Chapter 82 New Era No. 25: India (2)

 A few days later, Alam II came.

Alam II is only two years older than Kitard. The two are close in age, but they look very different. Kitard looks about forty years old, but Alam II looks like a sixty-year-old man.

Old man.

Kitard obviously knew something about Alam II being so anxious to see him.

"Although he stabilized the Ganges Plain, his strength was still too weak. The previous cavalry and archery methods were obviously not very effective in the 18th century. Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty has completely controlled Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and other mountainous countries. He wanted to

It is too late to develop northward”

"To the south is the Deccan Plateau, which is the territory of the Maratha people and is also the largest cotton producing area in India. Nowadays, the British take a fancy to this and are vigorously operating there."

"For us, after we have Kazakhstan, Khorezm, and Bukhara, we don't have to worry about the cotton producing areas, otherwise we will get in trouble."

"Although the Maratha alliance couldn't defeat the British, it could still deal with the Mughals. In addition, Alam II newly acquired East Punjab, and he did not have strong means to control the Sikhs there. There were also internal

Although the large number of Brahmans maintain unity on the surface, they are obviously struggling."

"If our country hadn't eliminated the warlike Durrani dynasty, his life would have been even more difficult. Now he can at least survive."

"He obviously wants to use our strength to attack the Maratha Union southward. However, our country already owns the fertile land of the lower reaches of the Ganges, which is the place with the richest coal and saltpeter resources in India, and also owns Goa on the west coast.

, there is a lot of high-quality iron ore there”

"People are suffering from insufficiency. For the Viceroyalty of India, it is enough for the time being that there are a large number of grain-producing areas, jute for weaving, and coal and iron resources for large-scale industry development. According to the experience of later generations, the key is to firmly control the areas

Take control, otherwise you will have contributed to India in future generations."

"The key here is population. At present, India still has the dominant population. We must find ways to continue to immigrate some Chinese and Southeast Asians."

He suddenly thought of something.

"Now that the British and French have entered Myanmar, and with the support of these two countries, Meng Bo, who has always hated our country, is very likely to be ready to take action. If that is the case..."

Thinking of this, he said to Alam II: "Your Majesty has a sad face, but you need to ask our country for advice on something important?"

Alam II cursed in his heart and thought to himself: "You know the truth, but you deliberately said this. Everyone said that Kitard, the emperor of the Truchen Empire, was treacherous and ruthless, but I have seen his treacherous side."<

/p>

But his face is respectful.

"Your Majesty"

Both the Mughal emperors could speak Mongolian, so there was no problem for them to communicate.

"I'm very grateful that your country destroyed the hateful Durrani Kingdom. Otherwise, I don't know when our country's western territory would have settled down, but..."

"Sikhs are restless again?"

Alam II's face was filled with embarrassment, "There are more Sikhs under Truchen's banner, why are they so quiet and silent?"

"Yes, but this is secondary. The key is the British and the Marathas. The British have formed several regular divisions for the Marathas, all with muskets and artillery. They are all deployed on the border of our country, and they also cross the border to provoke from time to time."

"Once, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I led 10,000 cavalry to fight back. Later...ahem, I was ambushed in the mountains. From then on, I didn't dare to provoke them at will."

"We and you are related by marriage. If we join forces, we can destroy the Maratha Alliance and divide the land equally!"

"The British have built many textile factories there. The cotton they produce is of high quality and low price. It has almost caught up with your country's products!"

"Oh? So what?"

Having said that, Kitard remembered something.

"If Toure goes to war with the French, what will the British do? According to their usual practice, they will never sit back and watch. They don't need to go out now, they can mobilize the Marathas to achieve their goals."

"Our attack on East Bengal may be an opportunity to attract King Meng Bo of Myanmar, thereby creating opportunities for our country to introduce a large number of Burmese people."

"Secondly, if the British can't help it, they will also urge the Marathas to attack eastward. I have no idea about the land in the Deccan Plateau, but Jharkhand, which is still under their control, is adjacent to Bengal.

, it is also a plateau area, in addition to producing a large amount of cotton."

"It is also a place extremely rich in coal and iron resources"

"It would be great if we could seize the opportunity to capture the land. Although the fight for land is not the most critical issue in the Viceroyalty of India, we cannot watch the British reach every place in the Deccan Plateau."

"Marathas and Burmese people are very easy to be deceived. According to the British's sharp tongue, they should not miss this opportunity."

"If there is an opportunity in Myanmar, the northern states in the army can move their families to Bangladesh. At present, the Kingdom of Myanmar only actually controls the plain areas. The mountain states are actually controlled according to the previous Ming Dynasty.

The policy will be implemented”

"But if a chieftain state wants to continue their rule, the only price is to perform military service to the King of Burma. Mountain people are generally fierce and good at fighting, and they are also a force that cannot be underestimated under the King of Burma."

"If we can win the battle, moving all the captured soldiers and their families to Bangladesh or Jharkhand will have a greater impact on the population structure."

He said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, our country will attack East Bengal in the next few days and prepare to merge East and West Bengal, which will inevitably affect the interests of the French."

"Although Britain and France fought to the death in Bangladesh before, due to the emergence of our country, the two countries actually showed signs of secretly joining forces in India."

"If our country takes East Bengal, the British in the Deccan Plateau will definitely feel that they are alone and will probably encourage the Marathas to attack us eastward."

"As far as I know, there are about 50 million people on the Deccan Plateau, and the Maratha cavalry that can ride horses can dispatch at least 50,000. In addition, the king of Myanmar in the east, Meng Yun, has always hated our country and is expected to intervene in this war."

"If a war really breaks out, our country will naturally fight back against the Marathas. By then, their army will be deployed on the eastern border, that is to say, Jharkhand. His Majesty can lead the army southward into the plateau. How much can he capture by then?

That’s how much land there is”

Alam II was overjoyed, and Kitard smiled and said: "Our country can conquer East Bengal in a few days. Why don't Your Majesty stay here for a few days to see the results of the battle?"

Alam II naturally agreed happily, and Kitard quickly beat the snake and put it on the stick.

"Your Majesty, your country's name is Mughal, which is Mongolia, and the core tribe of our Truqin is the Mongols. Your Majesty wants to stabilize the domestic situation once and for all, but there is actually another way."

Alam II's expression changed drastically. He naturally knew Kitard's thoughts, but he obviously would not agree. Although he was in a difficult situation, he was the master of a country after all. If he merged with Truqin, wouldn't he have to rely on others?

Already?

Then he said with a smile: "Of course that's good, but this matter is very involved. When my ancestors marched eastwards, they brought with them a number of Mughal warriors who had been evaluated. Most of these people later became nobles in various cities. I can't handle such a big event.

It can be decided in one word and needs to be discussed with them in detail."
