Chapter 58
A few years passed and Mughal Empire enjoyed peace. The peace wasn't meant to last when the sultan started another reconquest on the Deccans. Ceylon came to the aid of the Deccans while the sultan decided to call in three of his vassals. The Deccans have rebuilt their main force and the sultan wanted his troops to focus on those troops while his vassals did the sieges.
The ruler of Ceylon made the right decision of asking for a white peace. The sultan, with no intention of taking over Ceylon territory, decided to agree. Meanwhile, there was a minor problem in Hamadan. The missionary apparently angered the local populace. The sultan didn't send any troops as he believed that the rumors of uprising was merely spread by his enemies. After a month, it became clear that the sultan was right about this. In that month, a breakthrough was made in land technology which saw more armaments available for the Mughal army. With the war going on, the sultan decided to put off the arming of his troops with new armaments.
Not long after, some people of conquered lands finally realized that the Mughal sultan was indeed the best ruler for them. They all swore allegiance in hopes of continuing serving under the great empire. To prove their loyalty, the full amount of taxes was paid and the Mughal treasury began filling up quicker than before. While the people were proving their loyalty, Georgia continued their bad habit of picking a fight they would lose.
In the war against Deccan, there were three possible defections. However, the sultan decided to turn down one of the defections. The province of Mewar rightfully belonged to the Mughal Empire. The sultan, considering his reputation, decided that he can take it later with no hit on his reputation. During the war, rebels began rising up against the Deccans and one group, the Madurai, succeeded in breaking free. It was deja vu all over again when Georgia ruler asked for a white peace. Soon after, another breakthrough in land technology saw the possibility of musketeers entering the Mughal army. The Deccan ruler, fearing to challenge such an army, begged for peace. The sultan took what he wanted and thus peace was restored temporarily.
