Historically, the Indians have long been conquered by the Aryans who came from the west. Most of the dynasties that emerged in India later were also almost all founded by descendants of the Aryans. The indigenous Indians were exploited and enslaved. And, over thousands of years, these indigenous Indians have been completely tamed, and they are very content with the status quo. This is also the reason why the British were able to conquer India so quickly.

It is equivalent to the oppression and exploitation of the Indian natives by the British colonies, and the princes and nobles of those princely states undoubtedly oppressed the Indian natives even more. Therefore, the accusations of the British colonial authorities of oppressing the Indians by those damned Indian princes are completely unfounded.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? Now the whole of India is in shambles. "Lord Stanley has some concerns. The whole of India is in chaos, and the system of domination of the Indian colonial authorities, so to speak, has been destroyed. This means that the basis of their rule over India has been destroyed. When the time comes, they will not get taxes and food. This would be a fatal blow to the Indian colonial authorities.

"Hell! Damn Indians, one day I'll hang them all! The Marquis of Dalhousie said through gritted teeth. He now experienced the feeling that the roof leak happened to rain overnight. If not, maybe they would still be able to hold on, and maybe they would be able to resist the attack of the Chinese. But now, it's completely finished.

"Come on, go get Colin. General Campbell is here, and now there's an emergency! The Marquis of Dalhousie looked lost and helpless. He knew that under this series of blows, British colonial rule in India. Maybe that's the end of it. And he will become the last viceroy of British India. This would be a great shame for him and his family.

"Yes. Your Excellency the Governor! "The staff of the Governor's Palace, immediately call the Anglo-Indian Army Command.

Colin. Admiral Campbell is coming soon, so he can't help but be in a hurry! The British army in India was only 200,000 men. If you want to hold Kolkata, you have to rely on the Indians. The officers and soldiers of the Anglo-Indian army and the local princes and nobles of India were their hope to hold Calcutta. But now it seems that these dependencies are gone. This has put the Indian colonial authorities in an almost desperate situation!

"Your Excellency the Governor, those Indians have betrayed us. Those Indians in the British and Indian armies, we can't trust them anymore! "Colin. Admiral Campbell said. Though. Without these British and Indian officers and soldiers, it would be very difficult to hold Calcutta, but this is better than these Indian and Asan's counterattacks!

"Hmm!" The Marquis of Dalhousie nodded, realizing the threat involved. If by the time the Chinese* army attacks Calcutta, those Indian Asan and the Chinese should join forces inside and outside, then Calcutta will be completely finished.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the General. If we didn't rely on those Indians, would we have enough troops to defend Calcutta? Lord Stanley asked.

The unit of the British Home Army in India. There were only four infantry corps, two hundred thousand people. Among them, the 17th Infantry Corps has been completely annihilated in the Kingdom of Afghanistan. The 18th Infantry Corps and the 19th Infantry Corps were also damaged on the Bengal battlefield. It is also very difficult to say whether the remaining troops will be safely evacuated to Calcutta. The only army with full strength was the 20th Infantry Corps. They wanted to hold Calcutta with 50,000 men of the 20th Infantry Corps. That's absolutely impossible.

Sure enough, Lord Stanley's words were finished. Marquis of Dalhousie and Colin. Admiral Campbell's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the General. Perhaps we can distinguish from those British and Indian armies a part of the officers and soldiers who were truly loyal to the British Empire. Although most Indians have been seduced by the Chinese. It's starting to rebel against us. However, there are still some Indian princes and nobles who are on our side. With their support, we may be able to hold on for a while! Lord Stanley said.

The Marquis of Dalhousie frowned, then looked at Colin. Admiral Campbell.

"Frankly speaking, there is a certain problem with this. However, if we can carefully screen them, we may be able to select some of the officers and soldiers who are really our end! "Colin. Admiral Campbell said.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, and try not to let those who resist us get involved!" Marquis Dalhousie said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Colin. Admiral Campbell nodded, of course he knew how much of a stake was involved.

In order to ensure the safety of Calcutta, the Indian Governor, Marquis Dalhousie, ordered that all Indian Asans be driven out of Calcutta. This was done in order to avoid waiting for the Chinese* army to attack Calcutta, and these Indian asamli should be joined together. In addition, the 20th Infantry Corps of the British Army began to screen the British and Indian troops, and those who had the slightest suspicion were eliminated. As a direct result, the number of Anglo-Indian troops who eventually remained in Calcutta was very scarce. However, even though the Indian colonial authorities were very careful in screening, there were still many princes and nobles who mixed in. According to the treaty signed between the princes and nobles of the Indian princely states and the Chinese Empire, when the army of the Chinese Empire and the Anglo-Indian army fought a decisive battle, the princely states should help the Chinese Empire as much as possible.

Of course, this is also to help the princely states. After all, if the war goes on for longer, it hurts their interests. And, if the British turn the tables around, they will have to suffer even more destruction. Therefore, it was only natural that these Indian princely states would help the Chinese Empire as much as possible.

In Colin. Under the orders of Admiral Campbell, hundreds of thousands of British and Anglo-Indian troops deployed in Bengal began to retreat. And, in order to ensure their own security, the 18th and 19th Infantry Corps of the British Army were the first to retreat, followed by the armies of the princely states loyal to the British. The armies of the remaining princely states remained behind. This led directly to the rout of the British and Anglo-Indian armies.

Those troops who stayed behind directly surrendered to the Chinese Empire, leading the Chinese Empire's armies to pursue the British and Anglo-Indian armies. Pursued by the Imperial Army, the 18th and 19th Armies of the British and Indian armies ran wild in Bengal like lost dogs. In addition, they were constantly attacked by troops from the princely states of India, which caused them heavy losses. Escaping back to Calcutta safely is just a dream.

Similarly, in western India, the Anglo-Indian armies that resisted the 7th Army of the Imperial Chinese Army and the armies of the Kingdom of Afghanistan mostly chose to surrender directly to the Imperial Army after receiving orders from the princes and nobles from the princely states. Only a handful chose to continue fighting. However, with most of the Anglo-Indian army having surrendered, the Anglo-Indian defense line was already full of holes, and it was even more impossible to resist the attack of the Imperial* army. The Imperial army was able to march all the way from western India to Delhi.

By the end of September 1854, the Imperial Army's 7th Army was very close to Delhi. Colonel Niu Zhiyang of the Imperial* Military Intelligence Agency, acting with the command of the 7th Army. Because he has more important things to do.

"Commander, Colonel Niu Zhiyang asks to see you!" In the commander of the 7th Army, a junior officer reported to the commanders, Lieutenant General Zhou Hao and Lieutenant General Zheng Benqing.

"Oh? Please! "Although I don't know what Colonel Niu Zhiyang is doing, Lieutenant General Zhou Hao and Lieutenant General Zheng Benqing are still very enthusiastic. After all, this time the 7th Army was able to take India so lightly and encircled and annihilated the 17th Infantry Corps of the British Army, which is indispensable to the contribution of the Military Intelligence Agency. If it hadn't been for the MIA's rebellion against Prince Akbar and a coup d'état, the British might have fled back to India.

In addition, after the re-invasion of India, the contact between the military intelligence bureau and the local princely states of India also made the Imperial Army a lot less troublesome, and at the same time obtained a lot of information. This allows the Imperial Army to easily find the enemy's vulnerabilities and defeat them.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, good evening!" Colonel Niu Zhiyang was not arrogant just because his father was a field marshal of the Imperial Army. He was nothing more than a colonel, and the commander and chief of staff of the 7th Army were both lieutenant generals of the Imperial Army.

"Good evening, Colonel. Is there anything you want to see us so late? Lieutenant General Zhou Hao asked.

"Commander, this is a telegram from China, a telegram signed by His Majesty the Emperor." Colonel Niu Zhiyang handed a telegram to Lieutenant General Zhou Hao.

Lieutenant General Zhou Hao and Lieutenant General Zheng Benqing both had a stern face. Colonel Niu Zhiyang actually took out a telegram signed by Emperor Long Yufei, which is equivalent to a holy decree in a certain way!

The content of the telegram was very brief, and there was only one meaning, that is, to ask the 7th Army to fully cooperate with Colonel Niu Zhiyang in completing the task.

"Colonel, Your Majesty's order, we should follow it, if there is anything we need to do, please give an order!" Lieutenant General Zhou Hao did not seem to hesitate. Although his military rank is higher than that of Colonel Niu Zhiyang, Colonel Niu Zhiyang has instructions from the emperor.

"Commander, wait until the 7th Army arrives in Delhi, surround Delhi first, and don't attack it. I need to get the Afghan army into the city to do something for us! Colonel Niu Zhiyang said.

"There's no problem with that!" Lieutenant General Zhou Hao immediately agreed. He didn't know what it was, but he had to say yes.

"Your Excellency, in fact, this matter does not need to be kept secret from you. We are just borrowing the hands of these Afghans to destroy the Mughal royal family! Colonel Niu Zhiyang said with a smile. (To be continued......)
