Chapter seven hundred and twenty seven.

Among the storied figures in the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui is the one who is still alive but the most unsatisfactory.

Kolkata, a small village at the exit of the Ganges River, was his third year of guarding the Outlands for the East India Company.

I have to admit that gold will shine everywhere, and can become the biggest traitor in the late Ming Dynasty in history, and can also make a great Zhou emperor for himself before he dies. Wu Sangui really has two tricks. At this time, Kolkata is no longer the Kolkata village three years ago, but now it has completely developed into a small town.

From the mouth of the Ganges River, the mud pond where the three brothers drove an elephant to wash mud and bathed in mud was flattened, and the silt and sand at the estuary of the river were also taken out of the sea. The actual merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty could drive over the current without having to worry about the funeral.

The dug out sand was not in vain. From the Wuwei Fortress that was leaning against the mountain pier on the shore, a series of urban areas have begun to appear in scale. The closest to Wuwei Fort is the Ming people, which is the Chinatown mentioned by the three brothers. Qingyishui'er three-story cement bricks are arranged in a staggered shape in a wireless network. In the bright sunshine, the light yellow building looks magnificent. In the spacious roads, there are still four-wheeled carriages walking through heavy goods, which is bustling.

Kolkata is located in the tropical region and often visits typhoons in March every year. The wooden Tang Dynasty buildings were beautiful, but they were not so practical here, so they disappeared. On the contrary, the heavy stupid guys from Liaodong have completely become the mainstream, and cement buildings and accessories are much more convenient than wooden buildings, especially with a function, which is particularly powerful.

Against the riverside, each street next to each other, a series of huge cement water drainage canals were built. In the Ganges River, the large water truck pushed by the river water lifted the river water into the canal, and then flowed along the channel to the rows of three-story buildings along the side. There were water pipes for water release in the walls between the buildings. Following the water pipes, these cool river water could flow out for two or three thousand meters.

This thing is not tap water, because the three brothers "love" for this holy river. They take a bath, brush their teeth and pour a chamber pot. From time to time, a corpse floats across the water. The bacteria seriously exceed the standard. The Ming people in the city mainly drink groundwater filtered by mud and sand. I really dare not drink this holy river water!

The main function of these dirty Ganges water is air conditioning! There is no winter in Kolkata. The maximum temperature in summer is over 40 degrees. It is barbecue outside and steaming in the house. However, the flowing water passes through the channels specially left by the house. Both evaporation and flow absorb a lot of heat. It has a water wall that passes through the water temperature. During high temperatures, the indoor temperature drops by at least 20 degrees.

The British established the East India Company. The most employees lost to them each year were not killed by the indigenous people, but to death by the heat. Seeing several Yangzhou craftsmen designing this natural air conditioner and sitting in a cool new office, the British accountants in Kolkata hugged their heads and cried on the spot like children.

Towards south of Wuwei Fort, there is a tributary of the Henghe River, which is the settlement area of ​​the native Indians. Wu Sangui had not wanted to be isolated yet, but later he found that there was nothing he could do without isolation.

British Prime Minister Churchill once said during the Great Famine in India: They deserve it. Who made them give birth to a lot of children like rabbits. The more they are born, the poorer they are, the more poor they are, and perhaps the famine can still control the population! This unconcealed contemptuous words also show that the Indian natives are densely populated. Now there are nearly 50,000 Indian natives making a living around Kolkata. The densely packed dilapidated houses are like a pile of garbage on the horizon. Even if the few rich natives are surrounded by the inner circle, they are not much stronger. Their dilapidated houses are really eye-catching next to the neat Ming-made buildings.

Moreover, the living habits of the natives were much different from those of the Tang people. They urinated and defecated everywhere, and the whole street was stinking. In summer, flies and mosquitoes spread infectious diseases. The lower class Indians were extremely feudal and superstitious. The settlement area was the most gorgeous building, and the monks had great power and could say whatever they were. The people below followed. The girls around twelve years old in the folk were pulled away by the monks in the temple, saying that they had become saints, but they were actually public temple prostitutes. The Ming people built a city and collected taxes. The three brothers were reluctant, but they rushed to dedicate the best food, silver and money to the temple.

Another time, these flower monks were so timid that they snatched a Tang Dynasty girl to the temple to insult her.

As soon as this happened, Wu Sangui, such a hero who regarded human life as a mustard, didn't care about the commotion that might have caused among the natives. It might have had an impact on his power. He brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to carry the knife directly. As soon as the gate was closed, there was a shrill scream and a crisp sound of metal entering the flesh in the temple where the monkey gods and the crisp sound of metal entering the flesh. Blood rumbling all over the street, carrying the knife that had been chopped and curled, Wu Sangui killed like a Shura and snatched the Tang girl back.

It’s not that Wu Sangui is so righteous and loves the people as much as his son. He really thinks that these inferior people are not worthy!

After this incident, the Tang people's settlement area and the natives were completely separated.

However, after this incident, Wu Sangui's determination to conquer this subcontinent was even more enhanced. The most noble monk was slaughtered by him and returned to Dingwu Fort. He was ready to fight the natives at any time. However, the monks from the main temples of several natives were carrying gold and treasures, and they cried and knelt in a row at the entrance of Dingwu Fort, begging Wu Sangui for forgiveness.

It’s soft like a persimmon, but it’s good that it’s ruled. No wonder India’s history is like a bus, whoever catches whoever catches!

However, what made Wu Sangui unsuccessful was that it had been three years for this huge continent with dense population and fertile land! The East India Company still did not pay enough attention to it, and let him blow the heat waves and be empty. Nothing can be done in three years! How many three years does it have in life?

Now, there are only 500 Tang people in Kolkata. Even if the large family with family members is only 50,000 or 6,000, they still have to remove the hundreds of migrant merchants who have been trading here. The soldiers under him, and some of his old subordinates have received his letter from him in recent years, have only more than 300 people and three brigades.

He pulled up the local police force for more than a thousand, but this combat power? Wu Sangui once cursed angrily, and chasing a group of geese might cause the other party to capture seventy or eighty prisoners.

It is said that people are forced out. In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui never thought about any cultural construction. When he arrived in Kolkata, he actually built a private school in Dingwu Castle and hired a teacher in China. In a spacious classroom, more than 200 wealthy businessmen who had business dealings with the East India Company were shaking their heads and speaking the Analects of Confucius in their backs. For these natives who could not stand up to the wall, Wu Sangui could only hope that Confucius could make them change slightly.

Education is a century-old plan, so don’t expect it to be useful in the near future. However, there have been good and bad news recently. This will change the situation in India slightly and make Wu Sangui even more angry.

An unprecedented wave of immigration is coming soon. Zuo Menggeng's remnants of Zuo Liangyu led by Zuo Menggeng has completed rectification in China and is about to come here!

Thirty thousand people! Even if you can only draw seven or eight thousand troops to fight, you can do something in this Tianzhu! But Wu Sangui can't seem to be happy.

In the combat room of Dingwu Fort, a combat sand table carved by Wu Sangui for three years was finely displayed on the table. On the north side is Jida, the prime minister of Bangladesh, pointing to the sand table with a stick. The monk HP, who is also an old military advisor of the Wu family in Liaodong, was holding a stick and analyzing the battle strategy for Wu Sangui bit by bit.

"The Marathas in Kurna in the northeast direction have always been inconsistent with the Mughals and surrender in name only, but they still plunder everywhere restlessly every year. The goods of our East India Company were also robbed twice. This time, a caravan was arranged to go over. These Marathas will definitely not be able to resist the temptation and take action. At that time, the Lord will go to Nawab, Bengal to declare."

"Now Shah Jahan collects money for his favorite concubines everywhere and builds Taj Mahals. 60% of the taxes in Bangladesh have been collected. Nawab will definitely not be willing to provoke the fierce Marathas for us. However, if the Lord asks him to take revenge, Nawab probably won't refuse. This gives our Ming Dynasty the opportunity to mobilize troops and take the opportunity to swallow the Kurnatu state, and the 30,000 left troops will be placed!"

"Now, Shah Jahan is expending heavy taxes, and his country will not be stable for long. As long as there is some chaos in his Central Plains Ganges Plain, we will take the opportunity to take over the entire Bangladesh. This area is richer than our Liaodong!"

"But Dong India Company appointed the yellow-haired boy Zuo Menggen to serve as the military governor of Bangladesh!"

The unhappiness in his heart completely broke out. Zuo Liangyu was ambitious and coveted here for two or three years, and suffered for two or three years. At the end, a boy who had not even grown hair jumped over to his neck to shit. It would be strange if Wu Sangui was happy.

However, as he watched him slamming the table angrily, the thick and loose old face of Mr. HP couldn't help but smile.

"Master, you still have not practiced enough!"

"You think why Zuo Menggeng can become this governor?"

"He has thirty thousand remaining soldiers! Damn! If I had known that there was still this place in the world, I would like to call him Li Zichengxu, and our Guanning Iron Cavalry directly surrendered to the emperor and the old man. Now the whole of Bangladesh is my own!"

When Wu Sangui thought of the strong cavalry in the past, he couldn't help but sigh, but when he heard this, he smiled and bowed.

"Yes, Zuo Menggeng can become this military governor, relying on the 30,000 troops in his hands. What if these 30,000 people are yours?"

The heart obviously beat violently, but after a moment, Wu Sangui still shook his head hesitantly: "Will the East India Company let it go? Your Majesty..."

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, even Wu Sangui, who was not afraid of the world, was afraid of being beaten in front of the Liaodong army's destruction. Besides, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the Mughal Empire without the support of the East India Company. This is also the reason why Wu Sangui was depressed for so long that he dared not offend Mao Jue.

"Master, this is why Your Majesty can become the emperor. You are still just a city guard. Your Majesty wants a new continent and does not hesitate to enfeoff real titles. The court only pays a name, but it is exchanged for new areas that pay tribute. The new market for East India Company marketing. Your Majesty also wants India. Master, do you think he will care who will give this land to him?"

"As for how to obtain the military power of the Zuojun, you are an expert, so I won't talk much!"

It’s really old that it’s experience. Through the analysis of this old monk, Wu Sangui’s eyes were really lit up.

But there were so many things in the world. Before he could start planning with confidence, a personal soldier suddenly ran in outside the door and knelt on one knee quickly.

"Master, Jida Nawabu, sent an envoy to Jida quickly! It is said that it is a matter of discussion!"

There has been a saying since ancient times that a person has the will to hurt a tiger, and a tiger has the desire to devour people's hearts!

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Sangui stood up suddenly.
