Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1400 Mutiny

When the expeditionary army arrived in Plassey Village, the internal strife in Plassey Village continued. The Bengal army and the imperial army fought fiercely in Plassey Village, completely ignoring the arrival of the expeditionary army.

"This Kasim is really impatient. I didn't expect that he couldn't wait to annex the Mughal emperor's troops before we did it. This is good, we just need to watch the show." Qin Zuoming saw When the opponent suddenly broke out in internal strife, he knew that Kasim's reason had completely lost to desire.

The expeditionary force seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with the Bangladesh army. Qin Zuoming knew that the East India Company needed Qasim as a puppet, so he was happy to see Qasim and the Mughal emperor turn against each other.

After Qin Zuoming and others rebuilt their positions and started to set up a stove to cook, the infighting in Praxi Village gradually stopped. The army loyal to the emperor fled to other places, and the rest were the Bengal army who had betrayed the Mughal Empire and them. captive.In a sense Qasim annexed part of the Mughal emperor's forces.

"Their infighting seems to be coming to an end. I wonder if Qasim or Shah Jahan won?" Qin Zuoming held a bowl of fragrant rice and squatted on a high ground outside the village to watch Praxi's infighting. .

"It's probably the army of Bangladesh. After all, they have been standing still before, and they have not lost a single soldier in the battle with us. More importantly, their organization is not chaotic, like the Mughal emperor's army. Too much is not enough." Wu Yi was also grilling rice.

From marching in the rain yesterday, building a position and then fighting for most of the day during the day, they may have overdrawn their physical strength, and they are taking advantage of the rare opportunity to rest. It is very lucky to be able to eat a mouthful of hot rice .

Of course, the Mughal army on the opposite side was even worse, and they haven't been able to eat a bite yet.

The Tubang mercenaries also gathered around the iron pot with relish, and each of them had a wooden bowl in their luggage, but these Tubang mercenaries didn't like to use chopsticks, but directly ate the rice with their hands.

They are the lowest level people in Bangladesh. Before joining the East India Company as mercenaries, they lived without a meal, but after becoming mercenaries, they can have enough rice to fill their stomachs.They would also bring food such as pancakes with them during battles. Under normal circumstances, they would not be hungry.

This time they defeated the empire's 7 army at a slight cost, which was something that mercenaries from lower castes could not even dream of.

"Sir, why was the emperor defeated so easily?" Ah San walked over with a wooden bowl, and stuffed rice into her mouth with her hand.

"You think the emperor is not human?" Qin Zuoming said.

"Hey, we low-caste people are looked down upon, let alone the emperor. We are considered dirty people, and this kind of dirtyness can be transmitted to others through contact. We have to walk away from ordinary villagers." Ah San gobbled it up while complaining, "Now I can have something to eat, and I don't have to be hidden like a plague god, if only you came earlier..."

Qin Zuoming, Wu Yi, Chen Bangyan and others looked at each other, and listened helplessly to Ah San and the others complaining.

In the Indian peninsula, there are quite a few people of lower castes like Asan, and the existence of these people provided the East India Company with a large number of cheap soldiers.And it's easy to win them over, you just need to give them a little favor, listen to their grievances, and make them feel like they're one of them.

The fighting in Plassey Village lasted until 6 pm, and the sky turned yellow before it was completely over.

After temporarily controlling the situation, the Governor of Bangladesh, Kasim, personally went to the expeditionary army's barracks to see the officers of the expeditionary army.

This is a sad thing to say. If he wants to become the king of Bengal and raise the flag of rebellion against the Mughal Empire, he still needs the support of this group of officers from outside the sea.

The expeditionary force of more than 3000 people is just north of Plassey Village. Their firearms have not been affected by the heavy rain, and they can easily defeat the Bangladeshi army currently gathered in Plassey Village.

"Governor of Bengal, Kasim." Kasim met several main commanders of this expeditionary force, the oldest of whom was only in his early 30s.

"Governor Kasim, it seems that you have chosen to stand on the same front as us. The East India Company will have further cooperation with you in the future." Qin Zuoming said to him.

"You will really support me to become the king of Bengal, right?" Kasim asked cautiously.

"Of course it's true. We pay attention to the spirit of contract. As long as the war is over and we sign a trade treaty, then we will fight against the Mughal Empire with you. You and your descendants will be the kings of Bengal." Qin Zuoming Said.

Kasim's expression softened when he heard this. He was most afraid that the East India Company would turn its face and deny people, and that his situation would be worse.

"Have you captured the Mughal emperor?" Qin Zuoming asked.

Kasim shook his head: "In the chaos, he was escorted out of here by the well-equipped guards, but we captured their second prince Shashuja. He is the deputy king of Bengal and my boss. I I plan to hand him over to you."

The three main commanders, Qin Zuoming, Wu Yi, and Chen Bangyan, looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Kasim wanted to hand over the hot potato, the second prince, to them!

The emperor of the Mughal Empire was Kasim's former master, and the second prince Shashuja was his former boss. No matter how Kasim dealt with Shashuja, it would be something that would make him infamy. This is probably the reason. Sent to the East India Company for disposal.

However, the East India Company is not afraid of imprisoning the second prince of Mughal, anyway, the two sides have already torn their faces.

"It's better to temporarily put him under house arrest in your city of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and let you guard it. If anything happens, we will take care of it. You can use this card to threaten Shah Jahan." Qin Zuoming thought for a while, and kicked the ball Return to Kasim.

"If you are willing to resist the offensive of the empire with me and consolidate my position in Bangladesh, then I will imprison him in Dhaka." Kasim said.

"It's natural. I think the Mughal Emperor has suffered such a big defeat. The Persians in the northwest and other small countries in the Deccan Plateau in the south will be ready to move. He will not be able to organize troops to enter Bangladesh again in a short time. You can rest assured that you will be your Bengal. King, we will provide you with reinforcements when necessary..." Qin Zuoming said.

"That's really great!" Kasim's eyes lit up, it seemed that he really wanted to become the king of an independent kingdom from a local governor!
