Twenty miles outside Chang'an City, a huge team dressed in fancy clothes is marching towards Chang'an on the road.

After a few months, Mustafa Pasha and his Qi interpreters finally led a convoy full of treasures to Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Qi Empire.

This is the city where their ancestors once been!

It's just that unlike their ancestors' bravado, since they entered the realm of the so-called Anxi Protectorate of the Qi people, the pride cultivated by the victory of a hundred battles in the east and west has also been reined in

A few months earlier, Mustafa Pasha's mission had been personally escorted to the border with Persia by His Majesty the Caliph with his army, and he personally threatened the Persians to keep them safe, otherwise the Ottoman cavalry would crush the whole of Persia.

Safavids, who had been conquered by the Ottomans and had lost nearly half of their country, only dared to be angry, so they had to endure humiliation and let the Ottoman mission enter their borders, and show off their might all the way in their own territory, heading towards the place where their last hope was pinned.

However, the humiliation of the Persians became the pride of the Ottomans, who proudly rode through the city on their horses, looking at the faces of the Persians full of hatred, and rejoicing that they had a strong motherland to rely on.

"Hahaha, my friend, look, this is the strength of the Turks, can your Qi army do this on the land of other countries?"

Pasha, who was riding on a white horse, pointed to a Persian pedestrian who could not dodge being knocked away by the Ottoman knight who was galloping on his horse and fell to the ground with a twisted body, and looked at the Qi merchant Jia Hu with a smug expression.

"Alas, respected Mustafa Pasha, I thought that the moral standard of the Great Qi army, which often provoked borders and then crossed the border to destroy the city, was already very low." Hu Lushu sighed, slowly lowered his head, and didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"Huh. Just like you're complimenting us. Because he was in a very good mood, Mustafa did not care about the sarcasm in Hu's words.

Moreover, this Qi merchant who was lucky enough to obtain a low-level title in the empire was still of some use, so he didn't bother with him.

But Qi Guo.

Mustafa Pasha looked at the seemingly endless wasteland to the northeast, and he was also a little distracted for a moment

Although the Seljuks themselves called themselves orthodox Turks, as aristocrats who had been in the Ottomans since they were tribesmen, Mustafa clearly remembered that they were originally only a tribe conquered by the Seljuk Empire, a branch of the Western Turks

However, intermarriage also took place later, so it was no problem to call oneself a Seljuk.

After rounding, the Ottomans also called themselves Turkic.

Fortunately, the Ottomans, who were at their peak, were only known as Turks through Seljuk connections.

But in Jia Hui's previous life, these immortals who had become the "sick men of West Asia" worked hard for various reasons

At the beginning of the 20th century, with the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate and the establishment of the republic, how to redefine the nation, build a "nation-state consciousness", and establish national self-confidence and pride in this new country has become a very urgent political issue.

The Ottoman Empire, which has died, used to rely mainly on immortals to maintain a sense of identity, and engaged in the integration of church and state. Obviously, for an unusually determined secular reformer like Kemal, he would never tolerate the use of traditional theocratic ideas to shape a modern republic.

Thus, inspired by the fierce Kemal, Turkey opened the road of "historical inventor".

At first, they were relatively restrained, and the fierce people just regarded themselves as the most orthodox and direct Turkic "Zhengshuo", but when they found out, "Eh, this trick really works!" When I started to let myself go

People follow the train of thought of the "Father of the Nation", and the history of the Turks is constantly moving forward, forward, and again.

As a result, later people saw the 16 "wild dads" recognized by modern Turkey.

The so-called "Turkic ancestors" were invited out one by one by Kemal's team, and they were:

1. Xiongnu Empire;

2. Western Xiongnu Empire;

3. The European Hun Empire (Attila's Hunnic Empire);

4. White Hun Empire;

5. Turkic Khanate;

6. Avar Empire;

7. Khazar Empire;

8. Uighur Khanate;

9. Qarakhanid;

10. The kingdom of Ghaznavid;

11. Seljuk Empire;

12. Khorezm;

13. Golden Horde;

14. Timurid Empire;

15. The Mughal Empire founded by Babur;

16. Ottoman Empire.

Among them, 13 Golden Horde, 14 Timurid Empire, 15 Mughal Empire. He is a descendant of Genghis Khan, the "golden family" of Mongolia.

As a result, modern Turks are also very fond of claiming to be descendants of Genghis Khan.

Also, several of the 16 Turkish "dads" are feuding with each other.

For example, 4 and 6 were destroyed by 5, 11 was destroyed by 12, 12 was destroyed by 13's grandfather, and 14 beat 16

Arrange for them to appear at the same time, aren't you afraid that the ancestors will fight each other?

And the most terrible thing is that the "history of the founding of the army" that they call itself is more than a thousand years earlier than the history of this country!

According to the algorithm of their army, this army began in 209 BC!

The ancestor of their army was Mao Dun Shan Yu, who had done the "Siege of Baideng" for Liu Bang in "Historical Records: The Biography of the Huns".

As a result, modern Turkish Jianghu people call it "West Asian Little Korea".

Although his ancestry from his own country was questionable, Mustafa Pasha was different from other Ottoman nobles in that he had a higher Turkic ancestry than others.

Mustafa Pasha's mother's surname was Ashina, a noble wolf.

Therefore, Mustafa also grew up listening to the stories of his ancestors in Dongtu passed down by his mother, and was full of curiosity about the Han people who defeated and drove away the Turks.

He even fantasized that when he grew up, he would follow the example of the Arabic Captain Sinbad and go on an adventure, driving a large ship or taking his men all the way east to see the rich steppes of the Turks that his mother's story had never forgotten for generations

However, it can only be a dream, as the eldest son, he is destined to inherit his father's Babylonian Pasha, and his childhood dream will end without a problem.

Fulfilling his childhood dream, this is also a major reason why Mustafa took the initiative to ask Ying to take people to the East Soil.

Escorted by the Persians with a sad and indignant face, the Ottoman mission also came to the border with the Qi people very smoothly, not only did not spend a penny along the way, but even added six or seven wagons of goods

I thought that after entering the border, they would be able to reach the capital of the Qi people quickly, but who would have thought that after entering the border, their journey had just begun.

From Tashkurgan along the mountains called Kunlun Mountain by the Qi people all the way to the east, except for the mountains are particularly long, there is no feeling, the towns along the way Mustafa feel that there is not much difference from his own or Persian places, at most this group of well-equipped Qi people are very arrogant, and their subordinates will be beaten by them if they have the slightest bad thoughts.

He also angrily argued with the Qi officials who accompanied him, but this group of people was completely unreasonable, and even beat themselves and their own army with a third less than their own.

Oh my God, how dare they beat the envoys?

It's barbaric!

。。。。。。

"Huh? The Ottoman mission arrived? ”

Shirtless and wearing only a gauze casually, Jia Hui sat on the Luohan bed and looked at the little official in front of him with some surprise.

He had almost forgotten what the Persians and Ottomans were coming!

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, according to your orders, the Honglu Temple has also arranged the courtyard of the Ottoman and the courtyard of Persia together." The little official hurriedly replied.

Tsk, I heard that the Ottomans and Persia are at war now, aren't they afraid of killing people if they are arranged together? It's so exciting!

Or the Metropolitan Governor will play!

The little official held back the excitement in his heart, and with trembling hands, he handed the documents recorded by the accompanying officers to Jia Hui.

Hehe, when I get off the errand, I'll go to Honglu Temple to see the excitement!

"Huh? Xiao Sun, look at the trembling hands" Jia Hui, who took the paperwork, also found the little official's trembling hand, raised his head and looked at the little official with some pity.

"You seem to be two years younger than me, don't you? Tsk, listen to my advice, go less to those places that are not indiscriminate, you are still young"

"Huh? No, it's not, the Governor, I'm me. This. It's not what you think! "The little official understands in seconds, and the cold sweat flows out at once!

Although this lord's tone is very loose except for military intelligence, he likes to listen to gossip the most, and this lord likes to have fun, in case he tells his father about his speculation.

Hey. I don't dare to think about it!

"Little grandson, don't be embarrassed, you and I have removed our identities, after all, we are all peers, and it is normal to experience my sister's good for the first time at this age!

I remember clearly, when I opened the meat restaurant, it happened to be my fifteenth birthday, and it was under the wine rack on the north wall of the Bayi Tavern in the northwest corner of Turpan City in the Western Regions" Jia Hui's eyes gradually blurred, as if returning to the early summer five years ago

"Don't say it, Governor." The little official's face turned white at once, and he couldn't wait to cut off his ears!

Is this what I can hear?

"That sister's name is Zumuretti, and she is the youngest daughter of the tavern owner, Papa Bayi, who is three years older than me. I'll lose sight of what she looked like, but I'll never forget her tender eyes, as bright as emeralds as her name suggests."

"Little please, Governor, don't say any more!" The little officials surnamed Sun were about to cry.

She even wrapped me in a red envelope according to the custom of Kannai. Since then I have been meeting Sister Zumuretti whenever I have time, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes in the tavern, sometimes in the steppe outside the city.

Until, her father Bayi's father owed a lot of gambling debts and couldn't pay it back, and I also followed the army to fight Dihua, and she was forced to marry" As she spoke, Jia Hui's tone became a little melancholy.

"The Grand Duke!" The voice of the little official was crying.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it" shook his head to disperse these memories that had long been dead, and Jia Hui also regained his senses, "But I still have to remind you, remember, you can't avoid illness or medical treatment!" ”

"Yes!" The little official finally couldn't hold back his tears, quickly picked up all the documents that had been processed on the table, and left the side room of the Metropolitan Governor as if fleeing.

Woo. Knowing so much that I shouldn't know, I'm going to die!

"Tsk, no teasing." Jia Hui pursed his lips, threw the pen and lay down on the Luohan bed.

Xiao Young is still not sensible enough, and the old officials who are really familiar with him Jia Taiwei have already started chatting with him enthusiastically!

For the first time, Jia Hui really remembered deeply, and the girl's whole person, especially her eyes, was indeed beautiful, but when it came to whether she had feelings for that girl

Not at all!

In these years, it is common to marry people at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is not uncommon for people to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it is not uncommon for people to marry at the age of eleven or twelve

And Zumureti was eighteen years old at the time, and at this age she was still working in her gambling father's tavern instead of marrying, as far as Jia Hui knew, she was trying to make a fortune when the group of drunkards were delirious and didn't have enough money!

In the end, her ending was even quite inspirational in Jia Hui's opinion, not only did she kill her wife who not only gambled indiscriminately but also drank too much, and killed her scumbag father, who sold her three sisters, borrowed a knife from the gambling house, but also took the money she earned and the guy who had always loved her to roast naan and flew away

Among them was that when he heard her story, he felt sorry for her, so he gave her some silver.

What did she say at the time?

Father gambled on his mother and his deceased brother to study, and he was not familiar with it not long ago

When I hear it from myself who is not deeply involved in the world, is this worth it? He gave her a silver reward for the head of the enemy who had been killed on the battlefield. Two hundred taels smaller, right?

Alas. I really miss my innocent and pure self back then.

But the guy who licked that infatuated guy who took Zumureti away and flew away, the hats on his head are stacked almost as high as the Tianshan Mountain, right?

I don't know where they went later, but the young man's baked naan was fragrant.

After taking a few pillows from the side and stacking them together, Jia Hui got up and took the newly sent record of the Ottoman mission, and then turned around and leaned against the pillow pile.

"It's Xu Le, this kid who escorted him." Looking at the familiar name on the cover, a hanging figure appeared in his mind.

This kid used to be a general banner under him when he was the commander of the Anxi Iron Cavalry, and he was crazy to fight

"Huh? The old lady of Pasha who took the lead turned out to be surnamed Ashina? Seeing that Pasha named Mustafa turned out to be a real Turk, Jia Hui became interested.

Since being beaten by Xu Le, the Ottoman mission has become honest and no longer causes trouble everywhere, and Mustafa Pasha has also become amiable from above, and Xu Le asked anything, and Pasha replied.

Maybe he also figured it out, Daqi is too far away from the Ottomans, even if the two countries fight, at most, Daqi beats the Ottomans and supports a puppet regime.

Since they brought white hats and white turbans, it has been almost impossible for outsiders to assimilate them, and the Qi people must know this.

The intelligence is all about Mustafa, implying that the strength of their Ottoman Empire is also very strong, and it has successfully destroyed the Roman Empire, which lasted for 1,480 years, that is, the legendary Great Qin, and inherited everything from her, it is a Western power that is not inferior to the Great Qi, and it is completely meaningless to be hostile to the Ottomans

Well, indeed, the Turkicized Greeks have finally recaptured their homeland.

Most importantly

"Didn't find them in possession of any firearms? That's a good feeling. Seeing this, Jia Hui nodded with satisfaction.

It's not bad, the Huaxia of this world still retains the technical suppression of the surrounding barbarians in this era.

However, it cannot be ruled out that this was a sign of weakness by the Ottomans.

Alas. There is still a lack of intelligence networks for the Western Regions, especially the Turkic countries

While reading the information, Jia Hui also summarized every key point of this information in the notebook, so that the emperor could easily understand.

"Damn, Xu Le, this dog thing, still dares to beat the envoy? I really don't take the national policy of Daqi in my eyes! Come on, bring Xu Le to Lao Tzu! ”

Sorry sorry, it's late.
