Chapter 1125 Calcutta
"We surrender!"
The Homalin River flows from north to south.
On the east bank of the river, the coalition soldiers wearing different colored uniforms raised the same color flag - the white flag!
"Let them throw all the rifles into the river."
The performance of the coalition soldiers caught Shangyi's eyes. After the guide translated the words of the coalition soldiers, Shangyi immediately gave an order.
For him, the caliber of the rifles of this batch of coalition soldiers was different from their muskets, and it was useless to keep them.
So, for safety reasons, 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 on the other side of the river.
Hesitated. .
The coalition soldiers slowly walked to the river and threw the rifles down.
Between the options of certain death and possible survival, they chose the latter.
After learning the power of the Dasong 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 first person who chooses to surrender, others will also resist surrendering because of shame.
But if the first person surrenders, many people's psychological defenses will disappear instantly, and they will start to find excuses for their surrender by saying "others have surrendered too."
Therefore, once the coalition soldiers surrender, the momentum cannot be stopped.
The coalition soldiers coming from the eastern battlefield saw a white flag in front of them, and they naturally began to raise white flags.
The scattered soldiers saw the soldiers on the main road surrender, thinking that the situation was over, and they also began to raise white flags to surrender.
For a time, the white flags were like sparks, gradually spreading across the prairie.
Of course, the important factor for the surrender of the coalition soldiers was that they lost hope of victory and chose to live.
When the coalition soldiers surrendered one after another, the lancers who were about to chase to Homarin put away their sabers.
At this time, they raised their carbines to supervise the coalition soldiers to ensure that they would not threaten the Dasong soldiers.
Another three days of cleaning.
Except for the surrendered soldiers, all the coalition soldiers on the east bank of Homalin were annihilated by the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army.
The war that had been stalemate with the coalition for eight months finally ended with the complete victory of Dasong.
On the fourth day, Qin Shan and Guan Tong came to the bank of the Homalin River.
Beside them, Dasong soldiers lined up in neat rows and were crossing the Homalin Bridge.
Next, he would go to the next place.
That was Calcutta, the ruling center of Britain in Tianzhu.
The war on the border between Tianzhu and the Piaoman was only part of the entire Tianzhu war, not all of it.
The war was truly over only after the full occupation of Tianzhu and the establishment of the Tianzhu order belonging to Dasong.
As for the more than 100,000 coalition prisoners, they had sent people to contact the navy.
Let them transport these prisoners to Dasong and distribute them by the Construction Department.
At the same time, in order to ensure that these prisoners would not cause trouble.
They left 100,000 people to guard and cooperate with the navy to escort the prisoners.
However, these 100,000 people were not all used to guard the prisoners. There was no need for this.
Rather, Qin Shan and Guan Tong believed that the main force of the coalition had been destroyed.
There was no need for them to mobilize too many troops for the remaining coalition soldiers in India, which would only increase the burden of logistics.
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 did not encounter any decent resistance.
Two days ago, they deliberately allowed more than 2,000 Indian native soldiers to leave.
These 2,000 Indian soldiers were the tools used by the Dasong army to spread fear.
The reason why the king of the Indian state regarded the British as their common master was that they were afraid of the absolute force of Britain.
But now, the Dasong army actually annihilated a large number of coalition soldiers.
For them, this was so shocking.
However, they did not believe the words of deserters at first.
Until the Dasong army appeared in their state.
Some Indian kings who still refused to believe sent out their own troops.
But no matter whether it was 30,000 or 50,000, or 80,000 or 90,000.
Once they came into contact with the Dasong army, these princely states’ troops tasted the power.
Leaving behind a field of corpses, the princely state army ran away without a trace, and panic spread even more rapidly.
Later on the way to Calcutta, the Dasong army encountered no resistance.
Until they arrived in Calcutta.
After encountering resistance from more than 3,000 allied soldiers here, the Dasong army took only half an hour to enter Calcutta and completely occupied the central city of India controlled by Britain.
"General, the captives we captured said that their governor had gone to the eastern battlefield before."
Calcutta Governor's Mansion.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong 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, Shang Yi walked in.
"So, either he is dead or captured by us?" Qin Shan pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about him. Send someone to notify all the kings of the Indian states immediately, and tell them to go to Calcutta within three months to pledge allegiance to the Emperor of Dasong. Otherwise, they will be regarded as the remnants of the Western colonists and be wiped out from the land of India."
After controlling the Governor's Office, they captured many Indian officials who served the British.
These Indian officials are proficient in the British language and understand the situation of the various Indian states.
At first, when the Dasong Navy wiped out the Allied Fleet, these Indian officials were panicked and felt that the days of British rule in India were over.
They were just afraid of the Allied Army in the east and did not dare to show any abnormality.
Now that the Allied Forces have been completely annihilated, they will naturally not be foolish enough to pledge allegiance to Britain.
After all, they also have to eat to survive.
What's more, the history of India is a history of being ruled by outsiders.
The deep-rooted Indian caste system also comes from this.
The Indians with the purest blood are now called untouchables in the Indian language.
The high castes are the outsiders who invaded and ruled India in a certain period of time.
If the British were allowed to continue to rule, they would become the highest caste in India.
Therefore, for those Indian untouchables called untouchables, who rules India has nothing to do with them.
Because they were not even qualified to serve the British during the British rule.
And the high castes who served the British knew Britain very well.
But it is precisely because of the understanding of Britain that they understand that the Dasong people who defeated Britain are obviously more terrible.
