A few days later, Li Yongxuan selected 30,000 strong men from the Pandya Kingdom and organized them into an army to cooperate with the allied forces of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Kakatiya, and the Cherro Kingdom to attack the Hoysala Dynasty.

The Hoysala dynasty was originally affiliated with the Chalukya dynasty of Kalyana. It was not until 1190 that it split off and became independent, with its capital at Dolmudra.

It once defeated the Yadava dynasty and conquered some places in Tamil, making it the most powerful force in South Asia.

Their temples have magnificent architecture, usually polygonal or star-shaped, and are very distinctive.

Before the end of the year, King Veena Senshavana of the Hoysala dynasty opened the gates of the capital and surrendered to the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

It only took more than two months from the beginning of the war to the end of the war.

The Hoysala dynasty, known as the most powerful force in South Asia, was ultimately unable to withstand the massive and fierce coalition forces and was on its way to destruction.

In order to strengthen the control and management of the occupied areas, Li Yongxuan dispatched a group of officials from the Kingdom of Heaven to take charge of management before going on the expedition, and sent a small number of troops to ensure security.

He asked the Kakatiya Kingdom and Jero's men to kill all the royal nobles of the Pandya Kingdom, and also asked the reorganized Pandya Kingdom troops to kill the royal nobles of the Hoysala dynasty.

Killing these royal nobles will not only facilitate management, but also deepen the conflicts between various countries, preventing Asan from being monolithic and difficult to control in the future.

Not long after, Li Yongxuan selected 50,000 strong men from the Hoysala dynasty and organized them into an army.

While restoring the administrative order of the Hoysala dynasty, he began to prepare to attack the Yadava dynasty.

Now, except for the Yadava dynasty, the countries south of the Delhi Sultanate have either formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven or been completely conquered by the coalition forces.

Li Yongxuan arranged some officials in the conquered Pandiya Kingdom and Hoysala Dynasty, and deployed 20,000 troops to ensure the rule of the occupied areas.

In fact, the military morale of the Pandiya Kingdom and Hoysala Dynasty had been completely defeated by the heavenly army.

Not to mention after death.

They completely lost the courage to compete with the heavenly army. Thinking of the ferocious artillery and muskets of the heavenly army, the men and horses of the Pandya Kingdom and the Hoysala Dynasty were more than satisfied.

The 10,000 Heavenly Army may not seem like much, but it is enough to intimidate Xiao Xiao. If someone really raises an army to cause trouble, they must consider facing the suppression of the Heavenly Army.

It can't even defeat the overwhelming power of the country. Now that the country has been destroyed, who dares to contend with the heavenly army?

The Yadava Dynasty was surrounded by the sea to the west, the Delhi Sultanate to the north, and the Kakatiya Kingdom and the Hoysala Dynasty to the east and southeast respectively.

After learning that the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Kakatiya, and the Jeluo Allied Forces had sent troops to eliminate the Kingdom of Pandya, the Hoysala Dynasty, and the Yadava Dynasty King Ma III in just a few months, as well as the soldiers and civilians, they felt panic

.

While Ma III dispatched troops to defend important border cities and coastal ports, he also sent people to request an alliance from the Delhi Sultanate.

He knew that with the current military strength of the Yadava dynasty, it was impossible to withstand the violent attack of the coalition forces. It was very likely that the country would be destroyed and the family would be destroyed. He could not care about the dispute with the Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultanate received the information and started a debate.

Some people think that they should agree and send troops to help the Yadava dynasty resist the coalition attack.

Some people think that the Delhi Sultanate has long-standing grievances with the Yadava dynasty, and there is no reason to be thankless and send troops to help the Yadava dynasty, offending the kingdom of heaven and the coalition forces...

Some people also think that the Delhi Sultanate will go to war with the Kingdom of Heaven sooner or later. With the help of the Yadava Dynasty to fight against the three-nation coalition, the victory rate will be greater.

Some people even proposed that they should send troops immediately to take this opportunity to carve up the Yadava Dynasty with the coalition forces and obtain benefits...

The Delhi Sultanate was still arguing, so Li Yongxuan led hundreds of thousands of coalition troops to attack the Yadava dynasty.

The Yadava dynasty was stronger and had a larger area, but its strength was still obviously inferior to that of the Hoysala dynasty. Even the Kakatiya kingdom would invade from time to time.

Facing an army of more than 600,000 people led by Li Yongxuan, the Yadava dynasty had no way to compete.

After only holding on for more than a month, Devagiri, the capital of the Yadava dynasty, fell completely, and the desperate King Ma III had to lead his army out of the city to surrender.

As a result, all the southern parts of South Asia became the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven, or its allies.

At this time, it was already the end of January 1251, and there were only a few days until the New Year.

While Li Yongxuan was discussing meritorious service and rewarding him, he also asked his soldiers to rest and prepare for the decisive battle.

He vigorously promoted the language and culture of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Ceylon he occupied, the Pandya Kingdom, the Hoysala Dynasty, and the Yadava Dynasty, and encouraged his soldiers to marry South Asian women, thereby achieving the goal of long-term peace and stability.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yongxuan began to integrate strategic resources from all over South Asia, collect intelligence, and prepare for a war with the Delhi Sultanate that dominated the north of South Asia.

In 1206, the last emperor of the Gur Dynasty, Muhammad Gur, was assassinated. He left no heirs during his lifetime. Qutbuddin, who was loyal to Muhammad at that time, took the opportunity and became the successor of the dynasty.

He took advantage of the fact that the north of Asan had been divided for a long time and there were many small countries, which exhausted the national power in the protracted war and caused the people to suffer severe disasters, and led his army to the war.

Qutbuddin chose the right time to eliminate or surrender most of the countries in the north of Asan in a very short period of time, and established the Delhi Sultanate, the first independent empire in Asan's history.

Qutbuddin was a devout Christian who spread Christianity through military conquest, and his policies were far more radical than those of the original Arabs.

During the expansion of the Arab Empire, people in conquered lands could retain their faith as long as they paid a capitation tax.

Qutbuddin's behavior in Asan was completely different. He burned, killed, and looted, destroyed Buddhist temples and Asan temples, and forced pagans to accept the "religion of the Prophet." The conquered people either accepted Christianity or died.

One way.

Buddhism and Asan religion were severely hit at the same time. Many Asan temples and Buddhist temples were looted and burned, and mosques were built on their original sites.

Burning, killing and looting had a greater impact on Buddhism, because Buddhism was mainly concentrated in a few prosperous areas in the north and east of Asan. As long as these areas were occupied, Buddhist temples could be completely destroyed and the effective force of Buddhism could be eliminated.

Asan religious temples are scattered all over Asan, from big cities to small villages. The invaders cannot control every city and village in India, and naturally they cannot eradicate Hinduism.

More importantly, the philosophical thought and social program of Asan Religion has penetrated into every corner of Indian society. Any foreign ruler must use Asan Religion to control Asan.

The golden age of Buddhism has long passed, and its impact on Asan society is far less profound than that of Asan religion.

After adjustment and resistance, the Asan religion reached a compromise with the Japanese conquerors and continued to survive and develop. However, the Buddhist doctrine of "non-violence" made it impossible for believers to take up arms on their own and organize the masses to resist the enemy's attacks.

Li Yongxuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he learned that the Delhi Sultanate had initially adopted an attitude of exterminating both the Asan religion and Buddhism, but now it was adopting a more tolerant policy towards the Asan religion.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The Delhi Sultanate is facing internal and external troubles. Not only the Mongolian Empire, the Kingdom of Heaven, other communist countries in Central Asia, and nomads are coveting the wealthy Asan, but there are also fierce internal conflicts in the ruling group of the Delhi Sultanate, civil strife, and coups.

Under this critical situation, continuing the persecution of the Asan religion would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, the Delhi Sultanate took certain tolerant measures, changed its brutal policy at the beginning, and instead levied a capitation tax on the Asan believers.

.

Asan religious people are burdened with heavy taxes. Except for the poll tax, all tax rates are heavier than those in Japan.

On the surface, the Delhi Sultanate ruled almost the entire northern Asan, occupying two-thirds of the territory of Asan.

In fact, many Asan princes only surrendered in form, and there was still a long way to go before substantive unity.

Even within the scope of the direct jurisdiction of the Delhi Sultanate, Christianity could not occupy a completely dominant position.

Because the entire social structure of Asan is based on Asan religion, especially in the vast rural areas, rule cannot be maintained without Asan religion, and taxes cannot be collected without Asan religion.

For the majority of Asan farmers, Asan religion is the religion of their ancestors. Although it has many ideas that oppress the people, such as the caste system, these ideas have penetrated into the bone marrow of Indians and are indispensable to their national culture.

The missing part.

Not only Ah San has religious beliefs, but the Kingdom of Heaven also has sects, such as Taoism, Buddhism, Quanzhen Sect, Zoroastrianism...

Li Yongxuan was worshiped as a god by the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Heaven. He still preferred Taoism's rule of inaction, but did not support or promote it.

He felt that as long as it did not hinder the economic and social development of the Kingdom of Heaven, there was no need to interfere.

After the heavenly army successfully captured the Pandya Kingdom, the Hoysala Dynasty, and the Yadava Dynasty, Li Yongxuan did not suppress the Asan, Buddhist, and Christian believers.

He killed the royal families and nobles of various countries, distributed all the land equally to the people of each country, and collected taxes that were far less heavy than those of the previous dynasties.

In recent years, various countries in the southern part of Asan have fought against each other, wasting a lot of human and material resources, and the taxes on the working people are naturally very heavy.

Fighting requires a lot of manpower and will cause a lot of casualties, so naturally there will be fewer people farming.

There are fewer people farming the land, so they receive less taxes. In order to collect more taxes, the ruling class can only increase the taxes on the working people, so it becomes more and more heavy...

After resting for a few days, Li Yongxuan began to plan to send troops to conquer the Delhi Sultanate.

He sent people to contact the Donggang Dynasty and the Solanki Kingdom, asking them to send troops together to attack the Delhi Sultanate in the north.

Although these two small countries are small in power, it should not be difficult to gather a hundred and eighty thousand troops together.

At the same time, Li Yongxuan recruited troops from the Pandiya Kingdom, the Hoysala Dynasty, and the Yadava Dynasty that he occupied from the Kingdom of Heaven, and prepared to sweep away the Delhi Sultanate with a thunderous force.

The Delhi Sultanate has a territory of 16.7 million square kilometers, a total population of nearly 30 million, and a military strength of 2 million.

These conquered and ruled areas nominally belong to the Delhi Sultanate. In fact, they are divided into three situations: areas directly controlled by the central federation are called state-owned lands, mainly limited to Delhi and the river area; areas controlled by provincial governors; areas controlled by ministers

An area governed by a Hindu king or chief.

The Delhi Sultanate only levied land tax on the first two areas, and only required annual tribute on the latter area. They did not confiscate all the land occupied by the feudal princes and indigenous chiefs of the Asan religion who surrendered. They could still control their own territories.

And enjoy the privilege of being exempted from land taxes.

The ruling policy of the Delhi Sultanate was a political system, and the ruler combined royal power and divine power.

The Central Federation is divided into thirty departments.

The Chief Minister is nominally in charge of various ministries, but in fact only manages the finances.

He, the Military Governor, the Minister of Religion and Justice, the Confidential Secretary and the Minister of Intelligence became the four pillars of the Delhi Sultanate.

In addition, a provincial local governance system was established, with local military aristocrats in charge.

Different from Li Yongxuan's equal distribution of land, the Delhi Sultanate granted the conquered Asan land to the Japanese military feudal nobles and mosques with military merit in various forms as their military feudal fiefdoms and religious buildings.

Produce.

According to the information collected, the ethnic, religious and class conflicts in the Delhi Sultanate are very acute, and popular uprisings and sectarian movements continue to break out.
