In the twenty-third year of Kangxi's reign, it was the first day of July.
In Registan Square in Samarkand, Kangxi Khan, who once again put on his armor, was standing under the huge and shocking gate of Ugbek Academy with his wife Sofia Yiyi who was pregnant with their child. Say goodbye reluctantly.
Today is the day when he leads his troops to leave Samarkand and head for Kabul - just a few days ago, Fuyuan General Feyangu's good news has been sent to Samarkand, reporting that he captured Kabul and severely damaged Amir Khan's troops. Tianzhu soldiers killed and captured more than 20,000 people in a great victory.
In this battle, Amir Khan, the general of the Indian Mughal Kingdom and the governor-general of Afghanistan, was almost wiped out, but he barely escaped under the leadership of a few soldiers.
Moreover, in order to save limited white sugar, Kangxi did not "distribute sugar" to the new auxiliary troops commanded by Fei Yanggu, but asked them to invade Afghanistan in "sugar-free mode".
Even in the sugar-free state, these miscellaneous troops commanded by Feiyanggu still suppressed Amir Khan's Tianzhu soldiers and beat them hard!
Especially the tactics of queuing to shoot and bayonet assault back to the Eight Banners made Aamir Khan doubtful about his life.
Therefore, Fei Yanggu simply said in his report: "This is not because I am good at fighting, but because Tianzhu's soldiers are actually very weak!"
Since the Tianzhu soldiers were weak, Kangxi Khan had nothing to worry about. So he immediately decided to lead the elite soldiers of the Qing Banner, the Mongolian Banner, and the Ruba Banner, plus the Cossacks and Turgut cavalry led by Archduke Peter and Count Golovin, a total of 150,000 people, to Kabul, preparing to attack in one fell swoop Khyber Pass!
However, Kangxi Khan, who was confident of winning, did not look in good spirits. His face was pale and he was very thin, as if he had been squeezed dry.
And his wife Sofia gained weight again after becoming pregnant and looked more like a giantess. Because she was about to say goodbye to her beloved Khan, Queen Sofia cried like a thunderstorm with her mouth wide open!
Sofia's wails could be heard in the entire Registan Square. The Sauron cavalry, Xibo cavalry and Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry who lined up in the square waiting for Kangxi Khan's order to go out were frightened by the thunderous cries. . Everyone was silent and looked at Kangxi Khan with admiration and sympathy.
Kangxi Khan also tried hard to pretend to be reluctant to give up... Although he was extremely happy in his heart. Now he could finally go to Tianzhu to find beautiful women, and he even went to find them with his brother-in-law, Grand Duke Peter.
But he can't anger Queen Sofia, because he still needs this shrew to look after his house!
His grandmother Bumubutai is very old and unable to hold herself together. . As for Kong Shenggong, Yue Le, Jieshu, Xiong Cilu, and Shi Lang, the important ministers of the Western Qing Khanate, Kangxi did not trust them very much. Otherwise, he would not have moved from Tashkent to Samarkand... Kong Shenggong's Ruba Banner is now settled in the original Tashkent area that has been renamed Shifucheng.
In addition, within the original Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, and Kazakh Khanate, and now the Bukhara League, Khiva League, and Kazakh League, there are still some people who are ready to make a move.
Therefore, Kangxi Khan could only ask Sofia, a shrew, to guard Samarkand with a thousand Cossack mercenaries and five thousand Turghut cavalry, so that he would not be afraid that someone would dare to plot evil when the army went south to "print".
"Sofia," Kangxi tried his best to maintain a reluctant expression, "stop crying, or you may break your body from crying. You are still pregnant with our child!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Sofia couldn't hold back her tears, but her cry was slightly quieter.
Kangxi said to her again: "When I settle down in Kabul and break through the Khyber Pass, I will send someone to pick you up.
I heard that Kabul is a good place with a pleasant environment and a cool climate. In the early years, after conquering half of India, Babur, the founder of the Mughal Khanate, lived in Kabul for half the year and Lahar in northern India for half the year. At that time, we will do the same. If you are afraid of the heat, you will live in Kabul. I will live in Lahar for half the year to take charge of military and government affairs, and return to Kabul for half the year... Let's play and have fun together. What do you think? "
"Half a year in Kabul, half a year in Lahar" is actually a common operation among the first and second generation ancestors of various printing professionals.
After all, India is too hot for printers from Central Asia. Moreover, there are various diseases in India, and visitors from the north cannot adapt to them all at once.
So Kabul became their holy place for summer vacation and recuperation.
Sofia was indeed afraid of the heat. She was naturally very happy when she heard her husband's thoughtful arrangements. She finally stopped crying and nodded and said, "Khan. Then I will wait for your good news in Samarkand." Then she glared, He patted his chest and promised: "As long as I am here in Samarkand, no one can make trouble! You can rest assured, Khan!"
"Okay!" Kangxi said with a smile, "I just trust you...just wait for my good news!"
What was good news for Kangxi and Sophia was not good news for Aurangzeb, who had returned to Delhi.
After receiving the report of the defeat of his beloved general Amir Khan, he hurriedly led his troops back from the Deccan Plateau.
Afghanistan is the gateway to northwest India! Almost all enemies that have invaded India since ancient times have come through Afghanistan.
Now that Afghanistan has been captured by the enemy and the door to India is wide open, Aurangzeb of course has to put aside the matter of pacifying the Deccan Plateau and unifying all of India.
In the city of Delhi, in a palace with very simple decoration. Aurangzeb had a gloomy old face and saw Aamir Khan who came to plead guilty to him.
"Your Majesty Alamgir, I have betrayed your trust, and I am guilty..." Amir Khan knelt at the feet of Aurangzeb and said with tears, "But the army of Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia is unprecedentedly powerful! Kazakh, Buha The warriors of Ra and Shiva became his vassals.
Moreover, Kangxi Khan also had the most powerful musketeers in the world. They were all armed with flintlock muskets, and were able to form themselves into very neat formations, and bombard our men with heavy volleys. There is no way my people can defeat them..."
Hearing Aamir Khan justifying his failure, Aurangzeb became very angry. He snorted heavily and just wanted to have him thrown into prison. Then I heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and then the voice of my son Abdul Shah.
"Father, good news!" Abdul Shah walked in quickly from outside the hall, "News from Bangladesh... our reinforcements may have arrived!"
As he spoke, he handed a letter to Aurangzeb, "This is an autographed letter from Shasta Khan. The letter said that the army of the Ming Dynasty was under the command of a general named Yongli. Arrived in Arakan.”
"What? They came so fast?" Aurangzeb was stunned. "Are you sure they are here to help us?"
"Of course!" Abdul replied, "The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are mortal enemies... They can't join forces to deal with us in India, right? We have never offended him."
Aurangzeb nodded slightly: "I hope so!"
India already has many enemies!
The court in Delhi has received news that the Dutch East India Company, the British East India Company, the French East India Company, and the Portuguese in Goa have all taken action for some unknown reason. A coalition was formed to join forces with Kangxi and Han to deal with the Mughals!
If Ming Dynasty also becomes India's enemy, then Aurangzeb really has no hope...
