After arranging the procedures required for the establishment of the East India Company, Zhu Han continued to lead the Ming army to launch successive attacks on the Delhi Sultanate.
The Sultan of Delhi, Firuz Shah, had been frightened by the Ming army.
In order to make the Ming army stop attacking, Firuz Shah couldn't wait to send people to ask for peace from the Ming army.
Because the situation in the Delhi Sultanate has become very bad now.
Firuz Shah no longer has the capital to fight any longer.
You must know that in the Delhi Sultanate, the real foundation is composed of the middle and upper class Tianfang believers.
All the Tianfang believers in the Delhi Sultanate can only muster less than 200,000 troops at all costs.
In just one battle at the foot of New Dali City, Zhu Han wiped out 40,000 to 50,000 of them.
Moreover, these 40,000 to 50,000 people are all the elite among the elite.
The Delhi Sultanate was in dire straits.
If he encounters such a big defeat again, Firuz Shah will no longer be the sultan and will directly become the king of subjugation.
And after suffering this huge defeat, the finances of the Delhi Sultanate also fell into a huge crisis.
Seeing the opportunity, the Brahmanical separatist forces in various places rebelled in various places and stopped paying taxes and tributes to the Sultan of Delhi.
The river mercenaries led by Timur, because they could not get the commissions that should belong to them from the Delhi Sultanate, all unceremoniously took it themselves.
However, when mercenaries like Timur took away their commissions, they did not obtain the consent of their masters.
Moreover, when they left, they set several fires, burned several cities and warehouses, and robbed thousands of women from the Delhi Sultanate.
The Delhi Sultanate instantly fell into internal and external troubles.
Firuz Shah's original arrogance as the sultan has disappeared.
Prince Manuel, the younger brother of the Sultan, served as a plenipotentiary envoy and brought a large number of looted treasures to personally pray for peace from the Ming army.
Zhu Han knew clearly that it was completely impossible to eat the Tianzhu continent in one bite.
This kind of thing can only happen step by step and slowly.
Therefore, after Zhu Han considered it for a while, he agreed to the Delhi Sultanate's proposal for peace.
The peace conditions proposed by Firuz Shah are as follows. The Delhi Sultanate completely gives up all its control over Bengal, that is, the new Dali area, and recognizes that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Delhi Sultanate is willing to engage in peaceful trade with the Ming Dynasty, and will not collect taxes.
Give huge discounts. The Ming Dynasty cannot support the rebels in the Delhi Sultanate.
As for the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate captured by the Ming army during the war, the Delhi Sultan will pay a ransom on a per-head basis.
It must be said that these requirements are basically reasonable and very consistent with Zhu Han's strategy for the Delhi Sultanate.
However, after agreeing to all the conditions, Zhu Han also made his own request.
"The Delhi Sultanate is not allowed to form an alliance with Chen Youliang's rebels."
"Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate is now a guest in the Ming Dynasty's army, and she is now very yearning for the prosperous and powerful Ming Dynasty, and she wants to go to the east. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Ming Dynasty is willing to conclude an agreement with Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate.
A friendly marriage and let her become the prince's concubine."
Prince Manuel agreed to these requests made by Zhu Han without hesitation.
The Ming Dynasty has already reached its doorstep. As long as the Delhi Sultanate is not a fool, it is impossible to form an alliance and marriage with Chen Youliang.
As for Princess Alina, she has been trapped in the Ming army for such a long time. With her beauty and allure, it is impossible to keep her chastity. In this case, it is better to let her really marry the Ming prince.
The Ming Dynasty and the Delhi Sultanate quickly reached an agreement on peace.
The Ming Dynasty established the East India Company here and was busy digesting and absorbing this rich land.
After ensuring border security, the Delhi Sultanate was busy quelling rebellions, large and small, within its own borders.
actually.
When Zhu Han proposed to the Sudang Kingdom of Delhi about marrying Princess Alina, he simply got on the bus first and then bought the ticket.
After all, with such a beautiful woman full of Tianzhu charm by his side, if Zhu Han didn't eat her up, he would be sorry for his current status.
New Dali City, a brand new building, rises from the ground.
This is the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty East India Company in Tianzhu.
at the same time.
This is also the temporary residence of King Zhu Han of the Ming Dynasty.
Night falls quietly.
In the ornately decorated room, dozens of bright golden wax candles emitted a blushing candlelight.
More than a dozen stunning Tianzhu beauties, wearing light clothes, were serving Zhu Han and Princess Alina in the room.
For many years, Zhu Han has been practicing sports such as horse riding and archery, which has made his body extremely strong.
Otherwise, these consecutive days of in-depth interactions with Princess Alina would have long ago made him exhausted.
After another sweaty struggle, Princess Alina transformed into a gentle kitten and curled up next to Zhu Han.
At first, Princess Alina was very afraid of these sudden arrivals of the Ming army, and she was even more frightened of Zhu Han.
but.
After being influenced by Zhu Han's personal actions, Princess Alina has become completely obsessed with this Ming prince.
"Now that the Ming Dynasty and the Delhi Sultanate have become friendly countries, we are no longer enemies, and I have just received news that your two brothers died during the battle with the rebels. In this way, your father will
I no longer have a biological son." Zhu Han put his arm around Princess Alina's shoulders and said.
It has to be said that the subsequent chain reaction of the Ming army's defeat of the Delhi Sultanate was very strong. Brahmins in various parts of Tianzhu rebelled one after another, and the Delhi Sultanate also paid a heavy price in quelling the internal chaos.
Both sons of Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah died at the hands of Brahmin rebels.
"Ali and Hula, they are both brave warriors. Even if they die, they can go to heaven!" Princess Alina said calmly.
Obviously, Princess Alina did not feel any sadness about the death of her two brothers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are many women in the harem of Sultan Firuz Shah. Princess Alina and these two brothers were not born from the same mother at all, and there is not much brother-sister relationship at all.
"Firuz Shah Sultan is already a little overwhelmed. He sent people to ask me for help. He plans to spend a lot of gold and silver to buy the powerful firearms in my hand." Zhu Han said while rubbing her beautiful back.
Upon hearing this, Princess Alina immediately asked curiously, "How could such a powerful weapon be sold to others so easily?"
When Zhu Han heard this, he was speechless.
Girls are outward-facing. This psychological change seems to be a common problem not only in China, but also among girls all over the world.
In just a few days, Princess Alina has already placed herself in Zhu Han's camp, and her father Firuz Shah, who she originally regarded as her savior, has become someone else in her mouth.
"Sell, of course we have to sell. The Delhi Sultanate has reached peace with us, so business will naturally be done." Zhu Han said with a smile.
In fact, Zhu Han's real consideration is that the Delhi Sultanate must not fall easily now.
As a country established by a foreign religious military group, the Delhi Sultanate will adopt a high-pressure alert state against the Brahmans who have a numerical advantage within the territory.
As a result, even if the Delhi Sultanate quelled this rebellion, its subsequent rule would be full of turmoil.
As long as the Delhi Sultanate does not fall, there will be no peace in the Tianzhu continent, and Ming can calmly encroach on the colony.
And if the Delhi Sultanate fell to the Brahmin rebellion, then the next regime to come to power would definitely belong to the local Brahmins of India.
Brahmins have an absolute advantage here. Once they gain power, they will immediately become a strong opponent.
so.
Zhu Han will never let the Delhi Sultanate perish now.
"I have sent someone to agree to your father's request, but I also put forward a condition." Zhu Han continued.
Princess Alina twisted her waist and asked, "What request did Your Highness make?"
"My request is to win an inheritance right for you!" Zhu Han said.
When Princess Alina heard this, she sat up in surprise.
Before you know it, the infinite scenery is revealed.
Zhu Han showed a playful smile, and Princess Alina hurriedly covered it while continuing to ask.
"In our teachings, women cannot have the right to inherit."
"It didn't happen before, but it can happen now."
In fact, when Zhu Han gave the inheritance rights of the Delhi Sultanate to Princess Alina, he did not really care about the throne of the Delhi Sultanate. He just wanted to give himself an excuse to send troops against the Delhi Sultanate in the future.
When the East India Company of the Ming Dynasty gains a firm foothold in the future, there will inevitably be a war with the Delhi Sultanate.
As the saying goes, only those who have a famous teacher can win first.
Zhu Han was just making a plan in advance for the future war.
But how could Princess Alina guess Zhu Han's long-term plan?
She simply thought that Zhu Han valued herself and had obtained a unique privilege for herself.
Princess Alina was suddenly moved again when she thought that she was being taken seriously, even to the extent that her devout father ignored his teachings.
immediately.
Princess Alina tried one trick to stop it, and then personally started fighting Zhu Han again.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhu Han, as a dignified prince of the Ming Dynasty, give up easily?
Since Princess Alina was using her words, Zhu Han resorted to subverting the situation.
As soon as the Ming Dynasty East India Company was established, various large orders came in one after another.
As long as they are weapons produced by the Ming Dynasty, whether they are swords, guns, swords and halberds, armor, crossbows, or low-end versions of muskets and artillery, they have all become best-sellers.
Not only could the Delhi Sultanate purchase weapons from the Ming Dynasty, but the various Brahmin rebels within its territory could also secretly smuggle weapons from the Ming Dynasty.
War is really the best business.
In less than two months, under Zhu Han's arrangement, the Ming East India Company earned one million taels of silver just after it opened.
Moreover, the scale of the war between the Delhi Sultanate and the Brahmins is getting bigger and bigger, and the profits of the Ming East India Company will grow even more rapidly in the future.
The war not only brought massive amounts of gold and silver, but also made the slave trade more convenient.
After several purchases, the Delhi Sultanate no longer had much gold and silver reserves to purchase weapons from the Ming Dynasty.
so.
After Zhu Han agreed, the army of the Delhi Sultanate began to plunder the Brahmin population to pay the bill.
Men could become slaves for the East India Company and grow grain and sugar cane in Bengal.
After being screened at all levels, female slaves had their own destination according to their rank. The best destinations were assigned to soldiers of the Ming army, while the middle-class ones were trafficked back to the Ming Dynasty and then sold to wealthy families to serve as female slaves.
As for the lowest-level destination, they were assigned to male slaves and worked on the farm for their entire lives.
Colonial plunder was so bloody, cruel and violent. Anyway, it was not the people of the Ming Dynasty who suffered the torture, and Zhu Han was not willing to be a holy mother at all.
Because of the arrival of the Ming army, the situation in Tianzhu continent was turned upside down.
Zhu Han was happy to see this situation. As long as the Ming Dynasty acted as a middle force and allowed both sides of the war to extend the fighting time as much as possible, the Ming Dynasty would benefit immensely.
This operation is actually very simple. It is nothing more than supporting whichever faction is weaker.
After several teachings, Zhu Han could safely act as the shopkeeper and leave the corresponding disposal rights to Duan Gong.
Zhu Han used this period of time to urge his craftsmen to make as many merchant ships as possible.
In two months' time, the eastward monsoon will usher in.
Zhu Han returned to the Ming Dynasty this time. The only trouble he had was that the number of ships under his command was too few. There were not enough ships to carry large quantities of gold, silver, goods and female slaves back.
Just when Zhu Han was urging his craftsmen to work overtime to make the ship.
Zhu Han suddenly received the notice.
"Your Highness, the ship is here, Tanghe's fleet is back!"
Zhang Dingbian, who was in charge of commanding the navy, hurriedly came to report to Zhu Han.
"What, that's great. Tang He came at the right time." Zhu Han was overjoyed when he heard this.
He was worried that there were too many goods and slave girls in his hands and there were not enough ships to transport them. Tang He unexpectedly came back.
You must know that the fleet under Tang He was almost the same as that led by Zhu Han.
And relatively speaking, the number of merchant ships in Tanghe's fleet is larger.
In this way, Zhu Han could basically transport all the gold, silver, property and female slaves back to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Han immediately sent Zhang Dingbian to the front to welcome Tang He's return.
But after meeting Tang He.
Zhu Han was dumbfounded.
Because Tanghe's fleet carrying capacity is already full.
Even compared to Zhu Han, the batch of goods Tang He shipped from Persia was even more outstanding.
There were boat after boat of white female slaves, almost more than 3,000 people.
In addition to these female slaves, Tang He also brought back a large number of sheep, war horses, etc. that were native to Persia in the Western Regions.
These are very fine livestock species and are very rare in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Han attaches great importance to these things. Naturally, he cannot leave them here in Tianzhu and must bring them back to the Great Destruction.
"Your Highness, I have set up a Persian Protectorate in Persia, leaving hundreds of soldiers to garrison the fort. From then on, my Ming Dynasty's navy has a foothold in Persia." Tang He said to Zhu respectfully.
Han saluted and said.
Tang He acted very cautiously and maturely, and never took credit for himself in front of Zhu Han, or acted like an old brother.
"That's great. I've set up a foothold here in Tianzhu, and you've set up another one in Persia. From now on, my Ming Dynasty's navy can travel unimpeded in the Western Ocean."
Zhu Han knew the importance of land bases for ocean navigation.
After Zhu Han met Tang He, he streamlined and screened all the goods.
When the monsoon came, they took the eastward direction and embarked on the voyage back to Daming.
After Tang He and Zhu Han made two voyages to the West, the small city-states in Nanyang were already trembling with fear from the Ming Dynasty.
