The Sikhs soon reported the rebellion to the Anglo-Indian Governor Canning, who took the Sikh rebellion very seriously. He knew that the survival of Punjab was crucial, and immediately ordered the commander-in-chief of the British army in Shimla, Enson, to go to Punjab to stabilize the situation in Punjab first.

With 12,000 men and two routes, Ensun set out from Shimla to Lahore and Chandigarh in Punjab, but when his main force of 7,000 men arrived outside Amritsar, not far northeast of Lahore, he found it too late!

The city of Amritsar, the holy city of Sikhism, has been overrun by fanatical Sikhs. The old flag of the Sikh kingdom, which had disappeared a decade ago, was hung above the city gates, while the corpses of thousands of British soldiers and civilians were hung on the city walls, indicating a bloody massacre not long ago.

More than 1,000 Britons who escaped from the cities of Amritsar and Lahore painted their faces black and dressed in Sikh costumes before they took the opportunity to sneak out of the city, but many died in the hot weather and hardships on the way, and many more were killed by the villagers along the way. The Sikhs have lost their minds.

British Inspector General in India? Kanning hurriedly contacted several princes and lords of Punjab, such as Parthiara, Nawashefer, Nabo, etc., and promised to respect their Sikh faith, allow Sikhs to wear hats and beards, preserve the traditions of their Khalsa order, promise to build more hospitals and schools in the Punjab area, and appropriately increase the salary of Sikh soldiers.

At the same time, Canning also signed an agreement with several Sikh princes, requiring them to put in order to manage their Sikh soldiers and civilians under their rule, and the soldiers to help the British put down the rebellion in the Punjab, and in return, the British promised to keep them neutral and bring the captured areas under their rule. The princes and lords of Parthiara, Nawashefer, and Napo were overjoyed, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to expand their sphere of influence. So, they led their men into the city of Lahore to assist the British native army. Another 20,000 troops, together with 6,000 British troops, were organized to attack the city of Amritsar, which had been occupied by the rebellious Sikh soldiers.

After a fierce battle, the city of Amritsar was breached. The rebellious Sikh soldiers lost thousands of casualties, while the Sikh soldiers of the princely lords also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, while the British soldiers suffered only more than 1,000 casualties.

The whole of Amritsar was completely burned, but this angered the rest of the Sikhs even more. The Sikhs in Punjab, who had a martial tradition, took up arms and fought against the British when they heard of the destruction of the holy city, and at the instigation of some fanatical Sikhs, a full-scale rebellion broke out in the entire Punjab region.

At the same time, a war was raging in and around Chandigarh.

Hundreds of British troops in the city have been killed by 5,000 Sikh rebels, and 5,000 British troops from Shimla have just arrived in Chandigarh, together with 3,000 Sikh princes, to launch a fierce attack on the Sikh rebels in the city. Just as the city of Chandigarh was in danger, an army suddenly appeared in the east. The 6,000 Sikh army, led by Kumar, joined the battle and launched a fierce assault on the besieging British army.

The British army did not know how many people and horses, only felt that the vast tens of thousands of Sikh reinforcements, suddenly panicked, and at this time, the Sikhs organized by several surrounding villages also led thousands of Sikh people to rush to help the battle, after two days of fierce fighting, half of the 3,000 Sikh princes were annihilated, and the rest all rebelled, turning their guns to the British army. After more than 1,000 dead in the battle, the British army finally couldn't resist and was defeated in the city of Shimla.

The victory in Chandigarh has boosted the confidence of the Sikhs, who feel like they are back in time to the invincible Sikh Empire fifty years ago. And Summit. Kumar was elected as the head of the Khalsa Order in Chandigarh because he led the largest number of troops under his command and was the savior of Chandigarh City.

Summit. Kumar changed his name to Summit. Kumar. Singh, who declared the Chandigarh region to break away from the British East India Company and form an independent Sikh kingdom --- the Sikh kingdom of Punjab.

After integrating the Sikhs from several surrounding villages and the Sikh soldiers in the original city of Chandigarh, the strength reached more than 20,000 people, and the weapons were equipped from the British warehouses in the city. Kumar. Singh ordered a march to the nearby Punjabi villages of Moga and Ludhiana, recruiting Sikhs as soldiers along the way, and slaughtering them all the way to the Sikh holy city of Amritsar.

Summit. Kumar finally succeeded in gaining the approval of the Sikhs, and he sent people everywhere to encourage the Sikhs in the villages of the Punjab to restore their homes, rebuild the Sikh Empire, and restore the glory of the Sikh people.

Soon, there was a rebellion among the Maharaja of Parthia, and the angry Sikh people were very dissatisfied with the Maharaja of Parthiara's defection to the Maharaja who burned the holy city of Sikh. Kumar led the attack, and the territory of Parthiara was quickly conquered, and the British army was too busy to ignore his pleas for help. In desperation, the prince of Parthiara fled to Lahore with his cronies.

In addition, the two princes of Nawashefer and Nabo also rebelled one after another, declaring their independence from Britain and rebuilding the Sikh Empire. As a result, the situation in Punjab changed greatly, and the British reduced their forces to more than 10,000 troops in Punjab to Lahore and Amritsar, two large cities that were very close to each other, waiting for troops to come to help.

Summit. Kumar. Singh led the Sikh army and finally arrived outside Amritsar, and at this time, after recruiting and collecting Sikhs all the way, the strength has reached 40,000, and because each village in the Punjab area has its own Sikh self-defense arm, some villages even have as many as 20,000 or 30,000 people, muskets are prevalent, there is no need to worry about weapons, coupled with the martial atmosphere of the Sikh people, these 40,000 people are fully equipped with muskets and Sikh scimitars and other weapons.

Despite the lack of artillery, the Sikh army of Punjab collected more than 20 guns along the way, and drove them to the city of Amritsar with hundreds of mules.

Amrri is the holy city of Sikhism. The Golden Temple in the city is the center of Sikhism.

Summit. Kumar. Singh claimed that he did not want to attack the city with artillery, damage the holy city of Sikhism, and even more did not want the Golden Temple to be attacked by the flames of war. He issued a proclamation to allow two days for the British troops in the city to withdraw from the holy city, and the Sikhs he led could let them leave safely, and at the same time called on the Sikhs in the city to repent and stop their sins, and to quickly defect from the British army and return to the arms of the Sikh Order.

In less than two days, 4,000 British troops and 2,000 Sikh soldiers in the city fled out of the city to the nearby city of Lahore, thirty or forty miles away, while the remaining more than 10,000 Sikhs suddenly opened the gates of Amritsar and welcomed the troops of the Sikh Kingdom of Punjab outside the city into the city.

Summit. Kumar. Singh's bloodless recapture of the city of Amritsar has greatly increased his popularity, and there are private rumors that Samit has been reclaimed. Kumar. Singh is the reincarnation of the fifth Guru Arjun, Samit. Kumar. The conditions are ripe for Singh's ascension.

A few days later, Summit. Kumar. Singh was officially crowned in the Golden Temple in the holy city of Amritsar as King of the Sikh Kingdom of Punjab and Maharaja of the Sikh Khalsa Order.

Summit. Kumar. Singh announced the former Sikh Maharaja Dalip. Singh had turned his back on Sikhism in Fatja three years earlier, converted to Christianity in a heastrous manner, was a traitor to Sikh and excommunicated him from Sikhism. Since then, Summit. Kumar. Singh officially became the only legitimate chief of the Sikh religion in the Punjab region, sending people to various villages and towns in Punjab to proclaim the establishment of the Sikh kingdom in Punjab and to make the Sikhs defect from Britain and pledge their allegiance to themselves.

The news that Punjab had a Sikh Maharaja, defeated the British army, and established the Sikh Kingdom in the Sikh holy city soon spread throughout northern India and several states of Central India, and for a time rebels were surging and rebelling one after another.

Buckd, a sixty-year-old soldier who served in the army of the East India Company for forty years? Khan followed in Barelli, in the Bengal district, to launch an uprising.

Young Jhansi queen Lakshmi. Bayi, in the area of Zhanxi, also launched a popular uprising and responded vigorously.

Kunwal? Singh and his brother Ammar? Singh led a local peasant uprising in Bihar, in the Bengal region.

Tandia? Toby also led a detachment and rebelled in the area around Gwalior and Kota, attacking the British.

What about that? Sahib also led an armed uprising of soldiers in Kanpur, calling himself Peshwa of Maratha, and occasionally led attacks on British troops stationed in Lucknow.

However, at this time, these rebel armies will be Muhammad of Delhi? Bahadur? Sand? Seen as the leader of the rebels throughout India, Gov responded to Delhi's resistance to the British.
