Chapter 838
Indian mobs fell at gunpoint one after another. Wu Sangui stood at the window and watched all this. He despised these mobs in his heart. He could kill himself by shooting at the window, but they chose to stay below.
Fight against the fierce Gurkhas.
The loyal Gurkhas are fulfilling their duties, and the military pay given to them by Wu Sangui over the years has not been in vain. They have proved their loyalty with their actions.
The Indians rushed up one after another, and then fell down one after another. It was not difficult to defeat them. As long as the leading few were defeated, the rest would disperse in a rush.
This is a nation without hope. The vast majority of people will only wave the flag and shout from behind. The warriors who really charge forward will be secretly called fools.
They attacked again and again, and failed again and again. Looking at the many people participating in the attack, except for the first time, not many people died. According to their way of fighting, it is estimated that they will fight in three to five years.
If you don't come in, you and your soldiers will have a higher chance of starving to death.
Li Xiao outside the city was sitting on a chair at this time, and in front of him stood Queen Zhang Xi. The noble queen could only stand in front of Li Xiao.
"Bombay City has no weapons left. I know that we arrived late when Zhang Xi fought. This caused a lot of losses to your people. Now I will let you go into the city for three days. During these three days, you can stay in Bombay City.
Do whatever you want.
As for how much you can rob, that depends on you. But remember one thing, the port is not allowed to be touched. Whoever touches the Bombay Port will pay for it and send people to repair it."
The tongue man translated Li Xiao's words to Queen Zhang Xi, who nodded to show that he understood. "Dear Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, thank you for everything you have done for Zhang Xi. From now on, Zhang Xi will
The Westerners are your slaves. We will move in the direction you lead, and we will unconditionally obey the Ming Empire.
Everyone in Zhangxi, including me, will serve you for life." Queen Zhangxi's words were extremely humble, and she completely lost Zhangxi's sovereignty.
Only with strength can there be sovereignty. Queen Zhang Xi understands the meaning of this. Now Zhang Xi's greatest ability is to work and carry shoes for the Ming Dynasty. If he does not position himself correctly, Li Xiao's words will lead to the destruction of Zhang Xi people.
disaster.
Li Xiao nodded, expressing that he was satisfied with Queen Zhang Xi's humility. He waved his hand, and Queen Zhang Xi walked out with the kings of the Indian states.
"Brother Xiao, why did Mao let them fight for three days? We won this battle? All the benefits were taken by others." The man left and Master Ao sat down next to Li Xiao.
Sun Xing looked at Mr. Ao and was stunned? He had only heard these three words "Brother Xiao" from Sun Chengzong's mouth. Even Zhang Huangyan did not dare to call Li Xiao that way!
Li Xiao didn't care at all? He sat lazily on the recliner.
"You let the people of Zhangxi rob you for three days, how dare they not respect you? You can even ask Queen Zhangxi to sleep with you now! Let them rob you for three days first? Then you go to them to ask for money. It's your turn.
It won’t be a penny less.”
"Why do you take off your pants and fart? It's very troublesome!" Mr. Ao muttered, very dissatisfied, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Li Xiao did not accept the cigarette handed over by Master Ao, but extended his hand to Sun Xing. Sun Xing quickly took out the cigar and put it in Li Xiao's hand.
"Smoke this? It's better than China." Li Xiao handed it to Master Ao.
"Are you Lu Ziguang? You can actually get this thing. His grandma's, I can't even buy it with money." Mr. Ao was not polite, took it, lit it and took a sip, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"It is the people of Zhangxi who are robbing things, and the people of Mumbai will also hate the people of Zhangxi in the future. Let Indians hate each other? This is a very meaningful thing. Two countries that hate each other will never merge again in the future.
become a country.
In the future, there will be more than fifty small states on this land. They all have to curry favor with our Ming Dynasty, otherwise without the support of the Ming Dynasty, they will be annexed by other states at any time.
Don't underestimate the desire of the kings of these countries to preserve their rights. In order to preserve their rights, they are willing to sacrifice everything. In the future, when we deal with the Indians, we will never need to dispatch such a huge army.
With a battalion under your command? With the army of the slave country, you can wipe out all the rebels. Except for our Ming Dynasty, there should be no big country in this world. As long as it appears, we will find a way to dismember it. The more broken it is, the better.
, it is best if a county is a country.
In this way, we can always stand on the top of the world's nations." Li Xiao took another cigar from Sun Xing, and Sun Xing helped light it. Li Xiao smoked the cigar while talking to Mr. Ao about India, and even the world.
's future.
"You are becoming more and more like a bad guy now, but for Ming Dynasty, this is a solid good thing. Seeing you being such a gangster to the Indians makes me relieved. Ming Dynasty will never commit the same crimes as those old scholars again
Error!
Damn it, how can you be so virtuous towards others after conquering the land? The land was created with knives and guns, yet you still have so little virtuous attitude. Could it be said that you are being virtuous? You killed someone else’s son and killed his father.
Hatred no longer exists? What a joke!" Ao Canghai sneered at those at home who demanded lenient policies towards foreign colonies.
Li Xiao didn't like those people either. He only knew about the poems written by the Master all day long. They didn't know that many people in the world actually didn't know how to be courteous and courteous. There were far more jackals in the world than rabbits. Let one
The lion keeps being polite to the wolf all day long, and the wolf will only slowly steal the lion's prey. Moreover, he disrespects the lion more and more in his heart.
"There will not be such a policy. The totem of our nation is the dragon. It can stir up the wind, spread rain, and travel in the nine heavens. We are the descendants of the dragon, and everything in the world should be ours. As for the Indians, who knows what they believe in
What is it? I heard that they are now sick and have the tradition of drinking cow urine."
"Hmph! During the march, those Indians were very humble. They didn't dare to look at our army. But one of my men killed two cows in the village. The people in the village actually came over with sickles and hoes, howling, and wanted to fight with me.
He fought hard and killed three of my soldiers!
When I was so angry, the whole village started shooting with machine guns. I don’t know how crazy they were!” Mr. Ao felt very incomprehensible to the behavior of the Indians.
"It's all a trivial matter. Killing our soldiers and massacring one of their villages is a loss. We should massacre all the surrounding villages! They are all young soldiers who have followed us through life and death. I reviewed the troops before setting off.
Many of the old brothers who started with us are no longer here. Some have retired from the army, some have died in the war, and some have been injured and disabled and returned to their hometowns. Alas...! Seeing that the good times are over, I really don’t want our young soldiers to...
Someone will die again." Li Xiao sighed. He had been used to seeing life and death for so many years. But he became more and more afraid of seeing the dead!
Of course, Li Xiao didn't care how many Indians died. What he was afraid of was seeing large-scale casualties in the Ming army, so every time he fought, he calculated and calculated again. He figured out the best way to fight and chose the most suitable one.
Only with good combat timing can his troops launch an attack.
Every time the Ming army fought in these years, it achieved the greatest victory at the smallest cost. In a battle like the Battle of Zhangxi, 150,000 Indian troops were killed in one battle. The Ming army suffered only more than a hundred casualties. Only those who actually died were
More than twenty people were all killed in the battle to eliminate the remaining Gurkhas in Zhangxi City.
"That's you, taking the lives of brothers and treating them as lives. When I was in Korea with the Ming Dynasty army, the life of a soldier was not called life. After a war, the person who died was the old man.
The nose is broken. Wounded soldiers are the worst offenders. They are left in the wounded barracks and no one cares about them.
More than 70% of people will die in the end, hey...! Think about that scene, and then look at how we fight now, it's really like the sky and the earth. These guys, they are lucky to meet you in this life." Ao Canghai said with gratitude.
When we were fighting in Korea, and now we are fighting the Indians.
Li Xiao smiled, this is basically a war between two eras.
During the Korean War, the Ming army still used front-loading artillery and many blunderbuss.
But what kind of weapons are being used now, large-caliber howitzers, general-purpose machine guns, and the Aka assault rifle in his hand. As for grenades and the like, they are no longer considered big killers.
Not to mention, huge airships flying in the sky and huge ships running in the sea, these were things that I could not even think of at that time.
Weapons are not the most important thing. What is more important is the change in the concept of combat. Hand-to-hand combat has become history, but logistics has become the key to war.
Although there were not many casualties in the Battle of Zhangxi, more than a thousand tons of various combat supplies, especially artillery shells, were fired. In addition to various supplies, cargo ships shuttled between Singapore and Ceylon every day.
Shiploads of supplies were delivered to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is almost the last battle. There will be no more battles to fight in the future. We will go back to Daming tomorrow and have a good rest. I feel like I have been fighting outside for so many years. I haven't been at home a few times in the past year!"
"
"These years have been really tiring for you. This time you go back to the Ming Dynasty to get a few women and give birth to a lot of babies. By the way, I heard that someone in the court has already written a letter saying that they want you to ascend the throne and become the emperor. You
What do you think?"
Li Xiao glanced at Ao Canghai. This guy stayed with him today because he probably wanted to ask this question. This was related to their actual interests. After Li Xiao became the emperor, the Ming Dynasty would belong to the Li family from now on. Based on Li Xiao's
My character is that I will never treat my old friends badly.
Perhaps, this is also a question that a large number of old subordinates want to ask.
"I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to take a closer look and talk about it. Ming Dynasty does not have an emperor now, so it is not living well. We will talk about the future in the future. We still have to fight this battle well. We have to find a way to defeat that bastard Wu Sangui.
I just need to catch Dan. I'm not willing to let him die like this." Li Xiao didn't give an accurate answer. This kind of thing is definitely not suitable to be said in front of the two armies.
Li Xiao was very smart and brought the topic to Wu Sangui.
"This bitch has done so many things to us over the years. If it weren't for his interference, the Mongols wouldn't have fought so hard with us. How many of our brothers have died in the northwest war over the years. His motherfucker
Yes, when I think about this bastard, I feel so hateful that my teeth hurt." As expected, Master Ao was filled with indignation.
"Do you think he will commit suicide?" Li Xiao took a puff of cigarette.
"Probably! The Indians in the city are rebelling, and Wu Sangui can't escape now even if he wants to. I think there is a 80% chance that he will commit suicide. He knows what will happen if he is captured and brought back to the Ming Dynasty."
"Then tell me, if we let the news out, whoever captures Wu Sangui alive will be the lord of Bombay in the future, will anyone believe our words?" Li Hao suddenly had an idea. It would be better to let the Indians capture Wu Sangui. This
It was much easier than the Liao soldiers rushing in and capturing Wu Sangui.
God knows how many casualties his people would suffer after they stormed into Bombay City. If Wu Sangui had just approached Wu Sangui's hiding place and Wu Sangui committed suicide again, he would be depressed to death.
"I think it can work. Indians are crazy now. In order to survive and get rich, they are willing to do anything. Let them arrest Wu Sangui. There is a high chance of catching someone alive." Ao Ye nodded and decided that Li Xiao
The method is very good. Indians have no faith at all.
"Then let the wind go out now and let the Indians catch Wu Sangui. Whoever wants to catch Wu Sangui will let him make the decision in Bombay in the future." Li Xiao immediately ordered, and Sun Xing hurried out to deliver the order.
This order must be spread immediately. Given the current situation, Wu Sangui may commit suicide at any time.
Li Xiao's order was quickly transmitted through the loudspeaker. Tomorrow the Zhangxi people will enter Bombay, and tonight is the last chance.
When the Indians heard the news, they immediately fell into madness. Everyone wanted to be the future master of Mumbai!
Wu Sangui suddenly discovered that the Indians besieging the Governor's Mansion had become very brave. Even if a heavy machine gun was mounted at the door, the Indians would rush over madly. Several times, they even almost broke through the blockade and entered the Governor's Mansion.
In the end, it was the Gurkha Guards who drove the people out with their Gurkha scimitars.
"What happened to India? Why is it so crazy all of a sudden?" Wu Sangui asked, looking down.
"Li Xiao told those Indians that whoever catches you will be the future Lord of Bombay." The adjutant behind him replied tremblingly.
"Idiot! They actually think that Li Xiao can keep his word. How could a man who believes in absolute force fulfill his promise and hand over the management of Mumbai to an Indian?
If my guess is correct, Li Xiao will let the Zhangxi people come and rob them all. Then he will send the Liao army into the city with a loud roar! Damn it, I will live to the end this time."
"Mr. George sent someone to tell us to evacuate to the port. Tonight, our warships will leave the port at night. Although the Ming army has many ironclads, we still have a chance to sneak out when it is dark."
