When he thought that he and the Mughal Empire of India were facing internal and external troubles and the unfavorable situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, Aurangzeb, the great Mughal emperor, was about to make a big move!

Although Aurangzeb left a mess to his heirs, he has not yet gone to meet God. His empire has not yet exhausted its financial resources due to the endless Deccan wars.

Control of the river basin remains strong.

He still possesses the most evil and most corrupting weapon in the world - the evil money!

Moreover, he also has a capable minister who is best at using money to bribe enemies, and that is Amir Khan, who is kneeling at his feet to plead guilty.

"Amir!" Aurangzeb's cold voice rang in Amir Khan's ears.

Aamir Khan quickly lay down at Aurangzeb's feet, shivering, sweat dripping down the tip of his nose to the ground.

"You go to Mrauk-U City," Aurangzeb said sternly, "you must bring His Excellency Yongli of the Ming Empire to our side...otherwise, don't come back to see me alive!"

Amir Khan quickly replied: "Your Majesty Alamgir, thank you for your trust in me. I will definitely not betray your trust this time. In order to ensure the success of winning over Yongli, I hope you can generously give him a hundred

Wan’s meeting gift.”

Aurangzeb snorted: "No, one million is too little... I will give you three million!"

The "one million" and "three million" mentioned by Aamir Khan and Aurangzeb refer to silver rupee coins. A silver rupee coin weighs three cents. Three silver coins are equivalent to one tael of silver or one Ming dynasty silver coin.

of silver dollars..

Aurangzeb gave three million rupees at a time which was equivalent to giving one million silver dollars... This was just a meeting gift!

Although this Aurangzeb is very stingy about himself, reluctant to eat or wear, and seems to be a pauper. But in fact, he is the richest man in the world in this era! And he is the "working richest man" without bubbles. Because the country he rules

Now it has a population of nearly 150 million, and its fiscal revenue exceeds 300 million rupees... Aurangzeb only spent 1% of his annual income to buy "Yongli".

Although the empire ruled by Zhu Heji was much larger than Aurangzeb's country, it was vast and sparsely populated. If Japan was not included, the population was only over 60 million, and the annual fiscal revenue was only 50 to 60 million silver dollars.

, almost half that of the Mughals in India.

Although a large amount of funds can be raised in a short period of time by relying on the financial system with Dongchang Guanyinhao, Dongchangguanyinhao, Penglaiyinhao, and Nanyang Yinhao as its core. But those are all borrowed debts that must be repaid...

...And Aurangzeb's Mughal Empire's income of just over 300 million rupees is a real "hard finance"!

Although Kangxi Khan's invasion dealt a heavy blow to the national defense of the Indian Mughal Empire, it was very beneficial to Aurangzeb's finances, at least in the short term. Because Afghanistan captured by Kangxi Khan had always been a waste of money.

Buy a safe place. Not only did the tribal chiefs of Afghanistan not pay taxes to Aurangzeb, but they also had to receive subsidies from Aurangzeb.

Now that Kangxi Khan has captured Afghanistan, Aurangzeb naturally does not have to pay subsidies to the Afghan chiefs, which can save several million!

In addition, after Kangxi Khan conquered Afghanistan, Aurangzeb also had to end the Deccan War, which was extremely costly and not worth the gains - just look at the map of India and you will know what the Deccan Plateau looks like!

Compared with the oil-rich Great Plains in northern India, the Deccan Plateau located in the central and southern part of the Indian subcontinent is a bad land with complex terrain and harsh climate. That is, the coastal areas on both sides of the plateau look pretty good.

But what Aurangzeb wanted was to completely conquer the Deccan Plateau, and it would be best to turn all the Hindus living in the Deccan Plateau into Devabha believers. Therefore, the war on the Deccan Plateau was a long, invisible one.

It was a hopeless and extremely expensive war. Even the Mughal Empire in India, which had an income of 300 million rupees, was eventually dragged into bankruptcy by this long war.

Therefore, ending the Deccan War early would be a huge benefit to the finances of the Mughal Empire!

Now Aurangzeb had real financial freedom and could use all kinds of money to bribe Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong who had just broken into the Arakan Kingdom.

And just when Amir Khan was heading to Mrauk U, the capital of the Kingdom of Arakan, with three million rupees of evil money, Sir Child, the governor of the British East India Company, had already brought his kilometer, justice,

As well as a troop dispatch contract that Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong could not understand at all, and 10,000 silver coins, they were escorted to the palace in Mrauk-U City.

Yes, he was escorted here and tied up, and the wig on his head was torn off, revealing a bald head.

This Sir Child is really unlucky. He did not come to Mrauk-U to contact General Wu under the command of "Yongli Ye". He came to the King of Arakan to discuss sending troops to seize Chittagong -

- He had a good agreement with the King of Arakan before. After capturing Chittagong, both parties would manage it together. The East India Company would manage the port and trade, and the rest would belong to Arakan. In addition, the East India Company also promised to give the Kingdom of Arakan 10,000 silver rupees.

When the first payment is made.

But when he came back to Mrauk U with silver rupees, the Arakan Kingdom was gone!

In the blink of an eye, such a big Arakan was gone!

And even Myanmar next door to Arakan is gone!

Both countries were conquered by the army led by "Yongli Ye" sent by the Ming Empire...

And this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the Ming army guarding Mrauk U port did not stop Sir Child's ship when it entered the port. They waited until his ship docked before sending people to collect taxes and even went up.

Check the ship to see if there are any contraband.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sir Child did not know that Arakan had been conquered at the time, so he sternly refused and ordered the gun windows on the ship to be opened!

The British East India Company was powerful, and a country like Arakan must learn to abide by the rules based on strength set by the company.

As a result, the Ming army guarding the port brought a single-barreled rocket launcher, and then aimed at the armed merchant ship and fired several rockets. With one "bomb", the side of Sir Child's armed merchant ship was blown out.

Big hole.

Only then did Sir Child realize that something was wrong, and quickly asked someone to fly a white flag...

So he was treated as a pirate and tied up in front of Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong.

"Hmph, you are such a reckless pirate who dares to take advantage of me... Where is the person coming? Take him out and chop him down!"

Wu Guogui had never seen any foreign devils, didn't know anything about the East India Company or the West India Company, couldn't understand the contract in foreign language, and had no interest in interrogating him, so he directly ordered the execution.

"Got the order!"

The soldiers of the Wu family who were escorting Child and others responded, and rushed towards them like menaces, dragging them out to be beheaded. This frightened Child, and he quickly shouted in Mandarin Chinese: "Don't do it."

Kill me, I have money..."

Upon hearing that he had money, Wu Guogui quickly waved his hand and told his soldiers to kill slowly.

"Tell me, who are you? What are you doing in Mrauk-U City?" Wu Guogui asked calmly, "Also, you can obviously speak human language, why did you just chatter nonsense?"

"Don't kill me, I have money..."

Sir Child still says this - in fact, he knows this!

This sentence is what all employees of the British East India Company must learn in order to save their lives when encountering the Ming Dynasty's zero-yuan purchase in the South China Sea.

"I know you are rich, but let me ask you who you are?"

"Don't kill me, I have money..." Child was crying anxiously. He already knew that the person asking the question was a high-ranking Chinese official - he had been to Guangzhou and Shanghai, and had met officials from the Ming Dynasty, but

He could only speak a word of Chinese, but he had no answer at all. The armed merchant ship he was on board had a chief executive who could speak Chinese, but the chief executive was on the ship now and had not gotten off!
