New Shun 1730

At this moment, no one on the battlefield in Bengal has the ability to command a battle of more than 10,000 people.

Du Feng doesn't have it, Clive doesn't have it, Watson doesn't have it, and Jafar doesn't have it.

They actually only have the ability to command 3,000 to 5,000 people in battle. To put it bluntly, they are a group of land warfare "brigades" and "regimental commanders" fighting a battle of tens of thousands of people here.

That's why there was a war drama in which Clive and Siraj fought against 50,000 to 60,000 people and dozens of people died on both sides.

That's why the order of the staff of the Dashun Army at this time was actually to let each of the three or five battalions fight on their own.

However, due to the characteristics of the specialization of tactics after the Dashun Army reform, the battlefield has already shown a one-sided situation.

The order to take the spoils privately means slaughter on the battlefield.

And this is different from "pitting all the prisoners after capture".

The Dashun regular cavalry, which has completed the task of flanking Jafar's cavalry, began to line up on the battlefield.

Given that the direction of the Dashun Army reform is based on the northwest's resistance to the pan-Mongol cavalry.

Therefore, those small landlord warriors in the system of good families who served as light cavalry and scouts have always been full of confidence in one-on-one confrontation on horseback.

However, these people who were originally refugees or wanderers seeking survival in Southeast Asia may have never ridden a horse before joining the army. Although the training was rigorous, the tactical system of Dashun still allowed them to maintain a dense formation charge.

Its purpose was to fight against any form of old-fashioned nomadic cavalry that had an advantage in one-on-one melee, to avoid exposing the personal flanks of their own cavalry, and to avoid one-on-one horse duels between their own cavalry and those who had almost learned to ride horses since childhood.

Dashun called these regular cavalry "a wall". In fact, Dashun knew very well that this was not the wall tactic of the rebel army in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, but it did not prevent them from calling it that.

The three battalions of Dashun regular cavalry lined up in company formations, and along with the officers' orders, the trumpeter blew a particularly long and melodious sound.

The cavalry of the first and second lines began to move forward slowly, until they were a certain distance away, and the cavalry of the third line followed behind.

After running slowly for about a hundred steps, the second bugle sounded, and the sound became slightly shorter.

The pace of the whole army changed from the slow pace at the beginning to the fast pace with double the speed, but this was still not running, but the fast pace of the horses.

At this time, the formation was of course neat and complete, and each cavalryman was surrounded by his comrades, which made them very relieved, and they did not have to worry about the enemy appearing on their side or on the side that was not very useful.

After marching quickly for a while, the third bugle sounded, and the speed of the cavalry increased to about three times the initial slow pace.

After countless training and decomposition movements, until this time, the cavalry line was already flat.

Until about 150 steps away from the Bengal cavalry on the opposite side, the bugle sounded again.

The cavalry of the first line finally let the horses "run". Although the speed of marching was much faster than that of infantry, it was still not called running in the tactical manual, but walking at three times the speed of cavalry.

At this time, these cavalrymen began to really run.

After running only a few dozen steps, the war horses became excited and began to accelerate unconsciously, but the cavalrymen who were still sober as a whole still controlled the overall steps and formation.

Some of the Bengal cavalry on the opposite side also organized a counterattack, but it was obviously too late.

At this time, the trumpeter of the Dashun Army blew a loud and rapid military trumpet, and the first-line cavalry increased the speed of the horses by taking advantage of the speed just now, untying the final restraint on the horses.

All the war horses went crazy. This was not to charge the infantry phalanx, so the cavalrymen did not go crazy like that, but raised their cavalry swords slightly tilted upwards and rumbled into the already chaotic cavalry team of the Bengalese.

Taking advantage of the horse's speed, the cavalry on the front line only raised their cavalry swords and occasionally made some tactical moves, such as leaning forward, but the direction of the cavalry swords remained fixed, relying on the impact of the horses to pierce the bodies of the Bengal cavalry on the opposite side.

Then, unlike the infantry, they did not actively draw their swords, but used the speed of the horse's charge to pull the swords back from the opponent's body.

The Bengal cavalry, which was almost exhausted, had no power to resist the Dashun's attack.

The formation was completely broken up, the previous attack was completely ineffective, and the psychological shadow brought by the first wave of scattered soldiers and artillery volleys made them completely give up the last bit of energy to continue fighting.

The scattered cavalry began to flee backwards, which left a very deep impression on the Dashun cavalry: it was not easy to catch.

The Dashun cavalry, which had broken up the Bengal cavalry, turned their horses around and began to pursue freely in platoons.

More cavalry stared at the very conspicuous group of Bengal cavalry. Especially some scouts who had been hiding in the middle of the square on the flanks just now. They didn't recognize Jafar, but they could keenly smell the most valuable spoils on the battlefield.

In the orders before and during the battle, there was only the sentence "the spoils belong to me", and there was no supplement such as "there will be rewards for capturing Jafar, Clive, Coote, etc."

This was clear enough for these scouts. The governor did not want prisoners, especially those high-ranking officers.

Du Feng's meaning was still very clear.

He wanted to kill people to establish his authority.

Since France has withdrawn, then the British who know India best should be killed, leaving no one alive, to prevent future troubles.

Killing people to establish prestige, building a Jingguan to show military merit, that is Du Feng's own idea.

The latter, in fact, is a strategic guide endorsed by the Privy Council - after capturing the enemy, identify all British who can speak English, Urdu, Bengali, Persian, or Sanskrit at the same time, including the "literate class of the British and French East India Company" who are proficient in multiple languages ​​among the captured French.

Gather all and execute them secretly.

The specific method is best to create a shipwreck.

This is something endorsed by the official text of the Privy Council's seal, and Du Feng will naturally choose to implement it faithfully. As for the specific method, the Privy Council only provided a suggestion, creating a shipwreck. But Du Feng felt that the identification was too troublesome, it would be better to kill more people on the battlefield, saving the time to identify.

Of course, this secret order guided by the Privy Council could not be issued to every soldier. Besides, they didn't understand.

Du Feng was very clever in conveying this order to the grassroots in his own way:

Because the British came to India to make money, and the literate class in those days in the UK must at least be graduates from a seminary or university.

Most of the company's employees went to sea at the age of 14 or 15 to try their luck and make money. They can only be ordinary employees, at most a company accountant.

If there are people who the Privy Council wants to identify and secretly execute, they must be officers or at least people of status. Otherwise, they would not be proficient in English, Latin, Urdu, Persian, etc. Just like in Korea and Japan, if you find some people who know Chinese and can read the Four Books and Five Classics, they must be literate, at least at the level of samurai.

Therefore, Du Feng cleverly transformed this order from the Privy Council into slaughter and looting on the battlefield, that is, a simple sentence of taking the spoils for yourself.

Because those soldiers who were going to rob would definitely "take care" of those officers, people of status, and people dressed differently.

If the cavalry could only kill one of the Bengal infantrymen in tattered clothes and the British officer who was dressed gorgeously and wore an officer's cap and probably had a pocket watch, and take the things on his body as trophies, which one would they choose to kill?

Obviously, Du Feng's order was very effective.

He cleverly transformed the order of the Privy Council into an order that the lower-level soldiers could fully understand and execute.

So, those scouts who knew martial arts, relying on their more sensitive sense of robbery than regular cavalry and phalanx infantry, used the chaotic battlefield as their hunting ground and began to hunt.

Several scout teams, relying on their sense of smell, locked onto a group of people surrounding Jafar. They could smell the strong smell of gold, silver and jewelry on them, and decided to bite them like hounds, regardless of day or night.

At this time, Jafar knew that he had lost.

However, he did not regret his choice to betray, because the history and reality after the basic disintegration of the Mughal Empire told him that in this era of separatist regimes, he, who held all the elite cavalry of Bengal in his hands, would either become a governor or his whole family would die and be killed by the new governor.

This was the rule of the separatist regimes.

He did not even think that he was an "Indian traitor" because he felt that he only relied on the power of the British. If the Chinese had not brought Siraj back, he would have been ready to drive the British away first...

This is the interesting part of history. He was not completely broken by the British as in history, so he could comfort himself, deceive himself, and say that he was just forced to save Bengal in a roundabout way.

The dispatch of the Dashun army resulted in him not having the opportunity to prove himself... At least, at this time, he was excusing himself in this way.

So, he really hated the Dashun, not the British who caused all this. Because the Dashun not only destroyed his power, but also completely destroyed his chance to whitewash himself.

Next to Jafar, several British who had been following him were shouting loudly.

"Jiedushi! Retreat! Cross the Ganges and come back. We still have a chance, don't hesitate!"

Jafar knew what the British were thinking. Now, these British can only stand with him, and only if he and them work together to return to their base can they delay their demise.

He looked at Warren Hastings, a senior employee of the British company and the chief representative of the East India Company in the court of the Jiedushi of Bengal.

Perhaps it was the madness of despair, Jafar suddenly laughed and mocked: "Hastings, you shouldn't have learned Urdu, Sanskrit, and tried so hard to understand our history. You should have learned the Chinese language first, understood their history, and guessed their actions."

"A piece of fat mutton, with two lions next to it. Before driving away the other lion, you lion spent all your thoughts on how to cook the mutton to make it delicious, and kept saying in your heart that the other lion would not like this piece of mutton..."

"You don't deserve to enjoy this piece of fat mutton."

Hastings, who was mocked, was a typical example of the Privy Council order on the Dashun side to be selected and executed.

The order of the Dashun Privy Council was obviously the kind that would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

Because Dashun knew very well that the difficulty of ruling India was not the problem between Dashun and India, but the problem between Dashun and Europe.

Do the British understand India?

No. At least not at this time.

Just like the British do not understand China.

Dashun wanted to kill all the cultural exchange carriers that might lead Europeans to understand India, that is, the "literate class" in the Privy Council's massacre order.

To make Europe fall into... the state of understanding India like Voltaire understood China.

People always plan ahead for some things they have experienced or done.

For example, Dashun really got involved in European politics before, and even participated in European coups to a certain extent.

Therefore, Dashun knew very well that the premise for external forces to get involved was to understand the other party. If they did not understand, they would make a lot of jokes if they tried to understand other countries according to their own political rules.

Therefore, in order to prevent external forces from interfering with India and contacting India to threaten Dashun's rule in the future, at least for now, the key is not India itself, but to kill all the literate classes in Europe who have practiced, seen and understood India.

As long as they are killed, Europe's understanding of India will once again fall into the state of understanding China.

For a long time, the conquest of India was transformed into a simple issue between Dashun and India, rather than a problem between Dashun and Europe.

To understand a country's culture, history, class, and social conditions, it is not enough to rely on books alone.

Moreover, there are no books now.

Only those who have truly practiced and lived can figure it out. Only they can truly understand how to use the power of four ounces to move a thousand pounds, use the smallest investment, create the biggest trouble, and frustrate Dashun's rule and conquest.

And now, it can be confirmed that there are no British people in Britain who really understand India, they are all in India.

As long as they are identified and all executed, Europe will return to the level of understanding that "there are gold digging ants in India" for at least fifty years.

The reason why Warren Hastings is said to be a typical example of identification and execution under the order of the Dashun Privy Council.

This typical example does not mean that he was the Governor-General of India in history.

The Governor-General of India is just an official position, which does not mean that he understands India. It may be because of family power, party struggles, or cabinet conspiracy that he may run to India to become the Governor-General.

For example, Clive is obviously not a typical example of identification and execution under the order of the Dashun Privy Council.

The reason why Clive is not a typical example and Hastings is a typical example is this:

He graduated from Westminster School and is a standard intellectual.

Historically, Hastings established the Oriental Society and began to deeply understand the history of India, and truly "compiled the colony into a book that can be viewed."

He spent energy to understand the class, land system, and religious conflicts in India, and keenly found the breakthrough point of "divide and rule".

He sent people to compile a large number of Hindu myths, and grasped the social reality of India, and constructed a brand-new rhetoric system.

Moreover, this rhetoric system became a common means for invaders from all over the world in later generations.

For example, the famous "Brahmin and the Ganges" created such a rhetoric: the British are the guardians of Hinduism, they rescued Hinduism from the tyranny and persecution of Muslims, and all Brahmins should express gratitude to the new master.

This set of things was used when Napoleon conquered Egypt, and when Japan invaded the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia, and even in later generations. Even some Chinese in later generations are using this set of things to explain the Opium War...

Apart from other things, only looking at colonial rule as a technology, we have to admit that this is a real colonial master.

The real champion of Lifanxue and the founder of imperial studies.

A master who truly integrates practice and chanting.

In addition to these theoretical systemic things, he also established a Muslim madrassa in Calcutta, so that while winning over the Hindus, he also found a way for a large number of Muslim upper classes to rise: studying in the madrassa, they can become lawyers and continue to maintain their class status.

Because Hastings found that the lower-level Muslim peasants have a rebellious spirit, but they are illiterate and uneducated, and use Bengali; while the upper-level Muslim nobles are literate and educated, but use Urdu and Persian.

So "the key to the problem is to cut off the connection between the upper and lower classes, so that they cannot realize their existence as a whole. We must maintain the privileges and opportunities for advancement of the middle and upper classes of Muslims, and ensure that they will not oppose the company with those lower-level peasants."

At the same time, after winning over the middle and upper classes of Muslims, he decisively proposed the method of "Hinduism rules Hinduism, and Muslims rule Muslims."

And during his tenure as governor, he formulated a reward system: anyone who contributes to linguistics, history, Sanskrit dictionaries, and Persian dictionaries will be rewarded with 7,200 acres of plantation land income.

He is not the only one who is typical of this kind.

The Privy Council of Dashun did not know the existence of Hastings at all. The Privy Council's killing order was aimed at all similar people.

Because of a very simple reason.

The correct thinking of a person does not fall from the sky, but is obtained through practice.

A person in London or a person sitting in a French cafe salon, in this era of poor information flow, cannot understand a distant and complex country.

Britain's colonial history did not start from India.

However, people who can be good colonial officials in America cannot be officials in the Eastern colonies.

Because they can't understand it at all.

For example, what problems does the person who is the governor of Barbados have to face?

It is sugar merchants, smugglers, slaves, and slave owners.

This is certainly a colonial experience, but is this set of colonial experience useful in the East?

India is a real Lifan and Imperial University.

Only after "graduating" from this school can you really do the sun never sets, and really understand Egypt, Turkey, India, and Persia.

If you can't graduate from this school, then there will never be a sun never sets, and you can only play the slave colonial rule on both sides of the Atlantic.

For Dashun, the reform of the Southwest is the "preparatory class" for Nanyang.

Ceylon is the "preparatory class" for India.

Guandong is the "preparatory class" for the Southern Ocean and the west coast of North America.

Precisely because people's correct ideas cannot fall from the sky, the Privy Council of Dashun issued a massacre order to kill all those who might make Europe's understanding of India reach the level of clarifying the class, land system, religious contradictions, and caste system, so that they can maintain the level of understanding of the "Golden Ant Legend" within 50 years or even 100 years.

Shareholders sitting in London cannot understand India without practice. And the only group of people who can have a great impact on Dashun's rule in India can only be the European literate class in India at this time.

Ordinary employees cannot be graduates of Westminster School. Similarly, graduates of Westminster School cannot be ordinary employees.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Privy Council, it is not difficult to identify. Create a shipwreck and sink those people from France, Portugal, and Denmark together, and solve it.

Dashun was not worried about people like Clive, because such people would use the same method in North America and the Caribbean. If the same method can be applied everywhere, then it will definitely not understand the Eastern countries.

To deal with Clive, Dashun had generals and military cadets.

So he was not typical.

For a long time, the Ottoman Empire was not the sick man of West Asia.

Then, after the "Professional University of Lifan Studies" in India was solved by Dashun, Europe would be completely trapped in the pace of colonial rule. Their practical knowledge made them only understand the rule of North America and the Caribbean, where the indigenous culture was almost blank and lacked historical depth.

Without the practical opportunities here, the east of the Cape of Good Hope had nothing to do with them.

It should be said that the group of people who got the diploma and their experience from the "Colonial Practice University" in America and the Caribbean were completely useless in Persia, India, and Egypt. It is probably similar to asking an obstetrician to treat the anterior fissure gland.
