Chapter 882: Battle with Mughals, Mumbai Treaty

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, there is only one Mughal who can be called a strong neighbor around the Ming Empire.

Under this situation, the focus of the activities of the Jinyiwei Beizhenfusi of the Ming Empire shifted to Mughals.

According to the news feedback from the Northern Punishment Department, after Aurangze issued a "ban order", riots occurred in many Mughal port cities such as Diu, Surat, Daman, Mumbai, and Yanan.

The reason for the most riots is that the local government in Mughals violently operated when implementing the "ban order", taking the opportunity to swallow up Ming Shang's assets, which in turn caused the inventor's resistance. Or, like Mumbai, it lured local people to take the opportunity to rob, causing riots.

.

The riots in a few cities, as well as the secret push by the Portuguese, the Netherlands, and the British.

Although these three Western colonial powers had to evacuate from India because the Ming Navy dominated the South and Indian Oceans. However, many Western merchants were reluctant to leave their interests in India and still stayed in multiple port cities.

Also, because they came decades earlier than the Ming merchants and hundreds of years ago, they had colluded with local nobles and officials, and even formed common interests, and their relationship was mixed.

Even some nobles marry Westerners, with one-something of Western blood.

In this case, it is not difficult for Westerners to secretly bewitch local officials and nobles in Mughals through the "prohibition of open orders", causing riots and even killing Ming people.

Therefore, after Aurangzeb issued a "ban order", the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses in India, and the preliminary statistics of the people who died were as many as thousands!

Since the Ming Empire took to the Shanghai stage and defeated the Netherlands and Spain, it was the first time that so many people have died overseas.

How could this not make Zhu Miu angry?

It happened that the Western mission led by Zheng Sen arrived in the Indian Ocean and assisted the Mumbai Chamber of Commerce in occupying the city of Mumbai. Zhu Xi wanted to take this opportunity to teach Mughals a lesson.

After calming down his anger a little, Zhu Ma said to Lian Qiao, who was serving on the side: "It is said that all military ministers come to Wuying Palace, I want to hold a meeting!"

"yes."

Half an hour later, the military opportunity meeting began.

Zhu Mai first issued a "ban order" to Aurangze, and riots in many Mughals, and the local Ming people suffered heavy losses and killed thousands of people.

In the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty can be said to have come to the court for all countries, and all the ministers have also cultivated the spirit of imperial ministers.

In addition, a few ministers' families or relatives and friends also participated in overseas trade and made huge profits from it.

Therefore, after hearing these news, several military ministers were very angry, both with public intentions and selfish intentions.

Ma Shiying wanted to speak first, but because of her age, her reaction and movements were slower, so she let the second assistant Lu Daqi take the lead.

I heard Lu Daqi say: "Your Majesty, I am the Ming Dynasty dominates the ocean. It is the first time that thousands of people have been killed in other countries. Mughals must be taught a lesson, otherwise the safety of the people in other countries will be difficult to guarantee in the future."

Ma Shiying took advantage of the break of Lu Daqi's breath and quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, now Mughal and other Indian countries are the largest overseas cotton production areas in our Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the Indian countries are also the largest commodity dumping place for our Ming Dynasty in Asia. If the Mughal Emperor ignored the "ban" order, it will definitely affect the economy of our Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, I think not only should I teach the Mughal a lesson, but I also need to revoke the "ban order" and even open all ports to our Ming Dynasty to provide convenience for trade.

It is best to give me the coastal islands along the concession like Japan. In this way, my Ming Dynasty will have a place to garrison in India, so I will not be afraid of similar things happening in India in the future.”

Ma Shiying was originally a smart person. He had served as the second-level assistant for more than ten years and had learned a lot of later theories and knowledge from Zhu Ma, so these words made Zhu Ma quite satisfied and he couldn't help but nod.

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

If it can be successful, our Ming Dynasty will be like hanging a sharp sword above Mughal's head in the future. Mughal will not dare to implement policies that will harm our Ming Dynasty.

In addition, our Ming Dynasty can use this place to further deter Central Asian countries and make the guests of all countries subdued."

Zhu Meiyu smiled and nodded, "Duqing has a good vision, I am very clear that I really need to cut off a corner of the northwest of Mughals."

Hearing that Du Yinxi received praise from Zhu Mai, several other military ministers also spoke actively...

Three days later, Zhu Mai, the Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Empire, issued a telegram to the Western Navy and Zheng Sen's mission, asking them 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 many border defense divisions were also transferred by the Military Council to send troops to several port cities in eastern India in the name of protecting the lives and property of local wise people.

In Anxi, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces, there are also two border guards and four garrison troops. They are ordered to be transferred to the northwest of Uszang, preparing to join the local border guards and garrison troops and attack the northwest of Mughals.

Mughals did not have telecommunications technology, so it was almost a month after Aurangzeb learned that the Ming army had captured several coastal cities.

Aurangzeb obtained the throne through war and was quite talented in leading troops and fighting.

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

Then he led an army of 200,000 to personally conquer the western coast.

Because the Ming army occupied the most and concentrated port cities here, as long as they could defeat the Ming army here, they could play a role in deciding the world in one battle. The Ming army in other places only needed to send partial troops to expel them.

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

In fact, as soon as Aurangzeb made a military order, the news was discovered by the spy detectives from the Jinyiwei North Punishment Division in Delhi.

After the Ming army obtained this news, they did not wait for Aurangzeb to attack in cities such as Mumbai, but gathered more than 50,000 water and land troops to prepare for a decisive battle with them on the banks of the Nermada River.

November 23, 17th year of Zhaowu.

When Aorangzeb led his army to cross the river in the middle of the Nermada River, he attacked thousands of gunboats by the Ming Navy, and the 200,000 troops were almost intercepted into two sections.

At the same time, more than 30,000 Ming troops on the south bank launched a fierce attack on nearly 100,000 Mughal troops that had crossed the river.

Although the 100,000 Mughal regular army was quite elite, their weapons and equipment were far from the Ming army, and the quality of soldiers was also significantly different. After only one hour of persistence, the entire 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 the battle and commanded the Mughal soldiers, they were also quite brave. Faced with the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, they were unable to reverse the situation.

Seeing that things were unsuccessful, Aurangzebu finally fled north in a hurry with more than 30,000 personal troops around him.

Because the Mughal army faced cavalry, while the Ming army was mainly infantry, there was no pursuit.

In this battle, the Ming army defeated nearly 200,000 Mughal troops, killed more than 50,000, and captured more than 30,000!

Because the city closest to the battlefield is called "Indor", this battle is called "Minmonalmurmada River Battle" and "Indor's victory"!

As soon as Aurangzeb returned to Delhi, he learned that nearly 100,000 Ming troops had marched south from Us Tibet to attack the northwest of the empire.

At this time, the news of his defeat on the banks of the Nermada River had spread to all directions. Because he had only two or three years of succession, rebels were still lurking everywhere. After hearing this news, they all jumped out to cause trouble.

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

Through the Battle of the Narmada River, he also realized the difference in combat effectiveness between the Mughal army and the Ming army, and knew that even if he sent 200,000 troops north, he might not be able to stop the Ming army.

India has always been defeated and conquered by enemies heading northwest and south.

Aurangzeb was deeply afraid that the Ming army would destroy the Mughals in one fell swoop, and was powerless, so he could only send an envoy to seek peace from the Ming Dynasty.

···

On the first day of March, the 18th year of Zhaowu.

The Ming Empire and the Mughals signed a ceasefire agreement in Mumbai, known in history as the Treaty of Mumbai.

The treaty has as many as twenty-seven articles, so it is also called "Mimumbai Twenty-seven Articles".
