※"Xiao Zhihui had long wanted to touch the British in Lhasa for a long time, but Wu Zhongxin was not sure. The reason for the establishment of the site was very sufficient. The bed-sitting ceremony was the most solemn ceremony of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetans would never tolerate any mistakes in this. The British were not in a day or two, and it would not matter two days later. And using these days, we can investigate the truth and reality of the Tibetan army, laying the foundation for the future rectification of the Tibetan army...

The grand bed-sitting ceremony was held in mid-November. Top figures from all over the world rushed to Lhasa to witness this moment. The noisy religious ceremony could not cover up the tension in Lhasa. More than 20,000 people from the 24th Army surrounded Lhasa from three directions. Zhuang Jihua ordered Xiang Chuanyi to organize a supportive army with a total force of more than 6,000. The commander of Kangbian Reclamation Commander Li Gengu rushed to Lhasa. Li Gengu arrived in Lhasa in mid-December. In this way, Liu Wenhui gathered more than 30,000 troops in Lhasa.

The Sichuan Army's mobilization was not concealed from the Kashag government. Regent Rezhen asked Wu Zhongxin and Liu Wenhui for confirmation. Liu Wenhui told him without any vaguely that it was not the army, but the highway survey team and the guard team. Rezhen left suspiciously.

Wu Zhongxin naturally would not believe it, but Liu Wenhui refused to tell him the truth. He sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and asked Chiang Kai-shek to stop Liu Wenhui. Chiang Kai-shek also felt that under the current situation, the rebellion had dispersed the forces of the War of Resistance, and ordered Liu Wenhui not to provoke trouble in the situation, and political measures should be taken against Tibetans, focusing on winning over them.

Liu Wenhui forwarded Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding full authority to handle ** affairs. "The current pro-central forces and pro-British forces are in stalemate. Our strategy should be to support our pro-British forces and attack our pro-British forces. The main supporters of the pro-British forces are in the Tibetan army. They must disintegrate the current Tibetan army, suppress some Tibetan generals, support our support, and drive the British out of **."

Zhuang Jihua argued from five aspects that the need to take tough measures in the **** is now pointed out that as long as Lhasa is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the entire ***. Liu Wenhui's army not only needs to continue to enter the **, but also continue to go south, enter southern Tibet, and directly to the Tibet-India border. The other unit must go north and station troops at the junction of ** Xinjiang to prepare for handling Xinjiang affairs in the future.

He had no scruples on Zhuang Jihua. Chiang Kai-shek thought about it over and over again. He was really unsure. The Military Commission also demanded caution in this regard. The Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, an institution specializing in handling ethnic minority affairs, also did not agree to take tough measures at this time.

However, just as the senior government officials in Wuhan were discussing, Zhuang Jihua secretly reported to Liu Wenhui and took action immediately, first dealing with the British office and deporting all the British people.

"The Mi Division occupied the commanding heights in the north of Lhasa City, and the prison division occupied the commanding heights in the east of the city, Gejipo. The wizards were in the middle to support them, and the 3rd Division was temporarily organized as the army reserve team. Each unit must complete the deployment before nine o'clock tomorrow."

After Wang Jingyu finished speaking, he returned to his actions. Liu Wenhui calmly laughed and then slowly spoke: "It's no big deal, isn't it just a group of barbarians? It's not seven years of fighting, we're changing guns and cannons, and they're going to stand still. When we fight, I can take down Lhasa in two hours. What about Kashag Living Buddha, I'll just make them a fuss."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the generals present with pride. The generals cooperated and smiled. Liu Wenhui nodded with satisfaction, stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth, and then slowly spoke: "But this is just a prevention. If they don't move, we won't move. We only target the British. Do you understand?"

The generals stood up slightly and replied in unison: "Yes!"

Seven years ago, Liu Wenhui was defeated in the Battle of Kangzang, but Liu Wenhui refused to admit it from the bottom of his heart. That was because his main force was confronting Liu Xiang, and all the elite troops were dragged down by Liu Xiang. Xikang only left a few incomparable troops, and it was natural to lose. But now it is different. In recent years, he bought a lot of equipment from Chongqing, and the main 6th Division and the major divisions were all replaced. All the middle and lower-level officers were received in Chongqing.

Here we must add that at first, Liu Wenhui was worried that Zhuang Jihua would use the name of Peisha to mix sand into his troops and stuff all the officers who came back from Chongqing into Liu Yuantang's troops. But what surprised him was that the combat effectiveness of Liu Yuantang's troops suddenly increased, and they fought very well in the Battle of Kangdian. On the contrary, the better equipment was better, but the Mi Division fought more ugly. This made Liu Wenhui re-examine the officers who were scrambled and reorganized in Zhuang Jihua.

During the Sichuan Army, he increased the number of officers sent to Chongqing to train, and established a military academy in Xikang, allowing veteran officers to serve as instructors, train subordinate officers and soldiers, and imitated Zhuang Jihua to quit smoking and establish culture in the company. In the past few years, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased by several steps. If it weren't for the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he would have been unable to buy equipment from Chongqing, he would have expanded his troops and rekindled his spirit.

Now he has stationed troops at the city of Lhasa with an army of 30,000. The total strength of the Tibetan army is only more than 20,000, and the Tibetan army in Lhasa is only more than 17,000. The weapons and equipment are still broken weapons and equipment in the first battle. In this battle, he has a 100 chance of winning.

More importantly, in Liu Wenhui's view, the Western Expedition was equivalent to expanding the territory for him. Although the territory of the Tibetans was the territory of the Tibetans, there were also many Tibetans in Xikang. Since they could rule Xikang, they could still rule the emperor, so they were willing to obey Zhuang Jihua's orders from the heart, expel the British, and rectify the Tibetan army.

In order not to stimulate the Kashag government too much, Liu Wenhui did not send troops to Lhasa City. All the troops were deployed outside the city. The most dangerous commanding height in Lhasa City was the Potala Palace, but neither the 24th Army nor the Tibetan Army dared to occupy it.

The Regent is the title of Rezhen official title by the Han people, but the Tibetan name is the Regent Rezhen Living Buddha. Like other living Buddhas of **, Rezhen Living Buddha is the living Buddha of Rezhen Temple. Rezhen Temple is more than 200 kilometers north of Lhasa. This temple has a relatively transcendent status in Tibetan Buddhism. Its temple contains almost all Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. The current popular Huang Sect Master Zong Luba, the founder of the Huang Sect, has two disciples, and the Panchen Lama developed in the theory of the Gadang Sect. Rezhen Temple was the first temple of the Gadang Sect at that time. However, after the Huang Sect was prevalent, Rezhen Temple also changed to the Huang Sect to follow the Huang Sect. Religion is also a matter of understanding the current affairs.

After dawn, Rezhen Living Buddha received news that Kalonran Batudengongqin of the Kashag government came to report in a hurry. The Han army surrounded the British office and arrested all the British people in the office. The Han army also posted notices on the streets of Lhasa, ordering all British people to report to the Han army outside the city within three days.

"Living Buddha, what are the Han army doing? The British are our friends. If we cannot protect our friends, God will bring disaster." Tudenggongqin was a little panicked. His team thought that the Han army was targeting the Lhasa government, but they did not expect that they were targeting the British, which made him lose his footing.

Re Zhen closed his eyes slightly and pinched Buddhist beads. As a regent, he was quite clear about the current situation. On the surface, the Han army's large-scale entry into Tibet was a reaction to the conflict some time ago, but in fact it was a counterattack from the central government against the increasingly active British people. It seemed that the central government no longer sat on the watchful eyes of the British inciting the West. This was.

"God will not punish us." Rezhen opened his eyes and said slowly: "The Han people are also our friends, and they are our government.

"But Tudengongqin didn't expect Rezhen to be in a hurry at all, so he changed his tone and said, "Living Buddha, the British are here to watch the ceremony, we are our guests, and we Tibetans cannot allow guests to be insulted.

Before Rezhen could speak, Chief Kalon monk Danba Jiangyang, Chief Silunlangdon Gonggawangqiu, Kalon Pingcidan Doji and Kalon Pengkang Tashidorji also came together.

"Regent" Cidan Doji took out a document: "This is a notice from General Liu Wenhui, commander of the Han army.

"Notice?" Rezhen raised his eyes without expression and said calmly: "You can read it to everyone."

Cidan Doji opened the document and said, "Register Rezin and Langdon Silun, the Kashag government, and the British Office in Lhasa for illegal establishment, the Chinese central government has never recognized that after the establishment of the institution, it has provoked right and wrong in Lhasa and alienated the relationship between Tibet and Han, which is extremely harmful and is very evil. Now our army is ordered to close the office and expel the office staff. In order to keep the operation confidential, we have not notified in advance, so that the Regent and the Silun Kashag forgive me. Lieutenant General Liu Wenhui, the commander of the 24th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and deputy director of the Xikang Camp.

Gongga Wangqiu's already gloomy face shone with a black light. He was so angry that he was so humble that he grabbed the documents and pulled them into pieces in two strokes.

"It's too much to bully people! It's too much to bully people!" Turning around and shouted in front of Re Zhen, "We Tibetans have never been bullied by people. If we mobilize our warriors, we Tibetans will never accept such humiliation."

Gongga Wangqiu's confidence makes sense. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Tibetan army and the Sichuan army have had two confrontations and won twice. The first of which was during the Yuan Shikai period. Nearly 10,000 troops entered Lhasa. The Tibetan army confronted the "army with the support of the British. Tibetans from all over the country went to aid, and Tibetans in the rear cut off the supply line of the Sichuan army. The British ambassador protested to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai was forced to order the Yunnan army and the Gansu army to stop advancing, which eventually led to the Sichuan army's solitary hand in Lhasa, and the ammunition and food were difficult to continue. They retreated from Lhasa and fought hard along the way. In the end, less than half of them returned to Sichuan.
