Chapter 322: Split

Yu Zhong didn't need to talk to others, others had already come to the door.

Suddenly "attacked" his territory by an army of more than 10,000 people, how could Emperor Aurangzeb of the Mughal Empire allow it? Although he did not know what it meant to "not touch the ass of a tiger", he knew that if this army of unknown origin was allowed to wreak havoc in his own land, his already precarious rule would not be long before it fell apart. So, he had to drive this army out of the country. Unfortunately, however, Aurangzeb had just lost a battle.

Of course, this defeat was not fought with Dundo, as mentioned earlier, because of some reasons of Aurangzeb itself, and after a dynasty ruled for too long, there will always be problems of one kind or another, so the Mughal Empire is going downhill. More than a decade ago, the Marats in southern India rebelled under the leadership of a man named Rahram, and Aurangzeb himself led an army to suppress it. Originally, Aurangzeb was strong and triumphant all the way. However, the tenacity of the Marats was unexpected. For more than a decade, one monarch was captured and another died of illness, but the Marathas still resisted. And, gradually, the weaker side began to counterattack. Aurangzeb was old, and he himself was seriously ill by the protracted Maratha War. When Dundo first appeared, he was about to lead his army to retreat and get rid of the quagmire of war in Marata. This is also the reason why he was able to send 10,000 men to "destroy" Tundo at once.

However, Aurangzeb never imagined that 10,000 people would be slaughtered by Dundo more than 8,000 at a time. This time, it made him, who was already seriously ill, more and more anxious, and his condition became more serious. But that's just the beginning. Just when he was thinking about leading his army directly to encircle and suppress Dundo, Yu Zhong came again. As the local boss of India, Aurangzeb naturally quickly learned the "intention" of the Yuzhong army, and also knew the size of this new army.

This time. He was even more anxious.

Although there are not many troops in Dundo, they are strong enough, but Yu Zhong can beat Dunduo and run around, doesn't this show that ...... This new army is even more difficult to deal with?

As a result, Aurangzeb became more urgent, and his condition immediately deteriorated, and he had not yet led his army back to the capital Delhi. It's all about dying. (Aurangzeb is supposed to have died in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, and here he died a year later.) )

This time, the Mughal dynasty was hopeless.

Because of Aulanze's suppression of the Marathas, and his stay in the Deccan region in the south for more than ten years, coupled with his old age and complete lack of control over Indian officials, the administrative work gradually became lax and corrupt, during which there were many mass "riots" and "riots", and more than ten years of war left the treasury empty...... All of this. Already in secret and seriously hurting the foundations of the "peace of the Mughal Empire". In northern and central India, many places have long since become lawless.

Coupled with the repeated defeats of Aurangzebudi's army in the south, the centrifugal forces of the entire empire were developing smoothly. Now. With the plundering "thief army" of Dundo and the intervention of a powerful external force in Yuzhong, the Mughal Empire finally inevitably entered the process of splitting.

Yu Zhong entered India from Nepal in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The state is fertile and is one of the major agricultural regions in India. The main crops are rice, wheat, maize, sugarcane and cotton. It is also the place where the two holy rivers of India flow, the Ganges and the Jumuna River, flow.

It is also one of the most densely populated areas in India as a whole. Perfectly suited as a base area. And Yu Zhong did exactly that.

He first took Gorakpur, which is adjacent to Nepal, and then, using it as a base to rest his army, and at the same time, sent people to Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. And "explained" the intention, stating that he would never "invade" India, but only to pursue and suppress the Mongol rebels, as long as the Dunduo troops were "wiped out", he would naturally return from the original route.

Indian officials were certainly not stupid enough to believe Yu Zhong's words, but after Aurangzeb's death, a fierce battle for the throne began between his three sons, Alam, Achim, and Bakshi. No one in the capital, Delhi, cares about the life or death of Uttar Pradesh. Even though Uttar Pradesh is the third largest state in India. These people can't help it. Because, even if they want to care, they can't spare their energy. Moreover, the resistance of the Marathas in the south is also in full swing because of the death of Aurangzeb, compared with the local resistance forces, although the more than 10,000 horses in Yuzhong seem to be stronger, but in the eyes of the high-ranking Mughal Dynasty, it is just a rootless tree, at most it is to fight the autumn wind and leave, and the lethality may not be able to keep up with the 3,000 Junggar soldiers in Dundo, so the high-ranking officials of Delhi asked Uttar Pradesh to "solve" Yuzhong by themselves.

At this moment, the aristocrats of Uttar Pradesh, such as the Brahmins, Kshatriyyas, and the like, immediately became dissatisfied with Delhi. However, after being dissatisfied and feeling threatened, these men had to immediately begin to organize their troops and horses under the leadership of the governor of Uttar Pradesh, and prepare to resist the attack that could be attacked at any time. Originally, because Dundo had carried out many raids in Uttar Pradesh in advance, his way of fighting like the wind was a headache for the Indians, and the merciless slaughter and poking made these people extremely frightened. Therefore, after organizing the army, the nobles who had been "educated" by him did not choose to attack, but chose to defend, because these people were afraid that Yu Zhong would be the same. In this way, Yu Zhongcheng had a lot of local conditions, and actually "lived in peace" with the nobles of Uttar Pradesh.

However, this state of affairs did not last long. Because they saw that Yu Zhong was only lingering in Gorakpur, and that Yu Zhong was only a little more than 10,000 infantry troops, and there were only a few cavalry, those people began to tremble again. After discussing for a while and cheering each other up, these people scraped together and borrowed some from neighboring countries to form an army of 50,000 people and "counterattacked" towards Yuzhong.

The results were not surprising.

Yu Zhong is in a defensive position! Moreover, it occupied a number of advantages, and easily broke up this so-called "army" that was improvised and put together. After the war, Yu Zhong called Uttar Pradesh "provocation for no reason", so he led the main force of the army to attack its capital Lucknow. At this time, Yu Zhong's soldiers and horses had risen again. The human heart is greedy. It doesn't matter where these people come from. …… After seeing that it was profitable to follow Yu Zhong, the princes of Nepal gritted their teeth and cobbled together a cavalry of 3,000 men and handed it over to Yu Zhong, and at the same time, the Panchen also sent disciples. He led a total of 4,000 soldiers and horses sent by Tusi from all over the country to cross the Nyalam Pass to "support" Yu Zhong. (In 1757, the British general Robert Clevau defeated 50,000 Indian soldiers and horses with only 3,000 men, beginning the prelude to British rule over India. )

With an army of nearly 20,000 men and a superior advantage in firearms, Lucknow was swept down by the middle, and most of the leaders of Uttar Pradesh were captured. India's third-largest state soon fell into the hands of Yu Zhong.

Afterwards. Yu Zhong supported a Brahmin nobleman from the former Uttar Pradesh as a puppet governor and began to establish rule in Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, Yu Zhong also ceded part of the territory of Uttar Pradesh to the Nepalese nobility, so that Nepal was firmly tied to this war of aggression.

At the time of the Sino-Uttar Pradesh war, Aurangzeb's son Achham finally persuaded all parties to release Sahu, the son of Sambuji, the captured monarch of Maratha in the south, and started a factional civil war with the new monarch of Maratha, Talabhai, to ease the threat from the south to the north. However, just as Delhi was trying to retake Uttar Pradesh, the Sikhs in the western part of Uttar Pradesh were led by a man named Banda. The struggle against the Mughal dynasty also began. India's richest agricultural state is in turmoil. And even more unfortunate.

Banda and the others were also helped by a person. That person is ...... Dundo! Although he was the same alone, Dundo knew it very well. With Nepal at his back and Tibet and the entire Qing Empire behind him, Yu Zhong was faced with a situation where he could attack and retreat. And he is different. Although he wanted to take a detour back to Dzungar, in that case, he would have to travel through Afghanistan. And this Afghanistan is in a period of war and chaos. If he wants to pass through there, it means that he must be ready to deal with possible attacks by various forces in that area. Moreover, the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan is not conducive to his use of the tactics he holds. Easily trapped. What's more, compared to India's wealth, Afghanistan is also too poor. In addition, I don't know what the current situation of Dzungar is, and I don't know if he will directly face the army of the Qing court after he returns, Dundo finally decided to stay in India to develop. However, since it is to develop, it is naturally impossible to rely on less than 3,000 people on hand. He does not have the support of one country like Yu Zhong, so he can only choose to "help" the Sikhs temporarily. At least. This would allow him to get rid of his identity as an outsider.

However, the Sikh rebellion and the invasion of Yuzhong were not the greatest misfortunes for the Mughals. The so-called "house leak is suitable for rainy days", just when the Mughal dynasty was in urgent need of a boost, they ushered in a new emperor: Bahadur Shah. This emperor had a nickname, "The Mindless". And under the leadership of the new emperor, Bahadur Shah, the rulers of Delhi temporarily "spared" the Marathas, who were in the midst of civil strife. However, they divided the army they could hold into two groups, one sent to quell the rebellious Sikhs; The other was sent to expel the invaders from Yuzhong.

The result was naturally unfortunate. Both armies were defeated!

The army that went to the Sikh land suffered heavy casualties, and although the one that fought in the middle did not die too many people, it was captured by more than 20,000.

After these two battles, all possible opportunities to prevent India from descending into "chaos" have disappeared.

The once-glorious Mughal Empire was torn apart in a matter of months, with governors becoming independent, and most of those who did not stand on their own no longer obeyed orders from Delhi. The Mughal royal family's domination was immediately reduced from a vast empire to the capital city of Delhi and its neighbouring areas, and although it was still a small area, larger than India's largest state, the country eventually broke up. And, right next to the land they could still rule, there were Sikhs and Yuzhong who threatened them at any time.

Fear and reluctance clouded the heads of the Mughal royal family.

And after intense discussions and arguments, a team of Bahadur Shah's cronies began to advance towards Uttar Pradesh. Although Yu Zhong was also an invader, the new Mughal emperor felt that Yu Zhong might be easier to talk to than the undying Sikhs and the Dzungar people, who were very vicious and cruel despite their common roots and ancestors. Moreover, between Yuzhong and the Sikhs, who is more difficult to mess with, who is more powerful, and who has a harder backstage, the people of Delhi can still see it.

"Awesome. Awesome, awesome! ”

There are so many things happening in India, but they happen in a tight way.

By the time Bahadur Shah sent people to find the place of negotiation between Yu and China, it was only more than four months later.

During this time, Yu Zhong's southern invasion caused a storm in Beijing, because Kangxi's noncommittal attitude had disappeared a lot. Except for a few people, most of them regarded Yu Zhong and his army of more than 10,000 as dead. Although he was still as opposed as before, he no longer talked about it. But. How can Yu Zhong let these people forget themselves for a long time? The tributary missions from Nepal, Tsemangxiong, Bhutan, Ladakh, Tibet, Qinghai, and the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to Beijing were enough to make his name a regular again.

"I heard that these envoys came to Beijing after crossing the high mountains and snowfields of Tibet, but they are really sincere!"

It was the ninth elder brother Yinyu who spoke, and the people who were with him were still those few people, and a group of people gathered in Yinyu's mansion to eat and drink, but they talked about things that didn't seem to have much to do with themselves.

"This battle went directly to Tianzhu, and I heard that there were already officials who wanted to give the emperor the honorific title.

I want to sing praises to the emperor! "Since Mingzhu's death, Yu Xu has always looked very old and shrewd, and this is still the case. While knocking melon seeds. While talking to everyone. It looks very laid-back.

"It's a pity, if we could get Huang Ama to agree to send us to Yu Zhong last time, we would have to have a share of the credit this time. Right now. But I can only look at it with my eyes blank and stare dryly! I sighed.

"Don't dream all the time. This kind of battle can only be fought in Yuzhong. Others may not have this ability. Even if Huang Ama allowed us last time, we don't want to get any credit. Yinxi said.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that Yu Zhong still dares not to give us some credit? "Yinzhen, I'm not convinced.

"It's hard to say! According to your "nature", it would be good not to be beaten back. Still want to fight for credit? Yin Yu teased.

"Well, no kidding! Ah Ling, is there any news from Huang Ama? Yinyu stopped the verbal dispute between Yinyu and Yinyu, and asked Alinga, who had been sitting with a tired face.

"What news can there be? The emperor can't take care of other places now! Alinga smiled bitterly. There's been a lot going on this year. And. It's not just Kangxi who is busy, but he, the servant of the Lifan Academy, is also busy enough. I thought that this year would be a little busy in the west, but not long after the central and southern advances, the eldest brother Yinchu, who had already arrived on the other side of the sea, sent back a message, saying that he had gone all the way south along the coast, and finally found a good place, and suddenly circled the land within a radius of thousands of miles, and he was anxious to ask the court to send some people over. Because the eldest brother gave up fighting for the throne. went overseas again, so his status in Kangxi's eyes has risen a lot compared to before, who dares to refuse his request? In addition to Yinchu, Wan Zheng's "color" old guy, who was old but not upright, went on a killing spree in Nanyang, and all kinds of news flew directly to the Lifan Yuan and the Six Ministries, asking the imperial court to send people to manage the local land almost never stopped; In addition, there is one most important one: Feiyanggu and Sabusu have already attacked Ili, and they have been attacking and defending with Alabutan for nearly two months, and as a result, they have received news from the Turkut tribe at this time. It is said that the Turks want to return to the east, which is nothing, but now the territory of the Qing Kingdom is large enough, where can such a group of exiles be placed? However, behind these more than 200,000 Turks, there were still 30,000 Russian troops in pursuit...... Compared with these, although Yu Zhong has no major problems, he has more troubles: First, Yu Zhong asked for support. That is, in terms of firearms.

Although it is said that the ammunition in that guy's hand is enough to fight a few big battles, but he is far away in a foreign country, and he must be prepared; Second, this guy also needs to send a minister to the imperial court. One is in Tibet, one is in Nepal, and the other is in Lucknow. Three, it's the tributary mission that just came.

If it weren't for Yu Zhong and sending a translator at the same time, I'm afraid the Lifan Yuan would have to close down. However, there were Tibetans and envoys from India in this mission, so there was no room for carelessness in the reception work. Who told the royal family of the Qing Dynasty to believe in Lamaism? The messengers representing the two living Buddhas of Lamaism naturally should not be neglected. Not to mention India, that's Tianzhu! Since ancient times, it has been a large country recognized by the people of the Central Plains.

In the hearts of the Chinese people, although this country may not be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with China, it can also be mentioned occasionally, especially after the "Journey to the West" came out, which made Tianzhu's status in Chinese's hearts greatly rise...... That's the Buddha's hometown. In particular, Yu Zhong also mentioned in the memora that Uttar Pradesh was the first place where the Buddha Shakyamuni preached after his enlightenment, which is even more amazing. (Uttar Pradesh is one of the holy places in India where Islam and Buddhism are concentrated)

"The emperor has already sent the thirteenth and fourteenth to Gubeikou to train the army, if we don't make some more color. But it really didn't come of anything! Yin Yu looked at Ah Ling's and said nothing, and said. Since the crown prince was deposed and the eldest brother went overseas, although the DPRK and China have been dominated by their group of "Eight Masters", but because Kangxi warned the civil and military officials through Gao Shiqi, it was almost clear that the hundred officials should not get close to them, so their power has shrunk a lot compared to before. Moreover, because Kangxi's attitude is there. They no longer dare to deliberately befriend the minister. In addition, Kangxi has never assigned them some tasks that can earn prestige. Now, their confidence in themselves has gradually weakened.

"Alas......" Yinyu sighed. He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Compared with his previous low background, he was bullied everywhere.

Now his situation is naturally good, and there is nothing to say. However, the current days have made him very tired. The crown prince was abolished, Yinchu was gone, although he became the prince with the greatest hope of winning the prince, but, in the same way, he also clearly felt the gaze from Kangxi. In the past, he was jealous that Yinren could get this kind of attention, and he was also angry and jealous that Kangxi still tolerated it everywhere after the prince repeatedly broke into trouble. But now he understood...... This gaze represents wordless suspicion and strong pressure, and this feeling can sometimes overwhelm people from breathing. Compared with Yinren, the environment he is in is even worse. At least, Yinren also has an official position as the crown prince, which was also raised by Kangxi since he was a child, and he cares very much. And he, because his mother was born as a cheap slave in Xinzhiku, he has almost never been cared for by Kangxi. If it weren't for that time when Baori Longmei, Mo Jing and Luo Xin went to see his mother, he probably wouldn't have been able to get into Kangxi's eyes at all.

"After all, the boss is still smart!"

Yinxi suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. Earlier, he had been happy that he had taken the opportunity to clear the treasury and "become independent" from Yinchu, but now, he understood. He is just a pawn in Yinchu's hands. It is very likely that Yinchu had long expected that he would not be able to take over the position of the prince, so he cultivated him and asked him to form the "Eight Masters Party", so that he could make a three-legged move with the princeling party and the big brother party. In this way, someone shared the attack from the crown prince, and at the same time distracted Kangxi's attention. In addition, Yinchu has been in obscurity since then, and did not participate in any fighting, and finally was able to withdraw from the competition for the crown prince safely and securely, without losing a single "hair". And what is more important is that Yinchu took the opportunity to regain Kangxi's favor. This is an outcome that no victory can match. And now, Yinchu was able to go to the continent across the sea to expand his territory with his prime body, backed by the entire Qing Dynasty. What does this mean? If it succeeds, then it is very likely that Yinchu will build his own country, even if this country is nominally a subordinate of the Qing Dynasty, and Yinchu will complete his dream of being an emperor in another place; And even if he doesn't succeed and retreats, his eldest brother is still indispensable for the position of a prince. In addition, he has been far away overseas, leaving this battlefield for the position of the crown prince, and he will not have any dirty relationship with any forces, and after he returns, no one will taboo his existence, and he can still be a peaceful king. This is the real big plan!

"Starling, what are you laughing at? Now that even the thirteenth and fourteenth "hairy" children have been sent out by Huang Ama, we can't hold it anymore! "Yinxi's 'sex' is the most impatient, and seeing that everyone has been discussing and not coming up with a way, I can't help but ask Yinxi, who has always been the backbone.

"Old ten, don't worry!" Yinxi didn't affect his mood because of the change in mood, and when he heard Yingan ask me, he just smiled faintly, "Actually, we have already taken a step, as long as we continue to walk, we can naturally get out of the current predicament." ”

"Already taken? Starling, don't sell it. We're all counting on you! Yinyu said.

"What do I have to sell? I just think. As long as we continue to ask Huang Ama to go to the army in Yuzhong, we can get out of the current predicament! Yin Yu smiled.

"Starling, are you confused? Didn't Huang Ama let us go? Moreover, your body and bones are not good, and you can't stand it all the way! I said loudly.

"Last time, we were for ourselves, and Huang Ama naturally couldn't agree. But. This time, we are for the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Ama will definitely consider it! Yinyu replied.

"What do you mean? Aren't they all the same thing? Why would Huang Ama consider it this time? Yin Zhen asked puzzled. However, compared to his sluggishness, the other people in the venue began to ponder after hearing Yinxi's words.

……

"Starling, you are not in good health, I'm afraid Huang Ama won't let you out of Beijing casually!"

They are all smart people, so it didn't take long to understand Yinxi's words.

In fact. Yinxi's words only pointed out two words: timing!

Last time. As soon as Yu Zhong "got into trouble", the three of them ran away, which naturally made Kangxi suspect that they had bad intentions. And. An accident at the border was an extremely important problem for the imperial court. Although the idea offered by the three of them cannot be said to be bad, but sending a local person who has the power to restrain the main general of the army may also cause a split in the army. Moreover, although Yu Zhong "disrupted" the plan of the imperial court, judging from the previous example of Japan, the possibility of this guy's actions being unfavorable to the country is extremely low, and if someone is sent to contain him. On the contrary, it will cause disgust. In addition, this guy's temper is not very good, except for a limited few, there is no one else who can restrain him. If there is a conflict between him and the Diqin mission sent by Kangxi, the consequences will inevitably be greatly detrimental to the stability of the army and the frontier. Combining these factors, Kangxi naturally can't make a decision easily. However, although Kangxi tried to stay calm at that time, he was also very annoyed by Zhong's unauthorized actions, and he had a pimple in his heart for the three of Yinxi, so he naturally would not agree to their request.

But. Now it's different. Yu Zhong has actually taken control of Nepal and has also enveloped Tibet, making it easier for Yue Zhongqi to control the situation in Tibet. At the same time, it also occupies a fertile base in India. The situation is no longer so urgent. Although the civil and military officials are still very dissatisfied with him, oppose him, and there are many people who want to impeach him, but after all, the credit is still the merit. Where to put it, the four words "Yuanke Tianzhu" are probably better than "pacifying Zhungeer"

It looks weighty and more dazzling. The Qing Dynasty took military merit as the most, and in the current situation, even if Kangxi was still very angry, it was unlikely that he would be punished too harshly.

Unless, Yu Zhong immediately fought another big defeat. And in the same way, Kangxi probably will not continue to allow Yu Zhong to be his native emperor in India, even if he can't find someone to replace him for a while, he will definitely have to send someone to restrain him. And this has become an opportunity for Yinxi and others.

"I know all of this!" Yinyu heard Yinyu's question and nodded slightly.

Of course, he knew that he was not in good health, and it would be very difficult for him to cross Tibet. However, he didn't want to give up. Now, the boss has gone to open up a "new home" by himself, and the abolished prince also has a Luzon to live in, he is obviously not happy with Kangxi, and the possibility of wanting to be the prince has become smaller and smaller. If you don't hurry up and plan again, in the future, Kangxi will choose another brother as the crown prince, how will he, the most powerful prince in the court, have any good end?

"Why don't we tell Huang Ama to let the starling take the sea route. Didn't Ferdinand say that? After Temasek, you can walk northwest for a while to India. I said suddenly.

"Tenth Master, Yu Zhong hasn't hit the beach yet. Besides, even if he has already hit the beach, this sea route is not easy to walk. What's more, all this has to be arranged by the emperor. ”

Alinga said.

"I'll tell you about Huang Amma! There's always a way. Yin Yu secretly clenched his fist and said to everyone. Whether it succeeds or not, now is a rare opportunity.

So, you have to give it a try.

"Master, hurry up and prepare, the holy decree has arrived......"

Just when Yinxi and the others had just made up their minds, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over.
