Chapter 716 I heard that India was going to be partitioned? So we all came!

June 6, 1682 AD.

The Hague, Consul Palace of the Federal Republic of the Netherlands.

"Prince Regent, Lord Qiu, Li Zhongtang, A Zhongtang, our work in Mongolia is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. We will not eat all the benefits by eating alone. But we have to decide how to divide this benefit.

This rule must be divided according to the contribution of each family. In addition, we have to discuss how to govern Tianzhu after conquering it. Whether to maintain a unified Tianzhu or divide each family into one must be finalized first.

Let me tell you first, our Mongol army has many generals, and I can send 200,000 troops this time! If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to follow me back to the Tashkent grassland to count. I promise, there will only be more!"

It was Soetu who spoke. These days, he has become an international diplomat. Not only did he negotiate the preliminary strategy for carving up India with William III, the ruler of the Netherlands, but he also came forward with William III to discuss the dispatch of troops and the plan.

The Hague Conference on the Partition of India.

Those attending the Hague Conference were big shots from the Netherlands, England, France, and Portugal, which are imperialist countries with huge interests in India.

The regent Soetu referred to was William III, the ruler of the Netherlands.

The Lord Qiu mentioned by Soetu is an Englishman with a cute pretty face. His name is John Churchill. He is the younger brother of Arabella Churchill, the mistress of James, Duke of York, heir to the throne of England. He is a die-hard security guard in the family.

Of course, he himself was a die-hard royalist. During the Third Anglo-Dutch War, he followed the Duke of York to the Netherlands and befriended William III in the Netherlands. Later, he went to serve in the French army, the enemy of the Netherlands, for several years (British

, France, and the Netherlands), at the end of the Anglo-Dutch War, he was ordered to go to the Netherlands to engage in secret diplomacy, which promoted the marriage of William III and the eldest daughter of the Duke of York. After the event was completed, he was granted a baronet. At this time, the Duke of York heard that there was a partition

India's good deeds immediately sent their confidant Churchill to The Hague.

The person who was called Li Zhongtang by Souetu was Louis XIV's Foreign Minister Hugo. Leodeau - Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, it is not an exaggeration to call him Zhongtang, right? Although Louis XIV and William III were enemies

, it was extremely shameful for the English to betray their alliance with France after accepting the benefits of William III. However, when he heard that there was an India that could be divided, he immediately asked his Minister of State for Foreign Affairs to pack his bags and come to the Netherlands.

How could such a good thing as the partition of India not include France? As for the conflicts with England and the Netherlands, we can put them aside for now. It won’t be too late to settle the accounts after the partition of India.

The "Azhongtang" is Portugal's Chief Minister Alfonso, who came to The Hague to negotiate on behalf of the Portuguese Regent Pedro. Although Portugal's national power has long since expired, they still have a colony of Goa in India, so

They were also indispensable for the good deeds of partitioning India.

"Special Envoy Suo'etu, how many of your 200,000 Mongolian troops are equipped with flintlock rifles? How many infantry can form a line formation? How many field artillery can you have that can follow the movement of the infantry?"

The "Lord Qiu" of England who asked the question, although he is a pretty boy, he is a pretty boy who has experienced many wars. He also learned the most advanced army tactics in Europe on the battlefields of the Franco-Dutch War. In addition, he also participated in England's military campaigns in the past two years.

The Army's "low sugar" and "bayonet" upgrades have given the British Army more confidence in its combat effectiveness.

In his opinion, if the 200,000 Mongolian cavalry had been placed during the Mongolian eldest son's Western Expedition hundreds of years ago, it would have been easy to sweep across Europe, let alone India. But now... times have changed.

!

John Churchill spoke Latin - the diplomatic language in Europe these days is Latin. Souetu did not understand Latin, so Nan Huairen had to translate it.

"Hahaha," Suo'etu laughed loudly after hearing this, "it's up to the regent to answer this!"

His words were translated into Latin.

William III took the question with a smile and said to John Churchill: "John, the current Great Mongolia was actually founded by the remnants of the Qing Dynasty who notified China earlier. And sweet gunpowder, rocket launchers, bayonets, super-caliber shells, trenches

New weapons and methods of warfare, etc., all first appeared in the Chinese Civil War. As far as I know, they currently have at least ten more than ten thousand people who combine infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and heavy equipment for field warfare.

Corps...they call it Solid Mountain.

Their regular infantry were basically equipped with flintlocks and bayonets, while the artillery developed mounted artillery and mounted rocket artillery that could follow the cavalry.

In addition, they also have a small number of shock cavalry trained by our Dutch and Spanish officers!"

What? So advanced!

John Churchill was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The infantry has bayonets and flintlock guns, the cavalry is followed by mounted artillery and mounted rocket artillery, as well as professional shock cavalry... and there is also a combined field regiment of 10,000 people!

The largest army combined corps here in Europe only has a few thousand brigades, but the Mongols already have a combined field corps of 10,000 people in Gushan...

"So, then they were defeated?" John Churchill asked.

William III sighed: "Because their enemy owns 100% of the world's sugar production, and has about fifty 10,000-person synthetic field corps 'towns'... and their infantry

and cavalry are generally equipped with sweet powder grenades with cable fuses!"

"Isn't this too powerful?" John Churchill was shocked.

William III shrugged, "Is this surprising? They are a superpower with a population of 50 to 60 million people, and they are also the biggest beneficiaries of the Sweet Powder Revolution. Not long ago, they easily conquered a country with 20 million people.

Japan, with its population and hundreds of thousands of feudal warriors, turned the latter into its own vassal state!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So... we may have to stop at the Strait of Malacca!"

He only said half of what he said, and the other half meant that the zero-dollar shopping market east of Malacca would no longer be possible, so he could only do a good job in the zero-dollar shopping market west of Malacca.

The zero-dollar shopping market west of Malacca is divided into India, Ottoman, and Persia.

The markets of the Ottomans, Persia, England and the Netherlands were untouchable, so they had no choice but to carve up India together.

"We, the British, want to get Bangladesh." John Churchill didn't waste any time and immediately set out the conditions. "In addition, our colony Bombay on the west coast of India must also be expanded accordingly. And we also need Mongolia to develop their market.

And negotiate to set reasonable tariffs.

To this end, the British East India Company will dispatch at least 10,000 mercenaries to launch an attack in Bengal."

In fact, the East India Company had been planning to invade Bangladesh for several years! But they definitely couldn't provide 10,000 people, and a few thousand mercenaries would be overwhelming.

Historically, this invasion was easily defeated by Aurangzeb, and in the end the British East India Company paid compensation...

"We in France can dispatch five thousand people to launch an attack on the southeast coast of India!" France's "Li Zhongtang" continued what "Lord Qiu" said, "We already have a colony called Pondicherry in that area."

"Our goal in Portugal is to expand the colony in Goa Province," Portugal's Alfonso Alpontana also made a request. "We have a considerable number of colonial troops in Goa, and we also have very good relations with the Marathas.

...If possible, we can win over the Marathas to join the war for the partition of India!”

William III finally said with a smile: "We in the Federal Republic of the Netherlands need to turn the peninsula in southern India into a sphere of influence... To do this, we will dispatch a navy and army of about 8,000 people, together with England,
Chapter completed!
