Chu Yun's fleet arrived in Kolkata, India. This town, which was originally a bastion, became more and more prosperous, and even gathered many Indian merchants and villagers around.

I heard that the military leader personally went to the West and passed by Kolkata halfway through. The Governor of the East India, the directors of the East India Company, Qin Zuoming, Chen Bangyan and others hurriedly made preparations.

The submarine cable had been laid from Malacca to Kolkata. When Chu Yun's fleet set off, they received telegrams from the capital through layers of transmission.

They increased their management of Kolkata in advance, moved local indigenous people out of the castle, and strictly restricted them from only being able to operate outside Kolkata.

When Chu Yun's fleet entered the Hugli River, he came to patrol the colonial headquarters set up in India for the first time.

At this time, the Mughal Empire and other small countries had hundreds of millions of people and fertile farmland. The income of the big part was not customs but land rent. If the local land rent could be collected, it would be equivalent to hundreds of millions of people farming for China.

Chu Yun did not want to occupy the place, but he had to build it. His idea was to divide the local land rent with the local princes and princes, so that the farmers here could provide food for China, and he never wanted to develop the same large population.

Resources are limited. The rise of China requires a large amount of resources, and another empire with a population of hundreds of millions will also develop.

Chu Yun took the Imperial Guards Brigade to patrol the sturdy castle. Qin Zuoming, Chen Bangyan and others stood in a row in a straight military uniform. These were all big figures in Kolkata. Their every move made the Indian princes tremble.

Kolkata has replaced the position of Agra, the imperial city of the Mughal Empire, and has become the most feared place for Indian princes. The troops here are as many as 6,000, but these 6,000 people can easily defeat the Tumen troops of tens of thousands of people.

"Sir, I'm honored to see you again."

Qin Zuoming robbed the capital of the Mughal Empire and obtained a treasure worth hundreds of millions of rupees. He was once received by Chu Yun for this merit. This time he was particularly excited to see Chu Yun again.

"It seems to be quite prosperous here, it seems you are doing well." Chu Yun nodded.

This city is different from other cities on the Indian Peninsula. Instead, it is built in Chinese style and new brick and stone buildings. Because the core area is not large, the "Sanitation Regulations" are strictly implemented, prohibiting cattle, sheep, elephants from taking to the streets, which seems quite clean.

"The great achievements we can achieve here depend on the support of the adults, and we are constantly investing materials and troops here," said Qin Zuoming.

"What's the situation in the Mughal Empire?"

Chu Yun conducted a large voyage between the East and the West, which was probably the only time. He took this opportunity to patrol the situation in Annanguo, Siam, Dongshu, Malay, Malacca and other places along the way, and India was no exception.

"Yes, the Mughal Empire is now divided into three princes and hundreds of princes of all sizes, and of course the coastal ports we control. The three princes are Qasim of Bangladesh, Dalahiko of Punjab, and Aurangzebu of the Deccan Plateau. In addition to the three princes, we take advantage of the war between the other side to bring their territory into the scope of protection. If they want not to be annexed by hostile princes, they must accept our protection, pay us land rent, and allow us to garrison the local army." Qin Zuoming introduced Chu Yun to Chu Yun.

At this time, the Mughal Empire was forced to enter the Warring States Period. The three major princes and hundreds of princes and princes of the country were united and bound together, and no one could subdue each other. This gave the East India Company an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Without a unified country, they will be defeated one by one.

The governance model used by the East India Company for Indian princes is an extremely special system - the "auxiliary fund system".

Without the management of the imperial emperor, the princes and princes of the Tumen inevitably broke out in fierce annexation wars. When some princes and princes were about to be annexed by the enemy, they sought protection from the three princes or the East India Company.

The price of East India Company providing protection is to allow East India Company's mercenaries to be stationed in the local area. The local princes are responsible for paying "auxiliary funds" to East India Company to support the mercenaries stationed in the local area, and become the takeover area of ​​East India Company in a sense. It is said that it is an auxiliary funds, but in fact it is a large amount of protection fees.

The East India Company is only interested in the land rent received and only needs to provide troops to the princes and princes, and does not want to manage ordinary local farmers. The exploitation is left to the princes and princes, and they enjoy the fruits. The most common peasant uprising occurred, and the most troublesome one is the princes and princes, while the East India Company only needs to withdraw the army.

In order to ensure that their interests are not annexed by other princes, many little princes were forced to choose to join the "auxiliary fund system" of the East India Company.

"It can be said that in addition to the three princes having a little ability to resist, we are already completely the masters of India." Qin Zuoming finally summarized the current situation in India.

It's interesting. Chu Yun didn't expect that after receiving his strong support, the expansion of East India Company in India was simply rapid.

India became the back garden of the empire, and a large amount of treasure can be obtained from it every year.

Every year, one tael of silver is squeezed from ten people, and one hundred million taels of silver is 10 million taels of silver, and Chu Yun does not have much psychological burden yet.

Local people also need to worry about their employment, build water conservancy, build roads, and provide disaster relief. The management here is the business of Indian princes and the East India Company only needs to provide them with protection.

Chu Yun walked around Kolkata Castle. It was basically Chinese-style buildings, which were incompatible with the outside area, but it was the most developed place in India.

The main ones living here are soldiers, merchants and sailors. Many local Chinese merchants smelled the business opportunities here and traveled thousands of miles to trade here. They also cheered for Chu Yun's arrival.

Indian merchants and farmers outside the city also received rumors of Chu Yun's arrival. In their opinion, this group of outsiders from overseas was quite mysterious, and their leaders came here to patrol for the first time, which made them curious about his appearance. Unfortunately, in order to protect Chu Yun's safety, Qin Zuoming and others prohibited local indigenous people from entering the castle during this period.

At this time, a soldier came to Chen Bangyan's ear and reported to him whisperedly.

"Mr. Army Master, Bangladesh King Qasim led a team of guards outside the castle, hoping to meet you." Chen Bangyan turned to report this to Chu Yun.
