Chapter 11 Asan is miserable
Being behind means being beaten. This is the most incisive description of the relationship between countries. It can be said that being backward is the biggest original sin of all colonized countries. The reason why the great powers can colonize and plunder everywhere in the world with a mere little land is because their weapons are advanced than others. There is never a reason to say between countries. Big fists are the truth, and the others are fake.
Countries like the Mysore Tuban Kingdom have vast land and abundant resources, but they remained in the early days of feudal society. They only knew how to slash and fire, but did not know how to develop advanced weapons. They all entered the seventeenth century and they still fought with big swords and spears. It was only a matter of time before they were colonized.
Of course, they could have enjoyed more than a hundred years of peace. It was not until the British and French troops set foot on this land that they would be enslaved and exploited. But who told the later generations that Ah San was too arrogant, which made our Emperor Chongzheng very unhappy with them. Therefore, their tragedy came early.
Ten thousand Portuguese troops holding flintlock rifles and howitzers were really bullying against 30,000 indigenous armed forces holding big swords and spears. The battle can be said to have ended before it even began.
Because the indigenous army of the Mysore Territory Kingdom was sieve by sudden artillery shells and bullets before they could assemble. The rest of the indigenous army was captured and captured. Ten thousand new soldiers surrounded them and one hundred cavalry blocked them in front. The remaining indigenous army had completely lost the courage to resist. They threw away their weapons in horror, knelt on the ground and surrendered.
There is no need to doubt why the battle was so easy. As mentioned earlier, Pizarro, a illiterate adventurer in Spain, defeated the 80,000 indigenous army of the Inca Empire with less than 200 people. If the Inca Empire was too far away, then the British East India Company and the Mughal Empire, the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Qing Dynasty were all troops of more than 10,000 people to defeat an empire with a terrifying territory. Therefore, indigenous countries like the Mysore Territory Kingdom are really not worth a joke.
There was a little embarrassing problem after the battle. Although a large area was overturned by a rain of bullets, there were more than 10,000 people left. It would be a pity to kill these prisoners. They were all good laborers, but they were eager to capture the kings of the country. The speed of bringing these prisoners would definitely be extremely slow, and it would be troublesome if they ran away.
In the end, Schvira and Condede had to separate some of their troops to deal with the issue of prisoners. Schvira and Condede continued to rush to Mysore City with 10,000 new soldiers and 100 cavalry to capture their king, while Condede's 1,000 musketeers led more than 10,000 prisoners back to Goa. For them, slaves were also wealth, and it was a pity to lose them.
As for the wounded people lying all over the ground, according to Schvira and Condede, they wanted to kill them all, but Luo Siwei was really unacceptable. He could not be kind to the enemy during the battle. Now that people have lost their ability to resist, they have to kill all of them, that is, massacre. He thinks there is no need for this.
Schvira and Condede didn't care. It was nothing to let them go. There was no threat to not be injured. Now that they were injured, there was nothing to worry about. In the end, they just threw it away and let them fend for themselves.
The king of the Mysore Kingdom was also naive. He believed that these colonists, like the Mughal Empire, defeated him just to make him pay tribute. He only paid a part of his income every year and would not deprive him of his rule over the kingdom. Therefore, when he heard that the front was defeated, he did not abandon the city and fled, but instead led all the senior officials to wait outside the city gate for the arrival of the envoys of the upper country!
According to his thoughts, Mysore was originally a vassal state of the Mughal Empire, and now he is just a change of the sect leader country. It is no big deal. If you surrender to the envoys of the Supreme Kingdom and say a few good words, he will still be his king.
Is this king so easy to behave? When Condede and Schvira saw the king of the Mysore Kingdom waiting outside the city, the greed and desire in their eyes were simply frightening. Fortunately, the king and all the ministers were bowing their heads and did not see the horrifying light in their eyes.
Shivera and Condede are naturally familiar with this kind of thing. Isn’t it just a deception of the ignorant natives? They don’t know how many times they have acted in this drama, Soyi.
The greed and desire in their eyes did not last long. Soon they changed into a compassionate face and promoted the glory of the Lord. How kind the Lord is. He really couldn't bear it when he saw that you were poor and backward, and were bullied by the Mughal Empire, so he specially sent us to save you!
Fortunately, they brought in the native translator, otherwise their speech would have been in vain. So were these natives moved?
Although the king of the Mysore Kingdom was naive, he was not an idiot. I just acted? I will accompany you to play it. Fortunately, it was a literary drama, but if it was a martial drama, it would be impossible. He now admired his wisdom. It was indeed a change of soup and no medicine. This is much more polite to the Portuguese envoy than the Mughal Empire. He had to accompany them to play the show well.
So when the indigenous translator finished translating their speech, the king immediately cried out in gratitude and sincerely invited them to the palace to enjoy a sumptuous dinner to show his gratitude.
We must go to the palace. As for dinner, there is no hurry. Let’s check for safety hazards first.
Can the hundreds of guards on the city walls block the Mughal army? Let them all come down and replace them with our army, and we will protect you. What can the king of the country say? Since you are not at ease, then change it. I will change it when you leave.
The next thing may be a little uncivilized, so Schvira specially pulled Luo Siwei aside and begged: "General Luo, look, Condede and I are going to their palace to accept the entire kingdom. Can you help us arrange the defense of this city wall? Thanks to General Luo's help this time, we can successfully take over the Kingdom of Mysore. After the palace matters are handled, we will definitely thank General Luo."
Luo Siwei didn't know what dirty things they were going to do, so it was nothing to help arrange the city defense, so he naturally agreed without hesitation. As for thanking him, he didn't expect anything.
After supporting Luo Siwei, Schvira and Condede followed the king of the Tumen and a group of high-ranking officials to the palace.
The king of Tuban did not know that a disaster was about to come, and he was still enthusiastic in front of him. As soon as he arrived at the palace, Condede and Schvira continued to deceive: "If these guards in the palace had spies from the Mughal Empire, you would be in danger. Change them too, just leave only the palace maids and concubines. We will ensure your safety. And these ministers have worked hard all the way, so let them go back and rest."
The king of Tubang feels something is wrong. The city defense is left to you. What else do you have to worry about? This palace is where I live. Is it safe to change to your people? And these ministers are here to eat with you. Do you want me to accompany you alone?
Seeing his hesitant expression, the smiles on Condede and Schvira's faces slowly disappeared. With a wink, all the soldiers slowly raised the muskets in their hands, and they were very tempted to shoot at a disagreement.
Facing the black muzzle, the King of Tuban surrendered. He ordered the removal of all the guards of the palace, replaced them with Condede and Schvira's men, and sent all the ministers away.
Seeing the cooperation of the Tuban king, his smile returned to Condede and Schvira's faces. The palace and city were occupied. Now it's time to do the serious business.
Kong Dede and Shivera took the king of the country to enter the palace. With the order, their soldiers immediately changed from gentlemen to evil robbers, and robbed them unscrupulously. They robbed all the gold bars, gold bricks, silver ingots, copper coins, as long as they were money; antique treasures, statues and utensils, as long as they looked valuable, and all the palace maids, as long as they were attracted to them......
Listening to the noise of rummaging through the boxes and the screams of palace maids and concubines, the king of Tubang was shocked and his eyes were shattered. Only now did he realize that these people were not envoys from the upper country, but robbers robbers everywhere!
Condede and Schvira stopped pretending to be gentlemen now, Condede took the lead in speaking (the intermediate translation is omitted): "Do you still want to continue to be your king?"
The King of Tuban came to his senses now. Of course he wanted to continue to be the king. What would he do if he didn't be the king? I guess he didn't have to do anything, so he dragged it out and chopped it up! He hurriedly said, "I think, I think."
Condede said nakedly: "If you want to continue to be a king, you must listen to us and do whatever you ask you to do."
The King of Tuban was already silly. He immediately said tremblingly: "Okay, okay, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Schvira couldn't wait any longer, and asked directly: "Where is the map? Where is your map of the Kingdom of Mysore?"
The King of Tubang quickly replied: "In the study, in my study where I handle government affairs."
Schweila couldn't wait, "Take us to your study."
The king of Tubang naturally did not dare to resist and hurriedly took them to the study.
At this time, the entire palace had been ruined. There were smashed doors and windows and scattered clothes everywhere, and there were rude gasps and screams everywhere.
The King of Tuban was leading the way honestly on the surface, but he was gritting his teeth in his heart: "You robbers, when the army of the Mughal Empire comes, I will definitely tear you into pieces!"
It is not known when the Mughal Empire's army will come. Anyway, he can only let the mermaid meat now. Now he has to honestly bring the two robber leaders to the messy study room that has been flipped, find a pretty complete map, and hand it over to them.
Schvira spread the map directly onto the table, and then asked viciously: "I heard that you have a lot of gold mines here, where are you?"
The king of Tubang hurriedly stepped forward and pointed out several places tremblingly. Shivera was filled with joy. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire did not lie to me. So many gold mines have become more developed and more developed!
Seeing that the gold mine had been asked, it felt almost done, so he waited to collect the map to have dinner. However, Schvira continued to ask: "There is also iron ore, where is the iron ore?"
The King of Tubang was dumbfounded. You gangsters are crazy about being poor. You can also grab the iron ore. How much money can that thing be worth? Besides, there are too many iron ore here, so what do you want me to point it?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Schvirara pulled her down directly, looking like she was about to have an attack.
The King of Tubang quickly explained: "There are too many iron ore, everywhere, I can't point it!"
When Schvira heard this, she finally felt relieved. It would be great if she hadn't had him. If she hadn't, she would have to spend money to buy everywhere, which would be very troublesome.
The next day, the Kingdom of Mysore Turkish Kingdom issued an order: "All the civilians in Mysore must pay 100 kilograms of iron ore every month, otherwise they will be arrested and mined!"
Faced with such a strange order, the civilians in the entire kingdom were confused. This king would not be crazy. Why do you want so many worthless iron ore? You will naturally dig it quickly. Shi Vera and Condede will tell them that it is not a joke to arrest and mine. As for gold mines, there are naturally prisoners to dig. Those people are strong and much more efficient than ordinary civilians.
From then on, the Kingdom of Mysore became a country where all people mined, with hundreds of thousands of people, regardless of men, women, young and old, had to work hard to mine everywhere. If you don’t dig, then bring your anklet and drive you with a whip!
They don’t know that the tragic life of miners is entirely caused by their descendants being too arrogant, so don’t be too arrogant, otherwise, if people don’t accept them, God will accept you.
