Chapter Twelve Help Daming

To talk about how miserable it was in the early days of colonial countries, digging a mine was nothing. It was common to be caught and become a slave for no reason. The worst thing is that you are honest and obedient, enduring torture and enslavement and oppression, but the colonists still kill them if they want to kill them, and often lose their lives for no reason.

Here I will talk about the illiterate adventurer Pizarro. After he seized the emperor of the Inca Empire, he came up with a way to make money, and asked the Incas to pile up a room of 22 feet long, 17 feet wide and 8 feet high to redeem their emperor. Although the emperor of the Inca Empire was imprisoned, his subjects still obeyed the orders he issued from prison. When the gold transported from all over the empire filled Pizarro's treasure house, Pizarro still killed the emperor of the Inca Empire!

This is a true story, which indirectly illustrates the cruelty of the early colonists. Therefore, after the Mysore Turkish Kingdom was occupied by Condede and Schvira, the national mining was just the beginning, a small beginning, and countless painful tortures were waiting for these three.

For example, each person has to hand over 100 kilograms of iron ore every month. The Mysore Tuban Kingdom has at least 500,000 and 600,000 people. Each person has 500 and 600,000 kilograms in a month. Our Emperor Chongzheng did not want so much iron ore. Why did Schvira ask them to dig so much?

In fact, this is a small trick that Schvira and Condede played, one hundred kilograms per person. They knew that it was basically impossible, unless you happen to be on the edge of the iron ore, and the iron ore was particularly easy to dig, otherwise the family of five or six people would be five or six hundred kilograms, and wherever they could dig. It would be impossible to dig, okay, arrest it, and say that it was just an excuse to arrest it and mine it. In fact, after arresting it, it would be a slave. You have to do whatever you want, otherwise you would kill it directly! Moreover, this iron ore will always be dug for one day, and then everyone will become slaves. Is this trick poisonous?

What are you doing to catch so many slaves? There are so many things you can do. I don’t need to dig iron ore anymore. Gold ore still needs to be digged. If the gold ore is really unable to stand, they can still let them farm. Food and spices are very profitable. As for where the land comes from, in such a big place, just draw a circle. The common people in the circle will get out quickly. Those who don’t know each other will directly harvest them together. The early colonists were so barbaric!

Of course, these are things that will happen in the future. Now Schvira and Condede have just occupied the Kingdom of Mysore, and there are still many things waiting for them to do, such as robbing differently. After robbing the palace, robbing the ministers, robbing the merchants, robbing the civilians, robbing the merchants, robbing the civilians, robbing the money.

Another more important thing is to deal with the Mughal Empire's siege.

By the way, they had so blatantly occupied other people's vassal states, why did the Mughal Empire not react at all? Could it be that the Mughal Empire, their original sect leader, had declined to the point of destruction? Of course not, as mentioned earlier, now is the time when the Mughal Empire is the most powerful.

Since the Mughal Empire is so powerful, why not send troops to rescue it? Is the boss, Governor of Decan, Aurangzeb, is a useless soft boy? No, on the contrary, this Aurangzeb is still a cruel character who is too cruel to no more. Although he is only the third prince of the current Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, he finally won the throne of the Mughal Empire. Why? Because he killed all his elder brother, second brother and fourth brother, and the old emperor Shah Jahan was imprisoned until his death!

Such a ruthless character naturally would not be afraid of just over 10,000 Portuguese troops. The reason why he did not come was because he underestimated the strength of the more than 10,000 Portuguese troops too much, and it can also be said that he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the more than 30,000 indigenous troops in the Tumen Kingdom of Mysore.

In his opinion, even if he led the elite of the empire to conquer the Mysore Kingdom, he would have to bring at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops. It would be a bit difficult for ten thousand to defeat such a large kingdom. No matter how combat effectiveness of the 30,000 indigenous troops was poor, as long as they seized the city, there would be no way to deal with them for a while.

He thought that the Mysore Turkish Kingdom could last for a few months, and even directly repel more than 10,000 Portuguese troops, so after receiving the news, he did not immediately mobilize troops to reinforce, but waited there. After all, it would be very expensive to go to the army, so it would be best if he could not go. If the Mysore Turkish Kingdom could not stand it, it would not be too late for him to rescue it, and he could save several months of military expenditure.

He didn't expect that the idiot of the Tuban King would send all 30,000 troops to intercept the Portuguese army halfway, and was beaten and wiped out by someone! When he learned that the Tuban King had surrendered shamelessly, he began to gather his troops to prepare for the siege, but this was a few days later.

If another prince comes here, he may have to hesitate, but Aurangzebu won’t. He is such a ruthless person, and he has never taken the initiative to slap others in the face. He has never been slapped in the face like this naked.

What to do? One word, do it.

The day after he received the news, he led 50,000 elite troops directly under him. Of course, his power in the army was far more than this. As Governor of Decan, he had conquered all the imperial troops around him in recent years. If he really fought with others, he could gather at least 200,000 to 300,000 troops, otherwise he would not have been able to finally seize the throne of the Mughal Empire.

This time the enemy was only 10,000 Portuguese troops. He believed that 50,000 elite troops under his command were enough, so he did not mobilize troops from other places to come and help.

So what are Condede and Schvira doing? They are sharing the spoils. Although the Mysore Turkish Kingdom is just a vassal state of the Mughal Empire, it has at least more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory, with hundreds of thousands of people under its rule, and it also produces a lot of gold. Therefore, the Turkish kings are still very rich. Other jewelry, silver, and copper coins are not included for the time being. They just grab hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Based on the value ratio of gold to silver, these gold alone are worth tens of millions of taels of silver!

How to share so much money? Logically speaking, Schweila contributed the most, and he should share the big money, but this is Kong Dede's territory at least. If he hadn't had a good relationship, he might not have been willing to send troops to make money. So after they discussed it, they would just add five to two and one person, and half of each person would be.

In the end, they all got nearly six million taels of gold, silver and jewelry worth , and in the end there were more than one hundred thousand taels of silver left , and they were going to give it to Luo Siwei to thank him for his help during this period.

Luo Siwei suddenly received such a huge sum of money, and was shocked. What a joke. Although he was a general, he only had a salary of 100 taels per month. He would never make such a lot of money in his life. He was not the kind of corrupt person, so he refused at the beginning, but Schvira insisted on giving it to him, so he had no choice but to accept it. Mysore was just about to be defeated, and the New Year was coming soon. He was about to pack up his luggage and pack it back to the Ming Dynasty. Then he would return to the capital and let the emperor decide.

Just as Condede and Schvira were preparing to send Luo Siwei and 200 Ming 'military advisers' back home, the three traitors came to report, and Deccan Governor Aurangzeb led an army of 50,000 to kill him! This three traitors refer to the traitors of the country and seeking honor in A San Middle School. It is not surprising that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. There are so many traitors in the Ming Dynasty. There must be more three traitors in A San.

Now Kongdede and Schvira were a little scared. The Mughal Empire was not an indigenous country, but a very powerful feudal dynasty. Their weapons were not very bad, with all armor, iron shields, bows and crossbows, and even a certain number of muskets. The 50,000 army was not here to joke. Their ten thousand new recruits and one hundred veterans might not have done anything to them!

What should I do? After thinking about it, they had to turn to Luo Siwei for help. They had participated in a war of millions of people. The Later Jin army, which was even more powerful than the Mughal army, was defeated by them. He should be able to deal with these 50,000 troops.

Luo Siwei was about to go home for the New Year, but now he couldn't leave. There was no way. He had short hands and gave so much money, so it was really unreasonable to not help. Besides, Count Shi Weila was also a celebrity in front of the emperor. If he left like this, the Count would be killed by the enemy. I guess the emperor would definitely not be able to spare him.

After hearing their description of the enemy, Luo Siwei was not very afraid. The army of the Mughal Empire was just equivalent to the Mongolian army. If his 10,000 elite guards were there, he could rush up and kill them all.

It would be hard to say that there were tens of tens of thousands of new recruits and one hundred veterans. If they could attack with barrage, they would have a chance of winning in the wild. But the problem is that their muskets and artillery were bought from the Ming Dynasty, and they were equipped with a base of bullets and shells. The barrage attack lasted for up to half an hour. It would be hard to say whether they could eliminate 50,000 enemy troops. If the bullets and shells were all exhausted and the enemy had not been eliminated, it would be dangerous. But if they were just defending the city, there should be no problem, so Luo Siwei decided to guard the city of Mysore and wait for the enemy to attack.

Aurangzeb's army arrived at the city of Mysore the next day. They did not rush to attack the city, but set up camp three miles away to create siege equipment. Luo Siwei used a telescope to observe carefully. The army opposite was indeed extraordinary. At least the armor of the generals and the shields of soldiers could not be penetrated by muskets. Fortunately, he had ordered people to work together to move all 100 howitzers onto the city wall yesterday, otherwise the city would be a bit unlucky to defend.

There is nothing to say about making siege equipment. Anyway, it is nothing more than the well railings, cloud ladders and siege cars. In this regard, the army of the Mughal Empire is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, because they were originally descendants of the Mongols and Turks, and their tactics were extremely similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.

On the fourth day, Aurangzeb, who had just made the siege equipment, launched a fierce attack on Mysore City. Luo Siwei taught him a lesson with artillery and muskets. In the face of the powerful shells and dense bullets, the proud army was beaten to pieces. After attacking for three days, he could only climb up the city wall, and was soon stabbed by the Portuguese army above.

After losing nearly 20,000 troops, Aurangzeb finally couldn't resist retreating. Condede and Schvira were about to celebrate the victory, but the three traitors poured cold water on them inappropriately. They then realized that Aurangzeb's ferocity and cruelty were completely beyond them. This guy ate everything but had never suffered any loss. Moreover, he had more than just such a small army under his command. When he retreated, he must have summoned the army. When he came over, it would probably be no more than 50,000, at least 150,000, and 200,000 to 300,000!

Schvira and Condede were both frightened. What a joke? The 50,000 troops alone consumed half of their ammunition. How could they hold back the 150,000?

Kong Dede now regretted his intestines. In fact, when Luo Siwei commanded 10,000 new recruits to easily defeat 30,000 indigenous troops, he was already coveting the Ming muskets and cannons. However, after asking about the price of Schwera, he was a little reluctant to let it go. This batch of guns and cannons alone cost 8 million taels of silver. You must know that the total assets of his entire family are only more than 10 million taels of silver, so he wanted to wait and wait for a year or two before buying them. Unexpectedly, the Mughal Empire reacted so quickly and did not give him time to make money at all.

It's too late to say anything now. It only takes one or two months to assemble a large army. It takes so long to buy weapons from the Ming Dynasty. It's still too late to recruit people and practice.

What to do? Should I just retreat like this? He was really unwilling to accept such a large area of ​​rich places and retreat like this!

He was unwilling to give up, and Shi Weila was even more unwilling to give up than him. You must know that he promised His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to send two million kilograms of iron ore a month. If Mysore is lost, where will he find so much iron ore?

At this time, he had to take a gamble. He asked Luo Siwei to write a letter for him. The content of the letter was very simple, and he asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to send troops to help him in the sake of the allies!
