Chapter 1059 The Final Conquest (2)

 Three parts are military and seven parts are politics. The cunning Emperor Guangwu has never liked to act recklessly, but likes to win over allies and divide powerful enemies. In order to destroy the Mughal Kingdom at the minimum cost, he is determined to win over the other party's enemies.<

/p>

Fortunately, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb pursued a short-sighted religious policy and liked to attack everywhere. He made many enemies, but allies were easy to find.

The old emperor ordered people to secretly contact the Sikhs in the Punjab region in northwest India, the Rajputs in the central and western regions, the Marathas in the central region, and Bijapur, Golconda, and the Kingdom of Travanth in the south.

.In addition, he also contacted three vassal states of the Ming Dynasty: Nibaci, Zhemengxiong, and Arakan, requesting a way to attack the Mughal Kingdom.

I originally thought that since we are a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, we should obey the will of the Celestial Kingdom in everything. It should be easier to contact the three kingdoms, but it would be more difficult to contact those forces that have not had much contact with the Ming Dynasty. But what you think is often not what you think.

.

Borrowing roads from the three vassal states was rejected without exception.

Nibaci is a small country, sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Kingdom. Neither of them dared to offend. Because they were afraid of being retaliated by the Mughal army, they refused.

Zhemengxiongguo is a neighboring country of Niba Ci. It is smaller than Niba Ci and is often invaded by Niba Ci. King Ponchug is willing to borrow a passage from the Ming army, but only if the Ming army helps him to attack him.

Niba Ci. This condition cannot be agreed to. After all, Niba Ci is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. How can one help one vassal to attack another vassal?

As for the Arakan Kingdom, it was originally a small country in the west of Myanmar. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty had conquered the Toungoo Dynasty, it was frightened and submitted its vassalage. The king of the country heard that the Ming Emperor valued trade and liked to conquer countries with good ports.

There are many good harbors in Qian! He has always been afraid of annexation by the Ming Dynasty and regarded the Mughal Kingdom as a force he could rely on, so he flatly refused.

We succeeded in contacting those forces that had little contact with the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shouzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, was escorted by two warships and came to Colachal, the capital of Travanth in the southwest corner of Tianzhu. This is an excellent port city on the Malabar Coast. The country is Tamil

In the country that was established, the Naya class in the country are very brave and good at fighting, defending the independence of the country with their own blood.

Hearing that the Ming Dynasty envoy had traveled thousands of miles across the ocean, King Varma was overjoyed and welcomed him with grand ceremony.

His situation is extremely dangerous! The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the north is encroaching on Bijapur and Golconda. Once the two countries are annexed, it will be his turn next; the Dutch in the south

They are a bunch of vicious wolves, and if they are not careful, they will swallow them to pieces. What’s even more hateful is that not long ago, a French merchant ship appeared in the southern waters, saying it was coming to do business, but it turned out that

He didn't bring many goods, but a few barbarians came down to survey the terrain and draw maps. What kind of businessmen were they? They were clearly craftsmen! In anger, he expelled this group of people, but he was worried that the enemy was too

They are too powerful, and relying solely on the bravery of the Chinese people may not help!

The Tamils ​​in Travant are extremely brave and good at fighting, especially the Naya class from the mountains, who are an excellent source of soldiers. They often go bare-chested, wear tattoos, and fight without risking their lives. However, the equipment is too

Poor, lack of guns and artillery, most of them are equipped with cold weapons. In conflicts with the Dutch, they often suffer from the opponent's sharp cannons.

Varma wanted to get firearms, and he did not hesitate to pay high prices to buy them from Spanish, Portuguese, French, and British businessmen, but it was a drop in the bucket, and what he got was often just some old guns, which could not be compared with the Dutch army in terms of quality or quantity.<

/p>

When I was worrying about weapons, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came, just like someone brings a pillow when I am dozing off. This is the great dynasty, and it would be crazy not to hug such thick thighs!

Therefore, Li Shouzhi received an extremely grand courtesy. When he proposed to form an alliance with the Travanth State to jointly deal with the brutal and murderous Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Varma agreed immediately.

"My country is willing to surrender to the Celestial Empire, and contact Bijapur and Golconda to form an alliance to deal with the Mughals," he said loudly. The idea of ​​surrendering was an idea that came to him. There was too much external pressure, so he wanted to take advantage of it.

The tiger skin of the Ming Dynasty frightened the powerful enemies who looked at the tiger.

Originally, he only planned to form an alliance with the other party, but unexpectedly the other party was willing to become a vassal. Li Shouzhi raised his eyebrows with joy. Today, the emperor is the most important person in terms of face. He added another vassal state to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it brought glory to Long Yan. It was a great achievement.

!

"I feel His Highness's sincerity. Please rest assured that if you are worthy of Daming, Daming will be worthy of you!" He said confidently.

"My country has shown sincerity, so we should also ask China to show sincerity," Varma said.

Li Shouzhi understood that there were conditions for the other party's surrender and alliance. This was a condition. It didn't matter, everything was easy to negotiate in the face of huge achievements.

"Your Highness, please speak." He waited for the lion to speak loudly.

"Please provide me with five cannons and one hundred muskets," Varma requested.

What, just so much?

Li Shouzhi was prepared to make a big move, but he didn't expect that the other party's request was just such a small amount. Although the emperor did not allow him to carry weapons or ammunition during this trip, the warship escorting him did have a mere five cannons and a hundred muskets.

That's all, he felt that he was completely in charge, so he ordered the guns to be unloaded from the ship and handed over to the other party.

It was so easy to get the coveted firearm. Varma's attitude became more and more submissive, and he was very excited as he stroked the five cannons with his hands. This is the benefit of joining the Celestial Empire! Li Shouzhi is used to being worldly, and he does what he wants.

A complete set, and a dozen more soldiers were left to teach Travant's soldiers the art of shooting, which moved Varma even more.

Tamil people have the most generous temperament. I respect others as much as I respect them. He immediately wrote a letter to Bijapur, the king of Golconda, urging them to follow him and submit to the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Mughal Emperor together.

Aurangzeb, these three countries have had some form of defense alliance for a long time.

In fact, there is no need to revise books. At this time, these two countries need the Ming Dynasty more than the Ming Dynasty needs them. The "tyrant" Aurangzeb left the capital and came to the Deccan. He had only one purpose: to command nearby and completely annex the two countries.

Under the command of the "tyrant", the Mughal army launched a fierce offensive. They first defeated the Bijapur army and forced the other party to surrender. They then deployed the army to the border of Golconda, sharpening their swords, waiting to complete the great cause of unifying Tianzhu.
Therefore, after seeing the letter from the Ming envoy and Varma, the kings of Bijapur and Golconda immediately surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and formed an alliance.

Without any effort, Li Shouzhi added three more vassal states to the Ming Dynasty. He took great credit and smiled happily.
