Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1312 Overlord
At the foot of Mount Tai, vassal states and allies gathered from all directions. The vassal states are basically visited by the king, Xi, Qi, Tiele and other countries are all visited by the king. The king also came.There were also many tribal chiefs from the distant Eastern Desolate Continent.

Countries such as Persia, Rome, Frank, Arabia, and Jieri also sent envoys.

Although these big countries also dominate one side, the trade of Daqin is very important to them, and they all want to tie Daqin well.

Especially in Persia, it was a terrible situation to face the wave of Arab uprisings on the Arabian Peninsula while starting another war with Rome.Knowing that Daqin continues to advance westward now, and its newly established Beiting and Tocharo Road have already approached the Persian mainland on both sides, but they still dare not offend Daqin. On the contrary, they sent a huge envoy led by the prince this time, with the purpose of It is to form an alliance with the Great Qin to strengthen trade and military cooperation, so that they can fight on two fronts and deal with the Arabs and the Romans at the same time.

Persia's biggest idea is to persuade Daqin not to directly open up the northern silk line and trade directly with Rome, but to transit through Persia.

As long as you can master the goods of Daqin, you can hold the neck of the Romans.

It even stuck the necks of the increasingly powerful Arabs.

Every mission that arrived brought their own demands. King Liugui and Yasha wanted to get more rewards from Daqin, and also wanted to exchange the few ships of precious fur and medicinal materials they brought with them for more exquisite Daqin. goods.The tribal chiefs of Donghuang and Beiman were actually tricked by merchants to come to the Central Plains to open their eyes and offer some local products in exchange for some Qin goods.

Those merchants are very shrewd, they fooled these people to come to the court to make contributions and ask for canonization and rewards. In this way, the barbarians in the frontier will be naturalized, and they will naturally contribute to the opening of the imperial court. The icy and snowy lands of the barren and northern barbarians were places that the Central Plains dynasty had never set foot in in the past, but now these barbarian kings traveled thousands of miles to pay tribute to them. This is naturally a grand event, and they are naturally a great achievement.

The queen of Wa came to ask for peace.When the king of Silla came, he asked the emperor to canonize his nephew Jin Chunqiu as the son of the king of Silla.

King Bolu came and asked Daqin to send troops to help quell the rebellion in the country.

King Zhang Zhung came in person, hoping that the emperor would allow Zhang Zhung to retain the land seized by Tubo earlier.

Tubo Zanpu came here, hoping that the emperor would uphold justice, return the land of Tubo that Xiangxiong had seized to him, and send troops to help Tubo put down the noble rebellion.

King Gundam of Tianzhu sent a reward to come, because King Jieri in the north of today’s India has been ambitious to capture large areas. Those countries that were split after the demise of the Gupta Dynasty originally formed four kingdoms after years of melee, but now Jieri The Japanese family dominates and has annexed the other two countries, leaving only the country of Gundam still insisting on the east.

King Gundam hopes that Daqin can support them. He hopes to strengthen trade with Daqin, especially to buy more armor weapons and warships from Daqin.

In the Deccan Plateau in the south of Tianzhu, King Puluo Jishe II and King Kamalubo in the northeast of Tianzhu felt that the situation in the region was tense, so they rushed to Daqin, hoping to increase trade with Daqin, and Purchase sophisticated weapons and equipment and advanced warships from Daqin to deal with the increasingly tense situation.

"Saint, I am the overlord of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

Today's Daqin prime ministers have broadened their horizons. They know that in addition to the traditional barbarians in the Central Plains, there are more barbarians who have never been in contact with and understood in the past, and many of them are even very powerful. Japan, Funan and so on.

"It's a good thing that all countries ask us."

After the emperor planned to send envoys from all countries, he even wanted to send envoys to the embassy permanently to strengthen ties.

"Far away and close attack, this is the most reasonable saying that our ancestors told us."

Wei Zheng said, "The saint's intention is that we want to fight Persia and make friends with Rome?"

Luo Cheng shook his head.

Persia is indeed handing over to Daqin now. Daqin's Tocharo Road is the later Afghan region, while Beiting's wooden deer is on the border of Turkmenistan near Iran.

"Although I have said that Persia and I have already connected, and the east and north of Persia are the frontiers of the Great Qin Dynasty, but in fact, the imperial court has no real control over the eighteen kingdoms of Tocharo and the nine kingdoms of Beiting. Controlled the Silk Road, set up Fengbao post stations along the Silk Road, built some military cities, and stationed some soldiers."

The Persian Sassanid Dynasty was once very powerful. It was able to fight against Eastern Rome for hundreds of years. Sasanian and Eastern Rome coexisted for more than 400 years, and they also fought for hundreds of years. Although they fought and stopped, no one was convinced. .

The heavy cavalry of the Sassanian Empire once ruled Central Asia, unrivaled, and Afghanistan was once conquered by it.

It was only later that Rome's new emperor Heraclius counterattacked Persia with the support of the Khazars and the Western Turks.The rise of the Arab rebellion caused the Persians to fall into internal and external difficulties.

The Persian emperor Kuslao II is now in a state of desperation.

On the one hand, Emperor Heraclius gathered all his forces to fight back. In Asia Minor and the Caucasus, he launched counterattacks one after another, and the Persians retreated steadily.

Khuslao II saw that the Eastern Romans had captured the Khazars and Western Turks, so he also united with the Slavs and the Alvas and let them besiege Constantinople. The strait meets the Slavs and the Alvas.

An unprecedented battle is slowly kicking off.

"The Persians are betting that they can defeat Rome again in this battle, and then turn around and win over the Arabs," said the emperor.

"Does Your Majesty think the Persians can win?"

"The Persian Sassanid Empire, which has been in existence for more than 400 years, has already been terminally ill, with frequent wars and heavy taxation. The 2000 million people in Persia have long been unbearable, so these years have been frequent civil strife. The father of King Kuslao II, at that time It was overthrown by the Persian general in a palace coup. When Khuslao II succeeded to the throne, he lost to the rebels and had to flee to Rome. In the end, he borrowed troops from Rome at the cost of ceding the western Caucasus and marrying the daughter of the Roman emperor. The Persian-Roman coalition forces were formed to defeat the regicide who usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. After the war, Khuslao II finally quelled the rebellion and regained the throne. He also ceded the western part of the Caucasus and western Armenia to Rome. After that, Persia and Rome maintained peace for nearly 30 years, and the two countries each deployed troops in other directions, Persia to the east and Rome to the west."

It was only later that Kuslao’s father-in-law, the Roman Emperor Morris, was also killed by his subordinates, causing civil strife in Rome. At this time, Kuslao re-attacked Rome in the name of revenge for his father-in-law, and captured Syria and Antioch successively, and then captured Jerusalem and Alexandria were captured, and then all of Egypt fell to Persia.

It can be said that Eastern Rome is facing a crisis of subjugation.

It was only later that the Roman general Heraclius ended the civil strife and proclaimed himself emperor. He quickly assembled his forces to counterattack Persia.

Beneath the superficial prosperity of the Persian Sasanian, it was actually a warlike and militaristic people.

"I heard that the nobles and common people in Persia are dissatisfied with the emperor, and even the emperor's prince is dissatisfied with him. Persia's internal and external difficulties have come to an end."

Wei Zheng was thoughtful.

"Da Qin should support Persia."

"Well, it is true that we should support Persia, but not the Persian Emperor Kuslao II, but his son, Prince Kakula." Luo Cheng smiled slightly.
