Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 695
The governor of the British East India Company in India is named Jones, who is also a veteran British nobleman.

The British aristocrats have a common problem, that is, arrogance and superciliousness. In their eyes, the Orientals are a group of uncivilized barbarians. Whether it is enslaving or killing barbarians, he will not have any psychological burden.

Even though William brought back the message that Ming was invincible, Governor Jones still didn't take it too seriously. How powerful can an uncivilized country be?
It was with this thought that he sent troops to help Shah Jahan attack Bashik.

Seeing that Bashik was trapped in the isolated city and might be wiped out at any time, a sudden bad news, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, made Governor Jones dizzy, and made him have to re-examine whether he should continue to participate in this mob. Is there a civil war among the Woer people?
It turned out that the Ming Navy suddenly went to war against the East India Company's fleet outside Ceylon Island, and defeated the East India Company's armed fleet in World War I. Not only that, the Ming Navy also blocked the ports of the Indian Peninsula, and the All British merchant ships were seized.

The closure of the sea route is equivalent to cutting off the escape route of the British, and the seizure of merchant ships means cutting off their financial resources.

Those who heard the report said that with the strength of the Ming fleet, even if all the fleets of the British Empire were brought over, it might not be possible to win.

Now Governor Jones finally believed what William said. To put it more seriously, Governor Jones did not expect that Daming would attach so much importance to the Indian Peninsula.

The Ming army has already announced that the British are no longer allowed to participate in the Mughal civil war and will withdraw their troops from Dhaka immediately.

Governor Jones had already decided to withdraw his troops when he received the news of the fleet's defeat, but he suddenly thought that if he withdraws in this way, he might not be able to take the initiative in future negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, so should he have some bargaining chips in hand? Woolen cloth?
Governor Jones doesn't have many troops. There are only more than 1000 real British, and the remaining [-] are mercenaries. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of their army is completely reflected in their firearms. Han can't beat it.

In Governor Jones' tent, Brigadier General William and several British generals were called over.

Governor Jones is in his fifties, with a bushy beard and slender eyes with a sly gleam.

"Generals, we have to sit down and negotiate with the people of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that we need bargaining chips. Tell me, what should we do next?"

The news of the fleet's defeat cannot be concealed at all, and a panic has begun to spread quietly in the army, so they must find a way as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

William had dealt with Ye Xun before, so he also had the most right to speak. As soon as Governor Jones finished speaking, he took the initiative to say: "I have seen the army of the Ming Dynasty before. To be frustrating, if that Lord Ye really If you lead the army, our army is no match for others. Now that Your Excellency the Governor intends to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, then according to my idea, it is to rescue Lord Ye’s two wives and children.”

It's a good idea, but it's just too shameless. We all know that Ye Xun's two children are trapped in the city. It's okay to say that the two wives were captured by their accomplice Dorgon. It's like going to war with your friends. You must know that when the alliance was first formed, it was agreed to advance and retreat together. Now it suddenly turns against the water. Where do you want to put the face of the British Empire?

However, such things as treachery did not seem to be an embarrassment for these colonists.

At this time, a tall and strong general said in a low voice: "Let me tell you! Let's work together to take down the city first, and then use Bashik and the two mother and son as bargaining chips. I don't believe that Ye is not bowing his head."

Not to mention, this is also a good idea, because this situation can turn passive into active.

Governor Jones pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, General Seamus, you send someone to that man named Doo, and ask him to send the two wives who were detained to us."

"General William, you have dealt with the Ming Dynasty before, so I will leave the negotiation to you."

I don't know who got used to these foreign devils' self-confidence. It seems that no matter what they say, others have to listen.

Now is the time for Shah Jahan to ask the British. It is normal for them to take orders from Governor Jones, but Dorgon has no such problem. Ye Xun is the only person who can scare him in this world.

Dorgon and Shah Jahan have already made a plan. Once the Ming army comes to help, they will repeat the old tricks and use the superior force and location to defeat the Ming army in the first battle, because only when the Ming army is hurt can it be possible to sit down with Ye Xun negotiation.

Dorgon has followed Ye Xun for many years, so it can be regarded as knowing Ye Xun, but he knows the officials of the Ming Dynasty better, so his hope is placed on the pressure of Ming Dynasty officials on Ye Xun, not on the real battlefield Go up to a showdown with Ye Xun.

To be able to accomplish such a big event, Dorgon was also fully prepared. First of all, he had arranged spies in the capital, so Ye Xun's whereabouts were always sent to him by spies.

Just as Governor Jones called his men for a meeting, Dorgon and Shah Jahan were also discussing countermeasures.

The bad news for them was that the Ming army did not enter their ambush circle as they expected, and the good news was that Romanov finally sent troops.

"General Dorgon, how long do you think we can take Dhaka?"

Shah Jahan admired Dorgon very much, and had betrothed his younger sister to Dorgon in order to completely tie this talent.

Dorgon was a little distracted, and after Sha Jahan said it again, he said: "It is not difficult to take Dhaka, but what should we do next? Your Majesty, I am not speaking for the Ming army. If you really annoy my teacher, Eunuch Ye, If he personally leads the army to attack, your army is no match for the Ming army."

It would be better not to mention Ye Xun, but when Ye Xun's name was mentioned, Shah Jahan would not be angry at all. If it wasn't for the dead eunuch, would he, the majestic emperor of the Mughal Empire, be in such a miserable state?
With a sullen face, he snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it too late to say this now? According to reliable sources, the eunuch has arrived in Lanzhou, and various Ming armies are also being mobilized. You just want to surrender to him now. I'm afraid He can't tolerate you, can he?"

The relationship between Dorgon and Ye Xun is not a secret, that's why Shah Jahan said this.

Dorgon smiled bitterly. It is impossible to say that he has no regrets in his heart, but he is a Jurchen after all, and Nurhachi's blood flows in his veins. Just like what Huang Taiji wrote to him said, blood Thicker than water, even though Ye Xun accepted him as his apprentice, he was also guarding against him.

Huang Taiji hopes that Dorgon can be himself again and be a real Jurchen hero.

In fact, everything is an excuse, and only Dorgon knows that the reason why he chose to betray in the end is because of that little woman.

Shaking his head to drive away the distracting thoughts in his head, he said in a deep voice: "With the restraint of the Romanov army and the Horqin tribal army, Ye Xun will definitely not be able to rescue Bashik in time. While attacking Bashik, His Majesty should believe that The Ming court, let the Ming court put pressure on Ye Xun, and finally bring him to the negotiating table."

Because Hongxiu's mother and daughter and Aruna's mother and son are basically under control, Dorgon has such confidence.
