Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 882 Fighting the Mughals, Treaty of Mumbai

In the 17th year of Zhaowu, the Ming Empire had already unified East Asia.

Only Japan was left, and for some reason, it was not embraced by the Ming Empire.Therefore, the only strong neighbor around the Ming Empire is the Mughal.

Under such circumstances, the focus of Fusi's activities in the Jinyiwei North Township of the Ming Empire shifted to the Mughals.

According to the news fed back by Beizhen Fusi, after Aurangzeb issued the "ban order", riots broke out in many Mughal port cities such as Diu, Surat, Daman, Mumbai, and Yanan.

The reason for the most riots was that the Mughal local government operated violently during the implementation of the "banning order" and took the opportunity to swallow up the assets of the Ming merchants, which in turn caused the inventors to resist.Or, like Mumbai, the local people are lured to take the opportunity to rob and cause riots.

There were riots in a few cities, and there were traces of secret promotion by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British.

Although these three Western colonial powers had to withdraw from India because the Daming Navy dominated the Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean.But many Western businessmen, reluctant to part with their interests in India, still stay in many port cities.

And because they came decades or hundreds of years earlier than the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they had colluded with local nobles and officials, and even formed common interests, and their relationships were intricate.

Even some aristocrats married Westerners, with a fraction of Western blood.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult for Westerners to secretly confuse local Mughal officials and nobles by means of the "Ban Ming Order", causing riots and even massacring Ming people.

Therefore, after Aurangzeb's "Ban Ming Order" was issued, Ming suffered heavy losses in India, and the preliminary statistics of the victims numbered as many as thousands!
Since the Ming Empire stepped onto the overseas stage and successively defeated the Netherlands and Spain, this is the first time that so many civilians have died overseas.

How could Aimi Zhu not be angry?
It just so happened that the Western Mission led by Zheng Sen arrived in the Indian Ocean and assisted the Mumbai Chamber of Commerce in occupying Mumbai City with armed forces. Zhu Yuxi wanted to take this opportunity to teach the Mughals a lesson.

Slightly calming down her anger, Zhu Wei said to Lian Qiao who was serving at the side: "It is said that all the ministers of military aircraft are coming to the Hall of Martial Arts, I want to have a meeting!"

"Yes."

Half an hour later, the military aircraft meeting began.

Zhu Yuxi first told about Aurangzeb's "Forbidden Order", as well as the riots in many places in the Mughals, the heavy losses of the local Ming people, and the death of thousands of people.

In the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty can be said to have come to court from all nations, and all the ministers have cultivated the spirit of imperial courtiers.

In addition, a small number of ministerial families or relatives and friends also participated in overseas business and trade, and gained huge profits from it.

Therefore, after hearing these news, several ministers of military affairs, no matter whether they had public or selfish intentions, were very angry.

Ma Shiying wanted to speak first, but because of his old age, his reactions and movements were a little slow after all, and the second assistant Lu Daqi took the lead.

I only heard Lu Daqi say: "Your Majesty, this is the first time that thousands of people have been massacred in other countries since the Ming Dynasty dominated the sea. We must teach Mughal a lesson, otherwise the safety of our people in other countries in the Ming Dynasty will be difficult to guarantee in the future."

Ma Shiying took advantage of Lu Daqi's breath, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, now Mughal and other Indian countries are the largest overseas cotton producing areas in Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the countries of India are also my Ming's largest commodity dumping place in Asia.If the Mughal Emperor's "Forbidden Order" is ignored, it will definitely affect the economy of our Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, I thought that we should not only teach Mughal a lesson, but also let him revoke the "Ban Ming Order", and even open all ports to my Ming Dynasty to facilitate trade.

It is best to give me Daming on the coastal islands of the concession, like Japan.In this way, my Ming Dynasty has a garrison in India, and I am not afraid that similar things will happen again in India in the future. "

Ma Shiying was originally a smart person. He had served as a secondary assistant for more than ten years, and learned a lot of theories and knowledge from Aimee Zhu, so Aimee Zhu was quite satisfied with what he said, and she couldn't help nodding.

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, if you want to send troops to India, you can try to occupy the northwest corner of Mughal.

If it can be done, from now on, our Ming Dynasty will be like hanging a sharp sword over Mughal's head, and Mughal will never dare to implement policies that are harmful to our Ming Dynasty.

In addition, my Ming Dynasty can also use this place to further intimidate the Central Asian countries and make them obey. "

Aunt Zhu smiled and nodded, "Du Qing has a good eye, and I, Ming, really need to take the northwest corner of Mughal."

Hearing that Du Yinxi was praised by Aimee Zhu, several other military ministers also spoke positively...
Three days later, Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Dynasty sent a telegram to the Western Navy and Zheng Sen's mission to send troops to several port cities along the western coast of India to protect the lives and assets of the local Ming people.

At the same time, the Nanyang Navy and several frontier defense divisions were also ordered by the Military Affairs Council to send troops to several port cities in eastern India in the name of protecting the lives and property of local Ming people.

In the three provinces of Anxi, Qinghai, and Sichuan, there were also two divisions of frontier defense troops and four divisions of garrison troops, who were ordered to be transferred to the northwest of Uzbekistan, preparing to join the local frontier defense troops and garrison troops to attack the Mughal northwest.

The Mughals did not have telegraph communication technology, so when Aurangzeb learned that the Ming army had captured many coastal cities, it was almost a month later.

Aurangzeb won the throne by war, and he is quite talented in leading troops to fight.

Therefore, after learning that the Ming army had invaded the coast, he was not afraid, but furious.

Then he led an army of 20 to conquer the western coast.

Because the Ming army occupies the most port cities here and is the most concentrated, as long as the Ming army can be defeated here, it can play a decisive role in a battle, and the Ming army in other places only needs to send partial divisions to expel them.

Of course, this is what Aurangzeb and his think tank think after analysis.

In fact, as soon as Aurangzeb made the charter for dispatching troops, the news was learned by the Fusi spy in Jinyiwei North Township in Delhi.

After the Ming army got the news, they did not wait for Aurangzeb to attack in Mumbai and other cities, but gathered more than 5 navy and army troops, preparing to fight it on the banks of the Narmada River.

Zhaowu 17th year, November 23rd.

When Aurangzeb led the army to cross the middle section of the Narmada River, he was attacked by thousands of gunboats of the Daming Navy, and the 20 army was almost cut into two sections.

At the same time, more than 3 Ming troops on the south bank launched a fierce attack on the nearly [-] Mughal troops who had already crossed the river.

Although the [-] regular Mughal troops were quite elite, their weapons and equipment were still far behind the Ming army, and the quality of the soldiers was also significantly different. After holding on for more than an hour, the whole army was defeated!

Under the protection of gunboats, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cross the river and attacked the Mughal army on the north bank.

Although Aurangzeb personally supervised and commanded the battle, and the Mughal soldiers were quite brave, facing the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, they failed to reverse the situation after all.

Aurangzeb couldn't do anything when he saw things, and finally fled north in a hurry with more than 3 relatives around him.

Because the Mughal army opposed the cavalry, while the Ming army was dominated by infantry, there was no pursuit.

In this battle, the Ming army defeated nearly 20 Mughal troops, killed more than [-], and captured more than [-]!
Because the city closest to the battlefield was named "Indore", this battle was called "Minmonarmada River War" and "Indore Victory"!
Aurangzeb had just returned to Delhi when he learned that nearly [-] Ming troops had marched south from Uz-Tibet to attack the northwest of the empire.

By this time news of his defeat on the banks of the Narmada had spread in all directions.Because he succeeded to the throne for only two or three years, there were still rebels lurking in various places. Hearing this news, they all jumped out to make trouble.

Under such circumstances, Aurangzeb knew that he had no troops to transfer to the northwest to stop the Ming army.

Through the battle on the banks of the Narmada River, he also realized the gap in combat effectiveness between the Mughal army and the Ming army, and knew that even if he sent 20 troops northward, it might not be able to stop the Ming army.

India, on the other hand, has always been defeated and conquered by enemies heading south from the northwest.

Aurangzeb was deeply afraid that the Ming army would destroy the Mughals in one fell swoop, and he was helpless, so he could only send envoys to ask Ming for peace.

···
In the 18th year of Zhaowu, the first day of March.

The Ming Empire and the Mughals signed an armistice agreement in Bombay, known as the "Treaty of Bombay" in history.

The treaty has as many as 27 articles, so it is also called "27 articles of Mingmo Mumbai".
