First, he assisted Xiding King Zheng Zha, the son of King Zheng Zhi of the Qing Dynasty, to send troops to completely eliminate the remaining forces of the Mo Dynasty that was separatist in Gaoping. Then Ma Chongxi led his troops southward and blocked the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Nguyen Lord's regime in Nian'an.
At that time, the Nguyen ruler's regime had established close ties with the Later Xi Ming dynasty in Bangladesh. The Dashun army found many old friends from Xiying among the prisoners of the Nguyen ruler's Northern Expedition.
Ma Chongxi sent all these old friends from Xiying back to Kaifeng, and received special treatment from Li Laiheng.
This incident made the Dashun government and the public gradually begin to attach great importance to Sun Kewang's development in India. Over the years, due to the heavy obstacles of mountains and seas, the Shun Dynasty only roughly knew that Xiying had a firm foothold in Tianzhu, but Sun Kewang's power
I don’t know what exactly it has developed into, the size of its military strength, the size of its people, or the size of its territory.
Now it seems that Xi Ming can go as far as southern Annam to support the Nguyen ruler's Northern Expedition, so its power must not be underestimated.
In order to ascertain the development of the post-Xi Ming Dynasty, Li Laiheng recruited envoys and explorers across the country and prepared to send them to India to spy on Xi Ming military intelligence.
Because the reward given by Li Laiheng was extremely high, the emperor even said that those who could imitate Zhang Qian's example of digging through Tianzhu would be directly granted the title of marquis like Zhang Qian's old example, and would not be demoted for two generations.
For a time, there was a "Tianzhu fever" among Dashun scribes. Many people were looking through old books and trying to find out the general situation of Tianzhu from the old history books.
But there are also more practical adventurers who use Catholic and Portuguese channels to directly call themselves sea merchants or Christians and cross mountains and seas to go as far as India to spy on military intelligence.
On the southern border of Dashun, amidst the thousands of miles of waves in the Southeast Asia, a grand adventure that lasted more than ten years began.
This great expedition finally clarified for Dashun the general situation of the mountains and seas in the South China Sea and India.
The worldview of the Shun Dynasty scholars was greatly expanded, and during this exploration process, Dashun established diplomatic and trade relations with Western countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France.
When Sun Kewang first developed his power from Lower Burma to the Bengal Delta, India was still under the heyday of the Mughal Empire Shah Jahan, with a strong military and a strong national power.
Although Sun Kewang relied on the short-term policy of robbing other tribes to their bones and marrow in the Lower Burma area, he established a powerful army with tens of thousands of people, and for a time ran rampant between Lower Burma and Siam, but he did not dare to fight with Mo
The Wol Empire went head-to-head.
Sun Kewang always attached great importance to espionage in his military use. He appointed his close confidant Feng Shuangli as the governor of Eastern Tianzhu to manage the Bengal Delta. He also appointed Christian Pang Tianshou, a eunuch who was attached to Sun Kewang, as the eunuch in charge of foreign affairs with Western countries.
He followed the Portuguese's example, bribed local officials of the Mughal Empire under the pretext of trade, and was able to establish a small trading post at the mouth of the Hooghly River to spy on the internal affairs of the Mughal Empire.
The Hooghly River is wide and deep. The only drawback is that the area has depressions and swamps, which are harmful to health, and the population is sparse.
For this reason, Sun Kewang sent Wang Shangli, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, with a large number of Xiying craftsmen to the local area to cut down trees, drain swamps, and reclaim a large area of farmland.
Xiying soon discovered that the agricultural conditions in the Bengal Delta were much better than those in Lower Burma. Therefore, Sun Ke hoped to retreat from Burma as quickly as possible to avoid the pursuit of the Sun Army.
He sent troops to the west several times, annexed Kutch-Bihar, and entered the Assam region; he defeated King Jayawachi of Ahoma; he also raised troops to destroy the Arakan dynasty of Myanmar.
Sun Kewang used the large amounts of gold and silver treasures obtained by breaking bones and marrows in Myanmar to bribe local officials of the Mughal Empire. He also tried to use his identity as the Emperor of China to persuade Emperor Zhu Youlang of the Taiping Rebellion to Shah Jaja, who ruled the Mughal Empire.
Khan seeks marriage.
This move finally gave Sun Kewang a great opportunity to intervene in the struggle for the throne among the princes of the Mughal Empire. Among Shah Jahan's sons at that time, Aurangzeb was the most talented, but he was also the least able to displease his father, Shah Jahan.
Likes.
The other three princes are also ambitious people with different positions. They also control a lot of military power and have certain support from local feudal lords.
Sun Kewang then took advantage of the fact that Taiping Emperor Zhu Youlang was the son-in-law of Shah Jahan, and sent Pang Tianshou to India to make friends with the princes, creating a good foundation for his intervention in the internal strife of the Mughal Empire.
When Shah Jahan was bedridden, Sun Kewang supported his eldest son Dara Shuko, and even sent Feng Shuangli and Dou Mingwang to personally lead the army to fight, intervene in the civil war of the Mughal Empire, and compete with the talented and strategic Aurangzeb, making
This civil war intensified and turned into a seven-year-long melee.
During the years of civil war in the Mughal Empire, the post-Ming Dynasty regime cooperated with the Portuguese to occupy the entire territory of Bengal, and gradually withdrew entirely from Lower Burma, where resistance became increasingly fierce.
At one time, Sun Kewang granted them a large number of trade privileges in order to gain the full support of the Portuguese. But after the Ximing regime gained a foothold in Bengal, his sons turned their backs and disowned them. They cooperated with the Protestant British and bloodbathed Bengal.
The Portuguese trading stronghold completely shattered the Portuguese’s illusions about the legend of King John in the Far East.
In the twelfth year of the reign of Heaven, Shah Jahan's eldest son Dara Shuko was in a bad situation in the civil war and was defeated by Aurangzeb. He retreated to Bihar near the Bengal Delta to seek protection from Sun Kewang.
Sun Kewang then personally led the army into the Mughal Empire. After he led a Ming army of up to 80,000 people to defeat the pursuers sent by Aurangzeb in Bihar, he went west along the Ganges River and met at Allahabad and Aurangzeb.
The armies under the command of Ramzebub met and the two armies launched an extremely fierce battle.
After years of training, the Ming army had sophisticated equipment and extremely powerful artillery firepower, but the Mughal Empire had an advantage in cavalry and also sent a large number of war elephant troops.
The Ming army had been entrenched in the Lower Burma area for a long time and lacked quality horses. Sun Kewang's tactical command ability was also weaker than that of Aurangzeb. After the unfavorable first battle, the Ming army retreated to Bihar and relied on local castles and powerful artillery firepower to deal with the pursuing troops.
The Mughal army launched a counterattack.
Aurangzeb besieged Bihar for eight months. Due to the long-term inability to enter the city, diseases were prevalent among the Mughal army, and a large number of rebellions occurred in the rear.
In desperation, Aurangzeb could only sign a peace treaty with Sun Kewang. The Ming army handed over the body of Dara Shuko, the eldest son of Shah Jahan, who had died of illness, and his son Suleiman Shuko. Aurangzeb then led the
The army withdrew from Bengal and recognized the occupation of the entire Bengal Delta by the Western Ming Dynasty.
After the peace agreement was reached, Aurangzeb withdrew from Bengal with his army, whose morale was low due to the epidemic. He reorganized his army and prepared to return to Agra. When the army reached the edge of the Ganges, because of the lack of men and horses, he disbanded and rested, preparing to cross the river the next day.
At the fourth watch, Aurangzeb's troops were sleeping soundly in their tents. At this time, Sun Kewang led his army to catch up. His peace negotiation was entirely to deceive Aurangzeb, and the real purpose was to arrange Aurangze to death.
He replaced him as the sole ruler of North India.
Aurangzeb's army woke up from their sleep, was caught off guard, and numerous people were killed. His escorts gave their horses to Aurangzeb, allowing him to jump across the river and escape to the other side of the Ganges.
However, Aurangzeb was a devout Muslim commander. He believed in his destiny and was never willing to turn his back on the enemy and flee in panic. He was determined to hold the camp with his guards.
Dou Mingwang, the fierce general of the Western Camp, personally led his troops to besiege Aurangzeb's camp. Bullets rained down, but Aurangzeb still did not give in. Finally, Sun Kewang brought in artillery and blasted the famous king of the Mughal Empire to death.
.
After the Battle of the Ganges, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to advance westward and severely damaged the remaining armies of the Mughal Empire in Kannauj. In the name of supporting Suleiman Shuko, the son of Shah Jahan's eldest son Dara Shuko, Sun Kewang led
The army stationed in Delhi and Agra, and gradually expanded its power to Punjab, Multan, Sindh, Rajasthan and Malwa regions, in fact occupying the entire northern India.
After the situation was consolidated, Sun Kewang forced Suleiman Shuke to abdicate the throne to Zhu Youlang. This was the first time that the Indians had seen this kind of abdication drama. After that, the Ming army suppressed many rebellions and finally changed Delhi to Fuxing.
Tianfu realized the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty in India.
The great history of the Daimier Empire began from then on.
