Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

But Aurangzeb can't hold on now. Although Rahal has been repaired very firmly, once Kangxi Khan takes Delhi and Agra, the Hindustan Empire will be over.

Considering that Kangxi Khan's people are quite white, and there are many Sikhs and Hindu princes who betrayed the Hindustan Empire... Aurangzeb couldn't believe the scene when Kangxi Khan's soldiers came to Delhi.

"Your Majesty Aramgil!"

Just as Aurangzeb was trying to calculate the strength comparison between the two sides, Wu Guogui's voice suddenly rang out.

Aurangzeb hurriedly looked back at this "very white and capable of fighting" Chinese... Although Wu Guogui is a Han Chinese and has been in the army for many years, he has been exposed to the wind and the sun, but he just can't get tanned!The complexion is fairer than many fair skins.And his looks are also good-looking. How can Wu Tu's father, the number one beauty in Yunnan, be any different?

"Please let me lead my troops to follow Kangxi Khan's army... I will try to entangle Kangxi Khan's main force for a period of time, at least ten days for you." Wu Guogui immediately proposed that he had already discussed with Kangxi Khan The way... He took 3 people to follow Kangxi Khan's 10 people.

In this way, Kangxi Khan's direct line and Ming's expeditionary army left the battlefield together.The next battle of Lahore will be fought by Indians, Afghans, and Central Asians... Of course, there will be some artillery from the "Five and Eight Banners" to provide fire support, and some Raksha Cossacks will be in charge. Press down.

Aamir Khan immediately translated Wu Guogui's words into Persian—he was actually not good enough to be a translator, but Wu Guogui had already handed him a note.

Aamir Khan then made a suggestion: "Your Majesty Alamgir, there are now 25 troops in Lahore. If General Wu takes away his 3 troops, there will be 22 left. And Kangxi Khan left The army outside Lahore is only about [-].

22 to [-]... Our advantage is great!If we can win, Kangxi Khan's army will be alone and it will be impossible to continue to advance towards Delhi. "

Aurangzeb frowned--India's war is not reliable just by relying on a large number of people, and it still has to be whiter than the skin... But now he has no good way.So he could only nod his head and said: "Tell General Wu, as long as he can entangle Kangxi Khan for ten days, I will give him an extra reward of 1000 million rupees, half of which can be given first!"

Chapter 771 Aurangzeb is dying!

The afternoon of September 1685, 9 in the Western calendar.

Outside Lahore, on the Vila River.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." There was once again the harsh sound of rocket launches from the surrounding battlefield, and then three or four hundred rockets roared towards the right wing of the Mughal army from all directions with a terrifying tail flame. .As the rocket hit the ground and exploded, the right wing of the Mughal army fell into chaos again - that was the main attack direction of the Mongolian coalition forces commanded by Feiyangu, Zhang Yong, Katak and the two Singhs!

From the morning of the 20th, after the more than [-] troops of both sides started in the Vila River, the Mongolian Allied Forces unabashedly placed the main attack direction on their left flank, that is, the Mughals without the cover of the Vila River. The right wing of the army-since the armies of both sides are "rabble" with a low degree of organization, it is impossible to implement an overly complicated combat plan.Therefore, Fei Yanggu, who had grown up in the Ming and Qing wars, and the old and strong Zhang Yong, went directly to the simplest style of play, concentrating superior forces and firepower, and staring at some of the soldiers who were loyal to Aurangzeb. The right flank of the Mughals stationed by the troops commanded by General Japt repeatedly attacked with artillery (rockets), infantry, and cavalry.

That is, after the artillery (rocket launcher) hits the infantry and rushes, the infantry comes down and the artillery (rocket launcher) continues to bombard!

At the same time, they also dispatched powerful Cossack cavalry, Kazakh cavalry, Turghut cavalry, and Horqin Mongolian cavalry to outflank the Mughals. Among these cavalry, the Cossack cavalry and Horqin cavalry were also equipped with some Tekken bazooka used by soldiers!

This Mongolian version of the iron fist was imitated from the iron fist of the Ming army picked up from the battlefield.Because the propellants filled in the Tekken bazooka are all black powder, the cost is relatively low, and storage is quite easy, and their range is a little bit farther than ordinary bows and arrows.So it is very popular with the "low sugar" Mongolian army!

In the battle on the 20th, the Cossack cavalry and Horqin cavalry equipped with imitation iron fists became a nightmare for the Mughal army!After the friendly forces repelled the Mughal cavalry, they rushed to the position of the Mughal army, and fired a burst of iron fist rockets outside the range of their matchlock guns and bows, blowing up the formation of the Mughal army. To cover the charge of other cavalry units.

And when these brave "iron fist cavalry" fired their iron fists, the rocket artillery group deployed on the left flank of the coalition forces would also launch rockets at the same time under the command of a hot air balloon in the sky.

Although the hundreds of sugar rockets (most of which are relatively small iron fists) did not cause much damage, they could cause great confusion to the Mughal army every time.Taking advantage of this confusion, the infantry and cavalry of the Mongolian coalition forces will launch a wave of pounce!

Fortunately, the infantry and cavalry of these Mongolian coalition forces also have limited combat effectiveness. The infantry is not very good at lining up and shooting, and there are not many flintlocks.Cavalry don't know how to charge against the wall, and they also like to fight hand-to-hand after rushing into the enemy's line, rather than repeatedly attacking.

Therefore, Aurangzeb can also rely on its own numerical advantage to send reinforcements to the precarious right wing.

But Aurangzeb couldn't reverse the situation of being passively beaten. With the increasing casualties of the troops, the mercenaries under him who were supported by high military salaries were finally on the verge of collapse.

The right wing of the Mughals was already littered with corpses, and there was a tragic scene of imminent defeat everywhere.The Rajput troops were also defeated several times. If Aurangzeb hadn't sent his personal guards to supervise the battle and forced them to return to the battlefield, the Mughal army might have moved from the right. collapsed.

But Aurangzeb also knew that he had no way to defeat his opponent, but he would not evacuate the battlefield easily—now was not the time to retreat, and he had to wait until dark to evacuate under the cover of night.Otherwise, the retreat is likely to turn into a collapse.

Once Aurangzeb's army collapses outside Lahore, it will become a luxury to hold on to Lahore... and it will take at least ten days (about 400 kilometers) to escape from Lahore to Delhi, and there is still a need to pass through Sikhs. The Punjab region is full of believers.So whether Aurangzeb himself can escape is a problem!

In order to prevent the collapse of his subordinates, Aurangzeb has now personally reached his right wing.Most of his guards had already been sent out, forming a line outside a village where he was located, all of them carrying machetes, and the Rajput soldiers of the brigade retreated and were stopped by them.Aurangzeb's son, Bahadur Shah, ran behind the line under the escort of a troop of cavalry, announcing rewards loudly, and ordered the defeated troops to return to the front line.

"One hundred rupees... just give me one hundred rupees if you persist till night!"

The reward of one hundred rupees is really not low, but the Rajputs who have persisted for a long time have long since lost their desire to fight... They are just the Indian version of the Green Battalion, because the Mughal Dynasty lost the Central Plains. Asia's "lord's supply" became the military backbone of the Hindustan Empire during the time of Akbar the Great.

But their combat effectiveness can also suppress the local rebellion. How can they resist the "white-skinned heavenly soldiers" from Central Asia and Afghanistan?What's more, these "white-skinned soldiers" also have terrible rockets and hot air balloons!Although there have always been rockets in India, they have also seen the hot air balloons of the Ming army in Lahore, so they were not scared to death... But the hot air balloons and rockets still enhanced the combat power of the Mongolian coalition forces. The special people are really overwhelmed.But because Aurangzeb came up to supervise the battle in person, they did not dare to escape, but were blocked here abruptly. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "His Majesty Alamgir is here!"

It turned out that Aurangzeb came out of the village, and he was going to personally cheer up the people below, so he had to carry it until dark!

Although already anxious, this Indian "conqueror of the world" still maintains a very calm demeanor, as if everything is still under control.

But before he rode his beloved folding-eared BMW around behind the front line, those Rajputs who were blocked and unable to escape suddenly shouted like crazy.

"Mongols! The Mongols are coming!"

Aurangzeb sounded a little strange, thinking that the Mongols had arrived long ago, and they have been calling since the morning...

At this time, his son Bahadur Shah also shouted anxiously: "Father, the Mongols, the Mongols are behind us!"

behind?

Aurangzeb hurriedly looked back, but he didn't see the Mongols...but he saw the dust all over the sky, and vaguely, he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes among all the noises!

The sound of horseshoes became louder and denser, and finally turned into a "boom boom boom". At this time, Aurangzeb could clearly see groups of Eight Banners cavalry under the dust!

It turned out that Kangxi Khan of the Great Mongolian Kingdom led his cavalry to throw off Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong (their troops were mainly infantry) and rushed all the way, and finally rushed to Aurangze before dark. Near the right side of the cloth army!

The Mongolian coalition forces on the battlefield also found that their own reinforcements had arrived, so they no longer held back their strength and immediately launched a general offensive!

The sound of gunfire on the battlefield suddenly became more intense, and there was a crackling sound. There was also the sound of long live shouted by the Mongolian coalition army in several languages, coupled with the cry of the Mughal army, the whistling sound Rolling across the plain on the east bank of the Vila River, it has been rolling towards the magnificent ancient city of Lahar.Everything Aurangzeb saw turned gray.

Following who shouted first, "The Mongols are coming... run!" The Mughal army, which had been in panic for a long time on the battlefield, collapsed instantly, and the defeated soldiers rushed towards the emperor of the Hindustan Empire. In a short time, he and his personal soldiers were completely swallowed up!

Chapter 772 Kangxi sweats profusely!

Kangxi wins!

This time I really won!

First of all, diplomacy wins first. Although he has not been the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for several years, the imperialists still regard him as a good friend.England, Holland, France, Portugal, Sweden, and even the Pope of Rome all came to form an alliance with him. Princess Sofia of the Raksha Kingdom simply married him, and even the young Peter came to study with him.

What is even more exaggerated is that even the original enemy Daming also sent an ambassador to Peshawar, and adopted a very "pragmatic" stance on the issue of the Mongolian conquest of India...

Then there is the political win again, thanks to Aurangzeb, the most hated emperor of Hindustan, he has already got the character set of the enlightened emperor before he has a decisive battle with Aurangzeb, and everyone regards him as Ah Keba is second, full of expectations for him.So Kangxi Khan, who was obviously playing away, actually got the home court advantage in the Punjab area.

In the end, of course, it was a big military win!

Aurangzeb, who has fought for most of his life, did not actually accumulate much combat power for his army... Although India is rich in brown sugar, his army is still in the middle of the black powder era, and has entered the "low sugar era". Compared with the Mongolian army, it is two eras behind.Moreover, Aurangzeb's army is relatively weak even if it is measured by the standard of "the middle of the black powder era".Not only is it inferior to the Ottoman Empire, but it is even inferior to Persia, which has undergone military reforms (imitating Europe), and even lost to war scum like Bukhara in the early wars that sent troops to Central Asia!

Such an army can withstand the continuous attack of the Mongolian coalition forces with only half of their number under the serial bombardment of the sugar rockets and the Weiyuan artillery of the Mongolian army and the light general artillery. It is worthy of the high military salary offered by Aurangzeb.

Therefore, when the [-] "Five and Eight Banners" cavalry led by Kangxi Khan "broken their promises" to throw off the Ming army and marched to the battlefield in a hurry, it was time for a big win.

These cavalrymen became the straw that broke the camel's back.With one blow, Aurangzeb's army was defeated across the board!

Even Aurangzeb himself was "swallowed" by the defeated Rajput soldiers, and his whereabouts are unknown... Most of them died in the chaos.

However, Aurangzeb's "pawn" is not the greatest victory that Kangxi Khan achieved in this great battle. The greatest victory he achieved was the city of Lahore, the former capital of the Hindustan Empire!

This is really a win!

On the evening of September 1685, 9 in the Western calendar, Kang Mazi, who had won numbness, was finally welcomed by the residents of Lahore. He led his 23 "Five and Eight Banners" cavalry, and marched into the city with ten thousand troops. Four city gates, Lahore with magnificent temples and palaces can be seen everywhere in the city!

The ancient city of Lahore, which was built more than 1000 years ago, has always been the bustling central city in northwest India. The climate here is absolutely pleasant in India, and there is plenty of rain, the surrounding countryside is fertile, and there is the Vila River - the Indus River enough water to support a large population.Lahore in the middle of the Mughal Dynasty is definitely the heyday in Lahore's history.Aurangzeb's father, Shah Jahan, and mother, Ajman Banu (owner of the Taj Mahal), once lived in Lahore for a long time.

Under the order of Shah Jahan, the city of Lahore has received a lot of investment, and beautiful buildings have sprung up one after another.The Lahore Castle, which originally existed only as a fortress, has also been continuously modified and rebuilt, and gardens, fountains and palaces have been expanded, making this castle a new look and becoming a resplendent royal palace.

And this resplendent Lahore Castle is now the palace of Kangxi Khan!

"Hahaha……"

Kangxi Khan's hearty laughter came from the main hall of Lahore Castle.

Ever since he lost the city of Beijing, Kangxi has never laughed heartily...until today!

"King Kang, Fei Yanggu, Tong Guogang...you all tell me how the city of Lahore compares to the city of Beijing?"

Kangxi saw that he had gone through hardships with him, and now he has entered the confidant of Lahore Castle, and asked questions with a smile.

"Back to Da Khan," Kang Wang Jieshu, like Kangxi, laughed from ear to ear, "Beijing city is not as prosperous as Lahore... In the few years before we left Beijing, the permanent population in Beijing 20 is not enough.

I think the city of Lahore has a population of at least 40... and the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by abundant food, and extremely convenient transportation.It is really the residence of the emperor, the home of the emperor. "

"Khan," Fei Yanggu, who has now grown into the number one under Kangxi's command, said with a smile, "I also think Lahore is a treasure land. Although there are no natural dangers to rely on, the advantage is that there is sufficient food and convenient transportation. With this as the capital, we will go out to fight everywhere, and with the great Khan's brilliance and martial arts, within a few years, we will definitely be able to dominate Tianzhu!"

Kangxi just smiled, "My General Fei, now is not the time to get carried away!"

"Khan, it's not that I'm too proud," Feiyangu said with a smile, "it's that the soldiers of Tianzhu are too weak... Aurangzeb claims to be good at fighting, and his soldiers are just like that. They are no match for our Eight Banners at all. !"

Tong Guogang, Kangxi's eldest cousin, also took the opportunity to say: "Khan, that Hindustan Empire seems to be over... Tianzhu's side is our Mongolian family, and the Westerners are fighting with the remnants of the San Francisco. There are no two tigers on this mountain, even if we don't have the intention to unify Tianzhu, Wu Guogui probably will, right?"

This is the way of unification, and of course Kangxi also likes it.

But he also knows that now is not the time for unification.

So Kangxi smiled and said: "After all, Tianzhu is not China, and it has never been unified in history... If I want to do it, it will be the work of the First Emperor.

This great cause of the first emperor's unification of the world was managed step by step by more than 30 generations of monarchs of the Qin Kingdom.And I have just gained a firm foothold in Tianzhu, so it is too early to consider this matter.

Moreover, Zhu Ming will fall out with Westerners sooner or later because of India's oil and water... Only then will we have a chance to fight. "

Kangxi seems to be looking forward to unifying India!

After all, he was also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who almost unified China.

However, he also knew that Zhu and Qi would not easily let go of this piece of fat in India.Moreover, the Western countries that covet the wealth of India will not be willing to see the great Mongolia dominate India.

So if Kangxi wanted to act recklessly, he might not be able to follow in the footsteps of Aurangzeb.

Regarding the matter of "unifying India", Kangxi was not in a hurry at all.

"The top priority now," Kangxi thought, "we still have to turn Lahore into the capital city of the Mughal Khanate as soon as possible! At the same time, turn Kabor into the summer capital of the Mughal Khanate.

Our Mughal Khanate is still an empty name now!

In addition, all the court officials and family members of various banners who are stranded in Samarkand must be moved to live in Kabul or Lahore as soon as possible..."

Speaking of this, Kangxi's originally happy mood suddenly sank, still like a cliff.

Because there is also a Princess Sophia in Samarkand!

Thinking of her, Kangxi Khan was a little terrified... At this moment, he suddenly heard Xiao Guizi's shout: "Khan, good news, the queen is coming soon!"

Chapter 773 Ai Shunchang, Peter the Little Emperor

In Lahore Castle, inside the majestic Aramgiri Gate, Kangxi Khan is wearing a thin yellow gauze embroidered four-ball golden dragon jacket, a straw hat, and his wife who is much bigger than himself Sofia, perform together and cry together.

The "Little Peter", who has grown a lot taller and looks more handsome, is also crying along with him.

Father-in-law Xiaoguizi was still holding a white and fat little baby, and he explained to the three of them, "My condolences go with the changes, people cannot be resurrected after death..."

Kangxi also showed sadness, and persuaded him together: "Sofia, Brother Fyodor is a devout God worshiper. After death, his soul will definitely ascend to the heaven of longevity, and he will be with his brother Jesus forever, and enjoy bliss forever. "

It turned out that Sofia's older brother, Tsar Fyodor III, had died.Because of the life-extending garlic medicine, the frail and sickly tsar lived four years longer than in history.This year, that is, in February of 1685 in the Western calendar, he died of illness in the Kremlin in Moscow.However, during the past four years, the Tsar's health has been very weak, so he has no heirs.

After the death of Fyodor III, only the czar’s idiot brother Ivan, smart brother Peter, sister Sofia, and Sofia’s son can inherit the throne of the tsar after the death of Fyodor III. A fat baby, this child was born when Kangxi went to Kabul, and this is the first time Kangxi saw him, so he didn't have a formal name, only a foreign name named Nicholas.

And Sofia rushed from Samarkand to Peshawar for the succession of the tsar. Peter has been learning "magic" from Kangxi for the past two years. Kangxi not only taught him personally, but also let his "Queen Master" enlighten the real person Zhang Hongtian also served as his teacher, teaching him all kinds of Chinese spells.

This time Kangxi sent troops to attack Aurangzeb and brought Peter with him, which made him experience a real war!

Sofia did not see her brother Peter in Peshawar, and learned that Kangxi Khan had captured Lahore, so she brought her son Nicholas and came to Lahore happily.When I arrived outside the gate of the Lahore Castle, I saw Kangxi Khan, who had been thinking about it day and night, and his younger brother Peter coming out together, so he burst into tears.

Kangxi originally wanted to hug Nicholas, but now he has no choice but to comfort his wife while leading her into the magnificent and magnificent Lahore Castle... This is now the love nest of Kangxi and Sofia!

There are 21 beautiful buildings in the castle, the most majestic of which is the Forty-Pillar Hall in the middle of the castle - where Kangxi Khan held his court meeting now.There is also a marble pilgrimage platform outside the Hall of Forty Columns.At both ends of the pilgrimage platform are a square where a grand pilgrimage can be held and a small stage set in a pool.

In addition, in the Lahore Fort, there is also a harem called the Mirror Palace, which is the love nest built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Ajman Banu.It's a pity that the house has not been built yet, and Ajman Banu has already died of dystocia.And Aurangzeb didn't like this luxurious style, so this mirror palace like a palace in the sky was cheaper for Kangxi Khan and Sofia.

The husband and wife, together with the future Peter the Great and Xiao Guizi, who was hugging a chubby snoring sleeper, finally walked into the meeting hall of the Palace of Mirrors together...Kangxi called this "South Study Room".

Kangxi, Sofia, and Peter all took their seats, and Xiao Guizi, whose hands were sore from holding the baby, called two Indian maids and asked them to put the little fat boy in a large cradle first, and then ordered another maid Go to the kitchen and fetch a large plate of samosas and a bottle of wine.

Sofia ran all the way, and she cried sadly just now, but she was really hungry, and now she forgot her grief when she saw the food, drank wine and ate this curry puff, and she really felt better.

As soon as she was in a good mood, Sofia started to talk about business, and she said in Mongolian: "Khan, according to the tsar's will and the decision of the Moscow Duma meeting, Peter will become the next tsar!"

While talking, she glanced at her little brother.

In history, she once instigated the shooting army to rebel against little Peter, made the fool Ivan the great czar, and turned Peter into a nondescript little czar...but now she needs a strong natal family to support her position beside Kangxi Khan, This person can only be Peter, not Ivan.

So the sibling relationship between Sofia and Peter has been excellent in the past two years.

Kangxi also knew that Ivan was a fool, and he had a good relationship with Peter.Peter is not only his brother-in-law, but also his student, and Kangxi also fell in love with Peter at the beginning...

Looking at the more handsome Peter again, Emperor Kangxi sighed—how good would it be if the looks of the siblings were changed?

Although he was reluctant to part with his brother-in-law, Kangxi still knew that national affairs should be the most important thing, so he said to Peter: "Peter answered, since Fyodor and the Duma meeting have elected you as the new tsar, then don't delay... ...A country cannot live without a king, this matter is also afraid of long nights and dreams!"

He paused, and then pointed at Little Guizi's father-in-law, "I'll ask Tong Guowei to escort you back to Moscow with a thousand cuirassiers from the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria and a thousand light cavalry from the Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia!

I also seized Aurangzeb's vault in Lahore, which was full of silver rupees, probably tens of millions!I'll get you some more later, so I can reward you when I go back to Moscow.

In addition, although you are extremely smart, you are young after all, so don't be in a hurry to take charge of the government after you go back... I was too early to take charge of the government, lack of experience, and I suffered a lot.So you should let the minister and your mother regent first, and you learn a little more knowledge, and then you will be in charge when you grow up, and you will definitely become a wise king. "

"Answer Kangxi, thank you." Emperor Peter nodded gratefully, "I will remember your teachings, and I will definitely lead the Rakshasa Kingdom to become a great power in the West in the future, recover Constantinople, and rebuild the Roman Empire. !"
