Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 917

Early the next morning, after the sky was bright, the Ming army got up and saw, good guy, there were corpses all over the ground outside the city of Allahabad.

Just overnight, the Mughals outside the city were able to escape, and the only thing the Ming army needed to do was the Mughals inside the city.

It was also when the sky was bright that the Mughal soldiers on the top of the city finally realized that last night, the Ming army did not come to attack at all, but frightened themselves, scaring away the army outside the city. .

Knowing this, looking at the corpses outside the city, the morale of the Mughal soldiers inside the city undoubtedly became lower!

Aurangzeb was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

In the current situation, unless he can win a big battle, it will be extremely difficult to reverse this situation!

Looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there are actually very few people like Aurangzeb who led an army of millions and were defeated and wanted to turn the situation around. Most of them were relatives who defected and ended up dying, such as Fu Jian.

For Aurangzeb, the army outside the city was gone, and his men only had about [-] remnants in the city.What to do next, it made him a headache!

To be honest, regarding the upcoming battle in Allahabad, he knew very well that the city wall might not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army. The best way is to go far away and gather strength to fight again. , not Lian Zhan, that is likely to be a losing streak!

However, the Ming army outside the city turned out to be a light cavalry army with one man and two riders. They couldn't run against them at all. How could they escape?
Aurangzeb was worrying about it, when suddenly his subordinates came forward and said: "Your Majesty, after the Dutch hijacked the guards at the south gate, they opened the gate and escaped!"

"What?" Aurangzeb was furious when he heard it, "How could they have escaped? Didn't I say that the door is not allowed to open without my will? A bunch of idiots, trash..."

Although he was cursing angrily, he knew in his heart that it was probably because he treated the Dutch as a guest of honor, so none of his subordinates were wary of the Dutch.They made up their minds to escape, and if they made a sudden attack, they would definitely succeed.

I just didn't expect that the Ming army had just arrived in Allahabad, and they hadn't launched a siege war yet. The Dutch were so pessimistic about themselves and ran away so impatiently?
At this moment, Aurangzeb had the intention of killing Kui Yi.However, Kuiyi had already escaped, and even if he wanted to kill someone, he would be too far away.

In desperation, he could only speak harshly: In the Mughal Empire, not only the trade and commerce friendship agreement with the Dutch was revoked, but the Dutch were also listed as enemies.

However, Aurangzeb didn't have the heart to continue to "care" about the Dutch. The Ming army in the distance moved and began to move towards Allahabad, and finally began to surround Allahabad.

Marching day and night, the Ming army was not made of iron after all.However, after a day of rest, I basically recovered a little.Seeing that there were people fleeing from Allahabad, Li Yan still ordered the siege to begin.

Others can escape, but that Aurangzeb must not let him escape.

Allahabad is located at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers. It is not easy to complete the real encirclement. It is necessary to send an army to the other side of the river.

However, the Ming army was only a cavalry army and had no boats. If they wanted to cross the river, they had to find someone who was familiar with the local terrain to see if they could cross the river to the other side.

As for Aurangzeb, there are actually difficulties.

He wanted to escape, and the best way was to go to the other side of the river.

But the problem is that when he led an army of one million all the way eastward, he took away all the ships that he could collect along the way, and was burned by the Ming army.

Now in the city of Allahabad, there are only one or two small boats that slipped through the net.Unless he left the army and fled alone, otherwise, he would transport a few people to the opposite bank at a time by small boat, which would be transported to the year of the monkey.

And if Aurangzeb escaped alone, or just with a few personal guards, it is estimated that the world is so big that there will be no place for him.

After all, he usurped the throne and became the emperor. When his army was strong, he could ignore the fact that he was not in the right position. But once he lost the strong support of the army, he would become a dog in the water and be beaten in all likelihood!Not to mention, there are not only the Ming army in the country, but also his two older brothers who are also proclaiming emperor.

Therefore, Aurangzeb was still very hesitant about abandoning his army and fleeing.The reason is that he actually knew in his heart that Allahabad would definitely not be able to hold on, staying here would probably be a dead end in the end!
To escape, or not to escape, it is really tangled!
However, his entanglement only lasted for one day, and he didn't need to entangle again the next day.

Because, a Ming warship appeared on the Ganges!On the east side, the Ming cavalry appeared again.

The Great Ming Expeditionary Army and the Great Ming Qinghai-Tibet Surprise Army successfully joined forces in Allahabad!

The Ming army at Bhagalpur, of course, knew the truth of chasing after the victory and beating snakes to death. Therefore, after sorting out the prisoners a little, they immediately sent the navy army under Yang Zhan and He Yilong's troops along the way. Following the Ganges, the pursuit began.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Qinghai-Tibet Army arrived earlier than them and surrounded the remnants of Aurangzeb.

In this way, the Ganges River is full of Ming warships, completely sealing off Allahabad!
At this time, even if Aurangzeb wanted to leave the army and escape, he had no chance.

In the Mughal Empire, apart from Yang Weizhi in Dhaka, Li Yan had the largest official position and was the governor. Therefore, Yang Zhan and He Yilong all reported to Li Yan's command and integrated into an army.

Even when the Ming army is not dominant, it can defeat the Mughal Empire army. Not to mention, the current Ming army even has more troops than the Mughal Empire army, and the morale of the defenders in the city is extremely low. low.

Not surprisingly, two days later, when the Ming army launched a formal siege and Allahabad was bombarded by unscrupulous artillery from the Ming army, the defenders surrendered without Aurangzeb's consent.Even for meritorious service, Aurangzeb himself was captured alive by the Mughals and sent to the front of the Ming army.

Just like that, the biggest battle in the Mughal Empire ended, and basically, the Mughal Empire could declare its subjugation.

Why basically?This is because the Mughal Empire also had two emperors, namely Darashuko and Shashuja.Although their strength is very weak, they are also the emperors of the Mughal Empire, and they must be wiped out.

In addition, there are still many places in the Mughal Empire that the Ming army has not defeated, and it will take time to conquer them.

The Mughal Empire was regarded as the first real power conquered by the Ming Dynasty. After annihilating its main force, occupying its capital city, and even occupying its most prosperous area, it still took time to truly conquer the entire country. It takes time.

However, one thing is for sure, it just takes time, nothing more!

In the south, when the navy led by Zheng Zhibao arrived in Goa, the Colombo Dutch who fled earlier had already arrived in Goa. However, they did not choose to stick to it. Instead, together with their accomplices, they fled before the Ming army arrived. !

The size of the Ming Navy is still not something they can resist.It is right to rely on the Mughal Empire, but the Mughal Empire is also fighting in the north, and even dispatched more than 2000 Dutchmen to accompany the army. The strength of Goa is not strong.

More importantly, the Netherlands relied on strong ships and guns. If the Ming army blocked the port and burned their warships, there would be nothing left.

Therefore, the Dutch finally chose to escape.

Their plan is: when the Ming people occupy Goa and are attacked by the Mughals from the land, if they can't resist it, they can still fight back; but if the Ming people defeat the Mughals, they will wait With the results of the war in the north, their governor Kui Yi will inevitably ask the emperor of the Mughal Empire to lead an army. In the end, they can still return to Goa.

The wishful thinking was well planned, but in the end it failed. After Zheng Zhibao's navy occupied Goa, the nearby Mughal Empire army did try to attack from the land, but there is no doubt that the Ming army beat the crap out of them. Many people also became prisoners of the Ming army and became free labor for the expansion of Goa.

In this way, the Ming army had strongholds in the north, east, and south of the Mughal Empire, and based on this, it began to conquer outwards. With the power of a great victory over Aurangzeb, wherever the Ming army went, The Mughals surrendered one after another.

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

News about the war in the Mughal Empire was quickly reported to Dhaka, and then quickly sent to Ava City. The phone has been dialed here, and it was directly connected to the capital, which is far faster than the era without telephones. ten thousand times.

On the capital's side, after learning the news of the great victory, there was actually not much celebration.It can even be said that it is far less joyful than when Liaodong was liberated!
This has something to do with the distance, and it has little to do with the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the capital. It also has to do with the fact that Daming has won consecutive battles and is getting used to good news.

Even if the Mughal Empire was a big country, it was the same.

The same is true for Emperor Chongzhen. He must be happy when he is happy, but he did not specifically celebrate. He just issued an order to continue selecting vassals and prepare to entrust them to the Mughal Empire. According to the plan, there are at least three vassals. These things, It has been done many times, and there is already a special yamen, and it is enough to carry out the affairs of the vassal king step by step.

As for Emperor Chongzhen himself, his thoughts were not at all on the distribution of feudal lords, but on the result of his daughter Princess Kunxing's research and development just now.

For him, he is most concerned about internal affairs.The research results of Princess Kunxing are very beneficial to internal affairs.Of course, this is also a research step that he specially requested from Liu Weichao, and asked Princess Kunxing to do it.
