Sichuan Governor Zhao Erxun, Admiral Ma Weiqi, Thirty-three Mixed Association President Zhong Ying and other important Sichuan officials gathered in the Governor's Mansion.
Zhao Erxun's face was grim: "Everyone, I have just received an urgent telegram from Kangding Prefecture from Mr. Zhao Erfeng, the plenipotentiary minister stationed in Tibet and the minister of Sichuan and Yunnan border affairs. According to the secret report, King Bomitu has rebelled again and is gathering rebel troops to attack Ba."
Tang launched an attack! Master Zhao is actively preparing, firstly to defeat the rebels of King Bomitu, and secondly, to take this opportunity to march into Tibet and pacify the entire territory of Tibet! Master Zhao here is short of troops, so please call in our Sichuan army for reinforcements!"
"This is unreasonable!" Ma Weiqi was furious: "Since King Bomitu surrendered to our court, he has rebelled many times. Whenever the situation changes, he immediately surrenders. He has rebelled and surrendered many times and has always been a nuisance to our court. Now he has plotted rebellion again, which is intolerable.
This is intolerable! Even though Ma is old and useless, he is still willing to join our Sichuan Army and fight to the death with King Bomitu!"
"He Laoma Junmen comes personally!" Zhong Ying stood up and said: "Since the new army was organized and trained in Fenghuang Mountain, the new army has been formed! Zhong Ying is willing to lead the Thirty-three Mixed Association to counter the rebellion!"
"Okay!" Zhao Erxun said loudly: "That's what I originally meant. Since the Thirty-three Mixed Associations have been trained, there has been no real battle. Now that Zhong Xietong is willing to go, I have no objections! Zhong Xietong,
Batang is in danger, so go as soon as possible to put down the rebellion!"
"Yes, I humbly accept my order!"
Zhao Erxun pondered for a moment: "Zhong Xietong, that, that king of the first team of the second battalion...Wang Hengyue, he is fighting foreigners and destroying bandits. He is very popular. A few days ago, we were talking to each other.
The foreigners are mixed together, and a small team of officers actually fights side by side with the governor and admiral. It is really majestic. Why doesn't Zhong Xietong use him as the vanguard?"
Zhong Ying was startled. He had heard of Wang Hengyue's name before. It seemed that he had followed Ye Xuanbiao's path and ended up doing some great things in Rong County.
But it is a rare thing for such a small team officer to be personally ordered by Lord Governor Xian...
...
"What? Let my first team be the forward of the entire army?" Wang Hengyue heard the news and did not react for a moment.
"Exactly, I heard that this is the general ordered by the Governor personally."
Wang Hengyue nodded, how could he forget such a thing about Tibet? The Bomi Chief Supervisor, the so-called Bomi Tu King himself was worthy.
According to Tibetan legend, the Bomi Tuwang family originated from Tubo Zampu. As early as when the Xibuye tribe in the Yalong area established the Tubo regime, an independent tribe had been formed in Bowo. After the Tubo Zhigong Zampu was killed, his son Qiachi
He fled to Bowo. More than ten years later, the Xibuye people welcomed Qiachi from Bowo and established him as Zanpu. Bomi was ruled by the descendants of Zhigong Zanpu.
In the early Qing Dynasty, the Bomi region maintained a semi-independent state and was only nominally subordinate to the local government of Tibet. The Bomi Tuwang's jurisdiction included parts of today's Bomi County, Medog County, and Linzhi County.
Controlled eighteen sects. The center of its rule was in Galang Village, Guxiang, Bomi County today, so it was also called the King of Galang. There are ruins of the Galang Palace in the area today. In the 56th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian Junggar army entered
Tibet, the Galang mansion was burned down, and King Bomitu moved to Sowaka.
During the Yongzheng and Qianlong years, the Minister of Residence in Tibet and the Kashag were established, which enabled the local government in Lhasa to unprecedentedly strengthen its dominance over all parts of Uizang. The Kashag established Bowo, Potui, Qingduo and other sects in Lower Bomi, and levied taxes from various places.
, the tribe’s Ula messenger.
In the first year of Daoguang, the Bomi native king Nima Jiebu died of illness and had no heirs. His local officials Zhabu, Qujie Wangqiu Raodan each took their own side, and submitted to the imperial court in the fourteenth year of Daoguang. However, in the following year, Zhabu
Relying on the danger of the terrain, Bu led his people to rob merchants and attack post stations such as Bianba and Shuobanduo. In the 16th year of Daoguang, the officers and soldiers wiped out Zabu's forces. At the same time, he named Wangchuk Raodan as Galang Diba and recognized Bomi.
The power of the Tuwang. After that, the imperial court allowed the Bomi region to only deliver butter to the Kashag.
Since the Jiaqing year, Bomitu kings have gone through seven generations.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Bomi tribe often raided passing merchants and clashed with the Sichuan army. "During the Tongzhi period and the fifth and sixth years of Guangxu period, they surrendered and betrayed many times. Relying on the danger of the territory and the fierceness of the people, they often went out to suppress robberies, burn and kill serious cases.
No age, nothing."
This Bomitu King is a capricious villain. He rebels today and surrenders tomorrow. After rebelling, he surrenders again, and after surrendering, he rebels again.
Minister Zhao Erfeng, who was stationed in Tibet, worked with the Sichuan Army's New Army Thirty-three Mixed Association to suppress the rebellion. This was a great deed done by Zhao Erfeng in his position as minister stationed in Tibet.
But I never expected that my first team would become the forward of the entire army!
"Sir." Yu Lei said worriedly: "Although my first team is small in size, it is still new, and the only battle it fought was against bandits. The students heard that the Tibetan rebels have always been tough, and
It seems that there are English people helping us behind, and their weapons are not inferior to ours at all, otherwise they would not dare to rebel again and again. The students are worried..."
"You have to send troops even if you are worried!" Wang Hengyue interrupted him, his face had never been so solemn: "Whether he is tough or has the help of the British, in short, I must fight this battle, and I must be the vanguard! Fight!
We must fight if we can’t, and we must fight if we can’t!”
His subordinates listened attentively, and Wang Hengyue took a deep breath:
"I will not do anything else that would result in a loss, but this matter is related to the country's territory and the important situation of Tibet. Even if I am the only one left in the first team, I will fight to the end!"
"Yes! If you have been beaten, you have to fight. If you can't, you have to fight!"
Wang Hengyue has never been so eager to fight as he is now!
This battle is not against bandits. If we are not fighting against our own people, we are fighting against rebels!
"Mr. Deng, Qifeng, please hurry up and start mining the salt well without delay." Wang Hengyue ordered.
"yes."
"Yu Lei, Yang Fangyun will stay in Rong County. I will leave you with thirty more soldiers. Your only mission is to stabilize the situation in Rong County!"
"As you command!"
"Deng Xia, Peter, and the armed guards will also stay in Rong County and pay close attention to the training in Guadaoshan. Once there are changes in Rong County, help immediately!"
"Yes!" Deng Xia responded loudly, but Peter kept saying: "Wang, let me go with you!"
Wang Hengyue thought for a moment and left Peter here. God knows what trouble this foreign devil would cause him. After thinking for a while, he agreed to Peter's request:
"The rest of the troops are preparing today to set off for the expedition in the early morning of tomorrow. There should be no delays day and night. They must arrive at Batang as soon as possible!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"And." After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hengyue said again: "This time is different from the bandit suppression. The bandits are launched vigorously. To suppress the rebellion, we might as well quietly leave the city and wait until we leave before letting the people in Rong County know. Let's make sure
They know that we are here to fight the rebels and bandits for the country, and whoever makes trouble at this time will become my enemy!"
