Chapter 1095: Mughal Palace Changes
***
Aurangzeb not only received the envoy sent by Hai Rufeng, but even sent Hak to visit Hai Rufeng in person.
At the same time, while pretending to be ready to be dismissed and returning to Beijing, he ordered the dead soldiers who were hiding in the capital to wait for an opportunity. He led the army to fight for more than ten years, and made great achievements, knowing that once his brother succeeded to the throne, he would not let him go.
And he is not willing to give up the throne, and he is not willing to be killed. Therefore, over the years, he has been arranging all the time, and many people have been lurking in the capital city of Delhi, just to deal with such a mutation.
Although this time the matter came suddenly, he did not hesitate for long, this is not his style of doing things, once he decided, he calmed down and changed back to Guo Yi's cold nature.
It is not enough to have a hidden manpower in Beijing, this time it is enough to move, and if it moves, it will be thunderous, so as to quickly take Delhi and seize the power of the Mughals.
Only in this way can we reduce internal friction to the lightest level, and at the same time quickly re-armament to deal with the enemy in the north and south. Of course, it would be better if Kerry could convince the Qin people that the two sides would cease fighting.
Huck, who was pinned on by Aurangzeb, let Hai Rufeng retreat everyone, and when there were only two people left in the big tent, he said: "Admiral Hai, I, the Mughal, have no grievances with Daqin. My Highness doesn't want to be an enemy of Great Qin. Sending me this time is to bring twelve points of sincerity, hoping to reconcile with Great Qin. β
Hai Rufeng sent an envoy, but he didn't really intend to talk to Oriangzebu, but just wanted to add fuel to the fire. Aurangzeb's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
Huck's words immediately hit the nail on the head. In his opinion, the current war between the Mughals and other countries was actually just a war between them and the agents of the Qin state.
In other words, as long as Qin wanted to, he could end this war at any time. Without the support of the Qin State, the small states of Otesa would not have been able to fight into the northern plains. It was a blessing that the Mughals did not attack them.
Therefore, he did not mention a few small countries of Orissa at all, but directly expressed his willingness to reconcile with Great Qin.
Da Qin came all the way to India to support several small countries in Orissa to fight against the Mughals, is it full of food and nothing to do, support?
Of course not. The reason for this is that the Qin State is just driven by interests.
So, as long as the Mughals bring more benefits than Orissa and other countries, will Qin still insist on helping Orissa and other small countries?
Hai Rufeng said solemnly, "Lord Huck should be clear. It's not that my Great Qin wants to be an enemy of your country, but that your country first invaded my Great Qin's vassal state. All my Great Qin's subordinates are my Great Qin's concubines, how can they allow others to be humiliated? β
Huck came with a request, so he could only say patiently: "When our Highness led the army to quell the chaos, Orissa and other countries were not yet the vassals of Qin, and if Orissa and other countries were Qin's vassals early on, we would not send troops to attack again."
Now, we have no intention of being an enemy of the Great Qin State. As for the four Orissa countries, we are also willing to recognize their status as vassals of Great Qin, and we hope that the two sides will stop fighting and truce their wars, and each will retreat to its original borders. Non-aggression in the future.
In addition, our Royal Highness the Fourth Prince admires Admiral Hai very much, and I really hope to make friends with Admiral Hai. And as long as the two sides stop fighting, there will be no conflict of interest between our country and your country. Can be friendly with each other.
We, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, are willing to persuade our Majesty to communicate with your country, and you can also give your country's businessmen a lot of preferential policies. I am even willing to hand over Chittagong, the mouth of the Ganges River, to your country. β
Hai Rufeng listened, smiled faintly, the estuary of the Ganges River is located at the top of the Bay of Bengal, Chittagong is in a very good location, nominally it still belongs to the territory of the Mughal Dynasty, but in fact it has long been handed over to the Dutch to operate, just like the original Macau, nominally it is still the territory of the Ming Empire, but it has been leased to others.
Aurangzeb is now somewhat generous to others, anyway, Chittagong was leased out early in the morning, and now it is rented to Qin as a favor, if it can be exchanged for a truce and a halt in Qin, it will naturally be too worthwhile, and the Mughals have nothing to lose at all.
Such a bargaining chip, of course, can't impress Hai Rufeng, but on the other hand, Daqin does not intend to include India in its own territory, at least at present, the war between the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands is still in full swing, and it is impossible for Daqin to attack India with all his strength at this time.
As for whether to colonize India in the future, I don't know, this qiΔ all depends on the meaning of the Son of Heaven in the Great Qin Palace in Nanjing.
For now, at least, Great Qin just wanted to balance the forces of all parties in India in order to better exert political influence. For the Mughal Dynasty, there is no intention of destroying it all at once.
What's more, Great Qin didn't want the four kingdoms such as Orissa and Ximeng to take advantage of the situation to expand their power, and these four Tibetan vassal states were now very obedient, but if they made themselves stronger, the devil knows if they would continue to be so obedient.
Although Hai Rufeng didn't know that this was something that Emperor Qin Mu promoted in the country, he knew that if it wasn't for the support or approval of Daqin, the Dzungars would never dare to rashly send tens of thousands of people into the Indus Valley, unless they didn't want the Yarkand region in southern Xinjiang.
There is another thing that can be confirmed that it is Daqin who supports the Dzungar Ministry behind it, that is, artillery and earth-shaking thunder. With that figured out, things became much clearer.
Because if you want to negotiate with the Mughals or Orrangzeb to be precise, the Dzungar invasion of the Indus Valley must be taken into account, which is also an important bargaining chip for yourself, and of course you can't let it go.
"Lord Huck, Admiral Ben would like to know if what you said was agreed by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, or by the Mughal Emperor of Delhi?"
Hai Rufeng's words broke the mystery, which made Huck a little embarrassed, and now there are some things that are really hard to say.
Hai Rufeng continued: "If there is no answer, how does Admiral Ben know that what Lord Huck promised Admiral Ben will be able to fulfill in the future?" β
"Admiral Hai, rest assured, what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince promised to Daqin will definitely be fulfilled in the future."
"As the saying goes, I've got a list here," Hai Rufeng said, writing with a pen in his hand, and Huck looked at it in amazement. After Hai Rufeng finished writing, he blew the ink with his mouth, handed the paper to Huck and said, "Lord Huck take it and take a look, if your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is really sincere, please sign it." β
"This"
When Huck brought back the terms written by Hai Rufeng, Aurangzeb was furious, and slashed the table with a knife, slashing a corner of the table.
"It's just too deceitful!"
Huck hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, please calm your anger, to be honest, Your Highness is only a dismissed prince now, if you can't become the emperor of the Mughals, it is meaningless for you to promise Hai Rufeng more conditions." If His Highness becomes the emperor, then what will he do at that time, isn't it His Highness's decision? Hai Rufeng is taking advantage of the fire to rob, His Royal Highness bear with it, stabilize him first, and wait for His Highness to ascend the throne. β
"Humph!" Aurangzeb still couldn't help but snort coldly.
But he also knew that at this moment, he was ready to send it. He hurriedly recruited several of his henchmen, and after a secret discussion in the big account, he personally took 10,000 cavalry, set off overnight, and rushed to the capital city of Delhi.
Covering an area of 11 square kilometres, the Mughal capital of Delhi is crisscrossed with narrow and curving streets, with shops and markets lining the streets, and a wide variety of goods, especially traditional handicrafts such as gem-encrusted gems and ivory carvings. Temples, mosques, etc. can be seen everywhere, and the northeast corner of the city is the Red Fort.
Majestic on the west bank of the Yamuna River, it is sandy. Jahan moved his capital to Delhi due to the death of his beloved wife Taj Mahal and moved his capital to Delhi in his former capital (Agra), which was modeled after the famous Agra Fort.
Construction began in 1638 and was completed in 1647, mobilizing the country's manpower and material resources, lasting nearly 10 years, costing 90 million rupees, making it the largest royal palace in India.
It is a splendid palace complex made of ochre sandstone, with an irregular octagonal shape, 915 meters long in the south, 548 meters wide from east to west, and 33.5 meters high. The castle is topped with small towers made of fine white marble and decorated with gold, diamonds and gemstones, with the addition of multi-colored mosaics, each of which is carefully worked into the grooves of the marble slabs and polished to make them smoother and brighter.
In addition, the castle has beautiful pavilions, balconies, and openwork marble windows. There are 5 doors in the whole fort, two large and three small, the main gate of the west side of the Lahore Gate is 12.05 meters high, and there are octagonal pointed round buildings and watchtowers built on the door.
All the inner sanctuaries of the Red Fort are made of marble and other precious stones. There are reliefs of floral figures on the walls of the pillars of the hall, and on the whole marble hollow window lattice, inlaid with various colored gems, brilliant.
The Pilgrimage Palace in the fort was the place where the former kings personally managed the government. This is a temple that is open on three sides, only the east wall has a colorful pattern with gem inlays, there is a niche in the center of the inner wall of the palace, in front of it is the king's marble throne, about 3 meters high, carved with relief carvings of flowers, birds, trees, etc., the carving is delicate.
At this time, it was the heyday of the Mughals, and it can be said that this palace is much more impressive than the Great Qin Palace in Nanjing, and the whole palace is full of gold, diamonds, and gemstone inlaid decorations, especially in the extravagance of Cheng DΓΉ.
On this night, the sand that had not slept at night due to the Dzungar invasion. Jahan is in an audience with the palace governor. Suddenly, he heard the palace people shouting in panic, he was furious, walked out of the palace gate to take a look, and was stunned for a moment, but heard a burst of shouts and killings from the main gate of the palace, the Lahore Gate, and the fire rushed up.
"ιxiΓ ! ιxiΓ ! Oh no, the crown prince launched a rebellion and entered the palace! The rebels have entered the palace."
"The crown prince? You mean the crown prince started a rebellion? β
"The rebels are shouting for His Majesty to give way to the crown prince"
