Chapter 262: In the City of Tabriz
Shi Xiu and Qin Fang were in Tabriz City, and the seizures they obtained were indeed as rich as expected.
In a country like the Ilkhanate, which has always been on the path of robbery, the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years of unremitting plundering is simply astronomical.
You know, even a city like Constantinople, the Khan of this country has also captured it several times.
In the end, the seizures obtained by the armies in the palace of Tabriz alone are almost enough to compare with the gains of Li Zhe's crusading army in capturing the entire territory of Manchuria, all kinds of gold, diamonds, pearls, agate, piled up like a mountain, and there are countless rare treasures, even Shi Xiu and Qin Fang are difficult to identify.
Of course, the main capture needs to be properly handled by the Western Expeditionary Army and transported back to Mengzhou, but as a friendly army, the Marquis of Heaven and Qin also have the opportunity to get a share.
But now the main problem is not this, but the swelling of the servant army in the city has really become a problem.
Previously, there were more than 300,000 servant troops brought by the two armies to the city, but when they entered the city, the Zoroastrian ascended and shouted, and the two of them had more than 200,000 more under them.
Among them, 100,000 were originally the defenders of the original city, and like their leaders, they directly voted for the Western Expeditionary Army, but the remaining 100,000 were voted in one after another after listening to the propaganda of Zoroastrianism.
At present, Shi Xiu's subordinate army has swelled to nearly 600,000, almost killing almost all the heroes of all ethnic groups in the vicinity, and most of them are cavalry, these guys gather in the city of Tabriz, and gallop noisily all day long.
Most of these guys were summoned by the Zoroastrian religion through the restoration of the country, and there were many heroes of various ethnic groups in them. The Tianzhu army marched westward and destroyed the Ilkhanate, a mountain that had been hovering over the heads of various ethnic groups in Central Asia and West Asia, but at the same time brought them ambitions.
The chaotic times are opportunities in the eyes of the heroes.
Who of these tribesmen, who had been ravaged for hundreds of years under the hands of the Mongols, did not want to establish a state, and who did not want to become a new king?
But the people below don't know, he Shi Xiu and Qin Fang are very clear, and the governor above has never thought of restoring the country to these guys.
Therefore, how to deal with this matter in the past few days has become a big problem for everyone.
With this matter hanging in my heart, no matter how great the great achievements of everyone are, no matter how many treasures there are, they can't make people's hearts feel at ease!
The two of them were having a headache, and in front of the palace gate in the distance, a loud voice shouted:
"The Holy Maiden has arrived!"
Two columns of Hestia in bright armor surrounded by a group of alien beauties in the middle.
The eyes of the two lit up, if you want to ask who is the most glamorous in the city of Tabriz these days, it is not Fang Chen and Qin Fang, the two conqueror generals, but the former Zoroastrian saint, the concubine of Li Zhe, the prince of Tianzhu today, Hestia.
Although before she came, this woman did not have a name by the side of the Grand Governor, but once she returned to Mengzhou this time, once she returned to Mengzhou, the queen was unwilling, and I am afraid that she would have to agree with the prince to give this woman a title, at least a side concubine.
This time, the role played by the former saintess of Zoroastrianism in the war is not trivial, that is, now, the Tianzhu army has occupied Tabriz, and most of the leaders of the servant armies of various tribes in the city only recognize this holy woman, and are unwilling to directly accept Shi Xiu's dispatch.
This woman's identity is too popular in what is now the city of Tabriz.
Who in the Ilkhanate does not know the prestige of the famous god general prince, since Hestia is that woman, and she is a Persian, and she was once a Zoroastrian holy woman, which makes several Zoroastrian popes also faintly take her as the leader, and want to borrow her hand to directly surrender to Li Zhe's name, rather than only succumbing to Shi Xiu, a mere general.
Therefore, the form in the city is very subtle now, and the key to solving the problem is only in the hands of Tia, a woman, that is, Shi Xiu and Qin Fang, who are as precious as the prince of Tianfang, but they have to rely on Tia here.
The woman who has the power is radiant, and her face seems to be radiating golden light all the time, forcing people to dare not look directly.
Tia strode forward and sat directly on the throne of the former Khan King, Shi Xiu and Qin Fang hurriedly stepped forward to salute like subordinates, and then said:
"How? Did those people say yes? β
Tia leaned on the throne, exuding amazing charm, and shook her head:
"Nope. Now that these people have gathered, it will be difficult for them to put down their swords and guns. β
"Besides," said after a pause, "even they themselves are unwilling to let go of their military power!" β
They are talking about the high-level leaders of the Zoroastrian army, and the vast majority of the nearly 600,000 servant army is in the hands of these people, and the Western Expeditionary Army and the Feixiong Army each only picked up a very small number of elites to make up for the losses.
These guys have soldiers under their commands, who will be willing to disarm them and return to the field, it is really difficult for Hestia to persuade them to disband the military power in their hands, and at this time, even the orders of the Western Expeditionary Army are not very effective for them.
When Qin Fang heard this, his brows furrowed.
And Shi Xiu was even more angry,
"No, that can't be! The governor of the capital has clearly ordered that it is impossible to restore the country, what else do they want, they refuse to disband the military power, do they still want to make some trouble? Hum! Hum! Shi Xiu smiled fiercely, and her face was already furious.
What do those people want? Could it be that Ronghua and wealth are not enough, and they still want to rebel under his Shi Xiu's nose? Hum! 600,000 Hu people, it sounds amazing, but in his Shi Xiu's eyes, it's just a local chicken and a dog, is it really a big deal to be a big man?
Hearing this, Tia laughed:
"No, General Shi don't be angry, things haven't come to that point yet!"
Kindness? What do you mean?
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Qin Fang asked.
Tia stretched out a Qianqian finger and shook it:
"Let them rebel, it's not quite possible! They are not stupid, they also know how strong Tianzhu's strength is now. In this attack on the Ilkhanate, we only sent a partial division, which everyone knows, and no one in this land dares to disobey our orders now. Their wish is justβ"
"Just what?"
Tia smiled again and said, "They just want to restore the glory of their ancestors, and at the same time, they want to take this opportunity to seek a little benefit for each other." After all, with such an army under his command, how difficult is such an opportunity? Such an opportunity is no longer possible. β
When Qin Fang heard this, he nodded, and it was quite reasonable to say this.
The purpose of these people is also just to bargain?
In this way, things are still turning around.
After all, such an army, even in the eyes of Qin Fang and Shi Xiu, it would be a pity if it was disbanded like this.
