"Spartan warrior" is synonymous with warriors in the eyes of Westerners. Ali Gaboni went on to say: "Sikh warriors live together before they get married in order to train military skills, so I think we can use Sikh fighters are here to deal with Lin Yuan's troops."

George Curzon smiled and said, "Mr. Ali Gaboni, your idea is really good, but can you explain in detail how we use Sikh fighters to deal with Lin Yuan's troops?"

Ali Gaboni said: "In the history of the Sikhs, there have been many battles with Indian dynasties, native states or Muslims, and they have accumulated a lot of hatred. These hatreds can be used by us. In these battles , The Sikhs slowly developed a heroic and tenacious national character, which increased our chances of using them to fight against Lin Yuan."

George Curzon nodded and said, "The idea of ​​using historical enmity is very good, but how should it be done? Who will do it?"

Ali Gaboni said with a smile: "I hope to let Mr. Tanzambique go. Mr. Tanzambique and Sikhs should be more familiar."

Tanzambique was just about to seize the opportunity to express himself, and when he heard Aligaboni's words, he readily agreed. George Curzon was very happy, and the three discussed the specific content of the action, and Tanzambique set off immediately.

The capital of Punjab is Amritsar. This city is very rich because of its superior geographical location. There are five large rivers in its territory, known as the "Land of Five Rivers", so it is rich in water resources; its north It is the towering Himalayas. The warm and humid air blown by the Indian Ocean monsoon is blocked by the mountains, and it turns into rain and falls on Punjab, turning this place into a land of fish and rice on the Indian subcontinent.

Amritsar is not only the capital of Punjab, but also the holy city of Sikhism. There is a golden temple in the city, and the whole building is gilded, which is very spectacular.

When Tanzambique came to Amritsar, it first stayed in the British Provincial Governor’s Mansion. There used to be a dynasty established by the Sikhs, but the invading British destroyed it. The British colonial government was established here, and the provincial government was set up. Governor.

Tanzambique then asked the attendants to invite the elders of the "Sikh community". Great reputation.

The British have colonized the Sikhs for more than 70 years, so the Sikh community does not have a good impression of the British. They did not speak after sitting face to face with Tanzambique. It was Tanzambique who spoke first. He smiled and said, "Respected elders, I wonder if you want to reform your teachings?"

The elders were angry when they heard this. It turned out that while the British were carrying out political and economic aggression, they also did not lag behind in cultural aggression. They established Christian churches in various colonies and used various means to make the people of the colonies Believe in Christianity. There were many Christian churches in China during the Qing Dynasty. After Lin Yuan came to power, although the religious freedom decree was promulgated, the official thinking in China was atheism, so there were many fewer churches.

The Sikh elders thought that Tanzambique was going to force them to change their beliefs and believe in Christianity, so they showed anger. Tanzambique also sensed what the elders were thinking, and hurriedly said cheerfully: "Elders, if you want You are not the ones who changed the doctrine, but the Chinese!"

The elders were surprised for a while, and said one after another: "The Chinese are so far away from us, how could they come to force us to change the teachings?"

Tanzambique laughed and said: "Lin Yuan has carried out religious reforms in Calcutta and Madras, and Hinduism was forced to abolish the caste system. Now Lin Yuan's troops are in Peshawar, which is very close to you. I believe you have been The day of forced reform is coming soon.”

The oldest elder said at this time: "The Hindu caste system is harmful and should indeed be abolished." The other elders nodded in agreement.

Seeing that these elders were not intimidated, Tanzambique hurriedly changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Do you know? Lin Yuan intends to ban Sikhism!"

The oldest elder frowned when he heard this, and said angrily: "Mr. Tanzambique, you can't just talk about it. After Mr. Lin Yuan captured Southeast Asia, he didn't make the Muslims in those places give up their faith. After going to Myanmar, the Buddhists in Myanmar did not give up their beliefs, so why did he ban our Sikhism?"

Tanzambique laughed loudly and said, "Do you know what China's official ideology is? It's atheism! In that case, how could Lin Yuan allow the existence of gods? The reason why he didn't dare to ban Buddhism or Islam is because There are too many believers, and if it is banned, it will offend the public. Who made you Sikhs have a small number of believers, Lin Yuan will definitely take you!"

When the elders heard Tanzambique's words, their faces showed doubts. Tanzambique continued: "Lin Yuan's troops have now entered Peshawar, and Peshawar is under the Muslim world. You should know that? Muslims and You Sikhs have historical grievances, I won’t go into details about the specific grievances, I believe you know better than me.”

"We received a secret report saying that in order to appease the Aijahed Patriarch of Peshawar, Lin Yuan had agreed to sell them a large amount of weapons and equipment, and recruited many local recruits. These recruits are all Muslims. Once they enter Your Sikh land will surely seek revenge on you."

Although Tanzambique is talking nonsense, the elders still believe it, because every sentence of Tanzambique speaks to the hearts of the elders. There are indeed many conflicts between Muslims and Sikhs in history. Yes, the elders are of course worried about Muslims coming to seek revenge.

Tanzambique watched his words and saw that the elders believed his words, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Elders, I hope you Sikhs can cooperate with us to resist the Chinese together, how about it?"

The elders discussed for a while, and the oldest elder said: "Okay, we are willing to cooperate with the United Kingdom, but we have one condition. If we don't agree, then the cooperation matter will be avoided!"

Tanzambique asked with a smile: "What conditions do you have?"

The elder said: "Give us Sikhism a higher status after resisting the Chinese."

Tanzambique fully agreed, and the elders immediately called on the Sikhs to join the British army. At this time, there were already some Sikhs in the British army, so the newly recruited Sikhs were trained very quickly. , several Sikh troops were established.
