By the time the most elite members of the Mughal Imperial Army fled, the entire battlefield collapsed!
The knight lords of the Mughal Empire rampaged across the battlefield, wielding their swords at anyone who blocked their escape, whether they were humans or animals.
In order to escape, these knight lords went out of their way to kill others and kill Buddhas when they blocked them. The light infantry in the Mughal Empire army did not dare to fight back and could only avoid them as much as possible.
This battlefield is completely in ruins and a mess.
Of course, there are also things that are not messy.
Those who are not in chaos are those in the Ming army.
Seeing that the Mughal Empire army was about to flee, the Ming cavalry immediately accelerated their speed and began to rush in and pursue them.
Every cavalry officer is already very proficient in skills such as pursuit and killing.
Those Mughals are still forming positions, so they attack that place; anyway, as long as there is order, none of them are allowed, and they are the first target of the cavalry. Whether it is driving away the defeated soldiers, or directly charging to kill them, in short, it is
To disperse the Mughal Empire army.
When the soldiers of the Ming army were chasing and killing, they had even learned the official language of the Mughal Empire. While chasing and killing, they shouted: "Kneel down and surrender without killing!"
The army of the Ming Dynasty has always followed a principle: God has the virtue of good life, and if he can avoid killing, he will not commit murder. These are all free labor, how can they be wasted!
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were behind the enemy, chasing and chasing them unhurriedly. The infantry no longer hid behind the car camp, but followed the cavalry to clean the battlefield and collect prisoners.
At the top of Dhaka City, looking at the backs of the cavalry soldiers chasing after them, Yang Weizhi put down his telescope, turned to look at Zheng Zhibao standing beside him and said: "It seems that the rainy season is over, and the Mughal Empire army will immediately
Come and attack. In this case, our Ganges Battle will be launched and we will invade the hinterland of the Mughal Empire army. It’s time for you to go out and capture Colombo, which was captured by the Dutch, and then go to Gogo with the Portuguese.
Ah, land from there to launch a coordinated offensive against the Mughal Empire!"
"General, I obey!" After hearing this, Zheng Zhibao immediately accepted the order and shouted back. Then he hesitated a little and asked Yang Wei, "Master Zhongcheng, what if Goa is also taken by the Dutch?"
The Portuguese were still too weak. Along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and in Nanyang, they were constantly bullied by the Dutch, who took away all the Portuguese territory.
A while ago, it was already known here that Colombo was also robbed by the Dutch.
Based on this information, Zheng Zhibao was a little worried that the Portuguese territory in Goa might also be taken away by the Dutch.
Therefore, he asked this question.
After hearing this, Yang Weizhi pondered for a moment. According to the news from the court, Goa was always under the control of the Portuguese.
However, the court has also given clear reminders that news is changing rapidly and cannot be rigid and dogmatic.
Now that Zheng Zhibao raised this possibility, Yang Weizhi thought about it for a while and then replied: "If Goa is robbed by the Dutch, that's just right. You can take it back and build Goa into the next supply point of the Ming Dynasty!"
"
After a pause, he added to Zheng Zhibao: "When Yang Zhan's navy arrives, I will ask him to go and meet you as soon as possible."
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.
At this time, he was not worried about the conventional reinforcements of Yang Zhan's navy that did not know when they would arrive, but on the contrary, at this time, he was very unwilling that Yang Zhan's navy would arrive soon.
Apart from the small and medium-sized warships that participated in the Battle of the Ganges, there are at least more than 400 warships under Zheng Zhibao's command suitable for maritime operations.
Such a huge warship is completely enough to deal with the Dutch fleet. Zheng Zhibao has the confidence to defeat the Dutch on the Dongwu Sea side.
However, he also knew that the ultimate goal of the imperial court was not to compete with the Dutch for the Dongwu Sea, but to continue to advance westward.
Every new territory required troops to defend, and he was not sure how many new enemies there would be. After all, he had never been to such a far place. Therefore, the imperial court mobilized the navy and launched a steady stream of attacks.
Come here, he has no reason to object.
Therefore, after Zheng Zhibao heard Yang Weizhi's words, he secretly made up his mind to move quickly and capture Colombo and even Goa before Yang Zhan's navy arrived.
So, he stopped writing, immediately said goodbye to Yang Weizhi, led his navy and headed west along the coastline.
Yang Weizhi did not go to see him off. This does not mean that he has a high official position and wants to put on airs, but that he has many things to be busy with.
According to the decree of the imperial court, once the war started on his side, the Mughal Empire would be caught off guard, and the Battle of the Ganges must be launched as soon as possible.
To attack along the Ganges River to the hinterland of the Mughal Empire, the total number of troops at hand, including the navy and army, was only about 100,000.
And his opponent is the entire Mughal Empire, a country about the same size as the Ming Dynasty, with a very large population. When the Ming Dynasty army breaks into the hinterland of the Mughal Empire, it is likely to encounter the main force of the Mughal Empire army to intercept it.
, a big battle is inevitable.
For such a situation, it would be false to say that there is no pressure.
Therefore, Yang Weizhi had to make as many preparations as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the war.
Not to mention, there is still a lot to do after a great victory under the city.
……………………
During the time when the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army and the Mughal Empire army began to fight, the north of the Ming Dynasty was already feeling cool.
However, in Zijin City, the square where Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall are located can be said to be crowded with people.
Of course, the crowds in Purple City are different from the crowds in ordinary markets outside.
First of all, those who are qualified to enter the Purple Gold City are those who have a good reputation, and these people either have a high level of fame or are valued by the emperor. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to enter the Purple Gold City.
Secondly, although the number of people is very large, they are actually very orderly. Civil servants, military officers, craftsmen, students and teachers from the Academy of Sciences, etc., all stand according to their respective ranks, and no one dares to go beyond the etiquette.
At this time, everyone's faces were very excited. They were all looking at something covered with red cloth on the side of Wenhua Hall, and they were all whispering.
"I heard that this thing is a simplified version of a steam train. Maybe the government will be able to use this thing in the future!"
"That's right, riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair are too ordinary. This thing is great!"
"You are wrong. This is not a simplified version of the steam train. I heard news from the Academy of Sciences that this thing is much more advanced than the steam train!"
"I've also heard that this is not powered by a steam engine. Otherwise, if you all use this thing to go to court, can you imagine that the whole street will be smoked?"
"Is it possible that this thing doesn't emit smoke? That's not bad! Think about it, if it were powered by a steam engine, our capital city of the Ming Dynasty would probably be called the Smoke City!"
"Then what exactly is this thing powered by?"
"This is said to be confidential, but since the Emperor is going to try it in person in front of the public, it must be made public. You will know it soon!"
"..."
While they were discussing, Emperor Chongzhen arrived with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was in a good mood!
Prince Zhu Cixiang also followed the emperor. Since the last time he left the capital for a private visit, he has been following the emperor more and more often.
After all the civil and military officials paid tribute, Emperor Chongzhen was heard standing in front of the red cloth, holding an electric horn in his hand, and said with a little excitement: "I summoned all the ministers here today to let you witness together, the Ming Dynasty,
It’s also the first car in the world!”
It turns out that this thing under the red cloth is called a car?
After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, all the courtiers knew what was under the red cloth. Then, they all became curious again, what did this so-called car look like?
Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't let them wait any longer. He waved his hand, and Fang Yizhi, who was standing next to the big red cloth, pulled hard and immediately pulled off the red cloth.
When the civil and military officials present saw it, they immediately looked over with wide eyes.
It's true that it's a car. It has wheels, but it's different from a carriage or a steam locomotive. At least it's not that big. If I had to describe it, it looks like a house on wheels, which is quite weird.
While they were looking at it, they saw Emperor Chongzhen walking over and looking at the car, which was specially painted in the colors of the Ming Dynasty. He touched it with his hands and seemed very emotional.
Unbeknownst to others, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking of the moment when he and Liu Weichao had just communicated via video chat, and he was shocked when he saw a car driving past Liu Weichao.
I really didn’t expect that now, he also has a car!
Although the car of the Ming Dynasty is far from comparable to the cars of Liu Weichao's era, it is undeniable that with the help of Liu Weichao, the car of the Ming Dynasty developed by leaps and bounds, reducing many of the original historical cars.
stage of automobile development.
With this thought in mind, Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses, looked around at the ministers, and loudly said with an electric loudspeaker: "Your Majesty, please do not underestimate this car. I can tell you clearly that in this car,
It embodies the top achievements of our Ming Dynasty’s study of physics!”
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were speechless. From Sun Chuanting, the first assistant, to the captain of the imperial guards standing aside, they were all surprised.
The most advanced achievements of the Ming Dynasty's physiology constituted this car? Doesn't that mean that this car will be very expensive?
When they thought of this, everyone was very curious and wanted to know more about this strange-looking car.
