Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After Tubo, Western Turks and other countries were announced to have been captured by the Tang Dynasty, King Harsha of the Harsha Dynasty was in a daze when he heard the news.

Tubo, which almost pushed the Harsha Dynasty to a desperate situation, was just gone?Only Datang is left?When he turned over the map, King Harsha discovered that there were no other enemies around the entire Harsha Dynasty, except for the small countries on the barren land to the south of the Harsha Dynasty.

The entire Harsha Dynasty has been surrounded by the Tang Dynasty. This situation... It is impossible to say that King Harsha has no idea in his heart.

But what if you have an idea?They were able to fight against Tibet because the Tang Dynasty traded with them behind the scenes and provided them with a lot of supplies. Although the Harsha Dynasty also paid a lot of gold, silver and many ancient cultural relics for this. .

But it doesn't matter, King Harsha doesn't care at all.

Of course he doesn't care.

Whether it is the Jieri Dynasty or other countries on this continent, they all value religion and not history. On this continent, history does not matter at all. No one cares, and they do not record it. They only care about it. religion.

Unless a certain historical period or something is related to religion, and then it is recorded in religious classics, it is possible that it will eventually be passed down.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Li Ke's last life, the uninterrupted history of this area of ​​India is not at all due to India itself, but the history of Chinese dynasties that recorded them, so part of their history, as well as the names of each dynasty, And the chronological order of the existence of the dynasty can be correctly numbered.

If there were no Chinese historical records, their own history would be in chaos. There is even a lot of history that is specifically based on religious needs, and then a certain country, a certain hero, a certain character is fictitious in religion, and in the end it can be regarded as history.

So their history... highlights a freewheeling.

Under such circumstances, almost all of their culture is concentrated in religion and mythology, and the culture that has been passed down for a long time is also closely related to religion and mythology.

However, there is also an advantage to emphasizing religion, that is, they have a large amount of gold and silver and other valuable materials that have been cast into things related to religion, and they are also used to plundering, or the people at the bottom actively donate these gold and silver.

Therefore, there is not a lot of gold and silver left on this continent.

King Harsha didn't care about this. What he cared about was, what if Datang attacked? ...What else can be done?

They couldn't even defeat Tubo, let alone the Tang Dynasty, which was countless times more powerful than Tubo. For this reason, King Harsha immediately sent his envoys, but not to the Tang Dynasty.

He was afraid that before his envoys could reach the Tang Dynasty, their country would be destroyed by the local generals of the Tang Dynasty.

He directly contacted the top general here, the general named Pei Xingjian.

After contacting the other party, something surprised him. The other party said that Datang was not interested in attacking the Harsha Dynasty, as long as the Harsha Dynasty allowed Datang's caravans to do business with them.

King Harsha was stunned by the other party's request, but he naturally agreed very quickly.

Doing business?There is such a good thing?After Tianzhu has accepted all kinds of exquisite materials from Datang, they can no longer live without them. They are afraid that Datang will not sell them to them, but now they still want to sell them?What else can you say? !

Of course it has to be allowed.

But before, we were doing business with the officials of the Tang Dynasty, but now we have to do business with the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty.

Not only King Harsha, but all the Kshatriyas of the Harsha Dynasty were also excited. As the ruling class of the Harsha Dynasty, they were nobles, so of course they wanted to do business.

But what they didn't expect was that the trade merchants they came into contact with from the Tang Dynasty were actually slaves!

This made all the Kshatriyas a little stunned and surprised. Of course they were no strangers to slaves. To them, Shudras were slaves.

As for the Dalits at the lower level, they are slaves among slaves!

Now that the Tang Dynasty wanted slaves, of course they would directly sell these slaves at the lowest level, but when they saw it clearly, they found it a bit difficult to handle.

First of all, the Tang Dynasty did not have any requirements for these slaves. First of all, the Tang Dynasty gave them respect and did not distinguish them according to strong laborers, the elderly, and children.

Slaves of all ages are the same, and Datang can even add money if they are slaves in a family unit, because Datang merchants have said that slaves who come in a family unit are not easy to escape.

This reason was naturally justified, although they felt that these slaves did not dare to escape.

But of course they will not take the initiative to point it out, because in their opinion, it is best for Datang to give money. Why should they take the initiative to point this out?

It’s just that the Tang Dynasty stratified slaves according to their skin color. The darker the skin, the lower the price. These slaves were called Kunlun slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and at the bottom of the entire Harsha Dynasty, those who were "untouchable" "The people" are the aboriginal people on this continent, short stature and dark-skinned untouchables.

The number of these people is not actually the largest, but they are the least concerned. Originally, they wanted to sell them, but now it seems that it would be too much of a loss to sell these people.

Because the money given by Datang was too little.

During the long time when the Aryans ruled this continent, many people from the Vaishya and Shudra classes "played" with these Dalits, and many people with less dark skin were born, but these people were also Untouchable.

There are also some who have become Shudras, and their skin is not that dark. It seems that these people can be sold.

These Kshatriyas already had a plan in mind as to what kind of people they should sell.

But they can't sell too many people, after all, they need people to do their own work.

Of course, Datang's "merchants" were somewhat aware of their thoughts, but it didn't matter, Datang didn't buy them for anything else anyway.

However, like the Harsha Dynasty, the ruling classes and nobles of Sasanian Persia, Arabia, and Byzantium also received requests from the Tang Dynasty to purchase "slaves."

These three countries were also a little surprised and surprised. After all, the Tang Dynasty had never bought slaves before, but the slaves were no strangers to them either.

Because apart from Arabia, the other two countries also have caste systems, and Tianzhu's caste system was passed from them.

Therefore, there are naturally people at the lowest level in these two countries, and the people at the lowest level are also slaves among the high-level Brahmins and Kshatriyas.
