Chapter 1162 Raise a glass to celebrate
The Mughal Empire, as a descendant of the Timur Empire, had very strong early combat power.
The empire's army was not at a disadvantage when fighting against the Bukhara dynasty in the Afghan region and fighting against the Sassanian dynasty in the Persian region.
Even after they had a birth conflict with the British, they had won.
The dynasties established by nomads often have two major evils: one is political instability and likes internal struggle, and the other is the corruption and degeneration of the tribe members who established the dynasty.
The decline of the Mughal Empire was mainly due to these two major reasons, as well as the encroachment of Western colonists.
The current Mughal Empire is in the middle of the dynasty and is quite strong.
Ganchao was the overlord of East Asia, and the Mughal Empire was the overlord of South Asia.
As the Mughal prince, Shah Shuja had seen the world in battles.
The Luzon army, both infantry and cavalry, surprised him a little.
However, people in India all have a characteristic, that is, they will not give up until the Yellow River, they will not be able to get rid of their heads and blood, they will not know how to be afraid, and they will be arrogant and unrealistic.
Since the Tang Dynasty, they have liked to say the most ruthless words and be beaten by the most toxic ones.
When Shah Shuja saw Luzon's strength, he did not think about how terrifying it would be for Luzon, a vassal vassal, to have such strength.
At this time, Shah Shuja had been angry with casualties, commanding the army and clenching the Luzon army.
The sound of horns surged into the sky on the battlefield. The Mughal army found a feeling in the pursuit. The soldiers showed their power and desperately pursued the retreating Luzon army.
The infantry led by Gan Hui ran slowly. Whenever the Mughal cavalry was about to catch up, Zheng Sen had to take Luzon cavalry and rush towards the enemy cavalry.
After repeated rushing, Zheng Sen has become a bloody man. Fortunately, the Mongolian horse has good endurance and 500 Luzon cavalry can only deal with the enemy's rear.
At this time, the Mughal army pursued for twenty miles, and was about to catch up with the Luzon army again.
Along the way, the Mughal army gave the Luzon army huge damage, and just as they were chasing the Luzon army behind, a sudden sound of cannons in the woods on both sides.
Immediately afterwards, in the woods on both sides, half-squat Luzon musketeers pulled the trigger together, and smoke filled the woods. The Mughal soldiers and cavalry on the road fell into pieces in an instant.
The war horse was hit by a bullet and threw the cavalry away. The knights and war horses rolled on the ground, causing a roll of dust.
"No! Stop chasing!" The Mughal army shouted in a hurry, but it was too late.
Musketeers fired in the woods, and the Mughals immediately fell to the ground like mowing grass.
The Mughal army, which was pursuing, retreated five miles in panic, before barely stabilizing its position.
Shah Shuja finally retreated and looked closely and saw that the Luzon army ahead had come out of the woods and set up a formation.
Shah Shuja looked at it for a while and found that there were more than 10,000 people on the other side, and was shocked again.
Zheng Zhilong led the army to follow Zheng Sen. After the scout discovered the situation, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly ordered the army to ambush.
As soon as the Zheng army entered the woods, the Mughal army arrived and was caught off guard by Zheng Zhilong.
At this time, the Zheng army rushed out, lined up in front, staring at the Mughal army with cold eyes.
The retreating Mughal army also hurriedly gathered. As the follow-up troops gathered more and more, the Mughal generals suggested that they defeat the Luzon army on the opposite side in one go.
However, Shah Shuja hesitated. The real elite in his hands was only one Mongolian elite with a team of ten thousand people, and the others were newly affiliated Tubon Army.
The combat power of the opposite army is stronger than that of the Persian army.
Shah Shuja's goal is to make achievements and he is unwilling to fight his elite, so he is unwilling to fight hard.
At this time, he watched as Luzon's defeated army gradually walked away, his face full of anger.
The Mughals lost 10,000 people and did not eat up the three thousand Luzon troops. This is a shame for the Great Mughal Empire.
Opposite, Zheng Zhilong observed the enemy from afar, feeling a little surprised, and did not expect that the British brought so many reinforcements.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong didn't know the facts of the other party. Seeing that the enemy was stationed, he was worried that more enemy troops would arrive, so he waved his hand and called, "Alternate cover and retreat!"
With a command, the Luzon army was divided into several units and turned alternately to retreat.
Seeing this, Shah Shuja immediately ordered the pursuit to stop and the entire army retreated to Malacca.
The Mughal army collected weapons and supplies discarded by the Luzon army along the way, and hung the bodies of soldiers who died in battle on trees to show off their martial arts.
...
In the city of Malacca, Smith prepared wine and meat, entertained businessmen from all over the world, and Prince Shah Shuja to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Malacca.
Although the alliance suffered more losses in this battle, it defeated the Luzon State's intention to seize Malacca, and it was undoubtedly the alliance's victory in strategically.
At this time, Smith raised his wine glass, "Everyone, I want to toast you all. Your unity has defeated the arrogant, arrogant and rude Chinese. Come on, your wife and children die!"
Everyone had a glass of wine, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
French businessman Louis raised his wine glass and asked, "His Excellency Smith, the siege of Malacca has been lifted. What should we do next? Can our business be restored?"
Previously, the British and Portuguese monopolized the ocean-going trade with the Qian Dynasty. They transported the Qian Dynasty goods to India, and merchants from various countries bought a batch from them and transported them back to their homeland for sale.
The UK is equivalent to the first-level agent for the Qian Dynasty goods, while other countries are second-level agents.
Now that Britain has had a feud with the Qian Dynasty and has lost its agency qualification, there will be no channels for purchasing goods in other countries.
Now that the war is over, what should we do next? Businessmen from all over the world come from afar and cannot do without business.
Smith knew that Europe would be united unless there was enough interest.
"You can rest assured that as long as you control Malacca, Qianchao will soon surrender like us. Please believe me!" Smith picked up the wine glass and said, "Now, Qianchao has a serious overproduction. They attacked Malacca just to open the waterway, put us aside, and expand the Indian market by themselves. Now their plan has failed and the goods cannot be sold, the factory will go bankrupt. As long as we can block Malacca for a year, Qianchao will definitely surrender to us. At that time, we can sign with Qianchao, which will benefit our trade terms and turn Qianchao's factory into our factory!"
Merchants from all over the world were talking about it, but Smith said: "However, I have to remind you that the people of the Qian Dynasty are cunning and are very good at using their interests to discord us. In order to deal with the Netherlands and Spain, Xu Luo gave us the benefits of British monopolizing ocean trade. When they defeated the Netherlands and Spain, they turned against each other and attacked me. I now have reason to believe that the people of the Qian Dynasty will use exclusive trade rights to tempt you, and you must not be fooled and end up in a tragic end!"
Smith stared at the French businessman Louis and said, making Louis uncomfortable, "What do you think I do? We France have no intersection with the Chinese."
Smith smiled slightly, "Don't care, I'm just reminding everyone!"
At this time, Shah Shuja said in a deep voice: "If you want to stick to Malacca for a year, what should the Chinese in Pahang do?"
Smith said coldly: "If you want to force the Chinese to surrender, you will naturally let the Chinese know that they are powerful. The Chinese in Pahang must be eliminated. I will block the fleet and prevent them from obtaining supplies, prevent them from escaping, and then mobilize the troops and artillery to capture Pahang and capture the Chinese there in order to gain more bargaining chips!"
