It was soon June, and it had been a year since the fleet left the Port of Sevastopol.

Although the British were defeated in Bangladesh and lost the Madras colony and the entire Indian navy, the French, Portuguese, Dutch, and Danes could still pass the news to them.

They can also pass the message to the Truchens.

Soon, Timur and others who were still lingering in West Bengal received the latest news.

The news was that a Portuguese merchant ship was coming, and there was also a Truchen intelligence officer on it.

"Your Highness, not long ago, the British immediately prepared to form a large number of warships to go south after learning about India, but our country received the news in advance."

"Since His Highness left, our country has modified all previous squadrons to new steam engines and artillery, but the new ironclad fleet is still not built."

"There are twelve old-style squadrons in our country now. After modification, they are only one in the Caspian Sea. Each of the Azov Sea is retained, and four are retained in the Black Sea. They are stationed in Sevastopol, Kherson, Odessa and Batumi."

"One is reserved on Lash Island and one is reserved in Morocco"

"The modified old fleet has added two military cargo ships, and the remaining five squadrons are now heading here at full speed."

"When these five squadrons arrived at the western end of the Mediterranean, they happened to receive news from the British. The fleet commander Deng Yi simply turned around and headed north and fought with the British fleet in the English Channel. Our country naturally won a great victory, but it almost lost a squadron's combat ship."

"After the battle, four squadrons and four additional large cargo ships, and two clutches continued to move south. At this time, they should have arrived on the east coast of Africa."

"After arriving there, a squadron should be left at the Port of Wonbo. The remaining three will continue to head north and arrive in half a month at most. There are Portuguese and French on the ship. With their guidance, there is no big problem."

Timur nodded.

An important place like Bangladesh requires at least one squadron to guard it. Moreover, the Arakan Kingdom is actually in a power vacuum. It is too slow to use their own small boats to use the Truchens' large cargo ships.

With four and a half squadrons, there will be twenty large ships with capacity close to the Tengis. Each ship can carry 3,000 people, and twenty ships will be 60,000 people. Such capacity is great.

To this day, the Truchens have set up six cities in West Bengal. In addition to Kolkata, Mangur and Budwan, Kurna has also been added to the east, Belampur has been set up to the north, and Klegepur has set up three cities, all of which are set up on the basis of the previous Bangladesh castles.

He allowed the migrant Assams to station in the west with Klegpur as the center, and replaced the former Bengali nobles as the new landlords.

The Arakans were stationed in the southern bank of the Ganges River centered on Belampur in the north, and also replaced the former nobles, most of which moved to East Bengal.

The rest of the places were directly affiliated with the son-in-law of the Mughal Emperor, Toure.

For the territory of Aragan and Assam, Truchen still retained slavery, allowing the new Aragan and Assamians to become the masters of Shudra here.

However, for the territory directly controlled by Toure, the Truchens, except for the few Bengali noble manors, all the rest of the places were loyal to Toure and built schools in Kolkata, Mangur, Budwan and Burna.

The Truqins selected strong and nimble people in the Vaisya and Shudra in Bengal to study and allowed them to convert to Changchun religion.

Four brigades were recruited from among them, and the soldiers of these four brigades and the selected students' families became owners of a large amount of land.

The Mughals, another winner in the war half a year ago, not only won the entire Bihar, but also obtained the territory north of the Ganges that originally belonged to Bangladesh, which made West Bengal not as large as before.

However, after careful investigation, the population here is still as high as four million, most of which are Vaisya and Shudra.

The remaining Vaisyas and Shudras still retain their Brahman beliefs, but now they only have one master.

Toure.

The Truchens expanded the castles and ports in Kolkata and began to let the Alagans. The Assams transported a large amount of high-quality ships here. The Alagans were famous sailors and boatmen in the Bay of Bengal. Under the guidance of the Truchen craftsmen and the Truchen Navy, they were becoming craftsmen in the Truchen Shipyard and sailors in the Navy's preparation fleet.

The coal mines near Budwan are completely in the hands of the Truchen people. With a large number of Shudras to be used, they can be mined in large quantities.

After learning from the Portuguese that there were open-pit iron ore with high grade near Goa that they had, Timur reached an agreement with Henry to exchange iron ore with flax materials, and a large number of high-quality iron ore had been transported to two ships by the Tengis.

There are still many craftsmen in the fleet who were prepared early in the morning. At present, under their leadership, a large number of Alagan, Assam craftsmen and Shudra, who have a larger number of people, have begun to operate the Truchens' coal-steel complex in Bangladesh.

Timur knew that if we walked further, there would be no such place as India that has high-quality coal resources and iron ore resources. If we want to realize the Dragon Plan of Qitad, it would be impossible to rely on the ship-borne people alone, and we must make good use of West Bengal.

As for the Marathas, as Timur and others expected, after the defeat again, the alliance split instantly. Except for the states close to the Mughal Empire, the remaining states were obviously either focused on fighting for the position of New Peshwa or busy integrating the internal structures.

They had no intention of joining together again to launch a battle against the Mughals and the Truchens.

Because they are Indians.

In the east, due to Zheng Xin's rise, the Burmese king Meng Bo suddenly fell into the vast ocean of the Siam People's War. He didn't care about Alakan for a while, and Timur's plan to obtain population and wood from there was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

By the way, since Chittagong was ravaged by Meng Yun, there are not many people left in Alagan, but there was another teacher next to Prince Alagan who survived. His name is Wu Luohu, and he is now named after Toure to be a lord in Belampur.

He was surrounded by Bengali people, and he could only rely on Truchen people if he wanted to gain a foothold. At least for now, he must be devoted to Toure. Moreover, with the arrival of more Arakans, he could also divide his power.

As for the westernmost Assams, they can only rely on the Truchens to survive because they are still far away from their homeland.

In West Bengal, a new era is coming.

The premise of this era is obviously not the culture of the Truchens and how powerful religion is, but because they have strong naval and army forces.

In order to defend this situation, Timur and others had to wait for the arrival of the old-style squadron.

After much anticipation, they finally waited for Deng Yi's fleet in July.

A whole brigade was transported on the fleet, carrying a large number of Truchen local craftsmen, officials, teachers, doctors, etc. Now Timur was relieved. He asked Deng Yi to lead two squadrons and the entire brigade to assist Toure in Kolkata, and he led his ironclad fleet, two old squadrons, and two cavalry brigades to leave again.

Ten days later, the fleet arrived in Malacca, a Dutch colony.

After learning that the Truchens easily expelled the British from Bangladesh, and their next target was not Batavia, the Dutch were still very good at doing things because they were also defeated men under the British.

Their provincial governor in Colombo, Sri Lanka immediately signed an agreement with Timur that the ships of both sides can be docked at the other port without limiting the number of ships. Of course, it is still necessary to apply in advance.

From the Dutch, Timur got the latest news from the Malay Peninsula.

"There are several kingdoms on the peninsula, the largest one is the Johor Kingdom at the eastern end, but the country is often in the nearby Makassar people. Under the threat of the Aceh people, they are in panic all day long and have loose control over Temasek Island."

Temasek Island was later Singapore.

"The current Johor kings, no, no, no, they are called Sultan, Mamo III, but the power is in the hands of the Prime Minister, they are called Adu Hami, and Temasek Island is the fief of Adu Hami's son Adu Hami, and Adu Haman is the Tianmeng Duke of Temasek Island."

"Of course, Adu Laman would not live in Temasek, but also in Johor. There are only a few fishermen on the island now."

"Also, there are a large number of archipelagos south of Temasek, called the Lóne Islands, and the king of Johor lives in the city of Tanjung, the island."

"But the Lóne Islands are controlled by foreign Bugis. The king of Johor is just a puppet. The leader of the Bugis is Palani, who actually controls the Lóne Islands."

"His nephew is named Haji, who controls half of the Malay Peninsula."

Timur naturally knew why the Dutch were so enthusiastic, because according to the information provided by the Portuguese, the Dutch had long coveted the Lóne Islands, and the Bugis from Makassar had also dispatched large troops to attack the Dutch colony Malacca.

The Dutch still has a large number of islands to use here, so it is not necessary to have fewer islands. However, after learning that the Truchens wanted Temasek Island, they must have the intention of watching tiger fights.

In Malacca, where ships travel between the Indian Ocean and the South Ocean Islands must pass, there were crowds of people, Timur decided to stay here for a few days before talking about it.

He believed that "the situation in Bangladesh is mostly brought here by merchant ships. In addition to the Dutch, there are also a large number of Malays. Maybe there are also Johor Sultans, Tianmeng Gong, and Bugis. It is impossible to see such a huge fleet without thinking."

As the third brother of Qitad, he was naturally invited by the Dutch provincial governor to stay in the comfortable provincial governor, but Suha, as the intelligence chief, could not do so. He wore the Truchens' clothes and moved into a hotel run by a Chinese on the street with several intelligence personnel.

However, this Chinese came from the Anbuna Islands to the east. In the past, the Anbuna Islands were the territory of the Chinese, but later occupied by the Dutch. Some of the Chinese scattered to the Malay Peninsula and the Borneo Island to the east.

This Chinese is from Fujian, but he knows some of the official language that is popular in the Qing Dynasty at this time. When he saw that the "Truqin people" who have gradually spread in the Nanyang Islands, they were also an Eastern Confucius.
