Silence, for the first time, Nikan fell into a long silence.

“In the face of religious beliefs, a good life is still a bit fragile.”

He closed his eyes and according to his usual thinking, he soon discovered some clues.

"According to Wang Wenhui, Mirza went to Shiva Oasis along a secret road. According to the report of the secret spies arranged in Shiva in our country, they met at the Yuejibian Fort. They are relatives. There is no problem with meeting, and there is no problem with walking the secret road. This road has been learned by our army. It is much closer than the Chidao. They are old people in the desert, so they will naturally choose a closer road."

"But if you just visit relatives, you will not choose to meet in Yuejibianbao, but will go to Yulong Jiechi or Shiva. Meeting there can only be a concealment. What will they discuss?"

"In the first half of the year, Mirza organized some nobles from Xiaoyuz to Mecca to make a pilgrimage. After returning from Mecca, his actions became active. It seems that he must have encountered something in the holy land or halfway through. What would it be? The holy land is under the jurisdiction of the Ottomans. If they stand on their side and receive some people from Daxia, a Daxia who defeated them on the sea and on land not long ago, what would they do?"

He suddenly opened his eyes, "Do we have spies in the Holy Land?"

Wang Wenhui shook her head, "I'm sorry, the Ottomans have very strict jurisdiction over the holy land. The officials who manage, the people and the army who serve them are all carefully selected from the various governors' jurisdictions. Since their defeat in our country, no one from near the Black Sea has appeared there. Not only that, because they are enemies of the Persians, even the Persians have been excluded."

"That's not all. Anyone who is qualified to serve there has been registered with the Tianfang Temples of the Ottoman Empire and has served in the empire for more than 20 years..."

Nikan nodded. This was obviously directed at the Daxia Kingdom, but he also grasped the key point: "Twenty years? Their policy should have only been implemented in recent years."

"Yes, it was only implemented at the beginning of this year. Due to the limited reception capacity there, the Ottomans, mainly the institutions where the Great Mufti are located, will issue some quotas to believers who believe in the Tianfang Sect every few years, and the distributors are widely used, ranging from countries in the Nanyang Islands, from Persia, North Africa, and East Africa."

"Then Mirza has no clues at all when he goes this time?"

"No, as before, there are high-ranking officials and ordinary people, and there are many people, so there is no way to check it out, but..."

"But what?"

"Baghdad returned to the hands of the Ottomans in the last war. Our country set up a warehouse with very few people there, naturally under the name of Alannaar. At that time, after the war between the Persians and the Ottomans ended, the two sides reached an agreement that the place east of the Tigris River belonged to Persia and the place west belonged to the Ottomans. Since there were a large number of believers who believed in Shiites, the Ottomans did not have close control over it."

"The Persians believed in Shiites. At the same time as Mirza, the religious leaders of Persia based in Isfahan also appeared there. Later, our people had not seen this person for a long time. Since there were people outside staring at the road back to Persia, it only means that this person also went to Mecca!"

"But this doesn't mean anything. Although they believe in different sects, they all respect the holy lands very much and go there to make pilgrimage every few years. Although the countries are different, they will not stop the religious Ottomans."

"No!"

Nikan suddenly opened his eyes.

"There must be something strange here. Do you think, why did the Ottomans limit their time to twenty years? It's not because the Kingdom of Daxia officially intervened in Anxi, which was the last fifteen years. This matter needs to be specifically directed at our country. At this time, the reputation of our country's gray-clothed guard had long been spread to the West Asia area."

"Remember, never take it for granted! Our country is strong and can cope with the challenges of several countries alone. Under such conditions, other countries can only have the opportunity to win if they become a group. As the leader of the Tianfang Cult world, did the Ottomans not have such thoughts? Coprolu's trip to the Vatican showed this."

"Before going to the Vatican, they must unite the world of Tianfang Cult. In West Asia, several countries that can be used are Persia, Kazakhs and Shiva. If I were the Great Mufti of the Ottoman Empire, I would definitely use the opportunity of believers to pilgrimage to gather all the minds together. Using the name of Allah and using the form of jihad is a natural opportunity for them to gather together."

"I guess that before going to the Vatican, Koprolu probably also went to Mecca. He didn't have to go by land to Mecca. He took a boat to Alexander directly, then went ashore across the Sinai Peninsula and entered the Red Sea, and then arrived in Mecca by boat. It would be no surprise that old Koprolu would combine many forces in the name of jihad in Mecca."

Wang Wenhui felt a stern, "So, when we were in the last meeting, what we had discussed would most likely come true?"

Nikan nodded, "The Persians have probably intervened. I'm afraid that the powerful Shiva Khanate is among them. No one has seen him in the past five years. Some people say that he recites scriptures behind closed doors, but no one has seen him, so he can't count them. Maybe he has been there. When Shiva Khanate joined the Daxia League, there were at least one million people. It was really a powerful country. Their joining my country was just temporary. Once our country faced a major crisis, they could rebel at any time."

"That little Yuzi?"

"It's just a coincidence. At present, the lives of ordinary people in Xiaoyuz's Zedouer Alliance are not only several times better than before. In the east coast of the Caspian Sea, heavy snow and severe droughts were common. Mirza adopted a strict head-on system and confused them with religion. Their so-called high-ranking nobles enjoyed a life that was more than ten times higher than that of ordinary people, but ordinary people were in distress."

"After having no choice but to join Daxia, half of the tribes joined the Bogra division and were directly under the jurisdiction of the Government Council, and half of the tribes had to be under the jurisdiction of the Lifan Court. Although there were 10,000 households in the nominal tribes, the ones who were truly willing to be under his control were his former direct line, one thousand personal guards, and this thousand personal guards controlled 20,000 core tribes."

"Mirza and others will definitely not be able to hold back such a gap. If I guess well, Mizar will definitely take a mission to go to Shiva this time. In the Anxi area, the only one who can move him is the Ottoman Empire."

"Who killed him? He also blamed our army?"

"This is also something I am a little confused. In theory, Mizar came from the Oasis of Shiva and met Anusa. Anusa is definitely the most suspicious. However, if Anusa wants to launch a rebellion that is unfavorable to our country, it is the best choice to make good use of Mizar's influence near the Caspian Sea. What's the benefit of killing him? What's more, if our country wants to kill Mizar, it doesn't need to kill him secretly in a sparsely populated area like Bainu. You can do it by recruiting him to Atlau or Orenburg. Killing him secretly will not be of any benefit to our country. These tribal leaders who were urged will have a little brain that will not think of it."

Wang Wenhui seemed to have caught something, and his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, most of them are what he did. Think about it, near the Aral Sea, except for the Shivas, the Zeduer people, occasionally Turkmen will break into this area, but the Turkmens do not have the strength to make up our army to kill Mizar."

"So it's possible that only the Shiva people. Although Mirza is unbearable, she still has great prestige in the Zedouer League. He is only fifty years old. When he was young and strong, his sons have grown up. His main opponents have already broken away from the alliance and joined the two houses of our country. There is no motive to pretend to be our army to kill him. But everything is not absolute. In the alliance, there are several other people who were second only to Mirza. These people also went to Mecca last time. The situation of these people is similar to that of Mirza. However, Wei Chen still can't understand. In this situation, what reason do they have to turn against Daxia? Do they still have the chance to become the sultan of Xiaoyuzi? If they have a little bit of their mind, they won't think so."

"Anusa is the most suspicious. As long as Mizar is killed, it will cause all tribes that are dependent on our country, at least among the heads. Even if these people will slowly wake up, at the critical moment when our country attacks Junggar, as long as a few people are deceived for a while, on this grassland, the herdsmen have been used to being scared for thousands of years. If there is any movement, they will follow them blindly. We have to be careful."

Nikan's face now, "No hurry, I have a plan for this section."

Wang Wenhui felt a stern in his heart. He knew what the emperor was talking about. In addition to the gray-clothed guard system, there was also the Yinglong Society, which was controlled by the emperor himself. This Yinglong Society appeared in the army in formal terms, that is, to register all large and small, join the army. In the government system, industrial and mining system, farmers and herdsmen, it was a secret organization. After the empire included those tribes under the control of the Daxia Kingdom, it naturally accepted a large number of people loyal to the emperor. Most of these people were educated in schools at all levels in the Daxia Kingdom. After being tested, they entered all walks of life, and most of them held important positions.

Not to mention, a considerable number of people served as chief positions in which centurion and thousand men were previously held, and their names were replaced by county magistrates, township magistrates, village magistrates, etc. Some of these people belong to the government affairs department system, and some belong to the Lifanyuan system, but without exception, they were all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

In this way, the only one who can get up and cause trouble is the little nobles who still rely on the Sultan and are more than officials. There are not many of these people, only about 10% of the pastoral households.

Thinking through these questions, Wang Wenhui couldn't help but relax her face.

"In the tribal cavalry that was drawn, there are naturally these hidden members of the Yinglong Society. I am afraid that they are still members of the Yinglong Society who hold important positions. Even if a few people cause trouble, they will not be able to make a big fuss. Even this Yinglong Society is very little known, and the people outside are even confused. If Mirza was killed, it was Anusa who did it, he might have failed."

Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty, although the tribe has been solved, the matters of Shiva, Kazakhs, and even Persia, Ottoman are still hanging on their heads. At some point, they will emerge from somewhere and be unpredictable."

Nikan did not directly answer his question, but asked: "What's wrong with Shukuldaiqing?"

Wang Wenhui was stunned and thought to herself: "It would be good if the Turkut tribe can protect itself in this situation. How can we use our strength?"

But he had to answer the emperor's question, and said: "In the past ten years, with the help of our country, they have completely occupied the pastures of the Caucasus Mountains in a recent large-scale war, and have migrated 20,000 nomadic tribes there."

"Because they had adopted a harsh killing strategy in the North Caucasus area before, most of the Chechens, Abkhazis and Dagestans who believed in the Tianfang Cult escaped into the mountains. After this war, those people had to escape into Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and other places. Now Georgia belongs to the Ottoman Empire, while Azerbaijan belongs to the Persians..."

He suddenly realized something, "Your Majesty, what you mean..."

"Your Majesty atones for his sins. The Ministry of Justice will report the current situation of the Turkuts. After more than ten years of development, the tribe has grown to more than 80,000 households and 500,000 households. If the North Caucasians who surrendered to them are added, the total population will be close to one million, but those who stay in the North Caucasus area are all farmers."

"Today they are the only tribe qualified to have flintlock muskets. They have five regular musket cavalry corps, and five infantry corps dominated by the Alan and Nogai people. With such a force, since it is our country in the north, there is no worries. 30,000 cavalry can be drawn. 30,000 infantry will break into Georgia and Azerbaijan, stir up the situation in the Southern Caucasus, and attract the eyes of the Persians and Ottomans there."
