Chapter 1342 Hope to mediate
After learning that the Bangladesh army had crossed the border, Kaduoqi's first reaction was not to order the fight, but to keep the army restrained, and then immediately reported to Aurangzebu, hoping to use diplomatic means to resolve the crisis.
After all, the reform of the Mughal Empire is just halfway through, and the top leaders of the Mughal Empire do not want a war to break out at this time.
Because once the war begins, the reform of the Mughal Empire is likely to be interrupted or failed.
The military order was issued, and the Mughal Empire's army quickly retreated, hoping that the Bangladesh army could stop advancing and avoid conflict.
At this time, Kaduo made the army restrain themselves, and sent people to question the Bangladesh people why they tore up the treaty.
The news that Kaduoqi received was that Bangladesh claimed that the Mughal Empire first destroyed peace.
This made Kaduoqi realize that the Bangladesh had been planning for a long time and wanted to blackmail, but he still did not want to fight. He hoped to agree to some of the Bangladesh demands through concessions in exchange for peace.
However, Kaduoqi miscalculated, and the Mughal army retreated, and the Bangladesh army chased directly to the city of Mengyingji, forcing the Mughals to retreat without any further.
...
In the capital of the Mughal Empire, Emperor Aurangzeb was extremely shocked to receive the news from Kadochi.
"This is a slander!" Aurangzeb looked angry, "Shahshuja deliberately provoked a war and wanted to frame Ben Khan!"
Prime Minister Rahul said in a deep voice: "Khan, Shahshuja deliberately provoked, what should we do now?"
Aurangzeb was anxious. He paced in the hall and finally said for a while: "Tell him to Khaduoqi, so that he could defend Meng Yingji, and at the same time, he could not intensify the conflict! In addition, immediately notify Qianguo, British and French ambassadors, and Ben Khan would meet them!"
Delhi City, Qianchao Embassy.
After Shahshuja ordered the army to cross the border, he notified the ambassador of the Qian Dynasty to Bangladesh and informed the envoys of the Qian Dynasty about the actions of Bangladesh.
This shocked the ambassador of the Qian Dynasty. He realized that the matter might not be stated to Shahshuja, but the ambassador of the Qian Dynasty could not confirm that Shahshuja was lies in a short period of time.
Facing Shahshuja, on the grounds that Aurangzebu broke the contract, he asked Daqian to send troops to join the war. The ambassador could only send an envoy immediately on the grounds that he needed to ask for instructions and reported to Nanjing, and at the same time he would ventilate to the Delhi Embassy.
Aurangzeb knew that Shahshuja was supported by Qian Dynasty, so his first reaction was that Qian Dynasty instigated Shahshuja behind his back, and all of him received the British and French ambassadors first.
"The two ambassadors, the two countries also participated in the signing of the treaty. Now the Qian Dynasty instigated Bangladesh to tear up the treaty, which must be to expand its interests in the Mughals, and even wanted to monopolize the Mughals. This is also unfavorable to Britain and France, and it harms your interests!" Facing the Qian Dynasty, Aurangzeb felt unsure. All he could think of was to use the West to control the East and use the Western powers to put pressure on the Qian Dynasty.
At this time, the ambassadors of Britain and France were immediately angry when they learned that the Qian Dynasty had incited Bangladesh to provoke a war and wanted to seize the Mughal Empire.
French Ambassador Mark immediately said, "His Majesty the Emperor, you can rest assured that France is firmly standing on the side of the Mughal Empire. We will definitely not allow Qian Chao to swallow Mughals alone!"
The British ambassador quickly said, "Our British Empire is willing to unite with all countries to put pressure on the Qian Dynasty and fully support His Majesty the Emperor!"
After hearing the words of the ambassadors of the two countries, Aurangzeb's confidence increased greatly, "This is up to the mediation of Britain and France!"
Aurangzeb met the ambassadors of Britain and France before he met the ambassadors of Britain and France. Shahshuja's unauthorized actions made the ambassadors of Korea very passive.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the ambassador did not know the court's attitude. Out of his duties, the ambassador could only do his best to safeguard the interests of his work, claiming that according to the news received by the embassy, Aurangzeb took the initiative to provoke the war.
However, this is obviously unreasonable. After all, if Aurangzeb provoked the war, he would not give in step by step and would rush to mediate.
For a time, the ambassador Gan Chao was criticized by various countries. Under pressure and to maintain the civilized diplomatic rules established by the Gan Chao, the ambassador Gan Chao could only agree to the ambassadors of various countries to send personnel to investigate and actively participate in mediation.
...
When Aurangzeb placed his hopes on mediation between countries, Shahshuja began to gather allies and ordered a nationwide mobilization to prepare to expand the war and seize the throne.
At this time, facing the Bangladesh army's step by step, the Mughal Empire's army could no longer retreat.
The Governor's Mansion, Kaduo's face was gloomy. Meng Yingji was an important stronghold for the Mughal Empire's rule. If he gave up easily, the Bangladeshi army would occupy the entire Bihar and threaten Delhi.
"Sir! You can't retreat anymore! If you retreat to the Bangladesh army, you will enter Mengyingji!" The officer reported angrily.
Kaduo was restlessly paced back and forth in the lobby, and at this moment, outside Mengyingji City, the Bangladeshi army wearing standard military uniforms and national caps, was carrying muskets and lined up.
Behind them, after the checkpoints on the road, the Mughal Empire's army stood after resisting horses and watched nervously at the Bangladesh army.
A Mughal officer, as he saw them approaching the level, stood up and reached out to stop the advancement army from continuing to move forward.
"This is the territory of the Mughal Empire, you are not allowed to advance anymore!" The officer shouted loudly, blocking the Bengal army with his body.
At this time, the army, carrying muskets and bayonets, suddenly stopped and the air was silent in an instant.
In the array of the Bangladeshi army, an officer came out, without saying a word, took out a short-barrel flintlock rifle and pulled the trigger directly.
With a "bang", a cloud of blood mist rose in the chest of the Mughal officer and was directly knocked to the ground.
At this moment, the Mughal army, who had been patient for a long time, finally became angry. When they saw the Bengals fire the first shot, the officer immediately yelled, "Get me!"
"Bang bang bang"
Fierce gunfire, and the Mughal troops behind the level fought back one after another, while the Bangladeshi army also squatted on both sides of the road to shoot, and the war finally broke out.
~~~~~~~
At this time, the Governor's Mansion Kaduoqi was still hesitating, and suddenly an officer ran in to report, "Governor, the attack has been started outside the city. The Bangladeshi fired the first shot, and the soldiers fought back in anger."
Kaduoshi heard the words and looked complicated, but then calmed down, "Since they fired the gun first, the troops immediately set up defenses, but they were not allowed to take the initiative. This dispute was initiated by them, and Britain, France and other countries would definitely speak for us."
Although the Mughal Empire retreated again and again, Bangladesh still launched a war on the grounds that the Mughal Empire took the initiative to attack Bangladesh.
Although the war has begun and the Bangladesh army has begun to attack Mengyingji, Kaduoqi has not given up on the possibility of peace. He wants to maintain the status quo and wait for investigation teams from various countries to mediate.
