"These people are all poor and eating cow on the street?"

Tang He saw some unclaimed cows, swaggering down the street, occasionally leaving a stall or two of cow dung, which would attract many local Bangladeshi natives to come forward and loot.

Tang He's brain directly felt like it had been hit hard by 10,000 points.

He and Zhu Chongba have been herding cattle since childhood, even when they were poor, they didn't think about grabbing cow dung to eat.

In the face of Tang He's shock, Maluari, who accompanied him, was not surprised.

This well-informed Persian merchant had already traveled back and forth on the continent of India many times when he went to the Ming Dynasty.

For these Bengalis who looted cow dung, Marouali was not surprised.

"General, the cow in the eyes of these people is a sacred holy thing, especially these pure color cows, every time they sacrifice festivals, they are to be clothed with saffron and enjoy worship in the temple, now ordinary people can grab cow dung, in fact, it is not to eat, but to smear these cow dung on themselves, or on the yard of their home, to bring blessings to themselves!" As a less devout Celestial cultist, Maruari was also quite disdainful of these indigenous Indians.

"Oh, it turned out that it wasn't cow dung, I said, how could anyone be so stupid!" Tang He looked at the swarthy earthies who had snatched a hand of cow dung, and finally felt a little better in his heart, at least not as disgusting as just now.

Who knew that Marouali smiled and listened to him continue.

"General, they won't eat cow dung, but they will drink cow urine!"

Tang He's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had heard something very terrifying.

"What do you say? Drinking cow urine? Are these people crazy? ”

As a senior cowherd baby, Tang He, but he knows the strong smell of cow urine.

He really couldn't imagine how a normal person would think of drinking cow urine.

As if to confirm what Marouali said, I saw that in the crowded street, the white Indian sacred cow suddenly spewed out a stream of yellow liquid from between its hind legs.

The surrounding Indian natives all seemed to have seen a great joy, and one by one they either used their bowls and cups in their hands or held their hands to pick up the hot cow urine.

They drank the cow's urine like sweet wine, and drank it with happiness on their faces.

After drinking this meal of cow urine, these Indian natives began to worship the sacred cow one by one.

After the white sacred cow finished pulling and sprinkling, it nibbled on a fruit on the side of the road, and then continued to walk away leisurely.

Tang He looked at the disgusting scene in front of him, and his stomach turned over in an instant.

If I hadn't had time to eat anything, I'm afraid I would have vomited it long ago.

"These barbarians are disgusting!" Tang He said with a pale face.

Maruari was indeed surprised, "These Brahmins believe in something strange, and sooner or later they will all be punished by God!" ”

Tang He originally planned to taste the local food outside the city of Xindali, but when he saw a few vendors who had just drunk cow urine, they didn't even wash their hands stained with cow urine, so they went to make cakes again, and Tang He almost vomited again.

"Let's go! Walk! Don't eat, don't eat! ”

Tang and he turned around and fled, preferring to go back to the boat and nibble on the hard biscuits and jerky than eat the local delicacies of cow urine.

Tang He had just returned to the dock outside the city when suddenly a team of officials from New Dali City ran over.

It turned out that they were people sent by Duan Gong, and soon after, Duan Gong led several of his personal guards and Xinfu generals to come to the dock in person to greet the Ming Dynasty's Xinguo Gong, Zhennan General Tang He.

"The last general, Duan Gong, meet Lord Xinguo!"

Duan Power led his subordinates to salute respectfully.

According to the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, Tang He is the Duke of the Kingdom and Duan Gong is the Marquis, so he naturally wants to give a big salute to Tang He.

However, Tang He was a well-known loyal person, and he felt quite cordial when he saw Duan Gong, a Ming vassal in a foreign country.

Although Duan Gong was the head of Dali in the Mengyuan Dynasty before, now that the Ming Dynasty has beaten the Mongols, he doesn't know his father, and Duan Gong's loyalty has long been swept away.

Especially now that Duan Power has led 10,000 people to gain a foothold in Bengal, the only one who can provide him with support is the Ming Imperial Court.

Under Duan Gong's repeated invitations, Tang He finally agreed to the invitation and led the Ming soldiers into the new Dali City.

The Ming soldiers who had been adrift at sea for several months were immediately shocked by Duan Gong's generosity as soon as they entered the city.

Thousands of Ming soldiers entered the city, each accompanied by sweet wine, bacon and rice, and not only that, almost every soldier was served by an indigenous young woman with slightly dark skin next to him.

These Ming soldiers were originally at the age of dragons and tigers, and they had been holding back at sea for so long, so for these young women with exotic characteristics, they were naturally not honest.

Who knew that these young Indian indigenous women, not only did not show panic and fear for the teasing of the Ming soldiers, but showed unconcealable joy on their faces.

In this way, it almost strengthened the lust and courage of all the Ming soldiers.

A thunderous collision sounded from time to time in the new Dali City.

Tang He led the Ming Dynasty into the city with so many people, so there was no need to worry about Duan Gong's intention to rebel and sneak attack.

After all, if it really starts, Duan Gong's 10,000 people are probably not the opponent of Tang and these thousands of people.

What's more, Duan Gong had already regarded Daming as his last reliance, so how could he attack Tang He's Daming officers and soldiers?

Therefore, these thousands of Ming officers and soldiers unscrupulously relaxed in the new Dali City.

It's just that unlike these soldiers who drink happily and eat and drink, Tang He is full of food and wine that Duan Gong treats him.

It's not soup and not being hungry, it's that Tang He saw that the cooks who made these delicious wines and delicacies were all indigenous to India.

This reminded him of the natives he saw drinking cow urine on the street.

When I thought of the full delicacies on the table, all made by the hands that had taken over the cow urine, the soup and my heart were full of disgust.

Tang He didn't have the heart to eat and drink, so he directly turned the topic to the topic.

One of the important tasks of his trip to the West this time was given to him by Zhu Han.

"I have been ordered by His Royal Highness to bring you a hundred light artillery, as well as five thousand catties of gunpowder, another thousand new muskets, and a thousand sets of brand new plate armor!"

As soon as they heard what Tang He said, Duan Gong and his generals were all surprised.

They had long thought that the Ming Dynasty would reward them with some weapons, but they never expected that there would be so many.

"A hundred guns?"

"A thousand sets of iron plate armor?"

"A thousand muskets?"

These Dali generals under Duan Gong are no longer the soil buns that came out of Yunnan back then.

After obtaining some weapons from the Ming merchant ships, they had an excellent experience in the process of beating the indigenous people of India.

In front of the artillery of the Dali army, it often only takes one or two rounds of artillery bombardment to make thousands of indigenous Indian troops collapse and flee.

And those indigenous samurai who wore heavy armor and rode tall horses were exactly the same as those of Paper Lake when faced with muskets and artillery.

Duan Power's subordinates have been fighting in Bengal for more than a year, and only 300 soldiers have actually hung up on the battlefield.

Now in the Ming Dynasty rewarded these weapons and armor, that period of Dali army can go sideways in the local area.

"The court's kindness is like a mountain, Duan Gong is willing to break his bones and beat His Majesty and His Royal Highness violently!"

Duan Gong hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Tang He.

"However, so much equipment is not given to you in vain, His Royal Highness said that in the future, Daming will set up a business here in New Dali to purchase local products, and you must not only provide protection, but also tax exemption!" Tang He then said.

Such a small request, of course, Duan Gong accepted it without hesitation.

For Duan Gong, he wished that the Ming court would set up a business in New Dali, so that it would not only be more convenient to sell the products of Bengal, but also to purchase Ming weapons and equipment more conveniently through these merchants.

"Marshal Tang, this business name that His Royal Highness said is the Seven Seas Firm?" Duan Gong asked beside him.

Although he was far away in Bangladesh, Duan Gong knew from those Ming merchants who passed by that the Seven Seas Merchant in the Ming Dynasty was the largest shop in the world.

The big shopkeeper of the Seven Seas Merchant is called Li Zhen, who is the brother-in-law of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and a proper relative of the emperor.

With such a strong background, if the Seven Seas Firm can do business here in Bangladesh, it will definitely be able to provide very strong support for Duan Gong.

What kind of artillery, musket or armor was not a problem at all for this rich Seven Seas Firm.

"It's not Seven Seas Firm, it's a newly established firm." Tang He shook his head and said.

"Oh? I don't know what it is? Duan Gong hurriedly asked.

At this time, stimulated by the soup and the already hot Indian song and dance, several large glasses of healthy and hygienic sugar cane wine were drunk.

As the so-called wine has passed three rounds, Duan Gong and Tang He are also casually acquainted.

"His Royal Highness said that the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty should be set up here in New Dali!" Tang He said with a smile.

"The East India Company?" Duan Gong pondered this novel name that he had never heard before.

India, this word, Duan Gong still knew from a map of the Ming Dynasty of unknown origin.

On that incomplete map, the land where Duan Gong was located was marked as an India.

Install the latest version. 】

Duan Gong thought, maybe because I belong to India in the east here, so I call it the East India Company.

"This East India Company was personally set up by His Royal Highness the King himself, and its main business is spices, precious stones, and slaves!" Tang He began to explain to Duan Gong the future industrial plans of the East India Company.

Zhu Han's establishment of the East India Company was definitely not a simple bad taste, but to use the East India Company to influence Duan Gong's forces.

The rich Indian continent, if it weren't in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how rich he was, it would be meaningless.

Especially now that the territory is being expanded everywhere, the demand for money and population is never-ending.

With the help of the East India Company, the wealth and population of the Indian continent were used by the Ming Dynasty, which was the way to truly become a strong country.

"In this case, then I will definitely obey the orders of His Royal Highness in the future, and when the time comes, I will help protect this East India Company, and I will definitely help Daming to promote education and change customs here!" Once again, Duan Gong couldn't wait to express his loyalty.

But his words made Tang He shake his head.

"No, no, no!" Tang He hurriedly said.

Duan Gongduan was confused, and he didn't understand why Tang He reacted like this.

"Do you want Brother Tang to advise?" Duan Gong hurriedly asked.

Tang He took a sip of the sugar cane wine in front of him and continued.

"I came this time, and I also brought the password of His Royal Highness the King of England, you wrote to the court before, saying that you want to promote education and change customs in the local area, His Royal Highness feels that this matter is very inappropriate!"

"Huh? What's wrong with Brother Tang? What did His Highness say? ”

Duan Gong really couldn't understand what was wrong with what he was doing.

According to the holy decree promulgated by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty not only wanted to pacify the land of all parties, but also to educate the people everywhere, change customs and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Duan Gong didn't know where he was wrong.

"To be honest, I didn't know much before I came, but when I came to your new Dali City, I can be regarded as understanding, His Royal Highness the King of England!" Tang He laughed.

"Please also ask Brother Tang to speak clearly!" Duan Gong asked.

It turned out that Duan Gong said in the last recital that he wanted to change customs in India and educate the local indigenous people, which frightened Zhu Han.

Hinduism, which is now prevalent on the Indian continent, is Hinduism, which has developed from Brahmanism, and the caste system restricts all classes of people.

This restriction is not only physical, but also mentally controlled.

Even the most difficult days, under the anesthesia of this religion, people can deal with it calmly.

After all, in this religious environment, the afterlife is far more important than this one.

Since we have already endured hardships as cattle and horses in this life, if we don't hurry up and practice well, then we will continue to suffer as cattle and horses in the next life.

As for how to practice well, it is naturally to be a obedient person who keeps to himself according to the teachings of Hinduism.

Whatever the nobles of the high castes tell them to do, then they have to do something.

Otherwise, these high-caste aristocratic lords have the privilege of communicating with God, and they can easily let these lowly embryos continue to be cheap embryos in the next life.

Therefore, Zhu Han felt that this caste system in India must be well maintained.

Only by maintaining the caste system in India can the Han people of the Ming Dynasty be able to become masters in India, and they are very reassuring.

As long as all Indians believe in the caste system, there will be no Chen Sheng, Huang Chao and Zhang Jiao of India.

"His Royal Highness, I really admire you when you see thousands of miles!" After Duan Gong heard this explanation, he couldn't help but clap his eyes.

The status of the more than 10,000 Dali people in India is equivalent to that of the Brahmins, and only if they can entrap those Brahmins and Kshatriya warriors, the tens of millions of commoners and untouchables must be slaves for the rest of their lives.

"His Royal Highness also said that this sexual system must not only be maintained, but also to avoid these indigenous huddles, once they unite one day, even if they can't make any trouble, it will make it impossible for Daming to maintain his rule here."

This is a little unclear, Duan Gong couldn't figure it out for a while, what does this mean?

Logically speaking, as long as the caste system can maintain India, the tens of millions of civilians on the continent will always be civilians, and how can they have the ability to threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty?
