Not many people knew about the expedition building a stronghold on the east coast of South Africa.

During this period, the envoys passed the Suez Canal to reach the seven islands of Mumbai.

The seven islands of Mumbai were originally a backward place. Later, the Portuguese colonies occupied the island of Mumbai, and the Kyushu army occupied the Portuguese island of Mumbai, building it into an important port. The reason why this place is important is not only because the Portuguese laid the foundation here, but also Mumbai is an important place for trading cotton and cotton textiles.

The purpose of colonial expansion was to obtain raw materials and markets. The Mumbai colony had become an important cotton trading site, and tens of millions of farmers from the Deccan Plateau were providing cotton to China and even around the world.

There are Chinese, Portuguese, Indians living here. Although the number of Chinese is small, they are the rulers here. The customs they set up to impose cotton duty on ships that come to Mumbai to trade cotton and other commodities.

"The potential of cotton tax is no less than that of spice tax. After Nanyang achieved large-scale spice plantation production, spice output increased and prices dropped. Cotton, as an important textile raw material, has a huge market." Local officials in Mumbai introduced the situation here to Chu Lingyun and others.

The envoys arrived temporarily, and local officials took them to visit the seven islands of Mumbai that were occupied and built by their own people.

A deep-water port was built on Mumbai Island so that warships can enter Mumbai Island at any time to deal with incidents that may break out at any time.

"I heard that the original eldest prince of the Mughal Empire, Dalahiko and the third prince Aurangzeb, were originally called emperor five years ago and were called the Southern and Southern Dynasties of the Mughal Empire by various princes." Chu Lingyun asked about the situation on the Indian Peninsula with concern.

"The third prince Aurangzeb is a hero who has successively surrendered dozens of princes on the Deccan Plateau and repeatedly attacked the eldest prince in the northern expedition. He has reached the Indus Plain. The eldest prince's situation is getting worse every year. If it weren't for the people above us asking the Bangladesh Kingdom to help the eldest prince behind his back, the Mughal Empire might have been reunified." The official in Mumbai said, "The eldest prince has no talent. Most of our aid is wasted. We are not at ease when we hand over advanced materials to them. Ordinary black gunpowder and other materials will be detained by their officials. It is difficult to make him stop Aurangzeb from unifying the Mughal Empire. Not only that, Aurangzeb also built ships in some secret ports along the coast. He is learning our technology as much as possible."

An ambassador said: "There is an armed fleet of East India Company patrol on the Indian Peninsula. Could it be that the third prince Aurangzeb also wants to form his own fleet to resist the East India Company's monopoly on the sea?"

"This is probably Aurangzebu's attempt. We cannot underestimate him too much. The coastline is very long, and some places are even more tortuous and complex. The boats are elusive and will attack our merchant ships and passengers. If we do not curb Aurangzebu's power in the Deccan Plateau as soon as possible, we may fail our strategy of dividing the Indian princes." said a Mumbai official.

Chu Lingyun heard from his father that China's control strategy on the Indian Peninsula was divided and suppressed, so the original Indian Mughal Empire was divided into three major forces: the eldest prince, the third prince, and the Bangladesh Kingdom. In addition to the three major forces, there were more than 300 independent princes of all sizes, as well as thousands of fiefs and feudal lords, which were comparable to the chaos in the Warring States Period of the Ultimate Warring States Period.

Overriding the three major Indian forces, three hundred princes and tens of thousands of feudal lords, were the semi-commercial and semi-militarized East India Company. 47 Indian princes have sought asylum from the East India Company, submitted protection fees to the East India Company, and allowed the East India Company to recruit soldiers on their territory and train soldiers to provide them with protection.

A split Indian peninsula is a good Indian peninsula, and this concept is often mentioned by his father.

As the third prince of India's three major forces, Aurangzeb tried to break this dangerous equilibrium, reunify the Mughal Empire, and restore the glory of the Mughal Empire during his father's era.

"Did we not organize a special attack on Aurangzebu?" Chu Lingyun asked.

"The East India Company and the Kingdom of Bangladesh have tried to jointly suppress Aurangzeb, but this person is very smart. He formed an alliance with the Marathas. When the East India Company's army approaches, he will retreat to the mountains and attack the supply line with the advantage of the light cavalry, which also causes considerable trouble for the East India Company. If you give your all your strength, you can definitely defeat Aurangzeb, but that requires a lot of time, energy and money." The Mumbai official replied.

Many ambassadors just happened to go to Mumbai. When they heard about the situation here, they did not have the right to interfere in the affairs of the Indian Peninsula. Perhaps they may be sent here to serve as diplomats in the future.

"By the way, the East India Company recently sent another army of 3,000 people, composed of us Chinese and Indians, landed from Surat Port to meet with the eldest prince and attacked Aurangzeb again. I wonder if this time it can defeat Aurangzeb." Mumbai officials mentioned another interesting thing.

In the Surat port in northern Bangladesh, this was the most prosperous port of the Mughal Empire, but it is hard to say whether it is still the most prosperous port now. Kolkata, as the headquarters of the East India Company, is rising at an unimaginable speed.

Surat Port is also a port occupied by the Chinese. The East India Company stationed the troops of an Indian local infantry regiment here.

During the past decade of rule, the third prince Aurangzeb led the Deccan army to attack the fortress in Surat Port more than once, trying to remove the thorn in his sphere of influence.

However, every attack was severely injured, and the Port of Surat, which had deployed heavy artillery, was simply an indelible natural barrier.

Qin Zuoming brought two Tumen infantry regiments and a cavalry regiment here, intending to stop Aurangzeb's ambition to unify India.

"We have suppressed Aurangzeb for more than ten years and have not suppressed this annoying guy. He has won the hearts of the people of the Deccan Plateau tribe and has also tried to imitate our firearms. This is the fourth attack on him by our East India Company and the East India Expeditionary Force. The so-called repeated and repeated, no more and more, if this continues, our energy will be wasted in the competition with him." Qin Zuoming, who is now a general of the army, said to a man in plain clothes.
