What is the final result of the Indian people's anti-colonial struggle?

In May 1857, 1 1, an anti-British uprising finally broke out in Delhi. The rebels killed most colonial officials in the capital and burned down the offices of the East India Company. All the British who survived escaped from Delhi. Many British people painted their faces black and put on Indian clothes. Many people died of hot weather and hardships on the way, and many people were killed by nearby villagers. Rebels took control of downtown Delhi, raised the green flag of Mughal dynasty in Hongbao, pushed the 82-year-old last Mughal emperor to the throne, announced the restoration of Mughal empire, called on all Hindus and Muslims to unite under the banner of the emperor to carry out anti-British jihad, and set up a military and political management committee to issue various decrees.

The great national uprising that swept through north-central India shook the British colonial rule. Unwilling to fail, the colonial authorities began to send troops to suppress the uprising.

The British siege was first directed at Delhi, the capital of the rebels. British troops attacked Delhi from Punjab in northwest Delhi. British and Indian Governor Canning ordered Ensen, commander-in-chief of the British army in Simla at that time, to mobilize troops from Punjab and recapture Delhi.

On September 14, after making full preparations, the British army divided into five roads and launched a general attack on Delhi.

Under the heavy artillery bombardment, two British troops rushed into the city through the gap in the city wall, and the two sides launched a fierce street battle. After six days and six nights of repeated fighting, more than 5,000 British soldiers were killed, two of the four commanders were killed and two were injured. On the night of June 5438+09, the insurgents led by bakht Khan retreated from Delhi after causing heavy casualties to the besieged British army. After the fall of Delhi, the British army marched for three days, burning and looting, and the bodies were pillow-ridden, and the blood flowed like a river, which was terrible.

After this disaster, Delhi became a dead city.

The emperor refused to accept the suggestion that the rebel army and the army should break through and was captured by the British army. Three princes and grandchildren were beheaded immediately. After the British captain Henderson killed Wang Sun, he immediately took a handful of blood and drank it. After drinking, he said, "If I don't drink their blood, I will go crazy."

Later, he gave Wang Sun's head to the emperor and said, "This is a gift from the company. It's been a long time. "

Seeing the heads of his young son and grandson, the emperor restrained himself in surprise and turned his head and said, "Thank God! The descendants of Timur did not humiliate their ancestors! "

Many princes and grandchildren were imprisoned for hard labor. Once they don't finish their work, they will be whipped and killed in a few days. One day, one of the emperor's sons, unkempt and unkempt, appeared in the forest near Delhi on horseback, and Henderson chased him everywhere. Since then, the prince has disappeared and has never been heard from again. Many princes and princesses left Delhi and became vagrants. In order to survive, one princess married an Islamic kitchen worker and another princess worked as a maid in a Christian girls' school.

The emperor, queen and prince were taken to Burma and imprisoned, and later died in Yangon prison.

At this point, the Mughal Empire was declared dead under the iron hoof of British colonial rule, and the ancient Indian civilization with a long history came to an end.
