"The abominable Chinese people actually rejected your request." The cavalry guards followed the Mughal prince Aurangzebu down onto the boat. They paddled towards the shore while defending the aurangzebu.

"Iron ships and iron cannons must be their most advanced technology, and they will not sell us even if I give 1 million rupees. They are like those annoying Europeans, and will not easily sell the best things to us."

Aurangzeb saw the ironclad ship of General Fubo, anchored in the bay, and was jealous.

Although it was a land power empire, and although their Mughal Empire was proud of cavalry, the artillery played an indelible role in establishing such an empire. Aurangzeb wanted to get more excellent artillery loaded on General Fubo.

It is naturally the best if you can buy an ironclad ship. Even if you pay the great price, Aurangzebu feels it is worth it.

"Your Highness, my subordinates believe that cavalry is the foundation of the country. Their strong ships and guns can only allow them to invade us on the edge of the coast. On land, it is the world of our cavalry!" said the cavalry guard.

"A cavalry..." Aurangzebu looked at the sea in a daze.

He also believed in cavalry before, but today he saw the Chinese fleet here, and he was a little shaken.

The Indian Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides. If the enemy has a powerful fleet, it can easily invade the empire from any of the three directions.

They could have supported the British to check and balance the Portuguese and the Netherlands, but now the British people they support seem to be intimately getting married with the Chinese. Now who can check and balance them?

"It seems that after the inspection of the next area, I need to return to the imperial capital Agra to report to my father what happened here. I must pay close attention to the actions of the East India Company." Aurangzeb's eyes flashed.

"Your Highness, when will we leave here?" asked the cavalry guard.

"When they leave Surat Port, I will make sure they are just passing here halfway," Aurangzeb replied.

Zheng Zhibao was on the deck of the General Fubo ironclad ship, looking thoughtfully at Aurangzebu and his group paddling near the shore.

"That third prince is not a simple person. His subordinates are almost all a group of cavalry, but he is very interested in our ironclad ships and artillery, and even wants to buy them at any cost." Zheng Zhibao had a high opinion of this Aurangzebu.

"But he is just a third prince. There is also a great prince in the Ottoman Empire. The second prince is ahead of him. The great prince assists in the imperial capital in the imperial capital. The second prince serves as the deputy king of Bangladesh in the prosperous Bangladesh region. It will never be his turn to be the emperor of the imperial court, and may even be eliminated when the great prince takes office." People from the East India Company are familiar with the succession of the throne of the Ottoman Empire. They believe that Aurangzeb, as the third prince, has no chance to rise to power, and is at most a prince.

"We Han people have an old saying, "Whether kings, princes, generals and ministers are more likely to be a good thing, and it is hard to say that fate is difficult. If this person becomes the new emperor of Mughals, it may add a lot of trouble to us. It is better to be the other two big princes. The second prince will become the emperor of the Mughal Empire." Zheng Zhibao is a pirate and thinks that he is more accurate in looking at people, and thinks that Aurangzebu has some skills.

It would be terrible to take a few personal soldiers to board the warship where many of their naval soldiers were.

"I hope our East India Company will not be targeted by the third prince. One of our teams is taking ships to the East Coast and the Bay of Bengal to buy suitable plots. At this time, it is the time to expand. If the Mughal Empire is targeted by them, if they take back the privileges they have given us, then our situation will be quite bad..." The people of the East India Company were also worried.

The people of the East India Company never thought that Prince Aurangzeb would suddenly come to the Surat port to patrol. If the matter of their acquisition by the Chinese was exposed, the consequences would be quite serious. Their privileges here are likely to be cancelled.

"If Aurangzebu plans to make things difficult for you East India Company, what are you going to deal with it?" Zheng Zhibao asked.

"Although we may be targeted, the stronghold on the East Coast is the territory of the indigenous princes, and Bangladesh is the jurisdiction of the second prince who opposes the third prince. Aurangzeb will only take action against our port in Surat at most... If he dares to seize the industry of our East India Company, we have to apply to the headquarters to use force to invade the coast and fan the rebellion against the Mughal Empire..." The people of the East India Company seem to be very familiar with the rules of the game here, and also have a set of methods to deal with the Mughal Empire.

If they were not allowed to go ashore peacefully to set up factories and trade, they would use armed merchant ships and artillery to block the ports, plunder pilgrimage fleets, merchant ships, and invade coastlines to force the Mughal Empire to open its doors.

The first person to do this was the Portuguese, which is why the Mughal Empire used other Europeans to check and balance them.

After the fleet represented by General Fubo's ironclad ship replenished supplies at the Surat port, it continued to sail in the direction of the monsoon current.

Surat Port returned to peace because of the huge ocean-going fleet of more than thirty ships. Active merchants in the Indian Ocean are still trading here, but they are no longer as lively.

East India Company, which replaced its shareholders, acted as low-key as ever.

Aurangzeb found officials responsible for managing Surat and asked them in detail about the exchanges between the British and Chinese at the Surat port. He found that a group of Chinese had visited the Surat port earlier, and some people worked at the East India Company, which seemed to have become employees of the East India Company.

"It's really strange... Are the Chinese people working for the British, or are the British people working for the Chinese?" Aurangzeb still couldn't make a correct judgment after investigation.

He is weighing how to deal with changes in the situation in the East India Company and even the entire Indian Ocean.

The powerful fleet temporarily passed through the Surat port, and after the fleet passed, it seemed as if everything was the same. The Mughal Empire was also the most powerful empire in South Asia. A large number of cavalry ruled the South Asian subcontinent. No one seemed to be able to threaten the Mughal Empire, which was still at its peak.

If I had not seen the powerful Chinese fleet appear here like a white horse, Aurangzeb would have lived in a powerful dream like other senior leaders of the Mughal Empire.
