Chapter 177, the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet poured out!
And at the same time when the Great Tomorrow personally supervised the army and materials of the expedition to Liaodi at the port of Songjiang Prefecture.
in the South Seas.
Batam Port.
Groups of soldiers of the allied forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty, carrying flintlock muskets with shiny bayonets, were lining up in the port, according to the formation of the front-brigade-battalion-company-platoon.
There were more than 70,000 soldiers in the Indian princes' coalition army, with a total of 14 brigades.
Except for a guard brigade as the British Gongsun Shiyi, and a naval brigade organized as the Ganges Water Division of India.
The remaining 12 brigades formed four corps.
Each corps has more than 15,000 troops, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and baggage, all of which can independently undertake combat missions in one direction.
neatly queued.
The flags of the princes fluttered.
Generally, there is the sun and moon national emblem of the Ming Dynasty in the upper left corner of the flag on a red background, and then there are the titles of the princes to which they belong in the center of the red background.
For example, the English character for the English public.
In addition, there are Wuhou Qian Dazhao, Suhou Zhou Fangsuiren, Taihou Lin Shixiong, Wenhou Cai Li, Yuehou Liu Dongzhi, Dinghou Yuan Tiande, Chen Hou Chen Tianyu.
They are all the commanders of the wealthy families of Zhejiang and Fujian, who command five or six thousand troops.
One principality, seven princely states.
The rest are some of the earls who commanded one or two thousand troops, and the viscounts who commanded hundreds of troops, but because the troops were too small, the feudal country was afraid that it would not be able to hold it, so they were all lords and nobles attached to these eight feudal countries.
So now the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as having gathered an eight-nation coalition army, ready to get rid of the evil British colonists who meddle and want to unify India, and go to be the master of the Indian people himself.
There are kingdoms, monarchs, nobles, lords, and soldiers.
Now there is a shortage of land and a people to be ruled.
Now the port of Batam has been emptied and the shipping channel has been emptied.
The purpose was to transport this huge army to the kingdom they would rule in the future.
Of course, 70,000 troops could not be transported to India in one go.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty.
In later generations, there are not many countries that can transport more than 70,000 troops across the ocean at one time.
Therefore, according to the plan, this time it was the most elite and best-equipped First Army composed of the British and Wu domains as the vanguard and landed in India first.
The rest are then shipped in batches.
Even if it's just an army.
The number of ships used is also staggering.
The merchant ships hired by the alliance of the princes crowded the harbor, and the sails that obscured the sky made the Chinese and foreign merchants in the harbor stare at this magnificent voyage.
Merchants had a very keen sense of war.
Since the Ming Dynasty and the Kolkata Governor's Office issued privateer orders.
There are very few businessmen who dare to go to sea.
Now on the port of Batam, a large number of merchant ships that originally belonged to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty have now received money from the coalition of Indian princes, vacated their goods, and are ready to be used as troop carriers to help the coalition of princes land in India.
The merchants, of course, did not want to get involved in the war.
However, according to the "Li", after the local governor of the Ming Dynasty and the vassal state with the right to war were authorized by the Son of the Great Tomorrow, they had the right to requisition merchant ships to participate in the war.
Generally.
Da Mingzi is still very reasonable.
Now in the harbor, the ships are crowded with ships, and almost the entire harbor is covered with merchant ships of different types.
There are Chinese-style Fufune, Canton, and Otoribune types, as well as many Galen type cargo ships.
There are more than a hundred of them.
Besides.
Cruising outside the harbor were thirty-six schooners belonging to the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet.
As an escort armament for the flotilla.
"The First Army, the First Brigade! Board the ship! ”
Accompanied by the command to board.
Carrying muskets, backpacks, and leggings, the Zhejiang and Fujian soldiers boarded the ship in a neat queue in silence.
These soldiers were originally regimental training in the Qing Dynasty, but later shrunk to Hangzhou and were reorganized into the vassals of the Great Tomorrow.
First, he trained on Zhoushan Island for a few months, and then he was pulled to Batam Island in the South Seas for a few months.
Now it's finally time to go to the battlefield in India.
They don't know what an elusive fate awaits them.
Listen to the officer who led the troops.
In that part of India, the people are very weak, and when they go to India, they are to be masters and masters.
Several of Cai's pirate ships were also called up as troop carriers.
The pirates on the ship were lazily lying on the side of the ship one by one, looking at the army soldiers who were boarding the ship, and couldn't help but talk.
The Niu brothers Niu Zhaocai and Niu Jinbao are also among this group of pirates - they are no longer Tubao who have just gone to sea, they followed Cai Lian to the sea to make several transactions, and even tried to land in India and captured a small town, just that town, the amount of gold they grabbed made the Niu brothers unimaginable.
India is too rich.
India is too weak.
No wonder it is heard that the British have almost conquered half of India with only two or three thousand troops.
This time, the Ming Dynasty sent 70,000 troops, and it was enough to fight ten Indias, right?
"More than 10,000 people will go this time, I'm afraid I can lay down a lot of territory, right?"
"It's better to get rid of the British!"
"Yes, the British can fight this place in India, and if the British run away, where can't India rob it?"
"I heard that if you occupy India, you can't rob it."
"Can't rob it? So what are we going to do? ”
"Haven't you heard of it? Go and be a nobleman. ”
"Huh, noble? You Ma Laizi don't pee on yourself, are you a nobleman? Your whole family has been a family for eight generations, so you don't know what it is in the former Qing Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty. ”
"Hmph, Lao Tzu is now the captain of the navy of the Ming Dynasty, haven't you heard, we Han people went to India, no matter what it was, the high and low are nobles!"
"Can you really be a nobleman?"
Although a group of coastal fishermen and pirates from Tando all heard about this trip to India, they can all be lords and nobles in the future, riding on the heads of the Indian people to make a fortune.
But no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit empty.
Like Ma Laizi, who can't read a single big character, looks so vicious.
Can it be an aristocrat?
It doesn't sound like that.
It is said that the humble Niu brothers are more like nobles than him, and everyone believes them.
Speaking of which.
The Niu brothers also have an identity now.
Niu Jinbao is now a naval sergeant of the Ming Ying Domain, while Niu Zhaocai is now a sergeant.
And Cai Tou also painted cakes for everyone, and when he wants to fight in the Ganges River in the future, he must expand the Ganges Naval Army, at that time, he Cai Lian is the head of the Ganges Naval Army, and they are all officers, and they will be knighted in the future.
In the future, everyone will be a nobleman and a lord.
is to become a nobleman and a lord in the future, so you can't grab it casually - you can rob it, but it also depends on where to rob it.
I heard that the Indian people are very easy to bully, you don't need to rob it, people will send gold and jewelry themselves....
The Niu brothers looked at the soldiers who were boarding the ship.
I couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
O the fate of this man.
It's not just about individual efforts.
Sometimes the course of history is also quite important.
They went from small landlords in Changzhou who were about to go bankrupt to homesteaders.
Until now, it is said that he will become an Indian nobleman.
It seems that it is less than a year away....
"Dashuai, I thought that this first batch of going to India would be a hard battle, but I didn't expect France to be able to sell their Indian colonies....."
Wuhou Qian Dazhao breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he saw the army successfully boarding the ship.
At this time in the port, the bitter look on the face of the British Gongsun Shiyi, who was staring at the army boarding the ship, was finally a lot less.
"I thought that if the most difficult landing was easily solved, and more than 10,000 troops could gain a firm foothold in India, then the follow-up landing of the army would be much easier."
Sun Shiyi said with a smile.
He has been in good spirits lately.
The first is that privateering is a very, very lucrative business!
Cai Lian's privateer team brought him an income of more than 100,000 yuan.
For this reason, Sun Shiyi also issued a lot of privateer warrants.
It's a big deal.
Secondly.
It's through privateers.
Sun Shiyi also got a lot of first-hand information from India.
First of all, the soldiers are weak!
And it's too weak to say - otherwise the British wouldn't have been so easy to get, and I don't know if the soldiers are strong in the places where they haven't won yet.
But the princely states of India under British rule were really too weak.
And everything there is about identity.
For example, when it comes to being a soldier.
Dalits and lower castes are not eligible for military service.
But those who are qualified to serve in the army are all high-caste gentlemen.
In India, everything is about one species.
It's not just about being a soldier.
Dancers, farmers, woodcutters, pottery, iron, shipbuilders.... Even if you're a big manhole.
It is all about "seeds".
Such a system... It's too much for foreign rule.
I heard that the upper echelons of India are now full of foreign invaders.
The natives are now untouchables.
If King Li Chuang goes to India, it is estimated that he will not be able to make any waves.
If the Qing Dynasty goes to India.
I'm afraid it can really last for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, Sun Shiyi's heart was hot.
It seems that the great tomorrow did not lie to himself.
This Indian territory can really pass on the wealth to the descendants for thousands of years.
Maybe in the future, when the Ming royal family will become an ordinary family in China.
His descendants are still rich in India.
"The British are a nuisance, especially their fleet..."Behind Sun Shiyi, Pan Shien, who followed Sun Shiyi all the way south, said with a frown.
"There's nothing in trouble with the fleet, the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet will take them out. The key for us now is to land in India first, and then look for an opportunity to fight a big battle, and we must get a beautiful victory, otherwise how can we make the Son of Heaven invest more? ”
Sun Shiyi waved his hand indifferently and said.
He invested in Damingla for a long time, but in the end he didn't get much, and in the end, Damingzi personally invested hundreds of thousands of Ming yuan in him.
The interest is certainly not high.
But what the Great Tomorrow asked for was to repay it with land, not much, but what he asked for was the right of first refusal - those Indian city sites that would appreciate greatly in the future, Emperor Zhu did not want to let go.
In fact.
This was a fanfare boarding.
It's also a show.
A show for the British.
More than 170 troop carriers and cargo ships were dispatched, and the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet was also "dispatched with a nest."
Under such temptation.
Can the British Eastern Fleet withstand loneliness?
.....
"A... Two ... Three..."
It's in a hidden place in the harbor.
Someone with a heart is counting the warships of the Daming Indian Ocean Fleet that have been dispatched from the port of Batam.
"Thirty-six! Thirty-six bombardment gunboats! ”
"Pouring out of the nest!! The Ming Indian Ocean Fleet is pouring out! ”
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.
Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.
A single dormitory?
Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.
And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.
With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.
But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free
The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was a success......
The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.
He's a different guy altogether!
Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?
In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"
Postpartum Care for Pet Animals
"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"
Shi Yu: ???
The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?
"Ahem."
Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.
Icefield City.
