Kou Ji not only took over the palace of the Shazhou Uighurs, nor did he only take over the money from the Shazhou Uighur treasury.
He is the man who destroyed the entire Shazhou Uighurs.
The 170-year accumulation of tens of millions of Shazhou Uighurs over several generations became his spoils of war.
The amount of money seized must at least reach the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty for two or three years to be considered reasonable.
The money seized by Yang Wenguang was obviously not enough, there was a huge difference.
Just as Kou Ji expected.
Not long after Yang Wenguang left, he returned to the palace excitedly and said in surprise to Kou Ji: "Brother Kou Xian is really good at predicting things. I took my brothers and searched around the palace, and finally found the place behind the palace.
In the Buddhist hall, two statues with very unique shapes were found. After breaking them open, they found that there was something else inside the two statues. There were actually two cast golden Buddhas.
The golden Buddha of pure gold weighs one hundred thousand taels."
"Where are the other Buddha statues?"
Kou Ji asked very calmly.
Yang Wenguang was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face faded a little, and he reported: "There is nothing special about the other Buddha statues..."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and ordered: "Then continue searching..."
Yang Wenguang stared in astonishment, "Brother Xian, what you mean is...more?!"
Yang Wenguang was a little unbelievable.
The small Shazhou Uighur has a deposit of more than 600,000 taels of gold, which is already very shocking, but it still has more?
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Yes... It would be normal if you found more than ten golden Buddhas of the same weight in the Buddhist hall, but it's a pity that you don't."
Without waiting for Yang Wenguang to speak, Kou Ji thought for a moment and then said: "Search the palace again. If we can't find it, we will change the target."
Inside the palace.
If Yang Wenguang and his party have searched several times and still haven't found a large amount of gold, then it is very likely that the large amount of gold is not hidden in the palace.
It's just that Kou Ji couldn't figure out where it was hidden.
We can only ask Yang Wenguang to look for it first. If he can't find it, then wait until he has free time and then look for it slowly.
Yang Wenguang left the palace with suspicion.
Kou Ji sat in the palace for a while.
Zhu Neng sent someone to report that the vanguard of Li Zhaoliang's troops had arrived in Shazhou City.
Kou Ji tidied up his clothes and went out to greet him.
After the leading troops of the town entered the city, it was already the next morning.
When the soldiers and horses of the town saw the Shazhou City burned to the ground, they looked horrified.
The huge Shazhou City has no other buildings except the palace, city walls, and military camps.
The flames in the outer city have been extinguished, but the flames in the inner city are still burning brightly.
There was not a single living male from Shazhou City in Shazhou City.
The stench of corpses turned into oil permeated the entire Shazhou City.
Anyone who sees Shazhou City will not be calm.
The suppressing soldiers and horses had many doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.
Kou Ji ordered Liu Heng to lead the troops and horses to set up camp.
He returned to the palace, wrapped himself in a blanket and had a good sleep.
I slept for a full day and night.
He hasn't had a good rest since he left Bianjing City until now.
Now that the siege of Shazhou has been lifted, the lives of the soldiers have been protected, and Kou Ji can have a good rest.
Kou Ji has had enough sleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Wenguang standing in front of his bed with an anxious look on his face.
"Is something wrong?"
Kou Ji rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched out his body bones that were aching after sleeping for too long, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Kou Xian, are you awake?"
Yang Wenguang hurriedly approached Kou Ji.
Kou Ji finished stretching his muscles and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Yang Wenguang took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said: "I led people to search in Shazhou City for a long time, but could not find any other deposits of Shazhou Uighurs."
Kou Ji frowned slightly.
Yang Wenguang said immediately: "But it's not all without gain. I asked a few identified people among the female prisoners and found some clues."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "The Shazhou Uighurs really have a lot of money?"
Yang Wenguang stared at Kou Ji in astonishment and said, "Didn't you know earlier?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "I also inferred this based on the past history of the Shazhou Uighurs."
When Yang Wenguang heard this, he stared at Kou Ji with a look of resentment.
Just for an inference, I led thousands of brothers to work for a day and two nights?
If something hadn't really been found, wouldn't it have been in vain?
Kou Ji decisively ignored Yang Wenguang's resentful eyes and asked, "Where is the deposit of Shazhou Uighur? Are you in trouble?"
Yang Wenguang nodded slowly, "According to the accounts of the female captives, the Shazhou Uighur's savings are most likely hidden in the Thousand Buddhas Cave. There are thousands of monks in the Thousand Buddhas Cave, including more than 400 warrior monks with excellent martial arts skills.
If we attack by force, we may lose many brothers.
I sent someone to talk to the great monk in charge of them.
The great monk in charge said that Thousand Buddha Cave is a quiet place for Buddhism and no weapons or weapons can be used.
If we disturb the Buddha, the monks in the Western Regions will fight us till death."
"Bullshit! If it was really a pure place, he shouldn't have asked us to pursue the savings accumulated by the Cao family for generations. It's clear that he is greedy for the savings accumulated by the Cao family for generations."
Kou Ji cursed and yelled.
The Thousand Buddha Cave mentioned by Yang Wenguang is the Mogao Grottoes in later generations.
The Cao family has believed in Buddhism for generations and placed the collected Buddhist scriptures in Thousand Buddha Cave.
It is also expected to put some gold and silver in it.
Kou Ji ordered: "Go to the military camp, order three thousand Yuan Shan tribe warriors, take muskets, and go to Thousand Buddha Cave. Tell the great monk in charge that since Thousand Buddha Cave is a pure place, don't do anything like us."
Things that are enemies.
Otherwise, I don’t mind letting them go to the West to see Buddha.
As for what he said about the monks from the Western Regions being our enemies, you should also ask carefully.
If he really dares to do this, he will send them to the West together."
"Brother Xian, do this..."
Yang Wenguang hesitated.
The status of monks in the Western Regions was far higher than that in the Song Dynasty.
Countries built on faith can be seen everywhere in the Western Regions.
If the monks really make trouble, it will cause them a lot of trouble.
Kou Ji stared at Yang Wenguang and said, "Brother Yang, you are a military general, not a civil servant. A military general should have the momentum to move forward, instead of imitating the behavior of civil servants and looking forward and backward."
Yang Wenguang's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands and said, "I've learned a lesson..."
"Go quickly and get our gold back."
Kou Ji gave an order.
Yang Wenguang agreed and left Kou Ji's bedroom.
Kou Ji stretched out his muscles again, dressed neatly, washed himself, ate something, and left the palace.
Outside the palace, there are broken walls everywhere, and scorched earth can be seen everywhere.
But there was no one.
No one dares to calculate how many people Kou Ji ordered to kill in Shazhou City this time.
The number is so huge that it can scare people to death.
Kou Ji wandered around the scorched earth in the inner city for a while, but he didn't see a single person.
He left the inner city suspiciously and arrived at the military camp in the outer city.
As soon as we arrived at the gate of the military camp, we heard loud shouts.
The soldiers guarding the gate kept craning their necks to look inside the barracks, but even when Kou Ji arrived, they didn't find him.
Kou Ji stepped forward suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing in the military camp?"
"Where's Madam Fa..."
"I have been in the army for four or five years, and I have never seen such a good thing."
"It's a pity that the Kou officials only give birth certificates to those people who are willing to stay in Shazhou. If only they could give them to us..."
The two soldiers were talking to each other one by one. Halfway through what they said, they couldn't continue.
Because they had turned around and saw Kou Ji.
They have met Kou Ji, so they know Kou Ji's identity.
"Shua..."
A moment.
The two soldiers knelt down on one knee, holding their big halberds.
"For a humble job, please see Kou Qin Envoy..."
Kou Ji waved his hand, "No need to be polite. Guard the camp gate carefully and don't look around. If you really want to see it, wait until the changing of the guard."
"I know my mistakes despite my humble position..."
The two soldiers decisively admitted their mistake.
Kou Ji nodded and entered the camp gate with his hands behind his back.
There are three posts at the gate of the camp.
A total of more than a dozen people.
Their condition is similar to that of the two soldiers at the door.
Everyone stretched their necks and took a quick look into the camp.
After discovering Kou Ji, he decisively saluted and admitted his mistake.
Kou Ji gave them a few instructions and walked to the school grounds in the camp. He saw three circles inside and three outside surrounded by people. Most of the soldiers in Shazhou City should have gathered in the camp.
The total number of soldiers, civilians, etc. totaled hundreds of thousands of people, and the scene was very spectacular.
Right in the middle of the school grounds.
The female prisoners stood trembling in the middle one by one.
The soldiers and civilians stared at them one by one.
Some are shameless, staring at those beautiful ones, drooling.
Liu Heng led a group of people from the Imperial City Division, restrained a group of civilians, and entered the center of the school grounds.
Let them choose from among the female captives.
After receiving the order from Liu Heng, the civilian husbands excitedly gathered around the female prisoners to take a look.
Some opened people's mouths to look at their teeth, and some kept staring at their butts.
Some shy civilians were more honest. They walked up to the female captive they liked, with their heads lowered and their faces red, and asked if they would like to go with her.
This move aroused the onlookers' civilians and the soldiers burst into laughter.
A man in his late forties picked up a female captive who was about fourteen years old, and walked out laughing while the female captive struggled fiercely.
There was a moment of shouting and scolding.
"shameless!"
"Shameless!"
"..."
The man turned a deaf ear and walked out with a grin.
Kou Ji frowned when he saw this.
He separated from the people in front of him and stepped into the school grounds.
As soon as he appeared in the school grounds, he was recognized.
Then there was the sound of saluting like mountains and tsunami.
After Kou Ji arrived at Shazhou City, his actions won the hearts of the soldiers.
The soldiers respected Kou Ji very much.
Kou Ji's prestige in their hearts is unmatched by anyone.
Zhu Neng, who was hiding aside to watch the excitement, saw this scene and kept pouting.
Although he is in charge of these soldiers, it is easy for him to ask these soldiers to salute him.
But it was difficult for him to get the soldiers to salute him sincerely.
The military commander who suppressed the enemy was accompanying Zhu Neng. When he saw this scene, he kept curling his lips, "It's so majestic..."
Zhu Neng squinted his eyes, glanced at him, and said in a neutral tone: "The soldiers respect the Emperor's Sword on Kou Ji's waist..."
The head of the anti-Japanese army was shocked, and he heard that Zhu Neng was beating him.
He immediately thought of Zhu Neng's background and quickly apologized: "I didn't mean anything else..."
Zhu Neng said lightly: "It's best not to..."
The head of the anti-Japanese army decisively shut his mouth and did not dare to say another word.
A military leader is considered a figure in the military.
But if you put it in the court, it would be like an ant.
Whether it's Kou Ji or Zhu Neng, they can easily crush him to death.
It is a good thing that Kou Ji is very popular, and it proves that Kou Ji is a good official.
But Kou Ji has won the hearts of the military, which is not a good thing.
In the Song Dynasty, which relied on mutiny to establish its country, that was a first-class bad thing.
Zhu Neng was the top horseman under Kou Ji's grandfather, and he had a close personal relationship with Kou Ji. How could he just watch others say unfavorable words to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji naturally didn't know what was happening around Zhu Neng.
After he entered the school grounds, the civilians who were selecting female captives in the school grounds decisively stopped.
After the soldiers saluted, Kou Ji waved his hand, and the soldiers all fell silent.
All the people saluted Kou Ji.
Kou Ji did not wave to them, but stared at the husbandmen and said coldly: "I let you choose your wives, not the animals. Although they are prisoners, they still have to have the most basic respect.
From the moment you set your sights on them, they are your wives.
Since she is your wife, she is from Song Dynasty.
Since I am from the Song Dynasty, I should be treated with courtesy.
If you don't even know a little etiquette, you will choose your wife like a wild man in the mountains.
Then I don’t mind disqualifying you.”
When the peasants heard this, their faces were very ugly.
Kou Ji stared at them, "Not convinced?"
Kou Ji coldly snorted: "Stop it if you are not convinced. What kind of life did you live in the Song Dynasty? A time when you lacked food and clothing, and were bullied everywhere. Now that I have made you stand up, I want to
You should be human beings, not animals.
It was not you who fought in Shazhou City, and it was not you who died on the battlefield.
But it's you who take advantage.
What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant?"
When the people heard this, they lowered their heads in guilt.
What Kou Ji said is correct.
In the Song Dynasty, they were a vulnerable group.
In the Song Dynasty, widowers and widowers were all bullied.
Being ridiculed and squeezed is a common thing.
This matter was common even in the villages of later generations.
In ancient times, in the Song Dynasty, it was even worse.
Some widowers and widowers who have clans are just like cattle in the clan.
You have to do whatever the clan leader tells you to do.
If you are unwilling to comply, the entire clan will blame you, exclude you, and bully you.
The reason is simple.
Because you have no son and no family.
People don't worry about retaliation.
For thousands of years in China, the reason why having a boy has always been a top priority is partly due to this reason.
