Chapter 375: India
The war in India began as a conflict between religions, the brutality of the Hindus of the Kingdom of Vijayanagar by the Hindus of the Kingdom of Bahmari.
In the beginning, it was only a small conflict between the Vijayanagar kingdom and the Bahmari kingdom, and when the Vijayanagar kingdom gained the upper hand, the Tughluk dynasty of North India had to join the war.
When it comes to religion, everything becomes complicated, and reason can no longer prevail unless faith is shaken.
He sat in front of Zhu Gaoxian very restrainedly, he didn't expect that the prince of the Ming Dynasty who he was going to talk to was so young, he seemed to realize that he would come, and he seemed very determined.
"Your Royal Highness!" Seeing that Zhu Gaoxian was about to speak, Heli Heluo hurriedly got up.
"Sit down!" Zhu Gaoxian raised his hand and pressed it down, he looked at the Hari Hala without a trace, in his memory, the Kingdom of Vijayanagal once left a treasure in the world, and it was once known as the world's twenty lost ancient civilizations.
This is both the wisdom of the people and the achievement of the ruling class.
"Do you believe in Lord Shiva?" Zhu Gaoxian asked.
"Yes, Lord Shiva is above, and she will bless Her Honorable Royal Highness!" He performed a Buddhist ritual that Zhu Gaoxian couldn't understand.
The core doctrine of Hinduism is the racial system, which is of great benefit to maintaining the backwardness and poverty of a region.
"Lord Shiva is your native god, this king understands." Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of the tea bowl, "If we help you drive out the invaders and outsiders, what benefits can we get from you?" ”
Hari Hala had already thought about it long before he came, but he still couldn't hide his excitement, "Your Royal Highness, my people are in dire straits, Lord Shiva can't sleep at night, and she has mercy on her people. But you are not only selling weapons to us, but also to our opponents, which is very bad! ”
Zhu Gaoxian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Han Li Luo, and said with a smile, "Really?" It seems that someone is deceiving the king. However, you should know that there are thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty, and there are not a few people who run around outside all the year round, they are all businessmen, and they only see benefits in their eyes. The king believed that the only way to solve this problem was to end the war as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" "If your country can help us win this war, we are willing to give the two Great Khanates to the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming can guarantee the faith and survival of the people in that land." ”
Zhu Gaoxian nodded at the dog, and the dog hurriedly went out to find Jing Qing in, pointing at Jing Qing and saying to Heli Haluo, "Record your words, this is a contract between you and my Da Ming, if so, the armies of the two Great Khanates will be dealt with by my Da Ming, but you must make it clear to your people that the army of Da Ming was invited by you, not our invasion of you." ”
"Good!" He was very happy, he breathed a sigh of relief, if Da Ming asked for money, he would definitely have no money. It's just that before he had time to be happy, the prince of Daming spoke.
"A war is expensive, and the output of the lands of the two Great Khanates should be clearly written as the reward that your country gave me to the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes!" Hari Hala gritted his teeth and agreed for the time being, waiting until those invaders were driven out, and he would find a way to do the rest, otherwise, he would not even be able to keep his own land.
After the contract was signed and Hari Hora was led out, Jing Qing asked with some concern, "Your Highness, are you really going to send troops?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhu Gaoxian was satisfied, and asked Jing Qing to stay first, while asking the dog to call Zhang Yu.
When everyone arrived, Zhu Gaoxian said that he was going to send troops to India, "Don't look at India's land area, their arable area is larger than my Ming Dynasty." Moreover, the climatic conditions of India can be said to be a paradise for crops, with no frost all year round, like planting rice, which can be harvested three times a year and four crops a year. India has vast plains, accounting for half of the country's land area, I Daming has many mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, and very little arable area. “
"What does Your Highness mean that India can be used to grow grains in the future, so that there will be no famine in my Ming Dynasty?" Jing Qing finally understood Zhu Gaoxian's intentions, and he had to be moved again by this prince who cared about the people.
"Not bad!" Zhu Gaoxian was full of confidence, "What Daming lacks is people, as long as there are people, we can do anything, and in the future, we can send people out, to Mingwei Island, to India, to any country with few people." ”
Zhang Yu knelt down and said, "The minister is willing to go on an expedition to the Quartet for His Highness!" “
Zhu Gaoxian helped Zhang Yu up with his own hands, and he said, "To be honest, if you still fight like before, riding a horse and wielding a sword, I really don't dare to let you go to war." Now, it's up to you, a veteran, to go on the expedition. ”
"I can't ask for it!" Zhang Yu was full of smiles, he originally thought that after his son was used by the four princes, he could only hang his sword high from now on, and he would die at home, who would have thought that there would be a day to go out to fight for the rest of his life.
"The minister has always heard the dog talk about today's war, how to use grenades, how to use submachine guns, how to use land chariots, the minister is envious, often scolds the dog, and is greedy all day long, and now there is a day when he goes to the battlefield in person, the minister is so happy."
Zhang Yu took out a map from the palace, including a detailed map of the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty, several surrounding vassal states, and India.
Not long after, Zhu Di ordered a few adjutant generals, who came to report to him, checked the map in the barracks together, and discussed combat countermeasures.
"This side is North India, this side is South India, but now there is no South India or North India, this is the Great Khanate of Delhi, this is the Bahmani Kingdom, this is the Vijayanagar near the south, this orange is the Indians of the Hindu faith, and the part we are going to fight is a large area beyond that."
"Good! The last general has waited too long for this day, and the last general thinks, my Ming Dynasty's military strength is so strong, it is not easy to occupy that piece of land, and His Royal Highness is too cautious, why should he keep his strength? ”
Zhang Yu felt that he had to correct Zhu Gaoxian's name, "From ancient times to the present, it is inevitable that the teacher will be famous. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, even if Your Highness is for the people of the world, but you can't ignore justice. Otherwise, it will not be for the benefit of our people, but for the disaster. ”
He told several lieutenants what he knew, "For example, this time, His Highness also reached an agreement with the crown prince of the Vijayanagar Kingdom and signed the credentials. All we have to do is take this large area, and the land here will be ours, and we just need to make sure that we don't interfere with their religion. “
"These guys are stupid, aren't they? Can you skip eating, and can't you not believe in teaching? Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Regardless of these, everyone, each of you will select your own soldiers, prepare your equipment, and set off in ten days, first take the train to Lanna, and then take the route from the Great Khanate of Bengal to India." His Royal Highness said that he only needs seventy percent of this wave of Indian spices, and the remaining thirty percent is ours, and when the time comes, he will restrain his subordinates to ensure His Highness's part of the spices. “
"Obey the orders of the commander!" Jiang Yu and the others smiled, everyone knew that Indian spices are good things, and spices are abundant there, and spices have always been more valuable than gold.
Zhu Di gave an order, and the students of Daming University of Defense Technology also rushed to the front line, they may not be able to go to the battlefield for the time being, but following the logistics group to understand the battlefield situation in time can also increase some experience.
Zhu Di stood on the city tower, next to Xia Yuanji, he said infinitely worried, "I've been worried, the current war is different from before, the soldiers don't have to go to the battlefield to fight directly, one by one, they are pampered, and I don't know if this is good or bad?" ”
Xia Yuanji said with a smile, "Your Majesty, a generation has a generational way of life. Back then, when the minister was young, in order to study, he walked twenty miles every day, without paper and pen, and in the winter, he held a wooden stick in his hand and wrote on the ground, shivering from the cold. Today's children, sitting in classrooms with bright windows, and schools far away provide accommodation, and tuition and food fees are all free. These children, when they grow up in the future, do they know how to be grateful to the court and the emperor? ”
Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, "Grateful or not, I don't care, as long as they remember, everyone is promising, only then can the Ming Dynasty have hope, and they can always be invincible." Didn't the fourth child say it? As long as the Ming people have an arrogance in their bones, they are stronger than anything else. ”
To the northeast of the Great Khanate of Delhi are the Himalayas, which act as a barrier separating India from China.
The train brought the military armament and the army of the Ming Dynasty to Lanna, and after a short rest here, Xu Huizu came forward to negotiate with the Great Khanate of Bengal and borrowed the route from the Great Khanate of Bengal to India.
At this time, India has been beaten into a sieve, the people have been displaced, the corpses are everywhere, the children are eaten, the world is miserable, the Ganges River is floating with corpses, and the air seems to be filled with the smell of rancidity.
Zhang Yu is a person who knows the policy of the Ming Dynasty very well, after he saw it, he couldn't help but sigh, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is really a master in playing with power, he gently played with the distant Ming Dynasty, and this side became a hellish existence.
The army was divided into three routes, advancing in the north, west and east, with sergeants on horseback and submachine guns charging in front and land chariots in the middle.
The army to the north was responsible for clearing the kings and nobles of the Great Khanate of Delhi, and the army to the west was to eliminate the kings and nobles of the Bahmani state, which were originally the dynasty established by the governor sent by the Gur dynasty, and the Ming army was welcomed and embraced by the native Indians wherever they went.
