Chapter 252: Influence and Spread
The Fatimid Dynasty, an Islamic dynasty in North Africa, is known in Chinese historical books as the Green Clothes and Great Food because of its country's admiration for green, and Western documents also call it the South Saracen Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Named after Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
In 909, the Shiite leader of Al-Obedra Islam, who claimed to be a descendant of Fatima and Ali in Tunisia, proclaimed himself caliphate, established the capital of Mahdia (southeast coast of present-day Kairouan), attacked the Idris dynasty of Morocco, conquered Morocco, and then conquered the whole of Maghreb.
Historically, its heyday was not until 969, when it conquered Egypt under the rule of the Black Eaters and established a world-famous city, Cairo!
……
The mighty procession of 300,000 people, accompanied by the cries of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, took seven days to cross the whole of Libya and go straight to Tunisia.
"I've never been to North Africa, let alone seen a desert!" Elizabeth rode a sturdy Arabian war horse with a silk scarf wrapped around her head and rode side by side with Jiang Ning.
"The land is barren, but nature is so magical! In such a desolate arid land and the atmosphere of the great desert approaching step by step, there is a unique desert people! The more you keep moving forward, the more you can feel the beauty and style of this fan! Jiang Ning looked around at the big desert in the distance and said with a little understanding.
Elizabeth laughed and said, "Although the desert scenery is also beautiful, it is full of murderous opportunities!" Along the way, if it weren't for you, these people who followed would have died a lot. ”
Although the desert has a unique and beautiful landscape, in today's era, it is a completely wild place. Not only is the land barren, but more importantly there is a lack of land. And everything is inseparable from water, and civilization relies on water to develop and grow.
Moreover, the desert is full of all kinds of killing traps, and Jiang Ning, who is also a wizard, has strong mana. It also has the magic weapon of all-seeing eyes, which can see through the rules and make preliminary analysis, avoiding some quicksand along the way, otherwise, it is unknown how much the migration team of 300,000 people can live if it is replaced by any one person.
Although there is no shortage of food, the most important thing is water!
Along the way, people not only need to drink water, but also cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. The larger they are, the more water they drink, not to mention the factors such as women, children and young children, they also have a lot of needs.
If you are an ordinary person to lead this large migration team, you must definitely worry about it every day, not worry about food, and not worry about danger. Only for the water, you can turn your hair white.
Fortunately, with Jiangning, there is no worry about water resources along the way!
In addition, the preparation is very sufficient, and the water resources are enough, which is completely beyond the standard carrying. However, people still ignore that in the desert, there is a loss of water all the time.
At the beginning, Lin Fu was also moved by the water consumption of daily people drinking animal drink, and he was moved by a burst of shock! They even want to restrict the drinking water of livestock, but the large quantities of supplies carried by them are carried by large livestock camels. Relying on manpower alone, they all died halfway through, and they couldn't reach their destination.
For this problem, Lin Fu specifically asked Jiang Ning for help.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning didn't say anything, and let people set up camp at noon that day. Then three dragons were released, and with their magical powers, a large amount of water vapor was moved from the neighboring Mediterranean! The rain that rained for most of the day not only eliminated the heat of the people, but also brought new water reserves.
As a result, the migration team of more than 300,000 people, although tired! But the spirit is very full, all because of Jiang Ning's existence. Otherwise, if the Big Four such as Gryffindor came, they would not be able to bring the team of more than 300,000 people to their destination safely.
As a result, Jiang Ning's status in the ranks of more than 300,000 people has already risen to the level of a god! Even the Jews of more than 10,000 people were like gods when facing Jiangning, but because of the doctrine, especially the first of the Ten Commandments, they should not worship a god other than Jehovah! Otherwise, it would be easy to get them to convert to Jiangning.
Jiang Ning has already had a preliminary idea on this issue of religious belief. However, since everyone is currently wandering in the desert, they can only give up.
……
Along the way with Jiang Ning, he led more than 300,000 people to migrate, tempering their physique by the way, and letting them practice the combat skills taught by Jiang Ning while walking on foot! And no matter whether you are young or strong, male or female, or old and weak, all practice combat skills! This is Jiang Ning's life-saving hole card prepared for them, and in case of danger in the future, they will not only be able to lead the neck to kill, at least they can have a way to save their lives, no matter how bad they are, they can also die together.
In the area of Tunisia, which is now the territory of the Fatimid dynasty.
The third generation of the Fatimid caliph al-Mansur was full of nervousness and uneasiness about this Tang team that was constantly approaching his territory! As time passed, this uneasiness and panic intensified.
It's all because of the sensational news that is now circulating throughout the continent of Europa and the Near East of North Africa, that is, the heresy that is incomparably powerful and makes the whole of Europa wary, the pagan Saracen Empire, was pressed to the ground and beaten by a group of slaves who turned over! Not only did he not dare to breathe or show his dissatisfaction with the whole country, but he was also forced to pay compensation of 10 million dinars and immeasurable amounts of grain, cloth, olive oil, spices, sugar, coffee, cattle, sheep and horses.
It was so unbelievable that the Eastern Romans, that is, the Byzantine Empire, were vigilant against a strong enemy, and were overturned to the ground by a team of more than 300,000 old and weak, and rode on their heads to and pee.
And this strong enemy, who was beaten, did not dare to follow and retaliate at all, let alone show the slightest dissatisfaction. Even, when this migratory team passed through the border and important border towns, the city gates were closed everywhere they went, as if they were facing a great enemy. The news that has caused such a sensation in the world has already spread throughout the Western world!
All countries are wary of this terrifying team! Of course, the wary ones are the countries that are also Islamic! However, European countries have the intention of wooing the team led by Jiang Ning. Today's Europe is backward as a whole, and it is backward in all aspects.
Hundreds of years ago, as nomads from the East entered the West, they brought advanced craftsmanship with them! Not only military, but also agricultural and other skills, with the spread of the overall civilization of Europe, the progress of the whole civilization of Europe is very fast.
But even so, Europe is still lagging behind in the face of the East! It wasn't until the rise and spread of muskets and cannons, that is, the beginning of the Age of Discovery, that Europe received a steady stream of blood transfusion support from the New World! In addition, the invasion of other countries has led to the improvement of military science and technology, and by the way, the overall civilization has followed suit, and the West has begun to overtake the East. Ultimately, lead the world!
However, this is a few hundred years later, and now it is the tenth century AD! Europe is still very backward, and the Magyars are now Hungary! It has only entered Pannonia, and its foothold is not yet secure! Compared with the East at the same time, the overall science and technology of the West is not lagging behind by a star and a half.
The most powerful evidence is that the Muslim country still entrenched in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal), the Caliphate of Córdoba, known in Chinese historical books as the Great White Clothes and Western Historical Empire, ruled the Spanish region for nearly 300 years.
When the Caliphate of Córdoba fell, the Iberian Peninsula was ruled by the Arabs, who ruled Spain for nearly 800 years.
……
Jiang Ning did not know about the repercussions and discussions of the 'international' society, and he still led more than 300,000 people behind him to march towards the territory of the Fatimid Dynasty without stopping.
And the court of the Fatimid Dynasty was panicked by the arrival of Jiang Ning, and the court was in chaos!
"Tell me, tell me what to do?" Al-Mansour, the third caliph of the Fatimid dynasty, has almost lost his hair in a hurry these days, there is no way not to rush, this group of people is so terrifying! The head of the family, who is also in an Islamic country, is the boss, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and now he is humming with great vitality.
Although the Fatimid dynasty is thriving now, the big brother Abbasid is not bad! The national strength is only stronger than them, not weaker, and they have lost half their lives by others, and it is estimated that they will not be much better! Mansur has heard that the leader of this gang is extremely vicious, and he has done all kinds of extortion and extortion along the way, but he can't be objected to, and if anyone says the wrong thing, he will immediately spread the plague in your city! It's scary to think about!!
"Your Majesty, we don't have Tang people as slaves in our country, maybe the other party won't deal with us!" There was a gray-haired minister, who came out to make a suggestion, and Mansour's eyes couldn't help but light up. That's right, we don't have the Tang people as slaves in our country, so they shouldn't be able to deal with us!
Without allowing him to continue to be happy, another minister came out to argue: "Your Majesty, I have heard that this group of people is looking for new land to settle down and multiply, if they have their eye on the land of our country, what should they do?" ”
"Ahh
