Chapter 264: The Caliph's Decision (1)
The capital of the Great Food, Damascus.
The caliph of the Great Food Dynasty, Abdul Malik, was listening to the report of Hadaru, who was sent to return from the Tang Dynasty, and the more he listened, the more angry he became!
He is the caliph, the agent of Allah, who rules the land on behalf of Allah, who inherits the will of Allah, and whoever opposes him and rejects him is an oracle against Allah.
He sent people to talk badly, hoping that the Tang Emperor would not interfere in things that should not be interfered, but he didn't think that the Tang Emperor actually refused!
"The damned Tang Emperor dares to go against the will of Allah, it is really hateful, as the agent of Allah in the world, I must maintain the divine power of Allah, I have decided to launch a holy war to destroy the sinners who dare to defy Allah."
Abdul Malik stood up from his throne and roared angrily, eager to immediately mobilize a large army, immediately kill the Tang Dynasty, and kill the Tang Emperor to sacrifice to the sky.
His eyes kept turning, and the expressions of the courtiers around him were all seen by him.
Abdul's acting skills are full, but he secretly observes the movements of the people around him, and he once threatened that if the Tang Dynasty does not agree not to interfere in the Khorasan region, he will send troops to destroy the Tang Dynasty.
This is just something he said casually with a hard mouth for a while, but it was just to get over his addiction, who knew that Datang was so rigid, and he just didn't agree to interfere.
As the supreme ruler of the Great Eclipse and the agent of Allah on earth, the words of Abdul must be fulfilled.
But he also understands that the neighbors to the east are different from the neighbors in other places, and the neighbors to the east are not under the Great Eclipse, and may even be stronger than the Great Eclipse.
Fighting hard against such a fierce rival, the last unlucky one must be his Umayyad dynasty, and the opposition within Dashi has been ready to move, and there are signs of resurgence.
If the main force of Da Shi fights hard with Datang, the opposition will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and at that time, in the case of internal emptiness, Da Shi will definitely be destroyed in the hands of the opposition.
If you want to avoid such a tragedy, the only choice is not to go head-to-head with Datang, and go all out to encircle and suppress the opposition until the opposition is completely eliminated.
Now the embarrassment is that as a caliph, what he said cannot be easily withdrawn, even if it is difficult, he must face it head-on, and Allah's agent in the world, even if he dies in battle, will definitely not back down.
Now he urgently needs a step down, just wait for the ministers to persuade him to give up, otherwise, tonight will be the drama of Allah coming up and sending down the oracle!
"We will obey Your Majesty's will, and ask Your Majesty to instruct where to transfer troops to the east to conquer the Tang Dynasty?"
The ministers did not oppose Abdul, and all saluted in support of his decision and asked him for instructions on the deployment of the operation.
Abdul was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, but he could not attack, so he could only wait until the evening to "please" Allah to come down to earth and issue an oracle to prevent the war with the Great Tang.
"Order the governor Hajjaj to lead an army of 100,000 to the east, first recapture the lost Khorasan region, and then conquer the Tang Dynasty to the east."
"Tell Hajaji that as long as he can conquer the Eastern Territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will make him the governor of the Eastern Territory and put all the rich Eastern Territories under his management!"
As soon as Abdul's words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone showed an expression of disbelief, especially Hadaru, who had been an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
Do you want to play so big?
The Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Territory is rich, far beyond imagination, if Hajjaj is made the governor of the Eastern Territory, he can gather a million troops at any time, if he has two hearts and rebels against the caliph, he can completely establish himself as the new caliph.
Of course, Hadaru would not have said this idea, first, the caliph was a dictator and could not listen to anyone's objections.
The second is that Hadaru does not think that Hajaji's 100,000 army can defeat the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides are not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison at all.
"Yes!"
The herald took the order and left.
"What happened to the remnants of the Shiites and Hawarikas?"
Abdel Makli asked.
Don't look at the current Da Shi under his rule, although it tends to be stable and unified, the remnants of the rebels still exist, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity.
If these remnants of the small flames are not completely extinguished, sooner or later they will become a fire that will destroy the Umayyad dynasty, and Abdul-Malik only wants to do his best to deal with the remnants of the opposition once and for all.
"Your Majesty, Great Caliph, please forgive us for our incompetence, these opponents are like evaporating from the world, and no matter how much you look for them, you can't find them."
A minister stepped forward and said.
The reason why they could not find them was that these rebels hid among the ordinary believers, relying on other believers to act as a cover, waiting for the right moment to start another civil strife and overthrow the rule of the Umayyad dynasty.
They have gone through countless counterattacks, although they have all ended in failure, but they are still not discouraged, and with a little bit of recovery, they will once again raise the banner of the anti-Umayyad dynasty and continue their unfinished business!
This was also the most troublesome part for the Umayyad rulers, as these sinners could hide among their followers at any time under the cover of their identities.
This undoubtedly brings more confusion and difficulty to the people who are chasing them.
These two opposition factions have always been the hidden danger of the big food, like a thorn stuck in the throat and uncomfortable.
Abdul-Makli has also tried many things, but nothing has worked, and once the Shiites and Hawarijites have been badly damaged, they will be completely hidden, so that you will never find them.
"It's really useless waste, you can't even find a few bed bugs, Allah is very dissatisfied with your ability to do things."
"If you can't find these traitors again, you will all be punished and all of them will be put to death!"
Abdul issued an ultimatum that if he wanted to go east this time, he must completely solve these hidden dangers inside, so as not to be disturbed by these rats at the time.
The lack of rats hiding in the shadows proves the incompetence of these ministers, and his subordinates do not need incompetent waste.
"Oh~! Your Majesty, please forgive us some time, as you know, the rebels are like rats, and no one knows in which stinking ditch they are hiding. ”
"We need enough time to investigate a little bit, please rest assured, I believe that we will soon be able to find out all these rats hiding in the shadows!"
The minister in charge of criminal law hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
As for when he will be found, it is not up to him, as long as he delays time, it is better to delay until Abdul Makli dies. Then this matter is over!
"And how long will it take you? In order to find out those traitors hiding in the shadows? ”
Abdul-Makli looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground and asked.
Some people died, but not completely......
