Chapter 1010: Compromise

India. Read М

While the Dasong army was advancing its war southward, Calcutta welcomed a special guest.

This person was Ashur.

In the battle of Yongzhou, he was chased back to Tubo by the Dasong cavalry like a dog.

He slept in the open air and caught a cold. When he returned to Sacheng, his old injury relapsed and he almost lost his life.

After more than a month of recuperation, his health improved, and he immediately sent an envoy to India to meet with the governor of India, Bolt.

He knew very well that the disastrous defeat of the Northern Di in Yongzhou was basically equivalent to the destruction of all his assets.

Today, the Northern Di was weak and could no longer deal with the Dasong army independently.

Although he was reluctant to admit that they were really like chickens and dogs in front of the Dasong army.

After this battle, he expected that the Dasong army would definitely make a concerted effort to completely eliminate the Northern Di.

Therefore, in order to deal with this crisis, he had to find a way out for the Northern Di.

The way out he chose was to get closer to the British.

Tubo is like a steep wall to India, overlooking India from above.

Before he conquered India, the British had always coveted it and were ready to launch an erosion operation.

After all, India is very important to the British.

And if you want to protect the safety of India, you can't allow Tubo to be controlled by a powerful dynasty. It is safest to control it in your own hands.

It is precisely because of these considerations that he firmly believes that the British need him.

As long as he submits to Britain and its queen like the Indian state.

India is equivalent to being one with Tubo, and the British's desire to occupy Tubo has been realized since then.

All they need to pay is to protect Tubo as they protect India.

"Ashur, I am very happy that you can make such a wise choice." In the garden of the Governor's Mansion, Bolt and Ashur sat opposite each other with smiles on their faces.

After he agreed to meet Ashur, Ashur arrived here half a month later.

Before this, he had learned the news of Beidi's defeat.

This news shocked and angered him and Wesley.

Originally, they expected Beidi, Jiaozhi and Piaoman to tear open the gap in Dasong's defense for their Western Land coalition forces so that the coalition forces could find opportunities to fight.

But Jiaozhi and Piaoman suffered losses in their first battle with the Dasong army.

This made them confirm that Dasong had stationed a large number of troops in the south.

After discussion, they concluded that the focus of Dasong's defense must be in the south.

Therefore, they hoped that Beidi and Ross's offensive in the north would cause chaos in the north of Dasong, allowing the Dasong army to withdraw troops from the south.

At that time, Jiaozhi and Piaoman could rush into Jiaozhou and Yunzhou of Dasong in one go.

The coalition army could also follow them into Dasong to burn, kill, loot, and destroy everything they encountered.

For a country, a war on its own land is devastating.

Even if Dasong finally wins, what is left for them is a devastated land.

But what a pity!

The Beidi who came out in full force finally disappointed them.

Their plan to go north became a phantom in a dream.

But even if he was angry, he still had to keep smiling when facing Ashur.

In this battle, the value of Beidi was greatly reduced, but it was not completely useless.

Ashur still controlled Tubo, and they needed Tubo as a barrier to Tianzhu to prevent the tentacles of the Dasong army from extending to the north of Tianzhu.

"I am also very happy that the governor can accept me. Please believe that as long as I am here, Tubo will be safe and sound, just like Tianzhu, it will be subordinate to Britain." Ashur smiled.

The meeting went very smoothly. He made a request and Bolt agreed.

At the same time, he promised to continue to provide them with muskets and artillery, and even send troops from Tianzhu to support them when they were attacked.

This made him feel very relieved and thought he had made the right decision.

"I believe in you! And you will definitely revive Beidi." Bolt patted Ashur's hand, and his smile became more intense.

Just a verbal promise got Ashur's loyalty, and Tubo was brought under the rule of Britain. This business is a sure win.

As for whether they will fulfill their promise, it depends on the situation.

After chatting for a while, Bolt suddenly asked about Ulanba.

The war with Beidi also led to the division of Beidi.

Ashur was a strong man. He was unwilling to serve even his own brother, so he would not serve his nephew.

What's more, it was a nephew he did not agree with and had different ideas from him.

"I got some news. After he returned to the Khan's court, he inherited the Khanship. This was also the order made by my brother before the war. After that, he was said to have sent an envoy to the Russian country and was ready to pay tribute to the Russian country." Ashur frowned.

From calling himself Khan to sending envoys to Beidi, Ulanba did not send cavalry to inform him at all.

It can be seen that his nephew was also dissatisfied with him, and even full of fear.

He and this nephew were destined to part ways.

But it's good that way. As long as one of them makes the right choice, the fire of Beidi can be preserved and can rise again in the future.

"What a sad news. The Russians are not trustworthy. They will eventually eat him up without leaving any bones." Bolt shook his head.

Although they are cooperating with the Russians at the moment, their inherent prejudice against the Russians cannot be changed.

After saying this, Bolt pretended that he had other things to do and asked someone to send Ashur back to his residence.

Since the agreement has been reached, Ashur can return to Tubo and guard Tubo for them honestly.

After Ashur's figure disappeared, Wesley walked out of a room lazily.

He deliberately did not meet Ashur because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but get angry and beat Ashur.

Because they are soldiers, they cannot tolerate the army that cooperated with them to lose so thoroughly.

"With Ashur here, the Dasong army cannot occupy Tubo for the time being. This is good news. The bad news is that they have dealt with the north, so for the King of Yan, only the trouble in the south remains. The war is not far away!" Bolt said to Wesley.

"You don't need to remind me of this. I'm already preparing. Damn it, I just hope that the reinforcements from the mainland can come earlier. Damn it, I also hope that I can hold on until then." Wesley kept swearing.

Now, all the pressure has shifted to the south.

Who knows when the war will start? And where it will start first.

The navy of the King of Yan has established a supply point on the island east of Yaga.

Heavy troops are also stored in Jiaozhi and Piaoman.

Now, these three points are all powder kegs that may explode at any time.

"But no matter what, Bolt, I will definitely make King Yan uncomfortable and let him see the power of our Western Army, especially the power of our British Army." Wesley held his pipe and looked towards Dasong.
