March 22, 1796.

Early morning.

The sun shines on the Indian subcontinent from south to north, and the continent beneath the majestic plateau is the same as at all times in history.

Chaotic.

Alien invaders come and go.

You sing and I'll appear.

But the situation is different now.

This time, it was the tripartite forces that invaded the land at the same time.

They are the Ming, Qing and British countries.

And among these three forces.

Although the alliance of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty is not the largest, the Ming Empire behind them is so large and powerful, and the key is that it is still so close to this area.

They could easily be replenished through the Indian Ocean, which was controlled by the Ming Empire, and even replenished their troops - in fact, the mainstream of immigration in the Ming Dynasty was to create the Northeast and the South Sea.

But going to India is actually a way to go.

The coalition forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty are all the head snakes of the two rivers, and they have made a fortune in India, so they naturally have to return to their hometowns to pull people's heads.

And the ticket is still free, and the recruits are also going to India to be masters.

If it weren't too far away and the distance was limited, maybe going to India to be a master would also be scrambled.

Of course.

The princes also knew.

You can't have too much.

Although India is a place where untouchables are everywhere.

But there are too many masters, and there are not enough untouchables.

Therefore, recruiting people also has to be stuck, and it is impossible to absorb the surplus population of the Ming and Han lands on a large scale like Nanyang and Northeast China.

But even so.

The Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty are still the strongest forces in this "Three Kingdoms of India".

And the forces of the Qing and Britain had to be like Sun Liu of the Three Kingdoms to unite against Cao, helping the Mughal Cao Cao Wazir Gazi to resist the coalition of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty.

"This place doesn't look like a red cliff."

Delentai led his troops to occupy the hills on both sides of the valley first.

But when you see this and the terrain.

His brow furrowed.

There is no iron cable to cross the river here, and it is impossible to blow the east wind, and the Ming army is also infantry, so it is impossible to get on the ship.

The battle of Chibi with a fart.

"Master, are we really going to fight Ming Gouzi here? If the Britons don't come, the Mughals won't be able to stand it, and the Britons won't have the idea of consuming us, right? ”

Beside Delentai is a Han general who entered the banner, named Zeng Sheng, participated in the Qianlong Baoyi Army, followed Le Bao all the way to the Western Regions, and now went to India, entered the banner, and also divided a lot of Indian clothing.

And the territory of the Indus Valley is very good.

A new flag like Zeng Sheng really doesn't want to continue to fight with Daming.

National hatred and family hatred?

What kind of hatred can they have?

If it weren't for the fact that the flag people were all dying, could they be carried the flag?

At the beginning, I even had to grab a place to make a coating.

Delentai shook his head and said: "Zeng Sheng, if it is Emperor Zhu's regular Ming army on the other side, I will not fight with them, but they are the domain army of Ming dogs, and these domain armies are going to grab food with us in India. ”

Delentai knew that many of the new bannermen under his command had war-weary thoughts, especially when they heard that they were fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't do anything else about it.

Who let this Qing Dynasty disappear now?

If you want to make your people work hard, it has to be good.

Distribution of land.

The coating should be given.

Indian women should also be whatever they want.

This is the only way to win people.

Otherwise.

These 300,000 main body is the Lebao group of the Western Regions Tunken Han Min, and I am afraid that it will fall apart if it does not need others to fight.

Right now.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley.

"Minggou is here!" Delentai took a deep breath.

"Kill!!"

Horses' hooves stepped on the ground, a team of dragoons rode to kill, they were wearing black and red military uniforms, holding the flag of the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag in the upper left corner, and a flag with the word "Ying" written in the middle of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

This is the feudal army of the Great Ming Ying Domain.

At this time, the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty was sitting on an Indian folded horse, holding a telescope, staring at the battle situation in the distance.

The low hills on both sides of the valley had been occupied by the Qing-Mo coalition forces who had arrived ahead of schedule.

However, it seems that there was no time to build the fortifications.

There are no trees in these hills, and even the grass is sparse.

This is the northwestern edge of the Deccan Plateau.

The Deccan Plateau is located in the central and southern part of the South Asian subcontinent, and the appearance is very different from the plains of the Ganges and Indus valleys, the plateau is full of basalts, there are no tall trees, and the main plants are shrubs and meadows.

On bare hills.

The army of the Qing-Mo coalition can see it clearly.

On the left are troops dressed in white or black, with a somewhat disorganized formation and disorganized equipment.

Flintlock guns, shotguns, rifles, bows and arrows, and artillery are all shoddy front-loading short-barreled cannons.

On the other side, there is Lebao's army.

To Sun Shiyi's surprise.

The army of the Western Qing Dynasty was actually very well-equipped.

They were all flintlock pistols, and hundreds of long-barreled guns.

In addition to this, there were also faint cavalry activities not far away.

Sun Shiyi roughly estimated.

The total strength of this Qing-Mo coalition army is about 50,000.

Even if they hid ambushes on the anticline of the hills.

The maximum number of troops will not exceed 70,000.

Not to mention.

The vast majority of these forces were Mughal weakers.

Probably the strongest Mughal was the Uzbek cavalry mercenaries hidden in the hills.

And next to Sun Shiyi.

The armies of the British and Wu clans are being repaired.

In accordance with the Indian sub-sealing plan.

The Gangetic Plain is the anointed land of the South Asian subcontinent.

So.

Whoever wants the territory of the Gangetic Plain will have to do it with all his strength.

The Ying and Wu domains were the two strongest armies, and they also had the highest status, so the two feudal domains did not want the territory of the south.

In the south, apart from the plateau, there are sparse coastal plains.

It's too sparse.

How can it be compared to the Gangetic plain.

Therefore, this offensive against the Ganges Plain, the main force is the army of the Ying and Wu domains.

This time, the British were prepared to send 10,000 capital, plus 20,000 Indian native soldiers.

Wu Fan was also ready to dispatch so many soldiers and horses.

Form an army of 60,000.

Now the first to arrive are one Chinese brigade from each of the two feudatories and two indigenous Indian brigades.

Now after arriving, both Chinese and Indians are a little tired.

I'm resting.

After the arrival of the brigade.

Sentinels from both sides were already in contact at the front line.

Muskets fired at each other, and light horsemen charged and slashed.

The battlefield was very lively.

However, the casualties were not significant.

Both sides are testing each other.

When Sun Shiyi heard that Le Bao led 300,000 people from the Western Regions into northwest India, he was almost shocked, when did these Eight Banners run away like this.

It's thousands of miles.

More than 300,000 people have come this far.

This combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"Grandpa Guo, how is it, have you paid attention?"

At this time, it was Wuhou Qian Dazhao who rode a horse.

Sun Shiyi smiled: "But a group of rabble, not our opponents, the only trouble is that they occupy a favorable terrain and are condescending, it is estimated that it is impossible for them to come down from the mountain." ”

"It's nature."

The sound of horses' hooves was heard.

It turned out that Yang Yuchun, chief of staff of the Allied Forces' General Staff, and his deputy Yang Fang came on horseback.

"Grandpa Guo, Marquis Wu, now you can expel a large number of stragglers and press the enemy back!!"

Yang Yuchun is also a marquis now, but he has no capital at hand, so he can't build a domain in India, so he can only help to fight, and he is also considered a military merit in leading troops to fight in India, and it will definitely be useful to return to Daming in the future.

"Attack now?" Sun Shiyi was stunned, his army was still repairing.

"From that direction?"

"Mid lane! Feint on the left side, arrange artillery bombardment on the right side, concentrate all the musketeers in the middle, concentrate the artillery on the right, send an indigenous brigade on the left to play musket fire with them, and use the Indian brigade to shoot muskets at them in the front row of the middle lane, cover the Chinese brigade to the front of the formation, and then directly launch a bayonet assault to block their cavalry in the valley! ”

"What?" Sun Shiyi and Qian Dazhao shook their heads for a moment, this is also too risky.

Sun Shiyi frowned: "Yang Hou, wouldn't this be too risky, there is an Indian brigade on the left, I'm afraid I can't suppress them, if they rush down."

Yang Yuchun sneered and said: "Grandpa Guo, you also look up to those Eight Banners soldiers too much, don't say that they are now lost dogs, even in Beijing City, they don't dare to fight with us with bayonets, and this Qingmo coalition army, the participation is not even, I am afraid that they all have the intention of preserving their strength and consuming friendly troops, and the Britons have not yet arrived, don't they just have the idea of letting the Eight Banners fight first." ”

"The key to this battle is the middle lane, defeat the enemy in front of you, you can come to the city of Agoura, occupy the city of Agoura, and you can live all of it!"

Sun Shiyi nodded slightly.

"Let Ayu's brigade go to the left!"

Ayu is his number one Indian general and the most capable Indian brigade.

The main thing is that the hardness of this brigade does not look like a native of India, but looks like he is from Myanmar, and there is a difference in appearance from the Chinese, but there is not much difference.

So it's still very intimidating.

At least watch from afar.

The three soldiers of this brigade look like the real Ming army

"Transfer another Chinese brigade to guard the artillery position on the right, and put three Indian greens and one Chinese brigade in the middle, a total of 20,000 muskets!"

Yang Yuchun laughed.

"Fifteen thousand flintlock guns, five thousand rifled guns, I want to see, this Xiqing and Mughal, who is willing to come up and die first."

Fergana Basin.

Zhenxi City, Pingxi Palace.

Two flies swept over the castle tower in the west of the town, looking down from the sky.

Zhenxi City is located in the middle of the basin, and two rivers meander through it, like a jade belt, bringing away a narrow valley plain, which is really the best place for farming.

Standing on the tower of Pingxi Palace, overlooking by the railing.

In the distance of the endless plain, there is the Gobi desert full of yellow sand.

Qi Lin, the king of the Western Dynasty of Daming Ping, looked at a camel team from the Western Regions Province, and the corners of his eyes moved slightly.

Now the Pingxi Wang Domain has completely withdrawn from the Central Plains Han and has come to the Fernana Basin promised by Emperor Zhu as his home.

Because Lebao's army was in this part of Central Asia, especially the rich Ferghana Basin, which was completely plundered.

The people have run almost the same, and there are not many indigenous people at all.

Therefore, the Pingxi Domain, which has more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians under its command, wants to thrive in the Fergana Basin, and to control such a large territory, the population is indeed a little less.

Fortunately, the population structure of the Pingxi Domain is very young now, and they are all men and women in the prime of life - it is impossible for the old to follow the thousands of miles.

And now it's the most headache for Qi Lin.

There are too many men and too few women.

If you don't solve the problem of yang and yin decay.

The men of this generation of Pingxi Domain are old, and whether they can hold this rich basin in the future is a big problem.

So.

For Qi Lin, when he arrived in the Ferghana Basin, he established the Western Kingdom of Daming Ping.

It's far from the time to lie flat.

Woman, woman, woman!

This was the most worrying issue for the top leaders of Qi Lin and the Pingxi Domain.

If there is not enough uterus, where can enough children be born, and wait for ten or twenty years to succeed this generation of Pingxi clan men, and guard this basic plate that can allow their children and grandchildren to reproduce from generation to generation.

"Lord Wang, India in the south is going to fight, we might as well . Go get in touch with Lebao. Zhang Hanchao stood beside Qi Lin and suggested.

"Contact with Lebao?!" Qi Lin was taken aback. Will it be?"

Le Bao is a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, if he contacts Le Bao, in case he is known by the imperial court.

"No, where can the imperial court manage the affairs of these thousands of miles away, and we are not allied with Le Bao, I heard that the territory occupied by Le Bao is densely populated, and there must be a lot of women, we can trade with him, and exchange camels and war horses for women!" Zhang Hanchao said.

"This Indian woman has white and black, but in fact, the black is not particularly black, and our people are a species, I am afraid that after a few generations, it will be no different from the Han people, not to mention whether it is Han Chinese, it depends on whether it is learning Chinese and writing Chinese characters." Zhang Hanchao said.

"This place is too rich, our generation can hold it, if the population of the next generation is not enough, we may not be able to keep it, there are so many ethnic groups that have occupied this place in history, but there are not many that can occupy it for a long time. We are now backed by the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty is not declining, we will be able to occupy this place for a long time! This is a territory that can be passed on to future generations, and our generation has to do it. is to give birth to a baby, desperately give birth to a baby! ”

Zhang Hanchao knows very well that in order to occupy the Ferghana Basin for a long time, the most basic thing is to have a large enough population, and the population is large enough to withstand threats from all directions.

"And if we have a large enough population, we can continue to expand westward!"

Zhang Hanchao said.

"Expanding westward? What's on the West Side? ”

"Although most of these places in Persia and Arabia are deserts, they can still breed a lot of people along a few large rivers."

Zhang Hanchao is now thinking about going to the Middle East to farm.

But.

More than a hundred years later.

After the Pingxi Domain occupied most of the oil-producing land, it became the wealthy Pingxi people

Afterworld.

Describe a person as rich.

It's all said that "rich as a Pingxi tyrant".
