v10 Chapter 42: Jiangchuan conquered India busy

The camera turns to India, the navy pursues Mei Jiangchuan Hidetoshi, and first leads the shogunate navy Kasuga Maru and Hiunmaru to bombard the Indian rebels attacking Kolkata.

  The Governor of India, Viscount Charles Canning (December 14, 1812-June 17, 1862) warmly welcomed Alcock's arrival, and expressed considerable hope for him to bring India's three thousand traditional training team. The Indian native soldiers in the Bangladesh region took part in the uprising in an organized system, and Viscount Canning's hair was a lot paler.

  In history, he even intercepted the second batch of four British regiments that were transferred from South Africa to Hong Kong in preparation for an armed invasion of the Qing. The words "If you are thirsty for soldiers" are made exclusively for him.

   With the assistance of thousands of people from the shogunate's navy and army, Viscount Canning breathed a sigh of relief and immediately set about breaking the encirclement of Kolkata by the rebel army. As the capital of British India and the largest colonial city, Kolkata now has more than 1,700 British naval soldiers and Indian soldiers who support the rule of the British and Indian governments.

   Including the reinforcements of the shogunate and the armed British expatriates, Viscount Canning and Alcock gathered more than 5,000 people and went out of the city to fight the insurgents.

   Most of the main forces of the Indian rebels have gathered in Delhi, preparing to restore the rule of the Mughal Empire, so the number of rebels participating in the encirclement of Kolkata is not large. Soon, under the sea and land of the British and Japanese allied forces, they failed. Most of the insurgents were annihilated, and a small number fled to the countryside, trying to continue resisting.

   After winning the first battle, Viscount Canning breathed a sigh of relief, at least Kolkata was saved. Alcock also let out a long sigh of relief, the Shogunate Chuanxi team is still very good.

   Since it's easy to use, you can settle the previous 1.5 million pounds!

Originally, I was going to give it a try. First give half of it. The rest had to suppress the uprising and then pay for Viscount Canning. In order to urge the remaining three thousand passers to get in place, he happily paid 1.5 million pounds. The principal, and also pay a certain amount of interest. Finally, Alcock was fished out of the abyss of debts, and the two of them deepened their friendship.

   But privately, Viscount Canning repeatedly hinted that Alcock had no way to recruit troops from Japan. It has been several years since Japan was founded, and the British officers' coaching team has also visited hundreds of people. Why did they bring in these people? My British India’s annual revenue exceeds 70 million pounds, which is not worse than 1.5 million. As long as you can bring the same level of transfer team over, money is not a problem, as much as you want.

   You asked Alcock to be a soldier? Alcock didn't know how to perfuse Erkin at the time!

   Let's look at the front first. After Calcutta is safe, Viscount Canning will naturally begin to suppress the uprising across India. In Delhi, a lot of insurgents have gathered, with strong strength and high combat effectiveness. After all, many Indian native soldiers directly participated in the uprising. They were familiar with everything about the British army, and they were much better than the hastily armed peasants and handicraftsmen.

   Then cut off Delhi’s wings first!

   After discussing with Yingmin Jiang Chuan, Viscount Canning summoned two Gurkha infantry regiments. This was one of the elite mercenaries of the British army, and it was quite effective.

   Military objectives have also been set. Soldiers who retreat from Crimea will pass through Persia, turn into Punjab, and then Punjab will attack Delhi. The Sikhs in the Punjab region did not launch an uprising. Many Sikh infantry regiments were still loyal to the British Empire, which could serve as a useful supplement to the British army and increase the strength of the British army to suppress it.

   The army drawn from South Africa landed from Mumbai, and attacked Delhi northward, taking the way to resolve the uprising in the Zhangxi area. Queen Zhang Xi is taking her adopted son to besiege the local British garrison.

   In this way, the west, east, and south are encircled, and the Himalayas to the north are natural dangers, so you don’t need to think about it. To put it bluntly, it is to encircle on all sides and completely wipe out the Indian rebels within the encirclement.

   There is a saying, Viscount Canning’s plan is still safe and effective. Historically, it was this plan that ultimately suppressed the Indian uprising.

   So who is the pioneer?

   Jiang Chuan Hidetoshi waved his hand directly, and he told me to help protect Kolkata before I came. Now Kolkata is defending, even if my mission is completed, why do you let me and you continue to attack Delhi?

   Before leaving, Chuemon's words are still in my ears. The shogunate’s wealth is just that, you have to be careful, you have to be careful, you must not leave it in India!

   Without bringing the Three Thousand Passing Team, the army directly under Viscount Canning would be reduced by half, how could he agree? While urging Alcock to persuade Yingmin Jiang, he personally sent someone to reward the training team.

   not only promised to allow the passers-by team to not roll their names for three days after the attack on Lucknow, but also double the salary. During the period in India, everything in the training team was in charge of the British, including salary and logistics.

   The soldiers are a little tempted, but they are not tempted at all, so they have to add money!

   And it has to be cash, UU reading www.uukanshu.com gold coins and silver coins or something, you have to fall into my pocket, I can give you my life. I have done a good job, can the British give me a knighthood? Gold and silver are the most affordable.

   The two sides had bargained for a long time, and Viscount Canning paid an opening fee of 150,000 pounds to coax the passing team on the way. More than seven thousand troops drove to Lucknow. The British commissioner in Lucknow (the capital of Awad), Sir Henry Lawrence, was killed in the battle long ago. He is now being hoisted from the gate tower by the rebel army. He has been hoisted for more than two months.

   When the British and Japanese coalition forces arrived in Lucknow, there were only more than 300 British troops and loyal soldiers in Lucknow, and the city was almost destroyed. The British and Japanese forces fought fiercely with the insurgents outside the city, killing more than 200 people, defeating the besieged insurgents, and rescued the British and overseas Chinese in the city.

  The next goal of the army is Kanpur. If Kanpur is captured, then the attack on Delhi will be a smooth road without any blockage.

   Seeing that the training team was getting farther and farther from the coast, Jiang Chuan Yingmin was worried and immediately drafted a military report, preparing to report to the shogunate about the current situation of the training team. First, he announced to the shogunate that he had won a brilliant victory in India, defeated tens of thousands of insurgents, and won a lot of spoils.

   The second coming is to imply the shogunate, and quickly send new soldiers over. The four to six months agreed to change defenses. As long as the new army is replaced, the transfer team does not need to follow the British army in depth. Not only can losses be avoided, but also the glory of victory and the spoils of war can be returned to Japan.

   So I don’t say anything anymore, please send someone to change defense. If I don’t come to change me, I will have to follow to fight Delhi.
