The "Green Ridge" that the Chinese people are accustomed to calling is what the Persians and Indians call the Pamir Plateau.

Of course, in later generations it also had a name, Kashmir.

That is, the barren land where India and Pakistan are fighting for their heads and blood.

The reason why this is the case is that the location of this area is too critical.

Standing here is like standing on top of India's head, looking down at the people below.

The Green Ridge is only 800 miles away from Delhi, the capital of the Mughals, and after passing the Green Ridge, it is almost a flat river, and there is no danger to defend.

At this time, the city of Delhi was already turbulent, and the Minister of State Babak could only take the nearest road with the Chinese cavalry, for fear that he would be too late.

Fortunately, although the Sikhs in Delhi had the support of the people at this time, they had a limited number of troops at their disposal.

When Li Shizu led his troops into Delhi, his father-in-law, Shah Jahan, was still the master of Delhi.

When approaching the city of Delhi, Li Shizu specially ordered the Chinese cavalry to change into heavy cotton armor.

When the heavily armored Chinese cavalry entered the city of Delhi, the soldiers and civilians of the Mughal Empire were all shocked by the flickering cold light on their bodies.

Such an army is not something that the Mughal Empire can stop.

The gray-haired Emperor Shah Jahan personally led a hundred civil and military officials to the city of Delhi to meet his son-in-law.

Shah Jahan, who is in his early 50s, inherited the throne of the Mughal Empire at an early age, and during the more than three decades of his rule, the Mughal Empire had its glory.

However, under the invasion of Western colonizers and China, the empire gradually lost its vitality.

Coupled with Shah Jahan's failure to deal with religious issues within the empire, the Mughal Empire, which was not particularly stable, gradually fell apart.

Shah Jahan was originally reluctant to send his daughter and relatives, but when he saw the strong cavalry of the Chinese Empire and Li Shizu's handsome and upright appearance, he was relieved.

After passing through the city of Delhi, the Chinese cavalry camped in a military camp outside the city.

Because the royal city of the Mughal Empire was not located in the city of Delhi.

Soon Li Shizu and his entourage were welcomed to the Mughal royal palace, Agra Fort.

Located on a small hill on the banks of the Yamuna River, the Agra Fort is also known as the Red Fort of Agra, whose inner and outer walls are made of red sandstone.

Agra Fort is an extravagant palace built by Arbuck the Great for ten years, and his grandson Shah Jehan succeeded to the throne and added a number of palaces to make Agra Fort a magnificent castle.

There are about 500 buildings in the whole fort, which is a combination of Hindu and Islamic architectural art, which is solemn and gorgeous.

Inside the castle, there are majestic Pilgrimage Palace, tranquil fish viewing courtyard, exquisite pearl mosque, etc., and the pavilions and pavilions are dizzying. The most ornate of these is the Privy Palace, with its glittering white marble walls, glittering gilded roofs, and dazzling jewel-encrusted columns.

Although its scale is not as grand as that of the Forbidden City, it is more luxurious.

Shah Jahan likes it here because the Agra Fort echoes the Taj Mahal under construction.

He could stand on the walls of Agra Fort and look out at the Taj Mahal, 15 miles to the southwest.

Although he was carrying 20,000 elite Chinese soldiers, Li Shizu knew very well that he was still in danger when he came here this time.

But fortunately, Princess Mahal didn't have much scheming, and the two had already fallen in love.

Long before Li Shizu came to Delhi, he knew everything about the Mughal situation from his wife Mahal.

Shah Jahan's favorite Taj left him with four surviving sons.

Shah Jahan favored his eldest son, Dara Shik, but his third son, Aurangzeb, was the most capable of all princes, and he and Dahla Shik were particularly hostile to each other.

Originally, Shah Jahan's influence in the country was booming, and his sons, although they had some ideas, did not dare to blatantly compete for power.

However, Shah Jahan's expedition failed miserably, burying the 100,000-strong army of the Mughal Empire.

The contradiction between the two princes was exposed.

Unlike the Mughals, there is no clear primogeniture system.

The emperor can appoint an heir according to his preference, which also makes the change of throne full of variables.

With the arrival of the Chinese army, the Sikh forces in Delhi were quickly suppressed.

Originally, Shah Jahan wanted to use Huaxia's soldiers and horses to deal with Li Zicheng.

Unexpectedly, the two uncompetitive sons actually fought for the choice of the coach of this Western Expedition.

Li Shizu said that he was just a guest army to help, and he was willing to accept the leadership of the two princes.

This undoubtedly added another fire to them.

With the help of the Huaxia army, defeating Li Zicheng this time and recovering the lost territory is almost a certainty.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to brush up on military merits, and neither of them is willing to give up.

In the end, Shah Jahan, who was eccentric, gave the opportunity to his eldest son, Dara Shik.

This made the third son, Aurangzeb, even more angry.

He knew that if this development continued, his father would definitely pass on the throne to his eldest brother.

With the incompatible relationship between the two of them, when the eldest brother succeeds to the throne, it will be the day he ascends to heaven.

So Aurangzeb decided to take the risk.

Of course, he knew very well that without the support of the Huaxia people, he would not be able to sit on this throne.

So he found Li Shizu and said that as long as Huaxia helped him ascend to the throne, he would dedicate half of the Mughal Empire to Huaxia and was willing to share the country with Li Shizu.

Looking at Aurangzeb, whose eyes were full of anticipation, Li Shizu did not reply to him directly.

Instead, he told him the story of one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who launched the "Xuanwumen Change"!

After listening to Li Shimin's story, Aurangzeb's eyes immediately lit up.

My life is up to me, not to heaven, and even more so not by my father.

With a clear goal, Aurangzeb quickly took action.

Originally, most of the henchmen in Wangcheng were the eldest brother's henchmen, but in order to participate in this Western Expedition, he transferred many henchmen in the Wangcheng Forbidden Army to the Western Expeditionary Army.

This gave Aurangzeb a chance.

Soon the day of the expedition of the army came!

On this day, Dara Shik received news that his father, Shah Jahan, was going to see him off at a banquet at the Agra Fort.

This was a perfectly normal operation, so Dara Shik happily headed to Agra Fort with his retinue.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the palace gate, the gate of the castle was closed.

At this time, Aurangzeb appeared in front of him with a large number of men.

Dara Shike then remembered that his henchmen had all been transferred out of the palace by himself.

He pointed at the other party and scolded angrily: "Aurangzeb, you dare to kill your brother and kill your father? ”

Aurangzeb laughed loudly, he could finally raise his eyebrows today after being suppressed for a long time.

At his command, countless arrows flew towards Dara Shik and his escorts, and soon they were shot into hedgehogs!

Aurangzeb personally cut off the head of his eldest brother and marched towards the inner city of Agra Castle.

When he saw his eldest son's head, Shah Jahan was completely furious.

He trembled with rage, and pointed at Aurangzebzeron and cursed.

But at this time, Aurangzeb was not angry, on the contrary, he felt very relieved when he saw his father thunderous and helpless.

The depression in my heart over the years has been swept away.

Originally, he also wanted to force his elderly father to pass on the throne to him.

Unexpectedly, Shah Jahan actually suffered a stroke under the emotion, and the imperial doctor was helpless!

However, this also saved trouble, and Aurangzeb directly announced his succession as emperor, becoming the sixth emperor of the Mughal Empire.

With his power, it was difficult to control the overall situation of the empire, but now that Dara Shik died unexpectedly, and the old emperor Shah Jahan suffered another stroke, there is indeed no more suitable person in the country to inherit the throne than Aurangzeb.

The bigwigs of the Mughal Empire discussed it, so they sent Aurangzeb to the throne.

Arrogant, who thought he was on the right track, was preoccupied with preparing for his enthronement, but he relaxed his guard over the palace.

And the old emperor Shah Jahan, who had been "having a stroke" before, quietly sneaked out of the palace at this time.

After all, after being the emperor for more than 30 years, Shah Jahan still has many henchmen inside and outside the palace, and he is waiting for such an opportunity.

Soon he was in the camp of the Praetorian Guard in Delhi, although Aurangzeb replaced the generals who had been loyal to Shah Jahan.

But only a few high-ranking generals could be replaced, and a large number of middle and high-level generals loyal to the old emperor and the eldest prince still served in the army.

With Shah Jahan himself in the barracks, the generals quickly killed Aurangzeb's henchmen, indicating that the Forbidden Army would remain loyal to the old Emperor Shah Jahan.

And Shah Jahan, who had mastered the forbidden army, led his men to kill the ancient fort of Agra.

The changes around Delhi naturally did not escape Li Shizu's ears and eyes, and he chose to continue watching the play.

Originally, his wife Mahal was left in Green Ridge by Li Xianzhong, Li Shizu went deep into Delhi, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable, so he naturally wanted to keep Mahal in his hands, and he was also a hostage.

However, at this moment, Shah Jahan and his son fell in love with each other, and this was a golden opportunity, and when Aurangzeb found him, he sent him back to the Green Ridge on the Chinese border and quietly brought Mahal back to Delhi.

Under Li Shizu's hint, Aurangzeb simply did not stop and killed his second brother and fourth brother.

In this way, he became the sole legitimate heir to the Mughal dynasty.

Just as Aurangzeb was crowned crown, he found that his old father, Shah Jahan, appeared in front of him.

At this moment, he realized that this old thing was pretending to be sick.

I didn't kill him because of a thought!

It's clear that the old guy has regained his military power.

Aurangzeb, who knew that the general trend was gone, looked at Li Shizu on the side, but the other party looked like he had nothing to do with himself and hung high.

In the end, Aurangzeb was cornered, and died in the chaos.

Shah Jahan, who quelled the rebellion, was not half happy, because all four sons born to his beloved "Taj" had died in the coup.

By this time, the Mughal Empire had lost its heirs.

In desperation, his little princess Mahal appeared in front of him.

Li Shizu took the opportunity to say: "Princess Mahal can inherit the Mughal Empire and become the empress of the empire!" ”

The Mughal Empire was also patriarchal, and there was never a precedent for an empress.

Soon a large number of ministers jumped out to oppose it.

With just a glance, these opposing ministers died under the fire of the Huaxia Army!

Li Shizu said loudly: "These people are all anti-thieves Aurangzeb, as the son-in-law of the Mughal Empire, he naturally has the obligation to clean up the rebellion for his father-in-law!" ”

At this time, in addition to the 20,000 Chinese troops outside the city of Delhi, there were also 30,000 Japanese warriors from Calcutta.

It was clear that Li Shizu was not negotiating with them.

After Mahal and Lee Sejo promised to continue repairing the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan agreed to pass the throne to his daughter.

On January 1, the 6th year of Qianxi, Princess Mahal officially became the first empress in the history of the Mughal Empire.

The old emperor Shah Jahan got his wish and served as an overseer at the Taj Mahal, and his greatest wish was to be able to rest here with his beloved concubine.

Of course, the actual power of the Mughal Empire was in the hands of Li Shizu.

As the husband of the empress and the second prince of China, he naturally became the governor of South Asia of the Chinese Empire.

Regarding whether to tear the earth and seal the king, in fact, Li Xianzhong actually hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he decided to return to Beijing and hand over the entire South Asian subcontinent and the future western expedition to the second child.

Now it seems that his son is a little less, after all, marrying a wife can take the entire Mughal empire as a dowry, and this transaction is not a loss.

After China got the Mughal Empire, the great powers in India had a hard time.

Although the Mughal Empire never unified India, it did not even actually occupy the southernmost part of the Indian peninsula.

But none of this is a matter in Li Shizu's view, and the whole of India is Mughal.

The Chinese Empire soon began a new round of expansion under the banner of the Mughal Empire.

Those southern "earth kings" are naturally no match for the murderous Japanese army.

In just over a month, the southern "land kings" who had never really surrendered to the Mughals for hundreds of years were all invited to Delhi by Li Shizu.

For the Western colonizers such as Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands, Li Shizu still gave them enough face.

Negotiations were held with them.

The Huaxia guaranteed their personal assets on the west coast of India, which some ports of the Mughal Empire could redeem for a fee.

For the Westerners who cooperated, the empire could continue to sign trade agreements with them.

If you don't cooperate, then you will naturally rob it.

After all, if you want to talk about who arrived in India first, Zheng He of Huaxia must have been earlier than the Portuguese, and they can't take advantage of this.

Despite their reluctance, the powers were forced to admit the cancellation of previous treaties with the Mughal Empire.

and re-signed a trade agreement with the Mughal Empire.

The Mughals succeeded in recovering the port of Mumbai on the west coast of India.

Eventually, three major cities centered on Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata were formed.

After getting rid of these colonists, Li Shizu's next target is naturally the "immortal little strong" Li Zicheng, I have to say that this guy is really fateful, and he is still alive and well.
