China in the original time and space, after the change, the heat energy of going abroad burned half of China's sky. At that time, as long as you talk about going abroad, you don't distinguish between countries, the United States, Japan, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, ,...... Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, famous schools (Qingbei Ke, etc.) college students poured out, and the few who went out from other schools were not because they were unwilling to go out, but because there were few channels to go abroad, and even in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, there were movies, singing, drama, dancing, table tennis, violin, painting, and ......, almost all that could be thought of poured out.

The 'passion' at that time was simply unstoppable.

This was not only because of the huge wealth gap between China and the rest of the world at that time, but also because of the social environment at that time.

Of course, people who want to go abroad are people who are not satisfied with the status quo, you can say that they are people with ideals, they hope that by working abroad, they can change their poor lives, and some even smuggle out illegally. At that time, the whole society was full of longing for Western countries, believing that the moon abroad should be rounder than at home.

Chen Ming could not completely eradicate poverty, he did not even eliminate poverty in China, let alone poverty in foreign countries. Many foreigners who come to Chinese, after arriving there, they find that reality and dreams are so far away, their lives are very difficult, and everything seems to be as poor as before.

Chen Ming didn't care about this, and he was helpless. He was initially pleased with China's existing super attractiveness, but now he is used to it.

Among the vassal states around Chen Han, why is China so attractive? It depends on the problems within Japan, Siam, Ladakh, Sikh, and Gurkha.

With the exception of Japan, serfdom existed in several other countries, which was very different from slavery in the usual sense, which covered a large part of the population, and the latter specifically referred to the slave trade.

Ladakh, Gurkha, Sikh and other countries have long been influenced by Hinduism, where the Sikhs are very advanced, and Sikhism is resolutely opposed to the caste system, but the Gurkha established the caste system as early as 1,400 years ago, and the Tibetan Buddhist Tantra does not have the great flicker of Han Buddhism's 'equality of all beings'. In Tibet, although there is no obvious caste system and strict hierarchy as in India, the ruled, that is, the vast serf class, is roughly divided into more than a dozen different social statuses, some of which have obvious Indian caste system colors, for example, Weizang and other places generally regard the local blacksmiths, butchers, and bamboo men (except Lhasa) as recognized lower castes, and goldsmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, potters, burial men, leather givers, boatmen, and fishermen are also regarded as lower castes, usually called low-born castes, with whom intermarriage is limited to the same untouchables, i.e. blacksmiths, butchers, etc.

In places like Ladakh, young people naturally yearn for China. Because no one who has knowledge wants to be born inferior to others. This is just like the 'freedom' that many Chinese wanted to go to the West after the reopening. The latter has been suppressed for too long, coupled with the fact that old ideas have been beaten and new ideas have not appeared for a long time, and the huge stimulus brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor ......, and the same is true of Ladakh now. The teachers, doctors, instructors, and advisors sent by Chen Han to support Ladakh were all channels for spreading ideas.

And at the time when the conscription began in Ladakh with great fanfare, northwest India, the northern border of the Marathas. The rumbling of artillery constantly came from the front line. It has been eight days since the war began.

Ten days earlier, the Ladakh army, with the cooperation of the Sikh army, had gnawed Jalandhar. The vanguard then pounced on Ludhiana, and on the same day launched an artillery bombardment of the Marathas in the city.

Ladakh's military strength is relatively weak, as a small country of more than 2 million people, his entire army is only about 30,000 people, and the maximum caliber of the hexagonal artillery of the infantry brigade is only 60mm, and there is no heavy artillery above 100mm here. And whether it is material reserves or combat endurance, their ratio can be said to be a notch weaker than that of friendly forces, all because of the poor transportation conditions there.

But this kind of armament still has a certain advantage over the Maratha army. Because Ludhiana's prince is only a very inconspicuous one of the Maratha princes, the Marathas led by Hyderabad, their army has expanded to 500,000 over the years, and this 500,000 refers to the entire Maratha army, and the passerby prince in front of him is only one of the countless Maratha princes, or a very inconspicuous one, the army in his hands does not even have 10,000 people, and it is seriously lagging behind in armaments, more funds have been used to repair fortresses, and many people still hold old-fashioned muskets, smoothbore guns. The remnants of the Maharaja's defeated army were incorporated into the Ludhiana army, but only allowed Ludhiana's resistance to last a few more days.

As the boss and close ally of the Marathas, the British hurriedly mobilized a large number of military supplies to Hyderabad after receiving the news that Ladakh, Gurkha, Sikh, Mysore and other countries had declared war on the Marathas, but it took time. In order to give confidence to the Marathas, the British colonial government in India drew hundreds of mid-level and junior officers and sergeant majors to the Maratha army as quickly as possible. They already had a large number of military advisers and instructors in the Maratha Army.

The entire Maratha Empire has an army of 500,000, which is a very powerful military force, but they are surrounded by enemies on many sides, so they have to divide their troops in all directions, and at the same time, their military supplies also need to be dispersed in all directions, which not only greatly disperses the strength of the Marathas, but more importantly, brings a lot of trouble to the Marathas.

You know, the Maratha Empire is essentially just a grand alliance, and the monarch is only a nominal leader. Peshwa has also gradually become nominal in name, and this vast empire is in fact a state dominated by many local powers. As the Maratha Empire moved from a centralized state to a state governed by multiple local heads of state, it was also rapidly declining.

Now that the Maratha Empire is under enemy on all sides, naturally, as long as the four sides are fighting, it is the real power in the Maratha Empire, but this involves a material distribution. The money and arms that the British gave were the kind of money that every Indian prince desperately needed, so that they would not spit on others. And the competition with each other immediately turned Hyderabad into a pot of boiling porridge.

The war is still going on, and the Marathas themselves are in chaos. And the British also deliberately connived at this chaos. Because London knows very well why the Gurkhas, Sikhs, Ladakhs, Mysores suddenly declared war and launched war against the Marathas? That's because the Chinese behind them are not satisfied with the British.

In the current war between the East and the West, the traces of the involvement of the British are too heavy and too obvious.

However, the East-West War has not been fought until now, and the form is not clear at all, the war situation on the Russian battlefield has not improved at all, and China is constantly hoarding troops and military supplies at Lake Balkhash, and the whole of China is also constantly in a state of violence. And as far as the British know, Chen Han is already preparing to issue war bonds. This is the first time in 20 years since China's fiscal reform. The Chinese are already bursting into their own power. In this case, the British really do not have the confidence to win against China, so throwing the Marathas out and venting their anger to the Chinese is also acceptable to London. Although this will make the interests of the British greatly reduced.

The Marathas are allies of the United Kingdom, and the vast market of 80 million people in the Marathas is fully open to the United Kingdom, and the British are able to dump nearly 10 million pounds of goods into the Maratha every year, and absorb millions of pounds of benefits from the Maratas. And if the Maratha Empire suffered heavy losses, the interests of the British would inevitably suffer.

It's just that there is a priority, although Britain's interests in the Maratha Empire are very large, but in order to appease China when necessary, it must be given up when it should be abandoned.

In fact, after the establishment of the country by Chen Han and the rapid development of Sino-British trade, many of the benefits that China received from the British were 'compensation' that the British had to take after provoking the Chinese.

This was the case with Chen Han's entry into India, before Chen Han's entry into the central and western regions of North America, and now with the British abandoning the interests of the Maratha Empire.

The British moved their hearts again and again, and then they were knocked on the head again and again, and they had to apologize after being beaten, which was also shaking.

Hundreds of British junior officers and sergeant majors have been able to put themselves in the eyes of most of Maratha's elite troops. Although for many of these officers, the Marathas were a completely alien land, where it was difficult for them to survive even on their own, if they lost their translations. But in the eyes of the Marathas, they are noble.

The caste system of all evils has a relatively obvious criterion for distinguishing between the shades of skin and the lighter the skin, the more noble the person is, although not necessarily accurate. And these Brits, all of them are standard white.

George Blair was one such person, he could even speak a few words of Bengali, but for Marata, even though the two languages belonged to the same geographical region, George did not understand a single word.

The diversity of indigenous languages in the Indian states is a major obstacle to India's development and unity, and is the most explicit evidence that India is a geographical term and not a country. And there is no official language in India, although the coverage area of Hindi is not small, but it is also like that.

For example, people from the Yellow River Valley, Su, Shaanxi, Jin Province, and Central Plains in northern China go to work in Qilu or Jinmen, which are also in the Yellow River Valley, and there will be no barriers to language exchange in work and life with the locals. Because it's just a matter of dialect accent, adjust it and adapt it to solve it. People from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo will not have any trouble working in the Wu-speaking areas of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because speaking Mandarin there can also meet the needs of work and life. Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo people go to Guangdong to work, there is no problem, look at the Hong Kong Island clerks have learned to speak so-so Mandarin in order to do business, you know that in Guangdong, Mandarin has been popularized among Guangdong locals, only the elderly, may only speak Cantonese. This kind of thing would have been an 'official dialect' in ancient China, but it would not have happened in India at this time, even in India in the 21st century.

There are three or four states or provinces in India, and the economy is relatively good. Modi's home state of Gujarat is located on the central coast of India. Speaks Gujarati. The state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located, is located on the south-central coast and speaks the Maratha language. Maharashtra and Gujarat are next to each other, and the two countries were originally in the same state, Mumbai, and have a certain linguistic commonality. These two analogies are China's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

Uttar Pradesh in northern India, where the capital Delhi and New Delhi are located, is also a developed region. Analogy to China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, speaking Hindi. And the easternmost state of Bengal is not to mention. Therefore, Bengali and Maratha are incompatible.

The cultural quality of the Maratha soldiers was generally low, and it would be nonsense to ask them to learn a foreign language in this case. More British advisers are translators who take them wherever they go, and even when they go to the toilet, they have to wait at the door.

George is such a person. Without a counterattack, he didn't even know where his unit was in the hellish place of Ludhiana.

When George Blair walked with the interpreter for ten minutes to the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the 2nd Army in Delhi, the overall atmosphere in the camp was very relaxed, because the Chinese had the troops of Ludhiana and Jalandar on the front line resisting, and they were at most reserve.

The territory of the Indian princes is large and small, but it is generally very small, especially in prosperous and prosperous places, it is normal for a county or even smaller to have a territory, and a city and a region are local tyrants. For example, those powerful factions in the Maratha Empire, their core area is at most two or three prefectures in Chen Han's native area.

The Deccan [south-central part of India] and Hindustan [Madhya Pradesh] were the two main centers of the Maratha Empire, while Gujarat, Benderkhand, and Odisha were the three secondary centers of the Maratha Empire. At the same time, they are the five main pillars of power of the Matara Empire.

The enemies of the Marathas in the northwest direction are Sikh and Ladakh, Gujarat mainly deals with Sikhs, although they are directly bordered by Sikhs? The independence and expansion of the Sikh kingdom caused heavy losses to the Indian maharajas there, and many of the Brahmin nobles of the previous year disappeared into the flames of war. The British didn't even need to greet the maharaja there, and the Marathas would fight to the death against the invading Sikh army.

And the small princes of Jalandhar and Ludhiana, located in the region north of Madhya Pradesh, are completely vassals of Delhi, and Delhi must protect their interests. So the Second Army of Delhi came here. But they don't need to rush forward right away. It wasn't until George went to the headquarters and got the orders from above...... 21010
