Daming Military Empire

Chapter 162 Ask Daming for Help
If you want to talk about the misery of being colonized in the early days, digging a mine or something is actually nothing. It is common to be caught as a slave for no reason. The worst thing is that no matter how honest and obedient you are, you endure the torture Being enslaved and oppressed, the colonists still killed as much as they wanted, and often died inexplicably.

Here I still want to talk about the illiterate adventurer Pizarro. After he captured the emperor of the Inca Empire, he came up with a way to make money. He asked the Incas to fill a room 22 feet long, 17 feet wide, and 8 feet high with gold. rooms, to redeem their emperor.Although the emperor of the Inca Empire was imprisoned, his subjects still obeyed his orders from prison. When Pizarro's treasury was filled with gold from all over the empire, Pizarro still brought the Inca Empire The emperor was killed!
This is a true story, which illustrates the cruelty of the early colonists from the side. Therefore, after the kingdom of Mysore was occupied by Kunde and Shivela, the mining of the whole people was just the beginning, a small start, and countless sufferings Torture is waiting for these Ah Sans.

For example, each person has to hand over 60 catties of iron ore every month. There are at least 6000 million people in the kingdom of Mysore. If each person has [-] catties, it will be [-] to [-] million catties a month. Our Emperor Chongzheng But they didn't want so much iron ore, so why did Shivira let them dig so much?

In fact, this is a small trick played by Shivela and Kong Dede, one hundred catties per person, they know that it is basically impossible, unless you happen to be next to the iron mine, and the iron mine is particularly easy to dig, otherwise the family Five or six people is five or six hundred catties, where to dig.If you can't dig it, okay, grab it, saying that it's just an excuse to grab it and mine, but in fact, you will be a slave after you catch it, and you have to do whatever you want, or you will be killed directly!And this iron ore will always be dug out one day, when the time comes, everyone will become slaves, this trick is not poisonous!

Why catch so many slaves?There are many things that can be done. There is no need to dig iron mines, but gold mines still need to be dug. If the gold mines really can't stand people, they can still let them farm the land. Food, spices and so on are very profitable.As for where the land comes from, in such a large place, just draw a circle. Those who know the common people in the circle will get out quickly, and those who don't know the way will directly collect people and land together. The early colonists were so barbaric!
Of course, these are things that will happen in the future. Shivela and Kundde have just occupied the kingdom of Mysore, and there are still many things waiting for them to do. After robbing the ministers and robbing the merchants, and robbing the merchants and robbing the civilians, there is nothing faster than robbing money.

There is another more important thing, and that is to deal with the crusade of the Mughal Empire.

In other words, they took over other people's vassal states so blatantly, why didn't the Mughal Empire respond at all?Could it be that their original suzerain, the Mughal Empire, has declined to the point where it is about to perish?Of course not, as I said before, now is the time when the Mughal Empire is at its strongest.

Since the Mughal Empire was so powerful, why didn't they send troops to save it?Is the immediate boss Aurangzeb, Governor of the Deccan, a useless softie?No, on the contrary, this Aurangzeb is still a ruthless character. Although he is only the third prince of the current Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, he finally won the throne of the Mughal Empire ,why?Because he killed his eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother, the old emperor Shah Jahan was also imprisoned to death by him!
Naturally, such a ruthless character would not be afraid of a mere 1 Portuguese troops. The reason why he didn't come was because he underestimated the strength of these 1 Portuguese troops. The combat effectiveness of more than 3 indigenous troops.

In his opinion, even if he led the elite of the empire to conquer the kingdom of Mysore, he would have to bring at least 3 or 1 horses. If 1 horses were to bring down such a large kingdom, it would be too much. The [-] natives No matter how poor the combat effectiveness of the army is, as long as they defend the city, there is really nothing they can do if [-] people will take them in a short while.

He thought that the kingdom of Mysore could hold out for a few months even at the worst, and even beat back the more than 1 Portuguese troops directly. Therefore, after receiving the news, he did not immediately mobilize troops to reinforce, but stayed there. Wait, after all, it will cost a lot for the army to go on an expedition. Of course it would be best not to go. In case the Mysore state kingdom can't stand it, it won't be too late for him to save it, so he can save a few months military spending.

He didn't expect that the idiot king of Tubang would send all 3 horses to intercept the Portuguese army halfway, and he was beaten and wiped out by the whole army!When he learned that the Tubang king had surrendered shamelessly, he began to gather his troops to prepare for the crusade, but it was already a few days later.

Another prince might hesitate to come over, but Aurangzeb would not. He is such a ruthless person, and he was the only one who took the initiative to slap others in the face. He had never been slapped in the face so nakedly.

what to do?One word, do it.

The day after he received the news, he set off with 30 elite soldiers directly under him. Of course, his power in the army is far more than that. He has subdued all the surrounding imperial troops in the past few years as the governor of the Deccan. Really desperate, he can assemble at least [-] to [-] troops, otherwise he would not be able to finally seize the throne of the Mughal Empire.

This time the enemy was only [-] Portuguese troops. He believed that the [-] elite soldiers under his command were enough, so he did not mobilize troops from other places to help.

So what are Kundd and Shivela doing?They are dividing up the spoils. Although the kingdom of Mysore is only a vassal state of the Mughal Empire, it has a territory of more than 10 square kilometers, hundreds of thousands of people under its rule, and is rich in gold, so the king of the kingdom They are still very rich, not counting other jewels, silver, and copper coins for the time being, they just grabbed tens of thousands of taels of gold. Based on the value ratio of [-]:[-] between gold and silver, the gold alone is worth tens of millions of taels of silver. !
How to divide so much money?Logically speaking, Shivira contributed the most, and he should share the bulk of the money, but this is Kong Dede's territory anyway. If it weren't for their good relationship, they might not be willing to let you send troops to make money.So after they discussed it, they simply added two to one to make five, and one person got half of it.

In the end, each of them got gold, silver and jewelry worth nearly 600 million taels, and there was more than [-] taels of silver left. They planned to distribute it to Luo Siwei to thank him for his help to them during this time.

Luo Siwei suddenly received such a huge sum of money, the whole person was frightened, what a joke, although he is a general, his salary is only a hundred taels a month, so much money, he will not be able to earn it all his life.He is not the kind of corrupt person, so he refused at first, but Shivira insisted on giving it, so he had no choice but to accept it, just as Mysore was defeated, and the New Year's Eve was approaching , He is about to pack up and go back to Daming, when he returns to the capital, let the emperor make a decision.

Just when Kong Dede and Shi Weila were about to send Luo Siwei and two hundred Ming 'military advisers' back to China, the three traitors came to report, and the Deccan governor Aurangzeb led an army of [-] to kill them!The three traitors refer to the traitors in Ah Sanzhong, which is not surprising at all. When the forest grows up, there are all kinds of birds. Daming can produce so many traitors, and there must be more three traitors in Ah San.

Now Kong Dede and Shivira are a little scared. This Mughal Empire is not an indigenous country, but a very powerful feudal dynasty. Their weapons are not bad, with armor, iron shields, and crossbows. There are also a certain number of muskets, and the [-] army is not a joke. They have [-] recruits and [-] veterans, and they may not be able to do anything better than others!
what to do?After much deliberation, they could only turn to Luo Siwei for help. He had participated in a battle with millions of people, and they overthrew the Houjin army, which was stronger than the Mughal Empire army. He should be able to do this with only 5 people. Deal with it.

Luo Siwei was about to go home for the New Year, and now he couldn't leave. He had no choice but to take someone's hand short. They gave so much money, and it was really unreasonable not to help.Besides, Earl Shivira is considered a celebrity in front of the emperor. If he leaves like this, the earl will be killed by the enemy. It is estimated that the emperor will never spare him.

After listening to their description of the enemy army, Luo Siwei was not afraid at all. The army of the Mughal Empire was only equivalent to the Mongolian army. If he had [-] elite guards, he would be able to rush up and kill them. All down.

It’s hard to say that there are [-] new recruits and [-] veterans. If they can use barrage to attack, they have a chance of winning in the wild, but the problem is that they bought their muskets and cannons from Daming, and they are only equipped with a base number. With bullets and shells, the barrage attack lasted at most half an hour. It is really hard to say whether it can wipe out [-] enemy troops. If the bullets and shells are all fired and the enemy is not wiped out, it will be dangerous.But if you just defend the city, there should be no problem, so Luo Siwei decided to defend the city of Mysore and wait for the enemy to attack.

Aurangzeb's army arrived at the city of Mysore the next day. They were not in a hurry to attack the city, but set up camp three miles away to make siege equipment.Luo Siwei took a closer look with the binoculars, and the army on the opposite side was really unusual. At least the armor of the generals and the shields of the soldiers could not be pierced by muskets. Fortunately, he had already ordered people to work together to move a hundred howitzers to the city wall yesterday. Otherwise, the defense of this city is really a bit dangerous.

There is nothing to say about making siege equipment. Anyway, it is nothing more than well rails, ladders and siege vehicles. In this regard, the army of the Mughal Empire is similar to that of Ming Dynasty, because they are descendants of Mongols and Turks. , the tactics are extremely similar to those of Ming Dynasty.

On the fourth day, Aurangzeb, who had just finished building the siege equipment, launched a fierce attack on the city of Mysore. Luo Siwei taught him a good lesson with artillery and guns. In front of the bullets, the army he was proud of was beaten to pieces. After three days of attack, they could barely climb the city wall, and were quickly stabbed down by the Portuguese army above.

After losing nearly 2 horses, Aurangzeb finally couldn't stand the retreat. Kong Dede and Shivira were about to celebrate their victory, but a group of traitors poured cold water on them inappropriately.Only then did they know that Aurangzeb's ferocity and cruelty are not inferior to them at all. This guy eats everything, but he has never suffered. Moreover, he has more than such a small army. He must have summoned a large army when he retreated. , When I come again, it is estimated that it will not be 15, at least 30, or [-] or [-]!

Both Shivela and Conded were terrified, what a joke, the 15 army alone consumed half of their ammunition, and how could they survive another [-]!
Kong Dede’s intestines are green with regret now. In fact, when Luo Siwei commanded 800 recruits to easily defeat 1000 indigenous troops, he had already coveted Daming’s muskets and cannons, but after asking Shi Weila the price, he was a little bit reluctant Well, this batch of guns alone costs [-] million taels of silver. You must know that the assets of his entire family are now more than [-] million taels of silver, so he wants to wait until he has fished in Mysore for a year or two. Buying, I didn't expect the Mughal Empire to respond so quickly, and they didn't give him time to make money at all.

It's too late to say anything now. It will take at most one or two months for people to gather an army. It takes such a long time to buy weapons from Daming, and they still need to recruit people and practice. It's too late.

what to do?Are you going to go back like this?After finally occupying such a large and fertile place, he just retreated like this, he is really not reconciled!
He is not reconciled, and Shivira is even more reconciled than him. You must know that he promised His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to send 200 million catties of iron ore a month. If Mysore is lost, where can he find so much? Iron ore go!

At this time, he could only gamble. He asked Luo Siwei to write a letter for him. The content of the letter was very simple. It was to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help for the sake of the allies!
