Chapter 362 The Shock of the Mughal Empire
"Yes, Your Majesty, look here, there is feces and urine everywhere, it stinks."
"Are these countries so unhygienic?
Li Taiheng also said with his nose wrinkled.
"Haha, this is their tradition. You will get used to it in the future."
Ning Quan said with a wry smile.
"Tradition? Is it like this throughout the Mughal Empire?"
Li Taiheng said in surprise.
"Yeah, that's all."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find General Gao Xiang first, and then quickly deploy our defenses. I still have to rush back to Malacca."
Ning Quan shook his head and said.
"promise!"
Li Taiheng nodded upon hearing this.
Then the two of them began to look for General Gao Xiang in Mumbai City.
"Your Majesty, General Gao has occupied the City Lord's Mansion. Please move!"
As the two were looking for someone, a servant came over and said respectfully.
“Well, lead the way!”
Ning Quan ordered.
A moment later, Ning Quan, led by the guards, arrived at the Mumbai City Lord's Mansion.
This is a large-scale building, magnificent and splendid.
"Your Majesty, I, Gao Xiang, salute you. Long live the Emperor!"
Seeing Ning Quan coming, Gao Xiang hurried out to greet him
"Be flat!"
Ning Quan said lightly.
Then, accompanied by Gao Xiang, he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon, the two of them sat down.
"General Gao, Mumbai will be handed over to you from now on."
"Your mission is twofold. One is to defend the city of Mumbai, and the other is to proactively attack the Mughal heartland and create as much chaos as possible."
Ning Quan said seriously.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to complete the task."
After hearing Ning Quan's words, Gao Xiang replied respectfully.
"Well, I hope you can satisfy me."
"Come with me, we are going to find a strategic location where I will place a coastal defense gun to ensure the safety of Mumbai."
Then Ning Quan stood up and walked out.
"According to the order!"
Although Gao Xiang was puzzled, he still spoke respectfully.
But a moment later, Ning Quan arrived at a high ground in the northwest corner of the city.
The view here is excellent, overlooking the entire Mumbai Port, and can effectively attack local ships.
"Your Majesty, what is a coastal artillery?"
Gao Xiang asked doubtfully.
"Haha, you'll know later."
Ning Quan said mysteriously.
Then he waved his hand, and a coastal defense gun suddenly appeared in front of Gao Xiang.
Gao Xiang's eyes lit up as he looked at the huge, dark and ferocious coastal defense gun in front of him.
What kind of cannon was this? It was so huge that it completely overturned his understanding.
"General Gao, this coastal defense gun of mine is extremely powerful, with a range of fifty miles. No warship can withstand a single shell from it."
Ning Quan said arrogantly.
"Sire, with this gun, Bombay will be impregnable."
Gao Xiang said excitedly.
Fifty miles! What a terrifying range! And the most important thing is that the power is also great.
"Okay, with this cannon, I feel relieved."
"Xu Xin, you guys come here."
Ning Quan nodded, then called out to Xu Xin and the others who were following behind him.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Xu Xin, I appoint you as the artillery commander, responsible for the coastal defense artillery."
Ning Quan pointed at Xu Xin and said.
With coastal defense guns, of course there needs to be someone to operate them.
Xu Xin and others were the gunners trained by Ning Quan before.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your mission!"
Xu Xin bowed and spoke respectfully.
"Ah, very good."
"General Gao, these guys are the gunners. They will be under your command from now on."
After hearing Xu Xin's words, Ning Quan spoke to Gao Xiang again.
"I will obey your orders!"
Gao Xiang said with a fist clasped.
"Okay, let's go to the port."
"Hurry up and transfer the supplies. The fleet must return as soon as possible."
Then, Ning Quan spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Ning Quan's words, everyone responded.
Then we headed towards the port of Mumbai.
At this time, the port of Mumbai had been completely occupied, and countless cargo ships were unloading.
The docks were filled with piles of cargo.
"Supplies must be put into storage as soon as possible and strictly guarded. No losses are allowed."
"Going forward, you must strive to be self-sufficient and not always rely on rear transportation. Do you understand?"
Standing on the steps of the harbor, Ning Quan said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember this!"
After hearing Ning Quan's instructions, Gao Xiang immediately obeyed the order.
"Okay, go back to your own business!"
After seeing that everything was arranged properly, Ning Quan spoke.
After saying this, he slowly left surrounded by a group of people.
As for Gao Xiang, he stayed where he was and continued to supervise the unloading of supplies.
.........
Two days later, all the supplies were unloaded.
Ning Quan immediately led the fleet back.
Because the ships were empty, the return voyage was very fast and they arrived in Malacca in just half a month.
At this time, the European Combined Fleet was also crossing the Gulf of Aden and heading towards Malacca.
In terms of time, we will reach Malacca in twenty days.
After Ning Quan came back, he immediately began preparing for battle.
This battle is a decisive one, Ning Quan must win.
If the Combined Fleet is destroyed in one fell swoop, European countries will not be able to recover their strength for at least five years.
He could also use this time to conquer the Mughals and the entire South Seas.
In this way, the entire Eastern Continent was in Ning Quan's hands.
Once this goal is achieved, Ning Quan can turn his attention to Persia, the Arab Empire, and even the whole of Europe to realize his dream of great unification.
Thinking of this, Ning Quan couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.
This is an unprecedented achievement.
Even Genghis Khan can't compare to him.
For a time, Ning Quan's fighting spirit was high and his morale was high.
And just when Ning Quan was full of confidence.
On the other hand, the Mughal Empire fell into chaos.
Daqian's sudden military expedition to occupy Mumbai was undoubtedly a stab in the back of the empire.
This turned the originally stable rear area into the front line of the war.
In addition, there were attacks from the two Daqian armies in the west.
The Mughal Empire was immediately plunged into trouble.
Especially since the two armies that went to meet the enemy suffered successive defeats, the situation of the Mughal Empire became even worse.
In just half a month, not only were two-thirds of the elite troops lost, but nearly one-fifth of the country's territory was also lost.
At this moment, the Daqian army is still advancing, which makes the Mughal emperor furious.
At this time, in the Mughal Palace.
His Majesty the Emperor stood in the hall with a gloomy expression, his eyes constantly scanning the civil and military officials below.
The atmosphere in the court was extremely depressing at this moment.
Everyone felt the emperor's anger.
"My dear ministers, why is no one speaking today? Don't you know how to break the deadlock?"
After a long time, the emperor's cold voice was heard.
"Your Majesty, the best thing to do now is to avoid the attack temporarily and wait for the new recruits to complete their training!"
After the ministers hesitated for a moment, they said it with gritted teeth.
