Hinduism, which originated in Harappa's doctrine of reincarnation and the immortality of the soul, resurfaced in the late Vedic era and became a deeper and fundamental part of Hinduism.

It should be noted that Hinduism is not Buddhism, and it is two completely different teachings from Buddhism, which preaches "equality of all beings", and Hinduism preaches the caste system.

The Indian caste system, also known as the varna system, was formed in the later Vedic era. It was the most typical and rigid hierarchy in the ancient world.

The four levels have strict rules in terms of status, rights, occupations, obligations, etc.:

The first estate Brahmins were mainly monk-nobles with privileges of interpreting religious scriptures and worshipping gods.

The second estate, the Kshatriyas, were the military aristocracy and the administrative aristocracy. They have the privilege of collecting all kinds of taxes.

The third estate, the Vaishyas, was the class of Aryan free commoners. They were engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, etc., and had no privileges in politics, and had to provide for the first two ranks in the form of alms and taxes.

The fourth class of Shudras were overwhelmingly subjugated, non-Aryan people who practiced farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, and occupations that were considered lowly at the time.

This caste system is centered around the Brahmins and divides into a number of occupation-based endogamous groups, known as castes.

Within these sub-castes, they are divided into many settlement castes according to the settlements in which they live, and these settlement castes are finally divided into clans that practice different forms of exogamy;

In this way, they are interlinked and integrated into a social system that is scattered throughout India.

With such a strict caste hierarchy, once you are classified as an inferior caste, you will be inferior for generations, which will inevitably lead to all kinds of sharp social contradictions and suppress the development of India.

When the navy left India, Qin Mu clearly instructed that in order to protect Hinduism, it was best to let him flourish in India.

The Mughal dynasty that now embraced Islam. An army of more than 100,000 people, led by Prince Aurangzeb, was waging a major campaign against the small Hindu states in the central and southern regions.

If Aurangzeb completely conquered the small countries in the central and southern regions, Wu Ning would be contrary to Qin Mu's intentions, and Hai Rufeng would take this matter as the first priority.

He took four huge treasure ships, forty clippers, and set sail for Cuttak in the middle of India's east coast.

The reason why Hai Rufeng preferred Cutak was because it was now under the control of the Dutch, and because it was close to the war zone where the Mughals were at war with the small states in the south-central region.

What's more, near Cuttak, there is a temple of the sun.

This sun temple was built during the Southern Song Dynasty. It is in the form of a chariot of the chic sun god Suriya, with 12 pairs of huge stone wheels and 7 stone horses pulling the chariot. The carvings in the temple are exquisite and delicate, and the shapes are vivid. It is considered a holy place by Hindu devotees.

As long as the temple of the sun was kept from being destroyed by the Mughal army, it was easy to win the goodwill and trust of the entire Hindu religion and pave the way for future operations in India.

The captain of an armed Dutch merchant ship, just out of the port of Barradib at the mouth of the Mohanadi River, was dressed in a crisp black gown with white lace embroidered on the collar. He wears a knight's sword at his waist and white gloves on his hands.

"Krona! If you hear me, take out my binoculars. Baron Eiffel shouted as he looked out at the sea to the east.

in the cabin. A blonde teenager trotted out with a monocular, and Baron Eiffel pulled open the binoculars and looked east. There was a black cloud there, something weird.

"Oh God!" Baron Eiffel exclaimed, "That's not a black cloud. It's not a black cloud, it's a battleship, oh God, how is this possible, how can there be such a huge ship"

Baron Eiffel put down the binoculars, wiped his eyes, and quickly raised the binoculars to take a closer look, yes, it was indeed a ship.

The black sails, the black hull, the black qiē are all black, the black is deep, the black is cold, full of mystery, these are not the most important, the important thing is how it is possible to have such a big ship, how is it possible

Before coming to India, Baron Eiffel had seen the British Sea King, the largest ship in Europe, but compared to the few black behemoths in front of him, the Sea King was like a child's toy

Dutch sailors and mercenaries on armed merchant ships looked eagerly and talked about it.

"God, that's the warship of the Qin Empire."

"That's right, I've also heard that only the Qin Empire has such a huge warship."

"He is black, there is no doubt about it, only the warships of the Qin Empire are painted black, they are devils, they are devils"

First mate Ulysses said anxiously: "Your Excellency, shall we go back to the port of Barradib to report the news, or should we go south to avoid the warships of the Qin army?" ”

Baron Eiffel was a knight, at least once was.

He immediately decided: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, turn the rudder and report back to Port ElBaradeib, hurry!" ”

Baron Eiffel firmly ordered, and the armed merchant ships were suddenly in chaos, turning the sails, turning the helm, and manipulating the cannons

When they had turned around, Baron Eiffel exclaimed in surprise that the black battleship had come so quickly.

He expected that such a behemoth must have moved slowly, and he never expected that the behemoth would sail much faster than he expected, perhaps even faster than his armed merchant ships.

The amazingly huge fleet of five miles, four miles, and three miles is still approaching, and as the distance between the two sides gets closer and closer, the black giant ship is as tall as a mountain, and its huge figure makes people feel more and more suffocated.

Baron Eiffel was a brave knight, at least once, and he was always proud of it.

But looking at the mountain-like giant ship gradually pressing, even if it was two or three miles away, he still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his hands trembled, and his right hand almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The first mate, Ulysses, was yelling hysterically, their armed merchant ships were full of cargo, the draft was very deep, and the speed was greatly affected, and seeing the huge fleet of the Qin Empire behind him getting closer and closer, Ulysses's roar couldn't help but become fierce.

At this moment, what surprised Efernan even more was that on one of the four huge warships of the Qin State, several huge flying birds flew up one after another, and after circling in the air for a while, they flew towards them

"Oh God, that's a flying man, that's a flying man, I heard they can breathe fire, they will blow up all the ships"

"Virgin Mary, save us!"

“”

Seeing the mercenaries and sailors on board who had heard some legends on the ship, they even bumped into Baron Eifel in a panic and knocked his top hat into the sea.

The big birds soon approached, and they could already see that there was indeed a person under the huge wings, and there was a faint sound of their wanton strange screams.

Baron Eiffel snatched a gun and aimed at a descending "birdman". A gunshot rang out, and the frightened "birdman" in the sky hurriedly pulled up and screamed.

Although Baron Eiffel could not understand the language of the Qin Empire, he was sure that the "birdman" in the sky must be scolding.

Immediately, the huge wings adjusted their angles, formed a ninety-degree angle with their course, and began to dive down.

"Shoot, shoot, they're afraid of bullets, shoot fast, don't let them get close," shouted Baron Eiffel as he reloaded.

The mercenaries of the armed merchant ships shot one after another according to the order, but they were all using smoothbore guns, and the range was limited, and the flying men with huge wings were still two hundred paces away, and the range of the smoothbore guns could not reach such a distance at all, and the elevation angle of the guns was not enough.

The gunfire and smoke on the ship were incessant, but it was useless to the flying men, and when the two sides were almost a hundred and fifty paces, suddenly six dazzling flames erupted from under the flying men, and then whistled towards their ship.

They were not natives who had never seen the world, and knew that this was not a good thing, so they threw themselves down under the side of the ship, saying that it was too late, and that it was too fast, and six flames came in an instant, four of which shot into the sea, and two of which pierced the bow of the ship fiercely.

Rumble! Rumble!

There were two deafening loud noises in succession, and before Baron Eiffel could see anything clearly, he was thrown up with great force, and in the air, he finally saw a huge fireball rising from the bow of the ship, and the whole bow of the ship was suddenly lifted out of the sea as if by a giant hand, and the deck was torn apart and scattered in all directions
