Tens of thousands of troops almost turned the entire city of Delhi upside down and dug out all the treasures that could be found. The originally luxurious palaces and mansions were also destroyed beyond recognition.
Tianzhu people are very impressed by the Middle East and Persia, and they like to show off their wealth. Whether it is personal clothing, clothing, or their residence, these dignitaries, businessmen, etc. like to show off their wealth as much as possible.
A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, precious stones, etc. were used to decorate palaces, mansions, temples, etc., and now they have also been destroyed.
The soldiers who were searching for treasures had no intention of sparing every place here. Even the gold plating on the statues would be scraped off and smelted into gold nuggets. It was like locusts passing through and devouring the entire city of Delhi.
Clean and tidy.
Prince Ning got up from the pile of beauties and rubbed his sore waist.
These Tianzhu beauties are really deadly, each one is more enchanting than the last. If Prince Ning hadn't been an expert in flowers, he might really be unable to get up.
I carefully admired the beauties around me. They were all graceful and fair-skinned. They looked more exotic than the women of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's time to see how much wealth the Delhi Sultanate has accumulated in three hundred years."
Appreciating the perfect man, King Ning also got up, hurriedly had breakfast and came to the square where the treasures were placed. He saw that there were piles of gold and silver treasures here, almost filling the entire square.
"Your Majesty~"
Liu Jiang, who was in charge of the celebration property, saw Prince Ning coming and hurriedly came over with a smile on his face.
"How's the inventory going?"
Prince Ning looked at the property in front of him very casually, neatly arranged gold bricks, silver bricks, boxes and boxes of jewelry, jade, pearls and emeralds, agates, and corals. This time he really made a fortune.
"Go back to your lord~"
"So far, what we have searched and counted is 2 million taels of gold, 80 million taels of silver, and other jewelry, jade, gemstones, etc., which are estimated to be worth about 80 million taels at a discount, with a total value of 180 million taels of silver.
"
Liu Jiang took out the account book drawn up and read it out in detail.
"Only 180 million taels?"
When King Ning heard this, he immediately looked at the mountains of gold, silver, and treasure in front of him, and then said with some disappointment.
"Your Majesty, this is already a huge amount of wealth."
Liu Jiang curled his lips slightly, his prince had such a big appetite, he still had talent for 180 million taels of silver.
"How much wealth did they plunder during the three hundred years they ruled Beitianzhu?"
Of course Prince Ning felt that it was missing.
"The one million Egyptian Canal shares I lost were worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. In the past three hundred years, in such a rich place as Tianzhu, they have only plundered less than 200 million taels of silver."
"There must be a lot of wealth that has not been recovered. I will torture those princes, ministers and others severely and force me to find out the whereabouts of this wealth."
"I don't believe it. The whole of Tianzhu is so rich, and this northern Tianzhu is the richest place. How can it be possible that in three hundred years, there is only a little wealth."
Prince Ning said dissatisfied: "Our Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue exceeds 200 million taels of silver. Their taxes are set so high, and Tianzhu has always been located in the middle zone between east and west."
"They should have made a fortune just by doing trade in the middle. It must be more than just a few orders."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will immediately order people to torture those princes and ministers."
"However, when we were attacking the city, some people took the initiative to open their doors and surrender to us. Should we give these people preferential treatment?"
Liu Jiang nodded quickly in agreement, then thought about it and said again.
"If those who surrender to the enemy and treason are worthy of preferential treatment, I will spare them their lives and sell them all to me as slaves to the Southeast Asian or African colonies."
"A slave can be sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver. How many prisoners have been captured in Delhi?"
When Prince Ning heard this, he said without thinking.
Their own army is invincible and invincible. Wherever they need to open the door, they can just as easily open the door with a few bags of explosives stacked over it.
What's more, each of these princes and ministers must have a lot of wealth. How can I let them go after finally winning a battle? I have to squeeze out all their value.
"More than three hundred thousand people."
Liu Jiang quickly replied.
"Three hundred thousand people, each of them is sold wholesale, each for twenty taels of silver, which is more than six million taels of silver. They are all sold, transported out through the Indus River, and sold."
"Also, I heard that the governors in various places are all local emperors. They don't listen to the Sultan's orders at all and establish their own small kingdoms in various places."
"Tell Qin Yuan to send troops to attack the governors of various places as soon as possible and seize as much territory as possible."
"I estimate that if the Western United Trading Company and the Zhang brothers learn that we have entered Delhi, they will definitely speed up the pace and rhythm of the attack. Now is the time to grab territory, whoever grabs it will get it."
"This king is not just our King Ning, there are also those Koreans, Japanese, Zheng, Shu, etc. who want to share the meat. If we don't grab more, we won't have much by then."
Prince Ning thought for a while and said.
After the Delhi Sultanate was defeated, there was no decent resistance force in the entire northern Tianzhu.
The remaining Turks, Afghan nobles, governors and the like who are scattered throughout the country are nothing to worry about, and dealing with them is just a matter of hands.
As for the local Aryan tribes in Northern Tianzhu, they have basically lost their main strength after passing through Rana~Sangha, and the rest are not of concern.
So the thing now is to seize the time to seize the territory.
After carving up Northern Tianzhu, it is basically impossible to expand territory here in the future, because everyone is a vassal state, a colony, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a dispute between each other, they should sit down and settle down.
Negotiate interests.
"Yes~"
Liu Jiang nodded quickly, and then the ministers of Ning State went to convey King Ning's order.
"Your Majesty, we searched a yellow book of the Delhi Sultanate in the treasury of the Delhi Sultanate. According to the numbers recorded above, the entire area under the jurisdiction of the Delhi Sultanate has a total population of more than 80 million and a total land area of more than 30 million people.
Hundreds of millions of acres.”
Then, Liu Jiang took out another notebook and reported in detail the population and cultivated land situation of the Delhi Sultanate.
"Eighty million people?"
"Three hundred million acres of cultivated land?"
When Prince Ning heard this, he couldn't help being startled.
It is unbelievable to say that a country with such a huge population, 300 million acres of arable land, such a vast area, and such wealth was wiped out by me so easily.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book were searched from the Baniya merchants who were responsible for collecting taxes. During the period when the Delhi Sultanate was powerful, they conducted statistics on the entire country's population and land, so it has always been
To this day, taxes are collected based on this data."
Liu Jiang nodded solemnly.
"I can't believe that we destroyed a country with such a huge population and land with only tens of thousands of people?"
After hearing this, Prince Ning shook his head and couldn't believe it.
The population and land of Tianzhu are almost the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, but there is a huge difference between the two. The Ming Dynasty dominated the world, but Tianzhu is everyone's meal, and they are competing to carve it up.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the total number of Turks and Afghans in the Delhi Sultanate is not that big. The total number may be less than 500,000. They have also ruled this land for three hundred years."
"Despite their large population, the vast majority of them are actually low-caste people. Low-caste people basically do not have their own land and property, and they make a living by farming and working for high-caste nobles, landlords, etc."
"They basically have no feeling about foreign invaders. However, the local dominant high castes have a small population and cannot mobilize the majority of the low castes. Therefore, since ancient times, this Tianzhu continent has always been invaded by foreign invaders.
Invaders give invasion, rule.”
"If we want to rule here for a long time, we must make full use of the caste system and the religious system here, improve and utilize them, and ensure the status and identity of our Ming people. In this way, although our number is small, we can still
Rule here for a long time."
Liu Jiang also explained in detail.
No matter how you look at the population, land, wealth, etc. on this Tianzhu continent, it should become a powerful country, not an object that everyone can bully.
But the opposite is true. Although Tianzhu Continent has a large population, they are all of low caste. In the eyes of high castes, they are not considered human beings at all and cannot participate in any national affairs. They only need to serve high castes like them.
Furthermore, the Tianzhu Continent itself is torn apart, with hundreds of kingdoms, large and small, scattered, numerous ethnic groups, and diverse religious beliefs. All of these have resulted in the Tianzhu Continent being invaded and ruled by foreigners many times.
"Well, you go back and talk to Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Liu to change the caste system in our Ning country and formulate a system based on the situation here. We have few Han people and it is not easy to rule here for a long time.
Easy thing."
When Prince Ning heard this, he pondered for a long time and nodded.
Ningguo swallowed up such a huge land at once. There were originally few Han people, but now there are even fewer. Without a good system, it is not easy to rule here for a long time.
Prince Ning also realized this very clearly.
"Yes, Your Majesty~"
Liu Jiang nodded quickly.
At this time, Zu Dao and Dongfang Ming from the Japanese state, Pu Yuanzong from the Korean state, Qiao Kang, the minister of the Shu state, and others also came over with smiles on their faces.
