    The easy capture of Qamdo was equivalent to opening the eastern gate of Tibet. The 45th Brigade and the 22nd Brigade, together with the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Northeastern Army, the new 266th Division, and the new 270th Division, advanced at a rapid pace along the Nu River and the Yarlung Zangbo River.  Advance towards Lhasa.  The troops of the Northeastern Army who entered Tibet marched forward bravely. The officers and soldiers gritted their teeth and endured the dizziness, vomiting, chest tightness, tinnitus, vertigo, difficulty in walking, etc. caused by hypoxia, strong ultraviolet rays, and altitude sickness, as well as the difficulties and obstacles brought by polar wind, snow, and cold.  , climbing over snow-capped mountains, crossing large glaciers, slowly but surely advancing towards Lhasa, advancing a straight line distance of fifty kilometers every day and night. This has surprised all parties on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "Roof of the World"  Astonishing numbers.  The Tibetan soldiers who were defeated along the way couldn't figure out how these Han troops living in the plains relied on to provide logistical supplies. In fact, the answer is very simple. The Northeast Army relied on mobilizing local people to support the troops.  The Kham Tibetans and ancient Wei Tibetans who lived in western Sichuan, eastern Tibet, Xikang and other places during that time suffered from generations of enslavement and oppression by Tibetan chieftains, landlords, and old nobles in traditional Tibetan areas. However, every inch of Tibet liberated by the Northeast Army troops  After receiving the land, the Northeastern political workers who followed immediately distributed land, livestock, and food to these local Tibetan serfs.  For the first time, the serfs had their own land, cattle and sheep. This was something they had never thought of before. Tibetans at the bottom of society were very grateful to the practices and policies of the Northeast Army.  When they learned that it was extremely difficult for the Northeast Army troops to march into Tibetan areas, the grateful Tibetans responded enthusiastically to the call of the local government and joined the torrent of troops in front of the troops. Thousands of yaks, horses,  Mules, donkeys, and wheels carried all kinds of combat materials needed by the Northeastern Army on the front line and climbed among the snowy mountains and glaciers of Tibet where cars could not travel.  On the rugged snowy road from Xikang to Tibet, hundreds of thousands of Tibetans drove cattle and horses, pushed and pulled wheels, and struggled to transport supplies such as baggage and fodder, clothing, shoes and socks, medical bandages, bullets and shells, tank fuel, and artillery parts.  The long queue that meandered for hundreds of miles marched towards Lhasa following the Northeastern Army troops who took the lead in clearing the way.

    Not only that, when the heavy vehicles and light tanks of the Northeast Army encountered impassable muddy swamps, the Tibetans were like fools moving mountains, constantly transporting bundles of thatch back and forth to fill the roads; a large number of Tibetans moved back and forth to fill the roads;  The civilians also volunteered to serve as guides, leading the Northeast Army to explore the path forward through mountains and ridges.  In the endless line of Tibetan troops, the braying of livestock and the creaking of wheels were deafening. The snowflakes that rolled up along the way even obscured the pale sun.  During the frontline battles, the bodies of injured soldiers or dead soldiers of the Northeastern Army were basically carried back to the military hospitals or medical stations at the rear by Tibetans. This scene moved the Northeastern Army officers and soldiers to tears.  .  Chu Qiming, who went to the front line to command in eastern Tibet, saw with his own eyes that local Tibetans, including their teenage children, were running without shoes while carrying more than 100 kilograms of weight; one was only four years old.  A Tibetan child carrying four cans of pork on his back was led by his parents to climb a mountain to support the Northeastern Army on the front line; tears flashed in the eyes of Chu Qiming and other generals, and he taught the officers around him earnestly and sincerely: "Have you seen it?  This is what the young marshal said, 'The power of war comes from the people'! What a wonderful people, we must let them live a life of adequate food and clothing as soon as possible!"

    With the strong support of the Tibetan people, the Northeastern Army rushed towards Lhasa even more quickly. On April 1, the 45th Brigade, the leading force, was less than 40 kilometers away from the city of Lhasa.  In the city of Lhasa, the news that Chamdo had been captured by the Northeastern Army overnight immediately aroused great panic among the warring factions in the upper echelons of Tibetan rule. The regent Daza Ngawang Songrao was even more panicked all day long.  Shrunpo Monastery found the imprisoned Ngabo Ngawang Jigme, and said with an expression of apology:

    "Ngabo, at this critical moment in Tibet, we Tibetans should work together and help each other! You have had contact with the Northeastern Army before. For the sake of peace in Tibet and the Tibetan people not being harmed by the war, I decided to entrust you as a  How about the plenipotentiary negotiating with the Han people?"

    Ngawang Jigme looked at him alertly and asked, "I wonder if Lord Ngawang Sonrao has decided to accept all the conditions of the Northeastern Army?"

    "Well" Ngawang Song said evasively, "We can appropriately agree to the Han army entering Tibet, but the number should not exceed 10,000; in addition, regarding the abolition of the serf system those nobles such as landlords and chieftains  I'm afraid they won't agree to it, and it might even cause internal turmoil and rebellion Therefore, we need to think about it again These difficult negotiations will require your efforts, Ngabo One hundred  The fate of tens of thousands of Tibetans and the entire Tibet is in your hands"

    Ngawang Jigme said angrily: "Master Ngawang Somora, why are you still so confused? General Zhang Xueliang of the Han Northeast Army"Thirteen Codes", "Sixteen Codes", etc.; the land, cattle, sheep, and property of the old nobles, landlords, chieftains, and bureaucrats were confiscated and distributed to the vast number of serfs and landless Tibetans.  In this way, the majority of Tibetans were liberated one after another and transformed from serfs into free farmers. This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Tibetans and promoted the rapid development of Tibetan agriculture. At the same time, a group of modernization projects supported by the Northeast Frontier Defense Government  New light factories and new primary and secondary schools have also sprung up on the land of Tibet.  As time goes by, the face of Tibet becomes increasingly brand new. Roads, airports, factories with modern industrial equipment, banks, trading companies, post and telecommunications offices, comprehensive farms and other construction facilities are blooming everywhere; at the same time, the Tibetan area government has established a new frontier defense government in the Northeast.  With the support, a large number of production tools were distributed free of charge to farmers and herdsmen, water conservancy projects were built, disaster relief was provided, donations were given to monks, nuns and beggars, fair trade activities were carried out, etc.; while promoting the growth of Tibet's modern economic power,  It has also gradually established an equal and humane lifestyle among Tibetans. These major measures have had a profound impact on all strata of Tibet.

    While building Tibet, the Administrative Department of the Northeast Frontier Government, which actually controlled the five provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Kangxi, and Tibet in the southwest, under the instruction of Zhang Xueliang, launched a major purge of administrative power in the southwest provinces to ensure that the Northeast Army had control over the provinces.  Absolute control and governance here.  Among them, Chongqing City became independent from Sichuan Province and became the third municipality in the country, equal to Peking City and Tianjin City (Shanghai City was still under Jiangsu Province at this time). The position of mayor was held by General Pan Wenhua, a famous patriotic general of the Sichuan Army; Xikang  The province was divided into two regions: Kangxi and Kangdong. Kangdong was merged into Sichuan Province, and Kangxi was merged into the Tibet Autonomous Region. General Liu Wenhui, the former Chairman of Xikang Province, was transferred to Vice Chairman of Sichuan Province.  In this way, the Southwest was re-divided into the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan, the Chongqing Municipality, and the Tibet Autonomous Region. The Northeast Army stationed about 150,000 troops here, and had more than 400,000 local troops to build the Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, Yunnan Army, and Tibetan Army.  Absolute control.

    On June 1, China's Northeast Border Defense Government and China's Defense Minister General Zhang Xueliang announced that the Kingdom of Sikkim, the Kingdom of Bhutan, and the Kingdom of Nepal have been China's sacred and indivisible territories since ancient times. The Chinese central government has sovereignty over the three countries and will soon  be recovered.  On June 3, the 260th Mountain Combat Division of the Northeastern Army in Tibet entered Gangtok, the capital of the Kingdom of Sikkim. King Tahinamgar of Sikkim led the royal government of Sikkim to surrender and Sikkim was merged into China; on June 10,  The 266th Mountain Combat Division of the Northeastern Army stationed in Tibet entered Thimphu, the capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan. King Jigme Wangchuck of Bhutan led the Royal Guards to resist, but suffered heavy casualties. The Guards suffered over a thousand casualties. Forced by the strength of the Northeastern Army  Due to the military power and military power, King Jigme Wangchuck was forced to announce the surrender of the Royal Government of Bhutan and the annexation of Bhutan to China.

    On June 18, the most elite 45th Mechanized Rapid Reaction Brigade of the Northeastern Army in Tibet made a long-distance attack from the Gyirong area in southern Tibet and broke into the Kingdom of Nepal with overwhelming force. With the cooperation of paratroopers and special forces, on June 22  Japan captured and controlled Kathmandu, the capital of the Kingdom of Nepal.  At this time, the power of the Shah royal family of Nepal had been emptied out and monopolized by the aristocratic Nala family. When the Northeastern army was approaching, Prime Minister Zhongge Bahadur Nala asked for help from the Indian government and the British colonial authorities in India, but was met with failure.  When it comes to rejection (neither the British nor the Indians want to offend such a powerful enemy as the Northeast Army).  King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah of the Shah Dynasty, who only ruled Nepal in name, announced the surrender of the Nepalese royal government on the morning of the 23rd after receiving the Northeast Army's promise to help revive his royal power, and Nepal joined China.  .

    The three plateau countries of Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim (the three countries have a total area of ??about 197,700 square kilometers and a total population of more than 12 million) were re-incorporated into the Chinese territory. While retaining the power of their respective royal families, they were dismembered by the Northeast Frontier Government into nineteen countries.  Cities and counties were merged into the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.  [Note: Historically, the Kingdom of Sikkim and the Kingdom of Bhutan were both territories of the Tibetan Kingdom (Tibet), but were later invaded by Britain and India; while the Kingdom of Nepal was related to North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan (Vietnam),  Sulu (Philippines), Burma, Nanzhang (Laos), and Siam (Thailand) were a total of eight vassal states conferred by the Chinese emperor (but now these vassal states are basically all bullied by the suzerain state); especially the Kingdom of Sikkim  (Historically known as Zhe Mengxiong), has always been the territory of Tibet, but was later split from Tibet by the British in modern times. It was annexed by India in 1975. The Chinese government officially recognized Sikkim as an Indian territory in 2005.  A fait accompli as an autonomous state, the last recognized state in the world.  ¡¿And the Northeast Army, which controlled Tibet and the three countries on the Asian Plateau, gained a strategic springboard to march into Central and South Asia and West Asia.  The battle ax has been sharpened, the war song has been played, and the Northeast Army's frontline has begun to point towards Southeast Asia, Myanmar and India.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
