Chapter 2273: 0 years of grievances
After pondering for a while, Hassan said:
"Steven, since you know the history of the Ilkhanate and know the history of the Middle Ages so well, you should know the relationship between the Assassins and the Ilkhanate. We are endless enemies.
In the middle of the 13th century, when the Mongols marched west, we once received an assassination mission. The target person was Meng Ge, who had not yet become a Mongolian Khan, but that mission failed and we paid a heavy price.
After Meng Ge became a great khan, Pai Hulagu led the army to march west again. One of its purposes was to eliminate our Assassin faction. Hulagu established the Ilkhanate in Iran and Iraq in 1256.
After the establishment of the Khanate, Hulagu once proposed that as long as the Assassin faction surrendered, the safety of its members could be guaranteed. Under tremendous military pressure, the old people in the mountains led all the people to surrender and lay down their weapons.
Under the leadership of the old man in the mountains, more than 100 large and small castles of the Assassin faction all surrendered one after another. After the Mongols disarmed them, they destroyed all of the more than 100 castles and left none.
Alamut, the stronghold of our Assassin faction, was even razed to the ground by the Mongols. All property was looted. Xu Liegu then ordered that all the Assassin faction members who surrendered be killed.
The whole family of old people in the mountains has been killed, leaving no one behind! Hulagu killed all the Ismailis in Kuhistan on the grounds of conscripting militias, and the believers in other places did not escape the bad luck of being madly slaughtered.
In 1258, after Xu Liegu captured Baghdad, he ordered a massacre. Eight hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in Baghdad were massacred. The Tigris River was stained red. Our members who fled to Baghdad were massacred again.
After this series of brutal and **** crazy massacres, the Assassin faction, which had been established for more than two hundred years, almost completely collapsed. The land and huge wealth accumulated over the past two hundred years fell into the hands of the Mongols.
Coupled with the blows of other regimes and enemies, for hundreds of years since then, the Assassin faction has not slowed down. Today, we cannot reproduce the glory of the past and can only hide in the dark! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded slightly and said:
"About this period of history, I am fairly familiar with it. Needless to say, the Assassin faction after being slaughtered madly must regard the Ilkhanate as an enemy of life and death."
Hassan nodded vigorously, then gritted his molars and said:
"Yes, after a series of **** massacres, our Assassin faction became unending enemies with the Ilkhanate. After recuperating for a period of time, we launched an action of revenge.
We not only assassinated the princes, nobles and ministers of the Ilkhanate, as well as local officials, but also attacked various caravans of various sizes in the Ilkhanate. As long as we can avenge the hatred, the Assassins of the Assassin faction do everything.
It is a pity that after the massacre, the strength of the Assassin faction was greatly reduced, and it could not be compared with before. The threat to the Ilkhanate was also quite limited, so much so that many people thought that we were completely collapsed.
Although we were unable to severely damage the Ilkhanate, we still achieved some results. Most of the Chinese antique artworks you just saw were obtained from the caravans during that period, especially the porcelain.
As one of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire, the Il Khanate has always maintained close ties with the Central Empire in the East. Caravans keep coming and going, and various exquisite items from China are constantly being shipped to the Il Khanate.
Those caravans are the targets of our looting and massacre. In the process, we snatched a lot of gold and silver treasures, fine porcelain, and other items from the East, and hid them secretly.
In addition, in the process of assassinating the kings, nobles, ministers, and local officials of Ilhan, we also gained a lot. We robbed a lot of valuable things, some of which were also hidden.
The history of the Il Khanate is not long, only less than a hundred years. After that, it split into many countries and attacked each other. The square seal you mentioned just now was obtained by us when the Il Khanate fell.
When we first snatched those exquisite porcelains and other objects, they were scattered and hidden because they were not easy to realize, and in order to avoid attracting attention, and then attracted the Mongols' crazy pursuit.
With the passage of time, many of the hidden porcelain and other objects have disappeared, and the rest have gradually become antiques, but we are not professionals and do not understand their value."
"Wow! Those top antique artworks from China were originally you snatched from the Ilkhanate, and they have been hidden by you all the time. No wonder I have never seen them before!"
Ye Tian exclaimed, and secretly thanked him for his luck.
'S voice fell, Hassan immediately said:
"When I was in Berlin before, I heard about the terms of the transaction you made, and I thought of these hidden Chinese antique works of art. I would use them to trade and exchange them for Assassin's tokens.
After going back, we checked a lot of information, and found some hidden Chinese antique artworks one after another, and asked professionals to evaluate them, which are the ones you just saw.
Steven, you can choose some Chinese antique artworks to trade in the pair of sleeve swords of our Assassin school. Of course, I hope this is a fair deal of equal value."
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:
"You can rest assured, Hassan, this antique art transaction between us must be a fair deal that you and I wish. Didn't you also say that you have asked professionals to evaluate the Chinese antique art.
As for the value of these two swords in the sleeves, you are even more aware of it. In this way, there will be no problems with the transaction. Later I will select my favorite Chinese antique artworks from the video materials.”
"That's great, Steven, how do you plan to make the transaction? Is it in Portugal or another place? Are we bringing the Chinese antique art? Or are you bringing these two swords in the sleeve?
If possible, we would like to take away the two swords in the sleeve today, and then ship the antique Chinese artworks that you have selected, or ship them to your designated place to complete the transaction.”
Hassan continued, with eyes full of anticipation, the whole person suddenly became more excited.
Ye Tian shook his head gently, then smiled and said:
"I'm very sorry, Hassan, you can't take these two swords in your sleeves with you until the transaction is completed. In the next period of time, I will tie them to your arms. No one wants to take them away.
The exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar has not yet been completed. I cannot live without Portugal for the time being, so I can only choose another way of trading. You take out those Chinese antique artworks and give them to me.
The transaction location can be in Tehran, Iran, or in Hong Kong, China. Iran is your site. It should not be difficult for you to complete this antique art transaction at Tehran Airport.
Hong Kong is a free port and the territory of our Chinese people. With your Assassin’s energy, it should be no problem to ship a batch of Chinese antique artworks to Hong Kong. Our people will try our best to cooperate.
I hope that the transaction location is Hong Kong. As long as you ship those Chinese antique artworks to Hong Kong smoothly, I will send my staff to contact you and send the top antique art appraisal experts to appraise them.
As long as the Chinese antique works of art are authentic and the identification is correct, the transaction can be carried out. Then our people will transport all the Chinese antique works of art in the first time and directly transport them to Beijing.
After all those Chinese antique works of art are shipped to Beijing and put in a vault, you can come to Portugal to find me, and take this pair of Assassin tokens to complete the antique transaction between us.
Of course, in this way to complete a heavyweight antique transaction, the premise is that the two parties must trust each other, Hassan, I believe you also know me, I have never done anything to lose weight.
Because of the special nature of your Assassin faction, even me, I don’t want to provoke enemies like you, so you can rest assured that I will never set up your enemy for the sake of this pair of swords in the sleeves."
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Hassan fell into deep thought and did not respond immediately. The middle-aged Arab was a little anxious, but did not refute it.
After pondering for a moment, Hassan nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, just follow the method you said to trade. I believe you won't lose weight. In that case, we can only become enemies.
The transaction location can be Hong Kong. We will find a way to ship those Chinese antique artworks by chartered flights to Hong Kong as soon as possible to complete the antiques transaction in Hong Kong.
Wait for you to finish the identification and transport those Chinese antique artworks to Beijing, I will come back to this hotel again and take away the two swords in the sleeves that belong to us.
Steven, now you can choose your favorite Chinese antique art from the video, and then I will inform my staff and let them be prepared"
"Don't worry, Hassan, to be honest, I really like the top Chinese antique artworks that appear in the video, and I want to put them all in my pocket and turn them into my own collection.
Especially those Yuan blue and white porcelains. I am planning to build a private museum. I just need these valuable and exquisite Yuan blue and white porcelains. Since I came across it, I certainly don't want to miss it.
When I discovered the pair of swords in the sleeves of your Assassin school today, I also discovered many medieval antique relics in Arabic style, each of which is a valuable top antique relic.
Among them are antique artifacts from the Abbasid dynasty, various antique artifacts from the Fatimid and Ayub dynasties, as well as the Seljuk Empire and many other Arab dynasties.
Most of these antique relics are from the courts of various dynasties, and most of them are exquisite gold products. Not only are they valuable in the market, they are also valuable in historical research.
I have a proposal to exchange the medieval Arab antique artifacts in my hands for the Chinese antique artworks that you own. Of course, this is also a fair deal.
The area of activity of your Assassins is mainly the Middle East Arab region. Those medieval Arab antiques are in your hands, which are obviously easier to realize.
For me, those Chinese antique works of art are more meaningful. It can be said that this is an art transaction that has the best of both worlds, which is beneficial to both of us.
If you agree to this transaction method, as a show of sincerity, you can take away some medieval Arab antiques today without leaving any pledge."
Hearing this, Hassan and his subordinates rolled their eyes.
No need to pledge, the words are so beautiful! Since you are so generous, why don't you give us the two swords in the sleeves of the Assassin faction! That is the greatest sincerity!
At the same time they murmured secretly, Hassan and their eyes also flashed a hint of movement.
After a short pause, Hassan nodded and said:
"Steven, this kind of transaction method you said is very interesting, yes, it is beneficial to both of us, but it is better to let us look at the medieval Arab antique artifacts first, and then talk about the transaction."
"Okay, Hassan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You will be able to see those antique relics from various Arab dynasties in the Middle Ages soon"
Ye Tian nodded in response, and then instructed Jason to bring in the boxes dug up from the ground in the four mornings.
In a blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
The transaction has been negotiated, Hassan and the others stood up and prepared to leave, left the hotel, and went back to prepare for the next transaction.
When shaking hands and saying goodbye, Ye Tian smiled and said to Hassan:
"Hassan, I have something to remind you. Please restrain your people from doing anything in Portugal during this period of time. I have invited some top collectors to Tomar, many of whom are from the Arab region.
These top collectors are all my old friends and the owners of our company. They are here to participate in my private auction. I don't want them to have an accident during this trip to Portugal, which will affect my business.
Wait for them to leave Tomar and return to their respective countries and territories. What you do will have nothing to do with me. No matter how you fight, I will ignore it. I hope you can understand and cooperate with this matter. I don't want to go to war with you."
Hassan took a deep look at Ye Tian, then smiled and nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, I promise you that no matter what business we receive, we will not start operations in Portugal for a while, and I will restrain my people"
Afterwards, the two parties talked a few more words, Hassan and the others left and walked out of this luxurious suite.
