The first suggestion is not to advise Ling Chen to build a country. Although Ling Chen has already realized this, his 300,000 troops are completely alone in the South Asian subcontinent. But Liu Zheng still needs to remind him. If you don't build a country, what will you build?
company!
Liu Zheng's suggestion is to establish the East India Company with the backing of Liangzhou and Long Yan!
Let the Western Region Construction Corps transform from a group that combines militia, military and agriculture into a group that combines military, trade and commerce. This transformation sounds difficult, but in fact it is very simple to operate. Why?
Because products from Yintan City can be continuously shipped from the Western Region, Lingchen has a unique advantage in business.
No matter what era it is, India's caste system is quite staggering.
The same is true today. At this time, hundreds of princes, nobles, governors and warlords in India have amazing talents in luxury and licentiousness. They not only love elephants, tigers, gold and gems, but naturally also pursue various "luxury goods" from Silver Beach City.
, fine wine, soap and perfume. Their greed is surprising.
Ling Chen can capture them through trade, so it won't be a big problem.
The second suggestion is that while winning over the princes and nobles, we should also find ways to win over the people.
He who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world. This saying is universal no matter where he goes. Even in the colonies.
The most important reason why Britain was able to colonize India for more than a hundred years without violence is that they left many commendable things to India. That is industry. At that time, India's railway system and its advanced nature
and mileage, both ranking first in the world. Bangladesh produces the best jute in the world, so British textile machines began to be widely used here.
Liu Zheng suggested that Ling Chen follow suit and use the name of the East India Company to develop India appropriately, build factories, and rely on the Port of Bombay and some important ports to start trade with Western countries.
Secondly, the British established an effective civil service and legal system in India, implemented humanitarian laws, abolished many Indian local laws, and made necessary interventions in India's deep-rooted caste system. They also issued the "Exclusion of Caste"
The Incapacity Act declares that caste rights must be unconditionally subordinated to government decrees and that certain Indian residents shall not be deprived of their property and inheritance rights because of religious beliefs and caste.
The third suggestion is to crack down on religious conflicts and open schools to help people get rid of ignorance.
Naturally, this has nothing in common with Britain's previous practice. But Liu Zheng believes that it is very necessary.
You must know that in fact, India was truly stable and stable in its previous life under the rule of the British. Instead, it was their "national leaders", the three independence heroes, Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah, who were all qualified as British lawyers.
This proves that in terms of political civilization, he was blinded by national sentiment and behaved very lowly.
Nehru was an admirer of the Soviet planned economy, and Jinnah was an Islamist.
Gandhi was even more extreme. He opposed industrial civilization and scientific rationality, and advocated rural communes and natural ignorance as the source of happiness for Indians. It was his ideas that allowed the caste system to re-emerge in India, causing religious vendettas, displacement, and war.
