Chapter 614: A Fire in the Backyard

If he hadn't gotten the news that the Mughal Empire's army was going to enter Tibet before going to the South Seas, Ye Xun would definitely continue to lead the fleet south to Manila.

Fortunately, there is no longer any threat over there, Ye Xun can return with confidence, and if Tian Siqing proposed before, the fleet can also enter the Bay of Bengal and threaten the flank of the Mughal Empire from the sea.

How can we say that the plan never changes quickly, and there are thousands of Spanish prisoners of war in the fleet, and how can they go to fight in the Bay of Bengal?

So Ye Xun can only lead the fleet back, in general, this trip to the South Seas has gained a lot, but it is a bit too early to say that the goal has been completely completed.

Under the respectful send-off of Shao Qifeng and He Shuo, as well as some local indigenous elders, the fleet set sail.

Everything that should be explained has been explained, and if everything goes well, after the Ryukyus are settled, Ye Xun will still come, and at that time, he will have time to completely smooth out this side.

Tian Siqing stood on the deck, glanced in the direction of the Ryukyus, couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered: "It's a pity, the Mughal bastards, it's too late to come."

Ye Xun smiled and said: "Xiao Ye's life should not be extinguished, let him jump for a while first, and after he goes back, he will train the navy well, and some will fight for you."

Tian Siqing also smiled, this guy is polite and polite, but he is a complete militant, and even his father was deceived by him.

I only heard Ye Xun continue: "Later, I also thought about it, the Mughal is a landlocked country, although it also has a coastline, but unless we bring a large army, I am afraid that it will not be able to form a real threat to the Mughals."

This idea was sketched out by Ye Xun based on the memories of later generations, although the Mughals are now dominant in the Indian peninsula, they are far from reaching the point of complete control over the entire Indian peninsula, and both ancient and modern, the state of the Asans is composed of federations.

If the fleet enters the Bay of Bengal and then lands from Benga, it will have to go deep into the interior of the Indian Peninsula, just as Ye Xun said, unless you bring a large number of troops, I am afraid that before you reach the Mughal capital Delhi, you will have to be annihilated by the troops along the way.

So when you think about it, this is an unrealistic plan, and of course, it's no wonder that Tian Siqing is not very knowledgeable about the situation in the Indian peninsula.

And when Ye Xun and Tian Siqing were discussing the situation of the Mughals, the Mughal high-level officials were also arguing over whether to continue to send troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

In the last war, Diwan led by the Minister of Finance and Prime Minister Wanur strongly opposed it, and now the 50,000-strong army has been wiped out, and even the commander has become a prisoner, which immediately caused a huge repercussion in the Mughals.

Even the Mughal Emperor Chahanjie never expected that the Ming Dynasty army would be so strong, it doesn't matter if he loses the battle, victory and defeat are commonplace, but these more than 50,000 troops were taken away by others, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Sadr escaped because he organized military quarters in the rear, and now in the midst of the scolding of the courtiers, like a rat crossing the street, he did not dare to say a word at all.

But such a big thing, it's not that he can be confused without speaking, although Bashik, who was in the main battle, was captured by the Ming army, the problem is that there is still an emperor, and the emperor also advocated sending troops at the beginning.

But how could the emperor make a mistake, this huge black cauldron is undoubtedly going to be detained on Sadr.

Soon, in order to divert the attention of the courtiers and the common people, al-Sadr was charged with starting a war without authorization and imprisoned.

Immediately Zha Hanjie convened all the ministers to discuss the matter, and the center of the discussion was whether to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty to return the prisoners or continue to wage war.

Also attending the meeting was Chahanjie's son Sha Jahan, who originally disapproved of sending troops, but since he was reprimanded by his father Chahanjie, he has become much more honest.

In the huge palace, Chahanjie looked at the silent ministers below, and couldn't help but get more and more angry, since beating his son Sha Jahan as an adult, these ministers seem to be becoming more and more disobedient.

In fact, this is just the psychological effect of Cha Hanjie, when his son is older, it means that he is old, so is it time to give way to his son?

In this mentality, Chahanjie also looked at his son Sha Jahan more and more unpleasantly, and even wanted to abolish Sha Jahan's inheritance at one point.

"What! Did you all make the Ming Dynasty people scared? Why don't you even have an idea? Diwan, you say"

Since no one is willing to speak, Zha Hanjie can only name him, and let this person who looks the most unpleasant say it first.

Di Wan hesitated for a moment before saying: "The minister thinks that we should negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, after all, this matter is our fault first."

Chahanjie frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, his son Sha Jahan was the first to speak.

"Father, Erchen thinks that there is something wrong with what Lord Diwan said, first of all, we are not going to invade the Ming Dynasty, but at the request of the Qinghai-Tibetan people, to protect the Qinghai-Tibetan people, it was the Ming Dynasty people who attacked us first, regardless of good or bad, so Erchen thinks that we can send envoys to talk to them first, so that the Ming Dynasty can release our soldiers back, and at the same time we must mobilize the army to prepare for war, we must let the Ming Dynasty people know the tragic fate of bullying our Mughals"

Chahanjie thought that he had misheard, because he knew that Shah Jahan had a good relationship with Di Wan in private, and Di Wan usually spoke to Shah Jahan all the time, so why did Shah Jahan openly oppose Di Wan now?

However, Shah Jahan's idea is quite in line with his own mind, and the shame of defeat must not be exposed so easily.

Turned his head to look at Diwan, and finally looked at Prime Minister Vanuer, this guy is also Diwan's gang, see what he says?

Vanur knew that he couldn't hide, so he coughed dryly and said: "The minister also agrees with Sha Jahan's strategy, and we can't let the Ming Dynasty look down on us because of a defeat."

What day is it today? Could it be that these people have secretly made some ulterior secrets?

As an emperor, I'm afraid there is no doubt about it, Cha Hanjie's eyes turned a few times on the faces of several people, and suddenly smiled: "Since everyone has no opinion, then that's it, Di Wan, you personally go to Jalan Sa or the capital of the Ming Dynasty to warn the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that they not only want to release our soldiers back, but also must make war compensation, otherwise our Mughal army will definitely fight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

Diwan was the Mughal finance minister, and asking him to negotiate with the Ming people was obviously insulting.

Prime Minister Vanur took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, is it a bit too high to look down on the Ming Dynasty people for such a trivial matter?" Just send someone! ”

Cha Hanjie shook his head and said, "You are wrong, how can we underestimate a country that can annihilate my 50,000-strong army silently?" Sending Diwan to come forward, firstly, Diwan has this ability, and on the other hand, we can also show our determination, as for Diwan's work, it will be managed by Usxian first."

Wusi was the minister in charge of agriculture, he could be regarded as a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he was low-key, and he never participated in the battles between the various factions in the court, so Chahanjie chose him.

Vanuer wanted to say something, but Diwan unexpectedly flashed out, bowed and saluted: "Since Your Majesty has an order, the minister will definitely fulfill Your Majesty's entrustment"...
