There are powerful enemies around you, and there are enemies around you. Sooner or later, all powerful enemies and these enemies will have to fight to the death. What should you do?
The Black-clothed Dashi is currently facing such a problem. Datang is too powerful, and even if they don't admit it, they know it in their hearts. At present, they cannot defeat the frontier cavalry in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the more elite Holy Knights and Holy Holy Army are still near the capital. Once the Tang Dynasty launches an expedition, they will not be able to resist the cavalry from the east.
The results of the Holy Knights' war with the Turks in Liaodong were also spread to Black Clothes Dashi early. Their territory was not without the Turks who were defeated by the Tang Dynasty. They were able to stay in Black Clothes Dashi naturally because of their help. Hold on to your own strength.
In this comparison, we can see how powerful the Tang Dynasty's elite military was.
You ask where the news of the expedition came from. Sorry, everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows it. Everyone knows what His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun talks about every day.
As the current big boss of the Black Era, Saladin expressed his helplessness. Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that the Tang Dynasty is too powerful. Even in a certain era, the Tang Dynasty's expeditionary force would have completely leveled the Western Regions had it not been for the weather.
The content of the convener to discuss is actually very simple, that is, the ongoing righteous peace with New Rome and Persia, or the righteous peace with the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, give yourself a chance to breathe, mobilize your strength to go south to the South Asian subcontinent, obtain a fertile and rich land, recuperate and continue your strength.
The abacus was good, but the reality was often crueler. Someone who met Zhang Zhongjian brought bad news. The Tang fleet had entered the South Asian subcontinent and established a frontline base.
They didn't know what was going on with Datang's East China Sea Fleet, after all, they had never seen it, but when they heard the news, none of them was good.
The East China Sea Fleet of the Tang Dynasty swept across the entire Southeast Asian waters. No one could withstand an attack wherever it went, and the number of ships continued to grow rapidly.
In the wide hall, in addition to Saladin, there were also leaders of large tribes. They were sitting together. The decorations around them were luxurious or not, whether they were exquisite or not. Whether the guards around them were elite or not, their thoughts were not here at this time. .
As the conflict with the Tang Dynasty began, the tribes on the border thought they could make a fortune, but as a result, the tribal cavalry suffered heavy casualties. At least their big boss was more enlightened and gave them some money and slaves as compensation.
Compared with their main cavalry, there is a big gap between these, especially money. Excessive wealth does not have the power to protect it. In the end, it will belong to others. They know this law well.
Among the leaders, those facing pressure from the two new empires in the West were also somewhat dissatisfied. They originally wanted to bulldoze the Roman Empire that Persia conquered, but suddenly their style changed.
This was equivalent to the cooked duck flying in the pot. It was even said that not only did it fly, it also turned into a giant beast and followed them to fight.
The leaders of the central region were not very happy either. The defeat in the war meant that they had not received the money they originally received, and their own people also suffered some losses. It seemed that they had lost a hundred million in one round.
Saladin knew that they had a truce and some peace talks. The two sides had been fighting for many years, and with the blessing of faith, the probability of a complete peace was zero.
He was angry and helpless at the noise of the people below. It was not that they didn't listen to him. Rather, they are fulfilling the responsibility of a clan leader to fight for the interests of his clan. In this regard, a wise monarch should not blame them.
The thinking and noisy continued for a while, and most of the leaders felt their mouths were dry and gradually became quiet.
Seeing that the scene was calm and there was not much he could do, Saladin used his own eyes to look at the sky in the distance outside the hall. It was clear and clear without any clouds.
Looking at the sky, watching intently, it seems as if there is a pair of huge eyes staring here.
Not a good sign
"Big boss, what are you looking at?"
"Sky"
"Oh, so blue"
"Yes"
A useless conversation passed between the two, and then the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
The awkward atmosphere did not last long. After all, these scenes gradually became quiet. Everyone said they were tired and were waiting for Saladin to speak.
Looking back at the beginning of my career, there were turbulent times like a giant eagle soaring into the sky. Now it seems that everything is not going well, even reproduction is a problem.
"Everyone, now that the discussion is over, let me start talking."
"Follow your orders, my lord"
Listening to the responses in unison, Saladin was filled with pride. What is prestige and power? More than 100,000 cavalry under his command swept across half of the Mediterranean.
Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel helpless, time is not waiting for me.
"How are the negotiations with New Rome and New Egypt going?"
"Sir, the effect is not very satisfactory. After all, our war lasted for a long time, both sides suffered too many casualties, and the hatred lasted for several generations."
Sure enough, this is the fact. Even if they are willing, they will not agree. You have to know that if nothing happens, you will destroy them in the past few years.
The hatred between the country and the family cannot be solved in two sentences. This requires time, enough time for those with hatred to grow old. The new generation has not experienced life and death, thus reducing hatred.
This is a long-term share. Judging from the situation, it will take more than twenty or thirty years, but it seems that Datang will not give them that long time.
With a five-masted sailing ship, an ocean-going fleet, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry, if the other party contacted the two opponents of New Egypt and New Rome and attacked from all directions, he would not be able to withstand it at all.
The above is the worst result. Of course, they have many nomadic cavalry, so migration is okay. For example, they can go to that magical black continent, take away all the pagans, and the rest will be their own.
As for heading north, only go north if you are crazy. The lowest temperature is minus 70 degrees. It is too difficult to survive there.
I didn’t know that my big boss was thinking so much. The boss looked at Saladin and said nothing. He also knew that the peace talks were not easy to handle. He could only swallow his saliva and bite the bullet and continued: "But it’s not useless. Progress, as long as we tell them over there in the east, some of their people will waver in the religious policies implemented by the empire."
Hearing his subordinates say that some people were shaken, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. As for why Li Mingda heard that there was a trend of alliance in the West, it was actually related to this situation.
The policy implemented by Li Mingda was naturally that the Mingzun Holy Religion was the only faith, and the local Taoism and Buddhism were retained to a limited extent. In the subsequent development, Li Mingda was not worried about what would happen to Taoism, after all, their practice concepts were there.
As for the Buddha, they have no power to resist at present, and they will not have it in the future. The army has already entered mainland Southeast Asia. When the time comes, they will simply completely understand their strange beliefs and replace them with the Mingzun Holy Cult.
