Chapter 0658. No more expansion
In the palace of Tessifun, once the emperor of Persia and the Arab caliph convened a gathering of cronies in the small conference room, now the characteristic round conference table of the Fujian State is now placed, and the cabinet round table that has not been held for a long time has been held again, except for a few members who stayed in Tianzhu, and the members of Fengge Luantai who went out with the army were all present. [This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
The high efficiency of the administration of Fujian, the information from Arabia has been transcribed by the secretary Lang and distributed to all the ministers, from Wu Meiniang down, all the core of power is to look at the newspaper in hand and bow their heads and think silently.
After experiencing the battle of Kufa, that battle, even women, old people and children took up arms to resist the Tang army unyieldingly, the spirit of iron-blooded decisive battle made Li Jie rarely ordered the slaughter of the city, and buried all resistance, although the battle of Paris destroyed the main army of the Arabs, and the desert buried the last main force of the Arab Empire, but this will to resist is not optimistic about the rapid destruction of the Arab Empire, from the king of Min to the ministers.
On the other hand, in the war, the Min State itself also suffered heavy losses, and the various ministries and systems were incomplete, in order to carry out more difficult siege and desert warfare with the Arabs, the Fujian State re-deployed troops on a large scale in the country, waiting for the replenishment and completeness before making plans, which further showed the importance that the Fujian State attached to the Arabs.
But having considered the results of countless conquests, no one expected that the Arabs would sue for peace, and they were so anxious that they had just received information about the return of Caliph Mu'awiyya to Damascus, and the Arab envoys had already pleaded for entry at the border, and in three days they would arrive at Ctesiphon.
However, this strict battle plan has not yet been completed, and the Arabs on the other side are about to surrender, which makes the monarchs and ministers of Fujian have a feeling that you have fallen before I can exert my strength, which is quite aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Fingers clasped on the table, and the old fox Xu Jingzong first asked questioning: "Is this information reliable?" It can't be a trick by the Arabs to slow down the army, right? ”
"You can't be wrong." In this regard, Wu Meiniang, who was in charge of intelligence, nodded very definitely.
"If it is a strategy to delay the army, at least it must wait for our army to make a posture of pressure before it can be implemented, and now the army brought out from Fujian, the soldiers of Tianzhu Mansion in the north and south are almost all scattered in the cities of Mesopotamia, and the main force is still recuperating in Taixifeng, in the short term, our country will wait for Tianzhu reinforcements, and there is no need to ask for peace at this time."
"On the other hand!" Knocking on the table very confidently, Wu Meiniang stood up with her hands behind her back, and held her head high to hold up the special wide Fengge official robe.
"If it is a suspicious strategy, during this time Muawiya should seize all the time to gather troops to resist to the death, but now the remnants of the Arab tribes stationed in Syria have not been recruited, and the Bedouin tribes in the rear of the Hejaz region also continue to graze as they are, as soon as he returned to Damascus, Muawiya was busy gathering elders and nobles to discuss peace, and there was no trace of military mobilization, and what he did could not hide from the eyes of Fujian."
"Are the Arabs really scared us?" On the other hand, Wang Fangyi still pinched a few strands of beard on his chin and muttered in disbelief, no way, the fierceness and tenacity of the Arabs in the Battle of Kufa and the Battle of Paris left a too strong impression on him, and he was able to shoot arrows to Li Jie's side both times, the fierceness of these desert peoples can be seen, no wonder Wang Fangyi doesn't believe it.
At this time, Xu Jingzong, who was questioning just now, suddenly woke up and slapped the old man's head, and shouted out with a smile: "He is worthy of being a desert hero!" Dare to advance and dare to retreat, what a scheming! ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Not only the other ministers, but even Li Jie himself was curious. With a wicked smile and patting his thick greasy palm, Xu Jingzong also turned around with his hands behind his back.
"Although Mu'awiya is the king of his country, the ministers have heard of the custom of the Arabs, the king is not hereditary, but elected by the elders of many sects, especially Mu'awiyah is not orthodox, and many people in the other country advocate that the heirs of the former caliph Ali are orthodox, so if they lose the war, Mu'awiyah's status will be greatly threatened."
Xu Jingzong was reasonable, every sentence was the truth of the Arab Empire, but he still didn't tell where he understood, the flirtatious Li Jie raised his eyebrows, and Wang Fangyi knocked lightly on the table angrily, as if he also felt that he was too pretentious, Xu Jingzong hurriedly sat back with a smile, and slowly said a sentence under the attention of others listening attentively again.
"What if we canonize Mu'awiya as the king of Arabia!"
This sentence made everyone suddenly, especially the row of heads of Wang Xuance in the historical books: "Imitate the story of Han Xiedan!"
In the Western Han Dynasty, from the beginning of the founding of the Han and Hungarian countries, the Huns attacked the Great Wall year after year, thousands of miles of smoke everywhere, from the end of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the war situation in the frontier has been fierce, to the Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu Liu Che period, it is a large-scale counterattack war against the Huns, hundreds of thousands of national wars have been endless, but to say that the Han and the Huns really divided the victory and defeat, the Han Dynasty completely overwhelmed the Huns, or to the Han Xuan Emperor period of the Hu Han evil single Yu.
Hu Han Evil Shan is the orthodox heir of the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu Shan in the throne has always been in terms of strength, after the death of his father Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu he was defeated by his brother Zhi Zhi Shan Yu, had to Hu Han Evil came up with a method that is not a method, to the old enemy Han Dynasty, in exchange for the canonization of the Han Court to consolidate the position, he was the first to the Han Dynasty to call the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the Han Court married the princess Wang Zhaojun relied on the support of the Han Dynasty to ensure the status and Shan Yu's position.
What Muawiya wants to do now, it is estimated that it is similar to this Huhan evil, now it is a foregone conclusion that Fujian is strong and Arab is weak, if it is blindly fought, whether Fujian can conquer the Arabs is not necessarily, but his Umayyad family is doomed to ashes, but if you change the angle and surrender to Fujian?
Fujian is not without a precedent of canonizing the king of other countries, and has been canonized and supported by Fujian, and his Umayyad family can rule Arabia in the name of righteousness, and it is necessary to bow to Fujian, even if the power is weaker, it can not only ensure the smooth inheritance of the family, but also enjoy the glory and wealth, why not?
Advance and retreat freely, from this point of view, General Muawiya was unsuccessful, the politicians are really old and spicy, figured out this, a group of Fujian cabinet ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally focused on Li Jie, who was silent, looking at the eager eyes of his supporters, Li Jie still asked with some hesitation: "What do you mean, accept the Arabs' request for peace?"
"Your Highness, the country of Fujian is too big!"
Wang Xuance's words broke the hearts of all the ministers, and Li Jie, who listened to it, once again urged his head to groan.
In this era, it is not a good thing that the territory is too large, the vast land brings resources, the ruling population, and the abundance of taxes, but to maintain such a large territory, the cost of phone bills is also huge, and the foreign enemies dealing with it on all sides, the rebels within the country, natural disasters**, and the rule of officials**, every problem is enough for the ruler to be anxious.
Moreover, the symbol of an empire's rule is the smooth flow of government decrees, and the orders of the central government can be conveyed to the local authorities in a timely manner to comply with them, but the huge and narrow territory of Fujian, spanning six time zones, starting from Quanzhou in the easternmost part and arriving in Seleucia in the westernmost part, it takes more than a year to go non-stop. In this era, there was no telephone, maybe there was a rebellion in Quanzhou, and the envoys who traveled by sea and land rushed to Tai Xifeng non-stop, and Fujian changed hands.
In response to this problem, Fujian now has to adopt the method of divide and rule, imitating the Tang Dynasty to institutionalize the establishment of the country as six governors, the six governors and kings are fully responsible, Fujian Lingnan Province by Tianzhu from the Tanghua Gupta family Chandragupta as the governor, Southeast Asia Province Governor by the former Luzon Governor Yang Yucheng, Zhongnan Province, the later generations of the Yue Lao Cambodia, Burma and Thailand is a woman to manage, Linyi Lord Fan Ziyue, the first big traitor in Fujian Fan Lijia's sister, now this lonely little girl has grown up, Moreover, under the political impetus of the ministers, he married Li Jie, the king of Fujian, and the entire ruling structure of the Linyi State was completely the model of the governor's palace sent by the central government, and Fan Ziyue, the governor, did not have much power.
In the west, North Tianzhu is where the capital division of the Fujian State is located, directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there are still sporadic rebellions in the South Tianzhu from time to time, so the Fujian State had to set up a clan, and the unlucky Jing King Li Yuanjing was the governor, urging the armies from all walks of life to enter and capture.
Khorasan did not rule directly, but set up the last emperor of the original Persian Sassanid Dynasty, Iheai III, as the king of Khorasan, and led the domestic political situation on his behalf. Under the assimilation of Chinese culture, they had to acquiesce to the Persians to rule themselves, and the territory spread to the present, even if the entire Arabian Peninsula and Egypt were laid down in the future, the Fujian State did not have the energy to rule directly, and it was not allowed to snore on the side of the couch before, and the Arab Empire had to fight in the face of the aggressive expansion of the Arab Empire, but now the Arab Empire is willing to retreat as a kingdom and submit to the Fujian State, why bother to fight a meaningless war?
Looking at the helpless and pleading gazes of the ministers, Li Jie finally sighed.
"What conditions should we make when the Arab envoys arrive in Ctesiphon?"
Listening to Li Jie's rhetorical question, the ministers, including Wu Meiniang, all breathed a sigh of relief, and the implication was that the King of Min also acquiesced to the cessation of the war in Fujian and was not expanding, Li Jie was a hero, and he had been in the middle for many years, Wang Xuance They were really worried that Li Jie would be as reckless as Emperor Yang of Sui, but fortunately, he didn't.
"Your Highness, in order to guard against the Arabs, the minister believes that we still need to abide by the agreement with the Jews and support them in establishing the State of Israel in Jerusalem!" With a sinister smile, it was Xu Jingzong, the old yin ghost, who took the lead in mentioning it......
