Chapter 20 The Fighting Nation (Part 2)

During this period, the Abbasid Dynasty basically lost control of various places, and the powerful princes ruled over the country. In Central Asia, some descendants of the Parthian nobles established the Saman Dynasty. This is a belief in the Tianfang religion and culture

The above belongs to the Persian regime.

This dynasty was the first attempter for the Persians to establish a regime with the help of the Tianfang Cult. The medieval Persian historians called it the revival of the Persian Empire. They also restored their missionary to the East, trying to expand their influence by this.

.

In the northeast of the Saman Dynasty, it was the Karakhan Dynasty established by some exiles after the disintegration of the Uighur Khanate. At this time, there was a fight for the Khan throne within the Karakhan. It was around 954, that is, Shizong Chai, Later Zhou Dynasty.

During Rong's reign, Satuk, the nephew of the Khan, accepted the persuasion of the Saman missionaries and converted to the Tianfang Sect. With the strong support of the Saman Dynasty, he overthrew his uncle's rule. It is generally believed that this is Turkic.

The beginning of each tribe's acceptance of the Tianfang Sect.

However, the Karakhan turmoil attracted the attention of the Western Regions city of Khotan. Taking advantage of the turmoil, Khotan sent troops to attack the Karakhanate and occupied the eastern capital Shule Town. Since then, the two sides have fought continuously, and the city has changed hands many times.

For the Karakhanate, the situation was quite bad at this time.

In the northeast, it is the Liao Kingdom. In the east, it is the Gaochang Uighurs and Shazhou Guiyi Army regimes. In the southeast, it is the Tubo tribes on the plateau. Now even an oasis city country can gain the upper hand in the battle with itself. These few

I can't afford to offend my position even more.

Always tug-of-war with others in their own capital, this is not a long-term solution. Therefore, the Khanate urgently needs a new direction of development.

Starting from the Turkic Khanate, the previous regimes almost always focused on the East. Even if they were driven to the Western Regions, the ambitious Khan always wanted to fight back.

But after accepting the Tianfang Sect, I gave everyone a new idea - since I believe in other people's teachings, I can definitely join the battle for hegemony in the Tianfang Sect world, why do I have to go to the East to fight for the death?

I can't beat Yutian, can I still beat you?

The enlightened Satuk Khan immediately launched a war against the Saman Dynasty that preached him.

The Saman Dynasty was one of the overlords of the Tianfang Sect world, controlling large areas from the Mesopotamian River Basin in Central Asia to the Persian land. In short, it is very rich.

This war brought Karakhan a lot of benefits, thus forming a path dependence: if the east suffers a loss, there is no need to be afraid, fight the Persians to find compensation, and they will recover soon. The war on the Western Front lasted until 992, Hasan

Bogra Khan invaded Bukhara, the capital of the Saman Dynasty. Since then, the Saman Dynasty began to perish.

It is also because of these achievements that the Karakhanate Kingdom had the confidence to engage in a tug-of-war with Khotan for decades.

The battlefield on the Eastern Front was much more tragic. In order to resist the Western Expedition of Khotan, a large number of adult male members of the Khanate died in battle, including Saman's conquerors, Hassan Bogra Khan himself.

When the war was at its peak, none of Satuk Khan's male grandchildren survived and could only rely on women to take over. Even Hassan's sister was killed by the Khotanites in the war trying to revenge.

However, the resistance of the Karakhanate was still much stronger than that of Khotan. Satuk's great-grandchildren persuaded believers from all over the country to launch an expedition to support themselves. Four Imams led Ghazni and Hualazi to lead Ghazni and

Volunteers recruited by Mo, Baghdad and other places joined the war. This time, they finally successfully counterattacked and attacked the city of Khotan.

Khotan is a city-state. Karakhan could lose his capital several times, but it would be fatal to lose it once. The King of Khotan surrendered and surrendered to the Khanate, and the Yuchi regime ended.

But the winners were unable to enjoy the joy in the end. Some Khotan troops who were unwilling to surrender fled from the city and set up ambush on the road with the support of the Tubo tribes.

The Karakhanate was not prepared and was attacked on the way back. Historians recorded the battle and said with emotion, "The jihadists were killed like an avalanche." In the end, the expeditionary army was wiped out, and four Imams were in complete order.

All were killed in battle.

This kind of victory that both sides suffered losses made the war unsustainable.

Since then, the Karakhanate cooperated with the Song Dynasty to launch several harassment of the Western Xia, but the combat effectiveness of both sides was very limited and no effective results were achieved. As for the Liao Kingdom in the north, the Karakhanate actively joined the other party's tribute system.

Finally, because of obedience, I got the opportunity to marry a princess of the Liao Kingdom who believed in Buddhism.

Karakhan was very proud of this and persuaded other countries in the Tianfang Sect to come and pay tribute together. He even acted as a matchmaker and wanted to introduce the Ghassini Dynasty to come to marry.

In addition to his father-in-law, the Khanate was also very respectful to the Northern Song Dynasty and directly called it "Uncle" in the letter. Obviously, with the support of his father-in-law and uncle, life would be much more peaceful.

But the world of Tianfang Sect can't be at ease.

Karakhan's "new ideas" set a catastrophic precedent. Since then, nomadic tribes that were originally wandering around the Western Regions and Central Asia have followed suit. Everyone no longer goes to the hard scrolls in the east.

During the Tang Dynasty, the iron gate of southern Central Asia blocked several attacks by the Turks. But now, the Persians are powerless. The Turks entered the pass and rush to find opportunities to go south and attack the Persian hinterland.

The Turkic language they used replaced the original Indo-European language in Central Asia. Since then, the Persians have never restored their previous grand occasions. Persian regimes in various places have been gradually eliminated, and the Turkic warlords are rampant and fight for hegemony with each other, causing serious consequences.

Destruction.

Guo Kang didn't know if the Persians would regret it. Why did they have to go to preach and recruit people?

This series of events also had a long-term impact on the world of Tianfang Sect. The Caliph of Baghdad completely became a puppet, and even the Lord of One City could not sit steadily. Over time, a strange system that was somewhat similar to Japan was formed. The powerful Turkic

The warlords would attack Baghdad's "Shangluo" and force the Caliph to appoint himself as the Sultan in order to establish hegemony over the entire Tianfang Sect world.

The Caliph was captured by the warlords every day, and it was very miserable. Some people could not stand the domineering military leaders, and even violated the ancestral teachings and ran away from home. But in the end, they could only accept reality.

The reason for this is actually all caused by the Tang Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom by accident.

People in later generations may not have heard of these unpopular history. But in Guo Kang's era, these are all issues that are closely related to many people.

Not to mention anything else, if he gave a Persian peddler who understood history, he was actually a very peaceful person, always gentle and weak, and had a very naughty combat power. Then the other party would probably think he was sarcastic and would make him angry
