But.

There is no need to worry at all that the soldiers of Chen Han's army will beat the singles.

Because they are all noble Kshatriyas!

Aristocrat! Proper aristocracy.

In Brahmanism, if a girl from one's own family marries a higher nobleman, her own family will also receive considerable glory and promotion.

Therefore, these single soldiers in Chen Han's army became the golden beetle son-in-law in the eyes of many Indian indigenous merchants or small landowners.

Their status in Hinduism is much lower than that of Kshatriya.

If it is a native-born Kshatriya nobleman, he basically does not bother to consider these low-caste families when marrying.

Now it's different.

A large number of soldiers of the Chen Han army wanted to marry wives, and a large number of indigenous Indians wanted to marry their daughters to high-caste nobles.

The two sides hit it off.

One Indian bride after another, with a large number of rich dowries, married one Chen Han soldier after another.

In less than two months, the soldiers of the Chen Han army, who were originally still in exile, all lived a happy life with status, wives, and money to spend.

The local Brahmin nobles also spared no effort to propagate that it was only a matter of time before they had an army of "Triad Gods" from the east to wipe out those hateful Celestial cultists!

The Indian natives had an army of the three gods, Chen Youliang became the king of the three gods, and the soldiers of the Han army lived a three-way life of "having status, wives, and money to spend".

They all have a bright future ahead of them!

And the Delhi Sultanate on the other side can't sit still!

Delhi City, the palatial palace of the Sultan.

Sultan Firuzisha looked at the battle report on the table, and his frown never relaxed.

He himself managed to spend a huge amount of people and wealth to barely sweep away the Brahmanical rebellion in the country.

But the ass had just sat down for two days when another wave of intruders emerged from the east.

This invader was none other than Chen Youliang, a former ally of the Delhi Sultanate.

However, at this time, the two sides were no longer allies, but became enemies who betrayed the alliance, Firuzisha had been taught a hard lesson by the Ming army, and naturally knew that the defeated generals of the Ming army were definitely not simple characters.

After all, Firuzisha knew that Chen Youliang had not only been at war with the Ming army for several years.

And he was able to retreat at the last moment and take away tens of thousands of troops, which shows that this person's ability is very strong.

Today's Delhi Sultanate is already in internal and external difficulties, and there is no surplus manpower and material resources to organize an army to defeat Chen Youliang.

What's more, even if an army is organized, it may not be the opponent of Chen Youliang's Han army.

The Glacchus knights in the Nazar area, with more than 10,000 people, were still beaten to pieces.

Therefore, Firuzisha wanted to send someone to renegotiate peace with Chen Youliang as soon as possible.

Anyway, for the land of India, both the Delhi Sultanate and Chen Han are outsiders.

Even if the Nazar region is ceded to Chen Youliang, it is completely acceptable.

Why not join forces with two conquerors, one in the east and one in the west, to oppress and exploit the local Brahmans?

But soon after, a shocking news came from the Nazar area, and Firuz Shah was struck by lightning.

"What!? Chen Youliang actually converted to Brahmanism?!" Firuzisha naturally knew what the news meant.

Although the local natives of Tianzhu have become obedient people, there is one thing that is very difficult for them to change.

That's their religion.

For hundreds of years, the conquerors of Central Asia and Persia hardly converted many Brahmans to Christianity, no matter what method they used.

It is not foolish to say that these gods are indigenous to Ahsan, pious or stupid.

Anyway, they're like stones in a pit, which stinks and is hard.

This has led to several generations of *** rulers following suit

The Brahmans of the land are full of contradictions.

The local Indian Ahsan obviously has a population of tens of millions and a huge wealth, but the Deli Sultanate can only scavenge some wealth, and the population cannot be fully and effectively utilized.

In many cases, these huge populations plunged the Delhi Sultanate into endless troubles due to frequent unrest.

Now, as a foreign invader, Chen Youliang has chosen to convert to Brahmanism in a very short period of time.

This is equivalent to clearing all obstacles to ruling the Tianzhu people for him.

With tens of millions of people and huge wealth, Chen Youliang will provide endless national strength.

"Your Majesty, it's not that Chen Youliang converted to Brahmanism, but that Chen Youliang originally had his own religion, as if it was called Maitreya, and it was actually the same as the Brahmanism of the Tianzhu people!"

The person who brought the news was Vizier Mahad of the Delhi Sultanate.

Vizier means prime minister.

As the prime minister of the Delhi Sultanate, Mahad not only helped Firuz Shah with internal affairs, but also held the position of religious elder.

It has always been one of the responsibilities of successive prime ministers of the Delhi Sultanate to promote the state religion of the Delhi Sultanate in the Tianzhu region and assimilate the local Tianzhu people.

However, after hundreds of years of ***ization, the effect is not very significant.

On the contrary, Chen Youliang, who was a newcomer, was in the same boat with the local Brahmins as soon as he came to Tianzhu.

"Orientals are demons! The gods they revere turned out to be these *** false gods!"

Sultan Firuz couch uttered the most vicious curse.

He originally wanted to win Chen Youliang into his ally, but now he has become a member of the rival in life and death.

With the help of Chen Youliang's powerful army, the Brahmins in the Nazar region will definitely make a greater noise.

The civil strife that the Delhi Sultan has just quelled is sure to flare up again.

"Your Majesty, we must now find a way to strengthen our army against the rebels in the Nazar region!" Said the Prime Minister of the Delhi Sultanate, Mahad.

"Grow your army? It would require a lot of gold and silver!"

At the mention of money, the Sultan immediately frowned.

Previously, in order to quell the Brahmanical rebellion in the country.

The Delhi Sultanate purchased large quantities of weapons and supplies from the Ming army and Ming merchants in the Bengal region.

All these weapons and supplies have consumed almost all the gold and silver treasures of the Delhi Sultanate.

Even in order to buy more weapons, the Delhi Sultanate sold tens of thousands of Tianzhu women to Ming merchants.

Now that the Delhi Sultanate has exhausted its national strength, it simply does not have the financial resources to expand its army.

"The merchants of the Ming Dynasty once offered us to lease land, as long as they agreed to lease the land for farming, then the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to sell us more weapons, and even help us train our army, just like the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if we have our own strong army, not only do we not have to fear these hateful Brahmin heretics Chen Youliang, but we also do not have to spend expensive money to hire mercenaries in the river."

Said the Prime Minister of the Delhi Sultanate, Mahad.

Hearing this suggestion, Delhi Sultan Firuzisha immediately fell into thought.

The Ming East India Company established many businesses in Bengal, and the momentum of development was very rapid.

At the beginning, the main areas involved were the trafficking of Tianzhu people, spices, grain, various dyes and medicinal materials.

Later, the merchants of the Daming East India Company discovered that the land here in Tianzhu was very suitable for growing a new type of cotton.

This new type of cotton is a high-tech seed provided by Zhu Han, which is disease-resistant, insect-resistant and easy to manage, and is best suited for growing in the dry and hot dry season of the Indian continent.

Moreover, India has a huge number of indigenous human resources, which is extremely conducive to rapid cotton picking.

The most important thing is that the labor cost of the local civilians and untouchables in India is very cheap, two meals of multigrain rice a day plus poop

The same curry would allow a strong farmer to work in a cotton field all day.

So the merchants of the East India Company proposed to the Delhi Sultanate to lease land for the cultivation of cotton.

However, Delhi Sultan Firuzisha loved and hated the Ming Dynasty, and was very afraid of the Ming merchants entering the depths of his territory.

Naturally, he rejected the proposal of the Ming merchants to lease the land.

Now the arrival of Chen Youliang has brought the Delhi Sultanate into an unprecedented crisis.

The Delhi Sultanate must give up something that has been holding out for so long in exchange for the strength of its own military.

Otherwise, tens of millions of Brahmans will be gradually organized, and it will be a catastrophe for the Delhi Sultanate.

"Okay, it's up to you to negotiate with the Ming East India Company, we can lease the land to the Ming merchants, and we can also reduce their taxes, but they must immediately hurry up and provide us with powerful advanced weapons, the more advanced artillery and muskets the better!"

Delhi Sultan Firuzisha finally made up his mind and said.

"As you wish, my majesty!"

Prime Minister Mahad knelt down and kissed Firuzisha's shoes as he said respectfully.

After walking out of the Sultan's palace, Mahad, the prime minister of the Delhi Sultanate, looked relaxed.

He boarded his ornate four-wheeled carriage and, with the crisp sound of bells, walked towards his mansion.

This latest four-wheeled carriage is naturally produced in the Ming Dynasty.

With a new suspension and shock-absorbing steel plates, it is very comfortable to ride.

The carriage was also inlaid with crystal clear glass windows and decorated with ruby sapphires and gold and silver, and has become the standard for the top nobles of the Delhi Sultanate.

Mahad's four-wheeled carriage was bought by sixty fine-looking slaves of the Heavenly Princesses in the East India Company.

When Mahad returned to his mansion, he immediately went straight to his backyard, where a merchant dressed in Ming clothes had been waiting for a long time.

"Shopkeeper Li, after my efforts, Your Majesty has agreed to the matter of leasing land!" Mahad said happily.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister is really clever, this move can not only help your country become stronger, but also greatly increase your wealth, Prime Minister!" Li Ping also said with a smile.

Li Ping was a branch manager of the Daming East India Company here, mainly responsible for lobbying the Delhi Sultanate and leasing the land of the Delhi Sultanate for cotton cultivation.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the demand for cotton in the Central Plains has increased significantly.

In particular, after Zhu Han upgraded the cotton textile technology to a higher level, the output of cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains has doubled every year.

However, cotton cultivation requires fertile land and a large amount of manpower to pick, and the land and human resources in the Central Plains are very limited.

However, the demand for cotton cloth is increasing year by year.

This made the Daming East India Company immediately see the business opportunities.

Historically, India was the most important supplier of cotton cloth to the British Empire, and the fertile land and cheap manpower made cotton cultivation a lucrative industry.

Therefore, under the instruction of Zhu Han, the Ming East India Company began to use various commercial means to try to widely grow cotton on the land of the Delhi Sultanate.

Although the military strength of the Ming Dynasty in Tianzhu is strong, it also needs the ally of the Deli Sultanate, so it is naturally difficult to use any tough measures.

Li Ping was born in Huaixi, a distant nephew of Li Zhen, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and after joining the Ming East India Company, he also made a lot of contributions.

This time, through the channel of Mahad, the prime minister of the Delhi Sultanate, the Delhi Sultan Firuzisha agreed to the Ming lease land to grow cotton, which was another great achievement for Li Ping.

"We, the East India Company, have already looked at several pieces of land, and when the time comes, cotton will be planted, Prime Minister Mahad, you can also get a part of our company!" Li Ping introduced her return to Mahad very familiarly

。

Li Ping has been in Delhi for more than two months, and he is already familiar with the highly respected prime minister of the Sultanate in front of him.

All the exchange of interests will no longer be hidden.

"Shares? That's great!" Mahad immediately smiled even brighter.

As a devout ***, Mahad felt that he had both helped the Sultan with his financial difficulties and had benefited himself, which was completely in line with the teachings of the Prophet.

"It's just that there are some locals in these lands who refuse to cooperate!" Li Ping then said.

When Mahad heard this, he immediately frowned, and a fierce expression appeared on his face.

"These hateful pariahs, if they don't agree, I'll send my own soldiers to kill them all!"

The pieces of land that Li Ping said Mahad already knew about.

The plots were all owned by local Brahmans and were middle-caste merchant landowners.

For the Delhi Sultanate, expelling these original owners is like crushing an ant to death.

"Prime Minister Mahad is really powerful!"

"This is the new Fujian tea that we just shipped from the Ming merchant ship, please taste it, Prime Minister!"

Li Ping said as he took out a small box that was well sealed.

"Daming's tea!?"

Mahad immediately showed a look of surprise.

It was only after coming into contact with the East India Company that Mahad tasted what fresh tea was.

Compared with the tea brought by Li Ping, the coarse old tea that was originally trafficked by Persian merchants was simply a withered grass root that was difficult to swallow.

The current Delhi Sultanate magnates, everyone is proud to taste the fresh tea of the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving Mahad's mansion again, Li Ping returned to the Daming Merchant House in Delhi City, and immediately wrote a detailed report on the progress he had just made, and sent a special person to present it to the general number of the new Dali City.

In the future that Zhu Han planned for the Ming Dynasty, sufficient grain and a certain amount of cash crops are the national capital that the Ming Dynasty must guarantee in the future.

Besides.

In order to pursue more profits, other cash crops are all grown in Nanyang, Tianzhu and other places.

For example, the most important ones are cotton, silk, tea, tobacco, etc., which require a lot of land to cultivate.

If it is planted on a large scale in the Central Plains, once there is a food crisis, it will be a catastrophe for the people of the Central Plains.
