The Mughal Empire was a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India by Babur, a descendant of the Turkicized Mongol Timur, and at its peak, the empire encompassed almost the entire South Asian subcontinent and Afghanistan. The superstructure of the Mughal Empire was the Green Religion, while the foundation was the Cult of the Three Brothers, and Persian was the language of the court, public affairs, diplomacy, literature, and high society.

For example, the Mughal Empire is the equivalent of the Yuan Dynasty in Chinese history in India, where the Mongols ruled the Han Chinese, a regime ruled by outsiders, and was unorthodox.

The current Emperor Shah Jahan, the Mughal Empire's unprecedentedly powerful and vast territory, built the world-famous Taj Mahal for his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal (a Persian, legend has it that her skin was as beautiful as glass, who died in childbirth, and was the mother of the famous Emperor Aurangzeb).

What the hell is the Taj Mahal needs no introduction.

The Red Fort in Delhi was also built during his reign, and is a huge castle made of reddish-brown sandstone, with high walls and an extraordinary atmosphere, and the construction has just begun. Hong Xiguan and his entourage sailed in the coastal areas of the Mughal Empire and received a warm welcome!

The warships of the Southeastern Fleet made the Mughals in awe!

Originally, only Hongmaofan had such powerful gunboats in the world, but now there are more Chinese gunboats with such guns, with excellent training and many firearms.

The Chinese look very spiritual, well-dressed, and very rich!

If they come from afar, have great force points, have money, and have no ill will, then everyone will respect them and don't want to cause trouble!

Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect those local leopards who want to "do a vote!" ”

The visiting fleet from the southeastern province sailed along the continent of Asan, and the magistrate sent Pegasus Express to the imperial capital Delhi to express the goodwill of the Chinese, and Emperor Shah Jahan was very happy and sent the minister of court affairs Najabi to the Pasain region on the west coast of the mainland (close to Bombay) to wait for the arrival of the Chinese fleet.

As a result of the previous appointment, Najabi joined the Chinese fleet (almost a month after the sailing of the Rising Sun Harbor) and treated the Chinese with great hospitality!

The luxury of the Mughal court displayed by Nejabi impressed Hong Xiguan, who was from a great aristocratic background, with a large head, a large beard, a huge head, no neck, a fat waist, and ten fingers full of dazzling gemstone rings, which made the old officers in the fleet want to return to their old jobs and do a good job!

Isn't it hot to wear ---- made of brightly colored brocades, prints, and soft cotton cloths for his daily clothes?

The place is very cool, and there are people fanning it, so that the southeastern officers are also stained, their staple food is the nutritious meat rice with spices, and they are very particular about choosing the best mutton parts to make this dish: the soft and lean ribs are carefully trimmed to the fat and cartilage around the meat chops, for fear that a trace of residue will tarnish the pure taste of the raw materials; Finely chop the lean meat and marinate it with lemon and onion juice, this step makes the meat smooth and soft and melts in your mouth;

Within seconds of cooking the meat over a charcoal fire, the meat is plated and served, and the roasted meat is put together in stacks of steaming fragrant rice, garnished with tomatoes on the edges; It is accompanied by a small piece of butter, sprinkled with a generous amount of sumac (red spice powder, sour and slightly fruity), and served with a raw egg yolk.

They were particular about enjoyment, using lean lamb, veal, venison, lean beef, and poultry for processing, and then using turmeric, cinnamon, saffron, sumak powder, and chopped dried mint, plus spices/seasonings such as pepper and nutmeg to taste, accompanied by a variety of fruits, and the southeastern officers ate their mouths full of oil!

The Mughal Empire was very generous, not only did the Chinese officers have to eat, but also sent a lot of meat to the warships for the soldiers to enjoy, and later the visiting officers and soldiers agreed that the best region/country to eat on the circumnavigation voyage was the Mughal Empire!

Under the shade of the sea, covered with exquisite carpets and cool breezy seats, Nejabi and Hong Xiguan each leaned on a thick back cushion, Hong Xiguan had already taken off his military uniform and was dressed in the clothes of a Mughal court nobleman.

In addition to them, there are several high-ranking officers of the Southeast Army who are dressed in the same clothes as him, and they have all become the Chinese version of the three pots.

There were many accompanying guests, all of whom were magistrates and local wealthy merchants, and everyone sat on the carpet to eat, which was a Persian way of eating.

"My friend, I can't bear to leave you!" Hong Xiguan said sincerely.

Good food and good accommodation, high-quality gifts to consume, and beautiful women to eat, Hong Xiguan really has a feeling of not wanting to be happy.

When you come to Sanguo's home, how can you have less singing and dancing, you must know that Sanguo dances 2 times without saying a word!

In the case of those local buns in the southeast province, they read a lot of books and saw little singing and dancing, and those exotic songs and dances simply fascinated them!

The dance of the Sanguo family, the dancing girl is outstanding, the dancing posture is beautiful and moving, fascinating, and the eyes are hooked when dancing, which is simply incomparable!

The beauties who came out to appear belonged to the Brahmin and Kshatriya classes of the Sanguo family, with a high nose and deep eyes, fair complexion, and a figure that was extremely marked by dancing!

Temptation is everywhere, and Najabi is very generous and wants to give a group of dancers to the visiting guests!

was so frightened that Hong Xiguan hurriedly excused himself, but he still chose a beautiful dancer and had a story with her.

The host is so gracious, but we are disrespectful!

The intermediary behavior was authorized by the military department, considering that the officers and men on the ship were far from home and needed to release their desires, but in general, similar behaviors were prohibited by the Southeast Army outside the country.

If it weren't for the regulations of the visiting fleet, they were not allowed to stay in one place for more than a week unless they had to repair the ship, for example, for unavoidable reasons, and Hong Xiguan really wanted to stay any longer.

Hearing the words of Hong Xiguan, who had been translated, Nejabi also said sincerely: "I can't bear you either, my friend!" ”

Of course, I am reluctant, come out for a trip, and Nejabi will receive filial piety from all over the world!

He was instructed by the emperor to make sure that his guests were satisfied, and that he would entertain the visiting Chinese at any cost, and make a lot of money from it!

There were about 700 Chinese visitors, and they ate the food of 5,000 people in one meal, for example, 10 people ate a sheep, and 350 sheep in one meal...... How big does it take to eat this special M?!

Tonight was a farewell banquet for the visiting Chinese, and on behalf of the emperor, Najabi gave a gift of almost 50,000 Spanish silver dollars, half of which actually belonged to him......

You say, how could Najabi not like such Chinese!

Not only did he gain a lot of money, but he also got a lot of political assets:

The Southeast Mansion presented the Supreme Emperor with exquisite silk, porcelain, fine tea, toffee, cigarettes and rum!

The "Friendship and Trade Agreement" signed by the two parties stipulates that both sides will set up commercial pavilions in their respective territories, actively develop bilateral trade, and give each other preferential tariffs.

In fact, this is a unilateral export treaty, and if you don't count gold, silver and copper, the Mughal Empire has almost no goods worth exporting to the southeastern province and the Ming Dynasty, but the Chinese goods continue to flow into the Mughal Empire, taking their gold and silver!

Over the years, the southeast province has vigorously developed the economy, and the prototype of the "world factory" has appeared, and the goods produced together with the Ming Dynasty have begun to hang the world!

But Najabi doesn't care, as long as there is a commodity circulation, these upper classes are good.

This time, Major Zhao Jun's cruiser, who was traveling with the visiting fleet, was withdrawn from the formation and asked him to bring the agreement back to Rising Sun City.

Early the next morning, Nejabi bid farewell to the visiting fleet from the Southeast Province on the dock, and the two sides said goodbye.

Back in the cabin, Hong Xiguan began to write a report, he didn't have time to write it before, and he had to admit that the strange three pots were funny!
