Chapter 413: Be a Qualified Colonist

This is the end of the war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Looking at Yang Feng hovering overhead, Bahadursha gloomily issued an order to stop resisting.

In fact, he also understood at this time that even if there was no Yang Feng, he would have to be a fiasco in this battle, and the charge of his 80,000 cavalry and elephant soldiers was completely beaten into a sea of corpses and blood by the Ming army, and even the Ming infantry did not move, and the artillery alone had already solved the battle. The fire net woven by field artillery, howitzers, rocket artillery, and rapid-fire artillery is like a meat grinder to crush the courage and hope of the Mughals, and those ancient Turkic-Mongol warriors who desperately rushed and charged were powerless in the face of hail-falling shells, they dodged the shells of field artillery, could not dodge the rockets of intensive bombardment, dodged the fire net of rockets that tore through the air, and could not avoid the fire of rapid-fire guns.

Especially the last one.

Neatly arranged at the forefront of the Ming army's position, the military rapid-fire artillery battalion mixed with the infantry battalion, the cavalry brigade's rapid-fire artillery battalion, plus the temporary dismantling from the battleship, a total of 60 one-inch rapid-fire guns, with a frequency of more than 3,000 rounds per minute, frantically sprayed flowering shells woven into a hell of death, all the Mughals who broke into the Ming army's defense line within three miles, all of them with their mounts, were torn to pieces by this killing machine.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing.

On top of that, the horses and elephants simply couldn't withstand the noise of the heavy rockets.

Although they were all trained accordingly, when they actually arrived on the battlefield, they quickly returned to the instincts of wild beasts in the face of the loud noise that even the earth trembled, and in fact more than half of the Mughals died in the trampling of horses and elephants, especially those elephants that were supposed to trample on the enemy, which became the nightmare of the Mughals themselves.

Of course, there is no point in talking about any of this.

The Mughals lost, and it was a fiasco, an extraordinary defeat, the Ming army still did not suffer any casualties, but they were killed and wounded more than 40,000 people, and even most of them were dead, Bahadur Shah looked at the seemingly endless sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, trembling with old tears, but then he still held back his grief and anger, looked at the top of his head, and then wiped away his tears, put on clean clothes again, took his generals, and rode towards the Ming army's position, all around them, The Mughal soldiers who knelt down to Yang Feng still did not stand up.

Looking at this scene, Yang Feng in the sky snorted coldly, turned his head and flew back.

Then he descended in the same prostrations as his own soldiers, and quickly returned to the warehouse behind his mobile palace, where he unloaded his equipment, and was waited by the maids to put on the crown again, and then went to the throne outside and sat down, and soon Bahadur Shah was also brought to the steps at his feet, and the latter looked at Yang Feng, who was perched on the throne, and helplessly led his generals to kneel again.

Fall to your knees in silence.

"Is he mute?"

Yang Feng slapped the handrail and shouted majestically.

"The Mughal Emperor knocks on His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

Amid the scolding of the Jinyi guard, who acted as an interpreter, Bahadursha had to bow his head and shout loudly.

"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have treated you as a brother, the two countries have always been harmonious, more than ten years of trade has continued, self-asking friendship is quite thick, the slave rebels and remnants of the sin far away to the south of the mountain to survive, and the south of the mountain is your territory, I take friendship, so stop in the north of the mountain, move the book to your behalf to capture, since the fugitive slave traitor who has no country, should be a common disease for others, but why do you shirk? Since you shirk it, I have no choice but to arrest myself, and why do you obstruct it? I have traveled up the river, but if I have set foot in your land, why have you met with swords?

Thou hast been rude to this point, how can I not cut thee with my sword? ”

Yang Feng patted the handrail and scolded angrily.

After listening to the translation, Bahadursha was so frightened that he hurriedly lay there to defend himself.

He was like meat on the chopping block at this time, Yang Feng would kill him if he wanted to, and even if Yang Feng killed him, there would only be cheers within the Mughal Empire, whether it was the governors who were about to move or his own son Jahandar who stayed in Delhi. Sha will only cheer for his death, so now no matter what, Yang Feng's hair must be smoothed out first.

The reasons for his justification are nothing more than the previous ones, such as that Gurkha is not his territory, and for example, he just mistakenly believes in slander and thinks that Emperor Yang is coming to destroy his country.

Well, as for who came in the slander......

Let's see who doesn't like it later.

In short, he took himself out first, and then avoided the Bengali belonging, in fact, even he knew that it was just a weak struggle, but he didn't expect it......

"I see, but I misunderstood you!"

Yang Feng suddenly changed his face and said with a pleasant face.

"Huh?!"

Bahadursha was at a loss.

"You can rest assured that I have no interest in your land, I am only here to conquer the remnants of the slaves, I can assure you that I will not ask for an inch of your land, you only need to promise to cooperate with the actions of the army, and also restrain the army and civilians under your rule, and provide sufficient supplies for the army. Of course, there is also the fact that you have to make some compensation for the previous events, after all, the army has been delayed for so long and the attrition during the war is caused by your mistakes. In addition, there are some controversial issues between us to be resolved, such as the problem of the former European colonizers' strongholds, and the problem of Bangladesh, although Bangladesh joined the Ming Dynasty, but after the establishment of Du, so there is no question of me seizing land from you, and now that we are face to face, it is best to clarify this issue with you. ”

Yang Feng said.

Bahadur Shah continues to dream as well.

Of course he understands this meaning, Bangladesh has entered the Ming Dynasty, this is a sheep into the tiger's mouth, he doesn't expect to come back, as for those European colonizer strongholds, he was not ready to ask for more, so these two questions are not a problem, the rest is just to say reparations, he also understands why Yang Feng is so kind not to kill him at this time, because no one will pay compensation for killing him, his sons wish he was dying, and this indemnity will definitely not be less, and when the time comes, his sons will lose too much, simply said that he had already died on the battlefield, and then said that he was a fake made by Yang Feng, so that not only could he be the emperor, but he would also not have to pay compensation.

He understands this very well.

"Your Majesty, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Bahadursha asked through gritted teeth.

"How many people do they have?"

Yang Feng asked Yang Zhong beside him.

"Your Majesty, according to the pre-war estimates, including Bengal, they should have a population of almost 150 million, excluding Bengal, there will be 120 million, but this 120 million also includes the tribal alliance that they are actually unable to rule over the Marathas and the Deccan, so after all are removed, there will be no more than 100 million people who are really ruled by the Mughal Empire, and the Governor of Hyderabad has announced the establishment yesterday, so you have to deduct more than 10 million there, and the ministers estimate that there will be 80 million at most!"

Yang Zhong said.

The situation of the Mughal Empire is very complicated, if you really want to talk about the demographics, it is really completely impossible, Bahadur Shah theoretically has a territorial area to the southern part of the Indian peninsula, that is, there are several small monarchs at the top and on both sides, and the rest of India including Pakistan and Bengal and even Afghanistan are his. But in fact, this is not the case at all, the Marathas have long been de facto established, and even grabbed his territory, and Afghanistan is almost finished by the Persians, and in the middle of the northern part of the Deccan Plateau, there is a large number of small princely states composed of an alliance, which is not under his control, and the places under his control have been first European colonizers and then the Ming Dynasty, and more than a dozen small strongholds have been removed.

All in all, it's such a mess.

"That has nothing to do with us, he has no way to govern the country and doesn't need us to be responsible for him, Bangladesh really can't be counted, those of our prefectures and counties are our prefectures and counties, and the others are all Mughals, just according to the population of 120 million!"

After Yang Feng finished speaking, he said directly to Bahadursha: "According to the calculation of your country's population of 120 million, eight rupees for one person, a total of 960 million rupees. ”

At this time, the main coin in India is the rupee silver coin, the standard is one hundred and seventy-eight grains for one rupee, and the actual weight is more than 11 grams, but the silver content is relatively low, which is more than 91 percent, not only the Mughal Empire minted, but also those princes around the country also minted their own, including the East India Company, but this is roughly the case, 960 million rupees, which is almost less than 300 million dragon dollars, this figure is quite terrifying.

You know, that's almost 10,000 eurotons of silver.

And what's even more ruthless is that such indemnities are usually real money, which means that they must be paid with silver or equivalent gold, such a terrifying amount will definitely greatly drain the circulating currency on the market, even if Bahadur Shah has not evolved to understand finance, he also knows that such a huge indemnity is not just a reparation, this is the last knife that completely destroys his empire.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding?"

Bahadursha said in a trembling voice.

He knelt there with gray hair, and the sadness when he spoke in this voice with despair almost made Emperor Yang feel guilty.

"That's a very reasonable number."

Yang Feng said patiently.

He then asked Yang Zhong: "What is the minimum wage for a business in Mumbai to hire a local?" ”

"Your Majesty, the lowest groom is usually eight rupees a month."

Yang Zhong said.

"You see, eight rupees is only a month's income for the lowest people in your country, so this figure is only equivalent to letting the lowest people in your country take out a month's income, is this too much? In fact, I think it's very little, what is more? One large Mughal gold coin per person, that's a lot. ”

Yang Feng said patiently.

"Huh?!"

Once again, Bahadursha was defeated by his shamelessness. (To be continued.) )
