Listening to her son's eloquent talk, slowly, Queen Zhou also made clear the direction she was going, and when she finally left, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and there was a hint of longing for the future.

As for the thing that was frightened by Zhu Cihong before, although she misunderstood it herself, she was still a little vigilant, fortunately she let the palace maid and the chamberlain withdraw from the palace in advance, otherwise, there might be trouble. No one knows about this now, and that's for the best.

She didn't know, although no one seemed to know here, but Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the Mughals, knew it clearly through the eavesdropping seeds on them.

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled faintly, and didn't take it to heart at all. The crown prince can clearly realize his own position, which is the best thing for Daming.

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Chongzhen put this matter behind him, commanded his army to move all the way, and continued to turn him upside down in the belly of the Mughal Empire.

………………

In Dhaka, Bangladesh, Aurangzeb, the third son of Shah Jahan's strongest son, lived in a palace in the city, which was built in 1644 when his second brother Shashuja had ruled here, and which is now cheaper for him.

At the beginning, Aurangzeb took the opportunity of the Ming army to support himself and ask Shah Jahan for more soldiers and horses. It's just a pity that Shah Jahan didn't give.

This situation, for Aurangzeb, can actually have the best, if not, he has nothing to lose. However, the Ming army pressed the border, and it seemed that it was about to invade Bengal at any time, so he wrested the military and political power of Bengal from the local governors, and even extended his hand to the neighboring provinces.

His henchmen were a little worried about this situation, fearing that this move would arouse the suspicion of Shah Jahan. In that case, it would obviously be bad for Aurangzeb.

Who knew that Aurangzeb had already planned to send troops to the border to demonstrate to the Ming army that was hoarding heavy troops, and even took the initiative to launch a scout war, which was full of provocation.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Daming Dongwu, ordered the army to attack, on the one hand, to drive away the enemy in front of him, and on the other hand, to show his arms to the Mughal army. Of course, he did not dare to go against Emperor Chongzhen's previous will, and it was not really that the whole army began to attack Bengal.

In this way, he just fell for Aurangzeb's scheme.

Aurangzeb not only did not restrain his hand stretched out to the neighboring provinces, but immediately took the military and political power of the neighboring provinces under the pretext that the Ming army was about to attack on a large scale, so that the army in his hands reached almost 100,000 people.

At this time, news finally came from Delhi, indicating that the emperor had entered from Kashmir, defeated Shashuja, and was besieging Delhi.

Hearing this news, many people were anxious and thought about going back to King Qin. You know, it was the capital of the Mughal Empire, and many of them, especially the Imperial Guards, were there.

Aurangzeb did not agree to this, but simply asked two questions.

First, how long is it to get from Dhaka to Delhi, how long is the march, and can it be in time?

When a group of generals heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Dhaka to Delhi is nearly 3,000 miles away, and the news has spread from Delhi to Dhaka, and it is estimated that there are already results on the Delhi side. Rushing from Dhaka, even if it was just a cavalry, it was impossible to arrive in time.

In fact, if the cavalry did not have horses available, a long march would not be as fast as the infantry!

Immediately afterwards, Aurangzeb asked a second question: if he led a large army back to Delhi, what would happen to the Ming army? Should the Ming army be allowed to capture the empty Bengal and then fight westward?

At the beginning, Shah Jahan gave the military order, but he taught the Dongwu Ming army a lesson, instead of allowing the Dongwu Ming army to capture the eastern territory of the Mughal Empire. If he goes back like this, how can Shah Jahan answer if he asks for sin?

His subordinates had nothing to say about this issue. Moreover, it is impossible for those local generals to ignore the Bangladeshi side, but to go so far to save Delhi for such useless work.

Therefore, under the shouting of the local generals, the matter of Delhi's request for help was also decided.

Although Aurangzeb achieved his goal, he also had some concerns.

He didn't know why the Ming Emperor suddenly killed from Kashmir? How many men did he bring, and was this to destroy the Mughals or to take revenge on the Mughals?

The answers to these questions were because he had so little information that he could not get the right answers.

But if you want to say how worried he is, that's also none.

First, Aurangzeb was confident and felt that his military talents were far superior to those of others, including his father, Khan, known as the "Great Khan of the World."

Second, Aurangzeb had fought with the Ming army, and even if the governor of the Ming Kingdom Dongwu personally led the army to come, he didn't care at all. The strength of the opponent, he probably has a number. He was sure that if he wanted to, he would have defeated these Ming troops in front of him a long time ago and gone to Dongwu.

"Humph!" When Aurangzeb thought of this, he was not without contempt in his heart, "If it weren't for the fact that this king wanted to borrow you to seize more likely military power, he would have taken care of you a long time ago!" ”

His ambition was very big, and he had already planned it, and he did not wait for the emperor's position to fall on him, but grabbed it himself, just like Shah Jahan did back then.

This kind of thing, which rarely happens in the land of China, is also common in this land, and Aurangzeb's doing so can be regarded as another manifestation of the son's inheritance of his father's business.

I have to say that Aurangzeb does have this vision and strength. He keenly felt that no matter whether Delhi was eventually captured by the Ming Emperor or not, the Mughal Empire would inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, he took advantage of this opportunity to further grasp the military power in his hands. The generals who can be wooed will be wooed, and those who can't be wooed will find a reason to be punished, demoted or even killed.

Under his means, slowly, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands slowly and really became his army. Even if he leads these 100,000 troops to fight against Shah Jahan in the future, he is sure that the army in his hands will definitely not rebel.

However, at this time, the news from the capital slowly spread to Bangladesh, and more and more.

Delhi was captured by the Ming Emperor, Shah Jahan fled when he heard the news, and the Ming Emperor led the army eastward......

Some of these messages, Aurangzeb didn't care at all. For example, Delhi was captured by the Ming Emperor, and he didn't care at all. It was not his capital, but his father's Khan's, and all the losses were his father's Khan's. It can even be said that if Delhi is captured, then the power of his father Khan will be greatly reduced, and if one day in the future, he really has to fight against his father Khan, then the pressure will be much less.

There is also news, such as that Shah Jahan fled when he heard the news, and did not go to a decisive battle with the Ming Emperor to retake Delhi. This news made Aurangzeb even happier. In this way, he believed that the prestige that Shah Jahan had built up in previous years would be dealt a heavy blow. Those who used to serve Shah Jahan and were willing to follow Shah Jahan and serve before and after the saddle might change their minds, and this would also help him seize the throne!

However, the Ming Emperor did not go south to find Shah Jahan for a decisive battle, but instead led the army eastward, which made him unhappy.

Aurangzeb was very clever and immediately realized that the reason why the Ming Emperor led the army eastward should be to enter Dongwu, or return from here, or join the Ming army here. In short, no matter what the Ming Emperor thinks in the end, he will have to pass through Bengal after all, so what should he do?

At the beginning, Aurangzeb had the idea of borrowing the head of the Ming Emperor to increase his prestige so that he could rightfully obtain the throne of the Mughal Empire.

However, as the Ming Emperor's army slowly came eastward, he knew more and more news, and he felt that his idea was a little difficult to realize.

Judging from the news I heard, among the army led by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, at least the 30,000 cavalry troops, probably 30,000, are the trump card in the hands of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and the use of cavalry tactics is superb. In the process of advancing eastward, they either quietly attacked or suddenly killed the horses, often defeating the Mughal army. There are some examples of battles that the conceited Aurangzeb did not expect.

Therefore, Aurangzeb felt that he could destroy the Ming Emperor, and it seemed a little unreliable to use his head as a stepping stone. Then, he quickly thought of another solution to this matter, and that was to negotiate peace with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

The Ming Emperor led the army from Kashmir, conquered Delhi, and then advanced eastward, and the Mughal country was absolutely turned upside down. If he can reach a collegiate agreement with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, appease the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and let them get out, then in this Mughal land, the most powerful one is definitely himself.

Subsequently, he led the army westward to pacify the place, and at the same time fought a decisive battle with his father Khan, it is estimated that most of the local governors will not help, and even see that he is powerful, and may even take refuge in himself. In this way, the throne will be his/her own!

The more Aurangzeb thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, but as the Ming Emperor's army was getting closer and closer, further news came over, which suddenly made his heart cold, because he found that the path he seemed to negotiate peace did not seem to work.

Aurangzeb couldn't understand why the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom looked down on those untouchables so much, and even copied almost all the rich nobles and distributed their property to those untouchables, is it crazy?

As far as the Ming Emperor's style of acting, isn't he also within the scope of his attack? Talk about peace, talk about a fart!
