Chapter 43 third quarter

Colonel Ge Lan originally wanted to use military operations to put pressure on him, enter the hinterland of Tibet as soon as possible, and occupy the holy city of Lhasa.Unexpectedly, it was only the second gateway to the border, Longtu Mountain, that made him so strenuous, and the heavy casualties seemed to shock even God.In his prayers, God kept appearing, and the hidden spiritual words were: "Where is your believer? He is my beloved son, go find my beloved son." Jesus disappeared, even God I can't find him anymore.But Colonel Galan seemed to know where Jesus had gone, and repeatedly asked Pastor Darth, "Did we make things difficult for the Lord Jesus? Or does he not like believers who embarrass him?"

Pastor Darth said: "Jesus has been helping the British people, no matter how difficult it is, he will never give up." Colonel Galan asked further: "Can it be more difficult?" There was no need for Pastor Darth to answer, Colonel Galant knew what he should do next.He sent a telegram to Curzon, the Anglo-Indian governor, expressing his astonishment bluntly.What surprised him was not only the fierce resistance of the Tibetans at Mount Lungthu, but also the fact that the diplomatic efforts of the British Empire had so far failed to achieve any results, but they deluded themselves by sending a telegram from Beijing to London saying "the door is open to the Qing Dynasty and Tibet welcomes guests". Then it was passed on to Britain and India, and then to Colonel Galan.Is the pressure from the empire not enough, or is the Chinese court too foolish and bold?Don't they know that the occupation of the British is the occupation of God, and that the invincibility of the banner of Christ is the characteristic of all occupations?Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Maldives Islands, Solomon Islands, Gilbert Islands, Bermuda, Bahamas, Line Islands, Phoenix Islands, Alice Islands, Seychelles, Chagos Islands, Tristan Islands, Marl Venus Islands, Ocean Island, Pitcairn Island, Ducie Island, Ascension Island, St. Helena, Brunei, Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Brookba, Zhe Mengxiong, and Hong Kong, China, are The total area occupied is more than 150 times the size of the British mainland.What is a mere Tibet?

Of course, the purpose of Colonel Galan's telegram to the British and Indian Governors was not to hurry up on diplomacy and get the Tibetans to give up their resistance through the Chinese court as soon as possible, but to tell the Governor and Her Majesty the Queen who sent him to fight that he would not wait for the diplomatic negotiations. No result, from now on, he only believes in the Jesus that a soldier should believe in: without a sword, a Christ will lose his way. After sending the telegram, Colonel Galan called together the officers, as well as Reverend Darth and Lama Gasa, to study the plan of attack.He asked: "According to the habit, where are the most feared lamas in Tibet called Tuo Tuo, where are they most likely to set up their defenses?"

Gasa Lama pointed to the Longtu Mountain Pass and said, "In the middle, it must be in the middle." Seeing that Priest Darth nodded, Colonel Galan said, "After the shelling, our mercenaries sent a team of troops to attack the middle ground, only attracting them and not approaching them. According to the terrain, the weak defense of Longtu Mountain should be in the On the side with fewer stones, Gao Lei’s stones have already been rolled down the mountain by the Tibetans. Our elite troops will first occupy Longtu Mountain from here.” The elite he said refers to the British. Lieutenant Rong He said: "As long as Lama Totuo can be attracted to not come to this side for reinforcements, the Tibetans here will be vulnerable."

Colonel Galan said dissatisfiedly: "You always look down on your opponent, and you always retreat in defeat.". Lieutenant Rong He said: "It won't happen this time, Colonel, let's talk about the time to attack." Colonel Galan looked at the sky and mountain scenery and said: "Sleep on the spot and wait for my order. Attacks that can win always happen suddenly." Then he asked Pastor Darth and Lama Gasa, "When do you think the attack most?" Pastor Darth and Lama Gasa both said, "Morning." Colonel Galan didn't expect it.Just when he was surprised and angry by the resistance of the Tibetans and the self-deception of the British, his telegram was sent to the London government in the name of British and Indian Governor Curzon.The London government, who was also astonished, immediately forwarded the original text to Walson, the British minister to China.Then came Wallson's astonishment, and then he went to the Prime Minister's Office of International Affairs of the Qing Dynasty in person and submitted a letter of protest to the minister on duty.

The minister on duty was dumbfounded, so he went to ask Prince Chun who was in charge of the matter.Prince Jin knew that things were going to be difficult, so he excused himself from his illness.The minister on duty also invited Mrs. Wu, the negotiator of the Prime Minister's Yamen. Futai argued: This yamen and Prince Chun have issued an order to Wen Shuo, the minister in Tibet, to immediately withdraw the border guards and guard the Tibetan soldiers, promising the British to travel, do business and preach in Tibet.The minister also reported that he had complied with the decree. How could it be that "the mountain top is a fortress, the huge rock is a platform, and he fought to the death here, trampling on the decree"?Mrs. Fu told Walsen that she would immediately question her and order her to make corrections.

Also very soon, in the business club belonging to the East India Company on the west side of Di'anmen Gate in Beijing, Niu Jiali, the assistant administrator of the British ambassador to China Walson, and Ma Kelei, the negotiator of the British and Indian governments, please come to have dinner .Niu Jiali hired a few girls, regardless of Man and Han, and served them with foreign wine.Ma Keying presented 20 boxes of opium in the name of the East India Company's China Business Club. But it was too much to accept, and then ate and drank and talked. Niu Jiali and Ma Kelei didn't believe that Wu Tai, who was a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, would say such a thing, so they asked someone to bring a pen and paper and said, "Please write down what you just said, so we can have a basis."

Fu Tai smiled and said, "How difficult is this?" Picking up a pen, he wrote: What I say today is also the intention of the court.The British came to Tibet with the aim of opening up business, but the Tibetans were suffering from the danger of Buddhism being extinct.Only by getting rid of the obscurity of stupidity and obstinacy as soon as possible, be courteous to the British and foreign, and welcome the Christian religion, can we avoid the calamity of being a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.Buddha blesses you, Mr. Ye also blesses you, there is one more blessing in Tibet, two gods are at the same level, and the two suns are shining, everyone is lucky, the court is celebrating, if it is not a sign of a prosperous age.How can there be such luck.

Niu Jiali and Ma Kelei watched and laughed. Tai Fu said: "The above written will be used as an edict, and a secret telegram will be sent to Wen Shuo, the Minister of Tibet. Please rest assured, both adults." Then he raised his glass and said, "Bai Landi, Bai Landi." Brandy" means worshiping England and God.Niu Jiali and Ma Kelei drink to Tai Fu.No too much to drink.Feeling very wrong, he was used to the taste of Chinese jar wine, frowned, but said: "It's delicious, it's delicious, there was no such good wine in the Qing Dynasty."
