Dominate the Country

The British conditions were quite harsh, but after China openly "supported" Bahadur, they dared to get involved. In fact, it was good that the British could have such a reaction.

Because for the British at present, a weak but unified Mysore can make them better earn enough benefits from it, because Chen Han would not allow Mysore to be destroyed. Based on this premise, a weak Mysore is most in line with their interests in India.

This is also the most important reason why the British are willing to support Gurzari and Singh. The British intervened in the war in Mysore and proposed to provide necessary economic and military assistance to Gurzari and Singh.

But they can't really challenge China's majesty.

The East India Company is well aware of the troubles encountered by the British on the mainland, and the mainland is no longer able to invest more power in India.

In this case, they can only lurk, avoid the Chinese edge, and maximize their existing interests.

But blindly avoiding is not the tradition of the Anglo-Saxons. They maintain a small-intensity counterattack while "avoiding", reminding the Chinese at all times that the interests of the Kingdom of Great Britain must be protected. This is what London wants.

In addition to this reason, it also has a lot to do with Bahadur's personal factors. As the successor of Tipu Sultan, Bahadur did not have much prestige within the Kingdom of Mysore. In the eyes of the British, this was not a strong leader, but he was the only candidate to maintain Mysore and ensure the stability of the situation in central and southern India.

There is no need to say much about the skills of Hyder Ali Khan. The British strategic plan for central and southern India suffered a complete failure because of him; Tipu Sultan was even more known as the Tiger of Mysore, that is, Bahadur, who behaved more like a king than a general.

Both Britain and China have a good impression of Bahadur.

The British are willing to see signs of the rise of local forces in the Kingdom of Mysore, but they are also unwilling to see the emergence of a second Tipu Sultan and the fall of Bahadur.

So when the British were in contact with Singh and others, they were also in contact with Bahadur.

The Chinese signed a military purchase agreement with Bahadur at a rapid speed. In the eyes of the British, this was simply China's blatant support for Bahadur's regime.

It can be said that so far, although the British have declared neutrality on the civil war in the Kingdom of Mysore and bet on both sides, they have actually favored Singh and Gulzari, but China is an exception!

Today's China seems to have made up its mind to support Bahadur early.

Even the most ignorant people know that China is the learning target of the Mysore Royal Army in recent years. Mysore's "modernization" depends to a large extent on China's support. It is said that China has created the current Mysore.

Even the tax reforms and police systems promoted by Tipu Sultan before were rumored to be proposed by the Chinese people who stayed in Seringabadan.

From another perspective, China is also a hero of Mysore's current situation. The chaos in Mysore and the assassination of Sultan Tipu are all caused by tax reform and the police system. Of course, many Mysore people cannot accept this statement.

In the "eyes" of many Mysore people, China and Mysore are like Japan and China in the late Qing Dynasty in the original time and space history.

That is the direction of Mysore's progress and the benchmark for Mysore's efforts.

In fact, China at this time has really changed a lot from Japan in the original time and space history.

Because China's purpose is really to make Mysore strong, Sultan Tipu is Chen Ming's trump card against the British.

In the original time and space, Japan in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty supported the Chinese revolution, not for China's republic, but to mess up the situation in China, and to fish in troubled waters while letting a China fall apart. A China that is torn apart and warlords fighting each other is impossible to develop, and it is also the China that best suits Japan's interests.

The history of the original time and space has also proved that Japan's support for Sun Dapao can be said to be its most wise decision since the Russo-Japanese War!

After the Xin Year, China was torn apart, and warlords fought for decades. In these decades, let alone developing industry, it was not as good as the late Qing Dynasty. But the Japanese took advantage of it and gained huge benefits that made the whole country crazy.

And under this reason today, the Chinese consul in Guli formally requested to meet Singh. Singh felt very bad in his heart.

But he didn't expect that the first sentence the consul said when they met was: "Our country is willing to provide loans and military supplies to your respected highness!"

...

Today's relationship between China and Mysore [India] is very different from the relationship between China and Japan in the original time and space.

The relationship between modern China and Japan in the original time and space can be said to be extremely complicated, and the overall direction is even in a state of hostility! It can be said that since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has begun to regard China as a potential enemy! The initial goal of the Japanese Navy to build an army was even more clearly aimed at the Beiyang Navy, and a war during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was the best reward for Japan's decades of hard work.

Since then, China has become Japan's "wet nurse". Whether it is the market or industrial raw materials, Japan got everything it wanted from China, and also survived the most dangerous period in the early days.

If there was no bottomless market like China to support the sales of Japan's inferior goods, how could Japan's economy transform? Why did it develop so fast?

Not one of the ten Koreas has been as 'helpful' to Japan as China.

In order to transform China into a state that best suits Japan's interests, supporting Sun Dapao has become a national policy of Japan. Perhaps Japan did not expect that after ten years of hard work, Sun Dapao would truly launch a great revolution in China that would bury the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps their original intention was just to cause trouble for China and hold China back.

But the current relationship between the Kingdom of Mysore and China will not be like this.

China is now making the Kingdom of Mysore stronger little by little, just like Britain is cultivating the second child on the continent. Instead of blindly treating Mysore as a cash cow, China is really helping Mysore, not blindly squeezing it. So whether it was Prussia at the beginning or Germany later, there was a sweet and sweet life between them and the British, right?

There was also a honeymoon between Mysore and China. Although China's proactive retreat brought this honeymoon period to an end, this does not mean that all Mysore people hate China.

In the hearts of many Mysore people, including Singh, the Chinese support Bahadur, who has a well-established background. When Tipu was assassinated on the seaside, the news reached Selingabadan, and Bahadur hurriedly took people to the beach. At that time, in Salingabatan, the entire capital was as quiet as before the storm. The Bahadurs were no longer in Selinga Badan, but they were able to finally suppress Singh and Gulzhari and "escape" because of the Chinese.

Those Chinese who stayed in Mysore all supported Bahadur. It is precisely because of this that Selinga Badan did not change his color and Bahadur did not lose his largest base.

But now the Chinese are telling Singer that they want to lend him money and trade arms. The first thing Singer felt was that his ears were filled with water.

Consul Chen Han from Guli was named Huang. Consul Huang looked at Singh as if he had seen a ghost and asked: "Your Highness, who told you that I would support His Highness Bahadur? This incident happened only a few days ago ? How could Nanjing’s reply come so quickly?”

Now Chen Han's manpower in Mysore is a mess, and the minister has not been restored. Whether it is Seringabadan or Guri, they are both consuls, with a sixth-grade official rank, and no one is greater than the other.

Naturally, everyone has his own tendencies.

For Consul Huang in front of him, he had a hundred confidence that the empire would not want to see Bahadur sweep through Singh and Gulzariri. Therefore, it is necessary to give Singer appropriate help, enhance Singer's confidence, and enhance Singer's strength.

After Consul Huang left, Singer still didn't recover for a while.

Lord Brahma, when the first moment he received Consul Huang's visit, all he could think of was: This man must be working as a lobbyist for Habadur. Who would have thought that they came here with money and guns?

Although Singh paid for the control of Guri Customs, he also paid for the local salt administration.

——The salt production industry in India is very old, but the Kingdom of Mysore is not inferior to the areas rich in sea salt, which are mainly in the Gujarat region in northwest India. This area is now controlled by the Marathas.

Therefore, these two tax systems are still quite valuable. Of course, if Chen Han wants to ensure that the agreement signed by Singer is effective, they must also ensure the existence of Singer's power.

Previously, Singh felt that Consul Huang was here to act as a lobbyist for Bahadur. This was not because he was timid.

After Bahadur has signed an arms purchase agreement with China, the inferiority in weapons makes the Singh regime appear to be in danger. Perhaps Singh and Gulzhari can take the lead and launch an offensive on Selingabadan from both sides, one from the southwest and one from the southeast. Before the Chinese arms are delivered to Bahadur, chop off Bahadur's head.

But this possibility is really too small.

However, Singh did not expect that Consul Huang would be on his side. This surprise came too suddenly and too big.

"Although I and Consul Zhang of Selingabadan belong to the same country, don't your Highness you and His Highness Bahadur also belong to the same country?"

Consul Huang's subtext is: Who said that people in a country will have the same position?

This was really the happiest sentence Singer had heard in the past few days.

No matter whether China is preparing to interfere in Mysore's internal affairs or whether it intends to regard itself as their agent in Mysore and India. Anyway, Singer obeyed. If he does not follow China, he will have a bleak future now; only if he follows China can he have a better tomorrow.

These things all happened before Chen Ming received the news about Mysore. But Consul Huang's judgment of the current situation was correct.

Chen Ming really didn't want to see Bahadur sweep through Singh and Gulzhari without any difficulty. He felt that maintaining a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was more in line with Chen Han's interests in India.

Although Tiepu's death transformed Mysore's ace card into an old K and greatly reduced its role in containing the British, it also made it easier for China to return to Mysore and have a deeper influence on Mysore. Is your kingdom already here?

From a certain perspective, this may not be a good opportunity for China to expand its interests in India.

In addition, he could also use this to gain some benefits from the British and Marathas.

Because Chen Ming firmly believes that the British and Hyderabad are definitely not willing to see a stable, unified and growing Mysore.
