Chapter 731: The Mongolian Empire

While the Ming and Dashun families were busy "carving up" the Indochina Peninsula, a Spanish sailing ship carrying the Qing envoy had arrived at Surat Port, the largest port in the Mongolian Empire.

This is an inland port located on the right bank of the mouth of the Tapti River. It is a port city with a very long history and rich products.

Sony, one of the five ministers visiting Europe, was standing on the forecastle of the sailboat at this time, looking at the exotic city in front of him, and asked Cavalie next to him in blunt Japanese (Japanese).

Luo: "Justice, are we in Europe?"

He has been at sea for months!

Spain, the world empire, has too many enemies. It would be better to go to the Pacific Ocean, where there are no other European powers for the time being. However, Caballero arranged for the five ministers of the Qing Dynasty to go from Malacca to the Indian Ocean, with the Dutch and Portuguese along the way.

A Spanish colonial stronghold. A Spanish ship must be careful, otherwise it may be sunk by the black-hearted Dutch and Portuguese.

Therefore, they did not reach the shore a few times along the way, and they did not dare to stay long after they reached the shore. After replenishing fresh water and food, they continued on their way.

The five ministers who have never been to the sea have all suffered. The worst one is Fan Yongdou. He is already an old man. How can his body withstand the torture? Now he is lying flat and motionless, and is about to die!

When Sony thought of Lao Fan, he sighed: But it's okay, we've finally arrived.

"No, no, this is not Europe." Caballero said, "This is the port of Surat in the Mongol Empire."

"Mongol Empire" Sony was stunned, and he couldn't even speak "Japanese", "Mongolia? You mean Mongolia?"

Caballero also learned Chinese from Sony and could speak a little bit. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's Mongolia!"

“Genghis Khan’s Mongolia?”

"Yes, yes, this is Mongolia!" Caballero nodded seriously, "We have arrived in Mongolia!"

It’s over! Sony said in his heart: This Japanese is so seasick that he’s going crazy. Where did the sea come from in Mongolia?

"This is really the Mongol Empire!" Caballero looked at the expression on Sony's face and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the purpose of coming to the Mongol Empire, I would have let this sailing ship sail across the Pacific Ocean.

Minister Suo, do you think there is only one Mongolia in the world?"

Sony was stunned, "Is there a second Mongolia?"

Caballero nodded and pointed to the busy port in front of him: "This is the Second Mongolia! It was established by Babur the Great, the sixth grandson of Timur the Great, after he conquered northwest India 120 years ago. This is

Emperor Babur named the country he founded the Mongol Empire!"

Sony and the others arrived in a country that was later called the Mughal Empire. However, "Mughal" actually means Mongolia in Persian, so the correct name of the Mughal Empire is the Mongol Empire!

However, later historians used the name Mughal Empire in order to distinguish the Mongol Empire in India from the Great Mongol Kingdom.

But Caballero deliberately highlighted the "Mongol concept" of the Mughal Empire. The reason is very simple. Emperor Shunzhi was the Mongolian Erzhasak Khan!

And Sony and other five ministers, the Mongolian Khan, sent a mission.

Now that the envoy of the Mongol Khan has arrived in the Mongol Empire, can the Emperor Shah Jahan of the Mongol Empire treat him well?

Shunzhi was the Great Khan of Mongolia, and Shah Jahan was the Emperor of Mongolia. We are all "descendants" of Genghis Khan and are relatives. Emperor Shah Jahan was so happy when his relatives from Mongolia sent people from so far away!

Should the two Mongols establish a friendly and mutually supportive relationship? You don’t care about God’s face, you also have to care about Genghis Khan’s face!

Once the two Mongols become friendly, then the Spanish Empire, which bridges the gap between the two Mongols, will of course gain two friends. If it can go a step further and promote the three-imperial alliance of the Spanish Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the Qing Empire, then Spain will decline.

The momentum may be reversed.

Sony also understood, "Justice, do you want us to visit the Mongolian Emperor of Tianzhu in the name of the Mongol Khan's envoy?"

Caballero smiled and said: "Isn't the emperor of the Qing Dynasty the Mongol Khan? In the West, two countries can share the emperor. I think you should name the Mongolian Erzhasak Khan and the envoy of the Qing emperor

to meet the Mongols in India.”

"Yes, yes, yes, write a letter of credence in Mongolian!" Caballero said, "Minister Suo, do you understand Mongolian?"

"I understand, of course I understand!"

Sony's knowledge is very great, and he is proficient in five languages: Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Japanese! Writing a certificate of credence in Mongolian is of course a piece of cake.

But the problem is that Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mongol Empire here in India, does not know Mongolian writing.

In the majestic and magnificent Jahangir Mahal Palace in Agra, the capital of the Mongol Empire in India, Shah Jahan, the Emperor of the Mongol Empire and the shadow of God on earth, is gazing at the unfinished Taj Mahal through a window

, the white and graceful mausoleum stands on the plain not far from Jahangir Mahal Palace.

Since Taj Mahal from Persia died of puerperal fever, Shah Jahan often stood in front of the window overlooking the Taj Mahal construction site, watching with his own eyes what is said to be the most luxurious mausoleum in the world.

It was built bit by bit.

Of course, he was just infatuated and did not neglect government or military affairs because of this.

Taj Mahal passed away in 1631. It has been 19 years now. Shah Jahan continued his brutal military expansion in these 19 years. Not only did he expand his territory in India, he also continued to attack the power of Hindu princes.

He also engaged in a long-term tug-of-war with the Safavid dynasty of Iran, and captured Kandahar in 1638. In 1646, he even launched a war against the Uzbek Khanate like crazy, and successively captured the Uzbek Khanate in

Badakhshan and Balkh in northern Afghanistan, and then he sent his third son Aurangzeb to continue to lead the army northward and entered the desolate mountains and grasslands of Central Asia. Jahan's goal was his ancestors in Central Asia

Hometowns of Samarkand and Bukhara.

However, the war finally suffered a disastrous defeat due to a stalemate in 1648 and the inability to maintain logistical supplies.

Subsequently, the Safavid dynasty of Iran took the opportunity to counterattack and recaptured Kandahar at the time of the new defeat of the Indo-Mongol Empire.

Shah Jahan did not give up after suffering defeat and launched a counterattack against Kandahar in 1649, but was defeated again.

Shah Jahan, unwilling to accept defeat, is now preparing for his second counterattack against Kandahar.

"Father! Father! The Mongolian envoy has arrived in Surat."

Shah Jahan suddenly heard the voice of his son Murad Bakshi in his ears. He looked back and saw his fourth son, Murad, who served as the naval governor (commander of the Mongol Empire Navy) in Surat.

Bakshi was standing behind him in a dusty manner, holding a silk scroll in his hand.

"What did you say?" Shah Jahan asked.

"The Mongol envoy arrived in Surat."

"Mongolia? Isn't that what others call us wrong?"

Murad Bakshi smiled and said: "It's not us, it's the Great Mongolia on the northern grasslands! The Great Khan of the Great Mongolia heard that there was a Mongol Empire in India, so he sent envoys from thousands of miles away."

"Isn't the Great Mongol Kingdom already there?" Shah Jahan was a little unsure.

"Father, the envoy of the Great Mongolia said that the Great Mongolia has been revived and re-invaded Dadu six years ago. It now rules half of China, Eastern Mongolia, Mongolia proper and Mongolia."

"Is this true?" Shah Jahan was a little unbelievable. He knew that his son was a bit silly and easy to deceive, so he asked, "You won't be deceived, will you?"

"No," Murad Baksh said, "They also sent a letter of credence. I have read it and it is written in Mongolian characters."

Shah Jahan was stunned, "Do you know Mongolian characters?"
