Chapter 57: The Change of Yixia

These people are the foundation of King Yan.

Even here has to lead to a question, are the Han people who believe in Hui *** still Han people?

This question made Yan Wang can't help but think about it.

The core of King Yan's rule is the Han people. And the thinking of the Han people is irreconcilable with the way of ruling the religion. King Yan also does not allow the special status of *** teaching.

Yan Wang's attitude is also obvious.

It's just that King Yan also knows that this determination is not easy to make.

Since the rise of ***, there have been many lords in this land, and they have all taken refuge in ***. This also includes some countries in Europe.

The reason is simple, it is not faith. It's the interests.

believes in *** religion, and the local *** local forces will defect to him. The foundation was immediately solid. If you don't believe in *** religion, the problem will be big all of a sudden.

It was almost impossible for King Yan to peacefully receive Timur's territory.

It's not just this one thing that's impossible. At the same time, King Yan also has to face it, and it is very likely to appear in the future. The locals held high the banner of the *** religion to resist the war of the Yan King.

For this spontaneous resistance, Yan Wang had a headache. In that kind of battle of hundreds of thousands of people, King Yan is not afraid. The greater the number of people, the larger the scale of the battle. The more you can bring out the power of firearms.

But this kind of persistence and struggle in the ravines and ravines gave King Yan a headache.

What kind of place and country Afghanistan is. It's a place where the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. The British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States all collapsed here. Yan Wang naturally also knew the local geographical situation.

If you don't do anything to calm down, it will affect your prestige.

It's costly, and I'm afraid it won't have a good result.

But some things can be compromised, some things can't be compromised, no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere.

It's just that King Yan doesn't want to be so decisive.

First of all, he invited the local Arab elders to show respect for the religion. But it's just respect. He immediately found a Hui scholar from Daming and came here to debate with the elders of the *** sect. Unified translation of the classics into Chinese.

As for what it is like to return to the mainland.

I'm a little embarrassed about this.

In a word, the Hui scholars of the Ming Dynasty have been doing one thing, that is, to verify the content of the first-class teaching classics and the Four Books and Five Classics, that is, to open up the two and become a system.

In fact, this is also the path that Buddhism has taken.

When Buddhism first arrived in China, it was also unaccustomed to the local area. Later, Buddhism absorbed a great deal of metaphysics. Connecting Buddhism and metaphysics is almost one. Then Confucianism absorbed a lot of content from Buddhism and achieved science.

Since then, Buddhism has become an integral part of Chinese culture.

The path that Hui scholars want to take is also the same path.

These people are called cooked back.

It's just a pity. Ripe back in the late Ming Dynasty, and in the chaos at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is almost no more.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the elders of the Northwest Hui raised troops against the Qing Dynasty. Almost killed. In the midst of the Tongzhi Rebellion, the national contradictions were acute, and the moderation faction was not allowed to exist. Not to mention, the ethnic policy of the Ming Dynasty was actually the integration of all ethnic groups into the Han nationality, but the ethnic policy of the Qing Dynasty was just like that of the Soviet Union. Because the small clan is close to the big country, it is necessary to divide the people below.

In the northwest, it has been supported back. Only then did the Tongzhi return to chaos. The two sides are a big vendetta.

Now, as soon as King Yan is summoned, there will immediately be many returning scholars who are willing to come.

Translate the Quran into Chinese, and the official language of the Kingdom of Yan is Chinese. All interpretations of the classics must rely on Chinese. When translating, there are too many opportunities to bring private goods into it.

Immediately, King Yan summoned all the local scholars and invited some scholars from the four northern universities to establish Taozhou University here.

And Samarkand was officially renamed Taozhou.

The reason why it was renamed Taozhou.

On the one hand, because in the Tang Dynasty, on the spot

Gong Datang a natural golden peach. That is, a piece of naturally formed dog's head gold. It is an auspicious omen, something that is recorded in the annals of history.

On the other hand, this was once the Hezhong Mansion of Western Liao, and the locals called the Han people Taohuashi. As for why it is said to be peach blossom stone, there are different opinions. Some people say that the peach blossom stone is the transliteration of the Han Dynasty. King Yan didn't know.

However, it does not prevent him from knowing that Taohuashi is talking about the Han people here.

Taozhou. Naturally, it is the place of the state of the Han people.

In Feng Shui, the West is golden. And where King Yan passed, he also saw many places, drought and little rain. And peach wood is the most vigorous in the wood, and it is the genus of the East.

Yan Wang took this name, and he also has a lot of ideas and deep meanings.

Taozhou is the new capital of King Yan.

Of course, King Yan's decision is also destined not to think about stability in the rest of his life. Teaching is still very alive in this era.

Yanwang is a series of mitigation measures. Doomed. Among them, it is not without wisdom, and the break between King Yan and *** is also close at hand.

When the time comes, King Yan wants to conquer West Asia, which can be said to be difficult.

It is still different from Xinjiang and other places in the Western Regions.

Until the Qing Dynasty, there were certainly many returns to these places in Xinjiang. However, the Dzungar tribe believes in the Yellow Religion. In other words, the belief in Hui *** here is not too deep. The foundation is not too strong either.

It belongs to the Central Plains culture, the belief of immortality on the grassland, the belief in Tibetan beliefs and many other beliefs. A place of intermingling.

It is a place of cultural clash and buffer. They also identify with China, and many of them even migrated from China.

So King Yan came here, although he encountered all kinds of problems. But the clash of cultures is not acute.

King Yan also has to deal with conflicts of interest, these people are willing to be used by the Ming Dynasty and for King Yan. But it's different here.

This was the extent of the Arab Empire during the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was at its most prosperous, it was just a remote collar. In the end, it was taken away by the Arab Empire.

Chinese culture has very little influence here, and even thanks to the existence of Western Liao. Otherwise, China has preserved even less.

King Yan must face religious beliefs, and a series of conflicts.

The expansion of the Ming Dynasty in Southeast Asia actually had such conflicts. But Hinduism is not stronger than Hui, not to mention, Hinduism and Buddhism have a lot in common. For example, Thailand later became a Buddhist country. Not without reason.

The prosperity of Buddhism in the Central Plains is also conducive to integrating the local people into the Ming cultural circle.

Speaking of which, in many places, Buddhism in the Central Plains is actually much more sophisticated than Buddhism in the South. When Tang Seng was in the heyday of Buddhism in India, he also received the title of Master Sanzang. This is not for nothing.

The ability of Chinese to do learning has been first-class since ancient times.

With this gripper, it is much more convenient to add sea freight than land transportation. Such contradictions, although they exist, are not the most important. But Yanwang is different here.

The problems that King Yan has to face are much more tricky.

You have to speak with your sword.

------

Timur was already hiding in the mountains at the moment, with only one or two thousand soldiers and horses around him.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers before him, it is naturally not the same. However, at such a time of exhaustion. The soldiers around Timur were his most trusted and loyal.

In a word, it can be explained. Then these people were led by his son and son-in-law. These troops are also the descendants of the Timurid family.

He's not even a Great Khan now. These people will follow to the death.

However, the problem is still huge.

The first problem was that Timur was getting older. Again suffered such a fiasco. Physically and mentally exhausted, sick. And if you are sick at this age, it is very likely that the person will not be there.

And once something went wrong with Timur.

There was not a single one among his sons who could be convinced. Timur's career will fall apart.

History has proven this.

This is not to blame Timur for not making good arrangements. Because of the nomadic empire, there is no need to talk about the orderly inheritance. It's all done by the strong.

If he had arranged for such a person. Don't wait for him to get sick. This son is about to start a mutiny.

The second question is more realistic.

There was only so little left of Timur's main force. It can even be said that the remnants of the army have been defeated. Now he is still hiding in the mountains. Escape from the Yan King's tracking. But here's the thing. Deep in the mountains, there is so much grain and grass there. Able to supply the army.

You know, Timur's fundamental territory has been lost.

The children and wives of the soldiers were also lost to King Yan. At this time, these people were able to still follow Timur, which was already the prestige that Timur had accumulated over the years.

If the soldiers are still hungry, the following situation can be imagined.

The last question, and that is the question of the future.

Afghanistan is mountainous, and there is no problem in hiding for a while. But the plan must not be hidden forever. Otherwise, just wait for the army of King Yan to crusade. It's a little too close to Taozhou.

Where do we go from here?

The rest of the generals naturally talked about it. The quarrel was so great that some people even drew their long knives. It's going to be fired.

Suddenly, someone coughed heavily. Everyone looks at it, not anyone else. It was Timur.

Timur was not tall. Coupled with a serious illness, he is getting older, and his stature is much shorter, one of his legs was injured in his early years, and he has been limping when he walks. But no one underestimates. This skinny white haired lame leg.

Timur's gaze swept over, and their sons fell to their knees, saluted with *** etiquette, and said, "Father."

Timur did not speak, his eyes were full of oppression. For a while, he said, "I'm *** inspired."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals below showed surprised expressions. But I didn't dare to explain, but changed to a more formal etiquette, which was simply a five-body prostration, to listen to what kind of enlightenment Timur received?
