At the same time, northeast of Delhi, the newly arrived camp of the Heshute Division, although it looked very quiet, seemed to be asleep.

However, in fact, all the soldiers in the army have quietly gotten up and are waiting for the signal to attack the city.

Seriously, they came on a hurried march, and they were really tired, and they just slept in the first half of the night, and they couldn't sleep at all. However, the order from above came down, saying that the city would be attacked in the early morning, so that this side should be prepared, so as not to be unable to enter the city in time and eat a large piece of fat.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, always feeling that time flies very slowly. In this era when there are no watches and you have to estimate the time by observing the heavens, it feels even more difficult to wait. So much so that later, some of the soldiers who were very tired fell asleep with their blades in their arms.

However, Dalantai did not sleep, on the contrary, he was very energetic, and kept his eyes wide open, looking at Delhi in the distance. However, he couldn't see anything abnormal, which made his suspicion slowly thicken again.

Delhi was, after all, the capital of the Mughal Empire, far taller and stronger than the cities he had been able to capture before. In addition, there will certainly be no shortage of troops. He had conquered the cities before, all because those cities were weakly defended, and he piled them up with the lives of the Mughals. But now, the Ming army has never fought Delhi at all, has not consumed the equipment to defend the city, and has not consumed the energy and number of soldiers defending the city, can this succeed in stealing the city?

If you really want to steal the city and steal Delhi, then the siege battle won't be so difficult to fight, it's okay to steal the city, right?

Thinking about this, Dalantai turned his head from time to time to look at the eastern sky, and was worried that suddenly it would be dawn, and he would steal a bird!

Suddenly, Ji Muda, who was beside him, said to him excitedly: "Your Highness, look over there, there seems to be a fire. ”

Isn't it normal to have a fire at night? The city of Delhi is full of fire! Dalantai thought so in his heart, but he still looked up at the sound.

I saw that in the southeast of Delhi, a fire light was lit up outside the city, no, it was a fire dragon, and it was heading towards the city. There was no hindrance, but it was through the gates.

Later, Dalantai also saw that there was already a fire on the head of the city over there, which was extending along the city wall to both sides. At this time, some gunshots could already be heard, as well as faint shouts of killing.

"Did you really attack the city?" After Dalantai saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, "Really stole the city?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, you really attacked the city, Your Highness, you have attacked the city." Jimuda replied excitedly, a little loud and a little far.

So, many soldiers saw it, and immediately felt like they were hit by pie in the sky, and they all shouted excitedly: "The Ming army has attacked, the Ming army has attacked......"

The soldiers who were in a daze, napping, asleep, whatever they were doing, were all awakened and looked in the direction of Delhi.

At this time, the shouting of killing was already a little obvious, and on the southeast side of the city, the two fire dragons had already killed far away, and they could also see the fire in the city spreading. Obviously, the Ming army continued to pass through the city gates, and it was already blooming everywhere in the city.

"Emperor Ming, it is really the Buddha who came to the world!" Dalantai had to sigh with emotion, and then shouted, "The whole army is leaving!" ”

Just as their side began to echo the siege, in other directions of Delhi, the Ming army outside the city also began to respond. It was only a moment's work, and Delhi, which was originally silent in the night, suddenly became very lively.

It didn't take long for the western sky to finally reveal the whiteness of the fish's belly, and after the darkest hour, dawn came.

At this time, inside and outside Delhi, there were Mughal shouts everywhere: "Those who descend will not die!" ”

The gates of Delhi have been opened three times, all of which are opened from the inside, and the Ming troops outside the city continue to attack the city. In the city, there are many places that have been on fire, among which the palace is the most obvious.

Needless to say, Delhi was captured by the Ming army, which was already inevitable. The nobles in the city did not want to be judged by the untouchables, so many of them committed suicide by arson.

Outside the city, looking at the rising sun that had just jumped out of the mountain in the east, Emperor Chongzhen stretched his waist and said to Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch who was waiting for him to protect him: "I will go to sleep first, I am still sleepy at this time!" ”

Now that the city has been attacked, it will take at least half a day for the Ming army to occupy Delhi, control the situation, and extinguish the fire.

When Fang Zhenghua heard this, he immediately ordered the Jinyi guards guarding the surroundings to be quieter and not to hinder the emperor from catching up on sleep.

……………………

At this time, the Persian Empire to the west of the Mughal Empire, at this time was the Safavid dynasty, and in their capital city of Qazvin, the emperor of this generation was Abbas II, the last promising emperor of the Safavid dynasty, who had just been in charge for a few years.

At this time, although he had not been bright for a long time, he was already meeting with his courtiers.

"What?" Astonished Abbas II stood up from his throne and confirmed, "You said that the army invaded the Mughals, and now the Mughals are in chaos, and their governors have sent people to contact us?" ”

The Mughal Empire was strong at this time, and Abbas II, as a neighbor, felt it the most. Although he recaptured Kandahar from Shah Jahan a few years earlier, he was later recaptured by Shah Jahan again, which is evident.

Of course, what he didn't expect was that the Ming Kingdom was far away from here, so how could it invade the Mughals, and it was from the northwest of the Mughals.

The courtier kneeling at the bottom was his loyal auxiliary minister, his prime minister, the Burj Khalifa, although he was old, if he had followed the original historical development, he would have died of illness in two years. However, at this time, he was in high spirits and said to Abbas II: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom thinks, just a little man and horses have come all the way to attack the Mughals, not only that, but also only rob the rich and noble, and distribute their property to the untouchables, not to mention, and let those untouchables judge the rich and noble, this is really a great opportunity for my Safi Dynasty!" ”

Speaking of this in one breath, he was afraid that he would be suffocated, so he took a breath hard, his face turned red, and he immediately said to Abbas II: "Not only the governor of Kandahar, who is close to us, but even the governor of Lahore, has sent people to ask us for help, and they are willing to join Your Majesty, and only ask Your Majesty to send troops. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The Safavid Dynasty has two main enemies, one is the Ottoman Empire, this is a feud, I don't know how many years it has been fighting, in general, the Ottoman Empire is stronger, but at this time, the two sides have signed a treaty and have not fought again.

On the other hand, the rise of the Mughal Empire in recent years, especially the rule of Shah Jahan, the Mughal Empire began to expand westward, seizing many places of the Safavid Dynasty, including the important Kandahar.

Now the Mughal Empire is in trouble, and it has become a mess. Although I don't know why this happened and what that Shah Jahan was doing, it was undeniable that this was definitely a pie in the sky for the Safavid Dynasty, and it was possible to obtain the vast western territory of the Mughal Empire without spending a single soldier, so it is no wonder that the old auxiliary minister, the prime minister who is about to enter the ground, is so excited.

Abbas II was ambitious, an emperor bent on reviving Persia, and how could he be more composed than his prime minister when he heard such good news, and he almost jumped for joy.

So he immediately summoned the messengers of the Mughal governors, made personal inquiries, and then immediately summoned his important ministers, and under the auspices of Prime Minister Burj Khalifa, urgently convened the most important meeting of the empire.

Needless to say, under the temptation of such a good opportunity and such a great contribution to expanding the territory, no one can resist it. Although some people are worried that this will not conflict with the Ming Kingdom, what if Shah Jahan repels the Ming invasion?

Abbas II did not care at all about these questions. Between countries, there has never been any righteousness, as long as there are interests, pull out the knife and face each other, and don't be too normal to take advantage of your illness to kill you or something.

Now that there is a rare good opportunity, the governors of the northwestern Mughal Empire are willing to join him, how can he not eat this mouthful of fat sent to the door.

As for the future, whether it is against Shang Mingguo, or against Shang Sha Jahan, what is there to be afraid of, just fight, if you can't fight, it's not too late to retreat. If you can fight, so much land, isn't it the Safi Dynasty!

It was based on this idea that the Safavid side urgently mobilized and dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses, claimed to be 500,000, led by Abbas II himself, to rush to accept the new territory.

The Prime Minister Burj Khalifa sat in the capital, preparing food and grass for the army, as well as follow-up troops, which were continuously sent to the east.

At the time of parting, Abbas II said to the Burj Khalifa with great emotion: "This Ming emperor doesn't know what to think, so he went to curry favor with those untouchables? In this way, it is really cheap. ”

The Burj Khalifa also laughed when he heard it, pointed to the sky with his hand, and said What kind of gods and Buddhas bless, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom came to give gifts to the empire!

If Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty is here, he can know the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and he will definitely know the practice of the Ming Emperor, which cannot be underestimated.

However, whether it is Abbas II or the old Burj Khalifa, like most nobles, he has not reassured the untouchables at all, and it is even more impossible to realize how powerful Emperor Chongzhen's trick is!

In the future, when other emperors and nobles realized that Emperor Chongzhen's trick was powerful, they would not be able to learn from Emperor Chongzhen, because Emperor Chongzhen used their interests to share with the poor. In this way, in the end, the other emperors and nobles have only one goal, to defeat Emperor Chongzhen, and they must not let him be arrogant anymore and continue his strategy. This also lays the foundation for the ultimate battle in the future.
