Chapter 235: The Undercurrent of Tus
Some rejoice, some are amazed, some are silent, and some are a little frightened. The appearance of everyone is completely clear.
Adez watched, silently remembering in his heart.
Because the matter was too important, the guests present were noisy for a long time before they fell silent. Adez didn't speak, but only observed the looks of the crowd and sat upright.
After the next person came in and finished adding tea to the guests present, an imam who was close to Adez cleared his throat and said slowly: "Earlier, there was a change in the military camp of the Liao army. Then the large array of iron horsemen left straight from the west gate. ”。
Although Li Chengji's apologetic army did not actually belong to the Liao army. However, Li Chengji's governor of Khorasan was proclaimed by Da Liao. So in the eyes of these people, Li Chengji's apologetics represents the Liao army.
Secretly, the people of the land of Nishapur are called by this.
At this time, although the imam was pointed, everyone looked awe-inspired, and it was obvious that they understood his thoughts.
But everyone has their own selfishness, so for a while, no one dared to answer.
Adez looked at it and had to answer: "Have you ever seen the number of cavalry?" ”。
The imam immediately understood and replied, "It is estimated that there are nearly three thousand horsemen. ”。 This is the report of the spies he planted around the barracks! Since the cathars were numerous, they had to buy food from merchants in the city on weekdays.
Some businessmen who make a living also seized this rare business opportunity and opened their shops around the barracks.
Like those who are in the leather and meat business, they are simply squeezed around the barracks.
It was also Li Qi in order to eliminate the psychological pressure of the soldiers after the war. Therefore, it is specially allowed to go out of the camp in shifts to 'shop'. After staying in this military camp for a long time, the soldiers naturally want to have some fun and relieve the pressure.
Therefore, those who are in the skin and meat business are in high demand.
However, in order to prevent the appearance of 'dirty diseases', Li Gao also asked the military doctors accompanying the army to strictly control those girls. Only after confirming that you are disease-free, you can get a token issued by the barracks. This allowed the operation of a leather and meat business around the barracks.
Otherwise, if one case is found, one case will be severely punished. And we also implement a paid reporting system! So that the soldiers and girls did not dare to mess around.
As a result, the area around the barracks has become a place where businessmen gather. Not only was the business of the city of Tus unaffected by the war, but it was surprisingly more prosperous than ever. Even though this prosperity was short-lived, seeing that there was money to be made, the merchants subconsciously acquiesced to the rule of the cathars.
As a result, after Adez sent an invitation, he refused it, or he didn't accept it.
Even those who have already arrived, and it is also individuals who have their own minds. Otherwise, when he learned that Guchang's reinforcements were coming, he would not be indifferent.
It was for this reason that Adetz's heart was even more annoyed.
When the instructed imam reported the departure of the cathars, there was an eerie silence on the field. Adez looked at it and had to stand up again, and said loudly: "As soon as the Liao army leaves, chaos will inevitably arise in the city. I don't know you, what is the way to deal with it? ”。
That's a bit explicit!
Because at present, the Liao army is leaving the city, and the people who can cause chaos to Tus the most are those present. And among them, the most influential is Adez.
Now that he asked, he seemed to be deliberately going against the Apologists.
But it's not absolute!
After all, the Sabah Muhammad family is the oldest family in the city of Tus. Able to survive several changes of dynasty and maintain prosperity, his clan obviously has its own way of survival. It's extremely unlikely that you'll be able to press your eggs in one basket and go against the cathars.
After all, they are a big family. Just do nothing. For a while, the family did not decay much. Moreover, when the cathars first arrived, they also needed to use their influential big family to maintain their rule.
In terms of Khorezm, because there are people in the family who are officials in the royal family of Khorezm, they can also ensure that the family is safe and sound. Therefore, this kind of risky practice is really not done by a big family.
Considering these possibilities, the guests present also had different looks. The look in Adetz's eyes was also carried with some kind of prying.
"Ahem...", the imam, who was close to Adez, noticed that he was giving him a look, so he took the lead in speaking up: "The Liao army is the defender of the Puritans!" They marched into Nishapur to trick us into turning our backs on the true God, so that we would lose His protection and throw ourselves into the arms of the devil. ”。
Some of the guests, who were already hostile to the cathars, immediately became angry. Some of those who don't know why are also afraid.
"Heretics! We must not be deceived by the pagans and turn our backs on the true God! Someone said loudly. Because of the Great Liao royal family, they do not believe in Islam. And Balasagon also allowed the religions to coexist. Therefore, people with a little vision know that Da Liao is a pagan.
And Li Chengji represents Da Liao, which makes them afraid.
However, this group of people are staunch Shiites. So in terms of faith, the position is very clear.
However, some businessmen who have been to Puhua still know that the cathars believe in the true God. And the doctrine, which is not much different from the Shiites. He couldn't help but say loudly: "The governor of Khorasan is also a citizen of the true God. But what they admired was Puritanism. But doctrinal commonalities have a lot in common. ”。
When Adez heard this, he immediately looked at the merchant who spoke up.
There are more than one person who has been to Puhua, and those who know about Puritanism are not only among merchants. For example, earlier on, the Department of Missions sent local religious elders from Puhua to Nishapur to exchange teachings. Although this was allowed by the former governor of Nishapur, Khamenilf, the land of Inishhapur was mostly Shia.
As a result, this doctrinal exchange was not successful. But the Department of Missions took advantage of the opportunity to preach Puritan doctrine in Nishapur. The most delusive and deceptive of them all is that Allah has spoken. It will enable the pious people to attain the living conditions of land cultivation, stocking, and housing during their lifetime.
As a result, many low-level people secretly accepted the teachings of Puritanism. In particular, those slaves who did not have personal freedom had great longings for this heavenly life.
It's just that because of the strength of Shiism, these common people and slaves who accepted the Puritan doctrine could only secretly believe. In order to avoid incurring the disgust and persecution of the master.
Now that the Apologists are in power, many of the Puritan commoners have dared to profess their faith. For a while, the Puritans of the city of Tus sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and appeared at the speed of an eye.
