Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"No..." The hatred in Ge Erdan's heart!

Might as well kill it!

Sofia asked again: "Then he deprived you of your title? Confiscated your fief?"

"No..." Ge Erdan gritted his teeth, "but he asked me to hand over all the tribes that belonged to my elder brother Sengge to Sengge's three sons, that is, Cewang Arabutan and his two younger brothers. !"

"That's all?" Sofia's tiger eyes widened, carefully sizing Ge Erdan, as if she wanted to see through him.This Ge Erdan has a problem, there must be something important to hide from him!

"That's all..." Ge Erdan really felt guilty.

This Queen Sofia seems to be able to read people's hearts, and she is always aggressive when she asks questions, as if interrogating a prisoner. It is incomparable to Anu's gentleness and consideration... No, Anu is not a good person. I got it, I got it!

"What are you anxious about?" Sofia asked, "Your fief is still there, as are your wife and children. Those tribes belonged to your elder brother in the first place, so it's right to inherit it to your nephew!"

"But me, I..." Ge Erdan was so anxious that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.Kangxi Khan, who was slanted there not knowing what he was thinking about, also felt that something was wrong with him, so he sat up straight, looked at Ge Erdan and said, "Senior brother, don't worry."

Can you not be in a hurry?Ge Erdan was dying of anxiety!

The old nest has been taken away, the wife has been bought, and the nephew has to divide the family property... He, the Deputy Khan of Great Mongolia, will be homeless in the blink of an eye, can he not be anxious?

Kangxi saw that Ge Erdan was still looking like he was about to die, so he had no choice but to continue to think of ways to fool him - no fooling!

Kangxi Khan's expedition to Tianzhu has begun!He is now moving from Shifu City (Tashkent) to Samarkand, in addition to making room for his son's Western Qing Khanate, in order to command the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the three alliances of Bukhara, Khiva, and Kazakhs to clear the Afghan plateau.

Regardless of the fact that people on the Afghan plateau have been "professional printing" for two to three thousand years, but in the face of enemies coming from Central Asia, those people on the Afghan plateau have little energy to fight.

It’s not because Afghans’ Wude is not enough to meet Central Asians, and those “professional printing” tribes on the Afghan plateau, as long as they can follow the “printing”, they will not die with the strong men from Central Asia What the hell!

Being able to go to India to grab money and become a lord, it's too late to be happy, and you're still dead?The reason why the three empires of later generations rushed to Afghanistan was because there was no way to take the Afghans to "print", otherwise who would mess with Ta and what class?

Therefore, the "cemetery of empires" in Afghanistan does not exist at all for the nomadic or semi-nomadic empires based in Central Asia...Afghanistan is the gate for them to enter and exit India to grab money.

And the army sent by Kangxi Khan, who made it clear that he was going to "print", was of course very smooth in operations on the Afghan plateau.The Mughal governor, Aamir Khan, was originally a ruthless character in Afghanistan who wanted the wind and the rain.But as soon as Kangxi Khan's Huibaqi and soldiers from the three alliances of Bukhara, Khiva, and Kazakh arrived, they couldn't bear it anymore... After two defeats, the Afghan tribes below saw that "printing is hopeful", so They all defected and surrendered to Great Mongolia.Aamir Khan could only take the Rajput (Hindu) army sent to him by Aurangzeb to besiege Kabul.

Now the tens of thousands of troops commanded by Kangxi Khan's general Fei Yanggu are storming Kabul... Once Kabul is captured, Kangxi Khan will immediately leave Samarkand and station in Kabul, and then attack the Burr Pass.

So it is impossible for him to send troops to help Ge Erdan fight Guihua City now!

Moreover, Kangxi Khan had to have the courage to fight Zhu Heqi on the Monan grassland, so why did he go all the way to Samarkand?

In addition, since Kangxi Khan arrived in the Western Regions, he has a feeling of becoming a military god!It was so easy to beat anyone, and Tou Kehan ​​killed him in one hit!Fighting Aamir Khan now doesn't need heavenly soldiers at all, and sending some new troops over there will be devastating.

It was wrong for such a good military god to run back to the Monan Grassland to seek abuse?Kangxi only did this when he had a problem!

But he has to coax Ge Erdan back to carry thunder for Great Mongolia!

Thinking of this, Kangxi Khan's eyes turned around in the hall, and fell on a capable man.

This capable man is Zhou Peigong.He is now a scholar of the Western Qing Khanate, a minister of state affairs, and a minister of the Ministry of War.Kangxi knew that this guy had a lot of ghost ideas, and he was familiar with "Anti-Classic", so staying in Tashkent would definitely be a disaster, so he called him to his side to "advise and advise".

However, Kangxi still felt that this guy had bad luck, so he was still not at ease to let him enter Tianzhu with him.

Thinking of this, Kangxi beckoned to Zhou Peigong: "Peigong, come here and serve as the deputy Khan's staff."

"Whoo."

Zhou Peigong hurriedly went out to salute, and then said with a smile: "Vice Khan, Zhu Heyi's concern is nothing more than the fact that the Junggar Khanate is too vast and the population is too large, so there is a suspicion that it will be too big to lose. If the Vice Khan can pretend to agree to the The territory and the three nephews assigned to you by the people have returned to Huacheng as kings, and Zhu and Qi will probably not tear themselves apart with you. You can take this opportunity to send troops suddenly..."

As he spoke, he made a murderous gesture.

Ge Erdan's eyes lit up, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his face, he killed the adulterer... No, only kill the adulterer, the adulterer forgives again!

Kangxi looked back at Erdan Ge, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this person is my brains, resourceful, and good at using tricks... why don't you let him assist you!"

Chapter 744 Goodbye, Sofia!

In the 23rd year of Kangxi, the first day of July.

On the Registan Square in Samarkand, Kangxi Khan, who once again put on a parade armor, is standing under the huge and shocking gate of the Ugbek Academy, and his pregnant wife Sofia Yiyi Say goodbye reluctantly.

Today is the day when he led his troops to leave Samarkand and go to Kabul-just a few days ago, the victory report of Fuyuan General Fei Yanggu had been sent to Samarkand, reporting the capture of Kabul and severe damage to Aamir Khan's troops Tianzhu soldiers beheaded and captured more than [-] people.

In this battle, Amir Khan, the general of the Mughal state in India and the governor of Afghanistan, was almost wiped out, but he barely escaped under the leadership of a few soldiers.

Moreover, in order to save limited sugar, Kangxi did not "send sugar" to the new attached army commanded by Fei Yanggu, but let them attack Afghanistan in a "sugar-free mode".

Even in the sugar-free state, these miscellaneous troops commanded by Fei Yanggu still beat Aamir Khan's Indian soldiers fiercely!

Especially the queuing shooting and bayonet assault tactics of returning to the Eight Banners made Aamir Khan doubt his life.

So in Fei Yanggu's memorial, he simply said: "This is not a minister who is good at fighting, but the soldiers of Tianzhu are very weak!"

Since the Tianzhu soldiers are weak, Kangxi Khan has nothing to worry about.So he immediately decided to lead the elite soldiers of the Qing Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, and Confucian Eight Banners, together with the Cossack and Torghut cavalry led by Grand Duke Peter and Earl Golovin, a total of 15 people, marched to Kabul, and prepared to attack Kabul in one fell swoop. Burr Pass!

However, Kangxi Khan, who had the chance to win, didn't look very good, his face was pale, and he was very thin, as if he had been squeezed dry.

And his wife Sofia gained weight again after pregnancy, looking more like a giantess.Because she was about to bid farewell to her beloved Khan, Queen Sofia grinned and cried like a thunderstorm!

Sophia's wailing could be heard in the entire Registan Square. The Sauron cavalry, Xibe cavalry, and Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry who lined up in the square and waited for Kangxi Khan to issue the expedition order were all frightened by the thunderous cry. .Everyone was silent and cast admiring and sympathetic gazes at Kangxi Khan.

Kangxi Khan also tried his best to put on an expression of reluctance... Although he was very happy in his heart, he was finally able to go to Tianzhu to find a beautiful woman, and he also went to look for it with his brother-in-law, Grand Duke Peter.

But he can't anger Queen Sofia, because he still needs this shrew to watch the house for him!

His grandmother, Bumbutai, was very old, and she couldn't control the situation.As for Kong Shenggong, Yue Le, Jie Shu, Xiong Cilu, and Shi Lang, the important ministers of the Western Qing Khanate, Kangxi didn't trust them very much.Otherwise, he would not have moved from Tashkent to Samarkand... Kong Shenggong's Confucian Eight Banners are now settled in the former Tashkent area that has been renamed Shifu City.

In addition, there are still some people in the original Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, and Kazakh Khanate, and the current Bukhara League, Khiva League, and Kazakh League.

So Kangxi Khan can only let the shrew Sofia take a thousand Cossack mercenaries and five thousand Turghut cavalry to guard in Samarkand, so that no one is afraid that someone will dare to plot evil when the army goes south to "print".

"Sofia," Kangxi tried his best to maintain a reluctant expression, "Don't cry, don't cry, you will break your body, you are still pregnant with our child!"

"Woooo..." Sofia couldn't stop her tears, but her crying was a little softer.

Kangxi said to her again: "When I settle down in Kabul and break through the Khyber Pass, I will send someone to take you there.

I heard that Kabul is a good place, with a pleasant environment and a cool climate. In the early years, Babur, the founder of the Mughal Khanate, lived in Kabul for half a year after conquering half of India, and Rahal for half a year in North India.We will do the same at that time. If you are afraid of the heat, you will live in Kabul for a long time, and I will live in Rahal for half a year to preside over military and government affairs, and return to Kabul for half a year... How about playing and having fun together? "

"Half a year in Kabul, half a year in Lahar" is actually a common operation of the first and second generation ancestors of professional printing households.

After all, India is too hot, and printers from Central Asia can't stand it.Moreover, there are various diseases in India, and visitors from the north will not be able to adapt to it all at once.

So Kabul became their holy place for summer vacation.

Sophia was indeed afraid of the heat, so she was very happy to hear her husband's thoughtful arrangement. She finally stopped crying, nodded and said, "Khan, then I will wait for your good news in Samarkand." Then she stared fiercely, He patted his chest and promised: "With me in Samarkand, no one will make trouble! You can rest assured, Khan!"

"Okay!" Kangxi said with a smile, "I will rest assured of you alone...wait for my good news!"

It was good news for Kangxi and Sophia, but it was not good news for Aurangzeb who had returned to Delhi.

He hurriedly led his troops back from the Deccan Plateau after receiving the defeat report of his beloved general Aamir Khan.

Afghanistan is the gateway to Northwest India!Almost all the enemies who have invaded India since ancient times came from Afghanistan.

Now that Afghanistan has been captured by the enemy and the door of India is wide open, Aurangzeb of course has to put aside the matter of pacifying the Deccan Plateau and unifying the whole of India.

In the city of Derry, in a very plainly decorated palace.With a gloomy old face, Aurangzeb saw Aamir Khan who came to plead guilty to him.

"Your Majesty Alamgir, I have betrayed your trust, I am guilty..." Aamir Khan knelt at the feet of Aurangzeb, weeping, "But the army of Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia is unprecedentedly strong! Kazakhs, Buha The warriors of Ra and Khiva became his vassals.

Moreover, Kangxi Khan also has the most powerful Musketeers in the world.They were all armed with flintlock muskets, and were able to form very neat formations, bombarding our men with violent volleys.My people have no way to defeat them..."

Hearing Aamir Khan's sophistry for his failure, Aurangzeb was very annoyed, hummed heavily, and just wanted to have him thrown into prison.There was a rush of footsteps, and then the voice of his son Abadul Shah.

"Father, good news!" Abadur Shah walked in quickly from outside the hall, "News from Bangladesh... our reinforcements may have arrived!"

While speaking, he handed a letter to Aurangzeb, "This is a letter from Shasta Khan. The letter said that the army of the Ming Dynasty has been led by a general named Yongli Arrived in Arakan."

"What? They came so fast?" Aurangzeb was taken aback. "Are you sure they are here to help us?"

"Of course!" Abadur replied, "Da Ming and Great Mongolia are mortal enemies...they won't join hands to deal with us India, right? We have never offended him."

Aurangzeb nodded slightly: "I hope so!"

India has many enemies!

The court in Delhi has received word that the Dutch East India Company, the British Eastward Company, the French East India Company, and the Portuguese in Goa are now, somehow, all engaged.The coalition forces have been formed, and they want to join forces with Kangxi and Han to deal with Mughal!

If Daming also becomes India's enemy, then Aurangzeb really has no hope...

Chapter 745 Aurangzeb is about to zoom in!

Thinking that he and the Mughal Empire of India are facing internal and external troubles and the unfavorable situation of enemies from all sides, Aurangzeb, the great emperor of the Mughals, is going to make a big move!

Although Aurangzeb left his successor a mess, he has not yet met Allah, his empire has not been exhausted by endless Deccan wars, and he has a lot of money for the rich Ganges in the north, India. Control of the river basin remains strong.

He still possesses the most evil and most corrupting weapon in the world-the evil money!

And he also has a capable minister who is best at using money to buy the enemy, that is, Aamir Khan who is kneeling at his feet to plead guilty.

"Amir!" Aurangzeb's cold voice rang in Amir Khan's ear.

Aamir Khan quickly lay down at Aurangzeb's feet, shivering, sweat dripping down the tip of his nose to the ground.

"Go to Miaowu City," Aurangzeb sternly said, "You must bring His Excellency Yongli of the Ming Empire to our side... Otherwise, you will not come back alive to see me!"

Aamir Khan quickly replied: "Your Majesty Alamgir, thank you for your trust in me. This time I will not disappoint your trust. In order to ensure the success of winning His Excellency Yongli, I hope you can generously give him 100 million meet and greet."

Aurangzeb snorted: "No, 100 million is too little... I will give 300 million!"

The "one million" and "three million" mentioned by Aamir Khan and Aurangzeb refer to silver rupee coins. A silver rupee coin weighs three cents, and three silver coins are equivalent to one tael of silver or a silver dollar of Ming Dynasty .

Aurangzeb gave 300 million rupees at a time, which is equivalent to giving 100 million silver dollars... This is just a meeting gift!

Although this Aurangzeb is very picky about himself, he is not willing to eat or wear, he seems to be a pauper.But in fact he is the richest man in the world in this era!And he is the "dry richest man" without bubbles.Because the country he rules now has a population of nearly 5000 million, and its fiscal revenue exceeds [-] million rupees... Aurangzeb only spent one percent of his annual income to buy "Yongli".

Although the area of ​​the empire ruled by Zhu Hexi was much larger than that of Aurangzeb, it was vast and sparsely populated. If Japan was not counted, its population was only 6000 million, and its annual fiscal revenue was only [-] to [-] million silver dollars. Almost half of the Mughal in India.

Although relying on the financial system centered on Dongyinqianchang, Dongchang Guanyinhao, Penglai Yinhao and Nanyang Yinhao, a large amount of funds can be raised in a short period of time.But those are all borrowed debts that have to be repaid... and the income of just over [-] million rupees owned by Aurangzeb's Mughal Empire is real "hard finance"!

Although Kangxi Khan's invasion dealt a heavy blow to the defense of the Mughal Empire in India, it was very beneficial to Aurangzeb's finances, at least in the short term.Because Afghanistan, captured by Kangxi Khan, has always been a place to spend money to buy peace.Those Afghan tribal chiefs not only will not pay taxes to Aurangzeb, but also have to get subsidies from Aurangzeb.

Now that Kangxi Khan has taken Afghanistan, Aurangzeb will naturally not have to give subsidies to the chiefs of Afghanistan, which may save several 100 million!

In addition, after Kangxi Khan conquered Afghanistan, Aurangzeb also had to end the costly Deccan War, which was not worth the loss. Just look at the map of India to know what the Deccan Plateau is like!

Compared with the oil-rich Great Plains in northern India, the Deccan Plateau located in the south-central part of the Indian subcontinent is a rotten land with complex terrain and harsh climate, that is, the coastal areas on both sides of the plateau look pretty good.

But what Aurangzeb wants is to completely conquer the Deccan Plateau, and it is best to turn those Hindus living in the Deccan Plateau into Tianfang believers.Therefore, the war on the Deccan Plateau was a long, hopeless, and costly battle.Even the Mughal Empire of India, which had a financial income of [-] million rupees, was finally dragged into bankruptcy by this long war.

Therefore, ending the Deccan War early is simply a great benefit for the finances of the Mughal Empire!

Now that Aurangzeb has real financial freedom, he can use evil money to bribe Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong who just broke into the Kingdom of Arakan.

And just when Aamir Khan was taking 300 million rupees of evil money to Miaowu City, the capital of the Arakan Kingdom, Sir Childe, the governor of the British East India Company, had already brought his kilometers, justice, and A military dispatch contract that Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong could not understand at all, and [-] silver coins were escorted to the palace in Miaowu City.

That's right, it was brought here under escort, and he was tied up heavily, and the wig on his head was also ripped off, revealing a bald head.

This Sir Chard is really unlucky, he didn't come to Miaowu City to contact General Wu under the command of "Yongli Lord", he came to discuss with the King of Arakan about sending troops to seize Chittagong— —He said well to the king of Arakan before that after the capture of Chittagong, the two sides will govern together. The East India Company will manage the port and trade, and other places will belong to Arakan.In addition, the East India Company also promised to give the Kingdom of Arakan [-] silver rupees as a down payment.

But when he came back to Miaowu City with the silver rupee, the Kingdom of Arakan was gone!

In the blink of an eye, that big Arakan was gone!

And even Myanmar next door to Arakan is gone!

Both countries were conquered by the army led by "Yongli Lord" sent by the Ming Empire...

And this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the Ming army guarding the port of Miao U did not stop Sir Chard's ship when it entered the port. Ship inspection to see if there are any contraband.

Sir Child didn't know that Arakan had been conquered, so he sternly refused and ordered the gun ports on the ship to be opened!

The British East India Company is powerful, and a country like Arakan must learn to abide by the rules based on strength established by the company.

As a result, the Ming army guarding the port brought a single-barreled rocket launcher, and then aimed at the armed merchant ship and fired a rocket. With a "boom", the side of Sir Chard's armed merchant ship was blown out. Big hole.

Only at this time did Sir Child realize that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked someone to unfurl a white banner...

So he was treated as a pirate and tied up in front of Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong.

"Hmph, what a reckless pirate, who dares to trick me... Someone, pull him out and chop him!"

Wu Guogui had never seen any foreign devils, and he didn't know about the East India Company or the West India Company, and he couldn't understand the foreign language contract, and he wasn't interested in interrogating them, so he ordered the beheading.

"Order!"

The soldiers of the Wu family who escorted Chard and others responded, and rushed forward like a ghost to drag them out and kill them.This frightened Childe, and quickly shouted in Mandarin Chinese: "Don't kill me, I have money..."

Hearing that he was rich, Wu Guogui quickly waved his hands to tell his own soldiers to kill slowly.

"Tell me, who are you? What are you doing here in Miaowu City?" Wu Guogui asked calmly, "Also, you obviously know how to speak human language, so why were you talking nonsense just now?"

"Don't kill me, I have money..."
