"Boom!" A thunder sounded, and then there was the sound of rain falling to the ground, and it began to rain again, as if mourning for the dead.
Yunxi stood by the bed and suddenly felt an unspeakable emotion. Although he and Timur were enemies, in any case, Timur was a hero of his generation, the most famous figure in the West in this era, and the most famous figure in this era.
One of the most powerful people in the world, he is still known to many people and studied by many historians until later generations.
He felt a little uncomfortable. Although Timur was his opponent, and if he failed in this battle and was captured by him, he would not be much better off, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. "Probably because an era has ended." Yun said.
He thought.
"It is my decree that Timur was the Great Khan of the Kingdom of Samarkand during his lifetime and should not be treated as a normal Xilu. I ordered you to prepare a good coffin and collect Timur's body. At the same time, I will prepare the things needed for burial.
Murder's body was transported back to the capital for burial." He then said it again in Mongolian to Tamerlane's servant Samach.
"Thank you for His Majesty the Emperor's grace." Samach saluted and said: "But His Majesty the Emperor, according to the rules of our Tianfang Sect, a funeral should be held for the Great Khan as soon as possible and he should be buried in peace. The prophet once said: 'You should bury the dead as soon as possible.
, If the person is happy, he should be blessed as soon as possible; if he is unfortunate, he should be kept away from the disaster of hell as soon as possible. "If you die in the morning, you should not leave it until noon; if you die in the evening, you should not stay overnight." Even if you die in the evening, you should not stay overnight.
Because he cannot be buried immediately due to some reasons, he should find a place to bury him within three days."
Hearing Samachi's words, Yunxi blinked, and the expression on his face slowly returned to normal. The sadness about Timur's death had disappeared. He breathed out and said to Samachi: "I know
The three major funeral rules of Tianfang believers are burial, thin burial and quick burial. But now the entire Western Region is not suitable for burying Timur Khan, and his body can only be buried by bringing his body back to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
"I will arrange for someone to send Timur Khan's body back to the capital as soon as possible. It will take at least two months, no, one and a half months, to return his body to the capital. By then, whether I am in the capital or not, his body will be buried.
If I am here, I will personally preside over his funeral; if I am not here, the minister of the court will preside over it in my place." His voice was not harsh, but there was an unquestionable tone.
Samach suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was kind to him at this time, he actually had no ability to change his mind. Even if Samach was dissatisfied with Yunxi's decision, he would not
He could only bow and agree and said: "His Majesty the Emperor has considered it very carefully, but I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will not cremate the body of Timur Khan, but bury it in peace."
"And the Great Khan had built a tomb for himself near the city of Samarkand before his death. Although our Tianfang Sect advocates a sparse burial, this is only for the burial objects, not the appearance of the tomb, so I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can build a tomb of different specifications for the Great Khan.
Make a low tomb and do it according to the regulations of Tianfang Sect."
"Of course it is." Although Yunxi felt that he was actually quibbling, the truly devout Tianfang believers should not even care about the appearance of the tomb. But he didn't care about it.
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your grace." Samach saluted again and said.
Yunxi raised the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee. He said a few words to Samach in a friendly manner, comforting him not to be too sad. Then he said: "Samach, although you are the servant of Timur Khan, but
Now that Timur Khan is dead, you no longer need your services, and I can't make an exception for you, so I can only let you live in a prisoner camp tonight. But you are different from them after all. You didn't eat just now
, I will ask someone to bring you food immediately, so that you can eat and drink before entering the prisoner camp."
"There is nothing wrong with what Your Majesty said, but can you allow me to keep vigil for the Great Khan tonight?" Samach said.
"No need, I will specially arrange for people to watch the funeral of Timur Khan, and I will never neglect him." Yunxi said.
Samach had no choice but to agree.
Soon, the chef in the camp had sent his meal over. Tonight, because the war had basically been won, the food was already good, and it was enough to just serve one portion and there was no need to cook it separately, so it was quick.
While he was eating, Yunxi sat aside and chatted with him, asking about the customs and customs of the Samarkand Kingdom. Although Timur had already talked to Yunxi just now, but the people of the Samarkand Kingdom
The territory was so large that they could only talk for half an hour, so of course they couldn't finish it. Samach didn't find it strange and introduced him to the customs of various places.
After chatting for a long time, his meal was almost finished, and Yunxi asked: "Are all people in the West really so religious?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our peoples in the west and center of the mainland are very religious. Except for a few cases, everyone does things strictly in accordance with the requirements of the scriptures, whether we are Tianfang believers or cross believers. Maybe some
People are not very religious, but they have to pretend to be religious in this environment. Over time, the regulations in the scriptures have become part of these people's living habits, and they can no longer get rid of them."
"Does your God often show miracles or send oracles?" Yunxi asked again.
"No, as the Lord of the world, Allah will not do such things often, but he will do it in some special circumstances, such as this divine war."
"But I still can't imagine that a Buddhist god can go one step further. In addition to sending down oracles, he also directly performs miracles on the battlefield!" Samach said at this time, still unable to restrain his surprise.
Hearing him say this, joy flashed across Yun Xi's face, but then disappeared without a trace. He chatted with Samach on this topic for a while, and then sent someone to take him to the prisoner camp.
But just after Samach left the tent, Song Qingshu, the bodyguard under Yunxi, walked in and said to him: "Your Majesty, the matter has been arranged. With the help of the news from the spies sent to Samarkand City, we successfully
He created an identity for Tiecheng that would not reveal any flaws. It was also an identity that could hear the soldiers of the main army led by Salha talking about the 'Buddha's Apparition' last night. With this identity, he had successfully infiltrated the prisoner
Camp, even if Samach does not tell the oracle from the gods and Buddhas as His Majesty thinks, this battle is a battle between gods, he will find a way to spread this matter in the prisoner camp."
"I understand, please step back." Yun Xi said. Song Qingshu immediately bowed and stepped back. He did not fully understand what Yun Xi's plan was, but he had a vague feeling that His Majesty was playing a big game of chess. However, he did not explore this at all.
**. He has been with Yunxi for several years, and the most important experience he has learned is not to ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't know things you shouldn't know.
After that, Yunxi stood alone in the tent and said to himself: "I hope my plan will work."
This afternoon, when Timur asked Yunxi why he knew that he planned to march to the east several years in advance, Yunxi wanted to tell him the truth, that is, he had the memory of more than 600 years of future generations, so he could make preparations in advance.
. He had even arranged for a painter to pretend to be a waiter on the carriage in advance, preparing to record Timur's shocked expression at that moment and draw it later, and keep it in the royal treasury, so that he could take a look at it when he had nothing to do.
But when he discovered that Tamerlane's servant Samach also understood Mongolian, he changed his mind, and a more ambitious and far-reaching plan emerged before his eyes.
The purpose of this plan is to re-spread Buddhism in the Western Regions, but the combat effectiveness of Buddhism is not as good as that of Tianfang Sect, and he is unwilling to reorganize Buddhism into a system similar to Tianfang Sect - this will make it difficult for the government to control it, so in order to
To promote Buddhism, he needs to provide some boosters for Buddhism, that is, the 'Apparition of the Buddha'. This will make people in the Western Regions really believe in the existence of Buddha and be willing to convert to Buddhism.
But for the people of the Western Regions, it is obviously more acceptable for the Han people from the Central Plains to preach this matter to them than the captured soldiers of Samarkand. In their view, the Han people from the Central Plains are originally Buddhist believers and fabricated
Some Buddhist miracles are taken for granted; however, the captured soldiers from the Kingdom of Samarkand were originally Tianfang believers. If they tell about Buddhist miracles, the locals will consider them to be true and accept them.
So Yunxi decided to tell Timur a big lie and let Samach hear it. After Timur died, he sent Samach to a prisoner camp. At the same time, he arranged for Tiecheng, who was forced to move across the country before he went to Annan.
Tianfang Sect, a Semu man who believed in Buddhism was accidentally discovered when he was a Christian Christian - and entered the prison camp as a prisoner.
In the prisoner camp, Tie Chenghui pretended to be frightened and talked to others about the 'miracle' that Fang Zheng was struck by lightning and survived last night. Many of the soldiers who followed Salha to attack the camp survived and were imprisoned as prisoners.
, they will confirm that Tie Cheng’s words are true.
When Samach will also tell about the oracle that he mentioned in his previous dialogue with Timur, these prisoners will no longer have any doubts about it; at the same time, because this battle is a battle between gods, the God of Tianfang Sect was defeated.
Because of this, they will rush to convert to Buddhism and complete Yunxi's plan.
Yunxi thought over the entire plan from beginning to end, and made sure that there were no loopholes. He also ordered the guards to tell the guards to pay attention to the prison camp so that there would be no trouble, and he planned to rest.
But he was tossing in bed for an hour but still couldn't sleep. Today he defeated the country of Samarkand and even captured Timur, changing the course of the entire world history. Its subsequent impact will spread throughout the known world in a short time.
The world, even if you are not excited about it, just thinking about the process of world history in the future is enough to keep the brain cells running, and it is normal to be unable to sleep.
Yunxi then got up, put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and walked around the camp under the protection of the guards.
The rain had stopped by this time, and because the night was already very deep, the entire camp was very quiet except for those who were still on duty. The soldiers were very tired all day long, although the victory over Xilu was very impressive.
People were excited, but Xu Huizu did not allow the soldiers to celebrate because the war was not yet completely over. In addition, they were all very sleepy, so they went to sleep.
He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, murmured a few words, and then continued walking and walked out of the camp where he lived. The soldiers on duty he met along the way were very surprised to see them. When they learned that it was the emperor
After the night patrol, they knelt down excitedly and saluted. Yunxi comforted them one by one and asked them to continue their patrol.
Soon the general on duty tonight appeared. "Your Majesty, Song Sheng, has met." Song Sheng saluted him.
"Song Aiqing is exempt from the courtesy." Yunhe said with a smile: "Why are you on duty tonight? Isn't there usually a general?"
"Your Majesty, we have indeed arranged for a general to be on duty, but I couldn't sleep tonight, so I got up and took charge. Originally, Wei Guogong also wanted to be on duty, but he has been very busy since last night and has not rested for more than ten hours.
, I really can’t hold on and fall asleep." Song Sheng replied.
Yunxi said a few words to him, and then said: "Song Aiqing should go and rest quickly. The battle is not over yet, and even if the battle is over, there will be a lot of things to deal with, so you must have a good rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Sheng agreed and stepped back.
"Hold on!" Yunxi suddenly remembered something: "Have you already arranged the things I ordered you to do tonight?"
"Your Majesty, I have already informed Commander Cao and Commander Song. They have no intention of refusing and promise to fulfill your Majesty's orders. It's just because it's getting late and it's raining again, so we will set off again early tomorrow morning."
"I understand, please step back." Yunxi said. Song Sheng bowed and stepped back.
"Whether this battle can be successful depends on the two of you." Yunxi muttered again.
He then walked around the camp for a while, felt sleepy, and turned back to rest. He walked to the gate of the camp, and the soldiers guarding him bowed to him and saluted. Yunxi hurriedly asked them to excuse themselves.
Most of the soldiers straightened up quickly and continued on duty, but one man suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of Your Majesty."
"Are you Qin Shuang?" Yunxi still remembered this outstanding graduate of the Martial Arts Hall at the end of last year: "What do you want from me?"
"Your Majesty, I was originally from Yiwu, and my father was sent to Tiemenguan to build the city before the Western Lu's Eastern Expedition. I don't know whether he is alive or dead. Now that the Xilu have been defeated, I ask your Majesty to allow me to go to Tiemenguan to look for my father.
"Qin Shuang knelt down and said.
"I have approved it. You are allowed to lead your troops to Tiemenguan tomorrow." Yunxi knew this. In his opinion, Qin Shuang's father Qin Shouye could not be alive now. Qin Shuang could only go to Tiemenguan.
He would bring his father's body back, or worse, he wouldn't even be able to bring the body back. But there is no shortage of soldiers on the battlefield now, and the geographical location of Tiemen Pass is important, so there is nothing wrong with letting him go and investigate.
.
"I thank your Majesty for your grace." Qin Shuang kowtowed again and said.
