Chapter 764 Kangxi is not afraid, this is India after all!

India, a magical place, certainly has magical terrain!

If we don’t consider the oceans on the east, west and south sides, and just talk about the north, northwest and northeast, then it is simply surrounded by natural dangers and is impregnable!

Directly north of India are guarded by the Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains, which are so high! And to the north of these two mountains is still a snowy plateau with overlapping mountains. You will be out of breath if you walk on it, let alone climb over the mountains.

Entering Tianzhu... In the early years when the weather was warm, there were more people on the snowy plateau, and there was a big Tubo, and we could enter Tianzhu from time to time. However, this has not happened since the weather became cooler.

.

Northeastern India, Myanmar, and the border areas of Arakan also have natural dangers of mountains. Moreover, the terrain in that area is not only dangerous, but it is also a place of miasma. If you do not take the waterway of the Bay of Bengal, but go over the mountains and ridges to enter India, the disease alone will be

It can kill 70% or more of the intruders. How can the remaining people be in the mood to invade?

In the northwest of India, God finally left a gap called the Khyber Pass. The so-called pass is actually a valley area between the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Pamir Plateau, called Khyber (Kabul).

) Valley. The valley runs from northwest to southeast, with a total length of more than a hundred miles, and the narrowest point is just over a mile. Moreover, both sides of the valley are hillsides of moderate height, making it very easy to deploy defenses.

In addition, the place where the Khyber Valley is located is not a remote and sterile country. To the west of the valley is Kabul... In later generations, it was a less developed city, but in the long history, Kabul was

They are all more prosperous than London, Paris, and New York at the same time!

To the east of the Khyber Valley is the Gandhara Basin, which is the base camp of the Gandhara kingdom famous for its Greco-Buddhist art. Its richness is evident.

In the 17th century, although the Gandhara Kingdom had long since disappeared, thanks to the India-Central Asia trade route and the agriculture of the Gandhara Basin, the Gandhara Basin was still very fertile, and there was also a prosperous kingdom here.

The degree is at least equivalent to the large city of Peshawar, a second-tier European city.

Moreover, the city of Peshawar is very close to the Khyber Pass and is almost blocked outside the Khyber Pass. It can completely become part of the defense system of the Khyber Pass and provide strong logistical support to the troops stationed at the Khyber Pass.

.

So... After learning that Aurangzeb had spent a lot of money to invite reinforcements from the three vassals from Burma, Kangxi Khan really couldn't sit still. Although the leaders of Bukhara, Khiva, and Afghanistan

The local chiefs patted their chests and assured him that it would be absolutely fine to wait until the autumn weather was clear before marching. However, he refused to wait any longer. He just kept urging his subordinates to prepare for the march quickly. He also said that soldiers are valuable and quick...

.... These words made a group of "printing activists" in Central Asia and Afghanistan dumbfounded.

There is no concept of "super speed" here in India!

How can it be "super fast"?

As for the Indians building castles and fortifications in the Khyber Valley under the scorching sun, in the eyes of those "Zhiyin Printing" guys, it's just the Khan's imagination... What's wrong with the Indians?

Maybe build a city wall at the Khyber Pass? It hasn’t been built for two or three thousand years. People have invaded me countless times and they haven’t built it yet. Will they build it now?

However, under the endless urging of Kangxi Khan, the terrain returned to the Eight Banners, and the Bukhara, Khiva, and Afghan people had no choice but to pack their bags and leave the cool Kabul. Under the scorching sun, they entered Kaibul listlessly.

Burr Pass.

As soon as he entered the Khyber Valley, Kangxi Khan, who was already listless due to the sun, suddenly became alert.

Because he found that the terrain of the Khyber Mountain Valley was very suitable for setting up an ambush... because most of the hills on both sides of the valley were not high, mostly twenty to thirty feet in height, and they were not too steep. It was completely possible to rush down from the top.

.And there are many small valleys on both sides of the river valley, which can hide troops. In addition, although the Khyber Valley is a very important transportation artery, no one has built official roads for thousands of years. Although the mountain passes

The width was not small, but there was no good road to walk on. Kangxi's army could not advance in a wide column and could only form a relatively slender column.

If there were ambushes on the hillsides on both sides of the river valley, then Kangxi Khan would be in big trouble!

Kangxi became a little nervous when he thought of this, and his brows gradually knitted together.

At this moment, at the front of the team, there were already many horsemen rushing back and forth, constantly bringing over the progress of the forward troops and the situation of the Mughal defenders in India.

"Great Khan, General Fei's troops have passed the narrowest part of the river valley and have fortified themselves on the hills on both sides. The army can pass safely!"

"Great Khan, there is still no sign of sending troops from Peshawar today. They just closed the city gate tightly, and there is no sign of any activity of the Hindustan Army outside the city!"

The Hindustan Empire is the official name of the Mughal Empire in India. Mughals or Mughals are what others call them, and they are also a bit contemptuous...probably on the surface, you, the descendants of Timur.

He is not an Indian Asan at all, but a Mongolian barbarian!

Therefore, most of Aurangzeb's enemies called his country Mughal or Mughal (homophone), but Kangxi was an exception. Because he claimed to be the Great Khan of Mongolia and the Mughal Khan... he admitted it openly

I am a Mongolian barbarian!

Therefore, when his army marched towards India, they no longer called their opponents "Mughals"...otherwise it would be Mughals fighting Mughals!

Kangxi Khan now calls Aurangzeb's people the Hindustan Army.

After hearing the report, Kangxi Khan just frowned: "Kyber is not protected by nature...but he is setting up defenses in Peshawar. What is Aurangzeb planning?"

Next to Kangxi Khan was an Afghan man with a white cloth headband and a gray beard named Khan. The grandfather of Khatak was a learned and talented imam who could understand what Kangxi was speaking in Mongolian and immediately answered with a smile.

Crossing the topic, he said: "Great Khan, Aurangzeb doesn't know how to make an abacus."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah," Kangxi Khan said with a smile, "Grandmaster of Kathak, that's not what I meant... What I meant was whether Aurangzeb had

What conspiracy?"

This Tianfang sect leader is a great scholar in Afghanistan, proficient in multiple languages, a poet, and Aurangzeb’s mortal enemy. He spends his days thinking about freeing Afghanistan from the rule of the Hindustan Empire...and then go

"Print"!

However, Amir Khan under Aurangzeb still had a few tricks up his sleeve. He bribed all the Afghan chiefs by issuing subsidies. At the same time, he also used methods of sowing discord to make various Afghan ministries fight each other. So the old man

No matter how hard you appealed, it was in vain until Kangxi Khan’s army entered Kabul!

Although Kangxi Khan is not a Tianfang believer, Afghans these days are not so stubborn, and "printing" is the top priority! The last time it was Aurangzeb's grandfather who led them to "print"!

How many years have passed, and Afghans are almost going crazy if they want to "print", but there is no capable leader to lead everyone to do it! Now, finally, a "real Mongolian Khan" has come, and everyone is just

I don’t care about his beliefs... No matter what, let’s grab it first!

Therefore, this old Khan Khatak, who had high prestige in Kabul and Peshawar, took the lead in joining Kangxi Khan's "printing team" and became a bachelor of Wenhua Palace!

Hearing Kangxi Khan's question, the great scholar of Kathak stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Great Khan, you don't need to worry... because this is India after all, and any conspiracy of Aurangzeb will not work.

It will become empty talk for one reason or another. Your army can march straight into the city of Peshawar. The garrison of Peshawar is Singh who believes in Hinduism, and his troops are all Rajputs...

.They all believe in Hinduism and are incompatible with Aurangzeb, who believes in Devabha religion. If you trust me, I can go into the city to persuade Singh to surrender."

"Is he willing to surrender?" Kangxi thought for a while, "What conditions are needed?"
