Chapter 28 Bloody Indus (1) Karachi
The meeting ended five days later. Although the empire had entered a stable stage of development, the bloated bureaucratic system also appeared. After all, the founder and a group of ministers were in office, and the execution ability was still maintained. The meeting agreed on everything and the department will implement it one by one.
It was about 1777, and about nine months left before the date of the attack on the Ottomans that the Persians secretly agreed with the Austrians and Persians. In addition to the Persians who had begun to invade the Ottoman region, the Truchens and the Austrians had a lot of work to do.
Turn your eyes to the east.
Originally, the British had almost included the entire India in the sphere of influence in recent years, and had vigorously compressed or expelled the French and Portuguese spheres of influence, making them almost dominant.
But with the strong intervention of the monster Truchen, things gradually changed.
The British continued to retain several coastal colonies such as Mumbai and gradually expanded inland. In real history, they were originally chasing the remnants of the Mughal Empire, and because Ture, the third son of Qitad, who occupied West Bengal, had married the daughter of Mughal Emperor Alam II, they obviously could not do this.
Seeing that the Truchens did not interfere with their colonial expansion, the British accelerated their invasion of southern India. At the moment, except for Goa (Truchen), Odisha (French colony), and Andhra Pradesh (Denmark colony), other states still fell into their hands.
However, the British obviously learned the lesson from the last time. Since the Truchens had too obvious advantages at sea, this time, they did not focus their main energy on the coast, but accelerated their expansion to the inland.
As a result, the Maratha alliance between the Mughal Empire and the coastal states suffered.
Qitad did not interfere with all this.
After the French actually achieved East Bengal, their power increased greatly, and Odisha, they could actually compete with the British.
The Dutch have complete control of Sri Lanka.
As for the Truchens' true ally Portugal - after the Lisbon earthquake and the century-old tsunami caused the Portuguese's national strength back decades, the Portuguese had to completely allied with the Truchens. Since the Goa colony was given to Truchen, their sphere of influence has completely shrunk in the Diu area of Gujarat.
However, with the strong support of the Truchens, the Portuguese gradually showed their true nature when they were once fierce in the fifteenth century, and gradually made the entire Gujarat Bonna his own sphere of influence.
As for Pakistan in later generations, the current middle and lower reaches of the Indus River are hellishly.
The Bloody Indus River, this is a later Pakistani historian's description of the Indus River Basin at this time.
Persians, Mughals and Afghans have been fighting here for the past fifty years, making the originally rich and rich grain-produced Indus Plain full of devastation.
After Durani of the Afghan Empire died, his son Timur Khan came to power, but his prestige was obviously far inferior to his father. When he moved the capital to Kabul, not long ago, the leaders of several major tribes under Durani were independent.
Durani is a Pashtun, and the Pashtuns are divided into two major tribes. The one with Kandahar as the center is the Durani (Durani changed his tribe to this name after he became emperor), while the one with Kabul as the center is the Girzai.
But Timur Khan himself was a Durani native. He greedily followed the capital to Kabul River-Indus Oasis and moved his capital to Kabul. Although he took away 20,000 guards mainly Durani, the surrounding area was still the world of the Gilzai people.
In addition, the Pashtuns who were centered on Herat and close to Persians, and the Balochs who were centered on Quetta in Pakistan in later generations all held their own troops and worked their own affairs.
To the north, warlords dominated by Uzbeks occupy Mazarisha, and warlords dominated by Tajiks occupy the Kunduz-Talukan area.
Between Kabul and Mazarri Sharif, there is a mountain that stretches for thousands of miles - the Hazara Mountain. In the valleys of all sizes, there are a large number of Hazara people - mixed-race descendants of the Mongols and locals.
The Hazara people who had followed Durani's younger brother Shuja to attack Hualazim before were the Hazara people. Of course, Temuerlan, the leader of the Hazara people, surrendered to Truchen and converted to the Lamaism. Later, Qitad launched another battle aimed at abducting the Hazara people, and successfully took away 20,000 households from the north of Afghanistan.
However, there are about three million Afghans nowadays, of which the Hazara are the third largest tribe (second only to the Pashtuns and Tajiks), accounting for about one-fifth, with more than one hundred thousand households centered on the Hazara Mountain.
In the past, during the Mongol Empire, the Mongols were the masters here, but at present, they did not occupy high-quality areas such as Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazarish Sharif, and Kunduz, but instead curled up near the Hazara Mountains. It was obviously caused by the suppression of other tribes after the collapse of the Mongol Empire and several Khanate countries.
After Durani's eldest son Timur Khan moved the capital to Kabul, he realized that the local Durani people were weak. For them, the differences between the Durani and the Girzai people in Pashtun were no less than those of the Pashtuns and the Tajiks.
So, Timur Khan began to vigorously win over the Hazara leader who was set up in Bamian and married his daughter to him so that he could defend the western border of the royal capital.
At the same time, the Punjabi people in the Jalalabad-Peshawar area in the lower reaches of the Kabul River in the east were regarded as their confidants, and they won over their great nobles through marriage and rewards.
As for Kandahar to the south and the Dulani people who continued to stay there, they were naturally occupied by his brothers.
Here we will focus on the Girzai people, one of the two major tribes of Pashtun.
They are actually descendants of the Gloru people who destroyed the Battle of the Great Tang Talas in their previous lives. They are the real tribe of Afghanistan, the Turks, but the maternal line is Pashtun people,

All these people's languages are nothing more than a hodgepodge of Persian, Arabic, Turkic and local languages.
The core is still based on Persian language, showing the true influence of the Persians over the past thousands of years. As for the influence of the Macedonian Emperor on this place, it is very small.
The Mongols, who once became owners of this land, not only did their own language disappear, but their faith disappeared. In addition to their appearance, they were no different from other tribes in the local area.
Mongolian, here shows his vulnerability.
Because the Hazara army in Temuirland is close to the Amu River, it still retains some remnants of Mongolian and Lamaism, which is also the main reason why they agree with Truchen and completely surrender.
Although they are all influenced by Persian, the Dulani were obviously more affected by the Pashtun people, or their language was the Persian dialect, while the Gilzai people were different. Their language contained a large number of Turkic words.
Over the past fifty years, Nadirsha of the Persian Empire first invaded India, not only looted Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, but also looted the entire middle and lower reaches of the Indus River plains, which were surrounded by oasis and deserts, and there was no danger to rely on. After looting, there were naturally many bones.
Then there was Dulani's second invasion, and after finally recovering some vitality, there was once again full of sorrow.
Later, with the assistance of the Truqins, Mughals recovered some vitality and competed with the Afghans for this place. Once again, the bones were thousands of miles away. In addition to the provinces in the north who could escape nearby because they were close to the mountains, the plains were "white bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."
At this time, the Maratha people in the east and the Sikhs in the north took advantage of the opportunity to fight again. In the end, the Sikhs occupied the northern half and the Maratha people occupied the southern half.
After Durani's death, he occupied the desert area south of Kandahar. The Baloch people centered on Quetta were obviously unwilling to continue to make a living in the loess and wind and sand, so he turned eastward.
In comparison, the Marathas who were used to being comfortable in the Deccan Plateau were obviously no match for the Baloch people who had drunk hundreds of years of wind and sand. In the end, the southern part of Pakistan was occupied by the Baloch people in later generations.
Mir Ali Khan, appointed by Timur Khan of the Afghan Empire, transformed into Governor of Sindh, who was the founder of the Talpur Dynasty in history.
Before that, the Indus River Basin states including Lahar and Hyderabad (Pakistan, not India) were all enthroned by the Mughal Empire.
The rough dividing line between the Sikhs and the Balochs is the Rahim Yarhan County of Pakistan in later generations.
Previously, the Truchens had obtained the estuary of the Indus River from Alam II. At that time, Karachi was still a small fishing village. After eight years of construction and operation, Karachi had become the largest city in the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River.
Yes, it is definitely the largest city. Rahar, the original largest city, has few people left after repeated strangulation of people from all sides.
People on the oasis were fed up with war and killing. Since Truchen had defeated the Afghans and the British, they were obviously a force that was enough to protect the locals, a large number of locals in the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River ran out of the desert to join Karachi.
All this, even Mir Ali Khan, who occupied Sindh Province, had no choice.
Truchen, that is a powerful force that even the great Ahmedsha (Durani) cannot defeat!
By 1777, Karachi had become a commercial transit station, a new city dominated by bulk goods wholesale land, incoming material processing industry (Iron from Goa, coal from Bangladesh, linens, cotton from the Indus River Basin, rice).
In addition to the locals (mainly the Sindhi, that is, the Indians, the Sindhi, and India all mean rivers, half Hindus and half Islamic believers), Prince Toure of Bengal moved some Assams, Manipurs, and Arakans here.
Now this is a big city with 100,000 people.
A real big city.
In the eyes of the Punjabi people in the north and the Sindhi people in the south, this is heaven.
The reason why the Truchens suddenly built Karachi City was obviously to curb the expansion of the British power. Of course, Qitad also had a thought.
Due to repeated strangulation of various forces, the population in the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River has withered rapidly. Although the Baloch and Sikhs have come again, just like the Truchens, they have just arrived.
