Chapter 1646 I thought about it for three days and three nights...
The Mughal Empire has regarded the Kingdom of Ahom as a taboo, and sooner or later it will eat the meat in its belly.
Now someone comes to fight for it, which immediately touches the sensitive nerves of Tianzhu people.
While Zumrah sent a special envoy to Ahom to put pressure, he quickly mobilized his army to prepare for use of force at any time, and quickly reported to Shah Jahan.
He is not a fool either.
Although I don’t know the details of the empire, I have seen what happened to the Netherlands, Portugal and Britain over the years.
Especially Goa, it is an eternal pain in the hearts of Indian people.
After it was occupied by the Portuguese, the two sultanates launched several attacks to take it back.
In 1571, a coalition of 30,000 troops from Bijapur and Hammed Nagar launched an eight-month siege on Goa, but it ultimately ended in failure.
How many Portuguese are there in Goa?
There are only five hundred people.
The Tianzhu people, who were still using primitive weapons, were really helpless when facing the Portuguese, who were equipped with muskets and artillery.
Now Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom all stand with the empire, and Zumlach is also feeling the pressure.
Furthermore, he is a minister after all, and he is also afraid that things will get serious, especially if he loses on the battlefield, he will take the blame.
Only by reporting the matter and letting Shah Jahan decide what to do would there be no risk.
Like him, Hou Xun also informed the central government of the situation.
Although he is the King of Yu and is fully responsible for Nanyang affairs, major events such as starting a war must be authorized by the central government.
Furthermore, the empire's military strength in Nanyang was not enough after all, and it was still unable to conquer a big country like Tianzhu. The empire had to mobilize troops from other places to achieve Hou Xun's ultimate goal.
The empire now has military operations in the north and southwest, and Japan also needs to show its presence. Only with good coordination can the military power be fully exerted.
Otherwise, no matter how big the country is, blindly mobilizing troops will still be dangerous.
Unlike him, Zuo Mengeng was puzzled when he received the report.
"I thought about it for three days and three nights but I still can't figure it out. How dare the people of Tianzhu dare? It's the joint will of eight countries. Do the people of Tianzhu really think they can handle it?"
At this time, Zuo Mengeng fully felt the feelings of the teacher back then.
Ah San is really blindly confident and arrogant, and there is no one he dares not offend.
Of course, the consequences will probably be unforgettable for Ah San.
Unlike Hou Xun who was worried about resorting to militarism, Zuo Mengeng really knew Asan's fighting ability very well.
To fight these things, you don't actually need too many troops.
"Mindanao is almost done. Let the Third Marine Division send advance troops there and accept the command of King Yu."
Even though he looked down upon the Tianzhu people's fighting power, Zuo Menggeng still sent more troops.
The main reason is that Tianzhu’s area is too large.
It is not difficult to defeat them, but occupying them really requires additional troops.
As Mindanao is about to be completely controlled by the empire, Nanyang has no place to use it. The vast number of soldiers also need a new stage to gain their achievements and glory.
Hou Xun has not yet received a reply from the center, but Zumrah's envoy has arrived at Ahom.
"Any action that challenges the Mughal Empire will be punished. Now is your last chance to admit your mistake. Leave Ahom immediately, and personally apologize to our Khan and offer enough gifts. Otherwise, you will be chopped down.
Lower your heads to worship the gods."
Seeing the Tianzhu envoy speaking so shamelessly, Hou Xun, Claude, David, Gomez and others all looked at each other in shock.
Whether it was the first time to interact with Tianzhu people or those who thought they knew enough about Tianzhu people, they were all confused at this time.
Brother, are you so brave?
Even without Hou Xun saying anything, Claude couldn't help it.
"Tianzhu's violation of Ahom violates the purpose of peace in South Asia and harms the inherent power of the empire. As an ally of the empire and an important force in South Asia, we urge Tianzhu to recognize the facts and give up unnecessary ambitions. Otherwise,
The alliance will never sit idly by and ignore this."
The British instinct has kicked in.
What Claude hopes most is for the Empire and Tianzhu to fight.
No matter who loses or wins, the UK will take advantage.
So fanning the flames at this time is definitely the best thing to do.
Hou Xun was very aware of what he was doing, but it didn't matter.
When the National Defense Force takes action, these allies with evil intentions will recognize the reality and return to their rightful place.
Seeing that his threats were ineffective, the Tianzhu envoy turned to threaten Su Yafa.
"Is Ahom really going to betray Tianzhu? Can you bear the anger of betraying Tianzhu?"
Su Yafa was so frightened that Tianzhu had cast too great a shadow on him in recent years.
He couldn't help but look at Hou Xun.
Hou Xun did not disappoint him.
The former imperial prime minister went against the elegance of a literary man. When he stood up, he casually drew out the guard's sword. The tip of the sword, which shone with cold light, was pointed at the Tianzhu envoy, but it was not as chilling as his words.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Like an electric current flowing through his body, Su Yafa felt so comfortable for the first time in his life.
"The will of the superior country is Ahom's mission. The numerous blood debts in the past will all be liquidated this time."
The envoy from Tianzhu thought that Hou Xun was going to kill someone, so he was really shocked. The words "the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy" were on his lips, but he found that only by declaring war could he breathe again.
"Tianzhu has received your ideas, let's see the real results on the battlefield."
The negotiations naturally ended unhappily.
Both the empire and Tianzhu have core interests, and there is no possibility of peace. Without a fight to determine the outcome, there will be no result.
Seeing the Tianzhu envoy leaving in a hurry, the only thing Su Yafa could count on were his allies.
Fortunately, my allies this time are very powerful.
The next day, representatives of the First Division, who had been preparing intensively for battle in Myitkyina, rushed to the capital of Ahom.
"At present, the entire division has completed training and can go into battle at any time."
Chief of Staff Chen Mingda's eager expression represents the attitude of the First Division.
who are they?
It is the First Division of the National Defense Forces.
This is the army that started as the National Defense Force, the big brother among the big brothers.
However, other fraternal units have been achieving brilliant results over the years, but the First Division has never won a big battle. The entire army has been suffocating for a long time and is about to explode.
When fighting in the southwest, they were the main force, and the journey was like traveling through mountains and rivers.
Now the 10th Division is preparing to march to the plateau, and the task of fighting Tianzhu falls squarely on their heads.
To show off its power in a foreign land, the first division must show its style.
Hou Xun was overjoyed when he learned that the strong army was ready.
He asked with concern: "If you need anything else, please tell me and I will solve it for you in one go."
The first division is really having difficulties.
Chen Mingda began to complain.
"The road from Myitkyina is too difficult, and we can't carry more food and grass. We must be prepared here, otherwise, the battle will not be carried out smoothly."
