This Qing is wrong

Chapter 246 Maratha's Ten Thousand Army
In the 15th year of Wuwei, after two years of counter-insurgency and rest, the core territory of the Mughal dynasty in Northwest India finally surrendered to Li Changqing.

At the same time, Luna brought more and more chaotic war information from the continent of Europa.

"Your Majesty, all the overseas colonies of the United Provinces of the Netherlands have now declared that they will no longer be loyal to Amsterdam.

Due to changes in the European situation, most of the overseas colonies of the United Provinces of the Netherlands have sworn allegiance to the London government of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland and the Madrid government of the Kingdom of Spain.

Of course, there are also a very small number of island colonies in the United Provinces of the Netherlands that have declared independence.

The overseas colonies of the United Provinces of the Netherlands chose the London government mainly because the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland faced the European catastrophe, and a strait became a natural protective barrier.

Neither the Succubus Legion nor the Undead Legion showed excellent sailing ability.

The Dutch colonies that took refuge in the Kingdom of Spain were mainly because the Kingdom of Spain was once the suzerain of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

And in order to protect itself, the Kingdom of Spain has formed a military alliance with Patton of the Kingdom of France.

After Vienna was occupied by the Supreme Commander of the Undead Legion who claimed to be Kel'Thuzad as the core, it entered a period of unlimited expansion, and the expansion speed was even faster than that of the Succubus Legion.

This is mainly because the zombie team under the undead army has a higher fighting quality than the army formed by low-level succubi.

And living corpses are harder to kill.

As long as the fighting and killing continued, the Corps of the Living Corps hardly needed to rely on any logistics system, and its attack speed was far faster than that of the Succubus Corps, which still needed to eat, drink, and sleep.

Unsurprisingly, Kel'Thuzad took the succubus queen Lilithana, who also did not belong to this world, as the primary target of attack.

Kel'Thuzad didn't even completely occupy the entire German region of Central Europe in the first place, but after accumulating hundreds of thousands of zombie corps, it launched a fierce attack on the area controlled by the Succubus Legion.

In the end, the Zombie Legion, which was more numerous and harder to kill, drove the area controlled by the Succubus Legion back to the west of the Rhine River through more than a dozen battles, and even invaded the original territory of the Netherlands!
For this reason, the Succubus Queen Lilith Anna had to withdraw another main force of the Succubus Legion attacking France to stabilize the front in the Netherlands.

However, the Zombie Corps was tireless and launched offensives day and night, making it impossible for the Succubus Corps to spare more troops to plunder other areas to supplement the army.

The population of the surrounding areas of the Netherlands has been plundered...

When the news reached here, more than half of the leaders of the Succubus Legion were killed in battle.

On the other hand, none of the skeleton mages on Kel'Thuzad's side were damaged.

However, the skeleton musketeers under Kel'Thuzad lost a lot.

During the battle between the Succubus Legion and the Undead Legion, the Demon Legion, which has been hidden by the Succubus Queen Lilith Anna, appeared on the battlefield.

It was their appearance that caused unbearable losses to the skeleton musketeers. Thousands of skeleton musketeers were wiped out, and tens of thousands of living corpses were decapitated.

Oh, by the way, what is worth mentioning here is that as long as the brain tissue is destroyed, or the head is chopped off, the living corpse will die.

Compared with the skeleton musketeers, the elite unit of the undead army, the skulls of the living corpses are not hard.

Considering the lag in news of the Europa Continent reaching us, the current situation in the Europa Continent should be dominated by the Kel'Thuzad family.

After defeating the succubus queen Lilith Anna, there will be no one in the entire continent of Europa that can stop the undead army.

No matter how much the undead army loses, as long as there is enough population, it can quickly recover and replenish.

And the men of Patton, the once mighty French kingdom, have exhausted their elite, and there is no mention in the intelligence that the Allied soldiers used advanced continuous fire weapons.

It is estimated that the advanced weapons and ammunition in the hands of the Allied soldiers under Patton's command are exhausted.

Although the withdrawal of the succubus queen Lilithiana gave the Kingdom of France a chance to breathe, once Kel'Thuzad eliminated the succubus military group with Lilithiana as its core, the Kingdom of France would no longer be able to resist. "

After Luna reported, Li Changqing already understood what she meant.

To put it simply - Kel'Thuzad is too strong, His Majesty hastened to launch a new system of enemy troops to contain him!
Li Changqing has always adopted a policy of war balance for the Europa continent, which is beyond reach and is the "most powerful" in the world today.

Although the randomness of the enemy army in the delivery system causes this balance to always be broken...

But they couldn't stand the placement locations given by the system panel, they were densely distributed on the European continent!
The placement locations in Asia and the Americas are nothing compared to the small piece of Europe.

"I know."

Li Changqing nodded slowly and replied, it was just a matter of hands for him to deploy the enemy army in the system, and it didn't take too much time.

He is now more concerned with another issue.

"How is the preparation for war against the Maratha Alliance going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, food, grass, military equipment and other materials have been prepared, and the recruitment and organization of [-] Indian civilians have been fully completed. Your Majesty can lead an army to attack the Maratha Alliance anytime and anywhere.

However, the side of the Maratha Alliance has also gathered a large number of coalition forces.

It is said that there are tens of millions of people, but the actual number will be at least no less than 25. "

After Li Changqing heard the name of the Indian assams of the Maratha Alliance, even though he had already seen a lot, he couldn't help being startled.

Exaggerating the number of troops to the outside world and doubling it several times is the norm in this era, but is it really okay to exaggerate to tens of millions all at once?

The Maratha Alliance will not count the total population under its rule...

But even 25 people are not a lot.

The continent of India is really too rich, and the most indispensable thing is people, and hundreds of thousands of troops can be drawn casually!
You must know that the core control area of ​​the Maratha Alliance is only the central part of the Indian subcontinent.

The Tubang Kingdom in the southern part of the Indian subcontinent does not play with the Maratha Alliance.

"How is the armament of the Maratha Alliance?"

Along with the expansion of the Tang Empire, the spies of the Intelligence Department of the Tang Empire are also constantly extending towards new lands.

Because of the support of the imperial court, the Ministry of Intelligence developed very rapidly.

In addition, Indian nobles in this era generally lack awareness of professional intelligence networks...

Therefore, after the Tang Empire took over Northwest India, it has always had an advantage in intelligence.

Naturally, we can figure out the situation of the armed forces in the Maratha coalition forces.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Holy Alliance of Europe is dead in name only, and there is only one Kang Paopao who is still jumping up and down to stop the front against us.

The Maratha Alliance was able to reorganize hundreds of thousands of troops to resist the Tang Empire, and half of the credit is attributed to Kang Paopao..."

Because Emperor Kangxi's running skills are superb, now the top officials of the Tang Empire jokingly refer to Emperor Kangxi as Kang Paopao.

Don't think that Emperor Kangxi would be safe when he ran to southern India and grabbed a piece of land.

According to the report of the intelligence department, Kang Paopao has been working on two major events for the past two years.

Nothing is to re-establish the ruling foundation with the Manchu Banners as the core!

These two major events are to send people to lobby the Tang Dynasty threat theory in the Maratha Alliance, and to brainwash and propagate the Maratha Tubang princes who have little knowledge and want to live as emperors.

Originally, there was no political conflict between the Maratha Alliance and the Tang Empire, which had never dealt with it before. However, after many princes of the Maratha Alliance learned that the emperor of the Tang Kingdom was a tyrant with a strong desire to conquer, Kang ran away. The lobby becomes more and more smooth and silky.

In just two years, not only did most of the Indian princes in the Maratha Alliance be persuaded, but also a Maratha coalition army with a number of hundreds of thousands and an army of tens of millions was organized!
When the Maratha Alliance fought against Aurangzeb, it was never so efficient!
For this reason, Emperor Kangxi sent many Qing military advisers to help the Maratha coalition forces train those untouchable armed forces who had just put down their hoes...

There is no way, if the untouchables are not used as a count, how can the Maratha coalition forces pull out hundreds of thousands of troops in such a short period of time?

If it really depends on the Hindu autocratic Kshatriya noble soldiers to support the scene, it is estimated that pulling the whole Kshatriya family out to fill the army may not be able to gather so many soldiers...

The second major thing that Emperor Kangxi was busy with was naturally to spend the wealth plundered from Northwest India, and wantonly purchased European sailing ships from every Indian port city in the south.

Regardless of whether it is a merchant ship or a warship, as long as it can sail the ocean, Emperor Kangxi will always come.

It was too late for warships to be built now, so Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to buy them.

Fortunately, although the support of the Holy Alliance in Europe is gone, it also means that many seagoing ship owners dare not return to the mainland of Europe, so they can only sell their ships and find a colony to live in.

This led to the emergence of a large number of European-style sailboats on the market, and even after the news spread to the continent, some people even drove sea-going ships to do business with Emperor Kangxi.

The news that Emperor Kangxi made such a big move to buy a sea-going ship and trained all the children of the Eight Banners to serve as the navy, naturally, could not be hidden from the intelligence department of the Datang Empire.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Kang Paopao doing his job...

Although Li Changqing really wanted to kill Emperor Kangxi, there was no rush to expand the territory. Li Changqing, who would not be able to reach Emperor Kangxi for a while, could only urge the people below to prepare for war. Kill the Maratha Alliance in front of you.

The size of the Indian subcontinent is quite large.

Under the coercion of the Tang Empire, the Man Ba ​​Banners, who were originally landlubbers, had to start desperately training their sailing skills.

There were even a lot of Baqi disciples who vomited to the point of unconsciousness because of the high-intensity training, broke down their bodies, and died of diseases in the end!
Training sailors can kill people, so one can imagine how eager Emperor Kangxi and the soldiers of the Eight Banners below were to leave the Indian subcontinent and stay away from Li Changqing's demon way.

Ever since the Battle of Lahore ended, the top officials of the Qing Dynasty agreed that they would never be able to defeat the Tang Empire, no matter whether the demon Dao Li Changqing sent the demon Dao war puppet or not!

That battle shattered the last bit of luck that the Qing Dynasty had in its fight against the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the main combat weapons of the Maratha coalition forces are still traditional cold weapons.

Europe is now in chaos, and wars continue. Even major European countries that have not been affected by the war cannot send arms and equipment to the Indian subcontinent.

A small amount of arms and weapons in circulation were bought by Kang Paopao further south, so the ratio of firearms in the Maratha coalition army was less than [-]%.

There are only a few muskets and cannons.

They are all old foundations accumulated when the Mughal Dynasty was still there. "

"The rate of firearms is so low, where does the Maratha Alliance have the courage to expel our envoys and start a war with the Tang Empire?!"

It is not that the Tang Empire did not try to resolve the Maratha Union issue through diplomacy, trying to incorporate the central part of the Indian subcontinent into its territory in the same way that northwest India controlled the princes of the state.

Anyway, the Tang Empire, as a foreign invader, had a small number of people and could not allocate much land. It occupied rich cities and transportation points. Large areas of ordinary villages and towns could be rewarded to those high-caste Indian nobles.

It's a pity that this road didn't work out...

After thinking for a few seconds, Luna guessed: "Maybe it's because the Maratha Alliance has a large number of people, which gave them the confidence to win?"

"A lot of people?
Hehe, let the gangsters of the Maratha Alliance take a look, wars are never fought over numbers!

This time I won't go on a personal expedition. The weak Maratha Alliance doesn't need to mobilize all its forces.

Didn't Da Si Ming always want to lead the army?

Leave the Maratha coalition forces to her.

Both the Orc Legion and the Yin Soldier Legion were transferred to him, plus [-] Japanese mercenaries and [-] guards in charge of artillery.

Added together, the total attack of more than 3 soldiers should be enough. "

Luna made a quick calculation in his heart, and replied: "With one against ten, the Tang Empire is enough to crush the Maratha Alliance!"

"Well, I'm sitting in the rear. There will be no chaos here in northwest India during the war, and there are still some rebel states in the Bengal area that need to be suppressed. A large number of newly arrived Japanese mercenaries are there, and I need to watch them. "

During the past two years, the expansion of the Tang Empire has not taken a step forward, and the weak Bengal region has been slowly being eaten by Japanese mercenaries.

After the downfall of the Mughal and Qing dynasties, this land fell into a chaotic warlord period and was easily manipulated by the Tang army.

But those Indian warlords all have their eyes high above the top, and they always feel that they are the one loved by the gods. The work of Tang Jun's persuasion to surrender is not going well.

Therefore, the Bangladesh area full of small warlords needs Japanese mercenaries to occupy the land a little bit.

Defeating those local Bengali warlords is not difficult, but this kind of step-by-step conquest is very time-consuming, and many people die!

The Japanese mercenaries transferred from the mainland basically fell on the battlefield in Bangladesh.

This is why Li Changqing is in charge of coordinating the center of Lahore.
