    On August 1, the Dalai Lama requested a peace conference to be held in Lhasa or India, with Britain as witness.

    Tibet has always had a special status in Chinese history, with its unique religious and political systems, and it is also a nation that combines politics and religion.  The British have always regarded Tibet as a forbidden area.  After the Qing emperor abdicated, Tibet also fought for independence. Later, army commander Zhong Ying led his army from Xikang to pacify the situation.  Later, the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian suddenly protested, demanding that China not interfere in Tibet's internal affairs and not send troops into Tibet. If China did not accept this, Britain would not recognize the Republic of China government.  Forced by the situation, Yuan changed the campaign from suppression to pacification, restored the title of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, canceled the army to conquer Tibet, and agreed to hold a "Tibet Conference" with the British in Darjeeling on the Indo-Tibetan border.  This was the beginning of British intervention in Tibet.

    "This time the Tibetans are instigated by the British and have signs of independence again. This is intolerable.  Today is Tibet, and tomorrow will be Xinjiang. Once the confidence is insufficient, this matter will never end!  Zhang Zuolin expressed his refusal via telegram, saying that Tibet is China's inherent territory and no one has the right to negotiate around the central government.  If you avoid him as the "Mongolian Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Envoy" to hold a peace meeting, you are not treating the village chief as a cadre!

    Ordinarily, Zhang Zuolin is just the "Mongolian Economic and Strategic Envoy". Why are you meddling in this Tibetan matter?  However, according to Xiao Zhang's point of view, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. At this time, if we want to make the Fengcian clan move from a corner of peace to the whole country and create influence, it is necessary to firmly maintain unity.  Moreover, Britain's pressure on the Central Committee of the Republic of China was actually an attempt to divide Zhang Zuolin's influence in the government, because Jin Yunpeng had already telegraphed Zhang Zuolin's attitude twice.

    If the situation is not handled well, it is not impossible that Jin Yunpeng will become another short-lived problem of the Republic of China. If the Feng faction does not speak out at this time, it will chill the hearts of its allies.  Therefore, whether from the perspective of being friends or from the overall perspective of safeguarding national unity, Fengxi should firmly state its position.

    With Zhang Zuolin¡¯s current influence, he can already directly exert force on the central government.  He asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform the British Minister in China: "The beginning of the Tibet Peace Conference will be the day when the central government restores the authority to govern Tibet. If war breaks out, Tibet will no longer have its former status, and the Dalai Lama will no longer have the honorable title  , the central government should set up provincial management."  Zhang Hanqing sent a telegram to Han Linchun, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest People's Army, to send a unit from Qinghai to Tibet and assemble in the Tanggula Pass area to prepare to suppress the dispute with force.

    The Thirteenth Dalai Lama knew that he was outmatched and did not dare to talk about war, so he sent people to seek peace.  The British Minister in China submitted a note to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Tibetan issue, which read:

    (1) China shall not interfere in the administration of Tibet, and shall not establish a province in Simon.

    (2) The Chinese government shall not send unlimited troops to station anywhere in Tibet.

    (3) Britain has now determined that China has suzerainty over Tibet and should require China to revise the New Treaty.

    (4) It is necessary to retain a special communications agency in front of the British government to eliminate traffic between India and Tibet.

    (5) If the Chinese government does not recognize the above conditions, the British government will never recognize the new republican government of the Republic of China.

    In addition, it hints to the Beijing government that if it does not agree to the above terms, the British government may use the Guangzhou military government as the target of negotiation.  Zhang Hanqing secretly sneered: "I wonder if the Guangzhou Military Government has the guts to take this card?" Anyway, the Yangtze River coast is the direct territory, and South China is controlled by the Guangzhou Military Government. Because of Japan's presence, the UK has no control over the north.  Big impact.  Fengjun was good at the army, but he was not afraid of the British ships and artillery.

    Faced with the joint efforts of Britain and Japan to put pressure on China, the United States completely abandoned its usual clamor for an "open door" and instead took the opportunity to demand that its troops withdraw from Tianjin.  Suddenly, the mountain rain was about to come, and dark clouds enveloped the land of Beijing and Tianjin.

    Zhang Hanqing had already begun to make preparations to attack Shaanxi. Although he was far away from Tibet, he felt the same way about the aggressiveness of the great powers.  Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States are trying to tie China up and put themselves on fire.  If you are tough, you will be unable to deal with unexpected events, which only adds to the laughter; if you are weak, the opponent will definitely intensify his efforts and make you retreat without restraint.  He finally understood the sadness of what Yu Dafu called "Motherland, when will you become strong!?"

    I was willing to be a stingy and dare to pull the emperor down!  When Mao Zedong was still on the Long March, he dared to defy the great powers and the superior Kuomintang army. He dared to challenge the Sixteen-Nation Allied Forces in Korea, a foreign country, when everything was waiting for help. Now that he has a strong army, he is hesitant. I really don¡¯t know what I am afraid of.  ?  The worst thing is to start over again!

    Thinking of this, Zhang Hanqing wiped away the depression in his heart and sent a reply to Zhang Zuolin via telegram and announced it to the public at home and abroad: "If you seek peace with struggle, then peace will exist; if you seek peace with concessions, then peace will be destroyed. People are mortal, some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than Mount Tai.  Hongmao. When the Chinese nation is in the most danger, all officers and soldiers of the People's Army will work with the central government to share the hatred of the enemy, resist foreign humiliation, and face difficulties together. IfIf the Tibetan issue ferments and causes large-scale incidents, there will be General Xiao Zhang who died in the battle in China, and there will be no Zhang Xueliang who survived."

    At the end of the call back, Zhang Hanqing added a poem:

    "He was born out of nowhere, in the vastness of Kunlun, and saw all the beauty of spring in the world.

    Three million jade dragons flew up, causing the whole sky to become cold.

    ??????????????In summer, rivers overflow, and people may become fish and turtles.

    Who has ever commented on Qianqiu¡¯s meritorious deeds?

    Now I call Kunlun, not so high, not so snowy.

    An De relied on the sky to draw his sword and cut you into three pieces?

    One part was left to Europe, one part was given to the United States, and one part was returned to the Eastern Kingdom.

    In a peaceful world, the whole world is the same.  "

    This telegram inspired the spirit of the Chinese nation to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, shouting out the strongest voice of the times. It was forwarded and echoed by countless newspapers and periodicals, and the Marshal's magnificent "Niannujiao Kunlun" was also recited in the streets and alleys.

    Although Wu Peifu, who was far away in Luoyang, had political disagreements with Zhang Zuolin, he still maintained a vigilant stance on this matter. He said in a telegram to Cao Kun and others: "The dispute between Zhili and Fengcheng is a domestic matter, and the Tibet issue is related to the country.  Sovereignty cannot be traded. Peifu is willing to defeat the enemies of the Feng clan on the battlefield with dignity, and will never be like Shi Jingtang."

    Shi Jingtang was the later emperor of the Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period. In order to resist the threat of Tang soldiers, he even succumbed to the thieves and proclaimed himself emperor. He also borrowed Khitan soldiers to invade the Central Plains at the expense of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, causing the Central Plains Song Dynasty to lose the barrier of the Great Wall, and eventually fell due to weakness.  at the hands of the Mongols.  Wu Peifu used this to show his intention and disagreed with Cao Kun's practice of borrowing foreigners' self-respect.

    Wu Peifu's weight is still quite important, and his opinions are accepted by most people in the immediate circle, which ultimately affects the current situation.  Therefore, the emboldened Chinese government sent a very tough note to the UK based on Zhifeng's advice:

    (1) According to the 1906 Sino-British Treaty on Tibet, no country other than China has the right to interfere in Tibet¡¯s internal affairs. It is nonsense to say that China has no right to interfere in Tibet¡¯s internal affairs.

    (2) As for the establishment of a province, it is a necessary political matter of the Republic of China. Since all countries recognize the Republic of China, they must recognize that China has changed Tibet into a province.  Therefore, when China changes Tibet into a province, this is China's internal affairs and the British cannot interfere.

    (3) According to the 1908 Trade Treaty, Britain entrusted China with the police power of the market and the protection of Indo-Tibetan traffic. Therefore, China of course sent troops to important places in Tibet. This is a symbol of national sovereignty and cannot be discussed.

    (4) Sino-British negotiations on Tibet have already concluded two treaties. Everything has been stipulated clearly. There is no need to revise a new treaty today.

    (5) The Chinese government has not intentionally blocked traffic between Britain and Tibet in the past. In the future, it should pay more attention to protect it and never hinder normal traffic between Britain and Tibet.  However, British people must exercise self-discipline and act in a manner that does not violate Chinese laws and regulations.

    (6) Recognizing the Republic of China is another issue that cannot be discussed together with the Tibet issue. The UK should not go back on its promise and make the international community laugh.

    The Chinese government's reply was issued, but the British government did not reply for a while.  Although Zhang Hanqing was tough on the outside, he was unwilling to take any serious action with the great powers at this time - Japan would not dare to take any drastic measures in other aspects until its serious trouble was eliminated.  On August 25, when the Dalai Lama of Tibet sent people to sue for peace, on the grounds that "the Dalai Lama has returned after having lost his way, and the central government, for the sake of the country's peaceful development and the Tibetan people's inability to afford war, has issued an order to suspend the invasion of troops and restore the previous status quo."  , finally dragging the Tibet issue down.

    Seeing that the Feng Clan had gained control in Beijing, in order to ease the situation, on August 14, the U.S. Congressional Group and former Minister to China Rui Enshi arrived in Beijing and met with Zhang Hanqing in order to continue to stabilize U.S. interests in China.  Zhang Hanqing also returned the favor, welcoming the visit of the U.S. Congressional delegation, actively expressing goodwill, and looking forward to the U.S. providing strong support to China in terms of economic and industrial development.

    Japan, which had an "Anglo-Japanese alliance" with Britain, was not to be outdone when Britain provoked trouble in the southwest, and also made its own plans.  Originally, the old international relations, regardless of the treaty negotiations between Britain and Japan, Russia and Japan, France and Japan, and the United States and Japan, were based on the policy of maintaining China's status quo, preserving the remaining Chinese territory, and providing equal opportunities for the great powers to treat China.  However, since Zhang Hanqing established Northeastern autonomy, the strength of the Fengcian faction has greatly increased, which has seriously hindered Japan's expansion in the Northeast.  Originally, South Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia (Hung Yen Province) were all Japanese interests at this time in official history. Currently, except for the South Manchuria Railway, Guandong Prefecture, and a small number of troops stationed in Harbin, Japan's power has been greatly reduced.

    Seeing that the two factions of the Zhitong and Fengxi factions had joined forces to oppose their own attack, Britain felt that it was difficult to do so alone, so it planned to unite with Japan to suppress China.  After some planning, it was agreed to support Japan's actions in Mongolia in exchange for Japan's support for Britain's activities in Tibet.

    This is exactly what the Japanese government wants.  Deliberately expelled by the Japanese troops stationed in the Far East, on August 23, the old Russian party Belarus Engen led more than 3,000 people to invade the Chechen Khan of Outer Mongolia. The "An-Mongolian Army" that had been prepared for a long time sent troops from Kulun to fight.

    In order to create a situation of internal and external attacks, on the 28th, the Japanese government secretly ordered the commander of the Japanese army in Harbin to encourage the independence of the princes of Outer Mongolia in order to disrupt the situation in Mongolia and benefit from it.  Ji Yiqiao continued to display heavy troops at the border. Enqin did not dare to fight and stayed on the Russian border, intending to wait for opportunities.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)More than 3,000 people invaded the Chechen Khan of Outer Mongolia from the west.
