AD 1566.

Central Asia, the Womor Empire.

Just 10 years ago, Emperor Akbar, who was only fifteen years old, inherited a mess from his father.

The Kingdom of Womor that Akbar took over was surrounded by powerful enemies and was full of rebels. Even the capital of the kingdom was in the hands of the enemies.

Everyone believed that Akbar would die in an assassination or a rebellion by his conspirators.

But these ten years have passed, and Akbar's achievements have attracted the attention of all the forces in Central Asia.

Akbar first used 20,000 troops to defeat the 100,000 troops led by the rebel noble Sim who occupied the capital Delhi with a small victory and recaptured the capital of the Mughal Kingdom.

Akbar spent another five years annexing the land of his uncle Khan Bairam Khan, deposing him as prime minister, and exiled him to the holy land of Mecca.

In Central Asia, allowing a powerful lord to go to the holy land of Mecca was equivalent to being an outlaw under military law during the Republic of China. It only took Akbar five years to regain his father's inheritance when he was twenty years old.

Immediately afterwards, Akbar began his own road of conquest.

Based on the original territory of the Mughal Kingdom, he continued to conquer scattered small countries in Central Asia.

Now Akbar is twenty-five years old. He is about to annex the entire Central Asia region and expand his power to South Asia.

Emperor Akbar was an enlightened ruler who was very tolerant of beliefs, established laws, restricted the rights of the nobility, and established a centralized system.

This set of things is no longer played in East Asia today. Today, the Central Plains and Annan, North Korea, have entered the age of enlightenment and have begun to chant the slogan that sovereignty belongs to the people and demand the abolition of the monarchy.

But in Central Asia and South Asia, they have not even established a centralized state, and they do not even have the concept of a unified sovereign state. It is basically an era of warlord disputes.

At this time, the rise of Emperor Akbar brought stable rule to these areas, which was naturally advanced for them.

However, Emperor Akbar has been troubled recently.

Although the economy and society in Central and South Asia are very backward, their military technology is not backward.

Central Asia is a very special place and is one of the areas with the fastest military exchanges.

In the East, the losers in the competition between the monster houses in the Central Plains will enter Central Asia with more advanced military technology.

In the West, today's Ottoman Empire is a well-deserved great power. Today, the Ottoman Empire is no different from the European countries in terms of military technology and politics, and even surpasses the European countries in the use of firearms.

Just like Akbar's murderers.

Muke, this is a military system that originated from the Jin Dynasty, which had been fighting with the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. Jin Taizu used three hundred households as one mouke, and ten mouke as one fierce security. At that time, Jin Wushu used to fight Yue Fei, The men under his command were the cavalry led by Meng Anmuke.

And these Meng'an Mookes usually farm on their own land and graze on their own pastures when they are not fighting. They belong to an integrated military and political unit.

After the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty, these Jin Dynasty generals and the Turks who absorbed the Jin Dynasty's military technology were driven to Central Asia.

Although it was a loser in the East Asian monster room competition, this system has flourished in Central Asia and quickly became the most advanced military system in the region.

Next came the Mongol Western Expedition, which established khanates one after another and brought the khanate system with Mongolian characteristics to Central Asia.

In such rounds of development, Central Asia has always been injected with new military technologies.

For example, in Akbar's battle to recapture the capital Delhi, he used fifty cannons at once.

While using cavalry and elephant soldiers to fight, Akbar also attached great importance to the development of firearms.

However, given the level of handicraft industry in Central Asia, there was no ability to produce firearms at all, so the firearms used by the Mughal Empire were basically purchased from merchants.

But now the Mughal Empire has no ports that can trade with Western merchants.

In the past, the Mughals could still trade with Indian princes. The Portuguese had a port in Goa, India. Some Western artillery and muskets would be shipped to Goa, and then exchanged for some specialties such as Indian homespun cloth.

These Indian princes would transport muskets and artillery to the north and trade with the Womor people in exchange for spices and other specialties from Central Asia.

But as the Womor Empire began to invade India, these Indian princes began an arms embargo on the Womor Empire.

This also makes it increasingly difficult for the Womor people to obtain weapons from maritime trade.

The Safavid dynasty to the west of the Womors was an empire established by the Persians and was now competing with the Ottoman Empire.

The Safavid dynasty was also wary of the Mughals and banned the transportation of weapons from land into the Wolmor Empire.

Emperor Akbar was very distressed. Artillery and muskets had become the most important weapons of his army. Without artillery and muskets, the imperial army would have to pay a greater price to attack the city.

Emperor Akbar had no choice but to convene a meeting of his ministers to discuss how to obtain weapons amid the embargo imposed by surrounding countries.

In Akbar's political reforms, four ministers were established in the central government.

Within the Womor Empire, people are addressed by their positions.

They are "Diwan", which controls taxation and finance.

"Mir Bakshi", was the leader of the military branch.

"Mir Saman", was the chief administrator who managed the factories and warehouses.

"Sadr Us Sadr" is the head of the church and the judiciary.

In addition, there are the emperor's personal secretary "Darog y. Quser Khana" and the edict polisher "Arz y. Mukalarge"; the intelligence manager "Darog y. Da Ke Zhaoji" and the director of memorials "Mir Alz".

Among them, "Diwan" has the greatest authority, and his power is equivalent to that of the original imperial prime minister.

"Mir Saman" is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, assisting "Diwan" in his work.

"Mir Bakshi" is equivalent to the general. Since this time we were discussing weapons, Akbar also summoned "Mir Bakshi" to participate in the meeting.

The white-bearded Diwan first said: "Your Majesty, I heard that in the east, the Ming Empire was split. A force called Southeast has risen and is competing with Ming for dominance in the Central Plains."

Akbar was seated on his throne and his father was a religious scholar and had been his teacher.

The old man is proficient in the languages ​​​​of various countries. When he was young, he studied in the Holy Land of Mecca and has a deep understanding of the current world situation.

"The war in the East is escalating, and the weapons in the East are also upgrading. I heard that more powerful artillery has appeared in the East, and super explosives that can blow up towering city walls in one go. The firearms in the East have surpassed those in Europe."

Lao Diwan talked about what he heard from European businessmen.

Emperor Akbar sat upright on the throne and said with interest: "Is that empire in the east going to become powerful again?"

As an emperor in Central Asia, the palace education Akbar received contained a lot of historical content about the Eastern Empire.

In his mind, the Eastern Empire was very powerful.

The Mongols, who once plundered Central Asia and Europe, were able to be defeated by the powerful Ming Empire.

In Akbar's view, Easterners were a bit too conservative.

If he had the power of the Eastern Empire, he would have started preparing to conquer the world long ago!

But he quickly said in frustration: "But if you want to do business with Easterners, you also need a port. Now the empire has no outlet to the sea."

After realizing the importance of access to the sea, the Womor Empire turned its attention to the princes of India.

But these Indian princes fought well, and they united to resist the invasion of the Wolmor Empire.

Emperor Akbar had some difficulties. Without an outlet to the sea, he had no advanced weapons.

Without advanced weapons, there was no way to break into the cities of the Indian princes.

The embargo imposed by the Indian princes prevented him from obtaining advanced weapons.

This is an unsolvable knot.

Lao Diwan said: "Your Majesty, don't forget where our conspirators come from."

Emperor Akbar suddenly remembered.

The Turkic military leaders under his command migrated to Central Asia from the Central Asian land.

Emperor Akbar looked at his "Mir Bakshi".

His "Mir Bakshi" is a dark-haired middle-aged man with a distinctly oriental appearance.

His ancestors were Turks who were driven to Central Asia by the Mongols.

These Turks still retained the traditions of their nomadic ancestors in Central Asia. During the Mongols' Western Expeditions, these Turks were hired by the Mongols to fight.

After the decline of the Mongols, these Turks became loyal to new masters.

They can be regarded as mercenaries who have been in the army for generations. Many famous generals in Central Asia are from these Turkic tribes.

"Mir Bakshi" frowned and said: "The news from the eastern grasslands is that the Ming Empire has lost control of the northern grasslands. If we want to trade with the east, we need to pass through the territories of Yarkand, Turpan and Tumut. This is much more troublesome than getting weapons from Indian princes."

"Mir Bakshi" advocated using all his strength to attack the Indian princes and bring the entire India into the empire's territory as soon as possible.

Lao Diwan: "This trade route in the Western Regions has existed since the birth of the prophet. Now it has just been cut off. Your Majesty can send envoys. If this trade route can be opened, then we will have enough weapons to conquer those Indians." The prince is here."

"Okay! Send an envoy immediately to open up this ancient trade route!"

Emperor Akbar made a prompt decision and prepared to send envoys through the Yarkand Khanate and Turpan Khanate in an effort to establish trade contacts with the East.

Further west, Suleiman, the Ottoman god king, was seriously ill, but he still dragged his seriously ill body to go to Hungary in person.

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty in the Forbidden City was also seriously ill.
