantse from Lhasa must pass by.In the past, no one cared who came and who went, but this day, as soon as the fast horse envoy sent by the regent entered the site of Risang Manor, the horse's leg sank into the marmot hole, and the envoy fell headfirst, immediately attracting several people who wanted to help him people.They happened to be the privately armed soldiers of Rinang Manor. While sending the injured envoy into the watchtower of the manor, they also confiscated the chicken feather arrow book in the envoy's breast pocket and handed it to the owner Rinang Wangqin.

Ri Nang Wangqin hesitated for a moment and tore apart the Chicken Feather Arrow Book.The book of arrows was issued by the regent to Ergalon, the frontline chief, asking him to kill the foreign demons when he saw them, and hit God when he met them.Ri Nang Wangqin looked at it several times, tore it in two, and threw it into the firepit. The next day, the soldiers armed with Ma Gang were in the same place again, and encountered a man who had also sunk his horse's leg into a marmot hole.According to Rinang Wangqin's order to "closely monitor the Kashag people", they arrested him.Rinang Wangqin asked him what his job was, and he said that his name was Wei Binghao, and he was sent by Wen Shuo, the minister in Tibet, to help Ergalon, the frontline chief, fight the British. Ri Nang Wangqin said: "You also fight against foreign demons? Are you not a Tibetan? You are Han." Wei Binghao said: "No, I am a Manchu." Ri Nang asked again: "What gods do Manchus believe in?" Wei Binghao Said: "When I came to Tibet, I believed whatever the Tibetans believed." Ri Nang said with a smile, "You want to please me. Well then, you can recite more sutras. I'll prepare more tsampa milk tea for you." After saying that, he ordered someone to put him in a dungeon. Rinang Wangqin personally rode to Ganden Monastery in Lhasa, and reported to Zhou Living Buddha, the commander-in-chief of Magang Armed Forces. Living Buddha Zhou asked nervously: "You locked up both of them? No outsiders know?" Ri Nang Wangqin said darkly, "No, no one knows if they are alive or dead." Living Buddha Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, we must not leak the news, how to deal with it, wait for my news. Remember, in the future, as long as it is against the British, we should not rush forward. The British this time Coming to Tibet must be a good opportunity for us. But to what extent it is good, we will have to wait to see clearly."
