Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1244 Disposal of the Queen
"According to the estimates of the East India Company, the Mughal Empire has an army of 40, including a large number of cavalry and elephant soldiers. It is in the rising period of the empire. We should adopt a strategy of gradually encroaching. At present, the Nanyang Fleet has four sailing ships in Su Lat and nearby sea activities..."

After the meeting of the six departments, Chu Yun will attend the meeting of the military department again.

There is no calm on the surface of the empire, and the military is raging in all directions.

An infantry brigade and a heavy artillery battalion were stationed in the Eastern Province, and the Siberian Pioneering Regiment was reclaiming Siberia. The Western Region bordered Tsarist Russia, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Mughal Empire, and adopted a defensive strategy.On the Nanyang side, the No.12 Corps was divided into groups and fought in the Indochina Peninsula, Java Island, Sumatra Island, and the Malay Peninsula.

In addition to taking military actions on the mainland, there are also the Fourth Fleet and the Far West Expedition to Europe, and the Indian Ocean formation and small-scale army to the Mughal Empire.

At the monthly meeting of the military department, relevant personnel will report the current situation, battle reports, and personnel transfers of each corps.

"The team sent to the Mughal Empire disguised themselves as guards as much as possible, so as not to anger the emperor of the Mughal Empire. We are now busy with the internal construction of the empire, and there is no need to start a war with an empire with a population of hundreds of millions for the Indian market." Chu Yun There is no redundant opinion on sending a team to the Mughal Empire, just remind them to keep a low profile.

It wasn't that Chu Yun didn't dare to confront the Mughal Empire, which had a weak navy, but that he didn't have the money to open up a new front.

In the early days of industry, almost all factories were starving for food and investment.

Coupled with the fact that the wave of railway construction has just begun to spread to the south, it is also a black hole that absorbs a lot of money.

There are also more than a dozen university halls, hundreds of middle schools and countless elementary schools funded by the government.Just the University of the Capital University invests several 10 taels of silver in it every year to cultivate talents.

In order to build a great empire, Chu Yun has tried his best to find ways to get funds to invest in various fields, and has also specially organized people to go to North America and Oceania to find gold mines.

In fact, Chu Yun wants the government to build the national railways and roads by itself. The reason why private capital is allowed to enter the basic transportation field with restrictions is because the government can't spend so much money...

The land of China is too vast, even if it is to build a railway artery from south to north, it is impossible to do it without more than ten years of time and financial investment.

At present, Chu Yun's military focus is on Europe. As for the Mughal Empire, it will be eroded by the Indian Ocean formation sent by the East India Company and the Nanyang Fleet.

The so-called encroachment means occupying the local market step by step, first blocking it by sea, and then expanding its influence to the mainland.

In addition to reports on sending teams to the Mughal Empire and training mercenaries in India at the military meeting, there were also counter-insurgency battle reports from various places.

For Chu Yun, this was a fairly normal meeting, and the biggest thing was to secretly send [-] soldiers to India.

Until later, a staff officer reported: "The No.12 Corps escorted Queen Alan, who was captured by them in the Battle of Sumatra, to Beijing, saying that they wanted the military leader to deal with her."

Chu Yun's expression was a little strange after hearing this.

Now it's not a tribal war, escorting a woman to the capital, is this asking for a reward from myself?

"Regarding the victory of the No.12 Corps in the battle against Aceh in Sumatra and assisting the drilling team in finding oil fields, has the commendation order from our military department been conveyed?" Chu Yun asked.

"Preparing to issue it." A military official replied.

"The Queen of Aceh... Didn't the previous report claim that since the king was executed by the No.12 Corps, the Aceh Kingdom has been torn apart, and the power has fallen into the hands of twelve nobles?" Chu Yun vaguely remembered the No.12 Corps before Huang Degong, head of the corps, introduced the situation of the Aceh Sultanate in the battle report.

In fact, the Sultanate of Aceh can be regarded as a powerful indigenous kingdom, with a batch of firearms eliminated by the Ottoman Empire, it just depends on who their opponents are.

"If the other side's queen is useless, what does the military lord mean to execute her?" an official asked.

"That's not enough..." Chu Yun was not so mad that he would kill someone if he caught him. "The other party is the queen of a country. If she is used well, she can use her name to win people's hearts in Sumatra and let the local of people work on our plantations.”

"So the military lord wants to support her as our puppet in Nanyang?" Almost all the military staff are smart people, and it is easy to guess Chu Yun's plan.

"Twelve nobles are arbitrary and dictatorial. They framed their queen, and the queen was taken in by us. With our help, she returned to Aceh and led all the people of Aceh to accept the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Province. What do you think of this story? ?” Chu Yun said.

"Wonderful, then in this way, the nobles of Aceh will become the initiators of the war, and we who took in the queen will be on the side of justice. When the queen returns to Aceh, the local subjects can justify their actions The land becomes the people under the rule of the Nanyang Province." The officials of the military department said one after another.

"The job of brainwashing will be handed over to the Imperial University, and she must be assimilated into one of our people. Since the No.12 Corps has brought her to the capital, let her come to the Military Lord's Mansion. I can smoke It's time to meet her." Chu Yun thought for a while, and the No.12 Corps took the initiative to offer up the prisoners of war.

"However, if there are similar 'trophies' in the future, they need to be reported first, and they can't be brought to the capital without permission to report, otherwise I won't give them face next time." Chu Yun said helplessly.

If today this regiment captures a princess, and tomorrow that regiment captures a princess, and sends them all to the capital, is it really true that Chu Yun is a romantic place?

"And ask them to bring an interpreter here, I don't understand the dialect of Sumatra." Chu Yun said again.

The Liaison Office of the No.12 Corps couldn't help being overjoyed when they learned that Chu Yun agreed to meet the captured Queen Alan.

"After the military meeting is over tomorrow, send him to the military lord's mansion, and the Portuguese who is acting as an interpreter will also go to the military lord's mansion together." The No.12 regiment arranged to meet the two people of the military lord tomorrow.

"God, I have the opportunity to meet the supreme ruler of the East!" The Portuguese who served as the translator was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news.

Few Portuguese in this era have the opportunity to meet Chu Yun!

"The ruler of the former suzerain country..." Queen Alan's beautiful eyes widened when she learned from the Portuguese population that she was escorted to the final place in the capital this time.
