860 tired into a dog
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!" On the rugged mountain road of Dongwu, there was a team of men and horses on the way, and the leader of the man, dressed as a vassal king, in his twenties, urged the others to hurry up from time to time.
This vassal king is Zhu Cijiong, the prince born to Tian Guifei.
Emperor Chongzhen's previous will to return to China was to let him change to a Mughal.
A few years ago, Zhu Cizhi was already prepared. Therefore, Zhu Cizhi took up the domain, and brought with him the officials at all levels who had been looking for in the past few years. Thinking that when he arrived in the vassal state, he would be able to take charge of the military and political power alone, so he couldn't help but be excited, and he couldn't wait to grow wings on his body and fly to the Mughals at once.
It's just that I pity Tian Guifei, and when I see that my son is going to travel far away, I am very reluctant. However, Zhu Cizhi didn't care so much. As soon as the decree arrived, he immediately took the train south, hurried and hurried, and finally arrived.
His subordinate officials were also excited. After all, these people don't mix well in China. However, when he came out with the prince, he was able to shepherd one side and had real power.
But I didn't expect Zhu Cizhi to rush in a hurry, so that they, the literati, were as tired as dogs. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't go back, or if they couldn't hope for a better life in the future, some people would really give up.
After arriving at Dongwu, along the way, I saw a steady stream of materials being transported to the Mughals, as well as a steady stream of manpower, including people and soldiers. It can be seen from this that the Mughal side is definitely going well, which makes Zhu Cizhi even more anxious, and he can't wait to reach the identity of his father and emperor at once, follow his father to fight those Mughals, and fight more of the world for himself.
At the same time, he is also a little proud. Because he is the prince of the day, therefore, he can directly become a Mughal, and he doesn't have to be like other vassal kings, in order to be able to serve the legendary Buddha kingdom of the domain, he is bargaining with each other in Beijing, grabbing two places, and grabbing shit.
Finally, Zhu Cizhi led his men to Bangladesh. Zhang Huangyan, who heard the news, rushed back from the west to greet him.
In this regard, Zhang Huangyan is very happy, and finally someone who can help him comes.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhu Cijiong, he hurriedly handed over the local jurisdiction and lost all Bengal to Zhu Cijiong.
Zhu Cizhi saw that it would be his own land in the future, and he was very excited, and while arranging for his subordinates to take over, he followed Zhang Huangyan to continue to the west and continue to take over the city.
At this time, he was young and enthusiastic, ambitious, although he saw these places in the Mughals, the traffic basically relied on two legs, and those ordinary people looked like they were about to become black slaves, and they looked very backward, and they couldn't compare with the Ming Dynasty at all, but he was not disappointed. I feel that my father is so powerful, and I will definitely not be bad.
According to the area demarcated by Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Huangyan gathered his subordinate officials while taking Zhu Cizhi to the west and continued to hand over the local city.
By the time the Alabahad region, which was still halfway from Delhi, the place where Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb had fought a decisive battle, Zhu had finally caught up with his father.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cizhi, who was hot as a dog, and said to him: "Your vassal kingdom ends here." But if you use your own heart, you can continue to fight south, and those places will be yours. ”
Emperor Chongzhen attacked the Mughals, mainly in the northern part of the Mughals, from west to east, and then from east to west. In fact, the land of the Mughals, at this time, was basically in the north. The Deccan Peninsula in the south is still in the hands of other indigenous peoples. According to the original historical development, it was not until Aurangzeb became the Mughal emperor that he would go south to conquer those territories.
When Zhu Cizhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he had already seen that the area he would rule in the future was the largest of the vassal kingdoms among the vassal kings of the past dynasties. If you can fight further south and expand your territory, you will naturally be even happier.
The father emperor is here, destroying the ancient and decaying to attack, which shows that the natives here are too weak in combat power. He was very confident that he would be able to take the territory of the South.
After Emperor Chongzhen explained to him some details of governing the place in the future, he let him be busy with the affairs of his own domain. And Emperor Chongzhen himself continued to march westward and beat the Mughal, a water dog.
At this time, Zhang Huangyan breathed a sigh of relief. The subordinates who can take over the place have all been taken back by him, and the emperor continues to fight the city, and he is not worried that there will be no one available.
Thinking of this, he was very grateful to Zhu Cizhi in his heart, it was so timely!
………………
On the Mughal side, Aurangzeb has been chasing Shah Jahan, not giving him a chance to rest and regroup.
In this regard, Shah Jahan hated his "outstanding" son. While scolding, he could only continue to flee westward, and in the end, he had no choice but to flee into the territory controlled by the Safavid dynasty, bowing his head and surrendering to Abbas II, on good terms, begging for protection.
Aurangzeb, who was chasing behind, already knew that all parts of the west were occupied by the Safavid dynasty after passing through Delhi. He was furious about this. Because, in his opinion, it was his territory.
However, before he could react, Odom had already caught up with him and told him that the Ming Emperor was leading hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Mughals.
In order to exonerate himself, the Ming army claimed to be 500,000 horses, and he was convinced.
When Aurangzeb heard this, he was of course surprised. 500,000 horses attacked, and he didn't have that many troops. However, fortunately, he did have a hand in leading his troops to fight, and knew that although the number of troops in the war between the two armies was an important factor, it was not a decisive factor.
For example, the elite of the troops, as well as the commander's command ability, are also the key factors in the victory or defeat of the decisive battle.
Aurangzeb hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to continue westward in pursuit of Shah Jahan. For him, the eastern lands can lose some, but Shah Jahan must die!
Of course, because of the influence of this news, Aurangzeb also changed some strategies when he went west. He tried to avoid conflict with the Safavid people, and sent an emissary to the Safavids, who was none other than Odom, who had just escaped.
At this time, Lahore was also already a Safavid dynasty. However, Abbas II was not in this border town, but in Kabul behind.
Odom knew that Aurangzeb was very anxious, so he could only risk his life and urge the Safavid people who brought him to Kabul day and night.
To tell the truth, he hasn't stopped running since he started running in Dhaka, Bangladesh, he is really tired like a dog!
In Kabul, Odom finally met Abbas II, and at the same time, he met Shah Jahan in the palace.
Seeing him coming on behalf of Aurangzeb, Shah Jahan was furious and wanted to kill him. The two of them had a falling out, and were finally suppressed by Abbas II.
"Your Majesty, the new Great Khan of our Mughal Empire greets you and is willing to reconcile with the Safavid Dynasty forever and share peace."
Hearing Odom's words, Shah Jahan, who was being stopped, suddenly jumped to his feet and scolded, what is the new Great Khan, he is not dead yet!
It was only at this time that Abbas II ordered Shah Jahan to be taken away and not to interfere with communication.
In fact, anyone knows that as long as Shah Jahan is here, there will be a lot of trouble if he meets with the envoy of Aurangzeb. And Abbas II, he just wants to make a big fuss about them. Let them both know about the presence and threat of the other. In this way, he can easily take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
Abbas II knew Odom's intentions very well, so he was not at all surprised when he heard Odom say on behalf of Aurangzeb that the lands that had been occupied by the Safavid dynasty were recognized by Aurangzeb as belonging to the Safavid dynasty and that the two countries were willing to conclude a peace agreement, but asked him to hand over Shah Jahan.
In response, Abbas II said to Odom: "You are right, Shah Jahan has already said this. In addition, he also said that he would borrow troops from me, kill the son who plotted against the king and kill his father, and promised to pay me an annual tribute of 100,000 sheep, 200,000 gold, silver, jewelry, and other property. You say, Shah Jahan is still the Great Khan of the Mughal Empire after all, and these promises he made are still on behalf of the Mughals after all, right? ”
When Odom heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Shah Jahan is incompetent and has long been unpopular with the people. On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has the support of all the people, and his ascension to the throne as emperor is in accordance with the will of the people. Besides, His Royal Highness the Third Prince now has an army of 300,000 in his hands, while Shah Jahan has nothing. Once His Majesty decides to help Shah Jahan, under the war between the two countries, the people's livelihood will be miserable, not the blessing of the two countries! ”
Speaking of this, he peeked at Abbas II's face, and then hurriedly added: "What Shah Jahan promised to give, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is also willing to give." Not only that, but I am also willing to respect Your Majesty as a brother, and I will repair forever and never cheat! ”
Hearing what he said about both hard and soft, generally speaking, you don't have to think about it, you must have chosen Aurangzeb. After all, Shah Jahan was chased by Aurangzeb like a lost dog, and this is a fact. Allowing the Safavid dynasty to fight with Aurangzeb was not what Abbas II expected.
For Abbas II, having annexed so many places in the western part of the Mughal Empire at once, he was already satisfied, and he wanted to digest it first. And another important point is that he is far away from home, and he is a little uneasy.
This is not worrying, not that I am worried that there will be people in the country like the Mughals who will rebel, but in the northwest of the Safavid Dynasty, there is also an empire that is eyeing the Persian Empire, the feud of the Persian Empire.
At this time, although the two countries had signed a treaty, he dared to guarantee that if the Ottoman Empire knew that his main force was absent for a long time, it would definitely violate the border.
However, for Abbas II, there is one more point that he cannot figure out. Therefore, I want to figure it out before making a decision.
