Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1051

Tianzhu is India, and India is Tianzhu.

When you think of India, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?Gold, Buddhism?Ganga water or oil?
Ancient India is one of the four ancient civilizations. When China was still surrounded by moats and slash-and-burn farming, they had already entered a very prosperous city-state era, and made brilliant achievements in architecture, art, astronomy, and religion.The hot and rainy, flat and fertile Ganges Plain gave birth to the splendid ancient Indian civilization, but they did not give them the blood and tenacity enough to protect this splendid civilization, so the disaster began.When China was struggling to transform from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, the ancient Indo-Europeans who migrated from the shore of the Black Sea swept across the Eurasian continent like fallen leaves in a violent wind. Ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient Greece...these brilliant civilizations came one after another. Swallowed by this terrible tide, never to be revived.China is lucky. Under the command of Queen Fuhao, the powerful army of the Shang Dynasty wiped out the migrating ancient Indo-European army on the Mongolian plateau. Chinese civilization was passed on, but India was not so lucky. The ancient Indo-Europeans invaded the hinterland of South Asia and conquered it almost effortlessly. The aborigines were driven to wild lands, and we can still find the descendants of these aborigines.

India has extremely rich resources. The iron ore produced here has a long-standing reputation. The Damascus scimitar that once made the Crusaders fearful is made of steel produced in India. It is extremely sharp and cuts iron like mud. crippled.In addition, India is also rich in gold. The wonderful Indians have an incomprehensible love for gold, and even a few gold ornaments can be found on beggars.In addition, there are spices, which have a fatal attraction for nobles in Europe and the Middle East. In medieval Europe, spices were even more valuable than gold.In general, the whole of India is a fat piece of fat, and this piece of fat is basically defenseless, as long as you have a good appetite, you can swallow it in one bite... But after swallowing, The huge population base will let you know what indigestion is in seconds!

Daming has heard about the richness of India and is full of interest in it. There are treasures of gold and spices everywhere. Who wouldn't be interested?However, since Emperor Longwu became emperor, he naturally saw farther than anyone else. What he was most interested in was not gold and spices, but the vast and fertile cultivated land on the Ganges Plain in India.No matter how much gold there is, it will be spent one day, but the land can support people from generation to generation. For the ruler, this is more valuable than gold. More than 700 years ago, the Tibetans captured the Ganges Delta in India. It was precisely because of the grain and high-quality iron ore produced in the Ganges Delta that the dynasty on the roof of the world competed with the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. Datang was still unable to completely defeat it.Tubo has become so powerful just by occupying the Ganges Delta. What will happen if the entire South Asian subcontinent is included in its own ruling territory?The answer is to look at the British Empire.The monarchs and ministers of the Longwu Dynasty are all knowledgeable and pragmatic. They understand this period of history very well. Now that the domestic situation has stabilized, it is time to find some unlucky ones to practice their skills. How can they prove that they are stronger without bullying others? Well!There is nothing interesting in Japan. Just the occasional looting of the Jinan and Shenyang Dudufu makes them foam at the mouth. The coastal areas are deserted. It is a waste of resources to send a large army to fight Japan; there is nothing to fight in Southeast Asia. Annan Dudufu made those people tremble with fear, and sent envoys to Beijing to beg Emperor Longwu to take charge of Annan Dudufu, and not let Annan Dudufu attack their country; Over there, the Songmo Governor’s Mansion is facing the boundless Siberian wasteland. After searching, it seems that the only opponent worth fighting is India. Well, it’s you, close the door and let Yang Menglong go!

After hearing Wu Yong's explanation, Yang Menglong sighed: "It's really unlucky, I only rested for a few days, and I'm going to fight again! Let no one live in peace!"

The corner of Wu Yong's mouth twitched: "My generalissimo, it seems that you are the most leisurely in the entire empire, right? From the emperor to the cabinet to more than 20 departments, and then the governors of the provinces, which one is not so busy that the heels hit the back of the head? You stay in bed all year round. Accompanying the wife to coax the children in Nanyang, how dare you say that you are busy?"

Yang Menglong shook his head and shook his head: "Old Wu, you don't understand. Once people are free, they don't want to move anymore... But anyway, it's time for me to move around, otherwise my muscles and bones will be rusted! Go back and ask that slob, Is this time to grab money or land?"

Wu Yong said: "The emperor said that money and land are also needed. It is best to take the Ganges Delta within a year, and keep the land and no people!"

Yang Menglong pinched his chin, and smiled obscenely: "It's wrong to reserve land and not keep people... Let me tell you, there are many girls over there with fair skin, tall and handsome, first-class beauties, wouldn't it be better not to stay?" pity?"

Wu Yong's expression suddenly became a little weird... Is it really okay for you to talk about this with the eunuch?

Catherine leaned over and asked excitedly, "Yang, is there going to be a war again? I'm going, I'm going!"

Yang Menglong's face was tangled: "You said that you are a girl, and you are still a dignified countess. Is it really okay to join forces wherever there is a war?"

Catherine curled her lips: "You said that as a gentleman, you asked a girl to beg you for two or three years and you refused to let go. Is it really okay? You don't want me to follow, yes, sell some cannons Give me!"

Yang Menglong sighed: "Then you'd better follow."

Zhu Cihong shouted: "Teacher, I want to go to the battlefield too!"

Xiaojun called: "Brother-in-law, I want to go too!"

Yang Menglong was very straightforward: "Okay, I will take you there! In a few years, you will be of the age to serve as soldiers. It is also good to go to the battlefield to listen to the sound of artillery and smell the smoke."

Xiao Yufang was very worried: "They are still so young, and you take them to the battlefield, will this... be dangerous?"

Yang Menglong said: "Don't worry, there won't be any danger, I'm here!"

Xiao Yufang was not at ease at all, but seeing Xiao Jun's excited expression, she sighed and said nothing more.

Liu Ziyan sighed: "It's only been quiet for two years, and I'm going to fight again, alas!"

Cheng Qi looked helpless: "I was born to work hard, so I can't take time off!"

The red lady shrugged: "To be honest, if the child wasn't young, I would have wanted to go to the battlefield. Staying at home all day with nothing to do, I'm going crazy!"

Among the four wives, she and Yang Menglong are similar in taste, both of them are equally belligerent, it's like a thunderbolt!
Don't give up, don't give up, the battle still has to be fought.A few days later, Yang Menglong bid farewell to his wife and children, and took a boat down the Yangtze River to the headquarters of the South China Sea Fleet in Guangzhou. The powerful navy and army of the Ming Dynasty moved upon hearing the news, and the powerful army that once destroyed the mighty Eight Banners force quickly assembled. The sword clangs out of its sheath and points to the South Asian subcontinent, a bloody storm is inevitable.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, in today's Seattle area.

A group of native Indians dressed in cowhide clothing held spears and stone knives made of flint, looking for traces of prey on the coastal plain.The favorite prey of these hunters is the bison. A huge bison can not only provide enough meat to feed the entire tribe, but also produce high-quality cowhide, which can be used to build tents and sew clothes. It can be said that the bison is The basis of their survival, without the bison, their entire group would have to starve to death.

Today they were unlucky, they couldn't find any trace of the buffalo for a long time, and it was getting dark, so the exhausted hunters had to stop and ran to the beach to collect some edible shellfish for today's dinner.A hunter found a big fat fish in shallow water. He held his breath, raised his stone spear and approached cautiously. But the big fish was only interested in enjoying the plankton in the water, and was unaware of the approaching danger.Then, the stone spear stabbed down like lightning, pierced its body and lifted it high, and the group of hunters had their dinner.Everyone builds a fire on the beach. The scales of the big fish are scraped off, the internal organs are cleaned, washed and put on, put on the fire to roast, while the shellfish have to wait until the fire is almost burned before being put into the embers to roast. Easier to master the heat.When grilling fish, everyone can't help but talk about the new things they heard:

"Have you heard? The Minase tribe was massacred last month."

"Who did it?"

"Who else did it? Those white demons! They took a fancy to the land of the Minase tribe, so they organized an army to attack the Minase tribe. Most of the men in the tribe were killed in their sleep. The women Hanging by the side of the road, children being thrown into burning fires, and the whole tribe with almost no dogs left behind, it's just so tragic."

"Those white people are really disgusting! When they first landed, many tribes went to greet them, received them warmly, and even lent them food when they were in trouble. They didn't repay us, but instead robbed our land. Those who killed us! If I knew this, I should have killed them all when they landed!"

Mention of white immigrants, everyone is outraged.Originally they lived a carefree life in this land, but since the white immigrants came to America, everything changed.These white immigrants use a strange and powerful weapon to shoot terrible projectiles at them. No matter how brave the fighters are, once they are hit, they will only die. Relying on the advantage of equipment, the white immigrants attack the Indians everywhere. The tribes robbed food, furs, women, and even assassinated tribal chiefs.Over the years, more and more atrocities about white immigrants have been spread, which makes people feel confused besides anger and fear. Everyone can't understand that they have been living well for thousands of years, and no one has been recruited. Who is to provoke, why did such a group of demons suddenly come and kill them?

A hunter named Xiongying gritted his teeth and said: "According to me, we must not be soft on those white people. We should keep an eye on the sea. We will kill as many of them as they come, until they dare not set foot on our road again." As far as the land!"

Before the words were finished, someone shouted: "Xiongying, the white immigrants are coming again, and there are several boats!"

The eagle looked at the sea subconsciously, and sure enough, under the afterglow of the setting sun, several large ships cut through the waves and came towards this side.These boats are not quite the same as the white immigrant boats they have seen before. Of course, the Indians do not understand the shipbuilding industry. If they are asked to tell what is different, they will definitely not be able to tell. They just feel that these boats are compared with the previous white immigrant boats. , even more ferocious and murderous, and he is not a kind person at first sight!When the ship got closer, the eagle clearly saw a large flag hanging on the mast of the leading ship with its extraordinary eyesight. There was no superfluous decoration on the flag, only two crossed black long handles sword.Just such a simple pattern made his eyelids twitch wildly.

What a strong murderous!
