Chapter 47 The Two Last Blind Khans
Things are much easier than Qitad imagined.
How the Truchens governed the country and how they treated foreign races, the Shiva people knew that if only the Turkmen defeated the Uzbeks, Dashaguz, New Yulong Jiechi, Shiva and Hazarasp at this time, the Naiman nobles would definitely resist stubbornly.
Because they knew that once the city was destroyed, what awaited them would be the city destroyed and people died, but Truchen would be different.
They are strong enough to even have enough confidence to absorb and digest them without taking cruel measures.
But if they really resist stubbornly, facing the amazing firearm they have never heard of, it is only a matter of time before the city falls.
So, just one month later, at the end of summer, all the remaining four big cities surrendered.
Shiva City, underground of Khan Palace.
When Kang Xiaozi brought Bayar into there, he could obviously smell a disgusting smell of shit and urine.
"Click"
Bayar lit a huge red Persian candle with a new match from the kingdom, and then asked someone to press ten candles on the lampstands around which were originally placed.
It has been dark for eighteen years (the last Shiva Khangayip has been imprisoned here since Nadirsha's death and Persian army withdrew from the Khanate of Shiva) The basement has ushered in the first light.
This scene reminded Bayar of the situation when he was locked in the Astrakhan basement with Qitad. There was also a light at that time, but until now he did not understand whether it was created by the Russians or the hallucination.
But since that light appeared, Salai has become Qitad!
At the end of the empty basement, a man with a torn clothes and skinny hair and age was curled up. His eyes were obviously blind, his hands and feet were locked by iron chains and connected to the solid stone wall.
The Islamic Church, the means used by the enemy, or potential enemies, is no worse than that of the Central Plains, blinds their eyes and then imprisons in the depths of the darkness.
Of course, Orthodox Church is not inferior to that point. I don’t know how many Roman emperors were blinded by the new emperor and locked up somewhere.
Kherson was the former Eastern Roman Empire exiled and imprisoned political enemies, especially those in the royal family. He was blinded before entering.
I don’t know who learned whom, but it’s the fine tradition of the Monodiac.
During the Persian rule, the descendant of the Sibani family who was pushed to power was only fifteen years old. Although he was just a puppet, he could move on the sunshine after all. However, when the Persians retreated and Altuk came to power, the last Shiva Khan immediately became like this.
Gayip obviously felt something strange, so he stood up and then made a sound of iron chain shaking.
“Abdullah and?”
This is the first sentence he said after standing up.
The Turkmenist slave who was sent by him to Kaplan for help from Qitad happened to be next to Bayar. After hearing this, he hurried to him, then fell to his knees, hugged his thin legs and cried loudly, "Sweat, you are saved!"
Gaip "look" at the bright basement with his black eyes, and then he realized that there was something strange in front of him.
He stroked Abdullah's head and said gently: "Very good, you're good, I didn't see anyone wrong after all"
With the support of Abdullah, Gaip groped to a stone wall, and after searching for a while, he suddenly took out a small brick covered with moss.
At this time, Bayar had already come to him. He did not care what Gaip was going to do, but looked at him carefully.
"He was black and dirty, like a dry bone, and his hair was almost falling to the ground. He used to be a great sweat in the country, but he lived in this dark underground for eighteen years."
"Eighteen years, what kind of perseverance has made him persevere?"
"If it were an ordinary person, I'd probably not be able to endure the cold, darkness and fear of suicide, but he still persisted. The only explanation is that he still has hope in his heart and hopes to restore his position one day"
Just as he was thinking, Jia Yipu already had an extra object in his hand.
Although there were many candles in the basement at this time, it was still a little too small compared to this empty place and was still dark. However, when Gaipu held the object in his hand, the small area suddenly became much brighter!
Bayar looked carefully and it turned out to be a ring.
A ring made of gold, with Turkic words engraved on it, and a ring with a gem inlaid in the middle!
It was obviously the gem that shone.
At this time, Jia Yipu seemed to be excited and still reluctant to let it go. He held the ring tightly and exposed the gem.
After Abdullah and said softly in his ear, he reluctantly handed the ring to Bayar.
"Slow!"
Bayar spoke to stop him, but he squatted down and then carefully observed the gem.
"It is shaped like a very small peach. It has white and pink on the outside, but there are still fire patterns on the inside. This is obviously a mixture of peach blossom stones and night pearls that are abundant in Central Asia, which is extremely rare"
"The other end of the gem is inlaid with a small seal. The seal is obviously made of Hetian jade and the bottom is covered with black sludge. According to His Majesty, this object should be presented to Genghis Khan by nobles from Central Asian countries, so the engraved one should be his name"
He stood up and said to the two of them: "Go up"
At this time, Abdullah and the one who had already obtained the key from the guardian Gaip and untied the chains on him.
Gaip also felt a little strange about the person in front of him that he did not ask for a ring. In his opinion, there was never a person who gave favors without asking for anything indecisively, but he still walked up with the help of Abdullah.
Below is the dark, cold and wet underground palace, but above it is a large garden. I don’t know who designed it. The so-called separation between heaven and hell is probably just like this.
When Gaip walked up, he clearly felt the long-lost sunshine, the smell of flowers and the intoxicating air. He breathed greedily and felt it, and he didn't stop until Abdullah and reminded him that there was still someone above him.
"Come?"
This person was Qitad. He was shocked when he saw Gaip. He imagined Altuk's way of dealing with the last Khan, but he did not expect that it would be such a cruel scene.
Gaip kneeled down in the direction of his speech, holding the ring with his hands high.
Qitad didn't even look at it, but said, "I don't need it. You should take it to Kazakhstan. I have already greeted Kazakhstan Abulbate. My people will send you directly to Turkestan by boat."
Previously, when Abrembante heard that Gaip wanted to join him, not only did he refuse, but he was very happy and agreed without hesitation. He also prepared to send someone to Shiva to greet him.
When Qitad learned about it, he refused.
He is now an extremely mature politician, and he obviously understands one thing.
"This object is useless to me, but it still has a strong attraction to the people at this time, especially the Khans of the Golden Family."
"If Abrbante killed Gaipu halfway and took the ring away after receiving it, wouldn't it be a bad thing for me? No, I can't give him any chance"
Not only did he not plan to give Abulbate this opportunity on land, he would use a ship to send Gaip directly to Turkestan through the Amu River-Aaral Sea-Sir River, so that Abulbate had no chance on water.
He said slowly: "You must keep this thing yourself, because it is your only hope for survival. I also hope you can live well. If there is a next life, I hope you can be born in the homes of ordinary people."
"Remember, be sure to keep this item well until Turkestan. If you lose it halfway or throw it into the water on your own initiative, your future outcome will not be better than it is now"
"After arriving in Turkestan, you can offer this item to Abrembante or block the attack and stay, both of which are made"
After saying this, Qitade left.
Ten days later, news came from Mare.
As expected, after learning that Shuja was defeated and the Truchens entered Mare with the Turkmen, Durani, who was in Mashhad, immediately set off a large army north.
Near Mare, Shelen fought with Durani, without any surprises. After strengthening the Shah tribe in Ashgabat, the number of people on both sides was similar, but the three regular brigades under Shelen were not something Afghans could resist.
Durani was defeated and finally fled back with only a few cavalrymen.
At this time, Aga appeared and showed up with Persian troops. He was obviously waiting aside for a long time.
Finally, the two parties reached a secret agreement:
The last Khan Shah Rukh of the Afshar Dynasty and his family were sent to Shiraz to live, Truchen took away the throne of Peacock, and the remaining wealth was obtained by Aga.
At this point, Karim Khan finally truly unified the entire Persia.
Unlike Gayip, although Shuja and Shah also blinded Shah Rukh's eyes, he still kept his family and a small number of guards and lived in a comfortable city.
Of course, according to Qitad's estimate, although Karim has always stated that he will not hurt Sharuk throughout his life, once Sharuk arrives at Shiraz, his fate will be unstoppable. At this time, Karim Khan is already old and immersed in the pile of women in the harem.
The national affairs are entirely in the hands of the eunuchs and Vizier, the representatives of the Kurds. Only God knows what they will do.
Compared with the thin and thin Gaip, Sharuk is a big fat man with blind eyes. He also has dozens of wives and concubines and a large group of children. Although he is also a puppet, his situation is much stronger.
But so what, he still has no choice but to lose everything at any time and be killed.
As for the fact that Sheling was carefully transported back to the Peacock Throne, Qitad just took a look and sent someone back to Elista.
