Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 218 The Replicant of Genghis Khan

Juzhan raised the city, and the slaughter in the governor's mansion was loud. When Yan Jin personally led people and took Salah into the city, a plan to trap and kill all the officers in the city began.

Almost all Persian officers above the centurion were summoned to the Governor's Mansion, saying that the newcomer Hakem wanted to entertain and reward them, but in fact, what awaited them was a massacre.

Two hundred elite soldiers of Regret Shandu suddenly launched an attack on dozens of officers, and they were all arrested and killed almost without reacting.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of Regret Shandu killed and scattered the officers from the outer court of the Governor's Mansion. Finally, under the command of Yan Jin, strictly according to the design when entering the city, the divisions occupied each city head and key points one by one.

Not to mention resistance, everyone in Persia will be shot and killed mercilessly even if they stand up, and those who can survive are all those who dare not move.

As for why Salah was not allowed to directly call to open the city gate to receive it peacefully, Zhang Zhao never considered it, nor did Yan Jin.

Juzhanti is really important to Zhang Zhao. Only with Juzhanti can he carry out the next plan, which is to use Prince Hamid to usurp the throne to gain benefits, and there is no room for loss.

Of course, there is another important reason. If the city gate is called open, the thousands of Persian troops and [-] to [-] Persians in the city will be regarded as refugees, and if they are taken by surprise, these Persians will be captured.

Those who seek refuge have to be fed with military rations, and they must be treated, but there is no need for prisoners.

After winning the battle, Zhang Zhao will also build a series of water conservancy projects in Bahana to deal with the annual spring snowmelt flood of Yaoshashui and Sauron River.

It is necessary to build a series of fortresses in the Juzhanti area. These life-threatening hard labor cannot be done by our own people!
"Release God and Thunder! Let Pei Shengyuan and the others enter the city!" After personally killing the last resisting Persian officer, Yan Jin patted the shoulders of the guards around him.

Laying down Juzhanti without the need for the king to personally mention the army, this is no less than Ma Yaozi saving the three surnames of Xinqiuci and taking credit for the various ministries of Beishan, right?
. . . .

On the third day of March, Li travels to work. Maoshi is a good time to build and take a boat.

Three miles outside Kesai City, beside the Yaosha water, with the sound of gongs and drums, sixty or seventy men tied with hemp ropes were dragged to the sandy ground by the river, and chopped down on the ground like sugarcane.

The one who was executed was the male of the Yusupu family, the former governor of the Kara Khanate, Rahana.

And it wasn't Zhang Zhao who ordered the execution of these men over 12 years old, it was Li Shengtian.

Yu Supu once cut the nose and ears of the Khotan envoy, and slapped Li Shengtian in the face, how could Li Shengtian spare him.

Not only did he personally decree to kill Yusupu's entire family, but he also specially transferred the executioner from Khotan King City.

"I wish your Majesty the greatest success, the mighty river!"

An official wearing a red round neck robe raised the wine glass in his hand. This was the special envoy sent by Li Shengtian, the defense envoy of Anjun Prefecture, Ron De.

Anjun Prefecture is the state where the King City of Khotan is located. In fact, Khotan's defense envoys are officials in charge of defense, public security, and arresting robbery and prison lawsuits.

Now that Li Shengtian intends to move the capital to Shule, many civil servants who were originally in the royal city of Khotan have been greatly promoted.

Ron De didn't just come to act as a special envoy, he also came to serve as the defense envoy of Kesai City, to know about the affairs of Kesai City, which was also Zhang Zhao's request to Li Shengtian on his own initiative.

Because there is a shortage of officials with administrative capabilities under him, Khotan must send people to do it, otherwise the follow-up checks of household registration, statistics of farm acres, construction of water conservancy, and persuasion to teach farming and mulberry are completely impossible.

"Chairman Luo, please go back! This place is newly established. You must do what you can. Don't dare to delay this year's spring plowing. Shule is two thousand miles away. It is inconvenient to transport grain and grass. I will harvest an extra grain of wheat." , it is equivalent to harvesting five grains of wheat in Shule!"

Zhang Zhao gave detailed instructions, if it wasn't for the military action against Bukhara that forced him to go, he wouldn't even want to leave.

Because the current food pressure is still very high, at least half of the food and grass for the tens of thousands of troops needs to be transferred from Khotan. If the spring plowing of Bakhanna is delayed this year, it will definitely affect the subsequent military operations.

"Follow Your Majesty's instructions! I must do my best to follow your Majesty's instructions!"

Luo Ende quickly crossed his hands and bent over, very respectful, now in Khotan, the orders of the Great Sage Emperor must be obeyed, and the orders of King Zhang are also very important.

One after another the sails were raised, and hundreds of ships, large and small, flowed downstream from the freshly broken Yaosha water.

This is the best opportunity, and if it is delayed, the flood of melting snow in the mountains will come.

. . . .

Juzhanti City is actually two cities rather than one city. This city spans Yaoshashui, and there are three pontoon bridges between the two cities.

However, the city on the west bank is very small and can only be regarded as a fortress. Generally speaking, it refers to the main city on the east bank.

Looking at the five or six-meter-high city wall, the protruding horse face, and the densely packed boats in the river, Zhang Zhao suddenly felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he first sent Pei Shengyuan and Xue Shouli to find the descendants of Eastern Cao, and then sent Yan Jin south.

Then Yan Jin, led by the descendants of Dong Cao, bypassed Juzhanti and caught Salah, and finally tricked him into opening the city gate.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that if this city has a backbone, he will lead an army of [-] to fight for at least several months!

"Great Khan, Prince Hamid of Bukhara agreed! This is the younger brother of Prince Hamid's confidant, General Hussein, and he is here to meet the Great Khan."

Only two days after entering Juzhanti City, Xue Sili's younger brother Xue Sili rushed back from Bukhara.

Well, Zhang Zhao's identity is still quite changeable, internally and Khotan he is King Zhang, externally and Suiye, he is Ju'erhan.

"Give me a seat!" Zhang Zhao waved his hand, and after Bukhara came to bow down, he bestowed a small round stool.

"It seems that Prince Hamid has finally made up his mind. He agreed to all my conditions?"

"His Royal Highness has agreed. As long as the Great Khan can help His Royal Highness ascend to the throne of Emir, the treasury of Bukhara and Samarkand will be owned by the Great Khan. His Royal Highness promises that it will never be less than 6 million dinars!"

The dinar is the monetary unit of Saman Persia, and the legal tender of some countries in the Gulf region in later generations is still called the dinar.

At this time, the shaman in Persia minted big dinar gold coins and dinar silver coins. At this moment, the messenger did not say big dinars, but dinars, which meant that they were not gold coins but silver coins.

One dinar silver coin is about half a penny more, and 6 million dinars is about three hundred and five six hundred thousand pennies. This remuneration is quite generous, and Zhang Zhao is very satisfied.

In big river cities like Bukhara and Samarkand, the annual tax may only be hundreds of thousands of dinars. Zhang Zhao took about five years of tax revenue from the two places, and Prince Hamid is still able to afford it.

"Then how does Prince Hamid plan to act? How do I need the cooperation of my warriors?" The price has been negotiated, and then how to act.

"Exactly one and a half months later is the No.20 ninth day of Ramadan fasting, and the next day is our Eid al-Fitr.

On the second day of Eid al-Fitr, according to the usual practice, the emir will lead all the ministers to take a bath outside the city, burn incense, chant the Lord's words and hold a grand banquet.

If the warriors of His Majesty the Great Khan show up on time, His Royal Highness will present the treasury of Bukhara and Samarkand! "

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Tianfang calendar, which is the Islamic calendar in later republics.

This month, Tianfang believers have to fast, and the last day of September in the Tianfang religious calendar is April 27th of this year's lunar calendar, one and a half months, there is still time.

Zhang Zhao nodded, this Prince Hamid is quite ruthless!This is to take advantage of this Eid al-Fitr to wipe out all the nobles in Saman Persia.

But the difficulty is not small, because Nasr II's majestic emir must have set up defenses in advance when he goes out of the city. How Zhang Zhao leads people to lurk there is the time to test his ability.

"I don't know how many guards Nasr II will bring out? How about the equipment? How about the combat effectiveness? What kind of help can Prince Hamid provide us?"

"According to past practice, the guards of Alka Forbidden City will dispatch 3000 people to be responsible for the specific guards, and around 10,000 people will be deployed as Guram guards.

However, because Prince Hamid has been suspected, General Hussein estimated that these Ghulam guards are likely to be called from Samarkand and other places.

In terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, Gulam's guards are not very strong, but Emil's three thousand guards are very powerful.

They are all equipped with iron armor, and there is also an iron cavalry of Qianhu. If they can't succeed in one blow, they can at least protect the emir back to the city.

As for His Royal Highness, he will lead the loyal Bukhara Gulam guards to launch an attack that day. What needs to be solved by the Khan is actually the three thousand guards of His Highness the Emir. "

Two thousand heavy armored infantry and one thousand armored cavalry are still elite, and they are definitely not a force that can be easily eaten up.

But Zhang Zhao was not afraid, because Nasr II's guards were said to be elite, but in fact they hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time.

But Zhang Zhao is different here. They have been fighting for the past two years, and they are already very familiar with the cooperation between them.

Ron De also sent [-] sets of cotton armor just now, which also has advantages in equipment, so you don't need to bring too much. You only need [-] to [-] elites, and Nasr II will definitely not be able to escape.

The problem now is how to avoid the surrounding towns and sneak into the vicinity of Bukhara.

But this was Zhang Zhao's secret, and he definitely wouldn't discuss it in front of the special envoy, so Zhang Zhao asked Guo Tiance to take it down to entertain him, and he invited the generals to discuss it.

"Now the general plan has been figured out. As long as we can get to the outskirts of Bukhara, we can directly kill the emir of Saman Persia!"

Guo Tiance took out the map, which was brought back by Xue Sili. On the map, Juzhanti-Samarkand-Bukhara are clearly marked.

It is about six hundred miles from Juzhan to Samarkand, and less than four hundred miles from Samarkand to Bukhara.

Zhang Zhao focused on Samarkand, "Prince Hamid promised that he has already arranged the route from Juzhan to Samarkand.

At that time, we can pass in the name of Juzhanti defenders. The officials here are all from his wife's family and mother's family. They are his sympathizers and supporters, so there should be no problem.

So the key point is here, the city of Serdihen located in the northwest of Samarkand, which is the only way from Samarkand to Bukhara.

And from here on, the officials and defenders are all confidantes appointed by King Nasr II himself, and they are the main roads leading to the capital, so they must be well-defended, and we may not be able to pass through. "

Everyone frowned, because it was less than four hundred miles from Samarkand to Bukhara.

But the four hundred li road can only be passed along the dense water. After leaving the dense water and the river channel of the dense water, there are endless red deserts on both sides.

So in fact, there is only one way to go from Samarkand to Bukhara.

Zhang Zhao stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly remembered something. In history, Genghis Khan killed Khorezmo, it seems that he directly crossed the Kyzyl Kum Desert, known as the Red Desert, and arrived at the city of Bukhara by surprise.

And what he did was simpler than Genghis Khan's. After Genghis Khan crossed the Kyzyl Kum Desert, he had to find a place to cut wood and build siege equipment, but Zhang Zhao didn't need it. He only needed to appear on the outskirts of Bukhara.

What's more, it's not that he has no experience of crossing the desert. When he raided the capital of Zhongyun Kingdom, Mu Nicheng, he led the crowd across the edge of the Taklamakan Desert.

At this time, the Kyzyl Kum Desert is easier to cross than the Taklamakan Desert, because at this time it has not yet become the terrifying red desert of later generations.

At this time, the Kyzyl Kum Desert still has some vegetation, and even the annual precipitation can reach about [-] millimeters.

"Xue Sili, last time someone from the descendants of the Eastern Cao Kingdom said that they had lived in the Red Desert. If you find him, you should take someone to familiarize yourself with the path in advance.

Cao Yanming and Yin Yaozi are responsible for collecting camels and building Sinan more.

All the officers go down, select the warriors under his command, and select 6000 people. The lonely king will take you directly through the red desert, and the Saman Persians will be dealt with in one battle. "
