The fleet arrived in Madras at the end of June, and did not even enter Penang, the main city in the South Ocean of the Empire, but the news received was shocking.

The Mughal dynasty collapsed so quickly that it exceeded Shen Jing's expectations. More than 60% of the territory had fallen, most of which were the Deccan Plateau, and they were completely at a disadvantage in geographical location. A large number of Mughal nobles surrendered to the Hindustan Empire, and there were endless counterattacks. Aurangzeb, known as the conquerors of the world, probably because he was old and had lost his former spirit, had already run away and fled to Madras by boat, leaving only his son to lead the whole country to deal with the attack.

Fortunately, because the weather was hot, the army of the Hindustan Empire did not fully attack the Ganges basin, but had formed three sides of encirclement.

More precise news is that more than 70,000 elite troops of the Hindustan Empire, led by Emperor Li Jundu, besieged the coastal city of Madras.

The city was renamed Sinai in later generations and was the headquarters of the British East India Company in the 17th century. Eight years ago, after the empire declared war on Britain, all British colonies east of the Cape of Good Hope were accepted by the empire, and even the British East India Company collapsed. Except for a few colonies located in Hindustan, which belonged to Li Jundu, the rest became the territory of the empire.

After the war broke out, the Imperial Indian Ocean Command quickly mobilized troops to Madras. There were already three brigades of marines and reinforced artillery units here. The combat troops alone exceeded 25,000, and more than 7,000 soldiers from the Mughal Empire who retreated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pursue the Mughal army, the Indian army launched a tentative attack on Madras, but suffered heavy blows. Although the elite army of the Hindustan Empire was more advanced than the army of some European countries and had all become flintlocks, it was not enough to see the Marines equipped with rifled guns and rifled guns. The Marines did not show up at all. Just four kilometers away, they used grenades to smash the line infantry of the Hindustan Empire, and killed more than a thousand people in one hour.

After that, the two sides contacted each other. One side of India said it was a misunderstanding. He didn't know that Madras was an imperial colony and thought it was a city of the Mughal Empire. The other side of the empire said it was a mistaken attack, but it thought it was a nearby thief attack, so it launched a shelling without confirmation. The two sides maintained temporary peace until Li Jundu personally besieged the city.

After Li Mingxun and his son arrived, they praised the defender. This conflict did not break the relationship between the two sides, but instead made the other party realize the strength of the imperial army and was very beneficial to the subsequent diplomatic contacts.

The father and son had no contact with Aurangzebu's several requests, especially Li Mingxun. In the pre-imperial era, he sent envoys to contact Aurangzebu's Mughal Empire. At that time, Aurangzebu was the lord of the subcontinent and was disdainful of the olive branches that Li Mingxun had given, and even became furious because of the empire's expansion in the Nanyang Tianfang Sect region.

As for Li Junwei, he didn't want to see Aurangzebu. If it weren't for Li Junwei, Aurangzebu would still be the lord of the subcontinent now.

"It's strange, very strange." Li Junwei walked into his father's bedroom and said to him: "The people I sent only brought back the letter from my elder brother, and it was not a written letter. I didn't see the elder brother, but only saw that brat Li Zhaoyi. He is a general in the elder brother's army, and the whole army only followed his leader."

Li Mingxun opened the letter and read it, and found that it was just a letter of greetings. With just a few strokes, it did not involve any important situations. Li Mingxun also found it strange that even if his eldest son was unwilling to take risks and came to Madras to meet, he should invite himself to the other party's camp. His father and brother came from thousands of miles away. It is really unreasonable to be so negligent.

"Is the boss not in the camp at all? He went to the north to plan for the next round of attack?"

Li Junwei shook his head: "No, I have received conclusive news. The army in the north has already had infectious diseases due to humidity and heat, and even the military camp in front of Madras. Infectious diseases of this scale are natural even if they withdraw troops."

"Can it be a trick?" Li Mingxun asked.

Li Junwei thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and decided to explore again. In the next half month, Li Junwei even took the initiative to go to the Indian Army camp, but he still did not see his elder brother Li Jundu, but the situation in the subcontinent turned 180 degrees.

The embassy of Agra, the representative office of Goa and Penang successively received letters from the Hindustan State, expressing their willingness to accept mediation from the Empire's Supreme Emperor and achieve a truce with the Mughal Empire. At the same time, Li Mingxun and Aurangzeb of Madras also received the same diplomatic documents. However, the problem is that because they did not meet Li Jundu, Li Mingxun and his son have not formally proposed mediation. The two of them were planning to talk about family affection first and then state affairs. The news suddenly came. The father and son thought that the other party had made some decisions privately. After arguing, they asked the princess Li Junfu if she had done something secretly. Li Junfu shouted that she was never involved in government affairs. This time she went to sea, she was just caring about taking care of her father's diet and daily life.

Li Mingxun directly asked the envoy to see his son Li Jundu, but this time the envoy took out Li Jundu's handwritten letter, saying that he had to first make a truce negotiation first, and then get a result, and then a father and son meet. Moreover, he did not meet in Madras, but to meet in Agra.

This made Li Mingxun and his son confused again, not knowing what they were doing, but what they were sure of was that Li Jundu had returned to Agra, and the coach who stayed on the front line was Li Zhaoyi, and even the armistice negotiations were responsible.

Although it is a confusing thing, negotiations still need to be negotiated. After all, achieving a ceasefire and peace was originally the demand of the empire. I originally wanted to fight again and again, but now I just need to fight, so why not do it?

The representatives of the Hindustan Empire became proud because of their victory, but when both sides sat at the negotiating table, the empire gained the upper hand.

"Sun Zai, tell me, what benefits the boss wants?" Li Mingxun asked casually, sucking a cigarette.

Li Zhaoyi, who represented a country, came to negotiate with great courage. When he saw the other party's representative, he immediately became two generations shorter and was speechless in an instant. As a result, Li Junwei said: "Son, don't be separated. They are all their own family members. Open the skylight and speak loudly."

A grandson and a son smashed each other, and the name of India was instantly depressed. The loss of seniority was a mute loss, and he had to eat it no matter how much, but in terms of actual interests, Li Zhaoyi had no intention of concession. He spoke and walked away from the entire Deccan Plateau, and 55% of the land in the Mughal Empire was gone.

Li Zhaoyi thought he had asked for a price everywhere and the other party had to pay back the money. Unexpectedly, the two men and women agreed directly, without even hesitation.

As for Aurangzeb's abdication, replaced him with a young emperor, paid tribute to Hindustan, sent him to send protons, etc., they all agreed. Without asking Aurangzeb's opinion, the empire agreed to everything.

In Li Junwei's view, the first principle is to achieve a practical and rapid truce. As long as the Mughal Empire is still there and maintains the Ganges basin as the core area, the balance of power on the continent will not change. The current war failure was caused by the empire being deceived by the Hindustan strategy. There will be no such thing again. As long as the truce is completed, the empire will help the Mughal Empire to train an army that is more advanced than the Hindustan Empire, and then take back the lost next time.

Until the end of the negotiations, Li Mingxun and his son didn't know why Li Jundu made such a decision.

Logically speaking, the Indian army should fight another to strive to occupy more land, earn some weight at the negotiating table, and at least until the main army of the empire arrived.

However, the results of the peace talks were conveyed to the country, which also caused a stir. The Nanyang region saw a relatively large rebound, believing that this was the empire's concession and the royal family betrayed the national interests. In fact, these are just some gimmicks. What they really worry about is the damage to interests, because the Mughal Empire lost more than half of its territory and 30% of its people, and the Mughal Empire was more open to the South Ocean than the Hindustan Empire.

In Shenjing, there was a lot of praise, because the Hindustan Empire has also been opening up to the outside world in recent years, especially the construction of railways, ports, and machinery that introduces steam-powered. Many orders were purchased from the empire. There was no war between the two countries, so these commercial activities could continue and would not be terminated due to tension in relations and interruption of capital chains.

If a war breaks out, based on the principle of nearby procurement of military resources, it is not difficult to understand why the public opinion environment in Nanyang is relatively poor.

On July 17, less than twenty days after Li Mingxun arrived in Madras, the peace talks were announced to end. Aurangzebu refused to admit the result of the peace talks and asked to continue the battle, but no one paid attention to him. When he led his confidants back to the capital, the dynasty had been changed, and the desolate nobles did not want to continue the battle. Before Aurangzebu arrived, he immediately supported a young prince with a study abroad resume ascended the throne. In order to avoid any trouble for Aurangzebu, the new emperor followed Aurangzebu's approach and put him under house arrest in the palace.

At the end of July, the Black Pearl arrived at Diwu Port. Now that the war between the two sides has ended and peace has come, India has prepared a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of Lee Myung-hoon and his son. Lee Zhao-kyu, the prince of the Hindustan Empire and Prime Minister, came to the port to greet him. It was in his mouth that Lee Myung-hoon and his son learned the truth.

This is not Li Jundu's conspiracy, and he had to do all his actions. This hero who had been fighting for forty years, was infected in Madras during the conquest of the Mughal Empire. In his early years, he was overwhelmed by malaria, assassination and other reasons, and he fell ill completely. Four days before Li Mingxun and his son arrived in Madras, Li Jundu secretly returned to Agra and handed over all the front-line military to Li Zhaoyi. It was not that he did not want to see his father and brother, but that he was bedridden and could not meet again.

Moreover, Li Jundu also misunderstood the purpose of Li Mingxun and his son's arrival, believing that this is the empire's ultimatum. If the father and son cannot persuade him, it will be a full-scale war between the two countries. Li Jundu is worried that the war initiated by the empire will not expel himself from the Mughal territory, but will destroy the empire he founded, and at least complete the dynasty change.

In addition, the epidemic in the army was rampant, and Li Jundu instructed Li Zhaoyi on the front line to block the news, complete the truce as soon as possible, and maximize the interests. In fact, he also did it. If the empire knew that he was unhealthy, he would definitely not have a truce easily.

But now, it's too late.

"My father was very sick. He thought it was the time of the army. But after returning to Agra, he did not find any infectious disease. He just kept having a fever and his situation became worse day by day. A month ago, when he heard that his grandfather and his third uncle arrived, he was very happy. He could walk at one time, but now he is bedridden again.

The imperial doctor couldn't find anything." Li Zhaogui said.

Li Mingxun, who was about to have a good fight with his eldest son, was no longer angry at this time and cursed: "What do those quack doctors know, not voodoo warlocks. This boss is addicted to being an emperor..."

"All of them are serious doctors..." said Lee Zhaogui.

When Lee Zhaokyu and his mother Shen Yourong came from Shin Kyung, they brought a group of doctors. In the years since, the Royal Hospital was established in Agra, and often communicated with Penang and Shin Kyung. Every year, some people were sent to study in the empire, which also received the support of Li Junwei. In other words, the imperial doctors here are no worse than Shin Kyung.

No matter how Li Mingxun's time travel has driven the development of the world, his technology is also much worse. At least some of the diseases that people know about later generations are still in a state of fog in this era.

In fact, the progress of medical technology is still limited, which is incomparable to the progress of industrial technologies such as steam engines.

Li Junwei held Li Zhaogui's hand and asked, "I'll just ask you, can my brother hold on this time?"

Lee Zhaogui shook his head, his eyes turned red, and he didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "My mother is already preparing for her funeral. If the peace negotiations had not been completed, I would have called Shin Kyoto long ago."

"What's the funeral?" Li Junwei asked.

Li Zhaogui said a few things, it was all funeral matters. Li Junwei was furious: "Bastard, stupid! What kind of funeral can be more important than your succession? The army is now in Zhaoyi's hands, and his father prefers him. Now he is confused. What if the throne is passed to him?"

"If this is the case, the child has nothing to say. Zhaoyi wins the hearts of his father and is even more close than my own son." Li Zhaogui said softly.
