A group of people were shocked when they heard what Omar said.
Especially the representatives sent by Aurangzeb, their expressions changed: "Sultan, what does this mean?"
This Mumbai Port is the territory of their Mughal Empire!
What do you call the Ottoman Empire, bypassing the Port of Mumbai? Does this mean that the Mughals are so vulnerable in front of the Ottoman army? This is a slap in the face!
Everyone else also looked like they were laughing.
Who among those present does not know that the Mughal Empire and the Putu Kingdom are feuding?
Omar laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Hamoud, I am just discussing the matter! Don't you know what is going on in the Mughals?"
Others also looked at each other in confusion.
Only then did I realize that things really weren't that simple.
Regardless of the current Mughal Empire, under the leadership of Aurangzeb, it is indeed the largest in territory, but because Aurangzeb was in the country, his father's tolerance for religion was destroyed. After he ascended the throne, he began to
He prohibited Indians from building temples, prohibited his subjects from building new temples, and even levied a poll tax on Hindus and Sikhs. Not only that, because of years of war, Aurangzeb also increased taxes on his subjects.
This made the Mughal governors extremely dissatisfied.
Continuous ethnic and religious uprisings were also common in the Mughal Empire.
The largest among them was the uprising of the Marathi people. And these Marathi people were active in the Mumbai area.
As mentioned before, the Bombay area was the largest producer of grain in the entire Mughals.
The Marathi people occupied Bombay, which naturally made Aurangzeb's campaign plan very stretched. It also caused domestic conflicts to escalate.
Since ancient times, the best way to resolve domestic conflicts is unlimited expansion, not to mention a war maniac like Aurangzeb?
No food?
Then go grab it!
This is why, this time, Aurangzeb took the lead in starting trouble in Central Asia.
But now...
Omar said this.
It cheered up the spirits of many people.
yes.
Bombay Port is such a key place. Will the Marathi people take advantage of the situation and do something? Today, Aurangzeb, who always likes to lead personal expeditions, is still leading his army towards the Bukhara Khanate.
Who can guarantee that there will be no chaos in the Mughal country?
"this......"
"Omar is right..."
"Then what should we do?"
All of a sudden, the group of people who had just been arguing about sharing the cake were all panicked.
A bunch of idiots!
Omar smiled coldly, stood next to the map, pointed at the Port of Mumbai with his hand, and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, the Port of Mumbai must be the key to this war... and this is the only possibility, Osman
Only then can we participate..."
"so......"
"No matter how many Ottomans come, we will stop them here!"
A cunning look flashed in Omar's eyes: "I, the Kingdom of Putu, will send out 100,000 elite soldiers!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
One hundred thousand?
Everyone knows that the Putu Kingdom is powerful. There are 300,000 troops in the country, ready to go. This time, he only sent 50,000 troops to Bukhara.
It turns out that I was waiting here...
"Okay, we'll also pay 50,000!"
"We also offer fifty thousand!"
"Stop the Ottoman army!"
Others also agreed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Hamoud's expression changed drastically: "No way!"
The Mumbai area is the southernmost place of the Mughals. If the army of the Putu Kingdom is allowed to march straight in, wouldn't it open up the entire Mughal area to the Putu cavalry?
This is something the Mughals will never allow!
But others don't think so.
"Hamoud, the overall situation is the most important thing. What do you mean?"
"That is, if the Ottoman army reaches the Mughals, can you stop it without us?"
Hamud retorted with an ugly face: "We Mughals still have an army of 300,000!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
One person hummed: "With an army of 300,000, we can't even quell your Mughal civil strife. Who can defend Bombay Port?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Three hundred thousand...is three hundred thousand really enough for the Mughals?"
The territory of the Mughals was too vast, civil strife continued, and an army of 300,000 people could not win the war just by running around. This is a fact recognized by everyone.
"But, this is not allowed..."
Hamoud argued hard.
However, it is of no use anymore.
This military meeting was attended by several countries. Perhaps if Aurangzeb were here, he would still have a strong say. A mere Hamud would not be able to compete with them.
