In the central army tent, Aurangzeb ignored the eyes of Aragnay who was kneeling on the ground to report to him, and roared angrily.
Although he knew that Shah Jahan did not want to see him and was partial to him, he never expected that he would behave so completely and nakedly now!
He quickly transferred from the western front to the south, not only expelled the Portuguese in Goa and eliminated the hidden danger of the Ming army attacking the Mughal Empire, but also destroyed several countries in the south, greatly expanding the territory of the Mughal Empire.
It can be said that in the history of the Mughal Empire, besides the founding emperor, who else can compare with his achievements?
In the past, I issued seven or eight orders in a row, not wanting him to get the full merit, so let it go. Now when the teacher returned to Beijing, he still suffered such unfair treatment, which really made Aurangzeb furious!
What's so good about Darashenko? He suffered such a huge defeat and lost so much territory, but nothing happened at all. Yet, he still had to deprive him of his military power and give it to Darashenko. Is there such a way in the world?
What a reward, it sounds so nice, why doesn't he die?
Aurangzeb was roaring filial piety in the central army tent, with a ferocious face, completely forgetting that he had actually been coveting the throne before.
After he vented for a while, the informant kneeling on the ground was his confidant in Arag. Before Shah Jahan's decree came out, he rushed over to report the news.
At this time, after waiting for a while, he quickly advised Aurangzeb: "Your Highness, the situation is urgent and it is not appropriate to delay it any longer. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Aurangzeb stared at him with red eyes for a while, knowing in his heart that he must seize the time. No matter what, he could not lose his military power.
Aurangzeb was a decisive man and he made a decision quickly. He immediately ordered his informants to rush back to Arag, and then he ordered the generals of the army to be summoned for discussion.
Before that, he sent someone to invite the Dutch Governor Kuiyi. There was not much nonsense. After the meeting, he just said one sentence: "I want to attack Arag and become the emperor!"
Kui Yi was not surprised by this, because Aurangzeb had this plan before he came. It was just that he had not yet made it clear in what name, at what time and in what way he would do it.
Afterwards, Aurangzeb began to perform in front of his generals.
He first had a heart-to-heart talk with these generals, reviewed the friendship in battle, told about the glory of opening up new territories, etc. Then, his expression changed and he began to talk about Dara Shuke's incompetence. The empire would definitely fail in the hands of such an heir to the throne!
His entrusted generals were immediately filled with righteous indignation, bringing along other generals who had been beaten by him to become angry as well.
After the atmosphere reached a certain level, Aurangzeb began to talk about Shah Jahan's stupidity and unfair handling of things. He shouted the slogan "Clear the king on his side" and revealed that he had an internal agent in Arag, and as long as he sent troops
The attack will definitely succeed. And he guarantees that those who follow him will remember it and share the glory and wealth!
In the original history, Aurangzeb had not yet destroyed the country, nor had he colluded with the Dutch. He had united with the four princes to seize the throne, and then killed his younger brother.
It can be seen from this that his skills as an actor are both decisive and spicy.
The idea of plotting to usurp the throne was already there, and he was also prepared for it. The two generals of the Guards Army who were loyal to Shah Jahan were killed by him during the war, and the rest were conquered by him.
Under his instigation, especially when Aurangzeb revealed that there was an internal agent in the city of Aragh and the probability of success was very high, the crowd suddenly became furious and everyone shouted for action.
Therefore, Aurangzeb immediately led the army and suddenly marched to Arag, and successfully invaded the city with the support of internal forces.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Arag continuously sent troops to the Eastern Front battlefield.
In the end, Aurangzeb succeeded in usurping the throne just like in the original history.
However, what is different from the original history is that Shah Jahan was not put under house arrest, but was murdered by a traitor. Aurangzeb had no time to save him, so he could only kill the traitor's family and associates to avenge Shah Jahan.
And this treacherous minister and his accomplices are undoubtedly officials of the eldest prince Darashuke's faction.
Later, in accordance with Shah Jahan's decree before his death, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and issued the first decree, declaring Darashuke guilty of a large number of crimes, and at the same time, he awarded large-scale rewards to the ministers who followed him, including the Dutch.
Within, the Mughal Empire was declared an ally, and all of the Mughal Empire was open to the Dutch to do business and make money together.
Having just usurped the throne, Aurangzeb had many things to do, and he also needed all places to express their allegiance to him as the new emperor, so he could not take care of the war in the east.
Darashuke, who originally received Shah Jahan's order, immediately burst into tears of gratitude to Shah Jahan, and at the same time vowed in his heart that this time, he must fight hard and defeat the Ming army, otherwise he will not be a human being!
As a result, he was not happy for two days when news of Aragh's rebellion reached him.
He also had an informant in Arag, and when the war broke out, he came to report to him. Suddenly, it was like someone pouring a bucket of cold water on him in the cold winter.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"
"How dare he? He dares so much!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors!"
"Killing my father to usurp the throne makes humans and gods angry!"
"..."
Hearing Darashuke wailing there, his cronies couldn't help it anymore and quickly reminded: "Your Highness, let's think about what to do next? His Highness the Third Prince must be quick to get rid of His Highness!"
Upon hearing this, Darashuke suddenly lost his idea and quickly begged: "What else can you do now? Arag has fallen into his hands, and his subordinates are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. What can you do?
Say it quickly, say it quickly..."
At this time, he was obviously helpless.
Darashko knew himself that his ability to lead troops and fight in battles was simply not comparable to that of Aurangzeb. In the past, his greatest reliance was the favor and support of Shah Jahan.
Now, his biggest reliance was gone, and Arag fell into the hands of Aurangzeb. Moreover, he himself had just experienced a major defeat and lacked confidence, while Aurangzeb had returned with a great victory.
With all this going on, he really had no confidence that he could still fight Aurangzeb after losing Shah Jahan.
His cronies were all bound to him. Seeing him like this, they had no choice but to give him advice.
Afterwards, Dara Shuko also immediately announced to the world that Aurangzeb had killed his father and usurped the throne. He ascended the throne as the prince and proclaimed himself emperor. He called on all the provinces of the Mughal Empire to respond with troops and destroy the rebellious officials and traitors!
This civil strife in the Mughal Empire suddenly made the Ming expeditionary force that invaded the eastern part of the Mughal Empire seem like outsiders and was directly ignored by them.
The Ming army was naturally not polite and immediately swept away the eastern region with all its strength. With the help of the maneuverability of the warships, the army that attacked thousands of miles finally joined forces with the army that was advancing steadily along the Ganges River.
In this process, the indigenous spies that the factory guards had spread out before finally played some role.
Generally speaking, like this kind of expedition to a foreign country, the customs and habits, and even the races are somewhat different, and it will take more energy and time to conquer.
Just in terms of communication, there will be many difficulties, after all, the language is not clear at all.
However, the indigenous spies who had been spread out in advance had already promoted Ming Dynasty's policies among the locals.
But at the beginning, no one believed it. Even if those indigenous spies worked hard, some people believed it, but they still didn’t dare to believe it!
After all, this is an area ruled by the Mughal Empire. If you want to show how good the army is, do you still need your head?
The rule of the Mughal Empire was mainly based on military rule. They killed at every turn, and the military men were too lazy to talk.
However, when the Ming army defeated the Mughal Empire's army, occupied this place, and still showed a powerful attack power, beating the Mughal Empire's army to the point of peeing, the indigenous people who did not dare to speak began to
Coming out to explain the Ming army's policies was very helpful in stabilizing the situation in the occupied areas.
Otherwise, due to language barriers, different behavioral habits, and the inability to kill all the natives, it would take a lot of time just to stabilize the situation.
In this way, with the help of the indigenous spies spread out by the factory guards, the large area from Bhagalpur to Dhaka quickly adapted to the Ming army's occupation.
For them, as long as they understand what the Ming army is like, they don't care whether it is the Mughal Empire or the Ming Empire above their heads.
They naturally have a strong balance in their hearts and know whose rule they will live well in!
Even under the influence of the Ming Dynasty's policy of opening up territories, not only did they actively cooperate with the Ming army, they even took the initiative to arrest those former masters, hoping to gain more benefits from Li Fang.
By the end of December in the 24th year of Chongzhen, the large area of land occupied by the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force had been completely stabilized. The people here seemed to have never experienced a war and were doing whatever they needed to do.
As a result, the main force of the Ming army also began to gather towards Bhagalpur, preparing for the next phase of the attack. A steady stream of supplies was transported through the Ganges waterway and hoarded to Bhagalpur.
However, during this whole process, Mu Tianbo, as the head coach of the expeditionary force, had no chance to breathe at all. Behind the front line, there were many things to deal with every day, and Yang Weizhi was still in Dhaka and had not been to the front line. The pressure was all on him
.
On this day, when he was busy, he suddenly saw Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, walking in.
At this time, Li Ruolian had already been made a count, but Mu Tianbo was a duke, so there was a gap in title.
However, Li Ruolian was responsible for supervising the affairs of the expeditionary force and was the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Therefore, Mu Tianbo noticed him immediately and hurriedly came over.
