There were shouts of killing everywhere in the city, and it was not clear whether they were killing rebels or Khan troops.
The residents were at a loss what to do and panicked.
When the rebels came, they were regarded as supporters of the Khan and were met with a barrage of arrows.
When the Khan's troops arrived, they thought they were rebels and massacred them.
Both sides wore almost the same clothes, spoke the same language, and held the same weapons. They were confused and confused.
After all, Saturk was well-thought-out and well-prepared. The monks were also more organized and familiar with their subordinates. He quickly gathered the good people and gathered hundreds of Ogulchak's cronies and silently hurriedly gathered them.
He was beaten to a pulp and fled.
Sartuk held a powerful walking bow and fired continuously, hitting the mark every time and killing many key members of the Khan army.
He could already vaguely see the hope of victory, and his face, which had been tense all the time, took on a gentle tone.
The most important thing in a military coup is to be quick. One hit is sure to hit, and the overall situation can be settled by killing or controlling key figures. Most people actually don't have a strong inclination. As long as you don't give them a chance to obey orders, let them
Without the object of allegiance, the mess will not be difficult to deal with.
I heard that when the commander-in-chief was changed in the Central Plains vassal town, hundreds or even hundreds of sergeants made noises, and tens of thousands of people stood by and watched. The mutiny was easily successful. The most recent example is Yangzhou a few years ago, when Xu Wen captured the city with ten soldiers with only two hundred men.
Huainan Town of Wan Dajun.
Grassland regimes are often ruled by strongmen. Once the strongman dies, that's it. Of course, this is what Saturk wants to change. He cannot accept this loose system. The control of the Khan Court must be strengthened, but that is
That's a matter for the future.
"Whoever kills Ogurchak will be rewarded with 10,000 cattle and sheep."
"Whoever kills Dunyu will be rewarded five thousand."
Sartuk issued the reward, and everyone rushed towards the palace with great momentum, seemingly unstoppable.
In the palace, Ogurchak forced himself to remain calm. After listening to reports from all parties, his face gradually became extremely pale.
Li Shouxin also looked very unhappy. He pulled Altai over and asked, "Where are the Great Khan's troops?"
"It was difficult to gather in a hurry. Some people defected and slaughtered their own people." Altai, who had just escaped from the outside in embarrassment, said with a gloomy look on his face: "Satuk must have been planning for a long time, otherwise he would not be able to pull off such a big team.
Formation."
I have told you so many times, but you just hesitate and miss the opportunity.
Li Shouxin sighed secretly and asked, "Can the city be defended?"
"We definitely can't hold it anymore." Altai said: "Satuk has summoned a lot of people, and it will be difficult for just two thousand Gulam troops to deal with it. He has also coerced a lot of people, and it will be difficult to make a comeback."
"Then let's go, don't delay." Li Shouxin made a decision immediately.
After saying that, he walked to Ogurchak, who was still sending people to contact his old troops, and said: "Khan, the matter has come to an end. Please leave the city quickly and summon the old troops."
Ogurchak hesitated.
By leaving like this, the capital city would be given to Sartuk, which would be very unfavorable for the subsequent battle. But the situation was indeed critical, and staying in the city would probably mean death.
"Great Khan, let's go. After leaving the city, let's go west and north, summon the leaders of various ministries to gather troops, and then take back Karasha." After such a short while, Altai also figured it out and stepped forward to advise.
road.
Ogurchak looked at his eldest son Dunyu again.
Dunyu's eyes were red, and he wished he could die together with Saturk, but after seeing his father's questioning eyes, he still nodded with difficulty.
"Let's go!" Ogulchak didn't waste any time. He gave the order first, asking his cronies to take people out of the palace to counterattack. He took his eldest son and a few cronies and went straight to the back garden. As for other people, he didn't care about them.
.
Li Shouxin, Altai and others hurriedly followed.
Along the way, there were panicked servants everywhere.
Some people were running around and screaming, not knowing where they were going.
Someone actually packed up big and small bags and headed towards the palace gate.
This is really costing money and life, and they actually took advantage of the chaos to rob them at this time. But it's not a bad thing. They can at least hinder the pursuit of the pursuers and buy time for those who are escaping.
The group of people soon reached the back garden, and several guards caught up with them, looking panicked.
Ogurchak didn't talk nonsense to them, jumped directly, climbed up the wall, and disappeared behind the wall.
Fuck! Li Shouxin cursed secretly, how could you climb over such a high wall?
He tried twice but failed. While he was anxious, he saw Dun Yu calling him from the wall and extending his hand.
Li Shouxin was almost in tears. With Dunyu's help, he climbed up with all his strength.
"The little prince's kindness will definitely be repaid in the future." After getting off the courtyard wall, Li Shouxin said repeatedly.
Dun Yu nodded, pulling him along and running towards the city gate.
At this time, the city was in chaos, and order was completely lost. The guards at the city gate had dispersed in a hurry, and no one was paying attention. A group of seven or eight people rushed to the west gate and followed the surging crowd to the outside of the city.
When the dazzling sunlight shone on his face, Li Shouxin felt a feeling of surviving a disaster. It was not easy!
"Go west and borrow a horse." Ogulchak became more and more calm, turned around and gave instructions, and walked away first.
Altai glanced at Li Shouxin and said: "Don't worry, envoy. The nobles over at Balashagon hate the monks from the west very much. They support the Great Khan."
Li Shouxin nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, those people had a lot of hatred towards Persia, and most of them believed in Buddha, Mani and even Nestorianism.
Why did Ogulchak repeatedly test his nephew? Because his wife and children were robbed by the Persians.
After the fall of Talas, his former capital, 15,000 people were plundered by Persia, and 10,000 of them were killed by the Persians. Everyone has a blood feud with Persia, so it is normal to hate everything about Persia.
"The messenger hasn't left yet?" Dunyu asked, passing a water bag to Li Shouxin.
Li Shouxin sighed, no one came out yet.
At this moment, several people rushed out of the west gate, almost all of them injured.
"General Wang, Bachelor Yang!" Li Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief, and it was Wang Chongwen and Yang Ningshi who came out.
"It's Li Sicheng." Wang Chongwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I went to the palace to look for him, but they all said that you had gone with the Khan."
Li Shouxin's face was a little red. At the critical moment, he only focused on escaping for his own life and did not have time to notify other people staying in the hotel.
But this is not the time to be entangled, just listen to him say: "The situation is critical and leave quickly."
"Okay." Wang Chongwen didn't talk nonsense. He took the few remaining guards and supported Li Shouxin. Yang Ningshi and the two fled westward and soon disappeared into the yellow sand - they also didn't forget to send
People walked in the direction of Qiuca and reported the changes in the place to the saint.
****
The Gulam Guards rushed into the palace, followed closely by the people who were being held hostage.
Gulam is not bad, after all, it is an army of economics, and it is relatively orderly. They first control each palace, seal the treasury, and arrest people - it is said to be a palace, but in fact the place is very small, equivalent to the compound of a wealthy man in the Central Plains
That’s all.
The rebels were much more "unrestrained", and they began to rob everywhere. When they saw something of value, they took it with them. Some even didn't even let go of the toilet, and carried it home directly.
What's even more outrageous is that there are still people fighting for the girl. You hold one hand, and I hold the other hand, and it's a big deal.
Saturk's face looked a little ugly.
Although he was small and broad, he was still able to escape after all. Although people were sent to pursue him, whether he could be caught or not was still a question.
He was thinking just now, if the envoy from Xia Kingdom had not come to Karasha, would it have been easier for him to suddenly attack? Would it have been more certain? The ending would have been more perfect?
But there is no what if. The facts are here, and he has nothing to say.
"Maintain order." After kicking over a rioter who bumped into him, Satuk gave the order——
"Philosophers teach us to earn our own living." He said: "Wealth gained through hard work is far more generous than robbery. Anyone who robs people or kills without permission will be suppressed immediately."
"The corrupt rule of Ogurchak has been overthrown, and now everyone is our brother and sister. Even those guilty people who are cruel and corrupt must go through my trial, and the punishment cannot be increased at will."
"The enemies have not all been wiped out. The rebel fighters need to be organized, restrained, and subject to good training and strict military orders. Only then can we defeat those enemies who are destined to be wiped out."
There was nothing wrong with the Gulam Guards, but the rebels were a little confused after hearing this: This seems to be different from what was said at the beginning?
Satuk was too lazy to care about them, waved his hand and said: "Execute the order."
The Ghulam Guards immediately took action and were still looting property everywhere. The soldiers who raped women were punched and kicked. If they didn't listen, they were killed with a knife.
The monks, along with their believers and newly recruited sergeants, began to maintain order on the streets and prevent chaos from spreading.
Saatuk directly called several members of the royal family and tribal leaders who supported him to discuss the next countermeasures.
Obviously, letting Ogulchak go was a very bad thing.
In the Balasagon area, there are still a large number of conservative nobles. They may usually despise the authority of Karasha, but that is just because they look down upon Ogurchak, and they dislike Satuk even more.
.
The reason is also very simple. The war twenty years ago severely damaged these people, making these Uighurs, Turks, and Qarlu people fear and hate Persia, and they also denied everything about Persia.
Simply stupid!
Sartuk insisted that the good things about Persia need to be learned, such as the spiritual comfort that Samani brought to him. This power is so powerful that it can break the barriers between tribes and groups, and unite the loose Great Uighur Kingdom.
Kneaded into a whole, the organization level is greatly improved. After all, the descendants of Adam are all brothers.
For these people, Sartuk felt that he could win over them, but they first needed to change their attitudes, which was their inexplicable hatred of the Creator.
Of course, Saturk also knows that words alone cannot make them change. Only when the outcome is decided on the battlefield, these people will reluctantly surrender, and there is no other way.
But this is all a matter for the future. He needs to control the capital now, and then use his prestige to gain the support of as many people as possible.
My father's old department has the most solid foundation and can absolutely be trusted.
The young members of the royal family who believe in the Creator and the children of the powerful tribes can also be trusted, even more reliable than their father's old tribe.
Neutral tribal leaders should not be ignored. They must take advantage of the favorable opportunity when Ogulchak fled in a hurry and his whereabouts are unknown to immediately win over him and create a fait accompli.
As for the rest, we need to wait for Samani to come and then discuss it.
The guide has great supernatural powers. He even vaguely mentioned before that Bakhana (Fergana) could think of a way. If he was inspired in the name of the Creator, he could win many people over.
He even made it clear that although he did not like those people in Bukhara, he was pious to the Creator. The rulers of Bukhara were also pious to the Creator, and could even be said to be fanatical. If the mutiny failed, they could escape
Go to Bukhara, there will be soldiers of the Creator seeking justice for him.
Now that the mutiny was obviously successful, he did not need the jihadists to avenge him, but considering other circumstances, necessary external assistance was not impossible to consider.
This does not mean that he surrendered to Persia. In fact, it was just a temporary measure.
Shao Shude, the emperor of Xia Kingdom, was in Gaochang, watching with eager eyes. And his power in sweeping the Gaochang Uighurs in a few months was amazing. Satu Ke was not an arrogant man, and sometimes it was okay to be flexible.
On April 21, Samani led people to Karasha, where order had been roughly controlled.
After entering the city, he was immediately invited into the palace to discuss secretly with Saatuk.
