Ming Zuo

Chapter 1653 Full bloom

The whole Kingdom of Ahom thought that the empire could save them from fire and water.

I just didn't expect that the army of the empire was so terrifying.

So much so that Su Yafa, Gangda and the others trembled, all guessing wildly, would the empire go all out and annex the Kingdom of Ahaom directly?
"The empire is not interested in you, as long as you are loyal."

Yu Shutang understood their thoughts and told the truth with a sneer.

The geographical location of the Ahom Kingdom is indeed good, but it is too poor and isolated from the surroundings. Even the empire does not want to bear the cost of construction.

Having a vassal state here can give the empire a way to intervene in South Asia, and the empire is satisfied.

Knowing that the empire had no intention of annexing it, Su Yafa immediately came back to life and turned into an unswervingly loyal dog.

"I don't know what the next intention of Shangguo is?"

Now that the Tianzhu army has been defeated, Su Yafa certainly hopes that the empire will follow the trend and wipe out all the hateful Tianzhu people.

Yu Shutang pointed at the dilapidated road angrily.

"If you want the empire to help you completely solve the danger, you must repair the road. Do you know that it is because of such broken roads that the Tianzhu people ran away?"

Facing Yu Shutang's reprimand, Su Yafa and others were ashamed, but also very helpless.

"The general doesn't know that Ahaom is small and weak. Even if he wants to build roads, he really can't afford more money and food!"

Even if civilians are recruited to build roads, the country will spend a lot of money.At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the peasants have food to eat, otherwise, there will be rebellion in the country.

It's not that Su Yafa and others don't know the benefits of building roads, but they really can't do it.

Yu Shutang thought for a while and gave them a hint.

"The empire's construction company will come over soon, and they have a new road construction method in their hands. Once it is completed, it will not be washed away even by heavy rain, and it will be as flat as a mirror, and you can run a horse. If you are interested, you can discuss it after you go back. Raise part of the funds to invest in shares."

When Su Yafa and others heard it, what didn't they understand?

This is an opportunity for them to make money!
Just this moment made them deeply feel the benefits of following the empire.

After passing Gauhati, the road is rough and difficult, and it has been raining heavily for days, so the First Division can only temporarily stop.

Elsewhere, though, the Allies were all on the march.

After the food and grass from Siam arrived, Chang Ying immediately attacked with his army.

The Kingdom of Shahi became the first target of the Allies.

This time Chang Ying put the first regiment behind, but handed over the task of the main attack to the British.

Since it is an allied army, everyone must contribute, and don't even think about hiding behind to take advantage of it.

Claude and Turner Rice had no choice but to agree.

After all, this side is close to Chennai, and the territory laid down is all British.If you don't do your own work, Beng expects others to work for nothing.

The National Defense Forces can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, providing artillery support.

These small countries in the southern part of the mainland basically have no strength.Although the British can't annex it with their current capabilities, they can't stop the Allied forces.

Srikala was shot by the National Defense Forces and opened a gap in the city wall, and then six hundred British troops entered the city happily, burning, killing, and looting.

Chang Ying didn't care about this.

The British approach inevitably aroused the hatred of the natives, and might later provide opportunities for the empire to operate.

He paid more attention to the movements of the monks.

Following the allied forces, a large number of monks quickly spread out to spread the teachings among the people.

This inevitably clashed with local beliefs, but was also supported by the oppressed Brahmins.

These places were originally the territory of the Brahmanism. With the southward movement of the Mughal Empire, the Islamic religion relied on stronger force to conquer the city and quickly blossom and bear fruit.

It's just that over time, the originally powerful Islamic religion has also been localized by the Tianzhu people, and it is no longer possible to completely eradicate Brahmanism from the grassroots, and they can only intertwine with each other.

But in any case, Islam is the ruler, making life very difficult for Brahmins.

Now the enemy of the enemy has come, and that is the friend.

Not to mention that Brahmanism and Buddhism have many similarities.

As a result, under the influence of more powerful force, a large number of Brahmans changed their sects and became Buddhists.

After all, the new Buddhism is much looser in terms of teachings, without too many restrictions, and it must be liked by many ordinary people.

These changes were seen by Islamists, but there was nothing they could do about it.

What they are more worried about now is their own life and death.

The Brahmins, supported by Buddhism, quickly became ferocious, and began to attack Islamists everywhere in the cities, in the countryside, and in the wilderness.

The Islamists were furious and fought back bravely, but they were quickly suppressed by the Allied forces.

Under the ebb and flow, the social framework in many places is slowly changing.

As in the east, the Portuguese in the west were supported by the Wehrmacht.

The three marine divisions were completely split up, and one regiment helped one ally, so they wanted to ignite fires everywhere in Tianzhu.

The Portuguese were more shrewd and did not rush to go deep into the interior, but strictly implemented Chang Ying's plan and took the lead in attacking south.

Although the terrain on the west coast is complex and not conducive to marching and fighting, everywhere it goes is full of water and grass, which is the most suitable for living and survival.

Moreover, attacking along the coast can also get the help of the South China Sea Fleet, which greatly reduces the pressure.

The weak state of Tianzhu could not stop the Portuguese soldiers at all.

Karwar fell into the hands of the Portuguese in just two hours, and then Gumda and Mudehiva even fled without a fight.

Ten days later, the Portuguese entered Udur, and the expansion was thousands of miles away.

Tianzhu is very large, and what happened in the south will not reach Delhi for a while. Shah Jahan doesn't know that his empire is already full of wars.

Half a month later, the Dutch began to attack Karachi.

Since ancient times, Karachi has been a very prosperous commercial city.

The rulers here, whether it is the current Mughal Empire or the former Persian Dynasty, have made full use of the excellent conditions here and earned countless wealth.

But this time, what the Dutch brought was no longer commodities, but guns.

The Imperial Navy and the Dutch Navy rushed into the port without warning, sinking all ships in sight.

The fortifications in the port did not play any role, and all were reduced to ashes.

Under the cover of fierce artillery fire from the Imperial Navy, the Dutch army successfully landed and seized the port.

It's just that when they attacked the city, they encountered big trouble.

Karachi is an important town, and there are more than 3 troops stationed here.

More than 500 Dutch soldiers couldn't bear it at all, and were driven back to the port.

Fortunately, the third marine division then landed, joined the battle, and provided accurate guidance to the naval guns.

The Tianzhu people suffered heavy losses and retreated into the city in embarrassment. They could only watch helplessly as the number of allied forces increased.

The officials in the city were so desperate that they quickly sent messengers to Delhi to report the crisis here.
