Hou Jie didn't know whether his head was kicked by a donkey or squeezed by the door, and he suddenly rushed into the street, but under a burst of passionate speeches, it was like a hornet's nest, and Ctesiphon, who was already in turmoil because of the murder of the caliph and the power conflict between the heirs, was even more chaotic. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

As the most important grain-taxing province in the heart of the empire, the governors appointed by the governors of the Umayyad family during the third caliph Uthmans were members of the Umayyad family and similar Meccan nobles, and during the tenure of the fourth caliph Ali, he removed all these Umayyad governors in a short time, but unfortunately, Ali's reign was too short, and the "true pure caliph" made too many enemies.

First, a fierce war broke out between the battle of camels near Mecca and the little wife of the Prophet Muhammad Aishah on the position of caliphate, and then the Syrian governor Muawiyah raised the anti-flag under the banner of revenge for the Ottomans, Ali reigned for four or five years, almost all of them were in the middle of the crusade to the east and west, and he really did not have the energy to come to the two rivers to urge the local governor to resign, until Ali was assassinated by the assassins sent by the split Hawariji, and the governor of Ctesiphon still did not move here, with Muawiyah ascending to the throne as the caliphate, these people changed, Became a governor again.

But this also tears apart the divisions that Islam has buried since the beginning of its religious existence.

Muhammad's early missionary in Mecca, the first to convert to the religion, and the Meccans who followed Muhammad to Medina formed the Emigrants, while the Medinas, who converted to Medina while Muhammad was alive, became the Helpers.

In the early days, the most vicious enemies of the Islamic Ummah Commune in Medina were the Umayyad and the 12 Qurayads who are now in power, and the former nobles of the city of Mecca, the first step of the Prophet's rise to prominence can be said to have been the foundation laid with great difficulty in the fierce battles against them.

However, the Prophet Muhammad was the one who did great things, and after the development of Medina was dominant, the Prophet allowed the surrender and conversion of the old nobles of Mecca, so the Umayyad family also stood in the ranks of the Islamic army, and the power of the old aristocracy greatly strengthened Islam, and by tying these people into a rope, Islam broke out of the corner, eliminated the Arab puppet dynasty Haibar supported by Byzantium, attacked the Jews, and unified the Arabian Peninsula.

On the one hand, many tribes in the Arabian Peninsula announced the dissolution of their allegiance to Mecca on the basis of the death of the Prophet, and on the other hand, a new conflict broke out between the Caliph's successor, the Prophets, and the Helpers, who believed that only Ali, the son of the Prophet Muhammad, was qualified to hold the position of caliph, while the Helpers believed that the caliph should not be limited to Mecca, and that all Arabs who converted to Islam were eligible.

Confined to internal and external difficulties, the two factions reached a compromise with the Prophet Muhammad's father-in-law, Eboul. Berkel's tenure as the first caliph covered up the contradictions.

But at this time, under the years of conquest, the population of the territory of the Arab Empire has doubled several times, and the growth of land wealth has also made the empire more complicated, after the assassination of the three generations of caliph Uthman, the Emigrants supported Ali to ascend the throne, and the Auxiliary Scholars have been very dissatisfied, and now the Umayyad family, once the biggest enemy of Islam, is in power, Ali was assassinated, and the Emigrants were suppressed in a situation, which exacerbated this contradiction.

Ali's accession to the throne and assassination can be said to have opened the Pandora's box of Islam, and the bloody conflict between the Shiites developed into the Movers and the Sunnis developed into the Helpers faction has been a bloody conflict for more than a thousand years, even if it was an unsolvable problem in the time period before Li Jie's crossing.

The current conflict in the city of Ctesipho is a concrete manifestation of this contradiction, the bustling streets have become bloody battlefields, every day, Shia-backed civilian believers frantically attack the Umayyad city guards in the streets, and the Umayyad governor, supported by some Sunnis, is constantly sending troops to search for revenge, and the civil strife has continued for five or six days.

Li Que and his entourage, who were hiding in the city, were about to vomit blood in depression, this matter was completely provoked by Hou Jie's sudden madness, trapped in the city for so many days and unable to get out of the city, and also lost Hou Jie, the main general, not to mention the mercenaries in the team who were not very loyal, even Li Que and Wu Yuanqing felt confused about the future.

In fact, even in Central Asia, where the Tang people have not been, Fujian still has eyeliner, and there are many big businessmen who rely on the Silk Road for their livelihood, so Fujian has supported many Persian nobles to return to Mesopotamia as eyeliner and settle down in important cities.

His Royal Highness, Li Que is ashamed of the grace of the saint, the Lord will Hou Jie lost, trapped in Ctesiphon, and has not moved forward for many days, but my Lord is relieved, and the last will be broken to Byzantium, rescue the princess Anna, and serve the great cause of my Fujian country.

According to another investigation, Hou Jie, the Central Protector Army, has different beliefs and is extremely obsessed with Islam, so pay more attention to His Royal Highness.

The last sentence Li Que hesitated for a long time before filling it in, but a few strokes were full of feelings and national righteousness, and the paper tube was filled on the pigeon's foot ring, holding the pigeon, Li Que walked heavily to the corridor window of the two-story small building of the Persian wealthy businessman, and stretched out his hand to fly.

However, at the moment before the release, Li Que dragged the pigeon's leg to pull the carrier pigeon back that was about to take off, full of disbelief, staring at the garden downstairs with round eyes, and a few Arab beards wearing white cloaks swaying slowly over, that god-like pretending figure is not Hou Jie or which?

Did this guy defect or defect to the enemy, or what's wrong? There were a lot of question marks on the door of his head, Li Que still hesitated to hide the carrier pigeon, turned around and walked downstairs quickly.

With Li Que's orders, the owner of this house did not dare to slack off, and quickly arranged to meet Hou Jie, but in the dark, dozens of Persian guards were fully armored and ambushed under the porch, full of solemnity, Li Que led Wu Yuanqing, and the owner of the house, the Persian beard, greeted the door suspiciously.

Several Arab bearded men looked at the left and right cautiously, and Hou Jie, the kid, was smiling, as soon as he entered the door, before Li Que could ask in doubt, Hou Jie had already hugged him with a big hug.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time, but the style is still the same!"

Li Que's face under the mask suddenly turned red, and he actually stayed there, fortunately, after a while, next to Li Que's ear, Hou Jie whispered hurriedly: "Accompany me to act, just say yes, and I will explain later." ”

After a firm hug, Hou Jie turned around with a smile and stretched out his hand to several bearded Arab men behind him to introduce: "This is Elder Jafar, this is Elder Nizar, both of them are the purest and most knowledgeable imams in the sect, the Great Mullah. ”

Stiffened for a moment, Li Que still reluctantly forced a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth under the pulled up mouth armor, and pulled the confused Wu Yuanqing to bend down and salute: "Two elders, I've heard of the name for a long time." ”

Although I don't understand, Wu Yuanqing's acting skills in the mall are not bad, his smile is much more sincere than Li Que's, and he translated it in fluent Arabic.

Hearing the proficient Arabic praise, and then looking at Wu Yuanqing's "sincere" smile, the smiles of several Arabs also began to ripple, and they relaxed a lot, especially Elder Jafar, who spoke a lot of Arabic, looking at Hou Jie and nodding directly, Wu Yuanqing's smile froze here.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Li Que, who couldn't understand Arabic, was really anxious, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked in a low voice while tugging on Wu Yuanqing's sleeve. With a sad face, Wu Yuanqing also said in a low voice: "The old Arab man said that in order to support their great cause, the little monkey wants us to give them 100,000 dinars......"

Li Que almost didn't squirt out.

A large table of seasonal fruits was placed on the table, especially five large tobacco pouches, tobacco from Fujian was more popular with Arabs than wine, while praying the Quran, while five Arab bearded people smoked hookah.

On the other end, the three heads of the squad that agreed to come down under the pretext of preparing under the pretext almost didn't fight in the other room, and even Wu Yuanqing, who had always supported Hou Jie, couldn't help but have a gloomy face, and frustrated Hou Jie and shouted: "Little monkey, what are you going to do, quickly recruit us from the truth." ”

"That's right, 100,000 dinars, equivalent to more than 30,000 gold coins of Fujian, you promised to be happy, where can we find such a large sum of money? Besides, why do you give them so much money? Li Que also exclaimed depressedly.

Dinar, is Rome, Central Asian countries and other common circulation of gold coins, about a two grams, when the Arab envoys to Fujian, a mouth annual tribute of 400,000 gold coins, is already a very local tyrant behavior, for a long time, the British national circulation is only 50,000 gold coins, it can be seen that the value of this thing, 100,000 gold coins, to be in the Fujian Mansion Li Que is still sure to get it, who let her have a more local tyrant than the country's father-in-law, but here?

It is estimated that the rich coffers of the entire city of Cessiphon have been emptied, barely almost.

"This matter can't be explained clearly for a while, you can report to King Min truthfully, but now that I am the team commander, I must be in charge of this matter!" was very domineering, Hou Jie suppressed the matter, and without a good explanation, Li Que couldn't help but be even more depressed, spread his hands and hummed: "Even if you call the shots, it's not worth the money if you sell a few of us?" ”

"No, no, it's worth it!" The originally relaxed smile suddenly became obscene, Hou Jie stared directly at Wu Yuanqing's chubby face, and in an instant Wu Yuanqing's face became even more sad than just now, crying in confusion.

"Why should I pay for it?"

"The money to buy the princess, princess of the great country, I promise it's worth the price!".
