The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 346 Tianzhu
On the first day of the eighth lunar month in Tianshun, it was a sunny day, which was a very good omen!
On such an auspicious day, the old lady of the Duke Cheng'en's mansion disappeared.

She persisted until the end of last year and married Xu Maodong.

I can't hold on until I hold the trumpet.

Xu Maodong, the Duke of Cheng'en, who was twenty years old, officially took power and became the head of the Xu Mansion.

Xia Hongdi looked at a secret fold on the table and turned the ring on his hand: "Well, he is not old, but he is still a smart man. Let's leave it like this in the future for the Xu family."

Manager Cheng lowered his eyebrows and retreated.

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

Dragon Flag, who has seen it?
The residents on the island thought that some big country was coming, and they had a false alarm.

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

More than 500 people were selected and rushed to Delhi with some goods.

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

The eighth Sultan of Delhi, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, was very tall and powerful.

Yellow skin, black hair!
Looking at his face, he has a round face, a larger face, and some Tatar outlines.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was really speaking Tatar.

"The Great Xia Dynasty? Is it the Great Xia Dynasty that replaced Li Tang?" The Sultan of Delhi glanced at the three leaders, and the sense of oppression in his tone came to them.

Minister Huang was cheered up, as he finally had a chance to display his talents.

Tatar is familiar!
"Yes, Mani Sultan (the honorific title for the monarch)! It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty at the end of the Tang Dynasty!" Huang Shangshu was not unable to feel the pressure, but was overwhelmed by the sudden smoothness of the language. .

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

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

The Sultan and his close ministers listened for more than a quarter of an hour without saying a word.

Although Uncle Zhongqin and General Gao couldn't understand Tatar, Huang Shangshu's expression and excitement could be seen.

The two of them looked at each other, not understanding what they were saying.

This interview ended hastily in less than half an hour.

The sultan showed a casual attitude towards the state gift they sent, neither surprised nor displeased.

When everyone returned to the inn where they were staying, Gao Huaiyu pulled Huang Shangshu in confusion: "Sir, is this Sultan a Tatar? Why did he come to Tianzhu to become the emperor?"

Uncle Zhongqin, who had a junior high school degree, was also confused. He didn't learn much about world history at that time.

He only knew that Tianzhu had gone through many dynasties and had been colonized by the British for nearly two hundred years in modern times.

The English pronunciation in the Ah San movie has been ridiculed by Chinese people for many years.

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

It was completely beyond his cognitive scope.

He was arrogant and thought that Daxia could replace the Song Dynasty anyway, and he could not use official history to apply to the present.

Put aside your doubts for the time being and listen to Huang Shangshu's explanation.

"I guess they are the Western Tatars in the north, the descendants of the tribe that was defeated by Xuanzong. However, it has been many years. We are now representing Daxia. Let's see if their sultan wants to join us. Diplomatic relations have been established.”

Don't look at Huang Shangshu looking at Hei Wa and the others, looking like an old god is here.

He couldn't understand the attitude of the Sultan of Delhi, and he was feeling anxious.

But he couldn't show his timidity in front of the other two young people!
Gao Huaiyu said disdainfully: "Haha, the Tang Dynasty was able to beat them to pieces, and our Daxia almost broke through their base. The Tatars are even less popular now!" His biggest regret back then was that he didn't have the opportunity to go to the north. The battlefield.

Huang Shangshu disagreed: "General, be careful what you say! Who knows if they are also familiar with our official dialect!"

Gao Huaiyu had to shut up. He was indeed a little arrogant just now.

Hei Wa usually ignores things he doesn't understand or can't figure out about himself.

To their surprise.

The eighth sultan of Tianzhu actually quickly exchanged credentials with them and formally established diplomatic relations with the Great Xia Dynasty.

During the days of waiting, Hei Wa and Gao Huaiyu were not idle at all.

After asking around in many ways and asking Faisal for a lot of help, we finally pieced together some information about the northern Tianzhu regime:
It turned out that the first founder of this dynasty was a slave from the family of a Tatar tribal leader.

What is inspiring is that this slave is brave and warlike. He has been fighting with his master since he was ten years old.

As the tribe grew stronger, he became the general's slave and married the tribe leader's daughter.

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

He himself won the support of his master's old tribes, 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 Delhi Sultan, he was succeeded by his son-in-law.

The throne has been passed down to this day for the eighth generation.

There were eight sultans, the longest serving was thirty years, and the short term was three or four years.

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

The most recent sultans have been held by families with the strongest military strength.

Currently the Delhi dynasty conquered Northern India, Eastern India and Central India.

To the south of them, there was also a long and ancient Pandya dynasty.

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

After hearing the summary of the news, Gao Huaiyu was shocked and called him a good guy.

"Be good, this lowest slave can turn over and become the master!"

After all, the founding emperor of their Great Xia Dynasty was also a son of a nobleman.

Their royal blood is born with status!

Hei Wa gave General Gao a big look: It's really strange, but he didn't know that in another dimension, there were beggars who became emperors.

When Huang Shangshu heard what General Gao said, he did not laugh at his ignorance.

His own comprehensive research on Tatar has lasted more than half his life:
"Tatar slaves are different from our death-deeded slaves. Ninety-nine percent of Tatars are commoners from humble backgrounds. Many of them can't even write their own names.

Unless they are reincarnated again, most people will have little chance of getting ahead in their lives.

Ordinary and low-level Tatars have found a shortcut, that is, to be slaves to the Tatar nobles, and then they will fight on the battlefield for their masters!
If you can gain military exploits on the battlefield, you can slowly be promoted to a high-ranking officer or even a general.

By that time, their masters are usually embarrassed and do not have the ability to free their slaves.

Therefore, a brilliant saying was popular among the Tatars at that time: If you want to get ahead, become a slave! "
