Kangxi won!
This time I really won!
First of all, diplomacy wins first. Although he has not been the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for several years, the imperialists still regard him as a good friend. England, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Sweden, and even the Pope came to form an alliance with him. Princess Sofia of the Rakshasa Kingdom simply married him, and even the young Peter came to study with him.
What's even more exaggerated is that even the original enemy Ming Dynasty sent an ambassador to Peshawar, taking a very "pragmatic" stance on the issue of Mongolia's conquest of India...
Then came the political victory. Thanks to Aurangzeb, the most hateful emperor of Hindustan, he had already acquired the persona of an enlightened emperor before he had a decisive battle with Aurangzeb. Everyone regarded him as an A.G. Keba was second and full of expectations for him. Therefore, Kangxi Khan, who was obviously playing away from home, actually got the home field advantage in the Punjab region.
In the end, of course, it was a big military victory!
Aurangzeb, who has been fighting for most of his life, has not actually accumulated much fighting power for his army... Although India is rich in brown sugar, his army is still stuck in the middle of the black powder era, and has entered the "low sugar" period. Compared with the Great Mongolian Army of the "Era", it is two eras behind. Moreover, Aurangzeb's army was relatively weak even if measured by the standards of the "mid-black powder era". Not only was it inferior to the Ottoman Empire, it was even inferior to Persia, which had carried out military reforms (imitating Europe). It even lost to war scum like Bukhara in its early wars in Central Asia!
Such an army can be bombarded by sugar-powder rockets and the Great Mongolian Army's Weiyuan Artillery and light general artillery, and can withstand the Mongolian coalition's half-numbered attacks for most of the day. It is really trying its best. It was worthy of the high military salary paid by Aurangzeb.
Therefore, when the 30,000 "Five Eighth Banner" cavalry led by Kangxi Khan "dishonestly" threw away the Ming army and rushed to the battlefield in a hasty march, the time had come for a big win.
These cavalrymen were the straw that broke the camel's back. With one blow, Aurangzeb's army was completely routed!
Even Aurangzeb himself was "engulfed" by the defeated Rajput soldiers, and his whereabouts are unknown...most likely he died in the rebel army.
However, Aurangzeb's "pawn" was not the greatest victory achieved by Kangxi Khan in this battle. The greatest victory he achieved was the city of Lahore, the former capital of the Hindustan Empire!
This is really a win!
On the evening of September 23, 1685 in the Western calendar, the defeated Kang Mazi was finally welcomed by the residents of Lahore. He led his 30,000 "May 8th Banner" cavalry and drove into the ten-man army. Lahore has four city gates, and magnificent temples and palaces can be seen everywhere in the city!
The ancient city of Lahore, founded more than a thousand years ago, has always been a prosperous central city in northwest India. The climate here is absolutely pleasant in India, and there is sufficient rainfall. The land in the surrounding countryside is fertile, and there is the Wera River—— The water transport of the Indus River was sufficient to support a large population. Lahore in the middle of the Mughal Dynasty was definitely the heyday of Lahore's history. Aurangzeb's father Shah Jahan and mother Ajman Banu (the owner of the Taj Mahal) once lived in Lahore for a long time.
Under the orders of Shah Jahan, the city of Lahore received a large amount of investment, and beautiful buildings were erected one after another. The Lahore Fort, which originally existed only as a fortress, has been continuously added and renovated, and gardens, fountains and palaces have been expanded, giving the Fort a completely new look and becoming a splendid royal palace.
And this splendid Lahore Castle has now become the palace of Kangxi Khan!
"Hahaha……"
Kangxi Khan's hearty laughter came from the main hall of Lahore Castle.
Ever since he lost the city of Beijing, Kangxi has never laughed happily again... until today!
"King Kang, Fei Yanggu, Tong Guogang...you all tell me how this Lahore city compares to Beijing city?"
Kangxi looked at the confidants who had gone through adversity with him and now entered the Lahore Fort, and asked questions with a smile.
"As for the Khan," Kang Wang Jieshu, like Kang Xi, was almost grinning from ear to ear, "Beijing city is not as prosperous as Lahore... A few years before we left Beijing, the number of permanent residents in Beijing city was even higher. Two hundred thousand is not enough.
I think this city of Lahore has a population of at least 400,000...and the city is high and deep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by abundant food and the transportation is extremely convenient. It is truly the residence of the emperor and the home of the emperor. "
"Great Khan," Fei Yanggu, who has now grown into Kangxi's most powerful general, said with a smile, "I also think Lahore is a treasure. Although there are no natural dangers around, it is better because of sufficient food and convenient transportation. If With this as our capital, we will go out to fight in all directions, and with the great khan’s wisdom and martial prowess, we will definitely be able to unify Tianzhu in a few years!”
Kangxi just smiled and said, "My General Fei, now is not the time to get carried away!"
"Great Khan, it's not that I am too proud," Feiyanggu said with a smile, "but that the soldiers of this country of Tianzhu are too weak... Aurangzeb is known to be good at fighting, but his soldiers and horses are just like that. They are no match for our Eight Banners. !”
Kangxi's eldest cousin Tong Guogang also took the opportunity to comment: "Great Khan, it seems that the Hindustan Empire is over... Here in Tianzhu, we are the Mongolian family, and the Westerners are fighting with the remnants of the San Francisco. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain, so even if we don’t have the desire to unify Tianzhu, I’m afraid Wu Guogui will, right?”
This was the path to unification, and Kangxi certainly liked it.
But he also knows that now is not the time for unification.
So Kangxi smiled and said: "Tianzhu is not China after all, and has never been unified in history... If I can do it, it will be the achievement of the First Emperor."
This great cause of the First Emperor's unification of the world was achieved step by step by more than thirty generations of monarchs of the Qin Kingdom. And I have just established a foothold in Tianzhu, so it is too early to consider this matter.
Moreover, Zhu Ming will fall out with the Westerners sooner or later for India's oil and water... Only then will we have the opportunity to have a big fight. "
Kangxi still seems to be looking forward to unifying India!
After all, he also served as the Qing emperor who almost unified China.
But he also knew that Zhu Heji would not let go of this fat piece of India easily. Moreover, the Western countries that covet India's wealth will not be willing to see Mongolia unify India.
Therefore, if Kangxi wanted to act recklessly, he might not be able to follow in Aurangzeb's footsteps.
Kangxi was not at all anxious about "unifying India".
"The top priority now," Kangxi thought, "is to turn Lahore into the best city of the Mughal Khanate as soon as possible! At the same time, we must turn Kabor into the summer capital of the Mughal Khanate.
Our Mughal Khanate is still an empty name!
In addition, all the court officials and family members of various banners who are stranded in Samarkand must be brought to live in Kabul or Lahore as soon as possible..."
Having said this, Kangxi's originally happy mood suddenly sank, and it was like a cliff.
Because there is another Princess Sofia in Samarkand!
Thinking of her, Kangxi Khan was a little frightened... At this moment, he suddenly heard Xiao Guizi shouting: "Khan, good news, the queen is coming soon!"
