Chapter 120: The British's Calculations (Addendum)
(Reward for @小帝轩 to promote the elder plus more!) )
Click, click.
The two "steel twists" that had been twisted and deformed were casually thrown to the ground by Zhao Wushuang, making a sound.
The pirates, however, felt as if they had smashed their hearts into scrap metal from these two large knives. In addition to the two pirates who bore the brunt of the attack, the pirates who were about to rush up in the rear were also petrified en masse. I can't close my mouth when I open it wide, but I can't take a step anymore.
This...... Is this still a fucking human?! actually used a pair of flesh and blood palms to twist the solid iron sharp knife into twisted scrap iron? This is the birth of the gods!
I'm afraid that's what most pirates are thinking at the moment. But they're really not safe, and they're wrong. With Zhao Wushuang's current strength, in this era of the end of the law where science and technology are the mainstream, he can indeed be called an immortal. In fact, he did the same in Guangdong. This Dharma body is his humanoid puppet, and it is not wrong to call it an immortal.
Zhao Wushuang secretly thought in his heart: "This Dharma Body is indeed a good thing!" My soul has been continuously strengthened for more than a year, so as soon as I possess this humanoid puppet, the strength and strength of my physical body have increased a lot compared to the previous Battle of Humen. Although it is still a bit hanging to use the flesh to resist cold weapons at will, if you concentrate on luck, it is still no problem to fight a little. ”
The move just now, although it seemed casual, also took some of Zhao Wushuang's thoughts. After all, he is not wearing the heavy "Steel Jiao" giant armor now, that is, flesh and blood. Although this body is far more powerful than mortals countless times, it is comparable to the top martial arts masters.
It's okay to ignore the usual blunt attacks, but if the kind of broadsword or long sword that is designed to kill people will still have some effect on him - it may cut his skin. The situation of catching a knife with a meat palm just now and twisting it into twisted scrap iron is actually the reason why some ingenuity is used.
Bang bang bang.
This time, the swords in the hands of those pirates fell to the ground on their own.
In the face of such a terrifying existence, it's still a hair! Even if there are twenty or thirty more people, it will be the life of the food delivery.
As for the Western pirates and other mercenaries around who originally wanted to see the jokes, they were also completely stunned at the moment. He had already put away his banter and lively expressions, and looked at Zhao Wushuang with a vigilant gaze. It seems that he is still worried about what he will do to himself.
Zhao Wushuang turned his head and glanced at Xiong Li and Lu Wenguang lightly: "Let's go, I've wasted a lot of time." After saying that, he led the two of them away without looking back.
Zheng Lang shouted loudly behind him: "This master brother, please leave your name!" The younger brother Zheng Lang, known as the sea wolf in the rivers and lakes, is still a little famous in this area. Can you ......?"
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Wushuang: "No need. Hello do it yourself, I'm afraid this place is going to be messed up. But if you really have a heart, for the sake of being Chinese, I will let my people contact you first. ”
That Zheng Lang was in ecstasy, and shouted loudly behind him: "A word is a certainty!" ”
After Zhao Wushuang walked away, the pirates under him surrounded him and asked with palpitations, "Big brother, is this person...... Where did it come from? Is he still human? ”
Zheng Lang smiled roughly: "Isn't it a human being or a god?" In any case, he is definitely Chinese. At this time, of course, there is only one purpose for coming here, which is to take a fancy to the treasures of the temple. When the time comes, if there is chaos, as long as we can help him......"
"Then we don't want the treasure?" A younger brother asked.
"If you can really make such strange people, heroes. What is a treasure? There will always be in the future! Zheng Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept staring at the direction where Zhao Wushuang left......
Besides, why was Zao Woushuang so high-profile just now? Of course, it's not just for pretending and coercing, but there are actually reasons.
Judging from the current situation in Tiruvonontabram, Zao Woushuang has basically guessed something.
The whole of India is now largely under the de facto control of the British East India Company, although it is said that the Dragon God Sect has severely damaged some of the British Eastern Expeditionary Force in Guangdong. But in terms of world and real power, Britain is still the undisputed number one power in the world! If they don't want a lot of pirates, speculators, small armies, international mercenaries, etc. to come to Kerala, then these guys will definitely not come.
But now the fact is that the streets of Tiruvonepurum, the capital of Kerala, are full of people of all races and powers! Then there is only one possibility - the British want to deliberately muddy the waters, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!
What does this mean?
In fact, it is very simple, the control of India by the British is only a superficial rule. At a deeper level, India's unique or bizarre cultural practices and religious traditions make it difficult for any outsider to truly control them - which is why India has been "dried" for more than 3,000 years from ancient times to the present, but it has always existed.
It is true that the East India Company ruled through the princes and nobles of the Indian states, but it is important to know that the number of regular troops stationed in the British is too small! If it really completely angered the Indians, and the Asan came to a complete rebellion, then maybe the bigwigs of the East India Company would also have a pain.
Therefore, they will all have a bottom line not to touch. The bottom line is religion!
It is clear that the treasure of the Padmanaba Swami Temple is a religious treasure – an offering made to the gods by kings, nobles and wealthy people throughout the ages. Unless God gives something on its own initiative, it must not be taken from it. Not anyone!
Actually, not to mention the mid-nineteenth century. In Zao Woushuang's previous life, technology and civilization were already highly developed. Attempts by the Indian government and international organizations to carry out protective excavations at the Padmanabha Swami Temple have met with strong opposition from local residents and some of the higher castes. It's been dragging on for decades, but it's just digging up some leftovers, and I haven't even made a thousandth.
But would the East India Company men be indifferent to such a great treasure? Obviously impossible. But it could not be forcefully excavated - it would shake the foundations of British colonial rule in India.
So what to do?
The obvious answer is to muddy the waters!
As long as the East India Company in Kerala releases a little bit of news, so that foreign forces continue to gather here. Greed for treasure, for example, will attract many pretenders. If they end up clashing with the Indians, or forcibly digging up the temple treasures, then the British will be sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Wait until the end and come forward to thunder to suppress foreign forces, then you will make a lot of money!
