In addition to the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, there were four battalions of garrisons in Dhaka, two of which were all made up of Indians, one was a mixture of Indians and Gurkhas, and the other was the newly rebuilt 35th Battalion led by Mars Howard.

Oh, by the way, Dhaka also has an all-British company, but this company is only responsible for Lord Belloc's security, and nothing else, so it can't be relied on.

What Lord Belloc could rely on was the few people in the conference room.

Roque didn't speak because the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division was a guest army in Dhaka, so it wasn't Roque's turn to speak, and Mars Howard and Garfield Huntington couldn't play dead, this was their job, so Lord Belloc directly named him.

"Director Huntington, your opinion—"

Garfield Huntington's expression was obviously surprised, as if Lord Belloc would directly call him by name before he was dumbfounded, and he was dumbfounded for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "We should send troops and arrest them all in prison—"

As if he hadn't said this, Lord Belloc glared at Garfield Huntington viciously with cannibalistic eyes.

This time Garfield Huntington's words were a bit constructive: "The police will be responsible for the aftermath, reassuring the families of the victims, and doing their best to treat the wounded, but you know, my lord, that the medical force in Dhaka is not good, and those wounded may not be able to enjoy effective treatment, so it is better to send people to Kolkata as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of the hospital, Mars Howard's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had something to say, but looked at Roque and held back alive.

"If you have something to say, say it!" Lord Belloc was very dissatisfied.

"Sir, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division has a field hospital—" Mars Howard was still looking at Roque's face as he spoke, for fear of angering Roque.

Roque couldn't avoid this question, and admitted very simply: "The new 1st Cavalry Division does have a field hospital, but we don't have enough medicine and enough medical equipment, so the hospital can treat those injured civilians, but there is no guarantee that they will be cured." ”

At this time, no one dared to boast about Haikou, let alone being injured by a full-charge military bullet, even if a finger was cut, it was possible to die because of tetanus.

Especially in an environment like India, the probability of death is particularly high.

"Do your best, but you have to do your best—" Lord Belloc was a little confused.

Roque was confused, not knowing whether to do his best or go all out.

"The next question is how to alleviate the increasingly serious contradictions." Lord Belloc asked another nonsense, in fact, it is very simple to alleviate the contradiction, everyone present knows that it is enough to stop collecting taxes, but this is absolutely unacceptable to the Doge's Palace.

The tax levied by the Governor's Office this time was a special tax similar to the poll tax, and all people in India had to pay at least one shilling to meet the needs of the Indian government to move the capital.

Yes, the Count of Minto, out of security concerns, has decided to move the capital from Kolkata to Delhi.

Considering that Delhi's urban facilities were not strong enough to become the capital of India, Count Minto decided to build a new city south of Delhi and make it the capital of India, which was called New Delhi.

It is not easy to rebuild a city, especially the relocation of the capital, which involves a wide range of ups and downs, and one or two million pounds is estimated to be not enough, so this time the poll tax is used to build New Delhi.

There are 250 million people in India, and one shilling per person is more than 20 million pounds, which is enough to rebuild a city.

Roque didn't know how huge the scale of New Delhi planned by Count Minto, Johannesburg started from scratch, and it only cost more than three million pounds before and after.

Therefore, the situation is like this now, it is imperative to move the capital, so the tax must also be levied, and Lord Belloc is actually asking how to successfully bring the tax up without intensifying the contradiction.

Mars Howard and Garfield Huntington couldn't do anything about this problem either, but Lord Belloc didn't count on them either, and compared to them, Roque was the best at collecting money.

"Lord Nyasaland, do you have any good advice?"

Roque almost blurted out "I don't", and when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, thought about it carefully, and still gave his own advice: "Ordinary Indians have no money, they don't have jobs, they don't have property, and it's more difficult for them to pay taxes, so I suggest that it is better to calculate how much taxes are collected in the entire East Bengal region, and then we invite those brahmins and Kshatriyas to come over and discuss with them how to solve this problem." ”

What Roque does best is ripping off bamboo.

In other words, what Roque is best at is robbing the rich and helping the poor, the poor in India have become poor like this, even if they are forced, it is estimated that they will not be able to force any oil and water, and the real rich are those earth kings and Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and they should bear this cost.

The point is that they can afford it.

"No, no, Locke, the situation in India is different from that of the Transvaal, and we need the cooperation of those earth kings and high castes in order to rule India more effectively." Lord Bellok was also very embarrassed, he also knew that ordinary people had no money, and the wealth of all India was concentrated in the earth kings and temples-

Temples, yes, and temples.

There are really a lot of temples in India, the four levels of the caste system, the first level of Brahmin is the monk aristocracy, the second level of Kshatriya is the military aristocracy and political aristocracy, so the richest temple in India is the temple, many temples have been passed down for thousands of years, God knows how much wealth is hidden in the secret rooms of those temples.

In his previous life, Roque also heard that a huge amount of gold was found in the secret room of a temple in India, worth more than 20 billion US dollars, this is just an ordinary temple, and it is estimated that there are at least thousands of temples in India, so there are no secret rooms in other temples?

Roque didn't believe it.

However, it seems that the consequences of attacking the temple will be more serious than attacking the earth king.

So Roque endured it, but in the end he didn't make this suggestion.

"Lord, in the riots in Dhaka, those princes and nobles don't seem to be playing their due role—" Since he couldn't afford to mess with the temple, Roque still targeted the earth kings.

"Yes Lord, we have intelligence that the riots in Dhaka have a lot to do with the Bala family and the Valmo family in eastern Dhaka, although we have no evidence that it was the Bala family and the Valmo family who supported this riot, but in the entire East Bengal region, the territory of the Bala family and the Valmo family is now the most stable, which is very abnormal." Garfield Huntington has finally found his starting point, but his reason is also very unusual.

Could it be that because the territory of the Bala family and the Val family is the most stable, it is the Bala family and the Val family who supported this riot?

This logic is also bastard.

However, it is not impossible, you must know that the national uprising of 1857 was initiated by the Tuwang of several northern states, so although most of the Tuwang were cooperative with the British colonization, it was not all, and there were still people who wanted to get rid of British colonial rule.

To Roque's surprise, Roque was originally a very nonsense matter, but it immediately attracted the attention of Lord Belloc.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me more about it. "Lord Beloc's face is ugly, although the British government treats these Indian kings preferentially, but it also maintains a very high vigilance against these Indian kings, even if ordinary Indians commit rebellion, their influence is still limited after all, and as long as these feudal kings can really threaten the British colonial rule.

"Five days ago, a tax officer from the tax office led a team of policemen to the territory of the Valmo family to collect taxes, but was violently resisted by the locals, the tax collector was killed, and more than half of the police were killed or wounded, and the police who fled took advantage of the chaos confirmed that the rebels had advanced weapons, including Martini Henry's rifle, which were in the territory of the Valmo family, and only the private army of the Valmo family could possess, so we have reason to believe that the Valmo family had actually participated in the rebellion, and we had to take action, Otherwise, the situation will worsen further. Garfield Huntington was not embarrassed at all, he was very impassioned.

Roque couldn't imagine how rotten the police station in Dhaka could be, the tax collectors were actually killed by the mob, and it seemed that Garfield Huntington had not arranged revenge, which was too embarrassing for the police.

"Why didn't you report such a big thing?" Lord Belloc was equally aware of the problem.

"We're still investigating, and I want to report back to you when the situation is clear." Garfield Huntington was unashamed, and the expression on his face was very worried about the country and the people.

"So where is the investigation now?" Lord Belloc asked.

Garfield Huntington was immediately speechless.

"Locke, can the new 1st Cavalry Division be dispatched?" Lord Belloc didn't care about Garfield Huntington, and settled the problem first.

"Yes, but can we go directly to the territory of the Val Guy family and arrest all the Val Guy family?" Roque couldn't believe that because of this untenable reason, he sent troops to capture a soil king?

The status of these earth kings is really too low.

"Let's get the people back first, if it turns out that the Val family has nothing to do with this matter, I will naturally apologize at that time." Lord Belloc did not dare to be careless on this matter.

"No, no, no, Lord, this is not appropriate, we should first determine the attitude of the Val family, why don't we invite the people of the Val family and the Barra family to the dinner?" Roque didn't want to be in a hurry, it was easy to catch people and it was difficult to deal with the aftermath, if he really wanted to poke out the basket, he still had to end up with the newly formed First Cavalry Division.
