Chapter 272 Investigation
Li Zicheng and Tian Tianhao talked for most of the hour, and the content of the conversation revolved around two things: believing in Catholicism; Naturalized as Han Chinese.
God has rewarded the Xining army with a lot of new things, including the rifles that have just been used, and compared to God, the power of Allah Allah can only involve the far west, and once she leaves her wing, she can't take care of it.
Tian Tianhao reluctantly accepted it, and the moment he saw the Xining rifle wreaking havoc on the Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield, he had already been shaken when he remembered the words of the Xining auxiliaries, but let him change to God all of a sudden, in addition to being emotionally difficult to turn, he repeated his old tricks and wanted to bargain with Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng snorted coldly: "Anyone who does not want to believe in God is the enemy of the Xining Army. ”
Thinking of the Xining Army...... In particular, the Mongolian cavalry, which frightened the Hui people, in front of the Xining cavalry, was completely wiped out in a moment and turned into a pinch of dust, and Tian Tianhao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
At the critical moment, he made a decision and chose to convert to Catholicism, and Li Zicheng's face showed a hint of brightness, but Tian Tianhao would not accept the matter of naturalizing him as a Han no matter what, "The Hui people have been living in this land for hundreds of years, in the far west, and our ancestors, why do you want us to naturalize as Han people?" ”
"You also know that the ancestors of the Hui people lived in the West, where Allah was blessed, but you fled to the land of the East, this is a betrayal of Allah, and Allah will not forgive you, Tian Gongzi, see if Allah has given you any care over the years? Where was Allah when the Mongols killed your brothers and sisters and robbed you of your food? ”
The issue of religion is extremely complicated, if you clear your mind, it will be much simpler, the key is faith, Li Zicheng drew from the bottom of the kettle, and first erased Allah from Tian Tianhao's heart.
Of course, this is not enough, if there is no strong enough strength as a guarantee, it is basically impossible for a people with their own beliefs to be completely classified as Han Chinese, especially the group of people who believe in the horror religion, and they are completely different from the Han people in appearance, although they have been mixed for I don't know how many generations, but if you look closely, their Aryan blood is still obvious, blue eyes, colored hair, and some less obvious features: deep sunken eye sockets, broad faces, and high raised eyebrow bones......
If given a free choice, Li Zicheng would rather wipe them out of the Han land, either go back to the West and continue to follow Allah, or take a shortcut to Heaven and go directly to Allah.
However, in the area of Dabanshan and Datong River, there are too few Han people, and a large amount of land cannot be developed.
The opportunity is only for a moment, if the Xining army controls a large number of Han people, then these Hui people may only choose the second way.
"My lord, Allah cannot take care of us, but I have already converted to God, why do you force us to become Han?" Although Tian Tianhao is guilty of Jing pleading, he doesn't want to be a sinner who returns to Huiren, if he is classified as Han nationality and returns to Haomen Town, how can he go to see Daddy?
"This is all Han land, God's sphere of influence, if you refuse to become Han Chinese, then please leave here and return to the place where your ancestors lived, I don't know if your people can still accommodate you," Li Zicheng said with a cold face, and there was no bargaining at all, "The imperial court treated you favorably back then, because the northern Mongols were troubled, and temporarily agreed to let you manage this land in the form of tusi, but now it ......"
"How's it going?"
"Now the imperial court wants to take back the Han land, abolish the Tusi, and collect grain and grass, even the Han people living here may also resume their military status," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "You have two choices: either change to God and join the Han nationality, or please return to the place where your ancestors lived, there is no other way!" ”
"My lord, we have been living in this land for hundreds of years!"
"Even if you have lived for thousands of years, it is also a place where you borrowed the Han people, so speaking of which, this time we have to settle the problem even more, lest you occupy the land of the Han people in the future," Li Zicheng raised the whip high, he was not worried that Tian Tianhao would not give in, the Xining army had already come, and those who refused to submit would be killed directly, so as not to have another incident in the future, "If you choose to be the enemy of the Xining army, it will be very good, Mai Ligan has just left, will he not come back for a while and a half, and the Xining army is idle and idle!" ”
"Your ......, my lord"
"Does Tian Gongzi want to choose blood? More than 1,000 people, in front of the Xining army, how long can they survive? Even if you can't ...... all at once What we have is time, slowly consume it, the Hui people here will become extinct sooner or later," Li Zicheng is ready to throw out an olive branch, Tian Tianhao has no way to retreat, except to take the olive branch, he has no choice, "Tian Gongzi, I said that I want to give you a great credit." ”
"What do adults mean......"
"Convert to Catholicism and naturalize as a Han Chinese, this is the only choice, otherwise, it is to face the butcher's knife of the Xining army, you know, the butcher's knife of the Xining army is sharper than that of the Mongols," Li Zicheng took a sip of tea, let Tian Tianhao's little heart rest for a while, and said: "If Tian Gongzi can do this well, for the Xining army, there will naturally be some credit, but for the Hui people living in Haomen Town, it is a great credit, they not only save their lives, but also live a better life." ”
Tian Tianhao pondered for a long time, and then said leisurely: "Can adults really make Huiren's life better?" ”
"Tian Gongzi, once they become Han Chinese, they will be my people, if we can't make them live better, who will want to produce food for us in the future?" Li Zicheng got up and patted Tian Tianhao on the shoulder, "Tian Gongzi, if the Xining Army has ill intentions towards them, do you need to go through such a lot of trouble?" The current Xining Army is in Kadang City, only a few dozen miles away from Haomen Town......"
"My lord......" Tian Tianhao looked at Li Zicheng with blank eyes, it seemed that as long as Li Zicheng raised his hand, the Hui people in Haomen Town would be like the Mongols, leaving only a pile of ashes of fertile soil.
"Tian Gongzi is a smart person, he should understand the current situation faced by the Hui people, as long as Tian Gongzi raises his hand and opens his mouth, they can avoid the disaster of blood and light," Li Zicheng sighed leisurely and said: "Of course, if Tian Gongzi is unwilling to serve the Xining Army, it doesn't matter, naturally someone will serve the Xining Army, I just want to give Tian Gongzi a credit." ”
"My lord......" Tian Tianhao's eyes changed, could it be that the Xining Army had infiltrated Haomen Town? Could it be Tian Boxin? He has always been on bad terms with Daddy, if he gains the trust of the Xining Army, what will happen to Daddy in the future......
"Tian Gongzi doesn't have to think about it," Li Zicheng smiled faintly, the urn has been built, can Tian Tianhao not go in? Wouldn't Wu Ermao's hard work during this period of time be in vain? "Tian Gongzi, I know that you have always bullied Han people, but I don't want to investigate the past, as long as Tian Gongzi cooperates with us, I value the future more."
"Your Excellency...... The villain didn't ......" Tian Tianhao was secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that Tian Boxin had already told Li Zicheng about Daddy's bullying of the Han people? It must be him, the old fox......
"Tian Gongzi, I know a lot of things, you collect the rent of the Han people, which is three percent higher than the Hui people, and also, the women among the Han people, you must do your best to choose the Hui people, and then forcibly believe in God," Li Zicheng's face was full of color, and said: "It's you Tian Tianhao, how to rob other people's wives and daughters, we also have an account, if Tian Gongzi is smart but is mistaken by being smart, then I can't complain about the Xining Army!" ”
"This ......" Tian Tianhao's heart suddenly set off a storm, if the Xining Army really wants to stand up for the Han people, then Daddy, as well as himself, will definitely become the target of the first wave of attacks by the Xining Army, it doesn't matter who informs the Xining Army, the important thing is whether the Xining Army will let go of their father and son, "My lord......"
"Tian Gongzi, your father is the big toast of Haomen Town, and he doesn't even pay attention to the imperial court, for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to die well, the Han people have an old saying, called 'things must be opposed', what Tian Gongzi can do now is to make a contribution to the Xining Army and atone for your father!"
Speaking of which, it is no longer a simple threat, but the Xining Army has listed their father and son as targets, but Li Zicheng gave their father and son a chance to reform themselves, if Tian Tianhao does not open his eyes again, it is disgusted that "joy is too short, life is too long".
Tian Tianhao's back was dripping with cold sweat, and his back was bare, completely falling into Li Zicheng's eyes, he knew that no matter how difficult it was to fight with Li Zicheng, the entire Haomen Town, just like his back, was completely exposed under Li Zicheng's nose.
If Li Zicheng was angry, then the Hui people in Haomen Town, especially their father and son, would inevitably be like the cavalry of Mailigan......
Tian Tianhao hurriedly got up and left his seat, and bowed in front of Li Zicheng, "Adult, the villain knows his mistakes, the villain is willing to atone for himself and Daddy, and beg the adult to give the villain a chance!" ”
"Tian Gongzi sit down!" The haze on Li Zicheng's face has gone for most of it, "I'm giving you a chance, otherwise I won't see you alone, before you walk out of the camp gate, the opportunity has always been yours, if you go out of the camp gate, Tian Gongzi hasn't seized it, then don't blame the Xining army......"
Although Tian Tianhao was seated, he was like a child daughter-in-law, but he was not as comfortable as he was at the beginning, only half of his ass fell on Ma Za, "My lord, the villain is willing to serve the Xining Army, ask the adult to show me the way!" ”
"Minglu, I have made it very clear, that is, to persuade your father to let all the personnel in Haomen Town change to God and naturalize as Han Chinese," Li Zicheng knew that things were over, and he was also happy in his heart, if he was about to let Haomen Town bleed into a river, I don't know how long it would be delayed, "Haomen Town is the flattest land along the Datong River, and it is also the place where the cultivated land is the most extensive, Xining Army intends to establish a county in Haomen Town, if your father can comply with the will of heaven, I will leave it to him as the magistrate of Haomen Town!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Tian Tianhao learned from the Han people and bowed his hand, "The villain went back overnight and persuaded Daddy to give up the position of the big toast!" ”
"This is not busy," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "Whether Tian Gongzi can convince you Daddy, I really can't predict, don't let my heart go to waste, I want to investigate Tian Gongzi's ability first, if Tian Gongzi does it well, I can come to serve the Xining Army in the future!" ”
"Adult......" Tian Tianhao's slightly blue eyes showed a blank look.
"It's very simple," Li Zicheng knew that Tian Tianhao was full of expectations, and he didn't pretentious, so he said: "Give you half a day to see if you can convince the two hundred strong men here." ”
