Chapter 84 New Era No. 25: India (4)
One month later.
The Indians' combat power is obviously not as good as the Burmese, and even worse than the Japanese. Under the blockade of two reorganized divisions of Toure and three militia divisions (about 10,000 people), they were blocked from the Deccan Plateau and lead to the lower Ganges plain.
The key place.
After failing to attack the three cities of Alagan and learning that his capital was besieged by the Truqins, Meng Yun obviously did not dare to fight and immediately withdrew back to Myanmar.
But he has to face the blockade of a reorganized brigade on the other side of Beimucheng.
Meng Yun had to take this place before he could cross the river and return to the other side of the city of Beimu, because on the way back he had already discovered that the Truchens' warships had blocked the surface of the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to the estuary!
Fifty thousand troops launched a crazy attack on the positions on the other side, but everything was futile. The Truchen army set up strong positions on the other side, in field guns, short-barrel artillery, mortars, machine guns, rifles, and grenade ladders
With the interweaving of the firepower network, they attacked for ten days and couldn't make it.
At this time, his 50,000 troops had been reduced by half!
He could only recruit the mountain tribal group, the Meng people group, who returned from Ancheng and Guya, here at the same time. Although he could not cross the river, he still had a large number of strongholds on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River, where there were a large amount of food and grass, which could fully support him.
Keep fighting.
He is the king of Burmese. Although most of the Burmese tribes are deeply favored by his brother Meng Bo, they obviously have tribes loyal to him. His middle army is an army dominated by Burmese people. After the troops were reduced by half, he did not
If these 50,000 people were told here, his rule over Myanmar would not be as stable as in the past.
When the mountain tribal army returned from Ancheng and Guya, the Meng army was one day away from here, the Alagan army led by Luo Fangbo appeared behind him!
Previously, Qitad, who besieged Beimu City on the east coast, had repelled reinforcements from Mandalay, Bogu and other places in Myanmar, and also wiped out the enemy. After learning about Meng Yun's situation, he immediately gave Luo Fangbo a try.
An emergency telegram was sent.
"The mountain tribes and the Meng tribes all existed with Meng Yun, or the Burmese people surrounding Meng Yun. Once Meng Yun's 50,000 troops were completely lost, these two groups would not
Take possession and retreat”
"Meng Yun failed to attack the West Bank position continuously, but suffered many casualties and his morale was greatly reduced, and his elite troops were completely lost"
"So, he dare not attack you on his own initiative. You have six regiments under your command, nearly 10,000 people. You must annihilate the Mountain Legion and the Meng Army before the arrival of the arrival of the Mountain Legion, and it is best to capture Meng Yun."
"At present, the attacks of the Burmese people on the east coast are weak. I only need to use a militia division to defend the positions. I have secretly sent three regiments to dispatch. One and a half regiments went north to Kama Fort in the north of Beimu and cut off the mountain tribe's rear
Road”
"A and a half regiment went south to Sindhburg, south of Beimu City, cutting off the Meng people's group's retreat. If you can successfully annihilate the Meng Yun group, then the two reinforcements will definitely flee in horror"
"But there are mountain roads across the river. As long as they occupy Fort Kama and Sindh Fort, they will have to rush into the Alagan Mountains and surrender."
"You don't have to worry about the next thing. Remember, don't kill the Meng army and the mountain army. I need them"
Luo Fangbo acted according to the plan, and the reorganized brigade on the West Bank was attacked inside and outside, Meng Yun was defeated, and three days later he raised a white flag in the camp!
At this time, there were only more than a thousand people around Mengyun.
After learning about Meng Yun's news, the mountain army in the north and the Meng army in the south were naturally shocked and rushed north and fled south, but they were blocked by the Truqin army in Kama Fort and Sindh Fort.
The two men were at a loss. At this time, Meng Yun's order was also issued, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender to the Truqin army. Of course, although the number of people is small, these two movies, which have always been brave and good at fighting, will not surrender like this.
, but it could not resist the Truqin warships cruising on the Irrawaddy River bombarded them with naval guns from time to time.
These two movies have never seen such power, and Qitad sent people to their military camp to find out the benefits and interests. After another ten days, he finally surrendered.
In the end, Qitade and Mengyun reached a "peace" agreement. Qitade did not want to seize the land of the Burmese people. However, Myanmar produced a lot of sulfur, so he reached a sulfur trade with him and moved 100,000 mountain tribes and Meng tribes.
In the agreement to Bangladesh, he promised that he would still retain civilian status after these two movies passed.
The situation in Bangladesh has obviously been heard of in the past eighteen years. With Meng Yun’s threat, they had to move their families there.
For Qitad, continuing to let Meng Yun rule is a good thing that is beneficial to the Truqins, because Meng Yun just came to power, he seized the throne from his nephew, and for the Burmese people in China and
There are not many favors, and they belong to the minority among the Burmese people.
After his confidant tribes were greatly reduced, he had to spend at least ten years continuing to recruit mountain tribes to go south to farm. During that time, he had no chance of attacking the Truqins again.
It is impossible for Meng Bo's descendants to replace him, because the Truqins showed their unparalleled combat power in the Battle of Beimi. Whoever wants to replace Meng Yun needs to be carefully considered.
The Myanmar war here came to an end, and the Indian war there was also coming to an end.
After strengthening the strength of a reorganized division and three militia divisions, Toure's army was close to 50,000. Although the Maratha people opposite were 100,000, and there were also a large number of cavalry and elephant soldiers, the firepower disadvantage was too obvious.
Finally, Toure learned from his father, let the three militia divisions continue to hold their positions, and took two reorganized divisions to the side of the Maratha people.
At the end of the year, two reorganizers of Toure completely defeated the Marathas and captured their leader.
Since the Marathas began to confront the Mughals in the north, the internal division began, and they were no longer the united Maratha alliance before. If there were no British people to coordinate, they would not have been together.
of.
One hundred thousand troops were already the largest force they could deploy, and at this time, Alam II's 50,000 troops had already attacked the Deccan Plateau from the Ganges Plain.
The Maratha finally surrendered.
In the end, the Truchens obtained Jharkhand and Alam II obtained part of the land of the Deccan Plateau states.
After the war, the French completely withdrew from the Bangladesh region. They only owned some sporadic coastal castles on the east coast of India.
With the defeat of the Marathas, the prestige of the British in their minds plummeted. However, from then on, the British changed their thinking. He began to use his same tricks again and roamed the balance among various Marathas.
Based on Mumbai, an army loyal to them and directly affiliated with the East India Company was formed.
Finally, most of the Deccan Plateau Maratha states were unified.
