The East India Company, which won the victory, has once again built troops. The territory has become larger and there are more industries to protect. In order to cope with new situations and new problems, it is understandable to expand the scale of the private army. However, shareholders quickly noticed that as the private armed forces of their companies gradually increased, there are fewer and fewer opponents on the South Asian subcontinent who can compete with them in tit-for-tat. What the East India Company is doing is the price difference between the transfer of grain, spices and industrial raw materials. The greater the control of the territory, it means that the more resources they have in their hands, the more profits the company will make and the more money they will fall into their pockets.

So when the shareholders of the East India Company looked around and found that the land full of gold on the opposite side occupied only a group of docile natives who were almost primitive and using swords. No one could suppress the gushing passion. The private army held the musket tightly and pushed down all the forces of resistance, leaving behind blood and corpses, and ran towards glory and wealth in a bloody manner - war, occupation, expansion of army. War, occupation, expansion of army again... This is the wealth formula of the barbaric era!

Greed is endless, especially when you hold a musket and face the sword natives.

Within the following years, as the investment scale continued to expand, the profit scale of the East India Company began to expand rapidly. The registered capital of the account they handed over to the British Parliament for consideration showed that its turnover had soared from 8 million pounds in 1794 to 13.5 million pounds in 1803, and the East India Company became the actual ruler of India! The area of ​​its rule was even far greater than that of the British Queen at that time.

Data about East India Company was stored in the underground storage room of the British Museum in the era when Wang Yi lived. This is also a good habit for the British, and all the old things are kept. Over time and with more things, there will be inheritance in concepts and traditions in life.

In contrast, although the Celestial Empire was known as an ancient civilization, it was actually a period of time from 1600 AD to the time when Wang Yi lived. The Ming Dynasty was dressed one, the Qing Dynasty was dressed one, the Republic of China, the Republic of China, the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the other was dressed another after the reform and opening up. Although the United Kingdom and other European countries are also changing, the context is clear and able to trace the roots. As for the concept, there is no need to think about it. Everything from ancient, modern, eastern, western, and heavenly dynasties was mixed together half-baked, let alone, it is also a feature. It is just that the foundation is less difficult to develop than Europe, so we can only choose to cross the river by feeling the stones.

The topic returned to the East India Company. After the powerful private armed forces, the East India Company lived a good life for decades. The choice they left to the indigenous people was very simple, with only two items, either die or surrender! For most natives, this was not a difficult choice. The difficult thing was the life after surrender, and perhaps life was not that sad. However, the difference in living habits and religion between the two sides continued to intensify the already profound contradictions. Decades of accumulation finally broke out completely in 1857. This was the famous Indian uprising!

Because the size of the local British people was limited, the East India Company quickly changed the approach of almost equal proportions of European soldiers and local soldiers. It adopted the method of governing local soldiers with local soldiers and recruited large quantities of local soldiers to maintain their rule. However, the British regarded themselves as strong people. Although many knowledgeable people demanded to improve the social status of the San, this was just to rule the San better, not to pursue social equality, so social contradictions still exist, and they were only occasionally alleviated. Most British bureaucrats certainly did not care about the ideas of the local soldiers under their command, so the fuse was finally ignited.

The British asked soldiers who believed in the A-San religion to apply bullets with tallow, and the cattle were respected in the A-San religion. The A-Sans, who could not bear it, finally began to resist and then became a prairie fire. The Muslim jihadist organization, who was also unbearable, also chose to stand on the side of the A-San religion, which was hard to imagine in later generations. They all served allegiance to Bahadur Sha I, the old emperor of the Mughal Dynasty. The war burned from Bangladesh to Punjab. After the fierce battle, the British won the victory and exiled Bahadur to Myanmar. At the same time, they almost killed all the princes as if they were venting. However, the victory was not perfect, and the population of India was sharply reduced, especially the young and middle-aged people suffered heavy losses. For everyone, this was a catastrophe.

As the saying goes, the enemy lost 1,000 and 800, and the British were not feeling well. The Indian uprising shook the foundation of the East India Company, leaving shareholders with both wealth and wealth. More importantly, the uprising had a strong impact on the British colonial system. The operation of the East India Company began to be supervised by public opinion and the government. The British Parliament, which finally seized the opportunity, began to directly intervene in Indian local affairs in 1858 and firmly grasp its sovereignty in the hands of the British government. The private armed forces of the East India Company were finally nationalized. This century-old store that had been storm and snow for 258 years began to collapse. The year before Wang Yi traveled, that is, in 1874, completely disappeared.

The position of Indian Governor General began to appear in 1773 and was granted to Warren Hastings. The more used name at this time was the Commander-in-Chief of Fort William, who shared power with the Supreme Council of five people, but had many contradictions. They were responsible for directly controlling and supervising East India Company officials in India.

In 1833, William Bentink, the third Duke of Portland, reformed the system in India and expanded the area of ​​rule. The Indian Governor became worthy of his reputation until then. By the way, if the marble had not been found, the Taj Mahal would have been completely demolished by this duke.

After the Indian Uprising ended, in 1858, the British royal family directly controlled India, and the Indian provinces applied for the title of governor from Britain. Charles Canning took over this position, which was actually to clean up the mess of the Indian Uprising. During this period, the Indian Governor was the representative of the royal family and was not under the jurisdiction of the British government. Because of its strong power, it gradually became the title of deputy king of India. The deputy king was the governor with great power, which was different from the meaning in our history books.

I would like to say that while the Indian uprising occurred, Britain was also experiencing the Second Opium War with the Qing court (1856-1860). Even with such a favorable external strategic environment, the Qing court was still defeated, which shows how corrupt this dynasty was.

The current deputy Indian king is Frederick Hamilton Temple Blackwood, Earl of Duffelin. Now, he was just sixty-one in 1887, and studied at Eton College and graduated from the Christian College of Oxford University. He served as the governor of Canada and ambassador to Ottoman Turkey. He is a famous British diplomat. Now he serves as the governor of India and leads the invasion of Myanmar. Speaking of which, he is the biggest enemy of Wang Yi now ruled in the southeast.
