The Shahi dynasty is generally divided into two eras: the Turkic Shahi and the Indian Shahi. The Turkic Shahi ended about sixty years ago in 870. It is also called the Kabul-Shahi dynasty.
At that time, the Kabul-Shahi dynasty was a powerful dynasty that ruled the entire Indus Valley and most of Afghanistan. It is said that the king was a member of the Western Turkic Khanate.
But this strength did not last long. After it was continuously attacked by the Saffar dynasty of Persia and later the Saman Persia and other Tianfang religious forces, and the domestic Hindus began a continuous rebellion.
The last king of the Shahi dynasty in Kabul was replaced by his minister Kalal, and the Shahi dynasty in India was subsequently established.
After this civil strife, the Shahi Dynasty completely lost Kabul and other places, retaining only the Indus River Valley and part of Gandhara.
The general scope is today's central and northwest Pakistan, including Lahore, Fort ***, Peshawar and part of Kashmir.
However, in the following decades, after the Indian Shahi dynasty regained its strength, it has been repeatedly competing with the Samanid dynasty for eastern Afghanistan, including Kabul.
Thirty years ago, they even regained most of the area. However, after Nasr II of the Samanid Dynasty worked hard to rule, the Samanid Dynasty established the Governor of Hunduz north of Kabul, and regained it ten years ago.
Kabul and other places.
This period of history is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The Shahi Dynasty seems to have quite a martial virtue.
India's Asan attacked Kabul and went northward against the Khyber Pass to conquer it. It sounds so magical!
However, having said that, strictly speaking, the current Shahi dynasty in India is not an Indian dynasty, but a Pakistani dynasty.
To tell a hellish joke, there is no Indus River in India because the Indus River is in Pakistan.
Do you think these bandits are sick? They turned India into a pot of rotten porridge, turning it from a geographical concept into a national concept.
Later, when we were too weak, we ran away, leaving a huge muddy area to disgust us. Who are these people?
Squatting in the air and complaining about Dai Ying's evil deeds, Zhang Zhao was actually a little worried about India's Xia Xi's strength.
He actually dared to conquer the opposite direction and succeeded. It deserves attention!
However, after the trembling city lord reported these famous fierce battles in Northeast Tianzhu to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao found that his impression was correct.
The third brother is still the same third brother. Even if he should be called Xiaoba, it does not affect their crotch-stretching force.
If we rank the military force of Saman Persia in order, it is roughly Alka Forbidden City Guards > Bukhara Gulam Guards > Herat and Samarkand Gulam Guards > Elsali in various places
Sub-Standing Army>God Warrior, Mustafa levy army, this level comes.
And what is garrisoned in Huwen City? The entire Huwen City (Kabul) has a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is only one Ersalia standing army with a thousand households. It is under the command of Governor Hunduz, and it is often not full of troops.
The others are basically the Mustafa levy army recruited from the local Iqta, as well as some fanatical divine warriors.
The battles between the two sides often went like this. The Shahi dynasty of India organized an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people, and then defeated the local levied troops in a miserable state, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Samanid Dynasty relied on the thousand standing troops of Governor Hunduz to stabilize the situation, and then transferred the Ghulam Guards from Bukhara, Samarkand and other places to drive the Shahi Dynasty back to India with a hammer.
Since there was no economic motivation, and it was not cost-effective to send troops to Guard City, the Samanid dynasty rarely went to India.
After all, the internal disputes in the Samanid Dynasty and the threats from the north and west are still quite large, and they can't think of arrogating power in India for the time being.
Then after the Indian Shahi is defeated and returns to the country, he will lick his wounds, accumulate strength, and prepare for the next reverse invasion.
The two sides have been fighting like this from about 880 to the present. In the past fifty years, the city of Huwen changed hands twice, and the Shahi Dynasty of India was bombed three times.
This pair of wonderful opponents had a great time fighting on this barren land in eastern Afghanistan.
Zhang Zhao could even feel that within the Xia Xi Dynasty, the counterattack on Huwen City had been regarded as a political show.
Fight twice when there is no need. If any king does not fight, it must be because he is not strong and does not want to take back the homeland of his ancestors.
What the hell, King Zhang said he was unable to complain. Although war is a continuation of politics, isn't it a bit too childish for you to do this?
However, Zhang Zhao sniffed his nose twice and suddenly had an idea.
He asked the local officials of the Samanid Dynasty. It was ten years ago that the Shahi Dynasty of India lost the city of Wenwen.
It seems that the beating he received last time was so severe that it took ten years for him to recover.
However, it seems that I can give the Natsuki Dynasty a shot in the arm!
Yes! There was civil strife in Saman Persia, Crown Prince Hamid’s coup, Emir Nasr II was killed, and the domestic princes, big and small, were fighting for power and profit.
Tell me, if the Shahi dynasty of India gets this news, will they feel excited that I can do it again and take advantage of his illness to kill him?
Wouldn't it be easier if King Modapala of the Shahi Dynasty could organize an army of 30,000 to 40,000 people and go north to deliver food himself?
But before doing this, Prince Sadid and other local natives must feel a strong temptation.
After all, Prince Sadid's wife's family is a wealthy family near Huwen City. There are hundreds of iqta families in the family with hundreds of acres of land. To deceive the rulers of the Shahi Dynasty, they must contribute.
The bait that made Prince Sadid and the wealthy family behind him salivate was that Zhang Zhao helped them drive away the governor of Kunduz, which would later be known as Kunduz, Afghanistan, so that these local wealthy families could take care of themselves.
.
Of course, Zhang Zhao actually also had the need to drive away Governor Hundushi.
In the future, when our own people in the Fergana Basin went south to clear grass valleys, there would always be the governor of Samampos stuck in the middle, which was not a problem.
Simply get rid of the problem, and then go to Huwen City to establish a vassal state in Hundushi, and hold this passage to India in your own hands.
He did what he said. This time Zhang Zhao came to Huwen City and brought a total of 20,000 troops, including 16,000 Shunyi left and right armies, 2,000 Khotan palace guards, and 2,000 Fengtian troops.
The remaining 10,000 troops are commanded by Yin Yaozi, and they are still occupying Samarkand because the procurement of Samarkand has not been completed, and it is also to beat Hamid.
Zhang Zhao thought for a while and decided that it was not appropriate to send someone else. He quickly drove away Liu Zaisheng, who had followed him shamelessly and wanted to gain some military exploits, and asked him to transfer 5,000 men from the Shunyi Right Army back.
On one side, property worth six million dinars was transported from Bukhara and Samarkand and sent to Kesai City, Shule, Khotan and other places according to the plan.
While driving away the governor of Samampos in Hunduz, he also wiped out the small tribes along the way who were not willing to obey the rules.
Prince Sadid's execution ability is quite good. Not long after Zhang Zhaogang gave him orders, he relied on the influence of his father-in-law's family to protect Wen City, Hesina City (Gazni), Luolan City (Bamiyan) and other places.
All the wealthy families were invited.
At this time, the religious composition of this area in eastern Afghanistan was still very complex.
For example, Bamiyan, where Luolan City is located, is an area where Buddhism is very prosperous. If the Bamiyan Buddha is not destroyed by humans in later generations, it can still be seen today.
In 934, the Tianfang Sect's forces had not yet completely controlled this area. It can be said that here, the Tianfang Sect and the Buddhists were basically evenly divided.
This is also the reason why the Shahi Dynasty of India can continue to attack here, and it is also the reason why Saman Persia has no energy to deal with the situation here. Religious conflicts are too complicated.
"Well done, Prince Sadid, you have the potential to be an excellent king!"
Looking at the local tycoon kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhang Zhao first praised Prince Sadid.
This is true, because Zhang Zhao came from Khotan and Dunhuang, both places where Buddhism flourished, and Zhang Zhao inevitably bore the mark of a Buddhist.
Just look at the soldiers below him and you will know that they are kind to those who believe in Buddhism, but they are picky about those who believe in Tianfang religion.
If Prince Sadid hadn't come forward, then these local Tianfang believers would have run into the mountains so that no one in Zhang Zhao could find him, and when he left, they would have come out to fight against him.
Now that Prince Sadid can invite them here, it is at least a big step towards success.
"Let me tell you some good news first. Governor Hundushi from Bukhara has been driven away by someone!
From today on, Buddhists here no longer need to pay expensive poll taxes, and Tianfang believers no longer need to send a large number of men to Hundushi City to do labor every year."
As soon as they sat down, a group of local tycoons came to see Ju'er Khan's gift. Zhang Zhao announced a piece of good news.
This is indeed good news. The rule of Saman Persia in this area is very cruel. Buddhists have to pay an additional head tax that is approximately equal to the tithe tax, and Tianfang believers have to provide men to do labor.
"My Buddha is merciful! The Khan descends from heaven to save us!"
The faces of the Buddhist tycoons immediately lit up with joy. Not only the common people could not escape this tithe, but they, the tycoons, could not escape it either.
"Huh? What's the matter? If you believe in the Tianfang Sect, don't you thank me for your kindness?"
Zhang Zhao slowly turned his head and snorted with confusion from his nostrils. The expression on his face was already very unhappy.
A group of tycoons from the Tianfang Sect just stood up, but quickly knelt down again. Prince Sadid's father-in-law Sheikh had an inkling of Zhang Zhao's thoughts.
"Honorable Khan, we are all very grateful for Khan's kindness, but they are not sure whether Khan wants to collect tithes from Tianfang believers?"
"Tithe tax? Huh!" Zhang Zhao snorted coldly. He pointed at the rough clothes of a group of Tianfang tycoons with a look of disdain on his face.
"For you poor people who can't even afford cotton, how much can you get even if you collect the tithe?
Khan, when I want money, I always go directly to Bukhara to collect it from the emir. If I don’t have one million dinars, it’s not worth the trip. Will I charge you a tithe?”
This statement is really very Versailles, but it is not wrong. In future generations, poor mice in this place will cry, and it is not much better now.
"Guo Tiance, come in and let these country bumpkins open their eyes!" After saying that, Zhang Zhao waved to Guo Tiance.
After a while, dozens of gorgeous maids walked in. Each of them held a wooden tray in their hands, which was full of fine Jiangnan East Road silk and Sichuan brocade.
The attention of the wealthy people was immediately attracted. Whether it was the silk and Sichuan brocade on the wooden plate that was hard to find locally, or the delicate and gorgeous maids, they were all things they could not even imagine, making them look particularly rustic.
Some young people with low reputation have already lowered their heads and felt ashamed of themselves.
"The reward in this wooden plate is for each person. With the value of these brocades, how many years will it take you to pay the tithe? His Majesty the Khan has the world and needs to make money from you?"
Guo Tiance was even more arrogant and arrogant, just like anyone in heaven or earth.
This trick called money to open the way, and generous rewards were given, and a group of local tycoons immediately relaxed their vigilance.
This is a piece of brocade for each person. How can a Khan with such arrogance value the three melons and two dates at home.
