Chapter Fifteen Your Family Is Suffering

"Khan, are you still hesitating until now?" Li Shouxin advised in Kalasha's palace: "Even if you are merciful and let Satuk go, when you get old, will your sons have the ability to deal with him?"

Augurchak was a little displeased and said, "My son is also skilled in archery and horses. Why is he worse than Satuk?"

"They are too young." Li Shouxin pointed out the most essential problem directly, and only heard him say: "Dunyu is your oldest son, and he is only seventeen years old this year, right? What place can he prove himself? Khan knows better than me about the grassland atmosphere. Satuk is nearly thirty years old, and it is the best time in a man's life, and the time of the greatest ambition. He led troops to battle many times and made many contributions. Compared with Satuk, what does Dunyu count? I speak badly, Khan forgive me."

It's not just a rude speech, it's simply pointing to Augustchak's nose, calling his son a "child". He has not achieved success and cannot convince the public. He can only be killed by his eldest nephew.

Augustak suppressed his annoyance and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"The emperor of the Great Xia does not want the princess to become a widow as soon as she got married." Li Shouxin said.

This can be said to be very naked. After hearing this, Augustchak became more and more irritable, and got up and walked around the hall.

Li Shouxin was a little disappointed, and it was the same again.

This Khan was really hesitant. If he had not been from a good background, how could he have ruled such a big country? He had advised him once before, and Altai had also persuaded him, and his words were much more straightforward than him, but Augurchak never made up his mind.

But if you can't make up your mind, your nephew may not be sure. In Li Shouxin's opinion, he is a very fierce person. He has trained on the battlefield and his character has long been unusual. If he drags on, you may die.

"Satuk has many supporters..." After a long time of turning, Augustīk suddenly stopped and said.

Li Shouxin was happy in his heart. He just wanted to not avoid problems and be willing to speak, which was much better than last time.

"Khan, it is because of his many supporters that it is becoming more and more dangerous." Li Shouxin said: "He is not the crown prince, but he has made so many leaders and nobles. What do he want to do? The Khan should think about it carefully."

"The Uighurs have many enemies. If they openly break up with Satuk, it may trigger a civil war." Augurchak was still a little hesitant. In his heart, his son is important, but his foundation is also very important and it is difficult to compare directly.

"The Persian lord is suspicious and turbulent. Where can there be enemies in the sight?" Li Shouxin advised: "It's better to take this opportunity to eliminate the major problems, and Persia is unable to interfere. If Persia has to straighten out its internal structure, things will not be so easy."

This statement is somewhat different from Li Shouxin's perception.

He carefully studied the relationship between Persia and the Uighurs over the past 20 years. In fact, in his opinion, Persia completely treated the Uighurs, Geluo, Turks, Ugus and other tribes as border troubles.

When the border troubles are too great, send troops to attack and shock the thieves. The areas that were captured rarely directly occupied, and mainly adopt the method of banish rule, that is, force local nobles to surrender to Persia.

Compared with the warriors, Persia sent more scholars, merchants, monks, etc. They went deep into various tribes to try to "Persianize" them, but so far, the results have not been very significant.

What does Saman Persia think of the Uighurs? Generally speaking, don’t always come to plunder my towns and harass my people. Stay away from me and do whatever you like.

This may be the nature of the farming nation. After all, few emperors of farming countries are interested in being the "Tian Khan". Just occupy several mature farming areas developed by Sogdians, teach the enemy a lesson and force them to surrender. How valuable is it to come to the grasslands grazing by Uighurs, Geluo, Ugus, and Turks?

"Satuk is my nephew after all..." Augustak had a last bit of hesitation.

"Khan, in the midst of life and death, he can't be distracted." Li Shouxin said: "Satuk has led his troops for many years. Maybe he is connecting with his old subordinates to win over the nobles who support him, and is preparing to be detrimental to Khan. These days, he has never been idle."

Today is April 20th, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Satuk has prepared in private. So what are you waiting for? When the whole agreement is completed in private, the preparation is complete, and then the mutiny is coming to the door openly to complete the mutiny?

Sometimes, Li Shouxin subconsciously linked Augurchak with those indecisive monarchs and powerful ministers in history, and was turned over in an advantageous situation, which made future generations laugh at for hundreds or thousands of years.

Augustak turned around again.

Li Shouxin waited patiently and did not urge him. Now that things have come to this point, he has done everything he should do. If this guy still can't make up his mind, then he has nothing to say. He can only suggest that the saint make the most difficult preparations. All the forces under the Uighur Kingdom should be solved by force, and don't fantasize about politics and win over them.

"Oh!" Augustīk sighed and said, "The messenger said something reasonable. Now that things have come to this, I can only..."

"Great Khan!" Altai hurried in and reported: "Satuk suddenly left the city."

"What are you doing when you go out of the city?" Augustīk was stunned and asked.

“At a speech…”

*******

"The philosopher said, if you are strong, don't trample on the people. If you are cruel, no one will support you when you encounter difficulties."

"How much tax did the King of Gongcao collect? How many evil things did he do? Warriors, your family must be suffering, right?"

"Tyrants cannot be kings, wolves cannot shepherd sheep. If you squeeze out excessive khans, you will be punished."

On the high platform, Satuk was passionate and shouted loudly.

More and more people gathered, most of them were people living near the suburbs. They were both farmers, herders, and warriors. When they heard Satuk's incitemental words, their faces moved slightly, and obviously they spoke in their hearts.

Compared with other old nobles, Satuk's image was very good, even too good.

He has his own behavioral norms and strictly abides by them and never breaks the rules.

He made many great achievements on the battlefield, and at the same time he lived a simple life, often helping soldiers and people who were in trouble, and countless people who had received his favors.

Therefore, when he stands up, it is naturally very convincing.

"The country I want to establish is that everyone has clothes and food, everyone has food to eat, and they win many battles on the battlefield, and countless spoils have been seized." Satuk continued, and more and more people gathered.

"I am willing to regulate everything about me, restrain greedy desires, and take only the share I deserve."

"If the Khan oppresses the people, he will betray his relatives and relatives in danger. If he always thinks about the people, he will be fearless in war, because the people of the whole country are all army and will be invincible."

"Adan's descendants are brothers, and brothers are like brothers and sisters. The original creation is one, and one limb is sick and spreads to the whole body. People do not care about the suffering of others, and are not worthy of being a false caller in the world..."

"Now, soldiers, take up your weapons and go into the city with me. Greedy, cowardly, and incompetent people are not worthy of leading the Great Uighur Kingdom. Satuk will lead you to cut off the carrion and build a new country. You can eat and wear warmth, defeat the brutal Persian army, and steal their women and wealth." Satuk jumped off the platform, took the scimitar handed over by his subordinates, and shouted: "Go!"

"Go! Enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

I don't know who was hissing and singing in the crowd, inciting emotions.

Someone stood there stupidly, but was pushed and moved forward by the crowd.

Some people are still hesitant. After all, the rule of noble people is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It takes great courage to break this. As a result, I don't know who handed over a weapon and pulled him forward.

Some people wanted to run away, but were stopped by the surging crowd. They were spitting and even beating, and then turned around with shame and stumbled among the crowd.

In the distance of the high platform, the Gulam army had already mobilized.

After the prayer of these elite infantry and cavalrymen, they put on armor on each other, then brought weapons, lined up in neat rows, and rushed towards the city with fierce faces.

Hundreds of fully armed cavalry had already rushed into the city gate, and the guards were directly dispersed before they could react.

They raised the banner of Satuk, proclaimed loudly all the way, constantly calling out some greedy and fierce conservative nobles, clamoring to divide their wealth and women, and promise to share them with the soldiers who joined them. As a result, the number of people continued to grow and the momentum gradually became amazing.

The identities of these soldiers who joined halfway through were very complicated.

Some people want to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the noble man’s mansion and take advantage of it.

Some people came for Satuk's name and served him unconditionally.

Some people have really accumulated grievances for a long time and took the opportunity to vent.

Of course, the most actionable ones are the believers called by the monks. They have a good organization and have brought weapons to serve as the leader.

Of course, believers are more than that.

The evil consequences of Augustīk's tolerance for years have already emerged.

In the town of Atush in the northeast of Shule, Sammani had already walked out of his exclusive temple, dressed neatly, and brought more than a thousand confidants, rode horses, carrying bows, arrows, and sabers to Shule City.

They were slogan "Adan's descendants are brothers and sisters", and wherever they passed, they kept gathering villagers and herdsmen, growing their momentum, and the number of people grew rapidly like snowballs.

An official came to rebuke him and was shot to death by an arrow. The army of the guards wanted to resist, but after seeing that they were surrounded, they heard Satuk's name and were immediately persuaded to turn against each other and head towards Shule.

On April 20, the 15th year of Jianji, Satuk, who seemed to be in a diminishing situation, brazenly raised his troops to rebel.

He took the Gulam Guard as his elite, and thousands of believers who developed secretly as the backbone, and swept into the city with a large number of people and soldiers.

The whole Kalasha was in chaos and it was hard to distinguish between us and us.
