Chapter 1414: Persepolis
Khazar delivered a box of books and left satisfied.
Of course, he also knew that this box of books was insignificant, and he could get the support of the Tang people, relying only on his own usable value.
As long as Mansur does not die, and as long as Ctesiphon's court exists, Elam will inevitably become a formidable opponent against him.
The sloppy and simple ceremonies, the Janissaries formed by the refugees, none of this was what a caliph should be, but only then did al-Mansur not feel threatened.
The tribal chiefs who came to the ceremony must have had someone tell the caliph what had happened.
After Susa's mission was completed, Qin Jin began to inspect the east again, and the process of inspection was also the process of returning east.
At the same time, the Shenwu Army, which was determined to retreat eastward, would also join it on the road one after another.
A day later, Qin Jin arrived in Boslis, where officials organized a grand welcoming ceremony.
Old Zamas dragged his trembling body and personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him.
According to the previous agreement, this will be the new capital after the restoration of Persia.
The cronies who followed Zamas arrived in Boslis and began to prepare for the new capital and the restoration of the country.
Entering the city of Boslis, the first impression of Qin Jin was very different from that of most Persian cities.
There are various temples on both sides of the reception here, including Persianism, Great Food Religion, and some unknown ones. The Great Food Country did not burn down pagan temples, nor did it ban other religions, but only imposed a heavy poll tax.
This was done relatively mildly, and did not provoke a strong revolt, and after a hundred years, the pagan temples were in extreme depression, and there was not much left to be cut off.
"Will the poll tax continue to be levied?"
Qin Jin suddenly asked Zamas, who was accompanying him, a question.
Zamas paused for a moment, and replied somewhat unnaturally:
"I have only been here for a short time, and all the measures of law are still maintaining the ...... when the Great Cannibal was located"
"Stop the poll tax first, this must be done immediately, Perselis should not reject any religion!"
In Qin Jin's plan, Persilis would become a gathering place for elite monks from all religions, so the poll tax had to be abolished immediately.
"Yes, I wrote it down!"
"Also, did you inform Kuth Lao of his return?"
As the heir of Zamas, Kusi Lao naturally had to rush back to participate in the restoration ceremony, and he couldn't lead the troops all the time.
"The war in Tianzhu Kingdom is coming to an end, so it will be too late for him to come back after the final battle. ”
Zamas was clearly not in a hurry to bring Kuth back to his back, but instead recruited many of his cronies in the city of Dimdo.
With them, they can take over Persilis as soon as possible.
Boselis was not captured in battle, when the Shenwu army made a gesture of going south after defeating the Mahdi, the magistrate in charge of guarding the local Great Food did not hesitate to choose to surrender, and sacrificed the city that originally belonged to the Great Food in exchange for the benefits of their respective families.
Qin Jin did not hesitate to satisfy them, and the vested interests of each of their families were preserved, and even more benefits and promises were obtained.
The Great Cannibals were not monolithic, and many local nobles did not even care who would be the caliph, or even create a separate state.
In the minds of the vast majority of cannibals, there has always been a consciousness that has been solidified for thousands of years, and the tribe is their everything. As long as the tribe can prosper for a long time, it doesn't matter what kind of food, Tang or Persia.
Qin and Jin also have some understanding of this point, which is also extremely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and it is better to be inclusive by not going to extremes.
Kuslao led an elite Persian army that had been trained in the conquest of India into a truly elite army.
Zamas is not in a hurry to let them come back, but also intends to further train and train this army.
This army was the treasure of Zamas, and at the beginning of the expedition to India, Zamas did not agree much, fearing that they would become a stepping stone for the Tang people.
However, it turned out that the Tang had no intention of using the Persians as a stepping stone, and the border army from Ansi quickly defeated the princely states entrenched in northwestern India, and then made a breakthrough into India.
At the strong request of Kusilao, Zamas finally stopped hindering him, and a large number of Persians followed in the footsteps of the Tang people into the Tianzhu Kingdom.
Qin Jin is not accustomed to the current people calling India Tianzhu, so he has always called it India, and under his leadership, many people have also changed the name of Tianzhu to India.
The combat effectiveness of the princely state army there is low, and even a few hundred soldiers of the Shenwu army can chase after the tens of thousands of princely state troops.
Moreover, it is said that India is full of gold, and Zamas hopes that Kusi Lao can bring back more loot, after all, there are too many places to use money after the restoration of Persia, and the loot brought back can also solve the urgent need.
After Zamas left the Vedata, he had already begun to hand over the territory of the Vedota and others in Tochar to the Shenwu Army. He was 100 percent willing to accept Qin Jin's strategy of exchanging land.
In every respect, Periss is far superior to the remote and secluded Dim.
Moreover, Persius was once the capital of Persia, and a large number of Persians lived here, which were the basis for his state.
To tell the truth, Zamas has never really believed in the Tang people, and has always had a lot of vigilance in his heart, and every time he deals with the Tang people, he has a twelve-point spirit, for fear that he will fall into the pit dug by the Tang people if he is not careful.
So far, the Tang people have no such intentions, and the Persians have been driven by the Tang people in exchange for rich rewards.
Therefore, Zamas was relatively satisfied, and gradually let down his guard.
Qin Jin made a general observation on the way into the city, Zamas, as the king of Persia, did not have many guards around him, which was not a good phenomenon, so he kindly reminded:
"This place has been ruled by the Great Cannibals for a hundred years, and security must be taken into account to prevent the Assassins from taking advantage of it!"
"Thank you Prime Minister for your reminder, it's just that there are too many places to use people in the past two days, so they are all sent out, and the officials here are also brought from Dutuoduo, they are all very reliable, please rest assured that there will be no irrelevant people mixed in!"
Regarding Zamas's assurance, Qin Jin only nodded noncommittally, he didn't want to interfere in Zamas's policy, and this old guy was a person who was not easy to deal with, if he said too much, it would disgust him.
Moreover, Zamas's superficial hardness did not have much confidence, and neither Mador Boselis had enough grain to feed so many people.
Sure enough, Zamas turned around and made his request.
