Zuo Helin could not understand the thoughts of the Pars people.

According to the traditional Chinese concept, how can you be regarded as a king, even if you are an enemy, you should decide whether to kill or not, how to kill more and how to kill.

Even if you want to slaughter the sandbar, you should decide for yourself, how can outsiders impose the result on yourself?

Besides, the whole world is not the king's land, this sandbar has become the territory of the Central Plains regime in the previous dynasty, or even earlier, the Great Zhou period was only stolen by the pseudo-Xia for decades, and now, in the process of the Chinese army recovering the homeland, the sandbar was plundered by people further west ...... the Western Regions.

If you don't think about morality, it's easier to think about interests alone.

At present, China has no large-scale plans to go to the Western Regions (the core territory is not enough manpower), and for a long time, Huaxia's rule over the Western Regions is mainly indirectly ruled by local pro-China forces.

Therefore, the empire needs the hearts of the locals to China, but Huaxia has never liked the previous dynasties to buy off foreign races by giving a lot of benefits, but by integrating foreign races into the economic cycle chain so that they cannot leave Huaxia.

This approach was successful, but it took a lot of time to fully integrate the local economy, and now, what the Pars people are doing actually gives Zuo Helin an excellent opportunity.

"I don't know what these outlanders think."

Zuo Helin shook his head:

"Is this a chance to win over the hearts of the locals?"

Most of the local tribes, whether they were Dangxiang, Qiang, Uighur, Tibetan, and even Han Chinese, believed in Buddhism, and were very strict in opposition to the Zoroastrian Pars.

Although the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides are very frequent, there are countless wars, which is also the reason why the party members did not hesitate to levy the Pars merchants when they encountered problems, and the Pars merchants did not hesitate to betray the party members.

The two sides were rivals.

What's more, the Pars people have just brutally plundered the sandbar, and now they are using Pars' head to avenge the locals, do you think the locals will be grateful to the Chinese?

What's even more wonderful is that the Pars people mainly plundered the local rich (they also knew that time was short, so they picked up the richest ones), and directly acted as a white glove for the Chinese army, cleaning up the local upper class, so that the Chinese army did not have to dirty their hands.

The things they robbed, including the gold, silver, and wealth women, were too late to transport or hide them because of the short time, which was also a lot of income for Zuo Helin—the Pars merchant was also a wealthy man, and this was another windfall.

It's just a hundred benefits and no harm.

So why not do it?

"Take your men and arrest all the Pars on the sandbank."

Zuo Helin said to the Tubo officer who was the first to follow him:

"According to the rules of the steppe, all men taller than the wheels are executed, and women and children are enslaved."

"Yes!"

The officers of the Waibo were all excited.

Generally speaking, this kind of work of stealing rich households, the executor can earn some additional benefits, and Zuo Helin handed over this work to them, which can be regarded as a kind of profit-making behavior.

"Please rest assured, the little one will prepare an extra one for you privately."

"No, according to the rules, you take 30% for yourself, 20% for your tribe, and the rest are from the empire."

"Haha, my lord, the rules are all understood, let's talk about those little things that the court doesn't look down on."

From the Xujia 15th Tun near Juzhou, the military allowed each to keep some small pieces of war trophies, mainly clothes on the corpses of the enemy and supplies - in the early days, it was mainly a small amount of dry food, salt, knives and forks (yes, knives and forks were also found in the tableware in the East, and they appeared no later than in the West) and odd coins.

Now, even armor and self-defense weapons (such as waist knives) that have been lost on the battlefield can belong to individuals.

After all, the Chinese Empire is not a TG, and it can't do the level of PLA where all the seizures are returned to the public, and it can ensure that most of the loot goes to the public treasury, which is already considered a strict military discipline in this era.

Because of their interests, these Waibo soldiers who followed them all the way from Qinghai Lake also knew about this, and they even roughly figured out the blurred line between the Chinese military judges who had to pay the money and the spoils that could be left privately.

The spoils of war that can be kept privately are nothing to a country, but to an individual they are considerable, not to mention that the merchants of Pars are quite rich, and some small items that they carry with them are also quite valuable.

What's even more beautiful is that the empire doesn't collect taxes on these things!

Zuo Helin smiled and said indifferently: "Those things, so be it, you keep half of them, and the remaining half belongs to my people." ”

He's not a rigid person, and since the empire doesn't mandate that those little things also belong to the public, let's divide them.

"Yes!" All the foreign officers looked very happy.

Nowadays, the Han people are powerful, and everyone has to abide by their rules, which is also the rule of survival, so what can be shared outside the rules can naturally be taken.

It's just that before taking these things, the strongest person must take the lead in getting a copy first, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule on the surface.

"I did it beforehand before dividing a thing."

Zuo Helin reminded:

"Kill those who deserve to be killed, and their things are yours."

"Don't worry, my lord, it's not easy to kill a few people."

"Drag them to the city and kill them publicly, so that the whole city can see them." Zuo Helin said coldly: "Before killing, tell the people in the city that it was these Pars people who robbed them, and we are avenging them." ”

This is a bit of a strong argument, after all, it was after the Chinese army annihilated the local garrison that gave Pars's caravan an opportunity to take advantage of.

But people don't care about that, they only know that it was the Pars who robbed and insulted them, and the Chinese army helped them avenge them.

That's enough.

……

Because of the need to judge (albeit rudimentary) and execute all the Pars men in the city, Zuo Helin simply stayed on the sandbank for a while longer, and did not launch a new attack until the arrival of reinforcements.

After all, compared with other places, the locals in Shazhou have a much better perception of the Chinese army, so Zuo Helin simply decided to spend the New Year in Shazhou.

Of course, most of the locals are not the Spring Festival, but in the future, this is the territory of the empire, and it is still necessary to change customs, even if it is forced, Zuo Helin has to let the locals accept the customs of China, which is originally one of his tasks.

During the Spring Festival of 1792, Zuo Helin hosted a banquet for all the leaders of the surrounding tribes on the sandbank, and in a very rare way, established a temporary government in the city, which he would not have done in other occupied areas.

Of course, the new Shazhou government still emphasized the special status of the Han people in accordance with Chinese tradition.

The current local administrator is the Chinese military, and when Zuo Helin continues to attack, he will leave some more field army soldiers as the core ruling force, and then the grassroots of the city will be managed by tribes with Han Chinese blood, knowing that the tentacles of the empire really extend to this point.
