The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 404 The old man in the mountains

Torture in the East is not inferior to torture in the West, and it seems to be superior in terms of tricks. Although the few 'Fiday' who were captured alive have received professional training and are not afraid of death, there are still many torturers in the world. Something more terrifying than death, after continuous interrogation, Lu Xiaoyao's guess was confirmed from the captives, that they were the assassins from Mulaiyi.

The captives confessed that they were sent by the leader and divided into two teams to sneak into the Song Dynasty to assassinate the "Khan of the East" in the name of doing business. Through public information, they learned that he was driving in Luoyang. Ambush in the hunting grounds.However, due to the tight defense around the hunting ground, they could not sneak in. In addition, Zhao Tuo only shot two deer before returning to the camp, which made their plan come to nothing.

The assassins who failed in the ambush hid in the forest, preparing to evacuate after dark and find another way, but Zhao Tun unexpectedly appeared at this time and discovered their hiding place, and the battle broke out suddenly.What makes people laugh and cry is that they don't know what the 'Khan of the East' looks like, and they don't even know that the people who confront them have targets to assassinate.There are not many people who have seen the emperor in this era, and the portrait of the "Khan of the East" bought with a lot of money in their hands is too far from Zhao Tong's appearance. No matter how you look at it, Guan Erye wants to shave his beard. Because the heroes in the hearts of the people basically look like this!

After hearing the news of the assassination of the emperor, Li Gang and Chen Yun hurried to Dongdu Garden to greet them. They were relieved to see that the emperor was safe and sound. What is worrying is that in order to ensure the success of the assassination, Mulaiyi sent two groups Assassins, only one group appeared in Lin.The reason for the emperor's assassination could not be found out for a while, but the top priority is to eliminate all the assassins who sneaked into the city.Li Gang immediately set up a temporary headquarters together with the officials in Luoyang, which will preside over the overall situation and launch a comprehensive search, demanding that the assassin be found at any cost to ensure the absolute safety of the emperor.

As a result, the gates of the city, which had not been closed for many years, were locked, and the state army dispatched overnight to block the piers and traffic arteries and set up checkpoints.The focus is on those businessmen from the Western Regions.Every Lizheng also received a notice from the government that any Western Regions people who were found hiding should report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes.

After daybreak, Luoyang City, which was already noisy on weekdays, was filled with terror. The gates of the city were closed, businesses were closed, and the people were ordered to stay at home.Barricades were set up on the street, and cavalry patrolled constantly, as if they were facing an enemy.At this time, the leopard generals of Dongdu Garden also began to enter the garden, forming a horizontal line to squeeze from all sides, combing the entire Dongdu Garden like a grate, searching for assassins who slipped through the net.Zhao Tun returned to the imperial city under the escort of the guards.

Zhao Tun was very helpless at this time, just because of his unexplained assassination, the whole Luoyang city was in chaos, while he was locked up in the imperial city as if under house arrest, and the bedroom he was in was blocked by the inner guards. They were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, gunmen were even placed on the top of the main hall, and Lei Zhenshan, the commander of the guards, was on duty outside the door.Surrounded by two imperial concubines in uniform, no one is allowed to enter the palace without their permission.

Everyone was busy, but Zhao Tun became the most leisurely person, and he also had time to sort out what he knew about Mulaiyi Kingdom in his previous life...

The use of religion to resist the cruel exploitation of the rulers is not uncommon in history. The Zhang Jiao brothers in the Eastern Han Dynasty founded the Taiping Dao, Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty devoted himself to Mingjiao, and Hong Xiuquan worshiped God in the Qing Dynasty.There is also Fangla of the Song Dynasty who used Maitreya to rebel, all using his own followers to rebel.

Similarly, the founding of the Mulayi Kingdom was also initiated by a group of Islamic Shipai Ismaili priests to resist the brutal rule of the Seljuks.They won the support of the general public in northwestern Iran, where they established a semi-government state organization that combines theocracy.Of course, the Seljuks could not tolerate the existence of their own domestic organizations, so they sent troops to encircle and suppress them.However, the rugged terrain of northwestern Iran made repeated attacks by the Seljuks defeated.

The Ismailis thus gained a firm foothold in the area around the Caspian Sea in northern Iran.It has become a powerful separatist force in the Iranian region, fighting against the Seljuk dynasty.The territory occupied by the Mulaiyi people is still quite large, with a width of five hundred miles, mainly concentrated on the mountains on the south bank of the Caspian Sea.Moreover, the fortresses they captured and established were mostly concentrated in the Alborz Mountains, where the mountains are steep and the peaks are continuous. These precipitous places can effectively resist the enemy's attack.The rugged mountains are the stronghold of the separatist forces. Today, like the Mulayi, al-Qaeda is hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan to fight against the Americans.

The Mulayi people have hundreds of larger castles. According to historical records, there are 350 mountain cities belonging to them. The most famous one is the Alamut Fort known as the "Eagle's Nest". After this castle was occupied, it became the activity of the Mulayi people. The base camp and core fortress.They built a stronghold in the mountains and drilled rocks for their houses. The terrain is dangerous, and there is a posture that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.In addition to the dangerous terrain, the castle is also prosperous and rich, "a lot of grain is stored, as well as wine and honey", and there are countless books, classics and archives in the castle.

However, although these Mulaiyi people started by resisting the Seljuks, their resistance did not take a proper way. Like today's al-Qaeda organization, they specialize in terrorist activities, robbery and assassination activities. The big shots in the surrounding area are all living in terror, for fear that if they are not careful, they will become ghosts under the sword of Mulaiyi assassins. It can be said that they are typical terrorists in ancient bases...

Zhao Tong knew that this organization might be the same as most people in the previous life. Through the novel "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" by "Jin Da Da", Xie Xun relayed the description of the historical grievances between the Persian saint Dai Qisi and the Persian Ming Cult, and knew the Persian Ming Cult leader assassination sect The leader of the "Mountain Old Man" Huo Shan.But after Zhao Tong joined the special forces, he learned that this plot was adapted by Jin Da, and it was still different from real people in history.

The prototype of Huoshan is Hassan bin Saba, who created the Ismaili sect.Although this sect was born out of Islam, it is regarded as a heresy by orthodox sects. They not only oppose the mainstream Sunni sect, but are also very different from other sects of Shi sect, so they are basically in a state of secret organization.He himself did not start by assassination and plunder, on the contrary he was mainly a scholar.The scope of activities in the early stage was also mainly in Egypt, rather than robbing merchants in the Persian desert.The initial assassination activities were mainly aimed at political purposes, not money.

After the founding of the country, Hassan fanatically pursued the hidden scriptures of divine revelation, and formulated strict laws and ascetic doctrines.Although he controls the terrorist network that covers the whole country, he is a person who stays at home and concentrates on writing. There are still many Persian works left. Strictly speaking, he is not a martial arts master, but a religious scholar. The first Sheikh and the earliest thinker of the Almaty Sheikh Dynasty.

On the one hand, the Mulaiyi Kingdom relied on the dangerous terrain of the fortress to hold on to it, and on the other hand, it was also carrying out appalling assassinations, so the sect created by Hassan was also called the Assassination Sect.And because Hasanji has always been based in mountainous areas, people also call them "mountain elders" or "mountain elders".His successors who become leaders of the sect must use this name and imitate his posture, so Old Man Shan is not a specific name for a person.

In view of the fact that the territory of the Mulaiyi Kingdom is too fragmented to recruit regular troops, they can only rely on the words of missionaries to expand and defend with the daggers of martyrs.Successive Sheikhs will cultivate fanaticism of some sects into 'Fiday', which means people who sacrifice their lives, and make them a tool for political revenge, murder, intimidation and blackmail, and implement violence against the city-states and neighboring countries under their rule. Terrorist activities.

The "Fidayi" can be said to have opened the "Pandora's Box" of the horror world. Their purpose and methods of action have been poisonous for thousands of years, so that they are regarded as the "Bible" by terrorist organizations in later generations. Even the methods used by today's terrorists, The weapons and objects have changed, but it is not difficult to find the traces handed down by the predecessors of the 'Fiday' from the methods and purposes of their actions.

Those Fidayi elites who are responsible for defending their church members with daggers usually receive rigorous training in advance, including not only the use of various daggers and disguise techniques, but also various trainings in language, trade, customs, and science, so as to successfully integrate into hostile forces. society, close to the monitoring target.Once a tyrannical prince poses a threat to his followers, the lurker will warn the prince: for example, when he wakes up in the morning, he will find a dagger stuck in his pillow.If the warning still doesn't work, execute the beheading operation.

When assassins take actions, they will try their best to avoid unnecessary casualties and cause as bad a social impact as possible.If conditions permit, they will carry out the assassination in a mosque that is crowded with people at noon on Friday. Although the assassin himself is bound to be torn to pieces by the angry guards, it will have a great deterrent effect and the spread of terror in a wide range, so that as many people as possible Feeling stressed and scared.

The sacrifices of the 'Fidayi' predecessors also enabled the assassins of the Mulayi Kingdom to 'be famous forever', and they were respected and imitated by future generations.Of course, it will inevitably become an important content in the research of anti-terrorism organizations in various countries in the world today, hoping to find out methods and countermeasures to eliminate terrorism.These past life studies also made Zhao Tong understand what kind of opponent he was facing.

"In the previous life, I fought with these youngsters in the dark. I didn't expect that I still couldn't get rid of my fate in this era. Could it be that this is the fucking cycle of heaven and justice!" Zhao Tong scratched his head and cursed at God...
