The King of Bengal, Qasim, rode his horse and took more than a hundred cavalry units to wait quietly outside the Kolkata Castle. Prince Ali followed his father, and he was somewhat impatient as young.

The lord of a country controlled the two major states of Bangladesh and Bihar, with a population of tens of millions, but at this time he could only wait outside the castle for the summons of rulers from more eastern regions.

And this was not the Eastern rulers summoning them personally, but his father, the lord of a country, who asked Chu Yun for the summoning with a calm face.

"Father, do we need to come here specifically to ask for the other party's reception? If such news spreads, it will damage your position in the minds of the people." Prince Ali said to Qasim.

"Ignorance! I have seen their map. Their territory is dozens of times that of us. The country is strong. If our kingdom does not annex by them, we must establish a good relationship with them. Otherwise, we will never know how we die if we die one day!" Qasim looked at the not-so-high but extremely thick ridge, and his heart was filled with fear.

After a long wait, Qasim's request to meet Chu Yun was answered. He and his son were allowed to enter the castle.

"They are really cautious, and the streets are full of soldiers." Prince Ali saw that the castle was full of soldiers, and the important places were guarded by local Chinese soldiers. It seemed that the other party did not trust Tuban mercenaries, but handed them over to local soldiers to protect Chu Yun's safety.

"That's a big man... Even the people in this castle can easily defeat the Mughal army twice in a row, and how powerful the real local power should be." Qasim felt awe-inspiring.

The opponent's troops were unfathomable. They were not even serious about the Mughal Empire, and the real main force had never left the land.

Qasim met Chu Yun in the office of the Governor of East India, and the members of the War Committee, who were terrified by the Indian princes and princes, just stood cautiously on both sides.

"The king of the Kingdom of Bangladesh pays homage to the Lord of the East. If it were not for the help of your subordinates, I would not have ascended the throne." Qasim said respectfully to Chu Yun.

"I heard that you turned against us in the Battle of Plassi and helped us defeat the emperor of the Mughal Empire, and sent tens of thousands of troops to help us in the expedition to Agra." Chu Yun held a report about Kasim in his hand.

This person is undoubtedly a traitor to the Mughal Empire, but for them, he is a worthy object to use.

"It is undoubtedly my honor to serve you. I hope we can still get along with each other in the future. I brought a box of gold, silver and gems, just outside the city. I am willing to give it to you as a witness to the friendship between the two countries." Qasim's tone seemed a little humble.

The kingdom is weak and cannot tolerate him being tough or even equal.

This guy is quite capable. Chu Yun saw that the other party could bend and stretch. As the former governor of Bengal of the Mughal Empire who established the Kingdom of Bangladesh, Qasim was not a mediocre person who inherited the throne after all.

Chu Yun took over the gold, silver and jewelry presented by Kasim without hesitation. How could there be no reason for the gold, silver and jewelry given by other kingdoms for free?

After that, Chu Yun had a brief conversation with Qasim for a while.

Qasim clearly expressed his willingness to continue to hand over customs to the East India Company for management, and the entire territory was opened to Chinese merchants. Chu Yun simply appeased Qasim so that he did not have to worry that the East India Company would not continue to harm his interests.

Qasim was overjoyed by Chu Yun's promise and left the castle with satisfaction.

"You continue to include the Indian princes in the 'auxiliary system' according to your ideas and obtain their land rent without caring about what I said." Chu Yun did not care about his and Qasim's promises.

The Governor of East India and Qin Zuoming and others looked at each other and smiled. What Chu Yun said was just diplomatic remarks. As long as the two sides did not sign a treaty, what should we do or what should we do?

"Sir, do you still want to continue sailing west?" Qin Zuoming asked.

"My purpose this time is to arrive in the West. I am very satisfied with the development of Kolkata and hope there will be more output here in the future."

"Our East India Company has set up a coal company, a jute company, and here it hires natives to mine coal and grow jute, which will become the largest coal supply in the Indian Ocean."

Chu Yun basically understands the current situation of the East India Company. In the past few years, they have occupied important ports in India, constantly controlling the princes and turning them into tools for their own profits.

The merchants conquered cities and lands here to another extent, set up various companies to trade here, plundering coal, jute and other raw materials.

Qasim returned to the Bengal cavalry outside the castle, but he did not expect Chu Yun to be quite easy to talk to.

"I can still deal with them when I am here, but I am worried that one day I will not be able to handle my relationship with them." Qasim said to his crown prince Ali.

It is extremely difficult for a weak country to deal with a powerful country. He dared to break away from the Mughal Empire and had experience in dealing with the strong. If his descendants could not learn this way of getting along, the entire kingdom would be very dangerous.

"I will be patient with their behavior like you, Father." Prince Ali said.

"It's not about patience, it's about learning to deal with it," said Kasim.

After patrolling Kolkata, Chu Yun returned to the fleet. At this time, the fleet had already been replenished. They headed south along the Indian coast and carried out replenishment in Madras and other places along the way.

However, except for Kolkata, Chu Yun did not go ashore again, as it would be too late.

This time they crossed the Arabian Sea directly from the southern end of the Arabian Sea and arrived at the east coast of Africa.

They can reach Europe by simply sailing around Africa.

"If there is the Suez Canal, you can directly reach Europe." Chu Yun was forced to detour around Africa, and Black Africa was still quite behind at this time.

At this time, Chu Yun had no special thoughts about this place. Conquering this place requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and risking diseases and harsh environments. As for the slave trade... it is indeed profitable, but these businesses are left to the Europeans to bear their infamy.

After Europeans became rich, they still had to buy Eastern goods, and wealth still flowed into the East, and European countries were equivalent to the existence of Indian princes.

Of course, there are also some things that Chu Yun covets here, such as gold and diamonds in South Africa and oil in the Sahara region.

"Dad, where is this?" Chu Xueer was picked up by Chu Yun and looked at the unfamiliar African continent. There were few people in the coastal areas.

"This place is called Africa, a continent that was inhabited a long time ago, but they have been forgotten outside the world for a long time." Chu Yun replied.
