.Or Xiaozhen?

Since the French "special zone" can smuggle goods into the British "dominated corps", there will be either a shortage of "dominated corps", or the goods in the "special zone" are cheaper than the "dominated corps". Doesn't Governor Hopgrant love the people very much? If there is such a thing that benefits the people, can he still interfere?

Governor Grant certainly needs to interfere?

The reason why he interfered was not only because of the large amount of smuggling activities that would affect the tax on which his autonomous government relied for survival, which would cause a large amount of civilian wealth to flow out and directly impact the industrial and agricultural development of his autonomous government. He also had a more worrying thing, which was that those cheap foreign goods would cause the "subjects" of his autonomous government to have an extremely "respecting foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries, so that the little people's hearts that he had finally gathered together would be dispersed in an instant.

Of course, Grant's sense of crisis is by no means nonsense.

He had carefully analyzed every commodity smuggled by the Frenchman, and the types of these smuggled goods were very wide, from essential tools for industrial and agricultural production, to daily necessities such as cloth, to some food, as long as it was needed and hidden by his dominion, it was almost everything.

These smuggled things that were either sold at a price that was "deadly expensive" or were sold at a lower cost than the production cost of his production. Although they did not publicly state who was produced from, Grant could still assert with certainty that none of these things were produced by the old ghost of the Mentorban himself, but they were all imported products from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

What does Governor Grant do on Deccan Peninsula?

In the past, he wanted to take over the entire Indian subcontinent for his British Empire.

Now, the primary task his British Empire needed to do was to better restrict the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and build a solid bridgehead here for his British Empire.

Therefore, the move by the old ghost of Mentoban to him is far from a simple commodity smuggling issue, but a provocation act carried out by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government to his British Empire government.

He also concluded that the so-called smuggling was just an outpost battle that the two Chinese and French families were about to carry out on him, a truly bloody, planned and premeditated offensive.

Therefore, he must respond firmly.

So, Grant used all kinds of powerful means to crack down on all smuggling activities.

As expected, as Grant expected, his "critical crackdown. At the beginning of the "Cai.com, the old ghost in the Mengtuoban could no longer sit still. The ordinary smuggling that seemed to be among the people in the past immediately became the so-called civilian armed smuggling. Subsequently, the border friction between the "special zone" and the "autonomous lord" broke out one after another.

Damn Gauls, I'm telling you to disappear completely from under my nose!

Grant is red-eyed.

Keep your anger in peace. Before the last resort, don’t easily open up another battlefield for the imperial government in Asia, especially the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government should not give any excuses to intervene in India!

Repeated warnings from the highest levels of the imperial government curbed Grant's several impulses.

However, not being able to fight at the moment does not mean that you are not preparing for a fight in the future. Grant faced the provocation of the old ghost of the Mentoban, he made polite, well-founded, and conservative rewards, while also hurriedly doing all preparations before the war in secret.

In June 1867, in order to cut off the Suez Canal, the maritime transportation line from Marseille to Shanghai, the Allies fought a war with the Allies' Allies, France, Italy and Austrian coalition forces. Taking this opportunity, Grant immediately dispatched some of his Indian fleet's main forces to join the battle group, and was unwilling to be lonely on the Deccan Peninsula. He also severely curbed the Mentorian team for a while.

With the response of a group of so-called "Medore volunteers", a group of so-called "Medore volunteers" overthrew the Mahi government, which was isolated on the west coast of the Deccan Peninsula and part of the special area of ​​Pondicherry in France, and more than a thousand French Mahi government officials and French soldiers were "gifted out of the country".

Afterwards, Maxi quickly announced his official engagement in the arms of the Deccan Dominion, which symbolized the free world, under the unanimous and strong appeal of the "liberated Maxi people."

In just less than a month, Mahi of France became part of the Deccan Domination of the British Empire. According to Grant's estimate, the old ghost of the Mentoban will definitely be furious this time, and he must try his best to give up his color to vent his anger.

But the result was that in the face of such a vigorous and vigorous move, the Mengtuoban immediately sent personnel to Hyderabad and rushed to Hyderabad to protest with him seriously, but he never responded again?

Grant was a little vague because this was not the character of Mentoban!

As the saying goes: Know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.

When Mengtuban came to Pondicherry to take office, Grant, who had had several contacts with him, had a strong sense of responsibility and through other channels, basically had a very detailed understanding of all aspects of his current opponent. He could even proudly say that now, he is very familiar with the temperament of the old man Mengtuban.

In Grant's view, the Mentorban is a person who refuses to suffer any losses.

In fact, for Grant in 1867, there was one thing he had never expected.

This means that if there were no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government that led tens of millions of Chinese descendants to restore the country, Hopgrant would not only not become a mortal enemy with the Kuzan Mengtoban, but also on the contrary, they would become a pair of comrades who share weal and woe. As early as seven years ago, they joined hands and took their respective subordinates to take Dagukou first, then fought against Balizhuang, and then stepped into the Forbidden City of the "Qing Dynasty," and finally directed a drama of "burning the Old Summer Palace".

A person who would never suffer a loss can still swallow his anger when he suffered a great loss. There is only one answer, that is, the old ghost of Mengtuoban is like him, and must be subject to some concerns of his government.

As soon as the problem was figured out, Grant's courage became much stronger.

Less than two months after Mahi got in the way, another "local" Pondicherry far from Mentoban was isolated in a port town in a corner of the northeast of the Deccan Peninsula. In the south of Asia, it was also attacked by so-called "voluntary people" in Hyderabad and Gerconda.
