Chapter 397: The Last Eight Banners
"Why, why is that? God, won't you give our bannermen a way to live? ”
The sprayed Yinyu looked up to the sky and screamed sadly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
All the Qing soldiers around him looked up to the sky and wailed in the same posture, but unfortunately they were only answered by the waves, only the wind howling in the sky, and the sky could not hear their voices, or the sky was not interested in dealing with them, they were a group of sinners abandoned by the sky, between this heaven and earth, there was no place for them, and there was no longer their name between this heaven and earth.
Their ending has already been written.
Two days later, the former Prince of the Qing Dynasty and Shuolian, the eighth master of Yushu in countless braided plays, turned into a soaked and swollen floating corpse, constantly washed by the waves on the golden beach.
He died of thirst.
Died of thirst next to the world's largest lake.
Because this lake is called the Caspian Sea.
He and his dry bones were not discovered by a group of oil workers who were prospecting for minerals until more than a hundred years later, but at that time it was impossible to distinguish their identities, and those oil workers who had seen too many of these things in the desert did not hesitate to drive crawler tractors over and completely crush them into a part of the desert.
In this way, the final outcome of the Qing army that fled west was like being annihilated in the sea of sand, completely annihilated in the long river of history.
At the same time that Yinxi died of thirst, the Ming Empire officially sent a note to the Mughal Empire, in view of the fact that the latter could no longer fulfill its duty to capture the remnants of the slaves, so His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire would send a heavenly army to carry out a cross-border attack to completely eliminate the remnants of the slaves. He also demanded that the Mughal Empire open all land and inland river passages from Xuance Province to Nepal to the Ming army, restrain the local government and the people, and refrain from any form of obstruction of the Ming army's movements.
Anyway, that's what it is.
If you don't arrest us, then we will go and arrest it ourselves, but we must pass through your land when we catch it ourselves, this is a must, you must open the road for us to pass, and you must serve us well during the passage process, if you dare to behave rudely, then don't blame us for beating you together.
Well, that's quite arrogant indeed.
Bahadur Shah almost got his nose crooked when he received this note.
It's simply unbearable.
In other words, he thought that he had enough compromises for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army took over all the European colonialist strongholds in India, and he didn't say anything, you must know that many of these strongholds are theoretically illegal buildings, even if they are not illegal buildings, they are only the ones he allowed Europeans to live in and set up merchant houses, not what he really ceded to Europeans. For example, Calcutta, it was just a trading outpost, and the British spent money to buy a piece of land, and then he approved the latter to live there, not the territory ceded to the British, but after the Ming army occupied Calcutta, it completely became his own territory, not only did not mention the question of ownership, but even now there is any Xuance Mansion, which completely ignores his feelings.
And he endured.
Because he knew that this had done no substantial damage to himself, the governor of Bangladesh, the Nawab, had long since ignored him.
The invasion of the Ming army, it was the latter and not him who needed to have a headache.
In the same way, the Ming army occupied Bombay, Surat, Madras and all other European strongholds and then turned them into Daming Prefecture, and he endured it, because these places only belonged to his empire in name, and even Mumbai did not even belong to him in name, which had been occupied by the Portuguese since nearly two hundred years ago, and the Sultan of Gujarat sold it to the former. Surat, Madras, and Puducherry were indeed part of the Mughal Empire, but in fact they were under the control of local warlords and even the Marats who rebelled against him, especially the latter being his current henchmen. Therefore, the invasion of the Ming army will not harm his interests at all, and even those Ming slave traders who buy slaves in various ways around him are still very good for him, because the capture of young adults on the territory of these warlords or rebels will weaken the power to resist him.
The aggressor is not his enemy, but the rebels are the real enemy.
Bahadursha, who conquered this land with the Mongols, was actually similar to Concubine Yi Guifei, who measured the material resources of China and the favor of the country, and he knew very well that those local Sikhs, Hindus, and Marats were his real enemies, and the invaders wanted nothing more than money and a few ports, but these people wanted his country! So he can tolerate the aggressor, but not the rebel, he can compromise with the aggressor, but not with the rebel.
But this time he couldn't take it anymore.
Because if the Ming army wants to attack Nepal, it can only go north along the Ganges from Bengal, Bangladesh doesn't matter, he doesn't care whether the Nawab in Bangladesh lives or dies, but if he continues to go north from Bengal, then he has to take care of it, because continuing to go north is his core ruling area. The truth that bandits are like shaving soldiers and being like a glitter, he is this kind of people who rely on the people, it is very, very clear, if the place where the Ming army passes through is not three feet high, he will not believe it, he doesn't want to be swept away by this group of locusts, and then only leave him a white land is really clean.
So he couldn't put the Ming army in anyway.
What's more, the Ming army said that he was catching Yinren, but that Yinren is not a fool, can't he run if he has legs and feet? Who dares to guarantee that Yinren will not continue to run if he is in a hurry? If he continues to run, then the Ming army will definitely continue to chase, where else can he run if he continues to run? It must be running west, but if he runs west, will he let the Ming army's inland river fleet drive directly into the Yamuna River and run to Delhi? Everyone understands the game of false extermination, if the Ming army goes deep into the hinterland of India and even Delhi along the Ganges Yamuna River, it will not be easy for them to withdraw again, in case these notorious guys push themselves easily, who will cry? Now who in the whole East doesn't know that this Tyrannosaurus rex of the East is frantically devouring every piece of land worth devouring? If Yang Feng doesn't have any thoughts about India, then Bahadursha also killed and didn't believe it. In the current turbulent situation of the Mughal Empire, if the Ming army is put in the hinterland of India, and the latter cannot control it for a while and destroy him, then Bahadursha believes that none of the governors of the provinces will come to King Qin, and they will happily wear various names to play separatism.
And in this way, the name of the empire has no deterrent effect, even if the Ming army does not play a false way to destroy the emperor, those local governors will no longer take the emperor seriously, and their own land can be allowed to come and go freely by foreign armies, then this is still a fart emperor.
So there is no other option for Bahadursha.
He could only refuse.
And then......
"It's just inexplicable, they don't catch it themselves and don't let me catch it, what's the difference between this and openly shielding that slave? This Bahadursha is clearly in collusion with the slave, fighting, must be beaten, and the order was sent to Wang Song, ordering the Second Army to go directly north, if the Indians dare to block it, they will fight over, and transfer the first, third, and fifth fleets of the inland river to Xuance Mansion to belong to the command of the Indian Economic and Strategic Embassy. ”
Emperor Yang was furious and directly issued an order to solve the problem by force.
"Your Majesty, is it possible to attack Delhi if you need to?"
Chief of the General Staff Du You asked.
Obviously, breaking through an imperial capital has a great temptation for these generals, after all, up to now, the Ming army has not broken this record, although this army has broken through many capitals, but those are either puppet regimes, or small broken countries, or even countries, can only be said to be a Fan state chieftain, and the Mughal Empire is a neighboring country officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty. In order to facilitate large-scale trade, the Ming Dynasty also recognized some countries, such as the Mughal Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Oman, and European countries, and the surrounding Burma and Siam, which were different from the Ministry of Subject Affairs, and it was the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with these countries. So although up to now, the Ming army can also be said to have destroyed countless countries, but in fact, if you calculate carefully, you really haven't annexed a neighboring country, and the annexation of those original vassals can only be said to be taken back by the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with the word annexation.
"It depends on the situation, if that Bahadursha understands the rules, forget it, if he really doesn't understand the rules at all, then he needs to teach him some principles of life."
Emperor Yang said with a deep groan.
"Obey the order!"
Du You hurriedly said.
Then His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff hurriedly retired and went to tell the Indian Economic Strategy Envoy Du You the good news.
In fact, in the eyes of the generals of the Ming army, there is no difficulty in fighting India at all, and if you conquer the Deccan Plateau, you may need to face a little trouble, after all, the terrain is complex, the transportation is inconvenient, and the infrastructure can be said to be incorruptible, which has great restrictions for the Ming army, which relies heavily on logistics to fight the war. But if it is to fight North India, it is the simplest, drive the river fleet into the Ganges, along the water network of the Ganges Yamuna River Brahmaputra River, where you want to hit is just a sentence. For the Ming Empire at this time, as long as the enemy near the sea or near the big river is not a problem, the battleship is blasted over and the cannons are bombarded, there is no city that cannot be hit, and when the Sichuan River fleet is transferred, it is estimated that the battleship can be driven directly to the foot of the Himalayas.
And Emperor Yang transferred the river fleet for this.
Now the Ming army has a total of five fleets.
The First Fleet, which is dominated by the Yangtze River, is mainly the Chuanjiang gunboats, because there is no real combat mission, and the strength of this fleet is not strong. The Second Fleet, which is dominated by Blackwater, is special in that it is all oil-fired boilers, because their war zone needs to go deep into many inland areas without supplies, and must have the longest possible voyage. The Third Fleet, which is mainly east of the Strait of Malacca on the Indochina Peninsula, has many shallow water heavy gunboats because it wants to scare people and its activity area is in the tropical rainforest area with abundant water. The Fourth Fleet, which is dominated by the Spice Islands, Indonesia and the Philippines, is more of an attack fleet in shallow waters than an inland fleet because its area of activity is islands. The Fifth Fleet, which is mainly west of the Strait of Malacca, is also mainly aimed at scaring people, and like the Third Fleet, most of them are shallow water heavy gunboats.
After the confluence of the Ganges River and the Brahmaputra River, those shallow water heavy gunboats can easily drive in, and although the water volume of the remaining upstream section of the river has decreased sharply, the Sichuan River gunboats can also easily drive in.
With the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, river warships immediately sailed out of their home ports and then sailed south along the coastline to distant India, while at the same time the troop transports transporting the Second Army of the Ming Army were also sailing to their battlefields. This army has been responsible for guarding Jiangsu and Zhejiang before, and it can be said that it belongs to the nature of the Guards, although it has been transferred to other battlefields in batches many times before, but it is the first time that the whole system has been dispatched to attack a certain target, but Yinren's identity is special, and he is also worthy of the qualifications to send the Guards to arrest him.
After all, he is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
Until now, he has not given up this title, even if he is already 7,000 miles away from Beijing.
And it's a straight-line distance of 7,000 miles.
In fact, at this time, he led the last of the 15,000 Eight Banners Army, and had just cooperated with the Gurkha to capture Kathmandu.
At this time, Nepal was theoretically still out of the Mara Dynasty, but in fact it was divided, in addition to Kathmandu, Badgaon, Patan three major kingdoms, there are actually more than 50 small countries, the Gurkha Shah Kingdom is one of them, I don't know how they and the original Lhasa and Sangyel Gyatso fought openly and secretly on the line, originally prepared to join forces to enter Lhasa, but unfortunately the matter was lost Sangjie Gyatso in advance and beat Yinren out of Tibet.
When I arrived at Yinren in Shannan, I immediately found that this place was like paradise.
In front of the 15,000 Qing army, which can be said to have experienced countless failures, all of them were in addition to a hundred battles, and all of them were equipped with firearms, and even a small number of rifled flintlock pistols, the small countries of Nepal, which only had cold weapons and old-fashioned arquebuses, were like lambs slaughtered at will. If you are not familiar with the environment, it is troublesome, but with the Gurkha as an ally, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, to help the Gurkha king unify the whole of Nepal, the latter gave them and the accompanying more than 20,000 family members to provide shelter in exchange, Yinren led the last Eight Banners Army across the mountains, constantly attacking one small Nepalese country after another, and now has basically completed the unification of the entire Nepal.
In the same way, he himself seized the reign of Pokhara and named it Xinjing.
But alas......
"I hollowed out my heart and exhausted my strength, but I lost to the providence ......"
In Yingtian's palace, Emperor Yang was humming a song leisurely.
Obviously, when Yinren saw a little hope at the dawn of hope, he felt very happy to directly extinguish that little flame at once. (To be continued.) )
