Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 881

The young nobleman is Aladdin Arslan, the son of Governor/King Ajisi of Huacizimo.

This is a son who is very popular with Ajisi.If the 'Kingdom' of the Khwarizm people can be passed down safely, Arslan is the last person who may inherit the throne of Ajisi.

The reason why Arslan went to the Central Plains this time is very simple, that is to see China with his own eyes.

Yelu Dashi had already entered the Ghaznavid dynasty, and the latter sent a signal for help to the Seljuk Empire. Sultan Sanjar handed over this task to the Huacizimo people, which made Ah Jisi feel cold.

It's so chilling.

The Ghaznavids responded to the Seljuks' call to participate in the Holy War, but now the Seljuks have abandoned them.

Isn't it just abandonment?In Ahjisi's mind, Sanjar ruthlessly abandoned the Ghaznavids in times of crisis.He didn't want to ask for trouble and even burn himself.

But he couldn't ignore Sancar's order.

Then, it becomes very necessary to get to know China seriously, instead of just knowing this powerful country from individual businessmen.

As for the cashmere coat next to Arslan, it was a local businessman from Bukhara.After the failure of the first battle of Talas, the entire territory of the West Kara Khanate was in chaos, and a large number of West Kara people fled into Seljuk.Among them was the person in front of him.

People in Huacizimo didn't even know that he already had secret connections with China, but he was not an agent of the Intelligence Department.The two are just business partners.He can get some guarantees of life and wealth, as long as he can quietly exert a 'positive' influence on Arslan.

Emperor Lu deeply understood the stubbornness of faith.

The conquest of the force is easy to achieve, but the conquest of the soul is very difficult.

When the Tianfang Empire conquered Sasanian Persia, its sphere of influence and the influence of its beliefs were rapidly expanding. When conquering foreign countries and governing the conquered lands, the rulers of Tianfang had a very clear belief, that is, they believed that their power The source lies in the Tianfang religion. If the conquered nations believed in the Tianfang religion, they would not oppose the rule of the Tianfang people.Therefore, the Tianfang conquerors forced the people of all ethnic groups in Central Asia they occupied to change their original beliefs, forced the local residents to accept new beliefs, and destroyed the culture and customs of the various ethnic groups they conquered. rule.

As Bukhara historian Narshahi said: "The residents of Bukhara converted to Tianfang religion whenever the Tianfang army came, but they betrayed their faith when they left. Kutaiba converted them to Tianfang religion three times. taught, and when he left, they became heretics three times.” At that time, many indigenous peoples of Central Asia joined the religion in order to evade taxes.Those indigenous nobles who surrendered also formally converted to Tianfang Sect.Although the results were not great at that time, these measures of Kutaiba laid the foundation for the long-term rule of Tianfang Sect in Central Asia.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the Tianfang Sect has long ruled the souls of all ethnic groups in Central Asia. Buddhism, Manichaeism, etc., can only linger.

Akbar doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of deal. Compared with the betrayal of faith, he just made a good deal with the Chinese.

Young Arslan's fear of China is growing.From Gaochang east to the Hexi Corridor, these places have been under the rule of Lu Qi for a longer time, a large number of Han people have been moved here, pieces of farmland have been opened up, roads and water conservancy projects have been left desolate in the hands of the party members The Hexi Corridor that has come has regained its vitality.

The dense population and the endless caravans made Arslan think that he had come to the south bank of the Khazar Sea [Caspian Sea].It's just that there are continuous high mountains on both sides, unlike the Khazar Sea, where there are mountains on one side and water on the other.

Enter the Hetao area along the Hexi Corridor, which is the key management area of ​​Lu Qi, inheriting the 'mantle' of the Dangxiang people. The prosperity of the entire Hetao is obviously better than that of the Hexi Corridor.

And when they and their party entered the Guanzhong area, this is the land of the Chinese in the traditional sense.

There are prosperous cities, prosperous towns, and densely populated villages.Entering here, Arslan felt that he could redefine what is densely populated.

In Huacizimo and Seljuk, you can't see the endless farmland in front of you. People who haven't seen this scene don't understand how powerful the endless green is.

Regardless of the splendid civilization that has been bred in the Persian region since ancient times, the name of the Persian plateau is also very loud in later generations.Most of the areas there belong to subtropical continental grassland and desert climate, with large temperature difference and little rainfall, and most of the water comes from alpine precipitation.Agriculture, settlements, and transportation lines are restricted by terrain and water sources, and most of them are concentrated in the foothills and valleys.

How did Arslan and his entourage see such a fertile plain that stretches as far as the eye can see?Although Qinchuan has entered the stage of fertility degeneration at the current eight hundred miles, it still shocked Arslan.

As a nation that pays equal attention to farming and nomadic pastoralism, Arslan is well aware of the power bred in the endless farmland in front of him.

This is enough to support a professional army of tens of thousands of people. If you look at it according to the previous Qi army, it seems to be a powerful force that can destroy the entire Tianfang world.

Village soldiers and herdsmen with swords and guns and bows and arrows.Walking all the way from the Hexi Corridor, they have seen too much.

The businessmen who came and went drove cattle and horses, and drove heavy carriages to transport large quantities of materials to distant places.

Many people are carrying weapons!From the common swords, guns, bows and arrows, to the well-made armor and cloth face armor, and even some of the village soldiers with banners have terrible guns.It's just that when these people are gathered together, they will form a powerful army.But in China, they are just ordinary people.Those sabers and guns and carrying guns are the so-called "civilian weapons" recognized by the Chinese government that can be held by the so-called ordinary people and non-governmental organizations.

Arslan found it unbelievable, even if the swords, guns, bows and arrows are fine, can armor and guns be held by civilians?
Armor and cloth face armor are the armor that can only be equipped by the elite cavalry in Tianfang World.Such an elite, Huacizimo was only more than [-] paces in his heyday.And raising the gun played an unparalleled deterrent effect in the battle of Talas...

What appeared in front of him now was such a result—a civilian weapon?
This powerful empire has to restrict management even when it is convenient for people to pee. It is obviously not powerless to restrain civil forces.And since it has the ability to restrain the military force of the people, it allows the civilian forces to hold armor and carry guns, which are military weapons. This means that these civilian forces do not pose any threat to the rule of the empire at all.

Arlans thought of the Eight Banners soldiers who were rampaging the Ghaznavid dynasty. The force of those Eight Banners soldiers seemed not to be much stronger than these civilian armed forces.

In this way, he came to a conclusion that plunged him into deep fear.

——Does that mean that these Chinese folk forces can defeat the jihad army organized by the elite forces of the Tianfang countries?
Arlans' whole body was shaking and trembling.What made him particularly sad was that he learned from Aikbal that the Guanzhong Province in front of him was only the most barren province in China's central and Han lands...

The destructive blow to his soul made him lose his will, as if he was autistic.

The entire caravan and many Huacizimo people inside also became more and more frightened.Many people have been silent for a long time.

This strange country is too big and too strong!
