The Revolt of the Three Feudatories: All-in at the start in Beijing

While the Han army was launching its western offensive, Liu Weiqing began constructing a temple and simultaneously spread the news throughout Bengal that he was about to establish an Indian kingdom.

The Hindus in the rural areas, regardless of their social class, even the lowest-ranking Shudras, were overjoyed and some even started dancing on the spot.

That's right, it's Bharatanatyam, which every Hindu must learn. They dance it when they're happy, and they dance it even more when they're unhappy.

At the same time, the name Liu Weiqing, the name of the Indian king Liu Weiqing, is also revered as a deity by Hindus and has been forcibly incorporated into their grammar, giving him a status equivalent to that of a protector of the faith.

Ten days, it's just ten days.

A temple to the Black God rose from the ground, though it was merely a pile of stones, built against the Governor's Palace castle, effectively making the Governor's Palace part of the temple.

The whole structure is very simple, and the only thing inside is a statue of Krishna, which was brought in from another temple and has been repainted and renovated.

With the Mughal emperor's counterattack imminent, Liu Weiqing had no time to meticulously craft the temple; he could only follow his uncle's example and do a haphazard job first.

If it were entirely constructed of massive stones, and then adorned with exquisite patterns and images, it would take at least three years to build a temple.

The Krishna temple was built primarily because of Krishna, the god most revered by Bengal Hindus.

This is tantamount to making Bangladeshis proud.

In fact, it was easiest for the people of the Central Plains to rule India because their beliefs, like those of people in business, were not pure and were naturally compatible with Hinduism.

……

In 1676 AD, the first day of the eighth lunar month in the Han Dynasty, the weather in Dhaka, Bengal was exceptionally hot and humid.

In the heart of Dhaka, outside the former Bengal Governor's Palace, now the Krishna Temple, a massive crowd had gathered, with representatives from all classes of Hinduism present.

Just as the sun reached its zenith, three thousand Han soldiers armed with flintlock muskets strode into the temple entrance and drove all the civilians a hundred paces away.

Then, a hundred Brahmins dressed in white priestly robes sat on both sides in front of the temple, chanting scriptures that were incomprehensible to them.

They represent the sacrificial ceremony!

After the scripture ended, one hundred Kshatriyas, dressed in chainmail and mirrored breastplates, stepped forward with swords and shields in hand, followed by the Brahmin procession.

They represent force and domination!

Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred Vaishyas and more than a hundred Shudras lined up behind the Kshatriyas, but they were not allowed to stand; they had to kneel with their foreheads touching the ground.

The Vaishyas represent merchants, farmers, and handicraftsmen.

The Shudras represent servants, serving the three classes mentioned above, and are already the lowest level.

As for Dalit, he's not human!

They are not eligible to participate.

Once everyone had arrived, the one who looked like King Bahubali, the Kshatriya Limadhav who was the first to step forward, struck his shield with his sword and shouted.

"Long live the King of India!"

Madhaf spoke the local Bengali language, and his shouts were so loud that everyone around him could hear him, instantly creating a buzz.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience shouted along.

"Long live the King of India!"

Moreover, as the shouts grew louder and more penetrating, even the pebbles on the ground seemed to tremble, and the water in the water tank rippled.

Just then, with a roar from the war elephant, a giant elephant with a shoulder height of 3.2 meters slowly entered the arena.

And standing behind him was Liu Weiqing!

At this moment, he was dressed in a black and red nine-chapter imperial robe, wearing a nine-tassel crown and holding an ivory tablet.

According to Hindu interpretation, he should be wearing a white-gold silk robe and a jeweled turban at this time.

However, Liu Weiqing first said that the outfit he was wearing was the exclusive clothing of the Indian king, and it was bestowed by Krishna, so the Brahmins couldn't do anything about it.

These Brahmins were knowledgeable; their ancient texts still contained records of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty had briefly established a tributary pacification commission near Hang Ge, and the embroidery on the commission clearly showed an Eastern style.

However, the Mughal emperors went too far, constantly demolishing their temples and forcing them to change their beliefs.

So no matter where this Indian king came from, they could only accept it by refusing to admit that he had come to support their faith.

Moreover, they are confident that if this generation of Indian kings does not change, his next generation will definitely change!

When the war elephants arrived at the temple, the mahouts immediately took control of them, making them kneel with their chins on the ground.

Liu Weiqing stepped on the head of the war elephant and walked step by step to the throne. The throne was carved from stone, and instead of Hindu patterns and gods, it featured two intertwined western dragons.

Liu Weiqing plopped down on it, then looked at Madhav in the crowd and nodded!

Madhav, who was paying close attention, immediately took a piece of parchment and came to the throne after Liu Weiqing nodded.

"Our India has a population of millions, yet we have been invaded for a century by the Mughal royal family and the Persian barbarians, bringing shame upon the gods. This is a disgrace to India!"

"Today, the god Krishna has manifested his power, sending King Liu Weiqing of India to restore our Hindu temples and liberate us from barbarian rule. May the whole world rejoice!"

"Please, gods, bestow your titles!"

As soon as Madhav finished speaking, an old Brahmin dressed like a beggar immediately came to the temple gate and began to have an epileptic seizure.

Finally, he spat out a mouthful of holy water and shouted!

"Long live the Lord of the Ganges!"

Upon hearing the title "Lord of the Ganges," some Indians were overjoyed, as it is their mother river, and they all shouted "Long live the Lord!"

Some people are very dissatisfied.

They think the perspective is too narrow!

In fact, honorific titles are similar to those on the grasslands, such as Li Shimin's Heavenly Khan or Liu Mu's Tengri Khan, both of which signify the highest level.

Madhav originally intended for Liu Weiqing to choose Badisha, meaning emperor or king of kings.

Or it could be Aqamgil, which, like the current Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, means world conqueror.

Of these two titles, "World Conqueror" can only be Liu Mu, and as for the title of "Emperor," he dares not accept it.

It was already a great favor that Liu Mu's uncle was so generous in allowing him to be the King of India. If he had been given the title of Emperor, his generals would have doubted his loyalty.

Especially those Mongol and Han generals, who were Liu Mu's staunch supporters, would most likely turn their troops against him if they knew that Liu Weiqing harbored rebellious intentions.

So, the master of Hengge is just right!

Liu Weiqing was radiant at this moment. He inserted the tablet into his jade belt, then shook his wide sleeves and raised his hands high.

"By the great Krishna, I, Liu Weiqing, upon assuming the throne of India, shall take it upon myself to expel the Mughal barbarians!"

"Offer sacrifices!"

With a loud shout from Liu Weiqing, the crowd was once again driven away by the Han army. More than a dozen Dutch merchants and more than two hundred crew members, crying and making a scene, were dragged to an open space by Indian executioners wielding large knives.
