Chapter 831 Raid
As soon as Shah Jahan ordered, no matter whether he was prepared or not, he would fight.

This sudden situation surprised Yan Yingyuan as well. While ordering to prepare for battle, he immediately took a telescope to observe carefully.

As the saying goes, once there are more than [-] people, there will be a sea of ​​people.

On the side of the Mughal Empire army, the infantry and cavalry were mobilized, and the dust was flying, and the momentum was still great.

The soldiers of the Ming army, although already mentally prepared, became serious when they saw this scene, and began to prepare nervously for the battle.

After a while, Yan Yingyuan, who had been observing, suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing the governor laughing so loudly before the powerful enemy came to attack, many people around were a little puzzled. Among his personal guards, someone immediately asked: "My lord, the enemy is attacking, why are you laughing?"

Yan Yingyuan listened, turned his head to look at him, turned his head again, pointed to the front with a smile and asked: "You can see that the enemy is clearly still preparing, but when a messenger arrives, they rush to attack immediately. Why is this?"

The Mughal Empire barracks, and the Ming army are also under surveillance.

The courier has a flag on his body to deliver the express delivery, so that the journey can be unimpeded.Moreover, express couriers within eight hundred miles are extremely rare no matter which country they are in.The people of the Mughal Empire would naturally be very surprised when they saw it, and they would naturally be able to attract the attention of the Ming army's lookout post, and immediately reported the news to Yan Yingyuan.

As Yan Yingyuan's personal guard, of course he also heard about this matter.Hearing Yan Yingyuan's question at this time, he couldn't help being a little surprised. After thinking about it, a quick-thinking personal guard answered first: "My lord, could it be that something important happened in the Mughal Empire that made them rush?" attack?"

"That's right!" Yan Yingyuan smiled and praised when he heard it, and then raised his voice and said loudly: "The emperor has a good plan, saying that once the enemy attacks aggressively, Tibet's Gushi Khan will send troops to support him. The northern part of the Woer Empire, especially the area around their capital. If this officer’s predictions are correct, the enemy’s messenger must have come to report the news. Then Shah Jahan was anxious to go back, so he rushed to attack!”

To be honest, Yan Yingyuan was really surprised, but at the same time convinced, the emperor could grasp the timing so accurately in this place thousands of miles away, there is really no one else in this world!
Hearing that it was the emperor's arrangement and that there was a wonderful plan bestowed upon him, all the soldiers around were overjoyed and shouted, "Long live my emperor!"

With the emperor coordinating and commanding, there will be no battles to lose!Just this news gave them boundless confidence and their morale soared.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who were farther away, felt strange when they heard the shout "Long live my emperor", and the emperor is not here. What are they doing, so happy?
Therefore, naturally many people were curious and inquired about it.

When Yan Yingyuan saw it, he chuckled, waved to his personal guards and said, "Let the soldiers be happy!"

When his personal guard heard this, he quickly responded, and then went to pass on the message.

All of a sudden, all kinds of surprised voices rang out from the Ming army.

"What, really?"

"Is it the emperor's tricks? That must be right!"

"..."

After a while, someone shouted "Long live my emperor" first, and then other soldiers followed suit.Later, all the soldiers shouted in unison with joy: "Long live my emperor!"

The sound was so loud that it spread far to the Mughal Empire army, which was dispatching troops, and they were all very surprised: What happened to the Ming army over there? They are about to attack them, why are they still like this? Happy, what are they shouting about?
They all heard it, and naturally Phillips, who stayed in Bombay, also heard it.After staying with Ming Jun for so long, I know the importance of Chinese. Therefore, I study hard and can already understand a little bit.He happened to be able to understand the Chinese phrase "Long live my emperor", but upon hearing this, he immediately felt strange and quickly asked what was going on?

However, once Phillips understood it, he didn't know where Gushi Khan was, so he asked the translator to explain it to him for a long time before he finally understood.

To be honest, he didn't believe it.However, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that the Ming army, as the main force, believes in it!Looking at the current high morale, this made Phillips feel confident that he already knew the outcome of this battle before it started.

What Phillips expected was indeed correct, and he deserved to be a person who leads troops all the year round.Shah Jahan's hastily launched this offensive resulted in the loss of many corpses outside the earthen wall, so the flag and drums could only die down.

In this battle, Shah Jahan tried it out. The quality of individual soldiers of the Ming army is very strong, enough to be called elite.And it is well-equipped, and the musket can fire without firing.Also, the artillery of the Ming army can shoot very far. What surprised him the most is that the accuracy is still very high.

Such a Ming army, under the premise that the fortifications are complete, he knows that no matter how hard he fights, it is impossible to defeat it in a hurry.Therefore, he had to withdraw his troops.

Hurry, I can't be in a hurry.Shah Jahan can only comfort himself, there are only more than 1 people under Gush Khan in the north, and it will not have a big impact, so don't be impatient!

Then, he put aside the affairs in the north and devoted all his energy to the present.While re-preparing for the war, he strictly ordered the Allied forces not to allow the Mumbai Ming army to escape or receive supplies.

Just like that, the Mumbai war started a new round of stalemate, and it was impossible for him to take down Tucheng in one fell swoop. The best way is to surround until the Ming army has no supplies.

………………

Just as they were in a stalemate, time slowly arrived in late November of the 25th year of Chongzhen. On this day, Emperor Chongzhen had led his army to the northern border of the Mughal Empire.

Here, the weather is already very cold, already below zero.You have to go south for the weather to be comfortable.

When the army was making its final rest, Emperor Chongzhen was holding a military meeting to prepare for entering the Mughal Empire.

In front of a simple map of the Mughal Empire, Emperor Chongzhen drew a circle with a thin stick and said: "Now the more than 1 troops of Gushri Khan are in a stalemate with the army of the Mughal Empire in this area. The strength of the army is about [-], and the force is relatively elite, so the troops of Gushri Khan have turned to the defensive."

Having said that, he stretched out his stick again, and clicked on the map: "Here, Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire has about [-] troops and is besieging Dongwu Governor's headquarters. Now it is also in a stalemate. Among them, it is basically difficult for Shah Jahan to defeat Governor Dongwu before his supplies are exhausted."

Listening to the emperor's introduction of the whole battle situation, at this time, there were no phone calls or telegrams, which can be described as unbelievable.However, the generals of the Ming army in the Chinese army tent are already used to it, so they all listened intently.

"There is still here." Emperor Chongzhen finally pointed to the Bangladesh area and said: "Now the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan has arrived with reinforcements and merged with Governor Dongwu, with a total of [-] troops, which has already put a lot of pressure on Bangladesh. They can be on the offensive at any time. Their face-to-face enemy is Aurangzeb, the third prince of the Mughal Empire, with about [-] troops."

Speaking of this, I have roughly introduced the entire situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire today.Probably two places are on the defensive and one is on the offensive.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the generals in the tent, let them digest the whole situation, and then continued: "It is basically impossible for the Mughal Empire to have our army. Therefore, at the beginning of the war , must be disrupted quickly, and catch the enemy by surprise."

"The final general obeys the order!" Hearing his request, all the generals in the tent clasped their fists in unison to receive the order.

"Also!" Emperor Chongzhen said here, holding a thin stick, and said solemnly, "The purpose of this battle is to destroy the country, but our army has limited strength. Therefore, you should remember that every attack can Take it lightly, but if you can’t take it lightly, you don’t need to attack by force! Every time you capture a place, rich and noble people will be killed; half of the supplies you get will be used by the military and half will be distributed to the people. Do you understand clearly?”

"The last general understands!" All the generals responded in unison again.

The so-called annihilation of the country meant the destruction of the Mughal Empire. It meant killing their upper echelons, rather than killing all the people in the Mughal Empire.

Giving half of the money to the low-level civilians of the Mughal Empire is to buy people's hearts, but to disintegrate the other party.Although they will not rule them immediately, even if the people of the Mughal Empire run away after the Ming army, it will take a lot of effort to re-establish order.As long as the vitality of the Mughal army is destroyed, it will be much easier for the Ming army to attack again.

It was based on such considerations that Emperor Chongzhen made this decree.

After talking about these strategic aspects, he began to deploy specific tactical things for the first battle.

After two days of rest, more than 2 cavalry troops, divided into three groups, broke into the Kashmir region of the Mughal Empire, officially starting the Northwest War of the Mughal Empire.

The route led by Emperor Chongzhen was the route Babur, a descendant of the Mongol Timur, went south to capture India and establish the Mughal Dynasty.

As far as the Mughal Empire is concerned, their troops in the northwest have been transferred, either to go south with Shah Jahan, or to the northeast to deal with Gush Khan's troops. The northwest, which was originally thought to be peaceful, suddenly encountered cavalry The military raid was simply confused.

The three Ming armies all captured their targets with lightning speed, and there was basically no resistance.

At this time, there is not much benevolence, righteousness and morality. As soon as the city is controlled, when everyone is trembling in awe, they ransack the homes of the wealthy households in the city.According to the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen, half of them were collected in the army, and half of them were summoned to the people of the whole city, and told them that the Ming Dynasty came to avenge the people of Dongwu and destroy the country.

At the same time, the Ming Emperor knew about their suffering under Mughal rule and came to liberate them and lead them to live a good life.As soon as you talk, the wealth is distributed, and you prove it with practical actions.
