At the end of December, even the temperature in Central Asia becomes cool, the ocean climate is cloudy and rainy, the Persian Gulf is like a bullied girl, and the ocean monsoon breeze continues to shed tears under the Iranian plateau. It is recommended to read the novel for the first time

The cooler weather made the Min army, which had been tortured by the scorching heat, feel like it was liberated, and with the support of the sailors, the continuous march through the rugged terrain of the Iranian plateau.

Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, Coleman, Masdehar and coastal Samanid were also surrendered or captured, and now, for the first time, the birthplace of the Persian Empire has completely fallen into the hands of the Min State.

As of the early years of Longshuo, which is about to begin, the war with the Arab Empire was simply smooth sailing, and now, more than 200,000 troops are pressed on the border of Khorasan, under the salt desert of Kavir, on the edge of the Mesopotamian plain, ready to continue to attack one of the economic pillars of the Arab Empire, equivalent to the vast territory of Iraq in later generations.

After being driven out for a few more years, the Zoroastrian flame returned to Isfahan and set foot on the old land of Khorasan, and the old face of the last Persian emperor, Isia III, was filled with tears.

In particular, Li Jie supported him to rebuild the Kingdom of Khorasan, and let this old guy who grew up as a puppet and died once again was grateful to the extreme, in Isfahan, Izi III personally led many conquered Persian nobles to kneel in front of Li Jie's palace, and dedicated the title of Shahansha and the golden crown of the Persian Empire to Li Jie.

Shahansha means the lord of Persia, the king of kings, relying on this, Li Jie can even be called the emperor of Central Asia, but unfortunately, as always, this king of Min is still so lonely, and the king of Min with Li Shimin's title is still hanging around, so that the ministers who are eager to follow the dragon are choked enough.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Khorasan was due to Li Jie's careful consideration with many Fujian states, because the Min state was not suitable for direct rule of Khorasan.

Since his debut, Li Jie has defeated, conquered or plotted many countries, Turkic treason, Goguryeo, Baekje, Wa, Linyi, countless Fang tribes in Southeast Asia, and Tianzhu has at least twenty countries, but it is really argued that Li Jie conquered only one civilization, Tianzhu civilization.

The Turkish civilization in Southeast Asia is too shallow, and even in Li Jie's view, it is not an independent civilization at this time, as for the East China Sea, whether it is the Linyi Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom or Goguryeo, it can be counted in the Chinese civilization circle, and it has been assimilated by the Chinese civilization for most of it, and the Tang Dynasty ruled it very easily, while the Southeast Asian Tu people, the civilization is as blank as a blank paper, and it is easy to assimilate and absorb the prosperous culture of the Tang people.

The only thing that is difficult to do is as one of the four ancient civilizations of Tianzhu people, they have their own independent civilization, culture, values in their minds, unique ways of thinking, Fujian is almost forced into the world of Tianzhu people, until now, the south of Tianzhu is still resisting, the north of Tianzhu is the strong infiltration of sand in the north of Fujian mixed into Persia, Tibet, Turkic, Japanese and Tang people to live together, which suppressed the population advantage of Tianzhu and maintained a relatively stable.

The situation in Khorasan today is no different from that of the Tianzhu people, and the Islamized Persians have rejected any foreign civilization, even Arabia, let alone the Fujian kingdom that has plundered the territory of Khorasan

Don't look at the recent Li Jie's war against the Arab Empire has been extremely smooth, almost all of the Persians have been defeated, the real Arab fanatical Islamic army has not yet been encountered, if the forcible annexation of Khorasan will cause the local people to resist, if it competes with the powerful Islamic army, there is a rebellious Khorasan behind him, even if Genghis Khan is alive, it is estimated that he will be defeated.

But the establishment of the Kingdom of Khorasan is different, the rule is mixed with Tang and Persians, the army is almost all guided by the Fujian State, Yi Si Ai III has an administrative power and needs to discuss with the King of Min, Li Jie also has a big hat of Shahansha, and he has suzerainty over Persia in the name of it, and at the same time, the Persian nobles are naturally close to the Sassanid royal family, and they can reduce resistance, killing two birds with one stone.

And as soon as the war ended, a large number of Tang merchants in Fujian were like flies smelling carrion, and immediately went out of the Xinhan Valley, and rushed to Khorasan in a swarm, along the river, a piece of farm orchards were established, many people jointly built workshops with the local Persian nobles, industry and commerce began to flourish, coupled with the end of political turmoil, Khorasan has already been due to political conflicts and wars The population has been greatly reduced, and the displaced people have been absorbed almost all at once, and Khorasan with jobs and income turmoil has stabilized in just a few days.

The name was changed to appease the Persian stalwarts, and then the investment brought by the rich and developed industry and commerce directly revived the economy of Khorasan, and in a short time Fujian created a stable rear.

In particular, Li Jie was very clever not to ban Islam, but next to the mosque, the Hongwen Hall, the Christian church, the Zoroastrian temple, and even the Buddhist temple, Taoist temple, and Brahmin temple were lined up, and the policy of the Fujian State has always been like this, freedom of belief, and even the poll tax levied by the Arab Empire on infidels have been banned.

As a result, there were such wonders on the streets of Isfahan, Mulu City, Samani and other cities, just like street performers, Brahmins, Shaolin warrior monks, Christian priests, and Zoroastrian priests set up a team, preaching to the stage, preaching their own sect classics one by one, and earning a lot of joy, and those Persians who had never seen the world were stunned, and hesitated left and right and didn't know who could save their poor souls.

Among so many temples and churches, the most popular is the Hongbunkan, which is silently open, because they are the only ones who have not announced anything to save the souls of the next life, they are saving the Yankuai in this life.

Chao for Tian Shelang, Xi Dengtianzi Hall! Being an official is very well understood by these Persians. Persian thousands of years of aristocratic monopoly official tradition was broken, Hongwen Hall was almost stuffed, all kinds of nobles, rich businessmen, landlords and lords took out the enthusiasm of later generations of local tyrants for their children to study abroad, begged grandpa to tell grandma to send Persian little rich and handsome white rich and beautiful people in, and the poor people also kowtowed everywhere to send their children in as apprentices and miscellaneous helpers.

If it weren't for the fact that there were fewer Confucians from Fujian, it would not be a problem to implement large-scale Tang education in the short term.

The political situation was smooth sailing, and Fujian also gained a great advantage in the war.

On the side of Constantinople, Hou Jie and Li took advantage of the prestige of the Min State among the Turks, in addition to recruiting the Bulgarians, they also recruited more than a dozen small tribes of the Central Asian Turks, almost 15,000 steppe cavalry.

But even if this force plus the defenders of Constantinople still can't defeat the Arab army, and at first Hou Jie didn't want to help Anna repel the Arabs, as long as he held Constantinople, and waited until Min attacked the core area of the West Asian Empire, Muawiya, who couldn't bear the strength, said that he had to retreat, but later, Anna said a word that moved him.

What the king of Min needs is an ally who can provide military assistance and flank the Arabs on both sides, not the burden of waiting for assistance in Constantinople at any time, holding the city, waiting for support at any time, or defeating Muawiya's army, so that he will lose his prestige and return to West Asia, and there is Byzantium behind him to constantly contain the rear, which situation is more willing to see the king of Min?

Obviously, Hou Jie was moved.

In order to fight a decisive battle with the Arabs, Anna really made a bloody investment, did not bring the Bulgarians back to help defend the city, and allowed the Arab army to dig tunnels, and used the defense of the city to transform into a brutal street battle, destroying the price of half of Constantinople, in exchange for an opportunity for the Arabs to enter the city in chaos and exhaustion, from the rear, Hou Jie divided the 15,000 nomadic cavalry into three waves, and successively entered the battle, using this gap to empty the army around Mu'awiya.

The cannon fodder army of the Arab army that landed west of Constantinople totaled nearly 100,000 people, and less than 3,000 people escaped on ships under the First World War and were taken back to Asia, armed with Damascus scimitars and the finest chain mail.

In the west, Byzantium began a counteroffensive against Asia Minor, and in the south, the fleet of Fujian attacked the Arabian Peninsula for the first time in the 78 years since the beginning of the Islamic expansion movement, and attacked the Yemen area, near the Persian Gulf, including the UAE and Dubai in later generations, all of which left the footprints of Fujian.

From three aspects, the state of Fujian and its allies had formed a three-sided encirclement of the Arab Empire, which had been rampant for a century, but Li Jie was not happy.

The 200,000 army was divided into three routes, the vanguard army of 50,000 was already in Xijunmai, and Yaoge Luo and a few vanguard officers were the first to break into the Mesopotamian plain, and the general headquarters was located in Isfahan, the palace of the original governor of Khorasan in the Arab Empire. Sitting under the courtyard corridor with a unique Arabian style, the desk was full of important military news from all over the world, staring at the panting messenger full of dust below, even if Li Jie had been through the wind and rain for a long time, his brows full of majesty were twisted into big pimples.

After a hundred dreams, Li Jie didn't expect that Li Zhi, a bastard, would actually turn over and restore successfully, and in such a short period of less than a year.

He really underestimated the influence of imperial power.

"His Royal Highness, the queen ordered to pass the letter under the order, at the end of the sixth year of Yonghui, Emperor Li Zhi launched a mutiny, and now the Zhongshu Provincial Zhishang Shumen ordered that Lord Chu Suiliang has died, and the four major eunuch leaders of the inner court have all been executed, and General Li Ji of the Liaodong Road Marching Daxingtai was dismissed, replaced by the Duke of Dongping County, Cheng Mingzhen, the protector of Dongyi, and the prime minister Li Yifu was imprisoned, and the forbidden army of the Northern Ya and the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya all fell into the hands of Li Zhi!"

"Your Highness, what should I do?" His lips were chapped and his eyes were bloodshot, and the Wang clan who came to deliver the letter raised his head hoarsely and looked at Li Jie, his brows furrowed even higher, but Li Jie leaned back heavily, pinched his chin and thought about it......
