I'm a big dick

Chapter 692 Daming, open your eyes to see the world
"Now it is the Mughal Kingdom, and the emperor's name is Shah Jahan. There are hundreds of states in the country ruled by Indian princes, which are equivalent to princes."

Facing a map, Sha Dingzhou was explaining to the local officials, "Although Tianzhu is big, it is torn apart. There are Sikhs, Rajputs, and Maratha countries. There are countries with Mughals. A force to rival the Empire."

"Moreover, Shah Jahan's four sons are vying for the throne, and the second son has declared himself the emperor of Bengal. The third son is also challenging his father and the crown prince..."

"The information provided by the imperial court indicates that Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom have established strongholds in Tianzhu, but their strength is very weak and they are not the main opponents. At least, according to the Ministry of War, there will be no conflicts for the time being."

As personnel who went to Tianzhu for inspection in person, Sha Dingzhou and others had a contemptuous and contemptuous attitude towards the Mughal Empire.

The imperial court's research and analysis of Tianzhu is also quite correct. The oppositions of religion, ethnicity, caste, and region in Tianzhu can be used to break down each one and divide and rule.

When it comes to military strength, the Mughal Empire's army is huge in number, but it has fallen behind too much in terms of weapons and tactics.

Sha Dingzhou and others have also heard about this, and they are full of confidence in expanding their business in Tianzhu.

The power of the imperial court and the general trend of reforming the land and returning it to the local people made the Southwest chieftain have to look for a way out.They obviously don't have the guts to rebel.

Moreover, the imperial court has come up with the conditions that the land occupied by Tianzhu will be implemented as a governor system and can be hereditary.

Of course, while enjoying a high degree of autonomy, the imperial court also has some restrictions so that it cannot do whatever it wants. If wars are stirred up, it will be an overall matter.

According to the deduction of the Ministry of War, the number of troops entering Tianzhu for the first time will not be less than 4. With the addition of militia and other logistics support personnel, [-] to [-] troops are more appropriate.

The route of the march did not take the Savage Mountain, but passed through Bagan, the Burmese city occupied by Siam, crossed the Araqian Mountains to the west, and directly entered the Bengal Sultanate.

This is the most densely populated and economically developed area on the subcontinent, and is in danger of being annexed by the Mughal Empire.More importantly, there is the Bay of Bengal, with excellent ports.

In view of the ravages of the subtropical rainy season, the emperor worried that the troops and horses entering Tianzhu would be cut off and become a lone army.

Therefore, the emperor has been laying out the layout for several years. Occupying Temasek is equivalent to controlling half of the Strait of Malacca.When crossing the Strait of Malacca, it enters the Indian Ocean and can sail into the Bay of Bengal.

The rainy season lasts for almost half a year, and with supplies from the sea, tens of thousands of people have taken root in the Sudan of Bangladesh, and it will become a situation of fighting alone.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.The emperor was still cautious about entering the South Asian subcontinent and entering the Indian Ocean with the navy.

The southwestern chieftains were basically mobilized, and at least [-] to [-] troops had to be armed and trained, supplemented by artillery from the Ming army. This expedition can be described as a heavy deployment, another major operation after the expedition to Burma.

After a big defeat in Burma, it was continuously attacked by the Tusi coalition forces and the Siamese army, and it has not recovered yet.

Coupled with the rise of the Mon people in southern Myanmar, the split and civil strife of the Toungoo Dynasty were inevitable.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had already sent someone to contact the Meng people, hoping to give the Meng people assistance with weapons and equipment on the condition of renting Sha Lian to build a business house.

Military strength is only one aspect. The emperor is using his historical knowledge to maneuver around and is seizing various opportunities to continuously strive for the interests of the Ming Empire.

While in contact with the Mon people, the emperor also established contact with the Arakan Dynasty on the southwestern coast of Myanmar through the Portuguese, seeking coastal strongholds without a fight.

Some benefits do not necessarily require war, and can also be obtained at the negotiating table.

The key is to look at the timing. The Arakan Dynasty is under the pressure of the Mughal Empire and the annexation of Burma. The Ming Empire extended a helping hand. For them, it should be a good choice.

Change, change, everywhere.It is the requirement of the times, and it is also the gradual sense of oppression caused by the emperor.

The strength of the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, the government affairs are getting clearer and clearer, and the possibility of civil strife is getting smaller and smaller.

For Southwest chieftains, it is inevitable to seek a wider living space outside.

The outside world is huge, the land outside is very fertile, the wealth outside is rich, and the natives outside cannot defeat them...

If you want to spread your branches and leaves, want to expand your foundation, and just listen to other people's arrangements, that's passive and not guaranteed.Only when you see it with your own eyes and study it yourself, will you have a bottom line in your heart.

Young people like Sha Dingzhou have broadened their horizons by going out, and their research and analysis are also shrewd.It would not be an exaggeration to say that he opened his eyes to the world.

The same is true for the officials in the court. The development of the country is more and more closely connected with the outside world. If you are still old-fashioned, if you don’t seek rich knowledge and broad horizons, you will be surpassed by others.

At least, when the emperor asks something, if your eyes are darkened, then there is no possibility of promotion, and even your original official position will be lost.

Xiyi has long been classified in detail, rather than describing all Europeans in general.

Portugal, Spain, Holland, England, France, etc., their positions, national strengths, and even their history are all books to read and learn from.

The Kingdom of Heaven, that is only what Ming thinks, and is touted by some small countries in Asia.

Jumping out of the territory of Ming Dynasty, there are more countries and more land; beyond the vast ocean, there are even western countries that can sail thousands of miles to Ming Dynasty.

Knowledge and vision have changed the thinking of Daming people.From the emperor's point of view, there will be no more Western people's strange knowledge of falling over with a bamboo pole without bending their knees.

Those who are ignorant will be deceived, and those who are backward will be beaten.This is an unchanging law. The world is very big and wonderful, but it is also very cruel.

Huduntu, who was once eager to unify the tribes of Mongolia and repeat the glory of his ancestors, has finally reached the point of doom.

The large-scale invasion of the border wanted to force the Ming court to surrender and restore the market rewards.But he didn't expect that he would be greeted by elite soldiers and strong generals, as well as besieged from three sides.

After a big defeat, Huduntu could only lead the remnants back to Huacheng.But God did not give him a chance to breathe. "The frost outside the Great Wall is early, the grains are not harvested and the epidemic is prevalent", which almost puts him in a desperate situation.

A large number of people escaped from Huduntu's control, and turned to Daming under the pressure of hunger and cold.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, and Zhu Tongmeng, the governor of Xuanda, called the Taiji League of various ministries in the Xilamulun River to attack Huduntu together.

Horqin, Zalut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Karaqin (, Tumot, Alu Horqin, Ongniud, Asut and other ministries sent troops to help the battle, with a total strength of about [-].

Only the people of Huduntu can destroy it.The majestic Mongolian Khan fell into the situation of betrayal, which is both embarrassing and lamentable.
