Chapter 1388 Huaxia people asked me to pass a message
A luxurious stone building in Bangladesh, where a team of soldiers guarded it.
"What are you doing here? This is the governor's house!" The tall Indian Tumen soldiers surrounded a sneaky guy.
"I want to see the Governor!" shouted the man who looked short in his headscarf.
"What is the identity of the Governor? How can you, a low-class breed like you, see at will?" The tall guard grabbed the short little bastard and threw it out like garbage.
The short guy was not angry when he ate dust on the ground, and he put his face on his face with a thick face, smiling: "What I want to say to the Governor is related to the Chinese. Isn't His Majesty the Emperor ordering the expulsion of the Chinese? If the Governor is interested in what I report, maybe you will be rewarded by the Governor, otherwise a disaster will come!"
Although the tall guards looked down on this poor man from the low-level caste, when they heard that the report was related to the Chinese people who were troubled by the imperial emperor, they had to deal with this matter carefully.
"If you anger the Governor or say something unimportant, your life will be gone! You should be optimistic about him, and I will report it." A guard said to the others.
Bangladesh Governor Qasim is summoning several of his loyal confidants.
The emperor has ordered the expulsion of all people from the sea. In addition to the traditional Persian and Arab merchants, they were also allowed to trade, East Asian and European merchants were expelled together!
In order to complete the expulsion, the Mughals began to shrink their defense lines and no longer expand their territory. Instead, they focused on stabilizing their territory and fighting increasingly serious threats from the sea.
His Majesty the Emperor will personally lead the army to attack Kolkata and swear to drive the Chinese out of Bangladesh. This means that Bangladesh will set up a new army to assist His Majesty in siege. As the Governor of Bangladesh, he must also coordinate the food needed by the army and capture strong men to supplement the losses of the last major siege.
This time, the Mughal Emperor predicted that there would be as many as 70,000 expeditionary troops and auxiliary soldiers, and Bangladesh would have to raise an army of 30,000, totaling 100,000. It would be difficult to maintain such a large army.
"Governor General, there is a low-caste person outside who said he has something to do with the Chinese to report to you. How do you plan it..." The guard said in a low voice in the ear of the Bangladesh Governor Qasim.
Qasim was stunned for a moment. It was really strange that someone wanted to tell him such a thing at this critical moment.
"You go back and count the people first. I want to meet someone." Qasim was very strange, but the other party came to the door at this time and wanted to meet him no matter what.
A little slut was brought in.
"Who are you? If you can't say something that satisfies me, then your fate will be very miserable." Qasim doubted that such a person could have anything important to tell him.
"The villain is called A San. The Chinese people ask me to bring you a message..."
After the little slut successfully met Qasim, he suddenly raised his head and raised his chest, and went from smiling hippie to arrogant.
"Are you a Chinese lackey?!" Qasim angrily patted the chair.
It was the East India Company, which was manipulated by the Chinese, who built a bastion on the territory he managed, which caused him to suffer heavy losses in the siege!
"At least they regard us low-level castes as half-persons, and in the eyes of your high-level castes, we probably are not even as good as a dog. Forget it, the villain is not here to argue with the adults, but the Chinese people ask me to bring you a message." Asan looked at the guards beside Qasim and signaled them to retreat.
"You guys go back, he doesn't dare to do anything to me," said Qasim.
"Yes." Several guards glared at Ah San before leaving.
"Tell me, what are the benefits the Chinese have given you? What's the matter with me?" said Qasim.
"Governor General, I wonder if you want to be the lord of a country and don't have to commit yourself to the jurisdiction of the Mughal Emperor?" said Ah San.
A look of surprise appeared in Qasim's eyes, and he immediately became angry: "Are you trying to bribe me?! I am the Governor of Bangladesh, and I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. How can a villain like you buy it!"
"I just conveyed it on my behalf that the Chinese merchants wanted to trade with the empire, but the empire's princes wanted to drive us away. This really violated that... Yes, it violated the spirit of free trade. If you are willing to cooperate with us, the Chinese said that they can help the adults become independent from the Mughal Empire. In the future, even if you establish an independent kingdom in Bangladesh, you will be a king, which is much better than being a slave called by the emperor." Asan said.
"Stop it! This is to make me betray the empire!" Qasim reached out to stop Asan's words. He never thought that he would be bribed by people from lower castes.
"If a man does not punish himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! The governor really doesn't want to be a king, and he doesn't have to rely on the breath of the imperial emperor?" Asan continued to tempt the Bangladesh Governor.
"No need to say more, get out of here, otherwise I will have someone kill you!" Qasim was a little annoyed.
Separating from the Mughal Empire into an independent kingdom, and from a local magistrate to a king of a country was a tempting suggestion for Qasim. But he considered more...
"If you are not willing to become the king of Bangladesh, then the Chinese will find new partners from other kings to help him become the king of Bangladesh. We just want to establish a trade relationship with the actual ruler of Bangladesh. This is really our helpless choice when the Mughal Emperor expels us..." After Ah San finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Kasim looked at A San's leaving figure, thought uneasy for a while, and called out a few guards: "Take back the little bastard just now."
After a while, Ah San was brought back by the guards.
"What are the abilities of the Chinese to help a prince become the king of Bangladesh? If you rebel from the empire, you will be besieged by the emperor's army and other provincial troops. No one can stop the crushing of 100,000 cavalry on land. The reason why the Chinese built the battalion near the Hugli River is easy to defend but difficult to attack is that it can obtain support through water. If the Ganges plain leaves the river, there is no danger to defend." Qasim said.
"We learned that the emperor was going to personally conquer our fortress. If the emperor's army was defeated in the battle, then the emperor's prestige would plummet. At that time, the empire was in turmoil and you would become the king of Bangladesh and sign a free trade agreement with us. We promise to only operate along the river and not interfere in your affairs." Asan made a generous speech.
