China's territorial area ranks third in the world, which is the expansion and contraction of China's ancestors for thousands of years, which has led to the stable territory of China today. The closest feudal dynasty to us is the Qing Dynasty, which also reflects that the Qing Dynasty was also one of the world's great powers. In contrast to the scene of defeat and humiliation in the late Qing Dynasty, the early Qing Dynasty can be said to be a world power, with great national prestige, making many neighboring countries willing to submit to the subject.
But even when the Qing Empire was strong, there were many small countries that coveted the vast territory of the Qing Empire. The Kingdom of Nepal, which bordered Tibet at that time, was one of them, and it repeatedly harassed the Tibetan border when the Qing Dynasty army went out to fight, and one of them, the Gurkha tribe, was very arrogant, acting as a pioneer for Nepal's invasion of Tibet.
The Gurkha is one of many tribes in the Kingdom of Nepal, and in the 18th century, the rulers of the Gurkha tribe were not willing to be subordinate to the people, and selected elites from their own tribes to form a Gurkha army, which was mercenary in nature and was used by the Kingdom of Nepal to harass Tibet.
After entering Tibet, mercenaries looted monasteries and killed civilians, causing considerable harm to the Tibetan region. Moreover, this mercenary army was very flexible and cunning, so that the Tibetan religious leader Panchen Dalai Lama could not do anything about it, and could only ask for help from the ruler of the dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor. Because Tibet was so far away, Qianlong learned about it a few months later, and he sent Fu Kang'an to lead 10,000 soldiers into Tibet, and 10,000 soldiers almost destroyed the kingdom of Nepal. Under the intimidation of the Qing army, the Gurkha army did not dare to move, so that the Kingdom of Nepal signed a peace treaty with the Qing Dynasty, agreeing to henceforth submit to China and never invade Chinese territory again.
Although the war ended, as early as when the Gurkha army was still in Tibet, it left a problem: a Gurkha force lost its way in Tibetan areas and remained in China after the war, and later they returned to Nepal, but the Nepalese regime at that time had changed and did not recognize this force. This poor Gurkha army has been wandering around the border between China and Nepal for more than two hundred years.
After the end of World War II, a number of independent countries emerged in the world, and the Gurkhas wandering on the border between China and Nepal and the Tibetans in Tibet formed an indissoluble relationship, but they still had no nationality due to ethnic problems.
It was not until 2003, when the State Council approved the acquisition of Chinese citizenship by the State Council, when the Group of Gurkhas stranded in China was granted Chinese nationality, and they were finally able to settle in China naturally. At this time, they had been assimilated by the Tibetans, and in addition to a pair of blue eyes, they were still telling the history of that year.
The national government has also provided assistance to the poor and backward citizens, gradually converting them into cement buildings and connecting them with water and electricity. Faced with a new life, the Gurkha people are very grateful to the country, and their families have erected bright five-star red flags on their roofs.
