Sometimes it is not the weather, the terrain, the troops, the numbers, the morale, or even the justice and aggressiveness of the war that dominates the battlefield, but luck.

This time, luck undoubtedly favored Li Jie, and last night's artillery bombardment hit the backbone of the main battle faction in the city. Yezdegil didn't die in the artillery fire, but Li Jie, who met him at the city gate, suddenly felt that this guy might as well be dead.

The left hand of the limbs was intact, and the shock wave of the explosion ignited the Greek fire on the city, don't forget that at that time, Chief Ye took off his pants and mocked the incompetence of the Fujian people with the pride of a man.

In this case, God also left him a left hand, leaving a thought, Li Jie really felt that creation made people, although even in the main hall, the short chief wrapped in bandages still stared at Li Jie with a gaze full of murderous intent and hatred, in this case, Li Jie still waved his hand and pardoned him.

Anyway, it was impossible for Yezdegil to even stand up and speak, so it was better to keep his miserable appearance as a warning to the other Arab nobles.

After all, Tessiphon was once the capital of the Persian Empire, the capital of Arabia, and the temporary capital of the Great Min.

Don't expect the residents of the city to be so enthusiastic about eating pot pulp, after the land policy of the Arab Empire was liberalized, groups of magnates from the desert came to Taixi to establish feudal granges, most of the original Persians were squeezed out of the city, and most of the people who were driven out of the city by the Min army were Arab residents, one by one looking at the armed to the teeth, the strict queue of Min infantry, the eyes were full of fear, and there was bitter hatred.

Circumambulating like this, it did not discourage the enthusiasm of Damin, starting from the main street, going straight to the Holy Fire Palace left by the Persian Empire, looking at the pavilions and pavilions of Persian architectural style on both sides of the road, many of the ministers who followed the holy car couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and some even cried directly.

In the last war, after occupying Ctesiphon, many ministers left their families behind, and then the big defeat, I don't know how many wives were separated, and their parents and grandchildren were gone.

Listening to the crying behind him, Li Jie, the monarch, also felt uncomfortable, and Sporatita rode over and asked Li Jie to stop it, but Li Jie vetoed.

The most famous thing is the Persian arch at the entrance of the Holy Fire Palace, even after two thousand years, Li Jie still exists in later generations, this era, it is even more simple and spectacular, when passing here, Li Jie suddenly unexpectedly rode out of the queue, and shot an arrow at the exquisite statue on the arch.

In the astonishment of all the ministers, King Min seemed to have an arrow from a god to hit the human-faced beast statue in the upper part of the arch, pointing to the human-faced beast statue in the throat, Li Jie turned around and roared angrily: "Coming here today, including Lonely, everyone feels sadness, this mistake is ours all, so we have to swallow today's bitterness with our own mouths." ”

But this pain, Lone vows never to experience it again! This great river and mountain, Lone must definitely keep it for his descendants, and there will never be a second chance to let it fall into the hands of foreign enemies! ”

A good leader can always bring incomparable hope to his subordinates in just a few words, listening to Li Jie roaring with a bow, unconsciously, the hundreds of ministers who accompanied the army also stopped grieving, and gradually their faces were embraced by a flame called Endeavour, and Di Huaiying, who was at the forefront, raised his fist and roared in accord.

"Long Damin, pass on the torch!"

After being stunned for a moment, the forbidden army that followed also raised their weapons and roared from the bottom of their hearts.

"Long Damin, pass on the torch!"

The strong atmosphere finally ignited the most reserved scholars, and they also raised their arms and shouted, and the hundreds of court officials who came with the army also shouted, and the sound was like a spreading flame, which quickly spread from the gate of the Persian Holy Fire Palace to the outside of the city, and in the roar of the Fujian army raising their fists, it seemed that the whole world was only left with the four words of passing on the torch.

Little Qi Yade, who took over the car, couldn't help but look at this scene in amazement, and now the passionate Fujian people gave him a strong sense of familiarity.

When the Prophet Muhammad was there, the Arabs were so uplifted that they were all in tune, but now they are torn apart, and there is no one to hold the unruly Bedouins of the desert together.

Unconsciously, little Ziyad and the scholars of the Arab Empire began to yearn for Da Min a little.

…………

In addition to being a historical city, Ctesiphon can also be regarded as a geographical symbol, occupying this place, which is equivalent to controlling the vast territory of the middle Tigris River basin, and also connecting the roads to the Caucasus and the Black Sea.

Occupying this place is equivalent to occupying most of Iraq and capturing millions of people, the last time Damin was to let the occupied cities be autonomous, when the Arabs attacked, they would be so isolated, this time, naturally can no longer be left alone.

Politically, the policy adopted by the Min army was very similar to that of the Arabs, trying to retain the government rule of the original occupied areas, recruiting locals as officials, and at the same time sending Min officials to manage these local bureaucrats, recording household registration in detail in each town, and beginning to distribute the abandoned and fleeing aristocratic land to landless and landless peasants.

The conquered Persia, which was the largest in number, was settled for a time.

And the next tax is just reversed.

In the past, Zoroastrian Persians paid the poll tax, but now the original Arab conquerors had to pay the same poll tax as a reward for the protection of the Min people, while the oppressed Persian peasants did not have to pay the tax.

Such a repetition can't help but arouse the jealousy of many Arabs, who are also West Asian peoples, why don't those Persian mud legs have to pay taxes? In the area occupied by the Great Min, the Bedouin and Persian communities, which were already estranged, had a strong smell of gunpowder.

As everyone knows, this is really what Li Jie wants to see.

Religiously, Fujian has not made any repetitions, has not banned the belief in Islam, has not even preached Confucianism on a large scale, and has not yet established Christianity and Zoroastrianism from the beginning.

On the fifth day of his stationing in Ctesiphon, Li Jie ordered the recruitment of Islamic scholars famous in Mesopotamia to Ctesiphon to translate the Qur'an and the Hadith into Tang language.

As everyone knows, this is another good move set by Li Jie.

How vast and vast is the Chinese language, there are more than 2,000 commonly used words, and the meaning of the language is extremely rich, a convenient can have several meanings on different occasions, as for the newly rising Arabic, it is too poor in comparison, just from the beginning of the Bedouin army to defeat Ctesiphon, the Arabs do not understand the value of gold and silver, and there is no concept of more than a thousand numbers can be seen one or two.

If you want to translate the Quran and the Hadith into Chinese in a reasonable way, you can't be proficient in Chinese culture, and the vastness and vastness of Chinese culture are estimated to be enough for these brainless scholars from the desert to study for a lifetime, two lifetimes, or even several lifetimes.

Not far from the gate of the Persian Sun Palace in Ctesiphon, several Arab nobles' mansions were recruited by the Great Min, as a place for translating the Quran, and every year they are also ready to allocate food, gold and silver, to support these scholars, every time he walks outside the palace gate, looking at the opposite group of Arab scholars who are holding a thousand words and painstakingly reading the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, the universe is desolate, Li Jie always has a strange smile of victory.

However, Li Jie's policy was not so satisfactory, and if Damin wanted to start ruling the vast Mesopotamia, it needed officials everywhere, even if it was to recruit locals as officials, the lack of local officials was still a big gap.

These people, Li Jie was recruited from the members of the family who were sent to the frontier exile such as Qom City due to political disputes a while ago.

The Tang Dynasty is not without a precedent for requisitioning and returning people who have been exiled for crimes to come back to be officials, such as Cheng was deprived of his official position after the defeat of the Golden Onion Mountain Road, and was activated soon after, and with the fierce political struggle, this situation is increasing, and there are often the phenomenon that today he is still a prisoner of sinners, and tomorrow he will be the prime minister of the court.

But the last time was the political purge launched by the King of Min, the exiles were more or less resistant to the King of Min, and with the escalation of the political struggle, many incumbent officials formed political enemies with these exiles, and once these people returned to the court through promotion in the future, it is likely to shake the position of these court officials now.

This incident caused panic in people's hearts.

Fortunately, these are still long-term considerations, and they have not affected the great power policy of the imperial court to conquer Arabia, and the court has been disturbed, and the army of Fujian is still marching on the Mesopotamian plain, bringing more and more land into the jurisdiction of the Great Min.

Just like the Roman Empire back then.

In the city of Kufa, looking at the changing situation, Ziyad, who proclaimed himself the Sultan of Kufa, was half white-headed, and at the same time, another uninvited guest also arrived at the border of Mesopotamia, looking east like a lone wolf......
