Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 888 Can't Wait

At the celebration banquet for the occupation of Goa, Kui Yi, the former governor of the Netherlands in Dongfan, later the acting governor of the Netherlands in Batavia, and the current governor of Colombo in the Netherlands, took the opportunity to greet the third prince of the Mughal Empire who was surrounded by generals. Aurangzeb toasted, and at the same time said to Aurangzeb: "Dear Your Royal Highness, toast to our friendship!"

"Cheers!" Aurangzeb was in a good mood and responded with a smile.

Drinking is not the main thing, and Kui said to Aurangzeb in the name of toasting: "What do you think, Your Highness, about the comprehensive alliance between the Netherlands and the Mughal Empire and the development of trade?"

The Mughal Empire was a huge empire, at least in the Far East, apart from the Ming Empire, it was the largest empire.There are many good things, and they can make a lot of money shipping back to Europe.

More importantly, if there is such a large empire as an ally, then there is no need to be afraid of the Ming Empire.

At this time, Kui Yi still believed that the fundamental reason why the Netherlands withdrew from Batavia was that it was too close to the Ming Empire, and they could easily send a large army to overwhelm the Dutch.

Otherwise, if only the numbers were equal, he wouldn't retreat like this.

Although the Ming army had steam iron-clad warships, the flaws were obvious, so there was no need to worry too much!

However, when Aurangzeb heard Kuiyi's question, he shook his head and said: "In the agreement between our two countries, you will also help our Mughal Empire capture several countries in the south!"

Having said this, he paused, and added: "With the iron cavalry of our Mughal Empire and the firearms of your Dutch, I believe that with these small countries in the south, we can achieve peace!"

"That's no problem!" Kui nodded and replied quickly after hearing this, "But there is one condition, we must also allow us Dutch to go to the Mughal Empire to see and see, and the government must be accommodating when we travel around. If there is an enemy, you should also send troops to deal with it together!"

It was agreed with Shah Jahan before that Goa would be leased to the Netherlands.However, the entire Mughal Empire was not opened up.

"Fighting the Ming Empire?" Aurangzeb heard this, and immediately said indifferently, "There is no problem with this, and my father Khan will definitely agree to it!"

The Portuguese who surrendered Goa was to cut off the accomplices of the Ming Empire, and then deal with the Ming Empire, naturally there is no problem.

But this alone, Kui Yi is not satisfied, what he wants is a comprehensive alliance, and even the interior of the Mughal Empire is open to the Netherlands.Therefore, he made this request again.

After hearing this, Aurangzeb turned his head and looked around, then motioned for Kuiyi to follow him to a room where there was no one, and then said to Kuiyi with a serious expression: "My father Khan will definitely not agree to let you enter at will." I am in the Mughal Empire, but if I become emperor, I can agree to your request!"

Kui Yi had dealt with the Mughal Empire during this period of time, and of course knew about the most sensitive battle for the throne of the Mughal Empire.If it was possible, he certainly didn't want to get involved in this battle for the throne.Because if the judgment is wrong and the prince he supports fails in the battle, it is very likely that all the investment of the Netherlands in the Mughal Empire will be in vain!

Of course, if the prince supported by the Netherlands can seize the throne of the Mughal Empire, the benefits will be very great.No, Aurangzeb made a promise.

However, Kuiichi was still hesitant.

Aurangzeb saw this, and said a little unhappy: "Why, are you afraid that I will lose to those wretches?"

On weekdays, he showed extreme contempt for those competitors.Anyone who dares to say good things about those princes in front of him will definitely be held hostage by him.

As soon as Kui knew that Aurangzeb was not a broad-minded person, seeing his misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. We have seen His Highness's extraordinary military genius in this cooperation with His Highness! Just me Personally, I am actually very optimistic about His Highness's future!"

Hearing this, Aurangzeb looked a little better, but he still asked a little dissatisfied: "In this case, why didn't you agree to my request, cooperate with me, and support me?"

After hearing this, Kui hesitated for a moment before explaining to Aurangzeb: "The great Shah Jahan is in good health, and he is not very old. He should be able to reign for many years. Our Dutch interests in the Far East have been affected. I am afraid that the head office can't wait for the prince we support to take office before launching all-round trade cooperation, and I hope that His Royal Highness can persuade His Majesty the Emperor to agree to our request."

After a pause, he continued, "We will also seek help from other ministers of the Mughal Empire in this matter!"

Hearing this, Aurangzeb sneered, sat down neatly, tasted the wine in his hand, and then said to Kui Yi: "I know my father Khan best, open the inland to you Holland, let If you trade freely, he will consider it a violation of his power, and it is absolutely impossible for you to do so!"

After a pause, he said in a very positive tone: "He is very conservative! This time, if it wasn't for the threat from the Ming Empire in the Far East, I am afraid that he would not have cooperated with you in the Netherlands and lent Goa to you!"

When Kui heard this, his face was a little ugly.In fact, Aurangzeb has already felt what he said.

Any mature monarch basically does not agree to cooperate with foreign countries in such a comprehensive way, because in doing so, foreign countries will obtain interests that are beyond their control.

The original Ming Empire only opened up a few coastal towns to provide foreign trade.Wa country is even more, it just allows foreigners to trade in Nagasaki.

Seeing Kui Yi's face, Aurangzeb felt proud, and continued, "However, I am different. My eyes are on the whole world. The real world is not just this side. How dare the Ming Empire covet me, Mughal?" The Mughal Empire, then the Mughal Empire must also come to the Ming Empire! There is also Persia, and we must destroy them first, instead of just robbing Kandahar with them!"

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hands and said loudly: "My ambition is simply not comparable to those mediocre people."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his hand, looked at Kui Yi, and continued: "For you Netherlands, I have taken a fancy to your warships and firearms, which are better than those of my Mughal Empire! Therefore, I am willing to share with you! The Netherlands cooperates to help me ascend the throne and help me to rule the world, I guarantee that my country will definitely be open to you, the Netherlands!"

Hearing this, Kui Yi didn't expect that the prince of the Mughal Empire in front of him would have such great ambitions!
But looking back, it seems that this prince of the Mughal Empire is indeed a capable person, and it doesn't seem surprising that he has such a big wish!
If he can really continue to expand his empire, and then the Netherlands as an ally can get greater benefits, this future seems to be good!

However, Kuiyi quickly returned to reality: quitting Batavia and losing the interests of Nanyang, he had to give more guarantees to the company's shareholders and the board of directors in order to ensure his immediate interests.

Although the future is infinitely bright, he pays more attention to the immediate practical interests!
So, he smiled wryly, and expressed this meaning to Aurangzeb tactfully!
Hearing this, Aurangzeb turned his head to look in the room, then looked at the door, saw the back of his cronies guarding the door, and made a decision in his heart.

So, he reached out his hand to Kui Yi and motioned for him to approach.

As soon as Kui heard this, he sat down beside Aurangzeb.

I only heard Aurangzeb whispering to Kui Yi: "My father Khan is old and has lost the ambition of the past! Just like my two brothers, he has become a wimp! You help me take down these small countries in the south Give my cronies enough firearms, and I will be able to send those who do not support me to death in this battle, so as to master the most elite army in the empire. When I return to Delhi, let that Let the old man give way, and I will become the emperor, so your interests will be guaranteed in the shortest possible time, how about it?"

Hearing this, Kui Yi was shocked!
This is treason!

The son killed the father, just said it so blatantly!
But he soon came back to his senses when he saw Aurangzeb staring at him.

Aurangzeb told him all these things, which meant that he had only two choices, either agree or be silenced by him!

At this moment, Kui Yi immediately became serious.

This is in the Mughal Empire Army. If Aurangzeb gets angry, he will definitely not be able to return to the fleet.In other words, if Aurangzeb wanted him to die, then he might really die!

He even wanted to kill his father Khan, let alone him as a Dutchman!
If you don't want to die, you can only promise him!
As soon as Kui thought of this, he immediately thought about the possibility of conspiring with Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb is indeed the most capable prince among Shah Jahan's sons. This time, in order to conquer the southern countries and attack Goa, Shah Jahan handed over the most powerful Imperial Forest Army to Aurangzeb's command.

In the ensuing battle, he could indeed use his commander-in-chief power to justifiably eliminate dissidents.

In addition, if there is help from the Netherlands to help Aurangzeb arm his cronies, let alone, there is indeed a great possibility that Aurangzeb will overthrow his father Khan and win the Mughal Empire the throne!

Thinking about this, Kui saw Aurangzeb staring at him with a sullen face, and then thought about the Mughal Empire, which seemed to have traditions for such things. In the end, he nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, then It's a deal!"

"Hahaha..." Seeing that Kui Yi agreed, Aurangzeb immediately burst out laughing, and then said to Kui Yi: "In that case, let's sign a covenant and celebrate our future!"
