Chapter 1066: The Great Indian Uprising (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Hyderabad City, the capital of the princely state of Hyderabad, India, Assaf. Jah IV was in a meeting with the lord of the princely state of Vadodara, Gampatrao. Gekvard is secretly discussing something that will change the future of India once and for all. The faces of both of them were filled with victorious smiles, and their vision for the future was very beautiful.
"Those two little guys did a very good job this time, and in the future, I can also call him the princely state of Baroda with confidence!" Gampatrao. Gekvard smiled, this time, his sons Handrao and Afza sent an envoy to the Chinese Empire, which won a very good future for India. Jach IV was very satisfied.
"Yes! Handrao's table is very good, and Afza is also very good. It won't be long before we can safely hand over the princely states to them! "Assaf. Jach IV also said with a smile.
"Hmmm! The emperor of the Chinese Empire is willing to serve as the emperor of India, which is a complete blessing for us Indians! When the time comes, the whole of India will return to peace, which is the hope of 200 million Indians! In addition, with the protection of the powerful Chinese Empire, other countries will not want to enslave us at that time! "Gampatlao. Gekvard said. Although the protection fee of up to 800 million Chinese dollars is a bit scary, it is not a problem given India's abundance. It's a big deal to be more ruthless in oppressing those untouchables.
"Yes! The Chinese Empire is the world's most powerful country. On all fronts, they have already won. If nothing else, on the Indian battlefield, the Chinese have already invaded India from the east and west of India. Though. The Anglo-Indian army led by the British was numerous, but. They simply can't resist the Chinese* army. When the war is over, China will inevitably become the world hegemon. And we India. There will also be a solid one! "Assaf. Jach IV said.
Indians have no ambitions, let alone war. This is especially true of the princes of these princely states. They just want to keep their inheritance, and then slowly exploit the tamed Indians and live a life of luxury. Why fight to the death? This is also why, after the Chinese Empire made a huge demand for protection money, Assaf. Jah IV and Gampatrao. There was no reason for Gekvard to refuse. After all, giving the Chinese Empire a huge amount of money every year is tantamount to plundering the wealth of India by the Chinese Empire. However, as long as the Chinese Empire can maintain their rule. So why should they refuse?
"Nasir, the Chinese Empire proposed that there were too many princely states in India, and even if the areas directly ruled by the British were added, a maximum of two hundred princely states would be left. There is no need to leave the remaining princely states. Now it is time for us to contact the princely states for the uprising. Princely states willing to take part in our actions and oppose the British together can be preserved after the war. And further expanded. If they are not willing to join us, they are our enemies, and we will destroy them all in this war. With the support of the Chinese Empire. We are the masters of India, and no one can stop us! "Gampatlao. Gekvard said.
Assaf. Jah IV nodded, and the Chinese Empire promised. Doubling the size and population of both the princely states of Hyderabad and Vadodara is undoubtedly the most appealing to them. When the time comes. The combined population of these two princely states will exceed 40 million! You know, the total population of India is only 200 million. The two princely states together have reached 40 percent. What's more, as the first princely state to take refuge in the Chinese Empire, their relationship with the Chinese Empire will be even closer. It can be said that these two princely states will become the agents of the Chinese Empire in India in the future. The main thing, of course, was to assist the Chinese Empire in the exploitation of the Indians. The Chinese Empire would use the wealth created by these Indians to further develop.
"Hmmm! Now that the armies of the Chinese Empire are gaining victories, we cannot afford to delay any longer. Send a telegram to the princely states that support us, and let them get ready to start! "Assaf. Jach IV said.
The princely state of Hyderabad has a population of 20 million, but the number of native soldiers is only 20,000. Of course, as the ruler of the princely state of Hyderabad, Assaf. Jah IV gave his orders, and the Indians in the princely states obeyed his orders. When the time comes, the light ones will be able to pull out a team of more than 100,000 people.
The same was true of the princely states of Vadodara, when the main force of the Anglo-Indian army had been held back by the Chinese Empire, and the Indian colonial authorities no longer had the strength to stop them. The rule of the Indian colonial authorities in India will be subverted by their light.
Thanks to the fact that the British erected telegraph lines all over India in order to rule India, this made Assaf. Jah IV and Gampatrao. Gekvard could quickly contact the princes and nobles of other Indian princely states by telegram. The princely states of Hyderabad and Vadodara have a great influence among the princely states of India. When the British and Indian armies had been completely suppressed by the Imperial Chinese Army, the two of them came forward to allow more Indian princes to join them.
In addition to these Indian princes, the royal family of the Mughal Empire, far away in Delhi, was also in the midst of excitement. The last emperor of the Mughal Empire, Bahadur. Shah II and Crown Prince Mirza. Dara seemed to have seen victory.
"Father, the Chinese* army is attacking India from the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and more than 100,000 Chinese* troops and more than 200,000 Afghan troops have already invaded Indian territory and are now approaching Delhi. The British are mobilizing troops to intercept the Chinese army. However, now it seems that they simply cannot stop the Chinese. After the Chinese defeated the British, according to the agreement between us and the Chinese, the Mughal Empire will be able to restore its rule over India! "Mirza. Prince Dara said excitedly.
In Mirza. Prince Dara had in mind that the Mughal Empire would flourish under his leadership. Bahadur. Sha II was already seventy-nine years old, and he had smoked opium again, and his time was clearly running out. Soon, this mighty empire will be under his rule.
Mirza. Prince Dara wants to build a strong India. In his view, India's 200 million people, as well as its abundant natural resources and wealth, are enough to make India a powerful country. Now, India is under the protection of the Chinese Empire, only temporarily. Once India becomes strong, they will be able to become the hegemon of the South Asian subcontinent.
Of course, according to Mirza. Jahan. The agreement signed between Prince Shah and the Chinese Empire was that the Mughal royal family would have to pay one billion Chinese dollars after the Chinese Empire defeated the British, in addition to the one billion Chinese dollars previously paid to the Chinese Empire. And, for the next five years, it would be necessary to pay 200 million Chinese yuan a year to the Chinese Empire. That's three billion dollars. Although the Mughal royal family is very wealthy, three billion Chinese dollars is also not a small amount, which is already more than seven billion rupees.
"Hmmm! Mirza, we're going to win. However, this is not our victory, but the victory of relying on the Chinese Empire. Therefore, in the next period of time, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the Chinese Empire! "Bahadur. Although Sha II is old, he is not old and confused. And, he has a lot of experience and is far from Mirza. Prince Dara can compare.
"Father Emperor, you mean that the Chinese may break the treaty?" Mirza. Prince Darla's face was a little ugly. If the Chinese Empire did not abide by the contract after conquering India, they would be miserable. After all, India would then be under the control of the Chinese Empire, and if the Chinese Empire wanted to enslave India like the British, they would have no room to resist at all.
"I don't know, but we can't afford to be on guard! India is very wealthy, which makes many powerful countries covet our wealth. And India, which is weak, will not be able to protect this wealth. As a result, we have had to turn to other countries. The Chinese Empire was a powerful country, but at the same time it was a very greedy country. We cannot rebel against the Chinese Empire until we have great strength, lest we create an excuse for them. "Bahadur. Sha II admonished.
"Yes, Father!" Mirza. Although Prince Dara was a little reluctant, he had to admit that Bahadur. Sha II's words are very correct.
"Father, when the Chinese arrive in Delhi, I will pay them the second batch of 1 billion Chinese dollars. Perhaps, for the sake of money, the Chinese Empire will not be too difficult for us! "Mirza. Prince Dara said.
"Well, I hope so!" Bahadur. Sha II nodded. In his heart, he really had a bad premonition. After all, the Mughal Empire was too weak, and they had little ability to resist in the face of the mighty Chinese Empire. Coupled with the huge wealth they have in their hands, it is completely like a child walking in the downtown with gold bricks in his arms, how can this not make others salivate?
In late September 1854, the Mughal Empire, the nominal ruler of India, and the princely states of India almost unanimously revolted against British colonial rule. Although the influence of the Mughal Empire was declining, they organized an army of tens of thousands in the capital Delhi and expelled the British officials who ruled Delhi. Other princely states, led by the princely states of Hyderabad and Vadodara, openly rebelled against the colonial rule of the British, and raised an army of up to millions of people.
