Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mighty Great Food Empire Later, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he personally compiled this song "Qin King Breaking Array Music" into a dance, and then after the processing and sorting of court artists, it became a huge, magnificent large-scale music and dance.
The original tune is mixed with the tone of the turtle, which is tactful and beautiful, high and very appealing.
At the same time, there is a large court band accompaniment, the big drum shook the sky, the sound of hundreds of miles, the momentum is majestic, moving the heavens and the earth.
The crowd of onlookers was even more shocked, don't want it.
"It's majestic music, even more uplifting than what I heard yesterday."
In the crowd gathered by foreign merchants, a merchant from the Western Regions asked: "It's just that I seem to have heard the style of our Qiuci music in this music, could it be that this "Qin Wang Breaking Array Music" borrows the characteristics of Qiuci musical instruments?"
” "It's not just the style of the turtles, it seems that there are also the characteristics of our big food music, and I also hear the grassland style."
A big food merchant who wrapped himself tightly explained: "The Tang Dynasty embraced all rivers, absorbed the essence of the Quartet, and was eclectic, so that this "King Qin Breaking Array Music" appeared. ” "It makes sense, this is Datang, this is Huaxia......
Sure enough, it is a place that everyone dreams of.
A Persian merchant also lamented: "There is a saying among our Zoroastrian followers that there are three places that one must visit in this life, one is ChakChak (one of the holy places of Zoroastrianism, according to legend, in 637 AD, when the Arabs came to kill him, Nikbanuh, the last princess of the Sassanid Empire, fled to the cliff, looked desperately at the approaching pursuers at the bottom of the mountain, and begged Ahura Mazda, the god of light, to open the mountain for protection.
When the mountain opened, Nikbanuh felt that he was too dirty to step in, and the stones on the high dripping down made a ChakChak sound, washing the princess and quenching her thirst.
Of course, this is a legend, and the real situation is that the army of the Great Food climbed the cliff, *** and killed the princess), because here you can be redeemed; The other is Yazd (another holy place of Zoroastrianism, the pearl of the desert), where you can cleanse your soul, and the third is the Tang Dynasty, because here, you can find all the knowledge in the world. ” The big food *** also nodded and said: "Our Mu Sheng also once said, 'Although learning is far away in China, it should be sought', such a thing as 'learning is far away in China', Datang is indeed blessed, and the people here are as industrious as we *** - it's a pity that such a treasure land has already become the territory of Buddhism and Taoism, but I am afraid that I will not be able to carry forward the ideas of the Holy Religion, let alone spread the glory of the Holy Saint." ” "This may be nonsense here, is it possible that you are still ready to tell your caliph and start a war with the Tang Dynasty?"
The Persian merchant scoffed, not at all interested in the Great Food Merchant.
If you want to say who hates cannibalism the most in this world, it is the Persians, how strong was the second Persian empire?
Dominate West Asia, span Asia, Europe and Africa, and be a proper hegemon.
However, now the position of this overlord has been provoked by the big cannibals, and more importantly, Persia is not the opponent of this madman who has been armed with a brain by religion, after many wars, the former Persian Empire has long lost its former glory, and was beaten by the Great Food Empire with blood, and most of the land has been lost, and it can only live in the old nest to survive, very aggrieved.
Because of the relationship between the two countries, the Persians and the Great Cannibals have long become enemies like fire and water, which means that the two sides have restrained themselves on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, in Datang, whether it is Persia or Dashi, they all support their respective spokespersons in secret, and the two sides fight openly and secretly, in addition to killing people, they are almost doing everything to discredit each other, in order to reduce the status of the other party in the minds of Datang and completely stink each other.
So quarrels and the like, in fact, in the struggle between the two sides, it is just commonplace, and when the Persians and the big cannibals meet together, it is strange that they do not quarrel.
"Do you want to die?"
The Great Food Merchant immediately felt provoked: "A slave who is about to lose his country, what qualifications do you have to provoke the Great Great Food Empire?"
Is it just your fragile army?
No kidding.
If it weren't for the fact that our Great Food Empire was also at war elsewhere, if we had attacked only one place with all our might, do you think you would have survived to this day?
No matter which enemy it is, it has long been drowned under the iron hooves of the warriors of the Great Food Empire. ” The face of the Byzantine merchant next to "......" suddenly darkened, and the other battlefield that the big food merchant said referred to Byzantium, and he scolded everyone.
However, he had nothing to say, because the Great Food Empire at this time was indeed very fierce.
The Great Food Empire arose in the Arabian Peninsula, and after the unification of the Arabian Peninsula, the Arab Empire took shape after the ideas of Muhammad armed the Arab brains and made them aggressive.
After the formation of the Arab Empire, the caliphs, who were the successors of the Prophet, launched a campaign of expansion that lasted for more than 100 years in order to consolidate their rule and meet the Arab demands for trade routes and land.
Under the banner of the Eagle Banner, the nomads of the desert began an operation to conquer the world, first of all, to unify the Arabian Peninsula.
Arabia is a peninsula with three seas, and after the conquest here, the great cannibals have no enemies on the east and west sides.
At this time, if you want to expand outward, you can only go in the direction of north.
After resolving the brief internal turmoil, the first caliph Bakr launched an expansion war against the Syrian side and easily captured the place.
Spurred on by the great victory, the second caliph Umar Umar launched a campaign of conquest unprecedented in Arab history, but the small states of Western Asia were almost all conquered by the great cannibals, and they had only two goals left to expand.
At this time, there were two huge empires in northern Arabia, one called Sassanid Persia, also known as the Second Persian Empire, and the other called Byzantium, that is, the Eastern Roman Empire.
Both empires were giants of the time, and their status in Europe and West Asia was no less than that of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of East Asians.
Let's not talk about Byzantium, it has been introduced before, this is an old empire that has been inherited for thousands of years, with a deep heritage, although it is weak, but it is obviously not something that the big cannibals who have just unified can provoke.
As for the Sassanid Empire, this is also known as the Second Persian Empire, although it is not as powerful as the First Empire, but it is also destroying many strong enemies, and it has been established for more than 400 years.
