The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 422 Embarrassment

The Mulaiyi people could not find the trace of the assassin after all kinds of searches, and they did not find any business travelers from the Song Empire entering the country after careful investigation. Everyone wondered who might have offended a certain god unintentionally, provoking his crazy revenge, reaching The purpose has been far away.They all heaved a sigh of relief, ended the days of waiting for death, and began to recruit and train "devotees" again, urging the donors from all over the place to pay tribute and resume business.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the bigwigs in Mulaiyi announced that they had captured the assassin, and brought in several "heretics" to publicly execute them in order to show their authority, deter the congregation and warn the rebels.But at the bottom of their hearts, they have lingering fears about those assassins who floated in and out. Needless to say, the losses caused to their high-level leaders, the turmoil caused by this, and countless layers and grass-roots elites died in mutual killings, so that the powerful damage.

At the same time as the loss of personnel, the economy of Mulaiyi was also severely damaged. Everyone was busy chasing and killing assassins and fighting with each other. Where did they have time and energy to do business? In addition, the peripheral organizations suffered heavy losses, tantamount to cutting off an artery; And those patrons who are usually obedient, wishing that they would be killed by assassins, and died in the internal struggle, how could they take the initiative to send tribute to their door; in addition, in order to avoid vendetta, many people fled Mu Layi .

It can be said that the assassination of unknown people caused a lot of damage to the Mulaiyi country, and the more serious consequence was to damage their reputation. Think about your self-proclaimed 'Assassin's country', but let the assassins make a mess , Even the successor died unexpectedly, who would believe in your strength, I'd better find those people.The generation of this kind of suspicion has greatly reduced their control over surrounding forces and their deterrence against the congregation.

And at this moment.Umid received a report from his subordinates who went to various places to collect tribute: the business traveler who returned from the Song Dynasty a few days ago rumored that their assassin was found in the assassination.The task was not completed, and all the Feidayi dispatched in the subsequent search were wiped out.It was revealed that they were from the Mulayi country and were sent by Sheikh to assassinate them.This incident aroused the anger of the whole country in the Song Dynasty, and the ruling and opposition parties demanded that Mulaiyi be conquered and the country destroyed.

The merchants also heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a man who would pay vengeance, and that he would inevitably launch a crusade. These merchants from the Western Regions were strictly interrogated, because they were worried about being persecuted, and they dealt with the goods after the martial law was lifted and hurried back.Before leaving, they found that the generals from all over the country had gathered in Luoyang City, and they seemed to be discussing the crusade. On the way back, some troops were already moving westward, especially in Gaochang, where the country was destroyed. .

This is also an opportunity for the bigwigs of the Mulaiyi Kingdom to understand what kind of enemy they are facing.When I heard that the land of the Great Song Dynasty spanned thousands of miles, occupied the most fertile land in East Asia, with a population of nearly [-] million, and its national power was very strong and wealthy. Even ordinary people wore silk clothes, and merchant ships moored in the harbor kept coming in and out. The canals transporting grain canals are connected end to end.The city where the emperor of the Song Dynasty lived had a population of one million, and the magnificent palaces he built were taller and more majestic than the Caliph's Baghdad.There is an endless stream of envoys from various countries who go to worship every New Year.

What surprised Umid the most was that Song's military strength was far beyond his imagination. The Black Khitan who had just defeated Seljuk Sultan Sanjar was not their opponent. They were all defeated.It was also because one of the imperial concubines of the Song Dynasty was a Khitan who interceded for them that the country was saved from being destroyed.And they have an army of 50. The army that captured Baghdad and almost captured the Caliph is only a small part of the navy. If the entire army is mobilized, I am afraid that the entire Arab world will be captured by it.

And the reason why the Song Dynasty's army was invincible and invincible.In addition to being well-trained, it is also because they have indestructible firearms.According to the business traveler who was lucky enough to see the Song Army's military exercise.Even the projectiles fired by the firearms equipped by ordinary soldiers can penetrate two layers of iron armor at a distance of two hundred steps.There is also a weapon called a cannon, which fires iron bullets the size of a bowl.The shooting range is a thousand steps away, and the sound shakes for tens of miles. Even boulders will be blown to pieces. There will be no bones left when people and horses stand next to each other. No matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand its attack. Flee.

After hearing about the attack on the Mulaiyi Kingdom, those merchants immediately believed that it was the people of the Song Dynasty, because the weapons used by the attackers were owned by no one other than the Song Dynasty.According to folk rumors in the Song Dynasty, the emperor had an elite guard army by his side.The members are all elites selected by the army, trained by the emperor himself, and specialize in carrying out secret missions.But no one knows the specific situation of this pro-military. It is only heard that these people are all black horses. They usually guard the emperor's side and cover their faces with black scarves when going out. mystery.

Legend has it that this pro-army soldier is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and taking the head of a general from an army is like picking something out of a bag.Because they are performing secret missions, there are not many known deeds.But everyone believes that the assassination of Jin Emperor Wu Qimai, the killing of the important minister Han Fang, and the attack and killing in Pingzhou City, which was fortified by tens of thousands of troops, were mostly generals of the Jin Kingdom, who once disturbed the Xixia Xingqing Mansion and prompted them to surrender and beg for peace. And so on, all the events are what they did.

Now that the Mulaiyi Kingdom assassinated the Great Song Emperor, how could they let it go, they must have dispatched troops to take revenge, otherwise how would they explain these strange phenomena.Through two fights, it can be seen that the Fidayi cultivated by the Mulaiyi Kingdom have suffered a disastrous defeat. Even if they engage in this kind of shady assassination, they are not Song's opponents. The merchants estimate that this is just the beginning of revenge, and the more serious is yet to come. The one hiding in the mountain is probably in danger...

The information collected by his subordinates surprised and annoyed Umid. He realized that he had met a strong opponent. He was not worried about the so-called Song Dynasty army expedition. The army besieged.And it is not an easy task for the opponent to mobilize a large army to launch an expedition. They have to cross the vast sand sea and cross the mountains to get here, and only the supplies can drag them down.

The terrible thing is that the emperor of the Song Dynasty must have understood this truth, so he only sent a small army. They are small in number, do not need logistical support, and are flexible and easy to hide.As a veteran assassin, Umid knows that the key to a successful assassination is to be able to hide in the dark and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, but now the situation is reversed, he is in the open, and there are many targets to attack. The assassin is in the dark, and can seize the loopholes in his own side to launch an attack at any time, making it hard to guard against.

Another thing that makes Umid anxious is that now Umid knows the news brought back by the business travelers, and everyone in the congregation must also know about it!Earlier, in order to stabilize the emotions of the congregation, he kept saying that he had captured those assassins and executed them.The fact is embarrassing. Not only did he fail to catch the assassins who killed his son, he even failed to figure out their identities.

This kind of deception can't be fooled by those senior missionaries, 'incompetence' has shaken his position.Another successful assassination, even if it only resulted in the death of one of his castle dogs, would have severely damaged his reputation.But the reality is that the congregation heard that the news that Da Song sent people to retaliate has spread, causing panic among the people, and he can only stand up for his mistakes.

Umid quickly issued a decree to the congregation declaring that Da Song was the emperor and "Satan" and was about to invade the Arab world, but he would be punished by Allah, and the army he sent would be buried in the long yellow sand, and he would also Killed by the heroes of the Prophet, the Mulayi Kingdom will win the holy war.At the same time, in order to prevent the 'rumours' from spreading, he ordered the borders to be sealed off, business travelers are prohibited from entering the country, and those who spread news in private will be severely punished!

But Allah is on Satan’s side again this time, and just a few days after Umid issued his decree, a crisis befell him again... (To be continued...)
