"Then there is no need to worry too much. After hearing those false news, he will definitely send troops to Arakan."
As soon as Gao Pragmatic finished speaking, Huang Zhiting suddenly seemed to think of something and said thoughtfully: "Master, do you think Daniyar's thoughts are a bit like 'Chong'er was born outside, Shen Sheng died inside'"
?”
Huang Zhiting's words were pragmatic and his eyes lit up. It was because they were not the only couple present at this time. He almost wanted to praise: "Zhiting has gained a lot from studying these years!"
However, since there were others present, Gao Pragmatic could only smile and nod, saying: "In terms of his choice, this is indeed the case."
After a pause, he continued: "Based on the currently known information, it can be seen that most of the supporters around Akbar's eldest son Salim are the political, military and religious leaders of his sect. It can be said that he controls a large-scale
Persianate the power of the Mongolian military aristocratic group.
In addition, it is said that he also has the support of some stepmothers. I think these so-called "stepmothers" may have been translated incorrectly, and they may actually refer to concubines with Mongolian or Persian descent.
We know less information about Akbar’s second son Murad, but judging from the performance of his father Akbar, this son should hold the same position as his father Akbar. In other words, the power behind him should
He is a supporter of India's native faction. Among them, I think the most important supporter is his biological mother, Maryam, who was also Akbar's favorite concubine.
As a result, the position of the third son Daniyar is very embarrassing. Each of his two brothers has a faction of supporters. Both the supporters of the sect and the supporters of the Indian native faction are included in the mid-term, so when it comes to him, the supporters have to
Where did it come from? So, it became a cold stove, and I'm afraid not many people are interested in trying it."
Gao Wuzheng raised a question at this time: "Brother, do these three people each have a biological mother, or are they the same mother? I mean, why did you mention that the second son Murad has the support of his biological mother, but the eldest son Salim does?
Does the stepmother support him? Also, the youngest Daniyar doesn’t have a concubine who is willing to support him?”
"This matter is a bit complicated." Gao Pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "Akbar had thirty wives and concubines [Note 1], and I don't know how many children he had, but at present, only the above three can be mentioned.
, and the three of them are actually from the same mother, and were all born to Mariam.”
[Note: It may be because India does not have a tradition of compiling history, and no clear information can be found on the harem system of the Mughal Empire. The title of "Queen" is either not mentioned or is unclear. Judging from some of the information, it seems that there is no "Queen"
Fixed titles, for example, Jahangir gave his beloved concubine the title "Light of the Palace", and five years later he was given the title "Light of the World".
However, there are also some records that indicate that the Mughal queens had fixed titles. "Begum" is the official title of the queen. However, this title is different from the Chinese queen. It can be owned by more than one person. I personally suspect that it should be according to the sect.
According to tradition, four people can share this title. As for how to count the other "concubines" and how to call them, I really don't know because there is no place to look up.
I even opened a game of Europa Universalis 3. The title of the Mughal Queen in this game is "Farewell My Concubine Padisha". I don't know if it's a translation problem or if it has a real origin. I'm just making a note here for your reference.
For reference, readers. In addition, if any readers know this knowledge, your advice is very welcome.
Finally, Gao Pragmatic directly used the word "wives and concubines" to describe it. On the one hand, he didn't know how to say it, and on the other hand, the four people he faced were also unlikely to understand the situation in India, so he used the word Ming Dynasty vaguely.
Here’s the argument.]
Gao Wuzheng nodded repeatedly and said: "So that's the case. Needless to say, this Mariam must be the Mughal Queen, so only her three sons have the right to inherit the throne. Just like before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, only her three sons had the right to inherit the throne.
Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are equally qualified to succeed, so none of the other princes participated in the overt and covert struggles at that time."
His statement is definitely not correct. After all, the Mughal sect can have four wives. However, Gao Pragmatic is not sure what the problem is here. After all, he was not very interested in studying those sects before. Anyway, now
Akbar said that these three sons had "names and surnames", so Gao Wuzheng's understanding seemed not to be a big problem. Gao Pragmatic didn't bother to study it in detail and simply nodded.
At this point, Huang Zhiting couldn't help but said: "This Mariam is quite strange."
Gao pragmatic was a little surprised and asked: "What's so strange?"
Huang Zhiting shook her head and said: "Generally speaking, the eldest son is often the one parents devote the most effort to, and the youngest son is often the one they love the most. It is rare for parents to put aside the eldest son and the youngest son, and instead love the second son most."
She paused, then tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "The master said that the Mughals are actually 'Mughals' and are descendants of Mongolia. So according to Mongolian tradition, they should be 'Youngzi Shou'"
That's right, how come Daniyar, as the youngest son, seems to have neither power nor favor?"
Gao Pragmatic also shook his head and said: "I said that the Mughals are the Mughals and are the descendants of the Mongols. But don't forget, I also said that they are the descendants of the Persian Mongols. In terms of culture,
More like Persia. As for the Mongolian tradition and so on, there is probably only a little inheritance of the use of cavalry."
Huang Zhiting no longer distinguished, just shook her head and muttered: "Weird, really strange."
Gao Wuzheng took over the previous words and said: "That means that the second son Murad is now the emperor, and the queen is very optimistic about him and wants to make him the prince. And according to previous intelligence, as the eldest son of the emperor, Sa
Lim should have considerable strength, and he may already have a disobedient heart.
Now, as the third son, Daniyar is weak and only has a governor of Bengal, like the governor of Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he needs to show his ability very much in order to attract more people to support him, and his brother is
Is this the conclusion that, given the current situation he is facing, he will definitely take the initiative to send troops to fight me this time?"
It seemed that Gao Wuzheng had made great progress compared to the past. Gao Wuzheng immediately praised him and then said: "That's it. The reason why Daniyar was neither in Akbar's army nor staying in the rear is obviously convenient."
It's because he will be overshadowed by his brother in both places. In Akbar's army, people only know Murad; in the rear, people only know Salim. Who will care about him who has no support?
What about fringe characters?
In particular, once he stays in these two places, his two brothers will definitely win over him. However, he may not be willing to choose one person to follow him. Secondly, he may be worried that if he chooses wrongly, he may be succeeded in the future.
He was killed by his elder brother. So, this is the reason why he chose "Chong'er was born outside".
But 'Chong'er was born outside' not only to survive, but more importantly, to be able to go back and inherit the great cause in the future, he needs to do some big things that attract world attention and let everyone know that except Salim and Murad
, and Daniyar – he’s also someone to bet on.”
At this point, the basic situation was explained clearly. Everyone nodded to show their understanding and at the same time fell into thinking.
After a while, Gao Qi suddenly thought deeply and said: "I remember that the Secretary-General once mentioned before going south that although Salim was sitting in the rear, during Akbar's last southern expedition a few years ago, this guy was
A new court was established in the rear, forcing Akbar to return to the army to quell the rebellion.
It was said to be a counter-rebellion, but in fact there was no serious fight. After Akbar came back, many people around Salim were a little shaken and did not want to fight with Akbar, the emperor, so the rebellion was put down. However, due to
There were too many supporters around Salim, and they were all major nobles of the direct Mughal sect. Therefore, Akbar could not do anything to the eldest son. He just gave him a fief, which was in Bihar, near Bengal.
, Orissa region..."
Liu Xin's words were actually a message from Gao Yuan last time. Gao Jingshi discussed this with her and told Liu Xin that if Jinghua did not participate, the winner of the "three sons to win the direct title" in the future would be Salim. Of course,
It was impossible for Liu Xin to tell Gao Qi the following, so Gao Qi needed to draw his own opinions based on the known information at this time.
Seeing Gao Pragmatic, Gao Qi just nodded slightly, but had no intention of speaking, so he continued: "Is there such a possibility now: Daniyar asks his brother Salim to borrow troops?"
Gao Pragmatic shook his head and objected: "Impossible, and even if he spoke, Salim would not agree. Although Salim may not think that Daniyar is a threat to him now, they are also of Mongolian descent after all.
Although the country is now established in India, if you look at their ruling system, you will know that the power of these people comes largely from the troops they have. In this case, how could Salim hand over his troops to his younger brother?
master?"
After a pause, Gao Pragmatic added: "In addition, there are some things I can tell you: Bangladesh is not stable now, and there are hidden dangers both internally and externally. Externally, the neighboring Kingdom of Assam is worried that the Mughal Empire will annex Bengal.
Still not satisfied after that, the next step was to invade them, so they were eager to find some allies to fight against the Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Within Bengal, there is a local leader named Isa Khan, who has roughly united the resistance forces in Bengal, has agreed to join forces with Assam to fight against the Mughals, and is even willing to seek our support."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Is there such good news? In this case, if we can cooperate inside and outside, for example, we can come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and while Daniyar leads the army to leave Bangladesh, Isa Khan in Bangladesh suddenly raises his troops.
, wouldn’t Daniyar’s escape route be cut off? Then it would be easier for our southern Xinjiang army to defeat him!
However, Gao Pragmatic's good news was not finished yet. He smiled and said: "At the same time, Salim may also be attracted."
What?
This news was so shocking that even Gao Guoyan, who didn't care much about military affairs, couldn't help but exclaimed: "No way? He seizes the legitimate son and seizes the legitimate son. After all, he is also the eldest son of the emperor, so how can he be won over by us?"
"It's not that difficult." Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "Bengali is a new territory that the Mughal Empire conquered in recent years, and it has never been very stable. The Mughal Empire has internal concerns about the high cost of ruling this area.
Many people are dissatisfied, and that may include Salim.
Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Bangladesh is now controlled by Daniyar, and Daniyar obviously intends to remain neutral in the struggle for succession between Salim and Murad, which makes Salim very sad.
Not satisfied.
He... Hehe, since he can't be an ally, he can't at least let Bangladesh become a knife in his back. Therefore, he would rather lose Bangladesh than have a stable rear. Of course, it is best if the Bangladesh rear can still
Support him to defeat Murad, or even... simply defeat Emperor Akbar."
Good guy, this is really a filial piety. But it’s not surprising, the group of Mongolian descendants in Central Asia have done this kind of thing a lot, Salim’s childishness is really nothing. He has read a little history of Central Asia.
Gao Pragmatic believes that for a long time, what happened in that area can only be described as a "moral depression in human society."
As soon as Gao Pragmatic said these words, several people in the meeting were stunned and silent for a while. After a while, Huang Zhiting said: "Master, if you sum up now, is it like this: Bangladesh is actually suffering from internal and external problems, but Daniyar may not know it.
At this moment, what he cares about is to fight against us by rescuing Arakan, and then to gain a reputation and boost his own status in the Mughal country.
At the same time, Salim, whose fiefdom is approaching Bengal, has a tacit understanding with us about this. Even if he will not personally go out to pick peaches in Bengal, he can at least stand still and do nothing to save him?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If this is the case, what will happen to the ownership of Bangladesh after this war? Will we march into Bangladesh and become the master, or will the local leader Isa Khan stand up and call the shots? In addition, what will happen next?
What else does the Kingdom of Assam want?”
Gao pragmatically said: "Daniyar is destined to be a withered bone in the grave, so I won't say more. As for Salim, there is no need for him to mobilize troops, and I don't want him to interfere in Bengal, lest it be easy to invite gods but difficult to send away.
All he needs to do is stay put in Bihar and Orissa and wait for our 'support'.
As for Isa Khan, we actually have experience in arranging it, don’t we? Think about it, aren’t the kings of the kingdoms in southern Xinjiang still alive and well? We have been putting them on the bright side for so many years, right?
Wrong? If that’s the case, why can’t Bangladesh do the same?
In my opinion, after taking over Bangladesh, we will give Isa Khan the title of King of Bangladesh as agreed. As for Jinghua, just form a national policy advisory group as usual... It's all about helping others, and his little military strength is nothing.
Once you become the king of Bangladesh, will you be able to sit back and relax and not be afraid that Akbar will invade the country again with his army? We are supporting him and helping him."
What you said makes sense, and I was speechless. Everyone looked at each other, and then laughed together.

PS: I've been a bit stuck in the past two days, but it's not because my ideas are stuck, but because India doesn't study history, and I have a headache trying to find a lot of relevant information. Now I doubt that my previous outline of the Indian plot has been implemented.
It's difficult... How should I put it? My plot arrangement usually evolves according to basic historical facts, and changes brought about by the plot of the novel are added on the basis of historical facts. The problem now is that if the basic historical facts cannot be found, it will inevitably be difficult to write.
I have to worry about superficiality, or later discovering that the previous article has historical flaws, so now I am a little afraid to start writing.
