Chapter 1120 The game of the two empires for the moon
Amir Khan was a traditional Mughal soldier.
This traditional Mughal soldier has a very distinctive feature. The European style obeys the orders of the king and will not question them at all.
So after receiving the order from Aurangzeb, Aamir Khan immediately led an army of 50,000 from Delhi to Kabul.
This generation's journey is difficult.
In addition to the barren land and severe desertification, the frequent sandstorms are also painful.
But he didn't think there was any problem, because in his mind, executing the will of the king was the most important thing.
In addition, Aamir Khan had long disliked the people of Kabul, and these people followed the Persians because they could be without any scruples with their backers and masters.
But in fact, the Persians may not be able to really protect them.
The Persians were not as powerful as they thought.
Although the Persians had just defeated the powerful Ottoman Empire not long ago, they became famous for a while.
But in fact, many people, including Aamir Khan, are very clear that most of this is actually due to the Ming army.
Otherwise, why would the Persians have been suppressed by the Ottomans in the past few decades?
Anyway, it's because of my own lack of strength.
It was because the intervention of the Ming army broke this balance that the arrogant Ottomans were careless and underestimated the enemy, and they were eventually defeated and withdrawn from this area.
After that, the Persians not only extended their hands to the Ottoman territory where the original Mesopotamians were in the Mesopotamians, but also wanted to settle in Kabul.
This is simply infuriating.
You should know that Kabul is the sphere of influence of the Mughal Empire.
Aamir Khan felt that these Persians were a little too arrogant.
Of course, the Kabul region is not as prosperous as the Mesopotamia, but it is a throat zone.
The Silk Road will definitely pass through this area.
Whoever controls Kabul is equivalent to controlling the throat and bonds of the Silk Road, and will have absolute benefits and advantages in handling many things in the next few days.
Amir Khan was an iron-fisted soldier who firmly believed in the importance of force.
There are some things that you can never have a result when you talk.
But it's completely different to fight.
The indigenous people of Kabul obviously understand this truth.
These small tribes have limited strength and are constantly in conflict with each other, but in the end they still rely on fists to solve the problem.
Taking a step back, even if they have no conflicts and are all united together, they are not opponents of any great empire.
Therefore, in order to survive, they can only rely on a powerful empire and survive on this powerful empire.
It's just that they found the wrong person.
This time Aamir Khan will let them know the outcome of choosing the wrong backer.

"Not good, no good!"
In a big mansion in Kabul, a servant rushed in panic.
"What's going on in a panic? What's going on?"
"I heard that the Mughal army is coming to Kabul. They are aggressive. It seems that they are trying to cause trouble for us."
"What! The Mughal army is here?"
For a moment, the room was very panicked.
Almost everyone is in a state of extreme fear.
The tribes here are complicated, but no matter which tribe they are, they retain a basic habit, that is, discuss matters together.
Nothing can be decided by an elder with a slap in his head, and everything must be approved by the Presbyterian Church.
But now everyone is not very stable.
You should know that the Mughal Empire is also famous and is as famous as the Ottoman Empire and even the Safi Empire.
In this case, if you offend them, the native tribes in Kabul must have no good fruits to eat.
"Oh, did I just say that why do we do this kind of behavior of riding a fence? We have all agreed to rely on the Mughals, so why did we go back and forth with the Persians? Now, the Mughal army came to raise an army to question the crime. What should we do?"
"Hmph, it's really short-sighted. Do you think it's okay if we don't contact the Persians? You have to know that the Persians have been coveting the Kabul region for a long time. Even if we don't take the initiative to contact, they will definitely send people. At that time, we may not even have the chance to bargain."
"But what should we do now? Obviously the Mughals will not give up. If they really want to take revenge, how can we deal with it?"
"How else can I deal with it? Of course, I will admit defeat first and drag it down, and then send someone to Isfahan to report the news. When the Persians knew about it, they would definitely send troops to help. If even their younger brothers cannot be protected, who else would be willing to rely on them in the future."
The current situation is a bit complicated, both Persian and Mughals attach great importance to their own interests.
They will never allow their own interests to be affected by others.
Therefore, there must be a battle between the two sides, because Kabul, the fuse or powder keg, caused the intensification of conflicts between the two sides.
Since that's the case, they simply threw the problem to both sides.
Whoever has stronger strength will pay tribute to them.
There is no way to do this, and the small tribe can only swallow their anger.
It is already very difficult to survive in this chaotic world.
"Okay, then I'll go and report the message now. Without further ado, the Persians will get the news one day earlier and can come to help one day earlier. I'll ask you here and try to hold the Mughals as much as possible."
...
...
The weather in Kabul is like a little girl's face changing as soon as she says.
The sky was clear the moment before, but the next moment it became dark clouds and strong winds.
This is obviously a precursor to the arrival of a storm.
Aamir Khan held the reins in one hand and frowned.
Although he had led his troops to the Kabul area after a long journey, he was still a certain distance from Kabul City.
I definitely can't get there today. According to the current weather, it's best to find a place to shelter from the wind and rest for now. Otherwise, the storm will really come, and the impact on the army will be immeasurable.
It is very likely that a storm will lead to a huge army of chaos.
If this continues, it will lead to a downward trend in the morale of the army.
This is certainly not what Amir Khan wants to see.
Although he used iron-fisted methods to govern the army, it did not mean that he was not compatible with the world, nor did it mean that he did not understand the truth.
So he immediately ordered to find a place to shelter from the rain and let the army rest.
Such places are actually not difficult to find in Kabul. After all, their requirements are not high, as long as they can shelter from wind and rain.
When the storm passed, they had almost rested, so they set off again.
