The sound of footsteps reached the ears of Aurangzeb the Great, and at this time there were only two people who could walk directly behind the Emperor without notice, one was his favorite eldest daughter, Zebu. Kindness. Nissa, one is his most trusted Vazir (Prime Minister) Shesta Khan.

"Is it Nissa?" Aurangzeb opened his mouth, and his voice was very soft.

"No, Your Majesty Alamgil (conqueror of the world), it's me, your loyal servant Shesta. Sweat. ”

It was a somewhat old voice that belonged to Aurangzeb's uncle, Shesta. Khan, the Ajman buried in the Taj Mahal. Banu's younger brother. The old gentleman and his father Assaf. The Khans were all important ministers of the Timurid dynasty in India, and all of them held the position of Wazir.

"Oh, it's you!" Aurangzeb's voice was once again cold and harsh, terrifying. As he spoke, Aurangzeb stood up with his hands on the ground, then turned to look at his most trusted minister.

Elderly Shesta. Khan stood respectfully in front of the very tall, but scrawny emperor, bent over, head bowed, and looked trembling.

Rangzeb was one such formidable Indian emperor – he killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and after seizing power, became an ascetic, refusing to eat, dress, or please his wives (he did not even have four wives in the Qur'an).

As the second richest emperor in the world (Zhu Cihong is the richest in Zhu, and Aurangzeb is the second richest in Zhu), he eats some vegetables and bread every day, and makes himself hungry and skinny. Then all entertainment such as music and painting was banned, and the splendid palaces were painted with white paint.

After no food and drink, no pleasure, and no womanhood, the ascetic emperor began to take pleasure in tossing and killing people.

Unlike his ancestors who liked to live a so-so life, Aurangzeb was a very serious and rigid man, with no room for sand in his eyes - the problem of being too serious before becoming emperor was not serious, but after becoming emperor, his condition worsened, and he was about to become terminally ill. But not his terminal illness, but the terminal illness of his subordinates and subjects!

Living under him, you must be careful, otherwise it will be easy to die!

"Your Majesty Alamgir, Mir of Bengal. Governor Jumla sent a report that the Kingdom of Arakan had been destroyed by the Shun Empire of China. The imperial grandson of the Shun Empire personally led his troops into the city of Myaowu and captured the royal family of Arakan alive. ”

"Oh." Aurangzeb answered, and then asked, "What about Chittagong?" Captured by the imperial grandson of the Shun Empire? ”

"No," Shesta. Khan replied, "The emperor seems unwilling to enter into conflict with our Timurid Empire in India, so he sent a mission to Bengal in the hope of obtaining His Majesty's consent before marching into Chittagong." ”

"That'...... Did the crown prince of the Shun Empire believe in the true gods? Aurangzeb asked.

"Don't believe it," Shesta. Khan said, "He is a Buddhist. ”

In fact, Li Jicheng did not believe in Buddhism, but in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. However, in order to win over the Buddhist forces in Myanmar (the Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia are very powerful in temples, and temples are the core of people's organization and mobilization), Li Jicheng still has to package himself as a Buddhist believer and the protection of Buddhism.

"Still," Shesta. Khan also said, "The envoy of the imperial grandson to Mir. Governor Jumla pledged to implement freedom of religion or belief in Chittagong......"

"Humph!" Aurangzeb snorted.

What he hated most was freedom! Freedom of religion in particular! He, a monarch, is reluctant to eat, wear, or ask for more wives, in order to save money to transform India, which has been messed up by various sects?

What he wants to pursue is an India that strictly abides by the rules and precepts of the Heavenly Sect - that is, to use the same set that Cromwell did in England in India!

If this thing is going to succeed, India will rise!

"Your Majesty Alamgil, are you going to refuse the peace of the Shun Empire?" Shesta. Khan asked.

"No!" Aurangzeb said, "I just hate freedom...... But it is obvious that our main enemy is not the Shun Empire, but the Jungar Kingdom in the north! ”

"His Majesty Aramgil......" Shesta. Khan was a little nervous, "Actually, we have achieved our goal, we have recovered Samarkand, and we have recruited more than 50,000 brave soldiers who believe in the true God, they are the source of our strength. Now we just have to bring them back to India, and the small countries of the Deccan Plateau will soon be crushed by your wrath, and the whole of India will be prostrate at your feet. ”

As a Puritan emperor, Aurangzeb certainly knew that India's opulence and looseness would corrode the spirit of the imperial nobility and warriors – this was the main reason why the Timurid Empire was gradually weakening militarily!

The reason why Aurangzeb became a Celestial Puritans was also because he hoped to reinvigorate the fighting spirit of the nobles and warriors by leading by example.

Of course, it is probably easier and more effective to directly pull people from Central Asia and Afghanistan to fight in India than to transform the spirit of the nobles and warriors of the Celestial Sect in India...... Don't look at the Marathi people making a lot of fun under the leadership of their hero Sivaji, but if there are really 50,000 Heavenly Fang Sect warriors from Central Asia entering India, the Marathis will not be able to resist it!

Shesta, who was once raided by the Sivaji during the war against the Marathas, lost his beloved son. Of course, Khan didn't want Aurangzeb to entangle with the fierce Dzungars in Central Asia, and if he had this momentum, he might as well pull 50,000 elite soldiers of the Heavenly Sect back to India - they are all Heavenly Sect disciples who grew up in Central Asia! It's very good to fight!

"No!" Aurangzeb shook his head, "50,000 people are not enough...... If I want to unify India and hold Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Samarkand firmly in my hands, I need at least 150,000 warriors from the rivers and the Kipchak steppes!

It was with them that my ancestors easily conquered Afghanistan, then India, and became the emperor of Hindustan.

Now, I need them too! Needed a lot, a lot ......"

The people on this side of Afghanistan are very fierce! This time, in order to pass through Afghanistan, Aurangzeb had to throw a lot of coins and rely on spending money to buy roads to successfully enter the riverine area.

But once the fierce Afghans encounter the murderers from the rivers and the Kipchak steppe, they will only be beaten!

It's always been like this in history!

Aurangzeb's ancestors were no exception, the Uzbeks who came from the Kipchak steppe were beaten in the middle of the river, and when they turned back to Afghanistan, they were conquerors, and if they attacked India, they would be emperors!

"Kezungar ......" Shesta. Khan looked very uneasy.

The state of Bukhara was actually defeated by the Dzungars, and the soldiers of the Hir Khanate from Khorezm also did some work, and the Bukhara castle was fought down by them, and Aurangzeb picked up a ready-made!

Aurangzeb spat out and said: "Now the Dzungars have gone against the grain and have committed the wrath of the people, the Khivans, the Kazakhs, the Bukharas, the Turkmens, the Tajiks...... There are even the Rakshasas of the north, who hate them. We really took advantage of this opportunity to unite all the people against the Dzungars. ”

"You want to go to war?" Shesta. The sweat was already covered in sweat.

Because he knew that not all of them were against the Jungars, and the Ming Empire in the East was still the strongest backer of the Jungars.

"No," Aurangzeb shook his head, "war is a last resort...... I hope that the kingdom of Dzungar will submit to the Timurid Empire and convert to the true God. ”

"Your Majesty......" Shesta. Khan looked at his emperor in horror.

Aurangzeb said with a blank face: "If the king of the monks is willing to become a vassal of the Timurid Empire, I am willing to give my most beautiful daughter Zebu. Kindness. If Nissa marries him, she can also give him an allowance of 10 million rupees a year! ”
