Chapter 196: Confrontation (2)

"Commissioner!"

Admiral Rao Jinchao respectfully walked to Mu Jiansheng's side and saluted him.

"Hmm." Mu Jiansheng nodded slightly, and casually handed over a letter that had been translated: "Take a look." ”

Rao Jinchao nodded and hurriedly looked at it.

"What do you think of the Governor's invitation?" Mu Jiansheng asked.

"There is fraud!" Rao Jinchao quickly spit out two words, "Bengal is very important, the Mughal Empire is very wary of us, we have not yet fought and shown our strength." ”

"Brilliant! Hit the nail on the head! It is worthy of the elite of the Navy! Mu Jiansheng laughed, slapped his face directly, and looked at Rao Jinchao's eyes again, "General Rao, why do you think the Mughal governor would send such a letter?" ”

Rao Jinchao thought for a while: "Maybe it's to show weakness to the enemy." ”

Mu Jiansheng nodded, he has been cultivated by Fu Qiu for many years, he is no longer the mind of a grass python, he now sees a broader and longer-term view.

Coughing, he spoke: "In any case, we are sure of one fact, the Mughals must have bad intentions, we must be vigilant, especially the fleet, this is our barrier here, the general must always be careful." ”

Rao Jinchao seriously assured: "Please rest assured, commissioner." ”

"And the Mughal letter?"

Mu Jiansheng smiled: "Since they have set up the stage, we will accompany them to perform well." ”

"But Bangladesh this stage, I don't like it very much, I like it even more!"

His finger pointed towards the northwest coast of India – the Mughal Harbor.

……

In a flash, a letter from Mu Jiansheng, the commissioner of the Great Zhou, was delivered to Governor Shasta Khan.

In the letter, Mu Jiansheng expressed good expectations for peaceful trade negotiations, and has sent a detachment to the west coast of Myanmar to conduct trade negotiations.

Many of the crew members even went ashore for sightseeing, buying goods at markets in coastal towns.

In the market, several big weeks of merchants are picking out items.

A gorgeously dressed Mughal court official suddenly walked over with his nose facing the sky: "You are the barbarians from the Great Zhou?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several businessmen looked ugly.

With the rise of the Great Zhou, they traveled all over the world, and they all called others barbarians, and no one had ever called them barbarians.

A grumpy young man was about to have a seizure when he was stopped by two older men.

"Ping, we're still negotiating, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Ping An snorted indignantly, and was about to turn away.

The Mughal officials on the side said angrily: "Barbarian, when you see the great Lord Koch, how dare you not bow down and take it for me." ”

Soon, he sent his men to carry out a merciless beating on those who were about to seize peace.

At this moment, the merchants of the Great Zhou also saw that this person was deliberately finding fault, and there was absolutely no benefit in falling into his hands.

So, he quickly pulled out his firearm and began shooting.

Bang bang!

Gunfire rang out one after another, and the Mughal official and his entourage were all shot dead, and the people around him were also taken aback.

It's not that they haven't seen firearms, but the firearms in the hands of the Great Zhou people are short and convenient, and they have never seen them before.

In the evening, at the same time that the Governor approached the negotiator to express his strong protest and ask him to hand over the murderer.

Tens of thousands of Mughal soldiers took advantage of this precious window to reach Chittagong via the Ganges waterway.

"Sure enough!"

On the Chittagong front, a large number of Dazhou caravans and their escorts gathered here.

They had already set up iron nets and gun arrays in advance, and laid out nets to wait for the enemy to take the bait.

Just when the Mughal soldiers were preparing to attack some of the landing Zhou people, preparing to bombard the opponent's camp with artillery.

Peng Peng Peng!

The continuous sound of artillery suddenly rang out, directly giving the Mughal soldiers who suddenly attacked head-on, directly destroying their backward artillery.

Soon, dense gunfire rang out, and under the cover of iron nets, the caravan escort began to shoot unscrupulously.

In the rain of bullets, they are like death, constantly harvesting these thieves.

The combined strength of the escorts of the major wealthy merchants here is only more than 1,000 people.

Their original goal was simply to hold the port.

But as the war progressed, they found that these Mughal Empire armies seemed to be no more difficult to deal with than the natives they encountered in the South Seas, and they could further suppress and pursue.

And the Mughal soldiers, who were constantly falling in the rain of bullets, further demonstrated what it means to be defeated.

As the morale withered, accompanied by howling and crying, a large number of soldiers began to flee, and the rout and stampede soon spread.

Everyone retreated, stripped and lost their weapons, just trying to run faster than their companions.

In the end, tens of thousands of these Mughal soldiers were completely defeated, and then they were chased for more than ten miles, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses and surrenderers.

At the same time, Admiral Rao Jinchao arrived in the Arabian Sea with the navy's elite fleet and headed straight for the Mughal port.

According to Mu Jiansheng's plan.

Since Bangladesh had been chosen by the enemy as a stage, they had to look for another suitable "stage" in case of accidents.

At the same time, the trade economy of Bengal was not yet a significant part of the Mughal Empire's finances.

That is to say, this place is very important to Da Zhou, but in fact, it is not so important, the other party can regard it as a combat field, but what about the more important place?

As a result, Mu Jiansheng directly changed his strategy and prepared to directly replace the naval blockade to the more critical northwest coast of India - Mughal Port.

They would intercept any Mecca pilgrimage ship that set sail from the Mughal harbor.

The pilgrimage to Mecca on the Arabian Sea was important, not only for the official faith of the Mughal Empire, but also for the internal trade network of the world.

When the warships of the Great Zhou Empire ran rampant in the open seas, these financial chains were severely impacted, which the Mughal Empire could not bear.

"General, we're here!"

Rao Jinchao held the binoculars in his hand and showed a white smile: "Bombardment, give them a greeting gift." ”

……

At that time, Shasta Khan, the governor who had imprisoned the envoys of the Great Zhou who had come to Bengal for negotiations, had an extremely gloomy face.

He really didn't expect that tens of thousands of his soldiers went to sneak attack, but they were defeated by the other party.

"Rubbish! What a rubbish! ”

The son on the side was also very worried: "Father, let's think about how to deal with this matter, will Your Majesty hand us over?" ”

Shasta Khan gave him a blank look: "Shut up." ”

At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door: "Master, there is a letter from the imperial capital." ”

Shasta Khan took the letter, and immediately his heart was cold, his eyes rolled, and he fell headlong.

"Father!"

"Father!" The son kept exclaiming.

Shasta Khan knew that he was really finished, that the Mughal port was attacked, that the pilgrimage to Mecca was blocked, and that someone in the empire had to be held accountable for this.
