"Damn it! What the hell is this!"

Sibo cursed and sweated.

His subordinates were not much better, and their foreheads were steaming like steamers, while they were gasping for breath.

Cewang Alabandan took advantage of the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in Hami and Yongzheng died of internal turmoil, leading troops from Tibet to attack the Western Regions in one fell swoop, intending to avenge the revenge of that year.

From a strategic perspective, Cewang Alabutan's plan was good. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was the weakest. Moreover, the Ming army of Hami was eyeing the Western Regions and could continue to advance west at any time. The Qing Dynasty suffered huge losses after losing Hami, and the emperor changed from Yongzheng to Kant. In Cewang Alabutan's view, under the attack of himself and the Ming army, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was right in front of him.

By the time the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Cewang Alabandan could annex nearly half of the territory and population of the Western Regions in one go. In this way, he became the most powerful force in Tibet and the Western Regions. No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty was, Cewang Alabandan would not be afraid. Moreover, the Junggar tribe and the Ming Dynasty had no old grudges. With his own strength, he would negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. The two sides would use the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary to prevent the well from overturning the rivers and waters, and would be separated.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is skinny. Cewang Alabutan, who was in full force, did not expect that he would lose so quickly and so miserably in the Western Regions.

Faced with the Qing army, Cewang Alabandan only gained a short advantage and was soon beaten by Longkodo, Suken, Hani and other troops. If it weren't for good luck, Cewang Alabandan might have even lost his life in the Western Regions.

Retreat from the Western Regions, Cewang Alabtan suffered heavy losses in his army and generals. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty helped him in the back, otherwise Cewang Alabtan, who had returned to Tibet, would not even be able to sit firmly. But now, after Cewang Alabtan retreated, the Qing Dynasty refused to give in and led his troops directly to Tibet from the Western Regions.

It has been a while since the Qing army entered Tibet. Due to the arrival of winter, the Qing army first occupied a piece of territory after entering Tibet, and then garrisoned, and then continued to attack the Cewang Albutan tribe in the beginning of the next spring.

On the surface, this arrangement seems to be fine. After all, not fighting in winter is a rule of military strategists. The current army is not the army of later generations, and there is no such advanced technology and technology. The Qing army learned from the Ming army to vigorously develop firearms in the past two years, but even if it is a rough existence, it is basically used in marching and fighting.

But who would have thought that the climate in Tibet caused the Qing army to suffer a lot. Even in winter, the weather in Tibet changed too much. During the day, the temperature was 20 to 30 degrees Celsius at night, which means that at minus ten degrees Celsius at night, it actually had a temperature of 00 degrees Celsius at night, and at the hottest time at noon, it actually had a temperature of 00 degrees Celsius at zero.

This climate made the Qing army extremely uncomfortable. It was so cold that it was dying at night and so hot during the day. Just like the current Sibao, at noon, it learned that Tibetans took off half of their sleeves and so on, and wrapped the sleeves directly around their waists, but they were still sweating profusely.

In addition to the large temperature difference, there is another fatal problem. Compared with the Western Regions, Tibet's altitude is too high. As the altitude increases, the oxygen content in the air decreases, and the air pressure is completely different from that in the Western Regions. This person needs to consume a lot of physical strength when he is active in Tibet, and many times he can only take his time. Once he exercises vigorously, the air cannot penetrate.

The problems caused by the plateau climate made the Qing army miserable. In less than two months, the Qing army entering Tibet suffered a thousand people without war. The Qing army that barely endured was not much better. They had long lost their original courage and were as weak as patients who had serious illnesses.

Compared with the Qing army, the Cewang Alabutan tribe who retreated into Tibet was like fish in water in this place, and seemed to be full of vitality.

These days, while the Qing army was not used to the climate in Tibet, Cewang Alabandan led the army to counterattack against the Qing army. Although his counterattack did not have the expected effect under the Qing army's firearms and the waiting force, it brought a lot of trouble to the Qing army.

Xibo's troops were stationed in the eastern area of ​​Tibet to the south. Xibo has been extremely uncomfortable these days. This battle is not only a frustrating battle, but also a terrible thing is that this ghost place makes people too uncomfortable.

Xibao was the new army commander of Yongzheng. He had a great status in the Qing court, and he was also a prince. However, when Yongzheng replaced Xibao and replaced Fu Erdan as the commander of the Western Regions, which made Xibao extremely dissatisfied with Yongzheng.

Later, Fu Erdan was defeated, and the Qing court initiated the Eight Kings' Discussion on Politics. Yongzheng was forced to compromise. At this time, Xibao began to move closer to Kant and others. After Yongzheng's death, he naturally surrendered to Kant.

"Your Majesty, there are two more brothers," Just when Sibao felt irritated, his subordinate came down to report.

"Where is the doctor? A few doctors just came? What does the doctor do for food?"

"Go back to the prince, Doctor Liu himself fell down, and now he can't even get up." The subordinate replied helplessly.

With a bang, Sibo directly smashed the wine pot on the table to the ground, and then stood up angrily.

But as soon as he stood up, he felt his heart was in a hurry and difficulty breathing. In desperation, he quickly pressed his hands on the table, lowered his head and took a big breath a few times to calm himself down.

After a while, Xibao felt a little better. Facing his concerning subordinates, he waved his hand.

"Try to try your best to heal. If it really doesn't work, follow the previous example..."

His subordinate responded and called Qian'er away. After his subordinate left, Xibao sat down again, pressed his swollen temple with his fingers, his face full of sorrow.

"You can't stay here anymore. If you stay there, let alone fight, you won't be able to survive." Sibo said to himself. In fact, he proposed to Longkodo to withdraw his troops from Tibet a month ago, but there is still no news about the withdrawal of troops until now.

If it weren't for the concern that he would break the rules bypassing Longkodo and directly punishing Emperor Kant, Sibao would have done this long ago.

Now, this situation is getting worse. There are more than 4,000 subordinates in Xibao. Almost one fifth of them have fallen one after another these days. Even some strong young officers have been caught.

Adaptation to the plateau climate is not that simple, not to mention that the medical conditions in this era are not as good as those in later generations. Even in later generations, if the symptoms caused by altitude sickness on the plateau cannot be treated as soon as possible, the mortality rate is extremely high.

This situation also happened when the People's Liberation Army entered Tibet. Many outstanding soldiers who had experienced many battles and did not fall in the rain of bullets did not resist the climate of Tibet, and thus remained on this land forever.
