Chapter 899: Each Trick (2)
Siji promised Jiang Anyi to protect the life of Prince Longgai, and the Pahuo Sect helped and asked the queen to ask the prince to govern in a timely manner, etc., and strongly asked Jiang Anyi not to kill people indiscriminately and cause panic. Jiang Anyi was satisfied with this result, he knew that his role in Xinyi City was limited, and Siji could help Longgai with all his might, and Longgai finally had a glimmer of hope.
Jiang Anyi believed in Siji's promise, but he felt that he should add a note, and said with a smile: "The Pahuo Sect also has followers in Huazhou, and I would like to ask the Siji Sect Master to send a priest to Huazhou to preach, and Jiang can allow the Pahuo Sect to build a temple in Huazhou." β
"Seriously", Si Ji's eyebrows trembled, and he said excitedly: "Lord Jiang allowed the Pahuo Sect to preach in Huazhou. Seeing Jiang Anyi smiling and nodding, Si Ji couldn't help but kneel down facing the holy fire, raised his palms high and prayed to his face: "The blazing holy fire, burning forever, the god of light, shines on the earth, and eliminates evil for good......
Pahuoism arose in the country of Moju 1,200 years ago, more than hundreds of years earlier than in Islam and Buddhism, but with the gradual rise of Islam in the country of Moju, the lord of the country of Moju, the leader of the country of Moju, began to expel the Pahuo, and finally declared the Pahuoism a cult, and ordered the destruction of the temple of the Pahuoism in the Moju country, causing the holy flame to be extinguished.
However, before the destruction of the Pazoroastrian Cult, the leader of the sect at that time divided the priests in the temple into dozens of squads and rushed to all sides with the holy fire in the temple, and one of them came to the country of Lumi. Later, the kingdom of Lu Mi was divided into the three kingdoms of Shasu, Changlan, and Jusu, and the Pahuojiao established themselves in the Shasu country, while the other branches were either extinguished or dying in hundreds of years, and the future of the Pahuoism was shrouded in darkness.
Si Ji helped the Tule family coup d'Γ©tat to succeed, Rona made the Pa Zoro the state religion according to the promise, so that the flame that was about to be extinguished could be continued, many remnants of the Pa Huo priests came to pilgrimage from all over the country, and the New Year's Day of the Pa Zoroastrian Sect in Shasu Country became the most important festival every year, and Si Ji was regarded by the congregation as the leader of the Zhongxing Sect of the Pa Zoroastrian Sect, and the responsibility and pressure on him can be imagined, which is also the reason why Si Ji is unwilling to help Long Gai easily. Once Longai loses, Tulezan holds the Pa Zoroastrian responsible, and the last hope of the Na Pa Zoroastrian will be dashed.
After all, the Pahuo Sect has a long history, and some merchants who believe in the Pahuo Sect have brought their teachings to the territory of Zheng State, but the teachings of the Pahuo Sect are strict, except for some merchants in the Western Regions, there are very few Zheng people who believe in it, let alone build temples. Jiang Anyi was the envoy of Huazhou, and he agreed to allow the Pa Huo Sect to establish a temple in Hua Prefecture to spread, which was no less news to Si Ji than when Rona declared the Lipa Fire Sect the state religion.
The population of Zheng was several times that of the 28 countries of the Western Regions combined, and if the Pa Huo Sect could gain a foothold in Huazhou with the help of Jiang Anyi's help, Si Ji believed that the Holy Fire of the Pa Huo Sect would be blazing in the Central Plains, even far larger than the original scale in the Moju Kingdom. With the help of the power of Zheng Guo in the Central Plains, the Pahuo Sect will reach unprecedented heights, feeding back the Holy Sect in the Western Regions, and the Holy Sect will definitely be able to flourish in the world at that time, and he will be a veritable Zhongxing Sect Master, for Jiang Anyi's promise, Si Ji feels that it is completely worth the gamble.
Jiang Anyi returned to his residence, and Suo Tu had already bought a map of the Western Regions as he instructed and hung it in his study. Jiang Anyi and the others all dyed their beards and made up as people from the Western Regions, and Heji told them that the eldest young master had come to do business, and the servants at home did not notice anything abnormal.
Jiang Anyi This is the third time Jiang Anyi has come to the Western Regions, and the 28 countries in the Western Regions have only passed by a few countries such as Qianglan, Shasu, Yuche, and Xiuli. Compared with the distance of this trip through Weiche and Shasu, Jiang Anyi felt that this map was very finely made, and he had to buy a few more maps to go back on the return trip. Zheng Guo also has a map of the Western Regions, but it is very rough, the national borders are blurred, and the county towns of various countries are rarely marked.
Jiang Anyi came to the Western Regions this time to take a closer look, and found that he had thought about the Western Expedition too easily, and from the map, the area of the 28 countries in the Western Regions was twice that of Huazhou, with a population of more than 20 million, and the total number of soldiers and horses of various countries was nearly 2 million. With the advantage of ordnance alone, even if the 160,000 soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate were dispatched, they would not be able to pacify the Western Regions, let alone occupy the garrison.
Yang Siqi's words repeatedly appeared in his mind, if he wanted to put an end to the Western Trouble, it seemed that he could only use razing to raze, and the Great Qi Kingdom could indeed be used as a chess piece. If you want to play the big game of chess in the Western Regions, of course you can't rely on a chess piece of the Great Qi Country alone, Jiang Anyi's eyes patrolled on the map.
If you want to go west, the first thing to solve is the country of Weiche, and the country of Great Qi is very willing to seize the territory of the country of Weiche; To prevent Rong Mi from helping each other, Zheng Guo and Rong Mi are mortal enemies, most of the invasions in recent decades are mainly Rong Mi, but Rong Mi was defeated this time and his vitality was greatly damaged, so he can befriend Tian Weiguo to contain it, and let Long Wei cooperate with Brother Guo to help Gu Taige become the lord of Tian Weiguo after going back, and Teng Gongli, if it is used well, it is also a good move.
Supporting the pro-Zheng forces in the Western Regions was Jiang Anyi's policy after consultation with Mr. Zhang, and this nail naturally chose Shasu Kingdom. Jiang Anyi came to Shasu Country on this trip, in addition to wanting to see Longgai, he also had the intention of forming an alliance with Shasu Kingdom, but the chaos of Shasu Kingdom made him unexpected, Tulezan held great power and wanted to usurp the throne, and if he wanted to form an alliance with Shasu Kingdom, he had to help Longgai become the lord of the country first.
Jiang Anyi's brows were furrowed, and he learned from Siji's introduction that Luo Na didn't want to let Longai take charge too soon out of her own considerations, and the longer the time dragged on, the more firmly Tu Lezan's control over Shasu Kingdom would be. As Huazhou Jingluo Jiang Anyi could not stay in Shasu Country for a long time, and he would have to return to Zheng Country after the New Year's Day no matter what, what could he do in less than twenty days.
"Jiang Anyi can't stay in Xinyi City for a long time, at most he can stay until New Year's Day." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tu Lezan said to Rehe: "It's only eighteen days before the New Year's Day, you work hard, send someone to keep an eye on Xiang Yuxing, the temple, the South Palace and all the main roads in the city, and don't forget to send someone to keep an eye on the city gate, let people send Jiang Anyi's portrait down, and tell me in time if you find it." β
Tulezan left the palace and returned to the palace, the first thing was to summon Rehe, Luang Luo led the troops outside, the large camp outside the city was empty, most of the forces of Xinyi City were concentrated in the hands of the City Defense Division, the City Defense Division was his eyes and ears, and the City Defense Division could report to him if there was a wind and grass.
Rhona's attitude makes Tulezan feel in crisis, and Tulezan decides to keep power firmly in his own hands. Rehe looked at Tu Lezan's face, as the head of the city defense department, he knew that Her Majesty had summoned the three Tule brothers into the palace in the afternoon, and when the prime minister came back, he summoned him and ordered to step up defense, obviously what happened in the palace.
Rehe cautiously asked, "Daxiang, is there something?" β
Tu Lezan glanced at Rehe, this person is his own cronies, and he depends on his cooperation to act, and there are some things that cannot be hidden from him, and he carefully mentioned the fact that the queen was wary of him, and deliberately let Taza and Kanlu share power.
The heat closed focal voice said: "Great phase, at this time, you can only advance and not retreat." If he can save his life even if he retreats, he may only be able to be a rich man, how can he allow the prime minister to stand in the royal court after the prince is in power. β
Tulezan's gloomy face was silent, and Rehe stood up and said: "Prime minister, Your Excellency understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty is always ready." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the countries of the Western Regions were deeply influenced by the Central Plains, and the sound of firecrackers resounded in Xinyi City.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside the house, Jiang Anyi sighed: "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, I miss my relatives every festival." Tianhao, Ansi, you have followed me for the New Year in Shasu Kingdom, and you have come to do this cup, which is my sin. β
Shasu Kingdom Ge Sha Lecheng, Shuai Mansion, General Lang Luo looked at the gifts stacked on the table in a daze. He has been stationed in Geshale City for half a month, and several attacks by Yuche Kingdom have been repelled by him, and the envoys sent by the royal court have gone to Boshi City, and Lang Luo believes that as long as he gives a step, Yuche Kingdom will retreat.
Every Chinese New Year's Eve, the royal court would hold banquets and reward officials, and as a great general leading troops, Luang Luo was naturally a guest. This year, the country of Weiche invaded, and Langluo led the troops outside, but the reward of the royal court was sent to it, but this reward was a bit much.
In previous years, Her Majesty had given her the Queen's rewards, and this year the Queen also sent one, and in addition to the Queen, there were unexpectedly two more. One from the Great Prime Minister Tule Zan, looking at the items on the gift list is more generous than the queen's reward, the gold coins alone are thousands, and the land is 8,000 acres, this generous gift makes Lang Luo feel hot.
There is also a prince Longgai sent, the gift is very simple, is a steel knife produced in the country of Huang Lin, the blade is covered with patterns, like flowing water, wonderful abnormal, this pattern is naturally formed in the casting, as long as it is kept properly for hundreds of years as bright as new, Lang Luo likes it very much, and immediately wears it on his waist after trying.
Three gifts and three thoughts, Luang Luo is clear, he was born in the Tule family, received the credit of the old man Tulebu, has a deep relationship with Queen Lorna, and even has a hidden emotion in his heart for Lorna. Luo Na knew it, so he was promoted to be a general with troops, and trusted him, and it was because Lang Luo had a heavy army that Luo Na was relieved to enjoy himself in the harem.
For Lorna's indulgence, Lang Luo was pained but helpless, so he could only put this love on the prince and try his best to teach Longai martial arts. Compared with Luo Na, Lang Luo's feelings for the three Tule brothers are much weaker, and he is not even Jiang Anyi, who fought side by side, he admires Jiang Anyi Lang Luo very much, and Lang Luo felt lucky in the fiasco of the previous coalition army, fortunately it was not Jiang Anyi who led the troops, otherwise there would be more dead and wounded.
Thinking that it was likely that he would meet Jiang Anyi's sword soldiers in the future, Lang Luo's heart felt a chill, in order to prevent this situation from happening, the only way was to make Long Gai the lord of the country. Long Gai has become the lord of Shasu Country, Jiang Anyi can't beat his son, maybe Jiang Anyi will find a way to find some benefits for his son. Touching the saber at his waist, Luang Luo felt that he should advise the queen to let the prince take charge as soon as possible.
