After rushing into the city along the broken and collapsed city walls, soldiers from the 26th and 15th Infantry Divisions opened fire.
Da da da!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Machine gun and rifle bullets rained down on the city of Lhasa, relentlessly reaping the lives of the soldiers from the snowy plateau.
In a short time, the entire city was littered with countless corpses. Piles of bodies stretched as far as the eye could see, and rivers of blood flowed!
The fleeing soldiers who entered the city became even more panicked, scattering in all directions like startled birds.
These routed soldiers have gone mad in their escape!
The pursuing troops were also going crazy!
A single squad of soldiers, armed and equipped, could even chase hundreds or thousands of fleeing soldiers into a panic.
The situation within the entire city of Lhasa was extremely chaotic.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
Those who surrender will not be killed!
After rushing into the city, the soldiers of the Da Gan Army shouted loudly.
Some of the defeated soldiers who understood what was being said quickly threw down their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt on the ground.
Faced with the threat of death, more and more soldiers on the snowy plateau knelt down and surrendered.
In an instant, the streets and alleys of the city were filled with defeated soldiers kneeling on the ground, and even some generals and civilians knelt down.
As more and more soldiers from the snowy plateau surrendered, the speed at which the Da Gan Army soldiers entered the city also accelerated.
After storming into the city, some soldiers were left to guard the prisoners, while the rest continued their charge toward the palace of the king in Lhasa and other important military and political locations.
"kill!"
Loud battle cries echoed throughout the city of Lhasa.
Inside the Zanpu Palace, Dusong Gongzan, listening to the dense gunfire outside, paced anxiously back and forth within the palace.
"What to do? What to do?"
However, no one answered his question.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Just then, with a muffled thud, the palace gates were smashed open. Dozens of soldiers carrying Yan Ning rifles rushed in.
Upon seeing this, the ministers in the palace immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and knelt in surrender.
Upon seeing this, King Dusong Gontsen was stunned for a moment before slowly kneeling on the ground.
After the Zanpu surrendered, the fighting in Lhasa ended even more quickly.
The operation to wipe out the remaining troops continued until evening, and the city of Lhasa gradually calmed down.
The 26th and 15th Infantry Divisions were stationed in Lhasa to guard prisoners and maintain order within the city.
At the same time, an inventory was also taken of the property, assets, and lands of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Lhasa.
These things will also be key to winning over the hearts and minds of the people on the Tibetan Plateau in the future.
All work is proceeding smoothly.
While occupying Lhasa, the 12th Infantry Division and the 12th Cavalry Division in the northwest were also sweeping across the snowy plateau.
Several important towns in the northwestern region of the Tibetan Plateau were also successively occupied.
As for the other smaller cities, they are also being cleared out.
News of the fall of Lhasa spread like wildfire throughout the Tibetan Plateau. In particular, the news that King Dusong Gontsen had ordered all regions to cease resistance also reached various places.
After learning of this news, and especially after realizing the formidable strength of the Da Gan Army, some small towns also laid down their weapons and surrendered.
In some areas, serfs even rose up in rebellion, killing local garrison commanders, Zongben, and others, and directly led their troops to join the Da Gan Army.
After all, the Emancipation Proclamation had gradually begun to play a significant role in the Tibetan Plateau.
Like a whirlwind, it swept across the entire Tibetan Plateau from the Kangcheng area.
After occupying Lhasa, Wei Xiangdong and others began to recruit some serfs, and together with some senior military and political training cadres, they formed a propaganda team for the "Declaration of Emancipation of Serfs". They went to various places to preach and were responsible for the equal distribution of land in various places!
By the end of September, the weather across the Tibetan Plateau had become exceptionally cold.
Meanwhile, logistical supplies from the Sichuan region, passing through Zishiguan, Diaomen, Lushuiguan, Kangcheng and other places, had been delivered to Luoxie City.
Although it was a bit slow, the supplies carried this time were mostly bedding, clothing, cotton boots, and other items, most of which were for the troops stationed on the snowy plateau to get through the winter.
These supplies were not only for the use of the 26th Infantry Division, but also for the 15th Infantry Division, the 12th Cavalry Division, and the 12th Infantry Division.
Currently, there are three infantry divisions and one cavalry division stationed on the Tibetan Plateau, totaling 40,000 troops.
In addition to these 40,000 people, a portion of militia forces also entered the snowy plateau.
However, this group is not large.
The subsequent militia forces will be responsible for transporting the second wave of logistical supplies into the plateau after winter and the Lunar New Year.
Although the militia was small in number this time, they were accompanied by telegraph operators.
That's why the journey has been somewhat slow.
The telegraph workers laid telegraph lines all the way, and finally completed the main telegraph line between Lhasa, Kangcheng, Yazhou, and Shuzhong.
After some adjustments by the staff, Wei Xiangdong and others sent the first telegram, reporting the situation on the Tibetan Plateau.
The telegram was sent to the Southwest Military Region of Sichuan and then forwarded to the Privy Council in Beijing.
A day later, the Privy Council in the capital also sent a reply.
The reply was personally drafted by His Majesty Li Xin.
In his reply, His Majesty commended and rewarded the 26th Infantry Division, the 15th Infantry Division, the 12th Infantry Division, and the 12th Cavalry Division for their battles on the snowy plateau, praising their loyalty to the country and their spirit of hard work and perseverance.
At the same time, Li Xin also made arrangements for the aftermath of the disaster in the Tibetan Plateau.
The Tibetan Plateau had only recently been pacified, and the most important task was naturally to establish the rule of the Great Khanate.
Therefore, all the provisions of the Emancipation Proclamation must be strictly enforced.
At the same time, the resolution to equally divide land and property must be implemented.
Only if these measures can be truly implemented can the great nation and the great army win the hearts of the people on the snowy plateau and truly take root here.
To ensure the implementation of these measures, Li Xin decided to establish the Snowland Military and Political Office in the Snowland Plateau, which would be specifically responsible for all military and political affairs in the Snowland Plateau.
The Snow Region Military and Political Affairs Office operates under unified leadership.
The committee, composed of seven members including Wei Xiangdong, commander of the 26th Infantry Division; Hu Dayong, commander of the 15th Infantry Division; Zhang Lunping, commander of the 12th Infantry Division; Wu Yuting, commander of the 12th Cavalry Division; Ma Longtan, a member of the militia; Feng Deyong, a special commissioner of the Ministry of Civil Affairs; and Yang Lingge, a special envoy of the Ministry of Political Affairs, will handle the matter through consultation.
With this, the entire deployment of affairs on the Tibetan Plateau was completed.
And the Great Gan Kingdom truly recovered and pacified the Tibetan Plateau!
