Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 556 Anti-Mugal Alliance
Daming has actually maintained a very strong sense of presence in the entire subcontinent.

Once the dynasty defeated the Mughal Empire 20 years ago, Wu Min continued to defeat the troops sent by the Mughals in the subsequent wars, and basically all of them were massacres. He raised more than 6 troops, led by a Mughal deputy king, but was easily defeated by the Meng Buran army.

Later, the Mughals followed the path of the Europeans, buying weapons from the French, the British, and even the Italians to form a new army to suppress the endless uprisings, but they did not try to retake the rich Bengal.

The Mughal Empire is now at a turning point from prosperity to decline, and its emperor Aurangzeb is a guy with a great desire for power and great ambitions.He calls himself "Aram Gir" which means conqueror of the world.This is a title that the Emperor Guangfu of the Ming Dynasty never claimed, but Aurangzeb grandiosely believed that he was the strongest on earth, so this Mughal emperor was also a character that the tabloids of the Ming Dynasty liked to make fun of, and he was a clear representative of contemporary Yelang's arrogance.

The reason why the Mughal Empire was able to quickly establish its hegemony in India during the previous generations of emperors is that the important pillar of the empire is actually the policy of religious tolerance.However, during the period of Aurangzeb, the empire reached its peak state, and Aurangzeb began to vigorously suppress other religions, including the establishment of a series of discriminatory regulations, the restoration of the poll tax for Hindus, and the increase of business taxes for Hindus , Hindus are not allowed to ride horses and elephants, etc., which makes Hindus and even other believers very angry and rise up.

Bai Mingxiu arrived late at the residence of the ambassador of comfort in Dhaka.There are already some people waiting here who may come in handy next.

The consolation envoy Wu Min came to Bai Mingxiu, and after saluting, he explained to him: "The people who came here today, including the Sikh 'guru' Govind Singh, and the leader of the Jats, Maharaja, as well as high-level or liaison persons of various religions and ethnicities in several other areas."

Bai Mingxiu glanced at Wu Min and asked, "Did you recruit all the rebels in India? How long have you been doing this?"

Wu Min smiled: "Basically, when I came to Bangladesh, I started to prepare for these things. I thought it would be useful sooner or later. We funded almost all the rebel forces of the Mughal Empire, and the more important ones were the Sikhs and Jat people, we actually had some contacts with Maratha people, Mysore people and Hyderabad people at the beginning, but their power has become bigger and bigger, they have their own independent status, and they will also be our targets in the future."

By the time he said this, Bai Mingxiu had already entered this fairly spacious conference hall.

The Mughal rebel alliance waiting here immediately stood up and saluted His Majesty the Emperor Guangfu with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. Their etiquette was very standard. It is obvious that they have done a lot of preparation and practice for this audience. up.

Bai Mingxiu said, "Hi everyone, please take a seat."

As the concierge, Wu Min was the host of the meeting. He said: "I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, came to Dhaka with the intention of governing Nanxia so that the people of Nanxia can enjoy peace and stability, end wars and destruction, and let Nanxia stand in a civilized manner. in the world."

The Sikh Guru Singh lowered his head and bowed to Bai Mingxiu: "Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for giving us such honor and luck to meet you. The most powerful and wise monarch on this continent, you are the leader of God. The gift to the world is that you make China prosperous, save the people from cruelty, and make people live and work in peace and contentment. Your excellence and virtuousness amaze all the souls in the world."

The Guru is the religious and organizational leader of the Sikhs. The Guru of the previous generation was killed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, which aroused great resistance from the Sikhs.The new Guru Singh was thus prepared to transform the Sikhs into a religious group with military significance to fight the Mughals.He created the title of Singh, which actually means warrior, and later became a very important surname in India.However, the Sikhs belonged to a very small minority in the Mughal Empire, and their strength was not strong. Although they were very brave, their bravery could not bring them victory.

The Sikhs are a religious nation, that is, a nation born of religion. They are Sikhs born of the Hindu Reformation. They mostly live in the Punjab region and were formed in the 16th century.Since the rulers of the Mughal Empire had the habit of wrapping their heads, they asked other ethnic groups not to wrap their heads.The Sikhs, on the other hand, insisted on wrapping their heads and stiffened their necks to the end.Until the era before Bai Mingxiu traveled, the Sikhs were still Baotou.

Many Sikhs joined the army, and they were the most active in the British and Indian colonies, and were even widely used in other British colonies.Later, the "red-headed assam" that the Chinese jokingly called as security guards and policemen were actually Sikhs.

The Jats on the other side actually had a similar fate to the Sikhs.The Jats belong to an ethnic group with ambiguous caste status and are often described as relegated Kshatriyas.Their religion depends on where they live, and most of them are nomads and small farming landowners with a certain fighting capacity.During the Mughal period, the Jats revolted frequently.

Maharaja quickly said to Bai Mingxiu: "We Jat people have admired Daming for a very long time. Daming has ruled Bangladesh for 20 years. We have witnessed the prosperity of this area and felt the dignity that Ming gave to the local people. Unlike the brutal and oppressive Mughal Empire, we Jat people sincerely hope to become the people of Ming Dynasty and to be loyal to His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Bai Mingxiu smiled slightly, and glanced at Wu Min beside him.

"Very well, I have already felt your intentions."

Wu Min took over the words at this time and announced: "The crusade is being organized. By then, the Ming Dynasty's invincible army will sweep across the entire Southern Xia, and the fate of the Sikhs and Jats will also change."

Singer hurriedly said: "We Sikhs are willing to fight for the emperor! To form our Sikh army, as long as His Majesty the Emperor can give us Ming's equipment and guide our training, we will definitely win victory for Daming."

Maharaja also expressed the same meaning.

Bai Mingxiu smiled and said: "Very well, you can send people to Bangladesh to receive formal training from the Daming Army here. I will establish a special Sikh Infantry Regiment and Jat Infantry Regiment. The command authority is in the Indian Ocean Theater of the Ming Dynasty. As a relevant person, you cannot interfere with the military. When the Ming Dynasty’s Indian Joint Propaganda Leader is established, you will be given corresponding areas and establish administrative units with yourself as the main body. As long as it conforms to the laws of Ming Dynasty, your religious freedom and life All methods will be respected.”
