Section 1176 Death of the city of Mumbai
Yan Changwu, who was remembered by the people, sneezed three times in a row on the battleship: "Oops, it's windy, you have to get dressed!" ”
He returned in a battleship, and he was no longer the captain of a battleship, unless he had to be a colonel.
His friend Mr. David was not on the ship, so he felt very idle.
He played chess and poker on the warship, sometimes practiced calligraphy, and drank tea with the chief of staff Gan Hui and the captain Zhao Tianjing, so as to kill time.
He has beautiful women Liu Ruyi, Kou Baimen and Haidai, but the military discipline in the southeast country is strict, and there are no idle people waiting on the warship on duty, and as a leader, he also enforces military discipline.
The royal yacht brought by the royal family is nominally a "boat", but in fact it has the level of a five-class cruiser, there is no gunner, the place is large, and the environment is comfortable.
You can see the ships passing through the edges on the sea road, and every day when you open the telescope on the deck, you can almost see ships with the flag of the southeast, what Dutch are sea coachmen, and now it seems that the sea coachmen are Chinese!
And along the way, many of the ports are hung with the flag of the southeastern country, and those places are either occupied by the southeastern country or are already in the sphere of influence of the southeastern country.
This is very convenient for the supply of the fleet, and unconsciously, judging from the map, the prototype of an empire on which the sun never sets has been produced, Yan Changwu is not without pride: "We have finally done something famous!" ”
When the fleet returned to the east, everyone wanted to sail directly, that is, not stop at the port on the way, and drive as far as they could, starting from Aden, crossing the Indian Ocean, and arriving in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The range is a bit long, but it is really not a problem for the fleet, after all, this is how they usually train, and long voyages are commonplace, otherwise they would not have come from the east.
Gan Hui, the chief of staff of his fellow company, had a rare opportunity to make more stops on the way, at least at large and important ports, in order to propagate the leader's force!
"Everyone in the world says that our navy can fight, but it is difficult to say how the combat strength of the army is, and now our army has recently defeated the Ottoman Empire, a land power, for the second time, and the opportunity is rare, so we should show our strength in various places and win the hearts of its people!" Gan Hui proposed, that is, to ask the leader to put on a show and create his glorious image.
I just won a big victory, and I just took advantage of this opportunity to promote, otherwise there would be no store in this village, and there would be no boat in Suzhou!
The words were reasonable, Yan Changwu happily obeyed, so the fleet made a detour through Yemen and Oman, and sailed to the stronghold in the Indian subcontinent.
……
The city of Mumbai, South-East Country.
This beautiful garden city is in dire straits, like purgatory.
Fires broke out everywhere in the city, pillars of smoke rose in the middle of the city, and dead bodies lay on the roads, with no time to bury.
The city of Mumbai is under attack by a powerful enemy and is in great danger of being destroyed.
There are countless enemies outside the city, and they are all over the mountains and fields, and they are shocking, and they look like an ocean!
The 100,000-strong army of the Mughal Empire besieged Mumbai!
The Mughal Empire was a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India in India in 1526 AD by Babur, a descendant of the Turkicized Mongol generation of Tianjiao Timur.
At the height of the empire, it encompassed almost the entire subcontinent and Afghanistan.
The Mughal superstructure was the Green Religion, while the base was Hinduism, and Persian was the language of the court, public affairs, diplomacy, literature, and high society.
After the collapse of the Timurid Empire, his royal descendant Babur led an army to invade the South Asian subcontinent to establish the Mughal Empire, which declined during the reign of his son Humayun and then entered its heyday under the third emperor Akbar, during which a policy of cultural integration and religious tolerance was practiced within the Mughal Empire, but this policy was abandoned due to rebellion during the reign of the fourth emperor, Jahangir.
It is the reign of the fifth emperor, Shah Jahan, and the Mughal Empire is more powerful than ever, but it is also the most dangerous time.
Because of the recklessness of military force, the arrogance of the imperial officials has hidden the factors of decline.
Shah Jahan was famous, the monarch built a well-known building for his beloved concubine, the world-famous Taj Mahal.
Then again, the Mughal Empire is said to be an empire, but in fact its actual ruling area is mainly in the north of India, and it is entangled with tribes in Afghanistan, and Afghanistan, as the "graveyard of empires" is never ambiguous!
As strong as Shah Jahan, who reoccupied Kandahar in Afghanistan in 1638 but lost it again in 1649, he was the emperor of an empire and was still deflated by the Afghans.
In another futile attempt to capture the Afghan city of Samarkand, he lost 5,000 men in vain.
In any case, there are not many foreign forces fighting in Afghanistan that can please them.
The emperor's face was at stake, so Shah Jahan continued to use troops in Afghanistan, and his finances became increasingly embarrassed.
In southern India, the Mughal Empire only enjoyed the name of a co-master, and it was divided for a long time, and the place was ruled by large and small Indian princes and princes, in fact, there were as many as hundreds of princely lords in the entire empire.
This gives people the illusion that the Mughal Empire is not enough, and as a result, those who despise them will suffer, and this is the case with the current city of Mumbai, which is under siege, with heavy casualties and a lot of losses!
An empire is an empire after all!
Those who enjoy this name are not vegetarians, it shows its fangs, and even the powerful Chinese are unlucky.
The city of Mumbai, originally the territory of the Portuguese, was turned into a headquarters for the advance of the Ottoman Empire after the Chinese occupation, where orders were issued and where men and supplies were shipped.
A week ago, the Mughal Empire raided Bombay with 5,000 elite cavalry, and they slaughtered on all sides.
Caught off guard, the southeast army lost the whole line outside the city, and the city was still in hand, but it was also very dangerous, because at that time, there were internal should want to sacrifice the city, they attacked the east gate in the city, plus the cavalry outside, the inside should be combined with the outside, if it were not for the resolute defenders of the city gate, resisting the enemy, almost lost.
But the recruit training ground, a large number of warehouses, and military hospitals outside the city fell into their hands.
The Mughal army seized the dock and set the rows of ships on fire, the flames burned until three days later, and at least a thousand ships of all sizes were lost.
Finally, because of the success of the attack on the Ottoman Empire, most of the personnel and materials were transported to the port of Aden on the Arabian Peninsula, avoiding more significant losses.
The tragic losses came from the 206 military hospital outside the city, where there were 500 medical personnel and more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, most of these wounded soldiers were lightly wounded, they could take a sea boat, back to Mumbai, where the conditions were better.
Most of the people in the 206th military hospital were killed by Mughal cavalry, which was the most tragic loss!
In particular, the female nurses in the military hospital were wheeled to death by the murderous Mughals.
Major General Dai Guoguan, the commander of the 336th Division of the Southeast Army, the commander of the Bombay City Commander, should have taken the greatest responsibility, but he could no longer be held responsible, and he died heroically in the battle to capture the East Gate.
Now the city defense of the city of Mumbai fell into the hands of a foreigner who came to China to help fight the war, this foreigner was well-trained, strong-willed, more Chinese than the Chinese, he ordered to prepare ignition materials in important places, once the city was broken, it would be set on fire everywhere, detonating the arsenal, and burning the jade.
At the same time, do it yourself, kill the Chinese women and children in the city, and all the men will die in battle!
The officers and men of the South-East were ready to carry out his orders.
