Daming Military Empire

Chapter 409 The End of the Dynasty
When the news of Batavia's capture reached Goa, Zhu Cijiong couldn't believe his ears. He knew how terrifying Batavia's city defenses were. Winning, this record is really shocking.

Immediately afterwards, the news that the combined fleet of the anti-Habsburg alliance was wiped out in the Sulu Sea came one after another. The super fleet of the first-class legion was easily won, what kind of military genius is this!

In fact, in history, whether it is the history of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the great powers, the evaluation of Zheng Chenggong is quite high. Most of the words used are heroes, geniuses, great weapons, thousands of miles, etc., which is enough to prove that he is military. His talent is very high, if not for the desperate situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would have become a peerless star!
Wu Yanhua, the order of Dongfan in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a couplet saying:
The spirit of Zhongheyue is Shengchao Mianzhengshuo;

Living by the sea, I know that there are saints in China.

It is a pity that such a military genius, such a national hero, was forced by the situation at that time, and finally died of grief and indignation. However, in the Chongzheng Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong either felt his loyalty or respected his patriotism, so he trained him as a navy Grand Marshal, it can be said that he was placed in the most suitable position by mistake. In this life, with the strong strength of the Ming Empire as the backing, he will surely shine!

To be honest, Zhu Cijiong has never really paid attention to Zheng Chenggong's military talent. The reason why he was cultivated and reused is mainly because he is one of the most famous national heroes in history. Only now did Zhu Cijiong understand that this naval general If it is true, he is none other than him, this is a treasure I picked up!
The stumbling block of the anti-Habsburg alliance has been kicked away, and the occupation of the Mughal Empire is almost a foregone conclusion. South Asia is about to be included, and the situation is very good. In this case, there is no need to rush to attack the Mughals The capital of the empire is gone. Anyway, foreign aid has been cut off. It is only a matter of time before the Mughal Empire is taken down. What should be considered now is to avoid casualties of soldiers as much as possible.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong deliberately sent a telegram to the front line. He directly quoted eight words from "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "Attacking the mind is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom." This means telling Lu Xiangsheng not to attack forcefully, but to persuade Lu Xiangsheng to surrender if he can , Minimize casualties of soldiers.

He sent this telegram in a timely manner. Lu Xiangsheng had already arrived at Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, and was about to use his life to fill it up and take Delhi quickly. When he received the telegram from the emperor, he immediately understood that the emperor was here. Let him make an emergency landing on Shah Jahan instead of storming Delhi.

The 30 army went to attack the city of Derry, which was garrisoned by only 10 people. Lu Xiangsheng was fully confident that he would take it down, and at most he would lose tens of thousands of horses. The so-called "one general wins and ten thousand bones die", and tens of thousands of horses are exchanged for a huge empire. This business is not bad at all, he thought so before, but now, since the emperor wants to send a letter, he can't take human life to fill it.

He would naturally do such things as forcing the enemy to land. After arriving outside the city of Derry, he was not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded the city of Derry. Then, he directly set up artillery and bombarded all sides for several days. When the arrow stacks on the four walls were almost blasted, he directly wrote a letter of persuasion and shot it into the city. The meaning was simple:
Batavia has been occupied by us, and the United Fleet has also been wiped out by us. Don't expect foreign aid. If you are sensible, go out of the city and surrender!

Since the Ming Empire promoted Chinese teaching all over the world, there are still quite a few people in Delhi who understand Chinese. When the translators translated Lu Xiangsheng's meaning to Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan's heart was shaken.

He doesn't think that the Ming Empire is bragging. For such a long time, there has been no news from Batavia. At least it proves that the big powers cannot break through the blockade of Ming Dynasty and come to support. As for whether Batavia is occupied or not. It doesn't really matter to him, he only cares about whether the support from the big powers can arrive, and what does the ownership of Batavia have to do with him!
Now it seems that the support of the great powers can no longer be counted on, so the only thing left is to negotiate and seek peace. As for stubbornly resisting to the end, he is not an idiot. The army of Wan is slowly approaching, one hundred thousand against 30, an idiot thinks that he can still win.

Soon Shah Jahan sent representatives for peace talks, put bamboo baskets into the city, found Lu Xiangsheng, and conveyed his wish for peace talks. Shah Jahan's meaning was also very simple:
There is no problem with ceding land and paying compensation, just ask the Ming Empire to retreat!
This master Lu Xiangsheng can't be the master, he sent a telegram directly to Goa, asking the emperor to make a decision.

Zhu Cijiong is not an idiot, you have reached this level, do you still want Daming to retreat so that you can recover your strength and take revenge?
He sent a strongly worded telegram directly:

Let Shah Jahan open the city and surrender, and order all local officials of the Mughal Empire to surrender to the Ming Empire unconditionally, otherwise, when the city is broken, his nine clans will be killed!

Hearing this reply, the peace envoy of the Mughal Empire broke out in a cold sweat. He had no choice but to go back to the city and ask Shah Jahan for instructions.

In fact, Shah Jahan also knew that the Mughal Empire was over, and it was impossible for the Ming Empire to let him continue to sit in this position. The so-called "excessive asking price to pay back the money", the reason why he asked the Ming Empire to withdraw its troops was just to find out It was just the bottom line of the Ming Empire. Now it seemed that the bottom line of the Ming Empire was very low. At most, he could save his life, and there was basically no hope for the rest.

Will the Ming Empire really save his own life? This question must be clarified, so he threw the peace talk envoy down the city wall in a bamboo basket, and asked him to quickly ask how the Ming Empire could guarantee not to kill him.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know about this question either, so he sent another telegram to Goa to ask the emperor for instructions.

This problem is easy to handle, Zhu Cijiong directly reported: There is a state guesthouse in the capital of the Ming Empire, with picturesque scenery, and when the time comes, a large courtyard will be specially surrounded by the Mughal imperial family in the state guesthouse, for them to live in, and to ensure that they have good food and clothing , pampered for a lifetime!

This condition was quite good. After hearing the envoy's report, Shah Jahan reluctantly accepted it, but he was still worried. He threw the peace envoy to the city again and asked Daming, how can he guarantee that this is not a lie?He had never heard of such a thing!
What's so deceiving about this kind of thing, like Liu Chan, the prince of Adou in the Three Kingdoms period, was raised up, and left behind the idiom allusion of "I don't want to miss Shu", and Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was also the king of subjugation. The eternal swan song "When is the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon" was left in the confinement palace.

Of course, Li Yu was killed by Song Taizu for an excuse because of this eternal masterpiece, but Daming is not so boring, and it is impossible for Shah Jahan to make such an eternal masterpiece. There is no need to ask the emperor for this matter. Pushed back: "Da Ming is a country of etiquette, and the heaven is a kingdom. When have you ever heard that Daming is going back on what he says?"

Hearing the words conveyed by the envoy, Shah Jahan finally surrendered, and a huge dynasty perished.

Just when Shah Jahan surrendered, Zhu Cijiong, who was far away in Goa, heard the long-lost voice of the system beauty again. What is the system reward this time?
