Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 988 I Came Back Late

There is an irreconcilable conflict between the Tianfang people and the Persians. Even though both of them are now converted to the same faith, the Persians are a very unique existence in the entire Tianfang world.

Even in the 21st century when Lu Qian travels, the Persian Gulf is best called Tianfang Bay in front of Tianfang people, even if the whole world calls it "Persian Gulf".In front of the Persians, it is naturally called the Persian Gulf.

The contradiction between the two can be seen from this.

Originating from the Persian Plateau, the Persians have been a powerful force in Central Asia and West Asia since ancient times. From the early Persian Empire to the later Parthian Empire and the Sasanian Dynasty, the Persians have been strong for more than 1000 years.Even though it was conquered by Alexander I during the period, less than a hundred years after the fall of the Persian Empire, a huge Parthian Empire rose.

There is a faint pride in their bones!Just like the Chinese people in later generations, few Chinese are willing to be the second child for a lifetime, and let the Beacon Country be bullied!

No matter in the ancient Persian Empire or the Sassanian Empire before Persia was alienated, the birthplaces of those empires were all on the plateau. In the eyes of the Persians, the "Fertile Crescent" has always been just a piece of fat that belongs to them. But it may not be part of them, there is a faint gap between it and the Persian plateau.Especially the Turkized Persians, they are very clear about their origins, and they regard other tribes of the same tribe as 'outsiders', let alone the Tianfang people in the south.

And the Tianfang Peninsula, which is full of yellow sand, is just a barren land where birds don't shit.Whether it is the Persian Empire, the Parthian Empire, or the Sasanian Empire, the three major empires only occupy the northern edge of the peninsula—the coast of the Persian Gulf, and have never been in the mood to go deep into the peninsula.

Even the Seljuks of Turkic descent, who are now localized today, never wanted to conquer the Hejaz area [the western coastal area of ​​the peninsula] and the Nejd area [the central plateau of the peninsula, full of yellow sand].

In fact, the most "root" site of the entire Tianfang World is the inner history of the Tianfang Peninsula. Looking at the entire history of the Tianfang World, except for the first 200 years, the Tianfang Empire that originated on the peninsula also possessed the military power to rule the world. In the following years, no matter whether it was the heavenly Egypt, the heavenly Persia, or the last Ottoman Empire, the real power of the Tianfang world was never in the Tianfang Peninsula.But the Persians have always been an important role in the Tianfang world [Central Asia, West Asia]!
A truly great nation never disdains to play a minor role among mankind, or even a first-class role, but must play a unique role.If a nation loses this belief, it is no longer a nation - Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Compared with the crescent people who were sluggish immediately after the fall of the Babylonian civilization, the Persians who fell and stood up again should be said to be even greater.

The Caliph in Baghdad is in the hands of the Seljuks. Although the Sultan has repeatedly put him under him in public, the Seljuks believe in the largest religion in the sky. This is consistent with the Caliph, and their status is still No need to worry.And as long as the spiritual influence of the caliph himself remained, there was still hope for the already weak Abbasid dynasty.

As Muktafi said, Heila in the south and Wasit in the east summoned warriors who were still loyal to the Caliph from these two places, and then summoned his power from Baghdad...

When Kaim arrived in Vasit by boat anxiously all the way, he was astonished to hear such news that surprised him greatly.

This is really unexpected.

The Chinese have successfully cleared up the relationship and got a more generous guarantee. On the contrary, there is a problem in Baghdad's old home.

His Majesty the Caliph and the Seljuks were already clearly about to engage in battle, and swordsmen met.

Is it because I have been away for too long, or is it too long?
Hakim never expected to see Kaim suddenly appearing in front of his eyes.Are you dazzled?Kaim obviously left Baghdad a few days earlier than he did, so why did he come back so soon?
It must have been bad!

Hakim, who didn't dare to think too wonderfully in his heart, immediately decided that it was the result.Then again he never expected it.

"Not only did the Chinese not blame, but they increased their support for His Majesty?" Hakim felt that he dared not dream like this when he was dreaming.

"I brought back a hundred sets of armor. This is the best evidence!" Kaim did not come back empty-handed. Song Qing wanted to show his generosity and tolerance, and to win people's hearts. Come back as soon as there is news?
One hundred sets of armor is proof.

"The Chinese have a long-term vision and value the long-term future. To them, these armaments are just a hair on a camel, and they are insignificant. Of course they dare to invest in capital."

"Unfortunately..." Kaim's face was full of sadness, "I'm still late."

Baghdad broke out into conflict with the Seljuk people so quickly, and his good news was not sent back in time. You can imagine it with your toes. There will definitely be many weak people who chose Seljuk at this opportunity.

Abdulmeguid's reputation is enough to scare the faint of heart out of cowards!
Hakim's face also lacked the heroism after leaving Baghdad. Before that, Muktafi had a huge danger in the front and a deep pit in the back.The Chinese are likely to be angry with Baghdad because of the severance of the sulfur deal. In order to obtain greater benefits as much as possible, they will force the caliphate to make greater concessions in writing, and will definitely cut off the support of the caliphate in a short period of time. To expose their threat; the Seljuks will not let him go easily. There are many battles on the Persian plateau, how can the rear be set on fire again?Factors of instability must be completely wiped out.

It is very sad that Muktafi and his supporters are facing a desperate situation.

Those who are not determined will definitely play by ear and stand on the opposite side of the caliphate!
Hakim had no choice but to fight hard in that situation. Even if he died, he would bite off a bite of the Seljuk.This is a choice in desperation, even death in a desperate situation will not let you go.

He can be called a true warrior!
Caliph Muktafi was also a warrior...

But this is a helpless choice when there is no way out.If given a choice, who would take a dead end?If it were known that the Chinese would not blame Baghdad, but instead increased their support for the Caliphate, then the relationship between Muktafi and the Seljuks would never break down so quickly.

You must know that the caliph is a caliph, the spiritual leader of Tianfang World. The real power is gone, but the influence is still there.Even if the Seljuks want to replace a new caliph, they must act cautiously and will not simply chop Muktafi with a knife, which will cause an uproar.

Sancar will only use 'soft' means to try not to arouse bad influences and conflicts with each other as much as possible.

In other words, Baghdad actually has 'means' to temporarily stabilize Abdul Mejid.Abandoning the car to save the handsome man, and breaking an arm to survive, also happened in the world of Tianfang.

Although it is a palliative but not a permanent cure, Abdul Mejid can really be 'stabilized' in the short term.Don't look at him aggressively summoning troops and horses, as if he wanted to act with force.

If Muktafi really throws out a few important players from Baghdad, then time must be able to buy some more.

After all, Abdul Mejid is just a general, not a Seljuk sultan!He needs to ask Hamadan for instructions.

In that way, Baghdad can get a period of relaxation, so as to rely on the support of the Chinese to supplement its own strength.

But now...

In Baghdad, Muktafi in the Caliphate's Palace, looking at the letter sent by Hakim in a hurry, he really wanted to cry.Never expected...
