The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

On the first day of the eighth lunar month in Tianshun, the weather is sunny and the omen is very good!
But on such an auspicious day, the old lady of Duke Cheng'en's mansion disappeared.

She persisted until the end of last year, and married Xu Maodong's daughter-in-law. Before she got a trumpet, she couldn't hold on anymore.

The 20-year-old Duke Cheng'enguo Xu Maodong officially took power and became the head of the Xu family.

Xia Hongdi looked at a secret book on the table, and turned the wrench in his hand: "Well, he is a smart man, so let's do it."

Manager Cheng lowered his eyebrows and stepped back.

Daxia's fleet successfully arrived at the Seven Islands of Mumbai on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Long Qi, who has seen it?The residents on the island thought that some big country was calling, and they were a false alarm.

This place is still far away from the capital of Tianzhu, so the large troops had to stay in the archipelago and wait.

More than 500 people, with some commodities, rushed to Delhi in a mighty way.

Ten days later, the Sultan of Delhi, the supreme leader of the regime in northern Tianzhu, received them.

The eighth Sultan of Delhi, about 37 years old, is very tall and mighty.

Judging from his face, he has a round face and a relatively large face, with some Tatar outlines.

Sure enough, when he spoke, he really spoke Tatar.

"Great Xia Dynasty? The Great Xia Dynasty that replaced Li Tang?" Delhi Sultan glanced at the three leaders, with a sense of oppression in his tone.

Huang Shangshu was refreshed, he finally had a place to play, Tatar, he is familiar with it!
"Yes, Manni Sultan (an honorific title for the monarch)! It has been more than two hundred years since the Great Xia Dynasty and the founding of the country at the end of Tang Dynasty!" It's not that he couldn't feel the pressure, but he was overwhelmed by the sudden fluent language.

"Then let's talk about the Great Xia Dynasty, and tell us about your Emperor Tianshun!" The Sultan of Delhi seemed to be very unfamiliar with the Great Xia and wanted to hear their detailed introduction.

Huang Shangshu straightened his back, neither humble nor overbearing, and reported Xia Hongdi's great achievements one by one.

The sultan and his confidants listened for more than a quarter of an hour without saying a word.

Although Zhong Qinbo and Gao Zongbing couldn't understand Tatar, they could see Huang Shangshu's expression and his excitement.

The two looked at each other, but they couldn't understand, no matter what.

This interview, within half an hour before and after, ended hastily.

The sultan's attitude towards the national gift they presented was casual, neither surprised nor displeased.

When everyone returned to the inn where they were staying, Gao Huaiyu held Huang Shangshu in puzzlement:
"My lord, is this sultan a Tatar? Why did he come to Tianzhu to become emperor?"

Uncle Zhongqin, who had a junior high school education, was also very confused. He didn't learn the world history in detail at that time.

He only knows that Tianzhu has experienced many dynasties, and was colonized by Britain for nearly 200 years in modern times.

The English pronunciation in Indian movies has been ridiculed by the Chinese for many years.

He had no notion that a Tartar had ever been king of India.

Anyway, Great Xia was able to replace the Song Dynasty, and he didn't dare to use official history to describe the present.

For the time being, suppress the doubts in your heart and listen to Huang Shangshu's explanation.

"The old man is estimated to be a descendant of the Western Tatars, a tribe defeated by Xuanzong. However, it has been a matter of how many years. We are now representing the Great Xia. Let's see if their sultan wants to establish diplomatic relations with us."

Regardless of Huang Shangshu's appearance of an old god, he couldn't understand the attitude of the Sultan of Delhi, and he felt uneasy.

But he can't, he can't show his timidity in front of the other two young people!
"Hehe, the Tang Dynasty was able to beat them to pieces, and our Daxia almost broke through their old background. This Tatar is even more incompetent now!"

To say that Gao Huaiyu's biggest regret back then was that he had no chance to go to the northern battlefield.

"General, be careful! Who knows if they will also be familiar with our official language!"

Gao Huaiyu had no choice but to shut up, he was indeed a little arrogant.

Hei Wa usually ignores things that she doesn't understand and can't figure out about herself.

To their surprise, the eighth sultan of Tianzhu exchanged credentials with them very quickly and formally established diplomatic relations with the Great Xia Dynasty.

During these days of waiting, Heiwa and Gao Huaiyu were not idle at all.

After inquiring from various sources, Feisal was also asked to help me a lot, and I finally managed to piece together some relevant information about the regime in the northern part of Tianzhu:
It turns out that the first founder of this dynasty was a slave of a tribal leader's family in Tatar.

What is inspiring is that this slave is brave and warlike. Since he was ten years old, he has been fighting with his master all the way.

As the tribe became stronger and stronger, he became a general's slave and married the tribe leader's daughter as his wife.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law was assassinated and died, and he had no heirs during his lifetime!

He himself won the support of his master's old tribe, defeated competitors from other tribes here, and became the successor of the new dynasty.

After the slave sultan took office, he moved his capital to Delhi and called himself the Sultan of Delhi.

Interestingly, after the death of the Sultan of Delhi, his son-in-law took over.

The throne has been passed down to this day, and it is the eighth generation.

Eight sultans, the longest serving time is 30 years, short three or four years.

Because of the interest groups within the dynasty, the struggle was very fierce, with forty families fighting each other.

The last few sultans were held by the families with the strongest military strength.

The current Delhi dynasty conquered North India, East India and Central India.

To the south of them, there is also a long-established and ancient Pandya dynasty.

It has been crusaded for many years and has not yet been included in the sphere of influence of the Delhi Sultan.

"Hey, this slave can turn himself into a master and become a monarch!"

Gao Huaiyu was very surprised. The founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was also a son of a nobleman.

Heiwa: It's really strange, but in another dimension, there is a beggar who became the emperor.

When Huang Shangshu heard this, he didn't take it seriously. He has studied Tatar for more than half his life:
"The Tatar slaves are different from our dead bonded slaves. Most of the Tatars are common people with humble backgrounds, and many of them can't even write their own names.

Unless there is another reincarnation, it is difficult to have a chance to stand out.

Ordinary and lowly Tatars found a shortcut, which was to serve as slaves to nobles.

Then go to the battlefield to fight for the master, and if he can gain military exploits, he can gradually be promoted to a high-ranking officer or even a general.

At that time, the master is generally too embarrassed to return the slave a free body.

Therefore, there was an incisive saying among the Tatars at that time: If you want to get ahead, be a slave! "

Hei Wa was also extremely surprised when she heard this.

It turned out that the Tatars were not ashamed of being a slave, and it was more of a profession to do it.

Well done, such as the Sultan of Delhi, who can still marry Bai Fumei, take over the power of the old man, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Gao Huaiyu was as shocked as Heiwa, and opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Immediately remembered something, and said:

"The current Delhi Dynasty is also very chaotic. Their recent sultans have not sat on the throne for a long time. Once the family power falls, they will be pulled down."

Who dares to think?Can the throne allow noble families to take turns doing it?
The throne of the Great Xia Dynasty is at best, and a half-brother should be the one.

In the eyes of Daxia people, Jiangshan's surname will be changed, but it means that the dynasty has changed!
"It seems that we can't treat the establishment of diplomatic relations this time as a pledge of eternal love!"

Hei Wa made the final concluding statement. He really didn't want to be informed that the contract was voided within a few days after leaving Tianzhu.

"Uncle is right, let's focus on the present moment."

Huang Shangshu has calmed down now. The current Great Xia Dynasty, whether it is military strength or economic strength, has given them enough confidence.

Speaking of these Tianzhu people, Gao Huaiyu couldn't help complaining when he thought of the news he had inquired about:
"There are a lot of strange things in Tianzhu, and there is another strange thing. Tianzhu, where Master Xuanzang always comes to learn scriptures, now most of them believe in the Great Food Sect! Buddhism is still a minority in Tianzhu."

"Tsk tsk, my two sons called all the way, wanting to learn the scriptures from Tianzhu." Hei Wa could imagine the disappointment and speechlessness of the sons after hearing the news.

"In fact, the Buddhism in Tianzhu is not exactly the same as the Buddhism in Daxia. Master Xuanzang came here to study this difference!"

Speaking of the connection and differences between the two, Huang Shangshu eloquently.

After talking for an entire hour, Heiwa and Gao Huaiyu were completely confused.

In the end, the simple understanding is: the people of Tianzhu believe in living Buddhas, while the people of the Great Xia Dynasty believe that those who practice well can become Buddhas after death!

The reason why the beliefs of the Tianzhu people have changed so much depends entirely on their rulers.

The unity of politics and religion is their philosophy of governing the country.

The Tatar rulers chose Dashijiao as their state religion because they had long believed in this religion in two ancient centers of civilization on their territory—the Bulgarian Volga and Khwarezm.

After figuring out the ins and outs, the Big Three immediately convened a meeting with the ship merchants who came with them.

After the establishment of diplomatic relations, the trade between the two countries is a top priority.

After traveling for nearly two years, the cargo left by the ship merchants is really not much.

When they arrived at this famous spice holy land, they wanted to buy more goods than they could sell.

Like them, there are many Tianzhu people who want to enjoy the trade dividends between the two countries.Their arrival has long attracted the attention of the nobles of the Delhi Dynasty.

In the past, what they did most was to do business with big cannibals. Who would waste an extra choice?Don't they know that the essence of the cannibal is a profiteer?

Most of the forty big family members are also descendants of Tatars. Some of them are afraid of Datang, some admire it, and some are not convinced.

From their sultan, after learning that this group of people was actually the Great Xia Dynasty that replaced Li Tang, they became restless.

Most of the patriarchs of the family were fortunate to have seen the national gift of the Great Xia Dynasty received by the Sultan of Delhi.

Passed around, how can there be a strong sense of reality when you see it with your own eyes?
Just listening to the description in a few words, one knows that the Great Xia Dynasty is richer than the Tang Dynasty!

However, they were able to reach them from the east. It seems that Daxia's shipbuilding technology is not weak, and their navy seems to be quite strong!
