Chapter 391: Shang Zhixiao's Death

After brainwashing, the Celestial Cultists fell down and poured up again, piling up corpses, and finally captured the castle named Zailiysky in front of them, defeating the Indian soldiers stationed inside.

The Ming army stormed the castle, and in close combat, the Ming army, armed with rear-loading guns and pistols, faced the Indian soldiers with only front-loading guns and swords, and it was a one-sided massacre, and soon, the Indians were either killed or surrendered.

Shang Zhixiao personally led more than a dozen Ming soldiers into the room of the Mughal prince Bahadur Shah, and aimed his rear-loading gun and pistol at a man in front of him wearing a golden silk robe and a red turban wrapped around his head. Shang Zhixiao looked at the man's outfit and saw that he was wearing a luxurious silk and gold silk robe, a huge sapphire inlaid on his turban, and a treasure knife with a gold scabbard inlaid with precious stones hanging from his waist, and he knew that the person in front of him must be the prince.

Shang Zhixiao smiled evilly, and pointed the revolver in his hand at Bahadur Shah: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm sorry, you have become our prisoner today!" ”

Bahadur Sha fiercely drew his sharp scimitar from the golden scabbard, the blade reflecting a dazzling glow in the sunlight that shone into the castle. Bahadur Shah turned his heart sideways, turned the blade of his knife, and aimed it at his neck to wipe it off.

"Bang" Shang Zhixiao fired, a bullet hit Bahadur Shah's arm holding the knife, only to hear a "clang", the golden knife fell to the ground.

Then two tall Ming soldiers pounced, like eagles catching chickens, twisting the noble Mughal crown prince and tying him firmly.

"You can't die! It's useless to keep you. Shang Zhixiao smiled and blew into the muzzle of the gun, and inserted the pistol back into his waist.

Subsequently, the Second Western Expeditionary Army attacked the city in all directions, and the castles occupied by the Mughal army were breached by the Ming army one by one.

After more than a year of fierce fighting, in May 1674, the Ming army recovered the entire territory of the Great Yuzi and Middle Yuzi Khanates, after which the two khanates became vassals to the Ming Empire.

The victorious Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao brothers did not stop there, but rushed across the Afghan plateau with a large army of soldiers and horses, all the way south, and continued to attack the Mughal Empire in the South Asian subcontinent.

50,000 troops of the Second Western Expedition, plus 50,000 people, a total of 100,000 troops, known as 300,000 troops, marched into the territory of the Mughal Empire from north to south.

In the Agra Red Fort in Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was holding a court meeting, when someone suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! The Ming army has invaded the Mughal Empire! The Sikhs on our border have also rebelled! ”

After the Second Western Expedition entered the Mughal Empire, the Sikhs on the border of the Mughal Empire jumped out as soon as possible and openly raised their banners to resist the oppression of the Mughal Empire.

Because Aurangzeb had always resorted to heavy taxes on non-Celestial Christians, the Sikhs had had enough of being oppressed by the Mughal Empire. When the Ming army invaded the territory of the Mughal Empire, the Sikhs were the first to respond, they followed the Ming army, saddled up and behind the horse, led the way for the Ming army, provided intelligence, and maintained law and order in the occupied areas. With the puppet army as a thug for yourself, it is indeed much more comfortable to fight, you don't have to worry about being ambushed by the locals on the road, you don't have to worry about being killed by someone else's cold arrow on the street, you don't have to worry about this, anyway, there are Sikhs helping you maintain law and order.

In addition to the Sikh rebellion, the common people of the Punjab region (present-day Pakistan) also took the opportunity to rebel, rebelling against the rule of the Mughal Empire and demanding an independent state.

After all, they believe in Tianfang, and the Mughal Empire forcibly blended Tianfangism and Hinduism together to establish an empire, and there are constant contradictions between these two religions, such as religion, ethnicity, caste, region, etc., in fact, there are too many internal contradictions in the huge Mughal Empire, giving the Ming Western Expedition a chance to break through.

In addition to the southward march of the Ming Dynasty, the British also took advantage of the fire to loot and took the opportunity to attack north from the southern sea.

The Englishman Robert led 20,000 British troops and recruited 30,000 Indian men as auxiliaries to attack from south to north.

The Ming army in the north was the Red Coats, the British army in the south was also the Red Army, and the Red Armies in the north and south flanked the Mughal Empire. Although the weapons of the British army are not as good as the Ming army, the British army is also very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the British army is strong, which is not at all something that the army of the Mughal Empire can compete with, and the British army has also adopted a method of division and confrontation, making good use of various contradictions within the Mughal Empire such as religion, ethnicity, caste, and region, and breaking them down.

The strong British army collided head-on with the Mughal army, the British army first bombarded with artillery, and after getting closer, the British red-clothed musketeers kept the Mughal soldiers within 30 meters before firing with a platoon of guns, and after a round of shooting, the British soldiers charged with bayonet rifles, and a charge broke the Mughal army.

Three years later, the embattled Emperor Aurangzeb finally accepted the terms of the two states of the Ming and the British, signed the instrument of surrender, and became a puppet emperor, so that the Mughal Empire fell, and the north became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the kingdoms of India and Nepal of Shang Zhixin became British India in the south.

Shang Zhixiao, who played a great role in the war to conquer the South Asian subcontinent, did not end well in the end, because his power expanded rapidly, and he already regarded himself as the king of the South Asian subcontinent, which caused Shang Zhixin's dissatisfaction.

Conquered some small princely states, Shang Zhixiao captured the princesses of the small princely states, looking at those beautiful Indian princesses, Shang Zhixiao felt that he had come to India to come to the right place, although ordinary Indians are difficult to see, but they didn't expect the princesses of the Indian princely states to be so beautiful.

Shang Zhixiao built a castle-like palace on the edge of Delhi, named the New Delhi Palace, and raised dozens of princesses of small princely states captured from various princely states in India for his own enjoyment.

But the good times didn't last long, at a banquet, Shang Zhixin toasted his younger brother Shang Zhixiao again and again, Shang Zhixiao was drunk, and the guards around him who had been bought by Shang Zhixin brought him a large basin of Ganges water. Shang Zhixiao, who was extremely thirsty, died of poisoning because he drank too much water from the Ganges.

"Death from Ganges water poisoning?" Wang Yu heard the news that Shang Zhixiao drank too much Ganges water and died of poisoning, laughing and laughing, drinking Ganges water poisoning to death, it is indeed a ridiculous thing, the local Indians have not been poisoned by drinking Ganges water for thousands of years, why did Shang Zhixiao drink it once and be poisoned? It seems that the resistance is still not good enough.

However, after Shang Zhixiao was poisoned and died, no one in the South Asian subcontinent could contain Shang Zhixin, who was a soil emperor there.
