Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2847 Chaos in the West
Today is cloudy, light snow is falling, and the light in the side hall is a bit dim.

Fang Junmai stepped into the side hall, and saw a tall fan sitting on a chair in the hall. Seeing him coming in, he quickly got up and went forward to greet him.

The man bowed his upper body, put one hand on his chest, and said in his mouth: "Gadil, the prophet's servant, has seen the most honorable nobleman in the Tang Dynasty."

Dashi, that is, the Arab Empire...

Fang Jun had seen this kind of custom before, so he smiled, and felt that this person's name was more familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he sat down on the main seat, smiled and waved his hands, and said: "One step is not far away. Come here from thousands of miles, don't be bound by such common etiquette, please sit down quickly. But listening to your tone, could it be that we used to be old acquaintances? Please forgive me for being rude, I really can't remember when we met."

At this time, that person raised his head, wearing a peaked and folded-brimmed hat, a long rough and tired face full of dust, deep eyes, high nose, full sideburns, wearing a right-leather jacket with a belt in the waist, and high boots, He said with a somewhat excited expression, "Don't you remember me, Commander? Above the East China Sea, my little master was captured by pirates and his life was hanging by a thread. The Commander dispatched the navy to destroy the pirates' lair before he escaped danger. I am Gadir!" "

When he said this, Fang Jun's mind brightened for a while, and then he remembered the old things, and said pleasantly: "Remember, you still wanted to deceive me and pretend to be your little master to negotiate with me, but I saw through the scheme and got your chart, haha!"

This person was the Arab Ghadir who was attacked by pirates after the entire fleet was hit by a hurricane in the East China Sea, and even the young master was captured by pirates.

Gadir was also very excited: "It's me, it's me!"

He was a little proud to be able to let this nobleman of the Tang Dynasty remember.The territory of the Arab Empire is vast, extending all the way to the Western Regions, and it has a lot of contacts with the Turkic people. It is known from the Turkic population that this Tang nobleman led an army deep into the extremely cold north and will occupy the Turkic people. The Xueyantuo people in the territory were destroyed.

This is the invincible commander who conquered a country!
Although he didn't know the strength of Xue Yantuo, the Arabs and the Turks broke out wars from time to time. The Arab warriors who boasted of being brave and good at fighting suffered a lot under the hands of the Turks, and the Arabs were once again occupied by the Xue Yantuo. The land of reproduction, and Xue Yantuo was destroyed by Fang Jun. If you calculate the combat effectiveness between these two, you can know how capable Fang Jun is.

Although this is not accurate, it does not hinder his admiration...

Since he was an old friend, Fang Jun didn't put on any airs, ordered someone to serve tea, and then sat down Gadir, and asked: "Before, there were letters from your master from time to time, and there were some small gifts and so on, but it's just since last year. There has been no news for a while, and even the trade between the two countries has almost stopped, I wonder if something happened in your country?"

Ghadir's little master, Hussein, lived in Datang for a while after being rescued by Fang Jun.At that time, it was claimed that it was because of the unstable political situation in the country that they came to the east with the caravan to avoid disasters. However, later on, trade between the two countries occurred. The Tang Dynasty exchanged armor and thunder for war horses from the Arab Empire. It lasted for a while. Now The officials of the Taipu Temple have selected many horse farms across the country to breed Arabian war horses, hoping to breed high-quality war horses with better breeds and more suitable for the environment of the Tang Dynasty.

But for some reason, this trade suddenly stopped...

Gaidilton was full of grief, and wept: "There was a rebellion, and the Ottoman caliph was assassinated. Now the Arabian caliph is the robber Ali. He is the son-in-law of Muhammad, the founder of the Arab empire, and has unparalleled prestige and power. Osman’s cousin, the governor of Damascus, Muawiyah, then showed Osman’s bloody clothes in Damascus, claiming that he would avenge Osman, but we know that he is also an ambitious man, not to mention that his current strength is not enough to counterattack the holy city of Medina Then, even if he really kills Ali one day, he will sit on the throne of Caliph himself, and Uthman's sons, my master Hassan and Hussein the younger, will all be targeted by him."

Fang Jun frowned and listened carefully, and finally managed to figure out the context.

I can't help but sigh with emotion, all the struggles involving political power in ancient and modern China and abroad all have widespread and far-reaching influence...

Fang Jun asked only after Ghadir hung his head and wiped his tears, "So, you are the servant of the Ottoman Caliph, and his sons Hassan and Hussein are your masters?"

Gadir nodded.

Fang Jun was puzzled and said: "To be honest, we are friends, and Datang is willing to punish those perfidious, disobedient and lord murderers for the sake of justice in the world, but you also know that Datang is far away from Dashi? "

Ghadir said: "Thank you for your support, but we don't dare to expect too much. My master is now exiled in Muscat with his followers. Facing Ali's persecution and pursuit, we urgently need Help from the outside world. So just here, I implore Datang to increase the trading volume of armor, weapons and thunder, and my master will use more spices and war horses to join the trade."

In the entire Arab world, no one rebelled against Ali, so the descendants of the Ottoman Caliphate can only hope that the distant Tang Dynasty can continue to trade with them, so that they can continuously obtain solid armor and powerful thunder. Be able to fight Ali for a long time.

And this is completely acceptable to Fang Jun. After all, a divided Arab world with constant wars is extremely beneficial to Datang.

Fang Jun nodded and said: "My friend, our friendship is firm and pure. I would like to see little Hussein be able to defeat the enemy and regain his father's inheritance. I will report this matter to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and he will Come to decide, but please rest assured, I will try my best to fight for you. But there is one thing, please know that in the spring of next year, Datang will pour all the power of the country into a national war. At this time, there is no energy to take care of others , so within this period, the scale of the transaction may be limited, because Datang cannot send so many fleets to Arabia."

Gadir was a little frustrated, but he didn't dare to be too harsh if he wanted anything from others. Could it be that he stopped fighting and came to help you?

"As long as we can continue to trade, it will be a great help to us. The Hassim family will always remember the kindness of your Excellency and Datang. Now that Hassan and Hussein are in exile in Muscat, there are still many Arab tribes and The people support it, so sooner or later there will be more caliphs.”

Fang Jun smiled politely and said a few words of encouragement.

In fact, he remembered the history of the Arab Empire. The Ottoman branch had been in decline since then. Even Ali had only been the caliphate for more than ten years before Muawiyah launched a mutiny and took the caliphate away. Moved the capital of the Arab Empire from Medina to Damascus.

But he naturally doesn't care about these. Datang needs to get Arabian spices and war horses from trade, and at the same time support the descendants of Ottomans to fight against the Caliph of Medina, so that the Arab Empire cannot complete the unification faster. This is enough.

In history, after the Arab Empire eliminated its internal conflicts, the army pointed directly to the east, fought against the Tang Dynasty in Hengros, and defeated the Datang army with limited numbers, insufficient supplies, and betrayed by the allied forces.

Although the Battle of Constant Ross did not affect the situation of the two countries at that time, and the Western Regions were still under the control of the Tang Dynasty, it was a very morale-boosting war for the Arab Empire.

Gadir took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Fang Jun and said, "This is a letter from Hussein, please read it."

As a result, Fang Jun tore off the sealant on the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. There were neat Chinese characters on it, which were obviously dictated by Hussein the Younger, and Gadir was in charge of recording. The level of this "Da Tang Tong" is quite good.

In the letter, Little Hussein expressed his longing for the far east, and also said that his family has suffered drastic changes, and now he is in exile. He implores his friends in the east to support him. The Hashemite family Will never forget.

Then at the end of the letter, the boy mentioned Yu Mingxue, saying that he missed that pure and beautiful girl like an angel very much, and asked Gadir to bring him a gift, hoping that she would be happy forever...

Fang Jun was speechless, this little bastard is actually a love saint, his family is ruined, and he is still thinking about picking up girls.

But he himself seemed to have not seen Yu Mingxue for a long time, and that girl didn't know where she went...
