Akbar the Great was annoyed because he wasn't the Great yet, and probably never will.

He was indeed probably the wisest of all the rulers who had a place in India, and although he was praised as a religiously tolerant ruler by outsiders, he actually considered himself not religiously tolerant and that all his actions were aimed at better unifying the people of the land.

He abolished the habit of not eating pork and killing pigs, shaved his beard before encouraging his subjects to shave, and encouraged people to drink alcohol in moderation.

At the same time, the bad practices of Hinduism were similarly cracked down.

Just before the monks gathered their troops, Akbar had just summoned learned scholars, Brahmans, Hindus, Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Jews, and Zoroastrians to gather in the capital city of Agra and let them take turns to debate.

Finally, he argues that all believers actually have the same eternal God.

It is very strange that he did not personally promote or guide his subjects to any one sect, and his grandfather, the Mughal founder Babur, his father Humayun, and his teacher Bairam Khan all advocated the use of force to promote religion.

And he said: I haven't been able to understand it myself, so why should I guide others?

Despite the threat of rebellion and war, Akbar adhered to the habit of appearing early in the morning on the balcony of the Red Fort to accept the redress of grievances from his subjects, and although this insistence like a tribal leader adjudicating a dispute did not help a few people, Akbar was still very popular with his subjects.

In the land of India, it is relatively easy to govern the place, because it has the most amazing subjects in the world, and if you manage the chaos of religious affairs, everything will be solved, and whatever the ruler decrees, he will be praised for the extraordinary fact that they don't understand anything anyway.

Religious matters were not too difficult for Akbar, and he tried to change his doctrine in the hope that all religions would be equal and serve their own affairs, and that their antagonism would be eliminated.

But the resistance was too great, so he planned to set up a sect of his own, at least so that none of these religions would affect him, and the name was tentatively set as 'Ding Ding Laxi', which means sacred religion.

At present, he is the only one in this religion, in fact, it is not a bad thing to have fewer people, just like setting up a one-person company, going out to issue business cards is a very face-to-face thing, a small piece of paper to the hand, so-and-so, the chairman of a certain company, and the executive president, sales director and security captain...... Who doesn't give a thumbs up?

Akbar is the same, directly serving as the head of the Ding Ding Laxi sect and the supreme elder of the sect, and has reached the pinnacle of his life.

The problem comes down to the fact that Akbar is illiterate.

He has a unique understanding of the philosophical systems of various sects, and he also has good attainments in listening to music and watching others draw, and the cultural atmosphere of the court is very strong, and he has also set up special institutions for translating Turkic, Greek, Arabic and other foreign cultures.

But he just couldn't read and write, and he couldn't even write names.

And it is very strong, to say that the illiterate is because he was displaced by the war when he was a child, and there was no learning environment, which may be reasonable, but it is not easy to explain the reason why the aristocratic education of his father is still widely inherited in him.

When he grew up, he always refused to be taught by court teachers to read and write, which was strong.

Until now, he is thirty-eight years old, and everything that needs to be written is written by others; All the letters are spoken by others.

It is likely that the most illustrious Mughal kings suffered from disorders.

For him, it was not difficult to reorganize, govern, and reform India's politics, economy, military, religion, culture, and arts, but it was the locust-like Buddhists who landed in the southwest.

The Mughal military was strong, but the problem was that Akbar's overall vision was not very good, and his generals were almost the same virtue, and what really allowed him to dominate the land was the unparalleled military technology - the war horses of the Afghan nobles, muskets and artillery from the Ottoman Empire.

In short, the Mughal army fought against the Indian sheikhs, just as Xiangshan Qianhu Chen Mu fought against the coastal Wakos, winning more than tactics or strategy.

As a result, 20,000 Mughal troops often fought 100,000 local rebels who could not find the north.

This is why the Mughal territory expanded south and west based on the Ganges, and the lands near the Ganges were very easy for him to conquer, and the closer they got to the Deccan plateau, the more difficult the war became, because the more technology-dependent the army, the greater the logistical pressure.

Now the offensive and defensive situation is easy, and the 20,000 elite counterinsurgency sent to the east are all intercepted by the armed merchant ships led by the Nanchang ship, and the important town of Patna on the retreat road falls into the hands of Tianshi, causing this elite army to disappear silently in the imperial sequence, while the Bengali rebellion is still there.

The princes and nobles whose territory was adjacent to Bihar Province gathered 40,000 troops and sent them to Bihar, but they were defeated by a group of monks.

What was originally a very easy counterinsurgency war escalated due to the involvement of monks, and the uncontrolled enemy in the west was eager to try, and the Western military government in the south was also 'eager to try', which suddenly caused chaos in the relatively stable political situation in the country.

The nobles had the main war faction and the main peace faction, and it was infuriating that this time the main war faction and the main peace faction were not decided by religion or position, as in the previous case when they were in danger, but by the location of the territory.

Whoever is near the jurisdiction of the Western military government or the province of Bihar is the lord and the faction; Those whose territories are close to the capital of the Rajput nobles are the main war faction.

This situation infuriated Akbar, who complained more than once to his close court friend, Sheikh Faiz: "These people cannot say anything useful, just as they let them debate religion, and they do not hear any rational advice, and they do not receive any useful help." ”

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty also asked me to communicate with the merchants, those people are really merchants, and my envoys asked for 200,000 when they opened their mouths...... Two? ”

Speaking of this, Akbar reluctantly raised his hands above his head: "Which god doesn't know how much 200,000 taels is, they say that it is as heavy as two elephants, do those people still weigh elephants for this?" Do they really think I'm going to give them that much silver? ”

"Let me also ask the King of Spain what are the consequences of provoking the Ming army, the King of Spain?" Akbar was extremely confused by all this, frowned and stated in an extremely puzzled tone: "Just the guy who was beaten by the Suleiman Caliphate? It seems that he was beaten again and again by the Ming army. ”

"I'm not going to have a little bit of silver with them, and soon, soon I'll know how many people there are here, and those Buddhists, I'll know how many of them there are."
