The grain and grass were robbed, and it was doomed that the next war would not be able to fight.

It was only at this time that Abbas II understood why the Ming army suddenly moved, contrary to the previous style, and suddenly stuck to it, not letting the army move again, this is to destroy his own army here!

The 150,000-strong army was the sum of the elite that Abbas II brought out of the country and the newly occupied Mughal region. If all of them are destroyed here, then all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the strength of the empire will also suffer a major blow, at least in the short term, it will be difficult to recover!

After startling his subordinates, Abbas II thought about this, but he was also decisive, and immediately sent someone to meet Emperor Chongzhen, asking for surrender, serving Emperor Chongzhen as the main and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty! However, the condition is to let him lead the army back, and he is willing to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, Emperor Chongzhen would only agree if he was stupid. It's easy to surrender, lay down your arms!

When Abbas II heard the reply, he immediately made a decision, and immediately led the cavalry to retreat as soon as possible, abandoning the infantry directly.

Seeing Abbas II leading the cavalry away, his infantry were stunned, they didn't expect their emperor to be so ruthless!

Needless to say, the emperor ran away and obviously abandoned them, so what else did it take, the infantry soldiers of the Persian Empire threw away their weapons and surrendered, and some even thought angrily that they must take revenge on their previous emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen also admired Abbas II a little, he didn't expect him to be so decisive, as soon as he saw that he was about to fall into a dead end, he did not hesitate to cut off his tail to survive, ruthless enough!

If this happens, it will really slow down the speed of the Ming army, and at least 100,000 infantry troops will be almost equal to the strength of the Ming army, and they must be properly settled.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen did not kill all the officers. Rather, they were given warmth and prepared to lead their troops to attack Lahore.

He was deploying the operation, and all of a sudden, he was speechless again.

When he came to his senses, Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered the 20,000 cavalry in his hand and ordered them to rush to Lahore immediately.

Because Abbas II, that madman, is killing in Lahore, burning everything that cannot be taken away.

That's right, Abbas II's plan was to use a scorched earth strategy to put the Ming army in a difficult situation.

Although the cavalry was sent out, the distance of 200 miles, the Persian Empire had about 50,000 cavalry, and it was not possible to rush 200 miles into battle, so it would be difficult to win the enemy. Therefore, by the time the Ming cavalry arrived, Abbas II had already led his cavalry westward, leaving behind devastation, raging fire and ruins.

This time, it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be embarrassed. There is no other reason, it is also the problem of food and grass for the army.

On his side, there were more than 100,000 troops at once, and the grain and grass in the Ming army were also relatively difficult, so it was even more difficult.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could only order to leave Wu Sangui's headquarters and give him more than 20,000 Mughal infantry troops to him, so that he could garrison Lahore and rebuild Lahore.

The rest of the army, led by Emperor Chongzhen, retreated to Delhi and shortened his own supply lines in order to feed so many people.

Abbas II's strategy to survive was successful!

However, in the long run, he will definitely lose more than he gains, and from now on, he will not want to come to Lahore to gain a foothold.

By the time Emperor Chongzhen returned to Delhi, Zhang Huangyan had already arrived, because of the continuous fighting, there were not many supplies from the local area, and if the grain from Dongwu was transported, it would be too far, and the grain and grass would be consumed on the road.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen had to sigh, it seems that he is the best at attacking others, and now he has also tasted the lack of food.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately made adjustments and began to reorganize the army, reorganizing half of the troops into garrison soldiers, and letting them open up wasteland and farm. The other half of the army began to attack the rest of the Mughal Empire, sweeping away the old magnates of the Mughal Empire, obtaining supplies of food and grass from them, and incidentally turning the entire Mughal into a part of the Ming Dynasty.

……………………

The Changbar River is a large river that runs from north to south and eventually joins the Narmada River and flows into the Indian Ocean.

On the side of one of the river sections, a group of Ming troops did not collect their horses at night and just dismounted, so that the war horses could drink water and rest.

But not long after, the soldiers of the sentry suddenly issued a warning signal, and the rest of the night did not listen to it, and immediately entered the combat state. After all, they had been exploring from the south to the north, and this was still the territory of the Mughals.

However, after they only watched the movement for a while, they suddenly cheered, waving loudly and greeting, revealing great enthusiasm.

It turned out that what they saw was a team wearing the same military uniform, and the most important thing was that the other party's face and skin color were exactly the same as them! It can be said that in this foreign country, it is really not too happy to suddenly meet a real comrade. In other words, from now on, they are no longer alone.

On this day, it was the 23rd day of December in the 26th year of Chongzhen, and the Ming army that went south from Delhi and the Ming army who went north from Bombay joined forces.

However, it took as much as half a year to really plant the entire Mughal Empire under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, until August of the 27th year of Chongzhen. This is still the front of the Ming army, and there is basically no resistance in the local area. Because the consciousness of the Mughal untouchables has been awakened, knowing that the Ming army is coming, they will have a good life, and it is the norm to "open the door to welcome the Ming army".

This time, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial expedition is the longest since the previous expedition. However, in the short term, he still could not go back.

The Mughal Empire was too big, and Emperor Chongzhen simply did not have enough manpower. Moreover, the Ming army, which has been on the expedition for a long time, must also return to China for rotation, and they can't always fight in a foreign country, after all, they are all human beings, even if they have been winning battles, they will be tired after being away from their hometown for a long time.

In addition, there is another point, that is, the most important situation of the reduction of troops in the Ming army is still the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. This Mughal Empire, especially the further south, the hotter it gets, is simply not a place for people.

After arranging these things, the vassal kings of the country also decided the winner, and it was the Tang and Fu kings who came to the Mughals to take up the vassals. Emperor Chongzhen gave them a good territory and threw local affairs to them, which was a relief.

By this time, the entire Mughal Empire had completely disappeared into the long river of history, and the area west of Delhi was the Tang Kingdom for the Tang Dynasty, and the Bengal to Alabahad region was the Song Kingdom of the Prince Zhu Cizhi, and in the middle was the Fu Kingdom of King Fu. Among them, Zhu Cizhi was the earliest to lead the army to fight in the south. With the help of the Ming army's great victory in the East, the southern part of the Indian Peninsula was basically eaten. In this way, Fuguo is ultimately the smallest piece of territory.

In addition, Mumbai and its surroundings, north to the Narmada River region, were directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, with a permanent navy, commanded by Zheng Chenggong and assisted by Kong Youde. Yan Yingyuan returned to Ceylon to continue to consolidate the Ming rule here, and at the same time, coordinated the delivery of supplies by sea from Dongwu.

In the Lahore region, for the time being, there is also a large army under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, which is led by Wu Sangui and assisted by Li Laiheng.

Dalantai of the Heshute Department had completed his mission by this point, and led his troops back to Tibet to recover Gushi Khan.

After completing these deployments, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and he could be regarded as having finished the Mughal Empire!

However, this attack on the Mughal Empire also brought thought to Emperor Chongzhen.

Even if the war is too far away from the mainland, it will inevitably be subject to transportation, whether it is the replenishment of troops, or the transportation of materials, or the impact of water and soil adaptation, language barriers, etc., even if you open your golden finger, marching and fighting is basically a big victory with very little loss. But even so, it was impossible to continue westward to attack the Persian Empire after basically defeating the Mughal Empire.

The Persian Empire will definitely fight, and the Arabian Peninsula will also be occupied, this is the stated goal. However, at the moment, there is more than enough heart and not enough strength, so we can only talk about it.

If the supplies are sent from the country, even if it is the transportation conditions of later generations, the cost is very high, not to mention the transportation foundation of today's era, this thing is simply unrealistic.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was necessary to grasp the grain planting of the three major feudal states, and in the future, the military rations should be provided by these three major feudal states.

In terms of troops, although it is better than the supply of food and grass. But there are also problems of one kind or another, which make it not very good to move troops from within the country on a large scale to attack the Middle East.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and couldn't help frowning, and made a decision in his heart, in this area, the elite division still has to rely on the country, but it is also necessary to carry out the reorganization of the army in the local area, and use the army here as the main force to attack the Middle East.

However, it takes time, especially because of the different languages, and the negative effects of poor communication, and it also takes time to digest.

In addition, if you want long-term peace and stability, you still need to migrate people on a large scale and move the people from the country here. In addition, Daming culture must also be popularized in order to make this place a real Daming cultural circle.

However, such a long-distance migration must be a very huge project. What should I do?

Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen stepped on the head of the city of Delhi, looked into the distance, and thought about these things. Only when everything is sorted out can he return to China.

King Tang was by his side, serving carefully, not daring to disturb the emperor's thoughts.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, looked at King Tang and said with a smile: "The feudal kingdom is newly built, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, so you don't need to accompany me, go and get busy!" ”

When King Tang heard this, he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly agreed, and then sighed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, there are things everywhere, and the ministers are so busy that they have two big heads. Ah, there are still many women and children under this rule, and there is not enough labor! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, there is!
