Chapter 25: The Barbarians
"Central Plains people? How many cavalry do you have? Gulshail asked, blinking her amber eyes.
Ye Zhao knew that she was asking how many people she had brought, and said, "Three hundred." ”
Gulshayir's face showed a slight look of disappointment, and Afaf muttered to her, thinking that the Central Plains cavalry was so powerful that they beat the Andijan people in Ush, Kashgar and other cities.
Gulshayir didn't seem to believe it, but she just chuckled twice, looked at Ye Zhao with exotic eyes, and said, "A hundred Andijan, not as good as one Central Plainsman?" Are you the warriors of the Central Plains? ”
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Geger Si Tusi, your grazing land is as far as the official road of Topuluk, you must be very familiar with this area, do you have a map for my reference?" Can you send someone to show me the terrain in this area? It is better to have a more dangerous terrain through which the official road passes, or in other words, I don't know if there are rivers and bridges on the official road to Yarkand. ”
Listening to Afaf's translation, Gulshayir said: "I will personally take you there early tomorrow morning, there are no mountains and big rivers on the official roads in this area, and there is a small stream in the east of Topuluk, which is the blessing of the river god of the Yamanyar River to the Topuluk people. ”
Ye Zhao nodded slightly, turned his head sideways and said a few words to Urden, Urden went outside to give an order, he wanted to make combat preparations for the various troops scattered in Kashgar, Ingishar and other places, and ordered the tribes to do combat mobilization, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Agubo Department of the Hui army in this Tuopuluk area.
Aguba, the butcher of Central Asia? Ye Zhao smiled.
Seeing Ye Zhao's smile, Gu Li Xiayier's contact lenses were even brighter, and he always felt that this Central Plains man had an indescribable aura, looking at his smile just now, there was a taste of looking down on the world, a kind of laziness that seemed to be faint, he didn't care about anything, or rather, there was nothing worth caring about, it was the real pride in his bones.
At night, Ye Zhao was arranged in the guest room, which was also a snow-white yurt tent, hung with embroidered giant tapestries and drapery of mythological stories. There are purple sheets on the bed, beside the bed and at the head of the bed, and the kang is covered with carpet felt, and on top of the felt is a brand new futon, which is full of exotic style.
I took a shower in a wooden barrel and changed into colorful Kirgiz pajamas, which were plush and knitted, and it was comfortable to wear.
Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard Urden talking outside the tent, and the guards must wait outside all night tonight.
Hearing that it was Gulshayir's voice, Ye Zhao said, "Urden, let her in." ”
The curtain was lifted, and Gul Shayir, who had changed into a thin red dress, walked in, all kinds of silver jewelry on the thin skirt were shining, towering jade peaks, plump buttocks and seductive curves undulating, coupled with her amber contact lenses bursting with aggressive and bold eyes, exuding the temptation of the wild surname all over her body.
"Yes, what, right? What about Afaf? Before Ye Zhao's words fell, Gul Shayir had already taken two steps, grabbed his hand, and said, "We, mine, for the first time, give it to you, okay?" ** Spicy eyes stared at Ye Zhao's face.
Ye Zhao was stunned, but he didn't expect Gul Shayir to be so bold, but before dinner, Afaf and her were alone for a while, because Ye Zhao also knew about Agubai's forced marriage, and thought that Gul Shayir had already made up his mind to marry that demon for the sake of the clan, but he was not reconciled, so he was ready to find someone who was pleasing to the eye and gave it the first time.
Feeling the heat transmitted by the little white fat hand, Ye Zhao hurriedly shook off as if he was burned by the fire, and said, "Gul Xiayir, don't worry, we will defeat Agu Bai, you don't have to marry him." ”
The speed of speech was fast, Gul Shayir couldn't understand it, but Ye Zhao's refusal was naturally obvious, Gul Shayir bit her lip, suddenly grabbed Ye Zhao's hand, and walked to the side of the bed. Ye Zhao tried hard to earn it back, but Gul Shayir had a lot of strength, and took Ye Zhao to walk a few steps and arrived at the bed.
Ye Zhao shook off her hand and said with a calm face: "Please respect yourself!" "Ye Zhao has always been very gentle with girls, but this woman doesn't seem to make sense to be reasonable, and what is this? Do you think of yourself as a plaything, a man's memory?
Gul Shayir is extremely wild, the more disobedient this Central Plains man is, the more brutal she is, and her reputation is spread outside the clan, and she is condescending and dedicating herself for the first time, but this Central Plains man is twisting and pinching, which is really infuriating.
Suddenly, he hugged Ye Zhao's waist with both hands and pressed it to the bed, Ye Zhao hurriedly struggled, but he didn't want Gul Shayir to be a good wrestler, and with a "bang", he had already thrown Ye Zhao into the bed.
Outside, Urden heard a strange sound, hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, but saw outside the purple curtain, stretched out a pair of soft-soled official boots and a pair of red velvet delicate leather boots, needless to say, the official boots are the master's, the small velvet boots are naturally Gul Shayer, looking at the ambiguous entanglement of the official boots and the small velvet boots, Urden's heart beat twice quickly, and he hurriedly retracted his head and did not dare to look again, and even did not dare to think there, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
In the brocade tent, Ye Zhao had already held down Gul Shayer's hands and pressed her firmly on the bed, Gul Shayir gasped violently, Xiao Man's waist stood up again and again, struggling hard, although she couldn't help Ye Zhao's brute strength, but her eyes breathed fire, and she wanted to break free from Ye Zhao's hands again and again, that look wanted to kill Ye Zhao, but finally, gradually lost her strength, her body was weak, lying on the bed and panting violently, and the towering jade peaks that were prouder than Khantelek Mountain fell together, which was extremely attractive.
Ye Zhao was shocked in his heart, it was really a rouge horse, and she had been struggling for half an hour, and this barbarian woman was really evil.
Seeing that her snow-white wrist was slightly red and swollen by herself, Ye Zhao couldn't help but apologize a little and said, "I can't blame me for this, it's your strength that struggles by yourself." ”
Gul Shayir just stared at Ye Zhao with hatred.
Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, and saw that her snow-white velvet hat was crooked to the side, so he went to help her straighten it, but Gul Shayir shook her head to the side, and the hat was picked up by Ye Zhao in her hand, but she saw that her waterfall-like countless thin braids were sprinkled as if she had broken free from the shackles, with all kinds of silver threads, silver rings, and colored beads, lining her skin with snow, amazing beauty, but also more untamable.
Ye Zhao wanted to put a hat on her, but she tilted her head to the side again, helplessly, Ye Zhao touched the velvet hat, but it felt good, so he put it on himself and said, "It's quite comfortable to wear." Seeing Gul Shayer's eyes erupting fire, Ye Zhao straightened his face and said: "You are a beautiful girl, and I thank you for your love, but we just met today, how can we get over?" What's more," Ye Zhao paused and said, "What's more, I am the emperor of China, you are the tribal patriarch, and the southern Xinjiang is undecided, and there are many entanglements of right and wrong between you and me, how can I mess with you?" ”
Ye Zhao's series of words came out, and Gulshayir still couldn't understand it, but the words "Emperor of the Central Plains" were harsh, but she heard it, and when she was alone with Afaf, she naturally asked about Ye Zhao's identity, and Afif only said that Ye Zhao was a minor official in the Central Plains. Because Gul Shayir is not clear about the situation in southern Xinjiang, and Gul Shayir's surname Afaf is very clear, if Ye Zhao is a big official in the Central Plains, maybe this sister will tie up Ye Zhao and sacrifice it to Agu Bai in exchange for the peace of the tribe, compared with the survival of the tribe, sisterhood can only be ranked behind.
Now listening to Ye Zhao say "Emperor of the Central Plains", Gul Shayir thought that Ye Zhao was afraid of the orders of the Emperor of the Central Plains, because he heard Afif say that the military discipline of the Central Plains Army was excellent, and now he came out to reconnoitre, and he did not dare to covet women.
"Coward! Useless men, you Central Plains people are all cowards! Gulshail snorted coldly from his nose.
Ye Zhao saw her grunting, and her amber-like charming contact lenses were full of disdain, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The first time we met, you want to rape me, who wants to despise whom?" Anyway, she didn't understand, but she could say anything, seeing that her face was still full of disdain, she reached over, and played her with a brain breakdown, and said with a smile: "If you want to be in the Central Plains, you must be arrested and imprisoned, do you think that women are not guilty of rape?"
Gulshail was shot so painfully that her eyes were even more angry, like a beautiful leopard that had been enraged.
Ye Zhao stretched out his hand to help her put on her hat, turned around and lay on the bed, and said, "When you have strength, you can go by yourself." ”
After a while, Gul Shayir suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed one of Ye Zhao's arms, and wanted to use the wrong bone method to remove Ye Zhao's arm, Ye Zhao's arm was in severe pain, seeing that she was actually going to twist her arm into a weird angle, if she really succeeded, the joint would definitely be dislocated, she was busy struggling hard, and grabbed Gul Shayer's wrist with both hands, the two twisted, twisted, and fought, and after a few minutes, Ye Zhao restrained her, twisted her arms behind her and pressed her on the bed, Gul Shayir bent her knees hard and tried to struggle to get up, Ye Zhaosuo turned over, Sitting on her hips, holding her down and not allowing her to move.
It was another struggle, to say that at the beginning Ye Zhao had no distracting thoughts, but he felt ridiculous, and his thoughts were all about subduing her, but when Gu Lixiayier's strength gradually dissipated, the struggle was no longer intense, but he slowly bent his knees, and his slender and powerful waist led his hips to arch, but he was slowly pressed down by Ye Zhao, who was sitting on her. Gul Shayer's struggle became slower and slower, but Ye Zhao's heartbeat was faster, looking at the barbarian girl who was sweating with her arms by herself, and feeling the feeling of the clouds rising slowly with her amazing elastic hips, Ye Zhaoke was a little panting, and he had been abstinent for a while, even if he couldn't stand it anymore?
Finally, Gulshail collapsed on the bed again, her face buried in the quilt and gasping violently.
Ye Zhao hurriedly got down from her and let go of her hand, but saw that her wrists were getting redder and redder, Ye Zhao was helpless.
I didn't dare to lie down, so I sat beside her and said, "If you do this again, I'll call someone to take you back, and see who is embarrassed!" "That's what you say, but you can't really do it, even if the Kirgiz tribe is not as good as the Central Plains Rite Religion, but this is not a good thing after all.
Gulshayir gasped for a while, turned over suddenly, looked at Ye Zhao hatefully, and said, "I'm going to kill you!" Use your head as a stirrup for me! ”
Ye Zhao didn't understand, seeing her angry look, angry and funny, and seeing her red and swollen wrists, he thought about it, jumped out of bed, and came to the outside of the tent.
Ye Zhao went to ask him for safflower oil, and said, "You go to sleep too, we have to go to work tomorrow morning, so as not to lose energy." ”
Uldon was busy and said, "The servant still has a quarter of an hour, so let's go to sleep." ”
Ye Zhao knew that the Ouchi guards took turns to keep vigil, and it was useless to say it himself, so he turned around and entered the house.
Safflower oil is a potion extracted from herbs by Chinese medicine practitioners to treat bruises, and it has also applied for a patent, and many people who practice martial arts such as Urden carry it with them.
In the brocade tent, Gul Shayir's eyes were extremely unfriendly, and Ye Zhao didn't care whether she had a knife or scissors in her eyes, he reached out and grabbed her hand, and applied safflower oil to the red and swollen part of the snow-white wrist to slowly help her knead it.
Gul Shayir was stunned, but still looked at Ye Zhao with hatred.
After smearing and kneading her hands and wrists for a while, Ye Zhao smiled: "It doesn't hurt, right?" Seeing that she was still looking at herself with hatred, Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Are you still finished?" Reaching over and brushing it lightly over her face, she closed her eyes, otherwise she would be stared at, but it really felt like a man's back.
Gul Shayir subconsciously closed her eyes, Ye Zhao's hand swept over her delicate face, and her palms were even more itchy by the bridge of her towering nose, and her heart couldn't help but flutter.
Gulshayir suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Central Plains people, you say, do I want to marry Agubai?" ”
Ye Zhao didn't understand either, he sat on the side of the bed, took out a cigarette, lit one, and the barbarian woman was on the side, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with smoking.
The two sat quietly like this, Ye Zhao finished smoking a cigarette, Gul Shayir sat up, and Ye Zhao, who was snuffing out the cigarette butt in the small plate, was startled and hurriedly made a defensive posture.
Gulshail, however, giggled twice, jumped out of bed, and went away like the wind.
Ye Zhao stood stunned for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
…… On the second day, Urden gathered the cavalry in front of the tribal camp, and Gulshail also led a carmine horse over, and she changed into a red cloth embroidered short dress worn by a Kirgiz girl on horseback, with silver buttons on the cuffs and placket, and small red brute boots on her feet, which was heroic.
Gulshayir seemed to have forgotten about last night, and only occasionally glanced at Ye Zhao's gaze, but he was still not very friendly.
Just as he was about to set off, the sentry guards in front of him came to report on their flying horses, and a few miles away they saw a group of more than 100 people, including carriages, horses, and foot soldiers, who were coming to this side.
Gulshail's face changed, and with a command, some herdsmen mounted their horses and galloped away.
Waiting for the herdsmen to return, without a clairvoyant mirror, you can also see a line of black dots on the green grassland in the distance that is gradually getting bigger.
"It's the Andijanites from Yarkand, the team that greets relatives." Afaf said beside Ye Zhao.
It seems that the Andijan people in the Yarkand area are still operating according to their usual surnames, although the news of the loss of Kashgar must have reached Yarkand, but this Burke city lord still has no sense of urgency, obviously the matter that Commander Agubo has already explained is his top priority, of course, marrying a Kirgiz Tusi will not affect the preparation for war.
Seeing that the black dot was gradually getting bigger, Gulshayi rode up to Ye Zhao and said, "You guys should hide." ”
Ye Zhao didn't squeak and made a gesture.
Ouerden shouted loudly: "Outflank left and right!" Not a single one to stay! "As soon as the horse rushed down, the red whirlwind composed of the horsemen immediately swept away.
In the distance, the Andijan people who came to greet their relatives saw the red-clothed cavalry speeding quickly, and pointed and laughed: "The Kirgiz people also know that they are doing a happy event today? ”
"Hehe, I heard that their female toast is more beautiful than the fairies on the Tianshan Mountain."
When this welcoming team was sent out, Ingishhar's battle report did not reach Yarkand, although they heard that the Red Cavalry of the Central Plains had captured Kashgar, but they would not have connected the galloping cavalry with the Central Plains.
Waiting for the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment to get closer and closer, looking at the military uniform, the Andijan people were a little stunned, and suddenly someone exclaimed: "Central Plains people? The Praetorian Cavalry of the Great Emperor of the Central Plains? But it was too late, the red-clothed cavalry had already raised their sabers, and the sea of cold blades swept into the ranks of the Andijans, and they immediately screamed again and again.
The red-coated cavalry galloped across the country, and in the sound of the horn, they charged back and forth three times, and the Andijanites were almost slaughtered, leaving a dozen foot soldiers to flee in all directions, and the red-clothed cavalry immediately divided into several teams to pursue, and saw that one by one the routs were drowned in the sea of snow-bright blades.
Gulshail's face changed drastically, and he was intimidated by the might of the Central Plains cavalry; Second, the welcoming team from Yarkand was killed, and I was afraid that the disaster of extermination would not be far away. No matter how good the people of the Central Plains are, they can't quench their thirst from far away.
She didn't say much, just whispered a few words to the elders of the clan around her, and then rode her horse to catch up with Ye Zhao and drove east with the cavalry.
…… Ye Zhao and others, under the leadership of Gulshayir, detected the two banks of the Yamanyar River, a tributary of the Yamanyar River, which was called by the locals as the Yuepur River and the official road.
In the evening, Gulsha'il took his leave.
After observing for a long time on the banks of the Yupur River, Ye Zhao ordered the cavalry to mount their horses and rush to Ingishal.
And Ye Zhao's expectation was really good, Ingishal had been broken by the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and the infantry battalion, at this time there was a whole regiment of Xiao Cavalry Guards in the city, two infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, and a reading regiment, with a total of more than 2,000 people in the three battalions. The infantry who arrived in Kashgar from Aksu, except for an infantry battalion and a regiment of cavalry divisions to defend the city, the rest of the army horses were also rushing towards Ingishhar.
In the southeast of Ingishal, Topuluk had a decisive battle with Aguba's main army, and Ye Zhao's abacus played well, but he didn't know if Aguba would enter the urn.
He discussed with the generals of Yetuwa, Deling, Baihu, Shi Qingyun, Kou Hai and other generals the idea of setting up an ambush in Topuluk, and sent people to the Kirgiz tribe of Zikman to recruit surrender, so that their tribe could recruit strong men to support the emperor's [***] team to fight. Now that the Emperor's [***] team occupies Ingishal, they can ensure the safety of the entire Qi Keman clan.
Returning to the study in the courtyard of his residence, Ye Zhao looked through the telegram sent from Dihua 800 miles quickly.
The first message surprised Ye Zhao, but it said that Shawa was pregnant, and it should be a few days later than Rong'er, but she was ignorant, and she didn't ask for a royal doctor until her mother found out that she had a violent pregnancy reaction.
Shawa's mother was afraid that she would be dizzy, so she wrote a letter, made a telegram and sent it to Ye Zhao, to the effect that she would take good care of Shawa, the emperor did not have to worry, he fought with peace of mind, and paid attention to safety.
There were a few more political telegrams, but it was nothing, under the general framework that Ye Zhao had already established, the imperial economy was moving forward in an orderly manner.
The telegram from the right minister of the Government Council Jingshan flicked the chin of the left minister Li Xiaocun, Ye Zhao just smiled and swept it, the check and balance of the left and right phases was originally the fruit he planted, and this was also the skill of the emperor's balance.
And the women each took a telegram, and they couldn't help but be affectionate, which made Ye Zhao's heart fluctuate, and he really wanted to settle on the western Xinjiang and return to Beijing to meet them.
In the following telegrams, there were reports on the war in southern Xinjiang by newspapers such as "Yue Bao", "Ning Bao", and "Jingshi News", of course, only limited to the report on the emperor's recovery of Karasar and other places.
Despite this, these newsprints are without exception not a great praise of the Great Emperor, and if the news that the Great Emperor led three hundred light horsemen to conquer the first city in the south of Tiannan is transmitted back to Jingshi, it may not be able to stir up some kind of fanaticism among the people.
The last three telegrams attracted Ye Zhao's attention, the first one was that Cheng Yi, the minister stationed in Tibet, had arrived in Lhasa and got along very well with the local monks and nobles, but Li Xiucheng had the rest of the army, and in the conflict with the local nobles in Tibetan Province, many nobles were executed by him, and Zhao Sanbao's department officially marched into Tibet Province to quell the rebellion.
The second telegram, the "Oriental Daily" in Tianjin, was full of propaganda and slandering the new policy of the empire, and the newspaper was soon seized, and it was said that the workers of its small printing factory had infiltrated the Fairness Party, although the "Oriental Daily" was ranked outside the top ten tabloids even in Tianjin, but this incident naturally aroused Ye Zhao's alarm, and the struggle line of the Fairness Party seemed to be changing.
Ye Zhao quickly drafted a secret telegram, ordering Ruisi's internal affairs office to step up the investigation of the fairness party organizations in various places and punish the fairness party members.
The third telegram was a secret telegram from Taho Xing, and the fleet returning from London established contact with the Bantu and Boers in southern Leviya (Africa).
That's good news.
At present, the interior of Africa is still in a state of fog, and the partition of Africa by the European countries is far from complete. In Orange and the Transvaal, however, there is a huge amount of gold.
Taking a piece of the pie in Africa is naturally in Ye Zhao's plan, but how to achieve it is to think about it, because the road is extremely long, and for the eastern countries, this is almost an impossible task.
Thinking about what was in the message, in the morning, the envoy who went to the Kirgiz tribe in Zikman to announce the report returned, the Kirgiz tribe went a fine way, and the messenger chased for a while, almost lost, and had to come back to report it.
Ye Zhao was silent, it seems that when the Xiao Cavalry Guards slaughtered the Andijan people, Gulshayir had already decided to move the whole clan, and when she and herself came to Topuluk, her clan had already begun to migrate, and the herdsmen everywhere wanted to go separately to inform them.
It seems that the patriarch of Gulshayir is not a wasted name, although the surname is wild, but he is decisive, he can afford to let go, if he changes places, he will do the same, after all, I don't know who will win in the end between the Central Plains army and the Andijan people, for the survival of the whole clan, leaving the land of right and wrong is the best choice.
There is no time to send people to find his traces now, so we can only think about it later.
(To be continued)
