Chapter 196: Divergence
Abdullah's messenger did not come empty-handed, but brought a gift to Marla, a list of Abbasids.
Although Michelle and Zhao Yang had previously obtained a list of Abbasids from Kufa City, they were still lacking compared to the one given by Abdullah's envoy.
Mulu was the lair of the Abbasids, and many of the ministers of the caliphate came from Mulu, and now all the lists of Khorasans who served as ministers in the court of Mansur in Kufa City are already in the hands of Ma Lu.
After getting this detailed list, Ma Lan naturally wanted to take action.
Although the families of these important officials of the caliphate temporarily obeyed the Tang army, when the Kufa army arrived, they would be the standard leading party. In order to prevent problems before they happen, it is naturally impossible not to kill.
In the previous three days of plunder, the Anxi army had already released a large number of slaves, so all the people in the more than 20 Dehegan families on the list were not too many.
More than 2,000 heads were cut off by the Anxi army, and the city of Kufa was quiet for some days.
This is done in order to eliminate future troubles, and in order to gain a foothold in the city completely, some means must be done.
β¦β¦
Although the knife has been sealed, the Anxi athletes still can't forget those beautiful Persian women, and private harassment is still indispensable. Ma Lan wished that the Anxi men would leave some more seeds in the bodies of Persian women, but Du Yu waited for Duan Xiushi to be intolerant of this kind of guy who did not obey military discipline, and he was also extremely dissatisfied with Ma Lu's laissez-faire if he caught it.
The truth is naturally on Duan Xiushi's side, and Ma Lu also understands the importance of military discipline, and finally decides to send these guys who can't control the lower half of their bodies out on an expedition to sweep a few small towns in the east.
Let these killings leave Duan Xiushi's sight, so as not to make Duan Junzi unhappy, but there is no restraint on military discipline in the order, anyway, there are many beautiful Persian women along the way, and they can indulge as much as they want.
Since it can't be killed, bloodline fusion is also a way, this is what Ma Lan thinks in his heart, of course, such a secret idea naturally can't be said to someone like Duan Junzi.
After sealing the knife, there were still such bad deeds found out that there were more than 1,000 people, but as soon as the order came out, there were four or five thousand people who came when they assembled, all claiming that they had done a lot of Persian women after sealing the knife, and they also violated military discipline, so they should have participated in this march, so angry Duan Xiushi gritted his teeth.
I still have to wait for more detailed information from Kufa's side, and there is no combat mission in Mulu City for the time being, and the recruits have only been on the battlefield once on the edge of the Wuhu River, and the training is far from enough, so Ma Ling agreed to these guys and asked Tian Mingyuan to go out of Mulu City with more than 4,000 kills, only bringing dry food for three days, and killing them to the east like locusts.
Ma Lan gave Tian Ming the task set by Yuanyuan, and he could kill as far as Balhei. Because if it's farther, it is estimated that it will not be able to come back in two months.
Two months later, Kufara's army should have entered the province of Khorasan, and these killers were almost half of Ma Lan's troops, and they had to participate in this war at that time.
Balhei, also known as Barihe, was the Balkh province of Afghanistan in the era when Ma Lan lived, and in the Tang Dynasty, Balhei was an extremely important city in the province of Khorasan. In order to occupy the whole of Khorasan, it is not enough to conquer a wooden deer, but also a famous city like Balhei.
After conquering Balhei, further east are the small countries at the southern foot of the Green Mountains, so that the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence is connected, and half of the Khorasan province is already in the palm of its hand.
β¦β¦
Thousands of murderers who had violated military discipline happily left Mulu City, and the result was that the military discipline of the remaining Anxi Jian'er suddenly became worse, and Mulu City became chaotic. The harassment of Persian women secretly in the past has become semi-public, and the Persian women who are more beautiful do not dare to go out, and later those who are ordinary in appearance are also suffered.
The development of events was beyond Ma Lan's expectations, and only two days later, even the tax collector Batim could not stand it anymore, and had the courage to come to the governor's mansion to ask Ma Lan to strictly enforce military discipline.
The angry Du Yu waited for Duan Xiushi to report Ma Lu, and directly ordered the killer and cut off the heads of more than a dozen guys who killed people because of the resistance of Persian women.
"General, the Tang people are people, not beasts!" Duan Xiushi's long sword in his hand was stained with blood, and he stood outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion with red eyes. Beside him, were a dozen headless corpses.
Ma Lan looked at more than a dozen Anxi men with different heads, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sighed: "Chenggong, it's okay to beat a whip, why bother to be so ruthless?" β
"General, if this generation is not removed, heaven will not tolerate it! Those are all little girls who haven't grown up yet, where can they stand the humiliation of these beasts in turn! These guys aren't trying to ask for a fight, they're already crazy! Where can such a Tang person be considered a Tang person! Duan Xiushi glared at Ma Lan with red eyes, "The general thinks I am the capital of Yu, this is the first time I have killed so many people!" If the general still indulges military discipline like this, he is only afraid of disaster in the future! β
What does Cheng Gong mean by this? Do you have to use military law against me? Ma Lan frowned.
"Don't dare! The Son of Heaven ordered the general to be in charge of all affairs west of the quicksand, and if the general thinks that I am wrong, I am willing to die! β
Ma Lan looked at Duan Xiushi, smiled bitterly and shook his head, Duan Junzi was really angry.
It's no wonder that many things after entering Mulu City are beyond Duan Xiushi's tolerance limit, Duan Xiushi endured it for the benefit of Datang, and the torment in his heart can be imagined. And this time, the death of a few Persian girls who didn't grow up made him explode all of a sudden.
Ma Lan wanted the Anxi Army to leave more seeds in the body of the Persian woman in order to facilitate the integration of bloodlines, and naturally did not include such a Persian girl. But he was still very uncomfortable to kill his subordinates because of such a thing.
The truth is naturally on Duan Xiushi's side, and Ma Lan also knows that he is too indulgent to the athletes. Human beings are all animalistic, and usually have moral constraints, once the animality is released, the damage caused is extremely terrible.
The Tang people are so Tang people, and it is more of a cultural category. If the Tang people are really no different from the brutal barbarians, and there is no culture to speak of, they naturally cannot integrate the barbarians.
Moreover, such a thing as violating military orders is a taboo in the army. Whether these guys are hot on the robes who go out to make meritorious contributions, or simply can't control the lower half of their bodies, such a thing can't be tolerated, not to mention that this is a human life.
"Big brother, I think Duan Junzi has done a good job. If I saw such a guy, I would have slashed it with a knife. Ma Yong said in a low voice.
He didn't harass the Persian woman in those three days, but at this time he was on Duan Xiushi's side.
"Big brother, we are human, not brutes. No matter how happy you are, where can you harm people's lives like this. β
Ma Lan glanced at Ma Yong, then at Ma Qiang, and finally his eyes fell on the soldiers.
"Do you all think like that?" Ma Lan asked.
The soldiers looked at each other and nodded.
"Big brother, what Junzi Duan said is right. If military discipline can be disobeyed, such an army will not be able to fight a tough battle at all. Without the benefit of a strong bow and a crossbow, you may lose your courage. Ma Yong said in a low voice.
Ma Lan was silent for a long time and nodded.
Maybe it's too indulgent for these guys under him.
Ma Yong has a point, military discipline comes first. When he asked Duan Junzi to help him, wasn't it because he could make the athletes ban it? This time things suddenly became out of control, and it wasn't because of my own indulgence.
"Brother Cheng, I was wrong. In the past, I actually managed too much in military law matters, which limited your authority, and I will not do it in the future. In the future, if anyone violates military discipline again, even if it is a head, you don't have to ask me, just deal with it yourself. β
Ma Lan looked at Duan Xiushi and said sincerely.
Duan Xiushi exhaled heavily and put away the blood-stained long sword.
"General, the Anxi Iron Army has been in the Western Regions for more than 100 years, relying on strict military discipline. In the past, there was no Yuan Rong crossbow, and every battle was to attack the crowd with less, win more and lose less, how can it be done without military discipline constraints! It's a good guy who spills blood on the battlefield, and it's really a pity to die for a scum like this! I dare to say that there are not many of these thousands of athletes in the city, except for you, the general, who think they don't deserve to die! I killed these people, no one would mutiny, and these dozen guys themselves did not resist, because they knew they deserved to die! β
"General, the Anxi Army has not yet become a beast soldier, but if it continues to be indulged like this, it may not be in the future! How is it different from beasts and beasts to eat people? The general could not bear to kill all the aliens, and he was unwilling to restrain his subordinates, how could this land really be owned by Datang in the future? The general's efforts today will only become a laughing stock in the future! β
ββ¦β¦β
Duan Xiushi looked excited and began to speak at length. The reader is the best at this, influencing your judgment with something that sounds plausible, and instilling his own ideas that are not necessarily correct.
Naturally respects Duan Junzi Ma Luan, but Ma Lan just listens to his words, and does not really take them to heart.
As a human being in two lives, he has long been like an iron stone. The death of a few Persian girls did not cause much turmoil in his heart.
Duan Xiushi may really think so, but Ma Lu still believes that violence can solve everything. How many of those who have conquered this land are not orcs?
However, even if it is a ruthless person in later generations, such as HΓΌliegu Torre, Guo Kan and others, it is not that they do not pay attention to military discipline, and orders and prohibitions are the most basic requirements for the army, and they still have to be done. Being soft-hearted towards his own family is a weakness that Ma Lu can't change, so he can only rely on Duan Junzi to rectify military discipline.
Gaining a foothold must be done by brutal means, and cultural influence is carried out after gaining a foothold. Trying to influence culture in the first place is too hasty.
Ma Lan has told Duan Xiushi many times about these truths, and it seems that he has forgotten them under his excitement.
But as far as today's incident is concerned, although Ma Ling regrets it, these guys do have a way to die. If this kind of thing happened in Datang, Ma Lan would be the first to be unable to tolerate these people.
"Gather it and bury it. According to the old rules, 150 yuan is given to the family. Ma Lan waited for Duan Xiushi to finish speaking, looked at the corpse on the ground and said softly.
"No!" Duan Xiushi looked excited and said loudly. (To be continued.) )
