Chapter 537 Suddenly became the enemy of all Asia (please subscribe!)

November 1689, Agra Castle, Tianzhu.

This is an important Mughal building from the 16th century.

Outside the castle is a huge red wall, which is a solid fortress built of red sandstone. The wall is 2.5 kilometers long and surrounds the palace of the Mughal rulers in the middle.

On the walls of the castle, there are also many bronze cannons that are extremely beautifully cast and look like works of art.

These cannons are covered with various patterns, and lifelike animal heads are welded to the tails of the cannons. You can tell at a glance that they are valuable. Only the rich Mughal Dynasty would cast such exquisite cannons in large quantities.

Bar?

There are many palaces in the castle that look like fairy tales.

All the palaces in the fort are made of marble and other precious stones, and are extremely luxurious.

Figures, flowers and birds are carved on the walls between the pillars of the hall, and the windows on the upper floors are hollowed out with marble and inlaid with colorful gems, which are dazzling.

The most gorgeous of them all is the Privy Palace, with its gleaming white marble walls, gleaming gilded roof, and dazzling columns inlaid with gems.

The Privy Palace was the place where the Mughal emperor and ministers held meetings. It was all built of marble. Three sides were arches composed of square columns, and the other side was an embroidered square window. The carved pictures were typical Muslim architectural patterns.

The palace is divided into two parts: the inner palace and the outer palace.

The inner palace is the entertainment palace, mainly a place for emperors, princesses and princesses to rest, play and entertain. The main building of the outer palace is the audience palace, where the Mughal emperor received dignitaries, princes, ministers and foreign envoys.

There is a niche in the middle of the inner wall of the palace. In front of it is the king's marble throne, 3 meters high, with reliefs of flowers, birds, trees and other sculptures carved on it.

Sitting on the throne was none other than the Mughal Emperor: Aurangzeb.

Before 1685, the world conqueror's battle to unify India was proceeding relatively smoothly.

After 1685, the British set their sights on this fat Indian giant.

In order to seize the trading rights of Bengal, the British East India Company appointed Sir Charles to lead 12 warships and about 1,000 combatants (including 600 sailors and 400 armed employees in Madras under the control of the East India Company) in 1685.

The fleet heads to the Bay of Bengal.

Shaista Khan, the then Governor of Bengal and Aurangzeb's uncle, suggested peace talks, but due to a conflict between Mughal officials and British sailors, the negotiations broke down and British ships launched an attack.

The Mughals demanded a ceasefire and suggested restarting negotiations.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Mughal soldiers arrived from the Ganges waterway to the front line of Chittagong and began to attack and land the British troops.

Sir Child retreated to camp on a small island at the mouth of the Hooghly River in an attempt to force the Mughals to compromise. However, due to the harsh environment and scarce resources, he lost more than half of his soldiers in three months and was forced to return to Madras.

In 1688, the British sent Captain Heath to lead a smaller fleet to suddenly arrive in the Arabian Sea, preparing to intercept pilgrim ships to Mecca setting off from the northwest coast of India.

Aurangzeb was caught off guard, and considering his international reputation, the Mughals were forced to agree to restart trade negotiations and used a delaying strategy to persuade the British fleet to return to the east coast.

When the British ships returned eastward, they found that the negotiations had not made progress, so they used superior firepower to bombard the coastal port of Barrasso.

At this time, a large number of Mughal troops gathered in Chittagong and established a strong fortress with the assistance of France and Portugal.

Aurangzeb was a smart man and knew how to make use of different imperialisms.

In 1689, Aurangzeb first ordered the confiscation of British merchant properties scattered throughout the country, and then sent the Muslim general Jahira and the Ethiopian Christian Mapila to lead two European sailing battleships equipped with dozens of artillery and a large number of activities on the southwest coast.

The pirate fleet attacks Bombay.

At the same time, a large number of armies coordinated attacks on the east and west coasts, suppressing the opponent in the fortresses of Bombay and Madras respectively.

Aurangzeb, who was about to win the victory and was about to drive away the British, found at the end of 1689 that he had somehow become the enemy of all Asia!

He discovered that at this time, there was a giant creature on each continent in the west and east, ready to beat him up.

Who can withstand this?

In the grand hall, there is a person who is out of tune with the environment.

This man was tall and thin, wearing a white cotton robe, a turban on his head, and no valuables on his body. He was Aurangzeb who looked like an ascetic.

He was sitting on a white armchair, with his hands on his knees, looking solemnly at a short, sturdy man standing below, listening to him describe the Qing Dynasty and the Mongol United Empire.

"Your Majesty Alamgir (meaning conqueror of the world), according to reliable information that reached the northwest before the heavy snow closed the mountains, Kangxi Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty married Sophia, the powerful princess from the northern Rakshasa Kingdom some time ago.

And the Kuritai Conference was held in Astana. The Khans of the six khanates, including Bukhara, Khiva and other khanates, attended the conference. At this conference, Kangxi Khan announced

Will lead an army of one million to attack the Mughal Empire!"

The man who was reporting to Aurangzeb that the Qing Mongol Empire army was about to invade was named Amir Khan.

He has the same name as a famous movie star from Tianzhu in later generations, and it is said that that star is his descendant.

He was an important minister of Aurangzeb and served as the Governor-General of Afghanistan.

Those who play politics are all born actors. No wonder future generations can become big stars.

The person who can help Aurangzeb settle Afghanistan, a plateau rich in Indian conquerors, is certainly very capable!

He made a Tianzhu version of the Tuen Order on the Afghan plateau, stipulating that tribesmen had the right to request land from the chief.

This move caused the tribes to fight each other, and there was no time for the Mughals to rebel.

But now there's a big problem.

The tribes of Afghanistan, which were locked in cannibalism, certainly had no spare power to help Amir Khan withstand the Qing Mongolian army of one million!

In addition, when Amir Khan was the governor of Afghanistan, in order to maintain the smooth flow of the mountain roads leading to the Transoxiana area, Amir Khan had been paying road money to the tribes along the way, so that it became a practice.

If Kangxi Khan was willing to spend this money, his army might be able to quickly pass through the Afghan mountains and enter the Indus River Basin from the Khyber Pass.

Aurangzeb felt a headache when he thought of the Khyber Pass, also known as the pass that killed people from Tianzhu.

"Your Majesty Alamgir, according to reliable news from Madras (the East India Company's colony in southeastern India), the despicable British are trying to tempt the Ming Empire to invade Tianzhu. There are currently a large number of warships and armed merchant ships coming from Europe.

Come with us and the direction, a large-scale maritime invasion is imminent!"
