Chapter 020 Gurkha Sharma

Who caused Zhuo Yang to become like this?

It was Sharma, the Gurkha who was the chief of the bodyguard of Prince Ergul of Monaco.

.

Many people say that Qin Shihuang is the greatest emperor in Chinese history, bar none.

Cars on the same rails and books on the same page swept across the world. The First Emperor deeply rooted the idea of ​​great unification in the souls of the Chinese people. After him, there are countless heroes or tycoons, and unification of the country is their highest pursuit. In the eyes of every Chinese, the reunification of China is a matter of course and no discussion is allowed.

For thousands of years, the wheel of history has been rolling forward, and the land of China has been divided and reunited many times. However, no matter how many hardships it has experienced, the idea of ​​great unification is the soul, and the rising dynasties of the Central Plains are the foundation. The Chinese people have created something on this land. The most brilliant agricultural civilization of mankind.

For a long time in history, the ocean in the east and the mountains in the west and south have blocked foreign enemies from interrupting the beauty of China. However, this land is not peaceful either. China's enemies come from the vast northern grasslands.

Agricultural civilization has a crushing civilization advantage over nomadic civilization, but when it comes to military matters, due to the survival characteristics of the two civilizations, agricultural civilization has to be passive. It’s not that you can’t beat them, it’s that you can’t beat them most of the time. You can only wait for the other party to be fully prepared before attacking.

In order to defend against this only enemy, the Chinese took more than a thousand years to build the Great Wall. In order to protect the Great Wall, the Central Plains dynasties also spent a lot of financial and manpower.

The Great Wall is still breached again and again.

Even so, the Chinese still created the greatest agricultural civilization, and this land also has a very ideal geographical environment for the development of agricultural civilization.

Is there an environment more suitable for agricultural civilization than China? Yes, it's India.

India is only one-third of the area of ​​China, but before New China vigorously developed mountain terraces, India had more arable land than China. Moreover, most of their cultivated land is not divided into rotational cultivation, fine cultivation, and deep cultivation like China. India's cultivated land will grow wildly if seeds are scattered casually, and there is basically no need for people to take care of it.

Moreover, in many places, the crops are harvested three times or even four times a year, which is simply unreasonable.

From a geographical perspective, India is surrounded by the ocean on three sides. The Himalayas are insurmountable in the north, and the Suleiman Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains in the northwest are also inaccessible for large-scale entry. India is closely protected by these geographical environments, like being held in a cradle, with milk and honey flowing in the cradle.

In ancient times, India's only access to the outside world was the Khyber Pass in the Kabul Valley, tightly surrounded by the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush Mountains.

The narrowest point of the Khyber Pass is only 600 meters! In other words, if the ancient Indians wanted to build a Great Wall similar to China, they would only need to build 600 meters here at the Khyber Pass.

I will never understand why the Indians did not build a checkpoint here. Any checkpoint can make the Indian subcontinent worry-free in ancient times.

From the earliest Aryans to the Turks after the Timurid Empire, all enemies drove down from this mountain pass, and it was as convenient as entering a public toilet.

What would happen if there was a Qin Shihuang in ancient India? There is no need to think about what if, the land there is too fertile and comfortable, so it will never be able to breed talents like the First Emperor.

Precisely because it is too comfortable and too lazy, starting from the earliest Aryans, every enemy will successfully and completely conquer India and become the master of India. The ancient Indians of the four major civilizations have long since disappeared without a trace, including their people and species.

But because they are too comfortable and lazy, coupled with the exaggerated assimilation ability of agricultural civilization, every enemy is very capable when they come, but they will soon become extremely lazy, and then the next powerful one will appear. The enemies who were beaten filed in from the Khyber Pass on horseback waving scimitars.

What goes around comes around.

Why don’t the Indians build a military checkpoint at the Khyber Pass? This is definitely one of the most incredible mysteries in human history.

In modern times, nomadic peoples were completely dead. Because of the emergence of industrial civilization, the nemesis of nomadic civilization, no matter how fast horses or sharp bows and arrows were, they were no match for cannons and rifles.

It no longer mattered whether the checkpoints at the Khyber Pass were built or not, and no one came in from there anymore. The latest invader came from the sea, and the British Empire came.

In fact, it was not the British Empire that conquered India, because it was only one company of the empire - the East India Company.

The British held foreign guns in their hands and were more powerful than their invader predecessors. Wherever they went, Indians descended upon the wind. The entire subcontinent was decided by the British. The Indian people sang and danced and drank pots of pulp to welcome the king.

For thousands of years, these feelings have been engraved in the bones of Indians, and they feel familiar when licking them.

But the British and their Indian servants encountered stubborn resistance at the southern foothills of the Himalayas, where they were slaughtered to pieces by the heroic Gurkhas.

On the one hand, the mountain people here are tough and martial. Another important reason is that the British are not good at fighting in the mountains. The Gurkhas wielded machetes in their hands and walked as if on flat ground in the mountains and ridges. None of them could run to death, and they were not afraid of death.

The British are not willing to pay too much to conquer this place, and they have one more weapon - money.

Seeing money, the Gurkhas transformed into the death squads of the British and made great contributions to the British conquest of India.

It is indeed very good at fighting, and it is rare to have good organization. After that, the Gurkhas became the Foreign Legion of the British army and fought many tough battles with the British in World War I and World War II.

The Gurkha Company, composed of Gurkhas, became famous and became the embodiment of invincibility.

Of course, not every old, weak, women and child in Gurkha are good at fighting. The army composed of the most capable young and middle-aged people is basically maintained at about 300 people. They adhere to the style of mercenaries and fight for money. This is also the most important thing for the Gurkha people. main source of financial resources.

The Gurkhas, who are composed of an ancient clan society, are bound to be led by bravery. Among them, the Sharma family has been their leader from the beginning, because the Sharma family is the best at fighting and has been the best at fighting for generations.

The Gurkhas only have first names but no surnames, and so does the Sharma family. All the men in their family are named Sharma, because this name has become the most awesome thing among the Gorkha people. The name "Sharma" represents the leadership status of the Gurkha people.

In order to distinguish them easily, the father will be called Old Sharma, the eldest son will be called Big Sharma, and the younger son will be called Little Sharma.

The Gurkhas proudly exist in the world's military field, and the companies they form have a strong special forces nature. But the military glory of the Gurkhas was ended within twelve years.

In 1951, the Gurkha Company went to Korea to fight as part of the United Nations Army. During an operation to meet the cold army, the Gurkha Company encountered a Chinese army that was out for reconnaissance.

The Gurkhas, who are good at mountain warfare, were ambushed by the Chinese army in the mountains. After more than a hundred people were killed on the spot, the rest raised their hands and surrendered. Among those who died, there was Great Sharma.

After being captured, the Gurkhas were escorted to the north. Unwilling to fail, the company leader Sharma launched a mutiny midway, resulting in the sacrifice of a volunteer sentry and five other soldiers.

The army that captured them was a reconnaissance battalion of the Volunteer Army.

The battalion commander was furious and ordered all the remaining Gurkhas to be killed on the spot. No one was spared. Old Sharma also died.

Later, after the war, the divisional reconnaissance battalion was reorganized into a reconnaissance company, and later evolved into a special agent company of the mechanized infantry regiment. Later, a soldier named Jiushan appeared in the spy company.

The demise of the regiment in Chaoxian caused the Gurkhas to lose their most elite group of warriors, but they would not let the glory of their ancestors disappear like this. So, ten years later, they had another elite company, and the little Sharma of the Sharma family was among them, and he was the company commander.

In 1962, China and India went to war, and the Gurkha Company participated in that famous war with the famous mountain elite Jack Regiment of the Indian Army.

As everyone knows, Jack's team was wiped out because instead of surrendering, they actually dared to escape.

The Gurkha company was once again wiped out, because instead of surrendering, little Sharma was shot dead by the frustrated PLA soldiers. In this heroic regiment of the People's Liberation Army participating in the war, there was a battalion commander named Mu, who was nicknamed "Crazy Mu" in the military. Many years later, his son established a cultural company to inherit traditional Chinese culture, and his friends called him Lao Mu.

This time completely ended the ability of the Gurkhas to form an organized army. From then on, they could only serve as mercenaries as individual stragglers, or simply as mountain folk.

Seven months after the death of little Sharma, his wife who stayed at home gave birth to a boy. This was his posthumous son and the only male left in the heroic Sharma family.

This child, like his ancestors, was also called Sharma. He was born with a blood feud with the Chinese.
