Chapter 435: The Persian Legion

"Gong Li, the morale of your department is not high!"

Yang Feng sat on the horse, looking at the Persian soldiers lined up next to him, and said to the commander of this Persian army, the prince of Longxi County of the Tang Dynasty, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and the general of Zuo Wuwei, Li Yi.

This General Lee was a Persian.

It is said that the ancestors once produced a Persian queen.

Of course, I don't know if it's true or not!

After the destruction of Persia, the Great Eclipse adopted brutal oppression of Persia and adopted a hierarchical system, the Great Cannibal was naturally the first class, and the converted Persians called the Mavari were the second class, maintaining the Zoroastrian faith, but the Persians who made the tame contract called Dimi the third class, and Dimi was on the same level as slaves and livestock. They couldn't even walk side by side with the cannibals, and if a Persian met a cannibal on horseback, they had to dismount and give their horses to the cannibal, and at the same time destroy the Persian palaces and cities, melt down their artworks, forbid the Persian language, and slaughter all those who insisted on speaking it......

This oppression led to a massive revolt by the Persians in the early days, albeit in a different way.

Some simply convert and then rebel within the realm of the Great Food Faith.

For example, Abu. Wood sirling forest.

He was the Persian slave, and his Khorasan legions were the Persians who had eaten the Great Persians.

And the real big cannibal has become a waste, and the combat effectiveness is on the same level as the modern princes.

Although these barbarians from the desert desperately tried to destroy the ancient Persian civilization, they were in fact quickly overturned by the light of the latter, after all, they really had nothing to be proud of before, they were just a bunch of barbarians tempered by hard life in the arid and barren wasteland. When they suddenly came to the banks of the rich Euphrates, stood in front of the ancient city of Natesiphon, and looked up at the hundred-foot-high arch, their barbarian glory was shattered in an instant, and then they, like the Eight Banners who entered the customs, quickly lost their minions under the glorious Persian civilization and superior life.

Then the Persians re-emerged.

Ebu. Marked by the success of the Musilin, these Persians re-emerged as rebels, and then used the internal fighting of the Great Cannibals to help the Hashemite family defeat the Umayyad family, and turned into a warlord who dominated Khorasan and even controlled the political situation of the Great Food.

And they actually succeeded.

Because despite Abu. Mu Si Lin was originally killed in this year of history, but the military of the Great Food Empire was completely in the hands of the Khorasan Legion, and in the following decades, one by one the generals or warlords of the Persian people rose, and the Abbasid Empire, like the Tang Dynasty in the East, continued to weaken in these battles of proud soldiers. Finally, sixty years later, the Abbasid general Tahir the Persian of Khorasan divided the land of eastern Persia and western Afghanistan to establish the Tahir dynasty, and Central Asia became the territory of the Samanid family, the descendants of the Sassanid dynasty of Persia, and even in the tenth century, even the southwestern part of Persia and the northeastern part of Iraq were controlled by the Bouwehi dynasty, which was also a Persian.

The emperor of the Great Food Empire could only hide in the Eternal Palace in Baghdad, waiting for the trampling of the Mongol iron hoof.

It can be said that the Persians completely recaptured the land that belonged to them, and of course, what they paid was a change of faith.

And there is another category of Persians.

They chose to resist to the end and fled their homeland after defeat.

Li Yi is this kind of person.

Regardless of whether he is a Persian nobleman or not, it is certain that he is one of the parts that has been resisting the Great Food, and after the defeat, he was very clever to flee to the Tang Dynasty in the form of tribute, and called himself the messenger of the Persian king, this Persian king is probably made up by himself, because the Persian king he said is said to be in the western part of the Persian plateau, where it has already fallen for more than half a century, but Li Longji will not know this, out of the happiness of the coming dynasty of all countries, Li Longji made him an official knight, and let his family live a superior life in the Tang Dynasty, Originally, they could live comfortably like this forever, and his sons and grandsons would become Tang officials.

But it's a pity that Yang Feng ended all this.

Not only his, but also those Persians who are also comfortable living a stable life in the Tang Dynasty.

He doesn't care, after all, if he succeeds, he will get a lot, he will get a country in power by himself, but for these ordinary Persians who make up the Persian army, such a result is very tearless, they live comfortably in the Tang Dynasty, and many people have even lived for decades, and they have long forgotten their homeland. Besides, even if it is the homeland, how can this ghost place be as rich and prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, especially since most of these guys live in Luoyang, Chang'an, and they are suddenly pulled by the strong men, which is tantamount to those soldiers of the United States who were thrown directly from the New York bar to the Kandahar battlefield, so it is strange that the morale can be good!

Not to mention that they also had to bear the military expenses for the restoration of the Persian king.

Their families in Datang have to pay an additional capitation donation at the same time as paying Datang taxes.

Well, the name was given by Yang Feng.

In short, these Persians needed to pay their own money to supply themselves for the war, and after the money changed hands layer by layer, less than half of it actually went into their hands.

But they have no reason to resist!

"Don't they have the joy of returning to their homeland and the excitement of revenge? As the Persians, the Great Cannibals had invaded the land of their ancestors, killed their relatives, driven them out of their homes, driven them thousands of miles away to a foreign land, and now they had returned, they had returned as avengers, and then they had used their swords to cut off the heads of their enemies, and regained their lands under the light of the flames. But why can't I see it on their faces? Even the Sogdians were cheering, even the Tocharians and the Turgish were cheering, why weren't they, as Persians, cheered? ”

Yang Feng said incomprehensibly.

"Well, Champion Hou, the parents, wives and children of these soldiers are all in Datang, they just miss their relatives too much."

Li Yi said embarrassedly.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home? As a Persian man, the big food is destroyed, why is the home? Compared with national hatred and family hatred, shouldn't the love of children be put aside for the time being? Cheer up, do you have to bring your family to come? ”

Yang Feng immediately shouted.

The Persian soldiers struck suddenly, and all of them raised their heads as fast as they could.

"Tell me, what are you here for?"

Yang Feng then shouted.

The Persian soldiers were at a loss.

"Take revenge, kill the great cannibals, and take back our homeland!"

Li Yi hurriedly shouted.

"Kill the big cannibal and take back your homeland!"

The soldiers shouted in a sparse voice.

"No, that's not right!"

Yang Feng suddenly said with a smile.

"You are not only here to take revenge and take back your homeland, you are here to make a fortune, those great cannibals have robbed all the riches of Persia, they have robbed Ctesiphon of mountains of gold and silver, they have cut off the jewels of your palaces, they have melted down your gods, and all the great cannibals' homes are full of gold, silver, gems and pearls. It's all yours, they've robbed you, and now what you're going to do is to get these treasures back, and you're going to rob them of their money, and they're going to rob their women, and they're all that they're all about. Look at these people, look at these Sogdians, Tocharians, Turgishes, they're all here to do this, they're all waiting for that moment of revelry, and then are you willing to be left behind and give them all this? ”

Yang Feng roared.

"I don't want to!"

A Persian soldier shouted with a tremor of excitement.

"I don't want to!"

"Revenge, kill the big cannibals, and get our money and women back!"

……

Then countless Persian soldiers let out an excited roar.

"Yes, that's what it looks like!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

At this time, dozens of cavalry rode horses in front of him, but to his surprise, the horses were actually all women, led by a rather beautiful Persian girl, wearing bright silver-plated armor, holding a horse in her hand, and a red cloak hunting behind her, looking heroic, especially the armor had a unique flavor when worn on the body, and Yang Feng's eyes lit up instantly.

"Who is this?"

He turned his head and asked Li Yi.

"This is the sister of the king of the country, the saint gave the name Li Ying'e, since childhood with the ambition of recovering the country, because my clan is too few, so I led a team of female soldiers to accompany me."

Li Yi said.

"Women don't let me shave my eyebrows!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

This is very normal, after all, the number of Persians in the Tang Dynasty is limited, and since the Aro family has won the position of Persian king, it is natural to go all out to fight for it, and the men in the family are not sure that women will also go up, especially if they can seize a piece of land in Persia next, then how to control this land also needs the hands of cronies, in fact, the entire Aro family except for the old, weak, sick and disabled and children, both men and women who are active follow their kings, and the women of the upper echelons of the Sassanid Dynasty have a tradition of interfering in politics, There are even special female soldiers, and there have been two generations of queens, and in this special period, the women of the Aro family are naturally duty-bound.

As he spoke, Li Ying'e took the war horse in front of him, and then stepped forward and saluted: "Li Ying'e, the general of the Persian Praetorian Guard, has seen the champion Hou!" ”

Yang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"General Li really has the demeanor of Princess Pingyang Zhao!"

He said with his arms around Li Ying'e.

At the same time, the two looked at each other, and Li Ying'e's pretty face showed a hint of shyness, but that gaze did not dodge at all, but met his gaze without flinching.

"Jie Shuai, the king of the kingdom is waiting for the general!"

Then she said.

As he spoke, he pulled out his arms from Yang Feng's hands.

"Then, then don't keep the king waiting!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.
