As written before, this was the period of the rise of the Second Saudi Kingdom. Starting from 1843, Faisal returned to Najd, and the Saudi Kingdom (tribe) began to rise strongly.
The former ruler of Najd, Ibn Shunait, was a fanatical religious person. Although he went to war everywhere, captured cities and territories, and offended many people, he was finally drunk and kidnapped by his cronies and given to Faisal.
However, the new King Faisal chose a soft policy to integrate local forces, and at the same time began extensive marriage alliances and continued to curry favor with the British.
(The friendship between Britain and Saudi Arabia has a long history.)
At this time, Saudi Arabia was not that rich country. In 1846, the tax revenue of the entire Najd region was less than 100,000 pounds, and the population was less than 200,000. The main industry was sheep raising and wool harvesting.
Najd is nominally the territory of the Ottoman Empire, so the rise of the Second Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a threat to the Ottomans.
Let me reiterate, I may update very little, but I am not perfunctory.
Everyone can see today, and I am very grateful to be able to see it here.
But I still have to state again that there is no hydrology or perfunctoryness.
