Chapter 330: The West Market Incident
It was obviously unrealistic to expect these Hui soldiers to line up, and everyone looked at them coldly, hoping that they would leave quickly.
The leader was a Hui centurion, who pushed away several samurai and scolded: "Are you not welcome us, bully us that we have no money, and we can't afford to drink good wine?" ”
The chief steward hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Where! Where! They are all customers, and the small shop is held up by the drinkers, so there is no reason not to welcome the drinkers. ”
"It's pretty much the same, I heard that your wine is good, so let's take a few bottles and try them first."
The big shopkeeper complained bitterly, but he couldn't provoke these people, so he had to give a few guys a look, and a few guys hurriedly took out more than a dozen small bottles of wine, which was five taels a bottle, each bottle cost five yuan, and the price was twice as expensive as Meishou wine, mainly because the output of high-quality wine of the Liang family was too low, and the price was expensive, of course, the price was high.
More than a dozen Hui people each carried a bottle, pulled out the stopper and poured it into their mouths, and after a few big mouthfuls, the centurion threw the wine bottle to the ground and scolded: "Damn, what kind of broken wine is this, it's gone after two sips, go and carry a vat out!" ”
A deacon couldn't bear it anymore and said, "The wine you drink is seventy-five yuan, and if you pay for the wine first, you will naturally have wine to drink, otherwise what is the difference between you and a robber?" ”
The centurion was furious, and stepped forward and grabbed the deacon by the neck, pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the stomach, stabbed him three times in succession, and pulled it back, and the serrated back of the knife pulled out all the intestines.
The deacon screamed and immediately fell to the ground, and the crowd was in a great disorder, and the angry crowd surrounded a dozen Uighur soldiers, beating them with stones and wooden poles, and the shopkeeper was so anxious that he stomped his feet, sent someone to call a doctor, and sent someone to rush to report to the official.
The Chang'an County Ya was next to the West Market, and in just a moment, the Chang'an County Commander Du Qiming arrived with dozens of officials, separating the angry crowd from the Hui soldiers, and soon Jingzhao Yin Ligan also led people to the West City.
At this time, the whole West Market has been turned upside down, tens of thousands of people gathered, the crowd was angry, and they all condemned the Hui soldiers who wantonly hurt people.
But not long ago, the imperial court had just issued a decree requiring strict control over the Hui people, and all Hui offenders would be punished in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
In front of the wine shop, Zhang Lei was so angry that he was like thunder, carrying a sword, and rushed over several times to slaughter the Hui leader, but was held back by the guy and the shopkeeper.
"I endured it last year, and this year I came to make trouble again, the government didn't dare to touch them, so I asked me to fight them alone, life and death are up to the sky, they won, I gave them my life, and the shop was also given to them, and if they lost, Lao Tzu chopped off their dog's heads and asked them if they dare?"
The county magistrate also tried hard to persuade Zhang Lei, "Don't worry, Zhang Dongzhu can rest assured, this time the court will not spare them, and they will make trouble and hurt people in broad daylight, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, they will be locked up for at least ten years." ”
"I can't trust your government, I also said that it would be severely punished last time, but in the end, it didn't work, they were arrogant, and your government connived at it."
"I promise it's different this time, the court has a new rule, specifically targeting the Hui people to make trouble."
Zhang Lei was puzzled for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll believe you again one last time, if he is released again, I will buy an assassin and slaughter this bastard!" ”
At this time, the soldier shouted, "Jing Zhaoyin is here!" ”
Everyone dodged away, Li Gan walked quickly, the county commander Du Qiming hurriedly reported, Li Gan glanced at the more than a dozen Hui people squatting on the ground, and asked, "Have you notified the Hui mission?" ”
"Not yet!"
Li Gan nodded, "Take them back to the county office, put the leaders and those who hurt people in their cells, and wait for the court to send them, and the others will be beaten with a hundred sticks each, and they will be banned from entering the city for three years!" ”
Jing Zhaoyin's public statement won a round of applause, and Li Gan ordered the officials to take away more than a dozen Uighur soldiers.
More than a dozen Uighur soldiers could no longer be arrogant, and one by one they lowered their heads, allowing the crowd on both sides to point at them and curse angrily.
Hui Hui's envoy in the capital is called Tu Dong, the official appointment of Hui Meilu general, is the second person in Hui Mo He Dagan's uncle, he stayed in Chang'an for ten years, early developed his arrogant and arrogant character, Tu Dong heard that the Hui soldiers were arrested, Tu Dong was immediately furious, immediately rushed to Honglu Temple, asked the Tang Dynasty to release people and apologize, and the wounded soldiers must also be heavily compensated.
But this time he hit a soft nail, Honglu Temple Qing avoided it, and the other officials didn't know anything, and Tu Dong returned to the Hui Mansion angrily and summoned the deputy envoy to discuss countermeasures.
Chixin is a military general, and the people who were arrested are all his subordinates, he slammed his fist on the table, and said viciously: "It seems that they have forgotten the lesson of the Suzaku Gate!" ”
In the sixth year of the Great Calendar, a group of Hui soldiers snatched young women on the street, and were recaptured by Jing Zhaoyin, who led 300 cavalry to attack the Vermilion Bird Gate on the same day, and Li Yu, the son of heaven, had to send Liu Qingtan to come to comfort and apologize, so as to calm down the incident.
Tu Dong thought so, and said slowly: "Since they don't listen to my kind words and persuasions, then use a way that they can understand to show our attitude." ”
........
At night, 300 Uighur soldiers suddenly appeared outside the Chang'an County Ya Prison, and they smashed open the prison gate with a giant log, slashed and killed more than a dozen jailers, and robbed the imprisoned Hui centurion.
At this time, thousands of Jinwuwei soldiers who imposed a curfew rushed to hear the news and clashed with the 300 Hui cavalry, the Jin Wuwei soldiers were killed and wounded by random arrows, and the Hui cavalry was also fired back by the Tang soldiers, shooting more than 20 people.
Xiangguo Han Yun also rushed to hear the news, he was worried that the matter would be big and hurt innocent people, so he ordered the city gate to be opened and the cavalry back out of the city.
As soon as the morning dawned, Han Yun reported the matter to Li Yu, the son of heaven, Li Yu was furious, and immediately convened the political hall to discuss the matter, and the ministers believed that if the Hui wanted to invade the Tang Dynasty, they would not give up because the imperial court treated the Hui envoys well, on the contrary, the weakness of the Tang Dynasty made them gain an inch.
The ministers unanimously agreed that they could take advantage of this opportunity to cut off the Hui Mission, a cancer that had plagued Chang'an for many years.
With the support of the Xiangguo, Li Yu finally made a decision and issued a decree to send more than 1,000 Hui people from Tu Dong and Jingshi back to China.
.........
On the north bank of the Yellow River, three large ships loaded with hundreds of generals slowly docked, and Tian Chengsi personally came to the Yellow River to welcome his nephew Tian Yue back.
Tian Yue walked off the boat quickly, and saw his uncle standing on the shore at a glance, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and cried: "My nephew is incompetent, he lost his troops and lost his army, and he was defeated in the Central Plains, which disappointed my uncle." ”
Tian Chengsi hurriedly helped him up, sighed and said: "I don't blame you for this defeat, it's my responsibility, I overestimated Li Lingyao, misjudged the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and I was not fully prepared, you can listen to my words and admit defeat to the court, I'm very happy, I'm afraid that you will be rash and fight to the death with the court, that makes my heart cold." ”
"But 50,000 troops ....."
Tian Chengsi waved his hand and said: "Most of the 50,000 troops are people from the Zhaoyi Jiedu Mansion, and now Li Baozhen is the envoy of the Zhaoyi Jiedu, lightly dispensing with the people, cultivating with the people, the military heart is already unstable, they will return to their hometown sooner or later in the past two years, I arranged for them to go to the Central Plains to fight, and the original intention was to consume them, so they surrendered to the imperial court, I am not distressed, as long as I bring back hundreds of generals, this is enough." ”
Tian Yue was stunned for a moment, he had to admire his uncle Lao Lai, he thought of the back road, surrendered if he couldn't fight, and threw the army to the imperial court, which was also settled by the imperial court, and had nothing to do with them.
Tian Chengsi sighed slightly, "This time Li Zheng has also disappointed me, I thought that he would work hard and capture Xuzhou, then the entire battlefield will be revitalized, and the main force of the imperial army will inevitably go south, and our opportunity will come, but I didn't expect a Xuzhou fiasco, all the chess eyes were blocked, and it became a dead game of chess, and we could only withdraw." ”
Tian Yue nodded silently, his uncle was right, a battle of Xuzhou was the key, he bowed down and said: "My nephew also feels that Li Zheng has made improper arrangements in the first battle of Xuzhou, and he has arranged too few troops." ”
"It's not a matter of how many troops there are, the root is that he underestimated the enemy, he didn't put Guo Song in his eyes at all, thinking that the other party was born as an assassin, he didn't understand at all, how the two battles of Fengzhou were fought, if he had understood, he wouldn't have underestimated the enemy so much, and he actually sent an idiot like Cai Wensheng to be Li Na's deputy general, it's strange if he is undefeated."
Tian Yue didn't dare to say anything, in fact, he was the same as Li Zheng at first, he was a little underestimated by the enemy, and he did not guard against the surprise attack of the enemy, which led to the burning of the warship.
Tian Chengsi glanced at him and said: "This failure tells us that ships are too important, and I decided to set up a naval army and go all out to build ships at the same time." ”
