Chapter 491: Ying Ma, Ming Dad, Lao Jin next door, and a small day in a distant neighborhood (ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
I have to admit that on the issue of using the few to dominate the crowd and to rule more with less, the Dajin Kingdom, which has been "practically" operating in Central Asia for more than 100 years, is much more clever than the Ming Dynasty!
India, a big problem for Zhuge military divisions, is a dish in the hands of the alternate Xianfeng Ye Yiwei. And it can also be made with all the color and flavor, so that the British, Chinese, Jinguo, and Indians can eat to the satisfaction.
And the way he came up with this dish for India is to make an "Indian Zhou Tianzi...... Emperor Wilhelm's path is the "First Emperor of India", that is, to engage in a centralized India. It's not a one-step process, but it's a real thing.
To be honest, apart from India itself, it seems that no foreign power can benefit from it. In fact, Britain itself will sooner or later become a victim of a united Greater India...... There are many reasons why the British Empire lost India in another timeline, but the British themselves made India a great power, which must be one of the important reasons for India's independence!
As for the partition of India and Pakistan...... This is not bad for India. Because the partition actually created the main nation of India, otherwise the Hindus and the Celestials would likely be evenly matched, and India's internal division would be even more serious. Imagine if the Celestials in India were 40% of the population, would they be subject to the Hindu administration?
I don't have to fight there every day!
In short, if the British colonial rule had not helped India create a relatively strong centralized power, it would have allowed India's hundreds of states to maintain a relatively high degree of independence. Once India becomes independent, it is possible that it will be divided into dozens of independent states (assuming that 10 states form 1 small state), with intricate internal relations and strong local forces...... It's hard to say whether they are willing to get rid of the British suzerain. Even if India eventually became independent, it would be much easier for these dozens of small countries to control than India and Pakistan.
Perhaps the British Empire will be able to control the small states of India in the same way that France controls the "franc zone" countries in West and Central Africa, and continue to be the emperor of India...... It's a pity that the British Empire, which has been lacking in virtue for hundreds of years, rarely became a person when it left India, and arranged a good start for India's Ah San. Maybe their British father has been a son for a long time, right?
But this time the Indians are not so lucky, because this time there is not only one Ying Dad who has taken a fancy to India's good son, but Ming Dad, Ying Ma, Lao Jin next door, oh, and there is a small Asian neighbor who is staring at those rich states in India and drooling!
So many people are helping to arrange it together, but it can't be arranged clearly?
Yiwei smiled and said to Zhuge Weijiu, Zhu Xiyou, Zhuge Weixue, and Lin Zexu: "In today's India, about half of the territory directly under the emperor's jurisdiction is located, and half belongs to three or four hundred large and small princely states...... In fact, the emperor's direct jurisdiction can be reduced a little, and the monarchs of the three or four hundred princely states are not impossible to change, and they are often changed in history. And most of the lords who are now princes of the princely states are the princes of the Heavenly Sect who followed the Mughal dynasty or the previous Delhi sultans to fight east and west. Most of the people they rule are Hindus. Therefore, the roots of many princely vassal lords are not deep, and they are completely replaceable. Even the most powerful Sikh princely state in India today has the problem of Sikhs ruling over the Celestial Cultists!
As long as His Royal Highness King Lu can become the son of Zhou Tianzi in India, he can use the method of Xia Jun to raze the people, and slowly replace the monarchs of some of these princely states with our people......"
His "our people", of course, also include the people of the "Lao Jin family next door"!
Three or four hundred feudal lords!
Even if only half of them are replaced, there are 15 to 200 seats...... Ming's father, Ying's mother, Lao Jin next door, and a small day to fight, can the family get dozens of them?
Of course, the big head is still Zhu Xiyou and Victoria's husband and wife!
And these two couples worked hard to have children, gave birth to ten or eight of them, and in the future, one person and one country, and they could divide ten or eight big countries! And the prime ministers of these big countries are, of course, the eight great families and those dukes and marquis of the United Kingdom.
As for the British capitalists, they can also continue to benefit from the sparsely chopped Greater Indian Confederation...... Although a fragmented India was not conducive to the formation of a unified market, the more princely states and nobles there were, the greater the demand for high-end British goods. Moreover, Britain can also set up some "free cities" in India that are drunk with money, attracting nobles from the princely states to live a luxurious and fashionable life in the cities, and when the time comes, they can not only sell goods, but also make a lot of money from the finance and real estate of these free cities.
In addition, allowing the "lords" at the bottom to run their own turf is also conducive to the sustainable development of the British Empire.
If we follow the path of Kaiser Wilhelm, when India really becomes a unified and industrialized empire, what will happen to the more than 20 million Britons?
......
Palazzo Portage welcomes a new visitor!
It's the British, but not Charlie. Righteousness, but the representative of Princess Victoria, Viscount Palmerston - Emperor Wilhelm sent a secret envoy, and Princess Victoria, who was only 15 years old, actually sent a secret envoy...... And it's a figure of the level of Viscount Palmerston!
Although Viscount Palmerston did not serve as a minister in the new government led by Kaiser Wilhelm himself, he was by no means an ordinary backbencher, but a Whig veteran (he had previously been a Tory, now a Whig), and a political figure who was qualified to be prime minister.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
He worked as a secret envoy for a 15-year-old princess and traveled all the way to Italy. This is the ...... It's weird!
Because this matter is very strange, it was Zhuge Weijiu, Zhu Xiyou, Zhuge Weixue, and Lin Zexu who came forward to meet the visiting Viscount Palmerston.
He also brought a handwritten letter from Victoria!
Victoria, a 15-year-old girl, very boldly professed her love for Zhu Xiyou's big brother in the letter...... In the letter, she shyly expressed her hope that Zhu Xiyou could become the emperor of India in the future, and she looked forward to being elected as the queen of India by the future Emperor Zhu of India.
Of course, Victoria's letter was very low, as if Zhu Xiyou could really choose her as a chubby girl among a bunch of beauties.
But in fact, Zhu Xiuran can indeed be "elected", but the candidate is only Victoria...... Only by choosing Victoria, the Indian queen, can he become the emperor of India!
In order to be emperor...... If your wife is fat, she should be fatter, in fact, Victoria is still quite cute, like a doll.
Holding Victoria's handwritten letter and reading it, and finally confirming that he could become the emperor, he forced a smile and asked with a straight face: "Viscount, when will Victoria inherit the throne of the United Kingdom?" ”
To be an emperor, you have to ...... early His brother has been the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for eighteen years, but he hasn't been the emperor for a day, so he's in a hurry!
Viscount Palmerston smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, it is not up to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but on you...... Will the future Emperor of India and King of the United Kingdom be able to win the support of the British Army, the Royal Navy, the Bank of England and the Anglican Church! ”
