Mahasur, who escaped from Rajamondri, immediately fled to Godavari and sought help from Sultan. However, in the face of Mahasur's request for help, Nemir not only did not provide any support, but even sent an envoy to report the matter to Delhi with ulterior motives. As early as more than ten years ago, Shah Jahanmo annexed Ahmed Nagar, forcing Gorconda and Bijaypur to pay tribute to him.

Faced with the strength of the Mughal Empire, although Nemir chose to surrender, he was also dissatisfied. From the beginning, he wanted to use the Ming Dynasty to preserve his power and avoid being completely annexed. He also hoped to use this matter to provoke a conflict between the Ming Dynasty and Mughal.

"When they start fighting, we will be relaxed."

For Nemir, who had made up his mind to watch the tiger fight, he had no idea of ​​presiding over Mahasul at all, and he had no idea of ​​presiding over justice.

As for that little land?

That's important to the entire Godavari!

In fact, in the mid-17th century, India seemed to be in full swing and was in a great momentum to unify India. But in fact, even the so-called Mughal dynasty had a group of feudal lords half-separated. These feudal lords were loyal to the emperor. To put it bluntly, the Mughal Empire was actually just a group of feudal lords.

Of course, so is Godavari.

In fact, the Sultanate of Delhi is also... Well, the conquerors rely on such lords to conquer and rule this land.

When Sha Jahan of Delhi received a report from Godavari, the "loveless emperor" who became famous for the construction of the Taj Mahal, but had 4 wives and 360 concubines, immediately fell into deep thought.

As the emperor of the Mughal Empire, Sha Jahan also experienced great storms. When he was a prince, he assisted his father in leading the army, suppressing rebellions from all over the country, and conquered large areas of land. Later, he raised an army to seize the throne of his father. After his defeat, he was displaced for seven years. It was not until his father died more than twenty years ago that he became emperor in Agra. During his reign, he strengthened centralization, expanded his army, quelled the rebellion of the various principalities of Decan, and appointed his son Aurangzebu as the governor of Decan. This son later placed him under house arrest in a room in Agra Fort where he could see the Taj Mahal. He seized the power of the empire. Of course, Aurangzebu is still suppressing the local rebellion in front of the governor of Decan.

As for Sha Jahan himself, he didn't know that his son would follow his example to seize his throne after he was seriously ill. As the emperor of the empire, the problem he was facing now was that he had never faced in the past.

"Prime Minister, what do you think Nemir's purpose is?"

As the emperor of the empire, Shah Jahan didn't care about Rajamondri at all. He was more concerned about the deep reasons behind this.

"Your Majesty, Nemir must have hoped to stir up the conflict between us and the Ming Kingdom."

Prime Minister Numan replied respectfully.

"Bukhara has been occupied by the Han people. Those Han people are the rebels defeated by the Ming Dynasty. People from Afghanistan have mentioned those people. They fight very tenaciously, and it is hard to believe that they are actually the defeated side."

Even to this day, there are still many Afghan mercenaries in the army of the Mughal Empire. Those from Afghans fought everywhere for the Mughal Dynasty and received military pay. Many of them became military lords and nobles of the empire. Numann's great-grandfather was the Afghan.

In the past year, those Afghans brought a lot of information about the Han people, and also gave the Mughal Empire a more direct understanding of the distant Ming Dynasty.

In fact, all Central and Western Asian countries, including the Mughal Empire, wanted to establish normal diplomatic and trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, hoping to restore trade exchanges during the Yuan Dynasty. Even the founding king of the empire, Babur, heard that some incompetent people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were doing well on his way to India, and almost had the idea of ​​living a miserable life with the remaining soldiers, but because they were too far away, they could not surrender, so they had to bite the bullet and continue the expedition...

People have longed for the Ming Dynasty, but they have only been "unable to admire Tianyan" for hundreds of years.

Ten years ago, with a Ming merchant ship arrived in Bangladesh, the empire finally established trade deals with the Ming Dynasty. This was also the reason why Hu Tianqiu was able to easily sign a treaty and establish a trading post three years ago when he visited Hu Tianqiu on his way. The senior officials of the empire have been looking forward to trade deals with the Ming Dynasty.

"The Chinese are very good at fighting wars."

Said Sha Jahan.

"Even the most powerful Mongols were defeated by them. Their ancestors defeated the Turks and the Huns. The descendants of the Turks conquered Rome, and the descendants of the Huns also destroyed Rome. They are all conquerors of the world, but they are all defeated generals under the Chinese..."

As a descendant of the Mongols, Sha Jahan was not at all discomfort when he mentioned all this. After all, all this is true. Perhaps his name is "ruler of the world" in Persian, but he was not arrogant. He was like his ancestor Timur, who wanted to conquer China. He had no intention of becoming an enemy of China.

At least not at the moment.

"Indeed, we do not need to be enemies with them, but Your Majesty, the Emperor of China rewarded the land here to his princes, even if it was Godavari's land, but it was also a threat to the empire. If they were not stopped, it might further increase their ambitions, and we need to show our attitude."

"There is no need for this. They came from the sea, just like the Portuguese and the Dutch. Even if they occupy a piece of land, it's all. There is no need for us to conflict with the Chinese for a little bit of land. After all, they are also great powers, more powerful than Persia and Turkey..."

...

"Do you really mean that he said?"

asked Sinara.

"Yes, princess."

The palace maid answered hurriedly.

"Your Majesty is not willing to be enemies with China, because they are a greater power than Persia and Türkiye, so..."

"I get it, you go back!"

When she ordered the palace maids to retreat, Sinara did not forget to give the palace maid a reward. As a princess, she could get 100,000 rupees of pocket money every year.

"China……"

Sinara's beautiful eyes were cast out the window.

"Maybe, I can escape to China."

For the past few years, she has been planning to escape, escape from the palace and the country. The reason she wants to escape is because she feels the fanaticism in her father's eyes when she looks at her.

She didn't want to be with her sister Jahanara for the rest of her life, becoming a canary in a cage, and a substitute for her mother. Because her sister looked very similar to her mother, after her mother passed away, she became a substitute for her mother. Although according to her sister, she looked more like her mother. But because her mother died of dysfunction when she gave birth to her, the father almost never asked her, a "oggy person".

But a few years ago, after her sister was burned, the eyes gradually changed from her father's eyes to her. That kind of eyes made her scared, even feared, and of course there was a limit of resentment.

There are hundreds of concubines in the father and queen harem, and thousands of beauties who have paid tribute from all over the world. Why doesn’t he let his daughter go? His sister has been a substitute for more than ten years, and even, is it her turn to be with such a nightmare now?

no!

Absolutely not possible!

I'm going to escape!

But where are you running?

He was the emperor of the empire.

No one dared and could not take her in. But now, her father's fear of China has given her an opportunity.

Maybe you can escape to China!

It is impossible for the emperor to reach there.

But how to escape there?

What's more important is how to escape?

Just as Sinara didn't know how to escape from the palace, she saw two nuns in black robes walking out directly. The two nuns were François Bernier's assistant.

Maybe, you can disguise yourself as a nun and escape!

One morning a few days later, two nuns left the palace from the side door of the palace. The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't even look at them, they were just two pagans...
