On Dhaka's side, Shah Jahan is still preparing, but on the Goa side, the war has already begun.

Aurangzeb was full of ambition, and as early as before he set off, he secretly swore in his heart that he must fight this battle well, so that his father Khan would be impressed, and establish his position in his father Khan in one fell swoop.

For this reason, he led the army on an expedition, and when he was about to reach Goa, he decisively took his cavalry, abandoned the infantry army, and accelerated his speed into Goa.

Speaking of which, on the Goa side, it hasn't been long since Daming came down, and it is still in the digestion stage. If he did not know in advance, Aurangzeb's decisiveness would probably have caught the Ming army by surprise.

However, the Ming army has chat groups that can be contacted instantly. As soon as the Jinyi Wei agents lurking along the way saw Aurangzeb leading the cavalry to set off alone, and before they had gone far, the Ming army in Goa got the news and sped up to target it.

Therefore, Aurangzeb led an army of 2,000 cavalry, holding his breath, and indeed attacked like a dragon, without the slightest stagnation, and kept attacking.

But what made him a little depressed was that the Ming army was hiding in the city, he was just a cavalry, and he couldn't attack the city at all. In this regard, while ordering the infantry behind him to hurry up, he quickly continued to penetrate in depth, trying to catch the other Ming troops by surprise.

However, no matter how fast he was, he didn't encounter the Ming army in the field anyway, and the Ming army in Goa was all shrunk in a limited number of cities.

In this regard, although Aurangzeb was a little regretful, he didn't care much, looking at the Ming banner fluttering in the wind in the city in front of him, looking at the red military uniform on the head of the city, he pointed at the head of the city with a horsewhip, and shouted confidently: "The turtle hides in the shell, and it can't escape the fate of being eaten by the eagle!" ”

After speaking, he grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and at the same time ordered: "Go, join the infantry army to gnaw the turtle shell!" ”

Like his father Khan, he did not expect that when they began to prepare for the siege, the Ming army had actually moved first, but it was not on the battlefield they had predetermined.

A day earlier, on the sea surface of Mumbai, there were countless Ming navies. Without any resistance, Dunklu's army landed here.

Mumbai, originally occupied by the Portuguese. After escaping from the Lion Country, Svera knew that with the strength of Portugal in the Far East, he could not compete with the Ming army, so when he fled to the base in Mumbai, he looted everything here and evacuated with the Portuguese here.

After the Portuguese left, the Mughal Empire heard about it and sent a local army to pick up the bargain. In fact, there is actually nothing cheap to pick up, and when the Portuguese left, they didn't think about coming back at all, so naturally they didn't leave anything behind. Therefore, the people of the Mughal Empire, who did not have many in Mumbai, were stunned when they saw the landing of the red sea, and they dared to resist.

The Ming army led by Deng Kelu only rested a little in Bombay before immediately attacking north. This place was not originally an area valued by the Mughal Empire, so the defense was very weak, and those Mughal Empire officials heard that the Ming army was attacking, and they hurriedly fled back, and hurriedly sent messengers to report the news.

As more and more Mughal troops retreated, they eventually felt that they were outnumbered enough and wanted to stay and stop the Ming army. After all, if they keep fleeing, Shah Jahan will be furious when they turn around, and their lives may not be guaranteed.

Not only that, but they were a bit self-aware and felt that the Ming army was more elite than their army, so they also gathered the surrounding troops, for example, the army on the side of Candela Por.

However, what they didn't expect was that before the army was assembled to deal with the Ming army on Deng Kelu's side, the Ming marines landed in Candela Harbor, and under the attack from the north and south, the Mughal local army, which originally belonged to the rabble, was dispersed at once.

The Ming army clicked all the captured officials, anyway, as long as they had a position in the Mughal Empire, and as for the ordinary people, they told them that the Ming army came to execute the Mughal nobles who had done a lot of evil, liberate them, and give them a good life. Then, regardless of these people, the army immediately went north.

The Mughals didn't believe the Ming army's words at all, and their first thought was to escape. After not seeing the Ming army in charge of them, they stopped their escape, gathered together in twos and threes, and curiously discussed what it meant for these Orientals to come to them?

"You say, will the Ming army really give us a good life?"

"Who knows? You can't be fooling us, right? Who will treat us as human beings since ancient times? ”

"Whatever, anyway, they didn't kill us or enslave us, so it doesn't matter!"

“……”

Among them, there was a merchant who had a different opinion: "Don't say it, you should know that the Bengal side has long been occupied by the Ming army." When I went to do business in the nearby state, I heard some news! ”

When he said this, all of a sudden, the people around him were very interested, and they all gathered around to inquire about Mingguo's affairs. When the merchant saw this, he did not hide it, but told him what he knew.

"Listen to the government, these Ming people from the east, you can see it, they look different from us, just like those Xiyi. Think about it, how Xiyi treated us. Therefore, those Orientals are also like this, and they don't treat us as human beings at all. On the other side of Bangladesh, they are living in dire straits! ”

Hearing this, the people around them all took a breath, shook their heads and sighed, and even a few people even cursed, saying that they almost believed them.

However, before they could finish complaining, the merchant raised his voice and interrupted their discussion: "However, the news I heard about the Ming army in private from my local business partners is completely different from what the government said! ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those who were sighing also raised their heads one after another, their faces full of curiosity.

"My business partners say that there is no such thing as a lowly race in Bangladesh. Only those who are punished for committing crimes are lowly. Others, no matter who they are, as long as they are under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, are treated equally, abide by the laws and disciplines of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be protected by the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hearing this, someone immediately confirmed in surprise: "Does that mean that everything Ming Jun said is true?" ”

When the others heard this, they all looked at the merchant with bated breath, their eyes full of anticipation, and they wanted a confirmed result.

When the merchant saw this, he hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "If you want me to see, nine times out of ten it is true." But I said that I have never seen it myself, so I am not 100% sure! ”

As he said so, the men immediately looked joyful, and one of them said what was on their mind: "If only it were true, it would be great!" ”

As these people dispersed, news about the Ming army began to spread slowly in the hinterland of the Mughal Empire.

Delhi, where the capital of the Mughal Empire is located, the left-behind officials were frightened when they heard that a Ming army had landed from the sea and then kept killing Delhi. The main army of the empire was taken away by Shah Jahan. Under the transmission of the news several times, and under the bonus of panic, the number of the Ming army was magnified, especially when it was heard that the Ming army killed the nobles. The nobles who had fled along the way fled into Delhi.

On the one hand, the officials in Delhi gave a death order for the local troops on the Ming army's offensive route to actively resist the Ming army, and on the other hand, they also transferred the local troops in the north in the hope of strengthening the defenses of the south, and at the same time sent messengers, 100,000 in a hurry, to Bengal to report to Shah Jahan again.

However, they never expected that after Deng Kelu found that the Indian army in front of him had increased, he told Gushi Khan, who was waiting in the north, through the chat group.

So, the next time is the performance time of Gushi Khan.

His army had been secretly resting in Nepal. When he heard the news, he immediately waved his army south and went straight to Delhi. Compared with the strict discipline of the Ming army, the army of Gushi Khan was worse. The resulting panic has a better effect. Especially in the eyes of the Mughals, it was the Ming and Tibetan countries that united to fight them, and they felt even more desperate.

Without an elite army in his hands, and feeling irresistible, the only way was to send one messenger after another, eight hundred miles to rush to Shah Jahan and others with elite troops in hand.

The old nest is about to be ended, the hinterland of the Mughal is already in chaos, and if you don't come back, what's the use of winning the war!

In Goa, Aurangzeb led 2,000 cavalry troops to deploy around the city, and scouts were sent far away to cut off the possibility of reinforcements from the Ming army in several other cities. Seeing the infantry and the people busy preparing for the siege, the mood couldn't help but be very happy.

The Ming army in this city, don't look at the flags planted everywhere in the city, but he has actually found that there are not many Ming troops inside, and there are many flags, just a bluff: "Hehe, have you seen it, the general city defense, at least three groups of soldiers must be rotated on duty." But do you see, although there are many Ming troops in the city, Prince Ben has already remembered the faces of some of them. In fact, the Ming army only has two groups of people on duty in rotation, which shows that the Ming army looks like a lot of people, but I didn't expect it to be seen through by Prince Ben! ”

When his subordinates heard this, although they were not impressed, they still believed in the cleverness of their own manager, and immediately patted their ass.

In this regard, Aurangzeb enjoyed it and was in a good mood, so he taught his subordinates experience: "Generally speaking, the first city on the border is deployed with heavy troops, which is human nature. The commander of the Ming army probably used this common sense to engage in small tricks. Thinking that our army should also know this, it will not attack the heavily guarded city, but will attack the city in the hinterland of Goa. In this way, it happened to encounter a city that was really heavily guarded by the Ming army, so that the Ming army might hold the city! ”

Speaking of this, he sneered and said: "If the war lasts a little longer, and our sharpness has been lost, the Ming army in this city will be able to copy the rear road of our army, and in this way, our army will be in danger!" The tricks of the Ming army are nothing more than that! ”

Hearing this, all his subordinates suddenly realized that the sycophants who don't want money are like the water of the Yellow River, the waves are endless, and those who are proud of Aurangzeb feel that the khanate of the Mughal Empire belongs to him, and the other princes are just scum.

"Your Highness is really powerful, even if the Ming army is as cunning as a fox, it is useless!"

"My Mughal Empire has His Royal Highness here, and I will definitely be able to become stronger for a while!"

"Yes, if the Great Khan knew His Highness's true talent, he would definitely be very pleased!"

“……”

After talking for a while, some of his men reported that the siege equipment had been prepared.

When Aurangzebu heard this, he looked at the banner of the Ming army on the head of the city, and sneered: "As this prince expected, there are so many Ming troops inside, and so many people are sent to rotate on duty but waste energy, this city should be a battle!" ”

After speaking, he galloped to the front of the formation, and after inspecting the next infantry army, he was about to give the order to attack, when he found that something was wrong, and saw a horse in the distance, carrying a hundred thousand urgent banners, galloping.

This surprised Aurangzeb, and the first thing that came to his mind was, could it be that his father Khan's side had lost the battle?

After being surprised, he came back to his senses, if his father Khan was defeated, would he rush back to Delhi immediately?

In just a short period of time, Aurangzeb's mind circled around the glittering golden sweat position.

The messenger came to him in an instant, rolled the saddle and fell off his horse, regardless of the sweat, panting and saying: "Your Highness, it's not good, the Ming army has landed from the sea, and now it is heading towards Delhi, invincible, please Your Highness immediately come back to help!" ”

After speaking, he held the urgent letter in both hands.

When Aurangzeb heard this, like his subordinates, his face immediately showed surprise, and even a few people opened their mouths wide in surprise!

Ming Army...... How could the Ming army suddenly appear in the hinterland? Aren't they afraid of the Imperial Army, or do they know that the Imperial Army has left, but in terms of time, it's impossible!

Unable to think of a reason, Aurangzeb put it aside for the time being, and immediately snatched the letter and tore it open to read it.

At a glance and ten lines, the content of the letter is more detailed than the messenger's verbal statement, at least the strength of the Ming army, the approximate offensive route or something, as well as the battles that have taken place, and the combat strength of the Ming army, are probably described.

It can be said that the Ming army was indeed invincible. The cities along the way, if you can fight down, you can fight, and if you think it is difficult to fight, you will let it go, anyway, in the field, there is no opponent, and the soldiers are advancing straight to Delhi. This situation is just like the fact that in the original history, during the Chongzhen period, the Manchu army entered the customs several times.

However, there is one difference in the fact that the actions of the Ming army in the Mughal hinterland are completely different from those of the Manchu army. The Ming army did not loot all the materials, plunder the population, and destroy everything that could be destroyed, but selectively targeted, all the nobles of the Mughal Empire, killed when they caught it, but the civilians, those lowly people were fine, and even some untouchables who could not survive could also get a little property from the capture of the Ming army.

It's worth it! After reading this, Aurangzeb did not look at the city in front of him again, and immediately ordered the cavalry to be assembled, and he was to rush back to Delhi to help.
