Chapter Eighty-Five: Throwing Yourself into the Net
The port of Buenpal was once built by France, the largest colonial empire in the world, when the French built a large number of permanent fortifications on it in order to rule Caleca forever, and even had rapid-fire batteries for clippers.
It's just that these old antiques from more than 200 years ago are vulnerable to the attack of the Colonial Army and the "Anti-Narcotics" wargroup of Austria Tranqueba at this time.
Kieran Vasjie's proud guard was even more imminent, and the five hundred cavalry as hole cards could be described as a complete horse at this time, but the direction of progress was just the opposite of the battlefield.
"! What's going on?! ”
Kiran Vasje also saw the smoke in the direction of the port, but he did not understand what was happening, after all, there were small princely states all around, and the British had all entered the interior to quell the rebellion.
Now theoretically, only Kalaikabang beats other people's shares, and the surrounding small princely states should burn high incense if they are not beaten.
However, when Kieran Vasjey saw soldiers and panicked civilians everywhere, he angrily grabbed one of the deserters and asked.
"What's going on?"
By this time, Kieran Vasjie's good mood for a big deal had vanished, and in his place he was furious, and he wanted to tear the intruder to pieces and drink at once.
In fact, Kiran Vasje did do this, but the last time was on the day of the usurpation.
"Kshatriya Brahmins. It's called! ”
The soldier said with a panicked expression.
Kiran Vasjie drew his scimitar and slashed it at the deserter's head, then raised his head high.
"That's what happens to the escapees! I, Kieran Vasj, a descendant of the great Molka Vasj, I will now lead you to reclaim our capital, Bonepal!
The Great Brahma is watching us! Kalaika wins! ”
The soldiers accompanying Kieran Vasjie also drew their swords and raised their guns to stop the rout.
I have to say that the warlord who came to power by coup d'état did have two brushes, and soon nearly 5,000 people gathered around him.
In fact, Kieran Vasje is not a reckless man who can only shout slogans, he made a decision after careful analysis.
The only white force in the vicinity was the Danes in Trankuiba, where there were only 500-600 garrisons at most, and it was not a problem for Kalaika to give Kieran Vasje a period of time to get 30,000 or 50,000 troops.
He had already collected an army of nearly 20,000 men, more than 6,000 in the vicinity of Buenpal alone.
Although they were secretly attacked and routed by the other side at this time, these remnants plus their main forces, can they still lose one out of ten? Kiran Vasje didn't believe it.
As a result, when Kalaika's army entered Buenpal, they found that there were at least 3,000 men on the other side, in addition to a large number of artillery.
(Actually, more than ten artillery pieces in the Indian subcontinent is considered a lot, and the average princely state has only a few cannons.) )
In the face of the Kalaika army that collided with them, the Trankuiba colonial army was also a little overwhelmed for a while, after all, it was the first time they fought against the Indian army, and according to the Danes, the Indians would only flee and surrender.
Although the military organization of the other church has been in Southeast Asia for many years, it behaves more confused than the comrades-in-arms of the colonial army on the side, because they are used to chasing and fighting natives in peacetime.
Even once the armies of those kingdoms were dispersed, it was no longer difficult to organize, and it was the first time that they were beaten and counterattacked.
Fortunately, Kieran Vasj's army was just like that, and a few shotguns stopped their charge.
At the same time, the Kalaika army, which is mainly cold weapons, is also vulnerable in the face of modern rifles, and if it rushes fiercely, it will naturally suffer heavy casualties.
In just a quarter of an hour, Kieran Vasjie's army lost a fifth. At this time, the Austrians also regained their composure, and they began to kill in a systematic manner.
There was no suspense in the battle, and the morale of the Kalaika army was about to collapse, and at this time, the officers who had been fighting on the front line of Kalaika realized that there was a problem, and their king was gone.
In fact, after the first firefight, Kiran Vasjie realized that the situation was not what he expected, and he immediately decided to flee with his cronies.
Kiran Vasje didn't think it was a shameful act, on the contrary, he felt that Kalaika was so big that even if the capital was lost, he could make a comeback.
After all, the other party only has a few thousand people, and Kalaika has a population of millions, and there are 100,000 soldiers who don't believe that the other party can still fight.
This idea is not illogical, first of all, India is the most populous country except for the Qing State at this time, and there are millions of people in any small state, and even tens of millions of people in large states are at the level of Prussia at the lowest in Europe.
At this time, Prussia had a population of only 17 million, Austria was looted by Franz, and medical advances were accompanied by record maternal and neonatal mortality rates.
At the same time, the revitalized empire also gave people hope, and after being able to eat enough, they had a certain amount of savings, and in the era when civilians did not have much entertainment, making babies became a common entertainment project.
Due to the influence of religion, it is the duty of every believer to have children. In fact, most of those ancient religions had such scriptures and obligations, after all, in ancient times, human resources were very important, and there were not enough people to pass them on.
Then Franz deliberately asked the clergy to preach more in this area during their sermons and masses, for the lower class of Europeans at that time, they may not know the emperor or the mayor, but they must know the priests of their own diocese.
In addition, Austria passed an anti-human smuggling agreement at the German Confederation Congress, which detained large numbers of people who were supposed to go to the United States and Great Britain.
However, the number of Italians in Austria has already exceeded the 10 million mark and is still increasing rapidly, considering that the population of the Austrian Empire at this time was only 46 million (compared to 38 million in the same period in history).
The population of Germany was about 12 million, and the total population of the German regions outside the Austrian Empire was 35 million.
The only good news is that the number of Hungarians remains at around 6.5 million, and even faintly declining, because the surplus labor force is worthless as the external market shrinks.
(Heavy tariffs between Hungary and Austria have led to a sharp decline in trade between the two countries, mainly in Austria's imports of agricultural products.) )
Population of other major world countries (local only):
35 million in France, 27 million in the United Kingdom, 13 million in Spain, and 21 million in the United States.
Mexico's population is even smaller than at the same time in history due to constant wars (civil wars, foreign wars, lost territories) at 5.5 million.
33 million for the Ottomans, 6.6 million for Brazil, 1.8 million for Argentina, 13 million for Persia, 950,000 for Serbia, 1.5 million for Denmark, 3.7 million for Portugal, 3.4 million for Sweden, 5.3 million for Egypt, 2.5 million for Afghanistan, 12 million for the Sikh Empire.
As a result of the acquisition of Limburg and West Luxembourg, Luxembourg has tripled in size and its population has increased by 1.5 times to 470,000 people.
The population of Russia has been described from 67 million to 83 million, but the average here is 75 million.
