    <div id="tet_c">Some Chinese crew members have gone ashore and are talking to the Portuguese about supplies.

    The sudden appearance of the Hindu rebel army frightened the Portuguese and quickly hid in the castle. The Chinese crew also retreated to the ship in an orderly manner under the cover of the army.

    "Da da da da!"

    Then hundreds of light cavalry appeared, and these light cavalry were too light.  Except for a few officers who wear armor, the rest of the soldiers are all wearing civilian clothes, but their complexion is relatively fair.

    An Indian cavalry composed purely of landowners and yeoman!

    Chhatrapati Sivaji, who was only 4 years old, was not afraid of the Portuguese in the castle at all. He rode around the castle to the pier and asked, "Are you Chinese envoys?"

    This guy spoke Marathi, and no one in the Chinese envoy could understand it.

    Sivaji rode to the castle again, and shouted inside: "Come out, I'll hire him as an interpreter!"

    The Portuguese really came out. After receiving the translation fee, they happily ran to contact the Chinese.

    Both Zhang Ruifeng and Lu Tianxiang were quite curious and felt that the leader of the Indian rebel army was very special, so they stood on the bow of the boat and talked with Sivaji from the air.

    This guy introduced himself with a bang: "My name is Chhatrapati Sivaji, a resister of Mughal bandits, a protector of all Hindus, and all Marathas.

    Later, he was besieged by the Mughal vice king and led his troops, and he sneaked into the city with only a few cronies to assassinate him.  He stabbed the vice king of Mughal and killed the son of the vice king, but he was able to escape safely.  Such behavior caused chaos in the Mughal army, and the Mughal deputy king also lost his mind. Sivaji successfully broke through with the main force in the ensuing battle.

    He will be the founder of the Maratha Empire in India. The territory of the country at its peak will almost unify North India, and it will also occupy a large part of South India. The territory is about half of the South Asian subcontinent (the Mughal Empire was  It¡¯s gone, you can only actually control the palm-sized area).  Later, due to infighting among descendants, the country was dismembered by the British East India Company during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

    When Aurangzeb ruled the Mughals, the main enemy was Sivaji's Hindu army.

    Until the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughals were unable to destroy Shivaji's power.  In turn, Sivaji also collected protection fees from the Mughal governor, used the protection fees to subsidize the finances, and reduced the agricultural tax on the site by one-third.

    To use a metaphor, it is like when Zhao Han was entrenched in Jiangxi, he collected protection money from the governors of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Nanzhi in the Ming Dynasty

    "Long live Hinduism!"

    Sivaji held up his exquisite musket and shouted, and the soldiers under his command cheered up and shouted, stripping away the enemy, which was still the general outbreak of religious and ethnic conflicts in India.  He was born in the Marathi tribe, which belonged to the Indo-European race. Most of them belonged to the third and fourth castes. They were mainly Hindus, and their occupations were low-ranking officers, soldiers, landowners and farmers.  This kind of religious and ethnic composition is a natural rebel group!

    Sivaji fled with troops, and the Marathas joined the army enthusiastically.  Not Charles. If he returns to England to raise troops, the squires will beat him up.

    Just when Charles was inquiring about the situation, the officers in the Chinese mission also approached the Portuguese to learn about the situation.

    The rise of Sivaji is an important news that must be included in the work report.

    During the few days when he docked for supplies, Prince Charles was in the castle like a fish in water.  From civil servants to ordinary soldiers, everyone likes to deal with him, and some Portuguese even took him to visit brothels.

    This guy likes to toss around, and even led more than a dozen Portuguese soldiers to ride a horse for twenty miles to appreciate the local customs of India.  By the way, I saved an Indian girl and came back

    The Indian girl's father, to put it bluntly, is a maharajah, but to put it bluntly, he is only a large town.  Because of her conversion to the Green Church, she was slaughtered by the rebel army. The girl whose family was ruined, starved and fainted on the side of the road. She was almost gang-raped by a group of untouchables. She was believed and associated with Cromwell.

    Cromwell's starting capital was 60 cavalry.

    Sixty country gentry cavalry, some country knights, some rich farmers.  They brought their own horses and weapons, followed Cromwell through life and death, and their fighting will and discipline far surpassed the king's cavalry.  Cromwell's later cavalry unit was based on these sixty cavalry, and all members came from the country gentry class.

    As for Cromwell's infantry, the composition is workers, apprentices and citizens.

    All of them are emerging classes, fighting for their own interests, and their morale is overwhelming when they fight.  You don't even need to pay the military salary, just take care of the food.

    Charles continued to inquire about the heroic achievements of the Datong Army.??Blowing wildly, and finally brought up the battle of Nanjing: "In the previous Ming Dynasty, there were four capitals. One was in Beijing, the second was in Nanjing, the third was in Fengyang, and the fourth was in Zhongxiang. Nanjing is the capital second only to Beijing, and now it is also  I am the capital of the Datong imperial court. The walls of Nanjing are tall and strong, and there are tens of thousands of defenders inside. I only have more than a dozen warships under my command, and hundreds of sailors When I started fighting, I took off my clothes and didn¡¯t bother to wear armor.  The city gate should be opened inside, and I braved the arrow rain to kill seven in and seven out"

    The translator looked weird, and Charles was stunned.
