Five hundred and eighty-one chapters abolish slavery
The gate of Kashgar City was wide open, and the Kashgar guards tied their hands and walked out of Kashgar City with heavy steps accompanied by their own personal soldiers. Behind the Kashgar guards, and several of his subordinates also followed dejectedly. They didn't know what the Jiuzhou Army would deal with them.
Dozens of people were waiting for the arrival of the Jiuzhou Army three miles away from Kashgar City.
"General, do you think the Jiuzhou Army will kill us? I heard that the adults in Aksu and Wushi cities were slaughtered after the city was broken, and their heads were hung at the city gate." A small leader from Kashgar could not help but get goosebumps when he heard about the refugees who fled to Kashgar City.
"It shouldn't be... The defenders in Aksu and Wushi were stubborn, causing great casualties to the Central Plains army, which aroused their anger. And we have surrendered unconditionally. If the Central Plains army is not willing to let us go, what else do they want?" Another Kashgar leader retorted.
"Unconditional surrender means there is no condition for resistance. We are like fish on the chopping board. We can deal with it at will, and they will kill us all. Who will reason for us?"
"Shut up and wait quietly!" The Kashgar general was depressed and stopped his subordinates from chattering. In order to save his life, he chose to lead the entire Kashgar city to surrender unconditionally to the Jiuzhou Army. If his old colleagues met him again, this old face would be really unwilling to lose his face.
About half an hour later, the mighty main force of the Jiuzhou Army's southern expedition arrived and surrounded dozens of Kashgar officials and generals who had left the city.
The Yellow Dragon Banner and the Green Dragon Banner were roaring, and the shiny muskets were shining. The tall horses from abundant water and grass carried energetic soldiers, which made dozens of Kashgar officials and generals look around in horror. Before they had fought with the Jiuzhou Army, they knew why the Yarkand Khanate had lost half of their territory at once.
In the entire Western Regions, the Yarkand Khanate, the Desert and the Mongols, and the Kazakh Khanate are all great powers that are comparable. When they fought with the Junggar tribe, they thought that the Junggar cavalry was one of the most powerful troops in the world. However, this sudden attack by the Jiuzhou Army made them know that there were people outside of people and heaven outside of heaven, and the Jiuzhou Army and the Western Regions were not on the same level at all.
"The great Central Plains army came to attack our small country that was more content with the Western Regions. It must be our small country that offended the Celestial Kingdom, resulting in the arrival of the heavenly power and being crushed to pieces. We are ministers of the Yarkand Khanate and are willing to bear all punishments, only hoping that the Central Plains Celestial Kingdom can let go of our residents of Kashgar City and safeguard the people." The Kashgar guards knelt on the ground and said heavy to the senior generals of the Jiuzhou Army such as Xu Shi, Wu Keshan, and Sun Chuanting.
"Haha, I'm really hypocritical. I don't know if I really think so." Wu Keshan didn't easily say anything to the Kashgar general, but mocked him first.
The Kashgar general blushed and white when Wu Keshan said, and still said with a tough bullet: "Whether it is true or fake, now the lives of the soldiers and residents are in the hands of all the generals of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom."
"This is true, don't scare them." Xu Shize played the role of blushing and said to Kashgar guards and others, "You all have to get up, don't have to tie your hands and feet. Follow us into the city. I here promise that no one who surrenders to us will harm your lives."
When the Kashgar nobles heard the general who looked like the highest commander of the Central Plains army promised to guarantee their lives, they couldn't help but be happy. Since the other party was so high and made a promise in front of so many people, they would never break their promises.
"We and others are willing to lead the way for the Central Plains army." Many Kashgar nobles expressed their loyalty.
Sun Chuanting watched coldly, thinking in his heart that these Kashgar nobles were too happy too early. Although the Jiuzhou Army said to ensure their lives, they did not say that they would protect their property and status. When the Yarkand Khanate was completely conquered, these people would definitely be liquidated. Of course, this would have been much better if they were executed.
The Jiuzhou Army's army was divided into two, part of them entered Kashgar City, and some remained outside the city to prevent turmoil in the city. The residents of Kashgar City were nervously watching the Central Plains soldiers entering the city on both sides of the street. It seemed that the Central Plains army had not entered this area for hundreds of years. In addition to the normal residents, some ragged slaves were watching this rare scene through wooden boards. They didn't even know what happened, nor did they know how earth-shaking changes the arrival of this powerful army would bring to their status.
"How many families are there in Kashgar City?" Xu Shi followed the guard into Kashgar City and looked at the surrounding scenery with his eyes.
Compared with Jiangnan, Kashgar City is naturally difficult to compare with in Guanzhong. After all, the environment here limits the development of Kashgar City. However, Kashgar City is already a big city in Yerkand.
"There are about a few thousand families in the city, and there are many villages nearby, which are also managed by Kashgar City. The population outside the city is more than in the city." said the guard.
"The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and many families are distributed in rare oasis, which is understandable." Xu Shi walked in the low earthen houses and wooden rooms. When the residents saw this, he was filled with fear of him. He knew in his heart that the Jiuzhou Army he led had been demonized by the Yarkand Khanate. It would probably take a long-term operation to gain the understanding of the people here.
"I don't know what the Celestial Empire is trying to attack us small cities? The Central Plains region is vast and rich in resources and fertile soil, which is much better than our desolate Gobi." The Kashgar general was frowning. No wonder he had this idea. For thousands of years, the Central Plains regime had many opportunities to control the Western Regions, but he rarely devoted his energy to managing the Western Regions, and he disliked the harsh climate and terrain here.
"Because this place has been the influence of Chinese civilization since ancient times, it is naturally a family. This time we will establish the Western Regions Administration and include Turpan, Junggar, and Yarkand all under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Administration. From then on, the education here will be widely spread and will no longer be wild. I hereby announce that from now on, all slaves in Kashgar City will be abolished and all laborers will be recruited for our army. By the time the Yerkang Khanate is conquered, all slaves will be restored to free people." Xu Shi said that it was a bolt from the blue for the Kashgar generals.
