Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2148 Total Baikui (卌[-]) temple calculation
Since Gao Yushi's topic of "imperial power has no eternity" was briefly mentioned by himself, and then he discussed in detail why Akbar wanted to engage in sectarian tolerance, so the three relatives of the Gao family wisely focused their attention on the matter. Focus on the status quo in India and keep in line with the Patriarch.

This time, Gao Guoyan interjected in a rare way: "I remember when the Secretary-General was still there a few days ago, the Secretariat gave me a statement, which roughly explained the current financial system of the Mughal Empire in India... With all due respect, these Mongols have hardly made any progress for hundreds of years."

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Gao Yushi has been very busy recently, but he didn't know that Liu Xin had sent Gao Guoyan a statement about the financial system of the Mughal Empire when Liu Xin was there.But he is not surprised, because the stalls are too big now, and he can't do many things by himself.

For example, if the secretariat sends a report to Gao Guoyan, as long as the secretariat thinks that the problem is related to finance, it will send a report to Gao Guoyan, who is in charge of Jinghua's finance, without notifying Gao Wushi himself .Unless the Secretariat considers this to be a comprehensive issue of high importance, then it needs to be reported to Gao for pragmatic decision.

As soon as Gao Guoyan heard Gao Yushi's words, he understood that this message was sent to him alone to understand the situation in India, but Gao Yushi didn't know about it.Therefore, Gao Guoyan simply explained: "That piece of Chen roughly talked about some collected information, among which there are a few that I have a deep impression on.

For example, intelligence from the Ministry of the Interior and the Secretariat showed that although Akbar had a large army, there was no logistical organization.When the army is marching, mobile workshops and shops will follow the barracks, and the supplies of the army are provided by these huge markets that follow the army. "

Gao Wushi was taken aback, and frowned, "Is the news true?"

Gao Guoyan couldn't answer this question, so he turned to look at Gao Qi.Gao Qi immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, fourth uncle, the news is true. These news are obtained by our secret agents among the Nanyang merchants. They have been traveling in Nanyang as merchants all year round. In recent years, they have been sent to India. Moreover, they went deep into the inland of India to inquire about a lot of news.

According to Fourth Uncle's previous request, these news did not come from a single source, but were confirmed by the Secretariat after several pieces of news were confirmed with each other, so we can completely believe that it is accurate. "

"Very good, you have done a good job." Gao Wushi praised first, and then thought about it: "If this is the case, it can be seen that since the army of Mongolian descendants entered India, they have quickly become Indianized. In other words, although they are now It is still in the expansion period, but the actual combat effectiveness must have declined.”

None of the three of them knew what Gao Yushi meant by the so-called Indianization of the Mongolian army, and why "the actual combat effectiveness must have declined" once it was Indianized, but in any case, his reaction meant that he basically agreed with Gao Guoyan. View.Of course, the focus of the two is obviously still different.

Gao Guoyan said: "Although I don't understand military affairs, one thing can be imagined, that is, this kind of army goes to war, at least it can't achieve the speed of soldiers, and can only push all the way."

Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a light smile, "Actually, I like pushing all the way."

When he said this, Gao Guoyan couldn't help being a little speechless.Fortunately, Gao Wushi laughed, and added: "However, there is a prerequisite for flat push all the way, that is-our side is crushingly superior to the enemy in terms of military strength and logistical support.

In this case, flat pushing all the way is the safest way to play. It is essentially to force the opponent to fight and consume himself, and relying on his strong national strength, he can naturally win the battle without any suspense. "

Gao Guoyan nodded and said: "You mean, the Mughals now have a crushing strength advantage against other small countries in India, so they abandoned the original style of play of the Mongols and began to rely on their national strength to equalize Pushed?"

"Of course. That's why Akbar wants to integrate sects—otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of the power that this new empire could have provided him."

Gao Wushi nodded in agreement, but quickly smiled and said, "But on the other hand, if Akbar has gotten used to this combat method, but forgets the Mongolian warfare method of his grandfather's time, then it will be a big deal for us. Congratulations."

"Why?" Gao Guoyan was a little puzzled: "Didn't you just say that you also like to push all the way? If you push all the way, it means that we will fight from southern Xinjiang to India. From the perspective of logistics, this is far away. It’s not as beneficial as fighting in their homeland.”

It is true that fighting is not Gao Guoyan's major, but he has been in charge of finances over the years. He knows how much money Jinghua has spent in previous battles, and the financial and logistical pressures he has endured in each battle. Consider logistically.

But Gao Wushi just smiled, as if he didn't intend to answer this question himself, instead he turned his attention to Huang Zhiting who hadn't spoken for a long time.

Huang Zhiting felt the high-practical gaze, and knew that the master wanted to answer by herself, so she smiled slightly and said: "Third Uncle doesn't know, the master's command of the army can be said to be nine points, one point odd, if the master is to command this For a battle, it would probably take a long time to prepare in southern Xinjiang, and then overwhelmingly overwhelm Akbar, forcing Akbar to personally lead the main force of the army to a decisive battle somewhere in the Ganges Plain, and then the battle will determine the outcome.

However, the person directing this battle is not the master, but the secretary-general.The Secretary-General’s two most famous battles in the early years must have been remembered by Uncle Sanbo: One time, when I led the army to fight against Narisuan, the Secretary-General suddenly led a surprise army to the rear of the Narisuan Department, and she and I attacked back and forth. The radicals could not look after each other, so the soldiers were defeated and killed, and Siam was settled.

Another time, she sent troops to the east of Siam to counter the rebellion. She first made a move to go south, but with the help of the Nanyang Fleet, she went straight to the east of Siam by sea.

It can be seen that the Secretary-General's use of troops is different from that of the master. She prefers to use speed and terrain to attack the enemy's main force suddenly to break the enemy.Therefore, if Akbar...or if the army of the Mughal Empire is marching in such a dragging manner, then to the Secretary-General, I am afraid that it is full of loopholes, and it is suitable for her to show her strengths. "

"Oh, so that's the case..." Gao Guoyan nodded again and again, and then happily said: "If this is the case, I will be much more relaxed. I hope Yuan'er and the Secretary-General can save me some time this time, hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.After Gao Wushi laughed, he said, "Don't think so far ahead. Didn't you just say that Akbar went to the Deccan Plateau to march south, and whether Bangladesh will send troops or not is hard to say now."

These words silenced everyone, but Gao Wushi noticed that Gao Qi seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked, "Yu Fu has something to say, just say it."

"Yes, Fourth Uncle." Gao Qi replied, "Actually, if we want to get Bangladesh to send troops, we still have a way."

Gao Wushi's heart moved, thinking that Gao Qi, as an intelligence secretary, would subconsciously think of ways to bear the brunt of intelligence, then...

"You mean, give some false information to Prince Danial?" Gao Wushi asked.

"Fourth uncle is wise, and my nephew is exactly what I mean!" Seeing that Gao Yushi also thought of this, Gao Qi was immediately full of confidence, and said in high spirits: "Now we have a lot of detailed work in India, and almost all They have different formal identities, most of whom are merchants. Some of these people have become local celebrities in Bangladesh. Although they are not top-notch, they can talk to many dignitaries after all.

Since there is such a foundation, my nephew thinks it can be used.For example, we can first 'help' the Kingdom of Arakan, proving that the southern border will not stop at Arakan, but will continue to march westward and go straight to Dhaka [Note: Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh at this time ], and then occupy the entire Bangladesh region.

We can even further spread the news that the reason why southern Xinjiang wants to take over the whole of Bangladesh is because Bangladesh is located on the plain where the Ganges River flows into the sea, which is beneficial for agriculture and food.At the same time, the river network is vertical and horizontal, and it is convenient for our southern Xinjiang navy to assist in defense here.

Once Bangladesh is captured, it will be the bridgehead for us to enter India from southern Xinjiang.Using this as a base to plot India is just like the fourth uncle used Annan as a base to spy on southern Xinjiang.If the situation is unfavorable, I have food and danger, so I can guard it with peace of mind; if the situation is favorable, I have food and soldiers, so I will naturally march westward!

As such news spread, Nadaniar would feel deeply disturbed if he was still a little vigilant, and then seriously consider whether to accept Arakan's request for help, and take the initiative to send troops to Arakan to meet our army outside his jurisdiction.

At this point, my nephew thought that the only thing Daniar had to worry about was one thing: the strength of troops.To put it more clearly, he is worried that our army has too many troops, and because his father Akbaran conquered the Deccan, he must have taken away part of the Bangladeshi garrison, so he would worry about insufficient troops when he took the initiative to send troops.

But my nephew thought it would be easy to handle at this time, and the old method is to spread false news locally, saying that my troops here in southern Xinjiang are not too many..."

"Eh?" Gao Wuzheng said in surprise, "Wait a minute, Yu Fu, you just said that you want to use our army to march into Dhaka to intimidate Daniar, so that he has to consider taking the initiative to send troops abroad, and now you say you want to publicize that our army is not strong enough." Many... Isn't this contradictory? If our army is not strong, how can we be so arrogant and say that we want to march into Dhaka? If our army really wants to march into Dhaka, how can we say "we don't have many troops"?"

Gao Qi smiled and said, "Uncle Eleven, this matter is easy to handle. Our army's long-term goal is to enter Dhaka, which is no problem, but our army did not necessarily go to Dhaka from the beginning! Our' The goal may be to take down Arakan first, and then wait and see the situation. If you feel that the defense of Bengal is empty, you can mobilize a large army to seize it in one fell swoop; Baggage, ready to attack again in the coming year...doesn’t that make sense?”

Gao Wuzheng felt quite reasonable after hearing this, nodded and said: "Well, such a case... is feasible. If I were Daniar, I would have to think about it after hearing such a plan. Then, as you said, As long as you are still a little vigilant, you can't ignore it, you have to react.

Either, take the initiative to send troops, take advantage of our army in Arakan with only a small number of elites, and our foothold is not stable, go to fight first, and it is best to give Nanjiang a blow; or, then he can only play his father immediately Akbar, ask his father to stop the southern expedition immediately, and transfer the main force to Bangladesh to prepare to meet our southern Xinjiang army. "

When he said this, he paused for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Then there is only one problem now: in case this Daniar is a coward, even if you make him believe all the news, he will still believe it in the end." Decided to only give a performance to Akbar, but refused to send troops, so... what can I do?"

Gao Wushi waved his hand at this time and said, "Then we should analyze the situation Daniar is currently facing, so as to judge how he will choose when faced with these news."

Facing Gao Qi, Gao Wuzheng, who is an uncle and elder, can question him at any time, but facing Gao Wushi is different, he can only slightly bow his head and say, "Brother, please advise."

Gao Wushi said: "As far as we know, Akbar has three sons in total. The eldest son, Salim, is currently sitting in the rear; the second son, Murad, has not been revealed in the current information, but from my point of view, since he is Akbar Keba loves his son, so he should be in Akbar's southern army at this moment; the third son, Daniyar, is currently the governor of Bangladesh and is sitting in Dhaka."

After a pause, he continued: "Judging from this arrangement, Akbar has his purpose. Leaving Salim in the rear seems a bit like a prince supervising the country, but it is not the case. In fact, it cuts off the The direct connection between Lim and the generals in the army is to suppress Salem's power expansion.

The second son, Murad, was brought by his side. On the one hand, Akbar hoped that he would make military achievements and cultivate his reputation;

As for Daniar, we still don't know where he is in the matter of taking the throne-I mean, is Daniar on the side of the eldest brother Salim, or on the side of the second brother Murad On the one hand, even...he may seem to be neutral, but in fact he wants to wait for a snipe and a clam to fight for the fisherman's benefit? "

Gao Wuzheng saw that Gao Wushi would not continue at this point, so he couldn't help saying: "This situation... always reminds me of the relationship between the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji in the early Tang Dynasty. However, looking at it now, Mu La Virtue may not have the same military exploits and prestige as Li Shimin, right? As for power, I think the gap should be even greater."

Gao Qi thought about it and said, "Judging from the information we have so far, it seems that Daniar is more likely to want to choose the third possibility that fourth uncle just mentioned."

"How do you say that?" Gao Wuzheng asked immediately.

Gao Qi replied: "There is one thing to prove it: this man became the governor of Bengal, but he himself took the initiative to ask his father Akbar."

When he said this, Gao Wushi laughed and said, "Then don't worry too much. After hearing the fake news, he will definitely send troops to Arakan."
