"According to the speculation of the East India Company, the Mughal Empire had a large army of 400,000, including a large number of cavalry and elephant soldiers. It is in the rising period of the empire, so we should adopt a strategy of gradual erosion. Currently, the South China Fleet has four sailboats operating in Surat and nearby waters..."

After the meeting of the Sixth Ministry, Chu Yun had to attend the meeting of the Military Ministry again.

The empire has no surface calmness, and the military headquarters is fighting fiercely.

An infantry brigade and a heavy artillery battalion were stationed in the province of Japan. The Siberian pioneer regiment was cultivated in Siberia. In the Western Regions, the bordered by Tsarist Russia, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Mughal Empire, and adopted a defensive strategy. The 12th Corps in the Nanyang side were divided into different routes and fought on the Indochina Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, and Malay Peninsula.

In addition to taking military actions on the ground, there were also the Fourth Fleet and the Far West Expeditionary Force, the Indian Ocean formations and small-scale troops heading to the Mughal Empire.

At the military headquarters meeting every month, relevant personnel must report the recent situation, combat reports, and personnel transfers of each corps.

"The squad sent to the Mughal Empire should try to disguise itself as a guard, and do not anger the emperor of the Mughal Empire. We are now busy with the construction of the empire within the empire, so there is no need to start a war with an empire with a population of over 100 million for the Indian market." Chu Yun had no extra opinion on sending a squad to the Mughal Empire, but only reminded them to act in a low-key manner.

It’s not that Chu Yun dared not fight with the Mughal Empire, which had weak naval power, but that he had no money to open up a front again.

With the beginning of industry, almost all factories are hungry and waiting for investment.

In addition, the tide of railway construction has just begun to spread to the south, which is also a black hole that absorbs a large amount of funds.

There are also more than a dozen university schools, hundreds of middle schools and countless primary schools and private schools. Just one university in the Capital University invests hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to cultivate talents.

In order to build a great empire, Chu Yun has tried his best to find ways to get funds to invest in various fields, and has also specially organized people to go to North America and Oceania to find gold mines.

In fact, Chu Yun wanted the government to build national railways and roads by himself. The reason why private capital allowed to enter the basic transportation field with restricted restrictions was because the government could not afford so much money...

The land of China is too vast. Even if it is necessary to build a railway artery from south to north, it is impossible to do without more than ten years and financial investment.

At present, Chu Yun's focus on military use is on Europe. As for the Mughal Empire, the Indian Ocean formation sent by the East India Company and the South Ocean Fleet were eroded.

The so-called erosion means occupying the local market step by step, first blocking it from the sea, and then expanding its influence to the mainland.

In addition to reporting on sending teams to the Mughal Empire and training mercenaries in India, the military headquarters also reported on counter-insurgency wars in various places, and personnel changes this month.

This was a pretty normal meeting for Chu Yun. The biggest thing was to secretly send 300 soldiers to India.

Until there was a staff report later: "The 12th Corps escorted Queen Alan, whom they captured in the Battle of Sumatra, to Beijing, saying that she wanted to get the army leader to deal with it."

Chu Yun's face looked a little strange when he heard this.

Now it’s not a tribal war, and a woman is escorted to the capital. Is this going to ask for rewards from me?

"About the 12th Corps' victory against Aceh in Sumatra and assisting the drilling team in finding the oil field, has the commendation order from our military headquarters been conveyed?" Chu Yun asked.

"It's just about to issue it," replied an officer from the military headquarters.

"The Queen of Aceh...didn't the previous report claim that since the king was executed by the 12th Corps, Aceh's country has been divided and its power has fallen into the hands of the 12th nobles?" Chu Yun vaguely remembered that Huang Degong, the commander of the 12th Corps, introduced the situation of Aceh's Sudan in the battle report.

In fact, the Aceh Sudan Kingdom is also a powerful indigenous kingdom, with a group of firearms eliminated by the Ottoman Empire, but it depends on who their opponent is.

"If the other party's queen is useless, what does the military leader mean to execute her?" asked an official.

"This is not..." Chu Yun was not so crazy that he could kill someone when he caught him. "The other party is the queen of a country. If he uses it well, he can win over the hearts of the people in Sumatra in her name and let the local people work for our plantation."

"So the military leader wants to support her as our puppet in Southeast Asia?" The military headquarters is almost always full of intelligent people, and it is easy to guess Chu Yun's plan.

"The twelve nobles were arbitrarily and dictatorial. They framed their queen, and the queen was taken in by us. With our help, they returned to Aceh and led all the people of Aceh to accept the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Province. What do you think of this story?" Chu Yun said.

"Wonderful, then in this way, the nobles of Aceh will become the initiators of the war, and we who took in the queen will be the justice side. When the queen returns to Aceh's call, the local subjects can justify becoming the people under the rule of the Nanyang Province." The military officials said one after another.

"The work of brainwashing is handed over to the Beijing University of the People, and we must assimilate it into our people. Since the 12th Corps has brought it to the capital, let her come to the military master's mansion and I can take time to meet her." Chu Yun thought for a moment, and the 12th Corps took the initiative to offer prisoners of war. If they did not meet, they would not give much face to the 12th Corps.

"But in the future, if there are similar 'trophies' in each corps, they need to report them first. They should not be brought to the capital privately before reporting, otherwise I will not give them face next time." Chu Yun said helplessly.

If the corps arrested a princess today, and the corps arrested a princess tomorrow, and sent them all to the capital, would it really be like Chu Yun’s romantic place?

"I also asked them to come with the translator. I can't understand the local dialect on Sumatra." Chu Yun said again.

When they learned that Chu Yun agreed to meet the captured Queen Alan, they were overjoyed.

"After the tomorrow's military meeting ends, he will be sent to the military master's house, and the Portuguese who acts as a translator will also go to the military master's house together." The people of the 12th Corps arranged for two people who would meet the military master tomorrow.

"God, I actually had the opportunity to meet the supreme ruler of the East!" The Portuguese, who was the translator, was surprised after learning the news.

Few Portuguese of this era have the opportunity to meet Chu Yun!

"The former ruler of the sect leader..." Queen Alan then learned from the Portuguese that she was escorted to the final place of the capital, and her beautiful eyes widened.
