Chapter 785 South Asia (9) Treaty of Delhi

A quarter of an hour later, Modiji was carried into the palace hall by two sergeants.

"How is it?" Zhu Cijiong came down from the throne this time, looked down at Mo Diji and asked, "Is your brain back to normal now? Can you communicate normally?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Di Ji was still stubborn.

"You should cherish this opportunity to negotiate peace."

"This is the last chance we, the Mughal Empire, give you."

"Once you miss this opportunity, you will pay a heavy price."

Zhu Cijiong was a little dumbfounded, wondering what was going on with these people?

It is really rare for someone to be mentally retarded to this extent, so how can they negotiate for peace?

At that moment, Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said: "Pull him down and beat him again until he begs for mercy!"

"Yes!" the two sergeants agreed, and immediately dragged Modiji down like a dead dog.

Soon, the sound of hitting was heard again outside the hall, accompanied by screams one after another. Hitting the board was actually very painful, and most people really couldn't bear it.

Xia Wanchun said with some worry: "Prince Ding, if you continue like this, you will be beaten to death."

"If you beat me to death, I'll beat you to death. How can you negotiate a peace with such a fool?" Zhu Cijiong snorted and said, "In the worst case, I will be stationed in the South Asian subcontinent for a long time, and I will slowly waste my time with these rubbish."

Li Yan said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way it can be done now."

Fortunately, after two meals, Modiji's mind finally returned to normal.

After realizing that it was impossible to "frighten" the Ming Dynasty and gain an advantage by "talking", Modiji finally bent down and lowered his head.

Moreover, this time the posture was very low.

It is said that the Japanese are the best dogs, but this is actually not true.

The best dog is not the Japanese, but the South Asian Asan.

Looking at Mo Di Ji lying on the stretcher and finally able to communicate normally, Zhu Cijiong finally smiled: "Is the stupidity over? You can finally communicate normally, right?"

After listening to the interpreter's translation, Madhiji said humbly: "We have fully realized the power of the Ming Empire and also experienced the power of the Ming army. We, the Mughal Empire, are willing to show the greatest sincerity and only hope that the Ming Empire can show its noble hand.

, allow the Mughal Empire to continue to exist, and everything else is easy to talk about."

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but look at Li Yan and Xia Wanchun.

The contrast between the front and back is too great, it's almost a 180 degree turn.

Does this directly reveal the bottom line of the Mughal Empire?

Then there's nothing to be polite about, just squeeze him to death.

At that moment, Zhu Cijiong smiled and asked: "You only want to allow the existence of the Mughal Empire?"

"Yes, we only ask that our Mughal Empire be allowed to continue to exist. Everything else can be discussed." Modiji directly stated the bottom line of the negotiation. It was really impossible to understand the way of thinking of these Asan.

But this is really the bottom line of Mughal Emperor Aurunzeb.

After a pause, Zhu Cijiong asked again: "How much is the annual income of the Mughal Empire?"

Zhu Cijiong asked casually and didn't think Modiji would tell him.

However, Modiji replied directly: "Last year's annual income was about 300 million silver rupees."

"Three hundred million?" Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard this. Are you really willing to tell such a secret? Do these South Asian Asans have shit in their heads? Don't they have any awareness of keeping secrets?

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cijiong was startled.

Three hundred million is a huge fortune. Was the Mughal Empire so rich?

Li Yan also took a breath of cold air: "Three silver rupees are equivalent to one yuan of Ming Dynasty silver notes, and three hundred million silver rupees are equivalent to 100 million yuan of silver notes, which means an annual income of 100 million taels of silver!"

Xia Wanchun was also surprised when he heard this. Is the Mughal Empire so rich?

You know, before the great development of industry and commerce in the Ming Empire, the annual income was only more than 20 million to less than 30 million in silver notes, which is equivalent to only a quarter of the Mughal Empire's annual income! Damn!

Of course, the current annual revenue of the Ming Empire has exceeded 500 million silver notes.

However, the Mughal Empire did not have the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty. It was a bit exaggerated to actually obtain taxes worth 100 million silver notes just by relying on farming and trade.

This also shows how wealthy the South Asian subcontinent is.

At that moment, Zhu Cijiong, Li Yan and Xia Wanchun gathered together to discuss for a long time.

After the discussion, Zhu Cijiong said to Modiji: "Our conditions are: First, the Mughal Empire needs to compensate the Ming Empire for military expenses totaling 5 billion silver rupees, which must be paid back in fifty years, with a total principal and interest of 10 billion silver rupees.

Rupees, two hundred million silver rupees per year; secondly, the narrow area of ​​the Indian peninsula close to the sea, fifty miles wide, was ceded to the Ming Empire. The Mughals living in this area of ​​more than ten thousand miles long and fifty miles wide need to be emptied as soon as possible."

"Repay two hundred million silver rupees annually?"

"Do you have to cede fifty miles to the sea to the Ming Dynasty?"

When Madhiji heard this, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

But Zhu Cijiong patted Madhi Ji on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, the Ming Empire will not kill the chicken to retrieve the eggs. As the saying goes, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since our Ming Empire has taken the compensation given by your Mughal Empire,

Naturally, they will also assume corresponding obligations. For example, if there is a rebellion in the Mughal Empire or an invasion by Europeans, the garrison sent by our Ming Empire will take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

After a pause, he added: "In addition, there is another great benefit."

"What great benefit?" Moji Ji's heart was pounding, "What benefit?"

Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "Don't you Mughal Empire have so many people? You can sell slave labor. Our Ming Dynasty is in urgent need of a large number of slave labor. We can buy it at the price of ten silver rupees per slave labor, so you don't

The Wol Empire doesn’t have to worry about running out of money to pay compensation.”

"A slave laborer is worth ten silver rupees?"

Modiji was overjoyed when she heard this. This is really good news.

"How is it?" Zhu Cijiong asked with a smile, "Was the Ming Dynasty kind enough?"

"Yes, yes, the Ming Dynasty is indeed kind." Mo Diji nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with this.

Zhu Cijiong said: "Modi Ji, right? If you have no objection, then sign the agreement."

While talking, the two sergeants had brought over two copies of the text, one written in Mongolian and the other written in Chinese characters. Zhu Cijiong first signed his name, then stamped it with his own seal.

Ji also signed and stamped the document, then exchanged the text and then signed and stamped it, and the agreement officially came into effect.

This agreement is known historically as the Treaty of Delhi.



When the telegram was sent to Chongzhen, he was already in Malacca.

After annihilating the main force of the Dutch expedition fleet, the Ming Dynasty Navy never encountered any challenge in the Southeast Asia. No matter it was the Portuguese Far East Fleet, the Spanish Far East Fleet, or the English pirate fleet, they could not stop it.

Attack by any detachment of the Ming Navy.

In view of this, Chongzhen also decisively decided to divide his troops and attack.

The three major fleets were divided into six task force fleets by Chongzhen, respectively responsible for attacking Ayutthaya, Manlajia, Batavia, Ternate and Ambon and other colonies.

Chongzhen personally led a task force fleet and an army regiment to attack Manlajia.

The Portuguese defenders stationed at the Malacca Fortress were no match for the Ming army.

Under the joint sea and air attack of the Ming Navy, hundreds of defenders within the fortress quickly raised white flags and surrendered, and the Ming army occupied Malacca without bloodshed.

Immediately, a regiment of the Army's 3rd Division landed ashore and took control of Malacca.

In the future, this regiment will also fight against the Kingdom of Johor on the Malay Peninsula and the Kingdom of Aceh on the island of Sumatra, and continue to expand into the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.

At this point, the expedition has come to an end.

Although the three major fleets of the Navy can continue their expedition, the strength of the Army's 3rd Division has been reduced.

If you want to continue the expedition to Burma, Australia, or even Africa and America, you must once again mobilize the army from the Ming Dynasty. Without the coordination of the army, the navy alone can only follow the practices of European countries and carry out military operations in various places.

Colonial strongholds were established one after another along the coast of the mainland and then slowly expanded, but this was too inefficient.

Therefore, Chongzhen decided to temporarily stop the expedition. At present, the Ming Dynasty has successively conquered the Japanese lands, North Korea, Outer Mongolia, Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. The territory has more than doubled, which is enough to digest for a while, at least in terms of population.

Before doubling, there is no ability to colonize again.

Colonization requires a large population as a foundation.

Chongzhen had just captured Malacca, and Zhu Cijiong's telegram was also sent.

After reading the full text of the Treaty of Delhi, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This is really a change of time. The Ming Dynasty in this world has finally become a great power, and it is also a cliff-like super power. All other countries are younger brothers in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Tianyi also smiled and said: "Now King Ding can finally get his wish."

"What wish can he wish for?" Chongzhen said with a smile, "What wish can he wish for?"

"Of course we will continue to lead the army to the expedition to West Asia." Jiang Tianyi said with a smile, "The next step should be to attack Persia, right?"

"I'm afraid he has no chance to attack Persia." Chongzhen shook his head and said, "At least he won't have the chance in a short time. Before the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrive in Delhi, he will have no chance to expedition to Persia."

"Ah?" Jiang Tianyi asked in astonishment, "The strength of two cavalry armies is not enough?"

"I'm afraid there are no more two cavalry corps left." Chongzhen said, "There are at most two cavalry divisions left. Yes, the two cavalry divisions left in Central Asia."

Jiang Tianyi finally came to his senses: "What does the Lord mean?"

"Yes, that's what you think." Chongzhen said, "The continent of India is poisonous. Whoever enters will be destroyed. If I am not mistaken, the five and a half cavalry divisions that followed King Ding and Li Yan into Delhi, 11

Tens of thousands of soldiers have lost their enterprising spirit and are no longer willing to fight on the battlefield. They just want to return to the Ming Dynasty or ask to stay in India and become rich men."

"The total compensation is 10 billion silver rupees, which is equivalent to 3.3 billion silver dollars. They also robbed so much gold, silver and jewelry along the way. It adds up to 5 billion silver dollars. If 30% is used as a bounty, that is a full 1.5 billion silver dollars."

"Based on 1.1 billion, each of the 110,000 soldiers who fought in Delhi can get 10,000 silver dollars!"

"Although a large part of it has to be paid in installments over fifty years, the first installment of the bounty is at least six thousand silver dollars. With so much money, who the hell is willing to live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife?"
