To become the commander of the Gurkha troops, you must learn the Gurkha language. This is an express requirement of the British army.
Relatively speaking, the army that Mars Howard managed before had a Gurkha company, so he had already been exposed to the Gurkha language, and it was relatively easy to learn.
It was a bit difficult for Rock. Rock had never been exposed to Gurkha before, so he had to learn it from scratch. The teacher responsible for teaching Rock was named William Andrew. This was a writer and translator who was very familiar with many minority languages.
According to research, Rock's time is limited and he must spend at least two hours every day learning Gurkha.
"Time is tight, and I'm not sure how long we can stay in India, so you have to take classes with me every day." Luo Ke asked Guan Jing and Geng Biao to also study together. Before Geng Biao could react, Guan Jing said
Happy face.
If Gurkhas are to be added to the new First Cavalry Division, a number of new positions will appear. If Guan Jing and Geng Biao can learn the Gurkha language in advance, they will have an advantage. This opportunity does not come often.
Yes.
"We are all here to learn Gurkha dialect. What will happen to the troops?" Geng Biao still doesn't understand how valuable this opportunity is, and I'm afraid he won't care much if he does.
Everyone has their own ambitions. Compared with Guan Jing, who is obsessed with climbing up, Geng Biao is more willing to do specific work. It doesn't matter if he can't climb up. Someone always has to do the work.
"Stop talking nonsense, you can learn from me." Luo Ke didn't explain, but directly ordered Geng Biao to shut up. Although Geng Biao often made mistakes, among Guan Jing and Geng Biao, Luo Ke was indeed the better one.
I like Geng Biao.
More than 2,000 Gurkha soldiers entered the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, and the originally spacious military camp was suddenly overcrowded. Fortunately, those Gurkha soldiers did not have any requirements for conditions. As long as they could eat well and wear warm clothes, they would get the goods at the end of the month.
With a sufficient salary, you will work hard for your employer.
Rock did not treat these Gurkha soldiers badly. Fortunately, a week later, after the supply ship from Port Edward arrived in Dhaka, Rock sent some Gurkha mercenaries back to Nyasaland, and the military camp suddenly became quiet.
.
They are not quiet either. According to the regulations of the new First Cavalry Division, these Gurkhas must undergo complete training for up to six months in the new First Cavalry Division before they can become official members of the new First Cavalry Division. Therefore, in the military camp
It was very lively every day. There were a total of five companies of mercenaries staying in Dhaka. Rock transferred some officers and soldiers from Company A to temporarily serve as officers and was responsible for the basic training of new recruits. Everything was in order.
The riots in the Nakra area did not completely subside. After the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division and the 21st Battalion withdrew, the rebels came back. This time, Lakshmi's entire family was unfortunately killed. The rebels killed all the heads of Lakshmi's family.
Cut them off and pile them in front of Lakshmi's house to show their unyielding attitude.
"Lord, take your troops to Nakra. This time you will be stationed there permanently. I have only one request. No matter what method you use, this kind of thing must not happen again." Lord Belloc was going crazy, Laksh
Although Mi is greedy, lazy and incompetent, he is a real pro-British faction. Now that his family has been exterminated, Lord Belloc's face is really disgraceful.
"Yes, Lord, I will go right away." Roque did not refuse. There was only one local king, Lakshmi, in the Nakra area. Even if the rebels wanted to continue to commit crimes, they would have no one to target.
The next day, Rock ordered the troops to set off. Not only the newly formed First Cavalry Division, but also the newly recruited Gurkhas were also required to move with the troops. With these Gurkhas, Rock now had more than a thousand people under his command.
A soldier can walk sideways throughout Dhaka.
At this time, we can see the benefits of the Gurkhas. From check-in to Nakra, it is more than 100 kilometers. It takes ordinary troops almost two days to walk, but these Gorkhas do not have to. They have been walking in the mountains since they were young.
I don’t even have a pair of shoes, but now I have put on the military boots issued by the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, and walking is not a problem.
When the troops set off, Rock discovered that almost all the Gurkha soldiers were not wearing shoes.
Rock immediately called the quartermaster over.
Quartermaster Julian was very aggrieved and said that all military boots had been distributed in full and there was no shortage of supplies. It was just that these Gurkhas were reluctant to wear them. Some people even wanted help delivering the military boots as soon as they were issued.
Go home.
Roque will definitely not tolerate this happening, but he will not issue more shoes to the Gurkha troops. Each of these Gurkhas has dozens or hundreds of relatives, and no matter how many military boots they are issued, they will not be enough.<
/p>
But walking barefoot is not enough. The sanitary conditions these days are very poor. If there is a bump, it will cause trouble for the medical team, so Rock called the officers over and asked all Gurkha soldiers to
Everyone wears military boots and marches.
Many Gurkha soldiers looked very regretful, but they could still strictly carry out Rock's orders, which Rock liked very much.
When he returned to Lakshmi's house, the corpses in the courtyard and the view at the entrance of the courtyard had been cleaned up, but there were still dark red bloodstains on the ground, and bloodstains could be seen everywhere in the courtyard. Rock could imagine those traitors.
How tyrannical the army is. Although Rock doesn’t like Lakshmi, Rock hates those rebels even more.
If Lord Belloc wants it, Rock can live directly in Lakshmi's house.
However, Rock is definitely not willing to do so. Lakshmi's family is probably filled with ghosts now, and Rock doesn't dare to live there. It would be better to be stationed outside the town with the troops. Anyway, the temporary camp is very convenient.
Roque would definitely not let those rebels go, so after the troops settled down, Roque asked local officials to find out the situation.
"Lord, there are no officials in the Nakra area, and the only official is Lakshmi -" Tang En's report surprised Rock. He did not expect that India's grassroots administrative institutions at the beginning of the twentieth century were so primitive.
Not to mention the early 20th century, the early 21st century is similar to this.
"Then get some older people to come over." If he can get information, then Roque doesn't mind being a villain for once.
Soon, several old men with white beards and hair were "invited" by Tang En.
None of these people cooperated with Roque's inquiry. No matter what Roque asked, they didn't know anything about it.
Rock was not surprised by their attitude and immediately ordered Tang En to arrest the family members of these old men.
As a result, the old men immediately cooperated very well, and soon Rock knew the news he wanted.
There is no doubt that the rebellion in the Nakra region was caused by Lakshmi's greed.
The reason is very simple. The police chief of the Nakra area had a very beautiful wife. Lakshmi had been coveting her, so when the police chief was out on business, Lakshmi sent someone to snatch the wife of the police chief into his own home. p>
Of course, the police chief would not give up after he came back, so he led the police in the police station to plot a rebellion. Fortunately, Lakshmi also had insider information at the police station, so Lakshmi was able to escape in time.
The police chief’s name was Uslam. It was said that after killing Lakshmi’s family, he had fled to the nearby Bogola area. Rock didn’t believe that Uslam left so simply, unless Uslam wanted to
On the run, Uslam will come back sooner or later.
It was only then that Roque learned that Ustam's wife was not dead yet, but had returned to her parents' home. This news made Roque overjoyed.
So Roque immediately ordered someone to invite Ustam's wife. This time he really invited her, with no other intentions.
In order to avoid suspicion, Roque did not even meet Ustam's wife, but only asked people to let the news out. Roque believed that if Ustam knew the news, then even if Roque did not go to Ustam, Us would
Tam will come to you.
As long as Ustam dares to appear, then Ustam will die. Although Roque sympathizes with Ustam's experience, Roque will not be lenient. If he makes a mistake, he will pay the price.
He was so angry at his beauty that he pretended to send his wife back to her parents' home. This kind of behavior is courting death.
These days, it is actually very easy to get away with it. With the current level of household registration management, there is no need for Ustam to flee abroad. Even if he escapes a hundred kilometers and then hides his name, the Dhaka government will never be able to find him.
Ustam.
Although it is a temporary camp, it has everything it needs. The camp is surrounded by a prepared barbed wire fence. There are electric lights inside the barbed wire fence to provide lighting. There are armored vehicles at the four corners of the camp as defensive support. The soldiers' tents are located one hundred meters away from the barbed wire fence. This distance is already beyond the effective shooting range of many muskets. Even if the rebels want to harass the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division at night, they will not cause too much chaos.
Roque was still fully prepared. The troops had to take turns to rest, and there must always be a company that could be dispatched at any time. After arriving in Nakra Town, Roque announced that Nakra would impose a curfew at night. No matter what happened, anyone in Nakra Town
No one is allowed to go out for anything. Soldiers on patrol are given the right to shoot. If they find someone disobeying orders after the curfew, the soldiers can shoot and kill them directly.
It sounds a bit cruel, but in fact it is just a basic operation for the British army. If the rebels have not caused substantial damage to the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, otherwise Rock's revenge will be even more ruthless.
For three consecutive days, it was very calm and nothing happened.
Rock was not in a hurry and ordered the troops to train according to normal procedures. Not only the Gurkha troops who had just joined the army, but also the two companies of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division had to train together. Thousands of young men were all full of hormones.
, Rock can only use training to vent the excess energy of the boys. Otherwise, if so many people stay in the military camp doing nothing, some indescribable things will definitely happen.
This can be regarded as a tradition of the British army, otherwise why would it be called a corrupt country?
