Now that the military advisor mentioned this, Shah Jahan suddenly opened his eyes.
Yes, you won’t be happy if my rights are taken away from you, but what if I give you rights, do you want it or not?
If you want, then send troops to help. If you don’t want it, then just wait until the neighbors around you become stronger.
Such a big area, so close to the neighbors. There will inevitably be conflicts between villages. When others become stronger, will the other party ignore their past grudges?
This is a conspiracy. But this is the terrible thing about conspiracy, it is irresistible.
"The barbarians from the west wantonly slaughtered the subjects of Shah Jahan in the coastal areas. I hereby announce the western expedition of the army to destroy the western countries in one fell swoop."
The military advisor had just left the palace not long ago.
A royal order came down.
With the issuance of the king's order, the leaders of all the forces also received a letter. The content of the letter was very simple. In the Western countries, gold is everywhere, and there is a palace made of gold. "
In the past, these people would naturally not believe it.
But over the years, with the transmission of intelligence and the entry of Ming merchants, various information was also transmitted to the Mughal Empire.
throughout.
For example, the Ming Dynasty collected as much as 10,000 taels of business tax from those red barbarians a year.
A shipload of spices that sells for only 1,000 taels here can be sold for a sky-high price of 1 million in the West. All kinds of news are telling the elites of the Mughal Empire that there is gold everywhere in the Western countries.
Now that their king has ordered the Western Expedition, they naturally choose to support it for the sake of money.
Then the Mughal Empire quickly moved into action. As a country with a population of over 100 million, the Mughal Empire
The mobilization ability is still terrible.
He quickly decided to form an expedition team of 100,000 people to avenge his slaughtered compatriots and bring back the gold.
But plans are plans, and some actions are still needed.
Although Shah Jahan wanted the Ming Dynasty's muskets, after considering the advice of his military adviser and seeing the terror of the Ming Dynasty's army, he had no choice but to take the next step and send his military adviser to purchase a batch of Ming Dynasty swords and crossbows.
The reason for this is also related to the current situation of firearms.
Among the current countries, except for the cheating Ming Dynasty, the firearms of other countries are the sharpest from the Western countries.
The main equipment of Western countries is matchlock guns.
The range of the matchlock long-barreled gun is about 100 meters to 200 meters.
A well-trained shooter can fire 2 to 3 rounds per minute.
Apart from its powerful armor-breaking ability and the fact that it requires relatively short training time, the current thing is not necessarily as powerful as a crossbow in other aspects.
Even if fighting alone, the probability of an excellent crossbowman defeating a fire gunner is more than 90%.
As a result, the firearms of Western countries are not so attractive.
Since Eastern firearms are not available, it is also a good thing to obtain more powerful crossbows.
"Your Majesty, this is the envoy sent by the general I know. I have already negotiated the basic conditions. As long as your Majesty signs the agreement, the first batch of 5,000 crossbows and 100,000 crossbow arrows will be available within three months. Delivered within the time limit.”
Three days later, the military advisor led a man dressed as Han Chinese and said happily.
"Of course I believe what the military advisor said, but those military leaders don't believe it. You also know that now our Mughal Empire has specialized people who make bows and arrows, and these people can make huge profits every year. , if the superiority of weapons cannot be demonstrated, those soldiers will not buy it."
