Chapter 777: The Battle of India (Thanks to Wang Daozai's book friend for his 5,000 coin reward)
This statue of "Lack of Gil" was erected to commemorate the little hero who saw through the ugly conspiracy of British spies.
The witty, brave and heroic feats of the young father-in-law will inspire and impress every visitor to Gwadar Port.
This also expresses the determination and will of the Tatar Song Kingdom to always follow the Ming Emperor.
His Majesty Zhu Fugui cut the ribbon for the statue, and the father-in-law of Li Chunfa, the victim of the incident, made an important speech.
Gonggong Li said that Lack of Gil is a rising star in the eunuch world, and he is a great talent in the inner service circle in the past ten years.
He wished that Queji would always keep in mind his responsibility as a eunuch, do something and not do something, and strive to promote the integration of the Tatar Song Kingdom into the Ming Dynasty tribute circle, and contribute his due strength to the armed defense of the Ming Empire.
At the same time, Gonggong Li also criticized the erroneous thinking that some people in the Ming Dynasty are afraid of hardships and hardships and want to take shortcuts on the great road of the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Li Mouming, who has a family history, has a deviation in understanding of such a noble cause as serving the emperor, and is unwilling to take over the class of the older generation, and has embarked on the crooked and evil path of hanging a pot to help the world, curing diseases and saving people, and the ideological consciousness of loyalty and patriotism is very weak, and it is necessary to strengthen study and learn from the lack of father-in-law.

Eunuch Li's speech, after a little artistic processing and strategic deletion, was published in the new issue of "Daming Times".
The white-skinned and valiant little eunuch Lack Gil is also well-known to the people of the Ming Dynasty with the photos of the bronze statue.

Back a month ago.
Upon learning that the tyrannical dictator Zhu Fugui had appeared in western India, the British and Indian authorities symbolically organized a "Strangling the Evil Dragon - Operation Spring Thunder in 1876".
They mobilized 13 Indian colonial corps, totaling more than 500,000 troops, claiming to attack the Tatar capital and capture the tyrant Zhu Fugui alive.
Of course, the operation turned out to be a farce in the end.
The Viceroy of India, who was far away at the Zulu court, did not take charge of the matter.
The British officers who remained in Calcutta had no one in terms of title and authority to convince the public, and they were unable to make strong executive orders and dispatch resources.
This is evident from the fact that the so-called "strangulation of the dragon" operation did not involve a single British home corps, as well as the Royal Navy of the British Empire.
This is nothing more than an image project by Kolkata officials to disguise their incompetence.
After all, a regrettable defeat won't keep them losing points on their repeatedly defeated resume.
But it would be more difficult to explain to the congressional lords to sit back and watch the enemy chieftain flaunt his might and do nothing under his nose.
The Congressional Masters are well-informed people, and they will not be easily fooled by the words of civil servants such as "we should have done something in the first place".
The 500,000 Indian colonial troops, if they are in a unified situation, high morale, and well-equipped, to be honest, with the Tatar Song Dynasty, the current strength may not be able to resist.
Somehow, these Indian colonial armies were not so much armies as sheriffs, policemen, or local militias.
The British were always guarding against a new round of national uprisings among the Indians.
Of course, in fact, the so-called national revolt was a resistance movement formed by the last emperor of the Mughal Empire and the traditional Indian landowners and princely princes who feared losing the right to inherit their heirs, and had nothing to do with low-caste livestock.
Rather than guarding against India's poor ghosts and mud legs, the British were more guarded against by the puppet army being used by the big landlords and princes of the princely states again.
Therefore, even if the Ming soldiers pressed the border, the British still did not hand over advanced weapons to the Indians, let alone systematically train them.
It took a month for such a rabble to assemble.
By the time they actually arrived in the western mountains of Rajasthan, Zhu Fugui had already returned to Yangon.
Here, in his capacity as Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, he will personally command the final decisive battle against the Anglo-Indian authorities, or rather, the Anglo-Indian forces except for the Viceroyalty of India.
In fact, many officers and soldiers, including Mo Bai, were puzzled by Marshal Zhu Fugui's delay in holding his troops and not giving the order for an all-out general attack.
However, Zhu Fugui's prestige is here, and no one dares to question it, and it is natural to think that His Majesty Zhu Fugui must be playing big chess again.
And that's exactly what happened.
Of course, Zhu Fugui knows that in terms of tactics, ten Zhu Fugui can't compare to Mo Bai.
In one war after another, this Foshan macho man has accumulated a lot of valuable experience and honed his beast-like sense of smell on the battlefield.
These are not what Zhu Fugui can have as an emperor who has not been on the battlefield much.
However, when it comes to strategy, Zhu Fugui is not modest, and ten Mo Bai is not as good as himself.
This is not to say how smart Zhu Fugui thinks he is, but he is really standing on the shoulders of future generations and opening up the perspective of God.
Zhu Fugui is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out the Yingyi forces in one fell swoop, and clarify the justice of the war, while greatly reducing the cost of governance, or the cost of bondage.
·
Zhu Fugui spent the Spring Festival of the 14th year of Dewu in Yangon.
Over the years, Zhu Fugui has also been accustomed to spending the New Year in a foreign country.
Of course, the company of the two wives is not lonely.
Orchid and Julie's letter also arrived with the ship.
In the letter, Xiaolan told some interesting stories about the new repertoire of the Fengdu Grand Theater, and Julie hoped that Zhu Fugui could help officiate the secret wedding of her best friend and Tibetan Fox.
Zhu Fugui doesn't know very well, isn't it bigamy to hold another wedding with an oriental ceremony?
Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire is in the midst of a war, just as Elizabeth and Franz Joseph were married.
As the financial tsunami swept through Europe, Emperor Franz Joseph, who had bought large quantities of British government bonds and war bonds, was plunged into a deep quagmire along with the old Habsburgs.
His depleted finances, endless wars, and growing calls for self-determination in the face of the retreat of the North Germans all contributed to a rapid decline in his ability to sustain the fragile empire.
Many people believe that if the collapse of the empire was destined in this war, then the first to collapse was Austria-Hungary.
On the contrary, Elisabeth, who won the title of "Budapest's Financial Queen" through dazzling financial manipulation, gained increasing support in Hungary and even became the spiritual leader of Hungarian separatism.
Zhu Fugui is a-stirring stick out of his profession...... With a keen sense of international strategy, he realized that perhaps this was an important opportunity to project the power of the Ming Dynasty into Budapest.
Of course, this cannot be done without the identification of the Russians, or the Eastern Roman Empire.
Whether it is recognized or not, Eastern Rome will be a neighbor that the Ming Empire cannot move away, and if the Eastern Roman Empire collapses as it did in history, it will not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Fugui himself.
Therefore, Zhu Fugui believes that it is time to sign a bilateral understanding agreement with Eastern Rome.
However, this requires a certain level of strategic mutual trust between the two sides.
Today, however, the military and political basis for this strategic mutual trust does not yet exist.
The Eastern Romans could not yet accept the complete loss of the Far Eastern lands.
Zhu Fugui judged that when the Ming Dynasty expelled all British forces from the Indian subcontinent, the Eastern Romans would be able to rationally accept the fact that the Ural Mountains were the natural frontier of the Ming Dynasty.
So, in a thousand ways, the key to everything lies in the battle for India.
