Altik, the city owner of Aden, is a devout ***, but in *** World, because of various contradictions, *** believers eventually divided into many factions, including Sunni, Shia Sect, and Abbas Pie, Havaligi, etc. factions.

Because the founding monarch of the Umayyad dynasty was the throne obtained by usurping power, he forcibly seized the status of Muhammad’s son-in-law Ali and his son Hussein and created the Umayyad dynasty.

This behavior was opposed by many believers who supported Ali and Hussein. They gathered to form a powerful Shia Sect, which was specifically opposed to the Umayyad dynasty. From time to time, they carried out some uprising activities and hit the Umao heavily. The rule of the Ya Dynasty.

In addition, some believers have created the military democrat Havalit, which is also the enemy of the Umayyad dynasty, and the increasingly powerful Abbas faction, and finally gave the Umayyad dynasty a fatal blow. The remaining small factions also Each has its own power.

Dissatisfaction with the brutal rule of the Umayyad dynasty and its disapproval of its dynasty eventually led to the union of many factions to fight against the Umayyad dynasty and reinvent the Umayyad dynasty. Now, the entire Umayyad The control area of ​​the Asian dynasty is already very small, and it is not in the core area. The core Khorasan area is no longer part of the Umayyad dynasty.

In the process of fighting against the Umayyad dynasty, the Abbas faction eventually gained the upper hand. The leader of the Abbas faction, Abbas Abbas eventually became the leader of the new empire, that is, the monarch of Abbasid Caliphate.

But after the establishment of the new empire, the brother factions that had been united together began to appear suspicious, and the new regime began to attack the original allies, brutal suppression of the Sinbad, Persia La 10000, Shia Sect, Havali and the faction. In particular, the former Great League Shia Sect, the struggle between the new regime and Shia Sect was very cruel.

Abbas ’s younger brother, Mansour, beheaded two of Ali ’s great-grandchildren Ibrahim and Mohammed in one fell swoop, striking the forces of Shia Sect badly. Poor Shia Sect made wedding dresses for others, and the fire in his heart can be imagined .

The reason why Shia Sect rebelled against the Umayyad dynasty was to support the descendants of Ali to maintain the orthodox ***, but the new Abbas dynasty is not a descendant of Ali, and they are also regarded as usurpers.

In the old saying of Huaxia, the tiger was invited to drive away the hungry wolf, but the tiger came to the top again. Taking the late Han Dynasty as an example, the Han The Son of Heaven was very dissatisfied with Li Yong and Guo Bang ’s maintenance of political affairs. Cao Cao was helped to help himself. The two of Li Guo were eliminated, but the new Cao Cao did not take the Son of Heaven seriously. Those Han Chen who had persuaded Emperor to invite Cao Cao, it is estimated that the intestines had repented and could only secretly find a way to eliminate Cao Cao.

The Umayyad dynasty has been very weak, and now the entire Arab World is almost Abbas. Although the previous alliance factions have begun to rebel against the new Abbas dynasty, because of the power disparity, it cannot cause the Abbas dynasty to be too big. Injured, the Abbas dynasty firmly controlled the core Khorasan region, and the first empire of the empire, Abu, became the first Governor of Khorasan.

There is a saying that there is no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. When fighting against the brutal rule of the Umayyad dynasty, many factions and the Umayyad dynasty are deadly enemies.

But now, the power of the Umayyad dynasty has been extremely declining, and the new Abbas dynasty has bloodyly suppressed the previous Allied factions. As a result, Shia Sect and other factions that previously rebelled against the Umayyad dynasty have shaken hands with the Umayyad dynasty. The real needs of peace.

Of course, this kind of handshake is only a combination of their own interests under special circumstances. If they can finally defeat the Abbas dynasty and overthrow the rule of the Abbas dynasty, then their temporary friendship will end.

However, after all, it was a former enemy, and the political proposition was different. So, it would be very difficult for the Umayyad remnant forces to join forces with Shia Sect and other factions. First, contact and then carry out various Negotiate, establish their own needs, and finally decide whether they can temporarily join forces.

Aden City is a city with a very strong commercial atmosphere. In the city, there are a large number of merchants from all over the World, including ***, and ordinary Great Tang 100 surnames, and even merchants from Western Europe. In short, people of all skin colors All, even, the Chamber of Commerce was formed to protect the interests of businessmen.

Such a strong commercial city naturally diminishes the influence of religion. All factions need financial resources, and financial resources must be realized through commerce. Therefore, in Aden City, all the factions of *** exist and can live in peace with each other.

In fact, with the exception of a few radicals, most of the *** businessmen and businessmen from other countries are only interested in making money in doing business. They are not too interested in fighting at Desire Sect. Making more money is the right way to have money. Only in my heart can I not panic.

Altik, the city owner of Aden, is a Shia Sect ***. As the Umayyad dynasty gradually weakened Western Mountain, he led a group of people to kill the city lord appointed by the Umayyad dynasty, announcing the departure of Aden city from Uma The Asian dynasty joined the queue against the Umayyad dynasty, but the actions of the new Abbas dynasty really hurt the hearts of Shia Sect people and made them dissatisfied. In this case, as the Shia Sect ’s Al Tick ​​did not join the nascent Abbas dynasty and became a de facto independent commercial city.

The remnant forces of the Umayyad dynasty, knowing the fact that the new Abbas dynasty betrayed them, immediately extended an olive branch to the city of Aden. They gave very favorable conditions, and even sent troops to the Northwest of Aden city to play the role of grace. The role.

Of course, the new Abbas dynasty will not show any weakness. Governor Abdullah of Khorasan *** immediately dispatched his elite general Ziyad to lead 10000 elite soldiers to the vicinity of Aden City, using military force to deter the city of Aden and destroy the nearby Umayyad soldiers with the camera horse.

Because it has collapsed with many other factions, the new Abbas regime faces more threats, there are turbulences in all directions and inside the empire, and it is difficult to concentrate the troops in one direction. Otherwise, the brutal character of Abbas Abbas has long been It is a waste of time to gather elite soldiers to defeat the city of Aden, where deterrence and conspiracy will be used.

3 Fang forces are all around in Aden City, Northwest is the General Ottoman of Umayyad Dynasty, and Northeast is the famous general of the Abbas Dynasty, Ziyad.

The forces of these three forces are all the same, about 3 people. Among them, the battle strength of the soldiers under the command of Ziyad is the strongest, the soldiers and horses under the command of Ottoman are also good, and the guards of the city under Artic in Aden The weakest, but because of the protection of the city wall, it is not at all weak.

In addition, there are many businessmen in Aden City, and businessmen are very rich, so they have enough financial resources to hire an army, which can greatly enhance their strength.

Almost all of the 10000 soldiers and horses in Aden City are soldiers hired by merchants, some originally farmers, some merchants who failed in business, some robbers and pirates, and even retired professional soldiers. In short, all kinds of people Yes, it is an army with extremely complex elements.

The general situation is like this, and for the details of all influence negotiations and struggles, Li An and the others are not understood at all. This must be investigated in person to know that this is the main reason for Li An to send 50 advance teams.

“Minister Li, it seems that the Umayyad dynasty is in vain. Even if Aden City joins the Umayyad dynasty, it can’t save this dynasty that is about to perish.”

A civilian saw everything.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of a dying dynasty, a dynasty that has lost more than 9% of its territory, and can be brought back to life. This is an impossible thing, Minister Li has never happened.

However, it is not known whether the new regime can hold the rivers that it was easy to beat down, because there are many new regimes in history. At the beginning, they were very fierce, but they rose quickly and died quickly. The unconsciously perished.

“Since we all see that the Umayyad dynasty has not returned to the sky, the merchants of Aden will not see it. Of course they will not join the Umayyad dynasty. Who will choose to follow a loser? , Shia Sect worked hard, but finally made a wedding dress for the Abbas faction, he must be very unhappy, and temporarily chose to cooperate with the Umayyad dynasty to fight against the Abbas dynasty, it is not impossible, but, even if they unite , Not necessarily the opponent of the Abbas dynasty. “

Said a general.

“Yeah, Chiad ’s 10000 elite is nothing, but the Abbas dynasty has a few hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and not all of them are being dispatched. That ’s because there are many insurgent areas, and many areas are important in Biyading City. The core The Khorasan region needs the main force to maintain, but once the other directions stabilize, Aden City will be in trouble. “

Said a civil servant.

Any dynasty has its own core interests, and the core interest of the Abbas dynasty is the Khorasan region, where more than half of the empire ’s soldiers and horses must be deployed in this place to suppress and deter the rest of the revolts caused by the various sects and maintain the absolute empire. rule.

As for the relatively minor border area of ​​Aden City, it is temporarily unable to deal with spare no effort. Dispatching the famous star Ziyad to arrive here with a rate of 10000 elite has been regarded as very important.

“Minister Li, the situation in Aden City is quite complicated now. This is the perfect time for us to start. As long as the advance team finds out the specific situation, the main force can go.”

Said a civil servant.

Li An nodded and said: “What you said makes sense. Aden City is a good place. It ’s a pity to miss it. However, Aab Caliphate is a big country after all. You have to think about everything before making a decision. You go back. After much preparation, no matter what news the advance team sends back, we will leave Anzhu City and go to Aden City within ten days. “

“Yes, the subordinates retire.”

The civil, military, and military officials retreated slowly, leaving Li An alone to watch the map.

Li An looked more and more and felt that Aden City was very important and an extremely important strategic place. By observing the map of *** World, Li An lamented the ruthlessness of the dynasty.

The Umayyad dynasty was completely over, simply did not return to heaven, and it was the Umayyad dynasty that laid the entire Arab territory. At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, the Umayyad dynasty expanded outwards, East, West, North , and South have expanded in several directions.

The Umayyad King captured Kabul towards the east, then headed north to enter the inland areas of Central Asia, conquering Bukhara, Samarkand, and the thorns of the thorns until the Pamirs were blocked by the Great Tang soldiers and horses. , This stopped the pace of expansion to the east.

On the road to the southeast, the Umayyad dynasty also did very well. A *** army captured the Sindh and Punjab areas of India, marking that *** religion has taken root in India since then.

The army that conquered Northwest had attacked Constantinople 3 times, only because the city was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has never been broken.

In the West, the Umayyad dynasty wiped out the North African garrison of the Byzantine Empire, occupied a large area of ​​North Africa, and made the local people believe in *** ism, then attacked Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, and then occupied 2/3 of the land of Spain to conquer The German Xi Kingdom of Brother Xi.

Even more than ten years ago, the Umayyad army had crossed the Pyrenees and attacked the Frankish kingdom of Western Europe. However, because this area was too far from the core area of ​​the Umayyad dynasty, it was eventually Franconian. The army of the kingdom was defeated, and large-scale expansion activities were ended.

Of course, at this time, the empire had entered the final stage, the domestic rebellion continued, and simply could not continue to expand outward.

If you look at it from another angle, perhaps it is precisely because the dynasty continued to expand outwards, which led to continuous increase in military expenditures. The days of the 100 people became more and more difficult. The opposition took the opportunity to make it difficult, thus completely ruining the Umayyad dynasty.

Such examples are also common in the Chinese empire. For example, the last king of Shangchao, Shang King, transferred the main soldiers to attack Dongyi, and the Zhou Dynasty army suddenly came over. As a result, Shang Dynasty could only let slaves to resist Zhou. Towards the elite, and finally the slave counterattacked, destroying the Shang Dynasty that had existed for hundreds of years.

The same is true of the Qin dynasty. Qin Shihuang, who was very happy, mobilized 500,000 Armed Forces to stabilize Lingnan, 2 300,000 Armed Forces to fight against the Huns in the north. It’s done.

Historians will always label decaying dynasties as decayed, which is also an indisputable fact, but the demise of a dynasty is more than decay, excessive consumption of civilian power, large-scale foreign wars, etc. Is the root cause of the collapse of the empire.
