Chapter 2146 General Baikui (First) Internal Meeting (Part [-])
It may be because Wang Tingzhuan's performance exceeded expectations. Gao Yushi was in a good mood when he returned home today, and even his footsteps seemed three points lighter than usual.

However, this good mood immediately "turned from sunny to cloudy" after he heard Gao Qi's report on the latest news from southern Xinjiang.

Gao Qi's report: The Arakan Kingdom seems to have sensed the intention of southern Xinjiang to mobilize troops against them, and urgently sent envoys to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to contact the Governor of Bangladesh of the Mughal Empire and the third son of Akbar the Great. Daniyal.

At present, the secretariat's presumption is that the Mughal Empire will not be indifferent to the affairs of the Arakan Kingdom, but it is not sure whether the prince and governor Danyar will choose to immediately support the Arakan Kingdom by force in resisting the southern border. Military action.

Gao Wushi pondered for a moment, and ordered Huang Zhiting and Gao Wuzheng to come, and together with Gao Qi, hold a high-level meeting within Jinghua.The order had just been conveyed, when Gao Wushi suddenly added something, and sent someone to invite Gao Guoyan, the executive chairman of the Ming Fed and the president of Jinghua Bank.

Gao Guoyan is Gao Yushi's cousin, born as the second son of the second house.Because of his elder brother's early death, his ranking was one place ahead of him, ranking second in the clan, second only to Gao Wuzi who was restricted by Gao Yushi to the Xinzheng Shouzu Temple.

Gao Guoyan entered Jinghua very early and was in charge of Jinghua's financial review in the early days. Later, when Jinghua Bank was established, he served as the president.

When the Federal Reserve Bank of Ming Dynasty was established, Gao Yushi was naturally the candidate to be the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank. However, Gao Yushi was too busy, so he could only take a general direction, and someone had to be responsible for the specific affairs. Therefore, Gao Guoyan served concurrently as the president of Jinghua Bank. Executive Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minnesota.

Gao Yushi is often jokingly referred to as the God of Wealth of Ming Dynasty, so deduced in this way, Gao Guoyan is the God of Wealth of Jinghua, and there is no doubt about his high status, great power, and heavy responsibility.

Since the headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank of Ming Dynasty is a little far away from Nanning Houfu, the high-level meeting was postponed until the meal time.Gao Wushi saw that since it was time for dinner, he simply greeted everyone after dinner.

After the meal, the five of them came to the small conference room for a meeting. Originally, Gao Wushi wanted to stay with Gao Mo for the meeting, but Uncle Mo was really old and his energy was visible to the naked eye, so Gao Wushi had to let him go to rest first.

In this way, Gao Yushi, Huang Zhiting and his wife, Gao Guoyan, Gao Wuzheng, and Gao Qi were left behind for the meeting.

According to Gao Wushi's instructions, the intelligence secretary Gao Qi first announced the newly obtained information to everyone, and then Gao Wushi asked, "What do you guys think?"

Because it is related to southern Xinjiang, Huang Zhiting, who has been in charge for many years as her husband, took the initiative to say: "The military strength of the Arakan Kingdom is not worth mentioning to Southern Xinjiang. Since the country has discovered that the situation is different, sending people to seek help is the answer. There is meaning.

However, as far as I can see, the country's behavior is probably seeking skin from a tiger.Thinking that the Mughal Empire is now in a period of expansion, and it hasn’t been long since they took over the Bengal area. Now they suddenly find that there is still a chance to go further, and they are expected to take Chittagong, which they have been peeping for a long time.

The concubine thought that Prince Danial must be tempted—but not to help Arakan, but to annex Arakan before the southern border. "

After Huang Zhiting finished speaking, Gao Wushi just nodded slightly, but he was noncommittal and looked at Gao Guoyan instead.Gao Guoyan shook his head and said, "I've never thought about these things, let Shiyi and Yufu talk about it first."

"Eleven" refers to Gao Wuzheng, who is eleven in the family and six in the six houses.Gao Guoyan is his second cousin's cousin, so he is called "Eleven".As for "Yu Fu", it is the name of Gao Qi.

It is true that Gao Guoyan seldom directly expresses his stance on political and military issues prematurely. Everyone is used to this, and they don't pay much attention to his attitude, so everyone's eyes are first focused on Gao Wuzheng's face.

In the past, Gao Wuzheng was often in a hurry when he had the opportunity to speak, and he seemed to have a strong desire to express himself, but this time he seemed to have changed his mind, and instead of expressing his point of view immediately, he pondered for a while before speaking. Instead, he asked Gao Qi a question.

"Yu Fu, how many soldiers does the Kingdom of Arakan have, and how many soldiers does the Bengal governor of Daniyar have?"

Gao Qi replied: "The Arakan Kingdom does not have many troops. Usually, it is no more than 5000 at most. At present, it should not exceed [-]. Moreover, this is the total force including their standing navy. As for the army... I am afraid it is too much." Let's have around [-] people.

As for the Governor of Bangladesh of the Mughal Empire, we don’t know whether the information we got is accurate: the Mughal Empire, which had just captured Bangladesh, had about [-] to [-] troops stationed in Bangladesh—this is just an estimate, the exact figure unknown.

However, some recent news shows that around the beginning of last year, the Mughal Emperor Akbar began to withdraw troops from Bengal, taking away 2 to [-] people.If all are calculated according to the maximum scale, then there were [-] "official troops" in Bangladesh before, and after [-] were taken away, there are now [-]. "

Gao Wuzheng frowned, and said in a puzzled way: "If there are only 3 people, then I don't even think this matter needs to be discussed in detail, just let Yuan'er and the Secretary-General at the front line solve it.

Yuan'er can now mobilize sufficient troops. Apart from the Nanyang Fleet at sea who will definitely help, there are more than 6 garrison troops in southern Xinjiang that he can mobilize.Although these many troops certainly cannot be transferred away, it should be easy for him to mobilize [-] or [-] people, right?

In this way, Yuan'er's troops are almost twice as strong as the enemy's, and in terms of ordnance, training, etc., he must at least not be weaker than the opponent.

On the other hand, if Daniel knows our strength, I always feel that it is hard to say whether he dares to send troops.Even if we send out troops, I'm afraid that we must first ask the Mughal court for a support army, and this will delay a lot of time..."

At this time Gao Qi suddenly interjected, "I'm afraid the Mughal court will not support him."

"Oh? Why?" Gao Wuzheng asked in surprise.

"It was reported not long ago that at the beginning of the year, the Mughal emperor Akbar had personally led an army to conquer the Deccan states." Gao Qi spread his hands and said, "The main force of the Mughal army should be with him now, the center of the Mughal court. There may not be many mobile troops left that can be mobilized.

Considering that they were originally a foreign court in India, just like the Han Dynasty in the former Yuan Dynasty, it is common for them to rebel everywhere.While Akbar should have left an army behind for a possible counterinsurgency, it is unlikely that this army will be transferred to Bengal for another conquest.

Oh, by the way, and one more thing in the meantime.Previously, Uncle Six told us to try to contact Akbar's eldest son Salim, and this matter has already achieved initial results.

This person is a staunch supporter of the sect and opposes his father Akbar's sect reconciliation policy, so the relationship between father and son is very tense.This time when Akbar went south, he thought he should be left in the rear, but in fact Akbar did not give him any real power, making him do nothing in the rear, and then he harbored resentment..."

Gao Qi paused for a while, and said: "Although he was not willing to make any promises when we contacted him, according to the report, this person should not object to joining forces with us to deal with his father Akbar - provided that , we only want Bengal at most, but he wants the entire Mughal Empire except Bengal.

Of course, in the final analysis, what Salim wants is to replace Akbar, re-establish the authority of their Mughal sect, trample Hinduism underfoot, and force Hindus to convert. "

Gao Wuzheng cursed in a low voice: "I really don't understand these people. If you want to fight for the throne, just fight for the throne. Why do you have to have anything to do with sects? You're full."
