After all, the king of Min did not enter the city of Mecca.

At the gate of the city, after accepting the solemn worship of Gamal and Abdul and others as vassals again, and recognizing the suzerainty of the Great Min over the Arabian Peninsula, Li Jie declined the invitation of Sharif, the elder of the Haram al-Haram Mosque, to visit the Kaaba, and only sent Li Rang, who had converted to the Blue Religion, to visit the shrine on his behalf, and then the 120,000 Min troops quickly withdrew from the Mecca Valley and settled down in the flat land outside the valley.

Thousands of elite Guanning iron horsemen couldn't even survive overnight, and advanced rapidly to the southwest overnight.

In the next two days, the religious chiefs and tribal chiefs of Mecca frequently visited the palace of the Min king, but Li Jie only perfunctory each time, and did not make the slightest substantial progress in the political situation of the entire Arabian Peninsula after the war, and the rights and obligations of these elders, chiefs, and old nobles in the new dynasty, as well as the Hejaz negotiations on the worship and taxation of the Min king.

Knowing that two days later, more than 1,000 Guanning iron horsemen who had gone to escort five Bedouin chiefs near Medina, as well as hundreds of Bedouin riders, came back in a mighty manner, and the tense atmosphere was eased somewhat.

Looking at Guan Ning's Tieqi Zuo Lang's recital of Song Yi, Li Jie was really a little crying and laughing.

It is no wonder that Min is so nervous, although it is the Min army that is approaching the city of Mecca and making an alliance with the Arabs under the city, but after all, it is Li Jie who leads this army to go deep alone, just when the elders of Mecca invited him into the city, there is news behind him that the supply convoy of the Min army from Suez was ambushed by the Arabs, which Li Jie would be strange if he was not suspicious.

However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry sent to the rear to reconnoitre, only to figure out that this ambush really had nothing to do with Mecca.

This has to start with the political system of the Arab Empire, which is different from China's unified feudal system, the Arab feudal system is more thorough, Mecca is nominally the leader of all Arab tribes, in fact, the chiefs of each tribe still maintain considerable power, control their own clan land and army, the smaller ones dominate a community, and the larger ones such as Gamar, Abdul, etc. are like a small country.

It was the chiefs of so many places who plundered the supply convoy of the Min army, and these guys had never participated in the battle of the Yarmouk River, and they didn't know the Min army, when the Guanning Iron Cavalry found these guys, these people were still happy to rob other merchants passing by on the road, and Song Yi was not polite to see this, anyway, the king of Min was the co-owner of the Arabs, showing his identity, and in the name of Mecca, he entangled the Arab cavalry of thousands of other clans nearby, and a charge ended these five clans, They were then escorted to Mecca.

Finally relaxed, Li Jie closed the chapter, handed it to the palace people next to him, the palace people held it with a wooden plate, and returned it to Song Yi, the Zhonglang general who was still kneeling in front of the emperor.

"Clean your hands and feet, dispose of these uneyed ones, and don't make too much noise."

has adapted to the high power, killing hundreds of Arabs, Li Jie has not blinked an eye, this will be an opportunity for Da Min to extend his political tentacles to Mecca, and he will not be able to influence the result of ten years of hard fighting for a few Arab tribes.

However, Song Yi, who received the order, did not go down, but hesitated, kneeling there without moving.

Today is in a good mood, Li Jie leaned forward slightly and asked, "What?" Anything else? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, these tribal chieftains have robbed my Fujian logistics and supplies, of course, damn it, but they are not the only ones who have robbed our Fujian army and merchants, almost, almost ......"

Looking at Li Jie's gaze that began to become solemn, he gritted his teeth, and Song Yi continued to speak aloud.

"Almost out of the port of Suez, every caravan was plundered, some were directly attacked, some did a good job and sent people to extort, some tribes also fought because of the right to extort a caravan, the chambers of commerce in Suez responded to the call of the king of Min to do business in the Hejaz, but if this situation continues, the trade route cannot be expanded, I am afraid that there is no difference between Min and not conquering the Arabian Peninsula!"

I didn't expect that a little Zhonglang under his command would have such an opinion, listening to his narration, Li Jie's face couldn't help but become grim, and after a deep groan, Li Jie nodded heavily.

"The widow will deal with it, go down! Deal with these few eye-opening ones first, don't fall into my majesty! ”

"Whoa!"

General Zhonglang took the order to go, watching his figure, but Li Jie casually pulled out a copy of the works of the early Arab poet Gutomi in the Umayyad era, in order to defeat the Arab Empire, the scholars of Damin also translated many Arab classics, this is one of them.

Turning the page, Li Jie recited the poem that he thought most thoroughly explained the Arabs of this era.

"We make it a profession to rob, to rob our enemies and neighbors. If there is no one for us to plunder, we will plunder our own brothers! ”

…………

Over the next few days, the negotiations with Mecca quickly picked up, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Damin and the officials of the Honglu Monastery were equally diligent as ants in traveling through the city of Mecca, meeting with the important chiefs and elders one by one.

On January 20, the 5th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the "Mecca Agreement", which influenced later generations for hundreds of years, was signed on a platform not far from the cave of the Prophet Muhammad on Mount Hill outside the city of Mecca.

First, first of all, all the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula officially recognized the king of Min as the co-ruler, and Li Jie and his descendants had the obligation to demand the loyalty of the chiefs of the tribes, follow the expedition, and pay tribute.

Relatively speaking, Li Jie and the Great Min also had the obligation to protect Mecca and protect Arabia, and when the Arabian Peninsula was invaded, the King of Min and his descendants were also obliged to send troops to help.

Second, the king of Min has the right to mediate the contradictions between the various ministries and divide the land and pastures, and the ministries need to obey the mediation of the king of Min, but the king of Min has no right to intervene in the disputes and laws within the various ministries.

This article sounds incomprehensible to many Fujian officials, in the Chinese point of view, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land, it is not the king's ministers, where is there a king who can't control the ministers, but Li Jie, who is familiar with the layers of feudalism in the West, the vassal of my vassals, not my vassals, and this kind of political relationship, reluctantly agreed.

The rest are small details, such as how much each tribe pays every year, how many times should be paid, and the king of Min conquers Yunyun, and finally Li Jie agreed in a daze, and gave a large amount of money to Mecca to repair the Forbidden Temple in Mecca.

Within a hundred years, countless Arabs set foot in Tianzhu, Fujian, and even Chang'an in the Central Plains as vassals of Fujian.

However, on the way out of the Arabian Peninsula with this agreement, Li Jie was not happy at all, along the way, looking at the fierce Arabs fighting with the caravan guards, as well as the thin Arab women and children in the villages or tribes along the way, Li Jie turned back from the mobile palace window with a headache, and complained to Yang Xinyi, who was peeling fruit for him.

"How does it feel like a burden on your back?"
