Chapter 4 Social Rat (Part I)

Darkness is the best cover for intrigue and dealing. The next morning, the people of Tansha Shira City peeked out from their doorstep and saw that everything in the city had changed.

The Buddhist temples that have been occupied by the Heavenly Sect for many years have reopened the mountain gates. Before the shape of the roof could be restored, hundreds of craftsmen were forced by soldiers to hastily nail a ring of upturned cornices around the roof to show the change of the head. The Zoroastrian temple, once used as a wet market, has also been reopened, and the thatched roofs are covered with green smoke. The most outrageous thing is that there are several shops on the street, and the windows are full of women's clothes that I don't know where to find them, long and short, colorful and green, which makes the eyes that are used to black and white painful. But the servants who were extorting money from all over the place, with sticks pinned to their waists, turned a blind eye to this, and rarely put on a smiling face, bowed down to their breasts behind the crack in the door, and kept showing their goodwill.

"What's wrong with them? Can't get your head caught in the door panel? "A few brave people, unable to believe what they were seeing, came out of the door and looked up in the street. At first glance, his mouth immediately opened to fit an egg. No wonder the officers have changed their faces, and it turns out that those who support them behind their backs have all fallen behind. The tax collectors who went around in the name of Allah, the missionary Manla, who was prone to put people to death, were all tied up and put in a prison cart like lambs to the slaughter. Behind the prisoner car, there were not only several teams of palace guards with panicked faces, but also hundreds of "eminent monks" holding wooden fish in their hands, tearing their throats to announce to everyone His Majesty's latest decision to abolish the Heavenly Sect. It's just that they obviously only temporarily accepted the shaving last night, and the stubble was illuminated by the rising sun, and immediately reflected a layer of dazzling blue light.

"Isn't that a fool?" Someone pouted and cursed. King Gendara has been an ornament since his grandfather's generation, and which of the people in the city does not know about it? Those tyrannical Manlas and saints, who is not involved with the nobles behind them? But mocking words can only be said secretly, not openly. It is true that Tancha Shira City has changed. Overnight, the temple changed scriptures and the gods changed their faces, but the big families in power in Tancha Shira City did not change. It's just that people go from "Allah's most devout disciples" to Buddhas or Vulcan preachers in the world, turning around and always walking at the forefront of the changes.

"Bell ......", "Bell ......", "Bell ......", the crisp bell rang again, interrupting the confusion in people's hearts. The boulders blocking the city gate were removed by the soldiers piece by piece, and the city gate was wide open, and a few flags made of white kudzu were picked out first. Afterwards, the newly ordained "monks" wept and mourned, reciting scriptures that they were not familiar with, and gathered around a pale-faced high-ranking official, and walked out of the city gate under the pressure of swords. Behind them were rusty prison carts. Immediately afterwards, the city gate was closed again with a "clang". Divide the inside and outside of the city into two disconnected worlds.

"Surrendered, they are going to surrender. Surrendered to the Tang people. The people who lived near the gates of the city immediately understood what the nobles were doing, and a desperate cry came out of their mouths. But soon, the shouting was stopped by the nearby soldiers, "What nonsense? We're not capitulating. The prime minister said, this is righteousness, righteousness, do you understand? ”

How much difference there is between uprising and surrender, the people really don't understand. However, everyone's hearts slowly calmed down again, and a sense of relief immediately swelled up. Finally I don't have to fight, grandma's. You don't have to listen to the whizzing of crossbow arrows on your head every day. Whether the aristocratic lords converted to the Buddha or the god of fire, their conscience finally found out that they did not bring everyone together to give them a funeral. As for what will happen to the Tang people after they enter the city? Let him be. Anyway, the valuable things in the city have already been taken away by the big cannibals, and in addition to their lives, everyone will not lose more.

"The prime minister said that all the blame will be borne by him alone!" The soldiers' shouts were monotonous and tedious, but they were repeated over and over again, in an attempt to completely repeat the lie into the truth. "It turned out that he ordered everyone to resist the Tang Dynasty because the Heavenly Bandits were cruel, and the Tang Dynasty was kind. If the battle is undecided, we will open the city to welcome the Tang people. If things change, there will be a river of blood in the city. And the Tang people have always been merciful, even if we are a little late for two days, we must not be too embarrassed. Don't be afraid, everyone. All the blame for the guilt was borne by the old man alone. I don't want everyone to be grateful to him, I just hope that everyone can keep their duties in the future and live a peaceful life! ”

Let's hope so. The people shook their heads and sighed as they closed their courtyard doors. For another day, it was a joke of the big guys. Whether it's the truth or a lie, ordinary little people are only qualified to listen, if they want to risk their lives to compare the truth, then they really can't do it.

Tancha Shiluo City fell without a fight, and as Feng Changqing expected, it was somewhat unexpected. As early as when he made the decision to besiege the city and send reinforcements, he believed that small countries like Jiandaluo and Dabolu were not qualified to decide their own fate at all. **'s strength is higher than that of the big cannibals, then these small countries will immediately become vassals of the Tang Dynasty. And in case the strength of the big cannibals in the vicinity gains the upper hand one day, ** also counts on the loyalty of these small countries.

It's just that Feng Changqing didn't expect that Prime Minister Jian Daoluo surrendered so decisively, and "washed his mind and changed his face" so neatly. The conditions of surrender brought by sending envoys were even more than those obtained by coercion and inducement in Dabolu. This made Feng Changqing a little unbearable, and he couldn't bear to seek justice for the lord of Jiandao Luo too much. Fortunately, when the army was first raised, "supporting the lord of Jiandaluo and eliminating traitors" was not in his interest. At present, the remnants of the Great Food Army have not been completely annihilated, and he does not want to leave a hidden danger behind the Anxi Army. Therefore, after just a little pinching, he accepted the invitation form brought by the envoy of Jian Daluo and a group of "high monks".

According to the conditions put forward by the Grand Minister of Jiandaluo, Ai Min, on his own initiative, the country returned to the scope of the Tang Dynasty's protection. The rulers of the past dynasties were not allowed to take over the throne if they could not be canonized in the Central Plains. And the princes, the younger brothers, and the descendants of the nobles at all levels in the country have to go to the Tang Dynasty to study for three years after the age of twelve. After being able to "understand the law, know the etiquette, work and write, and be educated", they can return to China to assist their parents.

Because of the previous coercion by the Great Eater Manla and the "few traitorous ministers", Jian Daoluo was disrespectful to the Celestial Empire. Therefore, after the country has set things right, all the rebels and traitors and the missionary Manla will be executed. confiscate their property and compensate for the expenses incurred in administering justice. And it is financed by the state treasury to make up for the shortcomings.

As a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty crusaded against foreign invaders in the future, Jian Daoluo must provide all the assistance he could. including grain and grass, baggage, and servants and horses. Officials and soldiers at all levels obey the dispatch of the commander of the Tang Dynasty and prohibit it, otherwise, they will be dealt with by military law. If you dare to secretly collude with the enemy army like Qarluch, you will voluntarily bear the double punishment of the gods and **, and you will never be reborn.

In addition, Tancha Shira completely abolished the strict doctrine of the Celestial Sect, which allowed only the belief in a single god. All Buddhist and Zoroastrian monasteries that had been occupied by the Celestial Sect were renovated with donations from the nobles and returned to their original sects. The decree of the Heavenly Sect prohibiting women from going out on the streets alone, showing their faces, limbs, and wearing colorful clothes was also abolished. The people could worship any god or choose not to believe in any god, and their state was not allowed to interfere with it.

……..

The nobles of Jiandaluo themselves took the initiative to put forward it, plus Feng Changqing and his staff members added after discussion, there were more than 40 items, which were brought back to the city by the Jiandaluo envoys in the morning, and were fully accepted by the prime minister Ai Min and others in the afternoon. The next day, Emin came forward in place of the lord of the country and formally pleaded guilty to **. Then, Tancha Shiluo City opened all the city gates, poured clear water on the streets, loess cushioned the road, and put up lanterns to welcome the king into the city.

Immediately, Feng Changqing and Ai Min, the prime minister of Jiandaluo, exchanged articles in the palace in front of all the generals and nobles in the city, swore to the heavens, and always kept the promise. The text was then transcribed into Chinese and Turkic by the interpreters, engraved on the front and back of the stone tablet, and erected in front of the palace of the king.

A series of red tape tosses ended, and the officers and men of the Anxi Army also recovered from the fatigue of the war. The scouts sent out to inquire about the news reported one after another, and the remnants of the Great Eater regrouped near Gaburo, two hundred miles away, with about 50,000 horses left, still under the banner of the Eastern Crusade Holy War Army, ready to continue to survive by taking advantage of the nearby hilly terrain.

"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin! Hurry up and ask Feng Shuai for help, I will be a pioneer with you and pick this gang of evil obstacles! Xue Jingxian quietly tugged at Wang Xun's sleeve and commented with a sneer. Having witnessed how the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty broke through the formation and destroyed the country, Le Shi is inscribed, and his self-confidence has now swelled to the extreme. I was reluctant to return immediately, I just hoped to go west with the Anxi Army and plant the banner of the Tang Dynasty in every land within my vision.

Of course, the benefits aren't just mental. A chase led north, and there were more than twenty enemy heads assigned to him. The three people were killed, and the three were promoted to one level. Go back with this credit, and then be slightly supported by the prince's forces behind you, and the robe on your body will change to a different color just around the corner.

"I'm afraid it won't be my turn!" Wang Xun turned his head to look at him and responded in a low voice. "Wait a minute, Feng Shuai has his own arrangements!"

Before the words fell, a voice of war had already sounded around him. Li Siye, Zhou Xiaofeng, Zhao Huaixu and others came out one after another, asking to serve as the vanguard and completely clean up the remnants of the Great Eater.

"Plough the court and sweep the hole!"

"Plough the court and sweep the hole!"

The generals came out and scrambled to be the first. Fame but take it right away. The Tang Dynasty man disdained to hide his desire for power and wealth, but he wanted to exchange his fame in the Ten Thousand Horse Army in a dignified manner.

"Li Yuanqin led five hundred people to assist Jian Daoluo to defend the city!" The veteran Feng Changqing was also infected by the surrounding atmosphere, and stood up with a big laugh. After more than two years of lying on the salary, he finally led Anzai Erlang to regain his former confidence and honor. The joy is indescribable. Now, he doesn't want to wear a brocade robe to enter the Yumen Pass to receive a reward, he just wants to spread the prestige of the Anxi Army farther in his lifetime.

"The other generals, go down and reorganize the army. Early tomorrow morning, the camp will march westward. To be washed away thousands of miles of black dust, Feng should be with the kings! His voice was not high, but it resounded throughout the tent.

"Wash away the black dust!"

"Wash away the dust!"
