The Mughal Emperor Humayun rides on horseback in the valleys of Burma.
On both sides of the valley, there are undulating mountains everywhere. The trees on the mountains are lush and green, covering the entire field of vision, making the whole world look green.
If there is anything in Myanmar that can leave a deep impression on people, it must be the mountains and forests.
Among the mountains and woods, the only way to walk is a winding path. This path is only two meters wide, but it is already an official road in Myanmar.
At this time, the dirt road was crowded with noble private soldiers from India. These soldiers were carrying machetes and various muskets on their backs, and were slowly advancing in a long queue. The two hundred thousand troops were like a boundless army.
For ants, you can't see the head from the front and the tail from the back.
Behind the army was a baggage train of more than 100,000 people, making the whole team even more majestic.
Humayun walked in the middle of the huge army.
After living in the cool climates of Afghanistan and Persia for a long time, he was already a little uncomfortable with the hot and humid weather. Wiping the sweat on his head, Humayun said: "The mountains and forests in Myanmar are so dense!"
The Dutch envoy Weltman followed Humayun and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the denser the mountains and woods, the better for us. Li Zhi's best thing is firearms, but Li Zhi's firearms cannot be used in the mountains and forests.
If it unfolds, the war can only turn into hand-to-hand combat."
"Li Zhi only has 100,000 people, and we have 200,000 people. As long as the war turns into a sword fight, victory will definitely belong to us."
There was no expression on Humayun's face. He was a man with an extremely peaceful personality. A person like him should not have been a monarch, but his bloodline forced him to become an emperor who constantly made demands from the outside world. Now, he wants to be with
The most powerful Li Zhi in the world fights.
However, Humayun believed that he would definitely win this battle.
Not only because the 200,000 Mogul army was twice as many as the Ming people, but also because the Moguls did not fight alone. Behind Humayun were the Dutch, and the Dutch had already pulled in the Ming Dynasty's Jiangbei Army and Tsarist Russia.
In this war, Humayun saw Li Zhi facing a three-party siege.
According to the intelligence provided by the Dutch, the Jiangbei Army had gathered 200,000 people, which Li Zhi was unable to stop.
What Humayun didn't know was that at this time, both the Tsarist Russian Cossacks and the Jiangbei Army had been defeated by Li Zhi.
This bad news had reached the Dutch in Batavia. But the Dutch did not convey the news they had just received to Humayun.
The Dutch hoped that there would be a force that could slow down Li Zhi's expansion, otherwise Li Zhi would soon reach Java and occupy the Dutch Batavia.
And just looking at the comparison of military strength in Myanmar, Humayun does have the upper hand.
The soldiers and horses Humayun brought out were not Indians. These soldiers and horses were private soldiers of nobles from various Indian states. Most of them were Persians and Central Asians who had been killed in Central Asia. These soldiers were all professional warriors and their combat effectiveness was very impressive.
, the ability to use swords is not inferior to that of Li Zhi's Japanese samurai.
Compared with the Yizi camp where the bandits came from, the combat effectiveness of these Central Asian professional soldiers is probably much higher.
In the dense forests of Southeast Asia, the role of firearms is extremely limited. Shooting at charging enemies in dense forests covered by trees often misses the target due to the high-speed movement of the target. Moreover, once the two armies come into contact, the firearms will be completely lost.
Effect. In the end, the two armies entangled can only result in a hand-to-hand melee.
Therefore, in a terrain like Myanmar, Humayun was sure of victory.
Weltman said loudly: "Your Majesty, as long as you defeat Li Zhi's 100,000 miscellaneous army, you will be the master of India and Myanmar."
"We the Dutch will continue to sell you weapons and let the Mughal Empire completely unify southern India. Then you will become the greatest conqueror in the world."
Humayun couldn't help but laugh after hearing Weltman's words.
Even a person with a quiet personality like him could not help but be attracted by the wonderful prospects described by Weltman. After living in exile in Persia for many years, Humayun thought that he would never return to India in his life. However, unexpectedly, in a twist of events, he actually returned to India within two years.
He relied on advanced firearms to fight his way back to Delhi. Now, he is marching towards Burma, which the Mughal Empire had never conquered.
Humayun said loudly: "Dear Dutch envoy, you can rest assured that our Mughal Empire will become the strongest fortress in the Indian Ocean, blocking Li Zhi's expansion to the east of India, and will never let Li Zhi move forward.
Take a step."
Weltman smiled and said: "God bless you, great Mughal Emperor."
The troops kept moving forward, but saw several mounted scouts running in front of them.
The scouts passed through the checkpoints and rode directly in front of Humayun. Jumping off their horses, the scouts said to Humayun: "Your Majesty, a hundred miles ahead, Ming soldiers and horses are attacking us on their own initiative."
Humayun asked: "How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty?"
"The people of the Ming Dynasty used all the soldiers and horses in Myanmar, probably more than 100,000 people."
Humayun was stunned.
More than 100,000 Ming people did not hide in the city and defend it, but instead attacked and faced the 200,000 troops of the Mughal Empire? Are the Ming people crazy?
He looked at Weltman.
Weltman thought for a while and said: "Li Zhi's general Li Laosi must have gone crazy under the tremendous pressure. He trained in the mountains of Myanmar for five months and finally realized that he had no way to hide.
Just attack them and die."
Humayun thought for a long time and felt that the Ming people had no chance of winning.
The Mughal Central Asian warriors conquered India and would eventually conquer Burma. Li Zhi's 100,000 miscellaneous army was no match at all.
After tomorrow's victory, Humayun will turn all Ming and Japanese soldiers into slaves of the Mughal Empire.
He raised his right hand high, pointed forward and said: "The whole army moves forward and strives to reach the battlefield tomorrow to fight the Ming people for a decisive battle."
"After the great victory, all Myanmar's land and population will be given to the soldiers who participated in the war."
Upon hearing Humayun's order, the surrounding Mughal generals looked at each other for a while, secretly thinking that this was definitely a generous promise.
The messenger rode out and informed every soldier in the army of the Mughal Emperor's generous reward.
Hearing the roar of the messengers, the soldiers from Central Asia were all happy. What these Indian conquerors longed for most was land and slaves. As long as they had these things, they could thrive in the southern colonies without worrying about food and clothing.
Descendants.
A Mughal emperor who was generous and could unite all Central Asian warriors was a great hero.
They raised their swords and shouted in unison: "Humayun!"
"Humayun!"
"Humayun!"
The sound roared like a tsunami, echoing back and forth in the mountains of Myanmar, deafening and deafening.
