I have to admit that the Kingdom of Jin, which has been "practicing" in Central Asia for more than a hundred years, is much smarter than the Ming Dynasty when it comes to using the few to defeat the masses and governing the many with the few!
India, a big problem for Zhuge's military advisers, was a piece of cake in the hands of the candidate Xianfeng Ye Yiwei. Moreover, it can also be made with both color, flavor and taste, which can satisfy the British, Chinese, Jin people and Indians.
And the method he came up with for this Indian dish was to create an "Emperor of India"... Emperor William's approach was to create a centralized India. Although it is not done in one step, it is indeed done.
To be honest, apart from India itself, no foreign power seems to be able to benefit from this approach. In fact, Britain itself will become a victim of a unified India sooner or later... There are certainly many reasons why the British Empire lost India in another timeline, but the British themselves built India into a colorful and prosperous country. It is a big country and must be one of the important reasons for India's independence!
As for the partition of India and Pakistan...this is actually not bad for India. Because Partition actually created the dominant ethnic group in India, otherwise Hindus and Hindus would probably be evenly matched, and India's internal divisions would be even more serious. Just imagine, if Hindus accounted for 40% of the population in India, would they submit to the control of Hindus?
You have to fight there every day!
In short, if British colonial rule did not help India create a relatively strong centralized power, it would allow India's hundreds of states to maintain a relatively high degree of independence. So once India becomes independent, it may break into dozens of small countries that are not affiliated with each other (assuming 10 states form one small country), have complicated internal relations, and have strong local forces... So are they still willing to get rid of them? It’s hard to say what the British suzerainty is. Even if India finally becomes independent, it will be much easier to control these dozens of small countries than India and Pakistan.
Maybe the British Empire can still control the small countries in India just like France controls the "Franc Zone" countries in West and Central Africa, and continue to be the overlord of India... It is a pity that the British Empire, which has done evil things for hundreds of years, is leaving India. At that time, it was a rare opportunity for me to be a human being and arrange a good start for Indian Asan. Maybe their British father has been their father for a long time and they really regard India as their son?
But this time the Indians are not so lucky, because this time there is more than one British father who is interested in this good Indian son, but Ming's father, British mother, Lao Jin next door, oh, and there is also an Asian distant neighbor who is keeping an eye on him. The rich countries in India are drooling!
There are so many people helping to make arrangements, why can't they be made clear and clear?
Yiwei smiled and said to Zhuge Weijiu, Zhu Xiyan, Zhuge Weixue, and Lin Zexu: "In today's India, about half of the territory is directly controlled by the emperor, and the other half belongs to three to four hundred people, large and small. The princely states... The emperor's direct jurisdiction can actually be reduced a little, and the monarchs of the three to four hundred princely states are not irreplaceable. They were often changed in history. And now those who are princely states and vassals Most of the king's masters were Tianfang sect princes who followed the Mughals or the previous dynasties of the Delhi Sultans in their conquests. And the people ruled by them were mostly Hindus. Therefore, the foundation of many feudal lords was It’s not deep, it’s completely replaceable. Even the Sikh state, which is the most powerful state in India today, still has the problem of Sikhs ruling the Devabha believers!
As long as His Royal Highness King Lu can become the Emperor of Zhou in India, he can use the method of the Xia monarch and the barbarians to slowly replace the monarchs of some of these kingdoms with our people..."
His "our people", of course, also include the people from the "Lao Jin's" family next door!
There are three to four hundred feudal lords!
Even if only half of it is replaced, there are still 150 to 200 seats... Ming's father, Ying's mother, Lao Jin next door, and a little boy who came to fight, can each family be allocated dozens of seats?
Of course, the big head belongs to the couple Zhu Xiyou and Victoria!
And these two couples work hard to have a child, and they will give birth to ten or eight children. In the future, each person will have a country, and they will be able to divide into ten or eight big countries! Of course, the prime ministers of these big countries are from the eight great families and the British dukes and marquises.
As for the British capitalists, they can actually continue to benefit from the fragmented Great Indian Confederation... Although a fragmented India is not conducive to the formation of a unified market, the masters and nobles of the princely states are getting better and better. The more, the greater the demand for high-end British goods. Moreover, Britain can also build some lavish "free cities" in India to attract nobles from the country to live a luxurious and fashionable life. Then not only can they sell goods, but they can also make a lot of money from the finance and real estate of these free cities.
In addition, letting the "lords" below each manage their own territories would also be conducive to the sustainable development of the British Empire!
If we continue to follow the path of Emperor William, when India really becomes a unified and industrialized huge empire, what will happen to the more than 20 million British people?
...
Palazzo Portici welcomes new visitors!
The British came back this time, but it was not Charles Elliot, but Princess Victoria's representative, Viscount Palmerston - Emperor William sent a secret envoy, and Princess Victoria, who was only 15 years old, actually also sent a secret envoy... ....And he is a person of the level of Viscount Palmerston!
Although Viscount Palmerston did not serve as a minister in the new government led by Emperor William himself, he was by no means an ordinary backbencher, but a patriarch of the Whig Party (a Tory before him, now a He jumped to the Whig Party) and was a political figure who was qualified to be prime minister.
Come and try it quickly. 】
He worked as a secret emissary for a 15-year-old princess and came all the way to Italy. This thing... is very strange!
Because this matter was very strange, Zhuge Weijiu, Zhu Xi'an, Zhuge Weixue, and Lin Zexu all came together to meet with the visiting Viscount Palmerston.
He also brought a handwritten letter from Victoria!
Victoria, a 15-year-old girl, very boldly expressed her love to her elder brother Zhu Xiu in the letter... In the letter, she shyly expressed her hope that Zhu Xiu could become the emperor of India in the future, and she looked forward to being adopted by him in the future. The Indian Emperor Zhu was elected as the Queen of India.
Of course, the attitude in Victoria's letter was very low, as if Zhu Xiyou could really choose her, a chubby girl, among a bunch of beauties.
But in fact, Zhu Xiyou can indeed be "elected", but the only candidate is Victoria... Only by choosing Victoria, the Indian Queen, can he become the Emperor of India!
In order to be the emperor... let your wife get fatter. In fact, Victoria is quite cute when she is fat, like a doll.
After reading Victoria's autographed letter and finally confirming that he could become emperor, he suppressed a smile and asked with a serious face: "Viscount, when can Victoria inherit the throne of the United Kingdom?"
You have to become emperor as early as possible... His brother has been the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for eighteen years, but he has not been emperor for a day. Urgent!
Viscount Palmerston smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness, this does not depend on Your Royal Highness, but on you... Whether the future Emperor of India and King of the United Kingdom can win the British Army, the Royal Navy, the Bank of England and the support of the Episcopal Church!”
