Chapter 291 Neighbors
In the room, Bayitash blushed and sweated on his forehead.
He thought carefully about Chen Shou's words, but in fact he knew in his heart that it made sense.
In 632, the sixth year of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Muhammad died. Because he did not clearly designate his heir during his lifetime, a conflict broke out in the Arab Empire for the Caliph (meaning the successor of the messenger of Allah and the political and religious leader of the empire). At this time, the spread of Islam had already included most of the Arabian Peninsula.
There were two major forces at that time: one was the elders of the northern Arab tribe (in the Hanzhi area) who focused on the traditional northern Arab tribes and Persian merchants on the Arabian Peninsula, and the other was the believers in the southern (in the Yemen area) who focused on Muhammad's own religious heritage.
They split into two factions and attack each other. Once they catch those who do not use factions, they will use the most cruel means to execute him.
Treating heresy is always more ruthless than treating pagans.
The Muslims in the north and the Muslims of Persians accused Sunnis of deleting a "hadith" that Muhammad confirmed Ali as the Caliph during his lifetime: they said that on December 18 of a certain year (the calendar of ***) in Gadihulmu, in front of many MS Lins, he held Ali with his hand and raised it up, saying: "I am the mullah of all believers (i.e., ***) (Arabic, meaning master), and so is Ali."
It is this simple thing that allows them to split a sect, after all, it is a power struggle.
Bayitash now faces such a choice. He can develop a new sect in the East, relying on the support of Holy Stone and Chen Shou. These believers will travel thousands of miles to join him, worship Holy Stone, and then become his most loyal subordinates.
"My friend, I choose to trust you."
Chen Shou breathed a sigh of relief. He had expected this result for a long time. This was not a person who was willing to fail.
Once his organization is established, it will be of great benefit to him. He just needs to leave a place to train them, arm them, and then he will have an armed force.
First, we can take advantage of their domestic battle for hegemony, and after success, we can place them in the Karakhan Dynasty to cause civil unrest so that we can take advantage of the opportunity.
Nan Tang's example tells him that only by messing up all the neighbors can he get the greatest benefits.
No united and strong neighbor is a good thing.
Even if Bayitash fails, it will have no effect on him. It is always beneficial to split a sect to cause internal strife. If you have the chance, splitting seven or eight more will be the best result.
After Baitash decided, he thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was difficult. Although the idea was very simple, to put it into action, you need to think about every detail.
Including how to find loopholes or ambiguities from scriptures, how to promote the world in 11 Islan, and how to attract believers to the East...
Chen Shou saw his concern and smiled and said, "I will send someone to discuss this matter with you, finalize the details, and buy it early."
What is the Jinyu Guard doing? The conspirators of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the Han literati are the best at this.
Anyway, they are doing their classics, not the Analects of Confucius, not the Zhou Yi, nor the Four Books and Five Classics.
