Chapter 784 - South Asia (8) - Land Compensation for Land Cession
Chapter 784
Doravira, is a small city in Gujarat.
The Mughal Emperor Ollenzeb was now stationed in Doravila, and was anxiously awaiting a reply from the Governor of Goa, Alfonso.
The Battle of Peshawar, which was supposed to be won, ended in failure.
Immediately afterwards, on the way back to Delhi, the defeated army led by himself suffered a catastrophe in the small city of Lahore, and finally only escaped with more than 100 troops.
At this time, the Mughal Empire may be the weakest period since the founding of the country, right?
At this time, without even the Ming army's action, a princely lord could kill Olunzeb and defeat the Mughal emperor.
Because of this, Olenzeb's heart was full of anxiety and fear, and he didn't know if Alfonso, the governor of Goa, would send troops to recruit the Ming army. I am afraid that Alfonso will take advantage of the fire to loot and put forward all kinds of harsh conditions for sending troops when the Mughal Empire is at its most down?
No, it's not a question of whether it will or not, but it will.
The Mughal Empire did not deal with the so-called navigator merchants of the Netherlands, Portugal and even England, who were actually pirates, for a day or two, and it was not too clear about the temperament of these Europeans, and there was no doubt that these European robbers were greedy to the core.
When you don't have to ask these robbers, they will make a lot of unwarranted demands.
Now that the Mughal Empire has a request for these robbers, why not ask for it from death?
And the final facts confirmed Ollenzeb's fears, and Alfonso opened his mouth.
Two days later, the emissary sent to Goa returned to Doravera and conveyed Alfonso's conditions.
"What? Leave the Empire's customs under the jurisdiction of the Dutch?" Orenzeb couldn't believe his ears, and he roared with a blue face, "Is Alfonso crazy? He wants to control the wealth of the entire empire?"
"Your Majesty, this is just one of the conditions." The envoy to Goa said with a wry smile, "In addition, Alfonso also put forward two other excessive conditions, one is that all cities and towns on the east and west coasts of the empire are unconditionally open to Dutch merchants and free trade, and the local government must also provide supplies to Dutch merchant ships at a reasonable price, and the second is to form a Nemo coalition army, and it is necessary for the Netherlands to send officers to train the army, and the Dutch officers must command the battle when fighting."
"Crazy, Alfonso must be crazy!" Oren Zebu laughed angrily, "Don't mention these conditions, just let him be the emperor of the Mughal Empire, really."
At this time, Mo Diji, who had just arrived with a small army to escort him, said, "Your Majesty, the reason why Alfonso opened his mouth to make such outrageous conditions is just to put pressure on us, this is a negotiation technique, it does not mean that they really want to achieve such an intention, so the conditions still have to be negotiated."
"Alfonso's daring to offer such conditions is enough to prove that they have no sincerity in forming an alliance." Ollenzeb disagreed, "He just wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate me, to humiliate the Mughal Empire."
But Mo Di Ji still wanted to fight again: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the minister talk to Alfonso? The minister promised that the conditions of the Dutch people would be negotiated, and that it would not be so excessive."
Hearing this, Olenzeb also hesitated.
Mainly because Ollenzeb has no other choice.
If you don't form an alliance with the Dutch and don't borrow troops from the Dutch, once the princely states and governors of the provinces know the state of the Mughal Empire, the entire empire may collapse in an instant.
When the time comes, not to mention the financial power of the customs, or the command power of the military, even the state will not be able to keep it.
However, just as Olenzeb wanted to promise Modiji, another guard walked in.
"Your Majesty! The Ming Empire sent an envoy to Doravella, saying that he wanted to negotiate peace with the Empire."
"What, Ming wants to make peace with the Empire?" This news was true, somewhat unexpectedly.
To tell the truth, Olon Zebu really made the Ming army out of the shadows, and when he heard the word Ming army, he could urinate and belong
, he was even worried that he would be driven to Colombo by the Ming army.
Because the strength of the Ming army was beyond Orenzeb's imagination.
And this is the main reason why Ollenzeb found the Dutch, because in terms of firearms alone, it seems that only the Dutch from Europe can compete with the Ming army.
Anyway, the Mughal army will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming army.
But now, the Ming Kingdom actually sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Empire?
For a while, Olundzeb was really surprised and delighted, the Ming Kingdom was willing to negotiate peace, what else do you want in the Netherlands?
Mo Di Ji subconsciously opposed the peace: "Your Majesty, the Ming Kingdom has won such a big battle, but it unexpectedly proposed to negotiate peace with the empire, it must not have any good intentions, don't agree."
Olon Zebu retorted disapprovingly: "Just now the Governor of Goa, Alfonso, put forward such harsh conditions, but Mordij, you insisted on negotiating with the Dutch, but now that the Ming Kingdom proposes peace, Mordij, you are resolutely opposed, I want to ask you a question, what is the purpose of our negotiations with the Dutch?"
Mo Di Ji said without thinking, "Naturally, it is to borrow troops from the Netherlands and expel the Ming *** team."
"But now you don't need to borrow troops from the Dutch to get the Ming *** team to leave." Ollenzeb spread his hands and said, "If that is the case, why should you endure the harsh conditions of the Dutch people to borrow troops from them? There's no need for that."
Mo Di Ji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, let's not say whether the national peace is true or false, even if it is true, the Ming Kingdom will definitely put forward extremely harsh conditions."
"Aren't the conditions of the Dutch harsh?" Orenzeb sneered, "Not to mention that we don't know what kind of conditions the Ming Congress proposes, even if it really puts forward harsh conditions, can't the empire be able to bargain? Since you have the ability to negotiate the conditions of the Dutch people, you will naturally also have the ability to negotiate the conditions of the Ming Dynasty."
"Of course, the minister has such faith." When it comes to his abilities, Mordiji is immediately confident again.
As a Mughal officer who grew up among the indigenous people of Gujarat, Mordiji has always been confident in his abilities, and honey is confident.
"Well, then, I'll leave the matter to you."
Olenzeb decisively handed over the task to Mordiji.
……
A month later, Mo Diji led the negotiating team to Delhi and met Zhu Cijiong in the magnificent hall of the Red Fort.
Zhu Cijiong did not participate in the peace talks, but only observed.
The entire conference was organized by Li Yan and co-organized by Xia Wanchun.
"Let me introduce myself, the contemptible Dharma Druma Modiji is the new foreign prime minister of the Mughal Empire." Mordiji held her head high, her eyes full of confidence, "On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Mughal Empire, I came to negotiate peace with the Erming army, and there is only one condition for our Mughal Empire, that is, the army of the Ming Kingdom must withdraw from Delhi unconditionally, and also pay compensation of 10 million gold rupees plus 100 million silver rupees to the great Mughal Empire."
When Xia Wanchun and Li Yan heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
No way? What are the conditions? Did I hear me right?
How do I feel that this battle was the defeat of our Ming army?
Seeing the stunned expressions of the two peace envoys of the Ming Kingdom, Mo Diji couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, and the envoys of the Ming Kingdom were obviously shocked and even frightened by his "toughness".
That's right, that's the tone that Mordiji set for this peace, that is, tough.
You must show the tough side to the Ming Kingdom as much as possible, of course, the Mughal Empire also really has tough capital, there are not many countries with hundreds of millions of people in this world, and the Mughal Empire is the chosen country!
As for the defeat that the Mughal army just ate? No, no, that's not a defeat at all, it's just a tactic of the Mughal army, what tactic? It is to frighten and frighten the opponent with a huge number of casualties.

As a native of the Ming Dynasty, you must have never seen more than 100,000 troops, right? So when they saw an army of 500,000 or even more than a million people, they must have been frightened, right?
One million is not enough, so I will give you another million.
Two million is not enough, then five million will be given to you!
I don't believe you didn't kill until you were soft!
I don't believe that you didn't kill until you were afraid!
When you are weak and afraid, you will turn to us for peace.
Sure enough, isn't the Ming Kingdom now begging the Mughal Empire to negotiate peace with them? These Ming Dynasty people were obviously frightened and frightened by such a huge number of casualties.
Mordiki reveled in her own logic.
Ah, the Mughal Empire is so strong, so strong.
Therefore, only letting the Ming State compensate 10 million gold rupees and 100 million silver rupees is already a lenient punishment for them, and if it is according to his intentions, he even asks the Ming State to cede Tibetan land.
Don't laugh, you know you're laughing, but Modiji is serious.
Mo Di Ji said to Li Yan and Xia Wanchun again: "This is the bottom line of this peace talks, the bottom line is not allowed to back down, now you can put forward your demands on this basis."
Li Yan and Xia Wanchun had expressions on their faces.
Zhu Cijiong, who was sitting on the "throne", burst out laughing.
Playing with the golden power battle that originally belonged to the Mughal emperor, Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "What's the matter with Oren Zebu? Is this a fool who came to talk to us? Isn't this a idiot?"
"It just doesn't make sense." After listening to the translation, Mordiji was furious.
"I am the foreign prime minister of the Mughal Empire, and you must solemnly apologize to me for your rudeness, otherwise there will be no peace talks, and you will wait for the Mughal Empire to mobilize a large army to conquer you again."
Zhu Cijiong's face sank and he shouted, "Pull down and beat him first, and then talk to him."
