854 wishful thinking

As a result, Aurangzeb gave up the idea of peace.

One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, then, it's better to divide the winner and lose!

Although your Ming Emperor seems to be really powerful, but how can I, Aurangzeb, be a soft persimmon? Who wins and who loses, not necessarily!

Aurangzeb thought so in his heart, and began to prepare, he was going to have a showdown with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!

One thing that he didn't expect was that as the Ming Emperor led the army eastward and got closer and closer to Bengal, those local governors were afraid of the Ming Emperor's menacing, or it can also be said that they were afraid of the Ming Emperor's arrogant practices, and would not give them a way to live, so they took their wealth and led the troops to flee eastward, all of them came to join their Royal Highness the Third Prince, who was the most capable of fighting.

Aurangzeb really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom could give himself a divine assist, so that he could have more wealth and troops without much effort.

In this way, in this world, whether you are the emperor of the Ming Kingdom or Shah Jahan, I, Aurangzeb, will not be afraid of you at all. No, not to be afraid of you, but to trample them under my feet, to make my Aurangzeb a stepping stone to the top of the world!

Not to mention, Aurangzeb's army grew stronger and stronger, and later, it reached 200,000 people, which he never expected when he set out for Bengal from Delhi with the will of Shah Jahan.

However, with the arrival of the Ming Emperor's army, he slowly began to feel the pressure on his side. The local governor brought not only wealth and troops, but also fear of the Ming Emperor.

This fear is contagious. Whether it was between the local governors or in the army, the discussion began to affect Aurangzeb's original army.

This kind of thing was immediately discovered by Aurangzeb, who was most concerned about military power. Worthy of being the most warlike prince in the Mughal Empire, he decisively began to take action to correct this trend.

On the one hand, Aurangzeb was not merciless to the local governors who were most afraid of the Ming Emperor, and ruthlessly packed up a few, and also took the opportunity to seize their wealth and military power.

On the other hand, he also made people in his command, not only in the army, but also in the people, and began to vigorously publicize his victory against the Ming army.

In this propaganda, it is inevitable to exaggerate, and later, he Aurangzeb, as if he were Ashoka alive, in short, is infinitely powerful and invincible, and any powerful and arrogant enemy will end up in ashes before him.

His two tricks really worked, and the fear of the army, even the people, or any other idea, all came to an abrupt end. At least on the bright side, there is no more.

It was also at this time that the troops of the army led by Emperor Chongzhen finally approached Bengal.

………………

By this time, Emperor Chongzhen had of course heard of Aurangzeb's reputation and knew that this prince of the Mughal Empire was a man who could fight. But what?

Emperor Chongzhen not only did not become cautious, but even more rushed forward, and the spearhead of the army was directed at Dhaka, and there was a big battle to determine the situation of Dhaka. The night of the Ming army was not collected, and it was released from afar, and in the territory of Bengal, it began to gallop across the country, and it was very arrogant.

And the army led by Emperor Chongzhen was even more fanfare and momentum, much larger than at any time on his eastward march.

Faced with this situation, Aurangzeb only sneered and was not frightened.

His subordinates suggested that Aurangzeb lead the army to attack, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army was so arrogant, to take them by surprise and kill the prestige of the Ming army.

To this, Aurangzeb grimaced and said to them: "You are not stupid! The Ming army came with victory, and the soldiers were in full swing. At this time, how can we face it head-on, then it is in the hands of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and he wishes that we would fight him at such a time. ”

was reprimanded by him like this, and the generals who spoke suddenly didn't dare to say it anymore.

However, Aurangzeb continued, because he wanted to give his men enough confidence: "The Ming Emperor came from afar, and even if they won successive battles, the soldiers would be exhausted, and only victory would be painted outside. As long as this shell is cracked, will the day of our army's great victory be far away? ”

Hearing this, his subordinates couldn't help but nod.

From Delhi to Bengal, it was nearly 3,000 miles away, not to mention, the Ming army did not rest before taking Delhi. The Ming army is tired, that must be an inevitable thing.

"Also, in this Bengal, do you think the Ming Emperor's department will be familiar with it?" Aurangzeb spoke louder and louder, "Who is familiar with our army here?" ”

The Ming Emperor's army came in from Kashmir and went east, and the Mughals who surrendered to him along the way were also from the west, and they were certainly not familiar with the Bengali side.

The topography of Bengal can be said to be different from other Mughal places, there are rivers and ponds everywhere, and the cavalry is not very easy to use here.

When Aurangzeb said this, he said with that kind of categorical confidence: "Our army should focus on defense, take advantage of the terrain of Bengal, consume the sharp spirit of the Ming army, and make it exhausted, so that it is a good opportunity for our army to fight a decisive battle!" Do you understand? ”

"Your Highness is wise!" When his men heard this, they were impressed, and the loudness of their response was so loud that Aurangzeb was satisfied.

Sometimes, though, a lot of things are wishful thinking.

In other words, Aurangzeb was on the Mughal side, and he did have military talent, an undefeated reputation, and a tendency to overshadow Shah Jahan. However, this is also only a matter within the Mughals. The reason why he has this reputation is only because he has never met Emperor Chongzhen!

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen led a large army, as if the front of the army was directed at Dhaka, the stronghold of Aurangzeb, and it seemed that there was a situation of defeating Aurangzeb with a victory.

However, when they got closer, the advance of the army had not yet engaged Aurangzeb's troops on the periphery, and suddenly, the direction of the army's advance, just north of Dhaka, crossed directly over Dhaka, and continued eastward, without coming to Dhaka at all.

When Aurangzeb received this news and hurriedly led the army in pursuit, because of the Bengal rivers and many ponds, he could not increase the speed of the pursuit, and at most he followed the Ming army to eat ashes.

By this time, of course, Aurangzeb had already understood that Emperor Chongzhen had not thought of fighting him from the beginning. In other words, at the beginning, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom might still want to fight him and destroy him. However, when the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom got closer and knew that he had more than 200,000 troops in his hands, he changed his mind. Instead of fighting him again, he ran back to Donggo.

In this regard, of course, Aurangzeb will not say that he has miscalculated, but told his generals that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is afraid of him! Look, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom ran away with his tail between his legs!

In this Mughal territory, Shah Jahan saw the Ming Emperor, and he fled when he heard the news; However, when the emperor of the Ming Kingdom saw him Aurangzeb, he also fled when he heard the news. It can be seen that who should be the real king of the Mughals?

Needless to say, the morale of the army under his command was greatly boosted for this. Aurangzeb, apparently, would be the Great Khan of the Mughals. Those of them who follow Aurangzeb will of course benefit, and they will have to benefit from the dragon's work!

………………

On the border between Bengal and Dongwu, Zhang Huangyan led a heavy army here. However, although it is a heavy army, it is actually about 100,000 people.

Dongwu is vast and sparsely populated, or has experienced the previous decisive battle of Ava, Dongwu's Qingzhuang was overpacked by the Ming army, plus some hostile tribes, and now it has only been a few years, Qingzhuang is far from enough, even if there is support from Yunnan, the strength is actually limited.

Therefore, when Zhang Huangyan heard that Aurangzeb in Bangladesh had more and more troops, he was worried. For this Aurangzeb, after playing against him for so long, he has discovered the cunning of this Aurangzeb.

When the army was small before, it caused a lot of pressure on Dongwu's side, and he could even use Dongwu's side to control more military power for himself. Such an opponent made Zhang Huangyan, who didn't have much experience in leading the army to fight, feel that the pressure was really getting bigger and bigger.

Although later, Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, arrived with an army. Relatively speaking, Mu Tianbo has fought a war, and his ancestors are the nobles who guard Yunnan. However, Zhang Huangyan still has no bottom in his heart.

If it was just an ordinary opponent, with Mu Tianbo rushing to help, he wouldn't think like this. However, the enemy he faced was the cunning Mughal prince!

However, for Zhang Huangyan's negative and pessimistic attitude, Mu Tianbo, who had just arrived, was a little disapproving, and wanted to fight several times, but Zhang Huangyan rejected it, and he was a little dissatisfied with this, but he couldn't help it.

Not only Zhang Huangyan is the governor of Dongwu, but also the official of the Ming Dynasty, and he, the prince of Qianguo, has a lot of actual power. What's more critical is that Zhang Huangyan used the emperor's will to suppress him, saying that the emperor asked him to focus on guarding, and remember not to act brutely.

When Mu Tianbo stayed on the front line for a long time, he slowly learned how his opponent turned the clouds and rain in Bangladesh, and he was a little bottomless.

Later, when Aurangzeb's army was more and more, as many as more than 200,000, whether it was Zhang Huangyan or Mu Tianbo, they were a little panicked. While guarding the border with all his might, he tried to draw as many troops as possible from the territory of Donggo, and even sent messengers inland to ask for more reinforcements.

On this day, they were discussing things in the lobby and filling in the gaps in the defense, when suddenly, they heard hurried footsteps outside.

This situation made Zhang Huangyan, who heard the movement, suddenly shocked. Because there have been a few similar things before, and it was the cunning Aurangzeb who sent troops over, and this time, could it be that Aurangzeb led the troops again?
