Chapter 78 second quarter

In the evening, under the illumination of Wan Dao Xiaguang, the Crusaders arrived at the south of Qumei Xianguo. Lama Gasa told Colonel Gelan that Qumei Xianguo is located in the west of Duoqing Lake, and there is an ancient pilgrimage road between the north of Qumei Xianguo and Duoqing Lake, which is the most convenient way to Kangmazong.It is best for the Crusaders to pass overnight. If this road is blocked by the Tibetan army, they can only bypass the Duoqing Lake from the east, or cross the Jiru Devil Hill on the west edge of Qumei Xianguo. Bad pass. Colonel Galan stared at Lama Gasa and asked, "You mean it's inconvenient for us to stay in Qumei Xianguo? But how do you know that the most convenient road you mentioned is not guarded by Tibetans yet?"

Gasa said: "There are guards during the day, but not at night. The pass that can be guarded on the ancient pilgrimage road is called Damba Zelin Night Weeping Spring. In Tibet, no one dares to stay there at night." He talked about Danba Zelin, and that when Danba Zelin was fighting with the official Tibetan soldiers, he had a tryst with a noble girl in a barn, but it turned out that the girl's love was fake, and the real intention was to betray him to the official. Home.He was very sad, and since then he has a problem, crying every night.His tears were so many that the ground couldn't hold them, they seeped into the ground and turned into a raging spring.Because Danba Zelin's heart was full of hatred and resentment, his tears were full of poison like a curse.And because he wept at night, the spring water became non-poisonous during the day and poisonous at night, and anyone who dipped in the poisonous water that emerged at night would quickly rot and die.

Colonel Galan said, "Tibetans are not so stupid. They avoid those springs at night." Gasa said: "It cannot be avoided. Wherever a person stands, spring water will emerge from there." Colonel Galan took a breath and said, "If this is the case, our people will also be stained with spring water." Gasa said: "Colonel, you have forgotten your God, doesn't God have magic power?" Colonel Galan said: "Of course, God's magic power is enough to deal with all demons, including this weeping Danba Zelin. But we must test to know whether the spell-like poison is effective for us, whether we are It will also rot and die quickly after being touched by the spring water. And, ah, and the night in Tibet is so dark, much darker than the night in England and Europe, God may not be able to see, see the spring water and see the poison in the water .”

Gasa said: "If you are contaminated with water, then scream, suffer, rot and die, your God will be able to see it. There are so many elite cross soldiers, and there are plenty of them for verification. Colonel, let the Sienba people or Nanlu Tibetans go first." Colonel Galan suddenly felt that he was more interested in Lama Gasa than in Danba Zelin's Night Crying Spring.This man represents the evil in Tibet, and if he can serve the British all his life, I will send him to occupy Beijing, and he will exercise power like Satan.The colonel poked Gasa's chest with his finger and said, "You have a devil's heart. God should take you back. You are not a benevolent oriental lama. You can take off your cassock."

Lama Gasa thought it was a commendation for himself, so he laughed happily: "So the colonel agreed to cross the Qumei Xianguo overnight, and pass through the Night Crying Spring before dawn tomorrow?" Colonel Galan turned to Pastor Darth who had been listening to them: "What do you say?" Pastor Darth stared at Lama Gasa and said, "This man full of jealousy, he wants the Crusaders to go on the road, so that I don't have time to practice the Kalachakra Kanyu Vajra Dafa. Colonel, I said that Qumei Xianguo is the way of supernatural powers. Hub, I will not miss it. If you leave, I will be left alone."

Colonel Galan said sternly: "I will not leave you and go away, my pastor. Tell me, is your practice more important, or the attack of the Crusaders?" Darth said: "Of course it is my practice. Practice is the ladder to the truth, and the truth is above everything else." Colonel Galan said: "So, in your mind, God is the enemy of truth?" Darth said: "No, God is half of the truth, and the other half is Buddha. I want to combine God and Buddha. Colonel, you wait, and one day you will understand that there is only one sun above our heads." Colonel Galan said: "I have already understood that we have brought to Tibet the only sun in the world, and that is God. Shouldn't the sun of the British Empire be the sun of every corner of the earth?"

Darth smiled wryly, shook his head heavily, and said seriously: "Colonel, man cannot be more arrogant than God. When God punishes mankind, the first to punish is the arrogant." Colonel Ge Lan didn't care about the pastor's warning. He turned his head and watched the magnificent scenery composed of mountains and fields, and couldn't help but admire: "What a big mountain, curved eyebrows, fairy country, there will no longer be such a beautiful area name in the world. .” Darth said: "The scenery you see will not appear in the UK. It belongs to Tibet alone."

Colonel Galan said: "What if Tibet becomes a British territory?" Pastor Darth didn't say anything, just took out the "Picture of Good and Bad, Good and Evil" and looked at it, his expression was a little stiff. Suddenly, Colonel Galan shouted to the guards around him: "Lieutenant Rong He, call Lieutenant Rong He, and Lieutenant Guoguo, call me. If all places in Tibet are so beautiful, then we should stay in Qu What is Meixian Guo doing? Occupy, occupy, occupy all. Set off overnight, leave Qumei Xianguo, and pass through Night Crying Spring before dawn." He gave Pastor Darth a hard look, as if he issued this order to retaliate against him.

However, Lieutenant Rong He did not come for a long time.Lieutenant Guoguo came, but told him bad news: "In the back, your people, those British people, are all lying down." Colonel Galan yelled: "What are your people? Do you think you are still a Tibetan? You should say our people, our glorious and invincible British officers and soldiers. What are they lying down for? Are they tired? No rest without my order .” "It was the Buddha who told them to lie down, and they couldn't get up." Lieutenant Guoguo said. "No, it's God, God made them lie down." Colonel Galan corrected sensitively.

Whether it is the will of Buddha or God, for Colonel Galan, it means that he must let the Crusaders stay in Qumei Xianguo, at least not tonight.Those invincible British soldiers from England or Scotland, the islands in the sea, could not adapt to the plateau climate at an altitude of 4,600 meters. Coupled with days of intense and brutal marching and combat, they all suffered from headaches, dizziness, chest tightness, fatigue, vomiting, fever, Coma.Colonel Gelan ordered the field hospital to treat them quickly, and then transferred all the Sienba, Gurkhas, and Nanlu Tibetans who were not afraid of high altitudes, and deployed them on the left, right, and front three sides to protect them from suffering from hypoxia. The British soldiers are ready to start at any time.

Colonel Galan said to Pastor Darth: "Your goal has been achieved. It seems that God is perfecting you." Darth said: "It's not me that God made perfect, but all the lying British soldiers and all the crusaders who didn't want to bleed to death." Then he left and went to find a place to practice. It was dark and windy, and Colonel Galan quickly got into the tent.When he was about to sleep, there was a sudden noise, and the guard shouted: "Colonel, someone is coming from the Governor's Mansion." In the past, everything was exchanged by telegram.This time, the British and Indian Governor's Office sent people to the Crusaders, which showed that the matter was extremely important.Colonel Galan climbed out of the tent without even putting on his clothes. Under the moonlight, he saw that it was General McGory who came.General McGory led a light cavalry of fifty men, galloping forward, the horses and men were panting. Colonel Galan asked: "General, you ran all the way, didn't you encounter Tibetans intercepting you?" General McGory shook his head and said, "The Crusaders have completely defeated Tibet. Colonel, you are amazing, you are the pride of the British Empire." Colonel Galan said proudly: "In another month at most, we will be able to reach Lhasa." General McGory said with a smile: "I came here to tell you that we did not fight to Lhasa, but entered Lhasa peacefully. We have already won." He took out a document from a leather case on his back, "God has watched over this war with His love. The bloodshed and death should end. We have signed a treaty with China." Colonel Galan grabbed the treaty, looked at it a few times, and said loudly: "Light, light." The guard came up holding a lantern with a glass cover. General McGory pointed down and said: "This is the handprint of Wen Shuo, the Minister in Tibet. Wen Shuo represents China and is the highest official in Tibet. We finally convinced him. How do you know?" He swallowed the words again go back. Colonel Galan couldn't help saying: "Okay, okay." While reading the treaty, he thought to himself: Good God, just when our British soldiers were completely knocked down at an altitude of 4,600 meters, and he had to use mercenaries as the main force to die. All the more worried about whether the attack would work, but the war ended miraculously.He carefully read every word of the treaty several times, and of course he was most interested in the last one: "The property and goods of the British and Indian merchants entering Tibet must be safe and sound. For this reason, the British side is obliged to send an army to protect the British people." The Indian merchants will go where the merchants go." That is to say, there is still a reason for the Crusaders to exist, and he will continue to move forward until he enters Lhasa under the pretext of protecting the merchants.He suddenly raised his head, looked at General McGory, and said vigilantly, "Why did you come to deliver the treaty in person?" What he thought was that General McGory's sudden appearance was to replace his role in Tibet? General McGory didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "As a soldier, if he wants to excel, he must not only be brave, but also have wisdom. There is a Chinese saying that you can win without fighting. This is the highest skill of a soldier." "Without the bloody battle of the Crusaders, this treaty could not have been signed." "Maybe, no, of course, it's common sense." "Then please go back and tell the Governor General that I will guarantee the safety of the lives and properties of all British and Indian business people. If the Tibetans do not abide by the treaty, I will deal with it properly." "I want to stay and go forward with you. But please rest assured that among your Crusaders, I am no longer a general, but at most a captain who leads the charge. Please call me Captain McGory. Willing to obey the Colonel's orders at all times." Colonel Galan breathed a sigh of relief: it is not a replacement, but a joint journey.That's easy to handle, the Crusaders were formed by him alone.Everyone was used to taking orders from him, not from General McGory, who represented the London Army.What's more, the general may be more interested in the pure gold quality of Tibetan Gandhara sculptures than in military power and Lhasa, let alone a "Babylonian prisoner" in Tibet.He tentatively asked, "What advice does the general have for establishing a Christian world in Tibet?" "I'm sorry Colonel, I'm not a priest." "What God needs most is a priest in military uniform. I hope that when I arrive in Lhasa, I can fulfill Jesus' determination and find the Jewish Sagson in Tibet." "Jewish Sugson? Seems like an old theological topic." Colonel Galan put the treaty in his leather case and said: "I will take the treaty and show it to all Tibetans, let them get out of the way, get out of the way." Then he said to the guards around him, "Notify all who participated in the Crusade Merchants, the day when the British take over the whole of Tibet is the time when the Tibetans will empty their teapots and wait for the British to gift tea. I want the merchants to see who is between Christ and them in this God-blessed time I ask them to go forward bravely and open the commercial port to Gyantse, to Lhasa, and to the whole of Tibet.” A guard hurried away.Colonel Galan said again, "There is also Lieutenant Rong He, he must be with me tonight. I want him to escort the first group of merchants to the front of the Crusaders. Do you hear me, go find it." Lieutenant Rong He still didn't come.Go to his guard and say, "No one knows where the lieutenant has gone." Colonel Galan said: "Is he lying down and can't get up? No way, he is different from other British people. Oh, I remembered, he must be hiding in a tent. This tent is far away from all The tents are all far away. Go, quickly find this tent." The guard left, and he shouted again, "Forget it, forget it, don't look for it, and I will give him a holiday."
