Watching Bao Ling and Burbulon leave in a gloomy manner, Feng Yunshan did not have a trace of excitement. On the contrary, he was a little worried.

Although he had a tough attitude towards Bao Ling and Bourblon, he still hoped that it would be best to clash with Britain and France later. What the empire needs most at the moment is time to develop.

With the advantage of China, the world's largest population, as well as its vast territory, rich territorial resources, and his own planning and control of the direction of the imperial era, Feng Yunshan has reason to believe that as long as he does not encounter a nest court like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with enough time, China will naturally develop into a powerful country.

But the most important thing is this time, how long will Britain, France and other powers tolerate it? In Feng Yunshan's view, when he originally occupied Shanghai, defeated the foreigners who helped the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also attacked and occupied the concession, he offended Britain and France to death, and took back the concession, although it did not take back its real estate and factories, but only made the foreigners unable to set up an army, but even so, it still made it seriously lose face and have no security. Therefore, Feng Yunshan knew that with the arrogant and arrogant nature of foreigners, he would inevitably find his way back. It's just a matter of time. And this time depends on the end of the Crimean War.

In fact, in the original history, Britain and France had long been preparing to launch the Second Opium War, but it was delayed until the end of the Crimean War, when surplus warships and troops were sent to the Far East, that they found a "Yarrow Incident" and a "Horse Priest Incident" to create a pretext for war. Feng Yunshan still remembers that after the occupation of Crimea was over, the British army sent thousands of troops to attack Guangzhou tentatively, and then due to a large-scale uprising in India itself, the British army could not send more troops, and could only conquer Guangzhou after stabilizing the situation in India. Then, due to the lack of reinforcements, they suffered a crushing defeat when they sent thousands of people to attack Dagukou in Tianjin, and had to wait until all the Indian rebels were suppressed before the troops were withdrawn, and the French army formed a coalition of nearly 20,000 troops to capture Dagukou until the city of Beijing.

In other words, there is still more than half a year to go, and a large-scale uprising will break out in India, which will hold the British army overseas to the death! It's a pity that this Ah San's uprising didn't seize a good time, and Feng Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for it. If they had been able to revolt on a large scale after the British had drawn troops from India, when the Crimean War was still at its worst, and had been able to unite against the British colonists, it was likely that they would have succeeded in gaining independence in some areas, at least not in two years.

But alas, they didn't choose the right time. Historically, they happened when the Crimean War was completely over, and the British army was surplus and no longer dragged on by the war. As a result, the British were able to quickly mobilize forces to India to suppress it.

But now it's different, I don't know why, the Crimean War has not ended, and although the Indian uprising has not yet broken out, it is about to break out without interference, according to the trend of history. If only I could find a way to send someone to stir up this matter and let it break out in advance. At the very least, the British, tired of dealing with the Indian revolt, were powerless to deal with themselves.

Feng Yunshan vaguely remembered that the trigger for the outbreak of a large-scale uprising in India was the problem of oiling bullets called the Meerth Incident, when there were rumors that the new bullets of the British East India Company were lubricated with lard and tallow and applied to the bullets of muskets. Soldiers had to bite through the paper casings of these bullets with their teeth before loading them, so that the soldiers would inevitably "eat" the lard or butter. However, many of the soldiers recruited by the British army in India believed in Hinduism and Islam, and these Hindus and Muslims were the most taboo to touch the fat of pigs and cows with their mouths, so they refused to use these bullets.

Soon after, the Meerut incident occurred in the western city of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The British authorities in India sentenced 85 of the 85 soldiers in Meerut to seven years in prison for refusing to use the new bullet containing lard. In addition, the British officers called a meeting of all the officers, stripped the uniforms of the 85 soldiers in public, and put them in shackles and sent to prison. The Indian soldiers could not bear it anymore and decided to launch an uprising. While the British officers were praying in the church, they opened the cells, released the arrested, and burned down the homes, churches, barracks, and government offices of the British colonists, and the British revolt broke out.

And from this process, what he has to do is to prompt them to break out in an uprising in advance. If there is no fuse, it will be provided to them. Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan's face was full of smiles.

Feng Yunshan scoffed at the "center of the Asian revolutionary storm" mentioned in later history textbooks. When will Ah San be able to guide Asia? Being ruled by the colonizers for so many years, and even later arguing with China over the territorial issue of southern Tibet, Feng Yunshan trampled it under his feet sooner or later, and did not give them a chance to rise at all.

Feng Yunshan retracted his reverie, and the most important problem now is to send a-stirring stick to India. So, Feng Yunshan summoned Zuo Zongtang and Fan Ruzeng, and such tasks can only be carried out by these two people together.

At the beginning, it was still the era of the Holy King, Chen Yucheng and they captured six or seven hundred British troops in the Battle of Humen Fort, and among them, 119 Indian soldiers surrendered to the captive army. These Indian soldiers, after several wars, now only have more than 80 people left, but more than 30 of them have passed the test and become trusted soldiers of the captive army, and they have already taken their families from India to Guangzhou through the Nanyang Company to settle down, and are determined to serve the new country.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be very satisfied with Wu Chongyao, the governor of Guangdong and the minister of commerce. After Wu Chongyao was appointed governor of Guangdong, he built a new city on the west bank of the Pearl River outside Guangzhou, called Xiguan World City. Outside this Xiguan World City, it looks no different from other small towns, but in fact it is heavily guarded, and people outside cannot enter and exit at will, while people inside, although they can come out, there are people secretly watching.

In fact, since last year, Wu Chongyao has entrusted people to bring the families of all registered Western craftsmen and technicians to Guangzhou and arrange for them to live in this world city. For a time, these foreign technicians who came to China were very moved, and their families had no worries about food and clothing, so that they could take root in the ancient country of China more wholeheartedly and serve the Chinese Empire. For Wu Chongyao, in fact, the family members of these foreigners are under house arrest, and as hostages, they have no way to secretly escape or rebel against the empire, they can only regard themselves as the subjects of the empire wholeheartedly.

Feng Yunshan asked Zuo Zongtang to gather all the three Indian officers serving in the captive army and the ten Indian soldiers in the secret service department, and sent two special service officers to disguise themselves as Indians and mix in with these Indian spies as the two responsible persons. Fan Ruzeng directly asked him to set up five special teams, each group of three people, to infiltrate India, especially in Meerut, Delhi, Jangsi, Kanpur, Lucknow and other places in northern and central India, spreading rumors, inciting the dissatisfaction of local Indian soldiers, and actively preparing to lead the Hindu rebellion.

At the same time, Feng Yunshan also asked Fan Ruzeng to come forward to liaise with the opposition forces in small countries such as Nepal and Bhutan, believing that they hoped to get the support of the powerful Chinese Empire. In particular, the Shah Dynasty established by the Gurkha King of Nepal was seized military and political power by the Rana family a few years ago with the support of the British, and obtained the status of hereditary prime minister, making the Shah King a puppet. Originally, the Shah Dynasty was a vassal state of the Manchu Dynasty, and now the Chinese Empire, which has accepted everything from the Manchu Dynasty, is obliged to help Nepal on the right path.
