Chapter 655 Formal Westward Expedition
As for the Kazakh grasslands going west, there are various tribes on it, including Persian tribes and already barbaric tribes. As for the Kushan Empire going south, if Sima Ji's memory is not wrong, the child in the cradle of the Persian Empire will now grow up and will have the opportunity to completely destroy the hope of the Kushan Empire and occupy Afghanistan to turn the Kushan Empire into a nominal country.
The Persian Empire is now in the darkness before dawn. When the dawn light reveals its first ray of beauty, the entire Persian Empire will rise slowly and reach the first golden age. However, Sima Ji did not care about this. The Persian Empire was located in a place of besieged on all sides, and the place similar to the Dajin Dynasty was Luoyang.
He did not envy this geographical environment at all, much worse than the Jin Dynasty's nomadic peoples. Because the nomadic people north of the Great Wall could reach Persia within a wider range. Persia also faced the threats of the Hu people faced by the Central Plains dynasty, not to mention that the Roman Empire had to face on the Western Front, so naturally they fought on both sides.
We must draw a conclusion that conforms to the position of the Persian Empire, that is, the position of northern Russia in later generations remains unchanged, India and Southeast Asia are unified into a country with a power similar to the United States, and China's position remains unchanged in the middle in the south of China. This is the dilemma that the Persian Empire has faced for a long time now.
Although the purpose is not pure, the Jin Dynasty and the Persian Empire are not uncooperative on this point. From the Mongolian Plateau to the Caucasus, nomadic peoples are a common threat to both sides. If they can work together in this matter and make some strategic adjustments to some extent, they can eliminate the threat to the two countries from the root.
This is actually quite difficult to operate by the Jin Dynasty alone, because from the Caucasus to the Mongolian Plateau, only half of the places controlled by the Jin Dynasty were within the range that the Persian Empire could reach.
Can the two countries cooperate to completely cut off such a large area of nomadic soil and deal with the nomadic forces they face? Before the later industrial revolution, I, the Qing Dynasty and the Imperial and Russian things were just right.
They each destroyed all the Mongolian Khanate in their own territory, and later there was a conflict and signed the Treaty of Nibchu. When the Treaty of Nibchu was signed, the place was not actually within the territory of the Qing Dynasty, but was controlled by the Mongols. It was the Qing Dynasty and the Imperial Russia who divided the Mongols. The Imperial Russia took advantage of it, but the Qing Dynasty did not suffer any losses at that time, and the only ones who suffered losses were the Mongols. As for the later Emperor Russia taking advantage of the situation, it was another problem.
Some people think that China is at a disadvantage in the Treaty of Nibchu, but they don’t know the time difference. They take it for granted that the Mongols’ land was the land of the Qing Dynasty, just like they think that Junggar was just a small tribe rebellion. In fact, it was the Great Khanate, which occupied half of China and stood together with the Qing Dynasty.
Just like the current relationship between Wusun and Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty now has reason to interfere in the affairs of Wusun, and Wusun King Qiu Lu had no choice but to talk about it. However, strictly speaking, the relationship between Wusun and Jin Dynasty, Wusun is not entirely part of the Great Jin Empire. There are many other statements here.
Sima Ji did not have any bad intentions for Wusun. He had all given the title of King of the Xianbei, and all the 58 Yi generals in Ningzhou were granted the title of marquis, and it would be fine to give Wusun anything. What's more, he had to deal with Persia and let Persia recognize the ownership of the Western Regions, rather than missing the glory of the ancient Persian Empire. He felt that the Western Regions had a Persian tribe that had a Persian language family, and that the problems in the Western Regions were naturally easy to solve since ancient times.
Then the purpose of this Western Expedition is clear. The Jin Dynasty can cooperate with Persia, divide its own territories, and clearly identify the occupation of small countries between the two sides. In the future, we can work together to cut off the exchanges between nomadic forces from the Caucasus to the Mongolian Plateau, and lock down the nomadic forces within the territory of various places to prevent them from growing.
If all this can be achieved, Sima Ji, who is in the Dajin side, has already shown his elite knife skills, curbing the soil for the growth of the Hu people. The Hu people will not be supplemented by the nomadic peoples from the outside world. As long as there is no problem with the policy, there should be no major concerns in the future.
A few days after arriving at the Wusun King Capital, Sima Ji, who had lost interest in exotic customs, changed his remarks to appease the small countries in the Western Regions, revealed his true face, summoned thousands of generals and colluded to announce the true purpose of the journey to the west.
"This world is much bigger than we imagined. There are great powers in the West, and I cannot ignore them. This advancement to the west is not a complete killing, but cultural exchanges with the same level. Although war is essential, you must clarify the purpose. We have sufficient reasons to do so. There is a cauldron of our ancestors in the Persian Empire."
Sima Ji was very lying and told shameless lies. Compared to fooling the kings of the small Western Regions, King Yan was even better at cheating his own people. Many generals and officers of the army were deceived by him since childhood.
"The army is advancing westward, obeying the orders of this king, and following the army and the translator of the King Wusun, we will see a brand new world, a wider world. The king clearly tells you that what you see this trip west will become the most precious property in your life. When you are old and stupid and terminally ill, when you think back to the current scene, it will definitely be worth the vain of your life. You will smile and walk to the end of your life."
"The ordinary people who are ignorant and ignorant, have no such opportunity!" Sima Ji exclaimed at the top of his voice, "The ordinary people don't even hear about the scene you have seen from now on. And I promise that no one or no one is my opponent. Today, I will say modestly, "I, Sima Ji, Sima Qingxuan, Dazai of the Great Jin Dynasty, and King Yan, are invincible in the world. Do you agree?"
"King Yan, the world is invincible!" Thousands of generals and officers pulled their swords out of their sheath and inserted them on the land in front of them, neatly responding to Sima Ji's agitation, "I will follow you to the death."
"Okay, I will lead you from one victory to another. I will definitely live up to your trust. Then..." Sima Ji shook his hand fiercely and pointed to the West, "Walking towards the sunset, who dares to block my king's path? Don't be polite, step out your legs and kick it away."
