Chapter 550: There is no distinction between education and discrimination
Molavi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The expression on his face immediately changed from expectation to shock.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: it turns out this is called tea!
What have you been drinking for all these years?
Tree leaves?
Or rotten tree leaves!
Looking at the tea cup again, I finally understood what oriental exquisite porcelain is called. It is really beautiful. When you hold it in your hand, it is warm and delicate, just like the skin of a nun...
No, it should be the skin of a young nun. After all, it has been a long time since young nuns came to the church.
"Rui, please tell me the general situation in Tehran in detail."
"yes!"
Rui finished the tea in the cup and smashed it in his mouth, looking like he still had something to say.
Seeing this, Beilin picked up the teapot and filled it for him.
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
Rui was worthy of having seen the world, holding the cup in both hands to receive it.
"The city of Tehran was originally called Ragha. It was first established by the Persians. When it was prosperous, it once had hundreds of thousands of people and governed a large area of surrounding land. Now there is only an isolated city left. The population... is about seven or eight thousand, nominally.
It belongs to the Ottomans, but no matter which force comes over, it will be looted, and the people will suffer terribly."
Zhu Qizhen was thoughtful and asked: "This place is still more than a thousand miles away from the city of Herat. It stands to reason that the main force of the Timur Khanate would not come so far to plunder. What you just said
What are the main forces?"
"Right here, there is a tribe."
Rui pointed to the location on the southwest bank of the Caspian Sea and said: "The leader is called Shah. He calls himself the Black Sheep Kingdom. He once submitted to the Timur Khanate. Later, when the Aries Kingdom was at war with the Timur Khanate, he took the opportunity to occupy part of the Timur Khanate.
The territory of the Murg Khanate."
"What a black sheep and white sheep thing, it's so damn messy!"
"The original meaning of Muslims is people who obey God. Goats are docile by nature and will not be killed even if they are slaughtered. This is most consistent with Muslim teachings. The names of the Black Sheep Kingdom and the White Sheep Kingdom come from this, but the leaders of these two countries are not
Mild and docile, he fights everywhere all the year round.”
Rui carefully introduced the surrounding situation and summed it up in one sentence: Warlords are fighting.
The more Zhu Qizhen listened, the more confused he became. This place was much more complicated than he imagined. However, the purpose of this trip was to reopen the Silk Road. No matter how complicated the problem was, it had to be solved.
"Gentlemen, please tell me what you think!"
Li Zhen couldn't listen anymore after hearing the emperor's question. When she heard the emperor's question, she took the lead and said: "Never mind the black sheep and white sheep, that's it!"
"You must do it, but you can't do it recklessly!"
Bai Lin expressed a different opinion: "I think it is better to take over the management of Tehran first, and then use it as a stronghold, and then expand to the surrounding areas... No, it is to recover the land!"
"Everywhere in the world is the kingdom's territory. Whether it is the countries in the Western Regions or any land in the world, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If these rebellious ministers and traitors know each other and surrender obediently, the emperor can consider granting them official positions at his discretion. If they resist to the end, then
Deter by force."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, he must be a scholar, and his words are always so reasonable and well-founded.
"I also mean the same thing. The situation here is complicated. It is easy to defeat one force. But to completely take back the Western Region, just relying on three thousand people to fight is not enough. So according to what the Qing family said, take over this place first and establish
The Tehran Metropolitan Commandery Department selects city defense commanders and officials in charge of civil affairs, and I appoint them on the spot."
Everyone present was his confidant, and everyone was very efficient in doing things. He immediately selected a team of candidates.
The deputy commander of the Three Thousand Battalions, Yingcheng Bosun Jixian was appointed as the commander and was in charge of military affairs. Wang Yue, a Jinshi scholar from the Academy of Sciences, was appointed as the commanding general and was in charge of civil affairs. Jinyiwei Baihu Wantong was appointed as the commanding official and was in charge of prisons and intelligence.
Sun Ji's ancestor was Sun Yan, a general in the Hongwu period. He participated in the battle to conquer Annan during the Yongle period. Now he serves as the deputy commander of the Three Thousand Battalion. Both his military ability and personal prestige are sufficient for this commander.
Wang Yue was a Jinshi for the 19th year of the orthodox year, the same year that witnessed the advent of the electric light. He had unique attainments in architecture and had been holding an important position in the Academy of Sciences.
Jinyiwei Baihu Wantong is the younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui, and is a newly promoted national relative.
A new team has been formed, and the biggest problem now is... there is no one!
Zhu Qizhen brought 3,000 battalions with him, plus students from the Academy of Sciences, Jin Yiwei and logistics personnel, the total number was less than 3,500 people. Moreover, the team had just arrived in Tehran and was still far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Jixian said: "Your Majesty, I thought we could recruit troops from the local area."
"It's okay, it's okay, that's it..."
Of course, Zhu Qizhen knew that he could organize manpower from the local area. The problem was that the people here did not speak Chinese and were devout Muslims. A small number would be fine, but if there were a large number of people, I don't know if there would be any trouble.
When Wang Yue saw this, he said: "I know the emperor's concerns, but I agree with Uncle Ying Cheng's proposal. Since we want to stay here for a long time, we cannot treat the local people as foreigners. Confucius said, there is a teaching
There is no distinction between aristocrats and commoners, no distinction between national boundaries and nationalities. As long as they are willing to learn, they can understand the way of enlightenment and become subjects of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but admired greatly. Jinshi was just different. Judging from his talent and learning, and his structure, in comparison, he, the emperor, seemed narrow-minded.
"Follow the advice of the Qing family, call the local people to join the army, and organize manpower to build the command office as soon as possible."
After that, he looked at Lu Yi and said: "I came here for the first time. Since I want to spread my kindness, I need to start with education. Only by writing with the same text and driving with the same track can we work together. I see that you speak Chinese well.
, I will reward you as a teaching officer to spread Chinese studies."
Lu Yi was startled at first, and immediately fell to his knees and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, I... I obey your decree!"
At this moment, he thought to himself, it seems that it is important to go out more and master a foreign language when you are young!
Seeing that everyone was discussing for a long time and everyone was very excited, Molavi couldn't sit still and pulled Rui to ask.
Rui explained to him, and Molavi became even more confused. Why did it become the territory of the Ming Dynasty?
The key is...what should I do?
I am the Pope and I am the biggest here. Have you asked me for my opinion?
Zhu Qizhen asked: "What did he say?"
Rui looked embarrassed and said: "Molawi said...he disagreed."
"Who is he?"
Hearing this, Sun Jixian lowered his face and grabbed the collar of Molavi's clothes.
It's a pity that this dress was really in tatters, and it was torn immediately when he grabbed it.
Sun Jixian looked at the rag in his hand, and Molavi looked at his naked body, both of them lost in thought at the same time.
