Chapter 996 New Opponent and Westward Migration

Chapter 996 New Opponent and Westward Migration
The first place in Wushi City is in the courtyard, and Ma Dong quickly swept a few pieces of iced watermelon into his belly, a refreshing feeling of coolness came out spontaneously, and the feeling of dryness and heat all over his body was swept away.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year later, the Seljuk Empire has been completely destroyed.

The changes in Baghdad and the launch of the caliphate and Lu Qi made Sanjar's plan come to nothing.

It must be known that in Sanjar's vision, the Persian plateau is a huge flesh mill, and the Seljuks and the Lu Qi army will repeatedly fight and strangle on the plateau with complex terrain.Both sides will wantonly sway blood.

Man cannot live without blood.So the Fertile Crescent is the source of fresh blood for Seljuk, not only for military strength, but also for money, food and materials.

With the entire Fertile Crescent, and even the secret support of the Fatimid Dynasty in the south and the Byzantine Empire in the west, Sanjar is confident in repelling/depleting the attack of the Qi army.

Although the latter's combat effectiveness is strong, but after all, it is thousands of miles away from its homeland, and the two sides fight together to consume, no matter how you look at it, Seljuk has the upper hand!

But who would have imagined that Muktafi would stab him hard in the back at this juncture?

This knife really killed Sanjar.

After Muktafi won the Battle of Baghdad, he reached a "peace agreement" with the Lu Qi army, and then held high the banner of the Abbasid dynasty, calling on the people of the Fertile Crescent to resist the barbaric Seljuks squeeze and exploitation.

Sanjar was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood, even the blow brought by Hamadan's fall was not as good as the Caliph's counterattack.

This is the caliphate, and he raised the banner of Abbas. The Chinese have really become cats who don't steal, and they didn't take advantage of it to enter the Fertile Crescent.In this way, all causes and effects are intertwined to form a big trend of "Chinese are good friends" and "Abbasi revival, Tianfang revival".

Muktafi didn't go against the sky so much that he led the mob to counterattack Mosul. Abdul Mejid was not so easy to deal with, but Sanjar's idea of ​​​​sucking bones and marrow from the Fertile Crescent was completely defeated.

Even last year's winter couldn't survive, so they retreated westward into Asia Minor region helplessly.

Then a new opponent appeared on the battlefield, the Byzantines from Europe!

……

The summer in Wushi City is really a world of ice and fire.As long as you are in a cool place, you won't feel hot at all, and you even need to cover yourself with a thin quilt at night.But under the sun, people can sweat all over their bodies, and smoke can come from the top of their heads.

Exhaling comfortably, Ma Zhi buried himself in the cool chair.Staring blankly at the roof, he burst out laughing.

My backer is right, if you want money, you have to go the right way, and the fastest way is to follow the court to get money.If it is a wise saying!

Earlier, the imperial court vigorously developed industry and commerce, and he invested money in industry. Isn't that more valuable than making waves in the stock market?

To be honest, at that time, no, including now, the business environment in Lu Qi State was very good, which can be called the best in all Chinese dynasties.

The imperial court and the government showed great care and care to the investors who set up factories and workshops.As long as the bank meets the qualifications, it will not hesitate to loan. If it is not possible, can you go to the Jockey Club to raise funds from private individuals, and you can always get back a couple of dates. The business environment is unprecedentedly good.

Ma Dong is not an ignorant person. He has been walking in the mall for so many years, and he has not only chatted with one or two foreign businessmen, but he can understand a thing or two from the business environments of various countries described by them.In this era, an environment like Lu Qichao's was unique at that time.

Perhaps only Genoa and Venice, which were founded on the basis of industry and commerce in the Great West, can be compared.

During the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Central Plains’ commerce was also so developed that copper coins were not enough, and the circulation of gold and silver could not completely make up for the loopholes.The appearance of Jiaozi is a good thing, but its use has a series of restrictions.

But what about Lu Qichao?The emergence of gold and silver coins and banknotes completely made up for the "money shortage" in the market.

Ma Dong has been walking in the mall for a long time, with Ma Zhi as his backing, and knows the importance of following the trend of the times.In these years, everything in the Central Plains was too suitable for the survival and development of the industry and commerce, allowing him to earn a large amount of profits smoothly.

However, his efforts in the past 20 years, the total amount of his hard-earned family property is naturally more than the profit he earns as a military merchant now, but it feels like he has earned more than half of the bucket after accumulating a bucket of water and a single transaction in the past 20 years. It's a world of difference.

When the difficult preliminary work was completed and the entire system of the military merchants began to operate, the huge profits were like a rushing river, and the exhaustion accumulated by Ma Dong's "labor" in the early stage disappeared.

It's a pity that the area they can design is limited to Tianfang. If Tianzhu can also be connected, it will be the real Jinshan Galaxy.

Ma Dong, who lives in Wushi City, now feels like "money is falling from the sky", and the rain of gold will bury his whole body.

Therefore, "No matter how hard and tiring", he traveled to various warehouses and various parts of the Western Regions on a hot day, and he enjoyed it very much.

……

An unexpected drizzle brought a festive atmosphere to Jinhu City, a prosperous border trade city. Some hardworking businessmen opened their stores early and officially started doing business, which made many people who came to trade The outsider breathed a sigh of relief.If these Han Chinese do not open their doors for business, some of them may have to kill sheep and eat meat.That would be such a waste!
Although the nomadic peoples on the prairie herd sheep and horses, they never eat meat as their staple food.Dairy products are the main source of food for the lower-class herdsmen. In the thousands of years of nomadic history in northern China, which dynasty nomads can drink and eat meat in large bowls?

Don't substitute the Mongols from the Rabbit Era into the present society.

Goat's milk, cow's milk, mare's milk, this is their food.

As Lu Qi overthrew the Seljuks on the Persian Plateau, a large number of Huacizimo migrated south.At the same time, the Eighth Prince Lu Yue, together with the general Yang Zhi, led the army to "peace" the Qincha grassland.

Large tracts of pastures were emptied, and waves of rebels were beaten into slavery—Xiqinchak was a prisoner of war.This is also a reason for the Byzantines to intervene in the war, and the latter have the same beliefs.Lu Qi's army swept the East and West Qincha grasslands, and among the harvested heads were not only the heads of the Lamb of God, but also the heads of some shepherds. After the news spread, the whole monotheistic world was furious.

The Pope must also express his anger!
John II could only and had to go to war.Because this involves shepherds, Byzantium can only comply with the 'political correctness' of a monotheistic world by participating in the war!
The Qincha grassland, which had a small population, is now even more sparsely populated.In addition, a large number of Huacizimo people went south, which also freed up a lot of land, which Lu Qi used to lure the nomads in the north of the Great Wall.

Sure enough, many people took the bait, and many tribal leaders took the initiative to participate, because although they knelt down facing the Central Plains, they were still worried about the future relationship between the grassland and the Central Plains.

Judging from the actions of the Lu Qi Dynasty on the grassland in recent years, the current situation of the tribes may not be out of their control, but what about 20, 30, and 50 years from now?

These tribal leaders did not have the confidence to resist Lu Qi. They also knew that they had moved westward, but they only delayed for some time, but did not completely solve the problem.But this is enough!

A large number of Saibei nomadic tribes are migrating westward.

They will not enter the interior of the Western Regions, and most of them will go west along the Irtysh River, so they will return to Golden Lake City.

These days, no one knew how many flocks of sheep, horses, and cattle passed by outside Jinhu City, as well as the chartered cars.

In the process of tribal migration, livestock is a very precious and valuable asset.Only upper-class nobles can enjoy meat to their heart's content. Ordinary herdsmen do not have such luxury.A live sheep could be exchanged from the Han for more than two stones of shelled wheat, enough to feed a family of ten people for more than half a month.But what about a sheep?In two days, only the white bones were left!
