Become a feudal king from today - #1114 - Chapter 1125 Calcutta
“We surrender!”
The Homalin River flows from north to south.
On the east bank of the river, coalition soldiers wearing uniforms of different colors raised flags of the same color—white flags!
“Let them throw all their rifled guns into the river.”
The performance of the coalition soldiers fell into Shangyi’s eyes. After the guide translated the words of the coalition soldiers, Shangyi immediately issued the order.
For him, the caliber of these coalition rifles was different from their muskets, and it was useless to keep them.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to let them throw them into the Homalin River.
The guide was ordered to translate Shangyi’s words to the coalition soldiers across the river.
He hesitated. .
The Union soldiers slowly walked to the river and threw their rifled guns down.
Between the options of certain death and the possibility of living, they chose the latter.
After experiencing the power of Dasong’s army, they lost hope of victory.
Besides, not everyone has the courage to face death.
After the first batch of soldiers surrendered, more and more soldiers chose to surrender.
People always have a herd mentality, that is, one person’s behavior is easily influenced by others.
If there is no one who chooses to surrender first, others will be reluctant to surrender out of shame.
But if the first person surrenders, many people’s psychological defenses will disappear instantly, and they will start to use words such as “Others have also surrendered.” to find excuses for their surrender.
Therefore, once the coalition soldiers surrender, the momentum cannot be stopped.
When the coalition soldiers coming from the battlefield in the east saw a white flag in front of them, they naturally began to raise the white flag.
When the scattered soldiers saw that the soldiers on the main road had surrendered, they thought the situation was over and began to raise white flags to surrender.
For a time, the white flag was like a spark of fire, gradually starting a prairie fire.
Of course, an important factor in the surrender of coalition soldiers was that they lost hope of victory and chose to survive.
When the coalition soldiers surrendered one after another, the lancers who were about to pursue Homalin put away their sabers.
At this time, they raised their carbines to monitor the coalition soldiers to ensure that they would not threaten the Dasong soldiers.
Another three days of cleaning up.
Except for the surrendered soldiers, all the coalition soldiers on the east bank of Homarin were completely annihilated by the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army.
The war with the coalition forces lasted for eight months and finally ended with Dasong’s overall victory.
On the fourth day, Qin Shan and Guantong arrived at the bank of the Homalin River.
Beside them, Dasong soldiers were passing through the Homalin Bridge in neat lines.
Next, he will go to the next place.
That was Calcutta, the center of British rule in India.
The war on the border between Tianzhu and Piaoman was only a part of the entire Tianzhu war, not the whole.
Only when Tianzhu is fully occupied and the Tianzhu order belonging to Dasong is established can the war truly come to an end.
As for the more than 100,000 coalition prisoners, they have sent people to contact the navy.
Let them transport these prisoners to Dasong, where they will be distributed by the Construction Department at its discretion.
At the same time, in order to ensure that these prisoners will not cause trouble.
They left 100,000 people to guard and cooperate with the navy to escort the prisoners.
However, not all of these 100,000 people were used to guard prisoners, there was no need.
Instead, Qinshan and Guantong believed that the main force of the coalition forces had been eliminated.
There is no need for the remaining coalition soldiers in Tianzhu to use too many troops. This will only increase the logistical burden.
Therefore, after discussion, the two decided to lead only more than 90,000 soldiers across the Homalin Bridge.
As they expected, from Homalin to the west, they basically encountered no decent resistance.
Two days ago, they deliberately allowed more than 2,000 Tianzhu indigenous soldiers to leave.
These two thousand Tianzhu soldiers are the tools used by Dasong’s army to spread fear.
The reason why the kings of Tianzhu regarded the British as co-lords was that they were afraid of Britain’s absolute force.
But now, Dasong’s army actually wiped out all the huge number of coalition soldiers.
What a shock to them.
However, they did not believe the deserters’ words at first.
Until the Dasong army appeared in their kingdom.
Some Tianzhu kings who still refused to believe sent their own troops.
But whether it is 30,000 to 50,000 people, or 80,000 to 90,000 people.
As soon as they came into contact with Dasong’s army, these local armies felt powerful.
After leaving the corpses on the ground, the Tubang army fled without a trace, and the panic spread even more quickly.
On the way to Calcutta, Dashong’s army encountered no resistance again.
Until they reached Calcutta.
After encountering resistance from more than 3,000 coalition soldiers here, it took only half an hour for Dasong’s army to advance into Calcutta and completely occupy this central city in British-controlled India.
“General, the prisoners we captured said that their governor had gone to the eastern battlefield before.”
Government House, Calcutta.
Qin Shan and Guantong were sitting on white wooden chairs in the yard, looking at the clear swimming pool in front of them, talking about taking a bath here at night.
At this time, Shangyi walked in.
“So, he is either dead or captured by us?” Qin Shan pondered for a moment, and then said, “Ignore him, you immediately send people to inform all the kings of the princes in Tianzhu, and let them take action within three months. They must go to Calcutta and declare their allegiance to Emperor Dasong, otherwise they will be regarded as the remnants of the Western colonialists and be wiped out from the land of Tianzhu.”
After taking control of the Governor’s Palace, they captured many native Indian officials serving the British.
These local officials in Tianzhu were proficient in the British language and understood the conditions of the various kingdoms in Tianzhu.
At first, when the Dasong Navy wiped out the allied fleet, these indigenous officials in Tianzhu were panicked, feeling that the days of British rule in Tianzhu were over.
It was just that they were intimidated by the coalition’s army in the east and did not dare to show anything strange.
Now that the coalition forces have been completely annihilated, they will naturally no longer be foolishly loyal to Britain.
After all, they also have to eat to survive.
What’s more, the history of Tianzhu is a history of being ruled by outsiders.
This is also where the deep-rooted caste system in India comes from.
Tianzhu people with the purest blood are currently called untouchable pariahs in Tianzhu language.
The upper castes are the outsiders who invaded and ruled Tianzhu according to time period.
If the Britons continue to rule, the Britons will become the highest caste in Tianzhu.
Therefore, for those untouchable people in Tianzhu, who will rule Tianzhu has nothing to do with them.
Because they were not even qualified to serve the British during their rule.
And the upper castes who serve the Britons know Britain well.
But it is precisely because of understanding Britain that one understands that the Great Song people who defeated Britain are obviously more terrifying.
