Afghanistan is currently under the rule of the Clark Dynasty, and its economic level is almost equivalent to the level of the Ming Dynasty in China, or the level of backward regions, which is not up to the average level.The world of this era is very different, most of the countries are still feudal economies, and even slave societies, while the great powers have completed industrial accumulation and are developing towards imperialism.It is equivalent to a few adults standing in the middle of a bunch of short people, and one kick can kill one, such a world pattern, if there is no war, it is impossible.If it weren't for Hua Guo, a super fat little man who couldn't stomp to death with one foot, two feet, three feet and four feet, Hua Guo would not be much better.There are currently two Khans in Afghanistan, one is Abdul Rahman Khan and the other is Muhammad Yakub Khan.Muhammad Yakub Khan is the orthodox Khan, this Abdul Rahman Khan is somewhat similar to the Wang Jingwei regime, Abdul Rahman Khan and the British are very close.He was originally the governor of Tashkurgan, but later fled to other countries because he lost the battle with Yakub Khan for the throne of Afghanistan.In 1879, Abdul Rahman Khan accepted British aid and led troops to become the monarch of the dynasty.He was the grandson of Dost Muhammad Khan.In the struggle for succession to the throne, his father Afzar Khan was defeated, and Abdulrahman fled to India in 1869.During the Second Anglo-Afghan War, he returned to Afghanistan from India at the instigation and support of the British and reached a compromise with the British colonists.On the one hand, he defeated the anti-British armed forces of the Afghan people, and on the other hand, ruthlessly attacked the local feudal separatist forces.He confiscated the lands of the Islamic Congregation and some of the sheikhs, exiled some sheikhs, reorganized government institutions, strengthened central power, and unified weights and measures and currency.These measures weakened local separatist forces, thus facilitating the development of commercial trade.In addition, the first modern hospital was established by carrying out internal affairs reforms, hiring foreign experts, and introducing foreign military machinery.After the 70s of the 19th century, the British began to invade the independent tribal areas of the Patan tribe on the border between India and Afghanistan, and met with the heroic resistance of these tribal peoples, Abdullrahman Khan sympathized with the struggle of these tribes and gave them all kinds of support.In fact, this is not the first time that Benjamin Disraeli has urged the Indian governor to do so, although the British and Indian governors are subordinate, but because they are too far apart, the generals will not be subject to the orders of foreign kings, and the power of the Indian governors is actually enormous.The Viceroy of India refers to the British head of administration in India.From 1773 the title of Governor was given to Warren Hastings, and the term of office was generally five years, but could be removed and left early.In 1858 India came under the direct control of the British crown.The Indian provinces of Punjab, Bengal, Mumbai, Madras, United Provinces, etc., applied to the British for the title of Governor-General.Until 1858, the Governor General was generally chosen by the director of the East India Company and was accountable to him.He was appointed by the overlord British government; The Secretary of State of India is a member of the Cabinet.The term of office of the Governor is generally five years, but he can be removed and leave early.At the end of the term, an interim governor is generally sometimes appointed until a new successor to the post is appointed.The Governor began to live in the Belvedere Mansion in Kolkata.At the beginning of the 19th century, the Governor moved to the newly built Government House.Indian Governor Robert Boul Wallitton soon received a telegram from London, and sighed to George Robinson beside him: "In fact, in the current situation, the needs of the Indian Governor's Office and the British are completely identical, can't they see that if they do not increase military spending, it is impossible to take the entire Afghan region In addition, now that the forces of China have intervened, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and if it is not done well, it is possible that the Chinese will take action against India." ”George Robinson is temporarily Robert Bull Wallyton's deputy and successor, and next year he will succeed Robert Bull Wallitton as the new Governor General of India."
Sir, they should know about these situations, so they don't listen to the urging us to make more use of the local forces in Afghanistan, but sir, with all due respect, I think that China will definitely reach out to India, they should think of this as soon as possible, and end this war as soon as possible in order to leave a good barrier for India, not to mention that we can't take Afghanistan, even if we take it, once our land borders China, what kind of terrible situation will it be, we have all seen the strong strength of the Chinese army, Sir, you know, it was still five or six years ago in the Chinese Army, and now all the equipment in China has been replaced, the country is developing rapidly, and the morale and fighting spirit of the whole country are very strong."
I think they didn't think about it, there are two reasons, one is that the British Empire can't put down its face, and it takes the initiative to negotiate peace with the local forces in Afghanistan, which makes the masters of the parliament and the bureaucrats in the cabinet, how can they open this kind of mouth In addition, next year is the day of the general election, at this time, I am afraid that Benjamin Disraeli and William Yourt Gladstone will not be in the mood to seriously consider the Indian issue, they should be more bothered about the general election."
Robert Bull Warlitton said helplessly."
According to the current situation, it is very clear that the Chinese army has the intention of infiltrating India, but I have sent letters to London many times, and no one has responded to me, what can I do?"
said Kolkata, the largest city in India, the seat of the Indian colonial authorities.Located on the Ganges Delta in the east, it has fertile soil and convenient transportation.From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company was active in Calcutta.By 1772, Kolkata was officially the capital of India.By now, Kolkata has officially replaced Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, as the center of Indian rule.In order to continue the war against Afghanistan, the Viceroy of India, Robert Bul Warliton, continued to prepare for war in accordance with domestic orders.In addition to the 200,000 troops sent from the homeland, the size of the Anglo-Indian army also reached 1 million.Robert Bull Warlitton and George Robinson are still recruiting more Indians, of course, in the case of insufficient funds, they are all using the model of catching strong men, although the number of such troops is huge, the elite level is not at the same level as the field division of the Chinese army, and the army that can be called an army is still the 200,000 people who came from the British mainland.The Viceroyalty of the Indian Colonial Authority, located on the outskirts of Kolkata.Although Kolkata is the largest city in India, the countless Indians crowd the city, making it look very chaotic.Kolkata is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal.It is located in the Ganges Delta region of eastern India, on the east bank of a tributary of the Hooghly River Ganges.During the colonial period, from 1772 until the present year of 1879, Kolkata has been the capital of British India.During this time, the city has been the center of modern education, science, culture and politics in India, with a large number of Victorian-style buildings.In 1717, Mughal Emperor Faroukhsiyar granted the British East India Company free trade in exchange for the company's annual delivery of Rs 3,000; This measure greatly contributed to the development of Calcutta, and Indian merchants flocked to it.Officials of the company conduct tax-free private trade under the banner of the company.In 1742, when the Marathi from the southwest began to invade the Mughals in western Bengal, the British, with the permission of Nawab Alivardi Khan of Bengal, dug trenches in the north and east of the town in order to create a moat on the land side, hence the name Matala ditch, which did not reach the southern end of the colony but became the eastern boundary of Kolkata.In 1756, faced with frequent clashes with French forces, the British began to upgrade their fortifications.Bangladeshi Governor Sirajoud Daullah protested against such militarization, but ignored it, so he attacked and captured Fort William, imprisoning the British in the famous Calcutta Black Hole.In January 1757, Robert Klevu led a detachment of Indian and British soldiers from the company to retake the city the following year.In June, the army of Sirajouud Daoula was defeated at the Battle of Plassey, after which British rule in Bengal was established.During this time, the swamps around the city were drained, the forests of Gobindapur were cut down, and a new Fort William was built on its current site, overlooking the banks of the Hooghly River, as a symbol of British military superiority.In 1772, Calcutta was designated as the capital of British India.The first governor at the time, Warren Hastings, moved an important office from the Mughal provincial capital of Murhidabad to Calcutta.In 1773, Bombay and Madras became subordinate to the British Indian government within Fort William.The Supreme Court, which applied English law, began to exercise jurisdiction over Calcutta as far as Maratha Gully.In 1752, the population of Calcutta, from about 10,000 to 120,000 in 1706, increased to 120,000, and in 1821 to 180,000.At the beginning of the 19th century, Calcutta was divided into 2 distinct districts, an English and an Indian, the white quarter was built on already raised ground and had a drainage system, where luxury mansions abounded, and Governor Richard Wellesley largely contributed to the growth of the city between 1797 and 1805.Due to its spectacular public buildings, the white quarter of Kolkata is depicted as the "City of Palaces".The Indian quarter is called the Black Town.Even then, the impoverished shantytowns of the "black town" were appalling.The Indians there live in different areas according to their occupations, such as the potter's area and the shell makers' area.With the expansion of British influence in the subcontinent, the whole of northern India gradually became the hinterland of Calcutta.The abolition of domestic tariffs in 1835 created an open market, and the construction of railways in 1854 further accelerated the development of industry and commerce, and the construction of the road from Calcutta to Peshawar was also built at this time.The commercial, insurance and banking industries of the British developed.Kolkata's Indian quarter has also become a busy commercial hub.From the 1850s onwards, the city experienced rapid growth in industry, especially the textile and jute industries; The British government has also made massive investments in infrastructure such as railways and telegraphs.The fusion of British and Indian cultures also gave rise to a new Babu class in the cities of India and Asia's earliest middle class, whose members were often professionals, newspaper-reading, pro-British, and belonging to upper-caste Hindu groups.Throughout the 19th century, a socio-cultural change known as the Bengal Renaissance brought about general progress in society.If Ashgabat was a fortress that the Chinese Emperor was preparing to set up in Central Asia, Calcutta was a fortress in India for the mature and formed British colonial empire, and both sides are now actively preparing for it."
Then I will go and find Abdul Rahman Khan again and tell him that we still have to fight, we must take Afghanistan, otherwise, he will not know our intentions."
George Robinson said to Robert Boul Wallyton, Governor General of India.Robert Bull Warlitton thought for a moment, "Yes, if we don't let him know our intentions, he probably won't be desperate, let him know that if we fail, he won't want to have a good life." ”George Robinson nodded, "Yes, sir, I'll send someone there." ”t1706231537:
