Lebao didn't really have much contact with the Britons.

However, when Bai Ning and his entourage passed through the British Indian Colony's Governor's Palace, they were warmly received by the British.

They were given a tour of the British lobster soldiers, and they were told a little bit about the international situation.

It turns out that this Britain is so awesome.

In Europa is the number one power.

Although the navy was defeated in the Indian Ocean, it was just that they did not expect that the Ming would have ironclad ships.

In terms of manufacturing capacity, the current Britain is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

"The ironclad is now floating in the harbor of Pusselmouth Harbour!"

The Britons proudly announced to Bai Ning and the others.

Even ironclad ships can be made.

Then this is the kingdom of Britain, which has such a large territory.

It is the only hope for the whole world to fight against Tyrant!

Therefore, Bai Ning and his party had already thought about it when they came to Lebao here.

To fight the tyranny, you have to cling to the thighs of the Britons.

The Qing Dynasty is no longer the Celestial Empire, but the emperor has been captured, most of them have surrendered, and the remnants can only flee to India in embarrassment.

In this case.

If there is still hope for revival in the Qing Dynasty.

You can only hug your thighs.

Hug the thickest thighs!

"But. . . We're in India, why are we still enemies of the Ming Dynasty? Zhang Yulong, the number one strategist beside Le Bao, couldn't help frowning and said.

"It is precisely because of arriving in India that I have the capital to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!" Shen Song said, he looked at Le Bao, and said in a deep voice: "Duxian, if you are not an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, what is the difference between you and the 300,000 soldiers and civilians under your command and the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the Western Capital?" ”

Shen Song is no longer the stunned young man who desperately led the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai on the battlefield in Liaodong.

He is now over 30 years old, and he has also traveled all the way from Liaodong to India, and has opened his eyes to see the flagmen of the world with considerable insight.

Le Baoleng paused.

Then he reacted immediately.

The cornerstone of the existence of Le Bao, the governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, and the 300,000 bannermen under his command is to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

If he is not an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be good for the people under his command to go directly to the Western Capital Division of the Ming Dynasty?

If you are not an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

How could those old people who had the Qing Dynasty in their hearts come to take refuge?

How not to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

How could the British, a country of tigers and wolves, take the initiative to send weapons to Lebao?

If Le Bao still wants to retain the power in his hands, it is best to continue to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

But

It's really scary to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhu Mingzhiqiang is already the number one power in the world, how can I still have a chance in the Qing Dynasty."

Shen Song's face showed excitement and said, "Zhu Ming is just a strong outsider!" I have been receiving news from Zhu Ming all these years, in the past few years, most of the policies he has done are immoral and star-losed, recuperating internally, not encouraging agriculture and mulberry, anti-industry and commerce, tyrannical expropriation, extremely heavy tax burden, and the small people are not satisfied, and they have to check the land, and they want to tax the scholars, and it is rare for ordinary small people to be stable, or go out of the customs to the northeast, or go south to the South Seas, and travel thousands of miles, just to avoid Zhu Zhi's harsh government! What is called the people are not living, and what is called the country will not be a country! ”

"There are so many problems inside, but what about the outside? Enemies of Tsarist Russia, Britain, and Spain, and now it is said that if they reach out to the Americas, they will be the mortal enemies of Citigroup in the future, and among the heroes of Europa, they can only be friendly with France, and then France must be friends of the tyranny? Not necessarily! The so-called Westerners have no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and the expansion of the tyranny will inevitably violate the interests of France. At that time, it is possible that the whole of Europa will cooperate because they want to deal with Tyrant together! ”

Shen Song's words silenced Le Bao, and Zhang Yulong frowned.

Under Le Bao, there were also several factions.

Among them, of course, there are those who are determined to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

But there are also those who persuade Lebao to establish himself as king, and then ask for the canonization of the Great Tomorrow Son.

Anyway, Nurhachi, the ancestor of the Aixin Jueluo family, was also the leader of Jianzhou Wei back then.

He was also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Give the Ming Dynasty a minister, no shame.

And Lebao has run to India.

The Ming Dynasty divided so many vassal states in India, and it was not a big deal to seal Lebao again, and even respected the king with the princes in the south - it was the Great Tomorrow, and it was Britain and the Mughals who were honored.

Isn't it beautiful?

Lebao frowned.

Finally, he said with a long sigh of relief.

"In any case, let's fight a battle first, Sun Shiyi, this thief, is the most hateful, this time Bendu and the Mongol brothers of the Mughal Empire have formed an alliance, and they must be a good frustration of their spirit!"

In fact, before Bai Ning and his party arrived in Qikaicheng, before the Britons sought contact with Lebao.

Lebao came into contact with the Mughals, who were now left in the upper reaches of the Ganges.

In exchange for ceding Ludhiana and Amritsar, the two gateway cities of Lahore, the Mughal Empire requested Lebao to send 10,000 troops to help the Mughal Empire defend Agra.

The coalition of Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty had largely occupied most of the southeastern part of the Indian subcontinent.

Now India is divided into four parts of the world.

To the east, one to the south and one to the north, were the two invaders of Britain and the Ming Dynasty.

To the west to the south was the native power of Marata, and to the north was the Mughal Empire, founded by the Mongols, an older generation of invaders.

The allied forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty first fought a war with the princely state of Mysore in southwestern India.

Although the successful capture of Bangalore forced the Tipu Sultan of Mysore to flee and enter the highland mountains, the battle was clearly a great loss for the Ming Indian princes.

First of all, there are large casualties!

The Tipu Sultan of the Mysore Kingdom was unexpectedly able to fight, and actually used a conspiracy to introduce a brigade of the alliance of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty into the encirclement, resulting in the first battle of the alliance of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 500 people were killed!

It's a casualty, not a casualty.

And it's all true. Ming Army.

Not a servant army recruited in India itself.

That's just too much to pay.

And before Tipu Sultan fled Bangalore, he set fire to a large city in southern India.

So much so that this battle came down.

Thousands of casualties.

And I didn't get any benefit.

made the British Gongsun Shiyi of the Ming Dynasty furious.

If you lose this battle, you have to make up for it.

After all, the Ming Indian coalition is not monolithic.

The princes are all seeking profits, and if they fight a few more wars like the one with the Mysore Kingdom, then the princes may not have much momentum for expansion.

So it was quickly decided to go to trouble the Mughal Empire and prepare to go from the Mughal Empire's side. Make up for the loss.

"The infidels have challenged us!"

"God forbid! This is the best time for us to beat them!! ”

"We will never be defeated!"

The city of Delhi is about 500 kilometers to the south, in the valley of Changbal, the city of Agra.

The regent of the Mughal Empire, the powerful minister Wazir Ghazi is praying to the gods.

Wazir Gazi knew that the country under his control was in a terrible situation.

The contemporary Mughal emperor was Shah Alam II.

However, he was Wazir Gazir's puppet - Shah Alam II was put on the throne after Wazir Ghazi killed his father.

This Mughal Cao Cao has been holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes for more than 30 years, and by constantly betraying the sovereignty of the Mughal Empire in exchange for the support of the British, this Mughal Mr. Cao Cao's position as a powerful minister is still very stable.

If nothing else.

He could even become a Mughal Cao Cao for life, although there was no Cao Pi among his sons - after all, the real Cao Cao could not be controlled by a foreign country.

But to be a minister of power for so long.

Mr. Cao Cao of the Mughal is still very methodical.

But what about now?

Let Cao Cao. Well, the news of Wazir Gazi's liver trembling keeps coming from the south.

The invaders from China continued to exterminate the native gangs in the southern part of the Indus Valley, and soon subdued the local tycoons and established direct rule.

They seem to be even more vicious than the Britons.

Just a month ago.

Tipu Sultan of Mysore killed more than 5,000 Chinese (self-claimed) at the cost of more than 8,000 casualties himself, although Mysore eventually lost Bangalore, only relying on the mountainous mountains west of Bangalore, barely holding back the Chinese.

But still, this gave great confidence to many Indian princely states trembling in the face of Chinese aggression.

The Chinese are also not invincible!

And so.

When the diplomats of the alliance of the Ming Indian princes accused the Mughal Empire of supplying weapons to Mysore, which caused the casualties of the alliance of the Ming Indian princes, he demanded that the Mughal Empire pay 1 million gold rupees.

Wazir Gazi immediately rejected this extremely unreasonable demand.

And actively prepared for war, intending to teach the invaders a profound lesson.

outcome

A month of time.

The allied forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty advanced all the way to the northwest along the Changbar River, and successively occupied the cities of Kapoor, Guariol, and Gusi.

All the way to the edge of the city of Agra, the gateway to Delhi.

Soldiers are coming to the city!

The city of Agra can't be lost!

Because the city is a key point of access to the main channel of the Ganges.

Analogy to China.

That is equivalent to the importance of Chongqing Diaoyu City to Da Yi.

Once the city of Agra was taken, the Chinese could attack Delhi north along the Ganges, and they could cut off the Mughal Empire from the British.

They could even go down the Ganges River to attack Calcutta.

So Wazir Gazi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

First, they asked for help from another group of Chinese in the northwest - I heard that they were the sworn enemies of the Ming Dynasty in what is now China.

Then he went to the Britons for help.

I thought the Britons would open their mouths.

As a result, the Britons seem to be in a more anxious way than Vazir Gazi.

They even immediately mobilized their armies and marched north along the Ganges.

But it will take at least twenty days for their army to arrive.

Other words

This is more than 20 days

Wazir Gazi relied on his 30,000 Mughal troops recruited from the northwest to support the Uzbeks of the Green Religion, and 10,000 troops supported by the Qing Governor of the Western Regions, Lebao, to resist the coalition of Ming Indian princes, who numbered only about 20,000 people, including a brigade of Zhen. The Ming army, as well as three brigades of indigenous servant corps.

Before the arrival of the great army of Britons.

They had to hold on to Arag as much as possible - otherwise, the combined forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty could hoard military resources in Arag, repair their army, enter the main channel of the Ganges, and expand along the Ganges to the northwest and southeast!

Until then.

Delhi may not be able to save it.

If Delhi loses it, where will the Mughal Empire go?

Going to the Himalayas for a northwest wind?

Oh.

It is impossible to drink the northwest wind in the Himalayas, because the northwest is the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and there is no wind that can cross the plateau and go south.

To drink.

Only the Indian Ocean monsoon that blows from the southwest can be drunk

"Regent, we have no way back! Once we lose Arag, we will not be able to hold back the offensive of the Chinese, by that time . Not to mention the army of the Ming Kingdom, even if it is the Britons and the Qing people, I am afraid that they will pounce on us like wolves and tear us apart!! ”

The one who was speaking was Vazir Gazi's number one general, the Uzbek Lilamuku.

Lila Muku wore an elaborate suit of iron armor, a sheepskin hat, a waist knife hanging from his waist, and a beard curled upwards on his upper lip.

Looks very energetic.

I don't know if he can become the Mughal Wang Jian and help the Mughals defend the Mughal Diaoyu City.

"Your Excellency Regent, Agula's garrison is lax, and there is no danger to defend, it is better to place the battlefield in the mountains south of the Changerba River, where there are mountains and there is only one valley leading to the city of Agula, where it is most advantageous to stop the Ming army!"

The one who is talking is a generalist.

And the words of the general translator were said by Delentai, the number one general at Lebao's hand.

He was the general who led the 10,000 Qing troops to support the Mughals.

As a matter of fact.

Even if the Mughals did not cede those three cities, Lebao would not have been able to sit back and watch the forces of the coalition of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty enter the Gangetic Plain.

Lips and teeth are cold!

Delentai didn't have a map, but he probably knew the terrain around him.

The southern side of this Agoura is said to be a mountainous area, but in fact it is a small hill with a slight undulation compared to the surrounding flat plateau, and between the hills is a valley, which is conducive to marching traffic.

Now the Qing-Mo coalition army can occupy this road, occupy the hilly terrain on both sides, ambush the cavalry condescendingly, and at the same time establish a defensive system on the front, and when the Ming army's offensive is frustrated, the cavalry can be dispatched to counterattack from both sides!

Wazir Gazi looked at Lila Muku.

Lila Muku thought for a while and said: "The Ming army doesn't have many cavalry, most of them have infantry at hand, and we still have the advantage of terrain, so it is not difficult to hold it for twenty days." ”

"Okay, let's wait here for twenty days, and then let the rest of the princes also send troops together, and my duke will fight a big battle in Agoura!!"

At this time.

The Ming Sun and Moon Flag and the Ming British Duke planted the flag

The city of Gwalior, fifty miles south of the Changbar River.

"The Britons are going to bring in troops from Bangalore, and Lebao has sent 10,000 troops here, so it seems that a decisive battle can be fought here! If it can win, it can lose the territory of the Mughal Empire, and then squeeze the Britons out of India to the south! ”

Yang Yuchun's hand slammed on the map.

"This battle! It's worth fighting! ”
