Chapter 837 Let's Raise Pigs
This is a veritable disaster.
On the ninth day of the third month of the fourteenth year of Gansheng.
Nearly nine months after Isfahan was besieged, Isfahan was completely submerged in an astonishing pool of blood. Just like in the darkest era of mankind, hundreds of thousands of people fell into a massacre.
This creepy massacre was not even carried out by people outside the city, but caused civil strife. When Abbas II tried to prevent civil strife by suppressing the Emirs, the tribal leaders made their choice, just as the leaders of the seven Turkmen tribes and their tribal cavalry had sent the Safi family to the throne more than a hundred years ago.
On this day, under the leadership of the leaders, the tribal soldiers used food as an excuse to attack the Persian civilians and the Guram class in the city. In order to attack the tribal leaders, the king deliberately waved his butcher knife from the military and administrative officials who were loyal to him from slaves. The first one was Armenian and Georgian slave soldiers. The military pay of this army was directly paid by the king with the income from royal land, so he was absolutely loyal to the king, which was a symbol of royal power and an important force for the king to fight tribal rebellion and check and balance the Kizilebash army.
And now, this unit has become the target of attack by tribal soldiers.
Compared with the hundreds of thousands of tribal soldiers in the city, the new army loyal to the king was only 40,000. Faced with the influx of tribal soldiers, the new army was no match for them at all, but the Armenian and Georgian slave soldiers still resisted tenaciously.
However, their resistance was revenge by tribal soldiers. Not only civil servants, Gulam nobles and their families were killed, but also civilians in many cities were killed.
The gunshots and cries echoed all night.
"I should have known for a long time, I should have known for a long time..."
Faced with the betrayal of the Emirs, Abbas II couldn't help but curse the betrayed Emirs.
But at this time, the curse had no meaning. When the tribal soldiers pushed open the cannon and blasted the palace walls, failure was already destined.
As Shah, Abbas II was not a coward. He even held a knife to resist the tribal soldiers who entered the palace like ordinary soldiers, but his resistance was meaningless and he was directly hacked to death on the spot.
Then the civil servants and the nobles of Gulam were completely cleansed.
By the evening of the next day, when everything was over, the entire Isfahan was flooded with a sea of blood. More than 300,000 people died in this melee, and the vast majority were civilians. For the barbaric tribe soldiers, the months of prisoner life and hunger suppressed too much negative emotions in their hearts, and this coaxing made their barbarity fully release.
When the enemy was facing the city, internal strife began to strife in the city. These green people were not ruthless in killing their own people.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed...
Although gunfire sounded in the city, the Tang army did not take the opportunity to attack, but continued to be on guard and waited until the third morning, when Sha Yide and others completely controlled the situation, they immediately made their choice and could only surrender to the Tang team outside the city.
After all, that's exactly why they launched the rebellion.
In order to win the faith of the Ming people, they even specially sent an Armenian merchant to act as a messenger. Many non-Green believers such as Armenian, Indian, and Jewish merchants lived in Persia. The messenger came to the forefront and politely rituals in front of Wang Fuchen.
"Dear General, the Great Emir in the city sent me to talk."
"Peace talks? Emil?"
Wang Fuchen asked
"Where is Abbas II?"
"General,"
Armenian businessman with lingering fears said
"Abbas II and his ministers and nobles were killed by the Emirs. Now the Emirs said that as long as your country is willing to accept their surrender, they will change, withdraw their troops and return to the tribe, and are willing to give away all the treasures in the city."
Perhaps Shayed felt that the Orthodox Armenian businessmen were easier to communicate with the Han people than his people, but he never thought that whether it was Shah's suppression of pagans in the past or the massacre of yesterday, the Armenians, as victims, were more willing to "collude" with the Tang people. There was no need for Wang Fuchen to ask, and the messenger took the initiative to introduce the situation in the city. It was not so much a messenger, but rather a spy, and even took the initiative to tell Wang Fuchen that the only wish of the tribe leaders was to return to the tribe.
Of course, Wang Fuchen had no right to take charge of the major event of surrender. He immediately sent someone to send the messenger to His Majesty. After learning about the situation in the city from the messenger,
Li Guo said with a smile
"I, the Tang Dynasty, treat people with lenient treatment. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will naturally let them live and lead their troops back to their tribe."
Then, Li Guo waved his hand and said
"Go back and tell the Emirs that as long as they convert to Buddhism and are willing to surrender, they will be the good people of my Tang Dynasty!"
Look, how enlightened the Tang Dynasty is.
Even in the end, Li Guo specifically told the messenger that the Tang Dynasty protected the non-green religion beliefs such as Armenians and Georgians, and did not force them to change their beliefs, nor would they impose heavy taxes.
The Armenian messengers naturally expressed their gratitude for thanking each other. In fact, they understood and even agreed with the Tang people's actions of turning the tribe into Buddhism. After all, there are green religions everywhere here, and they will not change... The Tang people can't sleep!
Through long-term siege, Li Guo even captured Isfahan without any blood. Not only that, he even brought the entire Persian army to a crook. It has to be said that Buddha blessed.
After receiving the promise from the Lord of Tang, Shayide and other Emirs naturally breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately opened the city gate, handed over their weapons to express their surrender, and took their subordinates to surrender to the "city" where the Lord of Tang was located.
When surrendering, Shayide ordered people to carry more than a dozen cars of gold and silver and said
"His Majesty the Great Emperor, these gold and silver have been given to your servants, thank you for your kindness and lenientness, and give your servants the opportunity to serve you."
Shayed and all the Emirs seemed extremely respectful.
So what if the country is destroyed?
As long as they return to the tribe, they can maintain their power and the interests of their families.
Of course, they will still have to pay the Tang State a levy tax in the future, but he is not the final decision in the tribe. As for the conversion to Buddhism, what's the big deal? But it's just a lip service. Can the Tang State be still staring at him every day!
Even the perfect mentor in the army agreed, which was just a deception and a temporary compromise.
Li Guo naturally praised the Emirs for their obedience, and then he suddenly sneered.
"To show your loyalty, tomorrow morning, you will kill all the "perfect mentors" in public."
"What?"
Sha Yide and others were all shocked.
It’s one thing to deceive for a moment, and it’s another thing to kill the perfect mentor. If you kill the perfect mentor in public, there will be no way out.
Perfect mentors in the Order enjoy an extremely high status. They are "assisters of God". For a Kizilebash or the Red Head Army, questioning mentors is equivalent to "unbelief" and is a crime that can be executed.
Now, they are going to be executed in public, and they are all personally!
There will inevitably be a storm among the tribe warriors. In the future, if you want to maintain the family rule, not only will all tribes convert to Buddhism, but you must also carry out bloody purges, otherwise opponents will inevitably emerge one after another.
Their reaction made Li Guo frown and said
"Don't want to?"
Although Sha Yide and others were unwilling to do so from the bottom of their hearts, they had no choice at this time and could only creep and kneel down.
"willing!"
At this moment, Sha Yide and others felt their scalp numb. The king of Tang was so cunning that he stuck their life gate as soon as he started.
Now that they have handed over their weapons, they certainly have no choice.
That afternoon, Shayide and others summoned all the perfect mentors, and then pointed at them and said, "In front of the tribe soldiers."
"Although these people have converted to Buddhism, they have different ambitions and must be executed!"
Those tribal soldiers didn't understand. Didn't they say that the conversion to the letter was just a joke and deceive the Tang people?
What the hell is this?
Shayide walked to the perfect mentor of the tribe with a scimitar in his hand and whispered
"Let me send you to Allah."
"what you up to?"
The shocked perfect mentor said in horror...
What was waiting for him was a sharp blade that cut off his head with one knife.
This scene naturally aroused the reaction of many people. When someone was causing trouble, the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time rushed up immediately and slashed and slashed.
Facing the knife, most people choose to surrender. As for those who don’t want to... then go to die!
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Li Guo's eyes were very calm. He whispered as Sha Yide and others knelt in front of him.
"In the future, all your tribes must pay taxes with pigs!"
