Chapter 764 Mongolia, Celestial Religion, Eastern Roman Alliance
“Alahu Akba…”
The melodious chanting sounds come from the Zhenshen Temple "Tian Fang Cult Power". This Zhenshen Temple, located in the suburbs of Delhi, is gorgeous, solemn and majestic, and shows the unique beauty of the Tian Fang Cult and the desire to conquer. Just like its name, this Zhenshen Temple symbolizes the powerful power of the Tian Fang Cult - the building materials for the construction of this Zhenshen Temple and the nearby Gutbu Pagoda come from 20 Brahmin temples.
In order to commemorate the victory of the Delhi Sultanate in India and to show his strength to the Brahmins in India, the Delhi Sultans ordered the demolition of Brahmin temples near Delhi and built the temples and towers of the Tianfang Cult with their materials.
The current Delhi Sultan, Jiastin Baleban, was in the True God Mosque of the "Tianfang Cult", doing the second of the five routine prayers every day - "Shushni".
Raise your hand, reciting, chanting, bowing, kowtowing, and kneeling. The devout Sultan completed the full set of actions of Sultan, and then silently muttered, "The omnipotent god, the greatest god, the only true god, Kafiel is coming, unprecedentedly powerful, even more powerful than the terrifying Mongolian White Death Demon. They beat the devil's banner and possess the power of the devil, and now they extend their greedy claws to India - a land bathed in the glory of the true god. As your devout believer, under the entrusted by the Caliph Hakim, the Delhi Sultan who ruled the five Indian lands, how should I defeat your enemies and send them all into the eternal hell? Do you really want to form an alliance with the Mongolian White Death Demon who killed the Caliph Mustedum and plagued India's peace from time to time?"
The Caliph Hakim and the envoy of Mamruk Sultan Baibals, Pu Shougen, had arrived in Delhi and brought a handwritten letter from the Caliph and Mamruk Sultan, asking the Delhi Sultan to shake hands with the Mongols' Ili Khanate. It also explained the reason: the war between the Tianfang Cult and the Great Mongol Kingdom has ended, the Caliph's capital Baghdad has been recovered, and Mongolia and Tianfang Cult already have a common enemy - the Ming Empire from the East!
This empire rose like a miracle, as if it was a repetition of the rise of Mongolia in the past. Only this country has the power of civilization, while Mongolia has the power of barbarism. However, powerful civilization and powerful barbarism seem to be no different in dealing with backwardness and weakness.
The Chinese, who had been washed by the Mongols with blood and fire, seemed to no longer adhere to their principle of being kind to their neighbors for hundreds of years. Instead, they broke out like the Mongols who wanted to conquer the world. And they had already put it into practice! Terrible news came from the East, first the Three Buddhas, then the Java and Champaign, and now it was the Khmer, Bagan and Alagan... These countries have been invaded by the Ming Empire, either destroyed, or become vassals or are about to perish!
The army of the Ming Empire seemed to be invincible! Whether on sea or on land, there seemed to be nothing to stop their pace, and even the snow-capped mountains could not do well. The terrible news came from Neporo in the north. The vassal Tubo people and some Han troops of the Ming Empire crossed the Himalayas with the 10,000 Buddhist flags and attacked the Kathmandu Valley. The Neporo Kingdom was in danger and had to send a letter of help to their mortal enemy, Delhi Sultan.
Also sent letters for help were Ibrahim, the Governor of Bangladesh. The Alagan Kingdom bordering Bangladesh was invaded by Ming troops from the sea not long ago, and Chittagong, close to Bangladesh, soon fell. After asking Brahmin merchants who fled from Chittagong, they learned that the Ming army who arrived at Chittagong by sea were all wearing Buddhist 100,000 flags, with a number of about 100,000 people. They were tolerant of Brahmins, but they showed hostility to the Tianfang Cult. The Tianfang Cult community in Chitta was surrounded, and soldiers searched for weapons from door to door. The famous religious leader was placed under house arrest in the True God Mosque and became hostages, and all the Tianfang Cult merchants were forbidden to leave. It is obvious that these Ming invaders who held the 100,000 flags regarded the Delhi Sultanate, who believed in the Tianfang Cult as enemies!
Governor Ibrahim also mentioned a vague news in his letter: the Ming army fought with the Bagan Kingdom somewhere east of Chittagong for ivory, and finally won a great victory, grabbed more than 2,000 ivory pieces, and had all been shipped back to the Ming Dynasty for sale.
Giastin Paleban didn't understand what the "Ivory War" was going on? But one thing is certain that Bagan, the great power of the East, had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty and would probably give up the sovereignty of Alakan. In this way, the Ming Empire obtained a springboard for invading the Sultanate of Delhi from the East.
The rich Bangladesh will soon be attacked!
In addition, the invading Ming army did not shoot out their sun and moon flags but raised the Buddhist 10,000-character flag, which shows that they were likely to be colluding with the declined Buddhists in India.
The Ming Dynasty's war invasion of India was also a religious war! Just like the conquest of India by the Tianfang Cult!
Giastin Palaban Sultan knew that Buddhism was born in India and was a sect that split from Brahmanism. To some extent, it was a reform of Brahmanism. Therefore, the relationship between Brahman kings and Buddhist rulers was not irreconcilable. In history, there were two monarchs in India, where the Mauryan Dynasty and the Polo Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and the monarchs who believed in Buddhism and the people and bureaucrats who believed in Brahmanism could still get along with each other. This was much better than the Sultanate of Delhi.
The Sultan of Balesban knew very well that the social basis of his rule was the military aristocratic group composed of Turks who believed in the Tianfang Cult, Afghans and Persians. Moreover, there were not many people. There were only more than 2,000 military aristocratic families with the "Iqta" fief. In addition, tens of thousands of Turkic or Afghan soldiers employed from foreign countries who believed in the Tianfang Cult. This was the basis for the Delhi Sultanate to rule India. Who would have thought that the Delhi Sultanate, which controlled most of India, had such a weak foundation!
It is obvious that relying solely on more than 2,000 "Iqta" nobles and tens of thousands of foreign mercenaries cannot maintain the Delhi Sultanate.
Once the full-scale war with the Ming Empire began, the lives of the warriors of the Tianfang Cult will be consumed like flowing water. Perhaps after several battles, tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed or injured. To supplement the losses, you can only go to Afghanistan and hire in the Mesopotamian Basin and the Caucasus mountains. The best warriors of the Tianfang Cult come from there, and the Sultan of Giastin Balban himself is no exception.
"It seems that only Indian wealth can be used to hire warriors in the grasslands, deserts and mountains!"
Giastin Palesban Sultan took a deep breath and finally made a decision. The Sultanate of Delhi is facing the crisis of destruction! If you want to survive, you must continue to have a steady stream of Tianfang Cult mercenaries from abroad.
And those mercenaries that produce mercenaries are currently controlled by the Great Mongolian Kingdom! Therefore, the Delhi Sultanate can only join forces with the Mongolians!
"Tell me my order," the Sultan shouted in a majestic voice, "Pu Shougen, the envoy of Mamruk, came in!"
...
"Your Majesty Sultan, the entire Tianfang Cult world will always remember your wisdom and wisdom. Your correct choice will allow the truth of the True God to spread throughout the world in the future."
In the "Tianfang Cult Power" mosque, Pu Shougen spoke fluent Persian, and spoke insincere compliments to the dignified Sultan of Delhi who looked majestic and calm. In any case, Pu Shougen did his best to resist the expansion of Ming imperialism.
Under his mediation, an alliance aimed at opposing the Ming Empire had been formed. This alliance included the Great Mongol, the Mamuruk Sultanate, the Delhi Sultanate, the Marin Sultanate (Moors) and the Eastern Roman Empire. It has millions of elite warriors, ruled nearly 10 million people, and has a vast land, with more than ten thousand miles from east to west, which is enough to fight against the alliance between the Roman Catholic Church and the Ming Empire.
"Commentary words alone cannot help my Delhi Sultanate!" The Giastin Palesban Sultan shook his head slightly, "The Delhi Sultanate needs tangible assistance, because India has been invaded by the invasion of the riot, and Alakan has fallen. Neporo will soon change hands. In the mountainous areas of northwest India, the Ladakhs also slapped the 10,000-character flag. My country is attacked from three sides and needs assistance in urgent need of assistance!"
"The Caliph has announced the Holy War, and soon the God Warriors of the Tianfang Cult will come to India..."
"It's useless!" Giastin Palesban Sultan waved his hand and interrupted, "The god warriors did not block the Mongols back then. Today they can block the riot? What I want is a real warrior, from the Caucasus, Afghanistan or the Qinzha grassland, after strict training, and believe in the true god. Just like me! It takes a lot, the more the better!"
Pu Shougeng had already received the promise from Kublai Khan and Abaha. He smiled and nodded, "No problem, Da Khan and Abaha Khan allow you to recruit warriors in Afghanistan. As for the Qincha Grassland and the Caucasus Mountains, your people can also go there immediately. In addition, I also brought some H-drug weapons that can restrain the Ming army, which can serve as samples for your craftsmen. I also brought the formula of h-drug..."
"Oh? I also brought h medicine weapons and h medicine formula?" The face of Giastin Palesban Sultan finally showed a smile. He had heard of the power of h medicine weapons for a long time, and had also obtained some through special channels. However, he did not get h medicine formula.
"Yes, the h medicine is actually very easy to prepare. It only requires saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal." Pu Shougen smiled and bent down to salute, "With the h medicine, His Majesty's army will definitely be stronger! I wish Your Majesty the invading Explosion as soon as possible and unify the five Indian countries!" (To be continued.)
