The possibility Zhu Cixiang mentioned actually exists!
Although France and the Netherlands have not placed heavy bets in the Indian Ocean, if Ming Dynasty gets discouraged, they may still adjust their direction.
Without the Dashun Empire, a progressive country that believed that "it is better to build than to buy, and to buy than to rob". With the strength of the Netherlands and France in the Indian Ocean, they will not be able to carve up India until Aurangzeb goes to see Allah. The most they can do is occupy a small colony on the coast of India, and invade the interior from time to time to grab a little bit. Just walk away from the deal.
But with Dashun Prefecture soldiers serving as cannon fodder, the situation is different!
Aurangzeb's "Xiao Ge Lao" had just been bought from Central Asia not long ago, and it was still early to form an army! And he hired thugs from Central Asia and Afghanistan to deal with India's local enemies. But facing the Dashun new army trained with the help of the French, it is not enough... and the coastline of India is too long. With the help of the Netherlands and France, Li Jicheng can learn from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and enter the customs five times. Battle style and launch a large-scale invasion!
The destructive power of tens of thousands of people forming a group to rob is not comparable to that of a robbery group of several thousand people! Maybe the Timur Empire of Tianzhu could really be robbed. The Ming Dynasty in history was actually robbed by the Qing Dynasty who entered and plundered it again and again. The five battles to enter the Pass caused nearly devastating blows to Beizhili, Shanxi, Shandong and other places. And these three provinces were the heartland of the Ming Dynasty. Although they were not very wealthy, they were the areas from which the Ming Dynasty could easily acquire grain. According to the grain tax quota during the Wanli period, the annual land tax quota in these three provinces totaled more than 5.6 million shi.
In addition, there are four major military towns (four of the nine sides) including Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, and Taiyuan in these three provinces. Although the strength of these military towns has long been inferior to what it used to be, after all, there are still many military households and they can still To provide the precarious Ming Dynasty with some self-defense force - for the Ming Dynasty, whose national power has declined, the financial, material and military resources that can be obtained from the vicinity of Gyeonggi are all the grass that can be used to survive!
The grass beside the nest has been pulled out, can Ming Dynasty not be dying?
Although Timurid's empire was not close to Bengal, Orissa, and Golconda, Aurangzeb's burden was much heavier than that of Chongzhen. He followed the master who exploited the working people of India. The sea has gone. There are Rajput lords who believe in Brahminism, Afghan lords who believe in Devachanism, Timur lords, lords from the Delhi Sultanate, Persian lords, and lords who have fled from Central Asia in recent years, as well as Aurangze The "slave master" Bu bought with money... So many masters had to live a good life, and Aurangzeb collected 300 million rupees a year and ended up with little surplus.
If Bengal, Orissa, and Golconda are all robbed by the Dashun, and the western coast of India and the Indus River Basin are frequently visited by the Franco-Dutch and Shun joint robbery groups, then Aurangzeb's great country may really be lost. It was snatched away and divided up!
Princess Nisha looked like she was about to cry when Emperor Zhu was so frightened - I don't know whether she was worried about the tens of millions of untouchables in India (no one knows the exact number), or whether she was worried about herself. A million annuity?
When Zhu Cihong saw Princess Nesa's tearful appearance, he no longer planned to scare her. He changed the subject and began to come up with his own plan to save India.
"Boss," Zhu Cixiang looked at Prince Luck and tried to pretend to be very worried about the Indian people (you can't let them be treated like untouchables!), and asked, "What if the navy won't be able to attack the Duman Mountains for a while?" In the Myeik Islands, is there any way the Army can support our friends in Tianzhu?"
"Father," Zhu Hexing also pretended to think for a while, "without the navy's transportation, it would be impossible for the army to travel thousands of miles to help Tianzhu. The only thing the army can do is to attack Yunnan, but this cannot be done in a short time. prepared......"
Yes, Li Jicheng hasn’t taken over Bangladesh yet! How could the Ming Army be prepared?
Yunnan is also a plague-ridden land with high mountains and dangerous waters. If the rogue bandits really have to be on guard, the Ming army's casualties will be severe... It's better to let the rogue bandits go to India to become Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and then they can win a complete victory by fighting casually. How happy!
Zhu Hexing had already thought about it. When the bandits entered Bangladesh, he would take the initiative to ask for an expedition to Yunnan... By the way, he would also ask the emperor for 24 "soft rice uncles" and select a batch of "popular version" The children of the Ming Dynasty royal family will be brought together to settle down in Yunnan, replacing the old Mu family, and go to Yongzhen Tiannan!
"What should we do?" Princess Nissa began to wipe her tears as she spoke.
Ding Yuying on the side asked her husband: "Master Qiansui, is there really nothing we can do?"
"It's not like there's nothing..." Zhu Hexing paused, "Someone actually came up with a way to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
"Surround Wei and save Zhao?" Princess Nisha knew what Zhu Hexing was talking about, so she asked, "India is Zhao, France and the Netherlands are Wei, who can besiege Wei? Is it the UK?"
"No, no," Zhu Hexing shook his head, "France and the Netherlands are not Wei, and it is impossible for Britain to attack them."
The strength of the British navy is now comparable to that of the Netherlands and far greater than that of France. While the French and Dutch navies were away on expeditions, the British Navy was undoubtedly the number one navy in Europe. Moreover, the British Army is not weak. Although it cannot defeat the French Army, it will have no problem beating the Netherlands.
But little Cromwell would not send troops to attack France and the Netherlands. The reason is very simple... After France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the Ming Dynasty fell out, neutral Britain had become a monopoly on the east-west trade routes!
It’s too late to count the money, so how can you break neutrality and join the war? This is not good for Britain at all!
"Then who is Wei?" Princess Nisha asked again.
"The Holy Roman Empire is Wei!" Zhu Hexing said, "To be more precise, Austria is Wei! And the Ottoman Empire is Qi! As long as the Ottoman Empire can capture Vienna, France and the Netherlands will definitely withdraw from the West. There will only be one rogue bandit left. Can’t Timur’s empire cope?”
Princess Nissa thought for a while and said: "If Vienna was really occupied by the Ottoman Empire, wouldn't Louis XIV be the first citizen of Rome?"
"Yes!" Zhu Hexing said, "Being the first citizen of Rome is much more important than invading Tianzhu!"
"But the question is...does the Ottoman Empire have such strength? Are they willing to send troops immediately?"
Zhu Cixiang saw that the heat was almost over, so he took up the topic with a smile: "Of course the Ottoman Empire is willing to send troops... But they need the support of the Timur Empire of Tianzhu, and the Ottoman Sultan's army needs Tianzhu's silver rupees! Ni! Shah, translated as Alamgir, your father's title, isn't he the conqueror of the world? If he can't open a colony in Europe, how dare he say that he can conquer the world?
How about letting him send some troops to fight with the Ottomans? If he captures Austria, he can also build a colony in Europe for the Timur Empire of Tianzhu? "
"What? Tianzhu colonized Europe..." Princess Nisha's big forehead was sweating - this can't be done!
Generally speaking, the caste in India is that the whiter the skin, the nobler it is. The appearance of white Europeans can be rated as Brahmin or Kshatriya... What is the use of a colony filled with Brahmins and Kshatriyas? Do we want to introduce the master from there?
Zhu Cixiang didn't think much about it. He thought it was a good thing. It's quite feasible... Isn't this Europe a "dumping ground" for Indian goods? India sells so many things to Europeans every year and earns so much gold and silver. According to some theories, isn’t this economic colonization? In order to sell more goods to Europe, India invaded together with the Ottoman Empire to seize a larger market... It seemed quite satisfactory!
"Nisha, I think this method is very good!" Zhu Cihong paused and then said, "How about you write a letter to my father and tell him about this method. It's best to explain it clearly to him. This is the only solution at the moment. Method!"
