Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1327 Chaos
On the Dhaka side, Shah Jahan is still preparing, but on the Goa side, the war has already begun.

Aurangzeb was full of ambition. Before he set off, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must fight this battle well, so that his father Khan would impress him, and he would establish his position among his father Khan in one fell swoop.

For this reason, he led the expedition, and when he was about to reach Goa, he decisively took his cavalry, abandoned the infantry, and accelerated into Goa.

Speaking of which, it wasn't long before Da Ming took down Goa, and he was still in the digestion stage.If he didn't know it in advance, Aurangzeb's decisiveness would probably catch the Ming army by surprise.

However, the Ming army has a chat group that can be contacted instantly.As soon as the Jinyiwei spies lurking along the way saw Aurangzeb leading the cavalry to set off alone, the Ming army in Goa got the news before they went away, and they accelerated their speed to target them.

Therefore, Aurangzeb led two thousand cavalry, held his breath, and indeed attacked like a dragon, without the slightest stagnation, and kept attacking.

But what made him a little depressed was that the Ming army was hiding in the city, and he was just a cavalry army, so he couldn't attack the city at all.In this regard, while ordering the infantry behind to catch up quickly, he quickly continued to penetrate in depth, trying to catch other Ming troops by surprise.

However, no matter how fast he was, he hadn't encountered the Ming army in the wild anyway, and the Ming army in Goa was all huddled in a limited number of cities.

Although Aurangzeb was a bit regretful about this, he didn't care too much. Looking at the Ming flag fluttering in the wind in front of him and the red military uniform on the top of the city, he pointed his whip at the top of the city and shouted confidently: " A tortoise hides in its shell, but it cannot escape the fate of being eaten by an eagle!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ordered at the same time: "Go, join the infantry and eat the turtle shell!"

Like his father Khan, he did not expect that when they started preparing to attack the city, the Ming army had already taken the first step, but they were not on the battlefield they had planned.

A day earlier, on the waters of Mumbai, countless Ming navy appeared.Without any resistance, Deng Kelu's army landed here.

Mumbai was originally occupied by the Portuguese.After Shivira fled from the Lion Kingdom, he knew that Portugal could not compete with the Ming army with its strength in the Far East. Therefore, when he fled to the base of Mumbai, he looted everything here and took the Portuguese here to evacuate.

After the Portuguese left, the Mughal Empire heard about it and sent a local army to take advantage of it.In fact, there is nothing cheap to pick up. When the Portuguese left, they never thought about coming back, so naturally they would not leave anything behind.Therefore, there were not many people in the Mughal Empire in Mumbai. They were petrified when they saw the red ocean landing, so they dared to resist.

The Ming army led by Deng Kelu only rested in Mumbai for a while, and immediately launched an attack northward.This place was originally not an area that the Mughal Empire valued, so the defense was very weak. When the officials of the Mughal Empire heard that the Ming army was attacking, they hurriedly fled and sent messengers to report the news.

As more and more Mughal troops retreated, they finally felt that they had enough numbers and wanted to stop and stop the Ming army.After all, if they kept fleeing, Shah Jahan would be furious later, and their lives might be in danger.

Not only that, they were a little self-aware, and felt that the Ming army was more elite than theirs, so they also gathered surrounding troops, for example, the army on the side of Candela Port.

However, what they didn't expect was that before the army was fully assembled to deal with the Ming army on Deng Kelu's side, Ming's marines landed in Candela Port. The local army collapsed in one fell swoop.

The Ming army took all the captured officials, as long as they had status in the Mughal Empire, they all clicked. As for ordinary people, they told them that the Ming army came to execute the evil Mughal nobles, liberated them, and gave them Have a good time.Then, regardless of these people, the army immediately went north.

Regarding the words of the Ming army, the Mughals didn't believe it at all at first, and their first thought was to escape.After seeing that the Ming army was in charge of them, they stopped running away, gathered together in twos and threes, and curiously discussed what it meant for these Orientals to come to them.
"Do you think the Ming army will really give us a good life?"

"Who knows? Maybe they lied to us? Since ancient times, who would treat us as human beings?"

"Whatever, anyway, they didn't kill us, and they didn't enslave us, so don't care!"

"..."

Among them, there was a businessman who had a different opinion: "Don't tell me, you should know that Bangladesh has long been occupied by the Ming army. When I went to a nearby state to do business, I heard that Had some news!"

As soon as he said this, the people around were very interested, and they gathered around to inquire about the affairs of the Ming Kingdom.When the businessman saw it, he didn't hide anything, and told him everything he knew.

"I heard from the government that these Ming people from the east, you can see, they look different from us, just like those Westerners. Think about how Westerners treat us. Therefore, those Easterners are also like this , They don’t treat us as human beings at all. People in Bangladesh are living in dire straits!”

Hearing this, the people around took a breath, shook their heads and sighed, and even a few people even cursed, saying that they almost believed them.

However, before they finished complaining, the businessman raised his voice again and interrupted their discussion: "However, what I heard privately from my local business partners about the Ming army, and what the government said It's completely different!"

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those who were sighing also raised their heads one after another, with curiosity on their faces.

"My business partners said that there is no distinction between low and low races in Bangladesh. Only those who have been punished for crimes are low. Others, no matter who they are, as long as they are under the rule of Ming Dynasty, they are all treated equally. Obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be protected by the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, someone immediately confirmed in surprise: "Does that mean that what the Ming army said is true?"

When the others heard this, they all looked at the businessman with held breath, with anticipation in their eyes, wanting a confirmed result.

The businessman saw it, hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's probably true. But what I said before, I haven't seen it myself, so I can't be [-]% sure!"

Although he said so, these people immediately showed joy, and one of them said their heartfelt voice: "If this is true, that would be great!"

As these people dispersed, news about the Ming army slowly spread in the hinterland of the Mughal Empire.

Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, the officials left behind were frightened when they heard that a Ming army landed from the sea, and then went all the way to Delhi.The main force of the empire was taken away by Shah Jahan.After the news was passed several times, and under the addition of panic, the number of the Ming army was magnified, especially when it was heard that the Ming army was killing nobles.The nobles along the way fled into Delhi.

The officials in Delhi issued a death order to let the local troops on the Ming army’s attack route actively resist the Ming army. At the same time, they also mobilized the northern local troops, hoping to strengthen the defense of the south. Shah Jahan reported.

However, they never expected that after Deng Kelu discovered that the Indian army in front of him had increased, he told Gushi Khan who was waiting in the north through the chat group.

Therefore, the next time is the performance time of Gushi Khan.

His army had been secretly resting in Nepal.After hearing the news, he immediately swung his troops south and went straight to Delhi.Compared with the strict discipline of the Ming army, the army of Gushri Khan was worse.The resulting panic effect is even better.Especially in the eyes of the Mughals, it was the Ming and Tibetan countries who joined forces to fight them, and they felt even more desperate.

Without an elite army in hand, feeling irresistible, the only way was to send messengers one after another, eight hundred miles away, to report to Shah Jahan and others who had elite troops in hand.

The old nest is about to be taken away, and the hinterland of the Mughals is already in chaos. If you don't come back, what's the use of winning!
In Goa, Aurangzeb led [-] cavalry troops to deploy around the city, and scouts were sent far away to cut off the possibility of reinforcements from the Ming army in several other cities.Seeing the infantry and civilian husbands busy preparing to attack the city, I couldn't help feeling very happy.

The Ming army in this city, don't look at the flags everywhere on the city, but he has actually discovered that there are not many Ming troops inside, and there are many flags, it's just a bluff: "Hehe, did you see that the general city defense , at least three groups of soldiers should be on duty in rotation. But have you seen that although there are many Ming soldiers on the top of the city, this prince has already remembered the faces of some of them. In fact, the Ming army only has two groups of people on duty in rotation. , This shows that the Ming army pretended to be a lot of people, but unexpectedly, this prince saw through it!"

When his subordinates heard it, although they didn't have much impression, they still believed in the cleverness of their coach, and immediately flattered him.

Aurangzeb enjoyed this, and he was in a good mood, so he passed on his experience to his subordinates: "Generally speaking, the first city on the border is deployed with heavy troops, which is human nature. The commander of the Ming army is probably Using this bit of common sense, I wanted to play tricks. Thinking that our army should also know this, it would not attack this heavily guarded city, but instead attack the city in the hinterland of Goa. In this way, it happened that Ming The city is really heavily guarded by the army, so the Ming army may hold the city!"

Speaking of this, he sneered and said: "If the war lasts longer and we lose our spirit, the Ming army in this city will be able to follow our army's back. In this way, our army will be in danger! The tactics of the Ming army, But that's the case!"

Hearing this, all his subordinates suddenly realized that free flattery is like the water of the Yellow River. Well, the other princes are nothing but scum.

"Your Highness is so powerful, even if the Ming army is as cunning as a fox, it will be of no use at all!"

"My Mughal Empire has His Royal Highness, and I will definitely be stronger than the other!"

"Yes, Da Khan will be very pleased if he knows the true talent of His Highness!"

"..."

After talking for a while, some subordinates came to report that the siege equipment was ready.

When Aurangzeb heard this, he looked at the flag of the Ming army on the top of the city, and said with a sneer: "As expected by the prince, there are only so many Ming troops inside, and so many people are sent to take turns to be on duty, but it is wasting energy. City, when it comes down to battle!"

After speaking, he galloped to the front of the formation. After reviewing the infantry, he was about to order an attack when he realized that something was wrong. He saw a horse in the distance galloping towards him with a flag of [-] urgency on his back.

This surprised Aurangzeb. The first thing he thought of was, could it be that his father Khan lost the battle?

After being surprised, he came back to his senses. If his father was defeated, would he rush back to Delhi immediately?
In just a short period of time, Aurangzeb's thoughts revolved many circles around the gleaming golden sweater.

The messenger arrived in front of him in no time, rolled off his saddle and fell off the horse. Regardless of the dripping of sweat, he panted and said: "Your Highness, it's not good. The Ming army landed from the sea and is now marching towards Delhi. They are invincible. Your Highness, please come back immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he held the urgent letter with both hands.

Upon hearing this, Aurangzeb, like his men around him, immediately showed surprise on his face, and even a few of them opened their mouths wide in surprise!
Ming army... How could the Ming army suddenly appear in the hinterland?Are they not afraid of the imperial army, or do they know that the imperial army has left, but this is impossible in terms of time!

Unable to figure out the reason, Aurangzeb temporarily put it behind him, grabbed the letter and tore it open to read.

Ten lines at a glance, the content of the letter is more detailed than the messenger's verbal report. At least the strength of the Ming army, the approximate attack route, and the battles that have occurred, the combat power of the Ming army are probably described.

It can be said that the Ming army was indeed invincible.For the cities along the way, they fought as soon as they could be fought, and let them go if they found it difficult to fight. Anyway, in the wild, there was no opponent, and the soldiers were advancing straight to Delhi.This situation is just like in the original history, during the Chongzhen period, the Manchu and Qing troops entered the customs several times.

But one difference is that what the Ming army did in the hinterland of the Mughals was completely different from that of the Manchu Qing army.The Ming army did not plunder all supplies, plunder the population, and destroy everything that could be destroyed, but selectively targeted all the nobles of the Mughal Empire, and killed them when they caught them. Even some untouchables who could not survive could still get a little property from the seizures of the Ming army.

This is not bad!After Aurangzeb read it, he never looked at the city in front of him again, and immediately ordered the cavalry to be assembled, and he wanted to rush back to help Delhi.
