In the fierce fighting, people shouted and horses neighed.
More and more Eight Banners soldiers entered the battlefield. They roared and charged. It didn't take long to completely scatter the Mughal Empire cavalry who appeared on the battlefield.
This is not to say that the Mughal Empire did not have elite cavalry, but the real elite cavalry of the Mughal Empire are currently fighting back and forth on the Ganges Plain with the Guan Ning cavalry who have entered the Khyber Pass.
The Mughal Empire is also very tense in terms of military strength.
It is impossible to send countless elite cavalry to the battlefield in Burma!
The Mughal cavalry currently appearing on the battlefield in Myanmar are basically second- and third-rate in the entire Mughal Empire.
It is impossible to be the opponent of the Eight Banners Cavalry!
Nalan Mingzhu commanded his Eight Banners cavalry to quickly turn around after breaking out of the formation, then adjusted the formation and prepared to charge into the formation again.
This time, they did not use the traditional Eastern cavalry charge formation, but formed several rows of extremely dense wall-type cavalry arrays, advancing in an orderly manner.
During the operation, there is quite a bit of the style of the wall cavalry tactics used by the Ming Dynasty!
People and people and horses are arranged very closely.
A famous cavalryman formed a cavalry wall and kept pushing forward.
Facts have proved that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army also knew how to learn.
The Hou Jin Dynasty suffered a big loss from the Ming army's firearms, so Huang Taiji actively absorbed the Ming army's surrender and established the Wuzhen Chaoha Heavy Artillery Battalion.
In the past, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties suffered a big loss before the Ming army's queuing to shoot and bayonet charge. Now the Manchu and Qing army's tactics have also changed to queuing to shoot and bayonet charge.
Since the Manchu cavalry on the battlefield suffered a big loss from the Ming army's wall cavalry tactics when charging head-on, they would naturally learn from it.
Judging from the current situation, they are learning the same thing and are doing quite well.
Behind these Manchu and Qing cavalry, those who rushed into the battlefield were the Ming army sentry cavalry who had just been forced to evacuate the battlefield after the vanguard was defeated.
These Ming army sentries also came on horseback, armed with sabers and strong bows, ready to vent the frustration accumulated in their hearts after the recent defeat.
If we talk about the first confrontation between the two sides, the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry was like a comb, simply combing through the Mughal Empire's cavalry.
So, in this second confrontation, the wall-type charging array formed by the Manchu and Qing cavalry was like a grate used for combing hair.
The queues are arranged more closely, and the killing effect can be greatly increased.
In just a moment, the winner was decided.
The oncoming Mughal cavalry were quickly dispersed and fled everywhere.
Seeing this scene, these Eight Banners soldiers also began to pursue the victory.
Their wall-mounted cavalry array instantly dispersed, replaced by a team of three or five fine cavalry.
These Eight Banners cavalry charged unscrupulously on the battlefield and reversed the defeat in the blink of an eye.
The Burmese infantry, which was originally chasing the defeated coalition forces, suffered a devastating disaster!
Although the elephants controlled by the elephant soldiers were huge, they were actually too bulky. These Eight Banners cavalry used wandering harassment tactics, and the elephant soldiers had almost no ability to fight back.
When the musket was fired at close range, the projectiles left big holes in the elephant's body.
Blood spurted out from the wound, and after the pain, the elephant ran wildly to escape from the battlefield.
The Burmese soldiers on the elephant's back were also thrown off the elephant, and their heads were beheaded by the Eight Banners cavalry who rushed over after them.
At this time, the fighting on the battlefield was almost a one-sided massacre.
The Burmese army, which was still very arrogantly pursuing the defeated coalition forces, now also felt the feeling of being defeated like a mountain.
…
Liu Shantai received the battle report from Nalan Mingzhu on the front line, and a smile instantly bloomed on his face.
"Hahaha!"
"Yes, yes, Nalan Mingzhu's defeat of the enemy this time has greatly enhanced the prestige of our coalition forces!"
After Yanagi Shantai learned that both Maori Saburo and Shang Yingjie died on the battlefield, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, if these two people did not die on the battlefield, but escaped, 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 their responsibility for the defeat, according to the military law of the 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 Ming Dynasty to kill people without saying a word.
At that time, Taiko Liushan will be in trouble.
Just kill him, it’s not appropriate!
Don't kill him, it's hard to explain in military law!
Moreover, he could not reveal the matter to the emperor.
If the emperor makes the decision on this matter, then he, Liu Shantai, can indeed take it out without having to bear any responsibility.
However, if everything is going to trouble the emperor, then what else do these ministers do?
As the saying goes, if the emperor has something to do, his ministers will obey him!
But there is no reason why the emperor should obey his ministers when they have something to do.
Now, both of them died on the battlefield, which saves Liu Shantai from having to worry about how to deal with them.
Just pacify the defeated soldiers who fled back.
This is not difficult!
…
At the same time, King Mangbai of Myanmar, who came to Ren'anqiang in person, also received news from the front line that his own vanguard troops had won first and then lost after encountering the vanguard of the Ming army.
After hearing the news, Mang Bai's face didn't look very good! Lan
Facing the menacing coalition forces, although the Burmese army is not helpless to fight back, it is almost being beaten unilaterally.
After finally winning a battle, Mangbai originally thought that he would use this incident to boost the low morale of his own army.
I really didn’t expect that this battle would turn out to be a confusing battle of winning first and then losing!
Mang Bai's plan was completely in vain.
Thinking about these messy things, Mang Bai exhaled a heavy breath and then spoke.
"Send the order and let the army prepare for war!"
"No matter what, we must stop the enemy in Ren'anqiang, otherwise, Myanmar will really be doomed." Lan
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to win this decisive battle against Ren'an Qiang, Mang Bai gathered almost all the elites he had on Ren'an Qiang.
There are the royal guards of the Burmese royal family; there are new armies formed by Mangbai imitating the Ming Army and hiring foreign instructors; there are troops borrowed from the big tribal chiefs and warlords under the rule of Myanmar; there are also troops borrowed from Western countries.
Mercenaries hired, cavalry borrowed from the Mughal Empire...
The total number is close to 200,000, which is quite huge.
This is a truly heavily armed group!
This heavily armed group was also the source of Mangbai's confidence to fight against the coalition forces in Ren'anqiang.
…
In a military tent, Rorschach, a military instructor from France, was soaking his feet.
Enjoying the feeling of his feet being soaked bit by bit by the scalding hot water, Luo Xia narrowed his small eyes with great enjoyment.
Since coming to the East, Rorschach has been attracted by the mysterious Eastern culture.
I fell in love with drinking hot water, soaking my feet, eating steamed buns and porridge, and my living habits were rapidly changing like those of an Oriental.
This is the influence of Eastern culture in this era!
Facts have proved that as long as your fist is strong enough, your culture will be an advanced culture that the whole world will strive to learn from.
While Rorschach was enjoying the feeling of soaking his feet, there was a commotion outside his big tent, and not long after, a Burmese soldier came in to report.
"Your Excellency Rorschach, Mr. Charles and Mr. Pedro are outside asking for an audience!"
This Burmese soldier used Chinese when reporting to Rorschach.
Hearing this, Luo Xia nodded and said.
"Okay, let them in!"
When Rorschach answered, he also used Chinese.
Whether they are willing to admit it or not, Chinese is now the common language in the Confucian cultural circle.
Even Myanmar's top dignitaries use Chinese when communicating with each other.
Even Myanmar’s official court documents and history books are all written in Chinese characters.
Not long after, Charles and Pedro were brought in from outside and brought to Rorschach.
Rorschach took his feet out of the hot water basin, wiped them with a towel, and asked.
"Oh, my dear Charles and Pedro, I wonder why you came to me?"
Charles sat down at the table in the military tent and then spoke.
"Mr. Rorschach, do you think we can win this battle?"
Pedro also asked.
"Yes, Mr. Luoschach, can we win this battle?" Lan
Although Myanmar has concentrated a terrifying force of up to 200,000 troops in Yan'an Qiang, it is a very large and heavily armed group.
There are even some elite soldiers and horses among them!
At the very 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'an Qiang camp began to gradually become solemn.
A large number of Burmese soldiers looked worried or even frightened.
It seems that the Burmese army's 200,000-strong troop group in Yan'anqiang cannot give them enough sense of security.
Charles, Pedro and others were in the military camp, so they naturally felt this.
Affected by the uneasy mood in the camp, they also had worries in their hearts.
Hearing this, Luo Xia opened his mouth to express relief.
"Charles, Pedro, why do you think so?"
"His Majesty the King of Burma has a total of 200,000 elite troops who are good at fighting. How could he lose?"
"According to the intelligence, the enemy only has about 100,000 troops."
"Two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, the advantage is mine!"
Listening to Rorschach's comfort, for some reason, both Charles and Pedro felt inexplicable chills in their hearts.
I feel like what Rorschach said is very unlucky!
Charles said in a complicated tone.
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the most powerful man in the world. His prestige is really great."
"With an order, all countries in the entire Far East will obey the order, and no one dares to raise objections."
"Caesar back then couldn't do this, right?"
"Facing such an enemy, fear is normal. Not to mention those Burmese people, I felt fear and terror."
Pedro on the side heard this, took a deep breath and said.
"Hey, yes, yes!"
"The Ming Dynasty is indeed the most powerful country in the world now. I even feel lucky that our European mainland is far away from the Ming Dynasty."
"Otherwise, who can be Daming's opponent?"
"This is truly a formidable enemy!"
"..."
Now, they have to stand on the opposite side of Ming Dynasty. Both Charles and Pedro can't help but feel fear.
With just one order, a multinational coalition can be summoned. Such prestige and power are truly unimaginable to these Westerners.
Hearing this, Luo Xia opened his mouth to comfort him.
"We are all God's most loyal believers and believe that God will bless us!"
While talking, Rorschach began to cross himself on his chest with an unusually pious attitude.
Seeing this scene, Charles and Pedro also crossed themselves on their chests and recited eulogies.
…
Nanjing City, Imperial Study Room!
Zhu Hongyu met with the Living Buddha of the Plateau in the imperial study and prepared to practice for him.
After practicing it, Zhu Hongyu will send people 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 give in to Tantric Buddhism.
Instead, the Tantric Sect represented by the Living Buddha took the initiative to bow to the imperial power.
The Ming court reached an agreement with Tantric Buddhism. The Ming Dynasty recognized Tantric Buddhism's special status on the plateau and allowed Tantric Buddhism to spread its teachings around the world.
During this missionary process, the Ming court would provide shelter for the Tantric missionary monks.
The price that Tantric Buddhism had to pay was that the imperial court had to review and revise Tantric Buddhism's teachings.
Certain teachings that are detrimental to society and slanderous to the imperial court will be deleted.
For example, those who use human body materials to make utensils are definitely not allowed by Tantric practitioners.
Also, in the future, the replacement of living Buddhas in Tantric Buddhism must be reported to the court for approval, and the emperor's recognition is required before the soul boy can be reincarnated.
Zhu Hongyu thought of an excuse and euphemistically called it "Drawing Lots from a Golden Urn".
In addition, Tantric Buddhism must fully cooperate with the policy reforms implemented by the imperial court on the plateau, including land reform, emancipation of serfs, religious reform, etc.
And after the Ming Dynasty solves the grassland problem in the future, the Tantric Sect will also come forward to help the Ming Dynasty stabilize the grassland situation.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Zhu Hongyu is now very clearly aware of it.
If you want to stabilize the plateau, the Western Regions, the grasslands and other places, you can't completely turn Tantric Buddhism against you.
Although those lamas were unable to resist the Ming Dynasty's weapons, by virtue of their religious influence, they were able to create obstacles in the areas ruled by the Ming Dynasty and destroy the basic order of the Ming Dynasty.
Soft knives kill people and are the most deadly!
He is the emperor. To the people of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's authority is greater than anything else. Even gods need to be canonized by the emperor.
Otherwise, it is a temple of evil gods!
However, for the minority people outside the Han Dynasty, religion still has a great influence.
If the imperial court wanted to thoroughly implement grassroots political power, it would inevitably have to make compromises with religious forces.
Zhu Hongyu now understands what compromise is the art of politics.
To put it bluntly, this compromise meant that Zhu Hongyu exchanged Tantric Buddhism's surrender to the Ming Dynasty with his promise to protect Tantric Buddhism and spread its teachings around the world.
To be honest, when it comes to preaching to foreign countries, Zhu Hongyu originally favored Taoism.
After all, Taoism is China's native religion, so Zhu Hongyu naturally needs to pay more attention to it.
But there was nothing I could do, the Taoist men lay down flat!
The faces of those Taoist masters all seemed to have the words "If you believe it, believe it, if you don't believe it, go away" and "Mortals, get away, the Taoist master wants to cultivate immortality", what else could Zhu Hongyu do?
Do you expect these guys to preach abroad?
Zhu Hongyu felt that there was no hope!
Then, the only choice left before Zhu Hongyu was Buddhism.
After all, he can't count on the Jesus Cult and the Green Cult, right?
Needless to say about Han Buddhism, Zhu Hongyu will definitely support this little brother who has been trained well by his ancestors.
With the support of the imperial court's policies, a large number of bald monks went to Southeast Asia, Korea, the Plateau, Siberia and other places to conduct missionary activities.
Provide assistance to the court to stabilize the place!
Even the exploratory fleet heading to the New World was accompanied by many great monks.
Of course, the imperial court's support policy for Buddhism also applies to Taoism.
It's just that Taoist men don't care much about preaching, so they just take things as they come.
For Zhu Hongyu, both Chinese Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism are Buddhism.
There is a difference between the two, but Zhu Hongyu doesn't care.
Because the so-called doctrine 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 its foreign missionary work.
It is better to let Tantric lamas preach and seize the right to speak in the world than to watch the Christian missionaries preach and seize the right to speak, while the Ming Dynasty remains indifferent.
"When I return to the plateau this time, I will make sure that the Tantric sect will fully cooperate with the implementation of the imperial policy. Your Majesty, please rest assured." Lan.
The Living Buddha said very respectfully in front of Zhu Hongyu.
The attitude is very spot on.
Zhu Hongyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then spoke.
"I am very relieved that the Tantric side has come to their senses this time and chosen to accept the leadership of the imperial court."
"I hope that the allied forces organized by the imperial court to conquer Burma will soon achieve results and offer me victory."
"At that time, the Tantric side can send monks to help the court control the place and stabilize people's hearts after the imperial army takes over Myanmar."
"The imperial court will provide security guarantees for monks entering Myanmar!" Lan
Zhu Hongyu's meaning is very clear. Since you know each other, I will not be stingy with you.
If I promise to allow you to preach abroad, I will do what I say.
Myanmar was the first sweet spot Zhu Hongyu gave to Tantric Buddhism.
After the Living Buddha returns to the plateau, if the Tantric Sect's subsequent performance satisfies Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu will naturally not mind giving them more sweetness.
But if they dare to violate Zhu Hongyu's yang, then I'm sorry. If the three martial arts and one sect can destroy the Buddha, so can Zhu Hongyu.
The worst that can happen is killing one of them and bleeding like a river!
Upon hearing this, the Living Buddha stood up from his seat, bowed and bowed.
"The poor monk takes the place of the tantric masters. Thank you for your kindness!"
"When the poor monk returns to the plateau, he will definitely pray and recite sutras for His Majesty day and night in front of the Buddha. I hope that Your Majesty can live a long life and be blessed to the sky."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Haha, there's no need to be so polite. Let the Living Buddha be free!"
"I also believe in Buddhism."
When the living Buddha heard this, he smiled and felt like he was in a state of mind.
Do you believe in Buddhism?
I believe you as a ghost!
He didn't see any sign of belief in Buddhism in Zhu Hongyu...
However, in fact, Zhu Hongyu did not lie. He did believe in Buddhism, but his beliefs were more complicated. He believed not only in Buddhism but also in other things.
In addition to believing in Buddhism, he also believes in God, Confucius, ancestors, and science...
If the Ming Dynasty can rule Central Asia and even Western Asia in the future, it is not impossible for him to add Allah to his belief.
If the Ming Dynasty can rule Europe, then another God can be added.
Not a big problem!
As a Chinese emperor, Zhu Hongyu, like his ancestors, had a very flexible bottom line of belief.
He will trust whoever is useful to him!
After the banquet, the Living Buddha chose to say goodbye to Zhu Hongyu and leave.
On Zhu Hongyu's side, he ordered people to form a team to escort the Living Buddha back to the plateau.
…
In the house where the Royal Song and Dance Troupe of the Ming Dynasty hung, the Living Buddha said goodbye to the servants around Zhu Hongyusheng who came to see him off, pronounced the Buddha's name, and turned around to return to the house.
In the house, Dayan Khan and Burni were playing chess under the shade of the trees.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, if you look closer, you will find that they are not playing Go, but only backgammon.
The climate in Nanjing is humid and cold in winter. It is very enjoyable to bask in the sun in the yard after lunch.
Burney was thinking about playing chess, touching his double chin with one hand and holding the chess piece with the other, looking relaxed.
Today, he is much fatter than before. He has been pampered in Nanjing for such a long time, and he knows that Zhu Hongyu will not do anything to him.
A broad heart and naturally fat body!
Burney's figure grew rapidly like a balloon.
Anyway, he usually has nothing to do, and eating has almost become his only hobby.
The same goes for Dayan Khan on the side. Compared with before, 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 Your Majesty say?"
The living Buddha pronounced a Buddha's name with one hand, and then spoke.
"Your Majesty has agreed to the poor monk's return to the plateau!"
"I'm still relaxed about the missionary work of Tantric Buddhism, but from now on, living Buddhas can only reincarnate according to orders." Lan.
When Dayan Khan heard this, the expression on his face was a little complicated.
What he once wanted to do but didn't dare to do was easily accomplished by Zhu Hongyu.
Moreover, now that the living Buddha is allowed to return to the plateau, Dayan Khan probably has little hope in his life.
No matter how arrogant Zhu Hongyu is, he will not let him, a man who once sweated profusely, return to the plateau and return to the mountains.
However, Dayan Khan finally nodded slightly and spoke.
"Congratulations to the Living Buddha!"
After hearing the words, the Living Buddha opened his mouth to wish.
"I believe that the Great Khan will definitely get what he wants in the future!"
When Dayan Khan heard this, he shook his head and said.
"That's it, that's all, don't think about what is and isn't. For the rest of my life, I will just stay here in Nanjing and play chess with Burney to support my retirement."
Dayan Khan has now accepted his fate and no longer expects to be released back to the plateau in the future.
Burni on the side heard the words and spoke.
"I am happy here and don't miss Shu!"
When Dayan Khan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said.
"It's the best, it's the best. I'm so happy here that I don't miss Shu!"
As the two subjugated kings, the Emperor of Heaven did not kill them, but just put them under house arrest.
They don't have to worry about food and clothing, they are always rewarded during holidays and festivals, and there is no one to humiliate or bully them on ordinary days.
This is already considered magnanimous, and they should be content with it.
At the very least, their ending would be much better than that of Kang Mazi in the same courtyard.
Burni and Dayan Khan couldn't help but shudder when they thought of Xiaokangzi's high-pitched voice, it was a bit scary!
The fate of An Le Gong, who was happy to forget about Sichuan, may be the best ending for the two of them.
It’s hard to hope for more!
…
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 they could not occupy much territory, they managed to sweep through most of the Ganges Plain with their iron cavalry in just a few months.
A series of raids, as well as the massacre of the city and the looting of the grass valley after the war, allowed Guan Ning's army to seize a large amount of money, food and supplies.
Since Wu Sangui was determined to settle down in India, he did not transfer the seized money, food and supplies to the Western Regions.
Instead, a gate city was quickly built with cement masonry near the Khyber Pass.
This Guancheng was firstly used as an advancing base for the army, allowing the army's families to have a place to stay and repair, and allowing the army fighting in the front to have a base camp.
The second is that it can be used to hoard the money, food and materials captured by the army in India.
These money, food and materials will become Wu Zhou's most important logistical support after entering India.
This Guancheng Fortress built with cement bricks and stones was named Xinshanhaiguan by Wu Sangui.
And this name also fully reveals Wu Sangui's ambition.
He, Wu Sangui, wants to enter India and establish his Wu family's ten thousand-year foundation.
Even if the King of Heaven comes, I will not be able to retain the Mughal Empire, as Wu Sangui said.
Wu Sangui stood on Guancheng, looking at the endless Ganges Plain in front of him, his eyes full of inexplicable brilliance.
It can be seen that he is very greedy for the great plain in front of him.
As a Han Chinese, Wu Sangui's first reaction after seeing such a large plain was...
"With such a large plain, how much fertile land must be cultivated and how many elite soldiers must be raised!"
Now, Wu Sangui already had a preliminary strategy for governing India after conquering it.
The most important thing is actually farming...Lan
At this moment, a soldier trotted up to Wu Sangui and opened his mouth to report.
"Your Majesty, please see me!"
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, then spoke.
"Bring people here!"
After his words fell, Wu Yingxiong was brought to him not long after.
"My son, please see your father!"
The moment Wu Yingxiong saw Wu Sangui, he bowed obediently.
Wu Sangui nodded slightly and then spoke.
"No gift!"
Wu Yingxiong straightened up, came to his father's side, and then opened his mouth to report.
"Father, I have finished what you asked me to do!"
"This is what I calculated. The amount of population, money and food that I control now..."
While talking, Wu Yingxiong presented a report to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui took the report and started reading it.
Currently, the total population under Wu Zhou's rule is 770,000, of which almost 600,000 are prisoners of war and slaves captured by Guan Ning's army after they entered India.
Most of the remaining ones are Guan Ningjun's family members.
Although the current population under Wu Zhou's rule is not large, its mobilization ability is quite good.
Needless to say, the family members can mobilize all the people at critical moments.
As for the slaves, it goes without saying. Could it be that the master gave the order and the slaves dared to refuse?
Wu Sangui continued to read, and the next item was the amount of money and food Wu Zhou currently had.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Currently, Wu Zhou has roughly 8.1 million shi of grain, including corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous things.
things.lan
This food basically came from the Guan Ning Army's raids on the Ganges Plain.
When Guan Ning's army entered the Ganges Plain, it was the harvest season. You can imagine how much food they could harvest.
Beyond that, there is the issue of money.
Since the coins in India are relatively messy, Wu Yingxiong did not care about the value of the coins when counting them, but simply counted them according to their weight.
The final result was that there were more than 45 million taels of silver and more than 7 million taels of gold.
There are various kinds of jewelry, and if the price is discounted, you can probably get 30 to 40 million taels of silver.
In addition, there are also a large number of local Indian antiques and treasures that are difficult to discount.
This does not include what the soldiers carried in their pockets during the looting process, and the amount was already so staggering.
In this year's campaign, Guan Ning's army has basically become fatter.
This shows the wealth of India!
This was just the Ganges Plain, and in order to pursue the speed of the cavalry's attack, Guan Ning's army did not attack those fortified cities, but only carried out looting on the outskirts of the city.
If Guan Ning's army really swept through the Ganges River Plain, they might gain even more.
Wu Sangui read through the report, pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"The most important thing for me now, Da Zhou, is to achieve self-production of ordnance as soon as possible, and the production capacity of those arsenals must be expanded as soon as possible." Lan.
Now that Wu Zhou has entered the hinterland of India, if he wants to purchase arms from the Ming Dynasty to replenish his army, transportation will become a big problem.
Wu Sangui will continue to purchase some of the ordnance of the elite troops from the Ming Dynasty to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elite troops.
But for the large amount of ordnance needed by the cannon fodder troops, Wu Sangui felt that it was better to produce it on his own.
Otherwise, just transferring it would take a lot of effort.
From the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to India, the distance is more than ten thousand miles?
"Since I am not short of money now, I will try my best to increase investment in ordnance production."
"Even if it is a premium, we must continue to introduce the ordnance production lines of the arsenal from the Ming Dynasty." Lan.
"Even if we spend money, we should try to retain some skilled workers who understand the technology."
When Wu Yingxiong heard this, he bowed and said.
"Father, don't worry, my son and I understand!"
Wu Sangui then spoke.
"Although from the current point of view, I am not short of food in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you must also pay more attention to the management and distribution of food."
"We must ensure that there is no problem with the food and fodder needs of the army fighting on the front line..."
Wu Zhou is not short of food now. The more than 8 million shi of food, even if everyone in Wu Zhou freely eats it, it will be enough for them to last for almost a year and a half.
This is to say that from now on, Wu Zhou will have no more food in his account.
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 care of.
Different types of grain have different characteristics. Some are easy to spoil, some are more durable, and some require special storage methods...
There is knowledge everywhere and key points that need to be paid attention to!
And more importantly, since ancient times, logistics management has been a place where rats are prone to appear.
No matter how caring you are, it’s never too much! Lan
Wu Yingxiong nodded in agreement, his expression very serious.
Wu Sangui slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, the look of fatigue clearly showing on his face.
After all, he is getting 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 his troops to fight now?"
Wu Yingxiong heard this and spoke.
"Father, according to the battle reports sent back from the front line, my second brother has led my main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty and advanced all the way to Lahore, the important town of the Mughal Empire." Lan.
"We are confronting the Mughal Empire's heavy military group, looking for fighter planes!"
"Uncle Guogui led a light cavalry and attacked Delhi directly. They looted and harassed outside the city of Delhi, which greatly shocked the Mughal Empire!"
"We are going to use this method to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements, forcing the Mughal Empire's army to abandon the fortified city and fight in the field with our Guan Ning cavalry."
To put it bluntly, it was the old method used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to invade North Zhili of the Ming Dynasty, intimidate the capital, and encircle the area for reinforcements, forcing the Ming army to engage in field battles with them.
It doesn’t matter if the method is old or not, as long as it works!
