Chapter 224: The Untouchables Can't Be Saved
Catholic countries that believe in God often extort a ransom after captivating the infidels, then kill the hostages, and brand themselves as holy knights.
Princess Alina felt that her status was noble, and even if she was captured by the Ming army, she could let her father redeem herself.
It's just that as soon as her words fell, her arm was grabbed by Zhu Han and pulled directly into her arms.
Princess Alina was frightened, she screamed and struggled, but Zhu Han was extremely powerful, and she couldn't break free from Zhu Han's control at all.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and let me go.
。 Princess Alina cried out in horror.
The Tianzhu translator next to him had a lewd smile on his face, he looked at Zhu Han, ready to withdraw at any time, and did not dare to spoil the good deeds of this noble prince.
"Let go?" Zhu Han smiled evilly: "I am rich all over the world, but there is no shortage of ransom, if you still want to be free, then you must be obedient." ”
Zhu Han said that, he pushed the stunned Princess Alina aside, asked his soldiers to return the maid to her, and then imprisoned her in the army.
Compared to dealing with Princess Alina, who was captured, Zhu Han had more important things to do.
The Ming army defeated the main force of the Delhi Sultanate in this battle and captured a princess, which was enough to shake the entire Tianzhu continent.
Zhu Han must make good use of this opportunity to let the Daming East India Company gain a firm foothold in the Tianzhu Continent with this victory.
The most important thing now is still to let the soldiers of the Ming army under his command continue to pursue the enemy and clean up the battlefield.
After a day and a night of pursuit, the Ming army completely ended this battle.
They also finally confirmed the victory report.
Inside the city of New Dali.
Lan Yu was reporting to Zhu Han on the results of the victory.
"I would like to inform Your Highness that our army has beheaded 8,000 people this time, captured 31,800 prisoners, and has more than 60,000 cattle and horses of various kinds, in addition to countless weapons, food, armor and other materials, and the specific amount is being counted one by one."
After listening to Lan Yu's report, Zhu Han was very happy.
At this time, Duan Gong and the others, who were standing on the side, immediately knelt on the ground, wanting Zhu Han to congratulate.
"Your Highness is invincible, and I am mighty!"
"10,000 to 100,000, Your Highness is really the reincarnation of Han Xin in vain!"
"Da Ming is mighty, Tianzhu thief, I don't dare to commit the Heavenly Empire again!"
……
Duan Gong's congratulatory words of the others, although they sounded a little numb.
But what each of them said came from the heart.
Because this battle under the new Dali city really completely shattered their three views.
Duan Gong and the others never thought that the army of the Ming Dynasty would be so strong.
It only took 10,000 men to defeat the 100,000 army of the Delhi Sultanate, and to be able to decapitate so many people.
Duan Gong couldn't help but think in his heart: At the beginning, Chen Youliang threw himself off his armor, and he thought that Chen Youliang's army's combat effectiveness was high enough, and now it seems that the Ming army's army is the real peak of combat power, otherwise Chen Youliang would not be compressed in the corner of the southwest.
Duan Gong and his generals witnessed Zhu Han's command of the Ming army to an easy victory.
Then, Zhu Han's next thing will be much simpler.
"Now that the Delhi Sultanate is a defeated general, there is nothing to worry about."
"India, oh, that is, Tianzhu here, is really a rare treasure land, I Daming wants to turn this place into the granary and market of Daming, so, from today on, Daming's East India Company has taken root in the new Dali City."
When Zhu Han announced this matter, Duan Gong and the others were very determined on their faces.
Their lives were all saved by Zhu Han, if there was no Ming army to defeat the besieging army of the Delhi Sultanate, Duan Gong and they would sooner or later become the souls of the Delhi Sultanate.
Now let alone set up an East India Company on their territory, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to take over all of Duan Gong's territory and give them a vain official position to return to the Central Plains for retirement, they are very willing.
It's just that if Zhu Han knew about their idea, he would only laugh at what they thought was too beautiful.
India is too far away from the Central Plains, and there is a Chen Han regime in the southwest, and the only way is by sea.
It takes a lot of time and money to get a person to India.
How could Zhu Han let Duan Gong and the others go back to the Central Plains to enjoy Qingfu?
The Ming East India Company was established today, and the criminal colonial rule had just begun, and it was the time when money was needed to contribute power.
Zhu Han naturally wouldn't waste Duan Gong and their precious manpower.
"Our Ming East India Company is not a yamen of the imperial court, but a business."
"If you have money to contribute, you can get shares in the firm."
"At present, thirty percent of the shares of the East India Company have not been distributed to anyone else, and I have left them exclusively for you."
Zhu Han said to Duan Gong and the others.
As soon as they heard this, Duan Gong's people were taken aback, they never thought of this, the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty still had their share.
"Is what Your Highness said true?" Duan Gong suddenly became a little excited.
He had already heard about the East India Company established by Daming, which had a total share capital of several million taels of silver.
If he and his generals can take 30% of the shares, wouldn't it mean that they can get a share of one million taels of silver for no reason?
I just don't know what Zhu Han plans to let them take into shares.
"Of course it's true, you don't have to pay, you just need to contribute, the new Dali City and the surrounding land for thousands of miles are still the fiefdom of your Dali Duan clan, and many of the Tianzhu natives in it have surrendered to the Delhi Sultanate, pick out some of them, and make an example of them, which can not only deter other natives from being honest, but also obtain a large amount of land, which belongs to the East India Company." Zhu Han said with a smile.
As soon as Duan Gong heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
The Delhi Sultanate not only had more than 100,000 troops under its own command, but also tens of thousands of troops made up by the local Tianzhu natives.
It was these wavering wall grasses that provided the army of the Delhi Sultanate with military rations.
Duan Gong had long wanted to take revenge on them.
Now that Zhu Han personally formulated the clean-up plan, Duan Gong is naturally very willing to implement it.
Subsequently, Duan Gong led his army, with the main force of the Ming army led by Lan Yu, to liquidate the Tianzhu indigenous nobles around New Dali City one by one.
For these Tianzhu nobles, a disaster befell them.
Duan Gong and Lan Yu will not be the slightest soft-hearted towards these capricious Tianzhu native nobles.
As the so-called dog is in a hurry, he will also jump over the wall, and these Tianzhu indigenous nobles are not good men and women.
They each had their own private armies, and now they saw that the Ming army was not good at coming, and wanted to liquidate their rebellion, so they immediately colluded with each other.
All of a sudden, as soon as the army of the Delhi Sultanate left, waves of indigenous Tianzhu rebels emerged around Dali City.
However, even the army of the Delhi Sultanate was no match for the Ming army.
These days, the army of the Tianzhu natives is a group of vulnerable guys.
。
。
。
Bursts of smoke lit up on the land outside the city of Xindali.
For those disobedient natives, the Ming army will not be relentless in the slightest.
"Kill!"
One by one, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted: "Kill all these Tianzhu rebels!" ”
In every battle, these poor Tianzhu indigenous rebels were no match for the Ming army.
The spears in the hands of the Ming soldiers waved, and one by one the fresh lives fell in a pool of blood.
A war of reckoning that lasted for half a month ended with a complete victory for the Ming army.
The few Tianzhu rebels who dared to take the lead were completely annihilated.
You know, these leading indigenous nobles of God Zhu are all Brahmin high castes and have great possessions.
But in the eyes of the Ming army, a high caste of Brahmins is no different from those ant-like pariahs.
Nearly half of the high-caste Brahmin nobility was uprooted by the Ming army.
Their men became slaves of the Ming East India Company.
The women were assigned to the Ming soldiers according to their age and appearance, or to the Tianzhu indigenous soldiers under the East India Company.
These indigenous soldiers belonging to the East India Company, all of whom were of the lower middle caste, were now able to obtain a high-caste aristocratic woman as a wife, and they were all glad that they had followed the right master.
However, the Brahmin women assigned to these indigenous soldiers of the East India Company were either older or more ordinary-looking.
As for the young and beautiful high-class goods in the upper castes, they were given priority to the Ming soldiers.
For this result, these captive Brahmin women were quite happy in their hearts.
The Ming army was able to defeat the Delhi Sultanate, and they were also able to defeat the Brahmins, which means that they were also high-ranking people.
These Tianzhu women feel that it is better to fall into the hands of the higher people than to fall into the hands of those lowly and low-caste soldiers, don't they?
Zhu Han used his iron and bloody skills to immediately suppress all the opposition forces in the New Dali area.
Whether it was a Brahmin, a Kshatriya, or a commoner pariah, everyone knew how powerful the Ming army was.
Through a series of actions, Zhu Han not only cracked down on these opposition natives, but also obtained a large area of land.
On the Indian continent, there are almost no winters throughout the year, and most of the time the grain grows very well, except for occasional floods.
Therefore, after acquiring this large piece of land, with a little operation, with the land around Xindadi City, it can feed an army of 100,000 people.
Of course, Zhu Han's purpose in establishing the Daming East India Company was not just for the immediate grain interests.
The East India Company was nothing more than a springboard and the beginning of the Ming colonization of India.
It's a pity that the current Ming Dynasty has always had limited power to cross the ocean.
If you want to conquer this continent, you can only advance step by step.
After acquiring this large piece of land, it was all controlled by the Daming East India Company.
Lan Yu was full of doubts about this.
"Your Highness, with so much land, according to our usual rules, shouldn't we defeat the local tyrants and divide the land? I see that the common people here in Tianzhu are not as good as animals, they are simply miserable, and if they give them the land, they will definitely be grateful to Dade and support our Daming! ”
Lan Yu still looks at the common people of the Central Plains with the same eyes as the commoners and untouchables on the Tianzhu Continent.
This shows that he has made a serious mistake.
You must know that although they are also two-legged people, the contents of the head on the neck are completely different.
Obviously, the soldiers of the Ming army are basically from the lower classes, and they have instinctive support for the policy of fighting local tyrants and dividing land since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Even, they want to carry this set of policies to Tianzhu.
Zhu Han smiled mysteriously, "Lan Yu, you have made a big mistake!" ”
"Your Highness, don't scare me, I've always been honest and haven't made any mistakes!" Lan Yu suddenly became nervous.
Two days ago, he had just robbed two Tianzhu Brahmin beauties on the street and made him a concubine, and he thought that Zhu Han was going to beat him.
"Although they are also human beings, you must know that the people of the Ming Dynasty and the untouchables of India are not the same kind of people at all!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lan Yu suddenly became even more puzzled.
"What's the difference, it's the same person, one head and two legs, why is it different!" Sapphire asked.
"Our Chinese people know that Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other, and also know that the officials are forced to rebel against the people, it can be said that although they are diligent and honest on weekdays, as long as they are forced to a dead end, my Chinese people are definitely as fierce as the dragon and the tiger.
But the commoners and untouchables here in Tianzhu have already been taught by their Brahmins to spoil their brains, and they all believe in the theory of suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life, even if you treat them well now, many people may not appreciate it, because if they can't practice in this life, they may not be able to return in the next life, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them. ”
Zhu Han's explanation made Lan Yu suddenly surprised.
"According to His Royal Highness, aren't the ordinary people of Tianzhu willing to be cattle and horses for a lifetime?"
"Hehe, what you said, they are willing to be cattle and horses for a lifetime, isn't it good news for us?"
"What Your Highness said makes sense, these fools are only worthy of being cattle and horses for the rest of their lives!" Lan Yuton looked like he hated it.
Almost all of the people here in Tianzhu have their own slave attributes, and they are simply perfect slaves of colonial rule.
Zhu Han didn't want to turn 'them' into hot-blooded men like the Chinese people.
If everyone becomes a fighter who is unwilling to be lowly, then I am afraid that the first target of their rebellion will be the colonists of the Ming Dynasty.
So.
For Zhu Han, the best result is that the people of Tianzhu will always be their obedient slaves for life.
"You have to remember for me that the untouchables of Tianzhu will never be saved."
"Not only are they unsalvageable, but we also have to maintain their seemingly irrational caste system."
"As long as the Tianzhu people are still following the caste system, then they will always be slaves!"
Zhu Han's words were not only said to Lan Yu, but then he also asked Duan Gong and the others to do so.
After the Ming army defeated the Delhi Sultanate and the Ming East India Company was established here, Zhu Han carried out a detailed division of duties.
The power of the Ming East India Company was very great, not only with administrative, trade and military powers, but also with its own diplomatic powers.
Among these powers, the power of trade was exercised by the Seven Seas Firm, in which it had a stake.
Military command and diplomatic power will be taken care of by special generals sent by the imperial court in the future.
As for the local governance and administrative power, Zhu Han handed him over to Duan Gong.
After all, this piece of land was first brought down by Duan Gong's subordinates, and the Ming Dynasty will colonize the Tianzhu Continent in the future.
