I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

One of the guards smiled and said, "Haha, good sugar, Prince of India, give us some for afternoon tea!"

"That's perfectly all right, gentlemen."

Dalip smiled humbly, "It is my honor to share food with you."

"Hey, you can really talk, man!"

The guards were smiling and ready to share the sugar.

However, just as they shook the sugar bag away, a dark green thing emerged from the pile of white sugar.

"Boiled!"

"What is this!"

cried the guards.

"It's zebu dung. I paid a lot of money to buy it. You know, cow dung is getting more and more expensive with the depreciation of the pound..."

Dalip said enthusiastically: "You can try it, make tea with white sugar added with cow dung, the taste will be more natural..."

"Take it away, damn it!"

Amid the yelling and cursing of the British, Dalip walked quickly into the camp holding the white sugar bag.

Soon, he avoided everyone's sight and walked towards the oil depot where diesel and gasoline were stored.

Chapter 785 Daming Never Absent

Sikhs, in a sense, can be said to be the red necks of India.

Among the Indians who are known for their cunning, they can be regarded as very simple, or a simple group of people.

This can be seen from the fact that they have been repeatedly incited to fiercely resist Mo Laoxian's various reforms.

Before the arrival of the British, the Sikhs had always been at odds with the Hindus and Greens.

Sikhism itself was founded by a group of Indians who were dissatisfied with the strict caste system of Hinduism and pursued equality among people. At the same time, it was created to resist the oppression of the Green Christian establishment in the Mughal Empire.

If we only look at the teachings, Sikhism seems to Zhu Fugui to be a perfect religion.

They believe that there is no one and only true God in the world. They advocate equality, fraternity, and emphasizing practicality. They oppose the strict caste system of Hinduism, the various practices of the Green Church to exclude paganism, and oppose idolatry and discrimination against women in other religions.

Many say they are the best Indians.

Of course, theories are theories, doctrines are doctrines, and real situations require realistic analysis.

But in any case, the ideology and religious concepts of the Sikhs mean that they do have something in common with China, which can be called the basis for cooperation between the two parties.

At the beginning, Zhu Fugui never considered cooperating with the Sikhs.

The main reason is that there were some disgraceful bloodshed in Punjab when they entered the Indian subcontinent before the Song Dynasty.

Many Sikhs put the blame on Daming.

Until one day, a guy who claimed to be a Sikh prince contacted Daming's intelligence organization in India on his own initiative.

Daming's intelligence agent is called Liu Yong, nicknamed Yongzi.

He is an unshaven, dark-skinned Chinese businessman who has lived in India for many years.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to disclose it, others will find it difficult to see that he is a Han, but will regard him as a Gurkha, Burmese, Tibetan, or Siamese.

Today, there are many Burmese and Siamese in exile living in Calcutta, as well as Gorkhas and Tibetans who came to do business.

At that time, Dalip was wearing expensive maharaja costumes, but he was drunk on the streets of Calcutta alone.

This is obviously an extremely abnormal behavior.

But Liu Yong did not take action immediately, but observed quietly in secret.

Sure enough, the gemstone ring on Dalip's finger and the expensive clothes on his body soon attracted several enthusiastic Indian citizens.

Some of them wanted to help Dalip take off his underwear so that he would not be suffocated by his clothes after he was drunk;

Some helped Dalip take off the ring, so that he would not hurt himself due to drunken madness;

Others tried to touch Dalip's purse in order to help him find a hotel.

But when these kind and enthusiastic Indian citizens approached him, Dalip suddenly woke up.

He took out the traditional Sikh dagger from his waist, and easily repelled the enthusiastic citizens who came to help. Then he looked around and found that there was nothing special, and continued to pretend to be drunk in disappointment.

All this fell into Yongzi's eyes.

When the sun was setting, Dalip left Calcutta and returned to the Imperial Camp, but was suddenly intercepted by a group of masked armed men.

Later, he became Da Ming Sikh Dalip.

It is foreseeable that if his Sikh country can really be restored in the future, it will become sworn enemies with Tatar and Song Dynasty.

But what about this?

Anyway, it's not that the later generations of Laomei have been fathers of both Japan and South Korea at the same time, except for a little headache, it is not harmful.

In short, for Dalip Singh, who wanted to restore the country from the British, Daming was the only one he could rely on.

It was as if, in that turbulent era, the only feasible way to get rid of Midi's control was to call Xunzong.

If you don't want to be controlled by the Americans, and you don't want to recognize Xunzong as a loving father, then unless you have the size of a rabbit, it will be a tragedy.

……

On June 6, the weather in India began to become unbearably hot again.

The commemorative meeting to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Her Majesty Victoria's coronation as Empress of India was held as scheduled.

120 Imperial Cannon Salutes to Her Majesty the Queen.

After that, one after another, the salute of the 9-15 provinces announced the age of the princes and offered birthday gifts to the queen.

Aliguo, the former ambassador of the British Empire to the Russian Empire, the former ambassador of the British Empire to the Qing Dynasty, and the special representative of the central government of the British Empire, drove into the venue slowly in the latest Dobermans of the empire, raising dust all over the sky.

Compared with those princes riding horses or elephants, the cars of Ali Kingdom undoubtedly have a more modern aesthetic.

Enjoying 15 gun salutes, the princes and princes who ranked high came forward to ask how they could buy such a beautiful British car.

A Liguo said with his nostrils upturned: "This is a car that can only be equipped by senior officials of the empire. You can't buy it. If you really want to buy it, you have to pay more!"

He directly reported the astronomical figures denominated in gold, even if the princes of the Tubang were so rich that they couldn't help but click their tongues.

Many people feel that the British Empire is indeed the world's leading power. The cars they produce are no longer industrial products, but works of art.

However, many princes glanced at their mouths and muttered: "Do you really think I'm an old hat? Tatars in Rajasthan can buy smuggled second-hand cars from the Ming Dynasty. Although they are only second-hand cars, In my opinion, the workmanship and quality are no worse than those of the British!"

They all speak Hindi or Urdu, which A Liguo should not be able to understand theoretically.

But for some reason, just looking at the expressions of these damned Indians, Ali Guo guessed what they were talking about.

In particular, the word "Ming" has a simple pronunciation and short syllables, and it does not appear frequently in Hindi and English.

It was so ear-piercing that Ah Liguo couldn't help but punch those Indians in the nose.

In fact, the last time he attended the tsar's coronation ceremony in Constantinople, A Liguo wanted to face the few Russians who gloated at him because of the "Char Siu Prince" incident.

However, considering that the other party was a Russian and he was a British gentleman, A Liguo restrained such an impulse.

But now, the opposite is just a cowardly Indian, who is suitable for punching hard!

Considering the complicated situation in India today, these princes are still very valuable to the empire, Ali Kingdom resisted the impulse.

"I must warn you, my Indian friends..."

A Liguo tried to say a few words, "Based on my experience in attending the Qing empress dowager's birthday banquet in Beijing and the Tsar's coronation celebration in Constantinople, no matter what grand banquet it is, the villains of the Ming Dynasty will never be absent. I hope that when their bombs fall, you can still have such praise for the Ming Dynasty..."

Chapter 786 Prince Arthur

Halfway through the speech, Ah Liguo was stunned.

Yup!

It is indeed very possible!

Although it was just a threat to the Indian prince, in the end Aliguo himself became scared.

He hurriedly went to Lord Lytton to explain his concerns.

Unexpectedly, Lord Lytton laughed.

"Mr. Special Envoy, please don't worry, we are at the forefront of the confrontation with the people of the Republic of China, how could there be no air defense measures?"

"Speaking of which, this is a German invention. During the Franco-Prussian War, Gambetta and other senior French officials escaped from Paris in an airship. The German Marshal Moltke developed a modified cannon specially used to attack balloons."

"I heard that more than [-] such anti-aircraft guns have been deployed in London. Why, Mr. Aliguo, haven't you seen it?"

Faced with the questioning of a lord who had been dispatched to India for a long time, A Liguo felt a little hot on his face.

I don't know as much about London as an old hat.

But Ah Liguo thinks he can't be blamed for this.

First of all, I am a diplomat.

It is quite normal for a professional diplomat to not understand military equipment.

Secondly, I really didn't pay attention to such things, after all, I had been working in St. Petersburg before.

Those Slavic asses have no need for air defense at all.

And when he rushed back to London for investigation because of the death of Prince Freljord, he was distracted and didn't notice these air defense facilities.

In any case, when he heard that there was something capable of restraining Ming's aircraft, A Liguo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then where are all these lovely anti-aircraft cannons?"

"Mr. Envoy, Calcutta is not London, and we cannot put six hundred anti-aircraft guns here, in fact, there are not even sixty anti-aircraft guns here.

Thanks to the bombing of Constantinople, the Queen sent two weapons design experts to our arsenal in Calcutta for guidance, and also sent some traction internal combustion engines. "

"By the way, the materials used to make these anti-aircraft guns were rebuilt with the giant Jaivana cannon seized from the Sikh army back then!"

"I'm afraid you don't know how huge the Sikh cannons in Punjab are. A single cannon weighs more than 11 tons! It is even more exaggerated than the Urban cannon, and it is also far behind."

"Do you think so, Mr. Dalip?"

Lord Lytton shifted the topic to Dalip, who dug his fingers tightly into the flesh, but still smiled on his face, "That's right, my lord, these cumbersome cannons are useless in front of the advanced and dexterous Armstrong cannons." It is their honor to fight back, to be melted down and cast into anti-aircraft guns that protect Imperial property."

"Haha, Mr. Dalip is truly an enlightened Indian!"

Lord Lytton patted Dalip on the shoulder and said, "By the way, do you know what Miss Gilmar is preparing? Oh yes, she will definitely not let you know.

In the opening ceremony of a while, she will perform a motorcycle trapeze with the boys from the Immortal Army. At that time, all the gentlemen in the audience will take off their hats and cheer! "

"Immortal Army?" Dalip was stunned.

Lord Lytton said with a smile: "It's the 72nd Infantry Regiment, I think your father should be very impressed with them..."

After saying that, he left with A Liguo without looking back, "Mr. A Liguo, let me show you the layout of our camp. Don't worry, if the Ming people dare to come, Calcutta will be the myth that the Ming army is invincible." The Land of Destruction!"

Looking at their backs going away, Dalip sneered.

Of course he remembered the Immortals, the 72nd Infantry.

It was these guys who destroyed the main force of the Sikh Kingdom in the Battle of the Great Lakes and captured their father.

It is also because of the heavy casualties in this battle that the 72nd Infantry Regiment was nicknamed the Immortals, or the old immortals.

"Good luck, immortal gentlemen."

Dalip murmured, "If you are still immortal under the bombs of the Royal Air Force of Ming Dynasty..."

……

At ten o'clock in the morning local time, the grand opening ceremony was held as scheduled.

The temporary venue built was so huge and the number of participants was so large that the cheers and noise from here almost overwhelmed the urban area of ​​Calcutta, which was several kilometers away.

A Liguo represented the will of the Prime Minister of the British Empire, and his status in the world was very high, but it was not enough to sit on the throne.

Lord Lipton engaged in such a big battle, spent so much money, and starved so many Indians to death. Of course, it was not for the purpose of performing for Ali Guo and pleasing such a special envoy.

This time, there is a member of the royal family with a very high status in the British delegation visiting India.

That is the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathern and Governor General of Canada.

Of course, just as the Governor-General of India is not necessarily in India, the Governor-General of Canada is not necessarily in Canada.
