After listening to Wei Jun's words, Bao Ling immediately grasped the key to "before the peace talks", so he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he said that the other party still wanted to negotiate peace, but when he thought that the other party's last sentence had to get back some compensation, he was full of bitterness.

Isn't the occupation of the whole of India and the island of Ceylon, as well as the capture of Muscat and Aden, not compensation? If we continue to compensate for it, it will not be an overseas colony of the British Empire, but the native of the Kingdom of Great Britain!

Bao Ling couldn't help but defend and plead, but Wei Jun ignored it at all, and he directly emphasized: "Mr. Bao Ling, for the sake of you as our Majesty's deceased, I don't want to take you as an ordinary prisoner, but I can also send someone to send you to Shengjing to see Your Majesty." But I'm a soldier and I make it my duty to obey orders. It is impossible for us to abandon the offensive until we have received orders from His Majesty and the military headquarters.

Remember, the Chinese Empire and Great Britain are belligerents, and our war is not over yet! ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but say that he asked Bao Ling to be taken aside and imprisoned alone, and sent someone to report to the country, and Britain sent Bao Ling as an envoy to seek peace talks, and at the same time sent someone to send Bao Ling to Shengjing.

He himself led the Indian Ocean Fleet to rest in the port of Aden for two days, and then in the next two months, Wei Jun and his Indian Ocean Fleet began to sweep the Red Sea Gulf, the western part of the Indian Ocean, and East Africa.

As long as it was the port and sphere of influence of the British, all were occupied and destroyed, and all the wealth was taken away.

However, when encountering Suez, the northernmost part of the Red Sea, because the Suez Canal was being built at the moment, and it was mainly dominated by the French, coupled with the forts around it were heavily defended, and the warships could not move and dodge when they entered the canal, Wei Jun did not attack Suez, and because the French had several warships docked in Suez to escort them, the Indian Ocean Fleet directly abandoned Suez, but just swept the large and small towns around the Red Sea, and then went straight around the Somali Peninsula and continued to sweep the major ports along the African coast. Aim directly at Cape Town, a major British-controlled colony in southern Africa.

At this time, in the Indian city of Delhi, the Sikh Maharaja and King of the Sikh Kingdom of Punjab, Samit Kumar Singh, was discussing state affairs with his group of members of the Khalsa Order and the ministers of the kingdom.

The fiasco of the British Expeditionary Force made Summit Kumar Singh both happy and disappointed. Happily, the invincible British suffered a great loss, and this time the loss was so great that even if they could not recover from this, they would certainly be greatly damaged, and within a few years they would not be able to return to India and attack their own Sikh country. As for a few years later, even if you have to deal with the Sikhs, you must first defeat the Chinese Empire, the largest force that occupies this place.

Unfortunately, such an outcome did not fit the situation he most hoped for and would be most beneficial to the Sikh Kingdom. The result he originally wanted was that the Na Ying ** team and the Chinese Empire fought to the death, consumed each other, and the most important thing was to stalemate with each other, and their Sikh Kingdom could continue to grow and survive during this period.

And now, not long after the war began, the British expeditionary force was completely defeated and fled, and a large number of troops were directly captured, and this result, to be honest, completely frightened Summitr Kumar! The little Jiujiu that he originally had in his heart disappeared in an instant, and there was only a little bit of loss and fear in his heart.

The military strength of this Eastern Empire is too strong, and its own Sikh Kingdom, even if all the people are soldiers, cannot be compared. Samit Kumar completely lost any intention of rebelling or competing with the Chinese Emperor ** team.

Although the Sikh army is brave and good at fighting, Samit Kumar knows that because of the weapons and military skills, the Sikh army still has a certain gap compared with the British army. The original British Sikh army in India, these were all trained by the British army, and they belonged to the second-rate force in the British army, but such a second-rate force is already an elite force in today's Sikh army.

And the results of the war between the British army and the Chinese Empire have fully proved that it is difficult for the British army of the same size to fight against the fierce Chinese Imperial ** team. In this comparison, it is even more impossible for the Sikh army to compete with the army of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, after seeing the strength of the Chinese Emperor's ** team, Summit Kumar didn't dare to fight at all. Until I saw that the Chinese Empire did not seem to be ready to seize territory, nor did it attack cities and plunder land to expand its territory, but only captured coastal ports and important cities.

It wasn't until he saw other princely princes of India start to grab the empty territory left by the British army after the defeat of the Chinese Empire, that Samit Kumar realized that his suzerainty had no intention of occupying these territories. So Summit's Kumar began to tentatively expand in all directions.

At this time, the princes and nobles of India also expanded their territory dramatically, and many forces inevitably clashed, and war began. Among them, the Sikh kingdom took the opportunity to recover a large number of territories, and its power was further expanded, not only in Punjab and Sindh, where the Sikhs lived, but also successively occupied Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jijarat and even Maharas and other places.

At this moment, the suzerain, the Chinese Empire, issued an order for Samit Kumar to send 50,000 Sikh troops, together with one cavalry field division and five infantry field divisions of the Chinese Empire, to cross the Amu Darya River at Bukhar and reach the Aral Sea, cross the Bukhara Khanate to the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, and prepare to capture the western shore of the Caspian Sea.

An expedition of 50,000 troops, so Summit's Kumar did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned his ministers to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the suzerainty has sent an order, not only for the Sikhs to send 50,000 troops, no less than 20,000 cavalry, but also to provide food for the more than 60,000 troops of the suzerain, in addition, to recruit 5,000 people, the king is very embarrassed, do you have anything to say?"

A Sikh devotee said: "Maharaja, although our Sikh army has grown and grown, with a total of nearly 300,000 troops, because of the vastness of the homeland occupied, 300,000 troops seems to be a lot, but when it is distributed somewhere, there are only a few tens of thousands of people. This time, we will send 50,000 troops, and it is really difficult for our army to be deployed! ”

Another Sikh general said directly: "Yes, Maharaja, we, Sikh brothers, work hard for the Chinese Empire, and the gains outweigh the losses." If these 50,000 troops are transferred to the east, maybe then Bihar will become the territory of my Sikh kingdom. Why not refuse the Chinese Empire and go to Bihar with these 50,000 troops?

It's a big deal, just pay more tribute to the Chinese Empire afterwards! ”

Another Sikh civil servant retorted directly: "The Maharaja must not! The Chinese Empire is now so powerful, and our Sikh Kingdom has finally ushered in such a great development, in fact, most of it depends on the good opportunities created by the Chinese Empire. Now they are asking us to send troops together, and if we refuse, we will completely offend them, and the consequences will be catastrophic! ”
