Hai Rufeng didn't know whether there were 10 million followers of Hinduism. Even if there were, so what
Mallika Samantha brought out all the Hindus to put pressure on Hai Rufeng, who couldn't help but smile. He didn't know whether to laugh at the naivety of the charming Princess Samantha, or laugh at her being too naive.
“As far as I know, the Dutch have ruled the Cuttack area for a long time. Now that we have seized this area from the Dutch, according to convention, this area should belong to us.
We hope to make friends with your country. We also respect the beliefs of Hinduism and do not want to become enemies with each other, Princess Samantha, do you understand what I mean?"
I understand. How could I not understand? You just mean you won’t give it to me.
"Admiral Hai, do you know that the place where you live now was once the royal palace of our Otsa. My father was born here. It was only because of the invasion of the Mughal army that we did not have the energy to recapture it.
Even if Admiral Hai does not come, after defeating the Mughal army, we will be able to take Cuttack back from the Dutch invaders ourselves.
Admiral Hai, I solemnly tell you again that this is truly a holy place for our Hindus, a sacred and inviolable place in the hearts of tens of millions of Hindus. If Admiral Hai does not return it to us, I am afraid that all Hindus will not agree, and then countless armies will come over. "
Hai Rufeng finally couldn't help laughing. Although chatting with such a charming and attractive princess was a kind of enjoyment, after hearing what she said, Hai Rufeng couldn't help grinning and showing his white teeth.
"Princess Samantha, it's not that I don't want to return Cuttack to your country, but you know, thousands of our troops came from afar, spent countless money and food, fought several battles, and sacrificed a large number of soldiers. We finally defeated the Dutch here and seized Cuttack from them. If we just give it to your country, I'm afraid my soldiers will not agree."
"Don't worry, Admiral Hai. We have prepared some gifts for you as compensation for your return to Cuttack. Please accept them."
When Marika Samantha said this, she gave a signal to her attendant, who then lifted a box and opened the lid. Suddenly, the room was filled with jewels, as the box was full of gold, silver and treasures.
Hai Rufeng took a quick glance and didn't look at it any more.
Marika Samantha's heart tightened when she saw this. She knew Otsa's situation very well. The Mughal army was winning victory after victory, while the small Hindu countries suffered heavy losses. The situation was a mess, and they were unable to take care of themselves, so how could they threaten the Qin army
Besides, before the Mughal army invaded, they also defeated the Dutch. Now the Qin army easily defeated the Dutch, so their strength is naturally stronger. How can they beat the Qin army
She was just trying to scare Hai Rufeng because the Qin army had just arrived and didn't know the truth. Now Hai Rufeng was not moved by gold, silver and treasures. What should she do
"If Admiral Hai thinks it's too little, we can add a little more. I hope Admiral Hai will consider the face of my tens of millions of Indian believers. Return Cuttack to us, and we won't hurt each other. Isn't that great?"
To be honest, Hai Rufeng admired Marika Samantha's Chinese level. She spoke fluently and sounded better than she sang. Er... Hai Rufeng couldn't help but glance at her again, and the scene of her singing emerged in his mind...
Wow, people say Indians are darker, but I didn’t expect there would be such monsters.
"Money is something outside of one's body. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. To be honest, I am amazed by Princess Samantha's beauty."
"Admiral Hai, what do you mean?"
Marika Samantha also noticed his gaze. In fact, she came this time with the intention of impressing Hai Rufeng with her beauty.
India has always had a good impression of its original dynasty. China is a country of etiquette and is unlikely to be as rude and unreasonable as Westerners.
In addition, the Cuttack region, located in the lower reaches of the Mohanadi River, is the richest area in Otsa. Otsa now has to resist the Mughal army and consumes a large amount of food and grass every day, and is in a difficult situation.
If the wealthy Keta region could be taken back at this time, it would be of great help to Otsa.
Marika Samantha had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but Hai Rufeng just smiled without answering. He picked up the tea and savored it carefully. He was not in a hurry. What was there to be in a hurry for
"Admiral Hai, if you...if you..."
"Princess Samantha, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
Marika Samantha's mind suddenly changed, and she continued, "If Admiral Hai is willing to return Cuttack to us, we will be grateful. Otsa will submit to the Qin Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty."
"Princess Samantha, if you want to become a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty, you must at least be sincere first."
"Admiral Hai, I come here with great sincerity..."
"Okay." Hai Rufeng interrupted her, looking at her with a burning gaze, and said, "Princess Samantha, there is no need to deceive me. Otsa and the coalition forces of various countries have been defeated step by step under the attack of the Mughal army and are on the verge of defeat. This is a well-known fact. Princess Samantha tried her best to cover it up, but she didn't know that the truth would come out.
The Sun Temple in the south of Cuttack is a holy place for Hindus. We are also very clear about this. Our Great Qin is a country of etiquette and has always adhered to the policy of good-neighborliness and friendship. We will not offend others unless they offend us.
We have no intention of invading Otsa, but we took Cuttack from the Dutch at the cost of many lives. How can we give it up just because of the princess' words? "
Marika Samantha was furious. You sacrificed many soldiers? As far as I know, none of you died. One unlucky guy twisted his foot when he was chasing a Dutch woman. You also sacrificed many soldiers
Staring at by Hai Rufeng's burning gaze, Marika Samantha's breasts rose and fell, and her face felt a little hot. Hai Rufeng's gaze made her feel like she was not wearing any clothes.
She could probably guess what the man in front of her wanted, but...
Hai Rufeng then served tea to see the guests off. Marika Samantha was sent away from the palace that should have belonged to their family. The personal soldier who sent her out also inadvertently revealed a piece of news to her that Daqin did not want to see the unlimited expansion of Islam.
She did not leave Cuttack immediately. After settling down temporarily in the city, she immediately gathered the people who accompanied her to discuss countermeasures.
She said to her entourage: "When I came out, I heard a very important piece of news. The Qin people don't like Islam. They have huge warships and powerful military forces. If we can get their help and fight against the Mughal army together, we will have hope."
The general Hanu who escorted her asked, "Princess, how can we get help from Qin?"
When Hanu asked this, Marika Samantha couldn't help but think of Hai Rufeng's undisguised look at her, but she also knew that with her beauty alone, it was impossible to drag the Qin army into a full-scale war with the Mughal army, let alone win the full support of the Qin State.
From Hai Rufeng's burning yet clear gaze, she could feel that he was a very rational person, otherwise he would not have sent her out like this.
The situation is now pressing. The Mughal army led by Aurangzeb is continuously advancing towards Purbani. If it continues like this, let alone gaining the Cuttack area, it is only a matter of time before the Ottoman Empire is destroyed.
Marika Samantha thought for a moment and said, "This matter concerns the survival of all countries, including our Otsa. You should rush back to Purbani now and explain the situation to my father, and then let my father summon the leaders of various states to discuss. We might as well agree to pay tribute to the Qin State and give the Qin State certain benefits in exchange for their sending troops to help us resist the Mughal army.
You have to tell my father that if we cannot resist the Mughal army, we will have nothing. Sooner or later, all countries will be destroyed. Therefore, let us make some choices. No matter what, this may be our only chance of survival, and we must not miss it easily. "
"Princess, why don't you go back in person? You stay here, just in case..."
"Don't worry, I will be fine. I will stay here and get more information to understand the details of the Qin people and create some favorable conditions for future negotiations."
"But, Princess, what if the Qin people do something to you..." (To be continued...)
