Chapter 922: Coup
Where there is disaster, of course Dahua is not the only one.
All kinds of disasters are happening all over the world, some are serious and some are not so serious.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods....
When the floods occurred in Dahua, floods also occurred in the Ganges River Basin in India and the Jamuna River in Bangladesh.
However, the disaster relief performance of the two places varies greatly.
In Bangladesh, Dahua's disaster relief operation was not timely, at least thousands of people were drowned.
However, after the government reacted to the disaster relief, the death toll dropped sharply.
After the disaster victims are rescued and resettled, Dahua at least has enough food to feed these victims, so that these people will not starve to death.
Just doing this, those victims are already satisfied.
In the past, once a major flood occurred, life and death could only be left to fate.
Now, at least their lives are guaranteed.
In the Mughal Empire next door, the victims of the disaster did not even have this kind of protection.
The floods in the Ganges area are a little bit smaller than the floods in the Jamuna River.
However, during the transfer period, nearly tens of thousands of people died in the Mughal Empire, twice that of Bengal.
This is just the beginning, and tens of thousands of people will starve to death due to lack of food.
The grain production in the Ganges Plain has always been very high, but these grains were taken away by the Mughal rulers, and then sold to Dahua, who exchanged them for other commodities.
A large part of the food eaten by the disaster victims in Bangladesh comes from India.
Some disaster victims who knew the inside story have fallen into rage, which is simply outrageous. It is tantamount to their imperial court robbing their life-saving food and using it to save the lives of the disaster victims in the enemy country.
No matter how docile a lamb is, he can't stand this situation. Therefore, some more capable victims are inciting other victims to rebel.
However, very few responded.
The risk of rebellion is too great, and if you fail, you will lose your life.
And if we survived honestly and survived this wave of floods, we could live on for a few more years, or even more than ten years.
After all, floods on the Ganges are relatively rare, and this year has just been unlucky.
Delhi, Aurangzeb is also worried.
The victims actually wronged him. It's not that he didn't want to save the lives of those victims, it's just that he was incapable.
He ran out of food and sold it to Dahua.
It doesn't work if you don't sell them. The Huayuan you can earn by selling onions alone is too limited.
Without Huayuan, we cannot buy the machines of Huaguo, and we cannot develop.
If the country does not develop, there will be no hope, and it will still be annexed by Dahua in the future.
Compared with the life and death of some victims, he cares more about whether the whole country can maintain its independence.
Therefore, those disaster victims can only let them fend for themselves.
When Aurangzeb was worried, Dahua did not forget to add trouble to him.
Some people went to the disaster victims to publicize, saying that as long as they go to Bangladesh, they will have food.
As soon as these disaster victims heard that there was food to eat, their eyes lit up immediately, and they were more excited than satyrs seeing naked women.
Ever since, the army of disaster victims headed to Bangladesh hit the road.
After hearing the news, Aurangzeb quickly sent troops to intercept.
The behavior of these victims was simply slapping him in the face.
If these people were sent to Bangladesh, his face would be gone.
Furthermore, when these people arrive in Bangladesh and are rescued by Dahua, they will definitely be grateful to Dahua. Dahua has tens of thousands more labor force out of thin air. Isn't this an enemy.
As for whether preventing these people from surviving will kill many people, this Aurangzeb can't care so much.
In his eyes, these disaster victims are almost like his chickens and ducks.
For those who want face, it is nothing to lose a few poultry, but losing face is the big deal.
Therefore, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
Aurangzeb gritted his teeth, took out some personal pockets, and asked people to go to the disaster to build a few porridge sheds to give the victims a little hope.
Then, Aurangzeb summoned the ministers in the court to discuss what to do next.
What should I do?
When asked this question, the top officials in the Mughal Empire really wanted to go to Dahua to be an official.
If you go to Dahua to be an official, you definitely don't have to think about this kind of problem.
"The officials of Dahua are receiving all kinds of good news every day."
These ministers couldn't help but think.
"Perhaps, we can only use hypnosis."
A minister named Lamar said.
"Oh, what kind of hypnosis?"
Aurangzeb has become interested. No matter what the method is now, as long as someone can make a suggestion, he will be excited.
That appearance, just like a patient suffering from intractable diseases, no matter whether the old Chinese medicine recommended by others is reliable or not, he will be excited when someone recommends him.
This is the role of hope. Many people can live as long as there is an illusory hope hanging.
"It is to control the propaganda, deceive the people at the bottom, and tell them that Dahua is very bad, very bad, and the peasants would rather die in Dahua. Then tell them that Dahua is weak, and our army can easily kill them as soon as they pass by. Elimination. This will enhance the confidence of the people and their sense of satisfaction with their own lives.”
Lamar says
.
"This......"
Someone suddenly became speechless. Isn't this a self-deception and spiritual victory?
It's embarrassing for a single individual to do this.
If the whole country is like this, some thin-skinned ministers can no longer imagine that kind of scene.
That kind of picture would probably be a group of people holding steel knives and iron swords, not paying attention to Dahua's armored cannons, clamoring to hit Nanjing.
Simply, hot eyes.
However, Aurangzeb does not think so. Whether he is deceiving himself or others, he only cares about whether this method is effective and whether it can help him overcome the current difficulties.
Lamar's method, in Aurangzeb's view, cannot cure the root cause, but it can treat the symptoms.
As long as you can hide it from the people for a few years or more, that's enough.
As long as the people believe in this and have more confidence in the country, they will no longer be so obsessed with foreigners, and they will not be so obsessed with going to Dahua. They can unite to develop themselves, complain less, and work hard.
Even if we start a war with Dahua in the future, we can lose some sense of fear and increase morale.
Of course, Aurangzeb also knows that this subjective self-paralysis cannot change the objective power gap between the Mughals and Dahua.
But it doesn't matter, he just let the people indulge in this kind of self-deception, and he will not get lost.
Therefore, as long as it can appease the common people, he will continue to lead those sober elites to speed up reform and development.
When the strength catches up with Dahua, then the previous deception is not considered deception.
Aurangzeb imagined that kind of picture, and even had a little expectation.
