Aubu Ze was actually a royal branch of the Mughal Empire, and he wanted to take advantage of Shah Jahan's rampant conquest at home to seize power in one fell swoop.

He was not alone, as in addition to his 30,000 men in control of northwestern Afghanistan, several kingdoms in the southern part of the Mughal Empire also began to rebel.

It's a pity that the day is not off, and the unpaid Obu, who has unpaid ambitions, is already ill.

He knew his days were numbered.

His son died fighting for the empire in his early years, and now his daughter Amita is his only heir.

If Li Zicheng does not appear, then his subordinate Bahram will inherit his position as governor and his soldiers.

But the emergence of Li Zicheng changed all that.

Li Zicheng was able to fight well and was the son-in-law of Obuzze, which aroused the jealousy of Bahram.

Soon he gathered some of his henchmen.

Bahram said: "Li Zicheng, the so-called Emperor of Dashun, is just a failed fugitive, and Governor Aubuze is really old and confused, and he was actually bewitched by him, and actually wanted Li Zicheng to inherit the Governor of Afghanistan!" ”

As soon as Bahram finished speaking, his men began to talk about it.

They shouted: "Resolutely do not accept the leadership of a pagan, and must make the Governor retract his fate!" ”

In the end, they decided to strike first!

Soon Bahram led people to besiege the governor's palace, and he forced the terminally ill Aubuze to declare himself the successor of the governor of Afghanistan, and asked him to order the expulsion of Li Zicheng and others.

Bahram's every move has long been under the surveillance of Li Zicheng.

The reason why he didn't provoke it was naturally to wait for Bahram to strike first so that he could counter the rebellion.

It didn't take long for Bahram and the others to be happy when they got the news that Li Zicheng's men had taken control of the Kabul military camp.

Soon after, Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin led people into the Governor's Mansion with a big axe.

I saw that Liu Zongmin was like a killing god possessed, and a mountain-opening axe was even sharper, and everywhere he passed was the corpses of Bahram's men.

Only then did Bahram react that Li Zicheng deliberately waited for him to make a move, and he was completely calculated by him.

So he also wanted to use the Aubu in his hand as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Li Zicheng.

Unexpectedly, Obuze, who was already terminally ill, had already returned to the West in advance because of this change.

Eventually, Li Zicheng ordered Bahram and his henchmen to be killed, and soon he took complete control of the military and political power in Afghanistan.

Through this series of events, Li Zicheng also understood that his identity as a "heretic" was very embarrassing.

The upper elite of the Mughal Empire were all Muslim, while the lower Indians were Hindu.

And the Buddhism that Li Zicheng and others could accept had long since lost its market in India at this time.

Eventually, at the suggestion of Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng decided to formally embrace Islam in order to integrate into the ruling class of the Mughal Empire.

In addition, we have adopted an inclusive attitude towards Hinduism, which is the faith of Indians, and have achieved freedom of worship in Afghanistan.

In this way, Li Zicheng, an outsider, quickly won the support of the Indian people at the bottom.

After all, for India, it is constantly being conquered by outsiders.

From the Aryans more than 2,000 years ago to the current Mughal Empire, India has been invaded and ruled by foreign civilizations.

If history does not change, it will not be long before India becomes a shining jewel in the crown of the British Empire.

The unique teachings of Hinduism have long made these Indians accustomed to their lowly status, and at the same time, they have been willingly ruled by outsiders.

Li Zicheng naturally had to follow such customs and habits.

Although it is said that he is the best at rebelling and dividing the land, killing the gentry is completely useless in the Mughal Empire, but it does not prevent him from integrating into the central part of the ruling class here.

Amita's noble identity also gave Li Zicheng a lot of legitimacy!

The leaders of Afghanistan took a fancy to Li Ziche's military talent and the more than 1,000 men and horses under his command.

Li Zicheng's "fist" is hard enough, which makes him quickly gain a foothold here!

However, at this time, he still had to solve one problem, and that was his relationship with the Mughal Empire.

Although Li Zicheng successfully repelled the Imperial Central Army from Delhi, it would be difficult for him to develop if he was in a state of war for a long time.

Although Afghanistan was later called the "graveyard of empires", it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the land was very barren.

To use this place as a base to seize the whole of India is tantamount to a dream.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng decided to give in verbally and temporarily support the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.

So he sent Niu Jinxing as a messenger to Delhi with gifts.

The central army of the Mughal Empire could not defeat Afghanistan at all, and now Li Zicheng is willing to take the initiative to give in.

Shah Jahan had no choice but to get off the donkey.

At least on the surface, Afghanistan still supports the rule of the Mughal Empire, in order to maintain the integrity of the Mughal Empire.

He decided to officially canonize Lee Zi as the governor of Afghanistan.

In this way, Li Zicheng not only entered the upper class of the Mughal Empire, but also officially became a prince with soldiers and horses.

After all, the current Mughal Empire is not stable, and many native kings in the south do not like him as an emperor at all; The Portuguese, British, and Chinese powers occupied large areas of the coastline and were eyeing the empire.

In particular, the Chinese Empire had completely occupied Burma and opened the way to Calcutta.

In addition, the entire Western Regions has been occupied by the Chinese Empire.

The Mughal Empire felt tremendous pressure, which was also an important reason why Shah Jahan agreed to canonize Li Zicheng, in case the Chinese Empire moved south from the Green Mountains, Li Zicheng could become a barrier against China.

After conquering the Western Regions, the Mughal Empire was indeed the next target of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire did not hesitate to spend tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of laborers to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway in the lofty mountains and mountains of Yunnan-Burma, in order to be able to transport troops from the southwest to the Indian Ocean on a large scale.

The first phase of the Yunnan-Burma Highway runs from Kunming in Yunnan Province in the north to Bago Port in Myanmar in the south, with a total length of more than 2,400 miles, and was completed one year ago.

Today, the kilometre branch line from Yangon in Myanmar to Kolkata in India has also been completed.

Chinese supplies and troops could be continuously transported to Calcutta, India.

In fact, China was ready to attack the Mughal Empire from Calcutta in the east and the Green Ridge in the northwest.

But Li Zicheng's birth disrupted the original deployment of Li Xianzhong.

He abandoned his plans to move south from Afghanistan into the Mughal Empire.

Instead, the Chinese Army in Calcutta acted alone.

On the one hand, it is very difficult to supply the Western Regions, and the northwest does not have the conditions for large-scale use of troops, so it will not be good if it falls into the "graveyard of empires" in Afghanistan.

In addition, he knew that Li Zicheng would not be at ease guarding Afghanistan's one-third of an acre.

As long as a crisis breaks out within the Mughal Empire, he will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob it, which can accelerate the disintegration of the Mughal Empire.

Soon the Chinese army in Calcutta was on the move.

Li Dingguo has been preparing for this expedition to India for more than two years.

His men were mainly 30,000 allied troops from the various vassals of the Japanese kingdom, and he was also equipped with 20,000 Burmese garrisons.

These Japanese soldiers were extremely fierce, and they always rushed to attack the city, giving full play to their nature of burning, killing and plundering.

Soon Huaxia took over the entire Bengal region of eastern India.

Then they began their assault along the Ganges towards Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

Although the Chinese army was still very far away from Delhi, Emperor Shah Jahan still did not dare to take it lightly.

He soon ordered people from all over the country to come to King Delhiqin, and the messenger of the herald naturally came to Kabul in Li Zicheng's place.

Li Zicheng ostensibly agreed to send troops to support Delhi, but under the pretext that his area lacked food, he asked the Mughal Empire to provide 100,000 stone of grain before he could send troops.

In fact, it is not only Li Zicheng, but also the governors of the Mughals, and the king of the land will more or less put forward some conditions.

Some are political demands, others are economic interests.

Shah Jahan considered that Li Zicheng's men and horses were still relatively strong, so in order to let him send troops as soon as possible, he sent people to send him 100,000 stone of grain.

Li Zicheng, who got the food, did send troops.

However, he did not go to Delhi to "King Qin", but took the opportunity to go south and occupy a large area of land in the Indus Valley.

The Indus Valley is fertile and has large tracts of fertile land.

In addition, many of the troops remaining there have been transferred to the capital Delhi, and the garrison is very empty.

Li Zicheng's men and horses marched south along the Indian River, and they encountered little resistance at all, and directly hit Karachi, a port on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

In just one month, Li Zicheng's territory expanded from the mountains of Afghanistan to the coast of the Indian Ocean.

He brought almost the entire northwestern part of the Mughal Empire under his rule.

It also allowed others to see the weakness of the Mughal Empire.

Originally, the southern region was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Mughal Empire, but after Li Zicheng occupied the northwest region of the empire, the southern states also declared independence from the Mughal Empire at the instigation of the British and Portuguese colonists.

The Mughal Empire was on the verge of falling apart in an instant.

Fortunately, at this time, there was good news from the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese envoys expressed their willingness to shake hands with the Mughal Empire.

At that time, the Mughal Empire ceded the entire east coast of India near the Bay of Bengal to China.

India's coastal areas have long been occupied by European countries in various forms, and they are not under their control in the first place.

The Mughal Empire had only theoretical jurisdiction over these regions.

Shah Jahan saw that there was still such a good thing, and he compensated him with land that he did not actually control, and he hastened to sign the treaty.

Not only did he cede his own territory on the east coast of India to the Chinese Empire, but he also ceded to the Chinese Empire those in the south that he had never controlled.

Li Xianzhong naturally did not refuse to come, after all, what he wanted was just an excuse to enter the army.

Soon, the Chinese fleet relied on its strong ships and guns to occupy the strongholds of European countries on the east coast of India.

Although the Europeans were ferocious to the local natives of India, they were intimidated in front of the Chinese.

How the Chinese people dealt with the Spaniards in Manila still makes them feel uneasy!

Of course, Huaxia did not rob them of their property, as long as they paid taxes to the new owner of this land, Huaxia Empire, Huaxia would still protect their personal property!

This really made the Netherlands angry with the British.

Zheng Zhilong led the Chinese merchant fleet to open up the European trade routes, which had a huge impact on their interests.

Now China has not only forcibly occupied the island of Ceylon, but also wants to monopolize the entire east coast of India.

This has brought the originally contradictory European countries back together, and they are plotting to discuss how to unite to deal with the Chinese sailors together.

However, this group of robbers from Europe, their warships in the Indian Ocean are not as good as those of China, and the army is also pitiful, so they can only endure it for the time being.

After all, the number of merchant ships to Europe was limited, and the Dutch and the British East India Company still had huge profits from shipping the various goods purchased from China back to Europe.

And Shah Jahan, who had already made a truce with Huaxia, began to concentrate on dealing with Li Zicheng, the "sixth old" who attacked behind the scenes.

After all, the Mughal was once the overlord of the South Asian subcontinent, and he could be ceded by the great powers and humiliated by the Chinese.

But he can't let Li Zicheng cut the land from his own hands and become the king.

Soon Shah Jahan amassed an army of 100,000 in Delhi, including 60,000 Mughal troops, 10,000 mercenaries from Nepal, and 30,000 troops from other states.

Looking at the endless army in front of him, Shah Jahan quickly became confident, and he firmly believed that with such a powerful army, he would definitely be able to kill the damned Li Zicheng!

Although Li Zicheng thought that the Mughals would not give up, he never expected that Shah Jahan would directly cede a large area of coastal territory to China, and the two sides quickly called off and made peace.

In the face of the coming Mughal army, he also organized a coalition of 25,000 troops to prepare to meet his opponents.

A big war is on the horizon!
