On September 10, 1792, that is, on July 24, the 57th year of Qianlong, the Qing army that conquered Palanggu took down Nayakot, the Xia capital of the Shah Kingdom in one go the next day. Because his subordinates were exhausted in fighting for several days and too many generals died in battle, Fu Kang'an immediately ordered the entire army to rest for two days and arranged to restrain the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle.

Before, when the Qing army was staying in Yongjia, the King of Gurkhas, Badursaye, sent the big-headed people, Pudur, Garji Langmujier Gang, Dasar Nairxing, Balabadur Hawas, and more than 20 followers, and brought the previously captured Kalondanjin Banzhuer, Zhashidunzhubu, Niedu, Han soldiers Lu Xianlin, Feng Dacheng and his entourage, 24 Tibetans, and a total of about 50 people. On June 25, they went to Yongjia camp to request a ceasefire.

At that time, Fu Kang'an had sent four heads to propose five harsh conditions. These five are: First, the Gu army withdrew from the ancient Palang area and withdrew all the defenders; Second, Prince Sabadur and Wang Shu Badursaye led all the big heads to surrender in person; Third, since Shamalba, the culprit who invaded the invasion of Tibet, said that he was dead, he should send all his ashes and his relatives and disciples to investigate the matter; Fourth, the plundered gold, silver and treasures of the Thashlunpo Monastery were returned; Five, the private contract that had been handed over before Danjin Banjul was deceived and coerced, and no further mention of the fact that Tibet had to pay silver.

At that time, after the Gufang envoy returned to Yangbu with a manifesto, he was worried that the Qing army would detain Prince Bahadur and Wang Shu Badursaye, so he refused to reply. However, when the Qing army was only one day away from Yangbu, the Shah Kingdom was really panicked.

On July 25, the summoning mission sent by the Gufang, composed of the big-headed man Diudattaba and Tamansaye, arrived at the Qing army camp and submitted a handwritten letter from Prince Bahadur to Fukangan. In this letter, Bahadur humbly asked General Fuyuan to forgive Gufang's rudeness and agreed to hand over the contract documents that had been privately owned with Tibet, the culprit Shamalba's bone colonization and his disciples, entourage, property, and property stolen from the Tashilunpo Monastery.

After reading the letter, Fu Kangan said in a deep voice: "Why don't the prince Bahadur and the regent uncle Badursaye come?"

Diudatta, who was kneeling below, said respectfully: "Report to the general, the prince is ill, and the regent uncle is also ill, so he failed to come and apologize in person."

Fu Kangan sneered, "Hahaha~~I'm all sick? It's really time!"

After hearing the translator's words, Diudattaba and Tamansaye were so scared that they didn't dare to raise their heads. They just said that the prince and Uncle Wang were really sick and did not dare to deceive them. But both of them knew in their hearts that they were still afraid of being detained by Fu Kang'an, so they didn't dare to come when they were beaten to death.

At this time, Diudattaba kowtowed again: "The Kingdom of Shah is located in a remote place. I don't know the power of the great emperor offended the country, causing both sides to meet each other. The wife of the culprit Shamarpa escaped before, and we sent troops to pursue him. As long as we were captured, we immediately sent him to the general. In addition, many items we took away from the Tashilunpo Monastery were lost along the way, and were hidden by the head soldiers. Although the prince ordered them to hand them over, many of them were still not found. As for the ingots obtained by the first to come from the Later Tibetans, some of them were melted and silver coins were cast. This time, the minister brought the remaining items and silver ingots. The gold book of the Sixth Panchen Lama was also included, and he dared not hide one.

Fu Kangan showed a fleeting grin on his face, looking down at the two of them silently. At this time, except for Lin sitting in the lower tent, the other Qing generals stood on the tent, so quiet that they could only hear the sound of wind and rain outside the tent and the sound of the rubbing of the cowhide tent being blown by the wind. Just when Diudattaba, Tamansaye and others were almost breathless by the suffocating silence, Fu Kangan suddenly sings: "Come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his personal captain walked in and called Qian'er and said, "Please give me instructions!"

"Tell me my order and detain all the followers of Gu Fang! Don't let one escape!"

"Yeah! Follow the order!"

Diudattaba was still unclear, but then he heard his subordinates screaming outside the tent, and he was shocked and said: "What does the general mean? We are here to beg for peace this time!"

"I think of asking for peace now? It's too late!" Fu Kangan said in his slightly hoarse voice: "Since Bahadur and Badursaye are both 'in good health', then the coach will lead the army to visit Yangbu and listen to how they will defend themselves. Take these two people down!"

Late at night on July 26, five thousand Qing troops left Nayakot under the cover of night and rushed straight to Yangbu, the capital of the Shah Kingdom.

In the early days, Nepal was composed of dozens of tribes that were not subordinate to each other. In the late 18th century, the Gurkha tribes living in the northwest of Paleb emerged. Under the leadership of Plitvi Narayan Shah, the leader of the Shah dynasty, they took 20 years to annex the three tribes of Paleb and more than 20 other small tribes around. By 1769, the Shah dynasty moved the capital to Yangbu, which was originally from Paleb, forming a unified Gurkha Kingdom.

Because the territory of Gurkha is full of mountains, narrow and densely populated, it is difficult to be self-sufficient, and it is urgent to expand its territory to the surrounding areas. In 1777, the two-year-old prince Bahadur Shah inherited the throne and his uncle Badursa Ye regent. Because to the south is West Bengal, occupied by the British, Gurkha knew that he could not afford to offend him, so he pointed the expansion finger at Tibet, Brookba and Zhemengxiong.

In Nepali, Yangbu is called "Katmandu". It is located at the intersection of the Bagmati River and Bixingmati River. The entire city is not as large as the Qing Palace. In addition to the royal palace built with red bricks, the most conspicuous buildings in the city also have a three-story Hindu temple dedicated to "Jorogata". The interior of this temple is supported by a single tree, so it is also called "Kashamanda wooden house". Yes, the name of the city comes from this temple.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to motivate your subordinates and shock the Gurkha people, Fu Kang'an issued an order before the war to prevent the sword from being sealed for three days after the capture of Yangbu. His only requirement was not to set fire. As soon as these words were said, more than 5,000 Qing troops were cheering and sharpening their swords one by one, and they were full of murderous intent.

The reason for doing this is that since the Qing army crossed the Himalayas, there were no towns along the way, and they all had to fight hard in the valley. In addition, due to logistical transportation difficulties, Sun Shiyi, Huiling and others took the first priority to satisfying military rations and ammunition bows and arrows, and the delivery speed of military pay was very slow; the 270,000 taels of military pay that were originally transported to the front line has only been given 30,000 taels.

Although you may not have to spend money after taking the money, this is the only thing that everyone fights to the death!

Facing the Qing army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, the Gu army lost all morale. Although they had made defense preparations, their civil fortifications could not resist under the fierce bombardment of the Qing army's 12-pound cannon. Previously, the Qing army could defeat the Gu army, which refused to defend on the cliffs, and now that they are on the plains, the Gu army is even less of an opponent.

The battle was on the morning of the next day, when the Yangbu Palace was lost, the Regent Badulsaye had to take his remaining subordinates to retreat to Patan City on the south bank of the Bagmati River. Fukangan knew very well that success or failure was the first to take place. Patan City was only more than four miles away from Yangbu, so he immediately ordered the entire army to cross the river and divide the troops into three groups to encircle Patan City. Badulsaye must not be allowed to escape.

At noon on July 29, facing the fierce offensive of the Qing army, the few Gujun left their weapons and surrendered. Badursaye knew that the situation was hopeless, so he had to take a group of big and small leaders out of the city to surrender. Then, the Qing army began to loot in Yangbu and Patan, and the temples in the city were in trouble. If you want to talk about Buddhist temples, the Qing army would still be scruples. After all, there were many Tibetan soldiers from Jinchuan in the team. But the problem was that the Gurkha people believed in Hinduism. The Qing army directly criticized the Hindu gods as evil demons and heretics, and they were merciless. In addition, the Hindu favorite thing is to pile up gold and gems in the temple to express piety, so there is no need to say the outcome.

Two days later, Fu Kang'an ordered several surrendered guys to carry a manifesto written in both Tibetan and Chinese characters, and to understand the leaders of Gurkha, and to come to Yangbu to obey the situation within a specified period, otherwise he would be severely punished. In order to fear that there would be many dreams and troubles, the Regent Badursaye was imprisoned for three days, and was taken to Jilang by several Qianqingmen guards, waiting for Qianlong's situation to fall.

At this point, the battle to destroy the country that had been invaded by Fukang'an light cavalry, which lasted for seven months, finally came to an end. As for the fifteen-year-old prince Bahadur, who heard the news, fled to Patna and asked the British for help...

In late September 1792, a fleet of Thor and two three-masted sailing ships set off from Madras, after more than ten days of sailing, crossed the Maldives westward across the equator, passed through the Seychelles Islands southward through Mauritius, and finally arrived at the French base camp in the South Indian Ocean, Bourbon Island, which was named "Reunion" in another time and space.

By the time they arrived at the Port of St. Denis, the fleet had changed from three to seven, four of which were brigs captured near the Arabian Sea to the west of the Maldives.

Since Deng Fei and his friends left the Bay of Bengal and entered the Indian Ocean, the French merchants and officers accompanying him reminded him to pay attention to pirates.

It is said that since the end of the 17th century, Antongier Bay in northern Madagascar and Dovan Fort in southern Madagascar have become safe havens for Indian Ocean pirates. For example, the famous "Captain Kidd", Henry Avery, and Thomas Too have used Antongier Bay and St. Mary's Island as their bases. However, since 1720, the golden age of European pirates has come to an end. Now the pirates in the Indian Ocean are mainly Arabs.

The leader of this group of pirates was a guy named Jalahma, with cruel means and cruel temperament, with more than 2,000 people under him. They used the Bay of Holhasan and Antongier on the Arabian Peninsula as their bases and plundered merchant ships in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf all year round; silk, cloth, spices, jewelry, coins, gold and silver, and there was nothing they didn't rob, and they would occasionally recruit crew members from the black slaves trafficked on merchant ships.

By the way, in many later works of art about pirates, pirate leaders were often depicted as one-eyed wearing eye masks. However, according to historical records of the British, Jalahma was the first pirate leader to wear eye masks.

Sure enough, when the fleet passed by the Maldives, a pirate fleet of more than 20 large and small ships suddenly emerged from the northwest. After a period of follow-up and observation, the pirates who were ignorant of life attacked the Thor in an attempt to capture the giant ship. However, with Beihai One and the Two showing their fangs and eight heavy machine guns set on both sides of the Thor's ship opened fire, the aggressive pirates suffered the heaviest blow in their lives - sinking seven ships, capturing three ships, and the rest turned around and fled back to the Arabian Sea.

Deng Fei was lazy to chase after him. He ordered the ships to salvage the pirates who fell into the water and detained them in a cargo hold of Thor. Then the Thor dragged three sailboats and continued to go west. He planned to sell the three ships when he arrived at Bourbon Island and handed the prisoners over to the local sheriff to deal with.

Speaking of the earliest French stronghold in the Western Indian Ocean, it was actually in Fort Dovan in southeastern Madagascar. Bourbon Island was originally just a place of exile. After more than a hundred years of development, the residents of Bourbon Island had reached nearly 50,000, three-quarters of which were black slaves.

The decline of Dovan Castle actually originated from a funny and hilarious incident in 1672. At that time, a ship carrying several French women stopped at Dovan Castle. The woman on the ship originally planned to send it to Bourbon Island - to be a wife for the settlers there. Unexpectedly, these women actually jumped into the boat in the middle of the night and stayed in Dovan Castle and married the French people here. The problem is that these French men already have wives, and now for the sake of the "beautiful" French women, they divorced the Antanosi who had married before. As a result, on Christmas Eve of this year, the Antanosi who were ignited attacked Dovan Castle, and more than 2,000 French people were massacred, especially those who abandoned their wives and children and married French women... A few survivors eventually fled to Bourbon Island.

This incident tells us a truth: it will cost human life if you abandon it all the time, especially indigenous women.

The arrival of Thor and the Chinese caused a sensation on Bourbon Island. Tens of thousands of people rushed to the harbor of Saint-Denis to look at the blue and white "giant ship". As for the two sailing ships, the Nordics One and Two, it became less conspicuous. Fortunately, there were French people from local governance on the ship, who came ashore, presented a handwritten letter from the local governance governor Leclerc after getting ashore. Moriarty, the governor of Bourbon Island, immediately agreed to the Beihai One, No.2 and three other captured pirate ships to berth into the port, and led his guards to the port to greet him.

Deng Fei's fluent French surprised Moriarty. He immediately invited the delegation from Beihai Town to visit the Governor's Office. After the dinner, Deng Fei refused to stay at the Governor's Office and returned to the boat to rest.

It’s not okay if you don’t come back. The meeting time that Zhao Xin and him agreed to meet is only these two days.

At midnight, the port of St. Denis was even quieter. In addition to the moored ships being driven by the waves, the commands of French soldiers patrolling on duty would occasionally sound. At this time, the sailors on Beihai No. 1 were all asleep. On the deck, only Deng Feierlu and the captain Haipingzhi each stood on both sides of the ship, looking around.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the beach two hundred meters west of Beihai No. 1, and it disappeared in a flash. After a while, the figure appeared one hundred and fifty meters away. After staying for about half a minute, it disappeared again.
