805 The Confident Asan(1/2)
Taichang didn't know that the Anti-Habsburg Alliance was plotting against the Ming Empire, and he was busy now.
Because the Duke of Braganza had agreed to sign a notice of resignation under his threat, he had to organize his troops and ships to fully accept the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor.
In the study on the top floor of the Emperor, Taichang stared at the captured map of the Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction, and always felt that something was missing.
What's missing?
The Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction was divided into fourteen colonies in total. They had already won five of them. The remaining nine were clearly drawn on the map, as if there was no problem.
He stared at the map for a long time, and finally remembered it.
iron ore!
The Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction was the area with the largest iron ore reserves in later generations. Problem, they saw a small iron ore in Bayinya.
The small iron ore is not on the same level as the iron ore in the Great Lakes region of North America, and no other iron ore is seen around.
Bayinya is obviously not the main iron ore gathering area under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor.
So, where are the main iron ore gathering areas under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor?
Taichang thought for a while and then said loudly: "Come."
Cao Huachun responded and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
Taichang said directly: "Go to Jean Desera and ask Duke Bragansa where the most iron ore is under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor."
At this moment, Desera watched Duke Braganza sign a notice of resignation on the Imperial. It would naturally not take too long to ask a question.
After a while, Cao Huachun walked in and bowed: "Master, Duke Bragansa said that the Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction has the most iron ore in Minas Gerais, and there are almost all iron ore there."
It seems that it is right. Judging from the map, Minas Gerais is bigger than Bayinya.
In such a large place, iron ore is everywhere, and the iron ore reserves are absolutely amazingly large.
At this moment, he also thought clearly about how to arrange personnel to take over the entire Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction.
He had been hesitating about Minas Gerais's problem.
Because there are two fortresses there, and each fortress has a thousand people stationed, if there are too few people going and they can't conquer others and they won't open the city gate, it will be troublesome.
He didn't want to waste too much time on this matter, because the ships he brought with him had a lot of things to do.
For example, the ASCHU, Ba Yinya and more than 500,000 Black God Army are waiting for the ASCHU to be transported to Xin'anyang City.
If he did not transport all 500,000 Black God Army to Xin'anyang City within three months, there would be problems with the transfer of grain.
There are also Wolf-Tooth Warships. There are so many people from primitive tribes in the Amazon River Basin waiting for these Wolf-Tooth Warships to be transported. It will take an extra day for him to delay the day after he is delayed.
If you continue to waste this, you don’t know when you can transfer all the primitive tribes in the Amazon River Basin.
So, he can only delay here for about half a month at most.
Desera's command has only more than 30,000 troops at this moment, and it has to be divided into nine groups to receive nine colonies, and each colony can send more than 3,000 people.
If there were only more than 3,000 people to visit Minas Gerais, they would definitely not be able to suppress them, and they probably wouldn't pay attention to them.
It is a joke that more than 3,000 people go to intimidate the fortress where thousands of people are stationed.
Unless he sent soldiers from the Shenwu Camp to help, Minas Gerais might not be able to take it down within more than ten days.
Problem, he can't always send soldiers from Shenwu Camp or Shenji Camp to help others.
After all, Desera had more than 30,000 people under him at this time, and when Desera and Carinho went to control other colonies in South America, it was impossible for him to send soldiers from the Shenwu Camp or the Shenji Camp to follow them.
He had to let Desera and Carenho get used to dealing with problems by themselves, and he couldn't help him solve them whenever he had something to do.
This will make people develop a dependent mentality and will not be able to do anything once they leave their help.
However, there is no need to hesitate at this moment. Minas Gerais is the largest iron ore gathering area in the world, so he naturally has to go over and take a look in person.
This time, even if it was the last time to help Desera and Carinho solve the problem, helping them take Minas Gerais by the way, it would avoid wasting too much time here.
Thinking of this, he whispered to the door again: "Seela and Carenho come to discuss matters."
He discussed with the two for a while and then began to dispatch a fleet.
The other eight colonies were all a Shield Shield and twelve Wolf Tooth Warships, and were taken by Desera's confidants with three thousand Portuguese Legion soldiers.
As for Minas Gerais, he, Desera and Carinho, brought 20,000 soldiers of the Shenwu Camp and 4,000 soldiers of the Portuguese Legion to receive it.
Just in time, a big river leads to Minas Gerais more than a hundred miles north of Victoria. They just need to ride over more than four hundred wolf-toothed warships.
He was taking people to take over Minas Gerais, and the Earl of Stratford also took thousands of men and drove to the Mughal Empire in two steamships built by Britain.
The steam ships they built were actually transformed from the Ming Dynasty's armed merchant ship and large pirate ships. The water outside was small and the number of armed merchant ships was the same as that of the Ming Dynasty's armed merchant ships, and the number of steam engines inside was the same as that of the Ming Dynasty's armed merchant ships.
Therefore, this kind of ship has a speed similar to an armed merchant ship, and there is no problem in sailing about a thousand miles a day.
However, the continental area is 40,000 to 50,000 miles away from the Mughal Empire, and he will have to walk at least about one and a half months along the way.
Fortunately, the ocean navigation system of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance is still very sound, with quite a lot of supply points along the way, so there is no problem with replenishing water and food.
Earl Strafford and his party sailed on the sea for nearly two months, and finally arrived at the Mughal Empire.
The emperor of the Mughal Empire was overjoyed when he heard that the great celebrity under the British king had arrived. He hurriedly ordered people to take him to the capital Delhi and couldn't wait to receive him.
The reason why Shah Jahan was so enthusiastic about Stratford was because the British envoy who was stationed here told him that the Earl of Stratford was here to discuss the sale of muskets and artillery with him.
Now he is competing with the Persian Empire for Kandahar.
Because the Persian Empire received support from the Habsburgs and purchased advanced muskets and artillery, he was defeated several times.
Kandahar is still controlled by the Persians now. When they block there, he can't march to West Asia and Central Asia.
This incident made him feel aggrieved.
Therefore, he kept asking the British for advanced muskets and artillery, but he never replied to him.
Now, the King of England finally sent a big celebrity under his command to discuss with him the purchase of muskets and cannons.
He politely led the Earl of Strafford and his party to a large room full of fruits, invited them to sit down on the carpet, and then asked impatiently: "What does your king say about our request to buy muskets and artillery?"
When the Earl of Strafford saw his anxious look, he felt relieved.
This guy, indeed, his ambitions are so swelling that he just wants to expand.
He naturally knew about the Mughal Empire and the Persian Empire's battle for Kandahar.
This guy has tried his best to expand.
The Mughal Empire lost at least 5,000 troops every time it attacked Kandahar, and this guy kept sending people to attack!
There are not many countries in the continent that can withstand such a huge loss.
Are you crazy?
However, this is a good thing, the crazier this guy is, the better.
The Earl of Strafford pretended to hesitate for a moment before he admitted: "His Majesty our king said that it is not impossible to sell muskets and cannons to you, but you must promise us a condition."
Still have conditions?
Shah Jahan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are the conditions?"
The Earl of Stratford deliberately kept it insincerely said: "As long as you agree to this condition, it will actually be of great benefit to you."
You should tell me quickly!
Shah Jahan said anxiously: "What are the conditions? Tell me!"
When the Earl of Stratford saw that this guy was so anxious, he solemnly said: "The condition is very simple, that is, your Mughal Empire joins our anti-Habsburg Alliance and then attacks our enemy, the Ming Empire."
It's nothing to join the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, because the Persian Empire was supported by the Habsburg dynasty.
Question, why attack the Ming Empire?
He was not afraid of the Ming Empire, but the main reason why they had a great grudge against the Persian Empire was that he just wanted to buy muskets and cannons to destroy the Persian Empire.
Shah Jahan hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Can we destroy the Persian Empire and then attack the Ming Empire? Don't worry, I will not break my promise. After destroying the Persian Empire, I will definitely attack the Ming Empire."
Who do you think you are?
He also destroyed the Persian Empire and then attacked the Ming Empire!
If we don’t help, it’s hard to say whether you can do it or not.
There is no way, A San has always been so confident.
Whether it is the current Mughal Empire or the later India, it is all mysterious and confident.
They thought they were not strong enough, and the Persian Empire and the Ming Empire were far inferior to them.
People are not bragging or deceiving themselves. They really think so in their hearts.
They all think that as long as they believe it themselves, they don’t care whether others believe it or not, and they don’t care about the facts.
This is their biggest reliance on self-confidence.
It’s a good thing this guy is so confident. The problem is, don’t always think about fighting the Persian Empire!
The Earl of Strafford thought for a while and then fooled: "You should know that whether it is Kandahar or the Persian Empire, most of them are the Gobi Desert, which is not a good place at all, and there are not many resources.
The Ming Empire was different, but there were fertile fields everywhere, minerals everywhere, and very rich.
