After thinking for a while, Muthadid II began to think about how much to give Tata I what he wanted. It would be impossible not to give him anything, but if he gave it all, the Hashemite family would have to drink from the northwest wind. Regardless of the Ming Empire or the
The Kingdom of Castile is a pagan country. The Kingdom of Castile once expelled or executed all Tianfang believers who did not want to convert to Christianity. The Ming Empire also openly implemented a discriminatory policy against Tianfang believers.
They will definitely not give preferential treatment to their family, and may even expel them all.
If they are expelled, they will definitely not be allowed to bring food or anything else. Only gold, silver and jewelry can be hidden on their bodies.' If you think about it this way, all the food requested by Tata I should be given to him. Anyway, with the current Mamluk people
The morale of Cairo will soon be breached. Keeping the food will be cheap for the pagans. It is better to give it to Tata I.'
'But gold and silver cannot be given. Gold and silver are the easiest things to spend and the most valuable. Food, which is more important than gold and silver, cannot be taken away, so gold and silver are even more important. Get up early tomorrow morning and inspect the warehouse.
Go through all the warehouses, and then go to Muthadid II to discuss with him what you can give him.'
Muthadid II thought for a long time and felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. Although the sound was extremely weak, he recognized that it was footsteps.
.
'Who would be walking near my room at this time? The servants must have gone to bed, and the servants who are waiting for summons at night are also sleeping in the outhouse. They cannot be outside the house.'
'I understand. The servant must also know that Cairo City is about to be captured by the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Castile. They also discriminate against Tianfang believers. It will be impossible for them to be stable servants of the Hashemite family in the future, so I think
Steal something,' thought Muthadid II.
Thinking of this, Muthadid II became very angry. He was very angry at Tata I during the day and wanted to have many things taken away. Now even the servants in the family dared to steal them! He also learned martial arts.
Thinking that it would be no problem to deal with a few servants, he quietly got up from the bed, picked up the machete on the table, and went out to kill these brave servants.
But as soon as he walked to the door and was about to open the door, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a tall and strong man rushed in with a waist knife. The big man was surprised when he saw Muthadid II, and then
I want to chop him with a knife.
'This is not a servant stealing something at home, this is a robber outside coming to rob something!' Muthadid II thought of this instantly, then threw away the scimitar without hesitation and knelt down and said: "I am willing to surrender!
You can take away all the gold, silver and jewelry, and you can also take away the beautiful women. I just ask you not to kill me!"
"Huh?" The big man's waist knife stopped in mid-air, and he seemed to be very surprised that he surrendered and begged for mercy so neatly. Mutardid II only heard the big man mutter a few words to himself in a language he did not understand.
, and shouted softly to the outside. Then another big man came in and tied him tightly with a rope. At this time, the woman on the bed had also been awakened, and the big man covered her mouth, but did not touch her.
To cover her up, she just tore off a piece of cloth to gag her mouth and tied her up.
This is not surprising. Maybe they wanted to take this beautiful woman away, so they tied her up. But what surprised Mutadid II very much was that these two big men did not take the jewelry in the house.
The two big men took them to the middle of the yard, threw them on the ground and handed them over to others to take care of, and then ran to other houses again. Muthadid II was so beaten by him that he saw stars in his eyes.
It took a while to calm down.
After he recovered, he looked around and saw a scene that surprised him even more. There were already many people in the courtyard. By the light of the fire, he could see that he knew several of them, and they were all brothers who were close to him.
; Although he didn't recognize the other people, they looked familiar. They should be either very useful servants or housekeepers, or distant branches of the Hashem family, and they could also be considered members of his own family. He looked towards the place where the firelight couldn't reach.
Looking around, you can vaguely see many people sitting on the ground. They must have been brought here by the bandits, and they all look like men.
'There are nearly three hundred people here. There are only more than three hundred adult men in the entire Hashemite family. What are these bandits doing by bringing the entire Hashemite family?' Muthadid II
Shi thought in confusion.
At this time, several more robbers came over with their family members. He accidentally glanced at the faces of these robbers and was suddenly stunned: because these robbers turned out to be Oriental in appearance.
"Orientals!" he couldn't help shouting.
"What the hell are you calling!" The Ming army soldiers who heard his cry immediately gave him a blow on the back of a knife. Muthadid II rolled on the ground in pain and couldn't help but moan. The soldiers heard even more
They were upset and wanted to kill him with a knife, but the person guarding them stopped him: "You can't kill this man. He is the caliph of the Tianfang Sect, which is equivalent to the leader. Whether to kill or behead him must be decided by your Highness!"
"The leader of the Tianfang Sect? He grunts like a pig after being beaten? Sooner or later, throw him into a pigsty to keep company with his own kind." The soldier said another word, dropped the person he captured, and continued
Went back to arrest people.
It was already late at night, and the yard was gradually filled with people. After a while, except for the soldiers guarding the four walls, everyone else returned to the big yard and reported to Lin Xi: "Everyone in my area has already
Killed or captured!"
"Okay!" Lin Xi didn't say anything more, but just ordered the translator to be brought. When the translator arrived, he said to the translator: "Tell these people that we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who want to seize Cairo City. If something happens, they need their cooperation."
.If they don’t cooperate, I will put everyone in the entire Hashemite family to death!”
The translator nodded and told the prisoners present. Immediately, there was a roar of curses. These people did not believe that the Ming army in front of them dared to kill them all, and did not care about the threats in the words. Only Mu
Tadid II felt something was wrong and wanted to dissuade the tribesmen, but the scene was very noisy and his voice could not be heard by others.
But just as they were yelling at each other, Lin Xi suddenly picked up a knife and struck the scolding person on the neck. The person's head immediately separated from his body and rolled far away.
"You guys, kill the people around you!" He pointed to a few more soldiers. Although these soldiers didn't understand what the prisoners were saying, they could tell by their looks that they didn't mean good things, and they were not polite at all.
, one after another chopped off the heads of the prisoners beside them.
Until then, more than a dozen heads rolled on the ground several times, and Da Shiyu's scolding stopped, but turned to screams again. Many young boys screamed, and some people's crotches became
Wet.
Naturally, the Ming soldiers beat those who dared to scream again. Although this is the center of the Hashem family's house, far away from other homes and streets, it may still be heard. He was beaten several times with the back of the knife, and some
After the person was beaten until his mouth was full of blood, the screaming stopped.
"You can translate my words again: Are you willing to cooperate? If not, I will kill ten people every minute." Lin Xi said to the translator again.
After hearing these words, the people of the Hashemite family really couldn't hold on anymore. The enemy didn't seem to care about their status as a caliphate family, and treated them very cruelly. In order to survive, they were willing to agree to anything.
They also elected ten people who were usually in charge of the family, including Muthadid II, as representatives. Lin Xi chuckled at them, ordered people to loosen the ropes on their bodies, and said: "I want to
You lead my soldiers to trick a city gate into opening."
"How is this possible!" Someone immediately said: "There are 20,000 people guarding each city wall. Even if there are thousands of people on duty at night, you only have 2,000 people at most. Even if you get close to the city wall, you can't capture the city.
The gate. And you are Easterners, so you look different from the Mamluks. You can’t even get close to the city gate.”
"Whether we can seize one of the city gates is not something you have to think about. You just need to lead us close to the city gate." Lin Xi said.
"This," this man wanted to say something more, was interrupted by Muthadid II: "I know, I will try my best to bring you close to the city gate. However, the lives of our Hashemite family
Safety must be guaranteed."
"I can't guarantee whether the people who brought us close to the city gate will survive, but everyone in the house at this time can survive." Lin Xi hesitated and said. After hearing this, the deputy Qian next to him
Hu glanced at him.
"Are you telling the truth?" Muthadid II asked.
"Of course it's the truth. What's the use of killing all your Hashemite family?" Lin Xi said: "But the women and gold and silver of your family will be confiscated."
"Okay, then I promise to take you close to the city gate." Mutardid II said.
Hearing these words, Lin Xi had a strange smile on his face, but he flashed it away, smiled and said something to Muthadid II, and then turned around and ordered the soldiers.
He divided all the soldiers into three parts. Fifty of them stayed in the Hashemite family's house to guard the prisoners. Five hundred of them followed Muthadid II to deceive or seize the city gate. The remaining more than five hundred people
Fire prevention in the city disrupts order.
Lin Xi had already ordered that he would personally lead five hundred people to seize the city gate. Deputy Qianhu immediately advised: "Brother Lin, just lead the people to prevent fire in the city. Leave it to me to seize the city gate!"
"That's right, Brother Lin, just leave the city gate to us, you don't need to do it yourself!" said a hundred households.
"To seize the city gate, I must lead the troops myself!" Lin Xi said.
"But,..." "It's nothing but, this is a military order, you must disobey it!" Lin Xi said again.
"Yes, I will obey my orders." After hearing this, they could only agree.
"Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to die. It may be easier to seize the city gate than to prevent fire in the city." Lin Xi said again, and looked very confident. Although others were not as confident as him, they
I can only believe what he said. 'I hope Brother Lin will have his own destiny.'
