"Alahu Akbar......

The melodious sound of chanting came from the "Heavenly Sect Power" True God Temple. Located on the outskirts of Delhi, this temple of the true gods is magnificent, solemn and majestic, and exudes the beauty of the Celestial Sect with a sense of strength and conquest. As its name suggests, the temple symbolizes the power of the Celestial Sect – the building materials used to build the temple and the nearby Qutub Pagoda were from 20 Brahmanical temples.

In order to commemorate the victory of the Delhi Sultanate at Tianzhu and to show their strength to the Brahmans of Tianzhu, the Delhi Sultans ordered the demolition of the Brahmin temples near Delhi and used their materials to build temples and towers of the Celestial Sect.

The incumbent Sultan of Delhi, Gias-al-Din. At this time, Balban was in the "Heavenly Sect Force" True God Temple, doing the second of the five daily prayers - "Skishni".

Raising his hands, straightening upright, chanting, bowing, prostrating, kneeling, the pious Sultan finished the whole set of movements of skimming, and then silently chanted, "O God Almighty, the Great God, the only true God, Kafil is coming, more powerful than ever, more powerful than the terrible Mongol White Dead, who have the power of the devil under the banner of the devil, who have defeated the Mongol White Dead, and who have now extended their greedy claws to India, a land that has bathed in the glory of the true God. How shall I, as your devout follower, the Sultan of Delhi, who has been entrusted by Caliph al-Hakim to rule over the land of the five Indias, defeat your enemies and send them all to eternal hell? Is it really an alliance with the Mongol White Dead who killed Caliph Mustaltum and raided the peace of India from time to time? ”

Caliph al-Hakim and the envoy of the Mamluk Sultan Baibers had arrived in Delhi and brought with them letters from the caliph and the Mamluk sultan. Demanded that the Delhi Sultanate and the Mongol Ilkhanate shake hands and make peace. The reason is also explained: the war between the Celestial Cult and the Great Mongols has ended, and the caliph's capital, Baghdad, has been recovered. Moreover, Mongolia and the Celestial Sect already have a common enemy - the Ming Empire from the East!

The empire rose miraculously, as if it were a repeat of the Mongol rise of yesteryear. Only this country has the power of civilization, and Mongolia has the power of barbarism. However, there seems to be no difference between a strong civilization and a strong barbarism in their treatment of backwardness and weakness.

The Chinese, who had been washed by the Mongols with blood and fire, no longer seem to adhere to their centuries-old principle of goodwill with their neighbors. Instead, they broke out with the same desire to conquer the world as the Mongols. And it's already been put into practice! Terrible news came from the East, first Srivijaya, then Java and Champang, and now it was the turn of the Khmer and Bagan and Arakan countries...... These countries have been invaded by the Ming Empire, or destroyed, or reduced to vassals or about to perish!

The army of the Ming Empire seems to be invincible! Both at sea and on land. Nothing seemed to stop them, not even the towering snow-capped mountains - terrible news came from Nepolo in the north, the Ming Empire's vassals of the Tibetan and part of the Han Chinese army had crossed the Himalayan Pass and invaded the Kathmandu Valley under the banner of Buddhism.

Also sending a letter for help was Ibrahim, the Governor of Bangladesh. The kingdom of Arakan bordering Bengal had recently been invaded by Ming troops from the sea, and Chittagong, which bordered Bangladesh, soon fell. After inquiring about the Brahmin merchants who had escaped from Chittagong, it was learned that the Ming troops who arrived in Chittagong by sea were all flying the Buddhist swastika. The number is about 100,000. They were tolerant of Brahmanism, but hostile to the Celestial Sect, and the Celestial community of Jida had been surrounded, with soldiers going from house to house searching for weapons. The famous religious leader was held hostage in the True God Temple under house arrest, and all the Celestial Sect merchants were forbidden to leave. Obviously, these Ming invaders with the banner of 10,000 characters regarded the Delhi Sultanate, which believed in the Heavenly Sect, as an enemy!

Governor Ibrahim also mentions in his letter the vague news that the Ming army was at war with the Kingdom of Bagan somewhere east of Chittagong over ivory. In the end, he won a big victory and grabbed more than 2,000 tusks. It has all been loaded and shipped back to Daming for sale.

Giastin. Balbans didn't quite understand what the "Ivory War" was all about? But one thing is certain, Bagan, a great power in the east, has been defeated by the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that the suzerainty of Arakan will be abandoned. In this way, the Ming Empire gained a springboard for an invasion of the Delhi Sultanate from the east.

Rich Bengal will soon be attacked!

In addition, the invading Ming army did not raise their sun and moon flags, but held aloft the Buddhist swastikas, indicating that they may have colluded with the declining Buddhists here in India.

The war of the Ming invasion of India was also a religious war! It's the same as the conquest of India by the Celestial Sect!

Giastin. The Sultan of Paalban knew that Buddhism was born in India as a sect that split from Brahmanism, and was in some way a reform of Brahmanism. Thus the relationship between the Brahmanical kings and the Buddhist rulers was not irreconcilable. Historically, there have been two dynasties in India, the Mauryan Dynasty and the Baltic Dynasty, in which the monarchs of Buddhism and the people and bureaucrats of Brahmanism can still get along so-so. This is much stronger than that of the Delhi Sultanate.

The Sultan of Palepan was well aware that the basis of his rule was a military aristocracy of Turks, Afghans, and Persians. And there are not many people, that is, with forty military aristocratic families as the core, there are only more than 2,000 Tianfang Sect military nobles who have the fief of "Ikta". Plus tens of thousands of Turkic or Afghan soldiers who believed in the Celestial Religion hired from abroad. It was the foundation of the Delhi Sultanate's rule over India - who would have thought that the Delhi Sultanate, which controlled most of India, would have such a weak foundation!

It is clear that the Delhi Sultanate cannot be sustained by relying solely on more than 2,000 "Iqta" nobles and tens of thousands of foreign mercenaries.

Once a full-scale war with the Ming Empire begins, the lives of the Heavenly Sect warriors will be consumed like flowing water, and perhaps after a few battles, tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed and wounded. And to replenish the losses, it is necessary to go to Afghanistan, to the valley of the two rivers and to hire in the mountains of the Caucasus. The best warriors of the Heavenly Sect came from there, Giastine. The Sultan of Baalban himself was no exception.

"It seems that the wealth of India can only be used to hire warriors from the grasslands, deserts and mountains!"

Giastin. The Sultan of Balban took a deep breath, he finally made up his mind. The Delhi Sultanate is in danger of extinction! If you want to survive, you must have a steady stream of Heavenly Sect mercenaries from abroad.

And those territories that produced mercenaries are currently controlled by the Great Mongolia! So, the Delhi Sultanate could only join forces with the Mongols!

"Give me orders," cried the Sultan in a majestic voice, "and please come in the Mamluk envoy Pu Shou Geng!" ”

……

"Your Majesty, the entire Celestial Sect world will always remember your wisdom and wisdom, and your right choice will spread the truth of the true God to the world in the future."

In the mosque of the "Heavenly Sect Force", Pu Shougeng spoke fluent Persian, and said insincere compliments to the dignified-looking and calm-faced Sultan of Delhi. In any case, this Pu Shougeng did his best to resist the expansion of Ming imperialism.

Under his mediation, an alliance was formed to oppose the Ming Empire, which included the Great Mongols, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Delhi Sultanate, the Marin Sultanate (Moorish), and the Eastern Roman Empire. With millions of elite warriors and a population of nearly 10,000,000, the land is extremely vast, spanning more than 10,000 miles from east to west, enough to resist the alliance of the Roman Ecumenical Church and the Ming Empire.

"Compliments alone won't help my Delhi Sultanate!" Giastin. The Sultan of Palepan shook his head slightly, "The Delhi Sultanate needs real assistance, because India has been invaded by a violent man, and Arakan has fallen. Neporo will soon change hands. In the mountainous northwestern mountains of India, the Ladakhis also unfurled the swastika. My country, under siege on three sides, is in dire need of assistance! ”

"The Caliph has declared a holy war, and soon there will be Celestial Cult warriors coming to India......"

"It's useless!" Giastin. With a wave of his hand, the Sultan of Balban interrupted, "The Divine Warriors didn't stop the Mongols back then, and today they can stop the Tyrant?" I want real warriors, from the Caucasus, Afghanistan or the Kipchak steppes, trained to believe in God. Just like me! It takes a lot, the more the merrier! ”

Pu Shougeng had already received the promise of Kublai Khan and Abha, and he smiled and nodded, "There is no problem, the Great Khan and Aba Khan allow you to recruit warriors in Afghanistan, and as for the Kipchak steppe and the Caucasus Mountains, your people can also go immediately." In addition, I have brought some H-drug weapons that can restrain the Tyrants, which can be used as samples for your craftsmen. I also brought the formula of H medicine ......"

"Oh? Also brought H drug weapons and H drug recipes? "Giastin. A smile finally appeared on the face of the Sultan of Balban. He had already heard of the power of the H Medicine weapon, and he had obtained some through special channels. But I didn't get the formula for H medicine.

"That's right, H medicine is actually very easy to prepare, you only need saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal." Pu Shougeng smiled and bent down to salute, "With H medicine, His Majesty the Sultan's army will definitely be even stronger!" I wish Your Majesty an early defeat of the invading Tyrant and the unification of the five Indian kingdoms! (To be continued......)
