Chapter 121: The Situation in the West

Chapter 121 Western Shape shì

After dealing with some government affairs, Cang Fei returned to his bedroom, and Princess Lan Fang and Borosa saw Cang Fei enter and hurriedly saluted.

"Borosa, do you understand the rules here?" Cang Fei said.

"I've got it. Borosa said.

She has been bound by the system and can only obey Cang Fei's words.

"Yes, you are a saint of the Persian religion and a representative of the Arab rebels, so tell me about the situation on your side. Cang Fei said.

Ordering Yeluqi to send someone to investigate the situation over there, I'm afraid it will take a while, and he may not be able to find out the core news, but Borosa is a high-level member of the Arab rebels, and now she has become Cangfei's person, so Cangfei will naturally not let go of this source of information.

Subsequently, Brahsa began to introduce Cang Fei to the situation of the Persian Ming Religion and the Arab rebels, and even the situation in the Ilkhanate was also revealed.

Soon, Cang Fei received a lot of information that, like the Tibetans in Tibet, the Arabs in West Asia were very dissatisfied with the Mongol rule.

However, Tibet was occupied in its entirety, and the Tibetans, under the power of the Mongols, could only swallow their anger and accept the Mongol rule, seeking only a certain degree of autonomy.

But the Arabs were different, although the Ilkhanate occupied the eastern part of Western Asia, but did not occupy the west, and there were many Arab countries in North Africa, they were very wary of the Mongols, and secretly supported the people of Persia and those destroyed Arab countries, and asked them to form a rebel army to prevent the Mongols from continuing to advance westward.

It is also because of this support that the Arab rebel army formed by the Persian Ming Sect and others has been able to hold on to the present.

But the support of these Arab countries was carried out only in secret. The strength of the Arab rebels was also very weak, because these countries were afraid that the Mongols would retaliate against them if they learned about this. It was impossible to overthrow the rule of the Mongols, so he came to ask Daqin to send troops.

Cang Fei knew this, and nodded secretly, it seems that the situation of the Arabs is very similar to that of the Han people in the past, some areas have fallen and are ruled by the Mongols, but there are also independent countries. At that time, the Central Plains and northern regions were occupied by the Mongols, while the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali were independent.

It's just that those independent Arab countries, like the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali, hate the Mongols very much. But they did not dare to confront the Mongols, and did not send troops to rescue these people.

In the mouth of Brahma, Cang Fei also learned about some of the conditions in Europe, and parts of eastern Europe were also occupied by the Mongols. Independent European states were also wary of the Mongols.

But. Europeans and Arabs are different, although the Arabs all believe in Islam, but they are divided into many sects, the two sides are not subordinate to each other or even hostile, the countries are not harmonious, it is difficult to unite, and they do not have the courage to confront the Mongols.

However, although the Europeans were also afraid of the Mongols, there were also contradictions between countries. But all Europeans were Christians, and there was a single patriarch, the Pope.

I heard that the Pope of Rome was very prestigious. Under his call, the contradictions between the European countries were suppressed, and each country sent some troops, united with the people with lofty ideals, and formed a crusader army to resist the Mongol invasion.

Of course, this barely integrated force was not strong, and all countries were worried that the Pope would become bigger, so they tried their best to suppress the strength of the crusaders, so that the crusaders could only barely resist the attack of the Kipchak Khanate and could not regain the lost territory, so the crusaders sent Williams to come, hoping to unite with Great Qin.

Both the Crusaders and the Arab rebels were against the Mongols, although one was against the Kipchak Khanate and the other against the Ilkhanate, but they were also considered to have common enemies.

They could have been united, but unfortunately the two sects were not the same, the Crusaders were Christians, and the Arabs were Muslims who believed in Islam.

So, the cross and the Arab rebels, although they are now at peace, have never been able to unite.

After knowing these news, Cang Fei secretly shook his head.

For the so-called religious beliefs, Cang Fei does not have, although there are Taoists in China, he also has a relationship with the Quanzhen sect, and even canonized Taoism as the state religion, and the Quanzhen sect as orthodoxy.

But this was to repay the Quanzhen faction for their help in the uprising that day, and as a means to win over the Quanzhen faction.

He also attaches great importance to Buddhists, and named Qiu Qianren as the protector of the country, but this is because many people in the Central Plains believe in Buddhism, and Dali was also included in Daqin at that time.

Of course, Gongsun Lucalyx is also a factor, which allows her to spend more time with her uncle.

If it was Cangfei, he would definitely be able to put aside the dispute between Christianity and Islam and unite against the Mongols.

Of course, the situation in the Arab region and Europe is very complicated, and in fact it is nothing more than a conflict of interests, the interests of the Mongols and the Arabs, the interests of the Europeans, the interests of the independent countries and the people of the occupied areas, the interests of the pope and the European countries, and so on.

All kinds of interests are entangled, and finally it becomes the current situation.

The two Mongol khanates, the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate, and the Arabs and Europeans remained evenly balanced for the time being.

Originally, this situation would have been maintained for a long time, but the arrival of Cang Fei changed the development of history, and the rise of the Great Qin State disrupted the balance.

The Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate were originally branches and vassal states of the Mongol Empire, but the Mongol Empire was defeated by Cangfei, which greatly reduced the power of the Mongols and indirectly weakened the strength of the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate.

That's why Arabs and Europeans have a different mind, hoping to upset the balance and gain more benefits for their side.

Cang Fei has been the emperor for so long, and now he has gradually adapted to the life of the emperor, and he has begun to gradually understand the intricate relationship between various forces and the balance between all aspects.

He is getting farther and farther away from the former Cang Shaoxia, and he is getting deeper and deeper on the road of the emperor, and he is a qualified emperor, which can be seen from the growing prosperity of the Great Qin State and the achievement of the world's first power.

After knowing the situation of all parties, Cang Fei secretly thought about countermeasures.

Half a month later, Daqin came with 500,000 reinforcements from the Central Plains, plus 500,000 Tumeng troops in Xinjiang, and the Tumeng army here has reached one million.

Cang Fei had begun to prepare for the westward expedition before attacking Tibet, but he had not yet been so bad as to go on a rampage that the expedition was tyrannical, so he was only slow to prepare. (To be continued......)
