902 Let the Ming Army experience the original grievances
Needless to say, Darashuko would not be able to accept the demand for unconditional surrender, and almost jumped on his feet and scolded the Ming Dynasty.
After scolding him, his dilemma was not solved and he still wanted to be blinded.
At this time, Darashuke received news that the second prince Shashuja had actually ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Orissa Province.
"How dare he? How dare he?"
When Darashuke heard this, he was furious!
He is the prince of the Mughal Empire. Shah Jahan is dead, so it is natural for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
However, Aurangzeb relied on his troops to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which he could not tolerate.
Unexpectedly, Shashuja, who was nothing, dared to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. This really made him furious!
Listening to Darashuke's roar, his men explained to him: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince promised to give officials and titles to all the local authorities!"
The implication is that Shashuja's reliance is to write a blank check to the local government and use his official position and title to win over local powerful people!
When Darashuke heard this, he immediately cursed again, but soon, he suddenly froze.
Because he thought that Aurangzeb's army was not easy to obtain, but Shashuja's methods could still be used by him!
Moreover, Shashuja fled to the south to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the Ming army did not follow him. Looking at the current movements of the Ming army, they are preparing to attack westward along the Ganges River. In this way, if he also leads his troops south
, avoid the front of the Ming army and let Aurangzeb and the Ming army attack first, wouldn't it be a fisherman's gain?
Thinking of this, Darashuke suddenly felt that the future was bright.
That's right, we just want to go south. Why should we deal with the powerful Ming army by ourselves? Since Aurangzeb has his own strength, fine, then go and fight the Ming army!
After understanding this, Darashuke was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and regardless of the fact that he was an emperor in name, he abandoned the land. After discussing with his confidants, he also took money and food and ran south!
…………………………
The Ming army, which was closest to Dara Shuko's forces, was the first to receive the news.
At this time, the Ming army happened to be celebrating the 24th year of Chongzhen and welcoming the arrival of the 25th year of Chongzhen.
At the banquet, upon hearing the news, the Ming army generals were all speechless for a moment.
None of them expected that the authentic prince of the Mughal Empire could abandon his territory without caring about it!
As a result, it also brought a lot of trouble to the Ming army!
This trouble is not that the Ming Expeditionary Force has to face the most powerful prince of the Mughal Empire, but that these rabbits in the Mughal Empire's army actually ran away!
In the past, the second prince of the Mughal Empire ran away and did not have many troops. Now, the eldest prince has much more troops than the second prince. If the leader of the troops runs away, it will be a bit troublesome to go back and catch the rabbit.
What the Ming Expeditionary Army hopes most is not how weak their opponents are, but that they can gather together, preferably an army of one million or something. It doesn’t matter. It’s the easiest thing to have a decisive battle with the Ming Expeditionary Army and finish it off in one go!
But even if you don’t want Darashuke to escape now, there’s nothing you can do about it!
After all, the Ming Expeditionary Army did not have many troops and could not spread its troops to various parts of the Mughal Empire!
We can only follow the plan, advance westward first, seize the capital of the Mughal Empire, and then eliminate more Mughal Empire troops.
……………………
The news that Dara Shuko could not escape also reached the ears of Aurangzeb in Arag not long after.
At this time, he was in high spirits. He conquered several southern countries and expanded the territory of the Mughal Empire to the largest extent. Therefore, just like in the original history, he named himself Alamgir, which means
is a world conqueror.
Judging from this title, the world conqueror seems to be not much different from the world ruler. The level of these two father and son is about this.
"Incompetent rats!" After hearing the report from his men, Aurangzeb immediately sneered and said, "Haha, just based on this, you still want to compete with me for the throne. It's just a dream!"
Although Dara Shuko ran away and he would face the Ming army's attack, Aurangzeb was fearless and did not care about this.
He wanted to prove to the provincial officials of the Mughal Empire that he was the real emperor of the Mughal Empire. Although the Ming army beat his two brothers to pieces, which seemed very powerful, but under his
In front of Aurangzeb, it is still not worth mentioning.
He, Aurangzeb, Alamgir, the conqueror of the world, will surely rise to the top on the strength of the Ming army!
Afterwards, he announced the order to the world and asked everyone to watch to see how he defeated the Ming army. If the local people still did not understand the situation clearly, he would not mind leading the troops to kill all those who disobeyed him after defeating the Ming army.
.
Aurangzeb had said beforehand that anyone who did not surrender to him in advance but had to wait until he went on a crusade before surrendering would not be forgiven!
However, what Aurangzeb did not expect was that after his intention to fight the Dongjin and Ming armies came out, Kui Yi, who was busy setting up a Dutch trade office in Arag, hurried to see him.
Already.
"Your Majesty is really going to have a decisive battle with the Ming army?" After hearing this, Kui quickly confirmed, "How many troops will you have by then?"
After hearing this, Aurangzeb didn't understand Kuyi's intention for a while, so he said to him: "I plan to lead one hundred thousand troops to attack Bhagalpur, because according to the news I received, the Ming army there is actually only
Only fifty or sixty thousand people!”
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Kui Yi heard this and shook his head quickly.
After hearing this, Aurangzeb couldn't help but blush a little, and immediately added to him: "I understand, I understand. I want to prove to the world that this throne belongs to me and I deserve it! Okay, then I will also bring five or six
If thousands of troops pass by, they will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army!"
Although he announced to the world that Shah Jahan was murdered by traitors, people in the world are not fools. Who doesn't know that he usurped the throne and killed his father!
The only thing he relies on is his courage and his ability to lead troops in war!
Therefore, if he can defeat the Ming army when his military strength is about the same as that of the Ming army, who else can disapprove of his illustrious martial arts? By then, even the Ming army will be too frightened to attack Mo again.
The Wol Empire!
Moreover, Aurangzeb was confident that he was no better than those two good-for-nothing brothers and could definitely defeat the Ming army!
But who would have thought that after hearing what he said, Kui shook his head repeatedly and said to him: "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that your Majesty must gather as many people as possible to make the Ming army afraid.
, just use the method of a lion fighting a rabbit, a bull's sword killing a chicken, to destroy the Ming army!"
"Why?" Aurangzeb was a little surprised and asked in confusion.
In his opinion, this would not demonstrate his wise and powerful ability to lead troops. Moreover, using troops on such a large scale would put heavy logistical pressure.
With Aurangzeb thinking this way, he tried to explain to Kui Yi from the perspective of leading troops in battle. Sometimes, it is not always better to lead more troops!
After hearing this, Kui quickly answered him: "Your Majesty doesn't know that we Dutch originally owned Nanyang. If it were just based on the quality of the warships, it would be impossible for the Ming army to be our opponent in the Netherlands. But if it was just due to the quality of the warships, it would be a one-on-one battle. But
, you don’t know, the Ming army used their large number of ships and people to bully our Netherlands.”
When he said this, he was very emotional and said with a bit of gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, you really can't understand it. We in the Netherlands are obviously more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty bullies us because they have more soldiers and ships.
The Netherlands caused us in the Netherlands to lose Batavia, which we had finally managed to manage, and the Strait of Malacca. Facing the Ming Dynasty's many soldiers and ships, we in the Netherlands really felt very aggrieved, and finally had to flee westward in embarrassment.
I don’t dare to take cruel revenge on Akito!”
After hearing this, Aurangzeb still didn't quite understand, so he confirmed doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
After hearing this, Kui replied loudly: "What I mean is actually very simple. Let the Ming army taste what we Dutch have tasted! Let the Ming army know how big they will face when they come to attack the Mughal Empire."
The pressure. Here, having more soldiers and ships is no longer their advantage! Let them know that here is the absolute strength of the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire's army can easily defeat them. Let them know that the Mughal Empire's army can easily defeat them.
They won’t dare to invade again next time!”
Obviously, as he said, the Dutch have finally joined a superpower. From then on, the Ming Dynasty tried to use their large numbers and soldiers to bully the Netherlands. The days of chasing the Dutch are over.
It will never be returned.
Such a fact must be realized by the people of Ming Dynasty!
Only in this way can the Netherlands' investment in Aurangzeb continue to receive returns!
After his explanation, Aurangzeb was still a little hesitant. After all, he wanted to prove to the world that he was wise and proficient in fighting.
Kuyi obviously understood Aurangzeb, so he tried to persuade him from his point of view, saying that having more soldiers was his advantage in overpowering the world, and no one dared to disobey him.
In the end, Aurangzeb was persuaded by him, and he prepared to fight like a lion against a rabbit, so that the Ming army would never dare to attack the Mughal Empire again.
Kuiyi, on his side, also patted his chest and said that he would gather as many of his men as possible to help Aurangzeb fight the Ming army. He would teach the Ming army a lesson!
Aurangzeb was very happy to have the help of the Dutch and immediately recruited troops again.
All the local armies that had surrendered to him around Arag, including near Delhi, etc., were all recruited. As for logistical supplies and the like, all the material reserves of his father Shah Jahan's massive construction projects were embezzled by him, and he eventually pieced together nearly three
A hundred thousand troops marched eastward in mighty force.
