Military intelligence on the Delhi area is constantly being sent to the Marbury State...... The expansion of the Maburi State was soon made known to the Sultan of Delhi.

The Marbury State army could conceal their military training, however, they could not conceal large-scale recruitment...... Due to the development of commerce, there are too many people in the north and south of the Tianzhu Continent, and it is impossible to completely block the fine work sent by the other party.

The Delhi region is located on an easy stretch of the Jumuna River to the south, protected by rolling hills to the south, the Himalayas to the north and the Thar Desert of Rajasthan to the west, and the Ganges River basin to the east that runs deep into the central plain of Tianzhu.

The terrain of the whole area of Delhi is generally flat and low-lying, although the drainage is somewhat poor.

The Delhi area can be said to exist in the main road from the Tianzhu River Basin to the Ganges River Basin, and occupies an important position in transportation and strategy, and has been an important town in the northern part of Tianzhu since ancient times.

This excellent location has allowed successive sultans to worry about the security of Delhi.

The average temperature in January is 14.0 °C, 34.0 °C in May ~ June, the highest temperature can reach more than 45 °C, and the annual precipitation is 715 mm, of which the monsoon rain in July ~ September accounts for 66% of the annual precipitation.

As early as the 1st century BC, Raja Dilu of the Mauryan Empire built the city and named it Delhi.

It was not until 1206 that the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate's slave dynasty, Ibak, established the Delhi Sultanate there.

It was now ruled by the 9th Sultan of the Slave Dynasty, the decrepit Giasdin Balban.

Under the Sultan, there was also a group of forty military elites, each of whom was in charge of the army of the slave dynasty, and was stationed in the northern towns of the whole country to guard against the southward movement of Tatar bandits, and at the same time to quell the rebellion in the country.

These forty people are basically the military elite group of the slave dynasty and have a certain right to speak.

If they were to speak together, the decrepit Sultan Giestisdin Balban would have to obey as well.

The sons of the old sultan were weaker and weaker than the other, and were not at all favored by the military elites.

The most powerful of the elite was General Firuz Kargi, who had hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry under his command.

All of them profess **** religion...... **** religion, and the theologian Ulema also has considerable religious power.

This time, the demand for the submission of the Maburi State to the south was put forward by General Firuz Kargi, and was strongly supported by the military elite.

Without the pressure of the Tatar bandits for the time being, the military elite needs military operations to show their strength and gain more wealth.

They believed that the decrepit civil and religious aristocracy had too much wealth in their hands, while the new military elite was too poor to expand their power...... It's not commensurate with who they are!

Only war can make the military elite stronger......

The sudden prosperity of the Marbury kingdom in the southern region of Tianzhu was the best reason for war that God had given them.

As a result, the military elite of forty people asked the Sultan to allow them to wage war...... The Sultan and the other civil servants had to agree.

The political system and ruling policy of the Delhi Sultanate were originally to implement the **** system of the Delhi Sultanate.

The Sultan ruled according to the Sharia, a code of Shariah as explained by the Christian theologian Ulema...... He is not only the head of state, but also the supreme patriarch of the **** sect, combining monarchy and divine power.

The central government of the Sudan as a whole has 36 ministries.

The chief minister of the central government, "Wazir", was nominally in charge of the ministries, but in reality only managed the finances.

Together with the Governor of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Minister of Religion and Justice, and the Confidential Secretary and Minister of Intelligence, he became the four pillars of the Sudanese state.

In addition, the Delhi Sultanate established a system of provincial local government, which was ruled by local military elite families.

But as Sultan Gias-al-Din Balban aged, the military elite grew stronger...... Their voice is getting bigger and bigger.

This was the case with the conquest of the South...... Although the decrepit Sultan Gias-al-Din Balban and the Christian theologian Ulema did not approve of the war to conquer the south at this time.

The reason here is simple.

The Delhi Sultan is actually the first **** empire in the history of Tianzhu established by the Turks who have long accepted the **** religion.

Since the establishment of the government, these Turkic nobles have spread the **** religion through military conquest, and their policies are far more radical than when the Hui people preached.

During the period of expansion of the Hui Empire, the people of the conquered lands were able to retain their faith as long as they paid a tax on people, and it is clear that they were far better at religious tolerance than the Christian countries.

But the behavior of the Delhi Sultan, established by the Turks, in the northern part of Tianzhu was very different!

They burned, looted, destroyed Buddhist monasteries and Tianzhu temples, and forced heretics to accept the "religion of the prophets."

Buddhism and Tianzhu Sect were hit hard at the same time,

The Turks who believe in **** religion are killed from the left and from the right...... The conquered people will either accept the **** religion, or they will only have the way to death.

Many Tianzhu and Buddhist monasteries were looted and burned, and mosques were built on their original sites.

But this kind of burning, killing and looting seemed to have dealt a greater blow to Buddhism, because Buddhism was mainly concentrated in a few prosperous areas of Northern Tianzhu and Eastern Tianzhu at this time, and the Turks could completely destroy Buddhist monasteries and wipe out the living force of Buddhism as long as they occupied these areas.

The temples of the Tianzhu Sect are all over Tianzhu, from big cities to small villages, and the Turks cannot control every city and village in Tianzhu, so naturally they cannot eradicate what they think is a cult.

More importantly, the philosophical ideas and social program of the Tianzhu Sect had penetrated into every corner of the Tianzhu Sect society and the top and bottom of the local nobility of Tianzhu, and it seemed that any foreign ruler would have to use the Tianzhu Sect to control the Tianzhu region.

Although Buddhism had a great influence on Tianzhu society, it was far less deep and extensive than Tianzhu Buddhism, so it was easy for the Turks to defeat it in one fell swoop, causing Buddhism to go away.

Therefore, the decrepit Sultan Gias-al-Din Balban and the *** religious theologian Ulema and others believe that it is still a period to continue to destroy the Tianzhu Sect and completely suppress the rebellion of the Tianzhu Sect in various places, if the Tianzhu Sect can be allowed to go away like Buddhism...... The Delhi Sultan can be regarded as truly occupying the entire Tianzhu region, which can remain unchanged for ten thousand years.

This plan differed from the demands of General Firuz Kargi and others...... What the military elite group wants is wealth and strength, and they don't want to run back and forth to quell the rebellion of dozens or hundreds of Tianzhu peasants, which can only be a loss of their strength, but let the civil officials sit on the throne with the A. and the Emperors, and let them take the opportunity to occupy more land.

The Sultan of Delhi now divides the land on a much larger scale.

The Sultan bestowed the conquered Tianzhu land to the magnates of the ***** groups with military merits, as well as the Qing and mosque and imams in the form of Iqta, which is the military merit field and Wakfu, which is the Qing Dynasty, and the imam of the Qing Dynasty, as their military feudal fiefdom and religious property.

The military elite who owned the "Iqta" was called "Iqtadar", and the largest "Iqtadar" was called "Mukti", and the fiefdom could be as many as one or even several provinces.

However, to the displeasure of the military aristocracy, Iktadar possessed his fiefdom only for the rest of his life, and it had to be returned to the Sultan after his death, and the Sultan also retained the right to take back and replace the fief!

Therefore, the military elite must expand themselves through foreign wars...... Everything is for a reason......
