Chapter 555: Aggressiveness

That year Islam emerged, and Muhammad began his missionary journey in Mecca on the Arabian Peninsula, and from then on, Allah became the only true God that the vast majority of people in the region believed.

And those who don't believe are all killed, killed, and killed again.

At this time, except for Persia, this region was composed of a number of tribal city-states, so to speak, a tribe, a city-state is a political power.

Muhammad was initially ostracized and forced to flee from Mecca, but when he succeeded in mediating disputes among the tribes of the city of Yathrib and establishing a high prestige, he merged it into a new regime, and Muhammad changed from a missionary to a ruler.

After they attacked an armed caravan of the Quraisi nobles of Mecca and won more with less, the influence of Islam was greatly expanded and the faith of the people became stronger.

With the defeat of the siege of Medina by a 10,000-strong army of Mecca, the new regime's army grew stronger and more victorious, and soon became the most powerful political, religious, and military force on the peninsula.

It's a religious country, and religion reigns supreme in politics. Muhammad's missionary journey was a journey of blood and iron.

After his death, his successors inherited not only the clerical power, but also the military power

The way of preaching with a sword in one hand and a Qur'an in the other.

If you don't obey me, you will fight until you obey, if you don't believe me, you will kill until you believe, and if you die, you don't believe in Allah, you don't believe in Islam, then it's okay for you to die.

With such an iron-blooded conquest, the tribal peoples of the Arabian Peninsula established a unified Arab state with Islam as the core, and the conquests continued.

People who believe in God, especially those who believe in the only God, are easy to go crazy, and the people of the Arab Empire are so strong because they are crazy and not afraid of death, and in the first two years of Zhenguan and the ninth year, they launched an attack on the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire at the same time.

After the capture of Damascus, the other side was also successful, and just last year they occupied Persia and launched an encirclement campaign against the remnants of the Persian forces.

This is also the reason why the Arabs dare to challenge the Tang sailors at sea, successive victories, destroying countries one after another, and expanding every day, giving them a feeling that Allah is the boss, we are the second, and everyone else is a floating cloud.

Therefore, believing in Allah, they launched an active attack when they saw the huge fleet of the Great Tang Naval Division.

As for the total annihilation, it can only mean that their feelings are just an illusion.

Of course, not only Islam, but also Christianity and Buddhism, which could later develop into a world religion, have a strong aggression and exclusivity.

Unlike Taoism, which originated in China, it is based on the theory of Huang and Lao thought, and pursues immortality and immortality.

People who are dedicated to cultivating the Tao feel that they are outsiders, first-class people of immortals, they rarely pay attention to the world, and they don't have the heart to spread their beliefs at all, which will delay too much time and will affect their immortality.

Looking at Taoism, the development of Buddhism in China can be seen that most of the Taoist people are hiding and practicing in the deep mountains and old forests, and almost all of those famous hermits are Taoists.

As for Buddhism, wherever there are famous mountains and rivers, and prosperous places, there are monk temples. Taoism rarely develops believers, and they hide and cultivate themselves when they have nothing to do, while Buddhism promotes Buddhism everywhere and develops believers.

The myths and stories of the Romance of the Gods explain the nature of Buddhism very clearly, and the exposition of the Sect is in full swing, while the Western Religion, that is, Buddhism, pulls people everywhere from the two religions. Fuxian, Manjushri, Guanyin, Wei Daotian, Fear Liusun, Kunlu Buddha, Prince Gito, etc., were all Middle Earth Taoists, and later they were all converted to Buddhism. Among them, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun corresponds to Manjushri Bodhisattva, Cihangdao people correspond to Guanyin Bodhisattva, fear of leaving Sun Sun corresponds to detention Sun Buddha, and Fuxian Zhenren corresponds to Puxian Bodhisattva.

Of course, Buddhism is more aggressive than intense, but the other Christianity and Islam are very different.

Both Christianity and Islam declare that the soul of a believer who fights for the Lord and dies can enter heaven. This spiritual inspiration became an important reason for the rapid expansion of Islam and the spiritual foundation of the Christian crusade.

In the Middle Ages, Christianity waged a holy war against the Middle East, and the Christian Church called on the universal Christian people to mobilize to join the army, promising them to enter the kingdom of heaven after they died in battle.

The wars of expansion, both Christianity and Islam, have been waged in the name of God in order to practice the faith.

In order to establish the rule of the gods in the land of the unbelievers, ordinary believers can put their lives on the line.

According to Islamic teachings, jihad is the "war for Allah's cause", i.e., the apologetic "war" of Muslims, and is one of the most important religious obligations of all Muslims (Muslims).

The Qur'an says: "Do not think that those who have died in the cause of Allah are dead, but they are alive and enjoying provision with Allah... Whoever fights for Allah to the point of killing a man or an enemy to the point of bringing about a result will be rewarded with a great reward. The martyrs who died in battle were called "martyrs" and were given the greatest encouragement to live forever in paradise, which became the highest ideal of struggle for Muslims.

The Arab Empire, that is, the Great Food Country, is desperately expanding its sphere of influence, and the conflict between the sea and the Tang Dynasty is still good, after all, when navigation has not made great progress, it is impossible for any power from the sea to pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

But the threat from the land is different, the expansion of the Great Food has wiped out Persia, only the remnants of the forces remain, and further east from Persia are the Western Regions countries with the surname Zhaowu Jiu.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have always been regarded as the sphere of influence of the Central Plains Dynasty, even if there will be northern nomads such as the Xiongnu in the middle, such as the current Western Turks are more influential in the Western Regions, but once the Central Plains Dynasty becomes strong, the Western Regions will return to the arms of the Central Plains Dynasty again.

After the Tang Dynasty swept away most of the threats in the surrounding areas in recent years, it has begun to strengthen its control over the Western Regions, once the Great Cannibal expands to the Western Regions, then the Great Tang and the Great Cannibal will inevitably have a battle to fight.

At that time, it will not be a skirmish like the one at sea, and with the faith of the big cannibals who are willing to die for Allah, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Great Tang.

Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan's recital, Wu Yuanqing will know it later, but it is not good for him to say what he knows about why the big cannibal is so not afraid of death.

Because Islam has only been established for a long time, many things in the future cannot be said now, otherwise he should be regarded as a monster.

All he can do is let things happen, anyway, even if the cannibals expand and contact with Datang in the future, Datang will inevitably be the victor in the event of a war.
