Chapter 401: Is This Okay?
The wolf-like Jinyi guard immediately rushed up, dragged him aside amid the frightened shouts of the Bangladeshi Nawab, tied his hands with ropes, and hung him high, and then filled him with various torture instruments, and then began to make all kinds of preparations before the execution. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"So, who is interested in what I just proposed?"
With a hungry expression, Yang Huai stood in front of the background of this scene, rubbed his hands and said to those Bengali generals.
"We are the warriors of the Zhen Lord......"
A general shouted in awe-inspiring righteousness.
"Hang up!"
Yang Huai said very simply.
The two brocade guards immediately stepped forward, first slapped the main warrior to the ground with the butt of a gun, and then dragged him directly to the two iron hooks with his face covered with blood, and put the iron hooks on the guy's pipa bone like a butcher on a meat case, and pulled the inverted chain of the Ming Dynasty in the latter's screams, and quickly hung him up, and one of the brocade guards skillfully tied a leather bag with bricks to his feet and neck, and then put bricks inside with a happy smile.
"So, which other warrior of the Zhen Lord?"
In the screams of the main warriors, Yang Huai continued to rub his hands and said.
And the Nawab behind him was screaming and struggling to lift his body upwards like a poisonous snake, but his body was still slowly falling under gravity, and under him was a chair, an iron chair, of course, this was not terrible, the terrible thing was that the chair was full of spikes, stained with old blood, and looked black, but this was also not the most terrible, the most terrible thing was that the chair was still full of burning charcoal.
Well, this is Lord Nawab's favorite torture chair, and it is said that European craftsmen were invited to design it for him.
It's just that he likes to torture people!
Instead of sitting on it yourself!
"So again, is there anyone interested in my previous proposal?"
Yang Huai smiled and continued to ask those generals.
"I, I do!"
One of the generals shouted impatiently.
"I, I am willing, I am willing to submit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Immediately after that, the other generals shouted with the same eagerness.
"Look, they're all willing!"
Yang Huai turned his head and said to Nawab.
At this time, the latter's pi strands were just next to the torture chair, and they were burned by the charcoal fire and began to smoke, and even some faintly reddened spikes immediately pierced his skin with high temperatures, and a scorching smell quickly spread throughout the room.
"I agree, I agree!"
Nawab screamed heartbreakingly.
"Sorry, you've been eliminated!"
Yang Huai said apologetically.
At the same time, the Brocade Guard, who was dragging the rope next to him and slowly lowered Lord Nawab, let go with a wicked smile......
An hour later, because of the former Bangladeshi Nawab's rampant conquest, which led to the misery of the people in the territory, and the deduction of military salaries, nue treatment of soldiers, etc., in short, a lot of crimes, under the leadership of his number one general, Hassan, the Bangladeshi army and people resolutely revolted, and quickly overthrew his remnant rule and then embraced Hassan as the new Nawab. This was followed by the declaration of independence from the Mughal Empire under the slogan that Bengal is Bengali Bengal, and then a new, established kingdom of Bengal, with Hassan as the king of Bengal, called Hassan I. Also immediately after that, His Majesty Hassan I, on the grounds that His Majesty the Ming Emperor was benevolent and generous, wise and martial, and God protected the heavens, and so on, he sent an embassy to the Ming Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor and ask for annexation as a subject country.
Of course, this mission did not go empty-handed.
"Put it on, put it all on!"
Yang Huai looked in front of him with satisfaction.
This is a secret treasure house of Lord Nawab, under the coercion and temptation of His Majesty Hassan, the new king of Bangladesh, of course, mainly after seeing the current situation of Lord Nawab, one of his favorite concubines happily confessed this treasure house, and by the way, he also climbed into His Majesty Hassan's bed, when the door of this treasure house was opened, even Yang Huai couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, countless gold and silver coins and all kinds of gems, filled dozens of huge wooden boxes, and placed them in the treasure house randomly.
And now, this is all the filial piety of the king of Bengal to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
"My lord, after the counting, there are a total of 18,000 catties of gold, 120,000 catties of silver, and all kinds of jewelry worth 3 million yuan."
A brocade guard officer said.
"That's it?"
Yang Huai said with some dissatisfaction.
18,000 catties of gold does sound like a lot, of course, it looks like a lot, but in fact it is less than 5 million dragon dollars, 120,000 catties of silver is less than 2 million, plus jewelry, it is only 10 million dragon dollars, and Bangladeshis need to pay 50 million tributes to the Ming Dynasty, which means that this is only one-fifth.
"Your Majesty, you have a long way to go!"
He turned his head and patted Hassan I on the shoulder and said solemnly.
The latter gritted his teeth, and then said to the Bengali officer beside him: "Copy those temples and rich merchants, even if the gems set in the statues of the gods are dug up for me, in any case, the tribute to His Majesty the Emperor must be collected within a month." Also, dig three feet into the ground to find me all the places where the treasure might be buried in the Arbagh Fort, and send soldiers to empty the official warehouses of all the cities in each place, and send all the gold, silver and jewels that can be collected. In addition, tell those common people that the army of Mughals is coming, if you don't want to be a slave to the Mughal Emperor anymore, take out all the gold and silver, His Majesty the Ming Emperor is our savior, His Majesty the Ming Emperor will not only let the Bengalis run the country by themselves, but will not collect poll taxes in the future, so now we must let His Majesty the Emperor see our loyalty. ”
The officer immediately ran and did so.
Yang Huai patted Hassan I on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then continued to instruct the Jinyi guard to load the gold, silver and jewels in the treasure house.
In fact, for the Bengalis, especially Hassan and the officials and generals who supported him, they were not very resistant to the invasion of the Ming army, because the Ming army gave them what they dreamed of, and they could completely free themselves from the rule of the Mughal Empire under the protection of the Ming army. Although the Ming army wants more, but these cannot be out of them, on the contrary, they can take this opportunity to play to eliminate dissidents, and arrest those officials, generals, and wealthy merchants who are more loyal to the Mughal Empire, and then use the income of the family as a tribute to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the protection of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the common people......
That will not be affected, in order to make up the tribute to the Ming Emperor, Hassan did do everything, in fact, in the next time, he was very simple to send troops to arrest the target he liked, throw him into the dungeon, and detain the half-dead Lord Nawab for a few days, when the target's family sent the gold and silver that met his standards, and when to release it.
But he is the scourge of the rich.
Ordinary people have a fart money, even if he catches 10,000 people, in the end, he may not be as good as a random rich businessman.
It is impossible for him to take those ordinary people as fat sheep, the latter has a fart oil and water, if Yang Feng wants to slow down, then he can slowly make up by squeezing ordinary people, and slowly make it up, but Yang Feng wants him to make up 50 million dragon yuan a month, then he can only go to the scourge of the rich, since he is harming the rich, then the people of Bangladesh will not rise up to resist if they are idle.
In short, with the arrival of Jinyiwei, Bangladesh is like this.
Two hundred years after the fall of the Bengal Sultanate, the Bengali people finally regained their independence and freedom, although they needed to submit to the Ming Dynasty immediately, but it was not a big deal, and the countries that were subject to the Ming Dynasty were better than they had been as a province of the Mughal Empire. What's more, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the best in treating the subject country, the Ming Dynasty does not interfere in the internal affairs of the subject country, does not collect the poll tax of the common people of the subject country, and does not levy the people of the subject country to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield, whether compared to the Mughal Empire or the European colonizers, Emperor Yang is much better. The only problem was that the privileges of the Ming merchants destroyed the local industry and commerce of the subject countries, and turned these subject countries into dumping places for commodities and raw material suppliers, and completely reduced them to economic colonies. But this has nothing to do with ordinary people, ordinary people are oppressed by their own merchants and squeezed by Ming merchants, they don't feel any difference, and even the cheap industrial products of the Ming Dynasty also make them profitable, for example, cheap cotton cloth has made many poor people who were not clothed before wear clothes. There is also the fact that as a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, it must face the problem of Han missionaries or indoctrination envoys, which is indeed a little resistant to the Bengalis with a strong religious atmosphere, but the European colonizers are also missionaries here, since the Bengali people can tolerate the European missionaries, of course, they can also tolerate the indoctrination of the Ming Dynasty.
In short, in the face of the invasion of the Ming army, the Bengali people were calm, and the top class was also excited about the complete liberation of the Mughal Empire in the future, and only the middle level was dissatisfied, and some local rebellions also broke out under the instigation of some local officials, wealthy merchants, and temple elders.
Of course, this is the job of Hassan I.
Anyway, the Ming army won't care about this.
After quickly turning Dhaka into a base camp for an offensive into India, the Ming Riverwater Fleet and the main forces of the Second Army continued their expedition by land and water.
At the same time, the 200,000 Mughal army also arrived at Mursi Dabad, which was the capital of Bengal at this time, but Nawab wanted to play separatism, so Mursi Dabad, which is close to the Mughal Empire and faced with the Mughal army from the west, it can be said that it is obviously not suitable for a place without any barrier, but Dhaka is very suitable, so it moved to Dhaka.
And the Ming army went north, and it also needed to face this pass.
Similarly, this is also the decisive battle place chosen by Bahadursha, at this time, His Majesty the emperor was about to vomit blood with anger, he didn't expect Yang Feng to be so frustrated that he would directly cut Bengal down for him, this water network of deltas is the main granary of the Mughal Empire, the richness of Bengal has not changed since ancient times, of course he can't give up this place, and now it's not a matter of letting the Ming army pass, but a matter of him defending his territory.
Fortunately, this also solved a problem for him.
He doesn't have to think about the Bengalis anymore, as long as he defeats the Ming army, then he can use the Bengali rebellion as a reason, and hundreds of thousands of troops can directly push over, kill all those who should be killed, and regain a firm grip on Bengal.
Of course, he had to defeat the Ming army first.
In fact, he has already started the operation.
Xuan Ce Mansion.
"Want to play Wei Wei to save Zhao? That's what you need to do! ”
Qin Xu, the captain of the garrison of Xuance Mansion, sat in Fort William, or the reinforced concrete bunker of Xuance Mansion, looking at the steady stream of Mughal warships on the Hooghly River outside, and muttered to himself.
At the same time that the Ming army was advancing north along the main routes of the Mekhna River, the Bodo River, and the Ganges River, the Mughal army sent by Bahadur Shah began to move south along the Pajilti River to attack the main stronghold of the Ming army here, the Xuance Province named after Wang Xuance, that is, Calcutta. He didn't do this before because he didn't want to tear his face with Yang Feng yet, but as the Ming army unscrupulously eroded his territory, Bahadursha no longer looked ahead, anyway, he is now stretching his neck and shrinking his neck is also a knife, so it is better to go out and fight with Yang Feng.
First divided 50,000 people to attack the Xuance Mansion, and then forced the Second Army of the Ming Army to send troops to rescue.
The Ming army is only one army, but the military headquarters and an infantry brigade need to stay in Dhaka and ensure the safety of the transportation routes along the way, and there are only three infantry brigades that actually go north, a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade, once the Xuance Mansion is in an emergency, then it can only be transferred from at least one brigade from the northward army to reinforce, then there are only two infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade left to the north, and the total is less than 20,000 people.
The Mughal army amassed an army of 150,000 at Morsidabad.
Almost eight to one!
And it was the Ming army that attacked them for defense.
Bahadursha thought that if he couldn't win, he would simply find a rope and hang himself.
However, he didn't know that he had made another mistake that many people who tried to challenge Yang Feng had made before, he had underestimated the Ming army's fortress defense capabilities, and he had fallen into the trap of the Ming army's favorite meat grinder, Kang Mazi had made this mistake many years earlier, then the Dutch had made this mistake, and later the British and their allies, the Javanese, had also made this mistake, and then ......
"Let them bleed dry!"
Qin Xu said lightly.
Then he waved his hand very casually.
Outside the dark fort, on the fort built by the British, behind the one-meter-thick reinforced concrete parapet wall, a cannon suddenly spewed flames, shells of various calibers whistling through the sky, and then smashed down on the Mughal warships that had just docked, and the flames of the explosion instantly flooded this simple pier that was seven miles away.
Pity the Mughal soldiers, before they could set foot on the riverbank, they were crushed to pieces under this terrible shelling.
And that's just the beginning. (To be continued.) )
