Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Under the protection of mighty guards, Princess Alina of the Delhi Sultanate came from the capital city of Delhi to the frontier battlefield in Bangladesh.

As the leader of the mercenary army, the Tianfang Sect mercenaries in Hezhong and other places led by Timur have achieved a series of victories.

These mercenaries are cruel and warlike by nature, and besides fighting, their main concern is robbery.

Especially after Duan Gong took the initiative to shrink the defense and gave up many peripheral cities, these Tianfangjiao mercenaries became more proud and complacent, and despised the enemy.

The same is true of Timur as a general.

From Princess Alina's point of view, these mercenaries from the middle of the river were a group of savage and vulgar countrymen, they knew nothing but brutal burning, killing and looting.

Therefore, when Princess Alina came near Timur's barracks under the protection of Gragu's court guards, she immediately ordered her guards to guard closely, and the main targets were these barbaric Tianfang Sect mercenaries.

For Princess Alina's actions, the mercenary generals in the river headed by Timur are all quite disdainful.

"What kind of princess is she? She is the daughter of the Sultan, not the daughter of the Khalifa. How dare you call her a princess!"

Timur led these mercenaries across most of the Delhi Sultanate, and the military nobles of the Delhi Sultanate had already seen through the truth.

The Delhi Sultanate originated from the mercenary group of the Persian and Riverside generations. It can be said that their predecessors were also of the same origin as Timur.

It's just that after so many years of leisurely and rich life in India, the military nobles of the Delhi Sultanate have already been seriously corrupted.

Even the Gracchus Guards, known as the strongest combat force in the Deli Sultanate, are mostly a group of bright armors showing off their might.

As for the military lords who occupy a piece of land in various parts of Tianzhu, their army is even more decadent. Apart from being able to suppress the Indian untouchables and Brahmans who rebelled in the territory, they have no record to show.

After a series of victories, Timur and others not only seriously underestimated Duan Gong from the east, but even their own gold master, the Sultanate, was also looked down upon by them.

"Send someone to tell Princess Alina that our army lacks the necessary rewards and women who can make the soldiers happy. I see that there are many gold and silver treasures in his accompanying team, and there are many Female slaves, send them all to our army!"

Timur told his subordinates.

Hearing that Timur asked Princess Alina for property so arrogantly, all his generals were happy.

to be frank.

Although Bangladesh is not considered poor, it is definitely a relatively backward area in India.

After this period of fighting, the mercenaries under Timur didn't snatch much gold, silver and treasure except for some food and drink.

As for women.

Although these lecherous mercenaries are not very picky eaters, the Indian natives in the Bengal area are all black one by one, and they really don't fit their vision of women.

Among Princess Alina's guards, there were naturally some who seriously rejected Timur's unreasonable demands.

"These Mongolian barbarians dare to threaten their employers!"

Princess Alina was also furious after knowing the demands of the mercenaries Timur.

"We haven't opened up the road yet, and we still need mercenaries like Timur to continue to fight forward. If they refuse to fight because of insufficient rewards, then we may be stuck here in Bengal. When will we arrive in Han in the East?" country?"

An accompanying court official persuaded Princess Alina and the generals of Gracchus.

Everyone knows that His Majesty Firuz Shah of the Delhi Sultanate is eager to complete the marriage and trade with Han in the east.

If the mercenaries like Timur refuse to contribute, then I am afraid that the Gracchus Guards will go into battle in person.

The Dali remnant soldiers led by Duan Gongli defeated the Delhi Sultanate's tentative attacks one after another, which had already frightened the group of dudes like the Gracchus Guards.

If the Praetorians of Gracchus were to go into battle to kill the enemy, it would be no different from killing them.

So after hearing the persuasion of this court official, all the generals of the Gracchus Guards were silent.

The current situation still counts on people like Timur to work.

Princess Alina took a look, and the generals of the Imperial Guard under her also knew that they were of no use.

Without any choice.

Princess Alina could only ask people to take out part of the accompanying gold and silver treasures and female slaves, and send people to Timur's military camp as a reward.

really.

After having these rewards, Timur's mercenaries broke out with stronger combat effectiveness.

The specific results of the battle include, but are not limited to, breaking a city occupied by Brahmans, burning the Brahman temple inside, killing all men and women, and robbing all gold, silver, treasures and livestock. By the way, he killed and burned all the Brahman villages along the way.

Under this string of victories.

Duan Gong, the nominal lord of Bangladesh, never sent troops to rescue him.

This made Timur and others even more arrogant.

When fighting in this pagan land, Timur was limped because of an injury to one of his legs. He was afraid that his mercenaries and local Tianzhu natives would look down on him. brutality.

soon.

Butcher Timur, this new name spread throughout the Delhi Sultanate.

Princess Alina wrote a letter to her father Firuzsha about what she had seen and heard in front of her.

Firuzsha is naturally happy that Timur's deliberate use of troops can defeat Duan Gong, but he doesn't like Timur's reputation getting louder and louder in the Delhi Sultanate.

The Tianfang believers in the Delhi Sultanate are already spreading some news that is extremely unfavorable to Sudan.

Many people said that Timur was a devout believer and was blessed by the prophet, so he was able to make the enemies of the Delhi Sultanate fail one after another.

What does this mean?
This is a naked allusion to His Majesty Sultan Firuz Shah!
As the saying goes, what a scholar can bear, what can't be tolerated.

Firuzsha hired these Tianfang Cultists to fight, the purpose is to consolidate his power, not to hope that these Tianfeng Cultists will threaten his power.

The Delhi Sultanate is a country established as a military group, and the warrior lords in their various places do not know who they are in the Sudan.

There have been several mercenary rebellions to overthrow the previous sultan in the Delhi Sultanate.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Tianfang believers in the country from supporting the mercenaries too much, Firuzisha decided to lead the army to complete the final blow to the Easterners.

Firuzsha felt that Duan Gong did not dare to fight Timur, it must be at the end of his strength, as long as he led the army and went to the battlefield to win the final battle, he would be able to take all the credit for himself, thus avoiding Timur and others from hiring him. The army is too powerful.

In order to achieve this goal, Firuzsha sent people to speed up by eight hundred miles and ordered Timur's army to stop attacking and wait for his arrival.

Timur didn't understand the reason for Firuzsha's order at first, but when they heard that Firuzsha had already started preparing the army to come in person, they all knew that they were afraid that they would do too much for Firuzsha , ready to grab the credit.

The actions of the Delhi Sultanate naturally did not escape Duan Gong's spies.

Duan Gong's original plan was to shrink the defense to lure Timur and others to take risks and go deep, so that he could give them a fatal counterattack under the city.

Now Duan Gong got the news that the monarch of the Delhi Sultanate, Firuz Shah, was mobilizing all his troops and was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Duan Gong.

This scares Duan Gong quite a bit.

There are more than 2 mercenaries under Timur, and it is said that Firuzi Shah of the Delhi Sultanate is mobilizing more than [-] troops.

Duan Gong's Indian indigenous army has low combat effectiveness and is no match for the enemy at all. The only military force that can be relied on is his own more than 1 people.

"Why haven't the reinforcements from the imperial court come yet?"

Duan Gong couldn't help becoming flustered, and began to look forward to the early arrival of reinforcements sent by the Ming court.

According to the current strength comparison, Duan Gong only has more than 1 people, and the force of the Delhi Sultanate will increase to more than [-] by then.

One hits ten.

Even if Duan Gong turned all the soldiers under him into three-headed and six-armed soldiers, it would not be enough to fight.

What's more, because the crippled Timur turned into a butcher Timur, his brutal reputation made the Indian natives in the Bengal area frightened. Many native princes who were originally loyal to Duan Gong secretly surrendered to Timur one after another, which made Duan Gong's The strength is obviously weakened.

Almost all the lords outside are no longer loyal to Duan Gong.

The strength of the indigenous Indians that he can really count on is only the tens of thousands of people in New Dali City.

His situation became very critical, and Duan Gong immediately tried his best to turn the situation around.

Duan Gong recruited indigenous troops in the territory, but the effect was very small.

The indigenous Indians have already been poisoned by Brahmans. Their expectations for the afterlife are far greater than this world. Except for the lords with land and land, those ordinary people are salted fish waiting to die.

They will not go all out with Timur for Duan Gong, an outsider.

If you fail to make a plan, you have another plan.

Duan Gong sent people to bring a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and contacted Timur and other mercenary generals through secret channels.

Since these mercenaries fought for money, Duan Gong felt that as long as he paid more money, he might be able to make these enemies quit.

But Duan Gong far underestimated the professionalism of these mercenaries.

In particular, these mercenaries are all devout believers who believe in Tianfang Sect.

Their allegiance to the Delhi Sultanate was not just to Sultan Firuz Shah.

I also want to use this war to get enough credit for my future ascension to heaven in a holy war.

For these pious religious fighters, Duan Gong's behavior can only bring humiliation.

In desperation, Duan Gong could only order his generals and soldiers to strengthen the defense in New Dali City, ready to deal with the large-scale attack of the Delhi Sultanate at any time.

In the barracks of Butcher Timur, a large group of mercenary generals gathered around Timur.

They are laughing wantonly.

The gold and silver treasures that Duan Gong sent as bribes were all intercepted by Timur.

Not only that, Timur also sent someone to cut off the nose and ears of Duan Gong's envoy, a native Indian proficient in multiple languages, to show the future and bravery of the Tianfang Sect soldiers.

Now these mercenary generals are happy to share their own gold and silver treasures.

After fighting together for so long.

These mercenaries already had great trust in Timur, a cruel and intelligent young man.

Timur naturally knew the psychology of these people very clearly.

His ambition is also further expanded.

So this time the distribution of gold and silver treasures, in order to win over these generals, completely turned to himself, Timur played the characteristics of Kangyi, all the gold and silver treasures were distributed to these generals, and he kept none of them.

"Firuz Shah Sultan will come here soon. I believe it won't take long to defeat the Easterners. When we have harvested this vast land, we may have to go back to the river!" Timur said intentionally. said regretfully.

When the other generals heard this, they also changed from happy expressions to regret and loneliness.

These mercenary generals are all from the barren Kabul, Khorasan and other places, even if it is a little richer in the middle of the river, there is no way to compare with the rich Tianzhu mainland.

So after these days of marching and fighting, these greedy mercenary generals are already full of ambitions for this land.

The thought of the end of the war made them leave.

Everyone stole their inquiring glances like Timur.

obviously.

Everyone hopes that Timur will find a way so that they can continue to stay on the continent of Tianzhu to enjoy happiness.

"When those hateful Easterners are eliminated, I will ask Firuzsha to let us become Gracchus of Ballad!"

The Balad area is located in the northwest of the Delhi Sultanate, where the famous Khyber Pass is located.

Every time the Indian mainland was invaded in history, almost all invaders poured in from mountain passes.

Although the land there is not considered fertile, it can grow some food and graze animals. For the mercenaries in Central Asia, it is really a rare geomantic treasure.

The military aristocrats of the Delhi Suda Kingdom have a special name called Gracchus, which is equivalent to the knight lords in Europe.

The Janissaries of the Sultan of Delhi consisted of the elite of these Gracchus, so they were also called the Gracchu Janissaries.

Moreover, Gracchus has considerable local power. Except for paying part of the tax to the Sudan and performing military service, all other powers belong to Gracchus, big and small.

If Timur and his mercenaries can be canonized as Gracchus, then they are equivalent to having their own independent kingdom.

Moreover, the Balad area is close to areas such as Hezhong and Kabul, where you can contact the hometowns of these mercenaries.

Once there is trouble, the Balad area can borrow troops from Kabul and the river to enter India for military conquest.

So Timur's plan obviously has very strong ambitions.

"What if the Sultan refuses to agree?"

Immediately, some mercenary generals raised their concerns, because the ambition in it was too obvious. As the sultan of the Delhi Sultanate, Firuz Shah could not be a fool, and he must be able to see it.

"Then we should let the Sultan know that he would not be able to win this jihad against the Easterners without us devout Allah fighters!" Timur said coldly.

In Timur's plan, the war against Duan Gong can almost be said to be a certain victory.
