Chapter 96 fourth quarter

After Lama Lama, the front-line supervisor, galloped to Gyantse, he first went to the Zongben compound.Zongben didn't know that he was the new front-line commander, and he didn't explain it clearly, or he couldn't explain it himself, so he asked directly where Gyantse's troops were stationed? Gyantse Zongben Yancuo said: "How can you ask me where the garrison is? What do I know as a civil servant? You can ask Rinang Manor and Poal Manor. If there is a garrison, you will borrow barley and butter from them." Another burst of galloping. Rinang Wangqin, the owner of Rinang Manor, told him: "There was a military force before, but now there are no more. You should ask Mrs. Po'ale of Poal Manor about such matters."

Lama Lama came to Poal Manor again, where he unexpectedly met Ergalon. Ergalon had already learned of the results of the Lhasa public meeting from his cronies who rushed to report the news, and said with a mournful face: "The force I have now is only less than a hundred people. The guards in charge are all handed over to you. The guards will follow me. I want to eat and drink the manor. I am no longer the frontline manager, so I have no obligation to support them." Lama Xijia took the chief guard handed over to him and walked towards the most famous building in Gyantse, Zongshan Castle.

There are people in the castle, the remnants of the militia led by Rob Tsering.Most of the remnants are subordinates of Kanqiongdaiben.The ghost knows what Kanqiong Daiben did. So many militiamen died on the battlefield, but he kept his troops intact. Rob Tsering sat on the grain bag, drinking buttered tea, glanced at the Lama Lama striding in, and said listlessly: "You also retreated? I thought you would chase the foreign demon to the south. Go all the way out of Tibet." Lama Lama ignored him, glanced at the guns, ammunition and food piled up in the main hall and side halls and said, "Finally, I see what I need. But what about people? I need troops, as many as the stars in the sky. "

Kanqiong Daiben said: "The troops needed by the Great Lama must be mobilized by the frontline chief." La Liga said: "Now I am the frontline supervisor. Tell me, how many people do you have here?" Kanqiong froze for a moment, and asked worriedly: "Are you the front-line chief? So there has been a change in Lhasa, and the regent re-appointed the front-line chief?" Li Jia said: "I was not appointed by the regent, but by the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama ordered me to mobilize the three major forces of Tibetan soldiers, monk soldiers, and militiamen to drive the foreign demons out of Tibet with the speed of lightning and thunder."

Kanqiong was surprised: "But how can the Dalai Lama bypass the regent?" Li Jia impatiently repeated the words of the Lama in yellow: "Why don't you even know this? The Dalai Lama is now in power, and there is no regent in Tibet." As he spoke, he couldn't help but choked up a sob. When Kanqiong Daiben heard it, he seemed to have received some kind of pre-set signal, and shouted: "Come here." Immediately, a group of subordinates rushed out from every corner of the castle.Kanqiong pointed to Rob Tsering and said, "Catch him, hurry up." In fact, there was no need for Kanqiong to urge them, those people already knew what they should do, and before Rob Tsering had any reaction, they rushed over and grabbed him. over him.

Lama Lama said in amazement: "What are you doing? Rob Tsering is the younger brother of the regent, and he is here to fight the foreign demons. Let go, let go." Kanqiong said: "Listen to me, Grand Lama, this is an order from Dundup Kalon. The Dalai Lama has already made arrangements. We are just waiting for the day when the Regent will step down." Luobu Tsering understood it as soon as he heard it, and said with a long sigh: "Brother Regent, I am doing this for you." Lama Lama didn't understand why this happened, so he wanted to rescue him. Kanqiong stopped him and said, "Grand Lama, your front-line supervisor was recommended by Dhondup Kalon. You must remember Dhondup Kalon's kindness. Lobu Tsering is going to be handed over to the Dalai Lama, so you should not intervene in the middle."

La Liga said ungratefully: "Just let me be the general manager, and don't give me soldiers and horses. I will let you be such a general manager, do you want?" Kanqiong said: "My lord, the Dalai Lama must not hear these words." Li Jia said: "I was talking to the Dalai Lama. Tell me, where are our troops in Gyantse?" Kanqiong said: "Not anymore, we are the most. But we can't fight foreign demons with you, we have to escort Rob Tsering to Lhasa safely." Lama Xijia turned around and walked out of the castle, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Buddha, we killed so many people in Zachang Gorge just to win three days to concentrate our troops in Gyantse. Now that time has passed, where are the troops in Tibet? Troops, troops, There is no military force, do you want me, the front-line chief, to dig it out of the ground?" He stomped his feet and said, "Tibet has the biggest hell in the world, and there are the most ghosts in the world in the hell. Come out all the ghosts, and I will take you to fight , to defend Tibet. If the foreign demons cannot be driven away, your hell will be gone.” He looked up at the sky again and said, “Heavenly soldiers and generals, don’t forget the rules set by the Buddha: Humans fight, Gods help. Come quickly Help me, I am Lama Lama, the front-line supervisor." After talking, knowing that it would be of no avail, he turned his attention to the chief guard and Captain Mazi he had brought.

"Don't follow me anymore. I don't need your protection. Go home and bring your father, uncle, uncle, elder brother, younger brother and all relatives, friends and neighbors to me. Bring your sixty-year-old Men under the age of thirteen and over are all recruited to me, the sooner the better. If you recruit a fixed (platoon), you will be the fixed (platoon leader); if you recruit a first (company), you will be the first (company commander); If you recruit one Ruben (battalion), you will be Ruben (battalion commander); if you recruit one Daiben (group), you will be Daiben (group); if you recruit five Daiben regiments, you will be the front-line supervisor; if you recruit all the men in Tibet , You are the regent. Captain Mazi, please take a few people to Lhasa, go to the Potala Palace to find the Dalai Lama, and say that I, the Lama Lama, knelt in Gyantse for three days and three nights, begging ghosts not to come, and gods and gods not to come Come on, I have to go alone to fight the foreign demons. Anyway, I am going to die. The fewer people die, the less people die, and the more people die more. There is no one in Tibet. I will use a Lama as a representative, vowing to fight the foreign demons to the end. Go again Go to Tuomei Living Buddha, the chief monk and soldier of mine, and tell me that I want 100,000 monks and soldiers; go to Dundup Kalon, the chief of the militia, and say that I want a million militiamen; go to Kashag, and tell me that I want Tibetan soldiers from all of Tibet. Go, the sooner the better. Listen, everyone, don't ride the horses, the horses are too slow. You ride the eagles in the clouds, ride the whistling wind, come when you go, I'm waiting You guys. There is also the Buddha, who is waiting for you. The Buddha said, whoever comes quickly and brings many people will be a Bodhisattva in the next life, a Bodhisattva who sits on an equal footing with Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, and Vajrapani."

The people in charge of the guard left one after another.Lama Lama, the frontline supervisor, ran down Zongshan Mountain and galloped towards Naining Temple alone. The first battle to defend Gyantse was fought at Naining Temple.Lama Lama was not present when it started. Those who participated in the battle were the surviving troops who followed the Lama Lama from Zachang Gorge, the Living Buddha Lama of Naining Temple, as well as the Qamdo militiamen who came from thousands of miles away, the northern Tibet militiamen, and those who gathered from Gongbujiangda to participate in the battle automatically. more than five hundred militiamen.Numa Daiben, Ouzhu Daiben, Chuchen Daiben, and Jiangcun Daiben organized the initial battle.

They first sent militiamen to control the hills on the east and west sides, and then arranged monk soldiers and some militiamen in and in front of the temple.In front of the temple, simple fortifications were built with stones from the mountain.There is a road next to Naining Temple from the east side to the front, which is the only way for the Crusaders.Of course, you can also go straight through Naining Temple, but the gate of Naining Temple is strong, the walls are thick, and there are many holes for shooting on the upper and lower floors.Under such a three-sided attack layout, more than twenty elite cross soldiers who had just arrived lay dead not far from the gate of the temple.

The Crusaders gave up their attempt to attack the monastery and changed their tactics to attack the hill on the west side with all their strength.The mountain is high but not steep.Colonel Gelan ordered a group of Gurkhas to attack on three sides, and assigned dozens of British armed with four machine guns to go up from behind the mountain.From this angle, the Tibetans on the mountain in the east and in front of the monastery are invisible, and the Tibetans above their heads have to guard against the three-sided attack of the Gurkhas.Xishan quickly fell, and Naining Temple was exposed under the noses of the Crusaders. Ouzhudaiben and Guomu led people to launch three battles to snatch Xishan.For the last time, they rushed to the top of the mountain with their knives, chopped down a dozen Crusader soldiers, and knocked down two machine guns.But then he was driven down the mountain again by the wild sweep of rifles.More than 30 northern Tibetan militiamen were killed on the top of the mountain. At the same time, Colonel Galan ordered an elite force of more than one hundred British troops to break through the gate of the temple and rush towards the main hall under the cover of machine guns on the top of the west mountain. The bloody battle at Naining Temple took place.The militiamen in the main hall and the monks upstairs rushed out, and Lama Xijia, the frontline chief who came in from the back door of the temple, threw away his mount, pulled a thick sutra pole from the ground and rushed over.It was almost three hundred Tibetans against one hundred British, swords and sticks against rifles.The result can be imagined: because the gate of the temple was closed by several lamas of Naining Temple, the British were unable to retreat, and more than a hundred people all died in the open space in front of the main hall.The number of Tibetans killed by rifles was more than double that of the enemy. The Lama Lama did not die, and a person who shouted "Master Daiben is here, Master Daiben is here" protected him.This man cut down five Englishmen in a row, and chopped off an English officer in half.But when he saw Lama Lama, he no longer charged forward alone.Wherever Lama jumped, he followed, sometimes in front of him, sometimes behind him, until the bloody battle was over. Lama Lama suspected that he hindered his fight, and roared angrily: "Why do you always follow me?" The man said, "Grand Lama, I knew you were a great lama just by looking at him." Look at yourself in La Liga: Where do you look like?Wearing such a dirty and shabby cassock.He wiped his face again and looked at his palms, there was a layer of black mud and sweat. The person said: "Your boots, what a magnificent boots, they seem to be the boots of the Great Protector Xiudan in Thangka." Li Jia stared at his boots and said: "What seems to be, it is. It was taken out by Dorje Living Buddha of Chunpi Temple from the seat of Wood King in Dazhong Temple. You weigh it, how heavy it is." He said and took off Come down and let this person weigh it.Then he sat down on the stone steps in front of the main hall, put on his boots, looked at the dead Tibetans and British people, and said loudly with concern: "This is Naining Temple, we can't beat them anymore, and we can't even beat them." win." The person said: "Great Lama, we have killed so many people, and we still say we can't fight anymore. You go tell the foreign demons. If they don't fight, we won't fight." La Liga said: "I am the frontline manager. If I say I can't play, I can't play." The person said: "The frontline supervisor? The frontline supervisor is like you? Dalai Lama, you are so frightened by the foreign demons that you don't want to fight anymore, so they say you are the frontline supervisor. If the frontline supervisor finds out, I will kill you." Li Jia said: "Who says I'm not the front-line supervisor?" Seeing a few monks and soldiers who had withdrawn from Zachang Gorge standing not far away, he beckoned them to come over and said, "Tell this man, who am I?" Of course, those monks and soldiers didn't know that he was the new front-line chief, so they stared at him and said, "You're blind, you don't even know Lama Lama, which battle on the front line wasn't directed by him?" The person was stunned: Is this the Lama Lama who has long been famous all over Tibet?He quickly turned his waist into dried shrimps, stuck out his tongue, and didn't know what to say. Xi Li stretched out his foot and kicked the man and said, "What are you doing? I think you are so bullish and brave." The man said: "My name is Adanima, and I am Daiben. The great lama may not know it. My garrison is in Gangbazong, where there is also my army, a Ruben battalion led by Xiama Ruben." La Liga said: "Then you are not in Gangbazong, what are you doing here?" Adani Madaiben said: "Behind the Naining Temple Mountain is my home. My older brothers and younger brothers fought and wanted to divide up my family's manor. I must lead the troops to live at home, and I will clean up whoever divides the family. I lived for several days. It’s been a year, and I can’t leave. If I leave the manor, there will be nothing. My father won’t let me go, my grandmother won’t let me go, and my wife and children won’t let me go either.” Li Jia said: "Tibet is about to disappear, why are you still guarding the manor? If you are a man, follow my orders and fight against foreign demons." Adanima said: "Then I have to mobilize my older brothers and younger brothers to join the army to fight against foreign demons. I can evacuate the manor only after they leave. The foreign demons occupying Tibet is a small matter, but the brothers' division of the manor is a major matter." La Liga said: "Have you reversed the big things and the small things?" Adanima said: "No, no, Tibet belongs to the Dalai Lama, and the manor belongs to me. If I take the Tibet of the Dalai Lama as my own, then I deserve to die. I know that foreign demons are invading Tibet. But I still want to lead the troops to guard the manor honestly and prevent the family from being separated. I came here today because I wanted to see it, but when I saw the foreign demon, I couldn't help but rush over." La Liga asked: "How many troops did you bring to station in your manor?" Adanima said: "Not many, just one of your camps." Li Jia smiled wryly and said, "Do you regret not bringing all the surrogates to guard your manor? You are a star who does not shine, a shepherd who does not chase wolves." He stood up and said loudly, "Everyone Listen to me, the Tibetan soldiers, monk soldiers, and militiamen. In Gyantse, we have to defend not only Naining Monastery, but also Zijin Monastery, Baiju Monastery and Zongshan Castle. But behind us, the entire Gyantse It is empty and unguarded. Numa Daiben and Ouzhu Daiben obey my orders. You lead the Tibetan soldiers and militiamen to retreat immediately and go to defend the Zijin Temple. Chuchen Daiben obeys my orders. You take your monk soldiers Also leave here and go to defend Baiju Temple, and we must not lose it. Jiangcun will stay with me on behalf of our regiment, and intercept the foreign demons at Naining Temple. We must fight until tomorrow morning. Get ready and evacuate before dark, foreign demons Our cannons will bomb here by tomorrow morning at the latest." In the evening, when Tibetan soldiers, militiamen and some monks and soldiers were evacuating Naining Monastery, Lama Xijia saw Adani Madaiben again.Adanima brought all the regular Tibetan troops who defended his manor, a whole army of Ru's battalion.He appointed his elder brother as Ruben, urged him to follow Ouzhu Daiben, and stayed in Naining Temple by himself. Adanima said to La Liga: "The chief lama of the front line, you can't do without guards, I will protect you."
