Chapter 827: Chronicles of the Kingdoms
The fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
Dhaka.
Of course, this city no longer has this name. It has already had a new name since the first Chu army landed two years ago and used cannons to defeat the war elephants of the Bangladesh people and occupied the capital of the Sultanate of Bangladesh, which had just been established for thirty years...
Gusu.
By the way, this can be regarded as a special feeling of King Chu.
At this time, the original heretic buildings here have basically been demolished, and the imitation of Chinese-style urban construction is building a new city with a circumference of 36 miles, which is also divided into two cities. The outer city is inhabited by the people, while the inner city is inhabited by the people, and the latter is the immigrants who came with the King of Chu. However, the inner city wall is different from the low, and is actually only equivalent to the outer city of the Sheep and Horse Wall. It is a three-mile-diameter castle with nine corners. The center of the bastion is the palace of the King of Chu. His Highness and his family, who are gradually conquering this land, live there in the worship of the people of the outer city.
According to the explanation of the Hindu elders who were threatened and tempted by the King of Chu, these conquerors from the East were actually Kshatriya, and the Taoist priests who came with them were Brahmins, and the God of Haotian they believed in was equivalent to Brahma.
The people of the people suddenly realized.
They also gave up the idea of resisting.
Since they are of a high caste, they are just a big deal to resist as a low caste.
In addition, according to the explanations of these elders, these Kshatriya from the East actually represent the gods to save them. The Turks who originally conquered this land were actually the minions of the demon Luoshu. Their rule of this land aroused the anger of the gods such as Shiva. So in fact, those gods such as Shiva with different names as the Chu people were sent to lead the Kshatriya from the East to rescue people from the rule of the demons. Therefore, not only Bangladesh, but also the entire Delhi Sultanate will be thoroughly purified, just like after the Chu army landed, they took them to purify the demonic minions of this city.
This is perfect.
Now the King of Chu has begun to have a servant army.
The three of them followed the British lords in history and fought in the entire East, following the Chu army along the Ganges and Bramaputra Rivers to conquer the demonic minions. The news just now was that a 50,000 army, including two brigades of Chu army and vassal army, were besieging Murhidabad. Of course, if they didn't call this name at this time, taking it down means that the entire Ganges Delta became the treasure of the King of Chu.
"You're doing a good job!"
Yang Feng looked at the three people who were worshiping each other with fear and fear, and said to Zhang Shicheng with satisfaction.
He fell from the sky with colorful light, perfectly proved the lies of those Brahmin elders, and also turned the conquest of the King of Chu into a righteous act.
Actually this is the best way.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhang Shicheng to conquer this country so easily even if it was firearmed. Even if the Sultanate of Bangladesh alone was at the level of tens of millions, but this method solved the problem and won over the high castes of Hinduism, just like the British in history, they would then rule the lower castes with them, and then benefited the lower castes by the purge of another belief. The result was that everyone was very happy.
Even those natives of the high caste would regard these conquerors as relatives.
Originally, during the partition of India and Pakistan, the local kings cried and shouted not to let the British go, and some even threatened suicide. During the two wars, the local kings not only donated a large sum of money to the UK, but also led their troops to Europe to fight for Britain. Being conquered people can do this level, which is a strange thing. Now Zhang Shicheng plays the role of the British in history.
And he did better.
After all, the British would not encourage cleaning, and at most they would provoke conflicts. He supported his people to clean up the demon's minions, and then distributed the latter's land and wealth to his people...
Although most of them fall into the hands of Chinese people.
But the lower castes of the people were eventually distributed to the soup. The people who came with Zhang Shicheng were only tens of thousands of families. Including the elderly, weak, women and children who were still relocating, at most, there were more than 100,000 people. But how many of the original demonic minions were there on this land? There are millions, and the wealth of millions of people, those Chinese people took away half, at least half of the people. Among the remaining half, the high castes took away half, and there were still many left to return to the lower castes. This can be said to be a joy. Of course, the floating corpses on the Ganges River are almost worth mentioning every day. Besides, this river was like this.
"The immortal masters are all the people below, and now the disciples are just meditating on the Taoist Dharma."
Zhang Shicheng said.
The immortal master not only washed his essence and marrow, but also taught him a set of ways of practicing. Now he is thinking about how to live for a hundred years. He even rarely cares about government affairs. It is entirely the responsibility of a group of ministers. Because the palace has not been completed, he now practices Taoism in a nearby mountain villa every day...
Create human beings by the way.
After all, he doesn't have many children.
This old guy not only brought all the women he had in Suzhou, but also bought slaves in large quantities, and even local women were not spared. For example, the daughter of the sultan of the Bangladesh who was cleaned was in his subordinates, and those who were high castes who contributed to show loyalty to him. A San and the others did not lack beauties. Those with dark skin were low castes, and the high castes were also respected as white. Don’t mention A San, the dinosaurs in the dirty water of the Ganges River. The appearance of the high castes and low castes was not at the same level.
Now the number of beauties behind this old guy has reached a thousand!
Yang Feng patted his shoulder to show his approval.
This is how things happened to Chu State. In fact, Zhang Shicheng's choice was the smartest. Regardless of whether his descendants could conquer the subcontinent, they would continue as rulers on this land. Because Zhu Yuanzhang needed such a vassal state, Chu State could not only serve as the trade center for the Ming Dynasty to face the entire India, but also could intimidate Uszang from behind. It can be said that as long as Chu State and the Ming Dynasty maintained a close relationship, Uszang would never want to cause trouble. Once they wanted to cause trouble, the Ming army heading north from here would directly hit its hinterland, just like Yang Feng did during the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang must support Chu.
Yang Feng stopped for a short time in Gusu, and flew to the west under the worship of all the Chinese and foreigners, including those Brahmins, to his next stop, Han.
Chen Youliang's place is not that simple.
Basra.
"The horse is here!"
Zhang Dingbian raised his telescope and said with a smile.
They were at the city of Basra. The Ir Khanate had already perished. The people who ruled the lower reaches of the Mesopotamian Basin were the Zhalayier people, Mongolian, but they had already become a great sacrificial. This dynasty existed for a short time and was soon destroyed by the lame Timur. Although it was later restored, it was then merged into the Persian Black Sheep Dynasty. However, the capital of Zhalayier was in Tabriz and lived in Baghdad only in winter. Moreover, this area was not just one. After the demise of the Ir Khanate, the entire Khanate was divided into several parts. The north of the Zhalayier dynasty, including the Kurdish settlement area, belonged to the Muzhafar dynasty, which was the Mamluks in Egypt. The Mamluk controlled areas included Syria and other places. As for the eastern Persia and Afghanistan, the Kaltied dynasty.
In addition, the situation in the entire Middle East of West Asia and the Middle East controlled by the cripple Timur, and the Asian Minor Peninsula controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
The strongest one is the cripple.
Of course, it is definitely not now.
"Old rules!"
Chen Shan'er beside Zhang Ding said.
The prince of Han took the horse without hesitation and took off his spear. At this time, his whole body was wrapped in plate armor, but not steel, but titanium alloy plate armor given by his master. Five hundred Arabian horse-riding cavalry quickly formed a formation behind him.
These are all the cavalry currently in the Han army.
The war horses were obtained in Muscat, but it was not easy to transport 30,000 soldiers from Muscat to here. Of course, it was impossible to transport thousands of war horses. Zhang Dingbian, famous for his cavalry, now only 500 cavalry is available, but he did not expect these cavalry. After Chen Shan'er got on the horse, he immediately led his troops to retreat behind a huge multi-layer arc composed of 30,000 infantry. In the guard of this huge arc there is a large-caliber mortar position. Fifty pounds of mortars are constantly shooting expensive flowering bullets into Basra. The city is completely covered by rolling smoke, and the loud explosions are constantly coming. On the Euphrates River protected by the Han army formation, warships full of supplies are docking, and the crew are constantly unloading boxes of ammunition and canned food.
"This is called the moon formation!"
Zhang Dingbian said calmly at the surging cavalry.
"Master, has the mortar adjusted its target?"
An officer beside him said.
"No need, they have not been hit by the flower bullets. Our cannons rang out and we would run away. How can we chase the five hundred cavalry? Just wait for them to come. These cavalry are almost all the forces that can be gathered by the surrounding cities. The only thing left to destroy them in one battle is to take over the territory."
Zhang Dingbian said.
This area has actually suffered a plague.
Especially Baghdad, it is also a severely affected area of the Black Death. It is not that the Black Death only swept Europe. West Asia and the Middle East and North Africa have also been affected to a certain extent. However, this area is drought and hot, and it is obviously not as suitable for bacteria as Europe. The plague bacillus cannot withstand the direct exposure of high temperatures and sunlight, while the Middle East is the most serious. Therefore, this area did not suffer almost a catastrophe like Europe, but only swept through the worst years.
But it passed quickly.
The Black Death stopped in Baghdad in the Middle East, but it still caused serious deaths in this area. The cities of Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad and even Mecca were all severely damaged. It has been more than twenty years since it has not yet recovered.
In addition, the area itself is divided, so the Han army only targets Zhalayier people and will not encounter too many enemies. But what we need to worry about is that they play guerrilla warfare, so they must lure the enemy as much as possible in the battle and then annihilate them to avoid them scattering and hiding in the surrounding desert.
At this moment, nearly 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side had already started charging. On one runner-up Arab horses, the mixed cavalry of Mongolian, Arab and even Persian rush forward. They had never faced the infantry lined up and were fearless. In their eyes, these light infantry without armor were just to deliver vegetables to the cavalry. And the veterans of the Han army who almost destroyed more than half of the Yuan army on their own were looking at these cavalry indifferently, in their eyes, this was also a delivery.
On the position behind them, the twelve-pound cannon roared first, followed by the six-pound cannon, and the solid bullet hit the cavalry and continued to move forward.
Soon they started to slow down.
These are all light cavalry. Their task is to shoot bows and arrows instead of rushing into the formation. The dense jungle of bayonets on the opposite side needs heavy cavalry to hit them. They are not doing this.
However, they didn't know it was suicide.
The next moment, all the flintlock rifles in the hands of all infantry spewed out flames at the same time.
The charging cavalry suddenly collapsed.
However, there was no time to turn around and still kept stepping over the companions. Because of panic, they soon began to retreat or disperse in chaos. Some stopped and tried to pick up the bow and arrow to attack as they expected. So they gave the infantry a chance to load the bullets. After only more than twenty seconds, the veterans who could be said to have experienced many battles shot bullets again, and then the cavalry fell down again in pieces.
Only then did they realize that bows and arrows were useless in such battles.
The power of weapons between the two sides is too big.
The light cavalry immediately gave up the attack, then separated to the sides, giving up the most elite heavy cavalry behind them. The latter's charge began immediately. The Han army still continued to bombard the twelve-pound cannons and six-pound cannons, but they kept putting the heavy cavalry to a distance of ten feet before firing. The two thousand heavy cavalry fell down at least one-third in an instant, but the rest did not give the Han army infantry a chance to shoot again. They crashed into the bayonet formation in front of the infantry line like a torrent of steel.
However, at this moment, countless grenades fell from the sky, and the sound of explosions and fire and smoke caused the war horse to collapse instantly.
The charge of heavy cavalry was in chaos.
The war horses that suddenly encountered this kind of thing were completely scared. Faced with the explosion of hundreds of black gunpowder grenades, they instinctively turned around, even fell down under inertial push, or collided with the cavalry behind them, only a few cavalry crashed into the bayonet forest, but in a blink of an eye they were tied into a sieve. At the same time, most infantrymen who were not affected by the impact began to shoot the second round of bullets, and the cavalry who were desperately controlling the war horses under their crotch fell one after another. In the blink of an eye, less than half of the two thousand cavalry remained. The subsequent heavy cavalry who were bombarding the solid bullets knew they were defeated and retreated quickly...
"kill!"
Chen Shan'er yelled.
His five hundred-breasted cavalry immediately activated the war horse.
Chapter completed!
