At this time, Nepal was in the midst of the Shah Dynasty established by the Gurkhas, and it was also the most powerful period in Nepal's history. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The brave and warlike Gurkha people continue to expand militarily abroad, and their territory is three times the size of Nepal in the era before the Bainan crossing. The princely states of India were no match for the Gurkhas, and with their successive victories, the Gurkhas' ambitions gradually increased, and they set their minds in Tibet.

In June 1788, Surbaldab led 3,000 Gurkha soldiers to occupy Nyalam, Jichozong (southeast of Jilong, Tibet), Tsongkha Dzong (now Jilong) and other places on the southern border of Tibet, and besieged Xiegar Dzong (now Dingri, Tibet). The Jiaqing New Deal did not make much change to the Tibetan region, and although it strengthened the rights of the minister stationed in Tibet, the affairs of the Tibetan area were still handled by the four Kabuluns. After seeing that the Gurkha was powerful, the four Kabuluns did not want to fight hard, so they wanted to pay the money. However, when Jiaqing got the news, there was information from the Metropolitan Procuratorate that the former Tibetan Kabulun intended to make peace with the Gurkha people in private.

How could Jiaqing suffer such a loss, and immediately issued an order prohibiting the former Tibetan officials from negotiating peace with the Gurkha without permission, and severely punishing them if they disobeyed. The newly formed new army stationed in Tibet was also assembled, and fought with the Gurkha people in Nyalam and other areas, the size of the two sides was about the same, although the new army had a certain advantage in equipment, but the combat power of the Gurkha was not covered, and the new army in the confrontation between the two sides occupied a little advantage at the beginning, but it was difficult to regain the lost ground in a hurry.

On the one hand, Jiaqing mobilized other Qing troops stationed in Tibet and the Qing troops in Sichuan and Qinghai to enter the former Tibet to participate in the war, and on the other hand, repeatedly ordered that peace with the Gurkha people would not be allowed, and even ordered the dismissal of an official who presided over peace. It is required to work together from top to bottom. Be sure to subdue the Gurkhas.

Even in my heart. Jiaqing also has plans to destroy the Gurkha by the way. Although he has not been closed to news in recent years, Jiaqing does not know much about a small border country, and he does not know the strength of Gurkha. On the other hand, Jiaqing has learned in recent years that the Tang Dynasty has won many battles around the Qing Dynasty, and has incorporated some of the original vassal states of the Qing Dynasty into its banner, and its influence is really not small. Even before the Tang people laid down the land, it was like sending a little brother. The transfer of a piece of land in Myanmar to the Qing Dynasty made Jiaqing both happy and a little unconvinced. When will it be the turn of the Qing Dynasty to let the Tang people give alms, so Jiaqing hopes to prove himself with a foreign military victory.

Although Jiaqing's ability is not strong, he is still a little proud. In particular, during the eight years of his reign, the country was "very good", and he could not see that many peasant handicraftsmen went bankrupt and were taken away by the Tang people to emigrate, all he could see was that taxes increased year after year, and there was hardly a popular uprising within eight years. It seems that the world is stable, and singing and dancing are peaceful. As everyone knows, it is the administrative system brought about by the New Deal. The control over the local area was stronger, and the Tang people also controlled the whole country, and as soon as there was a rumor, it immediately disappeared into invisibility, which led to the emergence of this situation.

The Tang people don't want to see any popular uprising, naturally they don't want any futile casualties of the population, and it is best for someone to take it to emigrate.

Anyway, all this makes Jiaqing feel that he is a famous monarch through the ages, virtuous and heroic, not only quite successful in governance, but also in martial arts, of course, he does not consider that the foundation of Jiaqing's new policy is a routine designed by the Tang people, and naturally attributed to his own achievements.

In the Forbidden City, Jiaqing sits on the throne of the dragon chair, and the previous court meetings have been changed to small-scale cabinet meetings like the current one, and the number of officials attending has also been greatly reduced, which has also reduced the opportunities for officials to see the dragon's face. The first first assistant, Yuan Shoutong, lived a few years longer than in history, thanks to the more advanced medical treatment of the Tang people, but although the old minister is still alive, he has already returned to his hometown three years ago and returned to his hometown in Shandong to spend his old age in peace.

At this time, the first assistant was Wang Jie, the former champion of the Qing Dynasty. Another plane also served as the emperor's teacher, there is an anecdote that Wang Jie has an upright personality, when he was the chief master in the study, when the Pope's son Yan was studying, he taught a strict lesson, and punished him for kneeling and standing. Once Qianlong met the prince who was punished to kneel, and immediately ordered him to stand up, and said: "After you teach, you are the Son of Heaven, and if he doesn't let you teach, he will also want the Son of Heaven, isn't this the way of the monarch and the minister!" Seeing this, Wang Jie replied: "After education, you will be a monarch like Yao Shun, and if you don't educate, you will become a faint monarch like Yaoshun, this is the way to be a teacher!" When he was still an official, he confronted He Shen and participated in the trial of He Shen.

Wang Jie in this plane was very resistant to the Tang people at the beginning of the Jingshi Incident, but then he still came out and served as a scholar in the palace, and after Yuan Shoutong retired, he became the first assistant of Jiaqing with his qualifications and ability.

Wang Jie is upright by nature, but he is also very reasonable, in the matter of harassment of Gurkha entry, Wang Jie advocates not losing the **** body, and does not cause the country to spend a lot of time, small fights and peace. But he was not good at figuring out his intentions by nature, and he didn't understand that Jiaqing had made up his mind to fight, and he wanted to fight fiercely.

After many years of recuperation, especially the crackdown on bureaucratic corrupt groups, and the drastic reduction of officials' incomes, the imperial treasury was relatively full, so Jiaqing was extremely confident.

"Ministers, can you give back for the mobilization of Wu Yijun into Tibet?" Jiaqing still complained about this, Wu Yijun was nominally a Qing army, but from command to money and food, it was provided by the Tang people, so the transfer must be discussed with the Tang people.

Jiaqing naturally understands that the newly formed local garrison is like that, and it has not completed the full firearms, just look at the combat effectiveness, and if you really want to fight, you still have to rely on the elite. And the Praetorian Guard is the strength of his capital division, and he must not be moved lightly, so naturally he can only use the Wuwei Army and Wu Yijun.

Wang Jie reported: "The Tang Embassy has conveyed to its Governor Bai Nan, who said that he would definitely cooperate with the movements of our Qing Dynasty, but Governor Bai also proposed that the road from the southeast to Tibet is long and tortuous, and I am afraid that the army will go for at least a few months, and it will not be enough." Governor Bai suggested that the new army stationed in Tibet should hold back the troops invading Gurkha from the north, and the Wu Yi army would take the sea route to the Tang Donghui overseas territory, which bordered the Gurkha and could directly attack the Gurkha land from the south. ”

Jiaqing couldn't help but praise in his heart, but he would never say that the Tang people's plan was good.

"In this way, then allocate funds for the Wu Yi Army, so that it can go out as quickly as possible without delay!" The posture of the Son of Heaven still has to be there, and Jiaqing must make it look like the Tang people will follow his baton. (To be continued.) )
