The business of Aden City is becoming more and more prosperous, and the population is also increasing. Its prosperity process has not been interrupted by the influence of Aab Caliphate ’s domestic change and wars. The era of the fastest development in Aden City, in recent years As the Great Tang Empire developed industrialization and drove the development of maritime trade, Aden City ushered in the spring breeze of development, and the influx of great Tang merchants made the small Aden City a southern part of Aab Caliphate. Important Harbor City.

It is just because the Suez Canal does not yet exist, so the strategic value of the Red Sea is greatly reduced. If this famous canal can be opened, whether it is the Red Sea or Aden City, its strategic value will greatly increase, and Aden City will become A very important city is more than 100 times more important than it is now.

At this moment, the businessmen in Aden City are busy doing business, the old 100 people are also leisurely shopping, there is no tension before the war, and the defense of the city ’s soldiers is not much different from the usual, at most it is the city wall The number of soldiers and horses stationed has doubled than before, and there are more defensive materials on the city wall. There is not much change in the city.

This is exactly what the city owner Artik ’s brilliant is. He knows very well that whether it is Ottoman in the northwest or Ziyad in the northeast, he will not stupidly attack the city of Aden because they are not much different in strength. Attacking the city will force the forces of Aden into the other’s camp, which is very unfavorable to oneself. Moreover, this city battle also has merchants representing their interests. Once the fighting starts, these people will follow Suffer.

What’s more, Artic’s most important thing is business. If the city is full of teachers, it will create a tense atmosphere of war. In this way, the business atmosphere will be diluted. Many businessmen may choose to leave Aden City. For Aden ’s population, the business of Aden will be depressed, and their days will not be easy. Therefore, he must create a strong business atmosphere and let the old 100 surname and businessman An’an stay in Aden with their hearts.

In addition, although the atmosphere of Aden City was not at all, it did n’t mean that Artic was not prepared. He knew that he did n’t deploy many defenses, but secretly all the main roads in the city were stationed. With casual soldiers and horses, a street house that looks unremarkable, there may be 100 elite soldiers stationed in it. Once someone nearby makes trouble, the 100 soldiers can immediately charge ahead to maintain order and prevent unrest in the city.

In the vicinity of the city wall and Harbor, there are also many secret preparations. A battleship that seems to have only 3 soldiers may have a fifty-sixty level hidden in the cabin. The soldiers on the city wall look no more than usual. However, there are more soldiers resting and chatting on the female wall. Once there is an enemy raid, they can enter the battle at any time. There are also many soldiers stationed in the warehouse below the city.

In short, the seemingly undefended Aden City is actually already fortified, and the fortifications are still relatively strict, not weaker than the fortified city where soldiers are everywhere on the main street.

The city owner Artik is an old fogey about 50 years old, with a standard Arabian face, not at all what is special, if he is asked to change his clothes and enter the old 100 surname, he will soon be given by the crowd Submerged.

However, Altick’s clothing is very expensive, unlike the clothes of ordinary merchants and 100 surnames, and his noble identity can be seen at a glance.

On the left and right sides of Artic, there are his powerful Assistants, most of whom are Shia Sect’s followers, and only a few are small leaders of other schools.

Their entire group stands on top of the tallest building in the city. This building has always been stationed by soldiers to observe the city ’s every move and ensure the safety of the city. At the same time, because the building is too tall, it can even be seen outside the city Case.

In peacetime, such a tall building can be used for sightseeing, and every visitor can bring income to this sightseeing tower.

But in this period, such a high tower is the guarantee of city safety and can not be used for tourists. 10000 this tourist is the enemy’s Spy. After entering the sightseeing tower, can not take all the conditions of the entire city in the entire scene, as a result, it is a great disadvantage to the defensive side.

As the owner of the city of Aden, Altik is naturally qualified to go to the sightseeing tower, especially in recent months, he often brought his powerful men to the sightseeing tower.

Artick went to the sightseeing tower, not to admire the scenery. He had passed the age of admiring the scenery long ago. The purpose of his visit to the sightseeing tower was to observe the dynamics of Aden city and make his own judgment.

“Do you see it? Some merchant ships come in and go out, but there is neither unloading nor loading on the ship. The people on these merchant ships are definitely not merchants. I don’t know who they are!”

The merchant ship that Altik saw was the advance vessel of Great Tang.

“Urban lord, do you want to buckle down to check?”

A subordinate asked.

Altik shrugged and shook his head: “Forget it! Now that they can already be sure that they are not normal businessmen, how can the search be done, cast aside all considerations for face is not good for us, they want to install in the city Eyeliner, there are 100 possible ways, let them go! “

Artic of wily old fox has understood everything for a long time. Although he is very angry with the Abbas dynasty go back on one’s word, he wholeheartedly supports Ali ’s descendants for the caliphate, but his Shia Sect and many small factions can control it now. The city has very little power, and the power is far less than the strength of the Abbas Dynasty. Meet force with force is difficult to win.

Although the recent Umayyad expedition General Ottoman extended an olive branch to him and expressed his willingness to fight against the new Abbas dynasty, in the eyes of Altik, the Umayyad dynasty and the Abbasid dynasty are jackals of the same tribe , Who are usurpers of rebellion, are not trustworthy.

Just in view of the current situation, Altik did not dare to anger Ottoman excessively, but pretend to be polite with Ottoman, even, provoking Ottoman to fight with Ziyad to sit back and become the fisherman who sweeps the benefits.

Artik is cunning enough, but Ziyad and Ottoman are both old-fashioned old foxes, and they are too old to be impulsive, so no matter how articulous and provocative Artic makes, they are not hands-on. , And Altik is not in a hurry. At worst everyone is slowly chanting, anyway, he has time, he can slowly play with these 2 people.

“Urban master, the 2nd soldiers outside the city have not been moving, but they have been stationed in the north, relying on not to go, really motherfucker is uncomfortable.”

A mercenary general is very upset.

Regular soldiers all have a sense of mission, and they fight to defend the motherland, but mercenaries are different. Mercenaries come to be soldiers for money. Their only purpose in serving as soldiers is to obtain military pay. So that I can nourish myself alive.

Therefore, mercenaries do not like to fight, because whether they fight or not, as mercenaries, they all have military pay, and fighting means to die, if you do n’t fight, you can always receive money comfortably, how good it is. !

The city of Aden was originally armed with the Umayyad dynasty, but in order to fight against the nascent Abbas dynasty, most of the defenders here were transferred away, leaving only dozens of troops, Altik assembled The Shia Sect armed forces of several hundred people wiped out the small number of defenders.

After becoming the city owner, Altik faced a big problem, that is, his Shia Sect armed forces were too weak, only a few hundred people. Later, the nearby Shia Sect armed forces also heard the news, but even In this way, there are only more than 100 people, and the strength is still not enough, which is not enough to defend the rich city of Aden.

In order to solve this problem, Artic only spent money to hire the army, whether it is the bandit group in the mountains, the pirate Legion at sea, the anti-Imperial Court Legion in the surrounding countries, and even the hard-working social loose Loose Practitioner members, as long as they are willing to Defending the city of Aden, Artic received all the orders, and sent generals to train and educate them to prevent these complex mercenaries from doing things.

The reason why Artik can think of the mercenary path is naturally because there are so many merchants in Aden City, the rich people get together, and the richer the people, the more afraid of death, let them each pay some money to hire troops to protect In Aden City, these guys are naturally willing to pay, so there is no pressure on the funding of the hired army. As far as discipline is concerned, as long as the military pay is released in time, there should be no problems.

Aden City is an open city. There are countless restaurants and Brothel. There are enough places for mercenaries to vent their emotions. As long as all needs can be met, all kinds of bad emotions can be very good. To vent, mercenaries have no reason to make trouble.

“Abbas has been seriously ill recently. This news has spread throughout Khorasan. Even the 100 surnames and merchants in Aden City are understood. It’s such a big thing, It shouldn’t be fake!”

“It shouldn’t be. Earlier today, our soldiers came back and reported that 100 elite cavalry had left the camp at the Ziyad barracks and went straight to Khorasan. I think it should be related to Abbas ’s illness. It is the first time in many days that so many elite cavalry have left Ziyad ’s camp, which is very unusual. “

“Great Tang has a sentence called evil and evil. I do n’t know if you have heard of it. Abbas is a person without loyalty. He once promised us that he supported Ali ’s descendants to ascend the throne. , It ’s really hateful to be on the caliphate. ”

“This damn Great Demon is finally dying. Such a cruel and unscrupulous person should die early.”

Everyone said one by one.

Altick nodded, looked towards the far out-of-city direction, opened the mouth and said: “Our people in Khorasan have also just returned, it is already certain that Abbas is indeed seriously ill, and it is still a very serious emergency. It is estimated I can’t live half a month. “

“Oh, this is great news! Abbas is finally dying, he is dying.”

“This is very good news to celebrate.”

“When the news of Abbas’s death comes, we must celebrate it.”

“Yes, yes, it must be celebrated.”

Everyone was very happy.

Altick ’s expression was not so optimistic, and he could n’t figure out Abbas ’s seriousness. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. In his view, even if Abbas died, the Abbas dynasty would also have a new heir. If the new heir is Fortunately, Cao Bao, but if the new heir is more insidious and cunning than Abbas, then it is even more difficult for them to support Ali’s descendants.

In the view of Cunning’s Altick, although Abbas is quite fierce and brutal, and the slaughter who opposes him everywhere, the consequence of the tyranny is to stir up the struggle of all other factions. If the struggle continues, the Abbas dynasty will end sooner or later. of.

Since ancient times, no dynasty can completely rely on tyranny to stabilize the country. The Great Qin Empire of China is a good example. The 2nd generation has already perished.

What Altik fears most is that he is more ruthless than Abbas, but the soft heir he does on the surface, in that case, it will be more difficult for Shia Sect to support Ali’s children and grandchildren.

The Umayyad dynasty has been usurped for hundreds of years. If the Abbas dynasty is allowed to continue to usurp for more than 100 years, when will it be Ali ’s children ’s turn?

Shia Sect united many factions to fight against the tyrannical Umayyad dynasty in order to overthrow the usurper and support the descendants of Ali who should really succeed to the caliphate. As a result, Abbas was tricked to get the world, which made them very dissatisfied .

Military power is always the most important decisive force in ancient and modern China and abroad, and the Abbas faction succeeded in usurping the throne because it had the most military power.

This is somewhat similar to Zhao Kuangyin of the Chinese Song Dynasty. Old Zhao said that he wanted to assist Emperor, but he played a trick of yellow robe to add himself. On the ground that his subordinates forced him to be Emperor, he was so shameless. Emperor.

At the beginning of the rebellion against the Umayyad dynasty, Shia Sect naturally had many generals and certain military power, but Abbas knew the importance of military power, so when fighting against the Umayyad dynasty, he always promoted himself more The generals of the faction and the suppression of the other generals of the various sects eventually led to the fact that almost all of the high-ranking troops were Abbas generals, thus laying the ground for Abbas to be on the caliphate.

After staying at the sightseeing tower for an hour, Artic and the excited men slowly left.

Unlike Altik ’s suffering, Ottoman ’s mood is very good. He is many years younger than Altick. Considering the problem is not so meticulous, he just thinks that Abbas ’s death is a good thing.
