Chapter 900 Negotiation
Aurangzeb fled all the way for more than 300 miles, and the Chinese army stopped pursuing and chose to return to Calcutta.
The purpose of the Chinese army is very clear, that is to defeat the Mughal Empire and force them to recognize Dahua's occupation of the Bengal belt.
They are not yet ready to annex the entire Indian region, so there is no need to wipe out Aurangzeb. On the contrary, it seems that they will not die, and it is easy to force Aurangzeb to die.
Don't look at the Chinese army winning the battle, annihilating the enemy while losing less than a thousand people, it feels like a big profit.
However, their ammunition consumption is extremely high.
Two-thirds of the shells of the field artillery were used up, nearly half of the bullets of the machine gun were consumed, and one-third of the bullets of the rifle were consumed. All other types of ammunition were consumed to varying degrees.
In other words, they can barely do another battle of this scale, but not if there are too many.
Moreover, they will need to consume ammunition to capture the entire Bangladesh area next.
Subsequent maintenance of law and order and force deterrence also require ammunition, which cannot be consumed at once.
Although they can also apply for ammunition support from the country in an emergency, they don't want to make such a report unless it is a last resort, because it will make them appear incompetent and unable to complete the set tasks.
In short, considering all the circumstances, the Chinese army did not continue to chase, which made Aurangzeb feel relieved, and finally had time to count the losses.
After statistics, Aurangzeb got the data, and he was a few years older.
After this battle, only 250,000 of his 400,000 troops remained.
How many of the other 150,000 were killed in battle, how many fled in the chaos, and how many were captured, this is not important, what is important is that he lost 250,000 troops.
Even if the Mughal Empire had a large population and its soldiers were worthless, this loss was enough.
Moreover, it is not only people who are lost.
Those arrow beds were all destroyed or captured by the Chinese army, the elephant soldiers were gone, and the cavalry lost more than 10,000 horses.
As for the losses of armor, swords, bows and crossbows, there are countless losses.
In order to escape faster, many soldiers threw away all their equipment.
He still has 250,000 people, but only about 200,000 have equipment, and there is no heavy equipment, only his four-meter-high chariot has been pushed back.
"What should I do next, have you thought of any plans?"
asked Aurangzeb.
When retreating, what those people said was to find a way after retreating.
Now that we have successfully retreated, what can we do?
Although the losses were heavy, if they could figure out a way to defeat the Huajun, they could still make up for the losses.
As long as you can win the battle, losing some low-level soldiers is nothing.
There was a silence below.
Method? How could there be a way.
Unless the Huajun are all fools who throw away the bullets and use the guns as iron bars, they are no match.
Hua Jun is obviously not a fool, but also very shrewd.
So, they have no choice.
"Humph."
Aurangzeb snorted coldly.
His subordinates were terribly frightened, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Aurangzeb had a headache for two days. What he never expected was that it was Dahua who helped him get rid of this trouble.
The Chinese army sent envoys to express their position to Aurangzeb.
Dahua only wants to be in Bangladesh, and has no intention of conquering India, so Aurangzeb can rest assured.
As long as Aurangzeb signs a treaty and cedes Bangladesh, the two sides can stop the war.
Of course, if Aurangzeb refuses to agree and insists on fighting, Dahua doesn't care.
However, when the time comes, Dahua will increase its troops from the mainland, and one Bangladesh may not be satisfied.
The Dahua envoy coaxed and threatened, making Aurangzeb's face bright and cloudy for a while.
Dahua has no intention of going west, which is great news for him. Zhongyu can breathe a sigh of relief, and doesn't have to worry about the Hua army fighting all the way to Delhi.
At that time, he will definitely not be able to bear this responsibility, and he will not be able to stop the attack of the Chinese army.
Well now, Dahua only needs one Bangladeshi.
Although losing Bangladesh is also a very serious problem, it is much better than losing Delhi.
The territory of the Mughal Empire is very large, and the loss of a Bengal will not affect the foundation of the Mughal Empire.
But if Delhi is lost, their regime may be lost.
When the Dahua envoy gave the suggestion, Aurangzeb actually accepted it in his heart, but he couldn't hold back his face, so he was embarrassed to agree directly.
If he doesn't agree, he has no better way.
If you agree, at least you can tide over the current difficulties.
As for the future, let's talk about it later. I can't care about it now, what else will I care about in the future.
"I need to think again."
Aurangzeb didn't yell at Dahua's envoy, that doesn't make much sense.
"Then I will wait for the good news from the prince."
The Dahua envoy smiled and said that this task was simply a waste of credit for him.
Is it possible for Aurangzeb to refuse? Not at all possible.
If anyone sat in Aurangzeb's position, there would be no better choice than promise
.
Losing one city and one country is a good choice.
After the Great Hua envoy left, Aurangzeb summoned his subordinates, told them about the situation, and asked them for their opinions.
He said he was asking for an opinion, but in fact he had already made a decision in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to speak up and hoped that his subordinates would do so.
Most of the people below guessed what Aurangzeb was thinking, and then began to weigh the pros and cons.
Do you want to speak?
If you speak, you can help Aurangzeb resolve the embarrassment, and you will definitely be reused by Aurangzeb in the future.
However, if you agree with it first, and then wait for the treaty to be signed, you will inevitably be attacked by others as a traitor, and your reputation will be bad.
"I think we can agree to their conditions, otherwise we will be in danger. Dahua has millions of troops in the mainland. If we increase our troops, we will not even be able to defend Delhi."
Bahadu reminded everyone that the Chinese army in Bangladesh is not the full strength of Dahua.
If the battle continues to the death and attracts more Chinese troops, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Yes, the 60,000 Chinese army is so difficult to deal with, and the 100,000 troops are even more useless."
"It's just a Bengal, anyway, we snatched it before."
"We should agree in exchange for breathing time. We also want to buy those weapons, accumulate strength, and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the future and take back Bangladesh."
Everyone spoke one after another, and they all chose to agree.
On the one hand, it was to flatter Aurangzeb. On the other hand, they really did not dare to fight the Chinese army again, so they needed to slow down first.
