Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 732
This is why the West is getting richer and richer, but China is getting poorer and poorer. The merchants who came from Calcutta with the army almost filled thousands of carts, drove the bullocks, and transported them to Calcutta, Khulna Region, etc. The centuries-old accumulation of Indian maharajas was almost emptied by them.

If this kind of banditry happened in later generations, it is estimated that the United Nations would be turned upside down, and major newspapers and media would criticize by name, but today, civilization is far from developed to that point. After plundering like robbers and accumulating enough capital to become a developed country, it put away the blood-stained pirate machete, hung up its beard, put on civilized gentleman clothes, and transformed into a free and democratic country.

Sun Tzu's Art of War still says: A wise general will eat from the enemy!What Daming did was completely in line with the universal laws of this era.

However, in this era, there is still a universal law, that is, the strong have the final say. If you want to maintain your current status, you must defeat the upcoming army of Bengal Subha, and even fight all the way to Delhi to make the whole of India submit .

Although it was on the territory of the Mughal Empire, the eyes of the Ming Expeditionary Army were obviously farther than that of the Bengal princes. The Indians were separated by caste, and the upper caste came into contact with the lower caste. Dislike is fine, but businessmen in Daming didn't take this into account. In Daming's workshop, many trivial jobs that don't require people to be seen will be handed over to these lower castes with cheap wages, giving many people job opportunities , because of this good governance, Ming Shang has gathered a lot of contacts.

In Indian society, these are the most well-informed people.

With the tip-off from the Leading Party, within five days, Li Dingguo calmly sent away more than 2 business groups with their trophies, and immediately repaired the city wall, calmly waiting for the arrival of the Bangladesh army.

Five days later, on June NO.19, the mighty Mughal army came all the way from Colakad, the capital of Bengal, in the scorching heat.

Compared with their navy, the Mughal army can support the face of the empire. Unlike the shirtless Indian soldiers in those later movies, most of the more than 7 Bangladeshi troops are armored , the cavalry was as high as 20, and in the dense army formation, there were more than [-] war elephants walking in front of them.

Looking forward with the binoculars, Wang Fuchen, who had never seen such a thing before, couldn't help but gasped, pointing in astonishment at the war elephant, which was covered in iron armor all over its body and had sharp knives on its tusks, and shouted in amazement.

"What the hell is this? These local bastards have such monsters!"

"This thing doesn't matter!"

Also put down the binoculars, Li Dingguo also pointed forward worriedly.

"It's not these guys that are really worrying. As expected of an empire that is on the same side as my Ming Dynasty, you can see that his army is equipped with so many firearms! And there are even Hongyi cannons!"

The shadow of the French playing tricks was completely revealed. There were 42 French twelve-pound guns, and more than 300 French people arrogantly ordered the Indian soldiers to drag these cannons forward.

It is said that oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges. This is what Wang Fuchen did. Li Dingguo was worried when he heard it, so he simply hugged his fists.

"Since Li Shuai thinks those cannons are difficult, why not lead the cavalry at the end of the day and destroy him first?"

"No, don't mount your cavalry, wait for my signal!"

Seeing that the Bangladeshi army was like a big tortoise, pushing it with its arms in its arms, and thinking about it again for a moment, Li Dingguo still shook his head.

Suddenly, the horns of the Expeditionary Army also sounded in a hurry, and amidst the sound of drums, the battalions actually came out of the trenches dug under the city, and arranged a square formation in front of the trench. Each division formed a huge hollow square. The skirmisher battalion was arranged in two rows as the leading infantry, and was located in the center of the front of the formation. The artillerymen of each battalion pushed more than ten [-]-pounder infantry guns to three-pounder infantry guns allocated to them, and followed the army closely.

Although the expeditionary army had fewer soldiers, the width of the Ming army's battle line remained the same as that of the Bangladesh army because of the sparse formation opened by the large hollow square.

A total of ten divisions and 3 people formed a square formation, but the two cavalry divisions led by Wang Fuchen strayed far away from the battlefield like cowards and walked slowly south.

The two armies didn't fire directly, they confronted each other for about 10 to 400 minutes, and the distance was about 300 meters to [-] meters before they stopped. A dozen or so Indian cavalry were the first to run over with the white flag symbolizing the envoy. .

The two armies are fighting, and they don't cut them off. Besides, Li Dingguo is really not afraid that his army formation will be spied on. He should hide behind his back. The more conspicuous he is, the better. Walking in the formation, he waved his hand, and Li Dingguo ordered the skirmishers to let go. Come on, let these cavalry come in.

To be honest, the quality of the horses of these Mughal cavalry is better than that of the slave cavalry. The Indian dynasty established by the conquerors also brought good horses from Central Asia, especially the horses on which the envoy was riding. With a shoulder height of more than 1.6 meters, a Sikh general with a big beard and a turban on his head raised his head high and looked down, arrogantly talking a lot in Indian dialect.

"Who are you to invade the empire of His Majesty Shah Jahan, who is under the protection of the Lord!"

These guys are arrogant to a certain extent. They first arrested the merchants of the Ming Empire, and then Song Qingshu officially sent envoys to declare war on the Mughals, but it has been less than half a month since the war started, and the other party still doesn't know who they are. They didn't take Daming's threat seriously at all. Listening to the interpreter, Li Dingguo was angry and funny, and he said it with a serious face.

"We are the expeditionary army of the Ming Empire to suppress the bandits. You are arrogant and greedy, and the Ming Dynasty kindly bestowed trade and brought you wealth. You even took revenge for your kindness by detaining my business house and killing my overseas Chinese. My family, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the university students of Shoufu sent this general to raise troops to attack you and other thieves."

He really didn't pay much attention to Daming. Hearing Li Dingguo's vigorous yelling, he seemed to realize what was going on after thinking about it for a while. The bearded Sikh general chattered a lot again.

"You people spread heresies and don't believe in the true God. You are heretics. His Majesty Shah Jahan allowed you to live in this world because of his kindness. How dare you dare to resist the rule of His Majesty Shah Jahan. My Governor of Bangladesh, Mr. Jamil, ordered, Put down your weapons immediately, and offer 100 talents of gold and [-] million bolts of silk to His Majesty Shah Jahan. He can spare your lives, otherwise, His Majesty will lead an army to crush your Ming country and kill the infidels Kill all."

"Fart your mother, I will give you a hammer, how about..."

"Come if you have the ability, I will continue!"

There was already a grumpy general of the Ming army who yelled and cursed unforgivingly, but he stretched out his arms to embrace the excited subordinates, and then turned to look at the arrogant Sikh general, but Li Dingguo was also serious, and took out a Zhang When the official document came, he read it with a serious face.

"On the order of my cabinet commander, if your Mughal Empire knows the mistake, apologizes to Daming, and offers 10 taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver as compensation for the losses of our businessmen, and opens the Bay of Bengal port, Daming may consider withdrawing troops Let you go, otherwise, this commander will lead the army all the way to your Delhi, destroy your ancestral temple, capture you alive and wait for the emperor to go to the Central Plains, and apologize to my emperor!"

The tone on both sides was really loud. Hearing Li Dingguo read the letter of credence, the Sikh was stunned for a few seconds before glaring at Li Dingguo contemptuously. and go.

After seeing off the bearded man, and turning around to face the extremely angry expeditionary soldiers who had already heard, Li Dingguo suddenly raised his rifle high and roared loudly.

"Everyone has seen the arrogance of the Mughals, what do you say?"

"Fuck it!"

Tens of thousands of arms shouted and raised. The victory made the Ming Empire army the most heroic at this time. The morale of the army was as sharp as a sharp sword, pointing straight at the sky.

"Go on!"

The drums sounded again, and the commanders of the various front lines drew out their sabers and held them in their hands. Immediately, the forward skirmishers began to charge towards the front like a wall.

However, the army marched for more than 100 meters, and Li Dingguo, who was in charge of the army, raised his binoculars again in astonishment.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The heavy artillery of the expeditionary force was not yet in place, but the opponent had 42 French twelve-pound guns. At first, Li Dingguo was worried that the opponent would bombard him first, so he had to march forward under the artillery fire. However, during these precious minutes, these Indians not only In one shot, the front line became a little messy.

Some Marathas with turbans on their heads screamed like monkeys, somersaulted backwards and somersaulted somersaults; Chakra's round wheel blade was thrown back and forth in circles around him, and he slapped the ground with a big whip.

In short, it looks like a lively circus, and the forward skirmishers are also confused. Is this dry wool?
"Forget it, leave him alone!"

Seeing that the big circus has advanced another 200 meters and has already entered the shooting range, Li Dingguo, who has been wondering for a long time, doesn't want to think about what kind of nerves these guys have lost, so he simply waved his hand down fiercely, forward, listen The drumbeat stopped, and the scouts of the ten battalions stopped in unison. With a clap, the first row squatted down, the second row held up their rifles, and the two rows of densely packed firearms aimed at the bustling circus opposite. regiment army.

"shot!"

As the semaphore fell, the command sabers of the commanders of each battalion were also chopped off. Amidst the roar, the skirmisher battalion pulled the triggers neatly, and with the recoil, they swayed backwards. In an instant, countless scalp-numbing With a sharp whistling sound, the bullets slammed into the army of the Mughal Empire, who was playing happily.

Amidst the crackling sound, a layer of people fell down...
