Chapter 895: The Mughal Empire Littered with Corpses (4)
The Mughal emperor was very congested.
Money! What money does he have there? In order to resist the Qing army, he even mortgaged many of the treasures he had collected as an emperor for so many years as property, and no matter how much taxes were levied in the Mumbai area, there would not be much to collect, and he would have to raise the last remaining 100,000 troops to fight the final decisive battle with the Qing army.
In short, the Mughal emperor could no longer afford to buy more flintlock pistols from the Ming Dynasty.
"This, this ββββ" The Mughal emperor was very embarrassed and squeaked a few words.
"Da Ming has already received so much money from my Mughal Empire, can't you support my Mughal Empire flintlock pistol now, and when my Mughal Empire defeats the Qing army, I will definitely repay it twice!" The Mughal emperor came up with a way to get credit.
In any case, he wanted to use more flintlock pistols to fight the Qing army in this final battle, and he hoped to have a better chance of winning.
From the first invasion and plundering of the Qing army ten years ago, to the three wars of annihilation in recent years, whether it is a siege war or a decisive battle, the Qing army will win every battle, and the more than one million troops of his Mughal Empire have been defeated.
So much so that now, most of his Mughal empire has fallen and is facing a desperate situation.
Why was the Mughal emperor afraid of a decisive battle with the Qing army, even in the face of the Qing army's third war of annihilation, at the beginning, he obviously had as many as 150,000 flintlock pistols and a million ordinary troops, and his strength could be described as extremely strong, at least it would definitely not be worse than the Qing army.
At that time, if he tried his best to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, not to mention a fifty percent chance of winning, at least thirty percent, but the Mughal emperor did not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army at that time, but dragged it to the current desperate situation.
Isn't it because his Mughal Empire has never won in the face of the Qing army, and has always been defeated and defeated!
How can you let the confidence of the Mughal emperor not be hit.
Now the best decisive time has long passed, the morale of the army is weak, the morale is low, the odds of victory are at most one percent, and there is no way to retreat.
Want to take credit? Lu Yunzhang glanced at the Mughal Emperor with an eager face in surprise.
The Mughal Empire is by no means the opponent of the Manchu Qing, the destruction of the country is just around the corner, and now I still want to take credit with the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty can support a batch of flintlock guns first, how is it possible!
The corners of Lu Yunzhang's mouth hooked up a slight sneer, but in the face of the Mughal Emperor, Lu Yunzhang did not directly say a word of refusal.
"Your Majesty the Mughal Emperor, Da Ming can continue to provide you with more flintlock pistols!" LΓΌ Yunzhang not only did not directly refuse the Mughal Emperor, but made the Mughal Emperor think that the Ming Dynasty had agreed to his credit.
The Mughal Emperor was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, great, don't worry, the messenger is assured, I am the talker, after defeating the Qing army, I will definitely return the money to the Ming Dynasty twice!" β
Who wouldn't write a blank check, such a promise, Lu Yunzhang didn't listen to a word in his heart.
After leaving the place where the Mughal emperor lived, Lu Yunzhang took Liu Chang and other more than 20 Ming soldiers who were still in the Mughal Empire to quietly come to the beach in Mumbai.
"Our mission has been accomplished, there is no need to fight this great battle with the Mughal emperor!" Lu Yunzhang said to Liu Chang and more than two dozen Ming soldiers.
Liu Chang and the others nodded one after another, they have been in the Mughal Empire for more than three years, and have been helping the Mughal Empire train flintlock teams to resist the Qing army, and now the Mughal Empire has resisted the Qing army for so long, and the war has also covered most of the Mughal Empire with the continuous 'relocation of the capital' of the Mughal Emperor.
Now that their mission has been completed, it is time to return to Daming.
After a while, two Ming warships docked.
More than 20 people, including Lu Yunzhang and Liu Chang, passed through the boarding board and boarded the battleship.
The battleship began to slowly leave the coast.
At this time, a group of Mughal troops of hundreds of people suddenly rushed out, and a Mughal general led by him shouted to Lu Yunzhang on the battleship as he ran, hoping that Lu Yunzhang would give them an explanation.
The Mughal general was a close confidant of the Mughal emperor.
"Explain? Hehe, what's there to explain! Lu Yunzhang sneered indifferently.
Lu Yunzhang didn't bother to pay attention to it, glanced lightly at the hundreds of Mughal troops on the shore, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Seeing Lu Yunzhang's performance, the Mughal general was furious.
"Fire! Fire at them! The Mughal general pointed to the two Ming warships on the sea and roared.
Immediately, dozens of Mughal soldiers armed with flintlock pistols pointed their guns at the two Ming warships.
"Bang bang bang ββββ" white smoke rises into the air, and lead ejects from the chamber.
It is a pity that the flintlock pistol has a limited range, and it can no longer reach the two Ming warships that are more than two hundred meters away from the coast.
But it is also a provocation, a very serious provocation.
At least the Ming admiral who commanded these two Ming warships was angry, and the consequences were serious.
"I can't help myself! Blow that Mughal general to death! The Admiral Da Ming, who commanded the two ships, burst into a cold murderous intent in his eyes, and ordered.
The dozens of cannons on both battleships all adjusted their muzzles.
The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the hundreds of Mughal soldiers on the shore, especially the direction where the Mughal general was located.
"Bang-" The shell went into the chamber.
"Not good!" At this time, the angry Mughal army general reacted, and he was suddenly frightened and shivered, and wanted to turn around and flee, but it was too late.
"Boom, boom, boomββββ" dozens of cannons fired in a salvo.
The aura of death enveloped the Mughal general and the hundreds of Mughal soldiers around him, all of whom widened their eyes in horror and their faces were full of dead ashes.
Dozens of shells almost completely enveloped the area where hundreds of Mughal soldiers were.
There was a violent explosion, a sea of fire, and a splash of dirt and rubble.
The bodies of a large number of Mughal soldiers were torn apart by the shells, and the Mughal general was even more miserable, because the cannons on both warships were almost always aimed at him, and at least ten shells exploded directly beside him.
He only felt his body take off, and after a moment of intense pain, he lost consciousness. In fact, his whole body had been blown to pieces by the powerful force of the cannonball.
He has already gotten the fate of his impulsiveness, and I don't know if he will be impulsive when he is alive, if he realizes that his impulse will end so miserably, I don't know if he will be impulsive.
But it's too late to say anything.
The two Ming warships were just a round of shelling, so they ignored it and sailed towards the open sea with Lu Yunzhang and others, leaving behind the Mughal soldiers who suffered heavy casualties on the shore.
