Chapter Eighty-Nine: Ragnarok

Wang Fangyi has done a very good job in the Western Regions, not only can he fight, but also pacify the clans is no less than Pei Xingjian. But after all, he was born in the most orthodox family of the Central Plains, and it is difficult to understand the degree of religious fanaticism in the Western world.

The more Li Wei talked, the happier he became, and when he mentioned this incident, he remembered the poor Western history of his previous life. For example, the Crusades, Abdullah and Hussein, and Shiites and Sunnis, have influenced later generations, and for more than a thousand years, these two sects are still at loggerheads, and there are many leaders in West Asia who have the names of Abdullah and Hussein, which has a far-reaching impact.

So he said: "Wang Duhu, Westerners are fanatical about religion, it's hard for you to imagine. Sometimes the clergy can subvert the royal power, and you can look at the information brought by the scouts. Why did the Great Cannibals take Syria so easily in the first place? It is not only that Persia and Great Qin have lost in a long-term war, but also that the Western religion does not recognize the one-nature theory of Syria, which leads to the oppression of the Syrian people by the Holy See. Looking at the expansion of Great Food to Iraq, the Iraqi people believe in *** religion, and the Persian faith is Zoroastrianism. Therefore, the Iraqis have always been very dissatisfied with the Persian royal family, and many of them are Semitic people, and they are very close to the Great Eclipse in blood, so the Great Eclipse easily took Iraq, and the capital city of Sulin (Ctesiphon), and obtained a wealth of 9 billion dinars in the city of Sulin. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wei's eyes were very envious.

Nine billion, although the dinar is not as expensive as Dilemu, it can be converted, one dinar is equivalent to thirty or forty yuan (Lao Wu privately according to the taxes and customs duties of the Great Eclipse, and some other researches, such as the expansion of the Great Eclipse plundered a lot of wealth, gave the soldiers rich rewards, and the minimum annual annuity of four or five hundred dinars, estimated).

Nine billion dinars also include some fixations, which are not good to take away all of them, but at least a third of them can be taken away. If it falls into the hands of the Tang Army, with a wealth of 100 million, I believe that the whole country will agree to start a war, right?

Quickly subtract this thought.

It is still necessary to win this war, and once it can advance to the whole of Khorasan and Sestan, even if you are benevolent, you will gain a lot.

continued: "Why is the advance so slow in several countries in North Africa? There is also Khorasan and Sestan. Did the Persian prince Belus and Nishi break the banner of rebellion when they did nothing? Could it be that they miss the Persian royal family? No, the Persian royal family of later generations also acted very cruelly and did not show kindness to the people. That's the Great Cannibal Brutality? Neither is it. When the Great Eclipse entered Syria, each person was taxed only one dinar and one generation of wheat. Later, the expansion was rapid, and the various governors kept changing the tax rates. In some areas, tithes (1 out of 10) were added, while in others a poll tax was added, with a tax rate of 4 dinars, 2 dinars and 1 dinar according to rich and poor. Seeing such a chaotic situation, several generations of caliphs made adjustments, and with the result that each adjustment, the tax was increased once. ”

Speaking of which, he himself was confused.

The scouts kept feeding back the news, and the news he got made him feel a little surprised, because the pace of expansion was too fast, and many people in the big food country thought that it was necessary to be stable. However, the spread spreads, and the governors had a lot of power in their hands and could not control it. Fearing that a local revolt would destroy the entire empire, the caliphs carried out a unified reform of the tax rate in an attempt to reduce the burden on the people in the occupied areas. But none of them worked out.

This reminded him of Ximen Chong's suggestion. I thought of Wang Anshi's change again, Wang Anshi's intentions must be good, but what did it turn into in the end?

After a pause, he continued: "Although the tax has been raised, Wang Duhu, has it reached the point where the people are not able to make a living?" No, on the contrary, Persia used to be at war with Great Qin, and the taxes were even higher than the current Great Cannibals. Even the big cannibals exempt vulnerable groups such as the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and beggars. Why do people in the same occupied areas have two completely different attitudes? It is religion. The Great Cannibals forcibly promoted Islam, and the two regions were Zoroastrian. ”

Wang Fangyi has also seen this information, but it can be mixed with a huge amount of information, and he does not understand Western religion and is negligent. After being reminded by Li Wei, they recalled one by one. After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, you let Zhang Ren go to Daqin and encourage them to start a holy war." ”

"Good things, can you only use them once?"

"If it is in this name, how can it be explained to the Persians?"

"For the Persians to restore the country, let the Ni Nishi explain, our explanation is jihad. Overthrow all caliphs of non-Muhammad blood in the Great Eclipse and support the Shiites. ”

Wang Fangyi couldn't laugh or cry.

The Holy War launched by Great Qin can still explain the past, but the Holy War launched by our Tang Dynasty is not a bandit theory.

This is the robber theory.

For example, the *** of the later generations, *** is not good, but those countries *** have no problems? I didn't expect that I would turn it upside down and be able to slap other people's faces with this theory, and I was very proud in my heart.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Wang Fangyi thought carefully about the gains and losses, no matter what excuse His Majesty used to fight, it would not affect the support of the people of Khorasan and Sestan. Besides, whether it is to support the restoration of Persia or to war, it is not His Majesty's original meaning. It was only to set up a line of defense south of the Wuhu River to weaken the invasion of the powerful Great Food of the West into the river.

But will it provoke a strong local resistance from Dashi? Thinking of this, he said: "If Your Majesty wants to do it, the minister will not object. But we have to wait for Zhang Renyuan to come back. ”

It is to want Byzantium as the main force of the attack, as long as Byzantium attacks, the Great Eclipse will not be able to divide the main force to support Khorasan and Sestan. Then no matter what banner His Majesty makes, it doesn't matter. That's a safe thing to do.

However, Li Wei did not consider this.

Once the holy war is proposed, the cannibals themselves are also very confused, just as Ashina Buzhen went to the north and caused the Turks to be confused. Either enslave the Persians as soldiers, and even less reliable. This unreasonable reason will have a great impact on the big food. It is impossible to predict what it can bring to the big food, but the benefits certainly outweigh the disadvantages. Wang Fangyi was kind to him, and said, "It's okay." ”

He continued to say excitedly: "You can also send people to Rome again to persuade the Pope of Rome to launch a large-scale holy war, mobilize the aid of various religious countries and people, and recapture the Holy Land of Jerusalem." As long as he has the courage to restore the glory of the Holy Land, I will make a book, assist them in our Tang Dynasty, and promote it among tens of millions of people in our Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, by all means."

"Wang Duhu, didn't I bury a hurdle? If you want to promote it in our Datang, you have to have a premise, take Jerusalem and occupy it, do you think it will be successful? The occupation of Jerusalem is equivalent to the occupation of the whole of Syria, and the great cannibalism is the destruction of the country, and it is impossible for the Pope of Rome to succeed. It's a pity that I heard that this pope is also very repulsive to monosexualism, otherwise once monophysia and Nestorianism are tolerated, not only several countries in Europe, but also possibly the whole of Syria and North Africa, will support him to recover his lost land in one fell swoop. It's going to be a battle of the gods. ”

"Clash of the Gods?" Wang Fangyi smiled bitterly.

"yes. I'm afraid that I won't be able to provoke it, and once I pick it up, several European countries, the big cannibals, and the Persians will all fall into it, and they can't help themselves. If all the countries and nations of Europe popularize the religion, it will not do much harm. But there are still many barbarians in the north who do not believe in *** religion. If the people are not able to survive, the barbarians will succeed. Then it is not the battle of the gods, but the twilight of the gods. ”

That's a big deal.

In Li Wei's memory, the people who hurt China the most were the nomads in the north, who brought down the civilization of the Central Plains again and again. Not only the invasion, but before the invasion, under the oppression of the north, the Central Plains had to collect heavy taxes to use as military funds to resist the southward movement of the northern barbarians. This, in turn, has hurt the common people and caused the intensification of domestic contradictions. The number one enemy in the Central Plains.

The second is the Japanese people, who do not need to be explained. The third is the Western powers, before they came, it seemed to be a peaceful era, but the situation was not optimistic, and the sword of Dalmos on the head hung on the top of the head and did not fall.

Religion has done a lot of oppressive things, but it is precisely because of this sect that the countries of Europe were loosely united, and the civilization was taught, which laid the foundation for the later revival of Europe. But the whip can't reach it, so he sneakily contacts the Avars and tries to use it to subvert. This is very unlikely.

If the Pope of Rome had been persuaded to launch a crusade-like feat, it would have been possible for European civilization to be dismembered as he wished.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing proudly and asked, "Wang Duhu, what do you think?" ”

Wang Fangyi is not as long-term as Li Wei thinks, and he can't change anyone, not Pei Xingjian.

But there is one point, to fight the big cannibal, the more allies the better, it is better to unite a few powerful countries to attack the big cannibal together, and the Tang Dynasty did not pay anything, just made some lip service, wrote empty checks, and replied: "The minister thinks it is okay." ”

……

An important decision was also made at this time in Mazar-i-Sharif.

Because of its geographical location, the Tang Dynasty army led by Qi Ming was mainly stationed here. When Nineshi returned from Broken Leaf City, he also brought his family members and guards loyal to Persia from the Tang Dynasty, as well as the guards sent by the Tang Dynasty to protect his safety, and also brought them to settle down in the city.

But he was in a mood of shame and joy.

With the promise of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the restoration of the country is finally hopeful. However, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted him to go to the city of Jiling (Zabol) to personally lead the rebel army. I even felt that he was cowardly. At that time, he enthusiastically agreed, and when he returned to Jiling City, he hesitated again.

He also fought, when the Great Food invaded, Persia was in an emergency, and his father Belus brought troops from Sindh, but his grandfather was killed, so he had to be trapped in the city of Jiling and asked the Tang Dynasty for help. The Tang Dynasty sent envoys and the sons of the Persian royal family, Aro, to set up governorships and prefectures in Persia and other places. Then he made himself the king of Persia and escorted him to the city of Jiling to preside over the restoration of the country.

But when he came to Jiling City in front of him, Da Shi stared at himself again, thinking that Jiling City and Sestan were the *** center of the East, and sent the general Samra to attack Jiling City. The Tang Dynasty was trapped in Tibet and could not send troops to help, so it was repeatedly defeated and fled to the Tang Dynasty again.

In those years, he saw too many deaths, and his sharpness was lost in one failure after another.

When it came to the end, he was afraid.

At this time, his son Bo Shanhuo came up to him and asked, "Father, what are you worried about?" ”

Nirvana loved this son very much, and told what was on his mind.

Bo Shanhuo said: "Father, then let me go." ”

"You're still young."

"When the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the crown prince, he went on an expedition to the south and fought hard in Qinghai, and he was also young at that time. Father, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty came in person, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, whether we Persians can restore the country or not will have little impact on the Tang Dynasty, and if we do not make a decisive choice at this time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will take the initiative to abandon us when he sees hopelessness. ”

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go to Jiling City, and the Caojuzha Kingdom (Caoli Kingdom) has fallen into the hands of the Great Cannibals, and the three cities on the main roads leading to Jiling City, Hesina City (Gazeni), Hesaro City (Gusharistan, and Gablo City (Kabul) are all guarded by Great Eclipse soldiers. How do you get to the city? ”

"Father, I can't do it, but there is one person who can, and I will go to him."

Saying that Bo Shanhuo came to Qi Ming's military camp, and as soon as he said what he meant, Qi Ming looked at the young man in surprise, and said after a while: "Okay, enough seeds." ”

is a very positive evaluation, in exchange for Li Wei here, it is possible to say that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. It was very unexpected to Qi Ming, and he also knew the emperor's various arrangements, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty army to fight for a long time, and after a few battles, the Tang Dynasty army would inevitably withdraw. Persia is missing a leader, and the Nirvana division cannot afford to take the lead.

Li Wei doesn't know this history either, it's too unpopular. After the famous general Qu Dibo launched a fierce invasion of the river and Tocharo, the Ni Nishi weakened his legs and fled back to Chang'an. But it was this young man who took the initiative to stay, infiltrated the city of Jiling, and survived tenaciously under the attack of the powerful Qudibo. If it weren't for the instigation of the big cannibals, the Tang Dynasty and Sulu would have turned against each other, and maybe this young man would have succeeded in recovering the country. Therefore, some histories place the title of the last emperor of Sassanid Persia on him, called Kusa and III.

"General Li, would you like to help me?"

"Yes, but let me think about it." The little prince of Persia personally went to the city of Jiling, and the encouragement effect on the rebels was unimaginable. But the original battle plan didn't think of this at all, thinking of this, Qi Ming said: "In this way, you personally ride a fast horse to Broken Leaf City, negotiate with Your Majesty, and he will give you a satisfactory recovery." ”

"Whoa." Bo Shanhuo retreated happily, and immediately took a few guards to turn over and get on their horses, stepping on the snow on the ground, and running towards Broken Leaf City.
