After the British took control of India, Calcutta became the capital of British India, and began to build railways with Calcutta as the center, improving the surrounding transportation system. However, the failure of the British in Hong Kong forced the British to transfer India, and then the British forces officially withdrew. After leaving Calcutta, we retreated to New Delhi in the north.
The British withdrew from Calcutta, and Indian local forces quickly rose up in Calcutta. They occupied Calcutta in the shortest time, rebuilt the former Mughal dynasty, and made Calcutta their capital.
The current emperor of the Womor Dynasty is named Prawandin.
Prawangdin is in his early fifties. Due to years of fighting, his body has old injuries, which makes him feel old and twilight, as if he is about to step into the coffin at any time.
In the dynasty hall, Prawangdin is sitting directly above the hall.
He was dressed gorgeously, with a serious look on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Such a soldier and bandit is definitely not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
In the main hall, an old man came out. The old man's name was Gulzari. He was the first person to follow Prawandin. After Prawandin became emperor, he served as the country's interior minister. It was Prawandin who A powerful person under Ding's command.
Gulzari was leaning on a cane, with a stooped back, his hair and beard were all gray, and his eyes were extremely cloudy, as if he was about to be buried. But no one dared to look down upon such a person, because most of the people who opposed him All died before him.
Prawandin opened his eyes and said loudly and forcefully: "Yes."
Gulzhari bowed again and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has just turned fifty and is still in the prime of spring and autumn. None of the women selected from the whole country in the last batch were pregnant. I sincerely request your Majesty to select young women from all over the country again to fill in." The harem is to pass on the royal bloodline.¡±
brush,,.
In the main hall, the noise started instantly.
Countless officials began to discuss the selection of women.
Prawandin has not been emperor for a long time, less than a year, but in this short period of time, he has selected two hundred women from various places. Each time, he selected one hundred women, although one or two hundred women were placed in various places. To put it simply, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, but once you choose it, it will definitely cause uproar and even panic.
Everyone knows that Emperor Prawangdin is old, and Prawangdin has no heirs. After entering the palace, he is likely to be alone for the rest of his life. More importantly, Prawangdin's throne was unjust and not many people were willing to do so.
"Your Majesty, I object."
At this time, another person stood up.
The speaker was about forty years old, his name was Singh, and he was a distant relative of Prawandin.
"Singh has an elegant temperament and stands out in the hall.
Prawandin frowned and asked, "Why do you object?"
Singh looked serious and said seriously: "When the country was first established, the people were poor. It is appropriate to be considerate of the people's sentiments and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, instead of increasing the burden on the people. If there is another draft, I am afraid it will increase the burden on the people and make it unbearable for the people. If things go on like this , it will definitely cause turmoil."
After Prawangdin heard this, a hint of gloom appeared between his brows.
"That's nonsense."
Gulzhari caught a glimpse of Prawandin's expression and felt reassured. Then he flicked his sleeves, showing a look of disdain.
Singer was furious. The old guy proposed the draft purely to please the emperor.
¡°But this is not good for the country.
Singh looked at Prawandin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we have just established a country. This is not the time to enjoy ourselves. Moreover, we are now facing internal and external troubles. There are Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen eyeing us, and there are also Chinese troops coming to India, and even the British. The army is secretly stationed in New Delhi and will launch an attack at any time. In addition, the people have not yet settled down, and many forces are complying on the surface but secretly disobeying our orders. Under such circumstances, it is really inappropriate to continue to draft the people. Instead of adding more trouble, the people should be allowed to recuperate and sincerely loyal to us."
"It's really nonsense."
Gulzhari sneered and said: "Your Majesty has fought for the country all his life, worked hard for the country all his life, and even has countless scars on his body, all of which were dedicated to the country. Your Majesty has paid so much, but has no heirs. In this situation Under such circumstances, what is wrong with selecting a few beautiful girls to continue the bloodline? Fortunately, you are still His Majesty¡¯s relative, but you don¡¯t consider His Majesty.¡±
"you,¡¡"
Singer frowned, but found it difficult to refute.
He knew that Gulzhari¡¯s words were easy for the emperor to accept, but his loyal words were hard to hear.ah.
Singh was about to speak again, but he saw Prawandin wave his hand and said in a deep voice: "Gulzari Ai Qing's words are reasonable. I will leave this matter to Ai Qing. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed first and then reported."
"I obey."
Gulzari bowed in agreement, with a smile on his lips.
Singer sighed, his expression full of helplessness.
Prawangdin waved his hand again and said: "If there is something going on, we will go to court. If there is nothing going on, we will retreat."
"Report,."
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the hall.
A burly man in military uniform ran in quickly. After seeing Prawangdin, the man knelt on the ground with a plop and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xi Yinglong from Bangladesh is asking for an audience."
"Xi Yinglong is here."
Prawangdin could no longer maintain his composure, and his expression suddenly changed.
There was a flash of light in those slightly narrowed eyes.
"Xuan,."
As soon as Prawangdin waved his hand, the man immediately left.
After Gulzhari pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, I speculate that Xi Yinglong took the initiative to come to Calcutta this time because of the Chinese army. The Chinese army attacked India for the first time and was strangled by our joint efforts, so that it retreated. In the Nagaland region, later, Chinese President Li Zhen personally led his troops to Nagaland and swept away Nagaland with thunderous means. Now that the Chinese army is so aggressive, it is only natural that Xi Yinglong comes to ask for help."
Prawandin snorted and said disdainfully: "The last time Zhang Zhidong attacked, Xi Yinglong had the opportunity to completely strangle Zhang Zhidong. It was Xi Yinglong who spared Zhang Zhidong once, but now he comes here and commits suicide. "
Gulzhari smiled slightly and said: "I feel that Xi Yinglong deliberately bypassed Zhang Zhidong. Just imagine, if Xi Yinglong really killed Zhang Zhidong, it would be a life-and-death situation with Li Zhen, and the Chinese army would be the spearhead. It will target Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen, but Zhang Zhidong was not killed, but was defeated and returned to Nagaland. Then, the target of the Chinese army's attack is the British, the dynasty, and the Xi Yinglong brothers. It is not surprising that Xi Yinglong has this idea."
Although Singh looked down on Gulzari¡¯s flattery, he knew that the old guy Gulzari was talented.
He nodded in agreement and echoed: "What Mr. Gulzhari said makes sense. I think that this time Xi Yinglong comes to ask for help, we can take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits. Moreover, by letting Xi Yinglong take the lead, we can avoid a head-on confrontation with Li Zhen."
Prawandin nodded and agreed with Singh¡¯s suggestion.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Xi Yinglong strode over in a black suit.
