Chapter 605: The Sumerian Royal Family
An Huaze, the governor of Babylon in the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Mingsi, the commander of the local garrison, did not want Tang Zhaozong to interfere with their rule in the local area, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb when Tang Zhaozong arrived after having been ruled by Tang Zhangwei.
These people didn't know what Tang Zhaozong wanted to do when they came to their territory, but as long as they didn't threaten their rule, these people could continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Unfortunately, Tang Zhaozong had a conflict with the Sumerians and the Eagle's Nest killers, and this conflict forced them to intervene in person.
These people wanted to mediate this conflict, but what they didn't expect was that the Sumerian royal family did not provide them with face at all.
When these Sumerians rushed towards them with the black donkey chariots, these local rulers of the Tang Dynasty had to come out to deal with the Sumerians and the Eagle's Nest killers.
Those Eagle's Nest killers with daggers had to find ways to escape because they were shot with muskets under Tang Zhaozong's men and were attacked by the Tang Dynasty's troops.
However, whether it was Tang Zhaozong's subordinates or the Tang Dynasty's army, it was these people who they focused on attacking.
Because, the emperor system in Tang Zhaozong's head, and the intelligence system in the mind of the governor of Babylon in the Tang Dynasty, all know that this guy is dangerous.
The Sumerians had to find a way to send their royal family away, and they built many buildings, the most famous of which were the Tower Temple, which was built on a huge platform.
The Tower of Babel in the Holy Cross was similarly built, and the Sumerians believed that man could only survive under God's mercy.
So they built a lot of pagoda temples, which lasted for a long time, but other Sumerian buildings were not so lucky.
There was a lack of stone quarries and trees in the Plains of the Two Rivers, so Sumerian buildings were made of mud bricks, with no mortar or cement connections between bricks. Mud brick buildings deteriorate over time, so they have to be demolished, bulldozed and rebuilt over time. Over time, the cities of the Two Rivers Plain were raised as a result. Such monuments are called Taylor, and they are everywhere in the Babylonian province of the Tang Dynasty.
The most spectacular and important Sumerian buildings are the Sumerian temple and the palace of the Sumerian royal family.
In these places, more complex structures and techniques such as pillars, chambers, and clay nails are used.
The Sumerian round seal also bears traces of the city of Tianzhu, indicating that the Central Plains Dynasty ruled these places before the Tang Dynasty.
In the Shang Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, the so-called Su country was the Sumerians, and the famous beauty Daji came from here.
In the Babylonian administrative region of the Tang Dynasty, the southern swamps are still used by the Arabs in reed-made houses.
Of course, these rooms were connected by secret rooms, and by virtue of these secret rooms, the Sumerian royal family was able to escape.
The Sumerian royal family and the Eagle's Nest Killers were close to victory, and they united to attack Tang Zhaozong, but unfortunately in the end these people failed to break through Tang Zhaozong's defenses.
Therefore, the wealth of those Sumerians belonged to Tang Zhaozong.
Everyone in the Tang Dynasty was respectful to Tang Zhaozong, and the governors of the overseas provinces of the Tang Dynasty should also be responsible to Tang Zhaozong in theory, but in fact these people were only responsible to Tang Zhangwei.
Therefore, Tang Zhaozong just smiled at these people's respect, he didn't take it seriously, if you really take these things seriously, then many things will not end well.
It was precisely because Tang Zhaozong was very smart that he was able to become friends with Tang Zhangwei, the de facto ruler of the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that Tang Zhangwei, like other rulers, has been in power for a long time, and then he has gone to the opposite of himself.
In Tang Zhangwei's eyes, Tang Zhaozong and these people were bent on threatening their rule.
Therefore, Tang Zhangwei instructed the governor of the Babylon administrative region of the Tang Dynasty to serve Tang Zhaozong well. However, don't let Tang Zhaozong raise troops locally.
As a result, Tang Zhangwei's goal was achieved, because Tang Zhaozong did not raise troops locally at all.
On the contrary, this Tang Zhaozong hired a group of people and began to desperately excavate the abandoned Sumerian ruins.
At first, An Huaze, the governor of Babylon of the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Mingsi, the commander of the local garrison, were amused, because the locals had also excavated in the Sumerian homeland, but they could not dig up anything except the clay tablets.
The writing on those clay tablets forms a cuneiform, so this kind of writing is called cuneiform.
In order to preserve the clay tablets for a long time, the Sumerians dried them before firing them. These fired clay tablets are not afraid of insects and do not rot, and these clay tablets can withstand fire. But the fly in the ointment is that the clay tablets are very bulky, each piece weighs about a kilogram, and each piece has to be laboriously moved around.
In the local area, there are more than one million clay tablets excavated, the largest of which is three meters long and two meters wide, which is a huge book.
Of course, the Sumerians also had simple books of paper and animal skins, but none of these books survived and passed through the ages.
Only the Sumerian royal family, who lived in the swamps, knew about this.
Those scholars of the Great Soup are treasures for those clay books. However, in the palaces of the Sumerians themselves, they regarded the clay tablets only as records of important covenants and as exercises for students and scribes.
These clay tablets have been branded locally, but no one knows about the really top-secret paper and animal skin books.
The local Sumerian royal family fled into the swamps of the Tang Babylonian administrative region, and these people received the blessings of others.
When these people are worshipped as gods by the locals, if they are blessed, the locals think that they will get good luck.
Otherwise, the locals consider themselves unacceptable to the gods.
It was because of the protection of these people that the Sumerian first heir to the royal family, Heienzo, was not killed.
Heenzo comforted the other members of the royal family and said, "Tang Zhaozong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely have a conflict with the governor of the Babylonian administrative region, our ancestors have left too much wealth, and they will definitely eat each other over who can inherit this wealth." ”
In order to boost morale, the Sumerian royal family, Heienzo, held a ceremony to succeed the king for the first heir to the Sumerian royal family.
Of course, this is a small-scale succession ceremony, and no one dares to hold an event on a large scale.
Those painful lessons made them not dare to be too high-profile, after all, there are too many examples of Sumerian royal families being killed by local rulers.
However, Heenzo lit a bonfire and grilled fish on the bonfire, which tasted so good that Heenzo liked it very much.
The Sumerian nobles, as well as the emissaries of the Eagle's Nest killers, were present at the ceremony.
