'I really should have been more decisive at that time. I put the poison in my mouth the moment I was discovered by the Ming army, instead of being inspected by them with the idea that the Ming people might not be able to recognize me. I waited until the Ming people came up with a very similar portrait.
When I compare them one by one, no matter what I do, I will be discovered immediately, and it is impossible to commit suicide again.' Salha, who was forced to kneel on the execution ground, thought with some regret.
Today is the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of the twelfth lunar month, and also the last day of the fifteenth year of Jianye. Although it is unlucky to kill people during the major festivals, it is even more unlucky to kill people in the first month. Zhu Xian and others are not willing to postpone it until February.
, found someone to calculate that today was a suitable day for killing, and decided to execute Salha, Said and others today.
Although today is the Chinese New Year, the Han people in Delhi at this time are all soldiers who have fought against the Indians for several months. There are no ordinary people. They are not taboo about killing during the festival. Instead, they all come to watch the fun with great interest.
, the generals of the various guards received Lan Zhen’s order and did not stop it. Not only that, Lan Zhen also attracted many Tibetans, Mara and Bhutanese to watch. Of course, the most important thing was the local Indians.
Especially the captured soldiers who were lucky enough to survive and the wealthy households in the city. All the wealthy households in the city were 'invited' and sat in the front row; hundreds of people were selected from the captured soldiers to come and watch.
Looking at the people of all races who were watching below, Salha felt even more regretful. He couldn't help but regret once again why he didn't commit suicide. Since it was all about death, he also wanted to be more respected when he died. It would be great if he could keep the whole body.
Even if the people of the Ming Dynasty insisted on cutting off his head, they could not execute him publicly like this. He really didn't expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty had no respect at all.
Thinking of this, Salha couldn't help but glance sideways at Said, who was also forced to kneel aside. If he had known that he would not survive, he would not be able to get any preferential treatment. Said might still be alive.
It was a fantasy to go on, at least he felt that he would get, what, what people in the Ming Dynasty call dignity. But in the end, let alone dignity, he didn't even save his life, no, even the lives of his children and grandchildren. He couldn't help but think:
'What was Said thinking at this moment?'
'If I had known this, I should have gathered all the soldiers who were still loyal to me and would not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, defended the palace with all my children and grandchildren, and fought the Ming army to the end.' Said thought at this time. He also did not expect it at all.
The generals of the Ming army would treat him like this. But he was not like Salha, who had been tortured since he was caught. He had no time to think about other things until today. He had regretted it for several days and shed tears several times.
, his tears had already dried up by today. He looked at the Ming officials in front of him who were talking, and then glanced at the people of all ethnic groups who were watching in the audience. He saw a few people who seemed to be loyal to him on weekdays.
The man sneered and suddenly said to the executioner beside him: "Where are your senior generals and princes? Why did I only see commander-in-chief Lan Zhen and Zhu Xian? Why didn't the others come to visit today's execution?"
"You are a death row prisoner, why are you asking so many questions!" the executioner standing on his left scolded.
Hearing the scolding, Said was not upset, but looked at the executioner on the right. This executioner was older and knew that the person being pinned to the ground had a different identity. He thought that maybe General Lan or His Royal Highness Prince Pu would still be there.
Asked what he said before his death, he replied: "We don't know either, but early this morning we heard something in a daze. It seemed that there was a decree from Beijing, so all the princes and generals who were supposed to come to watch the execution did not
Come."
"If there is an edict from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Zhen, as the commander-in-chief, should accept the edict. Why is he still coming? I understand. This edict must have been read out in the morning, but what is said in it
It's not within everyone's expectations, so we need to discuss what to do. As the commander-in-chief, Lan Zhen doesn't think it's appropriate not to come to watch, so she can only come. But she is also thinking about what the imperial edict said in her heart." Said said to himself.
After saying a few words, he raised his head and looked at Lan Zhen. Sure enough, he was not thinking about the execution, he was just looking away, as if he was thinking about something, and occasionally turned his head to say a few words to Zhu Xian.
At this time, the official who had been giving a long speech had finished speaking, and the execution officially began amidst the cheers of the Han soldiers who were watching. Those who can carry out public executions today are not ordinary people, at least they are the only generals under Said. At this time, they saw ghosts
The big knife was about to chop their heads on their necks. Although they knew that begging for mercy was useless, many people were still so frightened that they burst into tears and begged loudly for mercy. Of course, the executioner ignored them and made people hold them down tightly. Then he raised the knife and chopped off the heads.
Exit. The Han soldiers who were watching also let out a cheer.
The rich people in the city who were invited couldn't help sweating on their foreheads when they saw this situation. The Ming Dynasty has been openly suppressing the Tianfang believers. This time in the war in India, an unknown number of people were killed. Almost all the soldiers of the Ming army fought against the Tianfang believers.
Forging a grudge, the generals of the Ming army publicly killed so many generals, leaving no face for the original civilian and military generals of the Delhi Sultanate. Although they survived by luck, the days afterward would be very difficult. 'Should you change your faith?
Brahmanism? The city of Delhi is so big that a quarter of it will be vacant at once. Not many Han people will be able to move to India at the beginning, and they cannot all be placed in Delhi. There will definitely be Brahmans moving there. When the time comes,
Donate some money to Kshatriyas or Brahmans and believe in Brahmanism. Anyway, I look so dark, I look like a native of India. Most of my ancestors were also Brahmans. Now I just changed back to my ancestors' beliefs.' Some people think so.
Not only one, but at least nearly one-third of the wealthy households are thinking this way. Others who do not think this way are also trying to find out which general will stay in India, and then no matter whether it is to offer wealth
She is still a beauty, even if they are asked to offer their wives, it doesn't matter as long as they can get protection.
Only the Tibetans, Mara and Bhutanese were simply admiring the execution, and occasionally commented on the executioner's neat technique.
"If he is willing to accept surrender, then Firuz Shah will definitely surrender. But the generals and princes of the Ming Dynasty must not trust him. He has no shame and will do anything to maintain his power, but
Once you appear weak or of no use to him, he will immediately turn against you. After accepting his surrender, I suggest assassinating him immediately. Firuz Shah takes power very seriously and does not allow anyone to get involved.
All his brothers have been killed long ago, and even one of his sons was killed. The remaining sons are all young. As long as he is killed, the Bahmani Sultanate will definitely be in chaos. Then the Ming Kingdom will bring that land under its rule.
This is the opportunity." With the intention of not making others feel better even if he died, Said spoke ill of Firuz Shah and also put forward his own suggestions.
"The Ming Dynasty would not be satisfied with just occupying northern India, and would also want to occupy southern India. The country in southern India was established by Brahmans and was named Vijayanagar. It basically unified southern India, and its strength was not great.
Weak. I think that although the Ming Dynasty has won over the Brahmans, it will not allow an independent Brahmin country to exist. When attacking South India, the Ming Dynasty can rely on the power of the Tianfang believers. This will destroy the Kingdom of Vijayanagar faster.
......." Said kept saying.
At this time, everyone present except him and Salha had been executed. Although the older executioner wanted to listen for a while longer, he did not dare to delay. He raised the ghost head knife and was about to chop it off. At this time, Sai
Yide suddenly remembered something and said: "One more thing, Firuz Shah still has an uncle alive, and he must be killed..."
But before he finished speaking, the ghost-headed knife had already been chopped down. Said was hit in the neck with the knife, his tongue stuck out, and he died.
