Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    *** When he captured the city of Delhi, Aurangzeb not only successfully placed his father Shah Jahan under house arrest, but also captured his eldest brother, Crown Prince Dara Shuko.  ¡ñ¡Ð Dara Shuko is four years older than Aurangzeb and is only 34 years old this year.  He also served as the Governor of Punjab Province, just because he was the crown prince and did not have to go to the province to take up posts like other princes. Instead, his cronies took care of the Punjab Province.  He stayed in the court for a long time and was favored by his father.  But he had some serious personality flaws. He had a hot temper and arrogant behavior, which made him many enemies among the nobles.  It is said that he was too forthright and completely disregarded the advice of others.  In addition, his tolerant views on religious issues hampered his political interests, as some Aurangzeb-like orthodox Sunni Muslims viewed him as a heretic, among whom was Baqil Tai, who was  Because he could not understand the religious views of the crown prince Dara Shuko, he secretly defected to Aurangzeb.  The day after taking control of Delhi, Aurangzeb tied his brother Dara Shuko to the back of a dirty baby elephant and paraded him through the streets of Delhi, declaring his crimes of treason, religious heresy, etc., and then  Kill him quickly.  Because Dara Shuko had a hot temper and arrogant behavior, the nobles and ministers in Delhi showed little sympathy for his death.  But for Aurangzeb, his father Shah was placed under house arrest.  Just because Jahan and Dara Shuko killed his brother and took control of the city of Delhi does not mean that everything will be fine.  ¡°These only mean that he has temporarily won the throne of the Mughal Dynasty. As for whether he can secure this position, it depends on his skill next.  Among his brothers, there are two who have grown up. One is his second brother Shashuja, who is two years older than Aurangzeb and is currently the Governor of Bengal Province.  The other is his younger brother Murad Bach, who was six years old when Aurangzeb was younger.  The current Governor of Gujarat Province.  Both men had served in various military and administrative positions, had considerable experience in governing, and had large standing armies at their command.  And they have long been interested in the throne; now that Aurangzeb is seizing the throne by forcing the palace, will his second brother Shashuja and younger brother Murad Bah agree?  Although Shashuja had a mediocre personality, he was very brave and performed very well in governing Bengal Province.  But the biggest shortcoming is that he is also addicted to comfort and enjoyment; he also has another disadvantage, that is, he professes the Shiite faith, which arouses the dissatisfaction of the orthodox Sunnis in the court.  Murad Bach was also a brave man, but he was dissolute and drank too much.  He was also not welcomed by the ministers of the DPRK.  Compared with the remaining two brothers, in addition to his undoubted administrative talents, Aurangzeb is also the strictest type of Muslim and is fully trusted by the orthodox Sunni nobles of the empire; the orthodox Sunni nobles  It has been a very powerful force in the court since the time of Akbar.  After Aurangzeb took control of the city of Delhi, his decisive, calm and calculating character was fully revealed.  His first step was to win over these orthodox Sunni nobles and gain their support.  And he sent Alan Yar, the most capable officer in his army, to lead an army of 50,000 to immediately attack the Bengal province under the jurisdiction of his second brother. He also sent people to lobby his younger brother Murad Bah first.  Try to settle the situation without killing soldiers as much as possible.  At the same time, he concocted an abdication edict in the name of his father, to the effect that since Taj's death, he had no political control, which led to the defeat of the Southern Alliance.  Foreign enemies invaded from the north, and everyone was in ruins. However, the crown prince rebelled and attempted to kill his father and usurp the throne.  Now mentally and physically exhausted, he gave way to the prince Aurangzeb who had done great work in suppressing the rebellion.  In the name of the crown prince, Bakiratai entered the palace, including most people in Delhi.  Everyone thought it was really the crown prince Dara Shuko who was plotting rebellion, let alone the local officials.  So this abdication edict is still very deceptive.  At the same time, Aurangzeb made people quickly prepare for the enthronement ceremony. On the third day, he officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Delhi Palace. Next, naturally, there was a large-scale personnel appointment and dismissal; he transferred all the ministers who could not be trusted from important positions.  Then let people you trust hold all important positions.  For example, when he was the governor of the Deccan region, he had a very capable tax collector, Murshid Quli Khan, who was appointed as the finance minister of the empire.  There was a major reshuffle in the garrison in the capital, and many former generals were arrested on the spot and executed as associates of the crown prince Dara Shuko.  In this operation, Aurangzeb fully demonstrated his resolute and cold side. He was merciless and used iron and blood to quickly control the situation in Delhi.  Delhi was quickly controlled by him, but there were four imminent major issues facing Aurangzeb: FirstOne is his second brother, the second is his younger brother, the third is the four-nation coalition commanded by Hai Rufeng in the south; the fourth is the Junggar army that captured the Punjab region in the north.  From a geographical point of view, the Bengal province controlled by his second brother is located east of Delhi, and the Gujarat province controlled by his younger brother is located west-south of Delhi. Together with Hairufeng in the south and Sangh in the north, Delhi is surrounded on all sides.  trend.  In other words, although Aurangzeb has now occupied Delhi, he is in danger of being besieged on all sides.  Hai Rufeng in the south may be able to temporarily stabilize it with heavy profits. The most terrible thing is the Junggar army that has invaded the Punjab region in the north.  This 50,000-strong army attacked the city with overwhelming force, and it must be clear that Punjab is not an ordinary place. It is located in northern India. Emperor Babur of the Mughal Dynasty divided Punjab into three provinces, namely Lahore and Multan.  and Delhi.  Now the Junggar army has captured the two provinces of Lahore and Multan. The Sutlej River, a tributary of the Indus River, passes through these two provinces, with developed irrigation and most of the residents are Sikhs.  It is one of the richest agricultural states in India and is known as the 'Granary of India'.  Rich in wheat, rice and cotton.  ??And from Lahore to Delhi, it is flat and the distance is not far away. This is the most urgent and terrifying threat to Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor who has just ascended the throne.  At this time, Sengge was complacent about wiping out two wealthy provinces in succession. He also vigorously encouraged the local Sikhs to follow him in resisting the rule of the Mughal Dynasty.  The Sikhs were not called Sikhs until the late 15th century when the great Punjabi monk Nanak established the Sikh sect.  The Sikhs are a unique organized armed group that has been engaged in a long-term armed struggle with the Mughal dynasty and was suppressed as the Mughal dynasty grew stronger.  Sange took full advantage of the long-standing conflicts between the Sikhs and the Mughal dynasty, and instigated rebellion, and many Sikhs joined his army.  After hearing that there was a coup in Delhi, Sengge keenly sensed a fighter opportunity and immediately led an army of 40,000 troops and 3,000 Sikhs from Lahore to attack Delhi.  Hearing this news, Aurangzeb did not dare to neglect. He was not in the right position. No matter how beautifully he did it, some people would inevitably doubt him.  In order to deal with the most ferocious foreign enemies and consolidate his throne, he secretly hijacked his father in the army. At the same time, he took some important ministers and mobilized an army of 40,000 to personally attack Sengge.  At this time, the 50,000-strong army led by Akbar, another general of the Mughal Dynasty, was already engaged in a fierce battle in the city of Gurnar between Delhi and Lahore.  The coup in Delhi almost caused the collapse of the 50,000-strong army. Fortunately, Aurangzeb acted quickly, quickly seized power and ascended the throne, and heavily rewarded Akbar. The army in front was still unsure of the situation in Delhi. Aurangzeb had already  As the new emperor, he led his army to conquer the country in person.  By the time Aurangzeb arrived at Gurnar City, he had a total army of 90,000. The new emperor personally conquered the army, and the strength of the people greatly boosted the morale of the Mughal army.  The Sengge stationed in the north of Gurnar City is also unambiguous. Forty thousand Dzungarian troops, plus thousands of Sikh soldiers and horses, have been camped for ten miles, and his thirty cannons have been pulled up. They are in the north of the city overnight.  Setting up artillery, a huge bloody battle will inevitably begin under the city of Gernar.  If Aurangzeb is defeated, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire India. So, what will be the outcome of this battle?  **************************** ps: I¡¯m having a hard time, I sincerely ask you to subscribe, it¡¯s only a few cents per chapter, please give me some points if you read it  Living expenses ~ .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
