In the spring of the third year of Yongxing, the end of the long winter, the city of Shilcania, Shircania County, Shiva Province, Dayuan Empire. In ancient Greek, it means the land of wolves. It is also located on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, and its unique geographical environment gives it three very different climatic characteristics.

The banks of the rivers where the city of Hilcania is located have a semi-arid climate. Therefore, when the rain comes, it has become a green grassland.

In later generations, it was named Gorgon. It is the capital city of the Golestan province of Iran.

Originally, it was included in the county of Toos. Later, the administrative division of Dayuan was adjusted, and a separate county was set up here and included in Khiva Province.

When the east-west Alborz Mountains enter the territory of Hilcania, only a few branches remain at the eastern end. But it also blocked the abundant water vapor of the Caspian Sea and brought precipitation to the land.

There is something special about the city of Shilcania today.

That is, the city of Shilcania, which is rarely under martial law, suddenly became under martial law. The people who entered and left the city were also carefully examined.

Patian was a native of Persia who grew some fruits and vegetables in the countryside of Syrcania and sent them to the city to sell. The search was too strict today, and he was blocked outside the city.

"What's going on today? Is it grasping the fine work on the mountain again? Pa An was bored and asked the villagers in front of him.

"I just got on the line, too. Seeing that this inspection is so detailed, it must be a fine work on the mountain! This fine work on the mountain refers to the assassination organization established by the Assasins.

After the Great Yuan swept through Persia, the Assasin faction struggled with the Great Yuan. It was not until the last peace talks between the Great Yuan and the Assasin faction that tensions between the two sides eased.

However, Da Yuan also sealed a lot of passages down the mountain, and it was not so convenient for many Assasin disciples to come and go. And the procurement of materials is also very tight.

The city of Shilcania did not share the territory of the Assasins, so it was unlikely that the Assassins would rebel. But the county of Shircanja was not small, to the west to a military town called Amole. It is backed by the Alborz Mountains and borders the Assasin faction.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Assasinites from infiltrating the city of Shilcania, the defenders kept a strict check of the population entering and leaving.

But that was two years ago!

With the agreement of peace talks between the Great Yuan and the Assasins, there was very little martial law in the city of Shilcania.

"Hey! So there is another war? Pateran was a little worried. He was not a Hilkanian, but had fled from the Assassins. Once upon a time, there were many governors in various parts of Persia, and the conquests were continuous.

In order to live a peaceful life, he deliberately fled to Dayuan. Later, he was arranged to go to the city of Shilcania to farm and herd sheep, and his life was stable.

Think about it, four years since I first came to Shircania. He also has a special affection for the city of Hilkania. 、

When I first came here, the city of Shilcania didn't even have walls. There were also very few aborigines, and later Dayuan arranged for some people like him to settle here, and it slowly became what it is today.

Now there are also city walls, so you can flee to the castle for refuge in the event of an enemy attack. The population also increased, and the Persians, Khivats, and Kipchaks combined to make the city more and more popular.

Merchants who were basically invisible before have also appeared! Pass by the city of Hilkania, where you trade and do business. Everything seems so beautiful, giving people hope and satisfaction.

So Patan really doesn't want to see war!

Then death is inevitable.

While they were waiting, Amin from afar was also sitting in the car waiting to enter the city. Tuugdi sat beside him, quiet as if asleep.

This time they came to Shilcania with a mission.

However, after two years of recuperation, the national strength that was lost by the war before the Great Yuan has recovered. And because the territory has expanded several times, there has been several times more. At the same time, the control of some newly expanded territories has become more and more stable.

Chu River Province and Hezhong Province have become important grain producing areas of Dayuan. Sindh Province is the most important cotton planting area in Dayuan, providing a steady stream of raw materials for Dayuan's cotton spinning products. Tien Shan Province is supplemented by the population of Gansu Province, and it has lost the devastation that it had when the Crane Kingdom was destroyed three years ago.

Gansu Province has also achieved self-sufficiency in grain production. There is no need for Da Yuan to bother to buy it from Xia Guo. At the same time, most of the grain from Tianshan Province was also imported into Gansu Province to provide military rations for the army stationed there.

With the opening of the war between Xia and Jin, the strategic pressure on Gansu Province is no longer so heavy. In addition, the Mongols also attacked the Jin Kingdom and captured a large number of people. Thanks to the human trafficking policy agreed between the Great Yuan and the Mongols, these captured people were not slaughtered by the Mongols, but were mostly sold to the Great Yuan in the form of livestock.

Gansu Province, Tianshan Province, Chuhe Province and other places have achieved a relatively large increase in population. Especially in agriculture, most of the people who are sold are farmers who farm the land. They opened up tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land for Dayuan, and forcibly increased Dayuan's grain production.

So when it was thriving, the Dayuan male lion, who had been asleep for two years, finally showed his fangs.

This time, the target of the Great Yuan was neither the chaotic Central Plains and the Han soil, nor the long and bitter winter of Kievan Rus' and the Eastern European continent, nor the cold and oxygen-deficient Tubo, which was sparsely populated and armed and divided.

Rather, it was the heart of the Abbasid Empire - the Two Rivers Valley reciprocated.

Even now that the Abbasid Empire has fallen to the dust, the secular leadership of the caliphate has long been pulled down from the altar. But among the people, the caliphate still represents religious orthodoxy.

For Puritanism to become the only sect in the Muslim world, it must sweep the other sects, led by the caliphate, into the dustbind. From then on, there was only one voice in the world of Islam, and that was Puritanism.

But before that, Da Yuan also needs to deal with the eyesore Assasin.

The Assasins, entrenched in the mountains of the Alborz Mountains, were a destabilizing factor surrounded by the West Persian military district. Even though the Assasin faction had bowed their heads to Dayuan two years earlier, they still maintained full self-reliance within the territory.

This is unacceptable to Da Yuan, who pursues a high degree of centralization. The reason why he agreed to stop the war with the Assasin faction was only for the sake of domestic recuperation and the stability of the Persian land.

Now that all the factors of stability have been wiped out, it is time to remove the nail that the Assasin faction has planted in the interior of Dayuan.

Amin and Tuwugedi came at this time to settle the matter at the lowest cost.
