第1080章 突袭莫卧儿北线

Narrowly defined, the Western Regions extend from the Yumen Pass to the east of the Congling Mountains, with the Pamir Plateau being located at the Congling Mountains.
Broadly defined, the Western Regions extend from the Yumen Pass to the westernmost part of Europe, which is Spain. All of these areas are considered the Western Regions.
正统历史上，大明朝与西域各国交流不算多，但也有交流。
明朝初年，朱元璋就派使者到过中亚，出使帖木儿帝国。
However, at that time, the arrogant Timurid Empire illegally detained the Ming Dynasty's envoy.
Timurid arrogantly declared, "China is far beneath me, the emperor. What is the emperor compared to me?"
It means that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as him.
During the era of Zhu Di, Zhu Di also sent emissaries to Timur, but they were detained by Timur.
Timur was the most powerful country in the Western Regions at that time, and its founder Timur married a descendant of Genghis Khan, gaining legitimacy on the basis of legal principles.
它的领土一度抵达葱岭，最西边则达到了奥斯曼，甚至毕竟当时国土已经很小的东罗马帝国。
足见帖木儿当时的强大。
No matter what, the two countries can be considered to have trade exchanges.
明朝景泰七年，在波斯高原的帖木儿帝国就派使者向明朝进贡玉石。
Although it was called tribute, it was actually for conducting business.
The envoys of the Timurid Empire gave jade, but the quality of the jade is really poor.
There are only twenty-four pieces of good jade, weighing only sixty-eight catties.
The rest of the inferior jade weighs up to six thousand catties.
你想想，这帮人大老远从波斯那一带跑到北京，二十四块玉石，他们是怎么好意思拿出手的？
脸皮更厚的还在后面，这帮人要求明朝，按照每五斤一匹绢来兑换。
In order to establish trade with the countries in the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty naturally agreed to the request of Timur's envoy.
As a result, later on, various small countries in the Western Regions also immediately joined the ranks of trading with the East.
但处于帖木儿的原因，西域各国对大明朝的态度是轻视的，蔑视的。
到了明末的时候，东西方基本断绝往来。
像布哈拉汗国这样的国家，当然知道东方有大国，却已经忘记了那个大国的完整面貌，唯一也就从史书上可以找到。
Buhaala knows where, Daming just came and attacked like this!
After Chongzhen entered the Bukhara Khanate, he aggressively advanced, killing anyone who dared to obstruct him.
Those who didn't obstruct him, he would give money, buy goods, in order to win their favor.
所谓恩威并施，到哪里都是可以上演的。
原本就夹在波斯萨法维帝国和莫卧儿帝国之间，隔三差五被摁在地上摩擦来摩擦去的布哈拉汗国，更加流下了委屈的眼泪。
Bukhara: Don't come in! Ah! Ah! Ah...
Abdullah Aziz did not hesitate: Surrender, negotiate, do whatever you want as long as our country doesn't get destroyed. I have been ravaged by this heartless world and all I want is to lie down and enjoy.
到了七月中旬的时候，崇祯终于离开了布哈拉，抵达莫卧儿边界。
而此时莫卧儿阿格拉王城内，沙贾汗见到了阿布都拉·阿齐兹派来的使者。
The emissary knelt and surrendered in front of Shah Jahan, saying that as long as you withdraw your troops, we can discuss everything.
Shah Jahan looked confused and said, "Wait...when did I send troops to attack you?"
Oh, by the way, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Are you itching for a fight and coming here to remind me to send troops to beat you?
It's all because this messenger came too quickly, just like a tornado.
以至于还搞不清楚状况的沙贾汗也厚着脸皮真的开始提条件了，他的条件很简单，将白沙瓦以北到塔什库尔干一带全部划归给莫卧儿。
心急如焚的使者，按照汗王的嘱咐，居然答应了！
这下把沙贾汗给乐坏了。
只要把这一片拿下来，对波斯的战略纵深就更长了，他将在于波斯萨法维帝国的战争中取得绝对的主动地位。
而此时，波斯帝国的王城伊斯法罕已经接到了来自布哈拉汗国的消息。
阿巴斯二世一听说莫卧儿初步布哈拉汗国了，整个人直接炸毛。
Why?
因为上半年，他接到一个消息，俄罗斯使者在去年出使了莫卧儿。
而波斯目前有两个最强大的敌人，一个是莫卧儿，一个就是俄罗斯。
俄罗斯在波斯的北部，莫卧儿在波斯的东南部。
这两个国家若是联合起来，波斯腹背受敌，将面临灭亡之灾。
在阿巴斯二世看来，莫卧儿出兵布哈拉汗国，是和俄罗斯达成了不可告人的秘密，准备吞并布哈拉汗国，从东面彻底包围波斯。
This made Abbas vigilant and immediately began mobilizing soldiers domestically.
Chongzhen did not expect that his arrival would immediately muddle the situation in Central Asia.
他也懒得想这么多，接下来朕要一个个打了。
什么莫卧儿，什么沙俄，一个个跪吧！
On July 13th, Lu Xiangsheng received an order from Chongzhen to launch an attack on the northern stronghold of Peshawar.
Peshawar, an important location on the Silk Road.
唐朝时期的玄奘西行，他在《大唐西域记》中称这里是“花果繁茂”的天府之国。
In ancient times, Alexander's expeditionary army arrived here and conducted large-scale military operations.
In this era, it was a strategically important town in the northern region, occupied by the Mughals.
莫卧儿在这里驻扎有10万大军，是为了随时和波斯人进行军事角逐。
太阳炙烤着大地，白沙瓦如同往常一样，路上商旅如梭。
一车车货物在道路上运输，有不少莫卧儿的军用物资。
远处偶尔还能看到一头头大象缓缓行过。
Some soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Mughal Empire are leaning against the shade of trees, chatting.
夏风从印度洋上涌上南亚次大陆，越过茂密的丛林，在这里化作一阵阵微弱的风浪。
莫卧儿帝国和波斯萨法维帝国的关系一度紧张，所以这里随处看到士兵也是很正常的。
Yang Lin's marching speed is extremely fast.
He led 5,000 cavalry and covered a distance of 300 miles from the north in just one day.
Then, with lightning speed, he appeared outside the city of Peshawar.
At noon on July 17th, the soldiers at the city tower in Peshawar saw a dark, overwhelming shadow in the distance, resembling a torrent, rushing towards them.
他们立刻吹起号角。
而当城外的人发现的时候已经晚了，明军来如风一般。
每个人都持着锋利的长刀，一进入主道，便开始砍人。
那些商人完全没有反应过来，瞬间人头在地上打转起来。
