Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1071 An Easy Conquest
After some twists and turns, the fleet that was blown away by the storm finally regrouped. Although a lot of soldiers and supplies were lost, the overall strength is still there.Not only that, they also took down the strategically important Ceylon Island, which was a blessing in disguise.Of course, their good luck was the bad luck of the Dutch. This storm brought the No. [-] calamity to them, and lost the territory at once.Of course, the worse thing was to come. Their move to snatch the flagship of the Ming fleet was tantamount to a slap in the face of the entire Ming navy. This debt must be settled. Yang Menglong was not joking when he said he would declare war on the Netherlands!

The fleet suffered a lot of losses in this storm. Of course, Yang Menglong had to find a way to make up for it. He ordered the captured Dutch soldiers to be sold as slaves to the kings of the land. As for whether they would be used as cattle or horses after the sale Breeding is the business of those earth kings, and he can't control it. The "Dutch brand" slaves were very popular among the local kings, and the local kings rushed to buy them. No matter what, they had to buy a few back.The Dutch occupied the island of Ceylon in the past few years, and they have done a lot of things like occupying land and massacring tribes. It is commonplace for conflicts to break out with the local kings. When they are powerful, those local kings can only grit their teeth, but Now that they have been defeated and become captives, the earth kings will naturally avenge their grievances and revenge, and take these guys back as human sacrifices to comfort the souls of their clansmen who died tragically at the hands of the Dutch!Of course, there are also more discerning ones.Some ignorant but clever earth kings thought that if the Dutch were so good at fighting, their offspring must be excellent, so they bought them back to the women of their own tribe, hoping to produce a group of brave and good fighters like these Dutch soldiers. Warriors...meeting such a discerning Dutch captive would really wake up from a dream!
Selling these prisoners of war made Yang Menglong a small profit, but compared to the losses caused by the storm, this small amount of money was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. If he wanted to turn his losses into profits, he had to use the idea of ​​the famous kingdom of cows.So after the situation in Colombo stabilized a bit, he left [-] soldiers to guard the occupied area, and he led the fleet to sail out to sea, pointing directly at India.

In India at this time, the Mughal Dynasty was in decline and its national power was gradually declining. The Netherlands, Portugal, Britain and other countries came one after another to establish colonial strongholds in the coastal areas of India, and even fought for the colonial strongholds. The Mughal Dynasty did not care about this. There is no way.But India should feel lucky. The British navy is essentially just a group of merchants and pirates. It is not strong in Asia. The Netherlands and Portugal do not have the ambition to become a big country. They can occupy some important ports and establish colonial strongholds. Satisfied, conquer the whole of India?Haha, with their small population, they really took over India, and they still don’t know who conquered whom!Those who are ambitious do not have the strength, and those who have strength do not have the ambition. So Ah San can still happily farm, worship God, and be a girl. When he is in a good mood, he dances, sings, and dances to "I Played in the Mud in the Northeast." They were living happily, completely unaware that the threat from the sea was gradually deepening, and the entire South Asian subcontinent was about to face catastrophe.

However, this time the catastrophe came ahead of schedule.

No one knows where this Black Legion came from. They drove hundreds of warships, set off from Ceylon Island like a storm-driven dark cloud, crossed the sea, appeared in the Bay of Bengal, and then indiscriminately The ground launched a fierce attack on the merchant ships and warships of the Netherlands, Portugal, Britain and other countries occupying this place. The naval guns with amazing calibers spit out thunderous fireballs. There is no difference in the blur, large groups of flames burst into the sky from various ports, and in just a few days, all the warships and armed merchant ships of the Europeans in the Bay of Bengal were sent to the bottom of the sea. I still don't know who is beating them!

After destroying all the warships of the Europeans in the Bay of Bengal, this fleet rushed into the port and landed forcibly. A large number of warriors in black clothes and black helmets landed and launched a fierce attack on the Europeans.The Dutch were the first to be attacked. They used huge stones to build a large bastion at the mouth of the Ganges, with 700 people stationed inside. The moon couldn't move, so the troops had to withdraw. Therefore, this bastion was also called "the fortress that never fell".This time, the unfallen fortress is once again facing a huge threat, and the black army has already killed it.

The Dutch first sent 400 people to leave the bastion to fight the opponent. According to the code of practice, they built fortifications outside the bastion, and prepared to use the fortifications to deal with the opponent.However, they didn't have such an opportunity. As soon as they entered the fortification, there was a sudden scream, and the thunderbolt shells smashed over and fell into the fortification, blowing the Dutch soldiers to pieces.Although the accuracy of the thunderbolt cannon is limited, ten shots may not be able to hit one shot, but the flying shrapnel does not have any accuracy problems, and it is dead if it is hit!Before the official battle, the Dutch lost more than 100 people. As a last resort, they had to leave the fortifications and flee back to the bastion.At this time, the opponent's musket rang out, and the volleys of guns came one after another, knocking down the Dutch soldiers in pieces, and the corpses lay on the ground just 200 meters away from the gate of the bastion, which was terrible.As soon as the Dutch were shocked, the black army began to attack the city. Eight 120mm naval guns removed from the warship were pushed to a distance of 400 meters and blasted at the bastion. The shells hit the bastion wall and exploded. Rushing, gravel flying across, the entire bastion was shaking and breaking, and many Dutch people were shaken to death.After firing hundreds of shells, the Black Army Corps began to charge, set up a ladder to climb up the bastion, and began to clean up the remnants of the enemy.They used a pistol that could fire repeatedly at the Dutchman who was blown out of his body, and threw a small shell with a huge explosive power into the corner where someone might hide--this small shell was used by each of their soldiers. Carrying several pieces, swinging one over, definitely more than one or two will die!If the Dutch soldiers rushed in front of them, they would pull out a machete with a wide front and a narrow back with a dog-leg arc to slash. Can stab, in the hands of these guys, it is a terrible killing weapon. Many Dutch soldiers were crippled by this machete. Some arms were cut off shoulder-to-shoulder, and some necks were cut along the shoulders. , Some abdomens were cut open and their internal organs exposed to the air... The Ganges Bastion, known as the fortress that never fell, was breached within a day and turned into a cemetery for the Dutch soldiers who guarded the bastion.

Then this army in black was out of control. They attacked towns and villages everywhere, whether they were Europeans or Indians. .They have no reverence for religion, temples with a long history are just shit in their eyes, and the most honorable Brahmin priests are the most ideal targets for extorting huge ransoms... They seem to have crawled out of hell The god of death devoured countless lives without mercy, and drove tens of thousands of natives from their homes to fend for themselves.The natives fought hard to keep their homeland, but their resistance was crushed mercilessly by heavy artillery and muskets. Their tenacious resistance only resulted in more tragic blows... A Brahmin priest who fled from Bangladesh in a hurry looked at the temple When it burned, the flames wailed: "God, please be merciful, and free us from the clutches of these evil spirits from hell!"

Bengal is the fat that the Mughals swallowed less than 100 years ago. Of course, the Mughals are not willing to spit it out like this.Three months after the Black Army invaded Bangladesh, Emperor Shah Jahan of the Mughal Dynasty mobilized an army of 13 people and collected more than 400 warships. He claimed to have an army of 40 men and marched towards Bangladesh in a mighty manner.This army gathered most of the elites of the Mughal Dynasty, with 2 fierce Sikh cavalry, [-] Landseer archers, [-] war elephants, and [-] soldiers who paid a lot of money to buy from the Dutch. The cannons purchased in Libuy, and the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, which were beaten badly, also gathered thousands of people to participate in the battle, and the opponents...according to reliable information, they only had [-] people to survive. There is no reason for such a huge advantage. Can't win.

The Indians went up confidently.

The Black Legion really didn't dare to confront them head-on... They gave up a lot of occupied land and retreated quickly, but every time they retreated, they would lay a lot of landmines, fill up wells, burn houses, and throw a lot of rotten dead bodies into the river to pollute the water source Occasionally, some food was left for the Indians, and a lot of rotten food was mixed in it. The fast-advancing Indian army was killed and injured by landmines every day. As for drinking polluted water and eating unclean food Countless people fell ill due to food. Before the two sides fought much, the Indian army was full of wounded soldiers.Raja Khan had to order a large army to attack the port, trying to seize the port to obtain supplies by sea. He knew very well that if this continued, he would have no army to bring!
The army arrived at the port smoothly, and also waited for the fleet full of supplies.However, the fleet with the black flag appeared immediately, and rushed towards the transport fleet like a shark smelling blood. Many large ships were all sent to the bottom of the sea, and not a single plank was left for him.

Now Raja Khan finally realized that the general situation was not good. He didn't care about his face, abandoned a large number of wounded soldiers, and led tens of thousands of elite soldiers such as Sikh cavalry and Landseer archers to retreat quickly.But it’s easy to come, but difficult to leave. The Black Legion, which had been avoiding the battle before, appeared like a ghost, and the troops were divided into four groups to launch a fierce attack. In the phalanx, the cavalry slammed into the phalanx like a speeding iron wall and killed the Sikh cavalry who had four times the strength of the opponent with their horses and sabers. Panic inevitably spread.Raja Khan found that the opponent seemed to be pure infantry, without fortifications to cover, and sent dozens of war elephants to attack the enemy's formation desperately. As soon as these behemoths were dispatched, shells slammed at them... The black army quickly completed their encirclement, 1 Tens of thousands of muskets spewed death-threatening flames, the roar of dozens of cannons shook the earth, the whole sky was burning when the rocket launchers fired, and the screams and cries of Indian soldiers resounded through the sky...

This was the worst defeat of the Mughal Dynasty since the founding of the country. It was not so much a battle as a massacre.In just one afternoon, Raja Khan and the 5 troops around him were finished. They were completely finished. Including the emperor and a large number of civil servants and generals, more than 1 people became delicious meals at the crow feast, and more than 1 people were injured. Not long after their death, more than [-] people were captured, and only a few thousand escaped. After this battle, the elite soldiers of the Mughal Dynasty were almost wiped out, and the whole of India was shocked!
A month later, the black army came to the city with Rajahan's head and armor and surrounded the capital of the Mughal dynasty, Delhi.After three months of siege, the impoverished Mughal dynasty surrendered under the leadership of the queen. The black army entered Delhi, looted all the gold, silver and jewels in the city, and set fire to the city. The fire lasted for three days.

The city of Delhi was breached, and the royal family and hundreds of officials surrendered, which meant that the Mughal Dynasty had come to an end. This result shocked most people.Although India has been conquered countless times, it is the first time that it has been conquered in such a short period of time.Fortunately, the Black Legion seems to have no intention of annexing the whole of India. After destroying the city of Delhi, they returned to Bengal with their spoils and returned a land without a leader to the Indians.Of course, there are not a few people who are determined to revenge, but the vast majority of Indian princes found that compared with defeating the black army, the throne seemed more attractive...

Civil war inevitably broke out, and it got out of hand.
