It's a pity that after two years, this open flame machine has long been out of oil.
Moreover, the thin air made ignition difficult.
Although I have tried my best to avoid the sun.
But after two years of dawdling on the plateau, Xingzhen inevitably became darker and thinner.
If Zhu Fugui were here, he would definitely find that Xingzhen, who was beautiful and beautiful back then, was quickly moving towards the image of "Cixi" in his impression, which existed in various textbooks and historical photos.
To be honest, it's a bit annoying.
Therefore, Dr. Xing can't rule out that he died because of the increasing dose every night.
Altitude sickness is only a co-factor.
Just when Tokugawa Yoshiki was thinking wildly, a group of scouts on pony horses came galloping ahead.
The beggars' clothes on them swayed in the wind.
On the plateau, Tokugawa Yoshiki hadn't seen such an energetic kid for a long time.
With uncontrollable ecstasy on their faces, they shouted: "Master Guanling, Master Guanling, a herdsman in front said that after crossing a mountain pass, there is a big lake called Tsomu Angla Rinpo, which is The Pangong Lake on the map, along the Pangong Lake to the west, is the Ladakh state. This is the westernmost place in Tibet, and it is the hometown of China. Further west and south, it is Xihe where Tianzhu is located. Niuzhou is here!"
Chapter 698 Yamaguchi
The quiet Pangong Lake is the most beautiful pearl in the southwestern border of the motherland.
Its name in Tibetan is "beautiful long-necked swan".
This vividly compares the shape of Pangong Lake.
The slender lake is like the neck of a swan, elegant and beautiful.
Pangong Lake has a very strange phenomenon.
Because the lake water is divided into two parts, the east and the west, connected only by slender waterways in the middle, the salinity of the lake water at both ends is very different.
Belonging to a large oriental country, it is a low-salinity lake full of vitality in the eastern section, accounting for about 2/3 of the whole lake.
The one belonging to a certain world power is a relatively dead and high-salinity lake in the western section, accounting for about 1/3 of the entire lake.
In later generations, this is the forefront of the confrontation between the beloved soldiers and the cunning and dishonest Indian army.
Around this plateau pearl, many epic stories happened.
However, in the 12th year of Dewu, in the early spring of 1874 AD, when the ragged Tatar and Song troops passed by here, there was no one eating curry at all!
Here, originally belonged to the traditional territory of the Han-Tibetan people.
Theoretically, this is part of Tubo, the territory directly under the Qing Dynasty, not even a vassal.
But in fact, since the establishment of the Mughal Empire, the Ladakh state, which believes in Tibetan Buddhism, has been under tremendous pressure from the north, the west, and the south, and often jumps back and forth between China and the Mughals.
But in essence, just as Qing Russia fought in the Nerchinsk region back then, the local people were willing to cooperate with the Qing government to fight Tsarist Russia, which seemed to be an outsider, in terms of culture and ethnicity, based on the simplest judgment of enemy and friend.
It's just that the Qing government was so muddy that it couldn't support the wall, and it couldn't fulfill the important task of the backbone of the Eastern nation. It was hammered and hammered by various powers, and finally the small Japanese island gave birth to the ambition to replace it, and it fell to the ground. chicken feathers.
The same is true in Ladakh.
In 1819, the Kingdom of Jammu, a Sikh state in India, invaded Dalark.
Although the people of Ladakh organized military confrontations and revolted many times, they all ended in failure.
At that time, Ladakh sent people to Lhasa to ask Tibet and the central government of the Qing Dynasty to send troops for assistance, but the Minister in Tibet and the local government of Tibet refused Verna.
In the summer of 1846, without the participation of representatives of the Qing Dynasty, Britain unilaterally delineated the eastern boundary of the pseudo-Jammu-Kashmir state, and Ladakh was annexed accordingly.
This time, the Tatar and Song army crossed the Pangong Lake, and the first enemy they faced was the Kingdom of Jammu, a state supported and conferred by the British.
When the huge Tatar and Song army and civilians entered Ladakh, they were already dressed in rags, looked like beggars, and their eyes were green with hunger.
Although the internal money of the Ming Liang Sect is bottomless, but in a place as difficult as Pangong Lake, the eldest brother of the Liang Sect is really out of reach.
In the local wars of later generations, the immature New China used the power of the whole country to guarantee the supplies of the soldiers in the southwestern border. For today's Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly a dream to do this.
Therefore, the army of the Tartar and Song Dynasties who had been lingering on the snowy plateau for more than two years had been exhausted of instant noodles and the like in the army.
There are only a few compressed biscuits left, which can only be enjoyed by high-level military officers and nobles.
On the contrary, there are still a lot of military supplies such as bullets left.
As long as there are guns and bullets, will there still be food shortages?
But now is not the time for them to show their fangs, burn, kill and loot.
How much oil and water can the local herdsmen in Ladakh have?
After all, this is just an area of less than 1T.A small place with a population of less than 10.
Moreover, there are the Karakoram Mountains in the north, the Himalayas in the south, and the Kashmir Valley in the southwest. The whole area is on the roof of the world, and the food production is surprisingly low.
In Leh, the capital of Ladakh, Tibetan leaders slaughtered sheep and cattle with trepidation, so that these "kings" who came from afar would have a good meal.
The Dalak herdsmen, who have been ruled by the Indians for more than half a century, finally got the "master" whom they had been looking forward to day and night.
It's just that these "king masters" are too many.
And what's the matter with dragging the family and bringing all the old, young, women and children here?
Little Ladakh, even if all the cattle and sheep are killed, it can't afford to support so many masters!
But soon, the Ladakh people found that they did not have to worry about their livestock.
Because of his meowing, they were soon coerced by the Tartar Song army, and all the people and livestock were packed away.
With Tokugawa Yoshiki doing it himself, the Song Dynasty hung a well-preserved sun and moon flag on the roof of the Leh Palace, and also hung up a huge photo of Ming's benevolent father Zhu Fugui.
"This place is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and you are all under the protection of the Ming Dynasty."
Tokugawa Yoshihisa held up a loudspeaker and asked someone to interpret and shouted, "However, you have been bullied by Maoren for a long time, how can you give up like this? Now this special envoy represents the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the next represents the general Suotna who conquered the barbarians. Lead you to kill the mountains, crusade against the hairy people, and take back your own cattle, sheep and livestock. As for this place, there will be soldiers from the Ming Dynasty to take it over in the future, so don’t worry! Take it away!”
In this way, about [-] Da Lak herdsmen also drove their livestock and followed the army to the west under the bright flowers and bayonets of the Song Dynasty.
With the assistance of these local people, and because they saw hope, this time the Tar Song acted very quickly.
About two weeks later, the Khyber Pass was in sight.
The Khyber Pass is the largest and most important pass in the "Kill the Indians" range.
The Indian subcontinent is actually an extremely closed place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Compared with the long border between Huaxia and the northern nomads, there are beacons everywhere, and battlefields are different everywhere.
There are high mountains in the north and northwest of the Indian subcontinent as natural barriers, while the southwest and southeast are all seas. If foreign enemies want to invade India, the only breakthrough is the Khyber Pass, whose narrowest point is no more than 600 meters.
(Pictured)
The Aryans invaded ancient India in ancient times, the Alexander Empire invaded India more than 300 years ago, the Mughals invaded India hundreds of years ago, and others such as the Kushan Empire, the Ghazna Kingdom, the Kaija Dynasty, the Durrani Dynasty, All invaded India all the way south from the Khyber Pass.
It can be said that, except for the fact that the British came from the sea, for thousands of years, our great India has been repeatedly ravaged and ruled by the enemies from this mountain pass over and over again.
If any dynasty in the history of China was here, even if it was the Great Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, wouldn’t it be necessary to spend all the power of the country to build a fortress and a city wall on this mountain pass to block this opening?
But the brain circuit of the third brother is so amazing.
I just don't cultivate.
I'm just playing.
If you dare to conquer, I dare to surrender!
Chapter 699 Tokyo Bay
This time, Tarsong followed the footsteps of the Aryans, Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Mongols, etc., and once again crossed this world-class natural danger with ease.
The vast and fertile plains of the Ganges and the Indus are already in sight.
Of course, compared to his predecessors, the opponents Tar Song encountered this time were much more difficult.
Because this Jammu kingdom was a Sikh kingdom armed by the British.
The Sikhs, that is, the red-headed Asan, can be regarded as the most abundant martial arts among Asan. (pictured.)
It is precisely because of their relatively abundant martial arts that the proportion of Sikhs in the Indian division formed by the British is quite high.
But in itself, the number of Sikhs is very small, accounting for only 2% of India's population, that is, only 800 million people.
Now the UK is facing tremendous pressure from Europe, North America and the Far East, and has formed more than 180 Indian divisions with nearly 200 million people.
Many of the elite of these divisions were transferred to Central Asia, Malay, Burma, Europe, and even North America.
And those Indian divisions who had no combat effectiveness at all and were reluctant to act as security police stayed in India.
Because according to the judgment of the British, if Zhu Fugui intends to invade India, he must first take Malay and Burma.
Because Zhu Ming's greatest magic weapon is tanks and cars.
It is very unlikely that Zhu Ming would cut off his own arm, and instead go far away, cross the snow-covered plateau and the knot of the Pamir Mountains, and fight in from northwest India.
It is impossible to build roads in those places, and the mechanized troops have no room to play.
Therefore, a large number of Sikhs were attracted by the pound and joined the British army to garrison outside India.
This has left their nests relatively empty.
Moreover, the Sikhs have abundant martial virtues relative to other ethnic groups in South Asia.
And the extreme stretching of the hips in the Tartar and Song Dynasties is relative to the height that the East Asian nation should have reached.
If the Sikhs were so full of martial virtues, there would be no fighting heroes in future generations who would utter the angry voice of "not only did the enemy not surrender, but dare to fight back!"
The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty had nothing in mind about confronting the British head-on.
But to bully the Indians is to go back to the old business.
Looking at the undefended and empty Khyber Pass, and the army of beggars from the Song Dynasty slowly passing by, Tokugawa Yoshiki rode on a short-legged Tibetan horse, took out a Ming army saber from his waist, and waved the saber , Shouted: "Enter the customs!"
Then, the sound of horseshoes and wheels from the north woke up this ancient and fertile land again.
……
It was more than half a month when Zhu Fugui learned that the Tatar-Song army actually crossed the snow-covered plateau alive, and entered like locusts, sweeping across many towns in northern India.
Putting down the "Times" in his hand and Jin Yiwei Tiqi's secret report, Zhu Fugui had to sigh with emotion, the British reporter still ran fast!
Their news arrived at the Imperial Palace almost at the same time as Jin Yiwei's secret report.
But this is mainly because Zhu Fugui is not in Fengdu now, and there is no guarantee of the trans-Pacific cable.
Radio is sometimes not as reliable as wired telegraphy.
At this time, Zhu Fugui's location was in the Beibu Gulf, or above the Gulf of Tonkin in the Vietnamese population.
Zhu Fugui's two ships, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, plus several main warships in the Shenzhou Theater, may be nothing in the Atlantic Ocean with such powerful firepower, but in this "Tokyo Bay", if you want to go sideways, Just walk sideways, if you want to walk vertically, walk vertically.
The city of Tokyo is now trembling under Daming's strong ships and guns.
And in the Baosheng area 150 kilometers north of Tokyo (now Vietnam Old Street), the strength of 25 divisions of the Ming Royal Army and the Black Banner Army that had just returned to the Ming Dynasty were already waiting.
The Black Banner Army is a peasant armed force active in the border areas of Guangdong and Guangxi at the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and its leader is Liu Yongfu.
Historically, with the failure of the Taiping Army, the Black Banner Army was also forced to escape into Vietnam and help Vietnam resist French aggression.
Later, in the Sino-French War, he was appeased by the Qing court, and together with the veteran Feng Zicai, he severely damaged the French army at Zhennan Pass, which led to the downfall of the French cabinet Rufeli.
And this heroic army was finally ordered to be disbanded by the worried Qing court.
Later, it had to be reorganized during the Sino-Japanese War, and finally the whole army was martyred in Taiwan.
But in this life, the fate of the Black Banner Army is of course very different.
Around the fourth year of Dewu, Zuo and Li became self-reliant one after another, and the armed forces of Han landlords in various places changed their flags one after another. The only governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was the bannerman Ruilin.
He remained loyal to the Qing court and insisted on suppressing Liu Yongfu's troops.
However, Ruilin's power was limited after all, so although the Black Banner Army was still active on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi, it did not go deep into Vietnam to help Vietnam resist the French.
Moreover, the full name of Ruilin, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is Yehenara Ruilin.
Now he has changed his name to Zhao Ruilin, and followed Zhao Xingzhen over the plateau to catch the hairy man.
Therefore, the situation of the Guangdong and Guangxi wars in the Ming Dynasty was almost determined by rumors.
The Black Banner Army immediately surrendered to Daming.
