"What? How did Li Jicheng become the emperor of India?" Zhu Hexing was also a little confused, "He is addicted to robbing India, so he just became an Indian?"
"Is that so?" Li Dingguo has never been to India, but he also knows how rich India is. "Your Highness, when I was in the puppet dynasty, I heard a lot about how rich India is and how easy it is to plunder... ....At that time, there were many people in the puppet government who were tempted, and they all wanted to follow Li Jicheng to India to make a fortune. If not, the puppet government would not have collapsed so quickly."
Zhu Hexing smiled: "If Li Jicheng hadn't taken advantage of the Indians, the Puppet Dynasty would have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty long ago... The Puppet Dynasty implemented the method of government soldiers and military households, which was actually to enclose the land to raise troops. If the land is sufficient, the army will be strong, but if the land is exhausted, the army will be exhausted. However, there is a lot of land, but the military households will not be able to multiply, so there will always be a day when the land is exhausted and the army will be exhausted. To maintain the power of the army and army households for a long time, they must expand outward and plunder and plunder. To make up for the shortcomings. Li Jicheng found India, a rich and gentle land, and his country is really destined to be destroyed!"
Li Dingguo sighed, this Prince Zhu has seen through all the tricks of the military household... This method cannot be done in a place with many people and little land! Otherwise, conflicts between people and land, and conflicts between the army and the people will accumulate quickly. At that time, either the military households will be impoverished and destitute, or they will be allowed to abuse the civilians and occupy their land!
Don’t think that military households are all honest people who are being bullied...this group of people are actually the same as the samurai from Japan next door! It was just that the samurai took control of the country, established the military regime, and had the privilege of oppressing the peasants. The military households of the Ming Dynasty did not have so many privileges and could not kill ordinary people, so high-ranking military households had no choice but to bully their own people.
The Dashun regime that Li Dingguo was loyal to before was a regime that safeguarded the interests of the military and military households...it was actually a regime of the Wu family!
If they had not been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, the farmers in Sichuan would have been turned into serfs by them sooner or later!
But now, it seems that the farmers in Sichuan have escaped a disaster, but they have only suffered the suffering of the people of Tianzhu!
While Li Dingguo was grieving, Zhu Hexing on the side had already made a decision, "Jiedu, since Li Jicheng sent a military envoy to sue for peace, let's meet... and look at his Indian Dashun." Do the military envoys sent by the emperor look like Indians?"
Zhu Hexing was the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan military affairs in the name of Fujun, and also served as the military envoy of Sichuan and Yunnan. It can be said that he has the military and political power, and he also has the right to negotiate with Li Jicheng!
So after his order, the envoys of the Indian Dashun Empire were quickly escorted to the main hall of Wuhua Palace in Kunming.
"The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is an envoy to the Emperor of the Dashun Empire in India. His name is Xin Guiyi..."
The envoy spoke Shaanxi dialect and wore the blue cloth official uniform of the Dashun Dynasty, but he had a foreign face, deep eyes, a nose, a thick beard, and dark skin.
"Are you from Shaanxi? Why do you look like this?" Zhu Hexing, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Xin Guiyi's appearance and felt very strange - he was not an unexperienced "Prince in the Deep Palace", he had been there I have seen a lot of people in this place, but I have never seen a Shaanxi person like this.
"Well, I'm not from Shaanxi..." Xin Guiyi is of course not from Shaanxi. His original name is Singh, the same Jagir master Singh who surrendered in Orissa Province when Li Jicheng first entered India. My daughter is still Li Jicheng’s concubine!
After surrendering to Dashun, Singer was given the name Guiyi - "Guiyi" and "Guiming" were generally given to the surrender faction. In addition to changing his name, he also became an official in Dashun and learned standard Dashun Chinese.
"Then where is your ancestral home?" Zhu Hexing continued to ask.
Xin Guiyi replied: "My ancestral home is the Rajput Province of the Timurid Empire in India."
"What?" Zhu Hexing was stunned, "They are really Indians!"
"Your Highness," Li Dingguo recognized Xin Guiyi, so he smiled and said to Zhu Hexing, "He is indeed an Indian. Li Jicheng has entered India several times to plunder and occupy some territory, so he also has many Indian ministers under his command, and Some Persians.”
It turns out to be a traitor!
Zhu Hexing nodded, and then asked: "What's going on with the Indian Dashun Empire? How could Li Jicheng become an Indian when he was a good Chinese man?"
Yes, okay, why did you immigrate? What is so good about India?
"His Royal Highness," Xin Guiyi said with a smile, "The prince of the E family felt that he could no longer become a prince in China, so he wanted to go to India to become a prince... From now on, your highness will be the prince of the Ming Dynasty. , the prince of the E family is the prince of India, it’s better if we don’t interfere with each other, right?”
It turns out that jobs are easier to find in India... The imperial class here in the Ming Dynasty is showing signs of solidification. Emperor Zhu Cixi has no intention of retiring yet, and Prince Zhu Hexing has begun to rise! Li Jicheng is no match for the Zhu family and his son!
After Li Jicheng felt that he had no hope of becoming the emperor of China, he simply immigrated to India... Now India is still in trouble! There are all kinds of possibilities! Moreover, India also has a tradition of welcoming foreign conquerors, which is very good for Dashun!
Of course, Li Jicheng did not expect to have all of India. He would be satisfied if he could eat only Bangladesh.
"So... is Li Jicheng going to withdraw from Yunnan?" Zhu Hexing asked again, "Yunnan is one of the core territories of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not restored, it cannot be said to be extremely prosperous! So if Li Jicheng doesn’t hand over Yunnan, there will be nothing to talk about.”
What he meant was that Li Jicheng would "negotiate" after withdrawing from Yunnan, but he didn't say what could be "negotiated"?
Because he knew that Daming and Li Chuang had nothing to talk about! It is impossible for both sides to sign a peace treaty.
Moreover, Ming Dynasty will not recognize the Dashun Empire of India...because Ming Dynasty's friend in India is Aurangzeb!
However, the Ming Empire will not continue to attack Myanmar in the short term. After the southwest side takes over Yunnan, it will not have 10 years to digest it. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to strengthen its rule over Yunnan.
As for the direction of Xiaoxiyang, Ming Dynasty has no idea of going westward for the time being, as long as it can maintain the smooth flow of trade routes.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong issued an order to Zhu Hexing not long ago, asking him to find ways to exert pressure on the rogue bandits and force them to sign the "Treaty for the Protection of Neutrality and Freedom."
As long as trade was not affected, Zhu Cixiang was not very willing to interfere in the Timur-Dashun war. Timur and Dashun attacked each other in India, which was actually good for the Ming Dynasty. Firstly, they could sell arms and make a fortune; secondly, the more lively the fight between Timur and Dashun, the stronger India's power to resist the Westerners would be.
Zhu Hexing continued: "If Li Jicheng is unwilling to hand over Yunnan, it doesn't matter... Our Ming Dynasty's 100,000 heavenly troops have arrived. We will fight steadily and we will be able to capture Yunnan in another year. After capturing Yunnan, I The Tomorrow Army is about to move to Burma. By then, even if he thinks about the Indian Emperor, there will be no basic place for him to move westward."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent Xin Guiyi away. The conditions he proposed were not answers that a character like Xin Guiyi could give. This matter had to be considered by Li Jicheng.
Seeing Li Jicheng's envoy being taken away from the hall, Prince Zhu said to his military advisor Li Dingguo: "This Xin Guiyi has let something slip. It seems that Li Jicheng will not stay in Yunnan for a long time! As long as he leaves. ..... All the rogue bandits in Yunnan are heartbroken! The battle in Yunnan will probably not take too long to be successful."
Li Dingguo said: "Your Highness, a person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile... As long as Li Jicheng does not leave Yunnan for a day, we cannot take it lightly."
Zhu Hexing nodded, "That's natural. As the Prince of Fujun, of course I can only win, not lose."
Zhu Hexing's stability and thoroughness are actually related to his status as prince. I can’t afford to lose! Once the battle is defeated, the prince may change, so he can only win, not lose.
Even if it takes two or three years to succeed, as long as you can win, nothing will be a problem.
