Among the people of the entire late Ming Dynasty, the one who is still alive but the most unsatisfactory is Wu Sangui.

Calcutta, a small village at the outlet of the Ganges, was in his third year guarding the outer lands for the East India Company.

I have to admit that gold will shine anywhere, and he can be the biggest traitor in the late Ming Dynasty in history, and he can also pounce on himself as a Great Zhou Emperor before he dies, Wu Sangui really has two brushes, and Kolkata at this time is no longer the Kolkata village of three years ago, and now it has completely developed into a small city.

From the estuary of the Ganges River to the upstream, the muddy pond where the three brothers drove the elephant to wash the mud and bath was all leveled, the cement port of the clear water, the silt and sand and gravel at the mouth of the river were also pulled out of the sea, and the merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty could drive out more than ten miles without fighting.

The sand dug out is not in vain, from the Wuwei fortress on the hill pier on the shore to the northwest, stretching a series of urban areas have also begun to appear in scale, next to Wuwei Fort is the nearest is the Ming people, that is, the Chinatown in the mouth of the three brothers, Qingyi'er cement bricks three-storey building, staggered into a wireless network arc, bright under the sun, the pale yellow small building looks brilliant, between the spacious roads, there are constantly four-wheeled carriages with heavy goods passing through, prosperous tight.

Kolkata is located in the tropics, every year in March can often have a Taiwan scenery patronage, the original kind of wooden Tang architecture is beautiful, but here is not so practical, it is extinct, on the contrary, from the heavy stupid guy in Liaodong has completely become the mainstream, and cement building plus accessories are also much more convenient than wood building, especially with a function, particularly strong.

Leaning on the river, next to each street, a series of huge cement aqueducts have been built, and the big waterwheels pushed by the river water in the Ganges River lift the river water into the canal, and then flow down the channel to the rows of three-storey small buildings on the side, and there are water pipes for discharging water in the sandwich wall between the buildings, and along the water pipes, these cool river water can flow out for two or three thousand meters.

This thing is not tap water, because the three brothers have a "love" for this holy river, bathing, brushing their teeth and pouring a night pot, from time to time there is a corpse floating on the surface of the water, the bacteria are seriously exceeded, and the Ming immigrants in the city mainly drink the groundwater filtered by sediment, this holy river water, I really dare not drink it!

The main role of these dirty Ganges water is air conditioning! There is no winter in Kolkata, and the maximum temperature in the summer is more than 40 degrees, and it is barbecued outside, and wet steaming inside the house. But the flowing water passes through the channels specially left by the house, and the evaporation and flow absorb a lot of heat, and there is a wall of water through it, and the indoor temperature plummets by at least more than 20 degrees in high temperatures.

The British established the East India Company, and the most employees lost the most every year not by the natives, but by the heat, and seeing a few craftsmen from Yangzhou designing this natural air conditioner, sitting in the cool new office, the British accountants in Calcutta hugged their heads and cried on the spot like children.

To the south of Wuweibao, separated by a tributary of the Henghe River, it is the settlement area of those Indian natives, Wu Sangui did not want to do isolation, but later found that there was really no way to isolate it.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said during the Great Famine in India: They deserve it, who let them give birth to a large number of children like rabbits, the poorer they are, the poorer they are, maybe the Great Famine can control the population! This undisguised disdain also shows the dense population of the Indian natives, who now have nearly 50,000 Indian natives making a living around Calcutta, and the dense dilapidated houses are like a pile of garbage on the horizon.

And the living habits of the native people are too different from the Tang people, open defecation, the whole street is stinky and coaxing, in the summer it is full of flies and mosquitoes to spread infectious diseases, the lower class Indians are still feudal superstition to the extreme, the settlement area is the most gorgeous building is a variety of temples, the monks have great power, you can say what is what, the small people at the bottom followed and listened, the folk girls of about twelve years old, pretty, were pulled away by the monks in the temple, said to be a saint, in fact, they are all public temple prostitutes, This Ming man built the city, and the three brothers were reluctant to collect taxes, but they rushed to donate the best food and money to the temple.

There was another time when these flower monks were so bold that they robbed a Tang girl and insulted him in the temple.

As soon as this happened, Wu Sangui, who regarded human life as a mustard, didn't care about the commotion that might be caused among the natives and the impact on his power, so he took a dozen personal soldiers and went directly with knives, and as soon as the door was closed, there were terrible screams and the crunch sound of metal entering the flesh in the temple that didn't know whether the monkey god or the elephant god was broken, and the blood gurgled down the street, carrying a knife that had chopped the blade, Wu Sangui killed like a Shura, and snatched the Tang girl back.

It's not that Wu Sangui is more righteous, how much he loves the people like a son, but he really thinks that these inferior people are not worthy!

After this incident, the Tang settlement area and the natives were also completely separated.

However, after this incident, it also strengthened Wu Sangui's determination to conquer this subcontinent, the most noble monks were slaughtered by him, returned to Dingwu Fort, he was ready to fight the Turen at any time, but the result was that several monks from the main temples of the Turen carried gold and treasures, and knelt in a large row at the gate of Dingwu Fort with tears in tears, begging for Wu Sangui's forgiveness.

Soft as persimmons, it's good to rule, no wonder Indian history is like a bus, whoever catches whom!

However, what made Wu Sangui unhappy was that for this densely populated and fertile huge continent, the East India Company still did not pay enough attention to it for three years, so that he was full of ambition, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

At present, there are only 500 Tang people in Calcutta, even if there are only 5,000 or 6,000 people in the big family with their families, and the hundreds of merchants and floating population of the East India Company who have come here to do business, the soldiers under his command, some of the old troops who have received his letter from Daming over the years, are only more than 300 people and three brigades.

He pulled up more than a thousand police forces of the natives, but this combat effectiveness? Wu Sangui once scolded angrily, chasing a group of geese may make the other party capture seventy or eighty.

It is said that people are forced out, in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui did not think about any cultural construction at all, to this Calcutta, in Dingwu Fort he actually built a private school, hired Mr. in the country, a spacious classroom, more than 200 and the East India Company had business dealings with the rich businessmen's children there shook their heads and followed the three-character scripture to talk about the Analects, for these mud can not support the wall, Wu Sangui can only hope that the old master Confucius can make them change a little.

Recently, however, good news and bad news have come together, which can change the situation in India, which is at a loss.

An unprecedented batch of large-scale immigration trends is coming, and the remnants of Zuo Liangyu led by Zuo Mengeng of 30,000 people have completed the rectification in the country and are about to come here!

Thirty thousand! Even if only seven or eight thousand combatable troops can be drawn out, it will be enough to do something in Tianzhu! But Wu Sangui didn't seem to be happy.

In the war room of Dingwu Fort, a combat sand table carved out by Wu Sangui's words for three years is finely displayed on the table, and the north is now the first assistant Jida of Bangladesh, pointing at the sand table, and the Huipu monk who is also the old military division of the Wu family in Liaodong is holding a stick, analyzing the battle strategy for Wu Sangui little by little.

"The Marathas in the northeast to Kulna have always been at odds with the Mughals, nominally subservient, but every year they still raid around restlessly, and the goods of our East India Company have also been robbed twice, this time arrange a caravan to go over, these Marathas will definitely not be able to resist the temptation to make a move, and then the lord will go to the Bengali Wab to plead."

"Now Shah Jahan is leviing money for his favorite concubine everywhere to build a Taj Mahal, and sixty percent of Bangladesh's taxes have been collected, Nawab will definitely not be willing to provoke the fierce Marathas for us, but if the lord asks for revenge, Nawab will probably not refuse, which gives us the opportunity to mobilize troops and take the opportunity to swallow the Kulna princely state, and the 30,000 left army will be settled!"

"Now that this Shah Jahan is rampant, it won't be long before his country is stable, as long as there is some chaos in his Central Plains Ganges Plain, we will take the opportunity to seize his entire Bengal, this land is richer than our Liaodong!"

"But the East India Company appointed Zuo Mengeng, the yellow-haired boy, to serve as the military governor of Bangladesh!"

The unhappiness in his heart completely exploded, Zuo Liangyu was ambitious and coveted here for two or three years, suffering for two or three years, and in the end, a boy with no hair grew came to his neck to, Wu Sangui was happy.

However, looking at him slapping the table angrily, the fat and loose old face of Monk Hewlett-Packard couldn't help but show a smile.

"Master General, you still don't practice enough!"

"Why do you think Zuo Mengeng can become this governor?"

"He's got 30,000 fucking remnants! Damn! I knew that there was still this place in the world, Lao Tzu and him Li Zicheng called a yarn, and our Guan Ning Tieqi directly voted for the emperor and his old man, and now the whole of Bangladesh is Lao Tzu! ”

Thinking of those iron horses in the past, Wu Sangui couldn't help but sigh, but when the monk heard this, he smiled and said.

"Yes, Zuo Mengeng can be this military governor, relying on the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, what if these 30,000 people are the generals?"

Obviously, his heart was beating violently, but after a while, Wu Sangui still shook his head hesitantly: "Will the East India Company let it go?" Your Majesty may"

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, even Wu Sangui, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was also afraid of being beaten in front of the military appearance of the Liaodong army, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Mughal Empire, he could not do it without the support of the East India Company behind him, which is also the reason why Wu Sangui was depressed for so long, he did not dare to offend Mao Jue.

"Lord General, this is the reason why Your Majesty can become the emperor, you are still just a city guard, Your Majesty wants the New World, and does not hesitate to divide the titles of real power, the court pays only in name, but in exchange for a new area of Nagong, a new market for the East India Company, Your Majesty also wants Tianzhu, Lord General, do you say that he cares who dedicates this land to him?"

"As for how to get the military power of the Left Army, you are an expert, and the old man doesn't say much!"

It's really old is experience, and through the analysis of this old monk, Wu Sangui is really bright.

But in the world, there are so many things, and before he could start planning with great ambition, a personal soldier suddenly ran in from outside the door, and hurriedly knelt on one knee.

"My lord, Jidanawab has sent an envoy to summon you to Jida quickly! Say it's an important matter to discuss! ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people have the intention of hurting the tiger, and the tiger has the desire to eat people's hearts!

Stunned for a moment, Wu Sangui still stood up suddenly.

"Armor!"
