The huge wealth of many feudal princely states or feudal lords stimulated the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire to continue to plunder, and the weak local armed forces were stabbed and broken like paper paste in front of the powerful Xia Imperial Army, and the scope of robbery by each army far exceeded the area demarcated by the General Staff, which caused greater damage to India and caused more displaced people.

The scope of robbery by the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire was the richest place in the whole of India, and the wealth of the feudal princely states made the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire smack.

Because the British practiced colonial management and plundered wealth through trade, the gap between the rich and the poor in India became wider and wider, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer; The officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire lamented that the gap between the rich and the poor in India was so big, the poor families did not even have overnight food, and the gold and silver in the homes of the feudal princely states were piled up, not to mention the grain and cloth.

For these feudal princely states, British colonial rule had disadvantages and certain benefits, and it had little impact on their personal wealth, and the wealth they had accumulated over the centuries happened to be cheaper than the Xia Empire this time.

Knowing the secret, the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire no longer robbed ordinary Indians, but specialized in robbing the wealth of the princely states and feudal lords in every place, so that the speed of robbery would be faster and the harvest would be greater.

The 9th and 19th armies, while supervising the construction of fortifications by the Indians, frantically transported the Indians to the other side of the Ganges.

Although the four armies that were robbing in front of them stopped robbing ordinary Indians, these ordinary people were not spared, and the torrent of Indians who fled for their lives behind them, like locusts in transit, plundered cleaner than the Xia Empire, so that these Indians were forced to join the ranks of the displaced people.

The homeless ran desperately forward, and the laggards could not find even a leaf, let alone anything else to eat, hoping to be at the forefront of the line and rob the food they could eat.

In order to have a certain advantage in the plunder, many homeless people are spontaneously organized according to their families or regions, they can't deal with the regular army of the Xia Empire, and it is more than enough to rob ordinary people.

There are also fierce battles between organizations for food and other supplies.

The old and infirm, women, children, etc., could not keep up with the speed of this large army, and hung at the back of the group, feeding on grass roots and bark; Lack of food and clothing, and long journeys have led to the death of a large number of Indians.

Now, the sudden decision of the British to move the capital has made those who know the news panic, even the British are afraid of the army of the Xia Empire, and they don't even want the capital, let alone those feudal princes and ordinary people.

The Ganges valley, which has always been the densest place for Indians, has suddenly moved its capital, and without organization, millions or even tens of millions of people have joined the ranks of the migrants, and it is impossible not to have chaos.

The Bay of Bengal has been blockaded and the steamers are out of service.

The trains were all requisitioned by the Doge's Palace to transport soldiers and goods such as gold and silver.

Even the feudal princely states could only move by horse-drawn carriages, and ordinary people could only rely on foot.

The roads were so crowded with people that it was impossible to move at all, and a large number of people were crowded and trampled to death.

Deaths from heat, hunger, panic, fatigue, congested roads, etc., are countless, and no one stops to deal with their aftermath while fleeing for their lives, and many people are trampled to minced meat by the crowd.

Panic can be spread, especially the princely states who are afraid of death, after getting the news, take their treasures and their families and flee to Mumbai in advance.

The princely states have fled, and the untouchables below have no choice but to flee for their lives.

Local government officials were also helpless about this, and they were also afraid of the impact of the flood of refugees, so they had no choice but to flee.

The people of the eastern, southern, and central parts of India are desperately fleeing for their lives in the direction of Mumbai, while the people in the west are fleeing towards the Indus Plain; People who have fled to the surroundings of Mumbai, seeing the crowded crowd, know that they can't survive even in Mumbai, and the smart people choose to continue to flee westward, after all, the Indus Valley is also a grain-producing area; And some people choose to stay, hoping to get help from the British government, but they don't want to think about it, even if the UK is willing to help, it will take more than one month to transport grain from the UK, not to mention that the British government has so much grain? Britain is not a major producer of grain.

The news of the outbreak of the plague was even more frightening, and rumors spread everywhere, which intensified the panic among Indians.

In order to escape for their lives, the primitive nature of human beings was exposed at this time, and the strong people even ignored their wives, children, and the elderly, and joined the fleeing team alone.

The places where the fleeing teams passed were among the poorest places in India, and they simply could not carry so many people who fled, and countless people died of starvation.

In a state of desperation, many elderly people and women with children were forced to stop, or just wait at home to die, perhaps when the crowd passed, the situation would be better; This is a tropical area, and wild vegetables can grow again in a few days, and they hope to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger and survive; The choices of these people allowed them to escape their lives.

When the news reached Britain, the whole cabinet was stunned, the productive forces and relations of production were seriously damaged, the population was massively killed and lost, even if India was recovered, without decades of development, and without a return to the previous state.

At the beginning of December, Field Marshal Frederick Roberts, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, arrived in Mumbai and was stunned by the scene in front of him, this has not yet been a war, the whole of India is in chaos, if these displaced people are relieved, even if all the military rations are taken out, there will be not enough food for these displaced people, if there is no relief, there will be riots, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be torn to pieces by tens of millions of people in an instant.

So the British withdrew all the troops to the island of Salset, sent the navy to block the strait, and sent the army to block the levee to prevent the Indians from reaching the island.

The Indus River Plain is also the grain producing area of India, and the hopeless people began to pour into the Indian Plains frantically, and the various robbery organizations began to form larger organizations.

Many old and infirm people were forced to charge towards the castle by the robbery organization, and the people in front were shot dead by the guards in the castle, and the crowd behind rushed forward on the corpses of the people in front of them, they knew that even if they did not charge, they would starve to death, and if they charged, there might be a glimmer of life.

In this way, the raiding organization also wants to reduce the old, weak, sick and disabled population and reduce the consumption of food.

This raiding organization soon developed into a large ranks, many of which were under the banner of the Rebels.

As long as you break the castle, you can get a lot of food, weapons and ammunition, etc., you can equip the rebel army, and even recruit strong people to join the rebel army, you can rob more and more powerful princely castles and get more food.

When people don't do anything and only rob, the destructive power to society is terrifying.

The exiles plunged the whole of India into chaos. (To be continued.) )
