Chapter 948: Second-hand weapons
***
In the Bo Ni country of Borneo, Wang Guichen spent a Mid-Autumn Festival comfortably, and also accepted Mo Liang's Jianyì, and found someone to repair his pair of inverted eight-figure eyebrows, so that his iconic eyebrows looked more like two sharp swords.
Then, he handed over the Bo Ni Kingdom to the 2,000 army troops who had crossed the sea.
In Luzon, Borneo, Java and other places, the garrison of Great Qin was only one or two thousand people, mainly relying on local servant troops to clear the island's natives.
Only in Cochin and Dongwu did they retain a relatively large number of armies, but only 5,000 to 10,000 each. The effect of using razing to control razing and using the natives to clear the natives is better than sending a large number of Qin troops into these areas, and there is actually not too much of the necessary garrison.
After the handover was clear, Wang Guichen took 20 warships of all sizes and more than 1,000 people to sail eastward and explore all the way along the Java Sea in the south of Borneo.
On the current map of Daqin, that huge land mass is marked as Nanhuazhou.
The purpose of Wang Guichen's trip was to find and explore Nanhuazhou, and officially incorporate it into the territory of Great Qin.
Before Wang Guichen left, he collected as much information as possible about Nanhuazhou, and it is said that there are only some Maori people on it, who are primitive tribes, and they still live a life of drinking blood.
On the battleship heading eastward towards the wind, Mo Liang was bragging to the sailors on the ship without any inhibitions: "You don't know, I have inquired clearly, there is a big rat on Nanhuazhou, which is very scary."
"Old Mo, how scary is it?"
"Yes, yes, Lao Mo, since this kind of big rat is so scary, why are you still laughing so evilly, hehe, you can tell that you are sneering at us."
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't believe it, don't believe it. β
"Look at you who are unheard, don't believe it, this strange big rat is as tall as a man, with a pocket and a long tail. They grabbed people and stuffed them into their pockets and ran, they only walked on two feet, and they jumped ten feet away when they ran, and they called that. It's like the sound of a woman calling for a bed, you can imagine it for yourselves. β
When the adjutant general Li Sangui heard this, he smiled and interjected: "Mo Liang, is the sound of a woman calling the bed terrible?" You must be impotence and premature ejaculation, hahaha"
Mo Liang suddenly looked like a cat with his tail stepped on, and shouted wow: "You are the second master of impotence and premature ejaculation!" Lao Tzu that"
"That fart, you say how scary a kangaroo is, and it turns out that its cry is the same as a woman's cry for a bed, in other words. Doesn't that mean you're afraid of the sound of a woman calling for a bed? Hahaha"
The sailors on the ship burst into laughter, Mo Hao is also the captain, how can this be bearable, chasing the sailors and punching and kicking. But the more this happens, the more the laughter becomes.
Li Sangui is still adding fuel to the fire: "Mo Liang, damn it, if you weren't impotence and premature ejaculation." I'm afraid that others will say a bird. If you really do it, go to the cabin immediately and pull a girl out of the cabin, and try it for everyone to see on the spot? β
"Yes. It is. β
"Mo Fleet, or I'll go down and help you choose one."
"You go to die, do you need your choice? I'll go down by myself" Mo Liang was so angry that he really walked to the hatch, and halfway through, he realized that he almost fell for Li Sangui, turned around and smiled, "Second master, I suddenly remembered one thing, last time in Luzon, you pulled that Spanish horse into the room, damn, I haven't finished soaking, you came out with your pants, I have been helping you keep this matter a secret." β
"Keep your head!" Li Sangui was furious, and he was about to rush over to clean up this guy who spread rumors and made the same as the real thing.
The ship was laughing and laughing again, and they were happy. Wang Guichen in the command ship didn't bother to care.
Navy soldiers have been adrift on the sea for many years, fighting against the wind and waves, and the activity space is cramped, and life is boring, so you can choose some beautiful indigenous women to bring on the boat for everyone's pastime to relieve everyone's boredom.
In fact, before the Song Dynasty, there were basically prostitutes in the army, but women were usually not allowed to take them when they went on expeditions.
Considering the particularity of the navy, there are no explicit regulations on the needs of the imperial court, but the military officials are all blind to the navy and women.
In fact, when the army conquers the enemy country, it is not necessarily forbidden for soldiers not to move the women of the enemy country.
Wang Guichen's trip, in addition to fighting the storm, theoretically will not encounter any powerful enemies, so everyone seems to be relatively relaxed, this is a journey of discovery, the goal: to push the dragon flag of Great Qin to the land of Nanhua Continent, to announce to the world that this is the territory of Great Qin.
Sailing the winds in the Indian Ocean is not so easy, and the situation here is complicated, with the British, Dutch, Portuguese, Hindu, Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, small tribal states in the south, the mighty Mughal dynasty in the north, and even the Ottoman Empire.
In short, the various forces in India as a whole are intricate and chaotic, except for some information provided by merchant ships that used to travel to and from India, and then there are information provided by prisoners of war from Western countries captured in various naval battles.
On the huge treasure ship as a command ship, the spacious command cabin, and the huge combat sand table, staff officer Li Yinglong held a wooden stick and pointed to the sand table while explaining to everyone:
"From the information provided by the captives, we have marked on the sand table the spheres of influence of the Western countries in India, and the generals, please see, first of all, Portugal, who were the first European countries to reach India;
They went ashore at Kozhikode, Kerala, and occupied Goa. Later, the Portuguese controlled almost all of the coastal areas on the east and west sides of India for a time, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, they gained control of Ceylon.
Portugal established trading posts in Goa, Daman, Diu, and Dadra-Nagar Haveli, and used Goa as the Portuguese governorate in India.
This was followed by the Dutch, who seized most of the area of Kongzhì, which had previously belonged to Portugal, including the main port of Ceylon, and which currently had only one colony in Goa.
The Dutch have taken control of various ports on India's southeast coast, including trading posts along the mouth of the Ganges.
The last to arrive were the British, who landed in Surat, and then obtained permission from the Mughal emperor to establish trading posts in Calcutta and Madras. β
After the staff officer Li Yinglong finished speaking, Hai Rufeng continued: "If it is normal to send troops to India this time, we only need to target the Dutch first and seize Ceylon, as well as all the colonies and trading ports of the Dutch in India.
But now the situation is that the Mughal emperor Sha. The army led by Jahan's fourth son, Aurangzeb, with the support of the British weapons, won one victory after another, and the small Hindu states of central and southern India were defeated again and again, and if we did not intervene, these small states could soon be wiped out by Auliangzeb.
According to His Majesty's requirements, on the Indian continent, there must be the coexistence of various sects and their own sides, especially not to allow India to be fully Islamized.
Therefore, we will not only attack the Dutch, but also support the small Hindu states in the south to fight against the Mughals, so that we may go to war again with the British, who have close trade ties with the Mughals. β
The deputy admiral said: "It is not difficult for us to seize one or a few Dutch trading ports in the southeast, and according to the priority, we can avoid a full-scale conflict with the Dutch for the time being." Here, Cuttac, and here, Chennai. Then there is Thanjavur in the south;
After controlling the trading ports of these three places, we used this as a foundation to support the small Hindu states in the south to resist the Mughal army, and in the process, slowly control these small countries.
After the situation in the south-central and southern parts of India is stabilized, we will use these small countries as pawns to make a big fight in India, attack the Mughals in the north, and completely expel the Dutch at sea. β
Du Yanshi frowned and asked, "General Ke, how are you going to help these small countries in the south, do you want to let Daqin's marines go ashore to help them fight?" β
Hai Rufeng shook his head and said: "This can't be done, even if we want to help these small countries, we can't let ourselves be trapped." β
Staff officer Li Yinglong said: "The British mainly provide weapons to the Mughal Dynasty, we can do this, my Daqin is now gradually replacing the 69-type flintlock rifle, the original smoothbore guns and swords, guns and arrows can be shipped to sell to these small countries, and even the earth-shaking thunder can be sold to them at a high price;
As long as there is a stable base for the earth-shaking thunder, we can produce it here, anyway, this weapon does not have much technical content, the Dutch have already imitated it, and it is only a matter of time before various countries imitate it in the future, so we don't want to make a big profit with it first. β
