Chapter 512 Daming, open your eyes to see the world

"Now it is the Mughal Kingdom, and the emperor is Sha Jahan. The country has hundreds of local states ruled by Indian princes, equivalent to princes."

Shadingzhou was explaining to the local officials in front of a map, "Although India is big, it is divided into various parts. The Sikhs, Rajiputs, and the Maratha countries have military strength that is comparable to the Mughal Empire."

"Also, Shah Jahan's four sons are fighting for the throne, and the second son declares himself emperor of Bangladesh. The third son is also challenging his father and crown prince..."

"The intelligence provided by the imperial court was Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom that established strongholds in India, but their strength was very weak and they were not the main opponents. At least, in the eyes of the Ministry of War, there would be no conflict for the time being."

As people who went to India for personal inspection, Shadingzhou and others despised and despised the Mughal Empire.

The imperial court's research and analysis of India was also quite correct. The conflicts between India's religion, ethnicity, caste, region, etc. can be used to defeat each one, divide and govern it.

Speaking of military strength, the Mughal Empire's army was very large in number, but it was already too far behind in terms of weapons, equipment and tactical play.

Sha Dingzhou and others also heard about this and were full of confidence in expanding their foundation in Tianzhu.

The strength of the imperial court and the general trend of changing land and returning to the current situation forced the southwest chieftains to look for a way out. They obviously did not have the courage to rebel.

Moreover, the court has already put forward conditions to implement the governor system in the land occupied by India and can be hereditary.

Of course, while enjoying a high degree of autonomy, the court also had some restrictions to prevent them from doing whatever they wanted. If war arouses, it would be a whole thing.

According to the deduction of the Ministry of War, the troops entering Tianzhu for the first time will not be less than 20,000. With the logistics support personnel such as Minwei, it is more appropriate to have 30,000 to 40,000.

The route of march was not to go to the Wild Man Mountains, but to go westward through the Burmese city of Bagan, occupied by Siam, and directly enter the Sultanate of Bangladesh.

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

Given the raging rainy season in the subtropical rainy season, the emperor was worried that the people and supplies that entered India would be cut off and become an isolated army.

Therefore, for several years, the emperor has been making arrangements and occupying Temasek is equivalent to controlling half of the Strait of Malacca. When crossing the Strait of Malacca, he enters the Indian Ocean and can drive into the Bay of Bengal.

The rainy season is almost half a year, and there are supplies from the sea and tens of thousands of people have taken root in the Sultan of Bangladesh, so it will unexpectedly become a situation of fighting alone.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of what. The emperor was still cautious about entering the South Asian subcontinent and entering the Indian Ocean.

The southwestern chieftains basically mobilized, and at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops were trained, and supplemented by the Ming army's artillery. This expedition was a heavy dispatch and another major operation after the conquest of Myanmar.

After a big defeat, Myanmar was constantly attacked by the chieftain coalition and the Siamese army, and has not recovered yet.

In addition, the Meng people in southern Myanmar took advantage of the situation and the division and civil strife of the Dongyu Dynasty were inevitable.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had sent people to contact the Meng tribe, hoping to provide assistance to the Meng tribe with weapons and equipment under the conditions of renting Shalian to build a shopping mall.

Military strength is only one aspect. The emperor uses his historical insights to seize various opportunities to continuously strive for benefits for the Ming Empire.

While connecting with the Meng people, the emperor also established contacts with the Arakan Dynasty on the southwestern coast of Myanmar through the Portuguese, seeking coastal strongholds that were acquired without a fight.

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

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

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

The Ming army was becoming stronger and stronger, government affairs became clearer and clearer, and the possibility of civil unrest was getting smaller and smaller.

For the southwest toast, it is inevitable to seek a broader living space outside.

The outside world is very big, the outside land is very fertile, and there is a lot of wealth outside. The indigenous people outside cannot defeat them...

If you want to grow your branches and expand your foundation, just listening to other people's arrangements is passive and not sure. Only by seeing and researching with yourself can you have a clear mind.

Younger generations like Shadingzhou, like going out to broaden their horizons and research and analysis have become smarter. It is not an exaggeration to say that they open their eyes to the world.

The same is true for officials in the court. The development of the country is getting closer and closer to the outside world. You are still old-fashioned and do not seek rich knowledge and broader horizons, and you will be surpassed by others.

At least, when the emperor asks some things, you will be disgraced, and there is still a possibility of promotion, even your original official position will be guaranteed.

The Western Yi has long been divided into details rather than to describe all Europeans in general.

Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, etc., their location, national strength, and even history are all available to read and understand from it.

The country of the Celestial Empire was just what the Ming Dynasty thought of and was praised by some small Asian countries.

Break out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are more countries and more land; in addition to the vast ocean, there are also Western countries that can sail thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty.

Knowledge and vision change the minds of the Ming people. In the eyes of the emperor, there will be no strange insights about Westerners not bent their knees and falling down with a bamboo pole.

Ignorance is bullied, and backwardness is beaten. This is an unchanging rule. The world is big and wonderful, but it is also cruel.

The Tiger Dun Rabbit, who once unified the Mongolian tribes and repeated the glory of his ancestors, finally reached the end of his life.

He launched a large-scale attack on the border, and wanted to force the Ming court to surrender and restore the market rewards. However, he was not expected to be greeted by elite soldiers and sieges from three sides.

After a big defeat, Hudun Rabbit could only lead the remaining troops back to Huihua City. But God did not give him a chance to breathe. "The frost outside the border was premature, and the particles were not harvested, and the epidemic was prevalent", which almost put him in a desperate situation.

A large number of troops fled from the control of Hudun Rabbit, and, under the storm of hunger and cold, rushed to the Ming Dynasty.

The three-sided governor Sun Chuanting and the Xuanda governor Zhu Tongmeng summoned various tribes to meet in the Sila Mulun River to jointly attack the Hudun Rabbit.

Korqin, Zarut, Balin, Naiman, Aohan, Kalaqin (, Tumote, Arukorqin, Wenniut, Asut and other troops sent troops to assist in the battle, with a total force of about 100,000.
