Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 324

Kangxi's study room is a bit like his south study room in the Forbidden City.Kangxi Dahan sat down behind a table covered with a yellow cloth, while Tu Hai stood talking to him.

"Tuhai, how is your business going?" Kangxi asked him with a smile.

"Thanks to the great Khan, the business has not yet opened."

It seems that this business of collecting and selling stolen goods is not easy to do.

Kangxi Khan and his men seem to be doing long-term business in India this time.It's not just a grab and go, so there's not much dirt to sell.

But Tuhai couldn't go back to the Central Plains, it wasn't that Kangxi Khan detained him.But not long ago, an imperial decree from Zhu Heqi was sent to Tuhai, who appointed him as the ambassador to Kabul.

There is no one in this way. While Ming and Mongolia are fighting, they still have diplomatic relations.

But in order to carve up India, it is not too much to do.

Besides, breaking off diplomatic relations and starting a war is a European rule, not applicable to Daming...Daming is an exception!

"Tuhai, there's a big deal now, do you want to do it?" Kangxi asked Tuhai with a smile.

"What big deal?" Tu Hai had to ask clearly.

If the matter involved betraying Daming's interests, he would have no guts.

Kangxi laughed and said: "As soon as the weather cools down, I will march into Lahore in a big way.

But now Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong, two thieves, lead 3 people to station there! "

Kangxi has now experienced India's top military strength.So he wasn't worried about Aurangzeb in Lahore at all.

However, the [-] army led by Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong was a little tough, and Kangxi didn't dare to touch it.

After all, his capital is limited, if he loses everything, he will not be able to control the situation.

But Kangxi's tone still seemed full of confidence, "Of course it's not that I can't beat them, but beating a dog depends on the owner, right?

Besides, how difficult is it for the underlings to come to India?Who among those soldiers didn't want to make a fortune?It's not worth throwing your life here! "

"Khan Shengming, it's really not worth throwing your life in India!" Tuhai immediately echoed, "And it's not Sanfan's style to go all out."

"Hahaha," Kangxi laughed a few times, and then said softly, "Fortunately, India is big enough to accommodate me and San Francisco!

Tuhai, I will tell you now, my heart is not so big now, I don't want to eat the whole of India, and I can't eat it.

I just want to live in the northwest of India, with Lahore as the eastern capital and Kabul as the western capital.

If you control the river in the north and take advantage of the Persians in the west, you will be satisfied! "

Kangxi's words are not completely false, he is indeed not going to eat the whole of India now... On the one hand, it is because there are too many tigers and wolves who have their eyes on this big piece of fat in India!

On the other hand, where does Kangxi know his roots?Central Asia's mid-river region, the Kazakh grasslands, and the Afghan plateau next to India are our roots.

If these sites are lost, Kangxi will not be able to continuously obtain fresh blood in Central Asia!

"That's it..." Tuhai calculated in his heart, "Wu Guogui, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Zhixin probably don't have the intention of unifying India. They are nothing more than greedy for Aurangzeb's money, and at most they want to occupy some points in Bangladesh." Cheap...but Aurangzeb does give a lot!

And the three of them still need some face..."

Kangxi smiled and waved his hands, "What do you need to show your face in order to share more of India's territory? I don't care about my face now, and a group of brahmins without clothes came to the meeting today. I still have to smile ?

Moreover, it won't make it too difficult for them to do...the scene that should be acted still has to be acted out. "

Tu Haidao: "Foreign ministers would like to hear the details."

Kangxi smiled: "I will take the elite of the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Qing Eight Banners, and the Confucian Eight Banners, pretending to bypass Lahore and go east...the three of them happened to ask for a battle and went out of the city to pursue.

Then, I will send Kazakh, Bukhara, Khiva, Afghan, Rajput, and Sikh troops to besiege Lahore.If I send some artillery to assist in the battle, we should be able to succeed.

Although this Aurangzeb is tyrannical and innocent, he is comparable to Emperor Sui Yang of India.But if he is gone...Wu Guogui and the three of them are afraid that they won't be able to divide Bengal? "

"This one……"

"Tu Hai, this is a big deal for traitors! It's not the first time Wu Guogui, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Zhixin have done it, right?"

"Khan Shengming! The foreign minister will leave for Lahore." Tuhai already knew at this time that the deal was likely to be successful.

The matter of betraying the country is also familiar with the second time.So going to San Francisco in India, there is no moral integrity at all!

……

Northwest India, Lahore.

When Tuhai hurried from Peshawar to Lahore.This famous capital in northwest India has become a huge construction site.

The city wall, which was originally thin and unable to withstand the shelling, has been thickened.There are also three trenches and a wall of sheep and horses that can be relied on for shooting outside the city.

Tuhai also saw officers and soldiers of the Pingxi Fan Army of the Ming Dynasty who were training Aurangzeb's army.The wilderness outside the city was full of Indian musketeers lining up... There were 3 to [-] people, all carrying bayonet-mounted flintlock guns!

Originally, Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong were still working very hard to help Aurangzeb train and deploy troops!

However, Tuhai still has the confidence to persuade the two of them to betray Aurangzeb!

"What? Ambassador Tu, what do you mean? Do you think I, Mr. Wu, can do the business of betraying friends and seeking glory?"

"That's right, Mr. Tu... The General and I have received a lot of money from Aurangzeb!"

Sure enough, Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong were not so easy to talk to.

Tuhai smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't hinder you from earning money! What Da Khan means is to act with you. As long as Aurangzeb is gone, the whole of Bengal will be in your pocket. When the time comes Afraid that there will be no money to envoy?

And Da Khan has already made arrangements, and I promise not to smash the golden signboards of the two when the time comes.Aurangzeb's son may still think of the two as good people! "

Hearing this, Wu Guogui became a little unhappy, "Lord Tu, I am a good person! Although I hanged Lord Yongli with a bowstring.

But I sent troops to protect Lord Yongli's Zi Palace before, and I have already destroyed Burma, so it can be regarded as revenge for his old man! "

Listening to Wu Guogui talking nonsense in a serious manner.Tu Hai felt a little bad, and said in his heart: "That Wu Guogui won't be too deep into the drama, won't he be able to get out? What should we do?"

Just thinking of this, Wu Guogui said again: "I can't just sell Aurangzeb for a little bit of territory in Bangladesh... unless the two sides can use Agra as the boundary!"

Chapter 769 Great Khan, the Indians will conquer India for you!

"Agra..."

In the Balahisar Castle, the Indian sage Kang Mazi the Great is in his Indian version of the southern study, bending over to find the location of the city of Agra on a map covered with desks.

His Hindu general Singh, Sikh guru Singh, Tianfang Scholar Katak, Prince Kang Jieshu, Fuyuan General Fei Yanggu, Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner (one of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty) Dutong Tong Guogang, the Confucian Eight Banners, the Zhenghuang Banner and Zhang Yong, and Tu Hai, who had just returned from Lahore, surrounded Emperor Kang Mazi together.

Seeing that Kang Mazi could not find Agra on the map, the Hindu Rajput general Singh immediately smiled and pointed to a city in the middle of the Hindustan Empire on the map, and then said to Kangxi in Persian: " Great Khan, this is Agra... This city is roughly located in the center of the Hindustan Empire. If you don't count the bad land on the Deccan Plateau, the Hindustan Empire is a northwest-southeast strip or ellipse It is a country shaped like a country. There are about [-] li between the Khyber Pass and Dhaka, the residence of the Governor-General of Bangladesh, almost all of which are plains, and there are two major rivers, the Indus and the Ganges, flowing through it, so It is very rich, and Aurangzeb’s court can collect [-] million rupees in taxes from this land every year!"

"A plain of five thousand miles, a tax of [-] million rupees..." Kangxi muttered in a low voice, "This India seems to be richer than China!"

Tuhai next to him responded with a smile: "Khan, the population of India is twice as large as that of Central Earth! Although there are many untouchables who don't seem to be regarded as human beings...but they are indeed willing to work hard, beat and scold, It’s much easier to manipulate than the troublemakers of Middle Earth.”

Kangxi nodded and said: "The good people in India are indeed much better than the bad people in the Central Plains. They regard the hardships in this life as retribution and practice. They are so unreasonable like the bad people in the Central Plains!"

"Great Khan," Katak, a senior scholar of the Tianfang Sect who can hear Mongolian, reminded, "You can't call those people good people... Even they themselves don't dare to call themselves 'good', they are all born low, They were born to suffer, this is their karma! If you treat them as good people, you may follow in the footsteps of Aurangzeb! The biggest mistake he and his ancestors made to India was I really don't like the behavior of Hindus...like burning widows!"

"I know, I know..." Kangxi nodded again and again, "I will never break the rules of India, let alone force untouchables to be good. And I also think Hindu widows can be burned!"

While talking, he glanced at the Hindu general Singh again, and said with a smile: "I guarantee that the Rajputs can continue to burn their widows...until they don't want to burn!"

His words were translated into Persian.General Singh showed a complimenting smile, "Your Majesty, you are so wise! You will win the love of every Rajput!"

Including the widow about to be burned?Kangxi Khan murmured in his heart.

He glanced at the young Sikh guru Singh again, and Singh said, "No Sikh widow can be burned! And Sikhs don't need a caste!"

His words were translated into Mongolian.

"Don't burn, don't burn..." Kangxi is very "democratic" now...Your widows, love to burn or not, anyway, it is impossible for widows in Mongolia, Manchuria and Confucian Eight Banners to burn, not only can't burn, but young can Those who are born have to remarry quickly!

But this Sikh Singh is also quite strange. This guy doesn't look like a Dalit or a Sudra, but a Kshatriya. I don't know why he wants to abolish caste and promote equality?

And what is even more puzzling is, why don't Hindu bitches join Sikhism together to overthrow the injustice that weighs on them?And many whores seem to be hostile to Sikhism...

I have to say that the national conditions of India still confuse Kangxi.

Fortunately, Kangxi is not a person who likes to dig into the horns and sweat profusely. He quickly put aside these unsolvable problems and started to study the matter of division.

"Do you think it's okay to use Agra as the boundary?" Kangxi asked in Mongolian, "If I lead troops to lure Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong's soldiers away, can you defeat Aurangzeb?"

Katak translated Kangxi's words into Persian.

"Great Khan," Hindu general Singh replied, "taking Agra as the boundary is enough to weaken the Hindustan Empire! Although the east of Agra is a very wealthy area, the Tianfang believers in India are mainly concentrated in the northwest. There are also some Tianfang believers in Bengal, but they are not the descendants of warriors from Afghanistan and the river area, but the Buddhists of the original Baltic dynasty. They lost their caste because they converted to Buddhism, so after the Tianfang religion’s Delhi Sultanate conquered there , converted to the Tianfang Sect in large numbers. However, these people’s combat effectiveness is very weak and they are not suitable for serving as soldiers. It is impossible for the Hindustan Empire to rely on them to maintain its rule... So once the Northwest is lost, the Hindustan Empire will inevitably disintegrate further!"

The Sikh guru Singh went on to say: "Great Khan, as long as the Sikh army and the Rajput army are united, it is enough to defeat Aurangzeb's army...not to mention There are Afghans, Bukharas, Khivas and Kazakhs to help! As long as you can lure the Ming army away, we will hand over Lahore to your hands!"

Is it that easy?

Kangxi still couldn't believe it.

"Great Khan," said the Grand Maester of Kathak with a smile, "you can absolutely trust Afghans, Rajputs and Sikhs... In fact, Aurangzeb's ancestors also relied on Afghans and Rajputs Man conquered India!

And the power you have now is far stronger than Babur and Akbar back then, and also stronger than the Tianfang Sect army directly under Aurangzeb.And you are more enlightened and merciful, all people will fight for you, please order! "

Kangxi Khan considered it for the last time, finally made up his mind, and loudly said to the ministers and generals in the study: "I will send troops to Lahore in a month's time! I only want the land between Lahore and Peshawar, and the rest The land will be distributed to meritorious ministers...and I will respect all the customs of Hindus, Sikhs and Tianfang believers! I will be more enlightened than Emperor Akbar!"

……

"Boom..."

With a loud noise, in the magnificent and beautiful Lahar Palace, the furious Aurangzeb slammed down the only table in the hall.

All his generals and courtiers trembled, looking at the skinny Alamgir who dared not say a word, only Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong, two foreign aids, looked at the supreme ruler of the Hindustan Empire for no reason.

Aurangzeb did not explain why he was angry, nor was he in the mood to continue today's meeting, but turned around and left quickly.

At this time, Wu Guogui asked Aamir Khan with a guilty conscience: "Old man, what happened?"

An officer translated his words into Persian, and Aamir Khan told Wu Guogui in blunt Chinese: "General, Kangxi Khan is gathering troops in Peshawar... many Rajput palaces and Sikhs, also There are Afghans, all on their way to Peshawar, and it looks like he's been able to muster a pretty big army!

Moreover, he also announced that he would be a more enlightened Indian emperor than Akbar the Great... He would respect the beliefs of Tianfang believers, Hindus, and Sikhs, and protect their interests. Land is used as a prize and given to meritorious soldiers.It looks like we're going to have a tough fight soon! "

Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong glanced at each other, and tried their best to put on a dignified expression.

Wu Guogui said in a calm voice: "Old man, please tell Alamgir that I, Lao Geng, Lao Shang and Kangxi Khan are mortal enemies...so let us deal with Kangxi Khan's personal soldiers!"

Chapter 770 Bollywood War!

November 1685, 9 in the Western calendar.

In the northwest of Lahore City, on the watchtower of the tall Alamgiri Gate of Lahore Castle, from the telescope in the hands of the 67-year-old Aurangzeb, the emperor of the Hindustan Empire, Lahore City On both sides of the Ravi River more than 20 miles away from the northwest, it was a spectacular scene of a large army marching in!

The Eight Banners Infantry of the brigade, with about 1000 participants as a unit, formed a large column after another, and passed the wide pontoon bridge that was erected on the Vila River at some time, and then from Lahe On the plain in the northwest of Ercheng, they marched to the southeast in a mighty manner.

These columns looked very neat. Thousands of fusiliers formed dozens of rows of small horizontal columns, and then formed a large column. All soldiers wore yellow, white, red, blue and other colors of military uniforms. , carrying bags, carrying bayonet-mounted flintlock guns, formed a tight team shoulder to shoulder, accompanied by the sound of drums with a strong sense of rhythm, so as to move forward at a walking speed.

Between the infantry columns, there are also a large number of horse-drawn cannons, cavalry wearing cloth face armor or chain mail, and a large number of vehicles loaded with various supplies, rumbling together.Around the marching team, there are still many scattered light cavalry, while guarding, while moving forward slowly.

However, the direction they were heading was not Lahore City, but passed through the northwest and north of Lahore City, and then turned to the southeast.It seems that they are going to bypass the city of Lahore and march directly towards Delhi!

And the scene of this march was extremely spectacular. The number of people standing on the tower of Lahore Castle and watching people who were a little out of breath was also surprising. The marching team was in Lahore. A brigade of forty or fifty li was pulled out from the northwest and north of Seoul, with flags of various colors billowing in the wind, and the marching team looked a bit endless. The total strength may have exceeded [-] long ago!

In addition to the "Five and Eight Banners" heavenly soldiers marching in with about 10 people, there are two huge camps under construction on both sides of the Vila River, and the two camps are also connected by pontoon bridges.Countless infantry were busy there, and large groups of cavalry stood guard outside the two camps.

However, the costumes of the infantrymen who are building the camp and the cavalrymen who are guarding around the camp are quite different from the "five-eight banner" heavenly soldiers who are marching in... Most of these soldiers are wearing all kinds of gaudy turbans, and there is no "five-eight banner" "The soldiers are so solemn and quiet, and they use all kinds of weapons. At a glance, they can be seen as "crowds" from India, Afghanistan, Hezhong, and Kazakh grasslands.However, there are quite a few of these "crowds", a large swath of black, and many people are driving along the Vila River from the upstream direction!

"Betrayal! Betrayal! Betrayal..."

Seeing the large pontoon bridge on the Werther River and the enemy troops approaching continuously along the Werther River, Aurangzeb finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a roar.

What made him angry was not Kangxi Khan's "Five and Eight Banners" heavenly soldiers, but those "Wuhe" and the pontoon bridge on the Weila River, which were too many to die!

Many of those "Uhe" came along the Vila River. You can tell by their big turbans that they are all local Sikhs in Punjab... The Punjab area where Lahore is located is the stronghold of Sikhs. There were many Sikhs living, all militant, rebelling from time to time at the instigation of their guru.And Aurangzeb has an uncompromising temperament, and he doesn't know whether to pull Hinduism against Sikhism, or pull Sikhism to beat Hinduism. Anyway, as long as it is not Tianfang religion, he will oppose it.Even if he is a member of the Tianfang religion, he doesn't like it if he is not pious enough.

If it hadn’t been for Kangxi Khan’s “Five and Eight Banners” heavenly soldiers and the British, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Rakshasa, and Pope’s Western allied forces to build up the Hindustan Empire, he would not have gone to Burma to ask for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.

But now there are too many Sikhs, Hinduism, and Afghan traitors... It seems to be more than Kangxi Khan's "Five and Eight Banners" soldiers!

Moreover, this group of people worked very hard to get many ships, transported a large amount of food for Kangxi Khan's army, and helped build two or three pontoon bridges across the Weila River.

In addition, these Indian traitors seem to be preparing to take on the task of guarding the city of Lahore, so that Kangxi Khan can lead his army to capture Delhi and even Agra.

There is no doubt that there will be Sikhs and Hindu lords along the way to lead the army of Kangxi Khan and provide supplies...

And the betrayal of these people made Aurangzeb, the emperor of India guarding the country, suddenly fall into a passive position!

Although he also concentrated an army of more than 25 people in Lahore, it still seemed that he was unable to defeat the enemies outside Lahore... Well, you can tell this at a glance!The skin color of Kangxi Khan's people is obviously whiter than that of Aurangzeb's!

Well, in the concept of Indians, the whiter the skin, the better the fight!This concept has not changed until the 21st century. The bad guys in those Bollywood movies are generally dark, and the good guys are fair and beautiful, and they are not politically correct at all...

And Kangxi Khan not only has white skins from Afghanistan and Central Asia, but also a small amount of Raksha white skins... so white that they are invincible!And Aurangzeb’s family no longer has the supply chain of the white-skinned lord in Central Asia. These years, they have relied on the native Indian Tianfang believers and Rajput princes (there are many Rajput generals, and Singh who took refuge in Kangxi just one of them) the army maintains.And although the skin of these people is whiter than that of the people on the Deccan Plateau in the south, it is definitely not as white as the people of Kangxi Khan.Therefore, if they want to leave the city for a decisive battle, I'm afraid they don't have much confidence.

In addition, those "colored armor" soldiers of Kangxi Khan looked too neat, which made Aurangzeb feel a little scared...it's not easy to fight!
