It should be said that these neighbors around the mainland have had a very deep historical relationship with our country since ancient times. Today's protagonist is called the Sikkim Kingdom. Formerly known as Je Mengxiong, the specialty of this place is rice and rice. And he was once a vassal state of our country, which was subordinate to the Qing Dynasty at that time. Sikkim and the mainland are bordered by a Himalayan mountain, but the climate is very different. Because of their pleasant climate, they are very suitable for growing crops.
At that time, Tibet on the mainland was very rich in products, and the Side of Sikkim was still relatively poor, so they would cross the Himalayas and come to the mainland to exchange some goods and so on. The continent's economy has also driven the smaller countries around it. At that time, the most prosperous area of Sikkim was the trade route with our Qing Dynasty. But then because Nepal entered Sikkim's trade, Sikkim's trade with our country began to slowly stop.
In the early 18th century, nepal underwent earth-shaking changes, with one tribe gradually unifying Nepal, and this tribe was called the Gurkha. They are not satisfied with the unification of Nepal, and they still want to expand to neighboring countries, and Nepal naturally does not dare to invade the mainland, they target the small countries around them, the first of which is Sikkim.
Sikkim had no way to face the attack on Nepal, and the king at that time could only abscond near Lhasa and send a distress signal to the mainland. At that time, the emperor in power of the Qing Dynasty was still Qianlong, and Qianlong thought that it was not necessary to help Sikkim, but after Nepal had already taken Sikkim for itself, he felt that he was invincible in the world.
As a result, he repeatedly offended the Qing Dynasty's borders. This move infuriated Qianlong. Qianlong decided to send troops to attack Nepal, and even if Nepal was brave and good at war, it could not withstand the iron horse of the Qing Dynasty at that time. After nepal's defeat, Sikkim ruled autonomously for a while, but because his country was so weak, the surrounding Bhutan also found it easy to annex Sikkim and wanted to occupy him.
It was hard to drive the Bhutanese away, but the land of Sikkim was far less large than before, it was not big, and it was swallowed up by others, and Sikkim's life was difficult. At this time, Sikkim felt that it should restore diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty, and it was best to be protected by the mainland, but in the late Qing Dynasty, it was difficult to protect itself, and naturally it was unable to protect other small countries, so Sikkim fell into the hands of the British.
It was not until after the end of the First World War that Sikkim's territory was returned again, and at this time Sikkim also realized that they wanted to form friendly relations with China, so they thought of marriage. One Chinese married the eleventh king of Sikkim, and the two were very happy after their marriage, and gave birth to a princess named Kukula. Cukula was spoiled from an early age and received the most advanced education in the world.
At this time, a Tibetan official wanted his eldest son to marry a princess. The king of Sikkim was very happy, because he thought that this was a good way to establish diplomatic relations with China, but Kukula had a place to worry, because she heard that Chinese men are almost all three wives and four concubines, but she did not want to do this, she wanted to implement a monogamous system, and the eldest son of the Tibetan official was already deeply in love with Kukula, so she was very happy to agree. So the two married and gave birth to 3 children and simply lived in Sikkim.
