As soon as Shah Jahan heard the advice of the horses, the first thing he asked was: How many men did Aurangzeb bring?

Obviously, he is not at ease with his son!

"Back to the Great Khan, the soldiers and horses led by His Royal Highness the Third Prince are about 15 to 200,000."

Hearing this, Shah Jahan was a little uneasy.

The number of troops in his hands, including the troops collected on the road, is counted together, that is, about 150,000. This means that Aurangzeb's forces are likely to be more than him.

All along, Shah Jahan has been suppressing Aurangzeb because of his military talents, and he will never let him have too many troops at his disposal. Even the last time Aurangzeb won the Battle of Dongwu and asked for more troops, he refused to agree to send them.

However, it backfired, and now Aurangzeb still controls so many troops. Thinking of the kind of ambitious gaze that his son would inadvertently show, Shah Jahan felt a chill rise from the back of his spine.

In fact, the son wanted to seize the throne of Lao Tzu, which was considered a tradition in the Mughal Empire.

During the time of Akbar the Great, his son Jahangir rebelled and tried to seize his position as Laozi, but was suppressed. However, when Akbar the Great was seriously ill in his final years, he was finally coerced into agreeing to let Jahangir take over the position of emperor.

Shah Jahan is the son of Jahangir, who also rebelled against his old son at the beginning, failed to seize the throne, and wandered for seven years, and finally Jahangir died of illness, allowing Shah Jahan to get his wish.

If the original historical development is followed, Shah Jahan will fall ill in bed a few years later, and then Aurang Zebu rebelled and directly seized the throne, which is much stronger than his Lao Tzu and his grandfather.

Anyway, at this time, Shah Jahan clearly felt that the position under his ass was unstable.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, he ordered the army to be stationed and sent for Aurangzeb to be summoned to him.

………………

Aurangzeb, on his part, was thinking that it would be best to lure Shah Jahan into his army, so that he could take down Lao Tzu without fighting.

As a result, before a safe countermeasure could be discussed, Shah Jahan's messenger arrived, announcing that Aurangzeb had defeated the Ming emperor, and Shah Jahan was overjoyed and asked him to go with his meritorious generals to meet him and receive the reward.

Just as Shah Jahan knew his son, Aurangzeb certainly understood what his son was planning, and of course he would not be fooled.

At this time, he has enough military power in his hands, and his waist pole should not be too hard.

Therefore, Aurangzeb did not bother to hide it, and immediately summoned his generals and announced that his father Khan had been coerced by traitorous ministers, and that he had raised an army to clear the king's side, and those who agreed stood on the left and those who disagreed on the right.

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on his subordinate generals, without blinking.

With a "bang", his generals, almost as soon as he finished speaking, all ran to the left, and no one hesitated.

Because they all know the ferocity of Aurangzeb, and those who dare to hesitate at such a time will definitely be doomed.

So, in this way, Aurangzeb led his army of nearly 200,000 men, and took advantage of the large number of people to come directly to Shah Jahan's side.

When Shah Jahan heard this, he jumped up in anger and immediately issued a decree saying that his son Aurangzeb had plotted against him, and that he would reward and kill the loyal generals who had rebelled.

In this way, the men and horses on both sides, which can be said to have gathered the two armies with the largest number of troops in the Mughal Empire, shouted "rebellion on the other side" on one side and "Qingjun side" on the other, and fought like this.

Not to mention, Shah Jahan's fears are justified.

Aurangzeb fought for the throne, and the offensive was like a tide, and after a day of stalemate, Shah Jahan's side could not withstand it.

Of course, there is also a very important reason why Shah Jahan can't be defeated, that is, the strength on his side is mostly in the capital city of Delhi, and as a result, he was defeated by the Ming Emperor, which made him suffer heavy losses.

Now that he can't beat his son's fate, Shah Jahan knows it very well in his heart. Therefore, as soon as he saw that he couldn't beat it, he hurriedly ran away.

When Aurangzeb saw this, he was willing to give up, and if Shah Jahan was not captured, his throne would be unstable.

You must know that during the time of Akbar the Great, Delhi was taken and the Mughals were almost destroyed, but in the end, Akbar the Great still killed him and won the world again.

Therefore, Aurangzeb did not have the heart to recruit the troops loyal to Shah Jahan, so he chased after the defeated army and killed a river of blood. For him, as long as Shah Jahan is there, these people are unstable factors, and it is the easiest to kill.

In addition to this, he chased after Shah Jahan's ass who fled west, and did not give him a chance to stop and reorganize his troops.

At this time, it was a critical moment for the Mughal Empire to belong to the throne, and Aurangzeb's mind had forgotten that there was still the Ming army on the Bengal border.

……………………

Although he forgot, Emperor Chongzhen would not forget, and observed his movements through the eavesdropping system every day.

The great battle between Aurangzeb and Shah Jahan was naturally learned by the eavesdropping seeds spread by Emperor Chongzhen along the way, although the battle situation was not very detailed, but for Emperor Chongzhen, as long as a big war broke out, it was enough.

So, on the day when he received the news through eavesdropping seeds, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly issued a decree that the whole army ended its rest and changed to combat mode.

On the side of the Ming army, it is said that it is resting, but in fact, it is not true. The elite cavalry led by Emperor Chongzhen was dispersed, and the Mughal infantry army was reorganized, so that they could be as familiar with the Ming army's operations as possible. A few months is not short, not long, on the whole, these Mughal infantry are much more elite than when they came all the way east.

Hearing the news that the emperor ordered to prepare for war, they all felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the period of torture finally ended.

This time the war was completely different from before, although Emperor Chongzhen was still in command in person, but he also ordered Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Dongwu, to follow up, and every time he hit a place, he was asked to come to Zhang Bang to settle the people and implement the rule, instead of leaving after the fight was done before.

An army of 200,000, claimed to be 500,000, divided into ten routes, and almost at the same time, fought into Bengal. The momentum is so great that it is like the Ming Dynasty is attacking the whole country.

On Dhaka's side, Odom always thought that he had fooled the Ming Emperor and made the Ming army dare not make any changes, so he had been proud, thinking that he would complete this mission, and he would be the prime minister of the Mughal Empire in the future.

As a result, the scouts he sent out to various places came to him like a queue to tell him where the Ming army had come from.

At first, Odom was relatively calm, but later, he found that there was a Ming army here, tens of thousands, and where there was a Ming army, tens of thousands......

By the end of the day, he's going to be scared to pee! There are so many Lu Mingguo troops, flocked from all directions, it seems that there are still 500,000, and they only have tens of thousands of troops, and they are not elite, how can this battle be fought?

didn't say it, how could Odom, a courtier who could rebel with the prince, have the idea of martyrdom, so he immediately ordered to loot the whole city, leaving nothing for the Ming army, and then ran away.

As soon as this order was given, the city of Dhaka was crying wolf. The army will be scattered and looted, and it will not be recovered, at least for a short time.

As soon as his order was issued, Emperor Chongzhen had already learned about it. Without saying anything, he immediately sent 10,000 cavalry, one man and two horses, led by Zhou Yuji, to rush forward, and by the next morning, he rushed to the outside of Dhaka.

At this time, Odom was waiting for his subordinates to loot the property, but he didn't expect to wait for the Ming cavalry, and suddenly, he was so frightened that he didn't even want the army, and quickly ran away.

Zhou Yuji's department, although they didn't sleep all night, but they saw the fire in Dhaka City, the city gate was wide open, all the soldiers who fled outside, and the nobles, they couldn't help but be very excited, the emperor was really clever, and it was really time to come day and night!

Needless to say, the army marched into the city at once. In the end, Dhaka only burned a small part of the place, and Dhaka belonged to Daming.

The Mughal army, which lost its organization and was in disarray because of looting, ended up mostly being captured.

In fact, even Odom couldn't escape. It's just that Emperor Chongzhen specially explained to Zhou Yuji, not to let him besiege the city, let go of the enemy chieftain, and don't pursue.

After Emperor Chongzhen learned about the situation on Dhaka's side through the eavesdropping system, he issued an order to the various armies to divert to the west.

In this way, the Mughal soldiers were dumbfounded. How can you walk and walk, and Dhaka doesn't have to fight? Judging from the military order I heard, it seems that it has been defeated, which is so relaxing!

Indeed, they are very relaxed. However, Zhang Huangyan was forced to do so.

On the one hand, he wanted to rush to Dhaka to hand over, and then restore order in Dhaka as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhang Luo to continuously transport supplies from Dongwu, as well as follow-up troops and people, etc., he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, so he could only pray in his heart that the emperor would not move west too fast.

However, his idea was just an idea after all.

Originally, when Emperor Chongzhen was advancing eastward, he had already ploughed and killed the nobles and magnates of the Mughal Empire once; Then, when Aurangzebus went in, he also plowed and killed the untouchables who had taken the place of the nobility and magnates.

When Emperor Chongzhen went west again this time, those people along the way all knew the style of Emperor Ming. Seeing that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom led hundreds of thousands of troops over, needless to say, the nobles and magnates hurriedly ran away, while those untouchable people opened the door to welcome the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

It can almost be said that the internal strife within the Mughal Empire for the throne made Emperor Chongzhen expand his territory in an easier way than he imagined.

"It's bitter!" Zhang Huangyan, who was behind the army, couldn't help but sigh in private.
