In later generations, Delhi in India was divided into New Delhi and Old Delhi.
At this time, the city of Delhi happened to be located in New Delhi and would be covered by the modern city in a few hundred years.
When Babur founded the Mughal Empire, the capital was set in Agra further east. After Humayun succeeded to the throne, he built his own capital in Delhi, which was named "Dinpala" (meaning sanctuary of faith).
After the success of Sher Shah's rebellion, he also chose this place to establish his capital and expanded the "Dinpala Castle" into a city. Until now, it has not been completely completed. This shows how big the city is. It has been built in succession for more than ten years, and now it has only been completed.
Despite the construction of the inner city, the outer city still lacks a large city wall. Its center is a castle, outside the castle is the inner city, and beyond the inner city is the outer city.
However, both the inner city and the outer city, a large number of residents have moved in, and the Sultan lives in the castle built by Humayun.
This is also the reason why the Sultan must go out of the city to fight, otherwise Wang Yuan's cavalry will most likely look for opportunities to massacre the outer city that lacks the protection of the city wall.
At this moment, Rahaman, the prime minister of the Sur Dynasty, was watching the battle on the outer city wall that had been repaired.
"Oh God, the Sultan has been defeated!" an official shouted in horror.
Rahaman was also stunned. He could not see clearly the initial battle because it was too far away. However, due to the Sultan's gradual retreat, the battlefield had been moved to two miles outside the city, and the general battle situation was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The Tianzhu King's cavalry was too nimble and kept wandering around the perimeter to feign attacks, making it difficult for the 110,000-strong army to quickly change formations. With each change, the formations began to become chaotic, and neither muskets nor artillery could fire effectively, and they were finally defeated.
Behind the Sudanese Guards Cavalry, they inserted diagonally into the junction of the two infantry phalanxes.
Not to mention the ancient battle command system, even if modern troops were inserted in this way, there would still be no time to effectively adjust the deployment.
The 110,000-strong army was like a bloated fat man being teased around by a capable little man. Then he was kicked in the knee and fell to the ground.
Rahaman murmured to himself: "This King of India is the whip bearer sent down by Allah! We...poof!"
The tip of a scimitar protruded from Rahaman's belly. He turned around to see who was doing it, but was pushed forward and then kicked off the city wall.
The new Sultan has just ascended the throne, the new Prime Minister has just been appointed, and they have also experienced a bloody coup. How stable can their rule be?
As soon as the Sultan died outside the city, the prime minister in the city was killed, and the few remaining troops in the city began to fight among themselves.
On the battlefield, thousands of noble cavalry and 8,000 Gujar cavalry were still pursuing the defeated troops. On the contrary, 3,000 Han cavalry led by Wang Yuan and 5,000 brother cavalry led by Wang Fang temporarily stopped to recover.
War horse physical strength.
There were at least 80,000 surviving defeated troops left. At this moment, they had completely lost their organization. They were running without knowing the direction. When the cavalry caught up with them, they were hacked to death. Some of them ran out of energy, so they lay down on the ground and begged for their lives.
Tens of thousands of people were running towards the city of Delhi.
A part of the cavalry chased into the outer city and began to kill indiscriminately. They also slaughtered the fleeing civilians when they encountered them, and gradually evolved into robbing the property of the outer city.
The chaos lasted from the afternoon to midnight, and Wang Yuan could not put an end to it because the cavalry were all foreign troops.
Early the next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth, extending from the outer city to the suburbs. There were corpses everywhere. Moreover, many of the corpses had their leather armor stripped off, and even their clothes and shoes.
The foreign cavalry gathered one after another, came to Wang Yuan's side, knelt down and shouted "King of Tianzhu".
Wang Yuan said: "Give me half of your spoils."
No one dared to object, and they handed over their belongings honestly, including a lot of rotten boots.
In this battle, thousands of noble cavalry defected, captured more than 13,000 infantrymen of all types, captured more than 30 antique cannons, more than 6,000 old-fashioned matchlocks, and six war elephants. The remaining war elephants were either
Dead or running away, so did the tens of thousands of enemy infantry. It is estimated that at least 30,000 to 40,000 escaped alive.
Wang Yuan ordered the prisoners to carry the corpses, pile them together and set them on fire to prevent the plague from developing over time.
The corpses of dead elephants and war horses were cleaned, washed, and cooked for consumption, but the military rations were still far from enough, and supplies could only be obtained after the city was breached.
An official was elected and went out of the city to meet Wang Yuan. He lay prone and said: "The great and invincible King of Tianzhu, the Prime Minister has been killed by us, and the Sultan's queen and son have also been controlled by us. We are willing to surrender."
To you, but please don’t cause more killings in the inner city of Delhi.”
Wang Yuan was noncommittal and said, "First transport some grain."
Soon, the gate of the inner city opened, and carts of food passed through the ruined outer city and were delivered to Wang Yuan as army rations.
Wang Fang took 5,000 brother cavalry and camped outside the city to rest and take care of the prisoners, rations and property. Wang Yuan took 3,000 Han cavalry and rode into the inner city. As for the more than 10,000 foreign cavalry, they were on standby.
, are not allowed to enter the city, and are not even allowed to go to the outer city.
The outer city was robbed and killed for half a day and half a night, and there was almost no trace of anyone alive. Even if they could survive, they would have run away long ago.
Qi Jiguang took a group of cavalry as guides and entered the inner city first. He dispersed to the streets and alleys to check the situation and verified that there was no ambush before returning to welcome Wang Yuan into the city.
Wang Yuan rode through the city, and the residents were kneeling along the street. They expressed their submission with the most respectful gestures, and only asked Wang Yuan not to rob them again, but there was nothing they could do if he really wanted to rob them.
Soon, Wang Yuan was connected to the castle, which was the residence of the Mughal emperor and Surul Sultan.
Humayun was really an elegant emperor and actually built a large library in the castle, which contained countless scriptures and classics.
"Here, it's burned." Wang Yuan said casually.
The large library containing hundreds of thousands of scriptures was burned down by Wang Yuan. Countless scholars and believers were filled with indignation, but no one dared to put out the fire.
Suddenly, a court scholar rushed into the fire scene wailing and was buried in the fierce flames.
Wang Yuan smiled and asked: "Are there any martyrs?"
No one answered, they all knelt down.
The Sultan's wife, mother, and son were all tied up and led out. The eldest son was only five years old, and the youngest was still in his infancy.
Wang Yuan actually ignored it and said with a smile: "These people, you can handle it yourself. Count the belongings in the castle and seal them up until I come back next time."
Qi Jiguang and Changde were both literate and were left to count the royal treasures, leaving them with a hundred cavalry as assistants.
Wang Yuan took the rest of the cavalry and left the castle without hesitation.
While Qi Jiguang was counting the treasures, he suddenly heard screams from outside. It was the Sultan's family, including the infant son who was still nursing, who were all killed by the surrendering officials. They were more afraid of the survival of the royal family than Wang Yuan.
After two days of rest, more than 10,000 infantry prisoners were transformed by Wang Yuan into auxiliary troops to transport food. With thousands of newly added noble cavalry, they marched towards Qunu City in a mighty manner.
Qunu City, the capital of Harsha Dynasty.
There is also a record in Tang Seng's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which roughly means: "The king here gave birth to a thousand sons and a hundred daughters. There was a big tree immortal who lived by the Ganges River. He saw a princess going to the river to play.
, then she became ordinary and asked the king to marry her. However, the princess looked down on the immortal and thought she was too ugly. The king was afraid, so he gave away the little princess who was not yet a minor. The immortal thought that the little princess was not beautiful and cursed the other ninety-nine princesses.
She was hunched over, so the city was renamed 'Qunu City', also known as 'Miao Tongnu City'."
A few years ago, Humayun and Sher Shah had a decisive battle in Qunu City.
Humayun was defeated and did not even dare to return to Delhi. He directly retreated to Punjab with the remaining defeated soldiers, only to be expelled by his own brothers.
The troops in Qunu City were summoned by the Sultan to serve the king a long time ago. Now the troops in the city are empty, with only a hundred or so defenders left.
Faced with Wang Yuan's troops pressing down on the territory, a rebellion immediately broke out in the city, and the Hindus chose to kill officials and sacrifice the city.
Wang Yuan took the treasures and food in the city and continued to set off with his army. As a result, thousands of cavalry came to join him halfway, but they were small nobles nearby. Hearing that the Sultan had been defeated, they hurriedly came to submit to the new master.
Wang Yuan's army fought more and more, and after a month of fighting, they found that there was no city to attack. When the nearby nobles heard the news, they all came to submit to the king of Tianzhu.
Even Bangladesh, a land conquered by Sher Shah only two years ago, took refuge with the King of India with a thousand cavalry.
Wang Yuan convened with the princes in the land of Oude and issued three decrees:
Third, the taxes required by each princely state to attack were reduced by 20% compared with the Mughal Dynasty.
The princes and nobles from all over the country cheered and regarded the King of Tianzhu as their benevolent master. From now on, they only need to pay taxes every year and they can continue to dominate the country.
Wang Yuan led his army southward, and the Gondwana Kingdom, which had been resisting Sher Shah tenaciously, heard about Wang Yuan's "three chapters of the agreement" and faced the tens of thousands of troops that were about to come, so they also chose to surrender to the "King of Tianzhu".
In fact, Wang Yuan's rule was too generous, and he even promised not to recruit troops from various princely states. This was something that Humayun and Sher Shah could not do. How could the princely states not support him?
Wang Yuan, who had committed countless crimes in northern India, became the most benevolent King of Tianzhu in the eyes of the nobles!
When Wang Yuan returned to the army, he formed an alliance with the princes of the various Rajput states. This place had always been independent and could not be conquered by the Mughal Empire. Wang Yuan gave them a direct tax exemption and only asked them to donate 100 yuan a year.
A war horse.
There are more than ten feudal states here. When divided, some feudal states only donate two or three horses a year, while the stronger ones donate twenty or thirty horses a year.
The King of India was so kind that all the Rajputs chose to surrender!
Wang Yuan thus unified India, leaving only Nibala (Nepal), Assam and other remote states, which he didn't bother to pay attention to for the time being.
Conveniently, the Sikhs were also fooled. Wang Yuanlai resorted to religious tolerance, and North India immediately returned to a state of peace. Therefore, the Sikhs could not rapidly develop followers. Moreover, without a large number of Rajputs to join, the Sikhs could not form.
With a martial spirit, Sikhism in this time and space has probably always been weak.
The reputation of King Tianzhu soon spread throughout India and even to Afghanistan.
Humayun, who was fighting with his brothers in Afghanistan, was at a loss when he heard the news. He also wanted to return to India and become the Mughal emperor. Why was India directly unified? Alas, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's unify Afghanistan first.
