Chapter 477: The Situation in Central Asia (Part II)
It's not that they don't want to stop hostility with each other, but that the Uighur Khanate and the Qarluq Khanate are old enemies.
When they were dogs under the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighur Khanate and the Qarluq Khanate did not deal with each other.
At first, they actually had a good relationship, but they couldn't let the Tang Dynasty know about their relationship.
Although they are steppe khanates, it doesn't mean that they don't know the tricks of holding each other back.
Wasn't the Uighur Khanate and the Qarluq Khanate mutually coercive forces of the Tang Dynasty?
So at first, they just wanted to act, but as the older generation passed away, that acting gradually turned into a direct conquest of each other.
The older generation is dead, and the impact they have on the younger generation is that their parents have been fighting each other.
Therefore, for the sake of their fathers, they also wanted to destroy each other, and it was with this idea that the Qarluq Khanate and the Uighur Khanate gradually moved towards the path of complete hostility.
If it's the group of young people who have just started hostilities, and you ask them why they want to fight, they probably can't say why.
But now if you ask a random low-level herdsman from the Qarluq Khanate and the Uighur Khanate, they are all hateful.
They fought each other for many years, and as the war expanded, each of their relatives died in the war to a greater or lesser extent.
If they want to stop the war, they can only solve the contradictions between them first, otherwise they will not be able to stop the war for the rest of their lives.
This is not the Khan's own business, but the business of all the herdsmen, and if the Khan forcibly stops the war, I am afraid that the herdsmen and soldiers will be the first to rebel.
The soldiers naturally have their own ideas, their ancestors have fought for this khanate for several generations, and now they want to say stop, if so, then they might as well change to a khan.
However, with the unbridled persecution of Buddhists by the Samanid kingdom, the Uighur Khanate saw an opportunity to warm up relations with the Qarluq Khanate.
In fact, most of the Qarluqs were Buddhists, but they did not forbid the herdsmen to believe in anything.
For these nomads, practicality is the last word, and if they are not practical, even if the World-Honored One stands in front of them, they will raise their butcher's knives.
True, the Uighur Khanate and the Qarluq Khanate began to unite, and they directly declared the Samanid kingdom an enemy of the Buddha.
Of course, the Qarluq Khanate was a bit strange, because their own belief was supposed to be immortal, so they let the Khotanese kingdom, which was attached to them, declare war on the Samanid kingdom.
Then let the Kingdom of Khotan ask for reinforcements from the Qarluq Khanate, and the Kingdom of Khotan naturally did so.
Not to mention the fact that the Qarluq Khanate is now powerful, it is purely about personal feelings, and the Kingdom of Khotan also hopes that the Samanid Kingdom will disappear.
They want the Iranian plateau to be restored to being a country full of Buddhas.
The most ridiculous thing is that the Afghans are now struggling to hold on to the last territory, Kunduz, because Kunduz is condescending, so they are not afraid of the Sunni offensive for the time being.
But the main reason is that none of the three Sunni countries in the Persian region want to fight Afghanistan.
Because the Samanid kingdom was located in the plains, most of their army was cavalry, and they were not familiar with mountain warfare.
So every time they fought with the two Sunni countries in the southeast and southwest, they were invincible, so to speak, the Samanid kingdom was a feudal kingdom like a nomadic state.
Whoever makes the Samanid kingdom almost all surrounded by nomadic countries, and each one is stronger than the other, the Samanid kingdom will be more or less affected.
And the other two Sunni Persian states are even simpler not to fight Kunduz, because Kunduz is not a good place to talk about.
Last time, the Kingdom of Safar suffered heavy losses, and they directly ignored this group of infidels who lived in poor mountains and rivers.
The fat Safar kingdom of India was already full of oil after only a few bites, so their strategy was to plunder and attack the dwarf blacks in India.
And the Kingdom of Tahir is because the territory is not related to those Buddhists in Kunduz, so even if they want to fight, I am afraid they will not be able to fight.
The kingdoms of Samanid and Safar will not give way to them, and who knows if they will suddenly attack their own territory.
They haven't trusted each other to that point, even if they marry each other, but they have to fight again.
The marriage is just to make the blood of their royal family pure, and it has no other meaning.
In fact, the last thing the kingdom of Tahir wanted to do was to marry a woman born into the Abbasids, even if it was to plunder one.
If you marry an Abbasid woman, then the kingdom of Tahir will have an excuse to attack the Abbasids.
But the hateful Arabs of the Abbasids would not marry with the Persians, especially the so-called noble Arabs.
So even though the Kingdom of Tahir threatened and intimidated the Arab Abbasid Caliphate several times, the Caliph still adhered to this principle.
The Abbasid caliph was not a fool, although he was in various places during his reign.
But if he really betrothed the daughter of his family to those great lords, I am afraid that this caliph of his will also be done.
……
The vassals of the Arab Abbasids were like Egypt, such as Jerusalem, such as Medina, where the family of Hashemite was located, and the kingdoms of Asia Minor and Persia.
The reason why they still recognize the Abbasid caliphate today is because they do not have the blood of the Prophet in their family, or they have no excuse to usurp the position of the caliph.
The one who had no power to usurp was Medina, where the Saint Hashemite was located, and they did not have much troops, let alone usurp the caliphate.
They were already very happy when no one else attacked them, so they huddled in Medina as they dutiful.
Egypt sent men to marry, and they refused, and Persia sent men to marry, and they likewise refused.
The Fatimids in Jerusalem are no different, their ambitions have already been hatched, and they are waiting for an opportunity to usurp the caliphate.
If they can't usurp it, then they will set themselves up as caliphs, and the Fatimid faith has long since changed to Shia.
They are dreaming of being crowned caliphate all the time.
The dream of being crowned caliph is very likely to come true, but it is impossible to command the world.
This was not in the interests of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire, which they did not allow them to do so.
Yes, the Fatimid family is owned by the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, but so what? Heresies are often more hateful than heretics.
