Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 382 I Really Didn't Expect That You Can Pay For Zero Yuan Purchase! (Seeking a monthly pass, asking for a subscription)
Hearing that Aurangzeb said that the Mongolian Great Khan learned how to do business with the Dutch and the British, that Ulut Hezhuo just sighed and said with a wry smile to Aurangzeb, the richest man in the world: "You don't know about the Emir, Great Khan. He and Chagatai Khan had no intention of learning how to do business with the Mongols, so they just robbed them and it was over. What kind of business are they doing?"

"This...is the true nature of us Mongolians!" Aurangzeb felt a little chill down his spine after hearing these words, but he still tried to stay calm - he was also a Mongolian!

Although he looks very un-Mongolian, his genealogy clearly shows that he is an out-and-out Mongolian, and he also has the blood of the Golden Family. Although it is a bit thin, there is still a bit of it.

And he is also a great conqueror himself - known as the conqueror of the world, he can conquer the whole world!

This world conqueror must be very good at grabbing money!
So he shouldn't be afraid that the Mongol Khan will come and steal his money
However, Aurangzeb is still a wise man, so he felt that he should use his extraordinary wisdom instead of force to resolve the threat from the Mughal region.

If it is possible, you can also borrow some "more Mongolian" Mongolians from these Mongolian relatives to rob the damned Maratha Shivaji's money. You must let these undead Marathas know that we Mongolia How terrible it is for people to be fierce!
At this time, Ulut and Zhuo sighed again, and then said to Aurangzeb: "Before the Great Khan entered the Mughal region, he had heard of the fertility of the Kipchak grassland and the richness of the river area, and he felt that he could be with Aurangzeb." Like Genghis Khan back then, he robbed mountains of gold and silver in the Furao River. However, when his cavalry arrived in Ali Mari and Tashkent, he discovered that the Western Regions are now in a state of desolation, and there is no money to grab.

The Great Khan, Chagatai Khan, and Golden Horde Khan have already spent a lot of money for this Western Expedition.He even owed a large debt to the Han merchants in the East.If they can't grab enough money, they can only try to help those Han businessmen open up a land business route to the West and India, and see if they can make money through doing business. "

No wonder. It turns out we didn’t grab enough!Aurangzeb said in his heart: Ever since Genghis Khan burned, killed, looted and looted the river, it has started to go downhill!Later, although my ancestor Tamerlane revitalized Hezhong for a time, the good times did not last long. With the death of the great emperor, the empire fell into a long-term civil war and eventually fell apart. Hezhong, which had some signs of revival, fell into ruin again.Now, European merchants are traveling by sea to India and China, and the river is naturally in a state of collapse. Where is there enough money to plunder for the Great Mongolia, Golden Horde and Chagatai Khanate?
It seems that this group of Mongolians who have risen again don't know the market very well, and maybe they can take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Aurangzeb considered this and said: "Yes, the decline of Hezhong is because the trade routes are cut off. This is all the fault of the Uzbeks who rule Hezhong who only know how to fight and do not know how to develop trade! If the Khan hopes to revive the trade routes in Hezhong , I am willing to do my best to help Aamir Khan!"

"Alamgir, what are your orders?" Aamir Khan immediately bowed to Aurangzeb.

"Amir Khan, I order you to go to the Khan's court as my envoy together with my son Akbar, and present the gifts of our Tamerlane Khan to the Great Khan, and at the same time, together with the Great Khan, Chagatai Khan, The Golden Horde Khan negotiates the terms for the Mongolian East India Trading Company to enter the Indian trade. Remember, the Great Khan cannot lose money in his business, and must give the Mongolian East India Company the most favorable terms!"

After all, Aurangzeb was punished by the Uzbeks in Central Asia, so he knew how many ruthless people there were in the Mughal region of Central Asia. The "ruthless people" who could get ahead in that area must be extremely ruthless. Yes, so if you can coax, just coax people with virtue!
"As you order, Your Majesty Aramgil."

Aurangzeb waved his hand, interrupted Amir Khan and said: "Call me Timur Khan!"

"Yes, as ordered, Timur Khan!"

Aurangzeb nodded, then pointed to Ulut and Zhuo, and said to Amir Khan, "Amir Khan, you and Akbar will entertain the envoy of the Great Mongolian Khan for me!"

"As you order, Timur Khan."

"Akbar, Aamir Khan. What else did you get out of that Urut and Zhuo?"

On the afternoon of the second day after Aurangzeb summoned Ulut and Zhuo, the Khan of the "Tamerlane Khanate" in India listened to the report of his most trusted governor and son in the Red Fort Palace.

"Father," a tall, fair-skinned young man who resembled Aurangzeb preached to Aurangzeb, "according to what Ulut Hezhuo said after he was drunk, the Great Khan of Mongolia today Not really a Mongol, but a Jurchen emperor with some Mongolian blood descended from a woman of the Golden family, and his surname was not the noble Borjijin, but Aixinjueluo and Wu .”

"Aisin Gioro and Wu are so long!" Aurangzeb complained, "Where is Chagatai Khan? Isn't he also the same Jurchen?"

"No, no, he is a Mongolian. Chagatai Khan Simayi is the descendant of Said who fought with our ancestor Babur the Great."

"Oh, he is a real Chaghatai," Aurangzeb nodded, "but his ancestors don't seem to be very good at fighting. How is he? Is he good?"

"Not great," Prince Akbar said.

"How is that possible? Didn't it mean that the coalition forces of the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate were defeated by them?"

"In fact, it was the armies of the Golden Horde Khan and the Khan of the Western Zhou Dynasty that defeated the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate."

"Why are you sweating again?" Aurangzeb frowned, "How many khanates are there under this great Mongolian country?"

This person was sweating, that person was sweating, and Aurangzeb almost fainted with sweat.

"Father, this Khan of the Western Zhou Dynasty is not a Mongolian," Akbar said, "but a Chinese Han. He is the emperor of the Western Zhou Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms of China. His surname is Wu and his name is Shifan. He is Chagatai Khan Sima Yi's son-in-law was also Sima Yi's backer, and it was through his army that Sima Yi secured Chagatai Khan's power. The real power of Chagatai Khan was probably in the hands of the minister sent by the Khan of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "

"It's really complicated!" Aurangzeb frowned, "What about the Golden Horde? Are their Khans Mongolians?"

"Yes, the name of the Golden Horde Khan is Choros Galdan." Prince Akbar said, "Urut and Zhuo said that he is a Mongol Khan who is most like a Mongolian. His army was originally Mughal. The most powerful in the region. But when the armies of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Mongol Khan arrived in the Mongol area, Galdan's army was not worthy enough. So he had to seek refuge with the Mongol Khan and accepted the Golden Horde Khan Title."

It still sounded a bit confusing. The more Aurangzeb listened, the more confused he became, so he stopped asking. Instead, he said to the Governor of Afghanistan, "Amir Khan, this time you and Akbar will go to the Kuritai Conference together." We must take the opportunity to find out the reality of this Khan and that Khan, and then sign a trade agreement with them depending on the situation. In terms of money, there is no need to argue with them, after all, Mongolians all over the world are one family!"

Amir Khan said respectfully: "Yes, Timur Khan!"

And Prince Akbar looked at Amir Khan with a surprised face: "Amir Khan, what do you call my father?"

"It's called Timur Khan!" Aurangzeb said calmly, "Although we don't want to call ourselves Mughals (that is, Mughals) in India, our country is also called the Hindustan Empire, but As a devout Tianfang believer, you should learn to be flexible!"

Learn to be flexible?Akbar was dumbfounded. Could his father Aurangzeb say this?
Aurangzeb looked normal and said calmly: "Akbar, please remember that everything your father Aurangzeb did was just to unify India and turn this fragmented area like a plate of sand into A unified empire. By then, there will be no Marathas, Bengalis, Rajputs, Afghans, Mughals in India, only Indians!

In order to achieve this ambitious goal, sometimes I have to be a tough king, sometimes I have to be a conservative Tianfang believer, and sometimes I have to be a Khan of the Mongolian Khanate who believes in Tianfang religion! '

If those khanates with Mongol signs are really powerful, then we must be a Mongol khanate!Otherwise, they will turn all or part of India into a Mongol Khanate, but such a Mongol Khanate will have nothing to do with us.My dear son, do you understand? "

"Understood, I understand," Akbar nodded, "If you can't beat it, join in."

Aurangzeb finally showed a smile: "Very good! Then starting from tomorrow, you will start learning Mongolian and horse riding and archery. You will also wear Mongolian robes and drink wine and eat meat like the Mongols!"

"Drink?" Akbar was stunned, "I am a Tianfang believer, can I drink?"

Aurangzeb smiled and nodded: "How can a prince of the Mongol Khanate not know how to drink?"

Just when Prince Akbar was learning to be a Mongol, Galdan, a real Mongol, was learning how to fight without the Mongol method with Wu Shicong and Wu Xuanye in the barracks outside Tashkent.

I saw two armies conducting exercises on a fairly open school field covered with snow.One side of the exercise is three battalions of fusiliers plus one battalion of cavalry. They have already listed a classic "queue shooting formation", in which the three battalions of fusiliers form a horizontal team and a column respectively. The two battalions on the left and the center formed a large front and rear columns, and the one battalion on the right formed a tight column.Behind the right-wing column is a battalion of Lancers with strong impact
On the other side, there were also three battalions of fusiliers and one battalion of cavalry.The fusiliers of the three battalions were arranged in two large horizontal formations at the front and rear, and the cavalry was evenly distributed on both wings.

The two armies pretending to face each other were the Western Expeditionary Army of the Zhou Dynasty led by Wu Shicong and the Western Expeditionary Army of the Qing Dynasty led by Kangxi Khan Wu Xuanye.

These two armies are new armies formed to guard against the model armies of the Great Ming Army. The scale is not large. Among them, the Great Zhou Western Expeditionary Army has a total of twelve battalions, including eight flintlock battalions, one artillery battalion, and two cavalry battalions. An engineering battalion has a total strength of more than 1 troops.Kangxi's Great Qing Western Expeditionary Army had one more cavalry battalion than the Great Zhou Western Expeditionary Army, with a total of thirteen battalions and a total strength of more than 1 troops.

In addition to these two armies, Wu Shicong and Wu Xuanye each led a garrison army - the army that was preparing to set up bases in the Western Regions. The scale was not large, counting only officers and soldiers, they were around 3.

These two garrison troops are composed of ten mixed garrison brigades. Each garrison brigade has [-] people and is equipped with artillery, matchlock guns, spears, swords and shields, and war horses. They are a mixture of traditional cold and hot weapons. army.And all the officers and soldiers brought their families.

According to the plan, these twenty mixed farming brigades will establish farming strongholds in the Hezhong area and the Qinchak grassland respectively.A total of twenty strongholds have been established, and each stronghold must have a strong bastion, which is quite particular.

Both Golden Horde Khan Galdan and Chagatai Khan Sima Yi led their nomadic tribes to "swim" over together.It's not that they all come at once, but each of them brings a million households.

There is also a Turghut tribe who used to be nomadic on the Volga River. When they heard that the Mongolian Khan was marching westward again, they also rushed here. This is a "big bunch" of tens of thousands of households!
In addition, among the Kazakhs there were also those who surrendered to the Mongolian Kingdom—they also had Mongolian blood, and the Kazakh Khan was also from the line of the Golden Horde Khan.

So now the Mongolian Khan's Western Expeditionary Army is pieced together, and the scale is still not small. There are already tens of thousands of troops not counting family members!

As far as Central Asia is concerned, it is simply invincible!

However, being invincible does not mean that there is some profit. Wu Lute and Zhuo did not lie. Kangxi and Wu Shicong, the two "colonizer apprentices", have now lost money!

Success is hard-won. It’s easy to watch others buy for zero yuan, but it’s your turn to buy for zero yuan. You can actually lose money on this zero-dollar purchase!

And it's a lot of money. Just the two of them brought out more than 8 officers and soldiers, not including their family members. How big is the investment?As far as the current Mughal region is concerned, you can't scratch the ground even if you scrape the ground three feet!

Although both of them could seize a lot of territory through this Western Expedition, it could be used as a retreat for the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qing Dynasty.But economic losses will also weaken their ability to resist Ming's attacks in the future.

And you must not give up the newly won territory. This is a retreat. If you give up, if you can't defend the territory in the Central Plains, won't there be no end?
So they have to grit their teeth and continue to invest resources in it!

Because of too much loss, Wu Shizheng and Wu Xuanye, who were commanding the troops to carry out the exercise, did not look very good. Although the Western Expeditionary Army under them performed well, under the control of military drums, horns, flags and officers, Advance and retreat freely.Even the right wing of Wu Shicong's Great Zhou Western Expeditionary Army simulated a "right uppercut" and made a virtual attack on the left wing of Wu Xuanye's Great Qing Western Expeditionary Army.Moreover, Wu Shicong's left wing deliberately procrastinated and walked very slowly, thereby delaying the contact with the dominant Qing army's right wing on the opposite side!

I have to say that this exercise was very well organized!
Even Galdan, who was watching and studying with Wu Xuanye and Wu Shicong, couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Wu Xuanye and Wu Shicong both turned around and glanced at this Mongolian young man with a very good face, who seemed to be very close to Buddhism at first sight. Wu Xuanye squeezed out a smile and said to him in Mongolian: "Galdan, wait until Buha is defeated." Ra and Samarkand, you and Sima Yi should also have an army of three to four thousand each. If we can gather a strong force of thirty thousand, we should be able to defeat the Rakshasa people, right?"

"Yes! It must be possible!" Galdan said with a smile, "Kangxi Anda, Yushuai Anda, although the Rakshasa Cossack cavalry is very strong, their infantry is far behind your infantry. And the Kipchak The grassland is far away from the Rakshasa's capital, and their army may not be able to come. What we need to consider is how to remove the Rakshasa people's fortress. The Rakshasa people are very good at building fortresses, and we have almost no way to break the larger ones they built. 's castle."

The Raksha people bullied the Mongols in the Siberian forests or on Khalkha Mongolia, and a small number of brave Cossacks and advanced firearms were enough.But to deal with a powerful Mongolian Khanate like Junggar, which also has a lot of guns, a small number of Cossacks is not enough.In Rakshasa before Peter the Great's reform, there was no European-style army to use, and the shooting army and noble militias would not take advantage of the Junggars.

However, the Rakshasa people still have a way. Their way is to build a simple bastion. Although the bastion is simple, it is enough for the Junggar people who have no artillery and are not good at attacking cities.

"What's so difficult about it?" Wu Xuanye laughed, "Isn't it just a bastion? Li Zhongshan built one many years ago. It was the Portuguese fortress in Macau! I will also do his method, and I will teach you later !"

Kangxi is also a top student. The parallel trench siege method used by Li Zhongshan, Kangxi can figure it out after thinking about it with battle examples-it is nothing more than digging trenches to create dead ends, and then approaching and deploying curved guns to directly bombard the city.

Just as Galdan was about to thank him, he heard the sound of horseshoes. Looking back, it turned out that two flying horses, Suo'etu and Nan Huairen, had arrived in front of Kangxi.

"Big Khan," Suo'etu arched his hands and said, "Tang Ma came to report just now, saying that two missions have just arrived from Xianhai City, and they are planning the missions of the Rakshas and the Ottomans!"

Kangxi was stunned, "What? The Ottoman envoy and the Rakshasa envoy came together? Aren't they hostile?"

Nan Huairen said: "Great Khan, the Ottomans have obviously made peace with the Rakshas, ​​after all, the reputation of the Great Mongolia is a bit scary!"

Kangxi smiled: "Let's do it together. I just want to open a trade route to the Western Regions, and at the same time let the Rakshasa people return the Siberian Khanate to me. Isn't this a high request?"

Wu Shicong laughed and said, "Not high, not high at all. Our Great Mongolia has this strength!"
