The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 818 Zhu Hongyu's Flexible Faith
During the fierce fighting, people shouted and neighed endlessly.
More and more soldiers of the Eight Banners entered the battlefield. They charged forward roaring, and it didn't take long for them to completely disperse the cavalry of the Mughal Empire who appeared on the battlefield.
It's not that the Mughal Empire didn't have elite cavalry, but the real elite cavalry of the Mughal Empire are now seeing back and forth on the Ganges Plain with Guan Ning's cavalry who entered the Khyber Pass.
The Mughal Empire is also very tense now.
It is impossible to send countless fine cavalry to the battlefield in Burma!
The Mughal Empire cavalry that now appear on the Burmese battlefield are basically second- and third-rate goods in the entire Mughal Empire.
It is impossible to be the opponent of the Eight Banners Cavalry!
After Nalan Mingzhu commanded the Eight Banners cavalry to come out of the formation, they quickly completed a U-turn, then adjusted the formation, and prepared to charge again.
This time, they did not adopt the traditional oriental cavalry charge array, but formed several rows of extremely dense wall cavalry arrays, advancing in a uniform manner.
During the action, there is quite a bit of the demeanor of the wall cavalry tactics used by Daming!
People and people, horses and horses are very closely arranged.
A famous cavalry formed a cavalry wall and kept advancing.
Facts have proved that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army can also learn.
The former Houjin suffered a great loss in front of the firearms of the Ming army, so Huang Taiji actively absorbed the surrender of the Ming army and formed the Wuzhenchaoha Heavy Artillery Battalion.
The Manchus once suffered a great loss before the Ming army's queuing up and shooting and bayonet charge. Now the tactics of the Manchu Qing army have also become queuing up and shooting and bayonet charge.
Since the cavalry of the Manchu and Qing dynasties suffered a great loss in front of the wall cavalry tactics of the Ming army when they charged forward on the battlefield, they would naturally learn from it.
Judging from the current situation, they seem to be studying well, and their quality is quite good.
And behind these Manchu and Qing cavalry, those who entered the battlefield immediately were those sentry cavalry of the Ming army who had just been forced to withdraw from the battlefield after the vanguard was defeated.
These sentry cavalry of the Ming army also came on horseback, holding sabers and strong bows, ready to vent the depression accumulated in their hearts after the defeat just now.
If we talk about the first confrontation between the two sides, the Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a comb, simply combing the cavalry of the Mughal Empire.
Then, in this second hedge, the wall-style assault array formed by the Manchu and Qing cavalry is like a comb used for combing hair.
The closer the queues are arranged, the more lethal effects they can form will naturally increase greatly.
Only a moment of effort, the outcome will be divided.
The oncoming Mughal Empire cavalry were quickly dispersed and fled everywhere.
Seeing this scene, these Eight Banners soldiers also began to chase after the victory.
Their wall cavalry array instantly dispersed, replaced by a team of three or five fine cavalry scattered.
These Eight Banners cavalry rushed on the battlefield recklessly, and saved the defeat just now in the blink of an eye.
The Burmese infantry who were chasing and killing the defeated coalition forces suffered a catastrophe!
Although the elephants controlled by those elephant soldiers were huge, they were actually too cumbersome. These Eight Banners cavalry used the tactics of roaming and harassment, and those elephant soldiers had almost no ability to fight back.
When the musket shot at close range, the bullets left big holes in the elephant's body.
Blood spurted out from the wound, and the elephant ran wildly after suffering the pain and wanted to withdraw from the battlefield.
The Burmese army on the elephant's back was also thrown off by the elephant, and their heads were beheaded by the Eight Banners cavalry who rushed over.
At this time, the battle on the battlefield is almost a one-sided massacre.
Those Burmese troops who were still aggressively chasing and killing the defeated coalition forces now also feel the feeling of being defeated like a mountain.
……
Liu Shantai received the battle report from Nalan Mingzhu from the front line, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Hahaha!"
"That's right, that's right, Nalan Pearl's defeat of the enemy this time has greatly increased the prestige of our coalition forces!"
After Liu Shantai learned that Mori Saburo and Shang Yingjie both died on the battlefield, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, if these two people did not die on the battlefield, but escaped back, how to deal with these two guys would become the biggest problem before Liu Shantai.
Based on the mysterious operations of these two people on the battlefield, coupled with the responsibility for this defeat, according to the military law of Ming Dynasty, there is a high probability that they will be pulled out and shot.
However, due to their special status, they were all sent by the vassal state.
It is definitely inappropriate for Daming to kill people without saying anything.
At that time, Liu Shantai will be in trouble.
Kill it, it's not suitable!
Don't kill it, it's hard to explain in military law!
Moreover, he could not disclose the matter to the emperor.
If it was up to the emperor to make a decision, then he, Liu Shantai, could indeed pick it out without taking any responsibility.
However, if everything has to trouble the emperor, what are these courtiers doing?
As the saying goes, when the emperor has something to do, the courtiers will do their best!
But there is no reason for the emperor to obey his work when his ministers have something to do.
Now, both of these two died on the battlefield, but it saved Liu Shantai from worrying about how to deal with them.
Just appease the rout soldiers who fled back.
It's not difficult!
……
At the same time, the Burmese king Mangbai, who personally visited Ren'an Qiang, also received the news from the front that his vanguard soldiers and horses had won first and then lost after encountering the vanguard of the Ming army.
After hearing the news, Mangbai's face was not very good-looking!
Facing the menacing coalition forces, although the Burmese army was not helpless to fight back, they were almost being beaten unilaterally.
After finally winning a game, Mangbai originally thought that he would take advantage of this incident to boost the low morale of his own army.
I really didn't expect that this battle turned into a muddled battle of winning first and then losing!
Mangbai's plan was completely in vain.
Thinking about these messy things, Mangbai exhaled heavily, and then spoke.
"Pass down the order and let the army prepare for battle!"
"No matter what, the enemy must be blocked in Ren'an Qiang, otherwise, Myanmar will really be over."
In order to be able to win this decisive battle in Ren'an Qiang, Mangbai gathered almost all the elites at hand in Ren'an Qiang.
There are the imperial guards of the Burmese royal family; there is a new army formed by Mangbai imitating the Lighting Army and then hiring foreign instructors; there are troops borrowed from the chiefs and warlords of the big tribes under the rule of Burma; Hired mercenaries, cavalry borrowed from the Mughal Empire...
The total number has already approached 20, which is quite huge.
This is a real heavy army group!
And this heavy army group is also where Mangbai's confidence lies in wanting to fight the coalition forces in Ren'an Qiang.
……
In a military tent, Rorschach, a military instructor from France, was soaking his feet.
Enjoying the feeling of soaking his feet in the scalding hot water little by little, Rorschach narrowed his small eyes very much.
Since coming to the east, Rorschach has been attracted by the mysterious oriental culture.
I fell in love with drinking hot water, soaking my feet, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, and my living habits are rapidly changing towards an oriental person.
This is the influence of oriental culture in this era!
Facts have proved that as long as your fist is strong enough, your culture is an advanced culture that the whole world is eager to learn from.
While Rorschach was enjoying the feeling of soaking his feet, there was a commotion outside his big tent, and a Burmese soldier came in to report after a while.
"Your Excellency Rorschach, Mr. Charles and Mr. Pedro are out to see you!"
The Burmese soldier reported to Rorschach in Chinese.
Luo Xia heard the words, nodded and said.
"Okay, let them in!"
When Luo Xia answered, he also used Chinese.
Whether they want to admit it or not, Chinese is the common language in the current Confucian cultural circle.
Even the high-level dignitaries in Myanmar use Chinese when they communicate with each other.
Even Myanmar's imperial court documents and history books are all written in Chinese characters.
Not long after, Charles and Pedro were brought in from the outside and brought before Rorschach.
Rorschach took his feet out of the hot water basin, and asked while wiping his feet with a towel.
"Oh, my dear Charles and Pedro, I wonder what you came to me for?"
Charles sat down at the table in the military tent, and then spoke.
"Mr. Luo Xia, do you think we can win this battle?"
Pedro also asked.
"Yes, Mr. Rorschach, can we win this battle?"
Although Myanmar has concentrated as many as 20 terrorist troops in Ren'anqiang, it is a very large and heavily armed group.
There are even some elite soldiers and horses among them!
At least, when they were in Europe, they had never seen so many troops assembled.
However, even so, as the war approached, the atmosphere in the Burmese army's Ren'anqiang camp began to gradually become dignified.
A large number of Burmese soldiers and soldiers showed worry or even fear.
It seems that the Burmese army's 20 heavy troops in Ren'anqiang cannot give them enough sense of security.
Charles, Pedro and others were in the barracks, so they naturally felt this.
Affected by the uneasy mood in the camp, they also felt worried.
Hearing this, Rorschach was relieved.
"Charles, Pedro, why do you think so?"
"What His Majesty the King of Burma possesses is a total of 20 elite soldiers capable of recruiting and fighting. How could they lose?"
"And according to the intelligence, the enemy's military strength is only around a hundred thousand."
"20 vs. [-], the advantage is mine!"
Hearing Rorschach's relief, for some reason, Charles and Pedro felt inexplicably cold in their hearts.
I feel that Rorschach's words are very unlucky!
Charles said in a complicated tone.
"The emperor of Ming Dynasty is indeed the most powerful man in the world. His prestige is really too powerful."
"With one order, all countries in the entire Far East must obey the order, and no one dares to raise objections."
"Caesar back then couldn't do that, could he?"
"In the face of such an enemy, fear is normal, not to mention those Burmese people, I feel fear and fear."
Pedro on the side heard the words, took a deep breath and said.
"Hey, yes, yes!"
"The current Daming really deserves to be the most powerful country in the world. I am even grateful that our European mainland is far away from Daming."
"Otherwise, who can be Daming's opponent?"
"This is really a terrible enemy!"
"..."
Now, they were going to stand on the opposite side of Daming, whether it was Charles or Pedro, they couldn't help but feel fear.
With one order, a multinational coalition army can be summoned. Such prestige and power are really beyond the imagination of these Westerners.
Hearing this, Rorschach comforted her.
"We are all the most faithful believers in God, I believe God will bless us!"
While speaking, Rorschach began to draw the cross on his chest, with an unusually pious attitude.
Seeing this scene, Charles and Pedro drew the cross on their chests and recited the eulogy.
……
Nanjing City, Imperial Study Room!
Zhu Hongyu received Gaoyuan Living Buddha in the imperial study and prepared to practice it for him.
After practicing, Zhu Hongyu will send someone to escort the living Buddha back to the plateau.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Hongyu chose to release the Living Buddha was not because he wanted to confess his love to Tantric Buddhism.
It was the Tantric sect represented by the living Buddha who voluntarily bowed to the imperial power.
The Ming court reached an agreement with the Tantric side, and the Ming Dynasty recognized the special status of Tantric Buddhism on the plateau, and allowed the Tantric side to spread out and preach around the world.
During this missionary process, the Ming court would provide shelter for the missionary monks of Tantric Buddhism.
The price to be paid for Tantric Buddhism is that the imperial court has to review and revise the teachings of Tantric Buddhism.
For some teachings that are harmful to society and have defamation to the court, they must be deleted.
For example, those things that use human body materials to make utensils must not be done in Tantra.
What's more, in the future, the replacement of living Buddhas in the past tantra must be reported to the imperial court for approval, and the emperor's approval is required for the reincarnation of the reincarnation.
Zhu Hongyu thought of an excuse, euphemistically calling it "drawing lots from the golden urn".
In addition, the Tantric side must fully cooperate with the policy reforms implemented by the imperial court on the plateau, including land reform, emancipation of serfs, and religious reform.
And after Daming solves the grassland issue in the future, the Tantric side will also come forward to help Daming stabilize the grassland situation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Hongyu really realized it very clearly now.
If I want to stabilize the plateau, the Western Regions, grasslands and other places, then I can't completely turn Tantrism into the opposite of myself.
Although those lamas were unable to resist Ming's swordsmanship, with their religious influence, they were able to add obstacles to the rule of Ming Dynasty and destroy the grassroots order of Ming Dynasty.
Killing with a soft knife is the deadliest!
I am the emperor, and for the people in Han, the emperor's authority is above all else, even gods need to be canonized by the emperor.
Otherwise, it is a temple of evil spirits!
However, for the minorities outside the Han area, the influence of religion is still very large.
If the imperial court wants to thoroughly implement the grassroots regime, it will inevitably have to compromise with religious forces.
Zhu Hongyu now understands that compromise is the art of politics.
And this compromise, to put it bluntly, is Zhu Hongyu's promise to protect Tantric Buddhism to the world in exchange for Tantric Buddhism's surrender to Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, when it comes to preaching abroad, Zhu Hongyu originally liked Taoism very much.
After all, Taoism is China's native religion, so naturally Zhu Hongyu should pay more attention to it.
But there is no other way, the Daoists lie flat!
The faces of those Daoists seem to be covered with the words "Believe in love, get out if you don't believe in it", "Mortals crawl away, Daoist wants to cultivate immortals", what else can Zhu Hongyu do?
Count on these guys to preach abroad?
Zhu Hongyu felt that there was no hope!
Then, the only choice before Zhu Hongyu was Buddhism.
After all, he can't count on the Jesus religion and the Green religion, can he?
Needless to say about Chinese Buddhism, Zhu Hongyu will definitely support this little brother who has been taught to be good by the ancestors.
With the policy support of the imperial court, a large number of bald monks went to Nanyang, North Korea, plateau, Siberia and other places to carry out missionary activities.
Provide assistance to the imperial court to stabilize the place!
Even the expedition fleet to the New World was accompanied by several great monks.
Of course, Taoism also has supportive policies for Buddhism from the imperial court.
It's just that the Daoists don't care much about preaching, and just follow the fate.
For Zhu Hongyu, Chinese Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism are both Buddhism.
There is a difference between the two, but Zhu Hongyu doesn't care.
Because the so-called teachings can be changed.
As long as the Tantric side is willing to accept the leadership of the imperial court, Zhu Hongyu naturally does not mind supporting his missionary work abroad.
It is better to let the lamas of Tantric Buddhism preach and seize the right to speak in the world than to watch the missionaries of the Jesus religion preach and seize the right to speak in the world, while Daming remains indifferent.
"This time when we return to the plateau, the poor monk will let the Tantric sect go all out to fully cooperate with the implementation of the imperial government's policies. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The Living Buddha said very respectfully in front of Zhu Hongyu.
The attitude is very good.
Zhu Hongyu picked up his wine glass and took a sip, then spoke.
"This time, the Tantric side can wake up and choose to accept the leadership of the imperial court. I am very relieved."
"I want to come to the Burmese coalition army organized by the imperial court to achieve results soon and present a victory for me."
"At that time, the Tantric side can send monks to assist the court to control the place and stabilize people's hearts after the imperial army has occupied Myanmar."
"The imperial court will provide security guarantees for monks entering Myanmar!"
Zhu Hongyu's meaning is very clear, since you are acquainted, then I will not be stingy with you.
Promise to allow you to preach abroad, then I will do what I say.
Myanmar is Zhu Hongyu's first sweetness for Tantra.
After the Living Buddha returned to the plateau, if Zhu Hongyu was satisfied with Tantrism's subsequent performance, Zhu Hongyu would naturally not mind giving them more sweetness.
But if they dare to treat Zhu Hongyu positively and negatively, then I'm sorry, if the three martial arts and one sect can destroy Buddha, so can Zhu Hongyu.
The big deal is to kill a blood flow into a river!
Hearing this, the Living Buddha got up from his seat and bowed down to worship.
"The poor monk replaced the tantric sect, thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"
"When the poor monk returns to the plateau, he will definitely pray and chant sutras for His Majesty day and night in front of the Buddha. I hope that His Majesty can live forever and have blessings and prosperity."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and spoke.
"Haha, there is no need to be too polite, let the living Buddha live in peace!"
"I also believe in Buddhism."
Hearing this, the Living Buddha smiled and felt mmp.
Do you believe in Buddhism?
I believe you asshole!
He didn't see any appearance of believing in Buddhism from Zhu Hongyu...
However, in fact, Zhu Hongyu did not lie. He did believe in Buddhism, but his beliefs were more complicated. He believed in not only Buddha but also other things.
In addition to believing in Buddhism, he also believes in God, Confucius, ancestors, and science...
If Daming can rule Central Asia and even West Asia in the future, it is not impossible for him to add an Allah to his belief.
If Ming can rule Europe, you can add another God.
No problem!
As a Chinese emperor, Zhu Hongyu, like his ancestors, has a very flexible bottom line of belief.
He will trust whoever is useful to him!
After practicing the banquet, the Living Buddha chose to bid farewell to Zhu Hongyu and leave.
On the other hand, Zhu Hongyu ordered people to form a team to escort the Living Buddha back to the plateau.
……
In the house where the Daming Royal Song and Dance Troupe was hung, the Living Buddha bid farewell to the servants beside Zhu Hongyusheng who came to see him off, uttered the Buddha's name, turned and returned to the house.
In the courtyard, Dayan Khan and Burni were playing chess under the shade of a tree.
It's just that if you get closer, you will find that they are not playing Go, but just backgammon.
The climate in Nanjing is cold and humid in winter. It is a very enjoyable thing to bask in the sun in the yard after lunch.
Burni was thinking about playing chess, touching his double chin with one hand, and holding the chess piece with the other, with a relaxed expression.
Compared with before, he is now much fatter. He has been pampered and pampered in Nanjing for such a long time, and he knows that Zhu Hongyu will not do anything to him.
Open minded and naturally fat!
Burni's figure quickly swelled up like popping a balloon.
Anyway, he usually has nothing to do, and eating has almost become his only hobby.
The same is true for Dayan Khan on the side. Compared with the original, his figure is much bloated.
Seeing the Living Buddha coming back, Dayan Khan raised his head and asked.
"The Living Buddha is back?"
"How is the situation? What does His Majesty say?"
The Living Buddha announced a Buddha's name with one hand, and then spoke.
"His Majesty agrees that the poor monk will return to the plateau!"
"I also let go of the preaching of Tantric Buddhism, but from now on, the living Buddha can only be reincarnated according to the order."
When Dayan Khan heard this, the expression on his face was complicated.
What he once wanted to do but didn't dare to do, was easily done by Zhu Hongyu.
Moreover, the Living Buddha is allowed to return to the plateau now, but Dayan Khan probably has no hope in his life.
No matter how big-hearted Zhu Hongyu was, he wouldn't let him, who had been a profuse sweater, back to the plateau and return the tiger to the mountain.
However, in the end Dayan Khan nodded slightly and spoke.
"In that case, congratulations to the Living Buddha!"
Hearing the words, the Living Buddha opened his mouth to wish.
"I believe that in the future, Da Khan will definitely get what he wants!"
Dayan Khan shook his head when he heard the words.
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about what's there and what's not. For the rest of my life, I'll just play chess with Burni in Nanjing City."
Dayan Khan has accepted his fate now, and no longer hopes that he will be released back to the plateau in the future.
Burni on the side heard the words and said.
"Happy here, don't miss Sichuan!"
Dayan Khan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"It's the extreme, it's the extreme. I'm happy here, and I don't think about Shu!"
The two of them, as kings of subjugation, did not kill them, but put them under house arrest.
They don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there are rewards during the New Year and festivals on weekdays, and no one comes to humiliate and bully them in ordinary times.
It is already considered magnanimous, and they should be content.
At the very least, their ending was much better than that of Kang Mazi in the same yard.
Thinking of Xiao Kangzi's shrill voice, Burni and Dayan Khan couldn't help shivering, it was a little scary!
The fate of An Legong, who is reluctant to think about leaving, may be the best ending for the two of them in this life.
If there are more, it is not an extravagant hope!
……
India, Khyber Pass!
After the Guan Ning army broke through the Khyber Pass and entered the hinterland of India, they began to advance with light cavalry.
Although it failed to occupy too much territory, it swept across most of the Ganges Plain with iron cavalry in just a few months.
The raids and battles after the war, as well as the massacre of cities and grass valleys after the war, allowed the Guanning Army to seize a large amount of money, food and materials.
Since Wu Sangui made up his mind to settle down in India, he did not transfer the seized money, food and materials to the Western Regions.
Instead, a pass city was quickly built with cement bricks near the Khyber Pass.
This pass city was firstly used as a forward base for the army, so that the family members of the army could have a place to rest and repair, and the army fighting ahead could have a base camp.
The second is that it can be used to hoard money, food and materials seized by the army in India.
These money, food and materials will become the most important logistical support after Wu Zhou entered India.
And this Guancheng Fortress built with cement bricks was named Xinshanguan by Wu Sangui.
And this name fully revealed Wu Sangui's ambition.
He, Wu Sangui, wants to enter India and establish his Wu family's ten thousand year old foundation.
Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he would not be able to keep the Mughal Empire, as Wu Sangui said.
Standing on the Guancheng, Wu Sangui looked at the endless Ganges plain in front of him, his eyes were full of inexplicable expressions.
It can be seen that he is very greedy for the Great Plains in front of him.
As a Han Chinese, Wu Sangui's first reaction was to see such a large plain.
"Such a large plain, how many good fields have to be reclaimed, and how many elite soldiers have to be raised!"
Now, Wu Sangui already has a preliminary strategy for India after conquering India.
The most important thing is actually Tuntian...
At this moment, a soldier ran to Wu Sangui's side and reported.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince begs to see you!"
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, and then said oh.
"Bring people here!"
After his words fell, Wu Yingxiong was brought in front of him not long after.
"My son, please see my father!"
The moment Wu Yingxiong saw Wu Sangui, he saluted very obediently.
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"Free gift!"
Wu Yingxiong straightened up, came to his father, and then reported.
"Father, I have finished what you told me!"
"This is what I calculated. The population and the amount of money and food that my Da Zhou controls now..."
While speaking, Wu Yingxiong presented a report to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui took the report and began to read it.
At present, Wu Zhou has a total population of 77, of which almost 60 are prisoners of war and slaves captured after the Guanning Army entered India.
Most of the rest are family members of Guan Ningjun.
Although the current population under Wu Zhou's rule is not large, its mobilization ability is quite good.
Needless to say, those family members, they can all be soldiers at critical moments.
And the words of those slaves need not be said. Could it be that the slave dares to refuse the master's order?
Wu Sangui continued to read, and the next item was the amount of money and food that Wu Zhou currently owns.
Now Wu and Zhou have roughly 810 million shi of grain, including corn, rice, wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous things.
These grains basically came from the sweep of the Ganges Plain by the Guanning Army.
When the Guan Ning army entered the Ganges Plain, it was the harvest season, and one can imagine how much food they could get.
In addition, there is the issue of money.
Since the coins in India are rather messy, Wu Yingxiong didn't care about the value of the coins when making statistics, but simply counted them by weight.
In the end, the result of its sorting out is that there are more than [-] million taels of silver and more than [-] million taels of gold.
There are several kinds of jewelry, and if they are discounted, they can probably have 4000 to [-] million taels of silver.
In addition, there are also a large number of Indian antiques and treasures that are not easy to discount.
This is still not counting what the soldiers put in their own pockets during the looting process, the amount is already so amazing.
In this year's campaign, the Guan Ning army has basically been fattened up and down.
We can see the wealth of India!
This is just a plain of the Ganges River, and in order to pursue the speed of the cavalry's attack, the Guan Ning army did not smash those fortresses to death, but was only the result of looting on the outskirts of the city.
If the Guan Ning Army really swept the Ganges Plain, they might gain even more.
After reading the report, Wu Sangui pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"For me, Da Zhou, the most important thing is to realize the self-production of ordnance as soon as possible, and the production capacity of those arsenals must be expanded as soon as possible."
Now that Wu Zhou has entered the hinterland of India, if he wants to buy arms from Ming Dynasty to supplement the army, transportation will become a big problem.
Wu Sangui will continue to buy some ordnance from the elite troops from Daming, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elite troops.
However, Wu Sangui thinks that the large amount of ordnance needed by the cannon fodder troops should be self-produced.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort just to transfer.
From the hinterland of Ming Dynasty to India, the distance in between is more than ten thousand miles away?
"Since I am not short of money in Dazhou now, I should try my best to increase investment in ordnance production."
"Even if it is a premium, we must continue to import the ordnance production line of the arsenal from Daming."
"Even if you spend money, try to keep as many skilled workers as possible."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong bowed and said.
"Father, don't worry, my son understands!"
Wu Sangui continued to speak.
"Although from the current point of view, there is no shortage of food in Dazhou, but you have to pay more attention to the management and distribution of food."
"We must ensure that there is no problem with the food and grass needs of the army fighting on the front line..."
Wu Zhou is not short of food now, and the more than 800 million shi of food, even if Wu Zhou is free to eat it, it will be enough for them to eat for about a year and a half.
This is still the extreme situation where Wu Zhou will no longer have food in his account from now on.
Otherwise, their food and grass can last longer.
However, although Wu Zhou is not short of food now, it does not mean that food management does not need to be taken seriously.
Different types of food have different characteristics, some are perishable, some are more durable, and some require special storage methods...
There is learning everywhere, and there are points to pay attention to!
And more importantly, since ancient times, logistics management has been a place where rats are extremely prone to appear.
No matter how much you care, you can't overdo it!
Wu Yingxiong nodded yes, with a very serious expression.
Wu Sangui exhaled slowly, the tired look on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
After all, he is still old, and his energy is far less than when he was young.
However, Wu Sangui still cheered up and asked.
"Where is Ying Qi leading the troops now?"
Wu Yingxiong heard the words and spoke.
"Father, according to the battle report sent back from the front line, the second brother has led the main force of my Great Zhou, advancing all the way to Lahore, the important town of the Mughal Empire."
"We are confronting the heavy army group of the Mughal Empire, looking for fighters!"
"And Uncle Guogui led a light cavalry to attack Delhi directly, and plundered and harassed outside the city of Delhi, which greatly shocked the Mughal Empire!"
"We are going to use this method to encircle and fight for reinforcements, forcing the army of the Mughal Empire to abandon the strong city and fight with my Guanning iron cavalry."
To put it bluntly, it was the old method that the Manchu Qing invaded the northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty, threatened the capital, and surrounded the points for reinforcements to force the Ming army to fight with it.
It doesn't matter if the method is old or not, as long as it works!
……
ps: 8.6K big chapter, it's the beginning of the month, the author of Pujie asks for a monthly pass and subscription, and rolls around asking for support!
More and more soldiers of the Eight Banners entered the battlefield. They charged forward roaring, and it didn't take long for them to completely disperse the cavalry of the Mughal Empire who appeared on the battlefield.
It's not that the Mughal Empire didn't have elite cavalry, but the real elite cavalry of the Mughal Empire are now seeing back and forth on the Ganges Plain with Guan Ning's cavalry who entered the Khyber Pass.
The Mughal Empire is also very tense now.
It is impossible to send countless fine cavalry to the battlefield in Burma!
The Mughal Empire cavalry that now appear on the Burmese battlefield are basically second- and third-rate goods in the entire Mughal Empire.
It is impossible to be the opponent of the Eight Banners Cavalry!
After Nalan Mingzhu commanded the Eight Banners cavalry to come out of the formation, they quickly completed a U-turn, then adjusted the formation, and prepared to charge again.
This time, they did not adopt the traditional oriental cavalry charge array, but formed several rows of extremely dense wall cavalry arrays, advancing in a uniform manner.

The former Houjin suffered a great loss in front of the firearms of the Ming army, so Huang Taiji actively absorbed the surrender of the Ming army and formed the Wuzhenchaoha Heavy Artillery Battalion.
The Manchus once suffered a great loss before the Ming army's queuing up and shooting and bayonet charge. Now the tactics of the Manchu Qing army have also become queuing up and shooting and bayonet charge.

If we talk about the first confrontation between the two sides, the Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a comb, simply combing the cavalry of the Mughal Empire.
Then, in this second hedge, the wall-style assault array formed by the Manchu and Qing cavalry is like a comb used for combing hair.
The closer the queues are arranged, the more lethal effects they can form will naturally increase greatly.
Only a moment of effort, the outcome will be divided.
The oncoming Mughal Empire cavalry were quickly dispersed and fled everywhere.
Seeing this scene, these Eight Banners soldiers also began to chase after the victory.
Their wall cavalry array instantly dispersed, replaced by a team of three or five fine cavalry scattered.
These Eight Banners cavalry rushed on the battlefield recklessly, and saved the defeat just now in the blink of an eye.
The Burmese infantry who were chasing and killing the defeated coalition forces suffered a catastrophe!
Although the elephants controlled by those elephant soldiers were huge, they were actually too cumbersome. These Eight Banners cavalry used the tactics of roaming and harassment, and those elephant soldiers had almost no ability to fight back.
When the musket shot at close range, the bullets left big holes in the elephant's body.
Blood spurted out from the wound, and the elephant ran wildly after suffering the pain and wanted to withdraw from the battlefield.
The Burmese army on the elephant's back was also thrown off by the elephant, and their heads were beheaded by the Eight Banners cavalry who rushed over.
At this time, the battle on the battlefield is almost a one-sided massacre.
Those Burmese troops who were still aggressively chasing and killing the defeated coalition forces now also feel the feeling of being defeated like a mountain.
……
Liu Shantai received the battle report from Nalan Mingzhu from the front line, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Hahaha!"
"That's right, that's right, Nalan Pearl's defeat of the enemy this time has greatly increased the prestige of our coalition forces!"
After Liu Shantai learned that Mori Saburo and Shang Yingjie both died on the battlefield, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, if these two people did not die on the battlefield, but escaped back, how to deal with these two guys would become the biggest problem before Liu Shantai.
Based on the mysterious operations of these two people on the battlefield, coupled with the responsibility for this defeat, according to the military law of Ming Dynasty, there is a high probability that they will be pulled out and shot.
However, due to their special status, they were all sent by the vassal state.
It is definitely inappropriate for Daming to kill people without saying anything.
At that time, Liu Shantai will be in trouble.
Kill it, it's not suitable!
Don't kill it, it's hard to explain in military law!
Moreover, he could not disclose the matter to the emperor.
If it was up to the emperor to make a decision, then he, Liu Shantai, could indeed pick it out without taking any responsibility.
However, if everything has to trouble the emperor, what are these courtiers doing?
As the saying goes, when the emperor has something to do, the courtiers will do their best!
But there is no reason for the emperor to obey his work when his ministers have something to do.
Now, both of these two died on the battlefield, but it saved Liu Shantai from worrying about how to deal with them.
Just appease the rout soldiers who fled back.
It's not difficult!
……
At the same time, the Burmese king Mangbai, who personally visited Ren'an Qiang, also received the news from the front that his vanguard soldiers and horses had won first and then lost after encountering the vanguard of the Ming army.
After hearing the news, Mangbai's face was not very good-looking!
Facing the menacing coalition forces, although the Burmese army was not helpless to fight back, they were almost being beaten unilaterally.
After finally winning a game, Mangbai originally thought that he would take advantage of this incident to boost the low morale of his own army.
I really didn't expect that this battle turned into a muddled battle of winning first and then losing!
Mangbai's plan was completely in vain.
Thinking about these messy things, Mangbai exhaled heavily, and then spoke.
"Pass down the order and let the army prepare for battle!"
"No matter what, the enemy must be blocked in Ren'an Qiang, otherwise, Myanmar will really be over."
In order to be able to win this decisive battle in Ren'an Qiang, Mangbai gathered almost all the elites at hand in Ren'an Qiang.
There are the imperial guards of the Burmese royal family; there is a new army formed by Mangbai imitating the Lighting Army and then hiring foreign instructors; there are troops borrowed from the chiefs and warlords of the big tribes under the rule of Burma; Hired mercenaries, cavalry borrowed from the Mughal Empire...
The total number has already approached 20, which is quite huge.
This is a real heavy army group!
And this heavy army group is also where Mangbai's confidence lies in wanting to fight the coalition forces in Ren'an Qiang.
……
In a military tent, Rorschach, a military instructor from France, was soaking his feet.
Enjoying the feeling of soaking his feet in the scalding hot water little by little, Rorschach narrowed his small eyes very much.
Since coming to the east, Rorschach has been attracted by the mysterious oriental culture.
I fell in love with drinking hot water, soaking my feet, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, and my living habits are rapidly changing towards an oriental person.
This is the influence of oriental culture in this era!
Facts have proved that as long as your fist is strong enough, your culture is an advanced culture that the whole world is eager to learn from.
While Rorschach was enjoying the feeling of soaking his feet, there was a commotion outside his big tent, and a Burmese soldier came in to report after a while.
"Your Excellency Rorschach, Mr. Charles and Mr. Pedro are out to see you!"
The Burmese soldier reported to Rorschach in Chinese.
Luo Xia heard the words, nodded and said.
"Okay, let them in!"
When Luo Xia answered, he also used Chinese.
Whether they want to admit it or not, Chinese is the common language in the current Confucian cultural circle.
Even the high-level dignitaries in Myanmar use Chinese when they communicate with each other.
Even Myanmar's imperial court documents and history books are all written in Chinese characters.
Not long after, Charles and Pedro were brought in from the outside and brought before Rorschach.
Rorschach took his feet out of the hot water basin, and asked while wiping his feet with a towel.
"Oh, my dear Charles and Pedro, I wonder what you came to me for?"
Charles sat down at the table in the military tent, and then spoke.
"Mr. Luo Xia, do you think we can win this battle?"
Pedro also asked.
"Yes, Mr. Rorschach, can we win this battle?"
Although Myanmar has concentrated as many as 20 terrorist troops in Ren'anqiang, it is a very large and heavily armed group.
There are even some elite soldiers and horses among them!
At least, when they were in Europe, they had never seen so many troops assembled.
However, even so, as the war approached, the atmosphere in the Burmese army's Ren'anqiang camp began to gradually become dignified.
A large number of Burmese soldiers and soldiers showed worry or even fear.
It seems that the Burmese army's 20 heavy troops in Ren'anqiang cannot give them enough sense of security.
Charles, Pedro and others were in the barracks, so they naturally felt this.
Affected by the uneasy mood in the camp, they also felt worried.
Hearing this, Rorschach was relieved.
"Charles, Pedro, why do you think so?"
"What His Majesty the King of Burma possesses is a total of 20 elite soldiers capable of recruiting and fighting. How could they lose?"
"And according to the intelligence, the enemy's military strength is only around a hundred thousand."
"20 vs. [-], the advantage is mine!"
Hearing Rorschach's relief, for some reason, Charles and Pedro felt inexplicably cold in their hearts.
I feel that Rorschach's words are very unlucky!
Charles said in a complicated tone.
"The emperor of Ming Dynasty is indeed the most powerful man in the world. His prestige is really too powerful."
"With one order, all countries in the entire Far East must obey the order, and no one dares to raise objections."
"Caesar back then couldn't do that, could he?"
"In the face of such an enemy, fear is normal, not to mention those Burmese people, I feel fear and fear."
Pedro on the side heard the words, took a deep breath and said.
"Hey, yes, yes!"
"The current Daming really deserves to be the most powerful country in the world. I am even grateful that our European mainland is far away from Daming."
"Otherwise, who can be Daming's opponent?"
"This is really a terrible enemy!"
"..."
Now, they were going to stand on the opposite side of Daming, whether it was Charles or Pedro, they couldn't help but feel fear.
With one order, a multinational coalition army can be summoned. Such prestige and power are really beyond the imagination of these Westerners.
Hearing this, Rorschach comforted her.
"We are all the most faithful believers in God, I believe God will bless us!"
While speaking, Rorschach began to draw the cross on his chest, with an unusually pious attitude.
Seeing this scene, Charles and Pedro drew the cross on their chests and recited the eulogy.
……
Nanjing City, Imperial Study Room!
Zhu Hongyu received Gaoyuan Living Buddha in the imperial study and prepared to practice it for him.
After practicing, Zhu Hongyu will send someone to escort the living Buddha back to the plateau.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Hongyu chose to release the Living Buddha was not because he wanted to confess his love to Tantric Buddhism.
It was the Tantric sect represented by the living Buddha who voluntarily bowed to the imperial power.
The Ming court reached an agreement with the Tantric side, and the Ming Dynasty recognized the special status of Tantric Buddhism on the plateau, and allowed the Tantric side to spread out and preach around the world.
During this missionary process, the Ming court would provide shelter for the missionary monks of Tantric Buddhism.
The price to be paid for Tantric Buddhism is that the imperial court has to review and revise the teachings of Tantric Buddhism.
For some teachings that are harmful to society and have defamation to the court, they must be deleted.
For example, those things that use human body materials to make utensils must not be done in Tantra.
What's more, in the future, the replacement of living Buddhas in the past tantra must be reported to the imperial court for approval, and the emperor's approval is required for the reincarnation of the reincarnation.
Zhu Hongyu thought of an excuse, euphemistically calling it "drawing lots from the golden urn".
In addition, the Tantric side must fully cooperate with the policy reforms implemented by the imperial court on the plateau, including land reform, emancipation of serfs, and religious reform.
And after Daming solves the grassland issue in the future, the Tantric side will also come forward to help Daming stabilize the grassland situation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Hongyu really realized it very clearly now.
If I want to stabilize the plateau, the Western Regions, grasslands and other places, then I can't completely turn Tantrism into the opposite of myself.
Although those lamas were unable to resist Ming's swordsmanship, with their religious influence, they were able to add obstacles to the rule of Ming Dynasty and destroy the grassroots order of Ming Dynasty.
Killing with a soft knife is the deadliest!
I am the emperor, and for the people in Han, the emperor's authority is above all else, even gods need to be canonized by the emperor.
Otherwise, it is a temple of evil spirits!
However, for the minorities outside the Han area, the influence of religion is still very large.
If the imperial court wants to thoroughly implement the grassroots regime, it will inevitably have to compromise with religious forces.
Zhu Hongyu now understands that compromise is the art of politics.
And this compromise, to put it bluntly, is Zhu Hongyu's promise to protect Tantric Buddhism to the world in exchange for Tantric Buddhism's surrender to Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, when it comes to preaching abroad, Zhu Hongyu originally liked Taoism very much.
After all, Taoism is China's native religion, so naturally Zhu Hongyu should pay more attention to it.
But there is no other way, the Daoists lie flat!
The faces of those Daoists seem to be covered with the words "Believe in love, get out if you don't believe in it", "Mortals crawl away, Daoist wants to cultivate immortals", what else can Zhu Hongyu do?
Count on these guys to preach abroad?
Zhu Hongyu felt that there was no hope!
Then, the only choice before Zhu Hongyu was Buddhism.
After all, he can't count on the Jesus religion and the Green religion, can he?
Needless to say about Chinese Buddhism, Zhu Hongyu will definitely support this little brother who has been taught to be good by the ancestors.
With the policy support of the imperial court, a large number of bald monks went to Nanyang, North Korea, plateau, Siberia and other places to carry out missionary activities.
Provide assistance to the imperial court to stabilize the place!
Even the expedition fleet to the New World was accompanied by several great monks.
Of course, Taoism also has supportive policies for Buddhism from the imperial court.
It's just that the Daoists don't care much about preaching, and just follow the fate.
For Zhu Hongyu, Chinese Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism are both Buddhism.
There is a difference between the two, but Zhu Hongyu doesn't care.
Because the so-called teachings can be changed.
As long as the Tantric side is willing to accept the leadership of the imperial court, Zhu Hongyu naturally does not mind supporting his missionary work abroad.
It is better to let the lamas of Tantric Buddhism preach and seize the right to speak in the world than to watch the missionaries of the Jesus religion preach and seize the right to speak in the world, while Daming remains indifferent.
"This time when we return to the plateau, the poor monk will let the Tantric sect go all out to fully cooperate with the implementation of the imperial government's policies. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The Living Buddha said very respectfully in front of Zhu Hongyu.
The attitude is very good.
Zhu Hongyu picked up his wine glass and took a sip, then spoke.
"This time, the Tantric side can wake up and choose to accept the leadership of the imperial court. I am very relieved."
"I want to come to the Burmese coalition army organized by the imperial court to achieve results soon and present a victory for me."
"At that time, the Tantric side can send monks to assist the court to control the place and stabilize people's hearts after the imperial army has occupied Myanmar."
"The imperial court will provide security guarantees for monks entering Myanmar!"
Zhu Hongyu's meaning is very clear, since you are acquainted, then I will not be stingy with you.
Promise to allow you to preach abroad, then I will do what I say.
Myanmar is Zhu Hongyu's first sweetness for Tantra.
After the Living Buddha returned to the plateau, if Zhu Hongyu was satisfied with Tantrism's subsequent performance, Zhu Hongyu would naturally not mind giving them more sweetness.
But if they dare to treat Zhu Hongyu positively and negatively, then I'm sorry, if the three martial arts and one sect can destroy Buddha, so can Zhu Hongyu.
The big deal is to kill a blood flow into a river!
Hearing this, the Living Buddha got up from his seat and bowed down to worship.
"The poor monk replaced the tantric sect, thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"
"When the poor monk returns to the plateau, he will definitely pray and chant sutras for His Majesty day and night in front of the Buddha. I hope that His Majesty can live forever and have blessings and prosperity."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and spoke.
"Haha, there is no need to be too polite, let the living Buddha live in peace!"
"I also believe in Buddhism."
Hearing this, the Living Buddha smiled and felt mmp.
Do you believe in Buddhism?
I believe you asshole!
He didn't see any appearance of believing in Buddhism from Zhu Hongyu...
However, in fact, Zhu Hongyu did not lie. He did believe in Buddhism, but his beliefs were more complicated. He believed in not only Buddha but also other things.
In addition to believing in Buddhism, he also believes in God, Confucius, ancestors, and science...
If Daming can rule Central Asia and even West Asia in the future, it is not impossible for him to add an Allah to his belief.
If Ming can rule Europe, you can add another God.
No problem!
As a Chinese emperor, Zhu Hongyu, like his ancestors, has a very flexible bottom line of belief.
He will trust whoever is useful to him!
After practicing the banquet, the Living Buddha chose to bid farewell to Zhu Hongyu and leave.
On the other hand, Zhu Hongyu ordered people to form a team to escort the Living Buddha back to the plateau.
……
In the house where the Daming Royal Song and Dance Troupe was hung, the Living Buddha bid farewell to the servants beside Zhu Hongyusheng who came to see him off, uttered the Buddha's name, turned and returned to the house.
In the courtyard, Dayan Khan and Burni were playing chess under the shade of a tree.
It's just that if you get closer, you will find that they are not playing Go, but just backgammon.
The climate in Nanjing is cold and humid in winter. It is a very enjoyable thing to bask in the sun in the yard after lunch.
Burni was thinking about playing chess, touching his double chin with one hand, and holding the chess piece with the other, with a relaxed expression.
Compared with before, he is now much fatter. He has been pampered and pampered in Nanjing for such a long time, and he knows that Zhu Hongyu will not do anything to him.
Open minded and naturally fat!
Burni's figure quickly swelled up like popping a balloon.
Anyway, he usually has nothing to do, and eating has almost become his only hobby.
The same is true for Dayan Khan on the side. Compared with the original, his figure is much bloated.
Seeing the Living Buddha coming back, Dayan Khan raised his head and asked.
"The Living Buddha is back?"
"How is the situation? What does His Majesty say?"
The Living Buddha announced a Buddha's name with one hand, and then spoke.
"His Majesty agrees that the poor monk will return to the plateau!"
"I also let go of the preaching of Tantric Buddhism, but from now on, the living Buddha can only be reincarnated according to the order."
When Dayan Khan heard this, the expression on his face was complicated.
What he once wanted to do but didn't dare to do, was easily done by Zhu Hongyu.
Moreover, the Living Buddha is allowed to return to the plateau now, but Dayan Khan probably has no hope in his life.
No matter how big-hearted Zhu Hongyu was, he wouldn't let him, who had been a profuse sweater, back to the plateau and return the tiger to the mountain.
However, in the end Dayan Khan nodded slightly and spoke.
"In that case, congratulations to the Living Buddha!"
Hearing the words, the Living Buddha opened his mouth to wish.
"I believe that in the future, Da Khan will definitely get what he wants!"
Dayan Khan shook his head when he heard the words.
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about what's there and what's not. For the rest of my life, I'll just play chess with Burni in Nanjing City."
Dayan Khan has accepted his fate now, and no longer hopes that he will be released back to the plateau in the future.
Burni on the side heard the words and said.
"Happy here, don't miss Sichuan!"
Dayan Khan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"It's the extreme, it's the extreme. I'm happy here, and I don't think about Shu!"
The two of them, as kings of subjugation, did not kill them, but put them under house arrest.
They don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there are rewards during the New Year and festivals on weekdays, and no one comes to humiliate and bully them in ordinary times.
It is already considered magnanimous, and they should be content.
At the very least, their ending was much better than that of Kang Mazi in the same yard.
Thinking of Xiao Kangzi's shrill voice, Burni and Dayan Khan couldn't help shivering, it was a little scary!
The fate of An Legong, who is reluctant to think about leaving, may be the best ending for the two of them in this life.
If there are more, it is not an extravagant hope!
……
India, Khyber Pass!
After the Guan Ning army broke through the Khyber Pass and entered the hinterland of India, they began to advance with light cavalry.
Although it failed to occupy too much territory, it swept across most of the Ganges Plain with iron cavalry in just a few months.
The raids and battles after the war, as well as the massacre of cities and grass valleys after the war, allowed the Guanning Army to seize a large amount of money, food and materials.
Since Wu Sangui made up his mind to settle down in India, he did not transfer the seized money, food and materials to the Western Regions.
Instead, a pass city was quickly built with cement bricks near the Khyber Pass.
This pass city was firstly used as a forward base for the army, so that the family members of the army could have a place to rest and repair, and the army fighting ahead could have a base camp.
The second is that it can be used to hoard money, food and materials seized by the army in India.
These money, food and materials will become the most important logistical support after Wu Zhou entered India.
And this Guancheng Fortress built with cement bricks was named Xinshanguan by Wu Sangui.
And this name fully revealed Wu Sangui's ambition.
He, Wu Sangui, wants to enter India and establish his Wu family's ten thousand year old foundation.
Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he would not be able to keep the Mughal Empire, as Wu Sangui said.
Standing on the Guancheng, Wu Sangui looked at the endless Ganges plain in front of him, his eyes were full of inexplicable expressions.
It can be seen that he is very greedy for the Great Plains in front of him.
As a Han Chinese, Wu Sangui's first reaction was to see such a large plain.
"Such a large plain, how many good fields have to be reclaimed, and how many elite soldiers have to be raised!"
Now, Wu Sangui already has a preliminary strategy for India after conquering India.
The most important thing is actually Tuntian...
At this moment, a soldier ran to Wu Sangui's side and reported.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince begs to see you!"
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, and then said oh.
"Bring people here!"
After his words fell, Wu Yingxiong was brought in front of him not long after.
"My son, please see my father!"
The moment Wu Yingxiong saw Wu Sangui, he saluted very obediently.
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"Free gift!"
Wu Yingxiong straightened up, came to his father, and then reported.
"Father, I have finished what you told me!"
"This is what I calculated. The population and the amount of money and food that my Da Zhou controls now..."
While speaking, Wu Yingxiong presented a report to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui took the report and began to read it.
At present, Wu Zhou has a total population of 77, of which almost 60 are prisoners of war and slaves captured after the Guanning Army entered India.
Most of the rest are family members of Guan Ningjun.
Although the current population under Wu Zhou's rule is not large, its mobilization ability is quite good.
Needless to say, those family members, they can all be soldiers at critical moments.
And the words of those slaves need not be said. Could it be that the slave dares to refuse the master's order?
Wu Sangui continued to read, and the next item was the amount of money and food that Wu Zhou currently owns.
Now Wu and Zhou have roughly 810 million shi of grain, including corn, rice, wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous things.
These grains basically came from the sweep of the Ganges Plain by the Guanning Army.
When the Guan Ning army entered the Ganges Plain, it was the harvest season, and one can imagine how much food they could get.
In addition, there is the issue of money.
Since the coins in India are rather messy, Wu Yingxiong didn't care about the value of the coins when making statistics, but simply counted them by weight.
In the end, the result of its sorting out is that there are more than [-] million taels of silver and more than [-] million taels of gold.
There are several kinds of jewelry, and if they are discounted, they can probably have 4000 to [-] million taels of silver.
In addition, there are also a large number of Indian antiques and treasures that are not easy to discount.
This is still not counting what the soldiers put in their own pockets during the looting process, the amount is already so amazing.
In this year's campaign, the Guan Ning army has basically been fattened up and down.
We can see the wealth of India!
This is just a plain of the Ganges River, and in order to pursue the speed of the cavalry's attack, the Guan Ning army did not smash those fortresses to death, but was only the result of looting on the outskirts of the city.
If the Guan Ning Army really swept the Ganges Plain, they might gain even more.
After reading the report, Wu Sangui pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"For me, Da Zhou, the most important thing is to realize the self-production of ordnance as soon as possible, and the production capacity of those arsenals must be expanded as soon as possible."
Now that Wu Zhou has entered the hinterland of India, if he wants to buy arms from Ming Dynasty to supplement the army, transportation will become a big problem.
Wu Sangui will continue to buy some ordnance from the elite troops from Daming, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elite troops.
However, Wu Sangui thinks that the large amount of ordnance needed by the cannon fodder troops should be self-produced.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort just to transfer.
From the hinterland of Ming Dynasty to India, the distance in between is more than ten thousand miles away?
"Since I am not short of money in Dazhou now, I should try my best to increase investment in ordnance production."
"Even if it is a premium, we must continue to import the ordnance production line of the arsenal from Daming."
"Even if you spend money, try to keep as many skilled workers as possible."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong bowed and said.
"Father, don't worry, my son understands!"
Wu Sangui continued to speak.
"Although from the current point of view, there is no shortage of food in Dazhou, but you have to pay more attention to the management and distribution of food."
"We must ensure that there is no problem with the food and grass needs of the army fighting on the front line..."
Wu Zhou is not short of food now, and the more than 800 million shi of food, even if Wu Zhou is free to eat it, it will be enough for them to eat for about a year and a half.
This is still the extreme situation where Wu Zhou will no longer have food in his account from now on.
Otherwise, their food and grass can last longer.
However, although Wu Zhou is not short of food now, it does not mean that food management does not need to be taken seriously.
Different types of food have different characteristics, some are perishable, some are more durable, and some require special storage methods...
There is learning everywhere, and there are points to pay attention to!
And more importantly, since ancient times, logistics management has been a place where rats are extremely prone to appear.
No matter how much you care, you can't overdo it!
Wu Yingxiong nodded yes, with a very serious expression.
Wu Sangui exhaled slowly, the tired look on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
After all, he is still old, and his energy is far less than when he was young.
However, Wu Sangui still cheered up and asked.
"Where is Ying Qi leading the troops now?"
Wu Yingxiong heard the words and spoke.
"Father, according to the battle report sent back from the front line, the second brother has led the main force of my Great Zhou, advancing all the way to Lahore, the important town of the Mughal Empire."
"We are confronting the heavy army group of the Mughal Empire, looking for fighters!"
"And Uncle Guogui led a light cavalry to attack Delhi directly, and plundered and harassed outside the city of Delhi, which greatly shocked the Mughal Empire!"
"We are going to use this method to encircle and fight for reinforcements, forcing the army of the Mughal Empire to abandon the strong city and fight with my Guanning iron cavalry."
To put it bluntly, it was the old method that the Manchu Qing invaded the northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty, threatened the capital, and surrounded the points for reinforcements to force the Ming army to fight with it.
It doesn't matter if the method is old or not, as long as it works!
