Reborn In 17th century India with Black Technology

After spending a few hours in the city, the entourage of his majesty—or should I say the bait—finally left. However, every move of the entourage was noted by the lookouts arranged by the Mughal remnants. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to these Mughal remnants, their every action was closely observed by the much more professional intermediate and senior agents of Bharatiya Internal Pragya.

Every move of the Mughal remnants was communicated through a secret sign language to the entourage In order for them to be prepared.

In a forest clearing, Zameer and his men eagerly waited for their target to arrive in order to launch the ambush.

"Janab, they are coming!" the Chotu excitedly pointed at the end of the road.

Zameer, whose expression had been calm until now, suddenly became excited. He could no longer control his facial muscles, which slowly revealed a bloodthirsty arc.

Zameer and his men picked up the muskets they had managed to save before their main family was liquidated and looked down the sights with trembling fingers.

"Come on, come on!"

This was the chant in everyone’s hearts as they were all filled with adrenaline, their muscles tense ready to pull the trigger at any movement. Even the sweat pouring down their foreheads could not make their eyes blink.

The target eventually came, and the gunshot rang out.

"Bang!"

The shot went off as expected, but something felt wrong. Zameer sensed that the sound had come from somewhere behind him, and he felt something liquid splatter onto his back. Hesitantly looking behind, he was horrified to see that the 16-year-old’s head had been blown to pieces, and it was his remains that had splattered on him.

"Ahhh!"

He screamed loudly, which triggered continuous gunfire from all over the forest.

Zameer, no matter how prepared he was to assassinate the emperor, was ultimately just the illegitimate son of a Mughal landlord who had been lucky enough to escape; so he did not have much experience in battle.

His group of 84 men was ambushed by the agents of Bharatiya Internal Pragya, armed with the Shikari C70 Sharpshooter rifles.

Zameer knew he had been outplayed, but his last glimmer of hope was to quickly rush the Bharatiya Emperor and hold him hostage in order to survive.

"Take that pig as a hostage; we can still win!" he roared as he rushed toward the entourage.

The few people who were still alive heard the shout and followed their leader with bloodthirsty expressions on their faces, ready to risk it all.

But sadly, they had been calculated against once again. As this group of forty or so people rushed toward the entourage, the entourage did not look surprised; instead, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

These people actually took out the Hastha Dwani hand cannons and blasted them toward the enemies, blowing them to smithereens.

"Ahhhhhhh!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Lordddddd!"

Even the bait, sitting within the carriage, took out a Brown Bess improved rifle and started firing.

Frag grenades began to fly out, destroying any chance of escape.

The planning of several months and the resources of several thousand varaha culminated in a battle that lasted only a few minutes.

Broken limbs, scattered body parts and the bloody crimson road were the only things that was visible on the battlefield.

Naturally, the mission was successful, as the rebel leader Zameer and his group were completely eliminated.

---

Zameer’s group was an unorganized and untrained group of youngsters who did not have much military knowledge or experience, so wiping them out was considered normal. Groups similar to his were the majority in various northern cities of the Bharatiya Empire. The problem was not just with wiping them out; the challenge was to do so covertly without alerting the majority of the Empire’s citizens.

Given that more than 50% of the remnants were similar to them, this did not help the operation either. Fortunately, everything turned out for the better.

The more formidable groups in terms of military capability were those who actually had explosives and trained soldiers within their ranks, as they managed to take precautions against the counterattack of the Bharatiya Empire.

Fortunately, all the events ended with the victory of the Bharatiya Empire, aided by the involvement of newer firearms, especially the second-generation Shikari Rifles, which increased shooting accuracy, range and reduced sound, catching the rebels by surprise.

With all that being said and done, the result did not surprise Vijay much, as victory was expected and gaining victory without much repercussion was the actual price. In order to achieve absolute victory, Vijay had taken the approach of hitting an ant with a sledgehammer, absolutely decimating the Mughal remnants without giving them a chance to recover.

Even the metaphor of a hammer is insufficient to explain the precautions taken by Vijay, as he actually ordered the three special forces of the empire—namely, the Bharatiya Commando, Bharatiya Rangers, and Bharatiya Marines—to directly enter the battle and act as bait in order to wipe out the remnants as quickly as possible.

Vijay took his carefulness to such an extreme that he actually ordered the Sword of the empire, Sarvesh Rana Vikrama, to handle one of the operations in Lahore himself, personally.

That was no longer hitting the ant with a hammer; it was directly throwing an atomic bomb at the poor ant.

Sarvesh was happily enjoying his honeymoon with his lovely wife, Mahalaxmi, in his own state of Nepal, for which he had been appointed king. However, knowing the nature of the task, he was somewhat annoyed since it was not difficult at all, yet he still wholeheartedly obliged.

For the mission Sarvesh took over, even forces within the Ahom state were utilized, which made the rebels desperate. Seeing the hundreds of guns pointed directly at them, the rebels lost all colour in their faces, and their eyes became lifeless; in their minds, they died while cursing profusely,

"What the **** are these Bharatiya assholes going to war or what?"

"This force is enough to conquer some small cities in the neighbouring country."

"What the **** is this Vijay guy thinking?"

"If he wanted to kill me, why didn’t he just **** do so instead of putting on so much pretence?"

"Oh God, this is so unfair! **** **** ****."

With the end of the operation, monetarily speaking, nearly 3.3 million Varaha was expended on the operation that took two days.

Eventually, a few hours after the battle various panchayats received the news from their superiors, there was immediately an uproar among all the city administrators and their subordinates in the northern part of the empire as they immediately learned that His Majesty had encountered an assassination attempt in the forest outside the city.

"His Majesty is safe. The enemy has been subdued. It is suspected that there are informants for the enemy within the forces of the city. I order a total ban on the spread of information regarding the assassination attempt."

The city administrators and their main group of people immediately became alert and followed the order. The first thing they did was go to the place where the assassination attempt took place, dispose of the bodies of the enemy, and completely wipe away any clues in the area. Upon returning to their cities, they launched multiple events to avert the gaze of the common public.

In the end, each and every panchayat thought that His Majesty survived an assassination attempt in their own city. Without disclosing the information to anyone, the people remained in the dark.

Thankfully for Vijay, all the remnants picked a very desolate area for their ambush and not within the city, which would have increased the complexity of the plan.

A few days later, the isolation between each and every city was lifted, and as expected, no one talked about the assassination attempt anymore. Everything looked normal, except that the unstable factor in society for the Bharatiya Empire had disappeared.

The Muslims, though, noticed that many of their brothers had gone missing—145,000 to be exact—which was much higher than what Vijay had anticipated.

But the point is, the Muslims did notice the people missing, Fortunately, the troublemakers 135,000 people who had jumped out early were in custody, and their confessions and plans to assassinate the emperor of the Bharatiya Empire were immediately made public.

This caused an uproar, and the Muslims who heard the confessions lost all their kindness toward their brethren. As for what happened to the rest of the people who were not in custody, the official answer from the government was that they were put into prison, as their crimes were more severe, along with proof that were actually picked up from the ambush site.

This made the explanation much more believable. Given that the Police officer explaining the situation was actually a dharmic Muslim, it increased the authenticity of the claims made by the official forces.

In the end, the plan worked better than Vijay had ever anticipated, there wasn’t too much backlash from the Muslim community after the operation.

June 8th, 1658

"Yaeeeeeeeee!"

The command centre burst out in applause and cheers as the operation was a complete success. They had just received the last confirmation message from the intelligence handler in Lahore about the complete success of the mission.

Vijay, who had been intensely waiting for the news, was finally relieved. His thumping heart calmed down a little. He really did not want to completely banish all the Muslims from his empire, which could prove highly resource-intensive for a very, very, very long time, since Islam had already seeped into the bone marrow of the Bharatiya Empire.

Unless he wanted to massacre all the Muslims—which he did not—he would like to avoid the possibility of banishing them. Hence, he had full support for the conversion and integration of Muslims.

At the end of the day, he secretly left Nagpur, replaced his body double in Chera Nadu, and finally reached the capital as if nothing had happened.

P.S. P.S. Correction it is 135,000 who were arrested not 35,000 like I mentioned in Weeding Plan 2
