Chapter 284 Total Hundred Kui() Temple Calculation
Since Gao Pragmatic's topic of "imperial power has no eternity" was briefly mentioned by him, and then he discussed in detail why Akbar wanted to engage in sectarian tolerance, then the three members of the Gao family wisely focused their attention on
Focus on the current situation in India and be consistent with the head of the family.
This time, Gao Guoyan rarely interrupted: "I remember that when the Secretary-General was still there a few days ago, the Secretariat gave me a statement, which roughly explained the current financial system of the Mughal Empire in India...
With all due respect, these Mongols have made almost no progress in hundreds of years."
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Gao Pragmatic has been very busy recently, but he didn't know that Liu Xin had sent Gao Guoyan instructions about the financial system of the Mughal Empire when he was there. But he was not surprised, because the stalls were now too big, and there were many things
He can't even do it himself.
For example, if the secretariat sends a note to Gao Guoyan, as long as the secretariat believes that the issue is a financial-related issue, it will send a note to Gao Guoyan, who is in charge of Jinghua's finances, without having to inform Gao Pragmatic himself separately.
.Unless the Secretariat believes that this is a comprehensive issue of major importance, it needs to be reported to a high-level pragmatic decision.
As soon as Gao Guoyan heard what Gao Guoyan said, he understood that this statement was sent to him alone to understand the situation in India, but Gao Guoyan did not know about it. Therefore, Gao Guoyan simply explained: "That statement roughly summarized something.
There are several pieces of information that impressed me deeply.
For example, intelligence from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Secretariat shows that although the army controlled by Akbar is very large, there is no logistical organization. When the army marches, mobile workshops and shops will follow the movement of the military camp, and the army's supplies
It is provided by these huge markets that follow the army."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned and frowned: "Is the news accurate?"
Gao Guoyan couldn't answer this question, so he turned to look at Gao Qi. Gao Qi immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, the news is true. This information was obtained by our agents among the Nanyang businessmen. They are all businessmen all year round.
Travelers in Southeast Asia have begun to be sent to the Indian region in recent years, and have gone deep into the interior of India to inquire about a lot of information.
According to Fourth Uncle’s previous requests, these information did not come from a single source, but were accepted and confirmed by the Secretariat after several or more pieces of information were mutually verified, so we can completely believe that it is accurate.”
"Very good, you did a good job." Gao Pragmatic praised first, and then said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, it can be seen that these troops of Mongolian descent have become Indianized very quickly since they entered India. In other words, although they are now
It is still in the expansion period, but its actual combat effectiveness must have declined."
None of the three of them knew what Gao Pragmatic meant by the Indianization of the Mongolian army, and why "the actual combat effectiveness must have declined" once it was Indianized. But in any case, his reaction meant that he basically agreed with Gao Guoyan.
Viewpoints. Of course, the focus of the two people is obviously different.
Gao Guoyan said: "Although I don't understand military affairs, one thing you can imagine is that when an army like this goes into battle, at least it cannot be as fast as it can be. It can only push forward all the way."
Gao Pingshi raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled: "Actually, I quite like pushing flat all the way."
When he said this, Gao Guoyan couldn't help but be speechless. Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic laughed and added: "However, there is a prerequisite for pushing all the way, and that is - our side will win in a crushing manner regardless of military strength or logistical support.
Pass the enemy.
In this case, pushing all the way is the safest way of playing, which essentially forces the opponent to fight with you, and relying on your strong national strength, you can naturally win the battle without any suspense."
Gao Guoyan nodded and said: "What you mean is that the Mughals now have a crushing strength advantage over other small countries in India, so they abandoned the original Mongolian style of play and began to rely on national strength to equalize
Pushed?"
"Of course. This is exactly why Akbar wanted to integrate sects - otherwise, he would not be able to take advantage of the power that this new empire could provide him."
Gao Pragmatic nodded in approval, but quickly smiled and said: "But on the other hand, if Akbar has become accustomed to this fighting method, but forgets the Mongolian fighting methods of his grandfather's time, it will be a big problem for us.
So happy."
"Why?" Gao Guoyan was a little confused: "Didn't you just say that you also like to push all the way? If we push all the way, then we are fighting from southern Xinjiang to India. From a logistical point of view, this is a long way.
It would be more advantageous for them to fight locally."
It is true that fighting is not Gao Guoyan's major, but he has been in charge of finances over the years. He knows very well how much money Jinghua has spent on previous battles, and the financial and logistical pressures endured by each battle, so he said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
From a logistical point of view.
However, Gao Pragmatic just smiled and seemed not to want to answer the question personally. Instead, he turned his attention to Huang Zhiting, who had not spoken for a long time.
Huang Zhiting felt Gao's pragmatic eyes and knew that the master wanted to answer by himself, so she smiled slightly and said: "Three uncles don't know something. The master's command of the army may be said to be nine percent correct and one percent strange. If I were to command this
A battle would most likely require a long period of preparation in southern Xinjiang, followed by an overwhelming overwhelming force, forcing Akbar to personally lead the main force of the army to an execution somewhere in the Ganges Plain, and then the outcome would be decided in one battle.
However, the person directing this battle now is not the master, but the secretary-general. The two most famous battles of the secretary-general's early years must also be remembered by the third uncle: one was when I led the troops to fight against Naresuan, the secretary-general led the surprise troops
Suddenly we arrived at the rear of Naresuan's troops. She and I attacked from both sides, but the troops of Naari's troops could not look at each other, so they were defeated and killed, and Siam was settled.
Another time, she sent troops to the east of Siam to suppress the rebellion. She first moved south, but then borrowed the power of the Nanyang Fleet to sail straight to the east of Siam by sea. The magic soldiers descended on the thieves' nest from the sky and defeated them in one go.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It can be seen that the secretary-general uses troops differently from the master. She prefers to use speed and terrain to achieve a sudden attack on the enemy's main force to defeat the enemy.
.So if Akbar...or in other words, the Mughal Empire's army is marching in such a dragging-down style, then it may be full of flaws for the Secretary-General, which is perfect for her to show off her strengths.
"
"Oh, that's it..." Gao Guoyan nodded repeatedly, and then said happily: "If that's the case, I'll be much more relaxed. I hope Yuan'er and the Secretary-General can save me some time this time, hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed. After Gao Pingshi laughed, he said: "Don't think so far ahead. Didn't you just say that Akbar went to the Deccan Plateau to conquer the south? It's hard to say whether Bangladesh will send troops or not.
"
These words silenced everyone, but Gao Qishang noticed that Gao Qi seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he asked, "If Yu Fu has something to say, just say it."
"Yes, Fourth Uncle." Gao Qi responded: "Actually, if we want Bangladesh to send troops, we still have a way."
Gao Pingshi's heart moved, thinking that as Gao Qi was the intelligence secretary, the methods he would subconsciously think of might be related to intelligence first, so...
"You mean to reveal some false information to Prince Daniyar?" Gao pragmatically asked.
"My fourth uncle is wise, and this is exactly what my nephew means!" Gao Qi saw Gao Pragmatic and thought of this. He suddenly became more confident and said with high spirits: "Now we have a lot of detailed works in India, and almost all of them are
They have different official statuses, and most of them are businessmen. Some of these people have become local celebrities in Bangladesh. Although they are not top-notch, they can still talk to many powerful people.
Since we have such a foundation, my nephew thinks we can make use of it. For example, we can first 'help' the Kingdom of Arakan, proving that the southern Xinjiang military dispatch will not stop at Arakan, but will definitely continue to advance westward until
Take Dhaka [Note: Dhaka was the capital of Bangladesh at this time], and then occupy the entire Bangladesh region.
We can even further spread the news and say that the reason why Southern Xinjiang wants to capture the entire Bangladesh is because Bangladesh is located on the plain where the Ganges River flows into the sea, which is beneficial to agriculture and food. At the same time, the river network is crisscrossed, which makes it convenient for our Southern Xinjiang navy to operate here.
Assist in defense.
Once we capture Bengal, it will be our bridgehead from southern Xinjiang into India. Using this as a base to plot India will be like how my fourth uncle used Annan as a base to spy on southern Xinjiang. If the situation is unfavorable, I have food and danger, so I can safely defend it.
; If the situation is favorable and I have food and soldiers, I will naturally send my troops to the west!
When news like this spreads, Nadaniyar, if he is still a little vigilant, will definitely feel deeply uneasy, and then seriously consider whether to accept Arakan's request for help, and take the initiative to send troops to Arakan to attack our army outside his jurisdiction.
At this time, my nephew thought that the only thing Daniyar had to worry about was the strength of the army. To put it more clearly, he was worried that our army had too many troops, and he was worried about his father Akbar's expedition to the south of the Deccan.
, must have taken away part of the Bangladeshi garrison, so they will be worried about insufficient troops when they take the initiative to send troops.
However, my nephew thought that it would be easy to handle at this time, so he resorted to the old method of spreading false news locally, saying that we did not send many troops here in southern Xinjiang..."
"Huh?" Gao Wuzheng said in surprise: "Yu, wait a minute. Just now you said that we would use our army to march into Dhaka to intimidate Daniyar, so that he would have to consider sending troops overseas. Now you are saying that you want to publicize the lack of strength of our army.
More...isn't this contradictory? If our army does not have many troops, how can we be so confident and say that we are going to march into Dhaka? If our army really wants to march into Dhaka, how can we say that our army does not have many troops?"
Gao Qi smiled and said: "Uncle Eleven, this is easy to handle. Our army's long-term goal is to march into Dhaka, which is no problem, but our army is not necessarily going to Dhaka from the beginning! Our'
The goal may be to capture Arakan first, and then wait and see the situation. If you feel that the defense of Bengal is empty, mobilize a large army to take advantage of the situation and seize it in one fell swoop; if you feel that the city of Bengal is strong and well-armed, then stop rushing into troops first and instead hoard food and grass in Arakan.
Baggage, prepare to attack again next year... Doesn’t this make sense?”
Gao Wuzheng felt that it made sense and nodded: "Well, in this case... it is feasible. If I were Daniyar, I would think about it carefully after hearing such a plan. Then, as you said,
As long as you are still a little alert, you can't ignore it, you have to react.
Either, take the initiative to send troops, take advantage of the fact that our army in Arakan only has a small number of elites, and the foothold is not stable, and go to fight first, it is best to give Southern Xinjiang a show of strength; or, then you can only report to his father immediately
Akbar, please ask his father to stop the southern expedition as soon as possible and transfer the main force eastward to Bangladesh to prepare to meet our southern Xinjiang army."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Then there is only one problem now: what if this Daniyar is a coward, even if you convince him of all the news, he will still be in the end.
If you decide to only report to Akbar but refuse to send troops yourself, then... what can you do?"
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand at this time and said: "Then we should analyze the current situation Danial is facing to judge what choice he will make when faced with this news."
Facing Gao Qi, Gao Wuzheng, as an uncle and elder, could question him at any time, but it was different when facing Gao Pragmatic. He could only lower his head slightly and said: "Brother, please give me some advice."
Gao pragmatically said: "As far as we know, Akbar has three sons. The eldest son Salim is currently sitting in the rear; the second son Murad, the current intelligence has not stated his location, but from my point of view, since he is Ah
Akbar’s beloved son should be among Akbar’s southern army at this moment; his third son Daniyar is currently the Governor of Bengal and is based in Dhaka.”
After a pause, he continued: "Judging from this arrangement, Akbar has his own purpose. Leaving Salim behind seems a bit like a prince supervising the country, but in fact it is not. In fact, it cuts off Salim.
The direct connection between Lim and the generals in the army is to suppress Salim's expansion of power.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The second son Murad was taken with him. On the one hand, Akbar hoped that he would achieve military success and cultivate his reputation; on the other hand, he also hoped that he could communicate with the senior generals in the army.
Build good relationships and cultivate your own power.
As for Daniyar, we still don’t know where he stands in the matter of taking over the throne - I mean, does Daniyar side with his eldest brother Salim, or with his second brother Murad?
On the other hand, even... it is possible that he seems to be neutral, but in fact he is waiting for a snipe and a clam to compete for the fishermen's profit?"
Gao Wuzheng saw that Gao Pingshi stopped talking at this point and couldn't help but said: "This situation... always reminds me of the relationship between the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji in the early Tang Dynasty. However, currently, Mulla
I'm afraid De doesn't have the same military merit and prestige as Li Shimin, right? As for power, I think the gap should be even greater."
Gao Qi thought thoughtfully and said: "Based on the information currently available, Daniyar seems more likely to want to choose the third possibility that my fourth uncle just mentioned."
"How do you say this?" Gao Wuzheng asked immediately.
Gao Qi replied: "One thing proves that this man was appointed governor of Bengal. He took the initiative to invite his father Akbar."
When he said this, Gao Pragmatic laughed and said: "Then there is no need to worry too much. After hearing those false news, he will definitely send troops to Arakan."
