Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 552 The Mongolian Beloved Father Kangxi Is Coming

Shaista Khan immediately ordered to retreat, and the army retreated for more than ten miles before stopping.

After counting the number of people, there are only about 20 left in the [-] army!
Some were killed by the Ming army on the battlefield, and most of them fled and did not return to the army, becoming defeated soldiers.

The Ming army immediately launched a counterattack against the Mughal army under the order of Wang Xianwu.

The Ming Defense Forces, Guards, and servants from various countries stepped out of the trenches one after another, and started chasing the Mughals with mortars on their horses.

Shaista was just about to set up camp, and planned to send a large number of troops from the rear.

It turned out that the Ming army had launched a pursuit, and quickly ordered a retreat.

Fortunately, the mobility of the Ming army was not so strong, and the pursuit speed was not fast.

However, the cities that Shaista reoccupied fled immediately after the Ming army killed the carbine.

The Tianzhu people in the city, on the contrary, welcomed the Ming army into the city with joy as if they were celebrating a festival.

After the Ming army occupied these cities, the discipline was very strict, and they did not offend ordinary Tianzhu people.

It was the Mughals who reoccupied these cities, who took advantage of the chaos to rob and rape women everywhere, causing complaints.

Although the people of Tianzhu belong to Buddhism, you can trample on them, but everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, okay?
Good or bad can be seen at a glance.

Shaista's army has been driven out by the Ming army for more than 50 kilometers, and the Ming army began to shrink to avoid going too deep into the enemy's territory and being surrounded.

Let's digest the territory first, and sort out the logistics. The most important thing in the war in Ming Dynasty is the logistics. If the supplies are not in place, the situation will be dangerous!

More importantly, it is estimated that Kangxi is also attacking. When Kangxi attacks, the Mughals will ignore their heads and tails. Whether it is fighting or letting the Mughals cede land and pay compensation, it is easy to say!

As Wang Xianwu expected, the same thing happened in the far northwest, except that the Qing Dynasty was not as civilized as the Ming Dynasty.

Under the threat of Prince Kang's musket in Kabul, the Pashtun herdsmen leaders tremblingly slaughtered sheep and cattle, so that these "kings" who came from afar could have a good meal.

The Pashtun herdsmen in Afghanistan, who had been ruled by the Mughals for more than half a century, finally got the "master" whom they had been looking forward to day and night.

It's just that these "king masters" are too many.

Little Kabul, even if all the cattle and sheep are killed, it can't afford to support so many Qing masters!
But soon, the Pashtuns found that they didn't have to worry about their livestock.

Because of his meowing, they were soon coerced by the Qing army, and all the people and livestock were packed away.

With Long Kedo's own hands, the Qing Dynasty hung a well-preserved yellow dragon flag on the roof of the palace in Leh, and hung up a huge photo of the Mongolian father Kangxi!

"This place is the territory of the Mongolian Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty, and you are all under the protection of the Heavenly Khan."

Kangxi's first-class bodyguard, Longkodo, patrolled around with his own soldiers, and asked someone to translate and shouted, "But you have been bullied by the Mughals for a long time, how can you give up like this? Now this general represents Tian Khan, and I am here to lead you Wait, kill the mountains, crusade against the Mughals, and snatch back your cattle, sheep and livestock with your own hands. As for this place, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty will come to receive it in the future. Don’t worry about it! Take it away!”

In this way, about [-] Pashtun herdsmen were also under the muskets and bayonets of the Qing Dynasty, driving their livestock and following the army to continue westward.

With the assistance of these locals, the Qing Dynasty acted very quickly this time.

About two weeks later, the Khyber Pass was in sight.

The Khyber Pass is the largest and most important pass in the "Kill the Indians" range.

The Tianzhu subcontinent is actually an extremely closed place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Compared with the long border between Huaxia and the northern nomads, there are beacons everywhere, and battlefields are different everywhere.

The north and northwest of the Tianzhu subcontinent have high mountains as natural barriers, while the southwest and southeast are all seas. If foreign enemies want to invade India, the only breakthrough is the Khyber Pass, whose narrowest point is no more than 600 meters.

If any dynasty in the history of China was here, even if it was the Song Dynasty, wouldn't it have to spend all its power to build fortresses and city walls on this mountain pass, and block this opening?

But the brain circuit of the third brother is so amazing.

I just don't cultivate.

I'm just playing.

If you dare to conquer, I dare to surrender!
The Himalayas and Karakorum are guarded by the north of Tianzhu, which is called a high!
Moreover, to the north of these two mountains is still a snow-covered plateau with overlapping mountains. If you walk a lot on it, you will not be able to breathe, let alone crossing mountains and ridges to Tianzhu.
When the weather was warm in the Tang Dynasty, the population on the snowy plateau was more, and there was a big Tubo, and they could go to Tianzhu from time to time.

But since the weather became cooler, this has not happened since the Little Ice Age.

The northeast of Tianzhu and the border areas of Burma and Arakan also have natural dangers of mountains and peaks, and that area is not only dangerous in terrain, but also a place of dysentery.

If instead of taking the waterway of the Bay of Bengal, but crossing the mountains into India, the disease alone would kill [-], [-]% or even more of the invaders. How could the rest be in the mood for aggression?

This is why Zhu Kezang wanted to attack the Mughals by water, and it was too expensive to go over the mountains and mountains next to Myanmar!

As a result, the two unique offensive routes were seized by Zhu Kezang and Kangxi's two old enemies.

The place where the Khyber Valley where the Kangxi army passed through was not a backwater.

To the west of the valley is Kabul, which is the territory laid down by Prince Kang.

Later generations are less developed cities, but in the long history, Kabul was more prosperous than London, Paris, and New York most of the time!

To the east of the Khyber Valley is the Gandhara Basin, which is the base camp of the Gandhara Kingdom, which is famous for its Greek-style Buddhist art. Its richness can be seen.

And now in the 17th century, although Gandhara has long since disappeared.

But thanks to the Tianzhu-Central Asia trade line and the agriculture of the Gandhara Basin, the Gandhara Basin is still very rich, and there is also a large city Peshawar whose prosperity is at least equivalent to that of a second-tier European city.

Moreover, this Peshawar city is very close to the Khyber Pass, almost blocked outside the Khyber Pass, so it can completely become part of the defense system of the Khyber Pass and provide strong logistical support for the troops stationed at the Khyber Pass .

As the political, economic, and cultural center of the region, Peshawar has had trade relations with neighboring countries since ancient times. Faxian and Xuanzang, the great ancient Chinese travelers, both visited this place.

However, later generations of the city were known as the "City of Terror".

The first goal of the Kangxi army is it!

Kangxi Khan couldn't sit still anymore. Although the leaders of Bukhara, Khiva, and the local chiefs of Afghanistan all patted their chests and assured him that it would be no problem to wait until the army had a rest in Kabul before marching, but he didn't know what to do. Don't wait any longer.

Kangxi remembered that Zhu Kezang's bastard was also eyeing Tianzhu, and he was late, so he didn't have any soup.
