Chapter 261: Destroying the Country
Compared with the Zoroastrians, who set off civil strife in the city and directly rebelled against the main defenders in the city, the Western Expeditionary Army outside the Song Army and the Feixiong Army of the Marquis of Qin played very little role.
The fall of this historic city into the hands of the Ilkhanate heralded the demise of the Ilkhanate, even though Alban was still there, but his Ilkhanate as a state no longer existed.
"You're really going out of your way to that little lover, huh? This can make her a contribution. ”
Mengzhou, Anwang Palace, the queen who received the summons from the front line in Tabriz, suppressed the shock in her heart about the achievements of the front, and the queen easily found the bright spot she could not ignore from the report.
Li Zhe was embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the queen would pay attention to this.
The conquest of Xihu and the fall of a century-old enemy into rule in one fell swoop, shouldn't the queen's focus be on these places?
However, speaking of which, he didn't expect that the process of destroying Xihu would be so smooth, and this, Hestia's Zoroastrian forces were too bright in this regard.
Well, now Li Zhe has finally learned to look at things from the perspective of a ruler.
There is always a lot of fear against such a force that is obviously beyond the control of Zoroastrianism.
It seems that it is time to find a way to limit it.
Well, maybe it would be right to accept them, allow them to preach, and let their hidden power come to the surface, in which case it would be right to bring them under the control of the government.
As for the queen's ridicule, Li Zhecai will not put it on him, and after years of getting along, the couple knows each other very well, knowing that she will not take Hestia's threat to heart. Not to mention, compared to the queen, Hestia has too many weaknesses, comes from a cult, likes to show up, such a character is destined to be impossible to be a threat to her.
Li Zhe may really want Tia to make a contribution in it, so that it will be easier for him Li Zhe to find a place in the palace for Tia.
This little bit of caution is insightful in the eyes of the queen. At this time, it made Li Zhe a little embarrassed. has simply been a superior for such a long time, and Li Zhe's cheeks have been tempered to a certain level.
As for what's next?
"Why, do you still want to support her as the queen of Persia?"
The queen pretended to look at Li Zhe with disdain, but wanted to see what Li Zhe wanted to do.
"No, it can't be!"
Queen of Persia, don't be funny!
Li Zhe was shocked, the Mongols spent hundreds of years to finally erase the traces of this traditional ancient country in Central Asia, and he would like to restore Persia when he is full.
Not only Persia, but all the countries in Central Asia he does not intend to restore, the past only represents the past, Tianzhu is not a Mongolian Hu people, they have a way to bring these Central Asian peoples who have been eliminated by the Mongols to rule, and finally all of them are assimilated into the people, and in the end there can only be one kind of people in this land, that is, the Han people.
As for running away from Xihu and supporting the locals?
How could that be, that would only end up leaving a legacy for future generations, and he was not so short-sighted.
What a good time it was for the conquerors, whether it was in Asia, or Yanzhou, or the New World, countless countries disappeared, countless indigenous peoples disappeared into history, and even some ethnic groups can only be found in museums in later generations. The victor is not condemned, so why should he stick to the moral bottom line of some bullshit.
This era is the real era of the jungle, and everything that disappears in this era is really gone, and it will never be possible to find it back.
So in this case, since he wanted to conquer, he certainly wanted to carry out the conquest to the end, and if necessary, it would not be a pity to learn what the European colonists did in the New World.
It is only in this era that this can be done, and after this era, once the national consciousness of these conquered local peoples awakens, it will not be so easy to completely conquer them.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Zhe did not want to engage in any ethnic autonomy or anything, so that it would really be useless except to create hidden dangers of separatism and ethnic contradictions for future generations.
Of course, he has such confidence because there is a Chinese civilization that has a culture to conquer the tradition and stands behind him.
In this era, such martial arts, coupled with such cultural conquest, there is no one else except the glorious and brilliant Great Song civilization.
In this era, the remote sea frontier and lonely island, I don't know how many indigenous people are crying and shouting to defect to the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that there's no chance.
And the Westerners of this era are even more brutal and barbaric and unbelievable, they are far from the so-called Western-centric cultural conquest of later generations, so whether it is in the western Yanzhou or the New World, Westerners show pure bestiality, barbaric massacres, genocide countless. The natives of the New World were almost wiped out by them.
This is far from the colonial strategy of the Great Song Dynasty in this era, which combined rigidity and softness, military conquest and spiritual and cultural advancement.
It can be said that if the cultural conquest of the later generations of the rice country is 80, then the Great Song civilization of this era is absolutely above 99, infinitely close to 100, and you will never feel the almost ubiquitous influence of the Great Song civilization in this era on the surrounding area.
Therefore, since he has this kind of confidence, Li Zhe naturally wants to completely subdue these foreign nations in Central Asia without bloodshed.
It can be said that with the tempering of the era of great navigation and expansion hundreds of years ago, the current Song people already have a very effective set of means in this regard to annex land, organize households and people, and finally take all foreign nationalities into their own use and fully integrate them into the government system.
At the beginning, the Tianzhu An Domain's domain was less than a million people, and it was easy to establish a foothold in the Tianzhu Continent, which was originally someone else's land, and finally succeeded in annexing the other party.
Of course, this may also be related to the peculiar national character and beliefs of the local aborigines of Tianzhu, but the strong cultural conquest of the local Great Song civilization is also a great contribution.
Such a country still has to resort to means when conquering a country? No, you don't need it at all, just peel the other party and swallow the cramps completely.
This is the most suitable for the local Central Asian peoples.
You must know that in history, any native civilization in these lands was eventually conquered by the Celestial Civilization, and even the slightest remnant of the history of the native civilization that was assimilated could not be seen, which shows how poor the immunity of these peoples is in the face of cultural conquest.
In the history of the world, the fragility of nomadic civilization is such a thing.
The Persians are perhaps the only people among them who can show their historical and cultural heritage.
And without Tianfang, but replaced with the Great Song Civilization that is far stronger and more inclusive than the Heavenly Civilization, will they still have a chance to resist?
At least in the eyes of Li Zhe, who is familiar with the history of later generations, this era is really a good choice for them to be conquered. Otherwise, when history really turns to the modern industrial age, the so-called nomads and primitive tribes are not much different, and they will be even more miserable at that time.
