Shah Jahan didn't wait for the two to be confused, and continued to add: "In the Mumbai war, Ben Khan will not force you, just wait to exhaust the supplies of the Ming army, but you must ensure that you must not let the Ming army escape, can you do this?" ”

Max and Anthony didn't expect him to say such a thing, and they were both slightly stunned. After Max came back to his senses, he quickly nodded and agreed: "The Great Khan is wise! ”

"Rest assured, our combined fleet will inevitably trap the Ming army, and as long as the Ming army dares to leave those islands, it will definitely be able to defeat them." Anthony was also immediately assured.

Although they said this, both of them wondered, what happened before just now, what is the content of this eight-hundred-mile expedited?

"Good!" Shah Jahan's expression didn't seem so ugly, and after praising it, he continued to say to the two of them, "As long as you take Mumbai, Ben Khan decides, this Mumbai will be used by you to settle down." In addition, your people can go wherever they want, it doesn't matter what kind of business they do, Ben Khan is not restricted, so okay? ”

When Max heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Thank you for the generosity of the Great Khan!" ”

"We Dutch people will surely remember the Great Khan!" When Anthony heard this, he quickly said, "We will cheer for winning the friendship of the Great Khan!" ”

With such a promise as Shah Jahan, it means that the entire Mughal Empire is open to them. Both of them, at this time, their eyes were shining, and their joy was beyond words.

Shah Jahan listened to the good words of the two of them, looked at their demeanor, and suddenly changed his words and said: "But you remember one thing, we do business, Ben Khan doesn't need your money, just your guns, and cannons, you exchange guns and cannons!" ”

In the battle with the Ming army, the performance of the Ming army's flintlock pistols and artillery was far better than that of the guns and cannons in the hands of the Mughal soldiers, which made the Mughal side suffer a great loss.

When the Mughal Empire and the Persian Empire fought before, they were both arquebuses, and they didn't feel how bad the burning stick in their hands was, but this time, Shah Jahan really felt the gap. Therefore, he made such a request to Max and Anthony.

Max and Anthony couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they never expected that Shah Jahan would offer to buy and sell no money, just guns as currency.

So if there is more business with the Mughal Empire, and they have more and more flintlock guns and artillery, won't the advantage of both sides become smaller and smaller? After that, you can really only do business in a proper manner?

If you really want to do business in a proper manner, then why do you have so many warships? How much profit can you make......

Thinking so, Max and Anthony glanced at each other in unison. Then, Anthony turned his head and was about to talk to Shah Jahan, but he heard Shah Jahan speak first: "Also, Ben Khan has decided to build a sea army, and you have to send people to help Ben Khan build ships and train troops, how about it?" ”

"What? And to help the Mughals build a fleet? Max and Anthony couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when they heard this. This Shah Jahan is really good at doing business?

At this time, Max was a little impulsive, and directly helped the Ming army kill Shah Jahan!

Seeing that both of them were stunned, Shah Jahan frowned and snorted, "What, don't you want to?" Weren't you glad just now? ”

Hearing this, Anthony came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Great Khan, we don't have any extra guns!" ”

"yes, we don't have any extra guns!" Max also complained, "All the way back and forth, the sea is not safe, these guns are to ensure our safety along the way." ”

"That...... This ......," Anthony thought for a while, but still said, "We only bought the battleship from China, and we didn't build it ourselves." ”

"That's right, Great Khan, what you can use, you may not necessarily do!" Max hurriedly chimed in, "If the Great Khan is worried about the safety of the sea, we will definitely be fine." ”

Hearing that neither of them wanted to use guns and warships to do business, Shah Jahan was not happy, and suddenly shouted with a dark face: "Ben Khan wants your guns and warships, this business, whether to do it or not, in a direct word, Ben Khan doesn't have this kung fu ink!" ”

Max was a little dumbfounded when he heard his final words, this Mughal is really capricious, he agreed to do business from the beginning, step by step to this day, and then put forward these unacceptable requirements to achieve the purpose of trade, isn't this a pit for himself?

On the contrary, Antony has been in the Far East for so many years, and has relatively rich experience in colonial business, and after a little thought, he finally said to Shah Jahan: "Since the Great Khan insists on this, I will do everything for the friendship between the two countries." But one thing is good, whether it is a gun or a cannon, it is very expensive. Also, I can go to the country to find craftsmen to build warships for the Great Khan, but the cost will definitely not be low. You also saw the power of these battleships......"

Hearing this, Shah Jahan waved his hand without hesitation and said, "All this is fine, as long as you are sincere in doing business with Ben Khan." ”

"I'm fine with Britain, I'm sure I'm willing to do business with the Great Khan." When Max heard it, whether he wanted it or not, he could only be like Anthony, otherwise, he would be out of the game after working hard for so long, which was not acceptable to him.

"Good!" When Shah Jahan heard this, he made another request: "That Ben Khan has something to go back first, and this place will be handed over to Darashiko, and in addition, he will continue to transfer troops to consume the supplies of the Ming army." For the sake of our pleasure in trading, how about you first give Ben Khan 500 guns each as a deposit? ”

"......" Max and Anthony were dumbfounded again when they heard this. They felt that this Shah Jahan was too difficult to deal with.

Looking at Shah Jahan's posture, he must do it, otherwise, he may turn his face at any time.

So, they didn't agree or disagreed, but, in terms of numbers, they bargained with Shah Jahan.

Eventually, it was agreed that a total of 500 guns would be given as a deposit, but that the English and Dutch would be given privileges and no taxes should be charged in the future business.

After the negotiation was settled, Shah Jahan urged him to hand over his guns immediately. Then he did not stop, and immediately led the cavalry away.

Seeing Shah Jahan leave in such a hurry, both Max and Anthony felt that something big must have happened in the Mughal Empire, otherwise, Shah Jahan would definitely not be so abnormal. However, they don't know what the big deal is. can only guess, it must be related to the Ming army.

However, in their opinion, with more than 10,000 or so Gushi Khan's troops, it should not cause a major blow to the Mughal Empire.

They just thought about these things and didn't care about them. Their focus is on Shah Jahan himself.

Back on the flagship, I heard Anthony say to Max: "This Shah Jahan is too cunning to deal with. And I have a feeling that if there is no Ming army, Shah Jahan may make more demands after getting our guns and cannons, and may even turn around and break the contract. ”

"Well, I feel it too, this Shah Jahan is too shrewd. Just grasp us about the things that want to open the door of the Mughals. Max said this, and couldn't help but miss the Safavid side.

Anthony listened to him, although he knew that there were no people from the Mughal Empire around, but he still looked left and right, and then said to Max: "Otherwise, we support Darashiko, this fool is easy to control, let him get the throne of the Mughal Empire, how about it?" ”

Max's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea! But then after thinking about it, he asked again: "It's just that we don't know much about the situation in the Mughals?" ”

"It's easy, let's feast Darashiko, don't you get his words." Anthony immediately said, "I've seen a lot of people like this Darashiko. ”

So, the two of them agreed on a strategy and went to contact Darashiko.

………………

The Ming army, to be honest, was attacked by Shah Jahan continuously, although each time the Mughal army was easily beaten back. However, the consumption of gunpowder is increasing.

If it weren't for the fact that the navy had not moved and could have been moved to the army, the gunpowder would have run out.

Therefore, Yan Yingyuan was already feeling the pressure. If it weren't for Xiyi's fleet, then Mumbai's side would not have so many difficulties in replenishing supplies from the sea.

Thinking so, he began to plan his next move, what should he do?

But at this moment, Shah Jahan led all the cavalry troops to leave suddenly, and this anomaly made him very happy. As I guessed, it was definitely too much pressure from the north that forced Shah Jahan to return immediately.

Therefore, he immediately convened a military council to discuss the situation.

As soon as Yan Yingyuan told him about the situation, Li Dingguo immediately went out and said: "My lord, as long as Shah Jahan really leads the cavalry to return north, the last general is willing to raid the enemy army and annihilate the enemy in front of him in one fell swoop!" ”

He had fought the Mughal armies for the longest time, so he was most familiar with the enemy. When he said this, he naturally had a great deal of confidence.

"Oh, what do you want to do?" When Yan Yingyuan heard this, he remained silent and just asked.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately replied: "My lord, the most elite army of the Mughal Empire is the army led by Shah Jahan, and as for those who remain, most of them are local armies. And these Mughals have one characteristic, that is, laziness. As soon as Shah Jahan left, the great prince alone would never be able to deter the army as Shah Jahan was when he was there. Therefore, our army shows the enemy weakness, arrogant military morale, and then makes a surprise attack, which will definitely succeed! ”

Yan Yingyuan listened, thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes! It's just that I'm consuming too much arms and drugs, so it's good to play such a drama with them. ”

On the Mumbai side, each side has its own plans, but no one knows how the situation will develop.
