India has a long history, but it rarely forms a unified dynasty like China.

In India's long history, the South Asian subcontinent has been in a state of division and separatism for a long time. Even the more famous Mauryan, Gupta, and Mughal Empire in history have not truly completed unification.

More than a hundred years ago, after the collapse of the Timur Khanate, its royal descendant Babur led his army to invade the South Asian subcontinent and established the Mughal Empire. In the era of the third emperor Akba, it entered its heyday, and together with the Ottoman Türkiye and the Sassanid dynasty, it became the three most powerful empires in the world.

However, with the rise of the West, the entire world seemed to have agreed that these three empires were all going to decline together at the same time.

The Mughal Empire began to enter a period of recession due to Shah Jahan's construction and the national efforts were spent on building the Taj Mahal. In addition, the heavy taxes and prominent religious problems were found.

Today, the Mughal emperor is Aurangzeb, the son of Shah Jahan. He ascended the throne in 1657 and became the seventh monarch of the Mughals.

After Aurangzeb became the Mughal Emperor, he did not solve the increasingly serious internal problems of the Mughal Empire during the period of his father Shajahan. Instead, he began to become more and more powerful and continued to expand the Mughal territory.

In recent years, the ambitious Aurangzeb has expanded the empire territory to Afghanistan and Bangladesh, and has also forced the Turkish states at the southern end of the Deccan Plateau to surrender.

The military victory temporarily covered up the problems within the empire and gradually stabilized Aurangzeb's position, suppressing his incorrect voice.

By the Ganges, Delhi City.

After Aurangzeb ascended the throne in Delhi, he had been living in Delhi and did not go to Agra, the capital of Shahjahan's era.

In the palace, Emperor Aurangzebu walked around the palace and was quite irritated.

The empire was in a prosperous era on the surface, but the internal problems were actually a little uncontrollable.

His father spent more than twenty years building the Taj Mahal and spent all the savings of the empire. In order to maintain the operation of the empire, he could only impose a poll tax on non-***s.

Although this temporarily made up for the emptiness of the treasury, it made the untouchable and also aggravated the dissatisfaction of the Hindus. The Tedu Gang on the Deccan Plateau was dissatisfied with the empire, and the Sikhs were quite dissatisfied with him.

This made Aurangzeb very upset. The minister next to him suggested: "It is better to start a war than to start a war, which can not only divert the contradictions, but also shock the opposition after victory."

The Mughals were a country established by the Turkic Mongols. They had some characteristics of the Mongolian regime, that is, once the Khan died in the previous generation, the empire would easily fall apart or fall into a civil war in which the Khan throne was fought.

Aurangzeb was not the orthodox heir of the Mughals. He defeated three brothers in the uprising and imprisoned his father before becoming the Mughal emperor.

This made Aurangzeb face many doubts after ascending the throne, and his method was to prove himself through war.

"This idea is good!" Aurangzebu nodded, "Some time ago, the Yarkands saw the imperial army, but they did not retreat and dared to launch an attack. They really didn't take me seriously!"

"The Great Khan, Yarkand, now seems to have been occupied by the Ming people. Their prime minister sent letters of state several times to condemn us to occupy their land!" Military Minister Damur said: "And warned us not to provoke troubles on the border, otherwise the consequences would be borne by oneself. The Great Khan of Timur gave up his attack on the Ming people because of the strength of the Ming people. Now, judging from the results of the previous conflict, the Ming people's combat power is indeed good. I think it's better to fight Bangladesh!"

"Entering their land? Chahatai is obviously the territory of Ben Khan!" Aurangzebu was angry, "Whether it was Ming people or Yarkand, they dared to threaten Mughals. They really didn't know that the world was high. The last time they lost was just a lack of troops. The Ming people's warning was just a bluffing delaying strategy, which could not be concealed by Ben Khan. Now Ben Khan is no longer the same as before. Mughals are also the most powerful country, and the Ming people are nothing. Ben Khan decided to attack Yarkand!"

The founder of Mughals was a descendant of Temuer, and his matriarch was from the Chahatai Khanate.

Although a hundred years have passed, after entering India, the Turkic Mongols such as Aurangzeb merged with the descendants of the white Aryans of the high castes of India, and their characteristics have become Indianized, Aurangzeb still believes that the Chaha-Taiwan Khanate is also his territory.

The original intention of Dhamur was to conquer the Bangladesh region, which was a plain where the three rivers gathered. The land was very fertile and easy to fight. Unexpectedly, Aurangzeb was resentful of the failure of the Mughal army in the north a year ago.

When Aurangzeb was talking to the minister about Yarkand, he did not expect that Wu Sangui had come to the door with his army.

The food in Yarkand was only enough for two months. After Wu Sangui arrived in Luntai, after Sun Kewang's encouragement, he immediately decided to invade India.

The Zhou army moved quickly and soon as they assembled 20,000 cavalry in Shache. However, the army did not go south, but went out of the Pamir Mountains first, entered Yuzi territory, and marched south from the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains to enter India.

This is Sun Kewang's choice after research.

The terrain of India is the same as that of China, and it is relatively closed.

To the east, south, and to the south is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the invasion of foreign races can only attack from the north. After the Han people understood this, they built Great Walls and Passes on the passages where the foreign races went south to prevent the invasion of foreign races.

India has the sea on the east, west and south sides, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the north. The only connection with the outside world is the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Speaking of which, India is easier to defend than China, but for some reason, the Indians do not seem to have the awareness to defend this strategic location.

Historically, whether it was the Western Aryans, Greeks, Persians and Arabs of the Middle East, or the Turks who were driven away, the Great Yuezhi, they all entered India from this mountain pass.

This time, the Zhou army's goal was to plunder supplies from India, so Sun Kewang suggested taking this relatively easy path.

At this time, 20,000 cavalrymen of Zhou were walking in the desolate mountains. The road was surrounded by bare red hills, and the terrain was very steep.

Wu Sangui rode a war horse, and the 20,000 Zhou troops behind him were winding forward. The generals raised their heads from time to time and looked around, worried that a group of people would suddenly appear.

"This place is so damn dangerous! It can be said that one man should be a barrier of ten thousand men!" Xia Guo Prime Minister was secretly shocked, "The left prime minister asked us to go this road. What if someone ambushed or blocked it?"

Sun Kewang rode on the war horse and smiled and said, "General Xia, don't worry, I asked the merchants to check it out, but Mughals did not garrison here."

Wu Sangui looked at the sides of the valley, and his body was not as strong as the Jiange in Yushu. His heart suddenly became very proud and raised his whip and sighed: "There is such a place with such a prosperous shape, and it was destroyed by foreign races several times. Isn't all the races all mediocre?"
