Chapter 1119 The follow-up to the city of Samarkand - the sand envoy
Pir Mahama said to the guards again: "You all go out, take off your military uniforms and run home. There is no need for you to die with me. And you all have families, and you have to live even for your families."
"The Ming army will not massacre the people in the city. There is only such a small population in Central Asia and they are all killed. Who will they rule? Who will they collect taxes from? The Han people are different from the Mongols. They have no regard for massacres.
How much interest. Of course, military robbery will happen in a few days. If Ming soldiers rob you, just bear with it; your daughters, wives and sisters have also been hidden, and they will be allowed to come out after order is restored.
.”
"There is still some food in the backyard of the palace. You can grab some when you pass by. But remember not to take too much."
At this time, the flames had burned all the silk cloths in the house, and the entire palace was enveloped in flames. Pir Mahama finally said to the guards: "You guys leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave if you don't!"
"Great Khan!" Several people knelt down and kowtowed as if they were worshiping God, then stood up and turned around to leave the palace.
As soon as they walked out, they heard a "bang" sound from behind. The leading guard wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but kept moving and fled back home before the Ming army surrounded them.
…
…
"Pil Mahama chose to commit suicide in order not to be captured by the Ming army or to be used as a puppet by the brothers." Abubelke said in a low voice while looking at the palace in flames.
"Prince, the Ming army has surrounded us. What should we do?" His guard asked anxiously. He could have heard what Abubelke and Pirmahama said that night. If Abubelke also
If they want to commit suicide, they are prepared.
But Abubelke said: "Open the door, put down your weapons, I surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
"What, yes, prince." The guard was shocked, but he finally turned around quickly and agreed to go out and give orders.
"I don't know if I will be executed immediately or what. It would be great if I could go to the mainland of Ming Dynasty and have a look."
…
…
"Pil Mahama committed suicide and Abubelke was captured?" Shang Bing slightly said in surprise.
"Yes, Your Highness." said one of the generals responsible for leading troops to surround the palace.
"Prime Minister Song, since Pir Mahama has committed suicide, you don't have to worry about him. Just find a place to bury him. Abubelk is captured, how to deal with it?" Shang Bing couldn't make up his mind and asked Song Sheng.
.
According to his original intention, of course he wanted to kill all the descendants of Timur. But now in the city of Samarkand, most of his soldiers and the people he will rule in the future believe in the Tianfang religion and follow the rules of the Tianfang.
The nobles who thought they had surrendered could not be killed at will. Now Shang Bing still needed to rely on their support and must take into account the feelings of the local people.
"Your Highness, since we are in a dilemma, let us leave the matter to your Majesty." Song Sheng said: "Send someone to send Abubelk, some craftsmen and the mullahs from the seminary back to the capital. Your Highness is the vassal king conferred by your Majesty.
, It is reasonable and reasonable to hand over a prince like Abubelk to Your Majesty, and the people here can understand it. As for Abubelk, after he is sent to the capital, no matter how Your Majesty handles it, the people here will not know about it."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Shang Bing said.
He immediately ordered the general to send Abubel to the military camp.
The general agreed and was about to leave when His Highness had no other instructions. However, Shang Bing suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where is Shami Chagan? I sent him to attack the palace. Why did you come to report this to Gu Zuo? Isn't it?
he?"
"Your Highness, Prince Samechagan was attacked by Pir Mahama's guards when he was besieging the palace. He was seriously injured and has been sent to the military hospital for emergency treatment." the general replied.
"Why didn't you tell me immediately about such a big event?" Shang Bing was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"Your Highness, I already knew about this matter. I planned to report it to Your Highness, but His Highness was instructing the craftsmen to make arrangements at that time. I was worried about disturbing His Highness, so I did not report it to Your Highness immediately. Later, due to many things, I forgot about it.
Yes. Please punish me, Your Highness." Song Sheng said immediately.
"That's all, you made an unintentional mistake, so I won't be punished. Just retreat." Shang Bing finally said to the general. The general immediately bowed and retreated.
After the general left, Shang Bing's expression suddenly changed and he asked in a deep voice: "Did Prime Minister Song forget to report this to Gu Zuo?"
"The execution of Samichakan was entrusted to me by Your Majesty before he left. I also talked about it with His Highness, but Your Highness was kind and unwilling to execute him, so I shared your worries for Your Highness."
"I originally planned to report to His Highness after Shami Chagan's death, so I did not inform His Highness right away," Song Sheng said.
Shang Bing stared at Song Sheng with an even more unsightly expression. Although Shami Chagan and his Yili performed poorly in the Yiwu city defense battle and the Yiwu battle, Shang Bing's five years in Yiwu
, established a friendship with Shami Chagan, and his eldest son also appointed Shami Chagan's daughter as his concubine. Even though he was very dissatisfied with Shami Chagan, he was unwilling to kill him. But he did not expect Song Sheng.
Just do it yourself.
Shang Bing stared at Song Sheng for a few times, as if he wanted to say something; but he still didn't say anything, just sighed. Although Shami Chagan's prestige in the country was not high, with the strong entry of the acting king Zhu Gui
Lord, the various tribes in Yiliba are likely to unite around Shamichagan to fight against Zhu Gui.
But once Shamichagan died, his son was still young, and his younger brother Mahama was also controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The tribes in Yiliba could not form a core to fight against Zhu Gui, who wanted to rule Gurbantungu.
It will be easier in the special basin. Therefore, Shamichagan must be eliminated.
"Shami Chagan is also the king of a country after all. Let's choose a good place to bury him." Shang Bing finally said.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Because Shami Chagan was eliminated without his permission, Shang Bing was not very interested in it and asked him to leave without saying a few words to Song Sheng.
Three days later, on the fourth day of November, Shang Bing ordered an end to looting. Violators of military discipline were prohibited and violators would be punished with death. The soldiers in the city hurriedly returned to their residences carrying large and small bags, and carefully counted how many things they had robbed this time. But these things
Not all will fall into the hands of small soldiers. Two-thirds of them will be handed over, half of them will be divided among generals at all levels, and only one-third of the total will fall into the hands of Shang Bing. But even if there is only three-thirds
One of them is already a lot, and coupled with the royal inner treasury that has not been looted by the soldiers, Shang Bing has a lot of money in his hands.
Shang Bing, who had a lot of money, immediately bought a lot of goods from the caravan from the west. Many things were destroyed during the looting and needed to be replaced; and the merchants who went out with the envoy team in this era must have colluded with the envoy to buy
The envoys will definitely be happy if they drop so many goods. If they are happy, it will be good for achieving the diplomatic goals set by Shang Bing and Song Sheng.
I don’t know whether buying the goods played a role, or they were all frightened by the glorious deeds of the Ming Dynasty in defeating Timur. All the envoys were very cooperative, saying that the monarch would definitely send troops to seize the country’s lost territory and contain the experience of the country of Samarkand.
"I don't know if what they said is true or not!" After sending the last messenger away, Shang Bing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself. The messengers are all human beings, and they are not easy to deal with. Even if the weather is so cold,
Sweat broke out on his forehead during the negotiation.
"Has the bath water that Gu ordered me been boiled?" Shang Bing asked the eunuch next to him again.
"Report to Your Highness, it has already been burned."
"Okay." Shang Bing said this word and stood up to take a shower.
But at this moment, a guard suddenly ran in and said to Shang Bing: "Your Highness, someone from outside the city came to Samarkand and asked to see Your Highness. Prime Minister Song asked His Highness to come over and discuss it."
"Let's wait until Gu takes a shower to discuss the matter," Shang Bing casually ordered.
"Your Highness, this visit is unusual and very important to the Qin vassal. Prime Minister Song invites Your Highness to come over immediately for discussion." The guard repeated what he had heard.
