Zhu Cijiu is vigorously promoting the development of the Ming Dynasty economy and preparing for monopolizing the market of Portuguese colonies in South Asia. So how is our two Earls Schvira and Condede expanding? If they still only have two places in Goa and Mysore, then our Emperor Chongzheng has worked so hard to develop the economy and produce a large number of cheap goods and has no place to sell them. It would be a bit like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes, which would be embarrassing!

Fortunately, Schvira and Condede were quite active in colonial expansion. After tasting the huge sweetness of Mysore, they went directly into a state of madness. The Portuguese native has been ruled for more than 50 years. It can be said that they have never tasted the real sweetness of colonialism since they were born, including money, land, beauty, slaves, and things that only their previous generation or the senior generation could plunder unscrupulously. Now they are also within their reach. How can all this not make them crazy?

Just after repelling Aurangzeb's 200,000 troops, they adjusted their troops for a while and then began to advance south.

South of Mysore was not the territory of the Mughal Empire. At this time, there were two indigenous kingdoms smaller than Mysore, one was the Kingdom of Gundam and the other was the Kingdom of Birjar. These two indigenous kingdoms were not even vassal states of the Mughal Empire. They just paid tribute to the Mughal Empire and were not included in the territory of the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire naturally would not care about these two kingdoms, but they couldn't care about them now. With the Ming Expeditionary Legion guarding in Mysore, Aurangzeb was silent, and there was still dare to care about the affairs of these two small countries.

Since these two kingdoms were weaker than Mysore, Schvira and Condede decided to take action separately. Condedede went to fight the Kingdom of Gundam, and Schvira dealt with the Kingdom of Birjar.

If we say that the strength of these two kingdoms is indeed not as good as Mysore, but the lessons learned from the Mysore Kingdom they chose to conceal all the troops in the city, close the city gates, and guard the city with all their might!

Now Schvira and Condede were more uncomfortable. The power of the artillery explosion during this period was not very powerful, and the lethality was mainly due to smashing. It was difficult for people to hide on the city wall to smash it. They did not know how to attack with barrage, so they could only rush hard with their scalp. The result was conceivable.

The battle must have been defeated. Both indigenous kingdoms have only more than 20,000 indigenous troops, which can be said to be vulnerable in front of 10,000 Portuguese troops equipped with advanced flintlock rifles, but they relied on the advantages of the city walls to cause certain casualties to the Portuguese army. Schvira and Condede's troops both injured hundreds and died dozens of people.

That's all. Schvira and Condede were both very angry. After breaking the city, they ordered that everyone, whether princes, nobles or ordinary people, be arrested, act as slaves, and all gold, silver and treasures were snatched away. For a moment, the capitals of the two kingdoms continued to wail.

Not to mention barbarism, the early colonists were so barbaric. They were still civilized among the early colonists. Generally, in this case, the indigenous people would definitely be a massacre. Perhaps Schvira and Condede were influenced by the Ming Dynasty, or perhaps they felt that it was better to be killed and not arrested as slaves. In short, the lives of the capitals of both countries were saved.

It can be said that Schvira and Condede were not lucky this time. First, the tenacious resistance of the natives of these two countries made them furious, and finally counting the robbery income made them almost crazy. The robbery income of the capitals of both countries was less than one million taels. What’s even more hateful is that neither of these damn native countries actually had gold mines!

Although I grabbed two pieces of land that were almost the same as the Kingdom of Mysore, my direct income was not even a fraction of the money in Mysore. How could this satisfy these two hungry wolves? What should I do? Naturally, I will continue to grab it!

There is another country south of the Mughal Empire and east of the Mysore front line. Schvira and Condede are sure that this country is definitely richer than the indigenous Kingdom of Mysore, because its territory alone is about 300,000 square kilometers, and its population is nearly 3 million. It would be strange if it is not rich!

However, this country is not an indigenous kingdom, but a feudal dynasty with similar nature to the Mughal Empire. It has many armies, at least 100,000. What’s even more terrifying is that the army of this country is very powerful. They have fought with the Mughal Empire for decades, and the Mughal Empire has been helpless!

This country is the Kutb Shahi Dynasty, a feudal dynasty that only existed for more than a hundred years in history. Although they were finally annexed by the Mughal Empire, at this time, they did have more than 100,000 troops, and the Mughal Empire had no choice but to do anything to them.

At the beginning, Schvira and Condede didn't want to fight like this country. After all, it was a bit too powerful. Even if they could fight, there would definitely be heavy casualties. However, the Gundam Kingdom and the Birjar Kingdom were too poor. The little money they stole was not enough to squeeze their teeth. With their desires, they didn't care whether the other party was strong or not. No matter how powerful they were, they would have to grab it!

It is still a little short of 20,000 people to attack the Kutbushashi Dynasty. What should I do? Will I ask for help from the Expeditionary Force of the Ming Empire? It is already good that someone can help you with the army of the Mughal Empire, and I also ask someone to help you attack the colony. Even a person with a very thick-skinned face like Schvira cannot speak out.

Do you continue to buy weapons from the Ming Dynasty and then continue to recruit soldiers from the country? Neither Kong Dede nor Schvira had this idea. The soldiers recruited had to be paid, and it would cost a lot of money to buy weapons. Their investment was already large enough. If they continued to invest, the cost would be too high. After all, the target in front of them was the Kutbu Shahi Dynasty, and it would be a bit unprofitable to invest desperately.

What should I do? In fact, there is still a way, which is to invite the nearby Portuguese adventurers to attack the Kutbshahi dynasty together. If they fight, they will definitely pay dividends based on the heads, but it doesn't matter. They have 20,000 troops, which will definitely occupy the big part. Moreover, they will never throw away the land they have divided, and they will have to leave people to guard at that time. This is equivalent to changing directions to enhance the defense of the colonies. Why don't they do it?

What Condede and Schvira did not expect was that after the invitation was sent out, almost all the Portuguese adventurers near the Indian Ocean came. After all, when Spain and Portugal "divided the world equally", Portugal divided the eastern hemisphere, so there were so many Portuguese adventurers near the Indian Ocean that gathered tens of thousands of people in the end!

This is not surprising. After all, Portugal also has a population of millions, and the local area has been occupied by Spain. Those who have some solutions have all come out to grab the money. This 10,000 people are still small. Brazil, the largest colony overseas, has at least 10,000 Portuguese adventurers!

The reason why these adventurers all came here is due to Spain. Portugal does not have any regular army now, so these overseas adventurers have no support and can only rely on their own strength to seize the colony. If they are lucky, they can still encounter a garbage indigenous country and turn against each other as robbers. If they are not lucky, they can only rent a small place along the coast to do business. For example, Schvira was like this in Macau. Will he still dare to be a robber when encountering a powerful country like the Ming Dynasty? Of course, they can only be a businessman honestly. If he hadn't been lucky, he would come across Zhu Cijiong and ambitiously want to invade the powers and compete with the great powers for a strong colony monarch, then he would be a down-and-out noble in his life.

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, Schvira had such a fate. She worked as the governor of Macau for several years, did some small business and made some money, and then returned to Portugal and died in obscurity. Where is the glory now?

These adventurers who have lost the support of the country can basically play the role of businessmen honestly, do some small business and make some small money. Now, suddenly a big boss summons them to be robbers and grab money. Of course, there are many respondents. Who wants to do small business? How much money can you make in your life and how quickly you get it!

There are a little more than this ten thousand people, but it is not beyond the tolerance of Condede and Schvira. Since everyone has come, you can't drive them away, so let's get some orders and prepare to start fighting.

According to statistics from Condede and Schvira, not all of them have muskets, and some people use cold weapons, and only half of them have muskets, and they are all combs. The rate of fire and range of firing are incomparable to the flintlocks in their hands. However, this is just right. If you have short hands, just rush forward, and they can only suffer less casualties.

These adventurers had no choice. They also saw the guy in their hands. The speed of fire and attack distance were indeed much stronger than theirs. If they didn't rush forward, would they let others rush forward? People asked them to help, not to let them follow behind to get the bargain. If they dared to follow behind to get the bargain, they would still want to share the money at that time. What a big deal to give you!

With the addition of this ten thousand people, there is no problem in the Kutbu Shahi Dynasty. They have few muskets, but they still have a lot of armor. In today's Europe, the smelting technology is so advanced that you can't afford guns or armor?

With these people standing in front, the army of the Kutb Shahi Dynasty was in trouble. When fighting in field battles, they were basically killed by muskets and cannons before they rushed in. It was useless to rush in front of them. There were also many people fighting in close combat, with armored soldiers in front of them, and someone from behind stabbed them with a bayonet gun. Basically, they were stabbed in the city hornet's nest before they could even kill them.

The siege was even more serious. When there were no melee infantry in the past, Schvira and Condede had to let their soldiers climb the city wall with muskets on their backs. After firing a shot, the muskets could only be used as short guns, and it was impossible to have no casualties. Now it is different. With these people rushing in front, they followed behind to evacuate guns and exchange bullets, it was very comfortable and would not cause any casualties at all.

Faced with advanced muskets and artillery, and facing 30,000 colonists like wolves and tigers, the Kutb Shahi Dynasty did not last long. More than a month later, their capital Hyderabad was conquered.

After conquering such a large feudal dynasty, Schvira and Condede naturally made a lot of money, and the adventurers also made a lot of money. After they had money, their eyes were all aimed at the new flintlock rifle.

Good stuff! I don’t know where to buy it. If you have such advanced weapons, would it be difficult to grab a colony?
