Chapter 413: Bengal Treaty
The Indian soldiers behind him didn't even see clearly what was going on, and were inexplicably shot and killed by the flying bullets. Especially those Indian soldiers seven or eight hundred meters away could not even see the Ming army's positions clearly! I thought this distance was very safe, but the result was a lot of tragedy.
After a crazy strafing, more than 50,000 Indian soldiers were killed on the spot. Shah Jahan used a telescope to observe the battlefield, and then looked confused and couldn't figure out what the situation was. Seeing that his army was shot in large numbers, he quickly lined up his 30,000 cavalry under his command, hoping that these cavalry could break through the Ming army's defense line with fast maneuver power, approach and massacre them.
The ground trembled and the cavalry began to charge.
These cavalrymen were indeed very fast, but under the strafing of the machine gun fire network, they were still shot one after another and killed on the spot.
However, the cavalry was also fast enough. When nearly half of these cavalry were killed, they finally rushed to the barbed wire defense line two hundred meters away from the Ming army.
An even more confused scene appeared, and the barbed wire blocked the cavalry's way, and the cavalry of the Womoer Dynasty had to be forced to stop.
As a result, he was shot and killed!
The bodies of people and horses fell to the ground, and these cavalry were blocked in front of the barbed wire, becoming the best targets. When the machine gun swept over there, blood splattered on the spot, and limbs were hit by machine gun bullets.
Some cavalry kept chopping the barbed wire, and finally they broke a gap. As a result, the machine gun began to focus on the gap, and the cavalry that rushed to the gap suddenly fell to the ground, and the bodies were blocked together with seventy-eight. Some fish that escaped the net continued to rush forward, but encountered a second barbed wire.
Oh my God!
At this time, the hearts of these Indian cavalry were simply collapsed. The Ming army in front of them was so stupid, they were so shameless!
The second barbed wire made the Indians desperate. In less than five or six minutes, the 30,000 cavalry were killed by machine guns. A few cavalry turned around and ran away. The Ming army machine gunners did not deliberately aim at any enemy, but actually poured firepower into places with more enemies and cooperated with other machine guns to form a cross-fire network, so there were still less than two or three thousand Indian cavalry escaped.
Looking back at the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, it was like a Shura Field. These Indian cavalry were very palpitations and were very grateful for saving their lives.
Shah Jahan was completely confused. The cavalry did not work. The war pattern in front of him had completely exceeded his way of thinking about war, becoming mysterious and unsolvable. A strong fear suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart. People were afraid of unknown things.
The Indian army immediately ordered a retreat, and the Indian army retreated for more than ten miles before stopping.
After counting the number of people, there were only about 180,000 left in the 300,000 army. Some were killed by the Ming army on the battlefield. Some fled and did not return to the team. They became defeated soldiers.
Under Gao Bangzo's order, the Ming army immediately launched a counterattack against the Indian army.
The Ming army walked out of the trench and carried machine guns to pursue the Indian army with horses. Shah Jahan was about to set up camp and planned to transfer a large number of troops from the rear. However, he found that the Ming army had launched a pursuit and quickly ordered a retreat. Fortunately, the Ming army was not so mobile and the pursuit was not fast.
However, the cities that Shah Jahan re-occupied were immediately fled after the Ming army killed a resolute attack.
The Indian people in the city were as happy as a festival. They welcomed the Ming army into the city. After the Ming army occupied these cities, the discipline was very strict and did not violate the ordinary Indian people. However, the Indian troops who occupied these cities again took advantage of the chaos to rob, force, and rape them, causing complaints.
Shah Jahan's army had been driven out by the Ming army for more than fifty kilometers, and the Ming army began to shrink to avoid being surrounded by the enemy's border too deep.
Although the Ming army had machine guns and was confident enough to break out of the encirclement, that was not safe enough. At this time, the Ming army's power in India was not enough to rule India. India's power was still relatively strong. It had not been bloodletting, nor did it divide and disintegrate and contact the nobles of India's native countries. Both sides were still relatively unfamiliar and needed a certain amount of time to contact.
The main purpose of this war was to force India to open up its commodity market so that Ming Dynasty goods could be dumped into India and obtain industrial raw materials from India.
After the Ming army shrank its troops, it immediately sent an envoy to contact Shah Jahan again.
Shah Jahan was still in fear at this time. When the Ming army envoy arrived, he finally lost his arrogant and ignorant temper.
This time, Shah Jahan was indeed a little scared of being beaten. The combat power shown by the Ming army was too terrifying and it was completely beyond the scope of understanding.
The Ming envoy told Shah Jahan that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to continue the war, and asked Shah Jahan to send personnel to sit at the negotiating table and talk about the truce.
Faced with the Ming Dynasty's request for negotiations, Shah Jahan was obviously powerless to refuse.
Although he was very unwilling to give up, he did not understand the details of the Ming army for the time being. Even the Ming army used it was not clear. It would be the best that this war could not be stopped. If he continued to fight, his ruling interests would be greatly shaken.
Ruling interests have always been the weakness of the rulers. Especially for the Mongolian peoples, India is equivalent to a place they conquered to enjoy the ruling interests. Since the Ming Dynasty is willing to talk, let’s talk to them!
While Shah Jahan began to gather troops, he sent people to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty made too much demand, he could only continue to fight.
The negotiations soon began. The Ming Dynasty proposed to transfer the land at the border between Bangladesh and India and the border between India and the later countries to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was willing to buy it at a price of 100,000 silver dollars. At the same time, it asked India to open the national commodity market.
This request made Shah Jahan furious. Opening the commodity market was not a big problem in Shah Jahan's opinion, but the Ming Dynasty wanted to cut off a piece of the territory in eastern India. Shah Jahan felt so heartbroken!
"We the emperor disagree. If you Ming Kingdom wants such a large piece of land, our India will use a huge army to fight you to the end."
"We are not afraid of you having too many people in the Ming Dynasty. We can increase our troops at any time. How many people come, our Ming Dynasty will destroy as much as we come."
The two sides were full of gunpowder at the negotiating table, and the negotiations between the two sides were in a deadlock. When they threatened each other, the Ming Dynasty was obviously more confident.
This deadlock lasted for nearly a month, but with the arrival of the second batch of Ming troops, the deadlock was quickly broken.
The Ming Dynasty increased its troops from Nanyang and threatened Shah Jahan.
"If these terms are not accepted, the Ming Dynasty will continue to increase its troops."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shah Jahan was scared to death and quickly sent someone to sign a treaty. At the end of the summer of the 12th year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty and India officially signed the Treaty of Bangladesh.
The content of the treaty was to open the commodity market in India and ced the Bangladesh region to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the treaty stipulated that Ming merchants were allowed to come to India to invest.
The door to capital has been opened to the Ming Dynasty.
The barriers to commodity trade have also been directly broken by the Ming Dynasty with military force. The army is the vanguard of capital expansion and its role is directly reflected.
After the signing of the treaty, nearly 20,000 Ming troops began to take over the military and administration of the Bangladesh region. The reason why Gao Bangzuo increased his troops was because the original troops were not enough to control these areas.
Of course, there are not many cities to control. There are not many people in the area bordering Myanmar, and many areas are still in a state of primeval forest.
At the beginning, the Ming army only occupied a few major cities in the Bangladesh region to prevent the troops from being too dispersed. At the same time, it began to form a ruling order, and subsequent personnel arrived in the Bangladesh region through fleets.
With the arrival of subsequent troops and personnel, the Ming army later became the center of the New Deal, and gradually expanded the scope of control.
Trade with India has also started again.
When the news of the victory was sent back to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed. Gao Bangzuo actually snatched the Bangladesh region and had already completed the task.
Zhu Youxiao immediately decided to continue to increase his troops by 20,000 to India, and at the same time sent a group of administrative personnel to implement the reform plan.
Local states were directly banned, and at the same time, they tried to abolish the caste system in the Bangladesh region and replicated the Ming Dynasty's management system.
Of course, the cost of doing this will be higher. If implemented throughout India, it will cause the millennium-year-old families in India to resist. However, the small-scale implementation in Bangladesh will not be too big. Moreover, the treaty has been signed, so India will not take the initiative to provoke the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.
However, as the scale of trade between the two sides expands, the war will obviously continue to break out. At that time, India will not break the contract, and the Ming Dynasty will continue to bleed to death, so it will continue to increase troops to India.
If the Ming Dynasty could successfully digest the Bangladesh region, then the supply in food and other aspects would not have to rely too much on the local area. At the same time, the Bangladesh region could produce a large amount of rice and jute and other farm products for the Ming Dynasty, and could also vigorously develop industries such as mining, fishery, and forestry, so as to make the local labor force to create wealth. In this way, the cake will not be too ruthless to squeeze it out, and you can gain greater benefits than rough plunder.
Colonials are generally divided into three levels. The one with the lowest technical content is Spain and the pure robber model. A little higher is the colonial period represented by Britain, and the plundering method is also relatively rough. There is no in-depth management of the colonies, and a large amount of labor is abandoned and idle. The one with the highest technical content is the colonial countries represented by the United States after World War II, which rely entirely on commercial plunder.
The Ming Dynasty has now occupied the Bangladesh region, which will become a province of the Ming Dynasty and connect to Tibet. It can also be considered as bordering the Ming Dynasty on land, which means that the roads on land are blocked.
With this map, Daming can interfere in India at any time in the future.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty needed to thoroughly digest Bangladesh and assimilate the local Indians, becoming a province that could not be divided. To achieve this goal, we must develop Bangladesh and carry out reforms and Chineseization. At the same time, we should not squeeze too hard. Except for the impossible transfer of important industries to Bangladesh, we should not squeeze too hard.
It will also become the best reason for the Ming Dynasty to invade India to eliminate the unfair caste system in India and allow the Ming Dynasty to play a just role in this war.
The Turkic Mongolians will be portrayed as the villain who enslaved the Indian people.
In the 12th year of Apocalypse, Bangladesh Province was established!
