Chapter 195: Confrontation (1)
Madras, India, formerly the headquarters of the British East India Company.
At this time, a group of wealthy businessmen of Da Zhou and agents from all parties gathered together.
The British always waged several wars with the support of the king to defeat the Dutch, thinking that this was the beginning of their rise, but they did not think that this was their peak in this time and space.
However, it was not long before they were expelled by the naval force of the Great Zhou.
Their proud navy was ruthlessly destroyed by the Empire, forcing them to go to the Great Zhou to submit a surrender and pay a certain amount of gold and silver.
After the evacuation of the British, this wallhead laid by the British became a gathering place for the imperial merchants.
A naval representative spoke: "There is news from the Empire, and in a few days there will be a commissioner to direct the arrangements, and then we will follow the example of the British and the Dutch, and perhaps be a little more radical, and carry out the colonization plan to support the local power." ”
"Colonization?"
"Yes, colonization is the process of gaining access to underdeveloped areas economically, politically and culturally." After a pause, the naval representative added, "This is what His Royal Highness King Qin meant. ”
His Royal Highness the King of Qin, just four words seem to have a decisive effect, which quieted down all the wealthy businessmen present, and made people not have the slightest objection.
They were the first beneficiaries of the expansion of the empire and the most sensitive to the domestic political situation.
There are almost no secrets to hide from them, and they naturally have what they think is the ranking of imperial power in their hearts.
Depending on the needs, the power ranking may change.
But no matter how you look at it, the number one has always remained the same.
In the minds of most maritime merchants, His Royal Highness King Qin, who controls the Academy of Engineering and military factories, and is responsible for intelligence, army, navy, economy and other institutions, is the real uncrowned king and the real number one person in the empire.
The rise of the empire swallowed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and conquered the seas...... is also inseparable from the figure of this highness.
single-handedly opened the global gold rush era, and His Royal Highness King Qin is their spiritual leader.
Otherwise, what kind of character is Wu Sangui?
In the decades of the Ming and Qing dynasties, discerning people have already testified.
Now, in their eyes, this emperor is more like a cabinet butler, a puppet standing on the surface, he has long been unknowingly erected by His Royal Highness King Qin.
It is said that the real confidential documents of the cabinet must be handed over to the palace of the king of Qin in the end before they can be processed.
Listening to the words of the military representatives, several of the main representatives present quickly expressed their cooperation.
"We must follow the plan of His Royal Highness King Qin, cooperate with the commissioner, and complete the plan of the empire."
"I, Luo's firm, will definitely cooperate."
"As subjects of the Empire, we will fully cooperate with the laws and orders of the Empire."
……
Bengali.
At this time, Governor Shasta Khan looked at the documents in his hand and frowned a little.
"The Dutch, the British are gone, and the Zhou people are here again, it's really damned!"
"Useless old English!"
As the uncle of the current Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, he himself is a veteran of numerous military exploits for the Mughal Empire, with rich experience in fighting against Portugal and the Kingdom of Arakan, and has a unique view of the situation.
A few years ago, the almost uncontrolled sudden rise of the British old, the pawn they had used against the Dutch, had made him very wary.
But the distance between each other minimizes this vigilance, and it is a big deal to repeat the same operation as the Dutch in the first place.
But the Great Zhou is different, not to mention that they are descendants of the Mongols, and there are huge hatred differences between the two sides in history.
Today alone, the two countries are too close on the map.
In the past, there was also an impassable Himalayas across each other, and the Great Zhou had only two routes to conquer the Mughal Empire.
One was to conquer Kazakhstan in Central Asia first, let a partial division attack Persia to reduce the threat of flanks, and then the main army would go south to attack Afghanistan, then enter Pakistan (then part of the Mughal Empire) through Afghanistan, and then cross the Mughal River into the Mughal Peninsula and the Gangetic Plain.
There is no doubt that this is a remote and vertical road.
The second is to start from Yunnan and occupy Burma, pass through Burma, and then attack the Mughal Empire directly, which will be more convenient, but it will also be more difficult and difficult along the way.
However, in the midst of difficulties and difficulties, it is also easier than the British to bypass the whole of Europe.
Especially in recent years, as Da Zhou's marine strength has soared, Da Zhou's choices have instantly become more.
If they want to use troops against the Mughal Empire, they have a strong ability to execute.
The place where the couch lies does not allow others to sleep soundly.
A powerful neighbor who is very unsettling.
In recent years, Da Zhou has actively explored foreign countries, destroyed the country and destroyed the species, and merchant ships were all over the world, and his ambition was never concealed.
Whether it is him or His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, the vigilance of this neighbor has long been raised to the highest, and even they are still thinking of supporting the British old man and giving this lord a little color.
I didn't think that Britain would be so useless, and he was expelled all of a sudden.
During this period, the power and momentum shown by Da Zhou were even more fearful.
Not long ago, the emperor summoned him and said with a bit of ridicule: "We, as hosts, will greet these guests a little differently." ”
Mockingly, Aurangzeb himself was one of the most famous belligerent monarchs in the history of the Mughal Empire, and he also took a more arrogant attitude towards European visitors from different countries than his predecessors.
During his tenure, his army continued to attack, taking in many of the southern princely states that were not originally under the jurisdiction of the Delhi court, and the trading ports belonging to Portugal, France, and Denmark were also included in his sphere of influence.
To use Chinese comparisons, the monarch was a pioneering figure similar to Li Er.
At the same time, he had a more similar experience with Li Er, the king who defeated three brothers in the fierce War of Succession and imprisoned his father to become Mughal emperor.
What is the temperament of this majesty?
Shasta Khan, who had been with him for most of his life, knew it, so he didn't dare to take it as a joke.
After thinking about it, Shasta Khan found his most trusted son, lowered his voice and began to command.
After a while, the son's eyes were quite bright, and he nodded seriously: "Don't worry, father, I will finish it." ”
A few days later.
A letter was sent to Madras and to Mu Jiansheng, the commissioner of the Mughal Empire of the Great Zhou Empire.
That's right, it's the eldest prince of Mu Wangfu.
As the descendants of the former Ming Dynasty and the Duke of Qianguo, it stands to reason that in the Great Zhou established by Wu Sangui, they had no place to live.
But who told him to have a good brother-in-law?
Mu Jianping has willingly followed Fu Qiu for so many years, not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, her family, Fu Qiu naturally has to take care of it.
Now, the Mu family is under Fu Qiu and has been reused.
Mu Jiansheng himself was trained by Fu Qiu as the future president of India.
The interpreter on the side told the contents of the letter.
Mu Jiansheng frowned even more: "The person who came is not good!" ”
The letter said that it hoped to have friendly discussions on trade between the two countries, and hinted that trade in the Bay of Bengal could be opened up to the Great Zhou.
The Bay of Bengal was an important place, with direct access to the Ganges River, which allowed the Great Zhou Empire's trade network to extend north to Punjab and Central Asia.
Achieve the implementation of the colonization plan as quickly as possible.
Mu Jiansheng himself also noticed this area.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the idea came out, someone sent a pillow, or it was sent by the intended enemy.
What do you think? It's all a trap!
