"Because the risk we have to take is too great, although we in Burma are not afraid of this huge empire, but we also do not want to provoke them easily, otherwise, we in Burma will definitely pay a huge value, and you, Mr. Fox, you are completely fooling this king as a fool, and want to use only a little profit, let us Burmese people go to work for you, this is simply impossible. "Where is Meng Yun still half a point of monarch's majesty at the moment, and some of them are naked greed and possession, like a thug with a sharp knife intending to beat people and goods, roaring at the poor money bag of the robbed.

After seeing that His Majesty the King of Burma, who had not eaten oil and salt at first, finally showed a hint of the expression that a businessman should have, the corners of the mouth of the British envoy from Penang Fox curled slightly, these greedy guys have finally become another victim of the British Empire.

However, there was no trace of smug on his face, and he just spread his hands in embarrassment. "Your Majesty, we have given very generous terms, isn't that enough to satisfy you?"

"Mr. Fawkes, please pay attention to the tone of your voice, you want to use the hand of this king against our overlords, to attract their attention, and thus to suppress their territory in India, hmph, do you think that just one Naga Hill can send us away like Hanako?" Meng Yun sneered: "Please don't forget, the Arakan Dynasty was determined by my own king ten years ago, and the territory that originally belonged to the Arakan Dynasty should be owned by me in Burma, but you and those Indians have conspired to seize that large piece of territory, and now, it seems to be a charity." ”

"Your Majesty, that is all in the past, and I apologize for everything that happened in the past, but the army at that time was completely the army of the Mughal Empire, and our British Empire did not participate, and I can assure you of this." Fawkes cursed the old fox in his heart, still maintaining a humble attitude.

"Whether you promise it or not, if you want the king to agree to your terms, you'd better come up with more realistic conditions." Meng Yun sat on the throne and regained the prestige of a high king, staring at the British envoy with burning eyes.

"In this case, we can persuade His Majesty the Emperor of the Mughal Empire to give you the vast territory south of the Brahmaputra River and north of Mount Kasi."

"No, we in Burma should be bordered by India on the Brahmaputra River, and to the east is our Burmese territory."

"This is impossible, Your Majesty, you are simply **naked blackmail, our British Empire has no way to make such a decision, and we will definitely not give up the land of Bengal to others ......"

An envoy of the British Empire and His Majesty the King of Burma were like shrews selling vegetables in two markets in the Burmese palace in Mandalay, and it was not until late that night, with a tired face and a hint of sadness, that the British Empire envoy Fox said goodbye to the satisfied Burmese king Meng Yun and left the palace for the post house.

When Fawkes got out of the carriage, he saw his companion, standing at the door of the inn to greet him. "Your Excellency, dear ambassador, you have finally returned, we have been waiting here very anxiously, and if it were not for the strong confidence in your diplomatic skills, perhaps we would have been waiting for you at the gate of the palace by now."

"Alright, Jack, now is not the time to talk about that, let them prepare me a big glass of whiskey, and by the way, let them prepare hot water. Oh my God, these natives of Indochina are more greedy and brazen than the other. To deal with such a person, it is better to send a businessman. Entering the inn, Fawkes eagerly untied the lace bow tie at his collar and instructed the members of the legation.

Walking into the room, Fawkes smiled at his companion Jack, who was standing at the inn to greet him, "However, this matter has finally been settled. ”

"That's great, thank God, God is still watching over us in the British Empire." A relaxed smile appeared on Jack's face. "It seems that we really should have a drink to celebrate."

"Don't rejoice too soon, dear Jack." Fawkes sat down, took the glass of whiskey that had been poured and drank it down, and let out a long breath: "We've paid a huge price for it. ”

"What is it, the land?" Jack stepped forward with a smile and said disapprovingly, then poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip gracefully. "There is nothing promised about the land, even if we give it away more now, but sooner or later we will get it back, and we will take it back twice."

"It's not just the land, that greedy fellow asks us to give them at least ten thousand flintlock muskets, and a hundred cannons." Fawkes stroked his brow. "Although in the end, the 100 guns were reduced to 70, but the 10,000 flintlock muskets, he didn't want to be less."

"These greedy moths, how dare they put forward such conditions? They should go to hell! Jack almost jumped up from his chair and shouted.

"Calm down, Jack, now is not the time to be angry, 10,000 muskets, 70 cannons, although there are more of them, but if you consider it from another aspect, you will find that we are not too bad." Fawkes tapped the rim of the cup lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he was holding a wisdom bead.

"Because we need them to get the attention of Liang Pengfei, the damn pirate leader, and importantly, the Burmese still have the courage to raise their swords and guns against this huge empire, and almost all the countries on Indochina except Burma have become vassals of that empire, well, it should be a vassal of the new empire that drove out the Tatar emperor, like that Siam, who originally wanted to fight with the Chinese, but what is the result? Most of their lands have fallen, and their king, Rama I, is now asking His Majesty the King of Myanmar for reinforcements, hahaha, these two countries, before you beat me and I beat you, but now, they have to be tied together. ”

Jack gasped. "Your Excellency, I have heard from the colonial officials of the United States of America that they are very dissatisfied with the Chinese setting foot in the New World, and that the call for war in the country is very high.

"That's right, we naturally wish they had as many enemies as possible, the vicious dog of the United States of America has already regarded the New World as their backyard, and this pirate of the East is also a greedy villain, there will definitely be a fierce collision between them, and we have provoked Burma and India, they need to face a strong enemy in several directions at the same time, don't forget, although the pirate of the East overthrew the rule of the Tatars, but there is no way to calm the chaos within the empire, That's our chance. There was still a thought in Ambassador Fawkes' mind that lingered like a nightmare.

He vaguely felt that if Liang Pengfei and those Chinese forces developed so rapidly, if this opportunity was not grasped, I am afraid that the British Empire would no longer be able to hold the expansion and rise of this huge empire in the East hostage.

Fox couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest: "May God bless England and defeat this terrible Eastern Empire." ”

"Report!" A powerful report rang out outside the door. Xie Yi, who was carefully measuring the distance on the map with a compass and a ruler, and kept talking to the staff officers around the table and the map, who were quietly discussing there.

"Battalion Commander Liu? Come on in, how's it going, any news new? Xie Yi, the commander of the Indian Field Army, threw the tools in his hand on the map and asked Liu Yixuan, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion who had entered the room.

"Three days ago, the army sent by Mughal Yanjing had left the city of Lahore and was on its way to the next Uttar Pradesh king's territory. We can already be sure that there should be the British among them. Liu Yixuan reported in a deep voice.

"British?" Hearing the news, Xie Yi's brows couldn't help but raise. "It seems that it's really like what the adults said, these Westerners are really thieves."

Next to him, Chen Yanqun, chief of staff of the Indian Field Army, said with a smile: "Of course, it's just that we haven't caught clear evidence yet, and they are only secretly doing evil, so if you want to use this as a reason to go to Penang to find the British, there is really no way." ”

"It seems that we are going to encounter a big battle this time, these Indians used to be all scattered, but now, under the thread of those British, they have the intention of uniting against us." Xie Yi smiled: "However, no matter how many of these Indians come, for us, it is just a number. ”

No one was surprised to hear Xie Yi's confident words, because they had already understood the combat effectiveness of these Indians very well.

At this time, Liu Yixuan, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion, began to continue to report on the reconnaissance results in the past few days: "Here, 15,000 Sikhs and 25,000 horses of those Indian kings have moved to the area of Zhangmagiana City on the bank of the Sinab River in Lahore City. ”
