Chapter 245: Heading for Baghdad
(The previous chapter was wrong, the Fatimids are just rising to prominence, and will not wait until the fourth caliph al-Muyz succeeds to the throne.) Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Attacking Egypt is the only way to extend its influence to what is now Palestine and Israel. Therefore, the current hegemon of the Middle East is still the Abbasid Dynasty, that is, the black clothes. It's good for everyone to know, because the VIP chapter is too cumbersome to modify! )
Jiang Ning rode on a white Arab horse and looked at the descendants of the Anxi Army who were supporting the old and the young, carrying clothes, food and livestock behind him. Finally, I realized the mixed feelings of Moses when he led the Jews out of Egypt.
There is joy and there is worry.
Happily, like Moses at the beginning, he is now leading his people out of slavery and bringing them to a new land to give them a stable life.
The concern is, once these people in the future leave themselves, will they still be able to stay safe and secure surrounded by wolves?
However, he forgot these worries in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't just keep them until they were completely strong, right? That would be too unrealistic, and Jiang Ning didn't have that much time.
"Eun Gong, where are we going?"
"Go to the Big Eat."
"Big food?"
"Yes."
Lin Fu was shocked: "Engong, we should stay away from the land of Great Food, why do we still want to go to Great Food?" Jiang Ning talked to the old man and learned that his surname was Lin.
Jiang Ning's gaze seemed to pass through the space and looked at Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food: "We still have compatriots, stay in the Great Food Country to suffer, we will go all the way to Baghdad City and pick up our compatriots." Then, we are going to the white people's land, and we want to multiply on a piece of land. ”
"Can this be done?"
"Hmph, look at it!"
Elizabeth, who was parallel to Jiang Ning on the side, looked at her with a worried face: "My dear, you are going to the capital of the Saracen Empire with so many people?" ”
"I know how many catties and taels I have, and I am not afraid of these mortals at all!" Jiang Ning is full of self-confidence, he does have this strength, whether it is a European wizard or an Arab wizard, he also knows a little bit. In the strong, it will not exceed the fourth level! Not to mention, it is still unknown whether there is a fourth-level wizard in charge.
"Anyway, be careful!" Elizabeth admonished.
"I know."
The procession continued towards Baghdad, and along the way, it encountered Arabs grazing herds. Moreover, when encountering the city, Jiang Ning took the lead in breaking down the city walls and gates, and forced the officials inside to offer food, cloth, various goods and livestock. If they are not obedient, they will kill a group of people fiercely, and at the same time see if there are any Tang slaves in the city. If so, then they will be rescued and taken away.
This process of constant robbery along the way, to be honest, can very much improve people's morale.
In just a few days, the morale of these Tang people, who were originally reduced to slaves, rose sharply. Although they are still a little thin, they have been eating meat, fresh vegetables and fruits for many days, which has greatly improved their complexion. I believe that as long as you recuperate in peace of mind for a few months, you can grow strong and strong again, regardless of men and women.
After half a month, the team led by Jiang Ning has grown rapidly from more than 2,000 people to more than 10,000 people. In the entire territory of the Black Clothes and Great Food, how many Tang people there are, Jiang Ning is not clear. However, it is definitely only a lot more than your own team. Moreover, the continuous raiding of the Arabs along the way, and the reception of the descendants of the Tang people, allowed Jiang Ning and the group he led to quickly spread in the Middle East and spread to Eastern Rome, that is, to Byzantium.
……
This team of descendants of the Tang people now has more than 10,000 people, and the looted grain and livestock are countless. During this period, there were also big food troops who came to stop them, but all of them were killed by Jiang Ning alone. Subsequently, Jiang Ning retaliated by spreading the plague in the city of Great Food, and even clearly spread the news to the monarch of Great Food, asking him to wash his neck and wait.
The arrogant attitude and actions shook the entire Great Food Country, and the Abbasid monarch Muti was furious when he learned about it. Shocked by the audacity of these people, and angry, the army sent to exterminate was completely wiped out, and only one person came back to report the news. Although Muti was angry, he didn't dare to vent his anger at the Tang people in the territory, but he heard that it was a city under his rule that took Tang slaves to vent his anger. As a result, the leader of the Tang slaves, a mysterious and powerful sorcerer, spread a terrifying plague throughout the city, and as a result, the whole city was wiped out!
With such a powerful wizard that was difficult to suppress, Muti didn't dare to defy the law.
……
"Honey, how about a quick look?" Elizabeth took out a painting as if offering a treasure, Jiang Ning took it and looked at it, and the person riding a white horse in the painting was herself.
He wears a wide black robe, leather armor on his chest, and leather shoulders on his shoulders. Behind him was an endless long line, men, women and children, driving countless cattle, sheep, horses and camels, and pushing carts full of grain, cloth, gold and silver. Everyone's face was filled with a cheerful smile.
Jiang Ning looked at Elizabeth with some surprise, and said with a smile: "The painting is very good, I didn't expect you to have a talent for painting!" ”
Elizabeth triumphantly said, "What you are doing now is the same as the legendary Moses who led the Jews out of Egypt." The only difference is that these compatriots you are leading are not fleeing and there is no Egyptian army behind them. And it was arrogant and went straight to the capital of the Saracen Empire, which was different from Moses. ”
"Hehe, I just want to use this method to let the whole of Europa and future history remember the price of oppression and enslavement of our people!" In his eyes, he was full of murderous intentions.
"Honey, you have to be safe."
"I will!"
……
Distant Baghdad, Muti, the current monarch of the Abbasid dynasty, is furious!
His ministers and generals were all silent, and they did not dare to speak at all. We can only passively wait, the anger of the monarch dissipates, and the news from Yopa, Amman, Damascus and other places these days has shaken the entire Islamic world. The Abbasid dynasty was extremely shocked by the riots caused by this Tang slave, but they could not retaliate, because the bloody lesson of the previous scene was still close at hand.
This made the entire black-clothed food up and down, panicked and helpless.
"Talk about it, talk about it! Now the whole world is watching our jokes! was actually forced to the point where he is now by a group of fugitive slaves! You say, "What should I do?" Murti was furious and yelled.
The ministers did not dare to respond, and no one dared to provoke Murti, who was now burning his brows.
"Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Muti followed the sound and saw an old minister walk out of the crowd.
Seeing this man, Muti's face softened slightly: "Baha, what do you suggest?" ”
The minister, named Baha, hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the leader of this group of Tang fugitive slaves appeared out of nowhere, and he is also a wizard with powerful mana for a while. Since he is a sorcerer, then mortals are not necessarily his opponents, so it is better to hire the sorcerers of our country and those pagan sorcerers who will not convert, and let them deal with the Tang sorcerer in person. If you can kill each other, why not allow them to keep their beliefs? ”
"Are you sure this will work?" Murti hesitated.
Baha emboldened, and said, "Your Majesty, what if you don't try?" It's better than letting the whole world laugh at us, watching the other side advance towards Baghdad, and not daring to send a single soldier to intercept it! ”
"Good!"
Muti patted the throne, and in the end dignity prevailed.
"Haba, you're in charge of contacting the wizards. Whoever can take the head of the Tang sorcerer will be allowed to keep his faith, and I can even give him a territory to lead the tribe as a chieftain. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
……
Jiang Ning was not clear about the plans made by the Abbasid monarchs. He was inspecting the entire camp at this time, and the camp of more than 10,000 people could not be seen at a glance, and there were tents and human heads everywhere, as well as livestock.
Jiang Ning explained one by one, which was nothing more than fire prevention and preventing enemy attacks. After explaining clearly, Jiang Ning went to the smelting camp again, and the sound of hammering and forging here did not stop for a moment. The descendants of the Tang people here, based on the knowledge passed down from their ancestors, plus the wrought iron technology learned from Damascus. It is being forged, the equipment of the former Tang Anxi Army! Jiang Ning can't stay here forever, so these Tang people must pick up the wind of bravery in order to protect themselves! Otherwise, it will still be reduced to fish on the chopping board of other clans!
