Chapter 362 Lamaism (5)

Longxia Dorjicijie was born in a noble family in Sulong, Houteng (now Dana area of ​​Xietongmen County). He was a descendant of Suqiong Xiraozhaba (one of the three major living Buddhas of the Red Sect in ancient Tibet). In the late Qing Dynasty, he became Zikangzaba.

In 1914, the fourth-rank official Longxia was appointed as the leader of the 13th generation, and led four Tibetan noble young men (Menchong Qinraogongsang, Jip Robwangdui, Qiang Oba Renzengduoji, Guokarva Solanggongbu) to study in the UK. This was the first time that Tibet officials sent international students to study in Europe and the United States. Longxia immediately went to the UK with his wife, and then went to France, Italy and other countries. During his time in the UK, he was responsible for urging four international students to study, making them talents in exploration of minerals, motors, communications, military and other fields. After returning to Tibet in 1917, he was highly valued by the 13th generation. In 1920, he was promoted to Ziben, and later he was called "Ziben Longxia".

Strictly speaking, although 35-year-old Long Xia had studied in the UK, he was not a separatist mentioned in history books. As for his pro-British political appearance, he was more just to cater to the needs of the 13th Lama. Perhaps it was the strong performance of the British army and the weakness of the Qing government that deeply shocked the Buddha. In short, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the 13th-year-old Lord, who personally served as the regent, had changed from being an anti-British politically to being an anti-British politically. Long Xia, who relied on the 19th-British politically, followed closely without hesitation, and finally followed with the British. In other words, if Lord Wu suddenly decided to oppose Britain tomorrow morning, I believe Long Xia would also follow it without hesitation.

However, Long Xia was also very annoyed recently. After regaining Changdu, the 13th generation ** was very satisfied with the Tibetan army's performance in defeating the Han army. In his opinion, as long as there is good equipment and training, the Tibetan army can still become an invincible army. Therefore, under the leadership of the British Commissioner Bell in Sikkim, Long Xia was appointed to participate in the formation of a new Tibetan army. However, since the previous year, the British stopped aid of arms and materials, and did not even give a reason. He negotiated with Bell several times, and the other party also said that he could not continue to provide a part of the arms and could only provide a part of the arms through transactions. Another confidant Xia Zha, Banjue Dorji Kalon, was a serious pro-British faction. This Xia Zha immediately began to plunder wealth throughout Tibet to buy goods from the British. In this way, the nobles who were damaged in their interests were very dissatisfied with this. Naturally, these nobles did not dare to trouble Lord **, and most of them came to Xia Zha and Long Xia. In fact, Long Xia was also very dissatisfied with Xia Zha's approach, because Beijing at that time had no ability to threaten Tibet. In his opinion, Xia Zha's behavior was not so much a Tibetan army to resist the Han people, but rather an opportunity to expand his power.

Longxia performed as usual on the morning. More than 400 strong Tibetan men dressed in new British military uniforms, wearing British belts, and Tibetan hats stood in a neat manner. This unit is the guard regiment of the 13th generation **, the first Tibetan army regiment, called Kadammaga in Tibetan. This unit was to form 1,000 people as planned, but in fact only 40% of the organization task was completed. The quota was very large. Here we might as well talk about the organization of the Tibetan army: the Tibetan army's number name is "Maga", which means "barracks" and "barracks", which is equivalent to the regiment. The largest "Maga" has 1,500 people, the slightly larger one is 1,000 people, and most of them are 500 people. There were only ten regiments at the beginning. In the order of thirty letters in Tibetan, the Tibetan army's divisions are called:

Kadammaga, the first regiment; Kadammaga, the second regiment; Kadammaga, the third regiment; Yadmaga, the fourth regiment;

Jiadangmaga, the fifth regiment; Qidangmaga, the sixth regiment; Jiadangmaga, the seventh regiment; Qidangmaga, the eighth regiment;

To fight Dangmaga, the ninth regiment; to attack Dangmaga, the tenth regiment;

The most common Tibetan army numbers appeared in history. Before and after the Battle of Chamdo in the autumn and winter of 1950, when the Tibetan government expanded its troops, it expanded to 16 regiments "Maga", which increased by 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 regiments. Because 12 in Tibetan means illness and is unlucky, there is no organization of the 12 regiment.

And their positions also refer to the standards of the new army:

Maga (Tibetan means barracks, regiments), the commander is the errand, and the meaning of Tibetan means archer or bow leader (equivalent to regiment leader)

Ruka (Tibetan means team, battalion), the commander is Ruben, and the meaning of Tibetan means troops (equivalent to battalion commander)

School A (Tikong means a unit of 100 people), the chief officer is A, and the Tibetan means a hundred light leader (equivalent to the company commander)

Decree school, Xieao (Tibetan means small unit), the chief is the decree book, and the Tibetan means the team leader (equivalent to the platoon leader)

Nine schools (Tibetan means ten people unit), the chief officer is nine books, and the Tibetan means ten light chief (equivalent to the class leader)

A’s school (Tibetan means five-person unit), the chief is Aben, and the Tibetan means five-member leader (equivalent to group leader)

Maggie (Commander-in-Chief)

According to Emperor Qianlong's imperial authority, the Tibetan army should have 3,000 people, of which 1,000 were stationed in Lhasa (actually the ** Guard Battalion), 1,000 people stationed in Rikeze (actually the Panchen guard battalion), the remaining 500 people stationed in Gyce, and 500 people stationed in Dingri. The weapons equipped at that time were very well equipped. "Five out of ten of them used muskets, three out of ten used bows and arrows, and two out of ten used swords and shields." In addition, 14 mountain-splitting cannons were transported, and 12 were given to the Panchen gates of the Qianzang and the Panchen gates of the Houzang.

But in fact, the Tibetan army under the name of ** has reached about 6,000 people, which is a very amazing number. What is more important is that this Tibetan army is currently equipped with 1,500 British military standard British Lee Metford rifles and 40 "Lewis" light machine guns. This portable light machine gun is strictly speaking, the heavy firepower of the Tibetan army. Bell originally planned to get some cannons for the Tibetan army, but the difficulty of transportation is too great so he can only give up.

Longxia is almost the commander of the 13th-generation Buddha's personal guard army. In fact, this personal guard army is still very good, but it is only good for Longxia who has seen the market. Not to mention anything else, this equipment is really not enough. Longxia has been to France. The shocking shelling brought to him by the earth-shaking shelling on the European battlefield has always come to his mind. However, the entire Tibetan army is not even equipped with the most basic 75MM mountain cannon. Longxia really cannot imagine whether such an army can really shoulder the dream of Lord Buddha's great Tibet.

Just as he was thinking, the little lama Jiansai Tudenggongpei, who was beside the Buddha, ran over from a distance: "Longxiazidai, Longxiazidai, Buddha invites you to see him at the Potala Palace."

Long Xia looked at the little lama in front of him. Although he was only a teenager, he was very favored by the Buddha. He smiled and said to him: "It's Jianshe. Is there anything important about the Buddha? Who else was summoned by the Buddha besides me?"

After all, he was still a child, and Tudeng Gongpei came to him honestly: "In addition to Zidai, there are also Xiazha Kalon and several other Buddhas."

Long Xia nodded politely: "I understand, then Jiansai, you go first, I will come later,."

When Longxia walked into the West Rikong Hall where ** was located, Buddha was angry with Xia Zha who was kneeling on the ground. The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing.

Seeing Long Xia walk in, the Thirteenth Emperor ** stopped his anger a little, sat back on his throne, and then signaled Tudeng Gongpei to hand the telegram in his hand to Long Xia.

Long Xia didn't look at it, but he was shocked: "What, Master Buddha, the 20,000 Han army has entered Tibet."

The Thirteenth Emperor ** obviously did not want to see his subordinates panicked like this. He glared at Long Xia, who seemed to have seen the world in his opinion, but did not scold him.

Looking at the shocked people, the Thirteenth Emperor ** couldn't help but sigh and said, "Everyone tell me what to do. According to the news sent by people in Chengdu, the person who entered Tibet this time was said to have betrayed Wang Zhenyu's rebel Liu Xiang's troops. This person was originally a tiger general of the Sichuan Army, and the flag he slapped this time was to obey the Beijing government."

Long Xia couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Don't look at these living Buddhas, Kalon, etc., they are very majestic and wise in front of the people on weekdays. In fact, there are not many people with real skills. However, those who are really capable probably dare not use it. Xia Zha, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up first and said, "Master Buddha, there is no need to panic about this. Let's just follow the methods of dealing with the Sichuan and Yunnan Army a few years ago, and ask the British to come forward and let Beijing issue an order to retreat these Han troops."

The other Buddhas naturally said yes. The Thirteenth Generation ** thought about it and seemed that this was the only way. Just as he was about to get Xia to thorn up, he heard Long Xia say something wrong. The Thirteenth Generation ** hurriedly asked: "Long Xia, what's wrong with it?"

Long Xia thought about it and bowed respectfully, "Master Buddha, this matter is a bit strange no matter how small it looks. If this army betrays Wang Zhenyu's army, then what they should do is to attack Chengdu instead of running to our snowy plateau. Could it be that he expects Wang Zhenyu to send troops to pursue him and then be dragged down by him? We have no source of troops here, and we need supplies, so I only have one explanation for the actions of this Han general. He is here to rob us of Lhasa. It is very likely that his rebellion is just an illusion, in order to make Xia Zha's method invalid."

Xia Zha immediately dissatisfied when she heard this: "If it fails, how can it fail? Do you know how strong the British are? Even Beijing is afraid of them. I don't believe that no matter how strong a little Wang Zhenyu is, he can be stronger than the Beijing government."

Long Xia shook his head and said, "The problem now is not the problem of strength and weakness of the Han people, but the problem of our British friends becoming weaker now. Didn't I say it when I came back? In Europe, the British are starting a war with the Germans and bleeding. Can't you feel the changes in the British people over the past few years? At the beginning, we had never asked for money and supplies for weapons."

A word woke up the dreamer. When he heard this, the Thirteenth Generation **, Xia Zha and others immediately became stunned.
