At the same time, the Emperor of Heaven was personally supervising the embarkation of troops and materials for the expedition to Liao at Songjiang Prefecture Port.
In Nanyang.
Batam Port.
Group after group of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's Indian princes' coalition, carrying flintlock rifles with sharp bayonets, were lining up at the port, following the organization of the front army - brigade - battalion - company - platoon.
The coalition of Indian princes, with a total of more than 70,000 soldiers, has a total of 14 brigades.
In addition to a Guards Brigade serving as the British Gongsun Shiyi, and a naval brigade organized as the Indian Ganges Navy.
The remaining 12 brigades formed four corps.
Each army has more than 15,000 men, consisting of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage and other arms. They are all sequences that can independently undertake combat tasks in one direction.
In a neat queue.
The flags of the princes are flying.
Generally, the flag with a red background has the sun and moon national emblem of the Ming Dynasty in the upper left corner, and then in the center of the red background there are the titles of the respective princes.
For example, the word "英" in British public.
In addition, there are Wuhou Qian Dazhao, Suhou Zhou Fangsuiren, Taihou Lin Shixiong, Wenhou Caili, Yuehou Liu Dongzhi, Dinghou Yuan Tiande, Chenhou Chen Tianyu.
They were all leaders of wealthy families from Zhejiang and Fujian who commanded five to six thousand troops.
One principality and seven princely states.
The rest are some who commanded one or two thousand soldiers and were granted the title of earl, and those who commanded several hundred soldiers were granted the title of viscount. However, because the number of troops was too small, the feudal kingdom could not be defended, so they were all lords and nobles attached to these eight kingdoms. .
So now Ming Dynasty has gathered together an eight-nation coalition, preparing to drive away the evil British colonists who are nosy and want to unify India, and become the master of the Indian people.
There is a country, a monarch, aristocrats, lords, and soldiers.
Now there is a lack of territory and people to rule.
Now the port of Batam has been emptied and the waterway has been cleared.
The purpose is to transport this huge army to the country they will rule in the future.
Of course, 70,000 troops cannot be transported to India in one go.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty.
In later generations, not many countries can transport more than 70,000 troops across the ocean at one time.
Therefore, according to the plan, this time the most elite and best-equipped First Army composed of Ying Fan and Wu Fan served as the vanguard and landed in India first.
The remaining people were then transported in batches.
Even if it's just an army.
The number of ships used is also staggering.
Merchant ships hired by the coalition of princes crowded the port, and the sails that blocked the sky made the Chinese and foreign merchants in the port stare at this massive voyage.
Businessmen have a very keen sense of war.
Since the Ming Dynasty and the Governor-General of Calcutta issued privateering orders respectively.
There are very few businessmen who dare to go to sea.
Now at the port of Batam, a large number of merchant ships that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty merchants have now received money from the Indian princes coalition, emptied their cargo, and are preparing to be used as troop transport ships to help the princes coalition land in India.
Businessmen certainly did not want to get involved in the war.
However, according to the "Li", after the local governors and vassal states of the Ming Dynasty who have war power are authorized by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, they have the right to requisition merchant ships for war. Of course, the requisition is not free, but must be given according to the prescribed market price. Money, and if the ship is damaged, you will have to pay for it.
In general.
The Great Tomorrow is still very reasonable.
There are now many merchant ships of different types in the port, almost covering the entire harbor.
There are Chinese-style Fuchuan, Guangzhou, and Big Bird ships, as well as many Galen-type cargo ships.
There are more than a hundred ships in number.
besides.
Cruising outside the port were thirty-six three-man schooners belonging to the Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean Fleet.
Serves as the escort arm of the fleet.
"First Army, First Brigade! Embark!"
Along with the order to board the ship.
Carrying muskets, carrying backpacks, and wearing leggings, the Zhejiang and Fujian soldiers lined up in neat lines to board the ship in silence.
These soldiers were originally regiment training troops of the Qing Dynasty, but were later shrunk to Hangzhou and adapted into the vassal troops of the Emperor of Heaven.
First I trained on Zhoushan Island for several months, and then I went to Batam Island in Southeast Asia for several months of training.
Now it is finally time to enter the Indian battlefield.
They don't know what elusive fate awaits them.
Listen to the officer leading the troops.
In India, the people are very weak. When you go to India, you are treated like a master or a master.
Several of Cai Qian's pirate ships were also recruited as troop transports.
The pirates on the ship lay lazily on the side of the ship one by one, and couldn't help but start talking when they looked at the army soldiers who were boarding the ship.
Niu family brothers Niu Zhaocai and Niu Jinbao are also among this group of pirates - they are no longer country bumpkins who just went to sea. They followed Cai Qian to the sea and made several businesses. They even tried to land in India and captured a small town. Town, just in that town, the amount of gold stolen was unimaginable to the Niu brothers.
India is too rich.
India is too weak.
No wonder I heard that the British captured almost half of India with only two to three thousand troops.
This time the Ming Dynasty sent 70,000 troops, which was enough to attack ten Indians, right?
"With more than 10,000 people going there at once, I'm afraid we can conquer quite a bit of territory, right?"
"It's best to drive the British away!"
"Yes, only the British can attack India. If the British escape, where can India not rob it?"
"I heard that once you occupy India, you can't rob it."
"Can't rob? Then why should we go?"
"Haven't you heard of it? Become a noble."
"Haha, aristocrat? You, Ma Laizi, don't even urinate and look after yourself. Are you an aristocrat? Your whole family has been a peasant household for eight generations, so you still don't know what the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were."
"Hmph, I am now a naval captain of the Ming Dynasty Yingfan. Haven't you heard that we Han people went to India, no matter what we are, we are all nobles!"
"Can you really become a noble?"
Although a group of coastal fishermen and pirates from Danhu family have heard about this trip to India, they will be able to become lords and nobles in the future, riding on the heads of the Indian people to dominate.
But no matter how I think about it, I feel a bit vain.
I don't know a big character like Ma Laizi, and he looks so fierce.
Could it be a noble?
It doesn't even sound like it.
Some people believe that the naive Niu brothers are more noble than him.
Talk about it.
The Niu brothers also have identities now.
Niu Jinbao is now a naval sergeant of the Ming Dynasty Yingfan, and Niu Zhaocai is now a sergeant.
Moreover, Cai Tou also gave everyone a good idea. When he goes to fight in the Ganges in the future, he will definitely expand the Ganges Navy. At that time, he, Cai Qian, will be the chief of the Ganges Navy, and they are all officers, and they will also be knighted in the future. of.
From now on, everyone will be aristocrats and lords.
That is, when you become a noble or a lord in the future, you can't just rob it - you can rob it, but you also have to see where you rob it.
I heard that the Indian people are very easy to bully. You don’t need to rob them. They just gave away the gold and jewelry themselves...
The Niu brothers looked at the soldiers who were boarding the ship.
I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
This man's fate.
It’s not just about individual efforts.
Sometimes the historical process is also very important.
They are small landowners and homesteaders in Changzhou who are about to go bankrupt.
Now it is said that he wants to become an Indian noble.
It seems that there is only less than a year left...
"Commander, I thought that these first batch of people going to India would be a hard fight, but I didn't expect that France could actually sell their Indian colony..."
Wu Hou Qian Dazhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the army boarding the ship successfully.
At this time, at the port, the bitter look on the face of British Gongsun Shiyi, who was watching the army boarding the ship, finally disappeared a lot.
"I thought that if the most difficult landing could be solved easily and more than 10,000 troops could gain a foothold in India, then subsequent landings of large armies would be much easier."
Sun Shiyi smiled.
He has been in high spirits recently due to happy events.
First of all, privateering is indeed a very, very profitable business!
Cai Qian's privateering team brought him hundreds of thousands of yuan in income.
For this reason, Sun Shiyi also issued many private robbery warrants.
It's a huge sum of money.
Secondly.
That is through privateers.
Sun Shiyi also obtained a lot of first-hand information about India.
First of all, the soldiers are weak!
And it's ridiculously weak - otherwise the British wouldn't have succeeded so easily. They don't know whether the troops in the places they haven't succeeded yet are strong or not.
But those Indian states under the rule of the British were really too weak.
And everything you do there is about status.
Just like being a soldier.
Untouchables and lower castes are not eligible to serve as soldiers.
But those who are qualified to serve as soldiers are all upper-caste dudes.
In India, everything is a matter of species.
Not just a soldier.
Those who are good dancers, those who farm, those who cut wood, those who make pottery, those who blacksmith, those who build ships...even if you are just a excrement collector.
It all requires “seed”.
Such a system... is really conducive to foreign rule.
I heard that the upper echelons of India are now foreign invaders.
The natives are now pariahs.
If King Li Chuang goes to India, he probably won't make any waves.
If the Qing Dynasty went to India.
I'm afraid it can really last tens of thousands of years.
Thinking of this, Sun Shiyi felt hot.
It seems that the Great Tomorrow did not lie to himself.
This land in India can really pass on wealth and honor to future generations for thousands of years.
Maybe in the future the Ming royal family will become ordinary families in China.
My own descendants are still enjoying wealth and honor in India.
"The British are a trouble, especially their fleet..." Behind Sun Shiyi, Pan Shien, who followed Sun Shiyi all the way south, said with a frown.
"The fleet is not in trouble. The Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean Fleet will solve them. The key for us now is to land in India first, and then look for opportunities to fight. We must get a beautiful victory, otherwise how can we let the emperor Additional investment?”
Sun Shiyi waved his hands indifferently and said.
He spent a long time trying to get investment in Da Ming La, but in the end he didn't get much. In the end, Da Ming Zi personally invested hundreds of thousands of Ming Yuan in him.
Of course the interest rate is not high.
But what Emperor Zhu Ming asked for was repayment with land, not much, but he wanted the right of priority - those Indian urban sites that would greatly appreciate in value in the future, Emperor Zhu did not want to let go.
In fact.
This boarding was carried out with great fanfare.
It’s also a show.
A show for the British.
More than 170 troop transports and cargo ships were dispatched, and the Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean Fleet was also "dispatched in full force."
Under such temptation.
Can Britain's Eastern Fleet endure loneliness?
.....
"One ship...two ships...three ships..."
It's in a secret place in the port.
Someone who is interested is counting the warships of the Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean Fleet dispatched from the port of Batam.
"Thirty-six! Thirty-six bombardment gunboats!"
"The Ming Dynasty's Indian Ocean Fleet came out in full force!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
