"Spartan warriors" are synonymous with warriors in the eyes of Westerners, and Aligaponi continued: "Sikh warriors lived in a centralized residence until they got married in order to train their military skills, so I think we can use Sikh warriors against Lin Yuan's troops." ”

George? Curzon smiled, "Mr. Aligaponi, your idea is really good, but can you elaborate on how we used the Sikh warriors against Lin Yuan's troops?" ”

"In the history of the Sikhs, there have been many battles with Indian dynasties, princely states or Muslims, and many grudges have accumulated that can be used by us, and in these battles, the Sikhs have slowly developed a heroic and tenacious national character, which increases our chances of using them against Lin Yuan," Ali Gaboni said. ”

George? Curzon nodded and said, "It's a good idea to exploit historical feuds, but how exactly should we do it?" Who will do it? ”

Ali Gapponi smiled: "I hope to let Mr. Tanzambique go, Mr. Tanzambique and Sikhs should be more familiar." ”

Tanzanbique was about to seize the opportunity to show himself, and when he heard Ali Gaboni's words, he gladly agreed, George? Curzon was overjoyed, and the three of them discussed the details of the operation, and Tanzambique set off.

The capital of Punjab is Amritsar, the city is very rich because of its geographical location, it has five large rivers in its territory, known as the "Land of Five Rivers", so it is rich in water resources; To the north is the towering Himalayas, which are blocked by the warm and humid air currents blown by the Indian Ocean monsoon and turn into rain in Punjab, turning it into a land of fish and rice on the Indian subcontinent.

Amritsar is not only the capital of Punjab, but also the holy city of Sikhism, with a golden temple in the city, and the whole building is gilded, which is very spectacular.

Tanzambique came to Amritsar and first settled in the British Governorate, where there was a Sikh dynasty, but the invading British destroyed it, established a British colonial government here, and set up a governor.

Tanzambique then had its attendants bring in the elders of the "Sikh Society", the highest authority of the Sikh community, elected by the Sikh congregation, and with great prestige among the Sikhs.

The British have been colonizing the Sikhs for more than 70 years, so the Sikh community does not have a good impression of the British, and after sitting down face to face with Tanzanbik, they do not speak, but Tanzanbik speaks first, and he laughs: "Dear elders, I wonder if you want to reform your teachings?" ”

The elders were angry when they heard this, it turned out that the British carried out political and economic aggression at the same time, the cultural aggression did not lag behind, they established Christian churches in various colonies, and used various means to make the people in the colonies believe in Christianity, in China during the reign of the Qing court, there were many Christian churches, after Lin Yuan took charge, although the religious freedom decree was promulgated, but the official ideology in China was atheism, so there were many fewer churches.

The Sikh elders thought that Tanzanbik was going to force them to change their faith and embrace Christianity, so they showed anger, and Tanzanbik also sensed the elders' thoughts, and hurriedly said happily: "Elders, the people who want you to change your doctrine are not us, but Chinese!" ”

The elders were surprised for a while and said, "The Chinese are so far away from us, how can they come and force us to change our doctrine?" ”

Tanzanbik said with a smile: "Lin Yuan has carried out religious reforms in Calcutta and Madras, Hinduism has been forced to abolish the caste system, and now Lin Yuan's troops are in Peshawar, very close to you, I believe that the day when you are forced to reform is coming soon." ”

The eldest elder then said, "The Hindu caste system is very harmful and should be abolished." The other elders nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he had not frightened these elders, Tanzabik hurriedly changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Do you know? Lin Yuan intends to ban Sikhism! ”

When the eldest elder heard this, he frowned and said angrily: "Mr. Tanzanbik, can you not be honest, Mr. Lin Yuan did not let the Muslims in those places give up their faith after conquering Southeast Asia, and after conquering Burma, he did not let the Buddhists in Myanmar give up their faith, why did he ban our Sikhism?" ”

Tanzanbik laughed and said, "Do you know what China's official ideology is? It's atheism! In that case, how could Lin Yuan allow God's existence? The reason why he did not dare to ban Buddhism or Islam was that there were so many followers that if he did, he would offend the public. Whoever made the number of your Sikh followers small, Lin Yuan will definitely attack you! ”

When the elders heard Tanzabik's words, a look of suspicion appeared on their faces, and Tanzabik continued: "Lin Yuan's troops have now entered Peshawar, and Peshawar is the world of Muslims, you should know, right?" Muslims and you Sikhs have had a historical feud, and I won't say much about the specific feuds, but I believe you know better than I do. ”

"We have received a secret report that Lin Yuan has promised to sell them a large amount of weapons and equipment in order to appease the Aja Mehd patriarch in Peshawar, and has also recruited a lot of new soldiers in the local area, these recruits are all Muslims, and once they enter your Sikh land, they will definitely seek revenge on you."

Although Tanzambique is talking nonsense, the elders still believe it a little, because Tanzambik's words speak to the hearts of the elders, and there are indeed many conflicts between Muslims and Sikhs in history, and the elders are of course worried that Muslims will seek revenge.

Tanzabik observed his words and saw that the elders believed his words, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Elders, I hope that you Sikhs can cooperate with us to resist the Chinese, how about it?" ”

The elders discussed for a while, and the eldest elder said: "Okay, we are willing to cooperate with the British, but we have one condition, if we don't agree, then the matter of cooperation will not be discussed!" ”

Tanzambique smiled and asked, "What are your conditions?" ”

The elder said, "After resisting the Chinese, give us a higher status in Sikhism. ”

Tanzanbek agreed, and the elders immediately called on the Sikhs to join the British army, and there were already some Sikhs in the British army at this time, so the newly recruited Sikhs trained quickly, and in just a few days, several Sikh troops were formed.
