如果阿莱克修斯一世面对的不是罗姆苏丹国而是一堆相对独立的突厥部落会怎么样?

回答
如果阿莱克修斯一世 faced not the Sultanate of Rum, but a collection of relatively independent Turkic tribes, the geopolitical landscape and the unfolding of Byzantine history would be dramatically altered. This shift from a centralized, albeit fractured, Islamic state to a mosaic of tribal confederations would necessitate a fundamentally different approach from Byzantium, leading to a complex and unpredictable chain of events.

Firstly, the absence of a unified Sultanate of Rum would mean the disappearance of a single, overarching enemy. Instead of dealing with a singular diplomatic and military entity capable of fielding organized armies and negotiating treaties, Byzantium would find itself confronting a multitude of disparate groups. These tribes, while sharing a common cultural and religious background, would likely possess their own internal rivalries, leadership disputes, and varying degrees of interest in Byzantine territories.

Impact on Byzantine Strategy and Diplomacy:

Fractured Opposition: The primary advantage for Byzantium would be the potential to exploit existing tribal divisions. Byzantine diplomacy, historically adept at playing various powers against each other, would find fertile ground here. Instead of a unified front, Alexios could employ a "divide and conquer" strategy. This might involve:
Bribes and Subsidies: Offering financial incentives or land grants to specific tribes to either remain neutral or actively fight against their rivals.
Strategic Alliances: Forming temporary pacts with certain tribes against others, much like Byzantium had done with various steppe peoples in its past. This would require a deep understanding of tribal loyalties and feuds.
Leveraging Religious Differences: While the majority of these tribes would be Muslim, there might be subtle differences in their interpretations or levels of fervor that Byzantium could exploit. Furthermore, if any preIslamic or minority faiths persisted, they could also be used as points of leverage.

Intelligence Gathering: The Byzantine intelligence network would need to be significantly enhanced and more nuanced. Understanding the internal politics, leadership structures, and military capabilities of each individual tribe would be paramount. This would involve a vast network of spies, informants, and possibly even embedded agents within tribal communities.

Military Engagements: Military campaigns would likely be more localized and less focused on pitched battles against a unified army. Instead, Byzantium might face:
Raiding Parties: The primary threat would likely be frequent, opportunistic raids by smaller tribal units into Byzantine borderlands. These would require a more reactive and welldistributed defensive force, rather than a large concentration of troops on a single front.
Guerilla Warfare: Tribal tactics would likely favor hitandrun attacks, ambushes, and rapid movements across difficult terrain. Byzantine heavy infantry and cavalry might struggle to engage effectively against such mobile and elusive opponents.
Siege Warfare: If any tribes managed to consolidate and capture fortified positions, Byzantium would still need to conduct sieges. However, the nature of these sieges might differ, as tribal forces might not be as adept at defending wellestablished fortifications as a settled Sultanate.

Internal Byzantine Adjustments:

Strengthening Border Defenses: The long eastern frontier would require a more robust and flexible system of fortifications. This might involve establishing more numerous but smaller frontier forts, manned by local levies and Byzantine regulars, capable of responding quickly to incursions.
Economic Impact: While not facing the direct taxation or tribute demands of a Sultanate, Byzantium would still incur significant costs in maintaining these border defenses and potentially paying subsidies to allied tribes. The disruption of trade routes by raiding parties could also impact the economy.
Military Reforms: Alexios's existing reforms, focused on strengthening the Byzantine army, would still be relevant. However, the emphasis might shift slightly towards lighter, more mobile units that could counter tribal cavalry and skirmishers. The pronoia system, granting land in exchange for military service, could be extended and adapted to encourage loyal border populations to form defensive militias.

LongTerm Consequences:

Protracted Instability: The absence of a Sultanate of Rum might lead to a longer period of frontier instability for Byzantium. Instead of a more defined threat, there would be a constant, lowlevel pressure from numerous tribal groups, making longterm peace and security more elusive.
Potential for Tribal Consolidation: Conversely, if Byzantium failed to manage these tribes effectively, it could inadvertently foster the conditions for a new, stronger tribal confederation to emerge from the chaos. A particularly charismatic leader or a shared grievance against Byzantium could unite disparate tribes into a formidable force.
Impact on the Crusades: The dynamics of the Crusades would also be altered. Without the Sultanate of Rum as a clear target, the early Crusades might have had a different focus, perhaps pushing further east or encountering different political entities in Anatolia. The nature of the Crusader states themselves might also change, as their interaction would be with a fractured tribal landscape rather than a more unified, established kingdom.
Cultural and Religious Exchange: The interactions between Byzantium and these tribes would be more organic and less statecontrolled. This could lead to a different kind of cultural and religious exchange, with a greater emphasis on localized interactions and perhaps less formal integration.

In essence, facing a multitude of independent Turkic tribes would transform the challenge from a singular, strategic problem into a complex, multifaceted issue of frontier management. It would demand a greater degree of diplomatic finesse, intelligence gathering, and adaptability in military strategy from the Byzantine Empire. The outcome would be far less predictable, with the potential for both greater exploitation of internal divisions and the risk of fueling the rise of new, unforeseen threats.

阿莱克修斯一世面对的“罗姆苏丹国”,其实就是一大堆突厥部落联盟中最强大的一个部落而已,只不过他们身上流着塞尔柱家族的血,理论上拥有大塞尔柱帝国的保护而已。

尤其是苏莱曼在塞尔柱家族的内战中兵败身死后,继承人阿尔斯兰王子被抓去波斯,所谓的“罗姆中央政府”已经基本不存在了,只有一些依然效忠于苏莱曼和他子孙的加齐武士,假借塞尔柱王朝的名义,依然盘踞在尼西亚地区而已。

“罗姆苏丹国”小亚细亚东部有达尼什曼德王朝、门居切克王朝、萨尔图吉王朝等等诸多突厥人军阀,内部大量亚美尼亚、基督教土豪和突厥部落,就连“朝庭”里不带军队出门,都无法直接和波斯沟通了。

之后大塞尔柱帝国贤相尼扎姆·穆勒克在波斯的尼哈万德附近被阿萨辛派暗杀,葬于伊斯法罕,一个月后苏丹马立克沙也去世,大塞尔柱帝国随之解体,陷入内战。

阿尔斯兰王子成功的逃出伊斯法罕回到了尼西亚,重新统治了罗姆苏丹国,这些人才找到一位合法统治者,成功的把十三岁的阿尔斯兰王子扶持上了王位,成为了阿尔斯兰一世苏丹。

但直到罗姆苏丹阿尔斯兰戮害了他的岳父“士麦那的查卡”(Turkish emir Chaka of Smyrna),兼并了士麦那埃米尔国的领土和舰队,势力大涨才初步完成对苏丹国的名义上的统治。

很多人怀疑阿莱克修斯在此之前就已经和阿尔斯兰有了不可告人的PY关系,阿莱克修斯逼迫查卡向阿尔斯兰屈服,阿尔斯兰得到军队和领土,而阿莱克修斯收复海岛并打击突厥人的舰队。

而在第一次十字军东征围攻尼西亚时,阿尔斯兰当时正在征讨小亚细亚的其它突厥人军阀,之后破城之后阿尔斯兰的老婆孩子被阿莱克修斯一世接回君士坦丁堡,好吃好喝招待。

阿尔斯兰则利用对抗十字军的名义,打击不服从自己的突厥人军阀,拜占庭帝国收回来土地而阿尔斯兰得到的是大量忠于自己个人的军队,最后阿尔斯兰集结了足够多的部队之后,再一次同自己的父亲一样,向波斯进军,去夺取大塞尔柱帝国的宣称,可惜再次兵败身死。

之后终罗姆一世,都在同自己国土上的突厥军阀争斗,强盛之后也会集中资源,试图向波斯和叙利亚等地进军。

罗姆苏丹国还在进行封建化,让小亚细亚恢复生产和生活,进行长期统治,如果阿莱克修斯面对的是更一盘散沙一般突厥人部落,那他们对小亚细亚的破坏性可就和之后的蒙古征服者一样了。
