Aurangzeb did make a magic move - for him who lacked military strength, there was really no better choice.
Using his daughter and a huge allowance to induce Sengge to surrender and convert in name is the political correctness of the Tianfang Sect. Tianfang Sect does not have a saying of "no marriage, no payment". In order to bring in a strongman like Sengge, give him a A few more rupees from a beautiful woman is nothing... Anyway, those rupees are scraped from the heads of Hindus.
Therefore, his "marriage route" can win him the hearts and minds of the people in the river to the greatest extent. No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, the leaders of the Tianfang Sect in the river area will be grateful to Emperor Timur.
Moreover, he can also win the favor of Sengge - Sengge is not the Great Khan of Mongolia, nor is he a descendant of the Golden Family. He was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, so he is relatively open-minded on the issue of becoming a vassal. It is the price of surrender. He could get Emperor Timur's daughter and get 3 million taels of silver a year. What else could he be dissatisfied with? This is much better than the conditions opened in Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Sengge's kingdom is very isolated in Central Asia. It is not only surrounded by enemies on all sides, but also internally and externally. The population of the headquarters is insufficient... With only 800,000 people in full force, how can it control so much territory and so much land? Teach the people? If the signs of Tianfang Sect and Timur were put up, wouldn't the passive situation be reversed?
Therefore, the sangha will definitely be grateful to Aurangzeb for this. Even if he cannot accept Aurangzeb's conditions, he will regard Aurangzeb as a friend instead of an enemy. Even if Aurangzeb had to pretend to join the War of Gods launched by the Khiva Khanate in order to win people's hearts, the Sangha would not take the initiative to attack Samarkand.
In this way, Aurangzeb didn't spend a single rupee and didn't give away his daughter. What's more, he could watch a useless show and gather some Tianfang sect warriors who were defeated by Sengge? Maybe after the Sangha defeated the Khiva Khanate, Samarkand could be left to Aurangzeb. In this way, Aurangzeb would have more dignity and dignity, and he could return to India in glory to deal with the gang of aliens. Become a believer!
"Your Majesty, you cannot convert to Tianfang Sect!"
"Your Majesty, you cannot surrender to the Timur Empire..."
"You can't marry that Princess Nissa either!"
As soon as Shesta Khan left, the three most trusted people of King Sengge, the Pearl Lama, the Three Jewels Lama, and his wife Anukdon came to sound the alarm for him.
The Mingzhu Lama said: "Everyone in the Zhungar Kingdom believes in Buddhism, and the Ming Dynasty respects the three religions. If the king converts to the true God, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the country will be separated, and the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty will be angry... Lian Xue All the great lamas on the plateau will accuse you of being the enemy of the Buddha!"
Sanbao Lama also said: "At that time, the Khiva Khanate, the Persian Empire, the Turkmen tribes, the Kazakh tribes, and the Ottoman Empire will be able to treat you, the king, as one of their own? No way!"
"Then Princess Nisha must not marry into the house!" Anukodon pouted, "If you dare to marry her, I will leave immediately and never come back!"
"Anu!" Sengge saw that his wife was angry. Knowing that Aurangzeb's "kindness" was not easy to bear, he could only shake his head and said, "I have no such idea. What's good about a Indian woman who is so dark?" ?I won't want it...But we can't fall out with that Aurangzeb! Now our Jungar Kingdom has just arrived in the river, its foothold is not stable, and it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, that is, Aurangze Bu be nice to us."
Anukodon said calmly: "What do you want?"
"I, I, I..." Seng Ge was glared at by his wife, and he quickly looked at the two great lamas for help.
The Great Lama Mingzhu frowned and thought hard and said: "Professing to be a minister cannot be called a minister, and must be refused without hesitation! It is not acceptable to convert to the true God, and must be refused without hesitation! Otherwise, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty and the great lama will make a fuss together. Power, Your Majesty, you are in danger..."
The foundation of the Jungar Kingdom is still 800,000 Mongolian tribesmen who believe in Lamaism, and Emperor Zhu now firmly controls it through the Uszang Jiedu Department and the new army stationed in Uszang (the number is very small, only more than 1,000 people) The great lama. Therefore, there is no need to send troops to deal with Sengge. You can simply let the great lama issue a decree and add a small amount of silver bullets, and you can immediately knock Sengge off his throne.
"As for the marriage, don't refuse it yet..." Mingzhu said this, taking a sneak peek at Anukotun, and saw a tigress that was about to get angry. "Of course, the king himself cannot marry this Princess Nissa."
"Then who will marry?" Seng Ge asked, "my son will marry?"
Sanbao Lama shook his head quickly, "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate...His Royal Highness's marriage requires the Emperor's approval. How could the Emperor agree to His Highness marrying the princess of Timurid?"
"Then who will marry?"
"Yes, you can recommend Princess Nisha to the emperor as his concubine!" Sanbao Lama [biquge.xyz] said, "Aurangzeb will not refuse the king's kindness. Even if this matter cannot be done, we and Timur The empires can also maintain peace for a period of time. This way we can be free to deal with the Khiva Khanate!"
What? Transfer Princess Nisha to the Ming Emperor? Sengge was very unhappy when he heard this. The good groom turned into a matchmaker... and the fat in his mouth flew away like this?
"This is a great plan!" Anukodon laughed, "Your Majesty, let's do it like this!"
"This, this..." Sengge hesitated and refused to nod. Anukedun's eyes over there were getting colder and colder. In the end, Sengge had no choice but to frown and ask, "Why?" Where's the answer to Shasta Khan?"
Yes, you can't say that I changed hands with your princess, right?
"Let Chen and Mingzhu come forward and speak!" Sanbao Lama immediately stepped forward and took Mingzhu with him.
"Then..." Sengge always felt something was wrong.
Anuktun said: "The situation in the Fergana Basin has been unstable recently. The king must personally send troops to suppress it. There is no time to see the envoys of the Timurid Empire again!"
The two great lamas looked at Seng Ge, who nodded, "That's it, that's it..."
...
Shesta Khan knew something was wrong when he saw the two majestic lamas. If King Sengge agreed to convert to Tianfang Sect, he would definitely not let the two lamas inform him!
Lama Mingzhu is a scholar, very knowledgeable, and very talented in languages (otherwise Nalanxingde would not have been born). He has already learned Persian from others, so there is no need for an interpreter for today's meeting. Mingzhu will directly communicate with Xie Star Khan (he is a Persian immigrant, of course he can speak Persian) dialogue.
And Sanbao Lama Soetu could also understand a little Persian, so he listened nearby.
"...Princess Nisha's beauty and wisdom were also heard by the Ming Emperor who was far away in Yingtian. When King Zhunge left Yingtian Mansion in the past (Sengge had never been to Yingtian), the emperor wanted to ask Zhunge for permission. King Geer acted as a matchmaker and welcomed the princess as his concubine. Therefore, the king did not dare to accept Alamgir's kindness, and he also wanted to ask His Majesty Alamgir to marry the princess to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
"What? You, what did you say?" Shesta Khan was stunned again and again. He never expected that King Sengge would use the princess's marriage problem to draw the Ming Emperor into the scene.
"Your Excellency Wazir, King Jungar wants to act as a matchmaker between Princess Nisha and the Great Tomorrow." Mingzhu Lama said, "This is a good thing. Your Majesty Alamgir won't object, right?"
Is this a good thing? Shesta Khan thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that Seng Ge's suggestion seemed to be good... For the Timur Empire, the greatest benefit is to maintain the source of troops in Central Asia and bribe the Central Asian Tianfang Sect. At the same time, he must avoid a real war with the powerful Jungar Kingdom.
Therefore, when King Sengge of Junger refused to convert and surrender, it would be quite good to block the marriage between Princess Nisha and the Emperor of Heaven. With this relationship, even if the Kingdom of Dzhungar beats the Kingdom of Khiva, it should not dare to go south to capture Samarkand.
Once the situation in Samarkand is stable, Emperor Aurangzeb can take his Transoxian legions back to India to claim kingship and hegemony...
