Chapter 1092: The East Wind Arrives
"Hmph, as long as the Cao family's father and son are in India, they will definitely not be allowed to go unpunished this time."
Lei Ming clenched his fists tightly, he still remembered the destruction caused by the Cao family's father and son in the south back then, and he only hated this traitor if he didn't kill him.
"I hope so, Cao Kun is very cunning, and it may take a lot of effort to catch him, but with our people watching, this time we will be relatively sure." Wang Xuan said gloomily, which made Lei Ming and Yue Yun feel cold in their backs for a while, and it was indeed very stressful to be with this secret guard leader.
Wang Xuan's purpose in coming to Xinjiapo was just to remind Lei Ming and Yue Yun, and after entrusting him with this matter, he left with his entourage on a battleship, and no one knew his itinerary.
Sending Wang Xuan away, Lei Ming immediately summoned his generals, the intelligence brought by Wang Xuan was very important, and after being besieged for half a year, the coalition forces in Calcutta finally went into chaos, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
Once Wang Xuan sent this information to Qingzhou, the emperor would most likely give the order to attack Calcutta, so they needed to prepare from now on.
Like the thunder, Yue Yun also smelled the smell of gunpowder getting closer and closer, and now India is the most difficult nail to gnaw in the South Seas, and once this nail is pulled out, the empire will truly lock the European colonization of Asia.
Calcutta.
Nicholas and Buterin walked past rows of corpses, British soldiers who had died in the clashes.
Since the Indian coast was blocked, they have been trapped here for half a year, and the situation of the coalition forces has become worse and worse in the past six months.
By now, he had to admit that this Eastern Empire was really terrifying, and he thought that the Eastern Empire would take advantage of the victory in the naval battle to land in Calcutta and clash with them head-on, but they waited left and right, and waited for a long time for the soldiers of the Eastern Empire.
And their anger at the defeat in the naval battle was completely dissipated in this strange calm, and the morale of the soldiers of the coalition forces was now extremely low.
In his opinion, the root cause of all this was the blockade of the coast by the Eastern Empire, which gave the coalition soldiers no hope of returning home.
"We lost six hundred dead and more than two thousand soldiers wounded." Nicholas looked decadent, "What good lads, they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of the allies." ”
"If the situation continues to deteriorate, we will not only die this person, and now the problem of food and grass is our biggest crisis." "You must now compel the princely states to donate grain and grass," Buterin said. ”
Nicholas's brow furrowed, "Buterin, it's impossible, don't you think it's messy enough?" There have always been forces opposing us here, and if we do, the princely states will unite to drive us away!"
"Just them? A rabble, have you forgotten how I exterminated the rebels in the past two years? Buterin sneered: "We can control India not by mercy, but by guns, look at these soldiers who are about to go crazy, maybe tomorrow their guns will be aimed at us." “
Nicholas sneered: "If we didn't face the threat of the Eastern Empire, this plan might work, but what if the Eastern Empire launched an attack at this time?" Do you still have the strength to quell the attacks of the princely states? “
"I can't manage so much, and no food and grass is also a dead end." Buterin gestured to the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers raised their guns at the same time and aimed them at Nicholas.
"Are you crazy?" Nicholas yelled at the muzzle of the black hole.
Buterin sneered: "I don't want to be pointed at their guns, I can only let them point at you, give the order, Nicholas, we have no way out." “
Nicholas closed his eyes in despair, and after a moment of silence he turned and entered the Doge's Palace, and in a moment an order signed with Nicholas' name was delivered.
Upon receiving the order, Buterin immediately summoned the Coalition officers, who were able to collect grain and forage in the name of the Doge's Palace.
With a valid pretext, the coalition forces quickly sent a large number of soldiers out of the city of Calcutta, outside of which was the territory of the Kata Princely States.
In a hotel in Calcutta, the Cao family father and son witnessed all this, and with them were the widows of the wealthy families they had recruited during this time.
Unlike the breezy days of the previous days, everyone's expressions were a little solemn now, and the Imperial Navy blocked the coast, which was equivalent to cutting off their way back to England.
"Dad, where are they going?" Cao Zhengtong asked with some confusion.
"Go and grab food, I didn't expect that now the coalition forces have been forced to this part, it seems that this war is more auspicious, we have to think of a way." Cao Kun said.
The others all looked ugly, and some even turned pale with fright, knowing full well what they would face if they were caught.
Emperor Xiao Ming must have replied that their heads were hanging at the head of Qingzhou City.
"To stay here is to wait for death, the coalition army is now disheartened, and it is not an opponent of the imperial soldiers at all, once the imperial soldiers come over, none of us will be able to escape."
"What should I do? I don't want to die here. ”
"Hey, that's bad luck."
“……”
The rooms of the inn have a depressing atmosphere.
"I know a pirate named Ma Hai, who has been plundering merchant ships around Burma, and if we can get to Burma, we may be able to escape through his ship." A young man said.
"Is that true?" Cao Kun was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course it's true, the two of us once wanted to say that he was arrested by officers and soldiers in Guangzhou back then, and I sheltered him." The youth said.
Cao Zhengtong and Cao Kun glanced at each other, this young man joined them a year ago, and he was also a child of a wealthy family who lived overseas.
"Now there is only this way, Liu Qing, don't joke, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." Cao Kun threatened.
"Speaker, I also want to live, how could I lie to you." Liu Qing said innocently.
Cao Kun nodded slightly, "It's easy to go to Myanmar, when I went from Guangzhou to India through Myanmar, I had a lot of checkpoints along the road, and now they will definitely sell me a few thin noodles." ”
After agreeing on the matter, everyone smiled and went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.
Liu Qing also turned to leave, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, the Cao family's father and son would never have thought that he was the eyeliner planted by the secret guard.
And the robber Ma Hai in his mouth is also their person, as long as the Cao family father and son get on Ma Hai's ship, they will have nowhere to escape.
The reason why he made this decision was to see that the Cao family's father and son wanted to run, and instead of them running around, it was better for him to set a trap for them to jump.
Now the Cao family's father and son rushed to the hospital to believe him, which gave him this opportunity, but before leaving, he still had to pass on the news, and this required the use of the Empire's battery-powered radio.
