The Sepoys of the British Army decided to march to Delhi and take over the Red Fort and declare Bahadur Shah Zafar, the Moghul emperor as their leader in the struggle against the British. The ageing emperor had no choice but to agree and sent letters to all the chiefs and princes of ruling families to unite and form a confederacy to fight and defeat the British. This letter sent under the name of Bahadur Shah Zafar had far reaching implications. The chiefs and rulers of small states all over the country came to believe that if the ageing emperor would lead the struggle, then they would be successful in overthrowing the British. It brought in a lot of confidence and set the morale high among these chiefs. They agreed to fight the British and free the country and then rule under the emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. This result of Bahadur Shah Zafar's leadership came as a surprise to the British and it gave the rebels a joy of discovering an alternative.
