When Luo Zhichen brought his mission and gifts with Zhu Cihong's Indian brother-in-law **** to Delhi, the capital of the Timurid Empire in India, Shasta Khan and Gu Conglong, the envoy of the Dashun Empire

, Xin Guiyi (the same Singh who surrendered to Li Jicheng in Orissa Province, was given the surname Xin by Li Jicheng and changed his name to Guiyi) arrived first.

The blackmail letter brought by Gu Conglong and Xin Guiyi was written in Chinese and Urdu, so Aurangzeb himself could understand it.

It goes without saying that the content is of course threatening war and asking for a seemingly modest fortune of rice or flour worth four to five million rupees from the war-loving Aurangzeb.

Four to five million rupees is certainly not a small amount, equivalent to more than one million taels of silver.

However, for the empire ruled by Aurangzeb, and for Bengal, which Li Jicheng threatened to invade in his letter, it was not a big number.

After returning from Central Asia, Aurangzeb, who had greatly increased his power, significantly increased taxes. Agricultural taxes were increased from one-third of the harvest to half of the harvest (this was only half in theory, in fact the Timurid Empire

The taxing ability cannot be that powerful)!

In addition, Aurangzeb also significantly increased the customs duties for non-Tibetan merchants (not only import and export duties, but also taxes through customs within the empire).

By increasing taxes, his empire's annual fiscal revenue increased from about 200 million rupees to about 300 million rupees, which is equivalent to 100 million taels of silver (of course, all the actual revenue obtained cannot be silver, and it also includes a large amount of food)!

As the richest province in Aurangzeb's empire, Bengal Province contributed tens of millions of rupees in tax revenue.

If Li Jicheng was really capable of invading Bangladesh and plundering it, how could he only need three to four million rupees? He should have at least ten million rupees...

The wise and wise Emperor Aurangzeb already realized something was wrong after reading Li Jicheng's blackmail letter!

The greedy robber Li Jicheng wanted too little... so little that it was unreasonable!

If it is unreasonable, then there must be a conspiracy! Emperor Aurangzeb quickly figured out the content of Li Jicheng's trick. This bandit king must have wanted to paralyze himself first, and then launch a surprise attack.

Wearing an old white robe, holding an exaggeratedly large-looking sword in both hands, the emperor looked gloomy and scary. He looked at the two envoys of the Dashun Empire with cold and penetrating eyes.

He looked like he was about to kill someone.

Gu Conglong was not afraid at all, and stood there looking at Aurangzeb with dignity.

Xin Guiyi couldn't do it. Aurangzeb was his old master. Although today was the first time he met Aurangzeb, he had already heard about Aurangzeb's cruelty... This man was a tough guy.

The devil whose father kills his brothers!

Moreover, Xin Guiyi is a traitor... He feels guilty!

Now when Aurangzeb glared at him, everyone started to tremble.

There is indeed a conspiracy!

Seeing Xin Guiyi trembling, Aurangzeb already knew what was going on.

The bandit king Li Jicheng is playing tricks again!

"Go back and tell that robber king," Aurangzeb said in urgent Urdu in a threatening voice, "I will not give him a grain of rice or a pinch of flour... Timur

Although the empire is rich, it will not give any property to robbers.

The only thing I can give Li Jicheng are slippers, my slippers!"

Princess Nisha’s slippers have been given away, and all that remains are the old slippers of Emperor Aurangzeb... In the past few years, with the new Central Asian army at his disposal, there have been many small states in India.

I received the slippers!

…

"Your Majesty, do you really want to go to war with the bandits in the east?" The bandit king's envoy was driven out of Aurangzeb's court, but Shasta Khan, the governor of Bengal, did not follow him.

Glancing at the worried Shasta Khan, Aurangzeb sighed softly and whispered: "**** is bringing the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to Delhi... This time the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are bringing

In order to show their sincerity in forming an alliance, they received a large number of new muskets and cannons, as well as the latest explosive ammunition of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there is a treaty waiting for me to sign, which is an alliance we cannot refuse!"

It turned out that Aurangzeb had received a report from the Communist Party and knew that the Ming Emperor wanted to form an alliance with the Timur Empire in India.

"Covenant?" Shesta Khan was a little surprised, "Is it a covenant to deal with the Eastern bandits together?"

"Of course not," said Aurangzeb. "The rogue bandits in the East may be a trouble to us, but they are nothing to mention to the Ming Dynasty... What the Ming Emperor wanted to fight with us were the Westerners, France and the Netherlands.

, and maybe Portugal!

In addition, he also hopes that I can continue to exert influence in Central Asia and recruit more warriors to India in order to reduce the pressure on the Jungar people and the Heshuote people."

It turns out that in the past two years, the three Ming vassal kingdoms of Zhungeer, Heshuote and Dai had not been doing too well on the other side of Central Asia.

On the one hand, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Central Asian Tianfang believers supported by the Rakshasa Kingdom; on the other hand, conflicts arose within the three Ming Dynasty vassal states over the issue of land distribution!

Zhu Cijiong's Dai Kingdom and the Heshuote Kingdom that moved westward occupied the territory that the Junggar Kingdom had worked so hard to conquer. How could there be no conflict between the three?

In addition, after being expelled by Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu, the Heshuote tribe of Uzang took the great lama and ran to Anxi. Now they have arrived in Kashgar and are about to enter the Western Regions.

This makes the already complicated situation in the Western Regions even more complicated!

Zhungeer Kingdom, Heshuote Kingdom, and Dai Kingdom all wanted to get the great lama. But the Ming court hoped that the great lama would stay in Anxi and not go anywhere...

At the same time, Zhu Cihong was also worried that the struggle between Zhungeer, Heshuote and Dai would cause drastic changes in the situation in Central Asia, so he planned to send people to Central Asia to mediate.

He knew that the conflicts among the three parties in Central Asia were ultimately caused by insufficient land distribution. To completely solve them, the only way to solve them was to start from an incremental perspective.

And if you want to get more land, you can only ask Aurangzeb for help... As long as he can send people to recruit thugs in the territories of Zhungar, Heshuote and Dai, the three vassal states of the Ming Dynasty

It would be easy to confuse Aurangzepur and take away a thug. Wouldn't there be one less enemy in Central Asia to oppose the Ming Dynasty's "Three Domains"?

"Your Majesty, if we recruit a large number of Central Asian warriors to India, Central Asia may completely fall into the hands of the Mongols in the east!" Shasta Khan reminded in a low voice.

Aurangzeb nodded and said with a wry smile: "I know, but this is actually good for us!"

"Benefits?" Shesta Khan was stunned, "Your Majesty, but I don't see the benefits?"

"Shesta Khan," Aurangze preached, "how come you have forgotten the origins of the Ghulam warriors and the Mamluk warriors?"

After being reminded by Aurangzeb, Shesta Khan understood Aurangzeb's intention. Aurangzeb wanted to buy slave boys from Central Asia to train his Sudanese Guards!

Aurangzeb smiled bitterly and said: "Long history has shown that only slave warriors trained since childhood are the most reliable weapons in the hands of monarchs like us who believe in the true God! Gulam warriors, Mamluk warriors, Ganeshari

Aren’t the sources of the (Sudanese Guards) soldiers all slave warriors trained since childhood? Aren’t the Central Asian regions that were not completely ruled by the Tianfang Sect the main source of these slave warriors?

The Ottoman Empire can still remain strong today, isn't it because it still has several areas where Christians can recruit Scouts? If the Ottomans forced the Christians there to convert, they would lose the possibility of recruiting slave soldiers (theoretically, the Tianfang Sect

The buying and selling of Tianfang believers as slaves is not allowed, so once the Balkans are greened, the Ottoman Empire will lose the source of slave soldiers), and the Ottoman Empire will long ago cease to exist!

Siesta, now do you know why I am happy to see those Buddhists return to Central Asia? Because only if they return to Central Asia can we have a reliable source of soldiers. With slave soldiers, we can rule the whole, at least most of it
