Chapter 238 Buddha, I am here to protect the Dharma
Udabandapura, the capital of the Shahi Dynasty, is a thousand-year-old city.

Later generations are called Rawalpindi, and it was once the temporary capital of Pakistan, about ten kilometers away from the current capital of Pakistan, Tianfangjiaobao.

However, compared with the strong defense of Peshawar City on the Khyber Pass, Udabandapura can actually be said to be undefended.

Not only is it more than twenty miles in circumference, but most of the places are just piled up with two or three meters of earthen walls.

Merchants traveling from south to north, and local residents who came to trade nearby formed a large area of ​​prosperous commercial places in the outer city.

They punched out large and small hidden holes in the city wall, causing the already low city wall to completely lose its function.

So this is a basically defenseless city, and the only one with some defensive capabilities, that is, the inner city where the palace is located, still looks like a fortress.

After Zhang Zhao left Yin Yaozi to guard Peshawar, he brought everyone including Madapolo, Kalmaha, and the Peshawar guard.

Of course, this group of people only includes the Kshatriyas in the [-]-strong army of Modapolo, and the Kshatriyas near the city of Peshawar.

Zhang Zhao suddenly changed his mind about how to treat the old gangster Kalmaha. He wants to keep Kalmaha now, and King Zhang wants him to appreciate how his son, Bach Maha, killed King Maha. Dablo's.

Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't want to provoke Kalmaha, but to let Bachmaha know that if he dared to be dishonest, he would release his father.

It is not acceptable for a son to kill his father, but if a father kills a bastard son, it seems that it can be called righteous killing of relatives, right?
Bach Maha glanced at Zhang Zhao from a distance, and couldn't help shivering. He knew that he had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

"Honorable Khan! I am the representative of the tax collector in the outer city of Uda Bandarup. If the Khan can restrain the warriors, we are willing to pay a ransom of [-] rupees!"

The literal meaning of the rupee is actually a silver coin. The official currency unit of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other countries in South Asia in later generations is also called the rupee.

However, the silver coins minted by the Shahi Dynasty with spears held by kings are too low in silver content and are not very valuable. The [-] rupees are only equivalent to nearly [-] Samandinars.

What about beggars?

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and glanced at the translator next to him.

"Tell them to raise the price to 150,000 rupees, or the warriors will have to fetch it themselves!"

After listening to the translator's translation, the tax official Bao had a look of heartache on his face, but he was not surprised.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded hesitantly, obviously wanting Zhang Zhao to feel that it was very difficult for them to scrape together the 150,000 rupees.

Zhang Zhao doesn't believe it at all. There are more than a hundred thousand people in the city of Uta Bandapura, and it is surrounded by a rich and rich plain with plenty of water vapor. Empire.

All the businessmen in such a place, it’s nothing to scrape together hundreds of thousands of rupees, and after a bit of plundering, 1 million or even 2 million rupees can be searched out.

However, this would also severely impact local business, which was inconsistent with Zhang Zhao's original intention of establishing a small circulation of trade routes, so Zhang Zhao did not open his mouth at all.

However, King Zhang turned his head and smiled faintly, and tapped the tax collector's shoulder with a horsewhip.

"But I only need [-] rupees, and I hope to convert the remaining [-] rupees into gold, whether it's gold objects or gold coins."

The face of the tax collector immediately collapsed, 150,000 rupees is nothing, but gold worth [-] rupees is too painful.

Because the rupee can be searched for by small and medium-sized merchants, but goldware, ordinary small merchants don't have it at all, and the big ones can only be sold by rich merchants and tax collectors like them.

There was the sound of the horn, and another envoy holding a white flag arrived. This was the third envoy from Udapandapur.

Zhang Zhao waved his hand indifferently, and Bai Congxin beside him lightly clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out of the formation, the hard bow in his hand shot out simultaneously with the horse's sprint.

With a soft whoosh, the messenger suddenly leaned back, and then fell heavily from the horse.

"Stupid! I led an army of [-] people to this point, and I thought that I was like those businessmen, and I could avoid disaster by paying a little money.

This is not as good as Zhongyun Wang San Poba, at least he knows that if he enjoys the wealth of five tripod food, he must have the consciousness of five tripod cooking! "

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, the envoys were sent by the royal family of Xia Xi in Wangcheng, they were trying to make peace with Zhang Zhao, and they were willing to give all their treasures in exchange for Zhang Zhao's retreat.

But how could Zhang Zhao agree, this land is for him to manage, and the Xiaxi royal family must be wiped out.

"That's right! Your Majesty is already extraordinarily merciful. As long as they donate the city, they can avoid death, but they still want to keep their wealth!"

Qiong Re Duojin held a spear and said beside him, he despised those nobles who couldn't recognize their situation, just like Ge Duo back then.

"Wait for another two days, I think they must continue to recruit people in secret, and they will also encourage Kshatriyas from all over the world to come to the king. Let's wait a little longer, and we will deal with them at once under the city of Udapandapur!"

That's why Zhang Zhao didn't move his troops. He didn't bother to destroy them one by one, so he simply attracted the last force of the entire Xiaxi Dynasty, and then solved it all at once.

. . . . .

In the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, Rajagha, even in a place with a long history like India, Rajagha can be called a rare historical city.

It already existed as the capital of the dynasty in the era of Magadha, 500 years ago.

The famous Nalanda Temple is just around Rajagha City, the Bamboo Forest Abode where Sakyamuni lived, and Lingjiu Mountain where he taught scriptures and preaching are all here. It has always been a holy place in the hearts of Buddhists.

Although hundreds of years ago, due to the need for expansion, Rajajha City gradually became unsuitable as a national capital, and the political and economic center had already moved to Huashi City dozens of kilometers away.

However, as the place where the Buddha lived and preached, Rajgaha lost its role as the capital, and the religious atmosphere became stronger.

A large number of Chinese monks have lived here in history, including the most well-known Tang Sanzang.

And Master Yijing who wrote "The Biography of the Great Monks Seeking Dharma in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Master Huifa who wrote "The Biography of Master Tripitaka of Daci'en Temple".

Even just a few decades ago, the eminent monk of Haidong and the monk Huiye of Silla came here.

Rajagha at this time belonged to the last Buddhist dynasty in India, the territory of the Balo dynasty.

Even after the loss of the royal city of Qunu City more than [-] years ago, the status of Rajgha City in the Balo Dynasty has been equivalent to that of the capital.

Because after the death of Heavenly Guardian King Devopolo, the national fortune of the entire Balo Dynasty began to take a sharp turn for the worse.

Over the past 80 years, the Balo Dynasty, which almost unified the whole of India, was defeated one after another by the Balihar Dynasty, and lost a large area of ​​territory including the capital, Qunu City.

Now it has shrunk to the lower reaches of the Ganges River, and the only affluent territory in its hands is the Bengal area.

In the city of Rajagha, the king of the Bala Dynasty, Raja (she) Japolo, was restless.

He is not such a wise monarch, in fact, it is difficult for him to maintain the current situation.

Rajayapolo's only achievement is probably to force the large and small Buddhist temples and monks in the territory to have no way out.

Because before that, although several generations of kings of the Polo Dynasty led the ancient dynasty to decline, they still struggled a few times, but their level was really not good.

But Rajayapolo was different. After a few years of struggling, he lay down straight away.

This made the monks in the Balo Dynasty very anxious. The Balo Dynasty is the last Buddhist dynasty in Tianzhu. If the Balo Dynasty is gone, the Hindu Brahmins can only be a master, and there are no bald heads like them. Location.

Therefore, in the last seven or eight years, the Bala Dynasty retreated to Rajgaha, and after Rajayapolo began to lie down and lay dead, the monks in the territory were all anxious and numb.

The treasures accumulated in the temples that were reluctant to part with before were pulled out by carts. The monks and soldiers who guarded the temples also donated to expand the army, and even the tenants controlled by the major temples were armed.

Finally, last year, in the two battles in Fahrenheit City, although the Polo Dynasty suffered a lot, they managed to stabilize the situation.

But looking at it this way, Rajayapolo actually still has two brushes. Although his lying down made many monks enter the country's high-level, he also succeeded in causing the monks to bleed, thus stabilizing the country.

"Master Baotongzi, didn't you say that Ju'erhan's emissary has already entered the city? Why haven't they come yet?"

Some were restless and waited for a quarter of an hour, and Rajayapolo, who was a little restless, simply stood up.

Master Baotongzi is an old monk with high nose, deep eyes and long beard. He is the first Tripitaka master of Nalanda Temple in this generation.

After being frightened by Rajaya Polo's lying down, he has actually served as the prime minister of the Polo Dynasty.

The political system of the Baltic dynasty is very peculiar. This dynasty is a truly feudal dynasty. Most of the land in the country is awarded by the king himself to the following groups.

After the group is rewarded by the king, it only needs to pay a certain amount of tribute every year, and the taxation, judiciary and administration in the fief belong to the sealed group.

The reason why a group is used instead of an individual is that the objects of the king's rewards are basically religious groups headed by temples, rather than other individuals.

At the same time, the major monasteries donated the name of the Buddhist Dharma King to the king, and the king mobilized the forces subordinate to the temple in the name of the Dharma King. Together with the power of the king and a small number of nobles, they formed the defense backbone of the Baltic Dynasty.

In fact, it’s okay. Temples use religious power to manage places, and they are actually more able to mobilize grassroots forces than nobles.

The king also saves trouble, he only needs to deal with the relationship with the head of the monastery, and he can govern the country smoothly.

But the key point is that since King Suropolo, who died in 854, obtained the status of Pomo Protector, the Protector of the Law, it has been 80 years, and the temple has never given any King of the Balo Dynasty the title of Protector of the Law. title.

This caused the kings of the Baltic Dynasty to be unable to mobilize the power of the temple at all.

As a result, Rajayapolo changed his path and became the latest generation of lying kings.

You don't work hard, do you?Can't bear money, right?Feel sorry!The old man lay flat.

However, as a king, Rajayapolo had no choice but to lie down. If he had a choice, he definitely didn't want to lie down.

So after hearing that there was a terrifying Juer Khan who believed in Buddha in the north, and Juer Khan sent envoys to the Balo Dynasty, Rajaye Polo felt keenly that this might be a good way to revive the Balo Dynasty. Chance.

Master Baotongzi looked like an old god, but in fact he was very impatient.

For hundreds of years, there have been no one hundred or eighty eminent monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but they have always come to seek scriptures and study, but they have never seen anyone who came with an army!
Could it be that, as the believer business traveler said, Ju'er Khan came here to protect the Dharma because he heard that the Buddha's Dharma was not popular in Tianzhu?
　After the fifth update, I was completely drained, and tomorrow's update has to be written now.
