While the Ming and Dashun families were busy "carving up" the Indochina Peninsula, a Spanish sailing ship carrying the Qing envoy had arrived at Surat Port, the largest port in the Mongolian Empire.
This is an inland port located on the right bank of the mouth of the Tapti River. It is a port city with a very long history and rich products.
Sony, one of the five ministers visiting Europe, was standing on the forecastle of the sailboat at this time, looking at the exotic city in front of him, and asked Cavalie next to him in blunt Japanese (Japanese). Luo: "Justice, are we in Europe?"
He has been at sea for months!
Spain, the world empire, has too many enemies. It would be better if we go to the Pacific Ocean, where there are no other European powers for the time being. However, Caballero arranged for the five ministers of the Qing Dynasty to go from Malacca to the Indian Ocean, and there were colonial strongholds of the Dutch and Portuguese along the way. A Spanish ship must be careful, otherwise it may be sunk by the black-hearted Dutch and Portuguese.
Therefore, they did not dock a few times along the way, and they did not dare to stay long after docking. After replenishing fresh water and food, they continued on the road.
The five ministers who have never been to the sea have suffered a lot. The worst one is Fan Yongdou. He is already an old man. How can his body withstand the torture? He is lying down now and is about to die!
When Sony thought of Lao Fan, he sighed: But it's okay, it's finally here...
"No, no, this is not Europe." Caballero said, "This is the port of Surat in the Mongol Empire."
"The Mongol Empire..." Sony was stunned and couldn't even speak "Japanese", "Mongolia? You mean Mongolia?"
Caballero also learned Chinese from Sony and could speak a little bit. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's Mongolia!"
“Genghis Khan’s Mongolia?”
"Yes, yes, this is Mongolia!" Caballero nodded seriously, "We have arrived in Mongolia!"
It’s over! Sonnyxin said: This Japanese is so seasick that he goes crazy... Where does the sea come from in Mongolia?
"This is really the Mongol Empire!" Caballero looked at the expression on Sony's face and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the purpose of coming to the Mongol Empire, I would have let this sailing ship sail across the Pacific Ocean.
Minister Suo, do you think there is only one Mongolia in the world? "
Sony was stunned, "Is there a second Mongolia?"
Caballero nodded and pointed to the busy port in front of him: "This is the Second Mongolia! It was established by Babur the Great, the sixth grandson of Timur the Great, after he conquered northwest India 120 years ago. This is Emperor Babur named the country he founded the Mongol Empire!"
Sony and the others arrived in the country that would later be called the Mughal Empire...but "Mughal" actually means Mongolia in Persian, so the correct name of the Mughal Empire is the Mongol Empire!
However, later historians used the name Mughal Empire in order to distinguish the Mongol Empire in India from the Great Mongol Kingdom.
But Caballero deliberately highlighted the "Mongol concept" of the Mughal Empire. The reason is very simple. Emperor Shunzhi was the Mongolian Erzhasak Khan!
And Sony and other five ministers, the Mongolian Khan, sent a mission.
Now that the envoy of the Mongol Khan has arrived in the Mongol Empire, can the Emperor Shah Jahan of the Mongol Empire treat him well?
Shunzhi was the Great Khan of Mongolia, and Shah Jahan was the Emperor of Mongolia. We are all "descendants" of Genghis Khan and are relatives. Emperor Shah Jahan was so happy when his relatives from Mongolia sent people from so far away!
And should the two Mongolias establish a friendly and mutually supportive relationship? If you don’t look at Allah’s face, you should also look at Genghis Khan’s face!
Once the two Mongols become friendly, then the Spanish Empire, which bridges the two Mongols, will of course gain two friends... If it can go a step further, it can promote the three-dimensional alliance between the Spanish Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the Qing Empire. Imperial Alliance, then Spain's decline may be reversed.
Sony also understood, "Justice, do you want us to visit the Mongolian Emperor of Tianzhu in the name of the envoy of the Mongolian Khan?"
Caballero smiled and said: "Isn't the emperor of the Qing Dynasty the Mongol Khan? In the West, two countries can share the emperor... I think you should name the Mongol Erzhasak Khan He went to see the Mongols in India in the name of being an envoy of the Qing Emperor."
"Yes, yes, yes, write a letter of credence in Mongolian!" Caballero said, "Minister Suo, do you understand Mongolian?"
"I understand, of course I understand!"
...
Sony's knowledge is very great, and he is proficient in five languages: Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Japanese! Writing a certificate of credence in Mongolian is of course a piece of cake.
But the problem is that Shah Jahan, the emperor of the Mongol Empire here in India, does not know Mongolian writing...
In the majestic and magnificent Jahangir Mahal Palace in Agra, the capital of the Mongol Empire in India, Shah Jahan, the Emperor of the Mongol Empire and the shadow of God on earth, is gazing at the unfinished Taj Mahal through a window , the white and graceful mausoleum stands on the plain not far from Jahangir Mahal Palace.
Since Taj Mahal from Persia died of puerperal fever, Shah Jahan often stood in front of the window overlooking the Taj Mahal construction site, watching with his own eyes what is said to be the most luxurious mausoleum in the world. It is built bit by bit.
Of course, he was just infatuated and did not neglect government or military affairs because of this.
Taj Mahal died in 1631, and it has been 19 years since Shah Jahan continued his militaristic military expansion. Not only did it expand its territory in India and constantly attack the power of Hindu princes, it also engaged in a long-term tug-of-war with the Safavid dynasty of Iran, and captured Kandahar in 1638. In 1646, he even launched a war against the Uzbek Khanate like crazy, and successively captured Badakhshan and Balkh in northern Afghanistan from the Uzbek Khanate. Then he sent his third son Aurangzeb The army continued to march northward and entered the desolate mountains and grasslands of Central Asia - Shah Jahan's goal was Samarkand and Bukhara, the hometown of his ancestors in Central Asia.
However, the war finally suffered a disastrous defeat due to a stalemate in 1648 and the inability to maintain logistical supplies.
Subsequently, the Safavid dynasty of Iran took the opportunity to counterattack and recaptured Kandahar at the time of the new defeat of the Indo-Mongol Empire.
Shah Jahan did not give up after suffering defeat and launched a counterattack against Kandahar in 1649, but was defeated again.
Shah Jahan, unwilling to accept defeat, is now preparing for his second counterattack against Kandahar...
"Father! Father! The Mongol envoy has arrived in Surat."
Shah Jahan suddenly heard the voice of his son Murad Bakshi. When he looked back, he saw his fourth son, Murad Baksh, who served as the naval governor in Surat (commander of the Mongolian Empire Navy), standing behind him in a dusty manner, holding a silk scroll in his hand.
"What did you say?" Shah Jahan asked.
"The Mongol envoy arrived in Surat."
"Mongolia? Isn't that what others call us incorrectly?"
Murad Baksh said with a smile: "It's not us, it's the Great Mongolia on the northern grasslands! The Great Khan of the Great Mongolia heard that there was a Mongol Empire in India, so he sent envoys from thousands of miles away."
"Isn't the Great Mongolia already..." Shah Jahan was a little unsure.
"Father, the envoy of the Great Mongolia said that the Great Mongolia has revived and re-invaded Dadu six years ago. It now rules half of China, Eastern Mongolia, Mongolia proper and Mongolia."
"Is this true?" Shah Jahan was a little unbelievable. He knew that his son was a bit silly and easier to deceive, so he asked, "You won't be deceived, will you?"
"No," Murad Bakshi said, "They also sent a letter of credence. I have read it. It is written in Mongolian characters."
Shah Jahan was stunned, "Do you know Mongolian characters?"
"Know a little bit...I know all nineteen letters."
