Guge was annexed by them, and this is also their heyday.

Before the annexation of Guge, Ladakh, which had greatly increased its strength, swelled, but the swollen Namgarh Kingdom soon learned a lesson. The Kashmiri princes invaded Ladakh twice, and even the governor of the Yarkand Khanate briefly

Captured Ladakh.

The current king, Sanggen Namgyal, is considered a more capable king. He unified the three kingdoms of Ladakh, Purang and Guge, known as the Ali Triangle, and unified Ali.

Looking back on the previous experience of the king being beaten up by all parties, this Senggan Nanji was more pragmatic and believed that Uizang, whom they shared the faith with, did not help them, so he turned around and showed his favor to the more powerful Mughal Empire in the south and agreed.

The Mughals had long demanded tribute as a vassal.

It was the Skardu leader from the Baltistan region of the Mughal Empire in the south who led troops to invade Ladakh, occupied the capital, and imprisoned the then king.

During this period, the prince married a daughter to the king and gave birth to a child with him. Afterwards, the leader released the king. The king was disheartened and lost interest in being a king. He turned around and became a monk.

The throne was left to his son by the chief's daughter.

With this relationship, it is reasonable for Sangnamgyal to switch to the Mughal Empire.

But for the Ming Dynasty, of course it violated the interests of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Guge and Ladakh used to be vassals of Weizang, and Weizang is now a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, especially Ladakh, which is also an important Kunlun Corridor, connecting

Xinzang, such an important place, how could he switch to India?

"This is a good time. Didn't Dayan say before that Yarkand and the Khotan cities would be handed over to the Ming Dynasty? Now it is just in the name of the crusade against Ladakh that we will send our Ming soldiers and horses there. On the grounds of military supplies, etc., we can

Establish military forts and stations in Yarkand and other places in Khotan. After Ladakh is conquered, troops can be stationed there directly. Even the castles in Yarkand, Khotan and other places can be retained and troops can be stationed there.
