Chapter 1029: Urgent Peace


After the Zhou army defeated the Mughal army of 200,000 at the Sutlej River, Wu Sangui led the generals of the Zhou army, carrying tens of thousands of prisoners and countless military assets, approaching the Mughal capital Delhi.The Mughal Empire was also an outsider to India, and the Hindus were subject to the Mughal Empire because of the Mughal force.Now that the Mughals have entered India for more than 100 years, the original Turkic cavalry, just like the Eight Banners soldiers who occupied Mongolia in the Central Plains, have long been corrupted.The 200,000-strong army was defeated by the Zhou State, which shocked all the forces in the Mughal territory and greatly shook the foundation of the Mughals.Wu Sangui led a large army all the way east, and the Mughal nobles fled, while the Hindus in the Indian princely states had long been accustomed to being conquered by all kinds of people.As long as the new conquerors were able to guarantee the interests of the high-caste nobility, they were willing to cooperate with the conquerors and help the new rulers to rule the untouchables of India.On the way to Wu Sangui's march, the Hindus, although they did not flee, did not resist the Zhou army, but prepared food and sent beautiful women and silver money to reward the army.This made Wu Sangui feel like he was being greeted as a king.Delhi, which had not been the capital of the Mughals before, was unwilling to stay with the house arrester of Al Ahla with Shah Jahan, so he made Delhi his capital.The city of Delhi, originally the capital of the Delhi Sultanate, was a huge city with a large population of more than half a million people, and most of the Mughal nobles lived here.At this time, 20,000 Zhou troops were encamped in the northwest of Delhi, in the upper reaches of the Yamuna River, with tens of thousands of prisoners and about 100,000 horses.The tents of the Zhou army are all over the place, the war horses neigh, and the camps are full of torches, which reflect each other with the lights in the city of Delhi, like two nebulae.At this time, Wu Sangui stood outside the big tent, looking at the huge city area of Delhi under the lights, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that outside the Central Plains, there is such a huge and prosperous city." ”Now the Zhou army has moved from the relatively dry Indus Valley to the Ganges River Valley, which has a humid climate and abundant precipitation.Along the way, Zhou Jun discovered a lot of cities with a population of tens of thousands or even close to 100,000, which opened Wu Sangui's eyes.In the hearts of him and many Zhou Jun, except for the Central Plains, there were barbarian lands all around, barbaric and backward, but although India is divided between rich and poor, and the untouchables at the bottom live like beggars, the life of the upper class is tasteful, and there are certain achievements in architecture, culture, and religion.Sun Kewang was also a little surprised, after all, there were cities with such a large population, and the Ming Dynasty was rare, only six or seven."

Sun Xiang, how about the widow directly exterminate the Mughal this time?"

Wu Sangui looked at Delhi in the lights and suddenly proposed.With 20,000 horses, the Mughal army of 200,000 was defeated, and the Zhou army went all the way to Delhi, and the Indians did not put up fierce resistance to the Han when the Manchus entered the customs, but from top to bottom, there was a breath of despair, broken jars, and giving up resistance.Looking at the fertile Ganges River valley and seeing the gorgeous buildings, Wu Sangui's ambition swelled.Sun Kewang shook his head, "Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry.This Mughal is too big to swallow in one bite, so it should be built and collected now, and extort a sum of money and grain from the Mughals. ”Wu Sangui looked at the bustling city of Delhi and said with a smile: "Wouldn't that widow become a Khan of Jieli." ”At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic cavalry invaded Guanzhong and killed Jingyang, which was only forty miles away from Chang'an, and the Beijing division was shaken.At this time, Chang'an soldiers and horses were only tens of thousands, and Tang Taizong was forced to set up a suspicious strategy, and then signed an alliance under the city, and was forced to provide money to the Turks in exchange for Jieli Khan's retreat.Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Do you think this Mughal can be compared to the Tang Dynasty?"

Can its master stand side by side with Tang Taizong?

”Wu Sangui shook his head with a smile, "I can't, I'm all mediocre!"

”Sun Kewang said: "In this case, it is better to leave him for the time being, so as to maintain the land of Tianzhu, so as not to fall into chaos after the collapse of the Mughals, which is not conducive to the conquest of our army." ”After the Zhou army invaded the Mughals, Sun Kewang found that his country was divided from top to bottom, and there was no centripetal force at the bottom, so it was better to leave this rotten regime for the time being, maintain Indian rule, and facilitate the Zhou State to encroach and plunder India with the treaty.Wu Sangui nodded, "Okay, then extort a lot of money." ”At this time, a general hurriedly came, "Your Majesty, the Mughal sent a messenger here." ”When Wu Sangui heard this, he said to Sun Kewang: "Prime Minister, go and see it." ”Sun Kewang bowed slightly, bowed, and turned to leave.The arrival of the Zhou army in Delhi made the princes, nobles, and religious leaders living in Delhi feel extremely frightened.The cities of most countries in the world are not like ancient Chinese cities, which have built walls that are dozens of miles long to protect the government, the army, and the people, so that the people can take refuge in the city during war.This is a cultural difference, China has always been humanistic, while in other regions, most of the rulers have taken care of themselves and built a castle to fence themselves.Now Delhi has tens of thousands of troops, but there are no walls to shelter it, and the city is under great threat, and everyone is terrified.The Mughal nobles, as well as the religious leaders, panicked, put pressure on Aurangzeb, who had taken refuge in the Red Fort, hoping that Aurangzeb would sue for peace with the Zhou army, give him some money and food, and send the Zhou army away.After all, this matter was provoked by Aurangzeb, and the domestic nobles began to complain about why they repeatedly provoked Zhou in the first place.Now everyone is blaming Aurangzeb, isn't it good to live in peace, you have to provoke others, others have warned you, but you still haven't listened, this time you were beaten, not to mention, and it affected the entire Mughal Empire.Many of the nobles who had originally supported Aurangzeb reconsidered asking the previous emperor, who was under house arrest, to come out of the mountain and replace Aurangzeb.This put Aurangzeb under great pressure, so he had to send Prime Minister Modi to negotiate with the Zhou army's camp, hoping to save money and disaster in exchange for the Zhou army's withdrawal.At this time, Modi was led to a tent by the Zhou soldiers to wait.He sat in the tent, thinking about the current situation, and was very pessimistic in his heart, the Zhou army defeated the 200,000 Mughal army, and the momentum was in full swing, and the soldiers and horses advanced to the city of Delhi, and the fat was already in his mouth, how could he give up taking Delhi."

I don't know when the Great Zhou Khan will be able to summon him?"

Modierbi asked cautiously in Mongolian.The soldier standing with his sword in the tent glanced at him coldly, and then continued to stand there, ignoring it at all.Feeling the fierce aura emanating from the armor, Modi immediately shut up and could only fidget.At this moment, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Sun Kewang entered with a laugh surrounded by the armor soldiers, "I've kept you waiting!"
