Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 915

In this foreign country, Li Yan did not hesitate to act.

As soon as Agra was captured, the captured generals of the Mughal Empire army, who were of a slightly higher rank, were pulled out of the city; all the princes and ministers in the city were pulled out of the city. All click off.

Then the resources were redistributed, some benefits were given to ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, and Agra was quickly stabilized.

Without such thunderous means, there is no way to stabilize the situation so quickly. After all, in this foreign country, it is too difficult to distinguish who is sincere and who is not.

The most important thing is that the resources of Agra are concentrated in their hands. Only when the Ming army obtains resources from them can they use this resource to do things.How can it be possible to make them willingly take out these resources!

This is somewhat similar to the practice of thieves after maturity. In the original history, Li Zicheng relied on this method to finally develop and grow, and finally forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself.

This method was used in the Mughal Empire, and the effect was surprisingly good!This has a lot to do with the lives of ordinary people in the Mughal Empire!

Don't look at the fact that the Mughal Empire was the most powerful in the era from Shah Jahan to Aurangzeb, but this is actually because the emperors of the Mughal Empire resorted to military affairs and spent all their national power and resources on martial arts. Exploitation of prosperity.Economic neglect eventually led to the beginning of the collapse of Aurangzeb's reign.

The Mughal Empire can be said to be ruled by warriors, and its nobles all started their careers with military exploits. It is impossible for the people's livelihood to be governed by ordinary civilians.

On this plane, due to the arrival of the Ming Expeditionary Army, continuous wars caused civil strife in the Mughal Empire.No, the Agra area has just experienced the looting of Darashuko.And the people in the city collected food, grass and materials because Aurangzeb led an army of one million to go out. Therefore, ordinary people in the Mughal Empire were actually very poor.

The arrival of the Ming army, the act of robbing the rich and helping the poor, coupled with the deterrence of illustrious martial arts, made ordinary people in the Mughal Empire turn to Ming immediately.

After Li Yan settled all these, he immediately gathered some activists among the Mughals and asked them to rush to the east to spread the news that the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty had captured Agra.

The intention of doing this is obvious, that is to use this news to shake the morale of the army led by Aurangzeb and create opportunities for the expeditionary forces on the Eastern Front.

Later, he sent Yuan Zong's [-] cavalry army to attack the surrounding area and expand the occupied area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

As a result, what Li Yan never expected was that Yuan Zongdi rushed back to Agra in person on the third day.

Before entering the lobby, I just saw Li Yan dealing with official business, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhongcheng, good news, good news..."

When Li Yan heard this, he was very surprised.

Seeing the very excited Yuan Zongdi striding into the lobby, he felt that the so-called good news might not be small, otherwise, Yuan Zongdi would not be so happy.

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Yan also became interested, immediately put down his brush, looked at Yuan Zongdi and asked, "What good news?"

At this time, Yuan Zongdi had already strode forward, and he clasped his fists to Li Yan and said: "The last general caught the messenger sent by the Mughal dog emperor to Agra to ask for help, and only then did he know that Duke Qian's side was on fire." battalion, it took only two days to kill the Mughal army thousands of miles away. Now the dog emperor has fled to Allahabad, with less than [-] remnants defeated."

While he was speaking, he saw two of his personal guards escorting a Mughal man to the front of the hall.Obviously, none of them could keep up with Yuan Zongdi's footsteps.

After Yuan Zongdi finished speaking, he took out a copy of the decree promulgated by the emperor of the Mughal Empire from his arms, and handed it to Li Yan with both hands.

Of course Li Yan couldn't understand it, but there was an interpreter beside him. In addition, Li Yan interrogated the messenger again, and finally judged that the news was correct!
After figuring this out, he was also overjoyed. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately took out the map of the Mughal Empire and looked at it.

Afterwards, Li Yan immediately issued an order to convene an emergency military meeting!
The generals in the army were all reorganizing the original Mughal soldiers, and they were busy. When they received the military order, they didn't dare to neglect, and rushed there immediately.In the end, I didn't expect to hear such great good news. Immediately, everyone was as excited as Yuan Zongdi.

You know, at this moment, they already knew that Aurangzeb was the most capable prince in the Mughal Empire, and now he should be the emperor, leading an army of almost one million to attack Bagalpur. There are only tens of thousands of troops on the side, and the difference in military strength is too great. It is estimated that there will be a hard battle.

Unexpectedly, in just two days, Aurangzeb's million-dollar army was defeated, and it was an absolute victory!
With such good news, who on Daming's side can't be excited?
Li Yan made them happy, then walked to the map, slapped Allahabad with a slap, regained his serious expression, and said to his general: "Now that Aurangzeb has escaped here, It’s almost in the middle of Agra to Bhagalpur, a bit to our side. Judging from the news that he came to Agra to pass the message, he is unwilling to fail and is trying to fight again with the whole army!”

Withdrawing his hand, he glanced at his comrades, and said solemnly: "If you hit a snake, you will be killed, and you will kill him while he is sick! I estimate that even if Bhagalpur wants to take advantage of the victory, it will probably be delayed by the captives for a while." Time. Therefore, we should go ahead and attack Allahabad, so as not to give Aurangzeb a chance to fight again with his entire army!"

"The last general obeys the order!" The generals in the hall were immediately excited when they heard this, and each of them clasped their fists and loudly accepted the order.

It was considered a great achievement for their army to attack and capture the capital of the Mughal Empire by surprise.However, now with Bhagalpur's big victory, it seems a bit overshadowed.

Of course they don't want to be compared to Bhagalpur, and now Mr. Zhongcheng wants to play, which is exactly what they want.

Therefore, Li Yan immediately spread the news of Aurangzeb's defeat widely, and continued to establish the impression that the Ming army was invincible in the hearts of the Mughals.

Later, he asked Tian Jianxiu to lead the [-] Ming army and the reorganized Mughal soldiers to guard Agra, and he personally led the remaining [-] cavalry to attack the Mughal army in Allahabad. .

The reason why Tian Jianxiu was kept is because Tian Jianxiu is generous, stable, not rash in doing things, and can stabilize people's hearts.In the original history, when Li Zicheng led his troops to the capital.Tian Jianxiu was the one who stayed behind in Xi'an.

Li Yan's army was originally formed to sneak attack the capital of the Mughal Empire and cause trouble behind the enemy. Therefore, not only are they all cavalry, but they are also equipped with one man and two horses.Only in this way can there be sufficient mobility.

It just so happens that this is just in time for the journey again.

On the way east to Allahabad, I left the Agra area. The local government of the Mughal Empire had originally received Aurangzeb’s order to request the re-provision of food, supplies and soldiers, and they knew the news of the defeat. But people were panicked, and later they heard that Agra had been captured by the Ming army, and they were even more disturbed. When they saw the Ming iron cavalry, rolling eastward, they were frightened.

If Aurangzeb was not defeated, they would not be too afraid even if they knew that the capital had fallen into the hands of the Ming army.After all, Aurangzeb led an army of millions, this is where his confidence lies!
But now, the Ming army easily defeated Aurangzeb's million-strong army, which dealt a heavy blow to their confidence, and the fall of the capital became another news that seriously hit their confidence.

Under such circumstances, seeing the Daming iron cavalry passing by, it would be strange not to be afraid!

From their point of view, the current Mughal Empire seems to be full of Ming troops everywhere!

This day of the Mughal Empire is about to change!This understanding is something that even ordinary people can think of.

........................

Besides, Aurangzeb finally stopped after fleeing to Allahabad in one breath.Of course, I had to stop, because I couldn't run anymore.

The army of one million was defeated by the Ming army in such a short period of time. When they fled, they might not have had time to think about it. Now that they have stopped, when they think of this matter, it is conceivable that the army of the Mughal Empire will be greatly affected. How big will the morale blow be!
How much confidence you have before the war, then how much blow you will have at this time!

It took a long time to collect about [-] remnants and defeated generals. From the generals to the soldiers, they were all very frustrated and terrified.During the consecutive days of stopping, these soldiers who fled back did not have a peaceful night's sleep.

Every night when I go to sleep, I always feel as if the Ming army has killed and set fire again!
This defeat, the blow to Aurangzeb, is also beyond doubt.However, it was obvious that he had no way out.He was not reconciled to failing like this, so he cheered up again, and issued orders to various places to gather the defeated army, and asked the localities to provide food, supplies and troops again.No matter what, there must be another competition with the Ming army.

However, what he didn't expect was that this time the recruitment of troops, the collection of food and grass, and even the collection of defeated troops were all very difficult.Not to mention the unwillingness of those defeated troops to return to his command, the local army leaders were also struggling, which was very unfavorable.

After these situations were reported to Aurangzeb, he was furious.

His generals also advised him that under such a disastrous defeat, perhaps he should return to Agra first.

The Dutch side also suffered heavy losses. Most of them ran away, probably as prisoners of the Ming army. This made Kuiyi who escaped also very frustrated and asked to return to Agra first.

Just when Aurangzeb was a bit unable to resist the request of his subordinates and was considering returning to Agra, the army led by Li Yan arrived.
