The Qing army broke the city in a battle, and all the seven thousand elite soldiers who had no time to evacuate were wiped out. Dirsumsheer was killed, and the Qing army was advancing from Jilang to Resova. Upon hearing the news, Gurkha Prime Minister Zhong Bahadur couldn't help but be shocked, feeling like the sky was falling!

This time, Gurkha invasion of Tibet was a battle of tyranny. Not only did he suppress all his troops, but he also spent all his financial resources to purchase a large number of weapons and ammunition from the British from Batra and Kolkata. He died in one battle of 7,000, almost half of the casualties. Not only did he not bear it, Gurkha could not bear such huge losses!

Needless to say, the Qing army must have come straight to Duyangbu. Zhong Bahadur was panicked. It was obvious that the Qing army's combat power was far higher than that of the Gurkha army, otherwise it would not have suffered such a big defeat. This battle could not be fought any longer. We must beg for peace as soon as possible to get the Qing army to retreat.

Resova is a key stronghold for the Gurkha Army and is also a natural danger. The mountains are high and the river is deep and the water flows are fast. The Gurkha Army has set up a cable bridge on the Resova River and built watchtowers along the banks of the river. Since the Qianlong period, Fukang'an led a large army to invade Gurkha, the Gurkha Army has built three watchtowers in Resova and strengthened its defense. There were eight watchtowers on both sides of the north and south.

As a vanguard, Gong Deshu led his troops to Resova, and then organized artillery troops to attack the watchtowers on the north bank. In the battle of Jilang, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Knowing that the Gurkha army was brave, he also learned a lot of lessons and learned to give full play to the advantages of artillery and Minnie guns, and launched a long-distance attack from 300 meters away.

With the powerful firepower advantage, in less than half an hour, the three watchtowers on the north bank collapsed under the bombardment of artillery. The Gujun could not bear the pain of being beaten but not fighting back. He left more than a hundred corpses and retreated to the south bank in panic. However, when they evacuated, they drew wooden boards on the iron chain bridge.

It was this move again. Gong Deshu looked at the narrow and swaying iron chain bridge with a playful look on his face. During the Qianlong period, Fukang'an led a large army into Tibet and attacked Gurkha and attacked Resova. The Gujun used this move. At that time, Fukang'an sent Tibetan soldiers to detour across the river from the upper reaches and attacked both sides to cross the iron chain bridge. Now, it is much simpler, and cannons are bombarded together.

"Howitzers are prepared to prevent the enemy from destroying the iron chains." Gong Deshu said in a deep voice: "In addition, seize the time to level the ground and build artillery positions."

Senggelinqin, who was waiting, led most of the troops to Resova. Land war artillery entered the prepared artillery position one after another under the drag of horses. Before the cannon was fired, the Kuo Army, who was huddled in the opposite watchtower, began to flee in a complete range.

The army crossed the Hexao Iron Cable Bridge and pursued it all the way, just like a nobody, chasing a hundred and sixty miles to Xiebulu. The envoys of Gurkha arrived quickly and finally arrived.

Senggelinqin did not understand Tibetan, and he had no intention of stopping the army at all. So he just lazy to see Gurkha envoy and sent Hethe to receive him. Soon, Hethe rushed to the central army's tent to report, "Gurkha requested to be sincere and promised to never commit crimes again. King Gurkha, the Prime Minister, is willing to go to Beijing to pay 5 million rupees for compensation, begging the general to withdraw his troops."

"Five million rupees? Two million taels of silver are not enough, and I want us to withdraw our troops?" Senggelinqin sneered: "Has Zhong Bahadur kicked his brain by a donkey? Ten thousand troops entered Tibet, people ate horses, chewed ammunition, and soldiers were killed and killed. I wanted to pass the two million silver?" After a slight salute, he said in a deep voice: "Drive out!"

The Qing army refused to negotiate, as Zhong Bahadur expected, when Fu Kang'an led a large army to invade Gurkha, he also refused to negotiate peace. He also repeated the same trick and mobilized troops to set up defenses on the Qing army's offensive route. He did not dare to expect a turnaround. He hoped to delay time, because winter was coming soon, and as long as he could hold up the Qing army, he could protect Duyangbu!

Fukang'an failed in the past and stopped in Navakot, only one day away from Duyangbu, Gurkha Country. In the end, he was in a stalemate and stopped when he saw the good news and accepted Gurkha surrender.

Senggelinqin naturally would not make this mistake again, but he did not change his march route and still followed Fukang'an's march route back then. He knew very well that to annex the Gurkha, he must completely destroy the Gurkha army. For him, the most feared thing was that the Gurkha army escaped, which was endless troubles! The Gurkha army intercepted along the way, but it was exactly what he wanted!

More than 10,000 Qing troops advanced rapidly, winning seven battles and seven victories, and in half a month, the army was at Putra, Duyang, the Gurkha Kingdom! The Prime Minister Zhong Bahadur, who actually controlled the military and political power of Gurkha, committed suicide in despair. As a puppet Gurkha King Sulundra opened the city gate and welcomed the Qing army into the city.

Shanghai, Zhenhai Gongfu, Changle Bookstore.

Cao Gensheng walked into the room with an excited expression and smiled: "The shopkeeper, Mr. Wei, report the victory. The monk king captured Duyangbu, Gurkha Country, Prime Minister Zhong Bahadur committed suicide, Gurkha King Sulundra submitted a letter to surrender." As he said that, he quickly handed over the telegram.

"Okay! OK!" Yi Zhizu said twice with a smile on his face. Taking Gurkha and capturing Yangbu was equivalent to laying a nail in southern Tibet! He obtained a bridgehead! The climate of Gurkha Yangbu is much stronger, with an altitude of only more than 1,000 meters, which is far lower than that of Lhasa and Zashrumbu, and farther than that of convenient garrisons.

By the beginning of next spring, the annexation of Sikkim and Bhutan will not only be enough to ensure safety, but also be much closer to Assam, which will help regain Assam, the British tea base in Asia!

Assam originally belonged to Myanmar and was seized by the British. However, if we want to recapture Assam in justification, we can finally solve the Myanmar problem.

Seeing his smile, Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment before reminding him: "The monks occupied Gurkha, and the Taiping Army disrupted the situation in Myanmar. Isn't the Lord worried that the British will cause trouble?"

The British were in trouble? Yi Shizuo smiled, "Gurkha was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Gurkha sent troops to invade and the imperial court sent troops to pacify it. Its nature is to quell the rebellion in the country, and it belongs to the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty. What should the British do?

Myanmar is also a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Army itself is a rebel and is also an internal affairs. Even if the British are worried about endangering Britain's interests in Myanmar, they will not resolve the problem through diplomatic means, and they will only resort to force!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Gensheng and ordered: "Give the call to the Military Bureau. In order to ensure safety and to avoid the British controlling Gurkha, Gurkha must be included in the Qing Dynasty. It is recommended that the King of Gurkha be the prince, the capital be the magistrate, or, directly kill it and completely destroy the Gurkha Shah dynasty. I tend to the former."

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, the progress of laying wired telegrams must be accelerated. The two supply lines in Sichuan, Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet cannot be slackened by the great victory, especially the Qinghai-Tibet Line, which must ensure that large amounts of supply materials are transported to at any time."

After waiting for Cao Gensheng to leave, Wei Yuancai said: "The transportation of supplies from Sichuan and Qinghai to transport them is very expensive, and it takes a long time. Judging from the map, Gurkha is not far from the sea."

"Gurkha is not far from the sea, and Kolkata is also a good port." Yi Zhizu said and shook his head slightly, "However, that place was occupied by the British, and it is not easy to take it over."

The capital, the Forbidden City, the Ganqing Palace, and the Western Warm Pavilion.

Xianfeng sat cross-legged on the kang, spread out several telegrams on the table and looked carefully. The telegrams were all from Senggelinqin, Minister of Service in Tibet Manqing, Dalai Lama-Kezhu Gyatso, Minister of Assistant Hethe.

The victory was a great victory, annihilated more than 13,000 Gurkha troops and captured Duyangbu, the country of Gurkha. This was something Qianlong did not do. Even the Dalai Lama Kaizhu Gyatso sent a telegram to congratulate him. Xianfeng was naturally particularly happy. Moreover, the Senggelinqin who led the troops to Tibet this time, and the New Army of the Three Thousand Eight Banners, but it was a real achievement of the court!

However, Senggelinqin, Manqing and Hethe mentioned the significant increase in the quota of foreign soldiers, which made him feel a little uneasy and uneasy! Two brigades, with 15,000 people, originally had 3,000 quota, and expanded 12,000 quota, imitating the organization and training of the new Eight Banners Army, all the weapons and ammunition of foreign soldiers were supplied by Yuan Qi, and the unity remained unchanged.

This is simply a great thing to lose money from the sky, but Xianfeng was not at all at ease. Minnie guns are good things, land war artillery and howitzers are all good things, but these good things become waste when they lose ammunition. They are expanding new troops in large numbers just to annex several small vassal states around? Or is it that Yi Zhizu wants to get involved?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision. He glanced at Peng Yunzhang who was kneeling below and said, "What do you think about the increase in the foreign soldiers?"

Peng Yunzhang's kneeling legs were a little numb. After hearing this, he realized that Xianfeng was struggling about this matter and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think that the foreign soldiers are increasing their quota to annex several small vassal states in southern Tibet. There are not only foreign soldiers, but also local soldiers and monk soldiers."

This sentence hit the nail on the head, and Xianfeng suddenly realized that if the foreign soldiers were not allowed to increase their quota, Yuan Qi would definitely turn around to support him. The Panchen Lama's monks and local soldiers would be even more trouble! That is to say, he had no room for rejection at all!

"Emperor." An eunuch reported at the door: "Mu Yin handed over a sign and asked for a visit, saying that there was a Shanghai telegram."

When a call came from Shanghai, Xianfeng gave a special order and submitted it as soon as possible. He immediately said, "Let him come in."

Seeing that it was empty, Peng Yunzhang bowed gently and said, "Your Majesty, the telegram is fast and it is a matter of trouble. The military situation is heavy. I beg you to pray for the military machine to increase the number of staff."

After hearing this, Xianfeng realized that the Military Affairs Office should really add new people. Yi Xin stopped the duty, Mu Zhang A was sick, Lin Zexu went to Henan to control the river, Ruilin was re-appointed as General Xi'an. Now the Military Affairs Office has only four military aircraft, Peng Yunzhang, Mu Yin, Du Han, and Wen Qing, and Wen Qing is still a new one.

Nowadays, Heilongjiang uses troops, and many troubles in the southwest, and many things in the northwest, Shandong provides disaster relief and Henan manages rivers, things are complicated and they have to be dealt with quickly. The four of them are indeed a little too busy. He secretly thought that Bai Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was a suitable candidate, and Su Shun, who is familiar with Yi Shizuo, and stayed in the Nanyang Navy for several years. Letting Su Shun enter the military aircraft is also a signal - a signal to ease the relationship with Yuanqi.

After thinking a little, he spoke: "I wrote the order to write a letter to Bai Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to be the military officer, and Su Shun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to study and enter the military officer."

"I am obeying the order." Peng Yunzhang was secretly surprised. Prince Gong Yixin entered the military aircraft and broke the ancestral system that the prince was not allowed to interfere in politics. Yixin stopped the ancestral system and let Sushun enter the military aircraft. This broke the ancestral system that the children of the royal family were not allowed to interfere in politics. He did not dare to talk too much. After all, Yixin could enter the military aircraft. Why couldn't Sushun?

Furthermore, Bai Hu, Minister of Revenue, and Su Shun, both agreed to the imperial missions to the West. It seems that Xianfeng took this opportunity to express his attitude.

After Mu Yin came in to see the ceremony, he immediately submitted a telegram sent by Yi Zhizu from Shanghai. After reading it, Xianfeng said without thinking much, "Return the call, allow it. Forward it to Senggelinqin."

Xianfeng was not too resistant to annexation of the vassal states. If the Qing Dynasty did not annexation, the British and Russians would also annexation. However, there were many vassal states in the Qing Dynasty, and the food should not be too ugly and could not cause panic among other vassal states.

Seeing that Xianfeng was so casual, Mu Yin hurriedly said, "Emperor, in this way, there will be more princes in the capital."

"Are you trying to say that it is contrary to the ancestral system of a different surname that does not be named kings?" Xianfeng looked at him and said in a calm tone: "The vassal king is a prince, so he can't be demoted to a duke. Besides, there are fewer people who violate the ancestral system?"

Bai Wei and Su Shun's order to enter the military service caused a great sensation in the capital. The most important thing in the capital is the talent. Xianfeng clearly told the officials in the court clearly that he agreed to go to the West. There was no need to say that Bai Wei was the Minister of Revenue, and he supported the mission to the West. He had nothing to say about the military service.

What is surprising is that Sushun entered the military service. Although there was a ancestral system in which the royal family was not allowed to interfere in government affairs in the Qing Dynasty, there were also a ancestral system in which the prince was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Prince Gong Yixin could even break the ancestral system in the military service. There was nothing to be surprised about when the royal family was the child of Sushun entered the military service.

The problem is that Sushun has been working idle jobs in recent years and has not done any serious jobs, let alone political achievements. Why did Xianfeng break the ancestral system that the children of the royal family are not allowed to interfere in government affairs and let Sushun enter the military service?

What is most exciting is the children of the royal family in the capital. After the ancestral system of the royal family's unauthorized intervention in government affairs is broken, does it mean that the spring for the children of the royal family has arrived?

As the person involved, Su Shun calmed down after being happy. After careful consideration, he left the mansion in vain and went to the telegraph office in the capital, and sent a secret letter to Yi Zhizu, which was both a good news and an inquiry.

Others don’t know why he was able to enter the military aircraft, but he himself knew very well. The reason why Xianfeng made him enter the military aircraft was because of his relationship with Yi Zhizu. Whether he could establish a foothold in the military service depends entirely on the relationship between the court and Yuan Qi, and on the strength of Yi Zhizu’s support for him!
