Ali Gaboni smiled and said, "How can you think like this? Our British Empire has encountered some setbacks on the battlefield, but this does not mean that we have failed. We still have a chance."

Another think tank said on the side: "My lord, it's not that we don't have confidence, but that the gap between us and the Chinese is too big. You see, our fleet in the port of Helsinki was defeated by the Chinese, and it was also defeated by the Chinese in Sweden and Finland." Suffering failures, as well as Burma and Calcutta in India, the Chinese are victorious..."

Ali Gaboni laughed loudly and said, "Do you think the Chinese will win the final victory?"

The think tank looked dark, his expression was obviously saying "yes", but he didn't have the courage to say "yes", Ali Gaboni said with a leisurely smile: "Don't worry, the Chinese want to win in India is not so simple."

Confusion flashed in the eyes of the think tank, and he said: "The Chinese have carried out various reforms in Calcutta. I heard that even the teachings of Hinduism have been changed. During our rule, many people wanted to reform Hinduism, but they all failed. , but Lin Yuan succeeded in one attempt."

The think tank is right. During the era of British rule in Indian history, some Indians did reform Hinduism. These reforms are also well-known in Indian history, including the abolition of the caste system, the promotion of equality between men and women, and the abolition of some inconsistencies in Hinduism. The bad habits of the development of the times and so on.

However, all of these reforms ended in failure. The fundamental reason is that they did not have a strong and powerful leadership core, and they did not have a force completely obeying their own orders. When their reforms touched the interests of those with vested interests, the vested interests Interested parties will obstruct its reform in every possible way.

The reform carried out by Lin Yuan was successful, because Lin Yuan had an extremely powerful army in his hands, which ensured that Lin Yuan's orders could be fully implemented. Yibu was dealt with by Lin Yuan with iron and blood methods.

The think tank went on to say: "Lin Yuan also abolished the original land system in the countryside around Calcutta, and established a brand-new land system, and the social and economic level has also been greatly improved."

Ali Gaboni smiled lightly and said, "These are Lin Yuan's achievements, but also Lin Yuan's weaknesses."

All the think tanks were taken aback, and asked one after another: "Is this Lin Yuan's weakness? What do you mean?"

Ali Gaboni smiled mysteriously and said, "You will find out after a while."

After Ali Gaboni finished speaking, he turned his head away and stopped talking. Everyone in the car was silent for a while, and no one spoke. The team was traveling on the vast Deccan Plateau. Yellow sand, patches of green forest flashed from time to time in the yellow sand.

The yellow sand gradually faded away, and a golden wheat field appeared. Indian farmers in ragged clothes appeared in the wheat field, as well as houses built with mud walls and thatched roofs. Pieces of low-rise buildings have appeared all over the place, and people's clothes are also decent.

A think tank said: "Report to the Governor, we have come to Bangalore."

Ali Gaboni nodded and said, "Let's go into the city, and we'll see Governor Cariola."

The convoy then drove into the city, and a few Indian soldiers came over at the intersection. They reached out to stop the convoy and asked, "Who are you?"

Ali Gaboni's subordinates replied: "We are the subordinates of the governor of Madras Ali Gaboni. Madras was occupied by the Chinese, so we withdrew."

The Indian soldiers did not directly let Ali Gaboni's convoy enter the city, but notified their superiors by phone. The news was reported layer by layer, and finally reported to the Governor of Carriola. Said: "Governor Cariola said that he will bring people to meet you soon."

Alligaponi's subordinates relayed the news to Alligapone, who nodded and began to wait. It wasn't long before he saw a large group of Indians walking away, surrounded by an Indian in a fine attire. Come over, the biggest feature of the gorgeously dressed Indian is "short and fat", his body is almost spherical.

Ali Gaboni got out of the car, walked up to the luxuriously dressed Indian, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Dear Governor Cariola, hello."

It turns out that the Governor of Cariola is an Indian, and the British appointed an Indian as the Governor. It sounds incredible, but in fact this is also a helpless move of the British.

India has never had a unified dynasty in history. In the vast Indian subcontinent, various states are dominant. These states are similar to the warlords in the troubled times of ancient China.

During the Indian national uprising from 1857 to 1859, many princes of the earth-states became the backbone of the resistance to British rule, including Queen Zhansi, who was written into the history textbooks of Chinese junior and senior high schools.

The Indian national uprising failed to overthrow the British rulers, but it allowed the British rulers to see the power of the Indian people, especially the power of the various states. The British had to change their attitudes and forms of rule towards each state.

Before the Indian national uprising, the British sent officials when they ruled the country. These officials relied on the strong British military power and regarded themselves as protectors. The wanton interference in the state's internal affairs not only made the Indian people hate the British to the bone, but the Indian princes also wished to "sleep their skins and eat their flesh."

Conflicts accumulated more and more, and finally broke out in 1857. The soldiers of the Indian Bengal Regiment rose up first, and the uprising spread to all parts of India. Asia dispatched troops, and even "blocked" the soldiers who went north to participate in the Second Opium War and attacked China. After spending countless pounds and lives, the uprising was finally suppressed.

The British saw the power of the Tubang princes, so they had no choice but to change their attitude from "conquering" to "wooing", so they appointed the Tubang princes as local governors. But they adopted an indifferent attitude towards being wooed, as long as they had land, wealth, and an army, it didn't matter whether they were puppets of the British or not.

Bangalore is located in the state of Karnatal. Kariola was originally the king of Karnatal, and later the British made him the governor of Karnatal.
