Chapter 668: I also want to build a canal

Shashua wiped the sweat from his forehead and lamented in his heart: "I don't know when I will be able to get to Udaipur, let alone whether it is right or wrong?" ”

That's right, Shashua also ran away, taking the opportunity to go out of the city to patrol, directly brought his henchmen and subordinates, and then ran away.

Shashua's idea is very simple, staying in Agra is definitely not good, after all, staying under the nose of Daro Siqiao, maybe one day the head will fall to the ground.

Of course, the easiest way to do this is to kill Daro Siqiao and become the Mughal emperor himself.

But after Shah Jahan was killed, the guards in the entire royal court were strengthened by more than one or two points?

Shashua's more chaotic henchmen, regardless of whether they were civil servants or military generals, were unlikely to rush into the royal city to kill Daro Siqiao.

Since there is no chance to kill Daro Siqiao directly, it is better to run away with his henchmen in advance.

Delhi is a good place, but it has been acquired in advance by Ozirangbu, Ajmer is too close to Agra, Umutan has few people in the mountains, and it is close to Persia, and the only good places to choose are Udaipur and Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad is fine, but it's too close to the sea—even Shashua doesn't want to be so close to the sea.

What if I run into Akito's warship? I don't have a reliable navy, and I can't fight it, so why don't you give up Ahmedabad and run away?

So, in the end, only Udaipur was left to choose.

Shashua's chief of guard, Prasad, was also uncomfortable - the weather was so hot, and he still had to be equipped and worry about the entire moving team, so it would be a hell of a disaster.

After waving his sleeves and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Prasad bowed down on his horse and said, "Your Highness, we have been away from Agra for two days, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach Udaipur this evening, or early tomorrow morning." ”

Shashua nodded, feeling better at last.

It's good that you're almost there, as long as you get to Udaipur, you can integrate the soldiers and horses in the city, and then secretly unite with Ozelombu to fight against Daro Sicho, who occupies Agra.

After arriving in Udaipur, Shashua's choice was even simpler, directly taking down the commander of the city defense army in the name of rebellion, and then replacing it with his own henchmen.

As for the consuls of the city, they were slaughtered before they could express their objections, and Shashua had no intention of disgusting himself from the beginning with a consul who was not close to him.

After directly occupying the best city lord's mansion in the city, Shashua gathered his civil and military ministers.

Once again, Shashua felt that there was not a feeling in his heart—compared to the Manchu civil and military ministers of Daro Siqiao and the civil and military ministers who were loyal to Ozelombu, his own subordinates were really a little ...... Shabby.

A large number of low-level civil and military attachés gathered together, filling the lobby of the entire City Lord's Mansion, but none of them were more advanced.

This also means that it is impossible to expect these people to put forward constructive opinions, after all, they have not been exposed to a high level, and most of them have not risen by their own strength, and the angle and vision of looking at the problem will be different from those bigwigs.

After briefly mentioning a few things to be done at the moment, Sha Shuya said directly: "There is one thing, I will greet you in advance, that is, don't provoke those Ming people, do you remember them?" ”

The civil and military ministers in the hall looked at each other for a moment before bowing down to receive the order.

At this time, thinking about how to deal with Darosiqiao's offensive is already a headache, who would have the guts to grow hair to provoke those who can't be provoked?

Especially in the place of Udaipur, although it is already some distance away from the location of the port, it is not too difficult to land from the Baroda and then march to Udaipur?

……

These changes in the Mughals were not too clear to Mekhail - he had just finished talking to the Ming people in Rajmurhar and had not yet had time to return to Agra.

However, for this envoy Raj Mohar to meet Emperor Chongzhen, Mekhail saw the duality of the Ming people.

Although these Ming people are aggressive on the battlefield, and they are also all kinds of digging pit people during negotiations, once the conditions are negotiated, these Ming people are also very fast to execute.

Almost as soon as the general framework for negotiations was finalized, the Ming people stopped their offensive, whether it was an offensive on land or at sea, almost immediately, giving the illusion that there had never been a war.

But Mekhail knew very well in his heart that all this was just an illusion on the surface, and he could not negotiate any conditions, but he was afraid that the offensive of these Ming troops would be restarted immediately - it was estimated that this was also a means of forcing himself to make concessions.

However, Mekhail had to accept this threat, and even began to make concessions on some minor terms, and finally signed the Treaty of Rajmurhar.

After Mekhail left with the "Rajmurhar Treaty", Emperor Chongzhen was also holding the "Rajmurhar Treaty".

How can a treaty that does not cede land, pay compensation, sell mines and taxes be considered a qualified treaty?

According to the content of the treaty agreed this time, the Ming has effectively owned Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Maharasgora, Telangandhi, Odisha, West Bengal, and Meghalaya.

The area of these lands is about one-fifth of the land area of the entire Mughals.

If you count the area east of Assam, which has been in hand before, and the 99-year lease from Bombay to Baroda, the entire Ming Dynasty even took a quarter of the entire Mughal in its hands - is it possible to return the leased land?

Emperor Chongzhen could guarantee with the head of Daluo Siqiao that after the lease expired, the Ming would definitely return the leased places to the Mughals, assuming the Mughals still existed.

After summoning back the handles of the two fleets, as well as the large and small handles of the army on the ground, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "If the Mughals act according to the treaty, it is estimated that those Yingyi will be sent over in the near future."

Therefore, my goal of Daming also needs to be changed, let go of the Mughals for the time being, and go all out to attack Yingyi and get that land in hand! ”

Lai Zongdao hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, these barbarians in the land, that Mekhail has signed on behalf of the Mughal lord Daro Siqiao, saying that he is at the disposal of my Daming.

If the battlefield is now shifted to the land of England, the barbarians of these lands? ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said: "That's a matter between your cabinet and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, you can do it yourself, I don't plan to ask about it again."

What I mean by this is that I want to go out with the army to see what the Far West is like, and to bring back a large area of land over there. ”

At this moment, not only is the civilian system dissatisfied, but even the big leaders of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces are no longer doing it - big man, can you think about it, can you think about it carefully, sea operations can be the same as land operations?

In land combat, as long as it is not unlucky to encounter a fire rain meteor or an earth dragon turning over, the army of the Ming Dynasty has the confidence to escort you to the ends of the earth, and see who is not pleasing to the eye.

But at sea, it's not like that!

Even if you rely on these charts that are now tricked and tricked, they are perfect enough to bypass all the reefs along the way, and you don't have to worry about encountering dragons sucking up water or hurricanes?

Especially the Cape of Good Hope, as recorded in the charts of the barbarians.

If you want to go to the far west, you must first go around West Kunlun and pass through the Cape of Good Hope—but the Cape of Good Hope is not a good place!

Even if the perennial strong west wind continues, the most terrifying thing is the "murderous wave" recorded by those barbarians!

The front part of this wave is like a cliff, and the back part is like a gentle hillside, and the wave height is generally five to seven zhang - even if the lucky boat is slapped by this huge wave, it is estimated that it will be a broken end!

What's more, in addition to this murderous wave, there are also swirling waves, and sometimes the sea will roll like boiling water in a pot, and the ship will often capsize at these times.

While most of these situations occur in winter, when is it now?

In the late summer and autumn of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, what if Emperor Chongzhen went to sea with the fleet and encountered these situations?

In case these barbarians don't know Chinese characters, it will be useless for your old man to make any more holy decrees of "exempting the dynasty"!

Worried about the safety of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen bowed directly and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the expedition to England can be known by Weichen and the British Duke together.

Your Majesty is the weight of the country, and it is really not suitable to go on an expedition to the sea, I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Zhang Zhiji also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" Wechen is willing to make a military order and lead an expedition to England alone, if he can't recapture those lands, the minister will come to see him! ”

Lai Zongdao and the other civil and military ministers didn't care about any barbarians or barbarians, so they bowed down together and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

It doesn't matter if the barbarians are caught, it's never too late to catch them all at once, and the Ministry of Railways can't digest them all, and it is estimated that it will cause a certain degree of waste.

Therefore, if you can't catch it this time, you can catch it next time, and you don't need to be in such a hurry.

But Emperor Chongzhen is going on an expedition to England, who dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents at sea? When the time comes, will you help the young Lord to ascend the throne?

It is no problem for the young lord to ascend the throne, but who is responsible for the turmoil caused by it?

The old Liu family is so awesome, didn't they fall into bad luck later because of the problem of the young emperor?

Even the Ming Dynasty, didn't there have been many problems because of the change of the throne?

In short, no matter what, Chongzhen can't be allowed to be willful anymore, let alone let his old man board a warship and go to England to fight!

Emperor Chongzhen was also helpless.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that these ministers were all for their own good and worried about their own safety, but they couldn't go to England to pretend to be a wave of force, and they couldn't get through this idea!

However, no matter how inaccessible it is, it is useless, and Emperor Chongzhen knows in his heart that without a way to ensure his own safety, none of these civil and military ministers dares to let him board the ship for an expedition.

In addition to his identity as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is also because his emperor is different from other emperors of the Ming Dynasty - it is nothing to build slaves and expand the territory, and several emperors of the Ming Dynasty can do it.

Unlike other emperors, it is because he can bring different benefits to these guys, allowing them to see the possibility of dividing a piece of land.

If he hangs up now, even if these people support the young lord to ascend the throne, in the palace, and in the court, can they still ensure that their current policy will continue to be implemented?

Especially in the case of hanging up by yourself, it is estimated that there are not one or two people who jump out to oppose it.

After having a headache for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered a word.

Suez Canal.

In his previous life, the teasing and unlearned skills made Emperor Chongzhen feel that this Suez surnamed Su must be a cow, and he could preside over the excavation of such a large canal, which is estimated to be much better than His Majesty Yang Er.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen carefully checked the information on the Internet, he found that the surname Su was not built by a person surnamed Su, but by the pharaoh Sinuset III Suez of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt.

Moreover, the Suez Canal seems to have been abandoned and re-dug back and forth several times, and it was not until later that the reconstruction work was restarted after the lame man hung up, and finally when it was dug through, the "Great Qing Dynasty" had already begun to fall.

Of course, when Emperor Chongzhen thinks of the Suez Canal now, he doesn't think about whether the Qing Dynasty is broken or not - it was originally a broken house, and it broke out occasionally, and the final outcome could not escape the ruin.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered the reason for the Suez Canal was that it was possible to travel to Europe through Suez without passing through Africa - the risk of the canal was obviously lower than the risk of going through the Cape of Good Hope.

This also means that he can go to Europe through this canal and pretend to be forced to slap people in the face, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can't find any big problems.

As for the time and manpower and material resources required to build this canal, Emperor Chongzhen was not particularly worried.

Don't talk about time, I am now in the prime of life, and the elegant way of saying it is the peak of spring and autumn, so I naturally don't worry about the situation that the river will hang up before it is dug well.

In terms of manpower, with the labor of the Mughal and Western Kunlun, plus the overseers of the Wa Kingdom, it must not be a problem in terms of manpower.

Only in terms of material resources, some are a headache.

However, it's not a big problem - even if the Ming treasury doesn't pay a penny, isn't there still fat sheep like the Mughal and the East India Company to pay?

Anyway, I'm going to build a canal too!
