Chapter 667: History of King Yan

"Just understand!" Sima Ji gave encouragement, but he avoided talking about some generals who wanted to go to the Yuezhi people. The Kushan and even the real Indian cultural circle were of course a wealthy place in terms of total wealth. Sima Ji knew this clearly, and it could even be said that he was not under the Jin Dynasty.

Ancient India had much greater influence than modern India, especially the degree of cultural radiation. In ancient Hinduism and Buddhism, the reason for the times was that it could deceive some countries outside the cultural circle. If this was in modern society, Indians said that Hinduism and Buddhism were an evolutionary relationship, no country would believe it.

Therefore, if India wants to boost its cultural influence and attract some Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia to stand in a team, it often fails to achieve its goal. However, ancient India was much more culturally strong. Although it belonged to the fate of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years, its cultural output was very strong.

This is what Sima Ji feared. When facing such neighbors, it was too late to be strictly guarded, and he was afraid that India's caste system that hits human nature would be easily accepted by the ruling class that focuses on the butt issue.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the expansion of Buddhism in China was actually very serious, and it was even so serious that it could affect a person's life. In fact, it could be seen from the point of naming. Just like in the area of ​​the Peace Sect, various Muhammads, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially the Southern Dynasties, had already shown a trend of affecting names after Emperor Wu of Liang. Xiao Moke, Wang Sengbian, Cui Mulian, and Du Sengming, who were of the same age as Chen Baxian, had a low origins. Later, they all became governors, either Chen Baxian's direct opponents, or important generals of the Southern Dynasties.

The names of these people were seen at first glance. All of them came from Buddhism in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, at least the influence of Southern and Buddhists was severely influenced by Buddhism. Therefore, after the Southern Expedition began, Sima Ji issued a decisive order, and he must cut off the influence of India and kill all those who believe in Indian religions.

No matter how rich South Asia is, Sima Ji will not go, unless the order of the Jin Dynasty has been completely stable and is enough to resist the infiltration of any religion. At that time, he, the King of Yan, is probably gone.

Sogdian is not just a Samarkand, there are many cities everywhere. Since the King of Yan said that there was only one chance, Sogdian's troops were no longer worth worrying, and now they need to harvest the spoils. So after a brief consideration, the generals elected Tang Qiang to show whether they could divide their troops to attack Sogdian cities.

"I have a quick reaction. Now I have learned to evenly touch the rain and dew?" Sima Jisi nodded for a moment while holding the jade ring on his fingertips, "Move faster and take the right troops. It's faster and easier. The necessary battle is inevitable. But don't massacre ordinary people. We have to advance westward, and the tough battle is still in the future. We will all come back in half a month. We are going to Persia."

This is not how kind Sima Ji was. He had been persuaded by ancient people in this regard. In his eyes, the massacre of the city was not a problem, and it was not a big deal to slaughter it. But in a small country, it was like this. Before others even arrived in Persia, it was probably not famous. In this way, Persia would not resist to the death?

As for the gold, silver and treasures that have been collected, they must be packed and sent to protect them first. Isn’t it like bandits before the war has been completed? Besides, because the war has not ended, no one can guarantee that they can live until the time of returning to the east. If they are killed at that time, wouldn’t it be a waste? Now the army is carrying several things, silk, cattle and sheep and soldiers’ urns.

There were not many cattle and sheep, and when they were guaranteed that there was no existential threat in a short period of time, they were all walking and robbing. Before officially entering Persia, they now needed to step up training. Sima Ji was not very greedy. He only needed to select 20,000 people from the captives of the Hezhong Allied Forces and the White Huns.

The King of Yan was not Han Xin, and it would be better if he could not do more. After arriving in Samarkand, the news about Persia became much clearer. The Persian emperor who started the golden age of Sassanthesia was only two years old, and the rights of the Persian Empire were all in the hands of his mother. The situation of the Persian Empire is somewhat similar to that of Jia Nanfeng when he was still there. Or even worse.

After all, from the perspective of centralization, even the failed dynasty among the various dynasties, our Dajin is stronger than the Persian Empire. At least the Emperor of Jin does not need the title of King of Ten Thousand Kings.

At this time, Persia was the Jin Dynasty before the Eight Kings Rebellion, but the chance of the Eight Kings Rebellion was not high. Because the real powers in various places were very powerful, it was because the degree of centralization was relatively average, and the emperor was not important. Just listen to the tune or not, it was enough to pass the situation.

The rebellion will come violently if it is too centralized, but the internal friction will be severe. The Western Rome should take advantage of the present to attack Persia. But Rome is now an era of the four emperors' co-governance, and the degree of internal friction is no worse than that of Persia. If our Jin Dynasty is now in its current state and Persia, the war will probably have exploded twenty times.

But on the other hand, if Persia is next to the core area of ​​the Jin Dynasty, the degree of centralization may also increase. After all, two countries with similar strengths are too close, and they will definitely learn from each other's advantages. It is possible that history will evolve.

As for all the troops who went out to find wealth, of course, they had to go out under the banner of looking for the Great Zhou Ding. I, Dajin, were not a Mongolian, and I must be famous for my troops. Even Sima Ji rushed over to the Sogdian scholar who had not been harassed much and asked where the whereabouts of the not-being tripod was.

It seems a little shameless, but can it be called shameless when doing things in the name of the country? It is called national interests. We lie, we deceive, and we steal. Isn’t that all to defend our Great Jin Dynasty? Although Sima Ji did not ship the five stones in bulk, he brought the five stones prescription, which could still spread civilization along the way.

At this time, Sima Ji wanted to go to the Xianbei and the Jurchens to work hard among the soldiers. After all, due to various reasons, people suffered great losses. The surface engineering of the King of Yan did not need anyone to teach him. Surface engineering is more useful than no project.

"Even if the fighting power of the Jurchens and Xianbei is enough, it is naturally not comparable to the Jin army." Sima Ji was not standing and talking without a pain in his back, after all, he could not beat Liu Yuan's existence. He had already given face to say this.

Murong Han nodded. In terms of military preparation, the Xianbei and the Jurchens are indeed far from the Jin army, but there is nothing to say. Sima Ji has always used the Jin army as the main force, and he can't say anything.

"But the gains are huge. Fighting with me will not cause you to suffer losses. Loss is inevitable, but you can see what you can see!" Although Sima Ji kept pulling the Hu people to fight with him, it looked similar to the Tang army. But in fact it was different. He would never let the Hu people command the Hu people's troops. Murong Han was just an exception. After all, the Western Expedition was foreseeable.

"Han and his father remembered the great kindness of the King of Yan to me, Murong, in my heart." Murong Han lowered his head to express his loyalty.

"Why are you doing so politely?" Sima Ji also brought up the ruling class and family's words, "I, Dajin, is an opponent you can't defeat, but can you follow me, Dajin, fight others? We have a good rest in the past half month, and we have to go west, and there are still many battles to fight later. Train the prisoners who were drawn. After all, we still need locals who are familiar with the environment to help us save some trouble."

Gelgus did not catch up with King Sogdian by surprise. This was a very regrettable thing for him, but for Sima Ji, what is there to regret? Isn’t it an appropriate excuse? Hearing that King Sogdian fled to Persia, Sima Ji was not worried but happy. The excuse had already appeared. Hurry up and let Sima follow the army record it and start the work of why you fight.

"I don't know when the king will march? Gelgus is willing to serve." Gelgus immediately expressed his loyalty when he heard this. It would be better if Sima Ji could help him solve this problem.

"Let's talk about it when the soldiers from all over the country come back. I will disturb you in Samarkand recently." Sima Ji gave Gelgus a promise, but he can't move yet. Not only because the soldiers have not returned, he has been very busy these days.

Recently, Sima Ji has been writing outlines at the Sogdian Palace and writing outlines of history. He has long wanted to start a discipline of world history after returning to the east.

The reason is that the current Jin Dynasty has not much history to learn from. Don’t think that there is no benefit in the replacement of dynasties. China has a tradition of recording history, which naturally causes the subsequent dynasties to summarize the lessons of the demise of the previous dynasties. In essence, it is certain that each generation is stronger than the next. There are many people who overcorrect it, such as the Song Dynasty.

There was not much history to learn from in the Jin Dynasty. There was only the Qin and Han dynasties before, except for the intrinsic reasons for the Qin collapse. Only the history of the Han dynasty could be used as a lesson. What Emperor Wu Sima Yan saw was that the gentry had made great separatist areas, so it was inevitable to use the royal family to divide the gentry into shocking the gentry. Not only did he do this, but in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, where the gentry had become bigger, there was no good idea.

Even Li Shimin's layout before his death was very similar to the fine adjustment of Sima Yan's layout before his death. Li Shimin's layout failed. If Wu Zetian had not had several sons to inherit the throne, the Tang Dynasty's Tianxia Zhen II would have been usurped, and he would still be qualified to appear as a challenger to the Han Dynasty.
