Chapter 668 I also want to build the canal

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shashua lamented in his heart: "I don't know when I will be able to get to the place when I go to Udaipur, let alone whether it is right or wrong?"

That's right, Shashua also ran away. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to patrol, he directly brought his confidants with him and ran away.

Shashua's idea is very simple. It is definitely not possible to stay in Agra. After all, staying under Daroschijo's nose, maybe one day the heads of the people will fall to the ground.

Of course, the easiest way is to kill Daroschijo and then become the emperor of Mughals by himself.

But after experiencing the fact that Sha Jahan was killed, the guardian power in the entire royal court has increased by one or two points?

Shashua's more obsessed confidants, no matter whether they were civil officials or military generals, could not rush into the royal city to kill Daluschicho.

Since there is no chance to kill Daluschijo directly, it is better to take his confidant to run away in advance.

Delhi is a good place, but it has been brought to his hands in advance by Ozerab. Ajmer is too close to Agra. Eumtan has many mountains and few people, and is close to Persia. The only good places that can be chosen are Udaipur and Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad is also good, but it is too close to the beach - Shashua doesn't want to be so close to the beach when he beats Shashua to death.

What if I encounter a Mingren's warship? I don't have a reliable navy and can't beat it. Should I give up Ahmedabad and run away?

So, in the end, only Udaipur is left to choose.

Shashua's guard commander Prasad was also not feeling well - the weather was so hot, and he still needed a whole set of equipment. He was worried about the entire migration team. If he could feel good, he would be seeing the ghost.

After waving his sleeves and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Prasad immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, we have left Agra for two days. It is estimated that we will be able to arrive in Udaipur this evening or tomorrow morning."

Shashua nodded, feeling a little better.

It's good that it's almost here. As long as you arrive at Udaipur, you can integrate the troops in the city, and then secretly unite Ozeranbu to fight against Daro Sicho, who occupied Agra.

After arriving in Udaipur, Shashua's choice became even simpler. He directly took down the commander of the city defense army in the name of rebellion, and then replaced it with his own confidant.

As for the consul in the city, he was killed before he could express his objection. Shashua had no intention of leaving a consul who was not close to him to disgust him from the beginning.

After directly occupying the best city lord's mansion in the city, Shashua summoned his civil and military ministers.

Shashua once again felt a dissatisfaction in his heart. Compared with Daroschijo's civil and military officials who were loyal to Ozeranbu, his subordinates were really a little shabby.

A large number of low-level civil and military officers gathered together to fill the lobby of the city lord's mansion, but none of them were more advanced.

This means that it is unlikely to expect these people to put forward constructive opinions. After all, they have not been exposed to high levels, and most of them have not been promoted by their own strength. The perspective and vision of looking at problems will be different from those big guys.

After briefly mentioning the things that are going to be done now, Shashua said directly: "There is one thing I'll say hello to you in advance, that is, don't provoke those Ming people. Do you remember it?"

The civil and military ministers in the lobby looked at each other and then bowed to accept the order.

At this time, thinking about how to deal with Daro Sicho's offensive is already a headache. Who would have the courage to provoke those who cannot provoke?

Especially Udaipur, although it is already a distance from the port, it is actually not too difficult to land from Varodard and march to Udaipur?

...

Mahail was not very clear about the changes that happened to Mughals. He just finished sneering with the Ming people in Rajmehar, and had not had time to return to Agra.

However, the envoy on Rajmohar to meet Emperor Chongzhen, Mahail saw the two sides of the Ming people.

Although these Ming people are aggressive on the battlefield and are also digging holes during negotiations, once the conditions are reached, these Ming people will implement them very quickly.

Almost just after the general negotiation framework was finalized, the Ming people stopped their offensive. Whether it was a land offensive or a sea offensive, they almost stopped immediately, giving people the illusion that there seemed to be no war.

But Mehail knew very well that all this was just a superficial illusion. If there was any condition, I couldn't reach an agreement. I was afraid that the offensives of these Ming army would be restarted immediately. This is probably a means to force himself to make concessions.

However, Mehail had to be threatened and even began to make concessions on some minor clauses, and finally signed the Treaty of Rajmahar.

After Mahail left with the Treaty of Rajmahar, Emperor Chongzhen was also holding the Treaty of Rajmahar.

That's just the truth. How can a treaty that does not cede land, do not pay compensation, and do not sell mines and taxes be considered a qualified treaty?

According to the content of the agreed treaty, the Ming Dynasty actually owned Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Maharasgora, Telang Gandhi, Odisha, West Bengal, and Meghalaya.

The area of ​​these lands is approximately one-fifth of the land area of ​​the entire Mughal.

If we include the area east of Assam that we had obtained before, and from Mumbai to Vadoldad, which had been rented for 99 years, the entire Ming Dynasty even took a quarter of the entire Mughals into its hands - is there a possibility of returning the leased land?

Emperor Chongzhen could use Dalusicho's head to guarantee that after the lease expired, the Ming Dynasty would definitely return the leased places to Mughals - assuming that Mughals still existed.

After summoning the leaders of the two fleets, as well as the leaders of the army on the ground, Emperor Chongzhen said, "If the Mughals were doing their business according to the treaty, the British would probably be sent here in the near future.

Therefore, my Ming Dynasty’s goal also needs to be changed. Let Mughal go for the time being, and change it to attack the British with all its might and get that land!”

Lai Zongdao hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed and said, "Your Majesty, these barbarians on the land, Nahail, have signed on behalf of the Mughal king Daroschijo, and said that we can let the Ming Dynasty deal with it.

If the battlefield is transferred to the land of England now, then the barbarians on these lands?"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a nod, "That's the matter between your cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Army. You can do it yourself. I don't plan to ask about it anymore.

What I mean is that I want to go to the expedition with the army to see what the extreme west land looks like, and to get back the large area of ​​land there."

Now it was not only the civil servant system that was dissatisfied, but even the leaders of the Governor's Office of the Five Army were not doing it. Big Boss, can you think carefully about it? Can sea combat be the same as land combat?

When fighting on land, as long as you are not unlucky to encounter a meteor from the sky or a meteor from the rain of fire or a dragon turning over, the Ming army is confident to protect you to the ends of the earth and go to the ends of the earth, and you will directly confront whoever you don’t like.

But at sea, that's not what it is!

Even the charts that are being deceived by the current tricks are perfectly enough to bypass all the reefs along the way. Are you not worried about encountering dragons absorbing water or hurricanes?

Especially the Cape of Good Hope recorded in the charts of the barbarians.

To go to the extreme west, you must first bypass West Kunlun and pass through the Cape of Good Hope - it can be that Cape of Good Hope is not a good place!

It’s fine if the strong west winds are constantly rising all year round, but the most terrifying thing is the “killing wave” recorded by the barbarians!

The front of this wave is like a cliff, and the back of it is like a slow hillside, with a wave height of five to seven feet - even if the lucky boat is hit by such huge waves, it will probably end up being broken into pieces!

What's more, in addition to this kind of murderous wave, there are also spinning waves. Sometimes the sea surface will roll like boiling water in a pot, and ships will often capsize at these times.

Although most of these situations occur in winter, when is it now?

In the late summer and near autumn of the 14th year of Chongzhen, what should I do if Emperor Chongzhen went out to sea with the fleet and encountered these situations?

If these Dragon Princes on the barbarians do not know Chinese characters, it would be useless if you issue a lot of imperial edicts to "no court"!

Worried about the safety of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen bowed directly and said, "I will report to Your Majesty that I and the Duke of England should know the matter of my expedition to England.

Your Majesty is the most important thing in the country, so it is not appropriate to go far away from the sea. I hope your Majesty thinks twice!”

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Your Majesty think twice! I am willing to issue a military order to lead the army alone to England. If you cannot regain those lands, I will come and see you!"

Lai Zongdao and other civil and military ministers didn't care whether the barbarians were or were barbarians. They immediately bowed and said, "Please think twice!"

The barbarians don’t care. It’s not too late to catch them at any time. If you catch them too much at one time, the Ministry of Railways will not be able to digest them all, and it is estimated that it will cause some degree of waste.

So, I can’t catch it this time, so I’ll just catch it again next time. There’s no need to be so anxious.

But Emperor Chongzhen was going to go to England, who could guarantee that there would be no accidents at sea? Then he would help the young lord ascend the throne?

It is no problem to help the young master ascend the throne, but who is responsible for the turmoil caused by this?

The old Liu family is so awesome, but wasn’t it because of the young emperor’s problem that he was in trouble?

Even the Ming Dynasty has had many problems due to the change of thrones?

In short, no matter what, Chongzhen should not be able to be willful, nor should he be allowed to board a warship and run to England to fight!

Emperor Chongzhen was helpless.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that these ministers were all worried about their own safety for their own good, but they could not go to England to pretend to be a thug, and they would not be able to understand their own thoughts!

However, no matter how unreachable it is, it is useless. Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that no one of these civil and military ministers dared to let themselves board the expedition without being able to ensure their safety.

In addition to his identity as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was also because he was different from other Emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Dealing with Jiannu and expanding territory was nothing, and several emperors of the Ming Dynasty could do it.

What is different from other emperors is that they can bring different benefits to these guys, allowing them to see the possibility of building a piece of land and enfeoffment.

If I die now, even if these people help the young master ascend the throne, in the palace and in the court, can I still ensure that my current policies continue to be implemented?

Especially when you die, there are probably not only one or two people who jump out to oppose it.

After a long headache, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered a word.

Suez Canal.

In his previous life, his funny and incompetent knowledge made Emperor Chongzhen feel that Suez, the surname Su, must be a great man. He could preside over such a large canal digging, probably no less than His Majesty Yang Er.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen carefully checked the information online, he found that the person named Su was not built by a man surnamed Su, but by Sinuselt III Suez, the pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt.

Moreover, the Suez Canal seemed to be abandoned and re-digged several times. It was not until it was later lapsed with a cripple and started the reconstruction work again. When it was dug through, the "Qing Dynasty" had already begun to fall.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen now thinks about the Suez Canal, but he is not thinking about whether the Qing Dynasty is ruined or not. It was originally a ruined house, and occasionally it broke out, and the final outcome could not escape the ruin.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered that the reason why the Suez Canal was that the risk of traveling to Europe through Suez was that the risk of traveling to Africa was obviously lower than that of the canal.

This means that you can go to Europe through this canal to pretend to be slap people in the face, and the civil and military ministers in the court could not find any big problems.

As for the time and manpower and material resources required to build this canal, Emperor Chongzhen was not particularly worried.

I won’t talk about this thing about time. I am now in my prime. The more elegant statement is that the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, so I naturally don’t worry about the river dying if it is not dug.

In terms of manpower, with Mughal and Xikunlun laborers, coupled with the supervisors in Japan, it is believed that manpower will not be a problem.

Only in terms of material resources, some of them are troublesome.

However, it is not a big problem - even if the Ming Dynasty treasury doesn't pay a penny, aren't there any fat sheep like Mughal and East India Company paying for it?

Anyway, I want to build a canal too!
