In addition, Li Jingxiao appointed Liu Mingchuan as the temporary governor of Tibet, and Tibet came under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Military Region.

Liu Mingchuan continued to serve as deputy commander of the Sichuan Military Region.

After receiving Li Jingxiao's appointment, Liu Mingchuan had no choice but to stay in Tibet to handle government affairs here. A large number of government affairs talents were also sent from Sichuan.

The advance negotiations between Liu Mingchuan and Parhat were basically useless, and the arrangements Bai Tao arranged for them were exactly the opposite.

Parhati led the sixteenth army to the north to attack Karawusu and other places.

Liu Mingchuan said that his 12th Army would continue to move west, not only to take over the territory of the 16th Army, but also to attack other cities.

According to the orders of Bai Tao and Li Jingxiao, their 12th Army was deployed in Tibet. In addition, an armed police force of 20,000 people was also established in Tibet.

Liu Mingchuan and Parhati also tried the three major lords, the minister in Tibet, the Dalai Lama, and the Panchen Lama.

The three major lords were all executed, using their own criminal laws. Except for the children of the family, basically everyone was guilty.

Those with minor crimes contributed to building roads and bridges in Tibet.

Those who committed the most serious crimes were put to death in front of all the people.

For a long time after Lhasa was captured, these people were put on trial.

All the wealth of their estates was collected into the national treasury, and half was retained to modernize Tibet.

In addition, all the gold was sent to the Henan treasury.

There is not just one minister in Tibet. Many of them have not done any great evil. Song Xi has not done any evil either. They cannot do it even if they want to.

In the past, the three major lords had the final say in Tibet.

Those of them who are willing to work for the Tenglong Army can be demoted to one level, and those who are talented can be promoted later.

The moment Song Xi saw Parhat, everyone was stunned.

They met the next day.

We were drinking together the night before, but why did we become prisoners the next day?

Song Xi pointed at Parhati: "Who are you? Are you not afraid that General Parhati will bring the real king's army to destroy you?"

"Hahaha, General Songshu, the Parhati you mentioned is exactly me. I won't change my name in business, but I will not change my surname. It is Parhati."

"No way, no way."

"Parhat is the admiral of our Qingjiang Province. How could he be a traitor like you?"

"Oh, I see. You must have the same name as General Parhat, right?"

"Lord Songchu, I am the Xinjiang Admiral Parhati you said I am. I am exactly the same as I am."

"you really are?"

"Then why did you betray me, the Qing Dynasty?"

"You eat the king's salary and don't share your worries?"

"Lord Songxi, I did not betray. I only obeyed the orders of Governor Li Jingxiao from the beginning to the end."

"It was also he who kept me in Xinjiang and assisted Mr. Xia Zhikuan in managing Xinjiang."

"To be honest with you, Lord Songxu, I am also the deputy commander of the Tenglong Army's Xinjiang Military Region."

"The Governor of Xinjiang, Mr. Xia, as you call him, is actually the Commander-in-Chief of the Xinjiang Military Region of our Tenglong Army."

"We are all members of the Grand Governor from the beginning to the end. There is no such thing as betrayal."

Songxu was confused, how could this be possible? Isn't Xia Zhikuan Zuo Zongtang's person?

A terrible thought came into his mind.

Zuo Zongtang also betrayed the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty is not over yet.

Song Xi's tears flowed heavily.

They are done with the Qing Dynasty, and they are done with the Eight Banners.

Parhati had no idea that Song Xi had such a rich imagination.

If Zuo Zongtang was also a member of Li Jingxiao, Cixi would have been arrested long ago.

Neither the Panchen Lama nor the Dalai Lama committed any crimes.

These two people will have all their privileges revoked later and can only become a symbol.

After Lhasa City was stabilized, the two armies carried out finishing work on other cities in Tibet in accordance with combat deployments.

The Sixteenth Army goes all the way north and will enter Qinghai to join forces with Xia Zhikuan.

Xia Zhikuan basically left Xinjiang at the same time as Parhat.

After Xia Zhikuan led the 17th Army to Xining Prefecture, Sichuan's 13th Army had already captured many cities in Yushu.

Wenge, the governor of Qinghai, finally waited for reinforcements from Xia Zhikuan.

Wenge was a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and was a Jinshi in the 24th year of Daoguang's reign.

The little old man was wronged, and seeing Xia Zhikuan was like seeing a relative.

He almost ran into Xia Zhikuan's arms and beat his chest.

It is indeed a grievance. Yushu and other places account for one-third of Qinghai, and the Tenglong Army is still moving north, getting closer and closer to Xining Prefecture.

When they arrived at Xining Mansion, he had no choice but to die for his country.

Now that Xia Zhikuan is here, he can finally have a good sleep.

It has not been easy for him over the years. There is no comparison between Qinghai and coastal cities, and he has always asked the capital for subsidies.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to live this life.

The Qinghai area is mostly populated by ethnic minorities, such as Tibetans, Hui, Mongolians, Tus, etc., which makes management very difficult.

Like some places in Yunnan and Sichuan, there is a lot of toast here.

Wen Ge and the others were a bit like Song Xi, the minister stationed in Tibet. The actual power was basically in the hands of the chieftains and other nobles.

These nominal ministers, Guo Qiang's words are somewhat useful, but now in this stormy day, it is difficult for these ministers to speak out of this yamen.

This time, the Thirteenth Army, led by their commander Zhang Dayao, was unstoppable along the way.

To divide the land among the chieftains, they used the same routine as Cheng Feng and others of the Twelfth Army.

In addition, ethnic minorities can also be allowed to recommend famous people to participate in governance.

There are not enough government talents in Sichuan. Fortunately, Xinjiang has also supported a lot of talents, so that such a perfect transition can be achieved.

Zhang Dayao continued to lead the Thirteenth Army northward.

Wen Ge asked Xia Zhikuan to lead his troops south to support him and resist the Tenglong Army's continued advance.

He was on the same level as Xia Zhikuan, and Xia Zhikuan still had soldiers at his disposal, and his troops were still a group of people gathered from various chieftains.

The chieftains in Qinghai had all heard of the evil deeds of the Tenglong Army, which made them very afraid.

Now we have to unite and speak out unanimously.

After Xia Zhikuan discussed with them, he led his troops and local Qinghai soldiers to fight south.

The chieftains can send people to manage their own soldiers, and they only need to cooperate with Xia Zhikuan in fighting.

The other chieftains also agreed with the plan.

The next day, Xia Zhikuan took 30,000 people with him and left 10,000 people in Xining Prefecture, euphemistically called the protection center.

Then he took 30,000 people from the 17th Army and 60,000 people gathered by the chieftain to fight south.

The food is all prepared by toast.

This time the leader of the chieftains was Qi Chenggao, the leader of the Dongqi chieftains.

Qi Chenggao is also the twentieth generation descendant of Dongqi Chieftain.

Not surprisingly, he will be the last generation.

The next day Xia Zhikuan marched south with an army of 90,000.

And brought these people into the ambush circle prepared in advance by the Thirteenth Army.

These 60,000 people were blocked by the Thirteenth Army and the Seventeenth Army, and all those who resisted were killed.

All others were arrested.

Xia Zhikuan also successfully joined forces with Zhang Dayao.

In this battle, they basically wiped out all the chieftain guards in Qinghai.

And they had basically no casualties.

The 60,000 people led by Qi Chenggao and other chieftains were all captured without any precautions.

Zhang Dayao asked others to clean the battlefield and imprison the prisoners.

He came to Xia Zhikuan and saluted.

"Zhang Dayao, Commander of the Thirteenth Army, has met Commander Xia."
