Chapter 522 Influence

Bile Ge surrendered to Zhao Song, and no soldiers were spent in Gaochang City. This was not a secret that could be hidden. Once the news came out, it soon spread throughout the Western Regions and the entire river.

Some of the fine works that lie dormant here have passed the news back as quickly as possible, and naturally there are people sent by Sikarah or Seljuk.

At this time, the sky had become darker.

In the palace of Sikara, Ma Heimu II was dealing with state affairs when he received the news.

As a semi-nova and semi-settled country, as the monarch of a country with a relatively stable power structure, Ma Kuroki II still had a lot of government affairs to handle every day. If he was willing to work hard all the time.

There were continuous patrol guards in the palace. Not long ago, with the support of the Seljuks, Ma Kuroki II, who ascended the Khan throne through violent means, did not have the courage to fall asleep peacefully without the guards surrounding him.

His father was killed by his uncle.

Ma Heimu II did not dare to blame his uncle at all, because his uncle was Sudan of the Seljuk Empire and the most powerful monarch in the entire river. Since childhood, his mother has been instilled with how great Ma Heimu is, and she can't even raise the heart to resist her uncle Sanjar!

Even he doesn't agree with the madness of his father, Mohammed bin Sulaiman.

Xikala has been a vassal of the Seljuks for many years, and his father is even the brother-in-law of the Empire Sudan. Why do you need to change another master?

Is it more pleasant to be a vassal of Zhao Song than to a vassal of the Seljuks?

Ma Heimu was puzzled by a hundred times. But this did not delay the matter being exposed. Sanjar killed his brother-in-law without hesitation and then pushed his nephew to the position.

A group of palace people have been severely cleaned from the palace. I may not be able to see black blood in that corner.

But Ma Heimu still dared not relax his vigilance. Who knows if there are any loyalty among the remaining people of his father or those who intend to avenge their blood relatives?

Ma Heimu's way of dealing with it is to work hard to manage state affairs.

This will allow him to familiarize himself with and control the entire Sikal Dynasty in a short period of time, and the second is to establish a good image of himself.

Even his godly uncle sent him a message saying that he had read the wrong person!

When Ma Heimu saw the letter, he was so excited that he was about to gaocao.

At this time, the information sent back from Gaochang was sent to him by a servant.

After delivering the information, the servant quickly retreated. Only Ma Heiki II looked at the information in his hand and became angry.

"Brother Bile really surrendered to Zhao Song!"

"Bang!"

The intelligence was thrown heavily on the case table. Ma Heimu II looked ashen, and he took a deep breath, resisted the fragrance of Bile Ge's mouth, and turned his mind with all his strength.

Although I had long expected that it would be a matter of time before the Gaochang Uighurs fell into the hands of the Central Plains dynasty, the Song people were able to succeed so easily. The time was so short and the situation was so stable that Ma Heimu II felt uncomfortable.

But now, no matter how much anger is, it will be useless. He needs to clarify the future direction of the situation in the river and think about the consequences.

Because in this way, the Gaochang Uighurs not only could not drag the Song people down, but could in turn become a great help for the Song people to enter the river.

One positive and one negative, one plus and one subtract, the difference will be huge.

Ma Heimu calmed down and no longer felt angry. Instead, he felt a lot of worries.

The Song people were originally an extremely powerful force, or the Han people were a powerful force.

Although the Battle of Talas has been around for a few hundred years, the peerless style left by the Li Tang army in the Tianfang world is still clearly engraved in his mind.

That was ten times the strength of the Tang army, and there was also the traitor of the Geluo people as an insider. Abbas's army had defeated Gao Xianzhi's 20,000 Tang army, but even so, Gao Xianzhi could still lead thousands of remaining soldiers to escape from the battlefield.

Back then, the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty shocked the entire Tianfang!

Because Abu and Ziad led the Tianfang army in the Battle of Talas, the coalition forces of various countries in the river gathered based on the elite troops of Khorasan, the birthplace of the Abbasid Dynasty.

Their combat power represents the combat power of the main force of the Tianfang World.

But the result was so painful!

The army ten times more than the enemy, waiting for the enemy to advance to more than 700 miles, was still waiting for the enemy to go straight to the battlefield. After many days of fierce battle, they still had to rely on the Geluo people's counterattack in the last battle to defeat the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty.

That is simply to say that if the two armies compete fairly, the Tianfang troops would not be the opponent of the Tang army at all.

Ma Heimu had to have a doubt. Even if he admired the Seljuk Empire, he had to have doubts about the question of "whether Seljuk soldiers can resist the Song army."

This issue can be directly linked to the life and death of Xikala.

The Central Plains army has made a comeback after nearly four hundred years. A dynasty that has just wiped out the enemy from all corners, a prosperous country, and a strong heart, and a strong army sent by a powerful empire that solved all future problems and hidden dangers...

Which is stronger, who is stronger, or the Li Tang army back then?

After all, the people who fell in this army were famous, the famous Dangxiang people and the Jurchens who were famous in the river.

The latter destroyed the once arrogant Khitan Liao in just a few years. Now Yelu Dashi, who is now intimidating the river, is just a defeated general under the Jurchens, and his soul is wandering under the cauldron...

But such a powerful emerging empire was easily erased by the Song army.

A bad premonition arose in Ma Heimu's heart.

So much worries suppressed his anger towards Biller.

After a long time, Ma Heimu got up and left the palace, and led his followers to the military camp outside the city. His chest seemed to be pressed by something, and he was breathless. At this time, only the army and force could relieve some of the heavy pressure in his heart.

When he returned to the palace from the military camp, Ma Heimu's pressure was still not small, but he saw the way forward and saw clearly the direction of his journey!

Next, his focus will be on stabilizing society and restoring the army. The former will give him solid foundation, and the specific approach is to delegate power to local Iqta.

Iqta is a military fief system that is universally accepted throughout the day. However, unlike the fief system in Western Europe in contemporary times, Iqta does not have hereditary nature. The feudal lords who obtained Iqta had the right to collect heavy land rent from the peasants, but they had no land ownership and could not be hereditary.

However, when all systems were born, the masters always had too perfect expectations for them. When time came to this moment, the shortcomings of the Iqta system, which had been born for hundreds of years, were undoubtedly exposed. There are local powerful factions in the Tianfang countries that transformed the fining land into hereditary. Once this happens, feudal separatist forces of all sizes will be formed, and they can even compete with the central dynasty.

This is naturally the case in Xikala, and the situation is quite serious.

Ma Heimu II didn't want to compromise, but now he feels that he should be more flexible and flexible. In this way, the consequences will be so good, but now, it will definitely win over the hearts of the people and get strong support from local powerful factions.

In this way, even if his ascension to the throne is criticized, the situation will stabilize!

Then there is the recovery of the army, especially the Gulam Guards and Ikta heavy cavalry who belonged directly to him.

The Iqta heavy cavalry is a military force that all the Tianfang dynasties must rely on. Otherwise, why do Iqta system do?

As for the Gulam Guards, at the peak of the Karakhan Dynasty, it was an invincible army that fought against Central Asia. It played a huge role in the process of the Karakhan eradicating the Persian Saman Dynasty and the southern border of Khotan. The number of people also expanded from the initial 2,000 to 5,000, 7,000, and even 15,000 in the early eleventh century.

But with the split between East and West Kara, the Gulam Guards disappeared.

Especially the Sikal people's power declined. After surrendering to the Seljuks, the Gulam Guards, which belonged to the royal family, gradually shrank to only three or two thousand. The previous coup was not large in scale, but some people were always affected. Ma Heimu knew very well that his guards had not even arrived.
