Harry Potter Morning Light

St. Augustine's best education was in evoking memories, and when Grindelwald conjured up scenes of "future" wars in the family graveyard at Lestrange, those of men like Jacob who had lived through the First World War The memory was awakened and they did not want the war to happen again.

To put it bluntly, Sir John Malcolm had no impression of Georgiana, but Mill, the governess who went to the Grand Trianon Palace to propose to Georgiana on behalf of the Earl of Aberdeen and who had seduced her own student, was not. Remember him, he is now back in London and is preparing to write a "History of India", so he came into contact with John Malcolm, and then mentioned him in the Edinburgh Review, although John Malcolm was not from Edinburgh.

John Malcolm was the son of a shepherd's tenant farmer and the fourth of seventeen children from a wealthy merchant family. He had two older brothers who worked for the East India Company and through their relationship, John Malcom When Kom was 11 years old, he was sent to India to join the army, not the navy, but the army.

When he attended the interview, he was as old as those little wizards wearing the Sorting Hat. In 1780, the situation in Britain in India was not good. First, a series of scandals broke out in the East India Company. In 1773, the Bank of Eyre, which broke out in crisis, issued bills of exchange. were shares of the East India Company.

The puppet regime established by the East India Company in Bengal made Mughal Emperor Shah Alam find it unbearable to continue in Allahabad. In 1771, he expressed his desire to return home, no matter how dangerous the future was.

By this time, famine had broken out in Bengal because the monsoon did not bring rain. But the most critical one was the Maratha-based Peshwa Prime Minister Sindhi, who planned to drive away the East India Company together with the Sultan of Hyderabad and Mysore.

The Marathas had been trying to break away from the rule of the Mughal Empire, which was once the most powerful empire in South India. Since the decline of the Mughals, these princely states have wanted to take their place.

When Malcolm arrived in India, the directors of the East India Company were recalled to London to be impeached. After the Seven Years' War, Britain became the largest colonial power in India. However, there were constant fighting in various parts of India. If Britain wanted to expand in India in the future, it would not be possible through military force alone. Even during the Maratha War in 1775, Bengal sent representatives and signed a contract with the Maratha Alliance without the consent of Bombay, and the British had to return the Maratha territory.

The fact that Bourbon's East India Company was able to develop so smoothly in India was also related to India's anti-British alliance at the time. The two neighbors, Hyderabad and Mysore, had always distrusted each other, and during the Second Anglo-Mysore War, Hyder Ali, the leader of Mysore, managed to win over Hyderabad and the Marathas.

In order to destroy this alliance, Britain signed the Treaty of Salpe with the Marathas, which stipulated that Britain would restore the territorial scope of both parties before the station. But the most critical thing was that Sindi in the Maratha Federation unilaterally threatened the British Suing for peace, the Peshwa was unable to continue the fight, causing the Marathas to withdraw from the anti-British alliance. After the war, Sindhi's status in the Maratha, which was originally lower than the Peshwa, improved.

In the Fourth Mysore War, the British were able to win because the Prime Minister of Mysore closed the city gate when the king went out to fight. The Sultan of Mysore was unable to return to the city and had to die in the battle. The self-interest of the Indian princes made it impossible for them to truly unite to resist the British. However, the "Pit Act" passed in London in 1784 stipulated that the East India Company was not allowed to expand its territory and pursued a "non-intervention policy" in the Indian Civil War.

Later, another governor was transferred back to the UK due to corruption issues. The next British governors sent to India were unwilling to leave the UK. They were often politically marginalized figures with little experience in Asia.

This period of relative peace provided Malcolm with the opportunity to study and embrace Enlightenment ideas as early as Scotland, where there were many retired military officers and office-bearers, while also learning about the unstable politics of Madras. Learn how to serve as a diplomat and soldier in the world.

Georgiana had once read a book by a statesman named Burke: Temperance and courtesy require us to be cautious, while in other things a higher prudence dictates that we say what we think.

Burke advocated reconciliation in the North American colonies, and Malcolm also believed in sharing power with the local Indian rulers.

In Sir Malcolm's policy, he advocated internationalizing and urbanizing India (heterodox city).

Louis XIV asked the nobles to leave their fiefs and live an aristocratic life in Versailles; the princes of the princely states would not leave. The tenancy system promoted by Cornwallis in India caused the peasants to leave the "Zaiminda". How do you live after losing your land?

Private ownership satisfied the owners of the land contract, who paid annual rent to the East India Company and could dispose of the land as they pleased. The traditional rural trust structure and its derivatives were irreparably dismantled. At the same time, Britain provided a stable flow of capital and employment opportunities in the city. Madras used to be a center of long-distance trade, but the people who lived here were all the same. They were either in rags or naked, and even the women had nothing but faces and hair. Nothing can be found outside the neck.

But there are many religious festivals here, and Malcolm met many small chiefs during his tenure as an officer and became friends with them.

Who wouldn’t be willing or want a happy life? Who can doubt what everyone is willing to do?

Anyway, everyone in Madras now has clothes to wear, and the city debt that previously plagued Madras has been resolved, all with the help of his brothers in the East India Company.

Now one of his brothers has become a judge of the Northern Circuit Court. The Frenchman's half-built dam did not intercept any rivers. It was more like a "water tank" that collected excess rainwater during the rainy season in India and provided it to Hyderabad during the dry season. "Urban" is used.

There was a "Napoleon" in India, his name was Richard Wellesley. He felt that the land he conquered in India exceeded Napoleon's achievements in Europe. He despised the merchant mentality of the East India Company and killed Mysore. After the Tiger of Er agreed to the second war between the British and the Marathas, he was now preparing for a war with the Scindia dynasty.

He took with him two younger brothers, one of whom was Arthur Wellesley, who was governor of Mysore and Selingabottom until Sir Malcolm came, and who followed Richard when Sir Malcolm came. Wellesley went to war.

Sir Malcolm learned Persian in Hyderabad in 1791. India is a country where Buddhism is prevalent, and Buddhist scriptures are written in Sanskrit. But Persians often communicated with Indians, and there were many Indians who could speak Persian.

Before Sir Malcolm, there was an ambassador from Persia to India. He was shot in Bombay because his attendants had a conflict with the sepoys of the East India Company. Then Sir Malcolm went to Persia to become an ambassador. And asked his cousin to send gifts to the Persian king.

Compared with southern India, he valued northwest India more and believed that it would be the main area for competition with Tsarist Russia.

"What do you think?" Georgiana asked Bougainville.

"I still don't understand how you could give such an instruction?" Bougainville said, "How can you not go all out in a war?"

"Because I agree with Sir Malcolm." Georgiana looked at him expressionlessly. "The first thing the government wants is freedom of navigation. What I want is allies against Tsarist Russia."

Bougainville said nothing.

"You are an explorer and have immunity. Don't get too involved in naval matters." Georgiana said.

"So that's why he's here?" Bougainville looked at Stanley.

Stanley looked at them in "horror."

"I thought I was coming over for afternoon tea," he said dryly.

"The tea is over, you can go." Bougainville said.

Stanley didn't leave.

"Go to Denon and ask him to find something for me," said Georgiana.

"What?" Stanley asked.

"The edict of Julius II," said Georgiana.

"What?" Stanley asked inexplicably.

"I remember that it seemed to be next to the trial records of the Knights Templar. You can find it by asking him to go to the library of the Louvre." Georgiana said.

Stanley walked away with a confused look on his face, leaving Georgiana and Bougainville behind.

"You are very kind and respectful to the indigenous people on the Pacific Islands. I hope you can maintain it." Georgiana looked at Bougainville. "People should look like human beings."

"But what we have to deal with is a monster." Bougainville said angrily, "Don't you think it's too unrealistic?"

"A monster who wants to be human." Georgiana said calmly. "Do you know how painful it is for a werewolf to restrain his desire to eat humans?"

Bougainville was stunned.

"Be careful wolves, they are very good at pretending. Speaking of which, what's going on over there in Gibraltar now?"

"That has nothing to do with me." Bougainville said expressionlessly, "My duty is to protect you."
