Chapter 896: The Mughal Empire Littered with Corpses (5)
"General! The general ——- "On the shore, the surviving Mughal soldiers looked around in shock, trying to find the figure of the general.
The generals are His Majesty's cronies, and if they are killed by the bombing, how will they explain to His Majesty.
It's a pity that there are only large craters and blood and flesh blown out by cannonballs all around, and their general has already become one of the minced meat.
Such a miserable scene made the surviving Mughal soldiers have to rejoice that they are not one of them, and they are still alive!
A surviving Mughal soldier somewhere found a bloody severed arm, holding the bloody severed arm, vigorously saying that it was their general, and taking the bloody severed arm back to the Mughal emperor with his own cleverness.
When the Mughal emperor saw the only bloody severed arm left, he was so shocked that he almost retched on the spot.
"Take it! Take! The Mughal emperor yelled angrily.
This bloody thing dares to be brought in front of him, damn it! Damn it!
The Mughal emperor wanted to kill!
"Da Ming! I swear, when the Qing army is defeated and my Mughal empire is restored, I will not let you go!" The Mughal emperor roared wildly, as if to vent the anger and despair in his heart.
However, no matter what the Mughal emperor shouted, it was a matter for him to defeat the Qing army and restore his Mughal empire.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether he can defeat the Qing army and restore his Mughal Empire, and I am afraid that it is much more likely that he will be destroyed by the Qing army.
All the Ming forces withdrew from the Mumbai area, leaving only the Mughal army and the Qing army to fight and die here.
The battle of Mumbai began as scheduled.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ————"
At the beginning of the "killing ——-" Qing army stormed two small cities not far from Mumbai, and fought it in less than two hours, and then more than 100,000 Qing soldiers came to the city of Mumbai and began to attack Mumbai.
Even if the Qing army did not have many shells, only enough to collapse the city walls and carry out a small-scale bombardment of the city, the battle of Mumbai did not last long, and in just two days, the hundreds of thousands of Mughal troops in the city collapsed, and the Qing army entered the city in large numbers.
Originally, with 40,000 flint guns in hand, the number of troops was more than that of the Qing army, and the city of Mumbai as a support, the morale of the Mughal army was actually not weaker than that of the Qing army, but the Mughal emperor dragged on for a long time, so that the Qing army continued to capture a large number of cities, plus the Mughal army was defeated in successive battles, and even a small-scale victory
None have ever been.
After such a long period of defeat, as well as the cold-blooded blood of the Mughal emperor, the families of many high-ranking Mughal soldiers forced them to fight to the death with the Qing army, and the people's hearts were already cold, the army's morale was weak, and the morale was low, how could it be the opponent of the Qing army.
Hundreds of thousands of Mughal troops were killed and wounded in less than a single achievement, and collapsed.
"Defeated! How can you lose! My Mughal Empire! The Mughal emperor roared in despair.
This is already the last army of the Mughal Empire, following the Mughal Emperor around half of the Mughal Empire, and finally had to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army in the area of Mumbai, the defeat of this army also means that the Mughal Empire is truly irretrievably collapsed.
"Kill, ——-" The shouts of the Qing army were approaching the direction where the Mughal emperor was.
"Nope! I'm not defeated yet! The Mughal emperor began to flee in fear, he wanted to escape from Bombay, and he still had room to turn over.
Unfortunately, the situation no longer allowed the Mughal emperor to escape.
"Whew!"
An arrow flew from outside the door and pierced the heart of the Mughal emperor.
"Poof!" The Mughal emperor spat blood from his mouth, his eyes widened, and he was full of extreme unwillingness.
Eventually, he reluctantly turned around to look at it, and then fell down with a thud.
Dolgon stepped through the gate and walked towards the Mughal Emperor's corpse with a blank face, and finally stopped at the Mughal Emperor's corpse.
"Hmph, you're finally dead! From today onwards, there will be no more Mughal Empire! Dolgon snorted, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of pride.
Although because of the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of flint guns were sent to the Mughal Empire, which greatly enhanced the resistance of the Mughal Empire and made this war of annihilation drag on for a long time, but in the end he still destroyed the Mughal Empire and made it a part of the Qing Dynasty.
The rise of the Qing Dynasty starts at this moment!
"Hahahaha, Zhu Cijiao, you wait! It won't be too long! Dolgon burst out laughing maniacally.
In fact, for such a long time, Dolgon had already found out that the Ming Dynasty sold flint guns to the Mughal Empire, not to warn the Qing Dynasty and not allow the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Mughal Empire, but just to get a steady stream of money from the Mughal Empire, otherwise why the Ming army has not entered the Mughal Empire, and even the Ming army garrison on the border has not increased for many years.
Dolgon was convinced that it was Zhu Ci who miscalculated, and Zhu Ci was indifferent to watching the Qing annex the Mughal Empire.
In fact, how did Dolgon know that it was not Zhu Ci's miscalculation at all, but that he had been in Zhu Ci's planning, and he and the Mughal Empire had been walking towards the route set by Zhu Ci's hesitation.
In any case, Dolgon thought that Zhu Ci had miscalculated, and finally killed the Mughal emperor and annexed the Mughal Empire.
After the capture of Bombay and the killing of the Mughal emperor, the prestige of the Qing army was like the sky, the Mughal Empire completely collapsed, and those cities that still belonged to the Mughal Empire did not need to be killed by the Qing army.
Around June of the 16th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army gradually completed the capture of the remnants of the Mughal Empire and completely annexed the Mughal Empire.
It has been almost five years since the first battle to destroy the Mughal Empire from Dolgon.
The Mughal Empire has been defeated for several years, and nearly three million troops have been defeated before and after, and the Qing army has also recruited millions of Mughal Indian untouchables to form the Indian flag to participate in the war, as well as hundreds of thousands of Manchu Eight Banners, servant cavalry, and Persian flags, etc., it can be said that in this short period of nearly five years, a total of more than four million troops fought and attacked on the land of the Mughal Empire.
And because the Mughal emperors continued to 'move the capital', the battlefield was brought to most of the territory of the Mughal Empire.
The spread of the war has continuously led to a large number of Mughal people of all ethnic groups fleeing in order to escape the war, and no one has the heart to grow food, during the first and second wars of annihilation, the Mughal people are barely supporting, but the third war of annihilation has been fought continuously for more than a year, and the places of war are also the widest, so that the Mughal Empire has reduced food production to an unprecedented level in more than a year.
In addition to the farmland where millions of armies on both sides are constantly marching and fighting and trampling, there are also abandoned farmland where people have fled the war.
There are even people who have fled the war and become refugees, and under hunger, they eat up and steal everything they can eat, including food seedlings! Yes, it's grain seedlings!
Tens of millions of hungry refugees are not picky eaters, and the grain seedlings are at least non-poisonous and can be eaten!
The trampling of the armies on both sides, wars, refugees, etc., under the multiplicity, the Mughal Empire has really become a red land for thousands of miles! Since the beginning of the sixteenth year of Daming Zhongxing, everything that can be eaten has been eaten, and everything that cannot be eaten has been eaten! A large number of displaced Mughal people began to starve to death, with no one to collect their bodies, and the corpses were in the wilderness.
It's another rainy season, and the rain hits the decomposing corpses and flows like a river.
The area of the war was too large, and the bloodiness of the war was too great, and there were no less than ten cities that were slaughtered by the Qing army.
Although the officials sent to take over the slaughtered cities ordered the collection of corpses, almost all of them were hastily buried, and many of the corpses were only covered with a thin layer of soil, and under the rain, countless stenches mixed into the rainwater and flowed everywhere with the rainwater.
Ming Zhongxing sixteen years seem to be more rain than in previous years, from March, the rain is very much, two days, even every day, at this time, the war is not over, still refugees everywhere, there are still starving to death every moment, the refugees who died of illness fell on the road in the wilderness, no one buried.
Finally, in the middle of April, the accumulated rainwater of the week-long sun was diluted, and the stench could not be concealed, and even the water in most wells was hidden because of the pollution of the rainwater.
A large number of corpses are in the wilderness, and after the continuous heavy rain, there is a great sun, which is simply the prelude to the plague!
At the end of April, the first plague broke out in a village in the southeast, and in a matter of days, it swept through five cities, and tens of thousands of Indians were infected with the plague, and the number is still spreading in alarming numbers.
By the third day, the Indian population had already begun to die of the plague.
Fear and despair are spreading with the plague.
This is not the end of the story, in early May, a plague broke out in the area of Vijayawada.
At the beginning, Dolgon led the Qing army to capture the city of Vijayawada, but at that time, the Mughal emperor had already fled to the south, and Dolgon ordered the slaughter of the city in anger, and more than 100,000 innocent people were killed.
The corpses were almost decomposed in the city, and after they were collected and buried, they were only covered with a thin layer of earth, and the heavy rain of the rainy season washed away the mud layer, revealing countless corpses that were not completely decomposed inside.
This contaminated rain polluted more water sources, first some wild animals were infected with the plague, and then some people were infected with the plague.
In just a few days, the people of seven or eight cities around Vijayawada were infected with the plague, more than 100,000 people were infected, and ninety percent of the people were infected.
The two plagues raged together, and the power was terrifying.
When Dolgon settled the war in Mumbai, killed the Mughal emperor, surrendered the remaining Mughal cities, and completely annexed the Mughal Empire, by mid-June, the plague had swept through half of the Mughal Empire, and even the people in Bengal, who were not forced by the war, began to be infected with the plague in large numbers.
And the Bengal area is the junction with the Ming Dynasty.
"Seal the border! Seal the border! "Knowing that the Mughal Empire was plagued, the Ming Dynasty immediately blocked the border and killed all the Mughal people who dared to blend into the territory of the Ming Dynasty to prevent the plague from spreading into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
