Chapter 212: Tianjiao's Death
"Wealth like the sea? Where is it? If I were in the city of Kufa, the caliph Abdullah would have sent it to me. Ma Lan smiled.
"If it weren't for the city of Kufa, Abdullah would never find this wealth." Mansour said repeatedly, "General Tangren, as long as you promise not to kill me, the wealth of the sea will belong to you." β
Ma Ling looked at Mansour, the original generation of heroes in history, who also looked so unbearable in the face of life and death. At this moment, the fear could be clearly seen in Mansour's eyes.
The only death through the ages is difficult, even if al-Mansour's generation is a master, it is also impossible to see at this time.
"You'd better say true, you don't have enough wealth to keep you alive. Mansur, it looks like you've hidden a large sum of money somewhere, hand it over, and if it satisfies me, I might be able to spare your life. β
"General Tangren, you have to swear not to kill me before I can tell you the location of your wealth." Mansour snapped.
Ma Lan smiled: "Mansur, how do you want me to swear?" In the name of Allah? You are no longer a caliph, Abdullah has taken your place, what right do you have to bargain with me! Take me to find that money now, or I'll cut off your head!" β
As he spoke, the long straight knife was already pressed against Mansour's throat, and Ma Ling looked at Mansur coldly. No amount of wealth in his heart can compare to Mansour's life, and to kill this famous guy in history, his expedition will be perfect. It is simply impossible to forgive Mansour for the sake of wealth.
The conversation between the two men was in Arabic language, and the translator was not allowed to come in, and neither of them understood what they were talking about. Seeing Ma Luan's sudden anger, the Anzai generals didn't know what was going on.
"General, that's a lot of moneyβ"
"Take me with you, or I'll kill you now!"
β¦β¦
Ma Ling personally took 5,000 soldiers out of the barracks and rushed to the nearby town of Anbar under the leadership of Mansur.
In fact, the vault where al-Mansur hid his wealth was not mysterious, it was just a huge secret room dug under the royal palace in the small city of Anbar. The secret room was dug very deep, and although the Anxi athletes had special tools for digging trenches, it took a lot of effort to make this wealth come to light.
After the Abbasid Revolution, the small city of Anbar was home to the Caliphate's palace, where al-Mansur succeeded him as caliph and initially lived there. Later, due to his decree calling himself Allah's shadow on the earth, and vainly trying to get involved in the divine power, the palace was revolted several times, and the last rebellion burned the palace to the ground, and Mansur had to temporarily take up residence in the nearby city of Kufa.
This wealth was originally intended by the Abbas brothers to move the capital. The reason for moving the capital was simple: to get rid of the shackles of the local power in Kufa and consolidate the power of the caliphate.
The reason why this is the case is naturally for a reason.
β¦β¦
The Prophet had no heirs, but the Abbasid brothers and the royal uncle Abdullah were descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, who were behind the Abbasid revolution.
Haojie Ali was the son-in-law of the Prophet, a true hero, the Umayyad family was once the enemy of the Prophet, and later cooperated with the Prophet to become comrades-in-arms, and finally took the position of caliph from Ali and established the Umayyad dynasty.
Haoje Ali was a noble man, and he gave up his position as caliph not because he was inferior to the Umayyad family, but because he did not want to plunge the Arabians into division and civil war.
Since the establishment of the Umayyad dynasty, Ali's descendants have been operating underground as opposition to the empire to regain the caliphate, the original Shia Muslims.
The Abbasid Revolution was the most successful operation orchestrated by the descendants of Ali, and the famous Persian slaves were annexed. It was under the guidance of Ali's descendants that Posilin became a Shia Muslim. For various reasons, the fruits of the victory of the Abbasid revolution finally fell into the hands of the Abbas brothers, and Ali's descendants were naturally not satisfied.
The ancient city of Kufa was established by the Umayyad dynasty as a sphere of influence for Shia Muslims, and the descendants of Ali were extremely powerful here. Abbas was originally proclaimed caliph in the city of Kufa, so he had to use Kufa as his capital, but the royal palace was located in the nearby city of Anbar.
From the time of Abbas's reign, the Abbas brothers had already planned to move the capital, and the first goal of moving the capital was to stay away from Kufa and away from this base of Ali's descendants.
That's why so much wealth is buried under the palace. This was originally all the accumulation of the Abbasid dynasty, but now it is all in the hands of Ma Lan.
β¦β¦
Above the ruins of the palace, there were soldiers of the Anxi army. The treasure trove was completely excavated, and mountains of wealth were exposed.
Seeing the mountains of gold and silver coins, all kinds of precious stones, precious stones, and all kinds of gold and silver utensils in the secret room, the Anxi athletes were extremely excited.
The Great Cannibals were really rich, and the Abbasids were able to amass so much wealth in just a few years after they were founded!
Wealth is moving, and everyone's eyes are hot at this time. Even if it is Ma Lu, who is the main general, this time is no exception.
The acquisition of such a fortune is really important to alleviate the pressure faced by the Anxi Army in relocating migrants.
The Tang Dynasty is rich in the people, rich in the world, but not rich in gold and silver. Gold and silver are not legal tender in Datang, but they have a purchasing power far beyond that in Dashi, as the so-called rare is expensive. If this wealth is transported to Datang, the value will be much higher than that in Dashi.
"Mansour, how much is this fortune worth?" Ma Lan asked.
Mansur looked at the wealth below, his expression was extremely complicated, and he sighed: "A total of four million and three hundred thousand dinars are worth of this, which I am going to use to build the new capital." Another part was placed in the treasury of the city of Kufa, with only more than 700,000 dinars. General, I gave you such a large fortune, I should be able to exchange my life! β
Ma Lan smiled and shook his head.
"You don't understand, Mansur, that you are worth more than this fortune in my eyes. I came to Kufa City with all my might, not to gain wealth, nor to acquire land, but to take your life! β
Mansour's face turned slightly pale: "Why? I don't understand! I'm no longer a caliph, and I gave you such a fortune, why can't you let me go? Is there any personal vendetta between you and me? I don't remember offending a Tang man! β
"There's no personal vendetta, we haven't seen it before. I'm going to kill you because you're a hero, a real hero. I have never seen Abdullah in my eyes, but the life of a person like you is extremely harmful to the westward expansion of the Tang Dynasty. Mansour, stop begging and die like a hero. β
Ma Lan said that with a slight flip of his wrist, there was an extra bright horizontal knife.
With a look of despair in his eyes, Mansur screamed and turned to run.
However, as soon as he took two steps, Mansur's head flew up and landed in the chamber, where the headless corpse spurted blood and fell heavily.
A generation of Tianjiao has fallen!
Ma Lan put away the horizontal knife and shook his head. Even the most famous figures in history are so frightened and helpless in the face of death.
When a man is killed, he dies. He slashed Mansour's head with his own hand, and Ma Lan was relieved.
There is no talent, there is only one Mansur, Abdullah is just Abdullah, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the heights that Mansur has reached in history. The main goal of this expedition has been achieved.
Looking at the mountains of treasures in the secret room, Ma Lan was worried again. With such a large amount of wealth, it is not easy to transport it back to the barracks.
At this moment, a caravan came up on the avenue outside the palace.
Seeing the familiar emblem of the caravan, the corners of Ma Lan's mouth couldn't help but twitch suddenly.
β¦β¦
Seeing Sogdian Hukang million again, Ma Lan was also a little stunned for a while.
It has been thirteen years since Tianbao, and it has been a full three years since the original construction of Sa Mo!
It was actually not a surprise to be able to meet Kang Million near Kufa City, because Kang Million arrived in Kufa, which he had known for a long time.
However, Kang Million's caravan appeared so just right, which was the real surprise.
The caravan had hundreds of camels, and there was no cargo on them, and looking at the purple-haired fat man's smile, Ma Lu wanted to kick him hard, but finally patted the fat man on the shoulder.
He doesn't like to be toyed with, but he can't be angry in the face of this dead fat man with a smile on his face.
Little by little, the riches in the chamber were brought out, filled with the packages on each camel, and finally some of them could not be fitted, so the Anxi warriors loaded them on horseback.
The wealth of 4.3 million dinars fell into the hands of the Anxi army, and after being transported back to catch and drink, it would greatly alleviate the problems faced by the migrants in the river.
Kang Fatzi is an old man, has always been good to Ma Luan, Sa Mo Jian was successfully launched, Kang Fatzi made great contributions, when the Hezhong Group was established, Kang Wannian sent a million dollars of share capital on behalf of Kang Fatzi.
Although he has always been jealous of this mysterious guy Ma Lan, seeing this guy's gentle smiling face at this moment, Ma Lan really can't have any hatred.
"Ma Xiang, within a few years, he became a very popular minister, and now he is the lord of one party in the river, it is really gratifying, the old man really did not see the wrong person, haha!" Kang Million said with a smile, I haven't seen him for a few years, and this guy's Anxi official words are still sloppy.
"Fatty, how are you doing in Kufa in the past few years?"
Kang Million smiled: "Very good! Business is very good, Lin'er and the children are also very good, haha! β
"Kid?" The corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched suddenly, "Dead fatty, what did you say?" Whose children? You make it clear to someone! β
"Ma Xiang, Lin'er is your concubine, and the child is naturally your child, don't you want to admit it?" Kang Million looked at Ma Lan with an extremely proud expression. (To be continued.) )
