Wanli, who lived in the deep palace, did not know what the Mughal Akbar had experienced in Bengal, and in fact it was not as simple as a few Ming merchants supporting the rebellion of the nobles.

It all starts with Akbar's governance and religious policies in the Mughals, Akbar is a serious *** believer, just like the Ottomans at this moment, Akbar also has a tolerant attitude towards the religion in the country, and at the beginning of his reign he exempted the poll tax on non-*** believers, and at the same time reused Hindus in the court.

In this way, it can balance the influence of neighboring countries on religion, and secondly, it can attract more people of insight to serve his country.

Akbar, the ruler of the Indian subcontinent, who controlled the territory bordering the Yarkand Khanate in the northwest and the army in the east as far as the Kingdom of Bengal, once said: Every sect has a good side, and we should take the best from it and get rid of the dross.

In the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent, Bengal, where the Ganges River eventually flows into the delta of Bengal, has become a prosperous and densely populated city-state, and in recent years its nobleman Daoud Khan has abandoned his allegiance to Akbar and raised an army to claim that Bengal has regained its independence, and then defeated Raj Mahal in the fourth year of Wanli and died at the hands of Akbar.

But whether before or after the rebellion, it was never the titular monarch Akbar who held power in Bengal, but the Afghan nobles who were born and raised in this land.

The reason for the rebellion of the Bihar aristocracy in Bengal and west was that Akbar invited Christian priests to preach, which once again inflamed the unstable and often shrinking northeastern border of the Mughals.

In fact, Akbar's intelligence was wrong, and there was no Ming merchant to support the rebellion, not a single one.

The one who really supported the rebellion was a monk, a monk who did not wear a robe and armor, and did not hold a Zen staff and an iron rod.

When the monk was called Tian, he was the head of the gun stick sect of the Nanyang Military Government, and the abbot of the West Shaolin who was responsible for the western transmission of Buddhism in the Ming and Han dynasties.

Two years ago, the monk Tianshi in Myanmar with a pair of truth iron fist to refute all the monks in Myanmar, with the lofty ideal of Pudu good men and women, led the warrior monk bird gun team of 376 people to land at the mouth of the Ganges River in Bangladesh, and then preached, conferred the scriptures, the years passed quietly, and the days in Basel, Bangladesh were full of leisure.

It was not until the missionaries of the Mughal King Akbar sent to preach entered Basel.

Originally, Bangladesh has a relatively prosperous economy, a large population, and most of the people believe in Buddhism and religion, and there is no Hinduism here.

The religious atmosphere is extremely tolerant, really, the flowing water of the Ganges River can testify, since the time of the battle of the heavens when the mage and the warrior monk bird gun team disembarked from the Nanyang Military Government Liuding Liujia battleship parked at the mouth of the Ganges, these two years have passed, and no one has ever asked them for a poll tax.

No one was angry even when Master Tianshi debated with the abbots of the local Buddhism, sometimes the powder cartridge exploded in the temple walls without knowing what was going on, or the debate had a spiritual method that caused the cannon on the Puen Puen River to sound twice.

The nobles never cared, and sometimes they even crossed the limits of religion to bring gifts to communicate with the Heavenly Master in a friendly manner, and everyone agreed to recruit believers according to their own ability, and the well water on both sides would not interfere with the river water.

From time to time, he gave back some Han Buddhist specialties to the noble benefactors who gave alms to the temple, such as the Buddha machine with Chinese characters engraved with Chinese Buddhist scriptures customized by Nanyang Weigang, or the arquebus bird gun with the six-character mantra engraved with the pipe.

Although the so-called friendly exchanges have nothing to do with religion, they talk a lot about silk, porcelain and grain exports, and sometimes talk about Taoism and Confucianism, some of the core ideas of harmony and introversion, and self-reflection, which is a very peaceful and joyful situation.

As a result, a Portuguese clergyman with seven foot soldiers entered Bengal like a rogue and stole two oxen, eight chickens, and a small peasant woman, and swaggered into Basel to start preaching...... Aren't you naughty?

If that's the case, the Buddha will definitely reason with him, the Portuguese.

The east-west routes from Portugal have been closed, and they have so many people overseas, even fewer monks, and they are still old acquaintances, so there is no need to make too much trouble.

It can make them know the difficulty and return to the Mughal court, eat and fend for themselves, and it can be regarded as the Buddha's compassion.

As a result, this monk with the army is good, seeing the Daming warship parked in the river, he ran to the various Afghan nobles in power and said bad things about him, is this worth it? That's ambitious.

The people of Bengal are more monks and less meat for the master of Tianshi and the local nobles, and the two major sects finally came up with a charter, and the believers are based on their own abilities, and there is no dispute between the two sides in Bangladesh.

In the end, the monk was directly killed by the local nobles who were in power in order to appease the anger of the abbot of Tianshi.

The fleeing guards returned to the palace and reported to Akbar that no one knew the ins and outs of the reason, and finally came to the conclusion that the Bengals had rebelled again.

Akbar sent troops and horses to fight, just as the garrison of Bihar stationed in the west of Bengal mutinied, and the nobles were also worried that Akbar would come to crusade against them this time, so it became a rebellion between Bihar and Bengal.

The monk and his team of birds did not participate in the war, but only helped the people and preached Buddhism along the way, but they were also attacked by the Mughal royal team in Bihar in the west, and the abbot of Western Shaolin was involved in the war.

The encounter was very painful, and the 46 warrior monks who were giving porridge to the people who had taken refuge and the hundreds of soldiers and civilians who had fled from Bihar were attacked by a Mughal squad of more than 300 people.

The squad consisted of a war elephant, twenty Turks armed with Ottoman heavy muskets, more than forty very elite Mughal cavalry, and an infantry archer composed of local Hindu chiefs and Afghan tribal chieftains.

The results speak for themselves, not many of the fleeing people survived the rain of arrows, guns, sabers and spears, the Zen master could not get the rout army back together, and the warrior monks and bird guns were under-armed, they relied on their armor to rely on the river to shoot at the enemy archers, but the scattered formation prevented them from forming a more effective rotation formation.

What's more, there are Mughal cavalry riding Arabian horses galloping left and right, and the warrior monks are even a problem to protect themselves, and they can't protect more people at all.

One by one, the warrior monks fell, and some people ignited the palm thunder and rushed to the enemy formation to frighten the war elephants and trample their commander, but the warrior monks killed the enemy and were also killed by the enemy, and finally it was the disciples who captured a few fast horses with excellent spearmanship and escorted the Tianshi mage to flee from the battlefield, which did not let the abbot of Shaolin in the Ming Dynasty die in the unknown poor countryside.

Counting the heavenly monks, only three monks fled to their warship on the Ganges, which angered the abbot.

There were no Ming merchants who supported the rebellion of the Bengali aristocracy, but there were many Ming merchants who supported the abbot of Western Shaolin.

In the three months following the revenge of the Bengali nobles who had prepared for the war, a steady stream of Ming merchant ships sailed from Rangoon into the Ganges and docked on the right bank of Basel.

The captains were long-haired, hair-scarfed businessmen, sailors from Fujian, Canton, Luzon or Japan, who unloaded crates of Burmese Taungoo weapons and armour, grain and gunpowder, and, of course, the vast expanse of monasteries and their armed Buddhists to join the Bengal war against the Mughals.
