Chapter 836 Shah Jahan Is Too Shrewd

Shah Jahan didn't wait for the two to be confused, and continued to add: "In the Mumbai war, I will not force you. I will wait until the supplies of the Ming army are exhausted. However, you must ensure that the Ming army cannot escape. A little bit, can it be done?"

Max and Anthony didn't expect him to say such a thing, and they were slightly taken aback.After returning to his senses, Max quickly nodded and echoed, "Khan is wise!"

"Don't worry, Khan, our joint fleet will definitely trap the Ming army. As long as the Ming army dares to leave those islands, they will definitely be defeated." Anthony also immediately assured.

Although they said such words, both of them were surprised, what happened just now, what is the content of this [-]-mile rush?
"Okay!" Shah Jahan's expression didn't seem so ugly. After he gave a compliment, he continued to say to the two of them, "As long as Mumbai is captured, this Khan decides, this Mumbai will be used for you. In addition, you People can go wherever they want, and it doesn’t matter what kind of business they do, Ben Khan doesn’t limit it, how good is that?”

Max was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately responded: "Thank you Khan for your generosity!"

"We Dutch people will definitely remember the great Khan!" Anthony said quickly after hearing this, "We will cheer for winning the friendship of the Great Khan!"

With such a promise from Shah Jahan, it means that the entire Mughal Empire is open to them.Both of them, at this moment, their eyes were shining, and their happiness was beyond words.

Shah Jahan listened to the good words of the two of them, looked at their expressions, and suddenly changed the subject and said: "But remember one thing, when we do business, I don't need your money, just your guns, and Cannons, you exchange them for guns and cannons!”

In the battle with the Ming army, the performance of the Ming army's flintlock guns and artillery was far better than that of the Mughal soldiers' guns and cannons, which caused the Mughals to suffer a lot.

When the Mughal Empire and the Persian Empire fought before, they both used matchlocks and couldn't feel the difference in the fire stick in their hands, but this time, Shah Jahan really felt the difference.Therefore, he made such a request to Max and Anthony.

Max and Anthony couldn't help being taken aback when they heard this. They never expected that Shah Jahan would propose that they don't need money, and only need guns as currency for trading.

Then if there are more business deals with the Mughal Empire and they have more and more flintlock guns and artillery, wouldn't the advantages of both sides become smaller and smaller?After that, do you really have to do business in an orderly manner?
If you really want to do business in an orderly manner, why are there so many warships here?How much profit can be...

Thinking of this, Max and Anthony glanced at each other at the same time.Later, Anthony turned his head, and when he was about to talk to Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan said first: "Also, Ben Khan decided to build a naval army. You also need to send people to help Ben Khan build ships and train troops. How about it?"

"What? Help the Mughals build a fleet?" Max and Anthony couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when they heard this.This Shah Jahan really knows how to do business?

At this time, Max was a little impulsive, and directly helped the Ming army kill Shah Jahan!

Seeing that both of them were stunned, Shah Jahan frowned and hummed: "Why, don't you want to? Aren't you very happy just now?"

Hearing his words, Anthony came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile, "Khan, we don't have extra guns!"

"Yes, we don't have extra guns!" Max also complained bitterly, "The sea is not safe all the way back and forth. These guns are to ensure our safety along the way."

"That... this..." Anthony thought for a while, and then said, "We only bought warships from China, and we don't know how to build them."

"That's right, Big Khan, you may not be able to make things that you know how to use!" Max quickly echoed, "If Big Khan is worried about the safety of the sea, we will be here, and everything will be fine."

Hearing that neither of them wanted to do business with guns and warships, Shah Jahan was not happy, and immediately turned dark and shouted: "Ben Khan wants your guns and warships. Whether you want to do this business or not, just say a word." In other words, Ben Khan doesn't have the ink marks!"

Max was a little dumbfounded when he heard his final words. The Mughals were really capricious. They agreed to do business from the very beginning, and they went step by step to today. In the end, they raised these unacceptable requirements to achieve it. The purpose of commerce, isn't this cheating yourself?
On the contrary, Anthony has been in the Far East and has done colonial business for so many years. He has relatively rich experience. After thinking about it for a while, he finally said to Shah Jahan: "Since the Great Khan insists on this, I will do my best for the friendship between the two countries. But One thing to say, whether it is a gun or a cannon, it is very expensive. Also, I can go to China to find craftsmen who build warships for the Great Khan, but the cost will definitely not be low. You have also seen that these warships The power of..."

Hearing this, Shah Jahan waved his hand without hesitation and said, "It's all right, as long as you sincerely come to do business with Ben Khan."

"I'm in the UK, I'm fine. I'm sure I'd be happy to do business with Khan." When Max heard that, whether he wanted to or not, he could only be like Anthony. Otherwise, he would be out after working so hard. acceptable.

"Okay!" Shah Jahan heard this, and made another request: "Then Ben Khan has to go back first, and this place will be handed over to Dalashiko. In addition, he will continue to send troops to consume the supplies of the Ming army. In order for us to have a happy business, how about you give Ben Khan five hundred guns each as a deposit?"

"..." Max and Anthony were dumbfounded again when they heard this.They felt that this Shah Jahan was too difficult to deal with.

Judging by Shah Jahan's posture, he must, otherwise, he may turn his face at any time.

So, they didn't care whether they disagreed, but they bargained with Shah Jahan on the amount.

In the end, the two parties agreed to give a total of [-] guns as a deposit. However, in future business, the British and Dutch will be given various privileges and no taxes will be collected.

After negotiating, Shah Jahan urged to hand over the guns immediately.Then without stopping, he immediately led the cavalry away.

Seeing Sha Jahan leave in such a hurry, both Max and Anthony felt that something big must have happened to the Mughal Empire, otherwise, Sha Jahan would never be so abnormal.However, what is the big deal, they don't know.We can only guess that it must have something to do with the Ming army.

However, in their view, the more than 1 Gushri Khan's troops should not cause a major blow to the Mughal Empire.

They just thought about these things and didn't care about them.Their focus is on Shah Jahan himself.

Back on the flagship, I heard Anthony say to Max: "This Shah Jahan is too cunning to deal with. And I have a feeling that if there is no Ming army, after Shah Jahan gets our imitation guns, Maybe there will be more demands, and maybe even turn around and break the contract.”

"Well, I feel it too. This Shah Jahan is too shrewd. He will take advantage of us because we want to open the door to the Mughals." Max said this, and couldn't help but miss the Safi Dynasty.

After hearing what he said, Anthony knew that there were no people from the Mughal Empire around, but he still looked left and right, and then said to Max: "Why don't we support Darashiko, this idiot is easy to control, let him How about winning the throne of the Mughal Empire?"

Max's eyes lit up when he heard it, it's a good idea!But after thinking about it, he asked again: "It's just that we don't know the situation in Mughal's country very well?"

"That's easy. Let's entertain Darashiko, and we'll just have to play him." Anthony said immediately, "I've seen a lot of people like this Darashiko."

So, the two of them agreed on a strategy and went to contact Darashiko.

………………

The Ming army, to be honest, was attacked continuously by Shah Jahan, although the Mughal army was easily beaten back every time.However, the consumption of gunpowder is increasing.

If the navy hadn't been stationary and could be moved to the army for use, the gunpowder would have been used up.

Therefore, Yan Yingyuan already felt the pressure.If it weren't for Xiyi's fleet, then Mumbai would have been able to continuously replenish supplies from the sea without so many difficulties.

Thinking like this, he began to plan his next move. What should he do?
But at this moment, Shah Jahan led all the cavalry to leave suddenly. This anomaly made him very happy.I guessed at once that it was definitely too much pressure from the north, forcing Shah Jahan to return immediately.

Therefore, he immediately held a military meeting to discuss this situation.

As soon as Yan Yingyuan explained the situation, Li Dingguo immediately went out to report: "Sir, as long as Shah Jahan really leads the cavalry back north, the general is willing to surprise the enemy and annihilate the enemy in front of him in one fell swoop!"

He has fought the army of the Mughal Empire the longest, so he is the most familiar with the enemy.When he said this, he naturally had great confidence.

"Oh, what do you want to do?" Yan Yingyuan asked calmly when he heard this.

After hearing this, Li Dingguo immediately replied: "My lord, the most elite army of the Mughal Empire is the army led by Shah Jahan. As for the remaining ones, most of them are local troops. And these Mughals have One characteristic is laziness. Once Shah Jahan leaves, relying on the great prince alone will definitely not be able to deter the army like Shah Jahan was there. Therefore, our army shows weakness to the enemy, prides its morale, and makes another surprise attack. success!"

Yan Yingyuan listened, thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yeah! Let's just pretend that I have consumed too much ammunition and ammunition, and play such a show with them."

In Mumbai, each side has its own plans, but no one knows how the situation will develop.
