Chapter 419: Promoting Puritanism
Next, Li Chengji didn't encounter any accidents!
Especially after converging with the camp of the Abula River, I never encountered any mountain bandits who were not long-sighted. But the earthquake, which was experienced several times. However, they were all aftershocks with a low magnitude and a very short time, except for the war horses who were a little frightened, there were no casualties.
In such a hurry, it took more than a day to reach the eight meters.
Of course, if conditions permit, Li Chengji also wants to speed up. However, the safety of the mountain road is the first, and there are many sections of the road where even war horses cannot be ridden.
Therefore, it takes a lot of time.
At present, because Timur and Kalwang both led a large army to the land of Jicini, when Li Chengji came, Bami I only had 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison.
In the palace of Gurhan, a cadre of officials appointed by Timur came forward to pay respects.
This is the palace built during the reign of Sultan Kochening. Later, it was occupied by the Gur people, and it was renamed Gulhan Palace. After Be'uddin Shamu seized the land of eight meters, he took it for himself.
And in order to satisfy his desire for power, Beruddin Shamu renovated it on a large scale. not only spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but also ruthlessly searched the territory under his jurisdiction.
It can be said that in the Gurhan Palace, seventy or eighty percent of the wealth of the land of eight meters has been concentrated.
But now, it's all cheaper for Li Chengji.
"Lord of the Kingdom! This is the treasure book of the palace. Ermani, the guard of the eight-meter me, respectfully presented the treasure book of the Gurhan Palace and saluted. Now he is a hundred-hundred-hundred Although he is not as powerful as the commander of the thousand, he is still very satisfied with today's status.
After all, just a year ago, he was a humble soldier in Khorezm. Just because he acted as a leading party, he made a great contribution to the Apologetics. I was fortunate enough to join the Guardian Army and become a commander.
Such a situation makes him think about it now, and he feels that it is the protection of the true God.
Li Chengji nodded, and Ba Rahei reached out to take it. Because of his previous life-saving actions, Lee Seung-ji has appointed him as the temporary commander of the guard. It was also Li Chengji who wanted to hide people's eyes and ears this time, so Rabi Lasi followed the car and went to Bancheng County.
Only part of the guards, secretly escorted them to the eight meters.
Now there is no shortage of eight blacks, which is just right.
The lord of the city, Ibn Kelis, looked at it and said: "It is a blessing for the people that the lord of the kingdom has moved here at the beginning of the battle of the Eight Meters. ”。
The others listened, and they all chimed in.
As one of Timur's advisors, Ibn Kelis followed Timur's side.
Although he was fooled by Elmani at the beginning, he lost Guchang City. But Timur did not blame him afterwards.
It was for this reason that after most of the advisers had entered the Khorasan government as officials, he remained with Timur to help with advice.
This time the Persian army captured the land of Gul, and he followed.
Since after the capture of the Eight Meters, there is nothing major in the territory of Gur. And Bami I have a special status, and I need people who are good at government affairs and loyal and reliable to appease the people. Therefore, Timur took advantage of his position to place him here.
If there are no accidents, after the war in the land of Gur. Ibn Kelis is likely to be appointed by the ministry to become the true lord of the city. Therefore, Timur's arrangement also has his own selfishness.
But that's understandable!
In the end, Ibn Kelis was the old man who followed him, and he had to take care of it. In particular, Ibn Kelis's colleagues had been sent out as officials or into the Sixth Ministry. Timur could not let Ibn Kelis, who followed him, still be a powerless strategist.
"This king sees that Bami and I are prosperous, and the people's hearts are very peaceful, which is enough to show your political talent!" , Li Chengji praised with a smile. When I entered the Eight Rice Valley, the area did not seem to be affected by the fighting. In the fields, the people are still tending to the crops and grazing cattle and sheep. The businessmen are still open shops and make a living.
It seems that the city of eight meters has changed hands, and there are no twists and turns at all.
In fact, it is. Because the cathars took the lead in seizing the city gates, they occupied the whole city in a very short time. After a brief period of chaos, the people quickly returned to their original state of life under the pacification of the cathars and the original demoted generals.
Ibn Kelis was immediately flattered by such praise from Lee Seungji. He explained in a loud voice that it was because of everyone's concerted efforts and the prestige of the Guardian Army.
This statement immediately won the favor of everyone. Li Chengji also left a good impression that he was not greedy for merit.
After that, he said some things about government affairs, and Li Chengji also listened carefully. And under his introduction, I got to know several eight-meter generals who had defected to the Apologetic Army.
Li Chengji knew how to win people's hearts, so he rewarded them with some official positions and asked them to cooperate with Ibn Kelis and Elmani to take care of the eight meters.
The next day, Lee Seung-ji went to the mosque in the city to worship. In the presence of many believers, Lee Seung-ji asked the abbot the Great Imam about the teachings of the Qur'an.
And prompted the imams, including the Great Imam, to bow down to Li Chengji's attainments in the scriptures. Later, he announced on the spot that he had converted to Puritanism.
The believers present saw that the imams they respected had been converted. They were also fanatical and declared to be Puritans.
Hutu Bai also changed the name of Li Chengji to indicate the surrender of the whole city to Li Chengji.
Of course, it's all arranged!
Ibn Kelis and Almani had long promoted the influence of Puritanism in the city. For example, for the families of the people who were killed and injured in the war, in the name of Puritanism, they visited and sent food and clothing subsidies.
This is the warmth of the future generations!
It was originally on the eve of the Spring Festival last year. Li Chengji led a group of officials to visit several families whose family members had died in battle. After the deliberate propaganda of the Propaganda and Education Department, it was spread ten or ten hundred, so that the Khorasan government represented by Li Chengji received rave reviews.
When the local officials saw it, they followed suit. Li Chengji also hyped up this matter, so that the people in Khorasan really felt the kindness of the Khorasan government.
Ibn Kelis remembered the benefits of this method. After the eight meters were captured, he picked out a few typical examples and led the officials to give a good condolences.
The people of this era are still relatively simple! I didn't know that there was a deep suspicion of showmanship. Therefore, when I saw the officials who couldn't climb high in the past, I only felt that I had encountered such a good thing with the blessings I had cultivated in eight lifetimes.
Compared with the previous style of the Bami officials, he has made a firm choice to become a good citizen of Khorasan.
