According to statistics, there are 33 shareholders and Zhu Jun who participated, collecting 50 million taels of silver, enough for the early investment, everyone signed their own signatures, calculated their respective dividend share capital, Zhu Jun agreed on some matters, and hurriedly went out of the back door to go back to the palace.

With the silver, things naturally went a lot faster, the prefectures and counties began to recruit migrant workers, steel and sleepers were also negotiating, and everything was prepared in an orderly manner, and Zhu Jun was also looking forward to the arrival of the inventors of the two steam engines in the palace.

On June 18, the eighth year of the new year, the elite of the military parade of the various armies gradually rushed to the city of Nanjing, and most of the leaders were the governors of the military regions, which showed the importance attached to the military parade among the various armies, and on the second day, under the leadership of Li Dingguo, the chief of the general staff, the army governors Mu Jianming, Li Xiao, Zhang Youde, Wang Qiu, the commanders of the naval divisions, Liu Guoxuan, Yang Rang, and Liu Er, together with Xu Dachang, the chief soldier of the Indian mercenary corps, came to the meeting.

The place of the meeting was in the Qinzheng Palace, seven or eight of the highest-ranking generals of the Ming Dynasty stood on one side after three long lives, Zhu Jun's expression looked extremely happy, when he was in Haidu, the people around him were these people, and now the territory is getting bigger and bigger, everyone is on different sides, and it is not easy to get together.

"Come, give a seat to the generals." Zhu Jun waved his hand, the chamberlain who had already prepared moved a chair from the apse and came in, Zhu Jun walked down the jade steps of His Majesty, and the generals wanted to salute again, Zhu Jun pouted: "What is this for, there are no outsiders here, everyone is casual." ”

Everyone sat down and told Zhu Jun some interesting things in the army, only Xu Dachang was later, and his official position was not high, although the colonial army was the best system, but there was still a few grades behind in front of these emperor's cronies and generals, so he sat on the side silently.

Zhu Jun glanced at Xu Dachang when he saw the stitches: "What?" Mr. Xu seems to have something on his mind today? What happened to the Colonial Legion? ”

Xu Dachang hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The last general just listened to the words of a few generals and fell into the gods, and there is no land in his heart, and now the governor of the East Indies has allocated a batch of food and salary, and the establishment of the regiment has been expanded to 80,000, and it is also equipped with old-style firearms, and now the training has entered the track, due to the spread of new Hinduism, the morale of the army is also extremely high, and many soldiers have said that they want to fight for the emperor, but it is just ........."

"Just what?" Zhu Jun has long been accustomed to being flattered, and under normal circumstances, these civil and military officials always like to make themselves happy by saying good things first, and then talking about difficulties.

"It's just that Protestantism has received a strong backlash from monks in other parts of India, and some Indian kings have even issued letters of state, asking for changes to the new teachings of our East Indies, and some monks from outside East India have crossed the border and are still spreading the old religion among ordinary villages.

Zhu Jun nodded. The East Indies, which the Ming army occupied, was only a small area in the southeastern corner of the entire Indian continent. There are several colonial forces throughout the Indian subcontinent. Not only the Aryans thousands of years ago. There are also areas ruled by the Arabs. In the heart of India. It was founded by the Mongols as the Mughal dynasty.

The history of India is a "history of constantly serving foreign peoples". The Aryans were the first to arrive here, and the first to establish their rule here. Subsequently, the Sai people, the Xianbei people, the Kushan people, the Turks, the Huns, and the Mongols successively established their rule here. In the XIV century. The Mongol Timur captured Delhi. Mainly for plunder. And no rule was established. The establishment of the ruling place was the fifth generation of Sun Babur in other lands. Babur quickly wiped out the Turks here. Occupy Delhi. The Mughal dynasty was founded. Of all the alien rulers of India. The Mughal dynasty can be said to be a relatively powerful dynasty. At one time ruled most of the whole of India.

And at this time. According to Jinyi Weidi intelligence. Now the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb has been on the throne since the year before. Extremely devout towards Islam. He pursued a policy of narrow-minded religion. Destroying Hindu temples to convert mosques into mosques. As a result, there are many complaints in various places. The war continues. The ** power in various places has increased. It's in this day and age. The Aryan nobility who had ruled India for generations rebelled. These Aryans, who called themselves Maratites, were originally hereditary nobility in India. After the Mongol rulers entered India. It was a sign of submission to the Mongols. And still enjoy the privileges of thousands of years. Emperor Aurangzeb was very devout to Islam. As a result, Hindu-Hindu Termans have been **. And there was a protracted war with the dynasty. Afterwards. The Dutch arrived in the East Indies. Conquered the land king. And the rule was established. Then the Ming Dynasty ended the Dutch rule. Became the landlord of the East Indies. It was during this period. Fighting between the Mongols and the Marats continued. Completely ignore these foreign Han people. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty began to reform Hindu teachings. Things are just

There was a change.

Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb believed in Islam. In Hinduism, it is an insult to Allah and himself to label the Emperor as the god of the gods and the king of kings. Because there is only one Allah in the world. He is the ruler of all living beings. Reformed New Hinduism is clearly more evil than Hinduism has ever been.

The Marats were obviously extremely dissatisfied with the Ming colonizers' improvement of Hinduism. Precisely because of this. There was a sudden silence on both sides of the warring ground. Began to look at this new neighbor.

First of all, the neighbour did not seem to be friendly, and according to intelligence, the new owner of the small East Indies was recruiting a large number of soldiers, and both the Mongols and the Marats believed that the new neighbour might have greater ambitions. Secondly, this neighbor was evil, he set up a cult and killed disobedient monks (for the Marats).

The Mughal dynasty began to send envoys, followed by the Marats, they had to confirm once again whether the other party was still hostile, and they were naturally received by the Governor of the East Indies, who was originally the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, but in the colony, it was a civilian official sent by the imperial court, and the Governor had read the book of 'sages', and those who had read this kind of book always felt that they were standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, surrounded by barbarians and savages, and this inner sense of superiority was concentrated in the process of receiving the envoys. reprimanded the other party for obeying the king and demanding that the other party surrender; In the process of receiving the envoys, he was deliberately neglectful and spoke unruly.

The envoys originally wanted to find the Ming Emperor, the master, but the governor of the East Indies obviously had no interest, in his opinion, the lord of a wild land sent a messenger, and it was already a very high standard to have him to meet him, and if you want to see the emperor, you don't look in the mirror?

Emperor Aurangzeb and the Marats were angry, yes, when they encounter this kind of tendon, those who don't have fire will come to fire, but because the two sides contain each other, they did not attack, but began to infiltrate small groups of people to obtain information about new neighbors and instigation, you have to look at the direction of the wind first, and then try to test whether this new neighbor is easy to provoke, so there is this scene that Xu Dachang reported to Zhu Jun.

For these soil kings of India, Zhu Jun doesn't care, whether it is provocation or temptation, the Ming army will take them sooner or later, if they send them to the door themselves, they just can't ask for it, it is best to catch them all, and it is easier to save trouble.

Xu Dachang showed concern that the combat power of the Mughals and the Marats was not low, and both sides also had hundreds of thousands of troops, and the strength of the colonial legions alone was obviously not their opponent, if the war started in a hurry, he could not bear it, seeing that the emperor looked disapproving, Xu Dachang said: "Your Majesty, the Mughal and the Marats should not be underestimated, after all, they are both big countries with fertile fields, and every time they fight, the soldiers mobilized are hundreds of thousands, if they suddenly attack our East Indies, the outcome is unknown." ”

Zhu Jun nodded: "This is a long-term plan in advance, and I will make a decision after the sacrifice to the Taimiao Temple and the military parade." ”

No matter what, Zhu Jun doesn't have to rush for a while, all the worries will wait until the current matter has passed.

Xu Dachang no longer squeaked, but Liu Er smiled and said: "Why should General Xu worry, if there is something in the East Indies, the Nanyang Naval Division can immediately rush to the rescue, and Governor Zhang of Haidu can also raise troops into India at any time, today is a big day to see the emperor, don't say sad words." ”

Zhang Youde is the governor of Nanyang, who is in charge of the military power of the 40,000 army in Nanyang, and also echoed: "That is, with the emperor here, the world is big, but someone dares to covet my Ming territory, and he will definitely ruin other countries." ”

Zhu Jun listened with a smile, several people sang and harmonized, but there was a suspicion of patting his own ass, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, in half a month it will be the military parade period, the elite soldiers brought by your various armies must practice and drill well, don't go wrong during the parade, Xu Aiqing, you can rest assured, after the parade, it is time to solve those earth kings." ”

Seeing that the emperor was serious, everyone stood up solemnly and said together: "Please rest assured, the emperor will definitely supervise the last generals, and there will never be a slight fork." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and said to Li Dingguo: "Li Aiqing, the General Staff should pay attention to analyzing and analyzing India's intelligence and terrain, and after the military parade, give me a part." ”

"Yes." Li Dingguo is now the supreme commander of the General Staff of the Ming Dynasty, the General Staff and the Military Department are two different departments, the Military Department is in charge of logistics and the promotion of military attachés, while the General Staff is responsible for supervising the training of various armies in peacetime and the operational strategy in wartime, therefore, in a sense, Li Dingguo is half of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.
