Chapter 418: Fiends and Demon Kings Blast the Western Regions
The bodyguards in brocade robes, all dressed in red, rode their horses to the water transport crossing of the Bian River.
Tokyo's water transport is booming. Rivers such as the Bianhe River, Caihe River, Jinshui River, and Wuzhanghe River run through Kaifeng City. The water conservancy project that leads Luo to Bianhe allows the Bianhe River and Yiluo River to communicate with each other, thus making Tokyo the "hub of the world."
Even though the scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty had such strong opinions on the straightening of the canal, it wasn't that they didn't know the benefits of the canal, it was just that they were unwilling to give up the benefits of Kaifeng Prefecture.
They worked very diligently on building the canals in Kaifeng. In just a few years, they dug water channels that crisscrossed Kaifeng, making it extremely convenient.
There were three large boats parked at the ferry. Yang Lin and others dismounted and walked towards the middle boat. Summer is really not a good time to travel, but fortunately, you can still take the sea route to Youyan via Tianjin Wei.
Otherwise, if you are exposed to the sun for half a month on this road in Hebei, your skin will peel off even if you don't die.
After stepping onto the deck, the guards took three ships respectively. The ship Yang Lin boarded was particularly large. The four-masted ship was fully equipped. When they came to the ship, they saw the cabin door curtain lifted, and a tall man in aqua blue clothes appeared.
The maid came out of the cabin, stepped forward diligently and took off Yang Lin's sun hat with a smile.
Yang Lin grabbed a handful of her buttocks and asked with a smile: "Where is Yue'er?"
"Miss, she is cooking porridge for you in the cabin."
When Yang Lin heard this, he frowned and said, "Why don't you stop me? Should you drink it or should I drink it after she cooks it?"
Miao'er quickly waved her hands and said as if facing a formidable enemy: "I don't want to drink it. It was cooked for me. It's not my turn." As she spoke, she started laughing.
Yang Lin quickly entered the cabin, and sure enough, Xu Yuenu was facing a small stove, sweating dripping from the hot scent. Without saying a word, Yang Lin stepped forward and hugged her down, giving her a long kiss. Miaoer took the opportunity to kiss Hei Huhu.
The small soup pot was quietly moved away——
The Western Regions housed the Karakhan Dynasty, and the Song people's military front was unstoppable. After nearly a hundred years of comfort, the upper class had become corrupt and degenerate, and the army's combat effectiveness was pitifully low.
And those brought by Song Jiang are all from Tubo, Dangxiang, Kelie, and Uighurs. Each of them is a warlike nation with a notorious reputation. In the past, the checks and balances on them were the small number of tribes and backward weapons, but now it is not a problem.
The separation of these ethnic groups would be a disaster for one of them. Except for Klei, who was beyond his reach, the others had caused great harm to the Central Plains Dynasty. Being together together was not something Kara Khan could bear.
This large country in the Western Regions is now full of turmoil. The ruthless killings and looting have left an indelible shadow on the local resistance. Before the arrival of the civilized Song Dynasty, Song Jiang, a Shandong man who was later described as a devil and evil star, had a generous and scheming mind.
The black men really cleansed the land of the Western Regions.
The soldiers and horses under his command were extremely poor in style, extremely ferocious, brave and good at fighting. The Karakhan dynasty, which had been split into various small factions, could not assemble an army that could become a unified enemy of the Song army, even if it only slightly delayed them.
Steps of conquest.
The Karakhanid Dynasty once had a powerful army dominated by heavy cavalry, including the "Ghulam" guards trained by the central Khan Court and the feudal cavalry composed of local Iqta military landlords. In Qihe
A large number of new cities were built in the river basin and the Ili River Valley. Today, these cities are filled with incompetent and corrupt nobles. Their skills are limited to showing off their talents with women and bullying passing merchants.
Baishui City is like a pearl in the Western Region. The river in the city is so clear that the bottom of the river can be seen when the sun shines on it, as if it were transparent.
The calm river flowed slowly, and suddenly a red water flow came in and slowly occupied the river channel.
Hundreds of floating corpses floated down the river. In the middle reaches of the river, there was a magnificent palace. Ibrahim, the contemporary Khan of the Eastern Karakhan Khanate, was hiding here. Surrounded by him were a group of loyal guards and
His children and his wife.
He was chased to the point of despair by Hua Rong. After hiding in Baishui City, he was even more surrounded.
Hua Rong cut off the water supply to the palace and waited for the group of people to come out and surrender. Who knows, they still haven't come out after waiting for seven or eight days.
In anger, the Song army launched a charge, killing the royal palace and turning the rivers and lakes into rivers of blood.
Kicking open the palace door, I saw a group of people huddled in the palace, and several guards rushed over with swords drawn and shouting.
Ibrahim roared angrily, and the guards stepped back one after another. Hua Rong sneered and said: "My mother, the knife hit your donkey head, do you know you surrender? How much time have you wasted for our brothers?"
, I have to chop you."
After speaking, he moved forward with the knife, but was grabbed by Song Jiang from behind. The black man stood up with a smile and said loudly: "King Karakhan, are you willing to surrender to me, the Song Dynasty now?"
Next to Ibrahim, a man who understood Chinese loudly translated for him. The Karahan guards next to him heard it clearly and felt a little moved in their hearts.
Surrendering has a high probability of avoiding death. Who wants to die? They all looked at Ibrahim nervously, waiting for his decision. It can be said that this decision will directly determine the life and death of them. The end of the Khan,
There is no trace of heroism, just hesitation. At this point, he is still reluctant to give up his throne.
Before Ibrahim could speak, his little son crawled at his feet, his lips turned white, and kept shouting: "Water, drink water."
Ibrahim sighed, finally lowered his head and said: "Tell them that I am willing to surrender and let them bring some water to the princes to drink."
Although there was no cheering, the Karakhanites in the palace were still relieved, at least they no longer had to die.
After a while, several party soldiers came carrying two buckets of water. The palace was trapped for seven or eight days. After the water source was cut off, Ibrahim and the princes were only thirsty for a day or two, but there were many servants and soldiers.
They were all dying of thirst.
When everyone saw the bucket being brought up, their eyes turned green and they rushed forward to drink. Several Karahan guards held whips and whipped the eunuchs who were grabbing water and the Karakhan palace ladies who served the royal family. The whips were struck mercilessly.
, many people were bleeding and still rushed forward.
As soon as one of the guards raised his whip, Hua Rong grabbed his wrist, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and roared: "Then your brother's got a lot of money, and now he's still showing off his power to bully others.
I punched you"
Before the word "fist" could be said, Hua Rong raised his fist and hit him on the head. There was a crack in the neck, killing him immediately. Hua Rong threw the body away and then continued: "I'll kill you."
life."
The guards of Kara Khan drew their swords one after another. Song Jiang snorted coldly and said: "Eat the hard and not the soft. Keep that so-called Bird Khan King as a puppet for us, and I will kill the others."
