Chapter 1230. Hook up Egypt
"Lone believes that the sincere truth between heaven and earth comes from the fear of the Lord!"
In the Tang Dynasty, there are dozens of kings with the same surname, and in Damin, there are few who are qualified to call lonely, even Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, does not dare to call himself lonely after fleeing, and can call himself lonely here, except for Li Jie, that is, Li Rang, the king of Hezhong County. novel
At this time, Li Rang's attire had a new change, he was also wearing an Arabic-style turban, and he was wearing an Arabic plain white silk robe.
A few years ago, Anna's greatest achievement in religion was to convert the eldest son of King Min into Christianity, which is why Anna tried her best to help him, but now, looking at Li Rang's pure Islamic head, a strong sense of frustration made Anna bite her lips and lose her blood.
The smile on the corner of Li Jie's mouth is even richer, every word and deed of politicians has its own unique purpose, Li Jie is not an idle egg, so much trouble to gather all the representatives of various sects in the country together, naturally has its own unique purpose, Li Rang's appearance is one of the important purposes.
Although Mesopotamia is now stable, Li Rang's expansion activities in the northeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula are also going smoothly, and in Yemen, the Yemeni caliph canonized by the Great Min is even more conscientious to quell the rebellion for the Great Min and spread the Chinese culture, but the vast Middle East is still the most Islamic.
If Islam is not grasped well, the rule of the Great Min will still be like a mirror, hanging in the air and without a foundation, so Li Jie actively supported the imams to translate the classics, and this time he pushed Li Rangdu out and made him the spokesperson of Islam in the Great Min.
With Li Rang as the foundation, Damin has definitely taken another big step forward in competing for the legitimacy of West Asia.
The result of the debate is actually not important, it is enough to have such a signal, after Li Rang appeared on the stage, Li Jie obviously noticed that many desert clan leaders who came to watch and listen to the scriptures nodded secretly, and their eyes bloomed with brilliance, but just when Li Jie was secretly proud, there was another sharp pain in his arm.
Turning his head in astonishment, he saw the Byzantine princess crowded beside him looking at the sky at forty-five degrees, his small mouth was lightly pouted, and he rolled his eyes in a classic way, Li Jie couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and it is estimated that the Byzantine chick's bed will not be able to go up these days.
Religion can really stimulate people's infinite spirit and potential, maybe the five-dimensional space in Einstein's theory of relativity is really pure, and people's senses and spirit occupy one dimension, and in the evening, even Li Jie is boring and secretly yawns, but the senior monks and pastors on the stage are still as excited as ever, around the core soul of people, and even the more the debate becomes, the more intense they are, and they are all angry and excited.
The uncovered conference is normal, but it will be held for seven days and seven nights, and the political goal has been achieved, Li Jie does not have so much time and experience to spend here, so he quietly slipped away with the concubine who had been arguing for a day, leaving only the golden throne half a foot higher than the debate platform to symbolize the supreme authority of King Min.
There is no need to bathe and fast, and when he returned to the harem, Li Jie, who had not closed his eyes for several days to plan this uncovered meeting, hurriedly finished a light meal, and hurried back to the dormitory, planning to rest for a night.
didn't wait for him to fall asleep and close his eyes, Zampu hurriedly broke in again, bringing a news that made Li Jie excited.
There was really Cao Cao's attitude of greeting Jiang Gan, just wearing a nightgown, Li Jie hurried to the imperial study, where an old Arab man wearing a large ruby silk scarf and a robe embroidered with delicate patterns was also embroidered and bowed to the ground in a hurry.
"The old minister Qi Yade knocks on the King of Damin!"
The former Kufa Sultan is now no longer the prestige momentum of the original dominance, or Ziyad is not a heroic figure like Mu'awiyya at all, since he was held hostage by Saladin and forced to surrender to Damin, the only survivor of the four major political geniuses of the Arab Empire has been honest and low-key for a long time, and even his Kufa army mutinied, he did not come forward, but honestly shrank in Ctesiphon's apartment, and let Damin eradicate his power.
However, gold is gold in the end, a while ago, after seeing that Damin gave up the autumn and winter offensive and turned to Su Dingfang to lead a small force to attack and harass the war, seeing the opportunity coming, this old man asked Li Jie for his life to go out of the mountain, and today he just came back from an errand.
Seeing Qi Yade's dusty saluting appearance, Li Jie hurriedly waved his hand anxiously and said, "No courtesy!"
"How did the Egyptian Fatima reply?"
Seeing Li Jie's urgency, Qi Yade's wrinkled old face showed a rich smile of victory.
"Returning to Your Majesty, General Fatima has promised to sell 300,000 stone of wheat to Damin, and has sent an envoy to arrive at Ctesiphon, after the end of the Wusha Conference, he should meet the King of Min!"
"Good!"
Hearing the news, Li Jie couldn't help but slap the table with sincerity, and said.
Contact Egypt, and the reason why Li Jie held this uncovered conference, the reason is very simple, like Hussein, Li Jie is also short of food, spring ploughing was disrupted by Hussein and the Byzantine army, to feed the army and people on the Mesopotamian plain, but there is a shortage of more than 900,000 stone of grain!
And what Hussein is counting on is the same, Egypt produces grain!
Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations, the annual flooding of the Nile River has brought fertile land to Egypt, both in the era of Roman rule and Arab rule, it was an important grain-producing province, and Egypt and Min have a closer relationship than other Arab empire provinces.
Liu Renliang's naval base camp and the Suez Canal are just on the edge of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, and the connection with Mecca is cut off by the Suez Canal.
The purpose of this unveiled conference is to include Islam in the ranks of the Min faith and to lay a political foundation for winning over the upper echelons of Egypt.
The recent turmoil in Egypt also gave the Great Min a chance, the original Egyptian caliph Faisal was Hou Jie's henchman, but after Hou Jie "died", Faisal completely fell to Hussein, and exported grain every year in exchange for Mecca to support his rule in Egypt, but Faisal was rude and brutal, unpopular in Egypt, so the general Fatima under the command of the Egyptian governor Amur began to lead the army to rebel.
Hussein supported Faisal, which naturally offended Fatima, who was promoted by Ziad at the beginning, and seeing the food crisis in Damin, Qiyad, who had already considered the way back, volunteered to go to Egypt to contact Fatima, and really let him make achievements.
With 300,000 stone wheat, the logistics supply of Damin is easy again, and what makes Li Jie particularly excited is that he has come into contact with three of the four ancient civilizations, and the last one is also a welcoming smile to Damin, this meaning is also very special for Li Jie himself, and after turning around a few circles excitedly, Li Jie slapped the table again.
"Deliver a message to Honglu Temple! The hospitality specifications of the Egyptian envoys are treated with the treatment of the country, and let Honglu Siqing receive them in person! ”
"And Qi Yade Qi Lao, this time you have made a great contribution to my Damin! The widow will definitely reuse you! ”
Seeing Li Jie's solemn assurance, the old Arab man with a gray beard also showed an expression of ecstasy, and bowed heavily to the ground.
This time the Egyptian thing was a wish, solved the big problem and dug the corner of the opponent's wall, out of the imperial study, Li Jie was still a little fluttering, and Li Jie did not return to the dormitory in excitement, but turned his head and rushed to the nearest concubine's dormitory.
At this time, in Anna's Dade Temple, a "loving mother training child" was going on.
"Oops, tap, little aunt, my ears are going to fall off!"
Li Rang, who has been in power for a long time, has not been so embarrassed for a long time, he was recruited to the Dade Hall just after the debate, and he just knelt down to meet and was grabbed by Anna's ears involuntarily, Li let Anna help him a lot when he was at a low point in his life, such a little mother was furious, even if he was the king of Hezhong, he didn't dare to resist, so he could only scream and beg for mercy.
Until now, she has not lost her anger, but Anna is still frowning and cold, and she snorted angrily: "Now I know that it hurts, say!" Why turn away from Christ and believe in Allah, a false god? ”
"Yes, it was made by the eldest father!" Covering his ears, Li Rang begged for mercy with great sadness: "The eldest father said, Lone still has the responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the royal family, there are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen, Christianity can only marry one lady, how can it strengthen the royal family?" It is still a good doctrine for Islam to marry four wives to compound the feelings of the people of Damin. ”
Today, seeing that Li Rang's teachings on Islam are all narrated in Tang language, Anna never thought that her Christianity would be defeated by such an obscene reason, and she was stunned for a moment, and the Byzantine princess couldn't help but grit her teeth and screamed: "King Min, don't teach your children to order good, don't let this princess see you, this princess ......"
Muttering in his native Latin language, it is estimated that it is not a good word, Anna's two little hands are still pinching something in the void, and Li Rang, who is watching, is covering his ears and sweating coldly, but at this moment, a light but majestic voice suddenly came from outside the palace.
"What should you do when you see a widow?"
Seeing Li Jie wandering in in a nightgown, with a lewd smile on his face, Li Rang, who was surging in cold sweat, hurriedly bowed to the ground and called his father, and Anna, who had been scared by Li Jie, had a frozen expression on her face, and after a while, it turned into a fake smile.
"That, that concubine said that His Majesty King Min has been working on state affairs recently, and he wants to massage His Majesty's back!"
"That's okay, it's just that the widow is free, let's go, you can step down! The widow wants to discuss the massage with your Aunt Anna! ”
――――
Covered with cold sweat, he withdrew from the Dade Hall with his head down, and just arrived outside the palace gate, the faint sound of "massage" in the dormitory had already come out, and he could vaguely identify that it was Aunt Anna, who had just made a big move, and listened to it in astonishment for a while.
"It's still the eldest father who is right, and sure enough, the teachings of Islam are even better!"
"What the king of the river said is very true!"
Li Rang had just finished talking to himself, and he was startled again by a cold sound, and turned around in surprise, but it was an old Arab man wearing a big ruby on his turban who happened to pass by the gate of the Dade Palace, heard the voice, and bowed inward.
"Old man Qi Yade, meet the king of the river county!"
