Section 942 Aamir Khan's troubles
"The walls of the Chinese buildings in Kolkata are so high!" The steward made a gesture and reported to Aamir Khan, the governor of the Mughal Empire in Bengal.
The butler spoke of the military situation in Calcutta, yes, the Chinese had a strong musket team there, which had been inspected in public, tsk, the line was really straight!
They built strong fortifications, their fleets still cruising overseas, and they even formed an Indian army!
"Do you see them (Indians) training?" Aamir Khan's heart moved, and he asked the steward.
So the housekeeper explained the situation, and the Chinese really formed a thousand-strong Indian army, organized them to train, and ran every day.
What kind of "police" are the Chinese still organizing to maintain order in the market?
Also, they opened a "school" and began to teach their Chinese, and those who were admitted to the school were free of tuition and miscellaneous fees, and they heard that they had a good future and were ready to become officials......
Aamir Khan sent the butler away and paced around the house, his mind in turmoil!
He's in big trouble!
The major problems of the previous defeat and the fall of Dhaka, the capital of Bengal Province, were finally settled by him, and then his political enemies accused him of losing his land, and sat back and ignored him as the governor in vain!
Originally, he agreed with the Chinese to lease 20,000 acres of land in Kolkata Province, but at that time, everyone said that it was good, and the Chinese honestly signed the contract.
Unexpectedly, the people below did something bad and delayed handing over the land, which angered the Chinese.
Now 20,000 acres of land has become 200,000 acres of land, and the Chinese said that this is land obtained in a bloody battle, and it cannot be returned, and if you want to take it back, then come to war!
War?
If only I could defeat it, Dhaka wouldn't have been lost in the first place.
Aamir Khan sent his steward to negotiate with the Chinese in a low voice, willing to redeem the land at a preferential price, but the Chinese did not allow it, and the steward came back and said that the Chinese just wanted to occupy the land, and they seemed to have a great plan to gain a foothold here!
It must be clearly discerned that the centralized government system of the Chinese empire did not exist in the three continents of Afghanistan at that time. When the Eastern and Western colonists arrived in India, whether it was the Portuguese in the early days, the French and the British later, and even the Chinese who followed, they groped in this strange land and found that India at this time was not a unified country at all. Whether on the Malabar coast on the west coast or Madras or Bengal on the Bay of Bengal coast, the authority of the Mughal emperors was so distant that the governor of these regions, the Nawab (governor), or the princely kings, might not even recognize the suzerainty of the Mughals.
Aamir Khan could not actually be the Mughal emperor of Delhi, but he needed a name for righteousness.
Now his foundation is shaking, and the two great families of Bengal province have joined forces to oppose his rule, and if they succeed, they will die without a place to bury!
They excused him for his defeat and loss of land, and his army was demoralized by the defeat, and to add insult to injury, his property was heavily damaged, and his political enemies were bribing his generals and high-ranking officials with money.
As an experienced politician, he understands the virtue of those guys too well, and if he has milk, he is a mother, and it is easy to ask them to defect!
As for the excuses of those political opponents, Aamir Khan scoffed at them, and he dared to assert that if they came to power, they would turn a blind eye to the Chinese occupation of land when they found that they could not deal with the Chinese.
Aamir Khan's reign was in jeopardy, the political struggle was so harsh that there was no civilization to speak of, and the loser was killed!
As long as he gives up his rights, he won't see the sun the next day!
Aamir Khan nervously calculated the pros and cons, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes!
……
Not to mention that the former naturalized Chinese Hongmao Cabot served as the governor of Calcutta, and he received a "vocational" education, leading his subordinates to do business in the red and red fruit fields: infrastructure work in the city and countryside, land development, colonial structure, etc., and he felt very happy.
At that time, there were few people, and the governor had to go into battle, in addition to the city planning was decided by him, but also to establish a ruling power, it was important that they develop 200,000 acres of land, not a joke, these lands will provide food for the surrounding colonies, and even support the westward march of the army.
There are a lot of affairs, and the infrastructure project is the presence of the Chinese military and civilians coming to Kolkata, which should not be underestimated.
They did not dare to use water from rivers, not even wells, so they found a spring in the mountains, from where they brought water to the city, and then flowed along the pipes that had been set up.
In particular, a "Water Source Management Method" was promulgated, and if anyone dares to pollute the water source, they will all be forced to do hard labor!
They are very afraid of the ability of the three pots to pollute the environment.
Although the Chinese show respect for the sacred cow, it is strictly forbidden to go on the streets in the new city of Kolkata.
In fact, it was only when the Chinese came that Sanguo really saw what a hygienic and civilized and modern lifestyle was, and they understood what law, fairness, justice and integrity were.
Later, an Englishman visited Calcutta and was amazed to say: "The civilized order of Calcutta is better than that of London!" ”
While everyone was in good spirits, Cabot received a report that the governor's butler had come again, and that he had something important to discuss.
Cabot then met the butler at the new governor's palace.
The Governor's Palace of Kolkata is the kind of two-storey long-row western-style building, the first floor is an arcade, the red roof, the gate in the middle of the building is a pillar type, straight up, magnificent, there is a fish pond in front, the cement road goes straight to the main entrance, the courtyard is widely planted with flowers and trees to decorate, and the workers are pruning, those people are Ah San.
Although they were very stupid and unpunctual, the Chinese finally reversed their work style and adopted various methods, and all the workers were trained before taking up their posts, indeed.
The Doge's Palace, which was built by the Chinese in just three months, worked overnight in three shifts, with no holidays for the workers, and Cabot volunteered as long as he was in the Doge's Palace and on Sundays off, as did the rest of the staff.
Sanguo, who knew the situation, saw this governor's palace, and their faces were all dumbfounded, they never dreamed that such a large building would be completed in such a short time, accommodating the governor and the subordinates of the governor's yamen to work here.
Cabot himself was very pleased with his new office space, which he helped design and build.
The southeastern country is very rich, and it is willing to spend money, and the military personnel in foreign countries have high allowances and improved garrison conditions, and in order to show the prestige of the Chinese, they have built official facilities on a large scale, and the Kolkata Governor's Palace is one of them.
Aamir Khan's butler, Rahman, got out of the carriage and stood in front of the gate of the Governor's Palace, secretly amazed.
In the past, he didn't finish it when he came, but this time he came to finish it, and he was an Indian, and he wanted to finish it in three months? Three years will not work!
In the reception hall of the Governor's Palace, there are glittering crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, mahogany furniture is placed, the floor tiles are made of large pieces of granite, and the walls are also granite, which is full of magnificence.
Accompanied by the foreign affairs officer, Cabot received Rahman, invited him to sit down, drank tea, and asked cordially: "My friend, do you have any good news for me?" ”
Knowing that time was pressing, Rahman got straight to the point: "By the command of my lord, if my lord is loyal to your king, what will you do to him?" ”
