After Fazo agreed to Amar's request, Zhao Mingde's work in the Suez region was successfully completed and he was able to return to China. The Suez region did not require a senior official and was directly responsible for Pei Yuanqi from the Xijin region. Zhao Mingde's work was recognized by the senior officials of the empire, so that the emperor asked his ship to take Zhao Mingde back to China.

In the second half of the thirty-fourth year of the empire, Augustus became the king of the Politic Federation as he wished.

Forty thousand Polish nobles gathered in Krakow, the Kingdom of Poland to elect the Polish king. The two most competitive candidates, one is Augustus from Saxony, who spent 40 million Taylors on the Polish throne. In order to cater to the religious atmosphere of Poland, he converted to Catholicism. For this reason, his wife separated from him and lost the identity of the religious head of the Protestant vassal states in Germany. He had to appoint a duke as chairman of the religious congress, and in this matter, he was challenged by the two major forces of Prussia and Hannover.

Because of China's support, Augustus became the chief candidate thirty-four years after entering the empire, and the other was Prince Conte, the prince of France. He was suspicious of Louis XIV in France. Louis XIV invested to run for the King of Poland, and he also had the intention to drive him out of the French decision-making level. But Conte himself was not concerned about this. He had only two destinies. One was to really become the titular king of Poland, and the second was to fail the election and return to France to be Louis XIV's licking dog. As a result, as long as he put down his figure and became a licking dog, he would still be valued.

But no one expected that a dramatic scene would appear during the selection of kings in Krakow.

Two Catholic bishops announced completely different results after the vote count. One announced Augustus was elected, and the other announced Prince Conte's election. For a time, the Polish nobles quarreled.

In the end, Augustus ended the argument with a bold manner. He set out from Saxony and led the eight thousand elite Saxony army to Krakow. His helper, Zelenko from China, also led his army from the Black Sea, sailed along the Dnieper River and quickly brought the four thousand troops to Krakow.

Prince Conte, who was indifferent, only brought a few entourages to arrive. When he saw Augustus mobilizing all his troops, he accepted Augustus as the king of Poland, who was not very interested.

Therefore, Augustus held a coronation ceremony in Krakow, and his official title became: Augustus II, the king of Poland who was blessed by God, the great duke of Lithuania, Lusenia, Prussia, Masovia, Samoghija, Livonia, Smolensk, Kiev, Sevilla, and Chernigov, as well as the hereditary duke, the electorate of Saxony.

At the coronation ceremony, in front of the envoys of European countries, Augustus announced: I want to govern Poland into a country that flourishes and can enjoy the respect of neighbors. This declaration undoubtedly ignited the fuse of conflicts in countries around the Baltic Sea.

The Elector of Saxony became the head of the Politics, which had a huge impact on the geopolitics of Europe, and almost all countries paid attention to it. However, for the empire, the importance of this matter was second, because on the distant South Asian subcontinent, an event with a more important and far-reaching impact on the empire occurred - the Hindustan Empire attacked the Mughal dynasty with all its might.

The war that took place in the empire in 34 and 6 was called the Fifth Continental War. The two sides had fought three times before. Except for the first time, Li Jundu led his army to capture the Indus River Basin and the northern part of the Deccan Plateau and established the empire, the three subsequent times did not achieve the purpose of destroying the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire took the Ganges Basin as the core and fought with the Hindustan Empire on the Deccan Plateau for more than ten years. With the support of the empire, it maintained the balance of power in the subcontinent.

When the two major countries were facing each other, several small countries such as Marata and Gordacon, located south of the Deccan Plateau, jointly established the Deccan Alliance, becoming an important third-party force on the subcontinent and the closest force to the empire.

This subcontinental war exceeded expectations from the beginning. No one expected that a large-scale war would take place in the thirty-four years of the empire, nor did he expect that an attack would be launched in the hottest summer of the subcontinent. You should know that in the previous few times, each defeat was because the soldiers in the Indus River Basin and the nobles from the grassland could not bear the humid and hot climate of the Ganges River Basin.

More importantly, since the thirty-two years of the empire, the Hindustan Empire has always shown harmless appearance of humans and animals.

After King Yu privately dispatched troops to participate in the internal affairs of Hindustan, the imperial royal family and the Indian royal family became closer, and the cooperation between the two countries reached a new level.

India increased port trading and sent procurement teams to Shin Kyung, Penang and other places to purchase on a large scale. From mining equipment to steel plants, the procurement amount was astonishing. It even directly held a bid in Shin Kyung, contracting the railway from the Indian capital Agra to the port city of Diu to the empire's construction company. These actions almost spent all the fiscal revenue of the Hindustan Empire in recent years.

In order to raise funds, Li Junduo increased revenue and reduced expenses. He first increased taxes on a large scale, then borrowed money from the empire, and later even cut a batch of troops, reducing the standing army from 350,000 to 280,000.

Such large-scale economic construction actions and disarmament will make people think of pacifism, and Li Jundu also made a similar attitude. He sent envoys to southern countries and the Mughal Empire, and proposed the idea of ​​a complete and complete truce to achieve permanent peace.

Whether it was the several parties involved in the subcontinent or the empire that mediated from it, they all felt Li Jundu's sincerity. Many people speculated that perhaps it was because of the assassination and coup that occurred in the 30th year of the empire that Li Jundu's health became worse, which forced him to consider the funeral after his death.

However, no one expected that this was the superficial work that Li Jundu did, using a trick to hide the truth.

At the beginning of the 34th year of the empire, there was a rumor that the relationship between India and Persia was tense. There was friction between the two sides at the border, and it was also reported that the Indy finances were tight again, and even the salaries of officials and employees were released, and they began to borrow money from the Portuguese in Goa. However, who would have thought that in June of the empire, the Hindustan Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Mughal Empire.

Li Jundu took advantage of the contradictions within the Mughal Empire and successfully opened up the road to progress.

The current Mughal Emperor is still Aurangzeb, the guy who is known as the conqueror of the world. Once upon a time, he also wanted to launch a counterattack and regain the dominance of the subcontinent, but as he grew older, he became increasingly unable to do so.

Aurangzeb repeatedly hesitated when choosing an heir, giving Hindustan a chance. Aurangzeb was already brutal and bloody. Although he was over 70 years old, his sons were very young. In the early years, Aurangzeb cultivated two sons who had made contributions to the expansion of the Hindustan Empire, and gave them real military power and resisted the attack from the north on the Deccan Plateau. However, over the years, Aurangzeb, who had once arrogant, realized that the survival of the Mughal Empire was not whether the successor was a wise ruler, but more importantly, whether he could get the support of the empire.

Without military supplies from China, the Mughal Empire would lose its military and technological advantages. Without trade with China, there would be problems with the Mughal tax revenue. Without China's mediation, the Deccan Alliance would not cooperate strategically. Even Myanmar behind it would be stabbed.

Therefore, in recent years, Aurangzeb has become more and more popular with a son who studies in Penang and speaks fluent Chinese, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of several older sons.

One of the simple-minded and ambitious sons contacted Li Jundu and asked him to support him as the emperor of the Mughal Empire. Of course, this request would not have any good result, but this letter was controlled by Li Jundu to threaten him. With Aurangzeb's cruel personality, once he knew about this, he would definitely be solved by violence. It was this son who opened the door for Li Jundu to enter the Ganges basin.

Shenjing Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The imperial front meeting is being held. In addition to the cabinet, the Zhongting, the two princes, and the Navy and the Army, the latest map has been unfolded, and the bright red arrows have cut the Ganges basin in half.

"It seems that the situation is very critical, and this is news fifteen days ago." Before the meeting officially began, a group of former ministers had already begun to discuss.

Thanks to technological progress, the communication of front-line intelligence messages has been much faster. The notification ships from India can drive to the empire at full speed without supply. It only takes fourteen days to arrive in Guangzhou. Now Guangzhou has wired telegrams to Shenjing, so the time difference is only fifteen days, which is much faster than the time difference in the past two months.

Zhao Wenting walked to the security director Li Zhaorui and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think of the situation?"

Li Zhaorui frowned: "It's not optimistic."

"But the main force of the Mughal Empire has retreated, and the losses are not big." Although Zhao Wenting had the opportunity to go to the Americas and serve in front of the army, he was not from the army, so he did not have a deep understanding of the military.

"Is that a retreat? That's a retreat." Li Zhaorui said.

"General Zhao, what do you think?" Zhao Wenting asked Zhao Mingde again.

Zhao Mingde is Zhao Wenting's deputy now. Logically speaking, Zhao Mingde, who had long retired from the navy, should be a civil servant, but this is the case in the imperial officialdom. Officials from the military are proud of this. Whether it is cabinet officials or the veterans in the Senate, they like to be called generals.

Zhao Mingde shook his head and said, "It's not optimistic. The lower officials feel that the Mughal Empire can't last for a long time."

"How could it be?"

A few people gathered around, and everyone felt incredible. Although Zhao Mingde had always been part of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, he had worked in Suez for many years and knew much about India.

"General Zhao, you just came back from Suez and don't understand the situation. You can attend the imperial meeting. Don't make a good decision." Zhao Wenting reminded Zhao Mingde.

Zhao Mingde said: "It is because Xiaguan just came back from Suez that he understands the situation."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhao Mingde explained that he had contacted many Indians in Port Suez, especially since October 1992, there were quite a few Indians who came to the Suez region, especially India, with a large population of Tianfang Cult. Many of these people went to the holy land of Mecca to make pilgrimage. For the convenience of tax collection and management, even if Port Suez is further north than Mecca, the Ottoman Empire also required pilgrims from South Asia and South Asia to go to Port Suez first.

Many of these people did not leave after coming. Rather than coming to pilgrimage, they were political refuge or escape.

At the beginning, it was the officials of the Ottoman Empire who were responsible for managing these people. By chance, the Ottoman officials asked Zhao Mingde to send some people to assist in the work, at least as a translator.

Zhao Mingde thought that the Ottomans knew that he had served in the Indian Ocean Fleet and knew more about the Indians, so he made this request. Later he found out that it was because a large number of Indians came to apply to settle in the Suez region, and many of these people could speak Chinese.

"Aren't Indians who speak Chinese, shouldn't they be businessmen?" said the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Zhao Mingde smiled and said, "No, Lord Chen. In order to resist the army of the great prince, all the new firearms established by the Mughal Empire were trained and equipped according to the imperial standards, and the Marine Corps was responsible for this. Some of the officers were studied at the Naval Academy in Penang, while the grassroots officers were taught by the Marine Corps. Therefore, these people learned Chinese. I heard that until now, in the new firearms of the Mughal Empire, all the commands and military orders were in Chinese."

The Chancellor of the Finance Department said: "It seems that a major purge has indeed occurred, but the problem should not be big. So far, nearly two years have passed, and the officers have definitely added it."

"Haha, Lord Chen, I have lived in a new environment since I was a child and I don't know much about the feudal dynasty." Zhao Wenting joked.

Zhao Wenting was born in the late Ming Dynasty, raised in the Qing Dynasty, and matured in the imperial system. The young Minister of Finance Chen Qiyu was born in Taipei in the pre-imperial era and had never been in the old system for a day.

If it is the Imperial Army, it can indeed fill in the vacant officers in two years, at most it is lack of experience. After all, many new students will graduate from military academy every year.
