On the National Day of the 340th year of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guanjia issued three major announcements. The first is the implementation of the new calendar. The new calendar is called the 'Gregorian calendar'. The lunar New Year's Day of the first year of the Great Song Dynasty is the New Year's Day of the solar calendar. The 12 months are reclassified according to the 365 days of the year, the leap of four years, and the multiples of 4 are 366 days. The five months of 1, 5, 7, 9 and 12 are fixed for 31 days per month, 31 days in February in leap years, and 30 days per month in other months. The old calendar was called the lunar calendar, and festivals were derived from the lunar calendar. The calendar is written in large letters on the solar calendar, and the lunar calendar is written in small letters next to it as a distinction.

The Great Song Dynasty is vast, the sun has not yet set on Corsica in the westernmost province of Europa, and the sun has risen in the easternmost island of North Fuso. Therefore, the meridian line that passes through the Kaifeng Guantiantai is the prime meridian, twelve hours a day, twenty-four hours. Depending on the region, the working hours are set according to the day and night of the region. The opening time is the standard time in all the territories of the Great Song Dynasty.

The second is to abolish the 'road' in the administrative unit and replace it with a province. Provincial-level units are fully re-energized. In the last years of Song Taizong, the road was abandoned and 15 roads were placed, and according to the current territory of the Great Song Dynasty, a total of 32 provinces and 4 provinces were built. The four provinces include Europa, Africa, North Fuso, and South Fuso. Collectively known as the 36 provinces. At the same time as the establishment of provincial-level provincial units, it also established the status of the society in the imperial court and government of the Great Song Dynasty.

The third is to formalize the people's consultation model that existed in the Great Song Dynasty, and establish the House of the People in proportion to the population.

When the news reached the Eastern Mediterranean Alliance, the Mongol Khan of Damascus, Hao Kang, immediately sent a letter to the Great Song court, reporting to the Great Song court that Mongolia under Hao Kang would adopt the same calendar as the Great Song Dynasty.

These changes had a great impact on the Great Song Dynasty, but the impact on the province of Europa was much smaller. Everyone is only concerned about whether the theatrical programs prepared for the 60th birthday of the official family can satisfy the official family, and the real power of 36 provinces has created a large number of new positions, and everyone wants to seek a higher position for themselves in this major adjustment. There are also some people who will talk about Hao Kang's submissiveness after dinner.

Hao Kang, who was used as a talking point, didn't care about this. With the new administrative division, he got a new map of the Great Song Dynasty. The officials of the Damascus court studied the map of the Great Song Dynasty with Hao Kang, and they all agreed with Hao Kang's statement on the Great Song Dynasty.

The ministers didn't say anything, Hao Kangde said. He put forward his expectations, "Kublai Khan once made an expedition to the Wa Kingdom, and the Great Song Dynasty had no plans to do so." I hope that Mongolia will be treated the same now and in the future. ”

For such pragmatic expectations, the ministers sincerely agreed. At this time, Mongolia had set a future goal, which was to unify Mongolia and return to the Golden Horde of Baghdad. If you want to accomplish such a goal, you need to get the approval and acquiescence of the Great Song Dynasty. If that day does come, everyone will have to consider the status of Mongolia. If the Great Song Dynasty was willing for the Mongols to continue to exist, submission to the Great Song Dynasty was probably a necessary condition. Rather than talking about it then, it is better to settle it early now.

Hao Kang saw that everyone did not object, and simply told some details to these henchmen who followed him everywhere, "I have already informed the Great Song Dynasty that I am willing to accept the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, and the children of the Mongolian Great Khan will go to the Great Song Dynasty to study in the future." "There are some things that Hao Kang said, and some things that Hao Kang didn't dare to say. He even hoped that in the future, his children and grandchildren would be able to marry a woman from the Great Song Dynasty like his father Hao Ren and himself. Whether it is his mother Bao Xiweak or his wife Mu, Hao Kang is very confident in this. It's just that it's useless to think about such things, and it's unknown who the children will like in the future, and forcibly forcing them is often counterproductive. It's just fate.

After talking about foreign policy, Hao Kang talked about the things that the ministers were more concerned about. "In the future, the Egyptian province will export as much long-staple cotton as possible. This matter concerns our Mongolian finances and cannot afford to fail. ”

Since the previous year, Da Song has been trying to grow long-staple cotton in Egypt, which has achieved considerable success, and the planting area has expanded rapidly. Cotton cloth was originally transported from the Great Song Dynasty to the Eastern Mediterranean, and now Egypt can produce long-staple cotton, and Hao Kang certainly hopes that Mongolia can produce its own cotton cloth. The benefits in this regard are enormous, and if done well, the unfavorable situation in Mongolia's finances can be completely reversed.

After some deliberation, the personnel of the governor of the province of Egypt were determined. Before the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the Damascus Mongols had already established the Four Provinces on their current territory. They are the provinces of Damascus, Jerusalem, Egypt and North Africa to the west of Egypt. The head of each province is the 'governor of the province', and the other organizational structures are the same as those of the Great Song Dynasty. The assessment also took the road of the Great Song Dynasty.

Not only did the Great Song Dynasty carry out administrative reforms, but Damascus Mongolia has carried out a lot of reforms in recent years with the help of Mu's classmates. At that time, the Yuan State took the road of comprehensive sinicization, and now Damascus Mongolia is taking the route of comprehensive Song Dynasty. Especially the administrative system. Although the degree of specialization and the quality of personnel are worrisome, Damascus Mongolia stubbornly adheres to the construction of the system and insists on putting the framework and theory together. The governor of Egypt, though a fat man, also bears a great responsibility. The evaluation is held once every three years, and finally re-elected. After the end of the term, the tenure will be adjusted, and whether it will be promoted or demoted depends on the evaluation and performance of the tenure.

After arranging these, it is naturally the turn of the discussion to go to war. Hao Kang did not want to spend his life on the territory of the four provinces, he hoped to defeat the slave dynasty, solve the Mongol princes, and restore the Mongol grandeur of Baghdad. In recent years, he has also exhausted his wisdom and courage in Damascus, and after a lot of preparations, he has rebuilt a banner army of 50,000 people, plus the 30,000 Eastern Roman allies who have been in place, and it is imperative to launch an attack across the desert area between Damascus and Baghdad.

Beginning in October 340 of the Great Song Dynasty, the capital of the slave dynasty received news that the Mongol army in Damascus was constantly launching various attacks to the west. These news made the Sultan of the slave dynasty very unhappy, and even the joy of personally visiting the Holy Land was greatly affected. After the conquest of Baghdad, the road from the slave dynasty to the Holy Land was no longer in the way. According to the canons of the True God Church, every devout believer of the True God Church must make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land during his lifetime in order to determine his place in heaven. The Sultan had already led the nobles on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and after a detour and stone-throwing process, their place in heaven was determined. Let these noble believers completely let go of their worries about the future. Nothing can question the final fate of their souls.

The troubles of the spiritual world were eliminated, but the real world did not let the Sultan and the ministers stop. His Majesty the Sultan convened the Imperial Council, and he himself looked forward to reaching an agreement with the Mongol remnants to redraw the border in the areas under their current control. As soon as he spoke, the minister said, "Your Majesty, let's move the capital to Baghdad." ”

These words made His Majesty the Sultan's expression gloomy, and the court of the slave dynasty in the past two years was divided into two factions, one faction thought that it was good to ensure the passage to the Holy Land and maintain the current situation. On the other hand, the Abbasid caliph al-Mustan Sur of Baghdad bestowed robes and canonized the then slave sultans in 1229. The Abbasids were the rightful successors to the Arab Empire, and this canonization established the legal status of the slave dynasty as sultans. The Abbasids fell, and the other sultanates were wiped out by the Mongols, and although there were still some sultanates in the true god world, the slave dynasties had irrefutable legitimacy compared to them.

Looking at His Majesty the Sultan's expression, the radical minister generously stated, "Please ask His Majesty the Sultan to succeed to the caliphate, set the capital in Baghdad, and continue the mantle of the Arab Empire." This is what the brothers of the True God Church expect. ”

Hearing the proposal to succeed the caliphate, His Majesty the Sultan's expression was somewhat shaken. In the history of the true theological religion, the Sultan was originally an official position akin to a governor, and the word was originally an abstract Arabic term for "power", "power", "ruling power", and later changed to power, rule. Eventually, it became a title for a special ruler. Wherever such a sultan ruled, he generally claimed to have independent or full sovereignty. Slave dynasties are such countries. However, the Sultan does not usually claim to be a caliph, nor does he indicate that he is in fact under the rule of the caliph. Places ruled by sultans, whether they are dynasties or states, can be referred to as "sultanates".

Khari derives from the Arabic word for "succession", which means "vicarious", "agent" or "successor". The Church of God has the scripture "I will surely set up an agent on the earth." The prophets and the prophets who preceded them were considered to be the agents and vicarious rulers of the true God on earth. After the death of the Prophet, the term "caliph" was used to refer to the Prophet's successor, the leader of the True God Church. Later, it became the name of the political and religious leader of the Arab empire of the True God Church.

His Majesty the Sultan, who had gone from a local governor to the leader of the Arab Empire, from a religious scholar to a religious leader, was also greatly shaken at this time. He had thought carefully about the situation when he was in a calm mood, and the result of his consideration was not to do it. There is a big problem involved, the slave dynasties were Turkic, and the caliphs were Arabs. The Arabs, of course, can recognize a Turkic sultan, but they may not accept the Turkic caliphate.

Baghdad was the most suitable capital in the era when the Arab Empire controlled the entire valley of the two rivers and the Arabian Peninsula, and it was difficult to hold on to the slave dynasty's turbulent terrain that was easy to defend compared to the mountains and rivers of the slave dynasty. If the capital cannot be moved to Baghdad, the true God believers in the two river valleys will not identify with the Turkic caliphate in the distant 'frontiers'.

But the title of caliph was so glorious, the rightful successors of the Arab empire had fallen, and the slave dynasty had conquered Baghdad, and this temptation became a constant torment for His Majesty the Sultan. While they were thinking, the ministers were already shouting, "Please follow the guidance of the true God to succeed to the caliphate and lead the true God brothers." "If Your Majesty does not succeed to the caliphate, will the caliph be cut off?" "The True God Cult is immortal, and the Caliph lives forever!"

"You ......," His Majesty the Sultan raised his hand to silence the ministers, and said with difficulty, "You are quiet first, and let me think again." ”

"Your Majesty should be the Caliph! Why think about it. There was also a minister who said unrelentingly.

His Majesty the Sultan is still in control at this time, and succeeding to the caliphate means taking on great responsibilities. Responsibility to the entire world of the True God. Moreover, after the fall of the Abbasids, the caliphs were all on their own feet in the famous cities of the Arab Empire, and Delhi was formerly the territory of the Aryans, and the Eutheistic Church did not consider the Brahmins to be the same kind as them.

The current slave dynasty, the sultan, did not know that the Aryans of later generations were very different from those of the Aryans of today. Historically, the Aryans were an ancient people in the steppes of the southern Ural Mountains of Russia, and were one of the three major ancient nomadic peoples in the world. Later ** distorted the concept of Aryans, defining the blond and blue-eyed Germanic people in the five Nordic countries and Scandinavia and other regions as typical traits of Aryans, but in fact the two have nothing to do with each other and are far from each other.

** It is believed that the typical traits of the ancient Aryans should be: long skull, narrow face, blond hair and blue eyes, small eye spacing, superior intelligence, excellent physique, and the most noble race in the world. In fact, the typical trait of the ancient Aryans should be: black hair and brown eyes. Those Arabs were of Semitic descent, with black hair and black eyes. A clear distinction can be made from the characterization alone.

In the following month, many leaders of the dioceses of the Orthothean Church from Persia and Arabia came, and after meeting the Sultan, they all told the Sultan about the gratitude and reverence of the believers of their dioceses to the Liberator of the Sudan, and then asked the Sultan to succeed him as caliph and become the leader and guardian of the Eutheistic world.

Since these people were able to go to Delhi, they were naturally arranged. With the habits of these people, since they can make such a decision under the coercion and inducement of the upper echelons of the slave dynasty, they naturally don't care about having something to do with the Great Song Dynasty. So the news quickly spread to Kaifeng. Zhao Jiaren laughed again after hearing this. made Zhao Qian once again wonder what could make his father so happy about this matter.

Zhao Qian, of course, did not know the relationship between the Turks and the caliphate. In 1258, the Mongols wiped out the Arab Empire and the Abbasid dynasty fell. But the Abbasid caliphate, under the patronage of the Mamluks of Egypt, re-established the Cairo caliphate in Cairo. However, by this time, the caliph had actually become a tool of the Mamluk sultans, and except for a symbolic appearance at the succession ceremony of the sultan, he hardly left the house at any other time.

In 1516, the Turkic Ottoman Empire wiped out the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt and deposed the Egyptian puppet caliphate. At this point, the Abbasid Caliphate disappeared completely. Later, although some people often called the ninth Sultan Selim (reigned 1512~1520) a caliph out of compliments and praises, he himself never used it.

In the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire was invaded and partitioned by Western colonialists, and in order to unite against the common enemy and show that he enjoyed the highest authority in the world, the Ottoman Emperor began to use the title caliph according to the old concept (that is, control over the whole world), and it was seen in official diplomatic documents. This move caused great controversy among Arab countries, and both supporters and opponents were very active.

The result of the great change in history actually led to a new Turkic caliphate, and this wonderful result is really interesting to Zhao Jiaren.
