Chapter 415 The Weeping Goddess

Azim is not interested in the future of the empire!

He only knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity, he would have no future. His brother had already killed the fourth brother and cleared him an important competitor. Then he used his father's name to kill his brother in one fell swoop with Yang Feng's help, and he would get the throne. At that time, he would learn from his grandfather and find a palace to put his father under house arrest and officially ascend the throne. As for the benefits to Yang Feng, this is not worth mentioning.

Is the throne important or not?

Immediately afterwards, he led the fourth sons to the generals to complain about his brother's cruelty, so the latter immediately became indignant and expressed that he would fight against the rebels with His Highness the Prince!

Of course, it was mainly because they knew that the Ming army would participate in the war.

The Mughal generals who had just been beaten up by the Ming army certainly knew that with Yang Feng, Azim, would win. Since that's the case, who wouldn't fight to be the minister of the dragon? Then a 20,000 most elite cavalry was selected, commanded by the most brave general, and then concentrated the war horses to transfer three war horses to the west. Under the leadership of Azim, the inland transport ships loaded with the sixth and seventh infantry brigades of the Ming army also went up the Ganges under the guard of the gunboats of the First Fleet of the Inland River, and marched towards Delhi in a mighty manner.

As for Bahadur Sha…

He was sick from anger, of course it was hard to say which son he was sick from anger. Anyway, he was really sick. According to the imperial doctors accompanying Emperor Yang, he had a stroke.

Of course, this is known without diagnosis.

Anyway, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, who was nearly 70 years old, suddenly collapsed on the night when his third son led his army to attack his eldest son. He was shaking on the bed and could not even speak, and could not even take care of himself. The only thing he could do was to tremble with one hand and make all kinds of strange sounds. A trusted minister who had been following him for many years spent an hour interpreting it, and finally said with a solemn expression that His Majesty's decree was temporarily regent by the third prince.

Well, this wise decision was immediately supported by civil and military ministers.

Then the trusted minister quickly caught up with the third prince who had set out and conveyed to him the emperor's will, so that Azim could finally continue his great journey into Delhi under the name of regent.

The army of rebellion was advancing at a speed of 200 miles a day, and the wind was surrendered everywhere. In fact, officials from all over the country didn't understand what was going on. Why was the emperor's army suddenly defeated, why was the emperor suddenly captured, why was the emperor suddenly dead, why was the new emperor ascended the throne, why was the emperor suddenly not dead and ordered to rebellion, why was the third prince suddenly regent? In short, the pace was too fast, so fast that it was dazzling. Since this was the case, let's take a look first!

It is always much better to do nothing than to push the wrong treasure.

And the same governors and local princes who control the army...

Uh, they are happy with this kind of thing!

The internal strife of the Mughal royal family is in the interests of everyone except the royal family. When the governors heard that the princes were preparing for a bloody battle, they were so happy that they set off fireworks. They were not afraid that the two of them would kill each other and blood flowed into a river. They all provided meticulous cooperation with the army of rebellion. In addition to the excuse that the situation was unknown and did not join, the rebellion army had all the supplies needed to open up all the supplies, and even some diligent people also caught laborers to repair bridges and roads so that they could arrive in Delhi as soon as possible to break up their flesh and blood.

In short, this kind of thing is welcome.

But although Azim was fast, another army that was running parallel with him was faster. After all, his men and horses needed rest and could not keep running. However, as long as the Ming army's fleet had coal and oil, they could move forward day and night. Although the speed of going up against the current was slow, it was still easy to run 300 miles per day on average. That is, there was a lack of fuel replenishment along the way. However, these inland warships were all kerosene mixed boilers, and their endurance was about 3,000 miles. In fact, there was no need to replenish them before running to Agra. As for the return journey, it was enough to float down the Ganges.

This huge fleet had surpassed Azim's army before it even arrived in Patna.

Governor Bihar, one of the powerful ministers in history, was also captured by the Ming army on the battlefield. This time he returned with the fleet, so in Batna, he summoned his troops to fill the Ming army with the fastest speed and in the shortest time, and personally sent the army forward. In less than three days later, the fleet arrived in Allahabad. After a prince who accompanied him showed the edict of Bahadur Sha to the Governor of Allahabad, the loyal governor, another Said among the Said brothers, immediately welcomed the Ming fleet with salutes like his brothers, and opened the city gate to invite the Ming army to rest.

As for supplies, it's not worth mentioning.

He even collected hundreds of tons of coal for the Ming fleet, although it was not much, it was quite valuable.

Then the Ming army set off from Allahabad and continued to go west, leaving the Ganges and entering the Yamuna River that leads directly to Delhi. After only two days, they reached the intersection of the Chambal River and the Yamuna River. At this time, it was less than three hundred miles away from Agra, but they also encountered some minor trouble. Governor Agra actually abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, which means that Governor Agra announced that he was loyal to Prince Azim.

"I don't know, we don't know!"

Liu Kun said without hesitation.

"Order the fleet to move forward at full speed and must arrive in Agra tonight!"

Then he said again.

Well, the Ming army didn't know that Governor Agra had abandoned the darkness and transparency.

So this huge fleet accelerated its speed into the suddenly narrowing Yamuna River, leaving behind large troop transport ships that could no longer continue to move forward. Only the Chuanjiang gunboats and small troop transport ships continued to advance along the river less than forty feet wide. At this time, the Yamuna River slowed down, and the fleet that was advancing at full speed easily ran to more than thirty miles per hour. From here to Agra, it was only more than 300 miles away. At midnight that day, the fleet arrived at Agra.

At this time, Governor Agra was unprepared.

First, he never thought that the Ming army would come to fight Agra. In fact, he had prepared the salute to warmly welcome the fleet tomorrow afternoon. Second, he never thought that the Ming army would be so fast. It was indeed a bit beyond imagination to run nearly 200,000 meters in fifteen hours. So when hundreds of Ming army cannons were filled with du air bombs and blasted Agra Red Fort, the governor was still hugging his favorite concubine and dreaming!

Then he waited for a nightmare.

On the curved Yamuna River, fifty Sichuan gunboats lined up, all of which were aimed at the Red Fort, which was only four miles away. The muzzles kept spraying out with blazing flames. The air cannonballs roared across the sky, and then fell into the castle and turned into a terrifying yellow-green poisonous fog. The flames of the muzzles reflected the night sky red, reflecting the beautiful masterpiece on the river bank ahead, representing the great building of the prosperous period of the Mughal Empire and the magnificent palace that was praised by later generations.

Taj Mahal.

“It’s so beautiful!”

Liang Kai, the commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the Ming Army, stood on the soft beach, looking at the Taj Mahal, which was so close to him, and said in a very complicated tone. The miracle of this marble architectural wonder was as exquisite as a high-end porcelain under the light of the Ming Dynasty. Although he grew up in Nanjing and had a high vision, he still had to sincerely sigh for this miraculous building.

Thinking about its next fate, it is even more amazing.

Because behind him, transport ships full of soldiers were docking, a large number of fully armed Ming soldiers were landing and rushing towards the palace. The Mughal soldiers guarding the Taj Mahal rushed out in a hurry to fight the invaders, but unfortunately they were knocked down by dense bullets and soon dispersed like ducks.

This place is not a fortress, it is just a guardian. The one who really guards here is the elite army of Governor Agra in the Red Fort, but unfortunately the entire Red Fort was almost swallowed up by chlorine, and they would never be able to come out to perform their duties. The poor Taj Mahal was like a stripped-up goddess at this time, revealing her pure white and flawless body. In the firelight of the cannonballs and the shouts of the Ming army's attack, silently crying in the wind, waiting for the invaders' flesh torture.

Soon as the last group of loyal guards fell into the pool of blood, the unimpeded Ming army rushed into the Taj Mahal like a torrent.

"Hak, it's up to you!"

Standing by the iconic pool in front of the Taj Mahal and admiring her delicate face, Liang Kai patted a humble Ah San next to him and said.

"Sir, please rest assured, no one is more familiar with this place than villains."

The former Mughal officer who guarded the Taj Mahal and later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in Bengal, and now the colonel of the Kingdom of Bengal Defense Army, said proudly, patted his chest.

"Remember, take away everything you can, and don't leave anything for them!"

Liang Kai said with satisfaction.

"If you do this, I will apply for naturalization for you. From now on, you will become a first-class citizen of our Ming Empire!"

Then he added.

The first-class citizens of the Ming Dynasty were Han people. They enjoyed countless privileges in the vassal state. Even the officials and generals of the Bangladesh people were only citizens of the vassal state, or second-class citizens, which were more powerful than slaves. It can be said that becoming first-class citizens was their ultimate dream. After receiving this promise, Hak was like a dog with bones, leading the surging Ming soldiers directly into the palace of the Taj Mahal. Soon his shouts rang out in the palace.

"Take this away!"

"Take this away."

"Here, the explosives explode directly!"
