Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1250 Diamond Bay Massacre ([-])

On the current Bangladesh battlefield, no one actually has the ability to command a battle of more than [-] people.

No Du Feng, no Clew, no Watson, no Jafar.

In fact, they only have the ability to command 5000 people to fight. To put it bluntly, they are a group of "brigadier commanders" and "regiment commanders" of land warfare, and they fight battles of tens of thousands of people here.

That's why there was a war drama in which Clive and Siraj fought with 6 to [-] people and dozens of people died on both sides.

That's why at this time, the order of the Dashun Army's staff department still basically allows each of the three or five battalions to fight independently.

However, due to the special characteristics of the tactics of the Dashun Army after the reform, the battlefield has already shown a one-sided situation.

The command to bring back the spoils means slaughter on the battlefield.

And this is different from "the prisoner will be buried after all".

The Dashun regular cavalry, who had completed the task of outflanking Jafar's cavalry, began to line up on the battlefield.

In view of the direction of the Dashun military reform, it is based on the Northwest against the Pan-Mongolized cavalry.

Therefore, those small landlords and warriors in the Liangjia sub-system who are Qingqi and scouting cavalry have always been full of confidence in one-on-one confrontation on the horse.

But these were originally refugees or wanderers trying to survive in Nanyang. They may have never ridden a horse before joining the army.Although the training was rigorous, Dashun's tactical system still allowed them to maintain a dense formation and charge.

Its purpose is not only to fight against any form of old-fashioned nomadic cavalry that has a one-on-one advantage in melee, to avoid the exposure of one's own cavalry's personal flanks, but also to prevent one's own cavalry from pairing with those who can almost ride horses on the opposite side A duel immediately.

Dashun called these regular cavalry "a wall". In fact, Dashun knew very well that this was not a wall tactic used by the rebels in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, but it didn't prevent it from being called that.

The Dashun regular cavalry of the three battalions lined up in company formation, and following the officer's order, the trumpeter blew a particularly long long note.

The cavalry in the first line and the second line began to move forward slowly, until after a certain distance, the cavalry in the third line followed behind.

After jogging for about a hundred steps, the second bugle sounded, and the sound became slightly shorter.

The pace of the whole army has changed from a slow walk at the beginning to a double-speed trot, but this is still not a run, but a fast trot of the horses.

At this time, the formation is of course neat and complete. Every cavalryman is surrounded by his own comrades-in-arms, which makes them feel very at ease. They don't have to worry about enemies appearing on their sides or on the side where they use their hands very much.

After walking fast like this for a while, the third bugle sounded, and the speed of the cavalry accelerated to about three times that of the slow pace at the beginning.

After countless times of training and breaking down movements, until now, the cavalry line has been flat.

Until about 150 steps away from the Bengal cavalry on the opposite side, the bugle sounded again.

The first-line cavalry finally let the horse "run".Although the speed of marching was much faster than that of infantry before, in the tactical drills, it is still not called running, but the triple speed of cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry began to really run.

After only a few tens of steps, the horses became excited and began to accelerate unconsciously, but the generally sober cavalry still controlled the overall steps and formation.

Part of the Bangladeshi cavalry on the opposite side also organized a counterattack, but it was obviously too late.

At this time, the trumpeter of the Dashun Army blew the loud and rapid bugle sound, and the first-line cavalry took advantage of the speed just now to increase the speed of the horses and released the final restraint on the horses.

All the horses went crazy, this was not going to charge the infantry's phalanx, so the cavalry didn't go that crazy, but raised their cavalry swords slightly upwards, and rumbled into the chaotic Bengal cavalry. .

Taking advantage of the speed of the horses, the cavalrymen on the front line only held their cavalry swords, and occasionally made some tactical moves, such as leaning forward, but the direction of the cavalry swords was still fixed, relying on the impact of the horses, they plunged into the body of the opposite Bengal cavalry .

Then he didn't take the initiative to draw the sword like the infantry, but borrowed the horse's charging speed to pull the sword back from the opponent's body.

The Bengal cavalry, who were already almost exhausted, had no power to resist in the face of this wave of shock from Dashun.

The formation was completely dispersed, the previous attack was completely ineffective, and the psychological shadow caused by the initial wave of stragglers and artillery volleys made them completely give up the last bit of energy to continue fighting.

The scattered cavalry began to flee backwards, which left a very deep impression on Dashun's cavalry: it was not easy to catch.

The Dashun cavalry who had dispersed the Bengal cavalry turned their horses around and began to pursue freely in platoon units.

More cavalrymen stared at the very conspicuous group of Bengal cavalrymen.Especially some scouts who had been shrunk in the middle of the phalanx on the flanks just now. They didn't recognize Jafar, but they could keenly smell the most valuable spoils on the battlefield.

Among the orders before and during the battle, there was only the sentence "return the spoils to privates", and there was no supplement such as "rewards for catching Jafar, Clive, Kut, etc.".

This is clear enough for these scouts. The governor does not want prisoners, especially those high-ranking officers.

Du Feng's meaning was still very clear.

It is necessary to kill people and stand up.

And now that France has already left the field, all the people in the UK who know India best will be slaughtered, leaving no one behind, so as to avoid future troubles.

It is Du Feng's own idea to kill people to build prestige, build a temple in the capital and display martial arts.

The latter, in fact, is a strategic guidance endorsed by the Privy Council-after capturing the enemy, screen all British who can speak English, Urdu, Bengali, Persian, or understand Sanskrit at the same time, including the captured Among the French, the "literate class of the Anglo-French East India Company" who were proficient in multiple languages ​​were identified.

All gathered together and executed in secret.

The specific method is to engage in a shipwreck.

This is something that is endorsed by the official text of the Privy Council's seal, so Du Feng will naturally choose to carry it out faithfully.As for the specific method, the Privy Council only provided one suggestion, to have a shipwreck.But Du Feng felt that the screening was too troublesome, so it was better to kill more people on the battlefield to save time for the screening.

Of course, this kind of secret order of the Privy Council for guidance cannot be issued to the ears of every soldier.Also, they don't understand.

Du Feng, on the other hand, cleverly communicated this order to the grassroots in his own way:
Because the British came to India to make a fortune, and the literate class in the UK must at least have graduated from a seminary or university.

And most of the company's employees went out to sea when they were fourteen or fifteen years old, and came here to try their luck and make a fortune.They can only be ordinary employees, at most they are company accountants and the like.

The Privy Council had to identify and execute people in secret, and if they existed, they must be military officers, or at least people with status.Otherwise, it is impossible for them to be proficient in English, Latin, Urdu, Persian, etc.Just like in North Korea and Japan, if you find some people who can understand Chinese and read the Four Books and Five Classics, they must be literate, at least at the samurai level.

Therefore, Du Feng cleverly transformed the order of the Privy Council into massacres and robberies on the battlefield, that is, a simple sentence of selfishness of spoils.

Because those soldiers who are rushing to rob will definitely focus on "taking care" of those officers, people with status, and people with different clothes.

A Bengali infantryman in rags, and a British officer in a flamboyant cap and cap probably with a pocket watch, if only one could be killed and what was on him as a trophy, which one would the cavalry choose to kill?

Obviously, Du Feng's order was very effective.

He cleverly transformed the orders of the Privy Council into orders that the soldiers at the bottom could fully understand and execute.

Therefore, those scout cavalry who are skilled in martial arts, relying on a more sensitive sense of robbery than regular cavalry and phalanx infantry on the chaotic battlefield, used the chaotic battlefield as their hunting ground and started hunting.

Several cavalry squads, relying on their sense of smell, locked on a group of people around Jafar.They could smell the strong smell of gold and jewels on them, and decided to bite them like hounds, day or night.

At this time, Jafar knew that he was doomed.

However, he did not regret that he chose to betray at the beginning, because the history and reality after the basic disintegration of the Mughal Empire told him that in this era of separatist regimes, he, who held all the elite cavalry in Bangladesh, either became a Jiedushi himself, or The whole family was killed by the new Jiedu envoy.

This is the law of the era of feudal separatism.

Even he himself doesn't think he is an "Indian traitor", because he feels that he only borrowed the power of the British. If the Chinese hadn't brought Siraj back, he would have planned to drive the British away first... …

That's the interesting thing about history.He was not completely broken by the British as in history, so he could comfort himself, deceive himself, say that he was just forced to helpless, curve to save Bangladesh and so on.

Dashun's dispatch of troops just prevented him from having a chance to prove himself... At least, at this time, he was justifying himself in his heart.

So, he really hated Dashun, not the British who caused all this.Because Dashun not only destroyed his power, but also completely ruined his chance to be whitewashed.

Beside Jafar, several British people who had been following him kept shouting loudly.

"Master Jiedushi! Retreat! Cross the Ganges River, come back is unknown. We still have a chance, don't hesitate!"

Jafar knew what the British were thinking in these words.Now, these British people can only stand with themselves, and only by working together with them and returning to their basics, can they delay their demise.

He looked beside him at Warren Hastings, a senior employee of the British Company, chief representative of the East India Company to the Jiedushi court in Bengal.

Perhaps it was the madness of despair, Jafar suddenly laughed and said mockingly: "Hastings, you shouldn't have learned Urdu, Sanskrit, and desperately understood our history before. You should learn the Chinese language first, Go learn their history and speculate on their actions."

"A fat piece of mutton, and there are two lions beside it. Before you drive away the other lion, you lion spends all your thoughts on how to cook the mutton to make it delicious, and keeps silently saying in your heart, the other lion I will not look at this piece of lamb..."

"You don't deserve this fat piece of mutton."

The ridiculed Hastings is a typical example of the screening and execution in the order of the Privy Council on Dashun's side.

The order of the Privy Council of Dashun is obviously the kind that would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Because Dashun is very clear that the difficulty of ruling India is not the problem between Dashun and India, but the problem between Dashun and Europe.

Do the British understand India?

do not understand.At least not at this time.

It's like the British don't understand China.

Dashun wanted to kill any cultural exchange carrier that might lead Europeans to understand India, that is, the "literate class" in the Privy Council massacre order.

Let Europe once again fall into the state of understanding India as Voltaire understood China.

People will always plan ahead with some things they have experienced or have done.

For example, Dashun really got involved in European politics before, and even participated in European coups to a certain extent.

Therefore, Dashun is very clear that the prerequisite for external forces to get involved is to understand each other.If you don't understand it, you will make a lot of jokes if you understand other countries according to your own political rules.

Therefore, in order to prevent external forces from interfering with India in the future and contacting India to threaten the rule of Dashun, at least for now, the Privy Council of Dashun is not India itself, but the group of Europeans who have practiced and who have really seen India. , Understand India's literate class, kill them all.

As long as they are killed, Europe's understanding of India will fall into the same state as if it understands China.

That is to say, for a long time, the conquest of India was transformed into a simple issue of Dashun and India, rather than a problem of Dashun and Europe.

To understand the culture, history, class, and social conditions of a country, books alone are not enough.

Besides, there are no books yet.

Only those who have really practiced and lived can figure it out.Only they can truly understand how to use four or two thousand catties of strength, with the smallest investment, to create the biggest trouble, and to make Dashun's rule and conquest frustrated.

But now, it is certain that there are no British people in the UK who really know about India, and they are all in India.

As long as they are identified and all of them are executed, within at least 50 years, Europe will return to the level of understanding that "India has gold-digging ants".

The reason why Warren Hastings is said to be a typical example of the screening and execution ordered by the Dashun Privy Council.

This is typical, not to say that he was the governor of India in history.

The governor of India is just an official position, which does not mean that he understands India.Maybe because of family power, maybe because of the faction between the two parties, maybe because of the cabinet conspiracy, it is possible to go to India to become the governor.

For example, Clever, it is obviously not a typical case of screening and execution in the order of Dashun Privy Council.

The reason why Clive is not typical and Hastings is typical is this:

He is a graduate of Westminster School, a standard intellectual.

Historically, Hastings formed the Oriental Society, began to understand the history of India in depth, and truly "compiled the colonies into a book that can be viewed".

He spent energy to understand India's class, land system, and religious conflicts, and keenly identified the breakthrough point of "divide and conquer".

He sent people to compile a large number of Hindu myths, grasped the social reality of India, and constructed a brand-new discourse system.

Moreover, this set of speech system has become a common method used by invaders from all over the world in later generations.

For example, the famous "Brahman and the Ganges" created such a narrative: the British are the guardians of Hinduism. They rescued Hinduism from Muslim tyranny and persecution, and all Brahmins should express their gratitude to their new masters. .

This set of things was used when Napoleon conquered Egypt, and when Japan invaded the entire East and Southeast Asia, and it is still used even in later generations.Even some Chinese in later generations are using this set of things to explain the Opium War...

Taking everything else out of consideration, and looking at colonial rule as a technology, I have to admit that this is the real master of colonization.

The real champion of Lifanology and the founder of Imperialism.

A master who truly integrates practice and chanting.

In addition to these theoretical and systematic things, he also established a Muslim school of scriptures in Calcutta, so that while attracting Hinduism, he found a way for a large number of upper Muslims to go up: study at the school of scriptures, you can become a lawyer, continue to maintain their class status.

Because, Hastings found, the Muslim peasants at the bottom were rebellious, but illiterate and uneducated, and they used Bengali; Capital, Persian.

So "the crux of the problem is to cut off the connection between the upper and lower classes, so that they cannot realize their existence as a whole. To maintain the privileges and opportunities for advancement of the middle and upper classes of Muslims, to ensure that they will not oppose the company with those farmers at the bottom." ".

At the same time, after winning over the middle and upper classes of the Muslim religion, they decisively proposed the method of "Hinduism governing Hinduism by law, and Green religion governing Green religionists by law."

And during his tenure as governor, a reward method was formulated: anyone who made contributions to linguistics, history, Sanskrit dictionaries, and Persian dictionaries will be rewarded with 7200 acres of plantation land income.

This type is not his alone.

The Privy Council of Dashun didn't know about the existence of Hastings at all, and the massacre order of the Privy Council was aimed at all similar people.

Because of a very simple reason.

People's correct thinking does not fall from the sky, but is obtained through practice.

It is impossible for a man in London, or a man sitting in a French café salon, to understand a distant and complex country in this age of poor information.

British colonial history did not start with India.

However, those who can be good colonial officials in the Americas cannot be officials in the Eastern colonies.

Because, simply do not understand.

For example, what are the problems faced by a person who is the governor of Barbados?

Sugar merchants, smugglers, slaves, slave owners.

This is certainly a colonial experience, but is this set of colonial experience useful in the East?

India is a true intellectual and imperial university.

Only after "graduating" from this school can we really never set the sun and understand Egypt, Turkey, India, and Persia.

If you can't graduate from this school, then there will never be a sun that never sets, and you can only play the colonial rule of slavery on both sides of the Atlantic.

For Dashun, reforming the Southwest to return to the natives is a "preparatory class" for Nanyang.

Ceylon is India's "preparatory class".

Kanto is the "preparatory class" for the Southern Ocean and the west coast of North America.

It is precisely because people's correct ideas cannot fall from the sky, so the Privy Council of Dashun issued a massacre order, killing all those who could understand Europe's understanding of India to the level, land system, religious contradictions, and caste system. Kill them, so that within 50 years, or even 100 years, they can maintain the level of understanding at the level of "the legend of gold digging ants".

It is impossible for shareholders sitting in London to understand India without practice.And the only group of people who could have a huge impact on Dashun's rule in India could and could only be the European literate class in India at this time.

It is impossible for ordinary employees to graduate from Westminster College.Similarly, it is impossible for a graduate of Westminster College to be an ordinary employee.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Privy Council, it is not difficult to identify them.Create a shipwreck, sink those people in France, Portugal, and Denmark together, and solve it.

Dashun is not worried about people like Clive at all, because such people are the same in North America and the Caribbean.But the same set of things can be applied everywhere, so this set of things will definitely not understand the eastern countries.

To deal with Clever, Dashun has some generals and some officers.

So he is not typical.

For a long time, Osman would not be the sick man of West Asia.

Then, after the "University of Science and Fanology" in India is solved by Dashun, Europe will be completely trapped in the footsteps of colonial rule. Their practical knowledge will only allow them to understand the aboriginal cultures of North America and the Caribbean. Blank slate, domination of regions lacking historical depth.

Without the opportunity to practice here, the east of the Cape of Good Hope has nothing to do with them.

　It should be possible to say this: the group of people and their experiences who have obtained diplomas in the "colonial practice universities" in the Americas and the Caribbean are completely useless in Persia, India, and Egypt.Probably similar to asking an obstetrician to treat an anterior fissure.
