    Chapter 516: The Fury of the Chinese Empire, the Fury of the Navy (Second)

    "So how far will this war go?"

    Tang Hongsheng had to remind Xiao Mingqian in this way that the other party was a powerful empire. If he was not careful, it would probably cause the Chinese Empire to fall into strife with another rising empire for a long time.

    "Fight until the Mughal Empire recognizes that our colonial points are our territory, and until they dare not to attack us anymore"

    The main reason why the Mughal Empire, like those princes, set their sights on the Chinese Empire¡¯s colonial sites this time was because of the wealth of the Chinese Empire¡¯s colonial sites in India.

    As a support point for the Chinese Empire¡¯s trade in Central Asia and Northeast Africa, the colonial settlements on the west coast of India are still very important.

    But it is precisely because of this that the wealth brought by the ships that pass by these colonial points has made many people jealous. But you must know that Xiao Mingqian has not yet thought about harvesting India's resources and wealth. At most, he uses  India has cheap manpower and a vast market.

    After several years of accumulation, the wealth accumulated by the Chinese Empire in these direct points has made these colonial points more prosperous than other cities in India. The living standards of Indians in the colonial points are also higher than those of Indians in other areas.  much higher

    Indians living in these colonial settlements such as Bombay and Goa, even those at the bottom of the caste system, can live a pretty good life. However, the tough colonial policies of the Chinese Empire made it impossible for the Mughal Empire to  Collect taxes in the colony

    Looking at a lot of wealth without being able to eat, seeing those Vaishyas and Shudras being able to enjoy everything that only the upper castes could enjoy in the past, this makes Indians unbearable.

    Under the instigation of Western countries and with Sun Yat-sen's strong connection, more than a dozen indigenous Indian princes jointly requested the Mughal Emperor Shah?  Jahan sent troops to take back the colonies established by the Chinese Empire in India, at least to cancel the Chinese Empire's right to garrison troops and collect taxes.

    If this was a few hundred years later, it might be considered a war of national rebellion by the whole world, but in this era, this is a war out of greed.

    After detecting the news, the Intelligence Department immediately sent the information back to the country. Before the order from Taipei was issued, the special fleet stationed in the Strait of Malacca first moved into action.

    Shi Yuan first dispatched thirty warships to Ceylon and cruised the east coast of India, intending to put pressure on India so that it would not dare to act rashly

    But it was still too late. The six colonial points were attacked by the Indians at almost the same time. A total of more than 500,000 troops surrounded the six colonial points. Although the navy also stationed warships in those places, only  Five warships can't take care of it at all, let alone the non-stop attacks from Sun's fleet.

    After three days of non-stop attacks, one of the six colonial sites was defeated, and three of them were defeated. As a last resort, all the garrison troops left on merchant ships and gathered in Bombay and Goa to shrink their defenses.

    The Indians sent their most elite elephant army, and Sun's fleet attacked at sea. The last two colonial points were also in danger.

    Fortunately, Shi Yuan's decisive action repelled Sun's sea power at the first time, and at the same time pursued him towards his lair.

    At the same time, the fleet also provided sufficient supplies to the garrison divisions of the two colonial points, allowing them to persist until reinforcements arrived.

    "This time we must deal with the grandson. No matter who it is, even if the emperor comes, his grandson will be dead."

    Shi Yuan was also very angry about this incident. What made him angry was Sun's group. If it weren't for them, the people in the defeated colony would at least be able to escape from the sea.

    But because of them, 3,000 troops were stationed, nearly 1,000 merchants were killed, and the wealth of the colony was plundered. No matter from which point of view, Sun and his group were immediately wiped out.

    "General, Sun and his gang should have been eliminated long ago. I don't know why Your Majesty tolerated them for so long," Shi Yuan's deputy said excitedly.

    "What do you know? Some time ago, our power just extended here. Before we could establish a firm foothold, we wanted to attack Sun's group who arrived a few years before us. That was not wise at all. Moreover, at that time, the empire was engaged in a long land war.  , I don¡¯t want to confront the forces here at the same time.

    "But it's different now. The war is basically over now, and it's time for our navy to start showing its strength."

    These reasons given by Shi Yuan are not very accurate. In fact, there is another reason, which is that Sun escaped far enough.

    In order to avoid being pursued by the Chinese Empire, Sun fled to Iraq with more than forty warships.sphere of influence

    Having said this, I have to admire Sun's methods. Although he was driven from Taiwan to the Southeast Asia by the Chinese Empire, and then to the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, and finally even escaped to the mouth of the Persian Gulf, he was always able to reach an agreement with the local forces, allowing them to  accept him

    After being stationed on the coast of modern Oman, he formed a coexistence agreement with the Iranians on the other side, and even established an alliance to a certain extent.

    The navy of the Chinese Empire, the navy closest to the Indian Ocean, is only in Malacca. The long voyage allows Sun to disrupt the commercial activities of the Chinese Empire in the Indian Ocean.

    By collecting protection fees and robbing disobedient merchant ships, Sun accumulated a large amount of wealth. However, his great insecurity made him unwilling to let the wealth rot in his warehouse. Therefore, after several years of  development, the number of warships in his fleet exceeded one hundred for the first time

    But even so, he did not dare to face the Chinese Empire's navy head-on, because he was still unable to deal with the Chinese Empire's navy's artillery. It only took a dozen or so Chinese Empire's navy to turn the entire fleet into ruins.

    But this time, when Sun learned that the forces of European countries were actively encouraging the Mughal Empire in India to deal with the colonial strongholds of the Chinese Empire, the hatred in Sun's heart burst out again. He took the initiative to find the Mughal Empire and promised to help the Mughal Empire.  The empire blocked the seas of various colonial strongholds, making it impossible for them to escape from the sea

    It was then that a stronghold was defeated and more than a dozen merchant ships were sunk. However, this also completely angered the Chinese Empire and Shi Yuan.

    After receiving the order from Xiao Mingqian, Shi Yuan immediately led most of the warships of the special fleet to Colombo, Ceylon, and actively prepared for the complete elimination of Sun.
