Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 792

The compensation of 30 silver coins brought by Lagabad’s cronies was used as a payment for the purchase of military equipment. Although the silver content of Banggala silver coins is not high, they can be made into Daming silver coins after being remelted, which can also be worth 10 taels Left and right, and Daming's useless cold weapons piled up in the warehouse of the Ministry of War also came in handy, and it was a win-win situation anyway.

The fifty middle and low-level generals of the Ming Dynasty in the military observation team are all veterans who have participated in many battles. They are good at leading small teams to carry out ambushes and surprise attacks. A team of hundreds of people fought against the Mughal Empire troops who came to encircle and suppress.

In order to reduce non-combat attrition, when selecting personnel from the Yongwei Battalion, we specially selected generals who were originally from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan-Guizhou. Compared with northerners, these southern generals can adapt to the local humid and hot climate more quickly. and complex terrain.

The ranks of these 50 people were all raised by one level before leaving. After the situation in Banggela was opened and stabilized, they would give meritorious service based on their personal performance. At the same time, by the way, draw a map of the places you pass, and master various topographic and climate data for future use.

The combat strategy formulated by Chen Qiyu and others was based on Rajabad's detailed description of the local environment and some fragmented knowledge of the Mughal Empire army.

The current reigning emperor of the Mughal Empire is Shah Jahan. According to Rajabad's confidantes, this person is mediocre and has low prestige in the country, while his son Aurangzeb is ambitious and always wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. Sitting on the emperor's throne instead of his father, the relationship between father and son is now fierce, and each of them has transferred the elite imperial troops under their control to the vicinity of the capital to prevent being taken advantage of by the other party.

After studying and judging these incomplete information, Chen Qiyu and others came to the conclusion: the terrain of the area where Ge Laguo belonged to was extremely complex, with dense rivers and forests, and narrow and rugged roads, which were not suitable for large-scale battles with large numbers of people. The extreme sluggishness is also very serious, and these factors are very beneficial to Ragabad's side, greatly improving their success rate.

As long as the preliminary preparations are sufficient, and barriers and fortresses are set up in dangerous places, and then elite guards are dispatched, it will be difficult for the imperial army to break through these passes. At that time, members of the observation group can command their subordinates to harass the enemy and destroy their food roads. Then gather superior forces, and when the enemy retreats in a panic, strike with all their strength, and a big victory can be expected.

As long as the enemy's offensive is thwarted once, the prestige of the Rajabad family will naturally rise, and it will be much more calm when recruiting troops and attacking the city. At that time, it will not be difficult to implement a benevolent government and unite the hearts of the people. Ascension to the sky.

However, the process of restoring Bangla to the country should be very long. After the final success, it will have to face the suppression and attack of the Mughal Empire regime for a long time. For this reason, Ming Dynasty will also provide a series of follow-up Support, including increasing the supply of armaments, etc., does not even rule out sending officers and troops to the Bangkala area to deal a strong blow to the aggression of the Mughal Empire army.

Daming is a peace-loving country, but it is also a country that dares to uphold justice. The Ming court will spare no effort to support any region and people’s spontaneous justice for freedom and democracy. China's behavior is severely condemned, and firmly supports the Bangla people's movement to restore the country.

On behalf of his family, Lagabad's cronies signed and printed the agreement drafted by Daming.

This middle-aged man named Wangbigad is also a member of the Lagabad family. Although their wish of the Ming army to send troops directly this time did not come true, this batch of armaments is also an item they urgently need.

After witnessing the power of this batch of armaments at the armory supervisory field, Wanbigarde and his entourage were overjoyed. Compared with these incomparably sharp Ming armaments, the spears, machetes, and soft bows they made privately were just as noisy. It's the same as playing, with such excellent military equipment, coupled with the guidance and training of the Ming generals, maybe in three to five years, my generation will be able to restore the glory of their ancestors.

Wang Bijiade also signed and approved the new vassal state regulations of Ming Dynasty. He knew in his heart that this was the meaning of the title. If he did not sign this agreement, there would be no other assistance from Shangguo.

Half a month after the signing of various agreements, three gunboats of the South China Sea Fleet, loaded with armaments aided by Ming Dynasty and [-] members of the observation team, together with Wang Bigard and others, left Tianjin Port and sailed south to Nua Kali. , the Rajabad family's dream of restoring the country officially began, and correspondingly, the nightmare of the Asan's is gradually approaching.

In order to create a Greater Asia covered by Confucian civilization, and to allow the people in this circle to live a better life, targeted advance layout is necessary. The South Asian subcontinent is a rich land rich in grain, cotton, raw silk, dyes, and tobacco. Don't let those Brahmins and Kshatriyas ruin such a good land.

Not long after the envoys of Banggela returned with a full load, as expected by Zhu Youjian, the officials of the Honglu Temple who went to Jiaozhi returned angrily: the Zheng family who controlled the northern area of ​​the Jiaozhi Kingdom did not accept the regulations of the new vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and did not agree The envoys of the Ming Dynasty crossed the area under its control to the southern region, but in desperation, the officials who were envoys to Jiaozhi had to return without success.

After hearing the news, Zhu Youjian once again summoned the cabinet ministers to the palace to discuss how to deal with Jiaozhi Zheng's unreasonable behavior. As a result, the cabinet ministers had different opinions on this matter and did not reach an agreement.

Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu believed that Zheng's behavior of ignoring the Ming court should be severely punished, and soldiers should be sent to Jiaozhi from Yunnan to uproot the Zheng family to warn many small people, otherwise the reputation of Ming Dynasty will be greatly damaged. damage.

However, Li Banghua, Hou Xun, Fan Jingwen and others believed that when Chengzu conquered Jiaozhi several times, although it was eventually incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the results proved that the expedition that mobilized many troops and cost countless money and food was really not worth the candle, especially in the northern area of ​​Jiaozhi, where Congshan The dense forests and the dangerous environment make it unnecessary to send large troops to conquer them.

Didn't the Holy One say something about economic blockade?Then order Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to ban all contact with Jiaozhi from now on.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of the situation in Ming Dynasty, there is also a market for the products produced in Jiaozhi Kingdom in Daming, which also allows the Zheng family to benefit a lot from it, and its strength has gradually grown. The Zheng family has taken this opportunity to recruit troops, and now feels full of confidence , so he had the heart to fight against the Ming court.

As long as Daming cuts off its economic ties with it, it won't take many years for the Zheng family, which lacks financial resources, to decline. At that time, they will have to obediently ask for a surrender and let Daming decide?

Sun Chuanting originally intended to agree with Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu's strategy of sending troops, but as the chief assistant, he was no longer a simple military leader. When encountering such a national event that affects the lives of thousands of people, he must consider the overall situation. Otherwise, the chief assistant would have been too reckless, and what Li Banghua and others said was correct, so he never expressed his support for which side.

　Thanks to Lan Shuyue for the reward.
