On the endless plains of Delhi, Li Yan was leading the main force of the 2nd Cavalry Corps to advance like a wind and the remaining clouds.
After learning that Zhu Cijiong had led the 4th Cavalry Division alone and penetrated deep into Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, Li Yan was really shocked. After he reacted, he quickly summoned the main force of the 2nd Cavalry Corps to rush for reinforcements.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army has a crushing advantage compared to the Mughal army, Li Yan has learned from the Nepalese people that the Mughal Empire was also a powerful empire, especially its population even before the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the population of the Mughal Empire was at least hundreds of millions.
For such a populous empire, Zhu Cijiong went deep into it with only one division.
Once the cavalry division led by Zhu Cijiong fell into a tight siege, Li Yan couldn't bear to think about the consequences.
Therefore, after receiving Zhu Cijiong's telegram, Li Yan left a cavalry brigade to garrison Kadumande, and then quickly brought reinforcements with the main force of the 2nd Cavalry Corps and the newly recruited Gurkha Cavalry Brigade.
The Gurkha Cavalry Brigade is mainly composed of Gurkhas.
In the previous war to annihilate the Malla dynasty, the Gurkhas showed extremely strong fighting power.
What particularly surprised Li Yan was that the Gurkhas showed extraordinary recognition of the Ming Dynasty. The leader of the Gurkhas, Prithvi, even offered to bring his people as a servant army to assist the Ming Dynasty.
military.
Naturally, Li Yan would not refuse such a request and immediately incorporated it into the Gurkha Brigade.
After marching towards Delhi, Li Yan even asked the Gurkha Brigade to be the vanguard because of language reasons.
The Gorkha Brigade did not disappoint Li Yan's expectations and was almost unstoppable along the way.
Along the way from Kathmandu to Delhi, the Gorkha Brigade opened roads through mountains and built bridges when encountering water. When they encountered town passes guarded by the Mughal Army, they directly captured them without the Ming army having to take action.
Well, this is actually not because the Gorkha Brigade is powerful.
The main reason is that the Mughal prince Aurunzeb took away almost the entire regular army of the empire. Those who stayed in various princely states or city-states were temporarily recruited strong men, and their equipment was pitifully poor. They lacked training and equipment.
The militiamen were naturally unable to defeat the brave and well-equipped Gurkha Cavalry Brigade.
Although the progress was very smooth, Li Yan was still worried.
Because the 4th Cavalry Division led by Cavalry Zhu Cijiong suddenly lost contact.
This has to make people worry, is the 4th Cavalry Division being attacked?
Just as Li Yan was worried, dozens of riders suddenly came back from the front like a whirlwind of clouds.
When we got closer, we discovered that the leader was Prithvi, the commander of the Gorkha Brigade.
"General." Prithvi imitated the Ming army, paid Li Yan a military salute, and reported, "Our Gorkha Brigade has advanced to the outskirts of Delhi, but we found that the situation in Delhi is a bit strange."
Prithvi cannot speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin, but of course he speaks Tibetan.
When he heard about the translator's translation, Li Yan's heart sank and he asked: "What's the weird method?"
Prithvi said: "I came to Delhi once ten years ago. It was really crowded and lively. But now the gates of Delhi are open, but not a single person is seen."
"The city gate is open, but no one can be seen?" Li Yan's face became even more confused.
Damn it, judging from this situation, Zhu Cijiong's 4th Cavalry Division has probably been in trouble.
At this moment, Li Yan could no longer remain calm and led the main force of the 2nd Cavalry Corps to accelerate forward.
Fortunately, there is not much of a road from here to Delhi, and the whole road is open and open plains, so there is no need to worry about being ambushed.
Soon, Li Yan's troops arrived outside Delhi.
Four thousand cavalrymen of the Gurkha Brigade were seen lined up in battle formation outside the East Gate of Delhi.
But the east gate of Delhi in front was really open, and there was really no one outside the city or outside.
However, the breeze carried a strong fishy smell, which smelled like blood.
This made Li Yan even more anxious. It seemed that the 4th Cavalry Division had really suffered an accident.
At that moment, Li Yan shouted with a dark face: "Prithvi, send a cavalry company into the city immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, countless figures suddenly appeared on the city wall in front, and a group of cavalry swarmed out from the deserted East Gate of Delhi.
The soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Corps and the Gurkha Brigade were shocked.
When Li Yan was about to give the order to fight, he found that there were troops rushing out from the city gate on the city wall, and the ones they displayed were actually the Great Ming Dynasty's Sun and Moon Flag! The Sun and Moon Flag?
Then, Li Yan saw Zhu Cijiong rushing to the front.
Seeing the soldiers of the Gurkha Brigade holding out their dog-leg knives, Li Yan quickly stopped.
When the soldiers of the Gorkha brigade were stopped, Li Yan led others to greet him and salute Zhu Cijiong.
"Li Yan, why is it you?" Zhu Cijiong laughed and said, "I originally thought they were reinforcements from the Mughal Empire, and I was preparing to stage an empty city strategy for them."
"Prince Ding, it's great that you're okay." Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhu Cijiong grunted, "What can happen to me? How can the Mughal chickens and tile dogs defeat me?"
Li Yan said: "Although the Mughals' native chickens and tile dogs are vulnerable, they cannot withstand large numbers of people. It is said that the Mughal Empire has a population of 150 million, which is more than the Ming Dynasty. Then their
The army can’t be worth a few million?”
Zhu Cijiong said: "I don't know if there are millions, but it is true that there are more than one million, and they have followed Aurunzeb, the crown prince of the Mughal Empire, to Peshawar."
"One million?" Li Yan couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
This is not the number of troops stationed in various locations, but the mobile forces gathered together.
Zhu Cijiong laughed and said: "Thanks to the main force of the Mughal Empire following Aurunzeb to Peshawar, I had the opportunity to lead the 4th Cavalry Division to capture Delhi without bloodshed. Li Yan, you don't know, we fought to Delhi
When we were outside the city, these Mughals actually thought that we were the local army coming for King Qin."
While talking, Zhu Cijiong led Li Yan and his party into the city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After entering the city, Li Yan discovered that the streets and alleys in Delhi were full of corpses, and the smell of blood in the air was simply unbearable.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yan asked: "King Ding, have you massacred the entire city of Delhi?"
"That's not the case." Zhu Cijiong said as if nothing was wrong, "All the dirty and smelly untouchables were killed, but the ones with light skin and no foul smell were not killed. The women were rewarded and given to the soldiers as concubines, and the men were castrated and sent back to their homeland as slaves.
Slave labor.”
Li Yan took a closer look and realized that the people on Corpse Street were basically untouchables with dark brown skin.
Zhu Cijiong added: "I heard that in Hindu legends, because you committed sins in your previous life, you will be demoted to a dirty and smelly pariah in this life, and then you will spend your whole life to atone for your sins. After you have atoned for your sins in this life, you will be demoted to
You can become a Brahmin or a Kshatriya of a higher caste after reincarnation."
"So by doing this we are also helping them."
"Let these untouchables complete their life's atonement as quickly as possible."
"When you are reincarnated again, you can become a Brahmin or a Kshatriya."
After saying this for a while, Zhu Cijiong said again: "No, there will be no Brahmins or Kshatriyas in India in the future, but only free people of the Ming Dynasty. When these untouchables are reincarnated again, they will become free people of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Yan whispered: "But King Ding, have you ever thought about the fact that there are more than 100 million untouchables in the Mughal Empire."
What Li Yan means is that we can't kill all the more than 100 million Sudras and Vaishyas, right? It would be too harmful to the world.
"So what." Zhu Cijiong said with a murderous look, "These dirty and smelly untouchables make me upset just looking at them. As I said before, these untouchables shouldn't live in this world."
Li Yan still wanted to fight for it, and then persuaded: "But the Holy Father said that human power is the most precious resource."
When Li Yan brought out Chongzhen's words, Zhu Cijiong did not dare to refute him anymore. He could only say with a dark face: "Well, since Li Yan is so insistent, then we should follow the old rules. All men, old and young, should be treated as such."
The women were castrated and sterilized, and then trafficked to the mainland or various overseas autonomous territories to work as slaves."
After a pause, Zhu Cijiong continued: "Now, the medical students are very busy."
"Ding Wang Mingjian." Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anyway, this matter is not urgent."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of a splendid palace. This was truly a splendid palace. The scale might not be as big as the Forbidden City, but the decoration was more magnificent.
I saw that the walls were covered with gold leaf, and the roof was inlaid with various gems.
The floor is also paved with gold bricks, and various treasures are placed in the hall.
Then, Li Yan saw many women kneeling in a hall.
The women in this hall are in sharp contrast to the women on the street outside.
The women on the street outside are smelly and dark, but the women here have fair skin and are very beautiful. Compared with the women of the Ming Dynasty, they have a more exotic style.
"Li Yan, these are the concubines and daughters of the Mughal Emperor. You can choose a few."
Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "The South Asian continent is really a deformed land. It can produce dirty and smelly women like those outside, but it can also produce stunning beauties like those inside the palace."
While talking, Zhu Cijiong stepped forward and hugged the two beauties in blue.
"Li Yan, you can choose anything else, but not these two. These two are the daughters of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. They are already mine."
Li Yan was a little embarrassed.
"Prince Ding, I'll forget it. After all, I haven't accomplished any military exploits."
But Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and said: "Well, according to the rules, whoever sees them will have a share in whether they have military merit or not, so you just have to be bold and pick, but you can only pick two."
Hearing this, the generals behind Zhu Cijiong and Li Yan laughed out loud.
Because they all know very well that after Li Yan has finished choosing, it will be their turn.
