Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 185 Nestorian's Bright Summit
Outside the gate of the Bala Shagun Forbidden Palace, it can be regarded as the second wave of persuasion has ended, Zhang Zhao did not show up, but only asked Zhang Zhong to come forward to persuade everyone to disperse.

Why do these people insist on Zhang Zhao being the Juer Khan of Bala Sagon?And whether Saktu persuaded them with good words or threatened with troops, they would not do it until they went to war directly?
Regarding this issue, Guo Wan'er, the little wild cat, felt that she had the right to speak, so she handed Zhang Zhao a glass of sweet and sour grape juice, and Guo Wan'er stroked her hair with a smile.

"They persuaded again, Erlang must be ready to agree?"

Zhang Zhao nodded imperceptibly, he really thought so in his heart, although Bala Sagon was equivalent to a chicken rib to him.

But it was he who made this tasteless, and he also had the intention of using Nestorianism to block the westward advance of the Tianfang Sect.

Although these two are not fuel-efficient lamps, monotheism!The attribute of missionary is very strong.

But comparing the two evils, whichever is the lesser, compared with Tianfangjiao, Nestorianism is still easier for Zhang Zhao to accept.

Because after hundreds of years of development, especially in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, in order to enter the Tang Dynasty to preach, Nestorianism made a lot of changes according to the customs and characteristics of the Chinese people, and Nestorianism also integrated a lot of Buddhism and Taoism. Two minds.

Moreover, the descendants of the Guo family actually broke into the Nestorian church and further Sinicized the Nestorian classics on the basis of the predecessors, which surprised Zhang Zhao even more.

Nestorianism after this operation is undoubtedly more reassuring than Tianfangjiao. In the future, it can be regarded as a perfect combination of Eastern and Western cultures, and it can even affect the Orthodox Church in Rome.

And can Jing resist the eastward expansion of Tianfang Sect?Zhang Zhao thought about it carefully, and it should be possible.

Because Balasagon is actually very important in Nestorianism, which can be seen from the Nestorian temples all over Balasagon. Balasagon is to Nestorianism just like the Bright Summit is to Mingjiao.

Historically, until about 1300, Nestorianism was still the first religion of Balasagun, and it was already the period of the Chagatai Khanate.

Here, Nestorianism resisted the Kara Khanate and the West Kara Khanate, which were dominated by Tianfang religion, and also resisted the Western Liao Dynasty, which was dominated by Buddhism.

To control Bala Sagon, Sinicize Nestorianism, support Nestorianism, restrain Tianfang Sect from going east, and then export it to Europe in reverse. This is what Zhang Zhao needs to use Bala Sagon to do.

As for whether it is necessary to strictly rule this land, he thinks it is not so important, the big deal is to rebuild a Suiye Town in the future.

"But I want to say, Erlang, you can agree to them, but you should give your conditions before agreeing to them!"

When Zhang Zhao was deep in thought, Guo Wan'er continued to speak in a soft voice, a bit like Zhuge in the female middle school.

"My condition?" Zhang Zhao was taken aback. The condition is to be mentioned, but there shouldn't be such a rush, right?

"It's your condition. Don't Erlang think it's not normal for them to be so anxious to persuade you to come in? Do you think about why you came to Balasagon?" Guo Wan'er continued to remind.

"You mean, they are so anxious to persuade you to come in because they want to renege on their debts, and they want to lift me up to deal with my uncle, the Great Sage?"

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized, he felt that there was something he hadn't figured out about persuading him this time, and it turned out that the key point was here.

The reason why he came to Balasagun was because Master Titexigu sent someone to meet Li Shengtian thousands of miles away, and Li Shengtian agreed to prepare supplies and dispatch troops for Zhang Zhao to rush to help.

In this mobilization, regardless of the risk of casualties and possible failure, Khotan spent a lot of money just to transport more than [-] people to a distance of more than [-] miles.

Therefore, it is absolutely not enough to just express surrender. Master Titesigu must have other agreements with Li Shengtian.

For example, some of the wealthy land of Balasagun was paid to the Khotan royal family, and a large amount of annuity was paid every year, etc.

As a suzerain, especially the suzerain who helped Balasakon escape the fate of destruction, this is a reasonable reward.

But what if the general sent by the suzerain to help him stand on his own?Then this money, is it saved?
Although part of the profit must be distributed to Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao wants to work in Bala Sagon, like Li Shengtian who was more than [-] miles away. Trout?

Even if it is fishing, he Zhang Zhao is a widow and a widow, except for the Khotan palace guards, the entire population is only a thousand people, where can he get it?
At the same time, Zhang Zhao also understood why this group of people refused to elect Saktu to succeed Arslen Khan.

Apart from the reason of faith, Saktu, as the Great Khan of the Kara Khanate, really wants to control Balasagon, how can he trust them who are not direct descendants?

I don't know how many people will be transferred from all over the world, and how much benefit will be taken away from Bala Sagon.

On the other hand, Zhang Zhao had no conflict of belief with them first, and secondly, his subordinates had little confidence, so they could arrange it without giving up too many benefits.

It is also because there are not many confidantes, so you have to rely heavily on these local snakes to govern Balasagun?
And more importantly, Zhang Zhao also showed extremely high military command ability, and the soldiers under him can also fight one against a hundred, and they can completely serve as the protector of Bala Sagon.

I have to say, if Zhang Zhao hadn't planned to return east, he and Bala Sagon would really be a match made in heaven!
His mother, these old foxes, just want to put his cub on the throne, and then rely on the cub's majesty to pretend to be a tiger.

"Guo Wan'er, go find your third uncle, I have something to discuss with him!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while with his eyes closed, and quickly made a decision. The nobles and religious leaders of Balasagun wanted to save some money, and he could accept it, because Zhang Zhao was originally going to return east.

Moreover, there are more than 400,000 people in Balasagun, even if the population of Talas and other places is added, it is only close to [-]. In addition to the continuous war, you can't squeeze too much oil with a hydraulic hammer.

However, how to save money must be done according to Zhang Zhao's thinking, and it cannot be compared to what they say.

. . . .

Taluosi City, more than a hundred years ago, in the tenth year of Tianbao (751), Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi, led an army near this place, and launched an encounter with the black-clothed Abbasid Dynasty.

The [-] Tang army was betrayed by the servant Ge Luolu, and was defeated by the Dashi coalition army of about [-] to [-]. In the end, only a few thousand people returned to Anxi.

If Zhang Zhao was here, he would have to pay tribute to his integrity and sigh, because this incident has attracted much attention from Chinese and Arabs in later generations.

But Yin Yaozi did not, because at this time, or 80 years ago, the Battle of Talas was not insignificant, but at least it did not have much influence.

In addition to the servants of the Tang army in this campaign, the real Anxi army was no more than 7000 people at most, and it is said that there were three or four thousand people who returned to Anxi after the war.

A total of 200 people were lost, plus the conscripted craftsmen, technicians and other Han people, the loss of [-] people would make them die.

Compared with the conflict between Datang and Tubo in Dafeichuan, what is the loss of tens of thousands of troops at every turn?
And from the fact that Feng Changqing recovered his strength after only one year, and he could still beat Tubo and Dabolu hard, it can be seen that the Tang army in Anxi was defeated, but it was far from being injured.

On the other hand, the Abbasid dynasty, the big food in black, although they won the victory, the battle losses were not low. At the same time, the powerful combat effectiveness of the horse-mounted heavy infantry of the Tang army also made the big cannibals realize a problem.

That is, with the national power of a big cannibal, it is impossible to defeat this kind of great empire across thousands of miles, and the Anxi army is only a part of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, after the Battle of Talas, not only did the big cannibals not go east, but after 752, they sent envoys to Chang'an again and again.

In 753 alone, four groups of envoys were sent in one year. Considering the distance between the two sides, I am afraid that the last group of envoys has not returned, and this group has set off again.

Unlike what we imagined, the Tianfang Sect continued to move eastward after the Battle of Talas, and then spread throughout the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The Tianfang Sect spread throughout Hezhong and Anxi, and it really has little to do with the cannibal.

The spread of Tianfang Sect was first spread to the east by the Persians after the Tang Dynasty lost Anxi due to Anshi.

The later real "hero" was Buglahan Saktu, who was defeated by Zhang Zhao in Polu Prefecture. The Mazar (grave) of this person is still in Kashgar.

And it was actually the afforestation of the Mongolian Chagatai Khanate that completely cut off the Buddhist kingdoms and Nestorianism in the Western Regions.

Under the strong promotion of the Mongols, temples were destroyed and monks were killed in places where Buddhism flourished, such as Balasagun, Kucha, and Gaochang.

Can't think of it!In the end, it was not Arabs or Persians who completed the greening of the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, but the Mongolians who believe in Buddha Humai in our impression. This world is so wonderful!
Noisy soldiers passed by, and fireworks symbolizing looting and massacre were still floating around. Dihkan, the size of Talas City, knelt on the ground and wanted to cry without tears.

Because the ones who robbed them were not the believers of the three religions from Balasagun, but the warriors who believed in the Tianfang religion.

This is really unreasonable. When Ali Dulav led his army to the east, he searched them once, and when the defeated soldiers came back, they ransacked them again.

The flame of anger was ignited in everyone's heart. They had just converted for a few years to ten years. Their beliefs were not very stable. They were robbed twice in a row. The spark of their beliefs was immediately shattered by reality. It's all over the place.

Yin Yaozi is so busy that he can only eat big cakes, there are too many things to do.

The first is to appease the believers of the three religions who have not converted. They made great efforts when Titesigu brought people to fight Talas last time, and suffered the heaviest losses. They escaped by running into the mountains.

Now that Bala Sagon is fighting back again, it is really revenge for revenge, and revenge for hatred. If Yin Yaozi is not appeased, a more intense religious vendetta is just around the corner.

The second is to transport the large amount of booty that was "captured" back to Balasagun. Gold and silver, mules and horses, cattle and sheep, donkeys, cloth, cattle and sheepskin, and tendons for making bows and arrows are all treasures.

In the end, besides Talas, Baishui Hucheng, which is more than [-] miles to the east of Talas, and seven or eight cities of different sizes still need to be governed.

At the same time, it is not easy to release the Persian God Warriors, and it is even more demanding for them to bring back the prestige of Juer Khan and scare the Persian Saman Kingdom from continuously hoarding supplies in Tashkent.

After five days, the others were fine, and Yin Yaozi lost a lot of weight.

Zhang Zhao has few subordinates and officials, and the only one who can engage in internal affairs is to let Zhu Qingquan recruit those literate Tang children in Yutian Wangcheng, and lead this group of crooked melons, but he almost didn't worry about Yin Yaozi to death.

"Yan Duwei, bring this letter back to the county magistrate, saying that a certain person needs to stay in Talas for at least half a month before he can stabilize the place.

Moreover, we must tell the county magistrate that a candidate to sit in Talas must be selected from Balasagun as soon as possible, otherwise this place will still be dangerous. "

Yin Yaozi handed the letter to Zhang Zhao to Yan Jin, he didn't plan to go back with Yan Jin and the others, if he left now, all these days' work would be in vain.

Yan Jin gave Yin Yaozi a sympathetic look. If the county lord is really willing to be a Juerhan here, it will be easy to do. It is nothing more than sealing up all the brothers, and it will naturally be stable. But if you don’t plan to rule here for a long time, it will be difficult. It's big.
