Chapter 474: No Mercy

The green card is less than the size of a palm, and the patterns printed on it are exquisite and intricate, which is the latest color printing technology of the Ma family workshop. This printing method is enough to ensure that this kind of card will not be forged.

This kind of thing has been preparing for more than a year ago. For the Hu people, this is the qualification to become a Tang people, a symbol of privilege and status.

The card is dyed green, but it's just a little bit of Ma Lan's bad taste. The hinterland of the Great Food is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and even if it is occupied, it is impossible for the Han people to move here on a large scale for the time being, so for a long time, the Han people will be a role as conquerors here, and it is impossible for them to become the mainstream of the local population. Therefore, in the future, the Tang people will become a privileged class in this place. And this green card will be a certificate of entry into this privileged class.

Before Hermes-epitek failed to form a majority of the population, Hermes-Epitek's position in the homeland of the Great Food was actually similar to that of the Arabians and Yemenis in the past, but the difference was that the Tang Dynasty would always have an overwhelming advantage in armaments, so something like the Abbasid Revolution could not happen again. In the future, with the reproduction of the population, the Han people will eventually occupy this area completely, and when the Han people population dominates, this land will be completely shrouded by the Han culture.

At that point, this identity credential may lose its meaning, but at this time, with the strong military backing of the Anthy army, the card's appeal to the Persian Dekhgans is obvious.

The small card waved in the hand of the Tang general, and the Dehgans stared at the card with great eagerness.

This land will be owned by the Tang people who came from afar, this is a fact recognized by everyone. The Tang people's force was too strong for even the caliph to resist, let alone them.

The Tang people's march was like a thunderbolt. No one can resist it, and choosing to cooperate with the Tang people is their best choice. And this situation has just begun, there is no possibility of changing in a short time, and the land will have a new owner, for the Persian Dekhgans. The most important thing is to hug the Tang people's thighs, and it is best to make the Tang people see themselves as their people.

Now, however, there is such an opportunity. As long as they can write their names on such cards, they will be able to get the same treatment as the Tang people.

Compared to the hyena-like and greedy Arabyans, the Tang were a more suitable ruler, and although the Tang army was extremely brutal and slaughtered cities at every turn, the Tang people collected much less taxes than during the Umayyad period. And the things that the general said, the preferential taxation when doing business. In the event of an accident, property can be preserved, and children and grandchildren will automatically become Tang people...... All of them are very attractive.

Of course, the most attractive thing is that they can live on their family forever. For these ancient families, this is an extremely important guarantee.

A sense of security is extremely important to anyone. The reason why the Central Plains civilization is glorious and has never been cut off since ancient times is because it has given the largest number of people in history the possibility to live and work in peace and contentment. For these Persian Dekhgans, they also need a sense of security. Especially in times of such confusion. And now, just become a Tang person. He and their families will have a real sense of security, at least as long as the Tang Dynasty rules the region.

Dozens of De He stared at the green card with dry eyes, and the Tang general smiled and put the card back into the brocade box, and carefully received it in his arms, and De Hegan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"General, how many dinars are needed. To become a Tang person? The city lord hesitated for a moment, and asked with a smiling face.

The other Dehgans also looked over, their eyes full of anticipation.

The general urged the war horse to walk forward, and said with a smile: "Whether you can become a Tang person or not has nothing to do with Qian Bao." Look at your loyalty to Datang! ”

Looking at the city lord, the general smiled: "Like you...... Hehe, the general appointed you to continue to be the lord of the city, and you only need to pay your due taxes every year, provide adequate protection for the Tang people who pass by, kill every Arabic and Yemeni you see, and get rid of those Mawari who die without repentance and persuasion...... To do these things well is your faithfulness, and when the time is right, you will naturally be able to obtain this thing. ”

"As for you—" The general glanced at the Dehgan and said with a smile, "as long as you keep to your duty, be respectful to the Tang Dynasty, pay your taxes in a timely manner, and assist the tax collectors in apprehending the Arabians and Yemenis...... When the time comes, it will be recognized by the tax officer, and the tax officer can also ask you to obtain this qualification. As long as you are loyal to my Datang, you can become a Tang person without spending a silver coin, if you are hostile to my Datang, how many dinars are useless, my Datang needs money, and I will use the sword in my hand to get it! ”

Dehgan nodded, and said in his heart that these conditions are actually not conditions, they are not harsh at all, and they are easy to achieve. The city lord who had been appointed as the tax collector was a light in his eyes, and said in his heart that since the other Dehgans needed to pass through him if they could become Tang people, then his power was even more important. With this permission alone, there are a lot of articles that can be done.

The green card has been put away, but it is in the hearts of these Dehgans. The army passed the pass and continued to move forward, and in the distance on the horizon, a city was already looming in view......

When the army came outside the city, it did not enter the city, but set up camp outside the city. The lord of the city returned to the city with the Dekhgans, and it was not long before the city was in chaos, and smoke rose everywhere.

The Persian Dekhgans gathered their warriors and began to carry out the orders of the Don army, and began to liquidate the Arabians and Yemenis in the city. They were outnumbered, and the Arabians and Yemenis were outnumbered and were no match for the Persians at all. In order to show loyalty to the Tang generals outside the city, the Dehgans were extremely ruthless, leaving no room at all, and it was not long before a large number of camel caravans with a large number of heads were driven out, and the heads were handed over to the Tang army for inspection.

On the Tang army's side, groups of scouts dispersed, blocked all exits of the city, and directly sniped the Arabians and Yemenis who wanted to escape from the city. However, these people have become too cowardly, so there are not many people who try to rush out of the city, and most of them are cowering inside the city like quails, hoping to avoid this catastrophe.

A large number of human heads were piled up outside the city gates, getting taller and taller as time went on. The killing in the city continued, and the heads were still being sent. More than two hours passed, and the city lord took the Dekhgans and carried away a group of people out of the city to report to the Tang general. They have searched the city several times, and all the Arabians and Yemenis they can find have been killed.

More than 2,000 heads, which is basically half of the city's residents. General Tang nodded, looking extremely satisfied.

Persians are still the majority of the inhabitants of the Persian homeland, and the proportion of the population occupied by outsiders in the Persian homeland is about a little more than 20%. According to the general, there were about 12 million people in Dingkou, the homeland of Persia, four times that of the Tibetans, or a little more than half of the Tang people. Of those 12 million people, the descendants of foreign Arabians and Yemenis are basically 3 million. By this rate, almost as many Arabians and Yemenis in the city were killed.

He didn't know how the general knew these numbers, and he didn't know why the general hated these people who believed in Hu Da so much, and he must kill them all. Of course, there are many things he doesn't know, such as why the great general was able to draw a map of the Persian homeland with his own hands, and why the great general was able to create all kinds of new ordnance.

There are a lot of things he doesn't understand, but as a young Zhuang officer in the Anxi Army, he has never thought too much. The general is omnipotent, and the general's orders are always correct, which have been fully verified in the past few years of campaigns. So for the general's words, he won't think too much, just accept the order.

At this time, it was time for the Anxi army to make a move. The purpose of the attack was only to deter these Persians.

The villages surrounding the city are also inhabited by Arabians and Yemenis. As military aristocrats in the traditional sense, they also had several military forts outside the city. And these places are just enough for the Anxi New Army to show its strength.

The Dehgans led the way, and the new Ansi army dispersed into hundred-man detachments, followed the Persian warriors into the surrounding villages, and it didn't take long to sweep the Arabians and Yemenis inside. Two villages, made entirely of Arabians and Yemenis, resisted slightly, but all struggles were in vain under the rain of arrows and fire and thunder of the Ansi army.

A small number of Arabians and Yemenis escaped by chance, and they all gathered to the nearby forts, and the new Ansi army did not pursue, and finally the large army slowly gathered under several military fortresses, and surrounded the hundreds of Arabyans and Yemenis inside.

These military fortresses are all earthen walls, but they are quite tall, and heads can be faintly seen on the walls, but no one dares to show their heads. The gates of the fortress were closed, and the inside was bustling with cries and shouts, but no one attacked from the top of the high walls.

Such a fortress was very similar to the Sogdian fortress in the middle of the river, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it did not have the slightest advantage in the face of the new army of Anxi. Even if the people inside dared to resist, it was nothing, not to mention that no one dared to come forward at all.

I have seen a lot of such pictures along the way. Now these Arabians and Yemenis are nothing more than a flock of cowardly lambs.

The Tang generals rode their horses and stood under a fortress, and hundreds of Anxi cavalry had already surrounded the fortress. After giving the order, several horsemen urged their horses, slowly walked under the fortress, lit the fuses of several powder packets, and then stuffed them along several firing ports.
