Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 537 Suddenly Became the Enemy of All Asia (Subscribe!)
November 1689, Tianzhu, Agra Fort.

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.

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

These cannons are covered with various patterns, and the tails of the cannons are welded with lifelike animal heads. It is very valuable at first glance. Probably only the rich Mughal Dynasty can 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 castle are made of marble and other precious stones, which are extremely luxurious.

Figures, flowers and birds are carved on the walls between the columns in the hall, and the window towers hollowed out of marble are inlaid with colorful gemstones, which are dazzling.

The most magnificent of these was the Privy Palace, with walls of white marble shining brightly, gilded roofs gleaming, and pillars inlaid with precious stones.

The Privy Palace is the place where the Mughal emperor and his ministers discussed matters. It is all made of marble. Three sides are arches composed of square columns, and the other side is embroidered square windows. The carved pictures are typical Muslim architectural patterns.

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

The inner palace is the entertainment palace, which is mainly a place for emperors, concubines 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 and ministers and foreign envoys.

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

Sitting on the throne is the Mughal emperor: Aurangzeb.

Before 1685, the world conqueror's battle for the unification of India went relatively smoothly.

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

为夺取孟加拉的贸易权，英国东印度公司于1685年委派查尔德爵士率领12艘战舰、约1000名战斗人员（包含600名水兵及东印度公司控制下马德拉斯的400名武装雇员）的舰队前往孟加拉湾。

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

The Mughal side demanded a ceasefire and suggested that negotiations be resumed.

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

Sir Child retreated to camp on a small island at the mouth of the Hooghly River, trying to force the Mughals to compromise, but 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 to intercept the pilgrimage ships sailing 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 use a delaying strategy to persuade the British fleet to return to the east coast.

When the British ship returned to the east, it found that the negotiations had not made progress, so it bombed the coastal port of Balasso with superior firepower.

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

Aurangzeb is a smart guy who knows how to use different imperialisms.

In 1689, Aurangzeb first ordered the confiscation of the property of the British merchants distributed in various places, and then sent the Muslim general Jahira and the Ethiopian Christian Mapila to lead two European sailing battleships equipped with dozens of cannons and a large number of activities on the southwest coast The pirate fleet attacked Bombay.

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

Seeing that the victory was about to be won, Aurangzeb, who was about to drive away the British, found that he had somehow become the enemy of the whole of Asia at the end of 1689!
He found that at this time, on the western and eastern continents, there was a behemoth ready to beat him up.

Who can stand this.

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

This person is tall and thin, wearing a white cotton robe, with a turban on his head, and there is no valuable item on his body. He is Aurangzeb who looks like an ascetic.

He was sitting on a white armchair with his hands on his knees, looking solemnly at a short, thick man with thick head and thick head standing below him, and listening to his narration about the Great Qing and Mongolian United Empire.

"Your Majesty Alamgir (meaning World Conqueror), according to the reliable information that was transmitted to the northwest before the heavy snow closed the mountains, Kangxi Khan of the Qing Dynasty Mongolia married Sophia, the powerful princess from the northern Raksha Kingdom some time ago.

And the Kuritai Conference was held in Astana, and the great khans of the six khanates, including Bukhara, Khiva and other khanates, attended the conference.At this meeting, Kangxi Khan announced that he would lead an army of 100 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 the famous movie star of Tianzhu in later generations, and it is said that the star is his descendant.

He is an important minister of Aurangzeb and the official worship governor of Afghanistan.

Those who play politics are all born actors, no wonder the offspring can become big stars.

The person who can settle Afghanistan, a plateau rich in Indian conquerors, for Aurangzeb is of course very capable!

He made a Tianzhu version of the Tweet Order on the Afghan plateau, stipulating that the tribes have the right to ask the chief for land.

This move caused the tribes to kill each other, and there was no time for Mughal's rebellion.

But now there is a big problem.

The tribes in Afghanistan who are caught in cannibalism certainly have no spare power to help Amir Khan resist the millions of troops of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia!

In addition, when Amir Khan was the governor of Afghanistan, in order to keep the mountain road leading to the river area unimpeded, he has been paying road money to the tribes along the way, so that it has formed a practice.

If Kangxi Khan is also willing to spend this money, his army may be able to quickly pass through the mountains of Afghanistan 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 the Indians.

"Your Majesty Alamgir, according to reliable news from Madras (the colony of the East India Company in southeast India), the despicable British are trying to lure the Ming Empire to invade Tianzhu. At present, a large number of warships and armed merchant ships are coming from Europe Come with the direction, a large-scale sea invasion is imminent!"
