Chapter 1778 Split Indian Peninsula

"They have machines that can fly into the sky, and our Kingdom of Spain may not be able to fight them. Maybe we should give up our hostile strategy and find ways to cooperate or compromise with them. I think it will be more in our interest to do so. "

"You mean to give up the interests of the West Indies and the vast colonies? Our Kingdom of Spain is already on the decline. If we give up the West Indies and other colonies, then we will become a second-rate, or even a third-rate kingdom. "

"But the current situation is not helpless? Have you ever imagined that the opponent has more than 10 steam ironclad ships and biplanes that can control the sky. If the biplanes are used to throw gunpowder at Madrid, our wooden houses will be burned Burn it, and even the whole city will be turned into ruins!"

After the Spanish embassy returned to their residence, they had a violent dispute.

Before, they and the Netherlands still stubbornly resisted China and England's seizure of shipping, fisheries, and colonial business in the Atlantic Ocean for common interests, and now both sides are still in friction.

Now that the Spanish missions arrived, they were frightened by the prosperity and emerging new technologies here, and they had to start changing their diplomatic strategies.

If the other party is too strong, compromise may be a way out to temporarily relieve the pressure.

While the Spaniards were quarreling, the Dutch were also in a tangle.

They are in great need of oriental commodities, from agricultural and by-product spices and tea, to handicraft porcelain, to industrial products such as internal combustion engine vehicles, rubber, bicycles, and soda ash. Only the east can provide or produce the best quality in the east.

The most important thing is that the other party's force deterrence has brought them a huge shock.

If you can't fight, and you need the other party's goods, then there may be only one way to trade through peace talks.

After visiting the Crystal Palace, the International Zoo and Botanical Garden, and the aircraft manufacturing factory, they realized that there is a huge gap between the two sides, and this gap is almost insurmountable!
All the envoys have their own thoughts, and some kingdoms with better relations with Chu Yun are glad that China is an ally rather than an enemy. As long as they don't deliberately provoke them, Chu Yun should not turn his face.The Kingdom, which has a bad relationship with Chu Yun, is in constant panic, trying to improve the relationship between the two parties.

"Our Kingdom of Sweden should replace the Kingdom of Denmark as the other party's partner in the Baltic Sea." Queen Christina of Sweden said to the two ministers following the Privy Council.

"It is indeed necessary." People in the Privy Council were a little disgusted before, but this time they saw China's industrial power and had to make some compromises.

While the various missions were discussing in private, Chu Yun took the lead in negotiating with some of them in private.

The first to find was Kasim, the king of Bengal who was most afraid of China.

Just the unprepared armed forces such as the East India Company set up by China to extract the Indian peninsula are enough to make it frightened.

In order to ensure that his descendants can still rule the stability of Bengal, he had to express his allegiance and contact Chu Yun.

"Darashiko, the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire, is still engaged in a series of wars with the third prince Aurangzeb. The blood of the soldiers stained the Indus River red. Thousands of people died in the battle. They want To reunify the Mughal Empire, some weak princes had to submit to them. And our Kingdom of Bengal began to occupy the Ganges plain.” Kasim talked about the situation in the Indian Peninsula to Chu Yun.

The Indian peninsula was divided into hundreds of large and small feudal princes. The three largest forces were the Kingdom of Bengal occupying the Ganges plain, the eldest prince occupying the Indus River, and the third prince occupying the Deccan Plateau.

Considering its own interests, a divided Indian peninsula is a good place to provide resources.The East India Company frequently intervened in the struggles among Indian maharajas, making it impossible for the Indian peninsula to be unified.

Chu Yun heard the complaint from Kasim, the biggest prince of the country.

The East India Company controlled almost the important ports and customs of the entire Indian peninsula. At the same time, it also adopted a special protection fee strategy - the land rent was collected by the maharajah, and part of the land rent was given to the East India Company as a "protection fee". The East India Company Then send part of the garrison to their land, so that the hostile princes dare not invade.In this way, the situation of India's division can be maintained, and there is no need to spend money to support the army.

"However, the third prince Aurangzeb of the Deccan Plateau has always been talented. In recent years, he has been trying to produce more advanced muskets and copper cannons. The Deccan Army under his command has always been good at fighting. The eldest prince retreated steadily. Many Indians The land of the River Plain was annexed by him. He is currently the most likely person to unify the Mughal Empire." Kasim added.

Chu Yun also heard about Aurangzeb from his subordinates. If nothing else happened, he should have been a great emperor of the Mughal Empire. Unfortunately, he met the reorganized East India Company by Chu Yun.

"In the future, I will send someone to deal with him." Chu Yun was not salty, but he had already decided Aurangzeb's fate.

"Your country has a lot of industrial products, and we also need to import a batch of industrial products in the Kingdom of Bangladesh. But this time I didn't bring a lot of gold and silver, so I can't buy many things. I don't know if I can pay on credit. After returning to the Kingdom of Bangladesh Pay again," Kasim begged.

"No problem." Chu Yun knows that the Kingdom of Bangladesh does not dare to pay on credit, and it is no problem to sell the goods in advance. connect places to better facilitate the flow of raw materials and goods.”

"Building a railway in Bangladesh, which is so backward?" Kasim couldn't believe it.

He didn't expect that Chu Yun would choose to build a railway in the Indian peninsula, so he didn't mention the issue of railways and steam locomotives.

But I didn't expect Chu Yun to have the idea of ​​helping India build a railway.

"If you can be loyal to us, isn't it just building a railway yard? In the future, some technologies can also be passed on to Bangladesh." Chu Yun had extra calculations in his mind.

He will not benefit Indians in vain. Of course, the construction of railways is not for the development of the local economy, but to better transport raw materials such as grain, jute, coal, and cotton from the hinterland of India with faster efficiency. Completely turn the Indian peninsula into a resource provider.

In the future, some heavily polluting and labor-intensive factories can also be set up along the local railway.

These are the unimaginable follow-up effects of the king of Bengal who still knows nothing about the industry. He only knows that the other side builds a railway locally and thinks highly of him.
