Chapter 364: Is there still a chance to return to Datang?
Hearing that she couldn't go back, the smile on the face of the girl who was helplessly abandoned by the Tang Dynasty gradually disappeared.
When the Persian girl saw the black-haired and black-eyed girl in front of her with a lost face, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat the girl's face.
The Persian girl raised her hand to the remnants of China not far away and said, "Are you with those people?" Although you can't go back, I believe that we will be able to live well in the future! ”
The girl of the remnants of China looked at the Persian girl with an expectant look, and she couldn't help muttering, "Better life? In this situation, how can we be better off in the future?"
“??”
Seeing the Persian woman looking at her suspiciously, the Chinese relict girl immediately shook her head and stopped thinking about these things, she squeezed out a smile and said in Persian Persian woman: "Sister, you haven't answered my question yet, what kind of place is this now?" ”
The Persian woman also knew that this Chinese relict girl from the Western Regions did not know what place this was, and she said to the Chinese relict girl:
"The place where we are now is called the Khazar Khanate, and the Khazar Khanate is a long way from your Tang Dynasty.
There are still many countries in between, and now you want to go back to the Tang Dynasty, I think it should be impossible! ”
"That's it!" The Chinese relict girl's eyes, which were originally shining, became unfocused, but she still asked the Persian woman with a puzzled look:
"So, sister, what do you mean by saying that the future will be a good life! I don't think you're having a good day now! ”
The Persian woman smiled and said to the Chinese remnant girl, "Our families are in difficulty, but we have heard that the Khazar Khanate can help us find a place where we will not go hungry.
Because of this, we sold ourselves to the Khazar Khanate and got some money and food from the Khazar Khanate to give to our family.
It won't be long before we can go to the place where we won't go hungry, and I've heard that as long as you are willing to work, you won't go hungry, so I'm really looking forward to it! ”
The Persian girl looked expectant, and the other women also had anticipation on their faces, and the Chinese remnant woman was embarrassed to say something when she saw this scene.
The Chinese remnant woman waved her hand to the Persian woman and returned to her own Chinese remnants.
When the girl returned to her childhood, her father asked in a low voice, "How is it, did they say anything?" ”
The girl also whispered to her father: "They say that this is a place called the Khazar Khanate, which is far away from the Tang Dynasty. ”
When the girl's father heard about the Khazar Khanate, he thought about it, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, he looked at the girl and said, "What? The Khazar Khanate, I seem to have heard of this country, they seem to be a different species of Turks! ”
The girl looked at her father suspiciously, and asked in disbelief, "Father, are you saying that the Khazar Khanate is a state founded by the Turks?" However, hasn't the Turks been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty?"
The girl's father stroked his beard, frowned and said to the girl: "The Turks that were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty are called the Eastern Turks, and there is a Western Turk that has not been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.
The Western Turks migrated to the west, and if I remember correctly, the Khazar Khanate was another species of the Western Turks.
Now on our way here, it seems that we have never heard of the Western Turk khanate, and it seems that the Western Turks must have died.
And this Khazar Khanate is probably the northern route of the legendary Silk Road. ”
The girl muttered puzzled: "North Silk Road?"
The girl's father said to the girl: "That's right, this is the Silk Road when the Tang Dynasty was glorious!" ”
The girl's father had read the contents of the books before he talked about it.
The book that the girl's father had read before was the "Atlas of the Western Regions" written by Pei Ju in the seventh century AD.
In this book, the grand occasion on the "North Road" of the Silk Road is recorded.
The book reads: "Originating from Dunhuang, as for the West Sea, there are three paths, each with a belt. The northern road from Yiwu through the Pu Sea, Tiele Division, Turkic Khan's Court, Dubeiliu River, to the country of Fula, to the West Sea. ”
The Khazar Khanate was a very important transit point on the northern route from Dunhuang to Fula, also known as the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
As early as the sixth century AD, the historian of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Menand, mentioned the northern route of the Silk Road.
Legend has it that Zamarq, the envoy sent by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire to the Western Turkic Khanate's secret points, returned to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire via this route.
However, at that time, the northern route of the Silk Road had not yet become a frequently traded trade route between the countries.
It was not until the seventh and ninth centuries AD, that is, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty in the East, that the northern route of the Silk Road began to gradually become prosperous.
Today's Khazar Khanate is arguably the richest of the surrounding nomadic khanates, after all, the Khazar Khanate is allied with the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire.
They could easily obtain local specialties from the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empires, and then buy them from the East along the northern Silk Road.
In addition, they could also sell the specialties of the East to the Chinese Empire, as well as the people and citizens of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empires, and even the nobles and royal families.
For example, the silk in the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was made of silk from the Tang Dynasty in the Khazar Khanate.
What to say about the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, for the time being, they did not have the ability to produce silk, and the Chinese Empire mainly relied on cotton linen and other cloths.
However, in terms of profits, the profits of the Chinese Empire from the production of cloth are not as large as those of silk, and in general, the Chinese Empire makes relatively people-friendly fabrics.
It's a pity that this remnant of the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions didn't know what country they were about to go to.
Nor would they have imagined that there would be an empire calling itself Huaxia in this far west, and they were still worried about the future.
After listening to what her father said about the North Silk Road, she said to her father with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Father, if this is the North Road of the Silk Road now, will we still have a chance to go to the Tang Dynasty?"
The girl's father shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "My daughter, you have thought too much about this, we don't have any chance to go to the Tang Dynasty now."
Although this is the northern route of the Silk Road, the people who sell silk are not from the Tang Dynasty, and the second-hand merchants don't even know how many hands they sell again.
