"Your Highness, the prince has something important to discuss with you."
"What could he possibly want?"
"The prince wants to use all the treasures to inspire the people to defend the capital. Moreover, the prince feels that there are traitors in the city and wants to discuss with you who might betray the sultan."
Chand Bibi followed the guards back to the palace, but she always felt that something was wrong because her husband had changed so much.
Could it be that the miser finally came to his senses because of the troops approaching the city?
Chande Bibi could only think this way. She returned to the palace in full armor, and the moment the door closed, she was immediately held up by several spears.
Prince Ali came over and said, "You need to calm down."
Chand Bibi glared at her husband: "Are you crazy?"
"You are crazy," said Prince Ali. "The enemies came from the west coast and wreaked havoc in the north. Rebels appeared in the northeast and enemies came from the east. The six-nation coalition must have been defeated. How can we defend the capital? Is it possible?
Do you really want everyone to die together?"
"You will die if you surrender!" Chand Bibi said with disgust.
Prince Ali said: "You will not die if you surrender. My father, the Sultan of Bijapur, surrendered twice. Only those who resist to the end will die. This has always been the case!"
Chand Bibi angrily shouted: "Coward!"
Prince Ali was too lazy to say anything else and directly ordered: "Lock him up!"
The guards respected the prince and concubine very much, but that was all. They did not want to be massacred after the city was broken, and they only wanted to surrender with the prince.
Similarly, the capitulation faction in the country has been suppressed since the Chand Bibi Jianbi Clearance, but now all the princes have emerged in tandem.
The minister who was appointed by Chand Bibi to manage and dispatch military supplies was a truly capable and loyal official. Prince Ali called this man to discuss matters and hacked him to death on the spot. Immediately, the main war faction was completely purged, and in the middle of the night, the city actually started to
Playing with internal strife.
By the next morning, Prince Ali was completely in control of the situation. He did not dare to fight the enemy and killed his own people without mercy.
Moreover, Prince Ali was very clear-headed. He knew that he could not surrender to the rebels, otherwise Kamalqand would surely slaughter the Sultan's royal family. Now he could only surrender to the Han army outside the city.
A messenger hung down from the city wall and came to Ning Botao's military camp: "Dear General, Your Highness the Prince sent me to negotiate peace."
Ning Botao asked: "Are you willing to surrender?"
The messenger said: "As long as the general withdraws his troops, the prince is willing to give up all the treasures in the city."
Ning Botao smiled and said: "I raised my own troops and went in, and the treasures in the city are still mine. You actually used my things to bribe me to withdraw my troops. How can there be such a thing in the world?"
The messenger added: "Which country does your army belong to?"
Ning Botao couldn't laugh or cry: "You've been doing this for a long time, but you don't know who the enemy is?"
The messenger said: "We only know that your army is coming from the sea from the west."
Ning Botao said: "Which country your Sudan attacks this time, we will be the army of that country."
The messenger was speechless.
Ning Botao waved his hand and said: "Go back and tell your prince that your country attacked our country without any reason, and this battle must be paid with blood."
The messenger could only run back and come back a moment later.
The messenger asked: "How can your country withdraw its troops? Please set out the conditions. Your Highness will try your best to satisfy them."
Ning Botao said: "Hand over the city of Bijapur, and the Kingdom of Bijapur will be merged into the Kingdom of Tianzhu. I can spare your prince's death. If I attack the city myself, no one in the city will be alive!"
The messenger returned to the city again, but instead of meeting Prince Ali, he went to see Prime Minister Rahaman.
Rahaman directly led a group of capitulation officials and kidnapped Prince Ali: "Your Highness, the situation is such that we have no choice but to do so."
Prince Ali was stunned: "I am willing to surrender, but I just want to negotiate terms with the enemy first."
"No need," said Rahaman.
Green believers are everywhere in this country. Even if it is annexed by Tianzhu, it must be ruled by Green Religion officials. This is the idea of Prime Minister Rahaman and the traditional political habit of the Deccan Plateau. As long as he offers the capital and the prince, it will be considered
He has made great achievements, and it is very likely that he will be allowed to manage the country of Bijapur in the future.
In other words, although the Kingdom of Bijapur was destroyed, he, the prime minister, could gain greater power.
Not only was Prince Ali kidnapped, but several of his younger brothers and sisters were also kidnapped along with the whole family.
When the couple met again, Chand Bibi sneered: "What a good thing you did!"
Prince Ali was so disheartened that he had no shame to look at his wife again, so he was escorted to see Ning Botao.
Ning Botao was just a tactic of intimidation. He had no ability to break into the city. Who would have expected that it actually worked, and the royal family was brought to ruin.
"Are you a prince?" Ning Botao asked the fat man in front of him.
Prince Ali knelt down and said: "General, please spare my life. I was going to surrender, but I was kidnapped by the damn ministers."
The rest of the royal family knelt down one after another in front of Ning Botao.
Only the prince and concubine Chande Bibi still stood, with a sneer on her face and no words.
Ning Botao asked: "Who are you?"
Prince Ali pointed quickly and said: "She is my wife, the princess of Ahmed Negal. She caused everything. It was she who ordered the walls to be fortified and the country to be cleared, and it was she who summoned the militia to defend the city. Otherwise, General, you would have been there long ago."
We have occupied this city. I wanted to surrender a few days ago, but this crazy woman stopped me!"
Although Chande Bibi was extremely angry, her husband's words made her feel so depressed that she even lost the desire to speak.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ning Botao burst into laughter and spoke in Chinese that Prince Ali could not understand: "One hundred and forty thousand people were disarmed, but not one of them was a man. Unexpectedly, the strong walls and clear fields forced me to change my route, but it turned out to be a man deep in the palace.
Woman. What a wonderful woman!"
Prime Minister Rahaman, after sending the royal family members, took the initiative to hand over the entire city's soldiers and led his ministers to welcome Ning Botao into the city.
Immediately afterwards, the prime minister took Ning Botao to empty the sultan's royal treasury and prepare delicacies to reward the Han army.
That night, Prime Minister Rahaman secretly asked for an audience, carried out a box of gold and said: "Great general, these golds are given to you personally. After Bijapur is merged into your country, please give me a few kind words and let me be Bijapur."
Governor Poole."
"Easy to say." Ning Botao agreed immediately.
Lahaman was overjoyed and respected Ningbotao even more.
What if the country is destroyed?
As long as he becomes the governor of Bijapur, he will gain greater power and gain more benefits for his family.
Moreover, as long as he pays the full amount of taxes to Tianzhu, he has the final say in other matters. From now on, although he is not the Sultan, his power will be equal to that of the Sultan. Once there is civil strife in Tianzhu, he can still declare independence and become the real Bijapur.
Sudan!
Ning Botao suddenly sneered and said: "To show your loyalty, tomorrow morning, you will kill Prince Ali with your own hands in public."
"What?" Rahaman was shocked.
Betrayal is one thing, betrayal is another thing, but if you kill a prince in public, his reputation will be completely ruined!
If you want to monopolize power in the future, you must carry out a bloody purge, otherwise there will be many opponents.
Ning Botao frowned: "Don't want to?"
Rahaman knelt down and said, "Yes!"
Rahaman felt his scalp numb. This alien general was so cunning that he deliberately laid mines for him.
The next day, morning.
Rahaman summoned his ministers and pointed at Prince Ali and said: "This man is stupid and incompetent, and he dares to resist the army of the great King of India. He must die!"
What the hell?
Everyone didn't understand.
Holding a scimitar in his hand, Rahaman walked up to Prince Ali and whispered: "Your Highness, I will send you to see Allah."
"What do you want to do?" Prince Ali was shocked.
Rahaman slashed his sword and cut Prince Ali's throat.
Watching her husband fall, Chand Bibi's face was expressionless, with disgust and pity in his eyes.
"Mr. Ningge, the rebels outside the city please surrender!"
Ning Botao laughed dumbly: "He's just a wallflower."
Kamalhan surrendered very simply, and took the initiative to send a large amount of baggage. He only asked Tianzhu to let him continue to be the local governor.
This is how the Mughal Dynasty unified India. It was unified on the surface, but in fact it left countless states. These states were governed by local nobles, and the Mughal Dynasty only needed to collect taxes and recruit troops.
Historically, during the reign of Akbar, the policy of religious tolerance was implemented, and the Mughal Dynasty encountered almost no decent resistance. It was not until they were about to unify South Asia that they suddenly turned their backs and strengthened the Green religion, which immediately aroused a large number of pagan resistance, leading to some
The region has been unconquerable.
When Lu Sheng returned with his cavalry and prisoners, he found that Ning Botao had occupied the city.
As soon as the two sides combined their efforts, they quickly reached a consensus and simply took advantage of the trend to go north and destroy the Ahmed Negal country together.
However, the prince of this country is still in Lu Sheng's army, and they are planning to kill this cavalry.
Before taking action, Prince Hussein came to ask for an audience: "The Kingdom of Ahmed Negal is willing to surrender to the Kingdom of Tianzhu. From now on, Ahmed Negal will be a province of the Kingdom of Tianzhu. I voluntarily give up Sudan."
position and become the local governor of Tianzhu!"
Lu Sheng and Ning Botao were speechless for a moment.
Lu Sheng said: "Let your cavalry return home, and you can follow me to see the king."
Hussein said: "It will be my lifelong honor to be able to meet the great King of India."
Lu Sheng said to Ning Botao: "Mr. Ning Ge, are we going to destroy both countries this time?"
Ning Botao smiled bitterly: "Let's forget it."
Hussein said weakly: "Two generals, my sister... seems to have been captured by you. Can I see her?"
Ning Botao asked: "Who is your sister?"
Hussain said: "Chande Bibi, the prince and concubine of Bijapur."
