Wentang

Chapter 74 Arabian Horse
Yue Shan didn't know much about Muhammad, only that he founded Islam.Later, in order to understand the situation of the Persian Governor's Mansion, I learned about his life by the way.

This person's life can only be described as open hanging.

Born in a poor and noble family, he suffered a lot since childhood, and married a rich woman and widow who was 15 years older than him, and successfully turned himself to the pinnacle of life.

But he was not complacent, but began to pursue spiritual satisfaction, and thus began the road to enlightenment.In the end, he really realized it, so there was the Islamic religion.

Naturally, the process of promoting Islam was not so smooth, and he was persecuted by those with vested interests.In the early stage, he was protected by his uncle and his first wife, and when the two died one after another, his life of misery began.

Tortured, persecuted, stoned, etc., almost killed several times.

Later, he was forced to leave his hometown and wander around until he signed a peace agreement with the tribes of Medina with the help of believers in AD 622-623 and obtained his first territory.

Since then, he has used this as a base, gradually expanding his influence and eventually unifying the Arabian Peninsula to eliminate the Sansa Dynasty.

The reason why Yue Shan remembers this time so clearly is that China at this time happened to have just completed the change of dynasty.During this period of time, Datang eliminated all internal warlords and unified the Central Plains.

The two forces separated by thousands of miles actually went to the most glorious path in their respective histories at about the same time.I have to say that this world is really amazing.

That's why he paid special attention and remembered this matter.

At that time, it was purely out of curiosity, but I didn't expect that it would be useful one day.In just a few words, 28 tall and good Arabian horses were exchanged. This business is worthwhile, Yue Shan thought triumphantly.

He didn't see any problem in telling Aziz this news, after all, these things had already happened.Even if he didn't say it, the Prophet still went to Medina and owned his own territory.

Besides, the Arabian Peninsula is thousands of miles away, even if there is any change, it is difficult to affect Datang.

But he didn't know how much impact these few words of his had had on Islam, Arabia, and even the world.

In the original historical track, no one knows about Aziz's subsequent life experiences, but there is no record of him in any books.

However, at this historical juncture, a change has taken place.After Aziz got the news of his hometown, he returned to the Arabian Peninsula with a large number of books, and talked with the Prophet for three days and three nights.Afterwards, he became one of the top leaders of the Islamic religion, and the Prophet would be a half-teacher when he saw him.

He also followed Yue Shan's advice and formed the first regular army belonging to Islam, which played a decisive role in a series of subsequent battles.With this, he also jumped to become the second big man after the Prophet Muhammad.

As a result, the entire history of Islam has gradually become unknowable.

For example, the four major caliphs have become five; the largest faction of Islam has changed from two to three, and the third is called the Aziz faction.

The core idea of ​​this faction is that all Muslims are one family, trying to reconcile the contradictions between the major factions.It is recognized by later generations that this faction is deeply influenced by Chinese culture...

Of course, some things happened that Yue Shan regretted endlessly.

For example, when the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty reached Central Asia and West Asia, they had to face an Arab empire that was stronger than in history.

Of course, these are all things to say, right now Yue Shan is still complacent about having 28 good horses come to him with a few words.

You must know that this is a pure Arabian horse.

It is one of the oldest horse breeds in history, and it was gradually formed after generations of optimization under extremely harsh conditions.Later British thoroughbred horses, Orlov horses, Morgan horses and other excellent horse breeds all have its bloodlines.

This kind of horse is tall and tall, and the adult horse can reach a height of about 150 centimeters and a weight of four to five hundred kilograms.The short-distance running ability is very outstanding, especially suitable for raids and wars.

Compared with the most common Western Region horse (Mongolian horse) in China, it is much inferior in size.

But this is not to say that the Mongolian horse is bad. This horse breed is also selected and bred from the next generation in the harsh environment.And it has been fed in a semi-wild state all the time, and it retains a fierce temperament, daring to fight with wild wolves head-on.

The most typical advantages of Mongolian horses are easy feeding, disease resistance, good endurance, fierce temperament but not frightening, and it is one of the most suitable horse breeds for military horses.Back then, Genghis Khan's cavalry was able to travel half the world because of it.

Arabian horses have the advantages of Arabian horses, and Western Region horses have the characteristics of Western Region horses. What Yue Shan wants to do is to see if these two excellent horse breeds can be crossed to obtain a better horse breed.

If it is really possible to breed a horse with good endurance, fast running speed, strong disease resistance, and easy to raise, then the cavalry of Datang... I feel excited just thinking about it.

However, Yue Shan didn't get excited for long, he was stopped by a black-faced man before he could control the horses out of Chang'an City.

"Yue Shan Yue Cuilan?" The visitor, riding a war horse, asked bluntly.

"It's a certain one, may I ask your Excellency who it is?" Yue Shan asked politely, while also guessing the other party's identity.And there has been some speculation.

"I'm Cheng Zhijie, you should have heard of me, right?" Cheng Yaojin introduced himself carelessly, but kept his eyes on the 28 Arabian horses.

"It's like thunder piercing your ears." Yue Shan secretly said in his heart.

It's because the other party's body shape is too characteristic. As far as he knows, there are only two people who meet this standard in the entire Tang Dynasty.Although he had never seen Yuchi Gong, he had seen Yuchi Baolin.

The big man in front of him has nothing in common with Yuchi Baolin, so Cheng Yaojin is more likely.

Another reason is that Yue Cuilan's name has just been obtained not long ago, so he knows that he must have a lot to do with the Qin Palace.As a result, his name is not yet ready to come out.

"I don't know what the general stopped a certain so-called?" Yue Shan said politely, cupping his hands.

Many people think that Cheng Yaojin is a naive person, but Yue Shan never thinks so.Which of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect is truly kind?
What kind of scheming and means are needed to be a veteran of the three dynasties, with a high position and authority and the trust of the royal family?
The most typical negative example is Yu Chigong, who tied for the first place in the Xuanwumen Change and Changsun Wuji, but it didn't take long before he had to choose to protect himself behind closed doors.From then on, this big boss who was shining before the Xuanwumen change disappeared.

"King Qin asked me to invite you over to the mansion." Cheng Yaojin reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the horse, and carefully looked at Yueshan.

This is the young man who offered Wu Deli, was recognized by the princess as his brother-in-law, and was bestowed by the king of Qin with his name?
