The princess was finally handed over to the flying snake,
The rumors caused the princess to be discussed by nobles wherever she went.
When a woman loses her reputation, it is no different than death. The princess swears that if she raises her daughter, she will die to prove her innocence.
Although Alfred blocked it, the crack in the couple's hearts could no longer be closed.
Oran did not choose to attack with force. The autumn harvest had arrived, so Alfred put on an absolute defensive stance.
Oran's newly conquered land will also take time to stabilize.
Ulf was defeated, but the war involving hundreds of people did limited damage to Oran.
This incident dealt a blow to domestic factions and knocked Ulf down from third place in the eyes of the Protestants.
One is Oran, the second is the Apostle, and the fourth is the Saint.
The archbishop was forced to issue an edict of guilt and hand over many churches that Oran had previously rewarded.
His group of monks began to be suppressed.
The overall strength of Great Britain decreased, but Oran's dominant proportion of power in the kingdom increased instead.
As early as two months ago, New Rollo (Diodor) made a comeback,
Gather the Viking and Frank forces in northern Frankia again, enter Cornwall, contact the Flying Snake,
Not willing to let the British family dominate.
North Francia is now adopting a confrontational attitude, and the attitude of the French royal family is also very ambiguous, so Oran is not prepared for both. It is coercive and negotiating with the French at the same time.
This year was very uneventful. When Oran sent a guild caravan to the Mediterranean to exchange for Eastern supplies,
The prices of tea and silk increased by another 20%.
These things are specially supplied to Oran and his concubines, or given to important officials in the country.
The businessman inquired about it and found out that there was turmoil in the eastern land, and the price of all items on the Silk Road was raised by at least 10%.
------------------
The Tang Empire stretched northwest to Central Asia.
Caravans flourished, and Uighur armed warlords fought everywhere.
There is a team among them,
Equipped with scimitars, riding strong horses, and with strict discipline, they are few in number but very united.
They have two coaches, Bro and Aku.
This is the earliest name of the two of them. In the eyes of his subordinates, Bro is a Westerner who comes from the end of the world.
They pronounce Britain as Bulieden.
Aku thought he was from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
He liked poetry and always read out the so-called "frontier poems" after winning battles.
My subordinate Wu Fu didn't understand it, but he thought the syllables were very beautiful.
After several years of fighting, they were active as far as Congling and Beitianzhu, and were called the "foreign army".
Bo Luo wanted to return to the west, and Aku wanted to go east. In the end, the latter's opinion won out, and starting in 873, he shifted his focus to the northwest of the empire.
Aku hoped that one day, he would have a base for generations to attack. At first, his target was the southern part of the empire (surrounding the Siam region).
The Great Cannibal's maritime trade route would pass through the Indochina Peninsula and reach Guangzhou. He had heard businessmen say that overseas was a wonderful place.
He wanted to go and build a new world.
But what stood in front of them was not only various Uighur armed forces, but also border troops.
Bro thought this was a dream.
But one day, the situation started to change, and Aku's thoughts changed again, and he began to want to win a place in the Central Plains or the Northwest.
In 874, Yizong, the talker of the Tang Dynasty, passed away.
Then thirteen-year-old Li Xuan came on stage.
His reign name is Qian Fu.
The favored eunuch Tian Lingzi came to power and became the privy envoy. In the same year, there was a severe drought and severe famine.
Some people are so poor that they can't even eat tree bark.
Smelly ditches or wilderness are where their bodies end up.
There is a severe drought in the country, there is no way out, the Tang court is unruly, and the eunuchs are in chaos!
The food handed over to the Tang royal family was not enough, and the government repeatedly demanded collection. They sold their wives and had their houses demolished, but the money handed over was still not enough.
To the common people, it doesn’t matter if this bird is disloyal.
The civil uprising has begun!
Wang Xianzhi, a native of Puzhou, makes a living selling private salt. He is a powerful man and has a good reputation, which attracts homeless people.
Then thousands of people gathered and several brothers raised troops in Henan.
Nickname: General Dajiang, the Heavenly Replenisher and Equalizer, and the Commander-in-Chief of all the tycoons in the country!
Then he defeated several states in a row.
Beginning in 875, a capable man named Huang Chao also began to launch a rebellion.
In his early years, he failed in the imperial examination, made many friends, and once wrote an anti-poem.
He was good at riding and shooting, and was not afraid of the Tang army. He responded to Wang Xianzhi's uprising.
In September 876, both sides conquered several states in Henan again, and their troops were directed towards Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Rumors spread, and the Tang court's authority declined rapidly.
Aku said that he had met Huang Chao.
If a salt dealer could challenge the Tang Dynasty, break into the Eastern Capital, and establish himself as a general or even king,
Then why can't we, a group of lonely frontier troops, create a new dynasty?
Aku recited Huang Chao's anti-poem all day long, and Bo Luo remembered it.
But he didn't understand the intention of changing the world, he just felt chaotic, so chaotic.
In his eyes, those military towns on the border are impossible to penetrate. There are only a few thousand people under his command. If you dislike the vast deserts in the Western Region, why not find a place to live in peace in Northern Tianzhu.
After living with Ah Ku for many years, he began to Chineseize himself. Now Bo Luo has a Tang Dynasty name and surname: Zheng Ying.
Ying represents England.
Zheng liked the Chinese characters the first time he saw them because they were neat and neat.
Aku got this for him. Aku also said that if one day he enters the Tang Dynasty, he will help him find a girl with the fifth surname and the seventh surname.
But he doesn't need a daughter from a famous noble family. He always thinks of his fiancée in his hometown.
The fighting between the Tang people became more and more intense, and Aku kept in contact with the military town in the northwest.
In the autumn of this year, he found an opportunity to participate in a border conflict between the Tang people and the Tubo people, and Aku chose to join the Tang army.
The two names appeared for the first time in the memorials of the temple princes.
Barbarians asking for rewards?
Ha ha.
Their Uighur names, when translated, were ridiculed,
Not from Denxi?
The foreigner within the foreigner, the barbarian among the barbarians.
The person who changed his name to Tang Dynasty in private was considered to be someone who admired the Tang Dynasty and could be educated.
The Celestial Empire will reward those who come to worship, so they give him the name: Quanzhong.
From now on, Bo Luo has Zheng Ying, also named Zheng Quanzhong.
After Ce Xun's third turn, he was given the reward of a flying cavalry captain from the sixth rank, and some other casual duties, which he didn't understand at all.
And why are the names of people in the Tang Dynasty so varied? Depending on your origin, official position, nickname, and nickname, a person can have seven or eight names?
Bo Luo and others were regarded as a branch of Ganzhou Uighurs. They were willing to surrender to the Tang court, but because they were too far away, Zhang Huaishen, who had returned to the rebel army, controlled them.
Fight together against the Uighurs and the Tibetans.
Aku's first step was successfully achieved.
Aku has Chinese blood, and he told his men that from now on he will be a true Tang Dynasty!
No longer a foreign force.
This year, the Xizhou Uighurs in the northwest led troops to attack Zhang Huaishen's territory.
Aku's joining brought two thousand warriors, and they fought a bloody battle.
Yizhou (the new general Hami in later generations) was lost and recovered.
His troops moved to Yizhou for defense, built city towers, and expanded their strength again.
The reputation of the anti-thieves is also increasing day by day.
It’s like soaring to the sky!
------------------
Exquisite silk and tea, return to Beihai port.
The sweet tea entered Olan's throat. He opened the account information and saw that the goods were getting more and more expensive. When he heard the rumors,
Relate memories to future generations.
In 876, General Soaring to Heaven...Huang Chao!
Olan was very interested in the Tang Dynasty's information, but
The distance is too far, and a message of several hundred words often takes more than half a year. Unless the princes of God can control the Silk Road,
Otherwise, there is no way to contact the Tang people.
