Chapter 646: Conditions of Surrender
The queue is a bit long, and Amin and Tuugdi are not acute and can wait.
"Hilcania? What a world to turn upside down!", Amin sighed with a distant gaze. As the former prime minister of Khorezm, he did not come here when he followed his previous sultan to conquer the Persian provinces.
It's just that at that time, Shilcania was not a city, but a slightly larger village.
But now, Shilcania really is a city. Walls made of huge stones, artificially built moats. The people who came and went, the guards who patrolled, all proved that this was a city.
He was no longer shocked by the extraordinary power of Da Yuan to do nothing and build a city on the ground. Especially after seeing with his own eyes the prosperity and prosperity in Khorezm, and the scene of a peaceful and prosperous group, he really thought in his heart that Li Chengji, the lord of the Great Yuan, was indeed the one chosen by Allah.
Otherwise, how can all the places you go be heaven on earth?
At that moment, Tuwugedi sat next to Amin, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. In fact, his head was awake all the time. A pair of ears also listen to the movement outside at all times.
It was also since he was left behind by Degunaba that he not only saved his life, but was also appreciated. And the murderous methods that I used to learn in the mountains have not been buried. Used to teach others and become an assassin in the hands of Degunaba.
Until the fall of the Western Qarakhanid, he thought that the assassins under him would all have to go back to their own homes and find their own way to survive.
But I don't want the department to contact them again.
At the same time, Degunaba also handed them over to Da Yuan, so now, they have become a killing weapon in Da Yuan's hands.
Tuugdi was the founder of the Assassin Order and is now one of the key leaders of the Division.
Three years ago, Tuugdi would never have imagined this day. Therefore, after gaining such power, he was also more loyal to Dayuan.
After queuing for a while, I passed the inspection and entered the city.
Because it is a newly built new city, the area of the city of Shilcania is not large. The location of the county guard was also very recognizable, so I rushed straight over.
took out the identity nameplate that had been prepared a long time ago, and the people in the county guard did not dare to slack off. They waited only a short time before they were invited.
"Amin is secret, come from afar, let's eat some tea!" , the county warden Kiyanush Jalaari said with a humble smile. Heteromy, the name given to officials in the land of Persia, is similar to the meaning of 'lord'. In contrast to Diwan, who refers to high-ranking officials, Heterometer Calculations refers to ordinary officials.
"This time, the old man has official business, and I hope that the county guard will be more convenient!" , Amin said politely. Although this man was a former official of Khorezm, he was not even worthy of being carried in front of him. But once a son of heaven and a courtier, he is now activated as a former emperor and became a special envoy for peace talks.
In terms of official position, it is indeed not as good as a county guard.
Kianush Jalali looked at the once looking being and bowed to him, and the vanity in his heart was greatly satisfied. But after being an official for so long, the code of conduct of being kind to others and not grudging is still known.
So he didn't show arrogance, but said with a humble attitude: "For the sake of national affairs, this official will do his best." ”。
After reminiscing like this, I had some tea and the meal began to be put on the table. Dayuan did not require officials to be hard and simple, but it was also strictly forbidden to be extravagant and wasteful. So the meals are not luxurious, but they are also quite hearty. Amin, who knows the inside story of officialdom, doesn't care about these things, and eats very hard.
It was only when Kianush Jalali was told that the messengers of the Assasin faction of Amin had arrived in Calus, a town west of Shirkania. It was the closest town to the Assasin stronghold, and was garrisoned by troops all year round.
The choice of the place for the peace talks was also the result of discussions between the two sides.
"Our Dayuan is sure to win, and there is no need to rush to see them. Hang it for a while, and they are in a hurry. Kianush Jalali said.
Now the Assasins are surrounded on all sides. There is only one way to die except to surrender. This is also the reason why the Assasin faction agreed to peace talks with Dayuan.
"Xie Junshou has good intentions!" , Amin thanked. As for whether you listened to it or not, it's another story.
Two days later, the town of Calus on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
To the north, you can see the vast Caspian Sea, and to the south, the rolling Alborz Mountains. The town is small and has few houses. However, there are many military tents outside the town, and it is common for men in armor to patrol around.
In the end, Amin did not heed Kianush Jalali's advice and deliberately stayed in Shirkania to waste time. Instead, they hurried and came to Calus to negotiate without delay.
After all, this is a good time to go on the expedition, and we can't afford to spend it here because of Assasin's business. Therefore, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible, and to attack the western frontier with all its strength as soon as possible.
Tuugdi's mission is to keep Amin safe, and there is no objection to this.
That night, in a wooden house in Calus, Amin met with an Assasin envoy. It was an old man with gray hair, but in good spirits. The face is full of red light, and a pair of eyes are extremely deep, thinking that he is a person who is very deep in the city.
Amin is not a novice official. has experienced ups and downs, and people have become a lot more sophisticated.
After each of them sat down to salute, Amin put forward Dayuan's request. As long as the Assasin faction converts to a sect, respect Li Chengji as the main thing. And the people accepted the control of the Great Yuan, and the decree of the Great Yuan was passed within the territory. Then the iron hooves of Dayuan will not step through the gate of Alamut.
In Persian, Alamut means eagle's nest. It was the center of Assasin faction rule and the base of their Assassin training. Due to the difficult terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that the Assasin sect has been passed down for a hundred years.
But that was once upon a time!
At that time, there were many governors in Persia, and various forces attacked each other, so that the Assasins were like fish in water and lived freely. Now that the Great Yuan had unified the land of Persia, the mountain roads where the Assasin faction communicated with the outside world were strictly checked.
The ruler of Alamut, Jalal-Din Hassan, immediately felt the lack of material and the difficulty of personnel. Because they could no longer take children up the mountain, nor could they bring supplies from the mountain into the mountain.
This is alive, to seal the Assasin faction in the mountains.
If that's all there is, Jalaldine Hassan wouldn't be in such a hurry. The point was that the Dayuan army stationed around the mountains set fire to it. From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it burned piece by piece. There was nothing left but ash and grit all over the ground.
It was under such military coercion that Jalal-Din Hassan finally softened his attitude and promised to submit to Dayuan. Now Amin came to negotiate with the envoys of the Assasin faction about the specific terms of submission.
That's why Amin doesn't want to waste time in Hilkania.
