News of the capture of the Khiva Sultan's family quickly spread throughout the city of Kochkala and quickly caused an uproar. Camel

What made the civilians of Kochikala concerned was not the fact that the Sultan's family was captured alive, but one thing that the Xia army had openly announced before - as long as the Sultan of Khiva was captured alive, the civilians in the city would be spared from being slaughtered.

Now after hearing the news of the Sultan's capture alive, many civilians cheered, and everyone's hearts were filled with joy for the rest of their lives—regardless of their usual senses for the Sultan, at this moment, they were sincerely happy that the Sultan had fallen into the hands of the Xia army.

Because martial law was in place in the city, civilians could not go out into the streets to see the sultan who had abandoned them, and at the southern gate, where the traces of the battle had not yet been cleared, the Khiva sultans and their family were forcibly pulled out of the carriages, their hands tied, and dragged by cavalry.

Feng Zhengguang looked at the sick and staggered Khiva Sultan with a red face, and no one grabbed him for his exploits in capturing the Khiva Sultan alive with his own hands, and I believe that after this battle, his official position can be raised one step higher.

Behind the royal family members who were forcibly dragged through the streets, there were carriages full of wealth, and the Xia cavalry did not dare to touch these expensive trophies easily, for fear of getting themselves into trouble - after all, in the military discipline of the Xia army, hiding the booty without permission was a very serious disciplinary violation, and they did not want to be suspected and provoked.

After Mu Tianbo learned the news, he also rushed to the south gate as soon as possible, he looked at the high-level of the enemy country who was captured alive, his wrinkled face was also full of the joy of revenge, he had already thought about how to deal with these damn barbarians, but he did not forget that these people could only be sent back to Jiangning and judged by the imperial court.

Facing the onlookers of the Xia soldiers, Sultan Anusha's face was like ashes, his face had become very ugly because of his forced walking after being seriously ill, and now the two together were as ugly as a dead man's face. Camel

He was soon brought in front of Mu Tianbo, Mu Tianbo looked at the enemy sultan who killed his subordinates, and said with a sneer: "This is retribution, the thief offended me in the Great Xia, no matter how far he hides in the ends of the earth, my Great Xia King will arrest and bring him to justice."

The interpreter on the side translated the original sentence of Dadugo's words to Anusha, and the latter's face did not fluctuate, and after only a few seconds, his lips, which had become dry and cracked due to lack of water, began to squirm, and a faint and unpleasant voice blurted out of his mouth:

"This is what I deserve as a vanquished, but do not forget that no one can achieve a lasting victory, and with Allah above, you will surely go to hell."

After listening to what the translator relayed to him, Mu Tianbo couldn't help laughing, with a look of disdain on his face, and he said, "How many military towns are there in your Allah? However, the Xiyi Hypocrite, even if your so-called Allah appears in front of my Great Summer Son, you will be ashamed of yourself, and respectfully kneel on the ground and shout long live!"

"You! How dare you insult the great Allah like this!" Anusha's expression finally fluctuated, and he asked angrily.

"What if Pontushu is an insult?" Mu Tianbo sneered and said, "From now on, in this Khiva territory, the belief in the so-called Allah will be completely banned, if anyone dares to worship privately, punish the three tribes, and set an example!"

"You!" Camel

Anusha was so angry that his body continued to tremble violently, he struggled to rush up and die with Mu Tianbo, but as soon as he took a step, the soldiers on the side were quick and fast, and a rifle butt hit him in the face, which was too strong, and directly knocked out a few of his teeth.

"Take it away!"

Seeing this, in order to prevent any more moths, the officer on the side hurriedly ordered the soldiers to drag away the screaming sultan, and after he gave the order, he carefully looked at Daduhu, for fear that Daduhu would be dissatisfied with the actions of the enemy chieftain.

However, Mu Tianbo did not have any emotional fluctuations because of this, he flicked his cloak and returned to the Governor's Palace.

……

The amount of wealth seized by the Khiva royal family when they fled was quickly counted, and the Khiva sultans had accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, including those luxury goods, which were more than 3.8 million taels

The value of silver, which may not be much in the territory of Great Xia, is already rare to be placed in such a small country in Central Asia.

And the tens of thousands of prisoners of war who were captured in the Battle of the Jiezhan River, after thinking about it, Mu Tianbo still did not execute all of them, and used them as hard labor in desperate situations, making them struggle in a harsh working environment for the rest of their lives. Camel

The Khiva royal family was soon put in a cage and returned to Mengchi under heavy escort, and as the royal family embarked on their way back to China, the news spread quickly and once again caused unrest throughout the Khiva Khanate.

Because the first evil has been captured alive, Mu Tianbo ordered the slaughter order to be lifted, and asked all parts of the Khiva Khanate to take the initiative to open cities and surrender, and all those who took the initiative to surrender will be pardoned and acquitted, but if they continue to resist stubbornly, they will be severely punished.

At first, many Khivas were still worried, for fear that this was a trap for the Xia army, and wanted to trick them into surrendering voluntarily, and when there was no force to resist, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

However, after the first city ventured to surrender to the Xia army, and was indeed pardoned, when the news spread, many settlements also opened their gates and surrendered to the Xia army—now that the royal family has fallen into the hands of the Xia people, it is only a dead end for them to continue to resist.

Moreover, even if the Xia army carried out a massacre in Khiva City, as long as the butcher's knife did not really fall on their heads, they would not be angry about it.

The news soon spread to the Persians in northern Persia as the Persians fled to the Persian plateau, and the entire northern part of Persia fell into panic.

"The Khivas are defeated, so won't it be our turn next?" Camel

"Don't say it, get ready to escape, if the Xia people's army fights, if we don't escape here as soon as possible, when the Xia people come, those who die will be our fate!"

Even though the Xia army had not acted at this time, they were all afraid of the Xia army's murderous reputation, and they were worried that after the Xia army came, they would re-copy the butcher's knife and attack them.

When the civilians flocked to the city gate, they saw that the rich people who had received the news first were ready to leave in the carriage loaded with large bags and small bags, but the gate of the city, which was usually open, was closed at this time, and the heavily armed and solemn-looking guards stopped in front of the carriage to prevent the rich from passing.

"Open the gates! Let us out!"

"We're going out! You damn people, don't want us to be trapped in this city!"

"Open the door! My brother-in-law is a general in the army, and if he doesn't open the door, I'll let him slaughter you all!"

The city gate was noisy, and the rich people who were usually high up on the ground did not care about their image at this time, they screamed and wanted the guards to open the city gate and let them out, but the guards did not move no matter how they coerced and lured, and while the rich people were noisy, an officer with a full body strode up to the rich man, and he said with a serious expression: "Uncle."

"On the orders of the Emir (Governor of Mashhad), in order to prevent the Xia spies from infiltrating the city, all the gates of Mashhad will be closed with immediate effect, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who dares to trespass on the gates, regardless of status, will be hanged!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar at the city gate, and the rich people could not accept such a result, and they wanted to make a noise, but seeing that the Persian archers on the city wall had already pointed their arrows at them, under the threat of the glittering arrows, they still decisively chose to follow their hearts, closed their mouths, and silently retreated with the carriage.

In addition to the closed gates, the Governor of Mashhad also ordered an emergency conscription in the city, mobilizing the militia in the city to join the city defense army, and he ordered an inventory of the supplies stored in the warehouses in preparation for a long period of time.

In the palace of the Emir of Mashhad, the governor of Mashhad, Shahru Ali Sabili, watched General Fatil, who had been cleaned and put on a new robe, and after fleeing from Kochikala, he went straight into the palace of the emir, and he also proposed to close the gates and enter the state of combat readiness.

"General Fatil, I have ordered the conscription of troops in the city and sent messengers to Isfahan to report the battle

I believe that the Council will respond soon." Sabili said.

"I hope the Council will realize the gravity of the situation, the Khiva Khanate is almost extinct, and we alone may not be able to resist the offensive of the Xia army."

Fatil said in a solemn tone. Camel

……

Despite the complicated terrain in Persia, under the pressure of 100,000 fires, the messengers sent from Mashhad were able to reach the capital in only ten days at the cost of killing many fast horses.

For a time, the whole of Isfahan shook, and everyone in the council was also shocked!

"The Khiva Sultan has fallen into the hands of the Xia people, and there is no need for us to continue this war."

"Damn Fatil, we've buried our army, and we can only re-recruit our army now to hold the Khazarmasjed Mountains as much as possible."

"What about the Russians? Didn't those Slavic heretics promise us that they would attack the Xia? I don't see any sign of them doing anything!"

"Don't put your hopes in the Slavic infidels, I said from the beginning that the heretics are not to be trusted, that you stupid fellows have been deceived......"

Listening to the noisy appearance of the eunuchs, the prime minister of the court, Abdullah Ami Sabit, only felt that his head was big for a while, although he was a little accustomed to this, he still could not stand the sharp tones of those castrated men who were neither male nor female.

"Shut up!"

At last, Sabit slammed the table and roared, and his sudden power silenced the chattering eunuchs, who looked at Sabit in amazement, and after a while no one spoke.

"Miya-sama." One of the eunuchs said, "Do you have any good way to deal with it?"

Sabit didn't answer him, he said to himself, "It's useless for you to make noise here, it's an unchangeable fact that the Xia people have won a preliminary victory, and if we want to avoid paying more costs, we must make peace with the Xia people."

As soon as his voice fell, someone retorted, "Peace? The Sultan of the Khivas has fallen into their hands, and he will certainly leak our plans, and the Xia will certainly not accept our request for peace!"

"He's right, the probability that the Xia people agreeing to make peace with us is as small as the grains of sand in the desert, we can only continue to resist!" Camel

The other eunuchs chimed in.

"Then according to your thoughts, how can we fight the huge Xia Dynasty on our own?" Sabit asked dissatisfied.

"Look for the Russians!" One of the eunuchs said, "The reason why we are in this situation is because of the instigation of the Russians, and now that we are mired in war, how can we let the Russians watch?"

"Yes, if the Russians refuse to enter the war, we will directly send the evidence of their collusion with us to the Xia people, forcibly drag them into the war as well, and make those Slavic heretics pay!"

The other eunuchs echoed their approval, and Sabit saw their reaction, so he had no choice but to agree, and while ordering a large-scale mobilization in the country and recruiting a large number of young and middle-aged men to join the army, he sent people to provoke the Russian envoys stationed in the city and ask Tsarist Russia to enter the war.

In the face of the threat of the Persians, the Russian envoy Belinsky hurriedly sent the news back to China at the first time, and on behalf of the Russian government, he pacified the Persians, saying that the tsar would definitely give them a satisfactory answer, so that they would not act rashly, so as not to hurt the peace between the two countries.

But the Persians did not buy it, they knew that the distance from Persia to Tsarist Russia was long, and it would take several months, and when the Tsar got the news and gave them an answer, they were afraid that the Xia army had already crossed the Khazarmasjed Mountains, and they insisted that Tsarist Russia must send troops to the war, and only gave Tsarist Russia three months, if it did not send troops within three months, they would poke out what Tsarist Russia was agitating behind the scenes. Camel

The threat of the Persians filled Belinsky's heart with dissatisfaction, and at the same time he was full of worry, his concern was not only the threat of the Persians, but also the performance of the Xia people on the battlefield

In this way, the country that had lasted for hundreds of years was almost destroyed, and the royal family fell into the hands of the enemy.

Moreover, judging from the military reports from the front, if it weren't for the vast desert and Gobi in the Khiva Khanate, I was afraid that the speed of the Xia army would be faster, then the desert and Gobi slowed down the Xia army's offensive and gave the Khivas time to breathe, but the Khiva and Persian coalition did not seize this opportunity, and were finally defeated by the Xia army in a decisive battle.

Belinsky couldn't help but think of the domestic army, at this time the combat effectiveness of the Russian army was not strong, looking at the European continent, to say that the strongest combat effectiveness is still Sweden, which has just been reformed by King Gustav II, and the Swedish army dominates the entire Nordic Europe through this reform, which makes Tsarist Russia feel jealous of this.

If the Xia army directly attacked the European mainland of Tsarist Russia, with the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian army, I am afraid that it would be difficult to block the offensive of the Xia army.
