Chapter 855

Listening to her son talking there, Empress Zhou gradually became clear about the direction she was going to go. When she finally left, there was already an involuntary smile on her face, and a hint of longing for the future .

As for the matter that Zhu Cihong was frightened before, although she had misunderstood it herself, she was still a little vigilant. Fortunately, the maids and servants were all withdrawn from the palace in advance, otherwise, there might be troubles.Now that no one knows about this, that is the best.

But she didn't know, although no one here seems to know, but Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Mughal, knew it clearly through the eavesdropping seeds on them.

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously at all.The prince can clearly understand his own position, which is the best thing for Ming Dynasty.

Just thinking about it like this, Emperor Chongzhen put this matter behind him, commanded his army to move all the way, and continued to turn him upside down in the belly of the Mughal Empire.

………………

In Dhaka, Bangladesh, Aurangzeb, the third son with the strongest leadership ability among the sons of Shah Jahan, is here. The place where he lives is a palace in the city, which was built by his second brother Shah Shuja. When he ruled here in [-], now he is cheap.

At the very beginning, Aurangzeb took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army's suppression of the border, and while supporting himself, he also asked Shah Jahan for more soldiers.It's just a pity that Shah Jahan didn't give it.

For Aurangzeb, this situation is actually the best. If not, he has nothing to lose.However, at any rate, the Ming army suppressed the border, and it seemed that they were about to invade Bangladesh at any time. For this reason, he took the military and political power of Bangladesh from the hands of the local governor, and even extended his hand to neighboring provinces.

Regarding this situation, his confidants were a little worried, for fear that this move would arouse Shah Jahan's suspicion.That would obviously be disadvantageous to Aurangzeb.

Unexpectedly, Aurangzeb had already planned to send troops to the border to demonstrate against the hoarding Ming army, and even initiated a scouting war, which was full of provocation.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Daming Dongwu, ordered the army to attack. On the one hand, he drove away the enemies in front of him, and on the other hand, he also showed off his arms to the Mughal army.Of course, he didn't dare to violate the previous will of Emperor Chongzhen, and it wasn't that the whole army started to attack Bengal.

In this way, it happened to fall into Aurangzeb's trick.

Not only did Aurangzeb not restrain himself from reaching out to neighboring provinces, but he immediately seized the military and political power of neighboring provinces on the pretext that the Ming army was about to launch a large-scale attack, bringing the army in his hands to almost one hundred thousand.

At this time, the news from Delhi finally came, indicating that the emperor entered from the Kashmir region, defeated Shashuja, and was besieging Delhi.

After hearing the news, many people were anxious and wanted to go back to King Qin.You know, that was the capital of the Mughal Empire, and many of them, especially the Royal Guards, grew up there.

In this regard, Aurangzeb did not agree, but simply asked two questions.

First, how long is the road from Dhaka to Delhi, how long will it take to march, and will it be possible in time?
In response, a group of generals immediately became silent after hearing this.

Dhaka is nearly [-] miles away from Delhi. The news spread from Delhi to Dhaka. It is estimated that there has already been a result in Delhi.If you rush over from Dhaka, even if it's just a cavalry army, it's impossible to arrive in time.

In fact, if the cavalry army does not have horses to prepare, it will not be as fast as the infantry army for long-distance marches!
Immediately afterwards, Aurangzeb asked a second question: If he leads an army back to aid Delhi, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty's Dongwu army?Should we just let the Ming army capture the empty Bengal and then fight westward?

At the beginning, Sha Jahan gave the military order, but he taught the Dongwu Ming army a lesson instead of letting the Dongwu Ming army capture the eastern territory of the Mughal Empire.If he went back like this, in case Shah Jahan questioned him, how could he reply?

Regarding this question, his subordinates had nothing to say.Moreover, it is even more impossible for those local generals to ignore the Bengal side and instead run so far to save Delhi.

Therefore, under the yelling of the local generals, there was a conclusion about Delhi's request for help.

Although Aurangzeb has achieved his goal, he also has some hidden worries.

He didn't know why the Ming emperor would suddenly come out of Kashmir?How many troops did he bring? Is this to destroy the Mughals or to retaliate against the Mughals?

The answers to these questions, because he has too little information, so he can't get the correct answers.

However, if you want to say how worried he is, that's not true.

First, Aurangzeb is very confident and feels that his military talents are far superior to others, including his father Khan, who is known as the "Khan of the World".

Second, Aurangzeb fought against the Ming army, even if the Ming governor Dongwu personally led the army, he didn't care at all.He probably knows the strength of the opponent.He was sure that if he wanted to, he would have defeated the Ming army in front of him long ago and entered Dongwu.

"Hmph!" When Aurangzeb thought of this, he felt contemptuous in his heart, "If this king didn't want to use you to seize as many military power as possible, he would have punished you a long time ago!"

He was very ambitious, and he had planned long ago. Instead of waiting for the emperor's position to fall on him, he went to grab it himself, just like Shah Jahan did back then.

This kind of thing that rarely happens in the land of China is quite common in this land. Aurangzeb's doing this can be regarded as another manifestation of the son inheriting his father's legacy.

It has to be said that Aurangzeb does have this vision and strength.He keenly felt that regardless of whether Delhi was eventually captured by the Ming emperor, the Mughal Empire would be in chaos.Therefore, he took this opportunity to further control the military power in his hands.The generals who can be won over will be drawn over, and those who cannot be won over will be punished and demoted or even killed.

Under his method, slowly, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands gradually became his army.Even if he leads the [-] troops to fight against Shah Jahan in the future, he is sure that the troops in his hands will never rebel.

However, at this time, more and more news from the capital gradually reached Bangladesh.

Delhi was captured by the Ming emperor, Shah Jahan fled after hearing the news, and the Ming emperor led the army to march eastward...

Some of these news did not matter to Aurangzeb at all.For example, he didn't care at all when Delhi was captured by the Ming Emperor.That capital city was not his capital city, it belonged to his father Khan, and the losses were all his father Khan's.It can even be said that if Delhi was captured, his father Khan's power would be greatly reduced. If one day in the future, he really has to face his father Khan, the pressure will be much less.

There are also news, such as Shah Jahan fled after hearing the news, and did not go to a decisive battle with the Ming emperor to take back Delhi.This news made Aurangzeb even happier.In this way, he believed that the prestige established by Shah Jahan in the past few years must be hit hard.Those who served Shah Jahan in the past and were willing to follow Shah Jahan and serve behind him may change their minds, and this will also help him seize the throne!

However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not go south to find Shah Jahan for a decisive battle, but instead led the army to the east, which made him unhappy.

Aurangzeb was very smart, and he immediately realized that the reason why the emperor of Ming Dynasty led the army to the east was to enter Dongwu, or return from here, or join the Ming army here.In short, no matter what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought in the end, he was going to pass through Bengal, so what should he do?
At the beginning, Aurangzeb had the idea that he wanted to use the head of the Ming emperor to increase his prestige, so that he could justifiably take the throne of the emperor of the Mughal Empire.

However, as the Ming emperor's army slowly approached the east, he knew more and more news, and he felt that his idea might be difficult to realize.

Judging from the news that he heard, among the army led by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there were at least [-] cavalry troops, probably [-]. It was the trump card in the hands of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he used cavalry tactics superbly.In the process of advancing all the way east, they either ran quietly or suddenly returned to the carbine, often defeating the Mughal army.There are some battles that the conceited Aurangzeb did not expect.

Therefore, Aurangzeb felt that he could destroy the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and use his head as a stepping stone, which seemed a bit unreliable.Then, he quickly thought of another solution to this matter, which was to negotiate a peace with the Ming Emperor.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty led the army from Kashmir, conquered Delhi, and then continued eastward. The Mughals had definitely turned upside down.If I can reach a consensus with the Ming Emperor, appease the Ming Emperor, and let them go, then in this Mughal land, the most powerful person is definitely me.

Afterwards, he led the army westward to appease the region, and at the same time fought a decisive battle with his father Khan. It is estimated that most of the local governors would not help, and even seeing that they were powerful, they might even take refuge in themselves.In this way, the throne is none other than himself!

The more Aurangzeb thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good. However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty approached, further news came, which made him feel cold, because he found that it seemed that the peace he had negotiated There seems to be no way to go.

Aurangzeb really couldn't understand why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought highly of those pariahs so much, and even copied almost all the rich and powerful, and distributed their property to those pariahs, is it crazy?
As far as Emperor Ming's behavior is concerned, isn't he also within his attack range?Negotiation, negotiating fart!
 Thanks to Suifeng Xiaoqiao for the reward!
