With a flattering look on his face, Prawandin said hurriedly: "Singh, the president is wise and powerful. Follow the president without suffering any disadvantages. Hurry up and apologize to the president." He looked at Li Zhen again and said with an apologetic smile: "President, this boy Singer has a stubborn temper. It's not that he doesn't want to submit to the President, it's because he lost many brothers in this battle, and he feels uncomfortable in his heart, and it's hard to change for a while."
Li Zhen snorted and said calmly: "Pravantin, Singh is a man of his own opinion, and he is also a man of several decades. He knows what to say and what not to say. You don't need to explain to him."
"Is that right, Mr. Singh?"
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth rose, revealing a hint of coldness.
Those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish.
If Singer really insists on not surrendering, then Li Zhen can only carry the butcher's knife.
Singer looked at Li Zhen, with a touch of pain in his eyes. He gradually calmed down, his eyes became calmer, and he said unhurriedly: "Li Zhen, in the past when the Qing Dynasty ruled the country, foreigners oppressed China, and the Chinese people were frequently humiliated. They were even brutally massacred. India, like China, was also persecuted by the British. Both sides are suffering countries. Why did China, after its rise, follow the path of foreigners and enslave our Indian people? Have you forgotten? Have you realized the sufferings that the people of your own country have suffered? Only by saving others can you understand the sufferings of others. Please ask the President to withdraw from India and allow the people of India to govern themselves."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, this man was indeed knowledgeable.
It's a pity that different ways don't work together.
Li Zhen could not be persuaded by Singh's words, and counterattacked with a smile: "Your Excellency Singh is wrong, very wrong. The Chinese army is not invading India, nor is it to destroy India. On the contrary, the Chinese army is In order to alleviate the suffering of the Indian people, the British imposed excessive taxes on India, oppressed the people, squeezed money, and shipped countless gold out of India. This was the exploitation of India."
"In the very short period of time Prawanddin was in power, he selected beautiful women to enrich his harem several times, increased taxes, increased the burden on the people, and caused great harm to the people. He also recruited troops on a large scale and was not considerate of the people. Mr. Singh is a A knowledgeable person must know the dangers of the draft, and also know the truth behind official pressure and rebellion."
"Indian people are in a sea of misery, who will save them?"
"nobody."
"People who have power and strength only care about their own enjoyment and their own life and death."
"The Chinese army is different. I led the Chinese army into Nagaland. Guo Songtao quickly promulgated various decrees to reduce people's taxes and burdens, and announced decrees to ensure the safety of the people. A soldier in our army He robbed people and ended up being shot, which shows the degree of compliance with the law. In addition, Guo Songtao also made three chapters of the law on behalf of the people of China and India to protect the people to the greatest extent."
"If you go to Nagaland, you will know the reputation of the Chinese army among the people."
"A government that cares about the people, protects the people, and thinks about the people at all times. Isn't this just what came into being to save the people of India? Isn't it exactly what the people expect?"
Li Zhen stared at Singer with sharp eyes.
debate.
Who is afraid of whom?
Singer's face changed drastically and he opened his mouth to refute Li Zhen.
However, what Li Zhen stated was factual and well-founded. Whether it was the previous British or the dynasty established by Prawangdin, they all blindly plundered the people without giving any benefits to the people and showing no consideration for the people's sentiments. On the contrary, Li Zhen The series of policies that Zhen implemented after arriving in Nagaland were truly for the sake of the people.
Your own family members know their own affairs, and the more so, the harder it is to refute them.
Singer clearly knew that Li Zhen was invading, but this invader adopted a soft policy that made it more acceptable to the people. This was precisely Singer's weakness that was difficult to counterattack.
Singh took a deep breath and said loudly: "Even if you are eloquent, I will not submit to you. An invasion is an invasion. No matter what you say, it cannot change the fact of invading India. I would rather die than surrender."
"Ha,...he would rather die than surrender."
Li Zhen looked coldly and shouted: "Whoever comes, drag him out and kill him."
"President, wait a minute."
Prawangdin looked at Li Zhen longingly and said, "President, please allow me to persuade you."
Li Zhen nodded, and Prawangdin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Prawandin tugged Singh's arm and shouted: "Apologise to the president, hurry up."
Singh waved his hand and broke away from Prawandin's hand and said: "You are you, I am me, you have your attitude towards life, and I have my own ideas. I would rather die than surrender."
"you……"
Prawandin was so angry that he wanted to slap Singh twice.
If Singer hadn't been a relative of his, he wouldn't have tried so hard to persuade her.
Singer looked at Li Zhen and said loudly: "Everyone will die, and I will die for my country without regrets."
Li Zhen waved his hand, and the soldiers who had already entered dragged Singh out of the camp. After a while, a gunshot rang out in the military camp. After hearing this, Prawandin's mental outlook became even more aged. He was originally He had no children and no heirs. Singer was his only relative. At least he still had blood inheritance, but after Singer's death, the family bloodline was cut off.
Li Zhen said: "Go down, rest for a day, and go straight to Calcutta tomorrow."
Everyone bowed respectfully and then left the camp.
…
Gosba.
Xi Changzhen's life was leisurely and comfortable. He confirmed that Prawandin personally led troops to approach the city of Agartala, and things became easier. The fighting with Zhang Zhidong almost stopped, with only a few occasional fights. Cannon, make some noise.
Outside the city, the sun is shining brightly.
The soft sunlight shines down, making it very comfortable on the body.
On the hillside, there is a table and two chairs.
The people sitting were actually Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong, two hostile people, but now they were sitting together drinking tea and chatting. Zhang Zhidong was actually quite resentful of Xi Changzhen because of the failure he had suffered when leading his troops, but the two After acting together to deceive Prawangdin and having frequent conversations, Zhang Zhidong's attitude towards Xi Changzhen changed 360 degrees and he introduced Xi Changzhen as his senior.
"Report,."
A loud voice came from the mountains.
Xi Changzhen's guard quickly ran up, raised his hand in salute, and said loudly: "Sir, the British army has entered Gosiba City. Because our soldiers blocked the pass, the British army is still blocked outside."
"what happened."
Xi Changzhen raised his eyebrows, showing surprise.
Why are the British here?
Zhang Zhidong also looked up, feeling surprised.
The guard looked serious and replied: "According to the news from the soldiers guarding the checkpoint in front, the British are ready to help you deal with the Chinese army. They said that you will definitely not refuse."
After Xi Changzhen heard this, his expression became solemn. Fortunately, he sent troops to blockade the various checkpoints in Gosba City to prevent people from approaching the battlefield. If the checkpoints had not been set up to blockade people, the British would have rushed directly to find Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong drinking tea. This is interesting.
Now, is there still a chance to save?
Xi Changzhen waved his hand to let the guards leave, and said: "Governor Zhang, we must discuss a countermeasure. Since this British army is here, and since our relationship has not been discovered yet, we will devise a trap to let They get in and kill them in one fell swoop. Killing this force will definitely be a huge blow to the British."
"I agree."
Zhang Zhidong stood up and said excitedly.
