Volume 14 Chapter 49 The Intervention of the Great Powers

The two Ming armies are like a bamboo, and they have the potential to take the Mughal Empire in one fell swoop, as the emperor of the Mughal Empire, why did Shah Jahan not react at all? In fact, Shah Jahan did a lot of reactions, but none of them worked.

The most effective response to the invasion of the enemy country is naturally to send a large army to resist, but Shah Jahan really has no troops at hand, so his reaction has no practical effect.

Due to the means of communication and distance, the first thing he received was an invasion of about 400,000 Ming troops in the east, and as for the south, Dara at that time. Shike had just arrived in Goa, and the Ming army had not appeared, so naturally there would be no warning information.

Faced with this situation, Shah Jahan was not very nervous, Aurangzeb's ability was still clear to him, it was indeed impossible for him to send troops to defeat the 400,000 Ming army invading from the east, but if he held on to Dhaka, it should be no problem to hold on for a few months, at least he thought so.

However, immediately afterward, ten days later, news came from Goa. The main army of 200,000 led by Shike was annihilated by the Ming Empire!

At this time, Shah Jahan realized that there was a big trouble, the Ming Empire wanted to destroy his Mughal Empire, in the face of this situation, he still did not let Aurangzeb withdraw to Delhi, Aurangzeb's wolf ambition Shah Jahan is very clear, if he is allowed to withdraw to Delhi, he will directly take his throne and stand on his own!

All he could think of was to ask for help from outside, and at this time the only ones who could help him deal with the Ming Empire were the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, Shah Jahan now has a good relationship with them, and he knows very well that the Netherlands and Britain and France both want to train him to contain the Ming Empire, so he directly sent an envoy to Batavia for help.

Don't look at Shah Jahan's seemingly dizzy moves, in fact, he is not lacking in eyes, but he is just an advanced gunpowder weapon.

Like this request for help, he not only sent a messenger all the way, he sent all the way to the east by land, and fast horses to the south by sea, he even asked for help from Dutch, British and French merchants, asking them to find a way to spread the news to Batavia.

However, because there was no steamer, even if the messenger who asked for help escaped the monitoring of the Ming army and wanted to rush to Batavia, it would not be a matter of a day or two, so after more than a month, not only did he not wait for the support of the foreign powers, but received the news that the 200,000 troops led by Aurangzeb were also completely annihilated by the Ming Empire!

What else could he do in such a situation? Lead the 100,000 troops of Delhi to fight the Ming army? No kidding, it wasn't enough to stuff people's teeth in the past; Bring back the 100,000 defenders of Kandahar? That's just looking for death, the Persian Empire will definitely rush up without hesitation, but he has one more big enemy, and now the only thing he can count on is the support of the great powers.

So did the Great Powers receive his letter for help? The Great Powers received it, but by the time Van Mendi received his letter for help, it was too late, and by the time his letter of request for help was delivered to Batavia, the 200,000-strong army led by Aurangzeb on the eastern road had already been annihilated!

Fan Mendi attaches great importance to the Mughal Empire's request for help, if the Ming Empire occupies the Mughal Empire, then it will be okay, and at that time, the entire Far East will become the world of the Ming Empire, and they are still a fart!

Therefore, after receiving the letter for help, he immediately urgently convened a meeting of the British and French generals as well as Denmark and Sweden, and after consultation, everyone agreed that the Ming Empire should be immediately put under pressure to withdraw its troops.

How to put pressure on the Ming Empire? Naturally, he went to negotiate with them, and Fan Mendi did not hesitate to drive to Xingcheng Port with representatives of Britain, France, Denmark, and Sweden to protest to the Nanyang Governor of the Ming Empire.

Zheng Zhilong already knew that they would come, paper can't contain the fire after all, it is impossible for the Ming army to hide such a big action from everyone, and the European powers will receive the news sooner or later, so Zhu Cijiong gave Zheng Zhilong instructions before going to Goa, if the powers come to interfere, they will be pushed back directly, and the war will start, and now, the Ming Dynasty is in the Far East, don't be afraid of anyone!

With this instruction, Zheng Zhilong was still afraid of a fart, and when he heard that the great powers were coming to the door, he didn't even answer it, and directly led the generals of the Nanyang Navy Division to wait in the conference room.

When Fan Mendi and the others came to the conference room under the guidance of the guards, he didn't even bother to get up, and sat there coldly, staring at Fan Mendi fiercely, like a beast that chooses people to devour!

In the face of this kind of scene, Fan Mendi didn't care at all, because he had representatives of the great powers around him, and the scene of the last negotiation was still vivid, and the Ming Empire did not dare to offend all the great powers, so he coaxed and took the representatives of the great powers to sit opposite Zheng Zhilong, and directly threatened: "Your Highness Nicholas, on behalf of all the countries of the anti-Habsburg alliance, I protest to you, and ask you to immediately stop the aggression against the Mughal Empire, otherwise, our anti-Habsburg alliance will not be welcome." ”

Zheng Zhilong said directly and coldly: "Please pay attention to your wording, Your Excellency General Fan Mendi, our Ming Empire is not invading the Mughal Empire, but counterattacking, counterattack, do you know?" It was the Mughal Empire that attacked our ally Portugal first! “

Fan Mendi still said aggressively: "I don't care who made the first move, in short, your Ming Empire's attack on the Mughal Empire has damaged the interests of all the countries of our anti-Habsburg alliance, so you must withdraw your troops immediately!" “

Oh, this means that it is unreasonable, it is easy to do if it is unreasonable, Zheng Zhilong directly turned his face and said sharply: "Your anti-Habsburg alliance does not have the right to interfere in the actions of our Ming Empire. “

When Fan Mendi heard this, he made a naked threat: "Then what do you mean, the Ming Empire is going to be the enemy of all the countries of our anti-Habsburg alliance?" “

Zheng Zhilong came up with this fire, the anti-Habsburg alliance is amazing, he slapped the table directly, pointed at Fan Mendi's nose and scolded: "Are you sick or what's wrong, did our Ming Empire beat you?" It's your business that we fight the Mughal Empire! “

Fan Mendi was stunned by Zheng Zhilong's scolding, yes, what does the Ming Empire's fight against the Mughal Empire have to do with them?

The problem has to matter now, it has to matter, not to be outdone, he slapped the table, pointed at Zheng Zhilong's nose and scolded: "You are used to being a pirate, you are so unreasonable, you are invading our allies, do you know?" Why can't we care? “

Zheng Zhilong was also not to be outdone: "Spain is still our ally, did you ask us about the Ming Empire when you fought Spain?" “

When Fan Mendi heard this, he was choked to death at the wrong point, he understood that the Ming Empire was determined to occupy the Mughal Empire this time, and the threat alone seemed to be gone, and he had to take practical action, and he didn't bother to talk to Zheng Zhilong, and said coldly: "Now, on behalf of all the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, I solemnly warn you that if your Ming Empire does not withdraw its troops from the Mughal Empire immediately, you will bear the consequences!" “

Zheng Zhilong is afraid of a yarn, he is hoping that the combined fleet will leave Batavia to stir up trouble, and he will bear the consequences, he also said coldly: "Now, on behalf of the Ming Empire, I solemnly warn you, if you oppose the Habsburg Alliance and interfere in the actions of our Ming Empire, you will bear the consequences!" “

When Fan Mendi heard this, he snorted, flicked his sleeves directly, and walked out, the representatives of Britain and France and other countries are so depressed, they haven't said anything, this is the end, is there a mistake?
