India has a long history, but it has rarely formed a unified dynasty like China.In the long history of India, the South Asian subcontinent has been divided and divided for a long time, and even the more famous Mauryan Dynasty, Gupta Dynasty, and Mughal Empire have never really completed unification.More than a hundred years ago, after the collapse of the Timurid Khanate, its royal descendant Babur led an army to invade the South Asian subcontinent and established the Mughal Empire, and in the era of the third emperor Akbar, it entered its heyday, and together with the Ottoman Turkey and the Sassanid Dynasty, it became the three most powerful empires in the world.However, with the rise of the West, the whole world, as if agreed, all three empires went into decline together in the same period.The Mughal Empire began to enter a period of decline due to Shah Jahan's large-scale construction projects, the construction of the Taj Mahal at the expense of national resources, and the heavy taxation and prominent religious problems.Today, the Mughal emperor is Aurangzeb, the son of Shah Jahan, who ascended to the throne in 1657 and became the seventh Mughal monarch.After Aurangzeb became Mughal emperor, he did not solve the growing internal problems of the Mughal Empire during the time of his father Shah Jahan, but began to use military force to continue to expand the Mughal territory.In recent years, the ambitious Aurangzeb has expanded his empire into Afghanistan and Bengal, and forced princely states at the southern tip of the Deccan Plateau into submission.The military victory temporarily covered up the internal problems of the empire, and also allowed Aurangzeb to gradually consolidate his position, suppressing his voice of injustice.By the Ganges, the city of Delhi.Aurangzeb lived in Delhi after his accession to the throne and did not travel to Agra, the capital of Shah Jahan's time.In the palace, Emperor Aurangzeb walked around the palace, in a rather irritable mood.The empire is in its prime on the surface, but the internal problems are actually a little unbearable.His father repaired the Taj Mahal, which took more than twenty years and spent all the savings of the empire, and in order to keep the empire running, he could only collect a poll tax from non-***.This temporarily compensated for the emptiness of the treasury, but it made the untouchables more miserable, and at the same time exacerbated the discontent of the Hindus, who were also dissatisfied with the Deccan Plateau, which had become alienated from the Empire.This annoyed Aurangzeb, and Damur, the minister next to him, advised: "Great Khan, it is better to start a war, so that you can not only divert the contradictions, but also deter the opposition after victory." ”The Mughal state was founded by the Turkic Mongols, and it had some of the characteristics of the Mongol regime, that is, once the death of the previous Great Khan, the empire was prone to fall apart, or fall into a civil war over the throne of the Khan.Aurangzeb was not the rightful Mughal heir, having defeated three of his brothers and imprisoned his father before becoming Mughal emperor.This made Aurangzeb face a lot of doubts after he ascended the throne, and his means was to prove himself through war."
That's a good idea!"
Aurangzeb nodded, "Some time ago, when the Yarkand people saw the imperial army, they didn't retreat and dared to attack, they really didn't take me seriously!"
”"Great Khan, Yarkand now seems to be occupied by the Ming Dynasty.Their prime minister has sent letters of state several times, condemning us for encroaching on their land!
”Military Minister Damur said: "And warn us not to provoke trouble at the border, otherwise we will bear the consequences."
At that time, Timur Khan, because of the strength of the Ming people, gave up the attack on the Ming people.Now judging from the results of the previous conflict, the combat power of the Ming people is indeed good, I think it is better to fight Bangladesh!
”"Encroaching on their land?
Chahatai is obviously the territory of Ben Khan!
”Aurangzeb was furious, "Whether it is the Ming people or Yarkand, they dare to threaten the Mughals, it is really unbeknownst to the heavens and the earth."
The last time I lost, it was just a lack of troops, and the warning of the Ming people was just a bluff to delay the army, and it couldn't be concealed from Ben Khan.Now that Ben Khan is no longer what it used to be, and the Mughals are also the most powerful country, the Ming people are nothing at all.Ben Khan has decided, and he will fight Yarkand!
”The founder of the Mughal was a descendant of Timur, and his maternal line was a member of the Chahatai Khanate.Although a hundred years have passed, Aurangzeb, the Turkic Mongols, have merged with the descendants of the Caucasian Aryans of the upper castes in India, and their characteristics have been Indianized, but Aurangzeb still believes that the Chahatai Khanate is also his territory.Damur's original intention was to conquer Bengal, where the plains of the three rivers converge, the land was very fertile and relatively easy to fight, and he did not want Aurangzeb to be haunted by the defeat of the Mughal army in the north a year earlier.When Aurangzeb was talking to the minister about Yarkand, he didn't expect that Wu Sangui led the army and had already come to the door.Yarkand's grain was only enough for two months, and after Wu Sangui arrived in Luntai, after Sun Kewang's encouragement, he decided to invade India.The Zhou army moved swiftly and soon gathered 20,000 cavalry at Shache, but the army did not move south, but first left the Green Ridge, entered the territory of Yuz, and then marched south from the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains into India.This is the choice that Sun Kewang made after research.India's terrain, like China's, is relatively closed.China's east and south are the sea, and the southwest is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the only way to invade is from the north, and the Han people understood this, so they built the Great Wall and passes on the southward passage of the foreign race to stop the invasion of foreign races.India is surrounded by the sea on three sides to the east, west and south, and the Tibetan Plateau to the north, and the only connection with the outside world is the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains.Speaking of which, India is easier to defend than China, but for some reason, Indians do not seem to have the awareness to defend this strategic location.Historically, whether it was the Aryans of the Western lineage, the Greeks, the Persians and Arabs of the Middle East, or the Turkic people and the Otsutsuki clan who were driven away, they all entered India from this mountain pass.This time, the goal of the Zhou army was to loot supplies from India, so Sun Kewang suggested taking this relatively easy path.At this time, 20,000 cavalry of the Zhou army marched forward in the desolate mountains, and the road was flanked by bare red hills, and the terrain was very steep.Wu Sangui rode a war horse, and the 20,000 Zhou troops behind him meandered forward, and the generals raised their heads from time to time, looking left and right, worried that they would suddenly kill a group of men."
This place is fucking dangerous!
It can be said that one husband is a close to ten thousand people!
”Xia Guoxiang secretly said, "Zuo Xiang asked us to take this road, what if someone ambushes or blocks us?"
”Sun Kewang rode on his war horse and said with a smile: "General Xia, rest assured, this appearance has been checked by the merchants, and the Mughals are not stationed here." ”Wu Sangui looked at the two sides of the valley, the shape was no less prosperous than the Sword Pavilion in Yushu, and his heart suddenly soared with pride, and he raised his whip and sighed: "Tianzhu has such a prosperous place, and it has been destroyed by foreign races several times, isn't its clan all mediocre and evil?"
”Between the words, Wu Sangui already had the heart to divide this place.()
