Introduction
Some people say that Indian history is a conquered history, and this statement is not unfair at all. India was conquered by the Indo-European Aryans more than 3,000 years ago, and was forced to implement a system of racial oppression to this day. Later, India was invaded and conquered countless times by the Greeks, the Great Yuezhi, the Persians, the Turks, and the Afghans. By the 13th century, when Mongolia established a great empire that almost covered the entire Asian continent, there was no India for a while.
This is not that the Mongolian cavalry cannot conquer India, it is just one reason. India is too hot. The Mongolian from the Mongolian Plateau cannot bear it.
However, the descendants of the Mongolian conquerors in Central Asia established a Mughal dynasty in Indian history hundreds of years later. This "Mughal" is Turkic , which means " Mongolian Empire ".
The founder of the Mughal dynasty was Babir, the descendant of the terrible ruler in Central Asian history, Timur's father was a nobleman of Turkic , but he insisted that his maternal line was a woman of Genghis Khan " Golden Family ".
These are all claimed by Timur himself to the outside world and have never been verified. Perhaps the reputation of the Mongol Empire is too shocking and glorious, so the rulers of later generations in Central Asia like to join their genealogy to the Genghis Khan family.
Since Timur is the "descendant" of Genghis Khan, his descendants can of course inherit this glorious title. Therefore, the empire established by Babir to conquer India can certainly be called the "Mongol Empire", although in terms of nationality, culture, and religion, Mughals can no longer see a trace of the horse-backed nation.
The Mughal Dynasty was in the fifth emperor Shah Jahan's period, and his national strength was weak. One of the reasons was that Shah Jahan was too extravagant. In order to build a luxurious tomb for his favorite concubine Taj, he almost exhausted his financial resources. This is the symbol of India today - Taj Mahal .
Shah Jahan has several princes, and the third son, Aorang Zebu, is the most ambitious. Aorangzebu has been good at fighting since he was a child, and has led his army to conquer the Persians and the Uzbeks in the north many times, and is full of strategy.
Aolangzebu has always been jealous of Dalasiko, the eldest brother named crown prince. Dalasiko is weak in character and does not like to fight and kill, but because of his kindness, he has been supported by the people of the court and the opposition.
Aorang Zebu has always despised his brother for his cowardice and is unwilling to bow to him. In 1657, the old father was seriously ill and was about to pass the throne on his brother. Aolangzebu carried out a conspiracy to steal the power of the state, and then launched a court coup, arrested the prince, and tied him to a filthy little elephant, wandering around, humiliating the incompetent brother in front of all the subjects, making the people completely despise him. After the insult, Aorangzebu executed his elder brother cruelly to eliminate future troubles.
He has the iron-fisted heart that ancient usurpers are used to. He is like the Chinese Qin II Hu Hai and Tang Dynasty Li Shimin. In order to usurp the throne, he not only killed the crown prince, but also eliminated all brothers who were likely to compete for the throne with him. Aolang Zebu also imprisoned his father in the Taj Mahal, so that he could only cry in his last days. After doing all this, Aorangzebu successfully ascended the throne and became the sixth emperor of the Mughals.
India has been full of small countries since ancient times. Although the Mughals can be called the largest empire in India, they did not establish a centralized political system like the dynasties of China. They still adopted the vassal system. There were a large number of small states under them, which caused frequent rebellions.
The Mughal dynasty was a regime that believed in Islam, while India was Hindu . Therefore, the Mughal dynasty had always had fierce religious contradictions. Aolangzebu adopted a tough and rough religious policy and tried his best to suppress and persecute other religions, which further aggravated the Mughal conflicts. Therefore, after Aolangzebu became emperor, small states in the country rebelled one after another. Aolangzebu then imitated his ancestor Babir and fought everywhere.
Arangzebu is very strategic and knows the principle of defeating others without fighting. So he has a very strange approach. He first sent an envoy to take a gorgeously decorated elephant to the Duban he wanted to conquer. The elephant carried a carriage specially designed for the king to ride on, but no one sat on it. On it was only Aorangzebu's jewelry slippers.
Arangzebu's slippers are his incarnation, which means not to speak, which is to tell the king of the country that IArangzebu wants to "practice the noble land". If you are tactful, please bow your head and give up to avoid a murder.
Some weak Tumen saw that they were afraid of being massacred by the Mughal army, so they quickly respectfully welcomed the slippers and placed them on their throne, which meant surrender.
, but it is still a bloody country. He directly coaxed Aorzebu's envoy away and did not allow Aorzebu's slippers to trample on his territory.
Aorangzebu will immediately send a large army to conquer. The Mughal Dynasty is worthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan and Timur. Like these two ancestors, he is very fond of killing.
If that city does not surrender, the Mughal army will also "massacre" the enemy who resists, and the people in the city will not be left behind! And they also have to cut off the heads of all the victims and pile them up into terrifying "skull towers"! The purpose was to intimidate other unsatisfied countries. Therefore, the Indians at that time were very scared of Aurangzebu .
With such a bloody and horror lesson, other countries had to respectfully welcome Aorzebu's slippers. In this way, Aorangzebu expanded the territory of Mughals to his historical peak with just a pair of slippers!
