Chapter 1419: Sudden Rebellion Arrived
Mulu City has not been in the hands of the Shenwu Army for a long time, but there are almost no resistance forces of the Great Cannibals in the surrounding area. As a foreign conqueror, the Great Cannibal was not friendly to the local foreigners, especially the infidels, and after more than 100 years of rule, once the pressure maintained by force subsided, the backlash would become extremely rapid.
After the Tang Dynasty army destroyed the Governor's Palace, which Abbas had painstakingly managed for more than a decade, the big cannibals here became street rats that everyone shouted and beaten.
The siege of Mulu City was so sudden that many of the Great Food Nobles did not have time to escape, and they were served in a pot.
When Qin Yan was in charge of rectifying Mulu City, he did not simply liquidate these Great Food nobles and the Persians who were dependent on Great Food, but collected all kinds of evidence and conducted a public trial against them on various charges.
They were either hanged, enslaved, or sentenced to life as laborers in coolie camps.
All in all, the oppressors who once stood high above are now despicable garbage.
A series of practices made the Shenwu Army quickly win super high support in Mulu City, and many native Persians responded to the call and joined the Shenwu Army.
Therefore, Qin Jin arranged a three-day itinerary in Mulu City, and generally only planned to take a tour, to see what the Shenwu Army had achieved in this short period of time.
However, without warning, a rebellion from the northeast attracted Qin Jin's attention.
The rebellion abruptly arose in the Transoxiana region, and most of the main rebels were Sogdians from the former Stone Kingdom.
The Sogdians have always been known as the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the area, and Shiguo is one of them.
During the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao, Gao Xianzhi once broke the stone country and shocked the Western Regions with the merit of destroying the country.
Therefore, the people of Shiguo have a very bad impression of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be said that they have the hatred of destroying the country.
It's just that in the melee over the years, the nine surnames of Zhaowu have died one after another, and now only some scattered tribes are still maintaining the glory of the year, and in fact, they have long been unable to speak the same day as those years.
Since the black-clothed food has reached its tentacles into the river area, there are frequent wars here, and the purpose of the big cannibal is to make the various tribes in the river kill each other, and then easily incorporate this place into the territory of the empire.
However, the way of heaven went back and forth, and the big cannibals also fell suddenly at the peak of their prosperity, and the high-rise buildings collapsed almost without warning, which for a while added a bit of chaos to the river that had been fighting for many years.
In the area of the river, there were not only the Sogdians, but also the Tiele tribes and the Turks.
They will not be loyal to anyone, and will only rely on instinct to survive in the most brutal environments.
So, as long as they can survive, these people can be enemies of the Great Cannibal or they can be in the company of them. On the contrary, it also has such a relationship with Datang.
Qin Jin carefully read the several military reports about the rebellion of the Shiguo people, and there was no shadow of the Great Eclipse or the Turks, it should be that they planned to take advantage of the shrinking power of the Great Eclipse and the Tang Dynasty had not yet made further progress in time, and planned to fish in troubled waters.
For this kind of rebellion, Qin Jin has only one purpose, that is, to suppress and appease both.
Fight him until he is dying, and then regroup his tribe so that the rebels will learn enough lessons that they will not dare to do it again for decades to come.
After Qin Yan learned that there was a rebellion in the river, his first reaction was not anger, but some unconsciously excited.
This is a guy who was born for war, and after hearing that he could fight, he even planned to personally lead his troops to quell the chaos.
However, as a general who guards one side, this cannot be done.
So he only sent a Tibetan cavalry composed of 5,000 men to rush over to quell the rebellion, and the Sogdians, who had low combat effectiveness, were vulnerable, and thousands of cavalry were enough.
However, a day later, the military report came back again and was dumbfounded.
Someone actually raised the banner of abolishing the crown prince Li Yu, which does not seem to be a simple rebellion.
Of course, the 5,000 Tibetan cavalry encountered unexpected resistance and gnawed on the hard bones.
When Qin Jin heard Li Yu's name, his brows jumped suddenly, and he suddenly thought of another name, that is, Guo Ziyi, who had disappeared with his subordinates when Tubo invaded Chang'an.
Some say that he went to the Western Regions, others say that he led his people into the homeland of Tuyuhun, and some even claim to have seen him in the place of the Hui people.
All in all, all kinds of rumors are sound, but most of them are unreliable.
Now someone is playing the banner of Li Yu in the river, perhaps these two people have come together.
Famous people in history have become marginal people early, and now they are standing on the opposite side of the historical trend, the tragedy has already been written, and no one is powerless to change it, even Qin Jin himself has no intention of intervening more for this.
When faced with a different choice, each person's fate will change accordingly, and they will also have to bear various consequences for their choices.
Qin Jin knew very well that in the land of Hezhong, the defectors from Guanzhong would not be able to set off the storm, even if the Shenwu Army of Mulu City did not make a move, it would be difficult for them to sustain themselves in the chaotic river for a long time without any foundation.
Even if it gets some support for a while, it will eventually be betrayed because of the entanglement of interests of all parties.
In the final analysis, Li Yu, the identity of the former prince, has no influence and appeal among the tribes in the Western Regions.
After the Qin and Jin masters and servants only briefly exchanged opinions on this rebellion, they focused the topic on how to deal with the rebels.
Qin Yan advocated that no matter whether the person who played the banner of abolishing the prince was an imposter or not, he must kill them all, and no future troubles should be left.
If these people are allowed to run away, and then flow through the Hexi Corridor to Longyou or Guanzhong, it will be a little tricky.
Qin Jin's opinion was just the opposite, since these people ran to a land in the river west of the barbarian Western Regions, they did not dare to operate in the area west of the Longyou River, for fear of being exterminated by the army of the imperial court.
These are not the point, the point is that Qin Jin does not want to kill them all, if he can capture them alive, he must capture them alive as much as possible, and send them back to Chang'an one by one, and even let them rest of their lives.
For the Li Tang royal family, Qin Jin didn't want to be too cruel, so that he could also reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
After all, at this time, he did not have the idea of replacing it, and if he suppressed it too much, it would give rise to more resistance.
Treating Li Yu, who defected, was just the right way to win over those sympathizers of the Li Tang royal family, so that they would not stand on the opposite side of themselves.
This insignificant rebellion did not change the plan for the return of Qin and Jin, perhaps the rebels wanted to create some trouble and stop their journey, but the waves set off were too small after all!
