On the second day of the second month of Gansheng, the dragon raised its head.

This day, the sky was clear.

Several multi-slurry gunships in Xincheng Harbor, under the movement of native slaves, flowed up the Godavari River, and the ship was filled with soldiers from Pingguo.

The Godavari River is the largest river in southern central and southern India. Although this river that stretches for 3,000 miles is named "Godavari", it is now the dividing line between Godavari and the Mughal Empire. This is even the reason why Godavari Sultan agreed to rent the estuary delta to the Ming Dynasty forever.

Why?

Because the Mughal Empire may have crossed the Godavari River at any time. However, at least this river is still a boundary river, from Pingguo New City to the flow. Rajamondri, at the top of the estuary delta, is the northernmost city in Godavari, and it is also the target of this Pingguo crusade.

Zhu Cixuan, who was on the multi-sized cannon boat, seemed a little nervous. After all, this was his first time to go to the battlefield. He wore his father's sword around his waist, which was given to him by His Majesty.

What he didn't know was that in another world, Chongzhen used this sword to kill his sisters. At this time, he had only one wish in his heart - to conquer the barbarians.

Of course, the real purpose is to expand.

As for the barbarians who are unrighteous, offending our country and hurting our people, it is just an excuse.

But with excuses, it means that the master is famous and that it is a provocation to promote righteousness!

Rajamondri is the place where the Godavari River must pass to the sea. It was built a city a thousand years ago. The natives living here... Well, they were first conquered by the Aryans and then ruled all the time. They created a caste system to rule and manage the country. Three hundred years ago, the Sultanate of Delhi conquered the Titicathiya Kingdom. The Titicathiya Dynasty was destroyed. The Walanga was renamed Sultan Temple and was placed under the jurisdiction of the officials of Tianfang Instructors. Although the Green Cult has occupied this place for 330 years, only a few Indians have converted to the Green Cult for equality. In fact, the Green Cult officials are unwilling to change their beliefs because they cannot use believers as slaves to drive them. Even believers will obey economic interests.

This also makes the number of Hindus here far more than Green and Green. After all, the ruling class is always a very small number, and the ruled Hindus are even more enslaved and oppressed.

They have long been accustomed to all this, and of course, not including those of the higher caste.

At noon the next day, when several flat-bottomed galloping boats appeared in Rajamondri, the people in the city didn't even realize what was going on.

"Boom boom boom!"

The leading gunship fired directly, with a big "flat" hanging on the mast.

Few natives know this word.

After all, it has only been two years since the Ming people came here.

Although he was ignorant, as a border city, the native officer guarding Rajamondri responded very quickly, closing the city gate directly, and then reporting to Iktadar, the prince.

When the defenders were hurrying to resist, the merchants and merchant ships in the port were panicked. They thought that robbers came to plunder the port, and prepared weapons to resist, and wanted to sail out of the port, and at the same time sent people to negotiate to delay time.

A native man came in a boat and shouted:

"I am Jawar Nehru, I wonder if the person on the ship is General Pingguo?"

Nehru was a businessman. He had been to Pingcheng, had seen square characters, and even could speak a few simple Chinese.

Cao Anguo walked to the bow of the ship.

"The natives of Rajamondri plundered the people of our Pingguo. I am the general of Pingguo Cao Anguo and came to conquer the unjust under the order of the king! You retreat quickly to avoid hurting the innocent!"

Nehru asked:

"The conquest is unjust? Is it the Ming Kingdom to occupy this place?"

Nehru had read the Spring and Autumn Period and knew the mercy of the "conquest". At this moment, he only wanted to know what the Ming people wanted to do.

As for Pingguo and Mingguo, it is the same in his eyes.

"good!"

Cao Anguo said,

"Rajamondri Iktadar condoned others to plunder our people, and our king personally led a large army to conquer. After this victory, this place will be incorporated into our country. Will Iktadar help Iktadar against the heavenly soldiers?"

Since the Delhi Sultanate, the "Iqta" military fief system has been prevalent in many areas of India. The feudal lord with "Iqta" was called "Iqtadar", and the largest "Iqtadar" was called "Mukti", with fiefs of as many as one or even several provinces. Initially, Iqtadar could only possess his fief for a lifetime, and he had to return the sultan after his death. The Sultan countries retained the right to reclaim and replace the fief. Three hundred years ago, Iqtadar began to recognize Iqta as the hereditary private territory of military nobles. It also became the earliest origin of Indian states, and "Iqtadar" was a semi-independent military corpse. Decades later, the conquest of the Mughal Empire was to defeat the sultan, and after Iqtadar surrendered from all over the country, it meant that it was unified.

In fact, it is nominal. Even these sultans and their military nobles - local fief lords, princes Iktadar, may have come from Persia or Afghanistan. Their ancestors conquered this land and became the rulers of these cities. Even the Mughal Empire founded by Babur and the defeated Sultanate of Delhi was just created by the previous wave of conquerors from Afghanistan. Like the Sultanate of Delhi, it was actually a colonial regime that replaced another colonial regime. The upper class was also filled with Persians and Afghans, and these foreigners ruled India.

But in this way, and every year, new Persians and new Afghans come to this land and become military aristocrats on this land. The so-called Mughal dynasty is definitely a colonial regime. In fact, from ancient times to the present, when has India been colonized?

This was the case in the past, and so is the present.

In fact, India began to rule itself after 1948. Before that, one wave of colonists replaced another wave of colonists. Even the ancestors of the wave of people 48 years later... were also colonists, at least descendants of colonial rulers - the Aryans of the higher castes.

The reason why Cao Anguo asked this is because the man in front of him was a Brahmin of a high caste. Not to mention that they were Hindus, even if he was a local, he would be excluded from the ruling class. After all, for colonial rulers, only the so-called self-people are the most reliable. This is the same, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ottomans. As for the so-called locals, they are just slaves. These Brahmins cannot work hard for Iktadar.

As an outsider, well, of course, we must first strive for the support of the oppressed, drive away the ruler, and then... well, transform into a new ruler. As for the collaborator, it is like a tamed dog, just throw a few bones.

"How is this possible to help Iqtadar?"

Nehru shook his head and said.

"How could we help them? They destroyed our temples and squeezed us at will, never regard us as human beings, and even compared us with Shudra..."

Nehru felt that hatred in his heart!

When did they regard Shudra as extraordinary, but the question is that in the eyes of Iktard, these pagans, whether they are Brahmins or Kshatriya, are the same as Vaishya, and even the same as Shudra, how can they accept this?

"Do Ming really want to occupy this place?"

Nehru asked again.

"Why, do you suspect we can't capture this place?"

Cao Anguo smiled and said:

"How could a villain doubt that as long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to occupy this place, we are more willing to accept your rule."

In the past two years, many local natives have entered and left Xincheng to do business. Compared with those rulers of the Tianfang Sect, the Ming people in Xincheng are not only more fair, but also will not point fingers at their beliefs. If they choose a ruler, they are more willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Nehru said again:

"Please wait for a moment, and I will go back and persuade everyone to submit to the city."

For Nehru and others, as early as the conquest of North India by the Gur Dynasty, the areas conquered by the Gur Dynasty, the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire, both Brahmins and Kshatriya had lost the power of their rulers. They were the same as Vaishya and could only rely on business to maintain their lives, although in the past few hundred years, they had long adapted to their dominant position.

But it does not mean that they do not want to change the ruler. Even decades later, they welcomed Aurangzeb. However, they did not expect that the guy was even more excessive than the current Sultan. It was just enough to charge a capita tax on them, and they destroyed the Hindu temple to rebuild the Tianfang Temple.

However, now, they have a better choice - Ming people.

The Ming people were so good, not only humble and polite, but never bullied them. They treated everyone fairly, and even were very kind to Shudra and the untouchables as slaves. Of course, there were Kshatriya and even Brahmins among those slaves. But this was not important. What was important was that they were better rulers than Iktadar.

For hundreds of years, as the foreign ruler, Iktadar, has great limitations in controlling the local area, and taxing merchants according to the fixed quota, and he will not care if he gives enough money.

However, the tax quota is getting higher and higher, and businessmen inside and outside the city are becoming increasingly dissatisfied. Now there are better rulers to choose. As long as they can ensure their own safety, it is a normal operation to surrender to the enemy and offer the city.
