ОглавлениеHow the Seljuk Turks appeared on the historical scene
Brothers by faith to replace brothers by blood. What’s important here.
Inability to form a strategic alliance (a marker of modern savages) it’s not always a bad thing. History knows many savage victories. (The savage who was behind can outrun any cultured smartass even now. This is a frequent occurrence. But the nations themselves lose from this). This requires favorable conditions. But for this, firstly, the collapse of the system is needed, when problems in any state and even in the empire escalated. The invasion of the mass of savages may look treacherous, as if the vultures feel the decomposition of the «corpse». That’s not so. This does not mean that the savages did not have problems either. At this moment, the whole planet is covered with problems (at the same time, if I may say so, the situation: the global crisis is not only modernity, it has always been like this, but then there was no globality to make a clear picture out of chaos). In the state, everything is much more complicated. Savages depended on nature, any jute (when not the steppe fodder for cattle) and end – savages attacked neighbors. At this moment, all the conditional neighboring savages have no less problems – it’s not interesting to anyone. So, where to go? For the empire! Oh, how scary! But hunger is not a kind aunt. So the Hyksos came to the Egyptians and captured Egypt of the XII dynasty – this is perhaps the first case of the nomads’ luck. Then the Visigoths entered Near Asia, the province of Rome – this is the second significant case – de facto, the collapse of the Roman Empire began. The Roman Empire is no joke. However, it was the barbarians who made the onslaught. Further – more).
What is the difference between the problems among the «brothers» and among the aristocracy. The crisis in the empire is usually associated with elite showdowns, and the brothers fight just like that (somewhere in the ass it boiled over – it started playing and the brothers fought – the usual savage case). The early feudal state, even great empires perished under the blows of tribal unions, including nomads, which created a precedent for the «greatness» of the barbarians. This plays into the hands of modern nationalists: they say we were so great, we took Rome. No one is interested in the reasons. The reasons for the superiority of a friendly gang of robbers over the gentlemen. That all barbarians have to go exactly the same way from barbarism to civilization is no longer interesting to anyone. The main thing is to tickle your complexes and your own vanity).
As we already know, not only the early feudal states, but also later communities are attempts by some of the «brothers» to prove that they are far from brotherhood, have cooled down from kinship feelings, therefore they are fed up with envy and jealousy of their fellow tribesmen, that they are now not brothers, but an aristocracy, a privileged stratum. There is only one remedy against this – to rise above the clan, above the people (all the leaders, even the modern Elbasy still do this, this is not a trivia for you, the zeref’s reflection has been ruling for 5000 years). If strategic diplomacy appears in the form of dynastic barks, this is already the handwriting of the aristocracy (in any form of its manifestation, we want to create a planetary elite today – A.B.) It’s better to let an equal envy and be jealous of your equal, although it’s not so vile.
The crisis in a blood-related family turns into domestic fights. In the empire, it is a war of a co-organized army fighting on science.
The crisis in the empire is a battle of equals, a showdown within the elite. For it is not always the aristocracy that can prove its rights to power. There were the most gifted, but deprived (by age, birth and other conditional nastiness). The most egregious example of the Zerot’s early feudal dictate is the ignoring of the Prophet Muhammad by the tribal elite of the Quraysh. But in order to rise above all the Zerots – early feudal proud people need glory, they need exploits (because glory and exploits are an early feudal ideology, the empire also needs seizures so that all underdeveloped barbarian peoples work for the empire) Therefore, the Zerots are proud, and we are talking about those who got rid of the envy of the «brothers» of the community, – from the jealousy of the people, they went to war, they went to seize neighboring territories. Do you understand it? Barbarian savages attacked from hunger to feed their people, their brothers, and the feudal lords of Zerots go to conquest for the sake of the imperial idea, that is, from satiety (nothing has changed in 5000 years) and for glory. This is the perpetuum mobile of imperial existence. Every emperor knew: if you sit quietly, the people will decompose by themselves.
Beat strangers so that your own are afraid.
The elites not only fought with each other, sometimes slaughtering rival clans, no worse than barbarians. They also marched against their neighbors according to the laws of the empire. It is a double-edged sword. It is necessary to win, it is impossible to lose, trophies and lands had to be distributed to their people, and to gain glory for themselves. Following this golden rule, Byzantium and Sasanian Iran (the Second Persian Empire) fought each other tirelessly. For 400 years there was an organized fight. The war went on with varying success.
Byzantium and Iran beat each other so much that they did not notice how the new early feudal community, created on faith, was ready to interrupt the existence of both Byzantium and Iran. It turned out that there were more contradictions in Sasanian Iran than in Byzantium, although Byzantium had bled itself dry by the war with Iran. The glorious «brothers» Persians were so conditionally envious of each other and conditionally were jealous that they lost their independence forever. Why? Because at that very time, the prophet Muhammad, rejected by his relatives, managed to organize an alliance of Muslim Arab brothers. Here it is, this community! The imperial idea of the earth has given way to the imperial faith (here it is necessary to note the sequence of evolution: the brotherhood of blood is replaced by the solidarity of the aristocracy, the solidarity of the elites, aka the union of feudal lords, which means that instead of the local pasture and instead envious the brothers of Zerefs, a large land appears – the empire of the Zerots. The Persians have forever forgotten Zoroastrianism and have become Muslims. An ideology in the form of faith is often added to the imperial idea (the idea of the earth). Often there is a composite imperial idea consisting of several elements – land, faith and a leader, as, for example, in tsarist Russia they fought for faith, the tsar and the fatherland.
In the 7th century, the Arabs got Iran literally for nothing. (Similarly, ancient Egypt was a gift to the Hyksos. Ancient Rome was not so easy, but still the great Roman legions could not resist the onslaught of the barbarians. Because barbarians served in the Roman legions. Any empire, as well as a gang of envious ambitious brothers, can be taken only from the inside, through the decomposition of elites).
For 200 years, the Persians have completely become Muslim, but they have not forgotten that they are Persians. The first quarter of the 9th century is interesting because new governments, new states appeared on the site of the Abbasid caliphate, but these new formations were headed by Persians, who were not immediately recognizable. Persians with names in the Arabic manner. (The very fall of the Abbasids proves once again that the brothers, no matter where they live, no matter what they sing and no matter how they pray, will still fight)
But if there is a crisis in the empire… So the new envious brothers want to conquer this empire, that is, to finish it off.
The dynasties of the Ghaznavids, Samanids, and Karakhanids formed their own states.
So the Seljuk Turks come on the scene.
