901 Even if you are far away, you will be punished
But before Mu Tianbo could speak, Li Ruolian greeted him with a smile and said, "The Lieutenant General of the Congolese Army captured a messenger from the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire and said he wanted to see you secretly!"
"???" Mu Tianbo was stunned when he heard this, what is going on?
At this time, the people already knew that the Mughal Empire was vying for the throne. Shah Jahan was dead, and the two princes proclaimed themselves emperors. There was a lot of trouble. At this time, a messenger came. What was going on?
Li Ruolian, speaking on his side, waved his hand back, and then he saw two Jinyi guardsmen entering the lobby with someone who was obviously a Mughal, or for the Ming Dynasty, a Turk.
The Turk just saw what Mu Tianbo was wearing and asked tentatively: "May I ask if you are the Duke of Guizhou of the Ming Dynasty?"
His Ming Dynasty Mandarin is very unauthentic, with a thick accent that is barely understandable.
After hearing this, Mu Tianbo stood there, looked at the messenger, nodded and said, "Exactly!"
After receiving the answer, the Turkic man quickly demanded: "Please step aside, please. On behalf of the Mughal Empire, I have secret matters to discuss with you!"
After hearing this, Mu Tianbo glanced at Li Ruolian and thought to himself, what a joke, you actually want me to avoid the commander of the Jin Yiwei to talk about it?
For really important matters, if the commander of Jin Yiwei is not here, he has to be found first before we can talk!
Thinking like this, he sneered and replied: "Who do you think you are? If you have anything to say, say it quickly, and if you have any questions, say it quickly. If you piss me off, I'll take your head as a sacrificial flag!"
Originally, as a hereditary prince, he would not be so vulgar.
However, after leading the army for a long time, especially the army under his command, which was originally dominated by the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, it has acquired a bit of reckless habits. More importantly, in front of Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, his rough and arrogant personality is very good.
Some.
The Turkic man was a little angry when he heard what he said, but it was obvious that he had no choice and couldn't turn around. So, his face turned green and white, and finally he had to recognize the reality and lowered his attitude and said: "We
His Majesty the Emperor has said that he hopes your army can help us put down the rebellion, and the territory your army will occupy will be our reward!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Tianbo and Li Ruolian couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they did have news about the Mughal Empire, they definitely didn't know enough about it. Upon hearing this, both of them knew that in the battle for the throne within the Mughal Empire, the eldest prince Dara Shuko who was in front of them estimated that
Unable to resist the pressure from the third prince Aurangzeb, he actually came to seek cooperation with the Ming Dynasty.
After understanding this, Mu Tianbo said: "The place occupied by Ming Dynasty is already Ming Dynasty's territory. You can still talk about it, but you actually use this to negotiate terms with Ming Dynasty?"
When the Turks heard this, they were immediately furious. The territory of the majestic Mughal Empire was just seized. Do you really think that the Mughal Empire was just a small country with cats and dogs?
However, he immediately remembered what Darashuke had said when he came over, so he had to suppress his anger and wanted to say it again.
However, before he could speak, he heard Li Ruolian say nonchalantly from the side: "If this is the only reason you came here, then I can tell you clearly that when you invade Dongwu and invade my Ming Dynasty, you will not be able to control it.
I have chosen. Those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away! The Mughal Empire will only exist in history from now on!"
For the grasp of the imperial court's national policy, or the understanding of the emperor's intentions, no foreign minister could understand it better than the leader of the factory guard.
When the Turks heard this, they realized that the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy the Mughal Empire, and it was not a matter of the territory it occupied, nor was it a matter of dividing half of the country as the bottom line given by Darashuk.
In other words, there is nothing to talk about!
This was obviously not what he wanted, so he sternly shouted: "The Duke is here, who are you? How dare you ignore what the Duke has to say?"
Subtly, it was used to sow discord.
However, everyone in the lobby, including Mu Tianbo's personal guards, looked at the Turk like a fool after understanding what he said.
Even if he is an ordinary captain of the Jinyi Guards, he represents the imperial power. Even if he is the Duke, he still has to give up three points, not to mention, this is the commander of the Jinyi Guards!
This Turkic man didn't understand the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty at all, and he dared to speak nonsense. He is really ignorant and fearless!
Mu Tianbo, in front of Li Ruolian, quickly expressed his attitude and said: "What he said is what I mean. Go back and tell your master that if you offend the Ming Dynasty, the only way to survive is to surrender unconditionally.
Otherwise, just wash your neck and wait!”
The Turks didn't expect these Ming people to be so strong, so they threatened: "Don't think that you have won just a few battles. We have a million-strong army in the Mughal Empire. How many of you are there? You are really going to piss us off."
The Mughal Empire…”
Mu Tianbo was too lazy to pay attention to him. Hearing that he was still talking nonsense, he waved his hand and ordered: "Take him down, cut off his ears and expel him!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the side immediately pounced on him like wolves and tigers, and dragged the Turk away regardless of his pleas and howls.
In the lobby, it immediately became quiet.
Mu Tianbo turned around and said to Li Ruolian: "It seems that the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire can't stand it anymore. Maybe our real opponent will be the legendary third prince who is very capable of fighting!"
After hearing this, Li Ruolian immediately smiled and said: "This is also expected. Then Aurangzeb can only dominate here. It is so strenuous to defeat Persia, and he praised him for the defeat, but it shows
A certain amount of talent, haha!”
Everything in the war against the Mughal Empire is going according to plan. It can even be said that because of the civil strife in the Mughal Empire, the Ming army went much more smoothly than planned.
When saying this, Li Ruolian even turned his head and looked to the northeast. There was an army hidden there, waiting to cooperate according to the planned time. Regardless of which prince of the Mughal Empire won the battle in the end
Victory came to fight against the Ming Expeditionary Force, but in the end they all ended up with the same outcome.
However, for now, only he and the army commander Mu Tianbo know about this news.
At this time, Mu Tianbo heard his comments and echoed a few words, and then said with emotion: "The land here is really fertile! It is estimated that from next year, our army's food and grass will no longer have to be shipped from Dongwu!"
At the beginning, the army was hoarding on the border of Yunnan to threaten Dongwu. At that time, food and grass still needed support from provinces other than Yunnan. Then when they attacked Dhaka, Dongwu's output was not enough to support the army.
.
However, after the army occupied the Dhaka area and the Ganges Plain area, because the Ming army was able to quickly pacify this place and stabilize the place, judging from the current situation, the army would be able to return from Dongwu, Dhaka and the Ganges River with enough food and grass.
It is enough to collect from the plain area.
It can even be said that based on the number of Ming army conscription, it will be better for the local indigenous people than the Mughal Empire's local conscription. Therefore, it is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty to rule here.
Li Ruolian was filled with emotion after hearing this. It could even be said that he was far more emotional than Mu Tianbo.
After all, Mu Tianbo was hereditary Duke and stayed in Yunnan, and he experienced the troubled times of Chongzhen.
At that time, there were constant droughts and floods across the country, and the people revolted because of hunger. The court worked hard to put down the rebellion and recruited waves of bandits. However, because there was no food and grass to settle them, they either killed those who wanted to be safe, or those who wanted to be safe rebelled.
.
All of this, in the final analysis, is because there is no food.
If the Ming Dynasty had land like this and enough food, there would never have been the Chongzhen Troubles, and many fewer people would have died!
Li Ruolian had been in the expeditionary force for a long time and was responsible for collecting intelligence. He knew the Mughal Empire best.
If it weren't for the fertile land and rich products of this land, the Mughal Empire would have been in chaos long ago with its aggressive military and massive construction projects!
At this time, after the two of them had finished sighing, they went about their own business. One was responsible for military thinking and keeping abreast of the internal information of the Mughal Empire; the other was responsible for military affairs, dispatching troops and generals, and continuing to mobilize troops to Bhagalpur.
, hoarding food and grass, preparing to use it as a base to continue launching an offensive westward.
Of course, for the Ming Expeditionary Force, the New Year is coming, and large-scale wars, if there are no accidents, will still have to wait until after the New Year.
………………………………
Compared with the Ming army, although Dara Shuko, the eldest prince of the Mughal Empire, had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was looking sad and miserable day by day.
Aurangzeb proclaimed himself emperor in Agh**ji, took the ministers who were attached to him as hostages, and ordered them to surrender. This made people in his community panic, and even he himself did not know who should be believed and who should not.
The letter?
Also, Aurangzeb's troops were all elite divisions, and those who returned victorious were far inferior to his troops after their defeat.
The only advantage Dara Shuko had was that he was the titular prince of the Mughal Empire. It was more legitimate for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
However, the tradition of the Mughal Empire is to compare whose fist is stronger!
This made Dara Shuko very uneasy, and he finally decided that he would rather cede half of the country to the Ming Empire and let the Ming Empire help him destroy Aurangzeb, and he agreed.
At least in this case, he still has half of the country to be emperor, but if he is defeated by Aurangzeb, he knows that his end will definitely not be good!
However, what he never expected was that the envoy he sent out secretly came back without two ears, and brought him a sentence: When the Mughal Empire invaded the Ming Dynasty, it was already doomed.
