The British East India Company's Viceroy in India was named Jones, who was also an old British aristocrat.

In their eyes, the Oriental people are a group of uncivilized barbarians, and they will not have any psychological burden on the barbarians, whether they are enslaved or killed.

Even if William brought back the information that the Ming Dynasty was invincible, Governor Jones still didn't take it too seriously, how powerful can an uncivilized country be?

It was precisely with this idea that he sent troops to help Shah Jahan attack Bashik.

Seeing that Bashik was trapped in a lonely city and could be wiped out at any time, a sudden bad news, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shocked Governor Jones and made him have to re-examine whether to continue to participate in this Mughal civil war?

It turned out that the Ming navy was outside the island of Ceylon, and suddenly declared war on the fleet of the East India Company, and defeated the armed fleet of the East India Company in World War I.

The closure of the sea route was equivalent to cutting off their British retreat, and the seizure of merchant ships was also the cutting off of their financial route.

Those who listened to the report said that with the strength of the Ming fleet, even if all the fleets of the British Empire were pulled over, it was not necessarily possible to win.

Now Governor Jones finally believed what William said, and to put it deeper, Governor Jones didn't expect that the Ming would attach so much importance to the Indian Peninsula.

The Ming army had already made it clear that the British were no longer allowed to participate in the Mughal civil war and immediately withdrew their troops from Dhaka.

From the time he received the news of the defeat of the fleet, Governor Jones had already decided to withdraw his troops, but he suddenly remembered that if he withdrew like this, he would not be able to take the initiative in negotiations with the Ming Dynasty in the future, so should he get some chips in hand?

Governor Jones did not have many men, there were only more than 1,000 real British, and the remaining 5,000 were mercenaries, and the combat effectiveness of their army could be said to be completely reflected in firearms, otherwise such a ragtag army would probably not even be able to defeat Shah Jahan.

In the Governor's Tent of Jones, Brigadier General William and several British generals were called.

Governor Jones was in his fifties, with a bushy beard and slender eyes that radiated a sly glow.

"Generals, we have to sit down and negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, but the negotiation is to have bargaining chips, you all talk about it, what should we do next?"

The news of the defeat of the fleet could not be concealed at all, and a panic had begun to creep in the army, so they had to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

William has dealt with Ye Xun, so he also has the most right to speak, as soon as Governor Jones's voice fell, he took the initiative to say: "The army of the Ming Dynasty, I have seen it, to put it mildly, if that Lord Ye really leads the army, our army is not an opponent at all, and now since His Excellency the Governor intends to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, then according to my idea, it is to rescue the two wives and children of Lord Ye."

The idea is good, but it's too shameless, they all know that Ye Xun's two children are trapped in the city, it's okay to say, the two ladies were caught by their accomplice Dolgon, if you want to save people, it is equivalent to starting a war against your accomplices, you must know that when the alliance was formed, it was said that it was good to advance and retreat together, and now it is suddenly backwater, you let the face of the British Empire go there?

But treachery did not seem to be a difficult thing for these colonists.

At this time, a tall and sturdy general said angrily: "If you want me to say! Let's work together to take down the city first, and then use Bashik and the two pairs of mother and son as bargaining chips, and I don't believe that the surnamed Ye doesn't bow his head."

Not to mention, it's also a good idea, because this situation can turn from reactive to proactive.

Governor Jones pondered for a moment, and said, "In this case, General Simos, you send someone to the place called Do, and let him send the two ladies who have been held captive to us."

"General William, you have dealt with the Ming Dynasty, and the matter of negotiation will be handed over to you"

I don't know who is used to the self-confidence of these foreign devils, as if no matter what they say, others must listen.

Shah Jahan now is the time to ask the British, it is normal for them to obey the orders of Governor Jones, but Dolgon is not that problem, and the only thing that can make him afraid in the world is Ye Xun.

Dolgon and Sha Jahan had already planned that once the Ming army came to help, they would repeat their old tricks, using superior forces and locations to defeat the Ming army in a battle, because only by beating the Ming army painfully could it be possible to sit down and negotiate with Ye Xun.

Dolgon has followed Ye Xun for many years, and he can be regarded as knowing Ye Xun, but he knows more about those officials of the Ming Dynasty, so his hope is pinned on the pressure of Ming Dynasty officials on Ye Xun, rather than really fighting Ye Xun on the battlefield.

To be able to do such a big thing, Dolgon has also made complete preparations, the first thing is to arrange spies in the capital, so Ye Xun's whereabouts have always been sent to him by secret agents.

While Governor Jones was convening a meeting of his men, Dorgon and Shah Jahan were discussing what to do.

The bad news for them was that the Ming army did not enter their ambush circle as they expected, and the good news was that the Romanovs had finally sent their troops.

"General Dolgon, how long do you think we can take Dhaka?"

Shah Jahan admired Dolgon and had already betrothed his sister to Dolgon in order to keep him on a tie completely.

Dolgon was a little distracted, and after Shah Jahan said it again, he said, "It's not difficult to take Dhaka, but what should I do next?" Your Majesty, it's not me who speaks for the Ming army, if you really annoy my division and Ye Gonggong, and he personally leads a large army to attack, your army is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty army at all."

It's better not to mention Ye Xun, as soon as Ye Xun's name is mentioned, Sha Jahan's anger will not be beaten, if it weren't for the dead eunuch, would he be the emperor of the Mughal Empire, would he be so miserable?

With a gloomy face, he snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it too late to say this now?" According to reliable information, the eunuch has arrived in Lanzhou, and the Ming army from all walks of life is also being mobilized, you just want to surrender to him now, I'm afraid he can't tolerate you, right? ”

Dolgon's relationship with Ye Xun is not a secret, which is why Shah Jahan said so.

Dolgon smiled bitterly, it was impossible to say that he had no remorse in his heart, but he was a Jurchen after all, and there was Nurhachi's blood flowing in his veins, just as Huang Taiji wrote to him, blood was thicker than water, although Ye Xun accepted him as an apprentice, he was also guarding against him.

Huang Taiji hoped that Dolgon could be himself and be a true Jurchen hero.

In fact, everything was an excuse, only Dolgon himself knew that the reason why he chose to betray in the end was because of the little woman.

Shaking his head, he drove away the distractions in his head, and said in a deep voice: "With the containment of the Romanov army and the Horqin tribal army, Ye Xun will definitely not have time to rescue Bashik, while attacking Bashik, His Majesty should trust the Ming court, let the Ming court put pressure on Ye Xun, and finally pull him to the negotiating table."

Because the red-sleeved mother and daughter and Arjuna mother and son have basically fallen under control, so Dolgon has such confidence...
