Chapter 216: Class Teacher
"Ibrahim, don't want to get anything that doesn't belong to you!" Jafar. Sadiq said in a deep voice.
"That's enough, Sadigh! You are an Imam, but you have forgotten your mission as a son of Ali! If it weren't for the desire to regain the caliphate, why would we rebel against a hundred years! Ibrahim said loudly.
Ma Lan smiled and said, "You are the descendants of Haojie Ali, with the blood of the prophet in your body, how can you not have an army in your hands. Sadiq, the troubled times have arrived, and it is no longer appropriate to protect oneself wisely, and now is the time for Ali's descendants to rise again. You can choose to take this army with you, or you can choose to give up, and if you give up, these more than 10,000 devout believers, including both of you, will die under my sword. ”
Ibrahim shouted angrily, "Say yes, Sadiq!" Do you want all these devout martyrs to die here with you? ”
Jafar. Sadig looked at Ma Lan and said in a low voice: "Tang people, you are very despicable. You are not trying to help the family of Ali, you are trying to plunge Allah's kingdom into war and chaos. ”
Ma Lan smiled faintly: "Whatever you think, my patience is very limited." This city has been ceded to the Tang Dynasty by Abdullah, and it no longer belongs to you. Either take this army that belongs to the descendants of Ali and stay away from the territory of my Great Tang, or accompany these martyrs to shed all their blood, Jafar. Sadiq, Ibrahim, make your choice quickly. ”
"I'll take them away." Ibrahim exclaimed, "Jafar. Sadigh, we really need a real army. ”
Jafar. Sadiq looked at Ma Lan and said in a deep voice: "Tang people, you said that Abdullah ceded Rai to you, I don't believe it, I need to see the evidence." ”
Ma Lan nodded, took the contract from his bosom, and handed it to Jafar. Sadigh.
"From your Shabur to Rai, from your Shabur through Kerman to the seaside, you have been ceded to me by Caliph Abdullah. Jafar. Sadigh, you are opposing me in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which makes me very angry. For the sake of you being the descendants of Haojie Ali, I give you this opportunity. ”
Scholar Sadiq looked at the contract, and his face became even more ugly.
"Sadiq, Abdullah, what qualifies you to be a caliph! If we don't do it, Allah's kingdom will be destroyed at his hands! Sadigh, do you really want to watch something like this happen? Ibrahim took the contract, looked at it, and shouted angrily.
"Don, you won. Even though it was poison, Allah's people had to swallow it. ”
Jafar. Sadiq was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Ibrahim, if you want an army, then do it." I will hand over this army to you, and I will go back to the mountains. Ibrahim, knife in hand, I hope you will not forget that you are the son of Haojie Ali and do not turn your back on Ali's character. ”
Ibrahim nodded vigorously.
"Ibrahim, take your army to the west, a little farther away from Rai. When you're strong enough in the future, come back to me and try to become a true caliph now. ”
"Tang people, there will be that day."
More than 10,000 pious martyrs were untied. Sadiq spoke with a sad expression, and Ibrahim led the more than 10,000 people on the road to the west.
As for Jafar. Sadigh, accompanied by a group of students, chose a different path and left the ancient city of Rai.
Ma Lan looked at the Shiite martyrs who had gone away and was extremely satisfied.
After a hundred years, the Shiites finally have an army of their own.
Although this army is still very young, in the current chaotic situation, so many people are enough to occupy a territory in the black clothes.
If nothing else, the ambitious Ibrahim will soon be a caliphate. With the addition of the new caliph Abdullah, and the Umayyad caliphate in Córdoba, Spain, there are already three caliphs in Huda's kingdom.
There must be more Hari's presence in Huda's kingdom before the empire can truly tear apart. A fragmented Great Food Empire is the most in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
With this experience in this fight, it is believed that the Caliph of Ibrahim will no longer be foolish enough to attack the area near Rai.
There was a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty in the ancient city of Lai, and the order was naturally to be rectified. And the best way to rectify it is, of course, iron-blooded killing.
……
The original tax collector had already been executed by the rebels, but it was not difficult to choose a new agent in Dehgan. Not all of the Dehgans were involved in the rebellion, but in fact there were many more who were on the sidelines, all counting on the Tang to gain power.
A new tax collector was elected and became the new Belt and Road Party. The city was completely blockaded by the Anxi army, and the Dehgan and ordinary Rai citizens who participated in the rebellion were found, and then beheaded by the Anxi army.
The ancient city of Rai is a city that Ma Lan values very much, and this city naturally does not give the rebels the soil to survive. This time, because it was an outsider who instigated the rebellion, the city was not completely slaughtered, but the people who participated in the rebellion were killed.
There is another factor in the absence of the slaughter of the city, that is, Rai will be an economic center in this area, and if all the people are killed, it will be a ruin, which is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
Despite this, by the time the Tang army left, the population of the ancient city had decreased by three-tenths. Once followed Jafar. The Rai and their families who stood on top of the city could not avoid death as long as they did not escape from the ancient city of Rai.
……
An army belonging to the Shiites is extremely beneficial for splitting the Great Food Empire. The undisputed Jafar. Sadigh's appearance in the ancient city of Rai eventually led to the emergence of a Shiite army, which was extremely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
For Ma Lan, the rebellion in the city of Rai was a complete windfall.
The northern and eastern parts of the ancient city of Rai were covered with mountains, and many people escaped from the city and hid in the mountains, and the new army of Anxi needed to return to the river quickly, so naturally there was no way to pay attention to these guys, but Ma Lan still gave an order to the new agent of the Tang army, ordering him to continue to hold those involved in the rebellion accountable.
After the tax collector had assembled a new army to maintain order, Ma Lan left the ancient city of Rai with the Anxi army and headed straight east.
The order on this road was extremely stable, and at first you could still see the rebellious cities on the side of the avenue, but after leaving the ancient city of Rai for ten days, there were no rebellious cities to be found along the way.
Obviously, this large-scale rebellion was entirely centered on Rai, and it was Jafar. Sadiq succeeded in inciting it with his extraordinary prestige.
If no one rebels, there is no need to kill. So from here until you Sha Buer, the Anxi army's swords are rarely stained with blood, relying on the advantage of one man and three horses, the speed of the army's march has become extremely fast.
The ancient city of Shabuer is a hub in the future Tang territory, and its status is extremely important. After the army returned here, they saw that it was in good order, and many Persian Dekhgans of Herat, an ancient city hundreds of miles away from your Shabul, were waiting in your ancient city of Shabul, and when they saw Ma Luan, they immediately came to express their allegiance and were willing to take the Tang army to Herat.
These are also the leading party, but Ma Lan has no intention of taking Herat for the time being. After verbally praising these Dekhgans, and ordering them to return to Herat to wait, Ma Lan rested for a day in the city of Shabul, and then led the army straight to Mulu.
The road was unimpeded, and the Dehgans along the way prepared everything, the food and horses were extremely proper, and the rule was also in good order.
The Persian homeland had been occupied by the Arabians and Yemenis for almost a hundred years, but the Persian Dekhgans were still the real masters, and it was a great comfort to have these guys as their agents.
At this time, it was already freezing and cold, and winter had already arrived.
When the army arrived at Mulu, Khimura and the tax collector Batim were both outside the city to greet them.
The Turkic soldiers were brutal and murderous, but Khibi Ye was extremely respectful to Ma Lu, Ma Lan ordered him to stand guard outside Mulu City, he had not entered Mulu City at all in the past few months, and only picked up the scourge of nearby villages and towns.
Therefore, during this period of time, the order in Mulu City was extremely calm. The Persians in the nearby towns were unbearable to be harassed by the Turkic soldiers, and many of them moved their families to the safe haven of Mulu City, because the population of Mulu City has increased a lot now compared to when Ma Lu left.
From the beginning of leaving Mulu City, this expedition took more than four months to go back and forth. This is also due to the fact that the Anxi army is all cavalry, and it will take longer if the infantry were infantry.
The time of leaving was the end of July of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, but now it is the beginning of December of the thirteenth year of Tianbao.
According to the previous plan, within the thirteenth year of Tianbao, hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Eighth Army in the river will all arrive. According to the time, all the immigrants should have passed the green mountain.
Thousands of miles away, helping the old and the young, how many people will die on the road, Ma Lan has always been reluctant to think about it, but at this time, this problem has to be faced.
What he wanted was gradual immigration, but one of the decrees of the Son of Heaven was to stuff hundreds of thousands of immigrants in one go, and the original voluntary immigrants became forced immigrants.
However, since the black cauldron has been memorized, it must continue to be memorized.
The army marched into Mulu City, ready to rest here for a day. Ma Ling first settled Kang Lin'er and Ma Chen in the governor's mansion, and then took Niu Xu to see Duan Xiushi.
Four months should be enough for Duan Xiushi to return to normal.
……
Duan Xiushi lived in the mansion and was actually a prisoner, unable to go out at all. Ma Lu saw Duan Xiushi again and saw that he had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was excellent.
"Chenggong, I've locked you up for months, don't blame me." Ma Lan looked at this old friend and said with a smile. It seemed that Duan Xiushi had recovered, and he was naturally extremely happy.
"Shame, shame! General, I was plotted, if it wasn't for the general who found out in time, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Duan Xiushi looked ashamed and said continuously. (To be continued.) )
