550 [I am not the king of the fallen country, you are all the ministers of the dead country]

The country of Vijayanaghar, called "Ananda Gong Germany in the West Heaven" in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", is it suddenly forked?

The process of its founding is suitable for making a movie, because it is very legendary.

However, it is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Hindu countries were wiped out by green religions, and only scattered small countries remained.

Two exiled princes, who were taught by Hindu hermits, led the oppressed Hindus in a war against the Green Religion. Halfway through, the brothers were both captured, and even converted to the Green Religion because of this, and then rebelled again.

Eventually, with the support of a large number of followers, the two princes re-established the Hindu state. After that, the southern conquest and the northern war almost unified South India. They eradicated the power of the local states, strengthened the centralized system, and proclaimed a policy of religious equality, where all religions could spread freely.

It has flourished for nearly a hundred years, and there have been three faint monarchs in a row, and the ministers have usurped the throne and changed the dynasty.

The new dynasty was not properly enthroned, local warlords swarmed, political contradictions intensified, and the country was divided into seven. The six small states that broke off were all turned into enemies and surrounded by the Hindu state of Vijayanaghar.

Let's put it this way, except for the Vijayanagar country, the whole of India is now under the influence of the Green Cult.

Twenty years ago, Krishna Dhiwa Raya took charge of the government, and the young king turned out to be the ruler. Actively trade, easing religion, centralizing power, sweeping away the decline in the country, and also using force to defeat the Bahmani Sultanate in the north into its own vassal state.

The Daming Water Division dared to send troops brazenly, in addition to the promotion of the drought in the eight provinces, but also because the male lord died of illness.

A country that has been weakened and corrupted for a hundred years, can a male lord really prosper? Perhaps, but twenty years is too short, and the male lord died too early, and he died suddenly in his thirties.

The internal contradictions that were forcibly suppressed, as soon as the male lord died, intensified in an instant.

Ministers are busy purging dissidents, new kings are desperately trying to seize power, and local lords do not listen to central decrees. Some people even made a fuss about the "Qing monarch's side", claiming that the previous king had died unexplained, and calling on the local lords to unite to avenge the male lord.

3,000 soldiers of the Ming Water Division and 12,000 troops of the Tianzhu Cotton Society, after landing, were like bamboos, and captured 17 cities in one go.

You can think of it as India's version of the "Wako" invasion, the country's main forces, all stationed on the northern border, and the southern region has been singing and dancing. Suddenly, the Ming thieves came from the sea and attacked their rich and weak south.

The new monarch of the central government succeeded to the throne, the emperor was busy with the courtiers to carry out the "great gift discussion", and the northern border had just experienced a major drought, and the main forces there were carrying out wage activities.

The live Jiajing Dynasty remake!

But the Ming invaders are not their own warlords. They had huge ships of artillery at sea, and a landing force of 15,000 men, divided into three routes, and directly penetrated the southern part of the country of Vijayanagar.

It was really killed, landing from the eastern coast and killing all the way to the western coast.

Port of Cannanoor.

A group of Portuguese colonial soldiers, stupidly looking at the Ming army, they were a little puzzled, how could the other party come by land from the west.

"Prepare for battle!"

The Portuguese defenders inside the castle shouted one after another, panicked and ran to the battle position.

Man Yong, the son of Man Zheng, was the commander of the Southern Route Army, with 5,000 soldiers under his command, as well as 8,000 Indian auxiliaries recruited on the spot. It is said that it is an auxiliary soldier, but in fact, they are all Indian untouchables who have been captured to transport supplies, in addition to their bad brains, these untouchables are quite obedient, and they will not think of escaping if they are given food.

The gate of the castle opened, and a Portuguese officer, with a horse, rode out and ran to the front of the Daming Naval Division: "This is the Portuguese castle, please abide by the Malacca Agreement and evacuate Cannanoor immediately!" ”

Man Yong is young and vigorous, his brain is full of muscles, and he doesn't bother to reason with the other party: "Either fight or get out!" What is the Malacca Agreement? Malacca is almost gone! ”

The country of Malacca is indeed dying.

Its capital, Malacca, is isolated by the sea, and it is difficult to control the rear advantageously. The Ming settlers continued to encroach on the land and grow tobacco and grain everywhere. Johor, the capital of Johor, became the residence of the eunuch Zhu Ying a few years ago, and the neighborhood was full of immigrants who went south to pan for gold.

It's just that he is still guilty, Malacca City is in a special location, and Man Zheng and Ning Botao have always wanted to pull it out.

The young king of Malacca, well aware of his situation, was planning to abandon Malacca and Johor and move his capital to Sumatra across the strait.

Back to the present.

The Portuguese castle in Cannanoor, built more than a decade ago, is not only very strong, but also has a full 1,200 people.

Seeing that war could not be avoided, the Portuguese officers stopped talking and returned to the castle to prepare for war.

"Major General, there is no need to fight this castle," the deputy general Chen Baitang persuaded, "This castle is heavily guarded, even if we can defeat it, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." You should go north as soon as possible and join the army on the middle and north routes, and if you go slowly, you may miss the decisive battle. ”

Man Yong seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and muttered: "The territory in the south has been occupied by us, and there is only one port left in front of us. ”

Chen Baitang said: "After destroying the Ananda Kingdom, it is not too late to return to the division to drive away the Portuguese." Major General, the decisive battle is important. ”

What Vijayana Nagar country, what West Heaven Ananda Gong Germany, the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy Division felt that it was too embarrassing, and simply referred to it as "Ananda country".

Man Yong stood there with his waist crossed for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw the army, go to the north, and let these red-haired ghosts live for a few more days!" ”

Although it was spring at this time, it belonged to the hot season in India, and the climate was pleasant when the troops were first dispatched, and the temperature increased sharply as they fought.

Man Yong led his troops all the way north, burning, killing and looting along the way, and specialized in robbing Kshatriyas and Brahmins. Because the military rations they carry are not enough, they can only feed the big households with war, in order to prevent these high-castes from making trouble, they simply kill them after robbing!

And what collusion with the high castes, enslaving the lower castes and untouchables, that is the routine of the Western colonizers.

In the early days, the Western colonizers were few in number, so they resorted to the usual trick of provoking the lower castes against the upper castes. They gradually realized that something was wrong, that these low-caste mud could not support the wall, and that there was no spirit of resistance in their bones. Well, since the lower castes are lying flat, let's fight the upper castes. After subduing the high castes as dogs, and then using the dogs to herd the lower caste lambs.

There are dozens of shareholders standing behind them, and they can organize countless immigrants every year.

The high castes must be killed, the land of the high castes must be robbed, and then the land must be distributed to the shareholders to grow cotton. If the high castes don't die, where do the cotton fields of the shareholders come from?

All for the sake of shareholders!

With 1,500 horsemen, Babur was able to sweep through North India and establish the Mughal Empire.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has 15,000 soldiers, they are coming with guns and cannons, and it is too simple to sweep through South India, as long as they don't provoke Bengal in the northeast.

Don't look at the capital of Bangladesh last year, it was captured by the Mughals, but the economy, population, and culture of the people are there. Historically, for more than a decade, Bangladesh has continued to counterattack, killing most of the Mughal land, and Bangladesh even has the momentum of unifying North India.

It was getting hotter and hotter, and by the time Man Yong joined forces with the other two armies, the temperature on the Deccan Plateau was already approaching 35 degrees.

And it is also damp and hot, and non-combat attrition is rapidly increasing.

In two or three months, the southern territory of the Vijayanagar kingdom was lost, and the new king was still arguing with his ministers. Their main forces are all on the northern border, and because of the drought last year, they are short of food, and they are determined not to return to Qinwang because they cannot get food.

Seeing that the enemy had joined forces and came straight to the royal city, the king and his ministers finally panicked, and hurriedly promised the border guards that they would receive double wages as long as they arrived in the capital.

The royal city was called "Vijayagana" and was near Bellali in later India. It is surrounded by highland terrain with a large low-lying plain in the middle, on which the royal city was built.

It is a megacity with a population of at least five or six hundred thousand.

The local troops watched the play in the early stage, but now they are hurrying over. In the case that the border army did not return, the king temporarily recruited troops, plus the local army that rushed to King Qin, and for a time gathered an army of 100,000.

Then the ministers quarreled again.

One faction said that they would defend the city and wait for the main force of the border army to rush to help; One faction said to go out of the city to fight, we have 100,000 troops, and we are afraid of more than 10,000 people on the other side?

The two sides quarreled and used force, and fought in the royal city by themselves, and the young king, who had succeeded to the throne for less than half a year, was so frightened that he did not dare to leave the palace.

Historically, this young king died an unknown death in his twenties, and his son was supported by the minister as a puppet for the rest of his life.

The warring faction quickly emerged victorious, sending the defenders to the physical extermination, and then went to house arrest the king.

In order to enhance their own prestige and divert internal contradictions, the leaders of the fighting faction were so awesome that they exploded. Not only did he take an army of 100,000 out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Daming Naval Division, but he also forcibly brought the king to the army to watch the battle.
