Before the peaceful liberation of Tibet, the Tibetan army was the armed force of the Tibetan local government. Its representatives were all served by nobles. Although they had received military training from foreigners, they had little actual combat experience and poor command skills. The soldiers served on a job basis and were inherited from generation to generation.
The Tibetan army is large and has a lot of internal hierarchies. The relationship between officers and soldiers is tense. "Ulas" are sent during marches. They are stationed to disturb the masses. The relationship between the army and the people is bad. Most of their equipment are British weapons from the First World War. One was purchased from India on the eve of liberation.
A batch of British rifles, machine guns, mortars and other weapons and ammunition used in World War II. The Tibetan army has weak firepower and backward communication methods. There are very few radio stations. However, the Tibetan army is mostly professional soldiers with good shooting skills and good individual soldiers.
Fight, adapt to the plateau environment, live a simple life, use horses instead of horses, maneuver quickly, and can also play a harassing role when dispersing guerrillas
When Wang Jiuling captured Xikang, the Tibetan army crossed the Jinsha River to attack Xikang, but they were beaten back later. Then Wang Jiuling gave instructions to sign a peace treaty with the Tibetan army, because they could not defeat it at the moment and did not know much about the situation there.

In the subsequent construction period, Wang Jiuling built several roads to Batang and then to Mangkang on the other side of the Jinsha River to facilitate trade. He also built another road to Dege at the foot of Que'er Mountain, using the same method.
The road was built to Jiangda in Qamdo
This was the first batch of roads to be built. Wang Jiuling mobilized hundreds of thousands of laborers to build a road in an important place. In addition, Wang Jiuling tried his best to use machinery to do it, so the road construction went smoothly, while the surrounding ethnic minorities worked hard.
They also took money, and it would be easier for them to go out once the road was built. Such a good thing was of course very important to them, but the majority of the labor force was Han Chinese.
When dealing with the Tibetan issue, Wang Jiuling has always believed that everyone is equal, regardless of Manchu, Han, Hui or Tibetan. However, he absolutely cannot tolerate uncontrolled party, religious and sectarian forces under his rule.
For those people who forget that there is only one word, "kill". On this issue, Wang Jiuling resolutely implements the creed of "those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish." Wang Jiuling knows that he is now preparing for a national war, and there is no tolerance for this.
Any failure, let alone because the management is too easy, should not let the opponents get on the nose.
Therefore, later Wang Jiuling's Xikang Army has been encircling and suppressing these uncontrolled armed forces, and its combat effectiveness has also been significantly strengthened. This army was organized into the Plateau Army, with about 30,000 people, a considerable number of whom are ethnic minorities who support the country.
, they benefited from the arrival of the Xikang Army
The troops have been tempered, and with the training of the Germans, their combat effectiveness has been further improved. Moreover, these people are now literate, know why they are fighting, and have become a group of thoughtful soldiers.
Let’s talk about the Xikang Army. After the peace agreement was signed, they immediately followed Wang Jiuling’s instructions to prevent people from infiltrating into Tibet, collect intelligence from there, and bribe people there.
In terms of economy, when industry did not develop, only tea and other products were imported into Tibet in large quantities, and other products were from Britain.
Later, Xikang's industry developed, and a large number of items flowed into Tibet. In addition to guns and ammunition, iced black tea, textiles, etc. were of high quality and low price. Even the compatriots in Tibet did not dare to believe that these were produced by China.
Recently, two popular movies were screened in Tibet for free, which greatly shocked the Tibetan people. Although many people did not speak Chinese and had never heard of it, the commonality of their cultures made them
You can tell at a glance that it is a Chinese film. The soundtrack and the actor's handsome and scumbag movements are so enviable. Originally, the British were domineering in Tibet, as well as those slave owners.
In response to this situation, Wang Jiuling and others asked businessmen lurking there to do business, most notably McDonald's, to organize an event, the Big Eater Contest. The one who ate the most could participate in a trip to Xikang, all for free.
However, most of the slaves here are not fully clothed and don’t have enough to eat. If there is such an event, they will definitely sign up to participate. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people will be necessary. Wang Jiuling cannot afford to lose. At the same time, those slaves have no personal freedom, even if they win
There is no time to go
So the last person to participate must prove that they are free agents and win at the same time. Only the top 100 people can go to Xikang, and they can get a bonus of three oceans.
In the end, a thousand people were determined to participate in the competition. They were basically free farmers and businessmen, as well as family members of slave owners or themselves. Of course, others were not allowed to participate in the competition on their behalf.
The 100 winners were quickly selected, and McDonald's employees organized a trip to Xikang for them to visit a firearms factory, an artillery factory, a pistol factory, etc., and these gave them a huge shock. Those machines making guns
It was so fast, they only saw the rifles coming out one by one, and of course the instructor explained to them the monthly production volume of rifles in the arsenal. When they heard that 300,000 rifles could be produced in a month, their jaws dropped.
After coming down, there were artillery and so on. They visited them one by one.
Then I took them to shoot guns. I played with them all in the Chinese formal, red star, black star, and mortars. Then I went to play with armored vehicles. It was so awesome.
There was also a plane. A few people got on it and fainted from fear. Others did not dare to play. In addition, they went to hot springs and so on. I spent half a month in Xikang and spent Wang Jiuling who knows how much money, but finally
Send these people away
When these people left, everyone was wearing clothes given by Xikang. The men were given a Black Star pistol, and the women were given a Red Star pistol with fifty rounds of bullets. In addition, they were given an album of photos taken when they played in various places.
There are photos of them shooting and shooting, photos of them soaking in hot springs, photos of them fainting on airplanes, etc.
In the past, they always heard how good Britain and Soviet Russia were, but they were all heard and never seen. But today they saw the living standards of Xikang. They went to the countryside and everyone wore new clothes. That was still the case.
In the countryside, there are many people like them who come from slave-owning families and can only have enough to eat. And after they eat the food in Xikang, they no longer want to eat the food at home.
After these people returned, they were not in vain that Wang Jiuling spent so much money on them. They showed off to their neighbors one by one, took out photo albums to share with others, and often took out their pistols to show off.
Soon Lhasa knew that China was very powerful. He didn't dare to say anything else. He just said that the gun was much better than the weapons sent by the Yin people to the slave owners. Those weapons sent by the Yin people were simply rubbish.
Those slave owners didn't like it after seeing it. They used to show it off, but now they are too embarrassed to show it off.
All this was sent back to the headquarters by Dongchang intelligence personnel and reported to Wang Jiuling. Wang Jiuling smiled knowingly, and smiled very obscenely.
