The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

sinbad.

This Sinbad, of course, is not the Sinbad in "One Thousand and One Nights", but coincidentally, he is also a great navigator!

A great navigator who won the favor of Emperor Akbar...

His position in Emperor Akbar's heart is like that of the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He in Zhu Di's heart.

"I'm waiting for you!" Emperor Akbar said impatiently, "I asked you to get something, did you get it?"

"It's a good luck!" Sinbad bowed respectfully, and carefully took out a box from his arms.

Emperor Akbar couldn't wait to open the box, and it turned out to be a nautical chart!

"This is the map of the Indian Ocean, South China Sea and Daming sea that I have spent 10 years drawing according to the emperor's order!" Sinbad said proudly: "I dare say that in the Mughal Empire, you can't find a map of the sea." A more detailed and accurate nautical chart than this!"

Emperor Akbar hastily opened the chart.

As a promising king, he has already prepared and anticipated everything, and his ambitions are far beyond the three-acre land of the South Asian subcontinent.

But endless land and sea!

In order to achieve his goal of ruling the entire Indian Ocean, he has sent the great navigator Sinbad to survey and map the entire Indian Ocean ten years in advance.

Of course, more than 100 years ago, Zheng He's voyages during Zhu Di's time made him realize that there was a powerful and prosperous empire in the East - Daming.

Therefore, Daming Haijiang is also one of his goals!

The navigation technology of the Arabs was already leading the world in the Middle Ages, and the Indian Ocean became their inland sea.As a big country that inherited the navigation technology of Arabia and Persia, the Mughal Empire also had very developed navigation technology.It can be said that the Europeans' navigation technology in the coastal waters at this time was not even comparable to that of the Mughal Empire.

"With this nautical chart, I can launch a sea expansion and push the glory of Mughal and Allah to the whole world!"

Emperor Akbar said enthusiastically.

The Mughal Empire believed in Islam.Although Akbar the Great promoted a policy of religious tolerance, he himself was a fanatical Islamist.

He wants to surpass Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, and Salah al-Din, the Islamic commander in the Middle Ages, and become the greatest leader of Islam!

Emperor Akbar's eyes were wandering around the map at this moment.

On the map, Emperor Akbar saw the territory of Ming Dynasty for the first time!

That is a huge empire nearly twice the size of the Mughal Empire!

This Great Ming Empire has a land without borders, covering from the extreme north to the land of Vietnam, from the easternmost Sakhalin Island to the westernmost desert.

Its sea territory is also extremely vast, from the East China Sea, South China Sea, to the North Sea.

Seeing this map, Akbar's eyes became even hotter.

"The emperor of Ming Dynasty at this time is Jiajing, right?" Emperor Akbar murmured.

Navigator Sinbad nodded: "That's right, it is the legendary Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He became the throne at the age of 15 and has ruled Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years. "May [-]". Under his rule, there was a revival in Ming Dynasty. Signs, someone has become Jiajing Zhongxing!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Akbar sneered disdainfully, "whose greatness can be compared with my Great Emperor Akbar? This Jiajing, I heard, is also a guy who is strong from the outside but capable in the middle. Just like the Ming Empire! It is definitely not my Mughal Empire opponent!"

Sinbad nodded: "That's right. Your majesty's cultural and military skills have surpassed those of your ancestors, and you have pushed the Mughal Empire to its peak. Now our Mughal Empire has ruled Iran, Afghanistan, India and other huge lands. , has hundreds of millions of people. There are thousands of warships alone. In your treasury, gold is piled up like a mountain, and rice is too much to eat and rot. In your army, there are brave Mongolian Temur cavalry, some The incomparably brave Islamic cavalry archers, the native Indian elephant soldiers, and our invincible Arabian navy!"

Emperor Akbar looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I heard that the emperors of all dynasties in the Ming Dynasty closed their doors and did not allow an inch to enter the sea. According to this policy, no matter how big the land and strength of the Ming Dynasty are, they will not be able to fight against our Mughal Empire. Powerful navy and army!"

His deep wolf-eyed eagle eyes shot out the meaning of endless conquest: "I want to surpass the Prophet Muhammad and become the greatest messenger of Allah! Become the spokesperson of Allah walking in the world! I will join hands with my relatives in Mongolia to destroy Daming! "

This was the first time Sinbad heard Akbar tell the secret in his heart, and he was shocked.

Although the royal family of the Mughal Empire was indeed a Turkic Mongol, it was a country established by the Timurid Empire in Central Asia who invaded India.In terms of blood, there are still inextricably linked with the Mongols at this time.

It can be said that the Timurid Empire was established by the Mongols, and the Mughal Empire was also established by the Mongols!

"You want to start a war with Daming?"

"That's right!" Emperor Akbar said contemptuously: "I have been exchanging letters with Altan Khan of Mongolia for more than two years. The two parties agreed that in the future, the Mongols will attack Ming from land, and we will attack Ming from sea. Perish! Let the glory of Allah rule the land of China!"

Sinbad was speechless.

This news is really amazing.

Unexpectedly, even the Himalayas cannot stop Emperor Akbar's ambition!

He is not satisfied with ruling India, but wants to annex Daming!

Emperor Akbar was full of ambition.

However, Sinbad paused, frowned again and said: "My great emperor, although I don't want to pour cold water on you. But I have to tell you some bad news. As far as I know, Yan Song, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, is promoting the Ming Dynasty. Open the sea. Daming is like an oriental giant dragon that has been sleeping for many years, waking up from sleep, absorbing the fresh air outside, and rejuvenating."

"What? Great Ming opened the sea?" Emperor Akbar frowned, and his most trusted navigator brought him unexpected news: "This Yan Song is a smart man."

"However, there are many internal conflicts in Ming Dynasty. Yan Song is only a civil servant, not an emperor. How long can his policy of opening the sea last?" Emperor Akbar was very familiar with Daming, and said with a sneer, "Even the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty have been wiped out. , How can I confront the Mughal Empire at sea? I still have an absolute advantage. However, Da Ming cannot be underestimated."

Emperor Akbar pondered: "The Han people are the only one among the four ancient civilizations that has not been interrupted... Even the Great Yuan Empire was defeated and overthrown by the Han people and established the Ming Dynasty. Sinbad, I want you to sail to Daming immediately, visit the situation of Kaihai, and spy on the reality of Daming. If Daming is still the same as before, we will join hands with Altan Khan to pinch Daming. If Kaihai is effective, Then think about it in the long run!"

Sinbad nodded: "Emperor Akbar! I will not disappoint your trust. I will set off right away and go to Kaihai City of Daming to check the reality."

Sinbad turned around and walked out of the palace, rushing to Mumbai, India's largest port.

Emperor Akbar looked at Sinbad's back with a pensive expression.
