What everyone basically admits is that Gao Yuan's idea does have a certain probability of success, but things are not that simple.
The Navy is naturally delighted that Gao Yuan suddenly thought of such a clever idea, and at this point, no matter whether it can be successfully implemented in the end, the people in the Navy must remain grateful to Gao Yuan. But the trouble is that the army generals
There are still some knots in my heart.
It’s not surprising that there are knots, because according to Gao Yuan’s idea, although the Army does not have to do a wedding dress for the Navy’s merits, it can safely get its own military merits. However, the corresponding thing is that the Navy picked up a great contribution out of thin air, while the Army
In this achievement, I didn’t even have a role to play in the soy sauce, I just became a spectator.
Not to mention, if there is no navy to intervene, then Dhaka and the whole of Bangladesh should not be the names on our army's merit book in the end? It's good now. Once this matter goes well, I'm afraid it will change in the end.
It became "the army captured Arakan and the navy captured Bengal".
Are you kidding? Although Arakan is close to southern Xinjiang, it should be part of Myanmar from a geographical point of view (the main body of Arakan will be the Rakhine State of Myanmar in later generations, but it does not include Chittagong, which belongs to Bangladesh), but
Regardless of territory area, population, product richness, etc., which one can compare with Bangladesh? Since it cannot compare, then of course the credit cannot compare. Wouldn’t this be a huge loss?
There is a saying in later generations: I am afraid that my brothers will have a hard time, but I am also afraid that my brothers will drive Land Rover. Most people are actually like that. They have neither a vicious side nor a comparison side. Being vicious is natural, and comparison may be the same.
In fact, the army and navy in southern Xinjiang do not have that kind of mentality, or at least they are not similar: everyone knows that the other party can suffer a small loss, otherwise their life will definitely be bad; but at the same time, do not take advantage of the worst of the other party
It's a small bargain, otherwise my heart must be even worse.
Originally, according to the post-war plan of the Western Expedition, the navy really did not give the army a head start, because we had no serious opponents in the South Asian subcontinent, and mainly engaged in transportation work. But now it has gone wrong. First, we launched a surprise attack on Jixiaogang.
Xiao Gong is about to capture Dhaka, and then take over the whole of Bengal by contacting Isa Khan and the Assamese people...They have taken over all the bad things, right?
Yes, although the Army wants to praise it, there is always no reasonable reason for the praise. You can always say that it is more satisfying to see the Navy being proud than to be defeated yourself? It is so true.
As the chief of staff, Nie Tai had the weakest sense of the small situation, and he was the first to think of "a solution." I coughed heavily and said: "The commander-in-chief has an overview of the overall situation and a long-term view. The general is very impressed.
If the local rebels in Bangladesh can be mobilized in this way, and then join forces with neighboring Assam, and cooperate externally and internally, without the Marine Corps as the backbone, there is indeed no small chance that Bangladesh can be conquered.
For example, it is said in mythology that there is no certain god in a certain place and people are looking down upon people throwing stones at each other. We can create a festival where every year we divide into two groups of people and throw stones at each other. Even if a few are killed, it seems that they are showing respect to the gods.
——That’s not modern India anymore. The Indian government also felt that the people there were too outrageous, so they imposed some restrictions. Eventually, more people were beaten to death, especially those who only needed to win a prize and then go to the hospital to lie down in the ICU.
That's fine. There are only a few people who go to lie down, maybe a few dozen every year, and sometimes it can exceed a hundred.
Speaking of which, since Gao Lian said that Gao Pangshi would call this place Calcutta, no one here would care what it was called. In the past, the place could only be called Calcutta - at least after the Marquis changed its name,
It must be called that name.
----------
Everyone was stunned. Gao Lian said "Oh" and thought thoughtfully: "That place... you remember, my father called it 'Calcutta', but you didn't ask about the origin of that name." Everyone was stunned again.
.
Wanting to restrain himself first, Gao Yuan praised him like that first, but waited for the navy to confirm the matter. Before I continued: "Yes, I thought this matter was not a big problem. I just want to know if you would consider it."
arrive."
Di Jing retorted: "The contact with Assam is temporary, but it is not urgent. It is too late to send someone to contact you before you get to Dhaka. After all, the real key ally of your trip is Isa Khan, but Asa
Mu.
Gao Jing, the commander of the Western Expedition Fleet, also stood up at that time, walked to the Kan map and drew it, saying: "Looking at the Kan map, the straight-line distance between Calcutta and Dhaka is about 700 miles away, and because of its
This is a seaport, so you may not consider sending an armed transport ship to pretend to be a merchant ship, and then contact Nie Taiyun to let me launch a resistance earlier."
PS: Make up for the 1K word debt.
Everyone moved their eyes to my face, waiting for me to ask questions. Gao Yuan smiled slightly and asked: "Now that your army has not captured Jixiaogang, how long will it take for the news to reach Dhaka? In my opinion,
Once the news reaches Dhaka, it is extremely unlikely that the Mughal garrison in Dhaka will become vigilant, and it will be difficult to make a surprise attack by then.
In this way, when you get the news about Nie Taiyun, it will be too late to launch a surprise attack on Dhaka by sea. Of course, the news of the capture of Jixiao Port will be sent to Dhaka too early."
Nie Tai immediately frowned and said: "Isa Khan's matter cannot be handled like that, but what about Assam? This state is far northeast of Bangladesh. If you want to contact us, you must either travel through Bangladesh from south to north, or go from Mani on the east side.
We can cross the Poole Mountains. The latter is definitely possible, but the former is a flat and difficult road. God knows how long it will take. I’m afraid the day lilies will be cold by the time we get in touch."
As soon as I said this, everyone was shocked. What did that mean? He wanted to massacre the city? If he did something that did not involve Tianhe, it would be better to let the Marquis know in advance and he would be furious.
As for Assam, whether you look at its territorial location or listen to intelligence reports, it seems that its population is small. Even if there are elite soldiers in the remote countryside, the so-called "elite soldiers" will probably be few. After all, is it like Nie Taiyun?
The strength is weak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I have to say that Xiaojia Yexiao was silently calculating the distance and the speed of the messenger in his heart.
Gao Yuan did not wait for Xiaojia to think carefully, but waited for a moment before continuing: "Everyone, first of all, do you know where Isa Khan is? I am in Dhaka.
, or somewhere in Bangladesh? Do you think I will stay in Dhaka?"
Therefore, you think that you cannot cooperate with Isa Khan to expel the Mughal army from Bengal while taking Dhaka. At this time, you will contact the Assamese to strengthen your strength to deal with the possible attack of the Mughal army.
Counterattack.”
Nie Tai secretly thought that it was wonderful. If we went up like that, I was afraid that things would really happen. I said slowly: "So, how to prevent the news from Jixiao Port from reaching Dhaka prematurely? That is a prerequisite for all the ideas that follow."
Since Nie Tai was talking about "speed", Gao Jing was also talking about speed. I said: "The main force of the fleet cannot wait far away under the sea. As long as it goes to busy sea routes, it will not be discovered. Of course.
, if we are discovered by a stray ship, it won’t be a big deal... Just take us and let us go after the battle is over.
Bangladesh was originally a weak country in India. It once took over almost the entire northern part of India, but was conquered by the Mughals in recent years. Since Nie Taijun is one of the local leaders of Bengal, he has never had any intention of resisting the Mughals. It can be seen that he has
A little, a lot, but not much strength.

As I said this, before I stood up, I pointed my slender pointer at the Kanyu map under the wall, pointing out Jixiaogang, Dhaka, Assam and several other places, and then said: "Please take a look at the distance."
This does not mean that your army must be extremely slow in contacting Isa Khan and the Assamese people. It must be so slow that by the time we take action, the Mughal garrison in Dhaka will still arrive in time to learn that Jixiao Port has been attacked by your army.
News of the capture."
Few people knew about that matter. Gao Lian himself learned about it through the Ministry of Internal Affairs' system in southern Xinjiang, but that kind of news would obviously spread widely. So Nie Tai had to get up and walk to the Kanyu map, pointing at a
Chu Fang opened his mouth and said: "According to the latest news a few days later, Nie Taiyun should be far away."
Gao Jing pondered slightly, and finally said enthusiastically: "If it is really possible, Ji Xiaogang... just don't leave anyone alive."
Furthermore, even if things don't go as planned, with that level of strength, the most we can do is wait until the army takes care of Arakan and then retreat westward to provide support, but in the end we won't be able to win."
Subordinates can criticize and question, so at this time I said "Has the Commander-in-Chief considered it?" instead of "Everyone."
In fact, even if Gao Lian asks, there is a small chance that Low Pragmatism will answer, because Low Pragmatism also knows the origin of the name Calcutta. As I said later, there is nothing very exciting in the history of Indians. It’s not that they have the habit of remembering history. We don’t have it.
There are just various things like long mythological poems, a few of which are passed down by word of mouth, and most of which are recorded.
Everyone followed my hand and pointed towards it. The place name was marked under the Kanyu map: Shao Mori. The location is west of Dhaka and is another seaside port.
What is recorded is not bad, but what is passed down by word of mouth is too reliable. It is either lost or distorted. The first one is almost daring to believe - of course, the Indians themselves dare to believe it, but we are too daring.
Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Shao Moli, you remember that you have seen that name in the book later. It was also a weak country in the Tianzhu region long, long time ago. It was called Danmo Li Di in the Tang Dynasty. According to "Jin Dynasty"
"Book" records that at that time, Faxian (a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, surnamed Gong, Wuyang, Pingyang County, Jin Dynasty, and now Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province), in the seventh year of Yixi (409 years), followed the sea route from Tammoli Di Kingdom and passed through Guangzhou.
