Chapter 894 Big Scene
If someone says that people living in India are generally docile and lack the spirit of rebellion, the Indians will definitely be unhappy, and then dance and dance to refute.
However, people living in this area are indeed more docile than those in other places.
This is caused by many factors, including culture, tradition, and geographical location.
Among them, geographical location should be regarded as the most important factor.
Looking around the world, the general situation is that the harsher the geographical environment, the more aggressive the people, such as nomads, such as poor mountainous areas, or places where disasters occur frequently and it is difficult to survive.
In these places, people who are not fierce lose the opportunity to pass on their genes because they cannot grab enough food and mating rights.
Those who are more fierce pass on the aggressive gene, and the offspring become more and more fierce.
And India's Ganges Plain, the environment is too good.
Between each other, even if they don't need to fight each other very hard, they can still eat and live.
There are also some parts of Africa where the local people don't even know how to farm because it's not necessary.
The trees are full of fruits, if you are hungry, go pick some wild fruits.
That environment is too easy to feed people, making it unnecessary for those people to study how to plant, and naturally it is difficult to give birth to civilization.
At the same time, because it is easy to find food, the people there are not so fierce, and their muscles are lost in vain.
It is understandable that they could not be defeated by guns, but when they arrived at the plantations in America, they had countless opportunities to kill slave owners, but no decent uprising broke out.
If it were the Chinese nation, they would have risen up long ago.
Geographical environment can indeed affect a person's personality.
In barren places, it is necessary to fight to the death for a bite of food.
But in the Ganges Plain, if someone robs a mouthful of food, then go to the field to plant another two. What a big deal, there is no need to work hard.
Over time, people living in this kind of place will form a cultural tradition of not being aggressive. If they are bullied, they will just be obedient and be done.
Independence in other places is all fought with one's life, in exchange for countless lives and blood.
Only here, after finally launching a resistance movement, the pictures are so shocking.
The so-called non-violent non-resistance movement means that we do not agree with you ruling us here, if you refuse to leave, we will take your things.
We don't use violence, and we don't fight back when you use violence. If you have the ability, you will beat us to death.
In this way, independence has really been achieved here.
Sometimes, history is really funny, more absurd than reality.
In short, the people living in this place are relatively more docile than those in other places.
Faced with the rough treatment of those Fusang people, the city seldom resisted, so that the soldiers who wanted to find excuses to kill and rob were very helpless.
A kick down, a slap in the past, the opponent just doesn't fight back.
The process of controlling Calcutta went very smoothly, and the people at the bottom living here actually didn't have any concept of a country.
Being ruled by the Mughal nobles and being ruled by the Chinese are both being ruled, there is no difference.
As long as the Dahua army doesn't kill them, how should life be?
"These people are really trash, worse than pigs."
A few soldiers from Changzhou Province commented on those local people. At this moment, he forgot that Fusang had also been conquered.
"I think we can secretly go to those people's homes at night, and rape those flower girls in the name of a search. I'm sorry they don't dare to resist and sue."
"That's good, that's a good idea."
…
Calcutta was captured, and then the Chinese army began to march eastward. They wanted to occupy the entire Bengal area and complete their rule here.
At least, the power to collect taxes must be mastered, otherwise it would be meaningless to occupy this place.
Not only to collect taxes, Dahua also plans to build water conservancy in this area, promote Wu rice, and turn this place into Dahua's granary.
There is never too much food.
It is a pity that such a good place is in the hands of the local indigenous people. These people do not have any planting skills.
At the same time, the Mughal Empire also got the news that Dahua had attacked Calcutta, and the ministers had a debate in the palace.
Some people want to talk to Dahua first, and don't declare war casually, after all, Dahua people are very powerful.
However, some people also said that they would send troops immediately to show their tough attitude, and they must not make Dahua feel that they are easy to provoke, otherwise the Dahua people will definitely make progress.
Others didn't even know Dahua's strength very well. When they heard that someone dared to take action against the mighty Mughal Empire, they immediately clamored for Dahua to pay the price.
In a dispute, Emperor Shah Jahan declared war on Dahua.
At this time, it was the prosperous period of the Mughal Empire, and Shah Jahan took face seriously.
Indians are indeed relatively lacking in blood, but compared to people in other places, it does not mean that they will not resist at all.
The places are all occupied, and it is impossible for them to not respond at all.
Moreover, the lack of blood refers to civilians.
Those in power, none of them are merciful, otherwise they would not be able to sit in the position of ruler.
Shah Jahan was shameless, and at the same time he underestimated Dahua's strength.
He knows that Dahua's guns are very powerful, but he is still obsessed with the numerical advantage.
For the Chinese army coming from afar, they have a huge advantage in numbers.
Shah Jahan sent 400,000 troops from Delhi to Calcutta.
This is a very terrifying number. Only Dahua, Ottoman and their Mughal Empire can mobilize so many troops at one time in the world.
With 400,000 troops, logistics alone is a huge problem.
If an agricultural country wants to quickly mobilize 400,000 troops into battle, it will take several months, or even a year or so, to prepare.
However, the Mughal Empire was able to mobilize 400,000 troops within a few days, which is quite good.
All the way from Delhi to Calcutta is a plain, and grain can be collected locally, which greatly reduces the logistical burden to a certain extent.
The 400,000 troops rushed forward in one go, which was quite terrifying.
After Chen Biju heard the news, he didn't dare to be careless. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, not to mention 400,000 people, even 400,000 pigs rushing up, it is the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.
Chen Biju brought back all the troops from the east, and together with the two divisions that arrived later, he gathered an army of more than 60,000 people and waited for the enemy's arrival in Calcutta.
On November 20, the army of the Mughal Empire reached a hundred miles west of Calcutta.
The Hua army then left the city, preparing to fight a decisive battle with their opponents in the wild, and the outcome will be determined by the first battle.
