Suleiman hid in the palace for his final persistence and resistance. As a king, no matter how scared he was, he could not let go of his last illusion of dynastic rule.
It's just that the five thousand gulams he sent out have been almost slaughtered. The remaining soldiers were either captured, surrendered, or fled. The current survival outcome is the result of the bloody battle of the gulams.
Unfortunately, Gulam's bloody battle still failed to stop the Hexi Army's advance. The price of their bloody battle was only a delay of a few hours.
When Gulam was defeated, the army outside the city immediately moved forward. The Askar standing army outside the city was unable to compete with the Hexi Chinese Army commanded by Ye An.
Di Qing's cavalry battalion used the "kite-flying" tactic to trick them into applause. If they attacked the Chinese army's main formation, they would be harassed. If they pursued the cavalry battalion, Ye An would use muskets to continue their long-range output.
Gulam, which should be used most to break the formation, is restricted within the city, so how can we fight?
As for the local armed Iqta cavalry, they did not dare to step forward. They were loyal to Suleiman, but they were also loyal to their own nobles. While watching, the nobles of Black Khan saw the entire city gate of Eight Thorns Gon disappear.
Afterwards, he no longer planned to provoke the fierce beast of the Hexi Army.
Even with the advantage of crushing, Ye An did not press in quickly for quick success. His goal was not Suleiman, but to stabilize the Eight Thorns Sagon. The first thing the Hexi Army did when entering the city was to climb onto the city wall to attack.
Clean up, clean up any remaining forces in the Eight Thorns Sandagon.
As for the ruffians and aristocratic bullies in the city, they were also included in the purge, but they did not commit any crimes against ordinary people from good families. As for the criminals in the prison, no matter what country they were from, they could not be released.
Tieniu led the front army to surround the palace. Ye An led the middle army to station in front of the palace of Basishagun. As for Di Qing, he surrounded and suppressed the remaining enemy cavalry. For a time, except for the huge gap in the wall of Basishagon, there was no other
The place was as peaceful as if there had been no war.
Of course, there are also mountains of corpses piled up on the street in the gap. There were too many casualties during the battle between the two armies. The five thousand gulams lost more than 3,000 people, and the 5,000 Hexi Army's front army lost nearly a thousand people.
.
But even so, the huge battle loss ratio made the Hexi Army extremely proud. Among the 1,000 battle casualties, there were still many soldiers with minor or serious injuries. They did not lose their lives in the war.
The wounded barracks were constantly treating wounded soldiers from the battlefield, and all disinfection methods were used. Even high-strength liquor was continuously sent in. At one time, many wounded soldiers were drunk.
For this reason, Ye An had to order the wounded barracks to reduce the amount of alcohol given to the injured soldiers, so as not to die from drinking instead of dying on the battlefield.
Raza sat across from Ye Andu, looked at the palace just a short distance away, and asked: "When do you plan to attack the Palace of Eight Thorns Gondu?"
Ye An smiled, geared up for a long time, pointed at the palace and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I have no plans to attack here at all. My soldiers in Hexi have suffered a lot, there is no need to waste money on this small palace."
Human life, I guess Suleiman still has some power in his hands, and even part of Ghulam is still in the palace. Since I don't plan to surrender, then I will besiege him. Don't worry, tunnels and the like are not a problem for the army.
We have already considered that eighteen large water urns are buried underground around the palace, and they can be detected as long as someone digs tunnels..."
After listening to Ye Andu's words, even Raza knew that Suleimandu's resistance was meaningless, so he could only pray with a face on his face: "My sister Raya is Suleimandu's queen, can you please spare her life?"
?”
Ye An turned his head and stared at Raza for a long time before saying: "Do you think I am the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately? Except for using whatever means necessary in war, have I ever massacred a single black-skinned civilian?
You are all descendants of the Turks. A large part of the Turks have been assimilated by our Han family, and some have become Uighurs, so I do not intend to kill anyone indiscriminately. Hexi will still rule here in the future, but now I just captured the Eight-thorn Shagun.
, rebuild Suiye City, and then we will use the army of Hengluosi to reassign the land of Black Khan to our Anxi land of the Han family."
"Now that I am of no use to you, why do you need to let me know about your great plan?" Raza smiled mockingly, and then looked at the ruins of the city gate, with bitterness on his lips.
Ye An shook his head again, put down the document in his hand and said, "No, I still need you. I plan to let you serve as the Protector of the Anxi Protectorate and at the same time be responsible to me, Hexi."
Raza looked at the confident Ye An across from him in surprise. He didn't understand why Ye An still gave him rights now.
"Why?!"
"Why? Well, that's a good question."
Ye An slowly stood up and looked at the palace of Basi Shagun and said: "Although this land belongs to my Han family, it has been away from our rule for too long. The people here are used to being ruled by foreigners, so I need a
Someone who can be recognized by Hei Khan and recognized by me can manage Anxi."
"Aren't you afraid that Anxi under my rule will turn into a black sweat again?"
Ye An laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke, and looked at Raza with amusement in his eyes: "After this battle, who else in the land of Black Khan dares to resist our rule?
?I in Hexi not only have strong military power, but also enough patience and kindness. What I want to adopt is a transitional policy. With you as the protector of Anxi, the people here will gradually give up the idea of being ruled. And you need to use
Political means have turned the system here into our Hexi system. From officials to official positions, from education to medical care, from religious beliefs to border defense, all of these must be gradually unified with our Hexi system. Only this kind of silent method of moisturizing things can
Let Black Khan become Anxi."
Raza on the opposite side was stunned for a long time, and finally said quietly: "In this way, Black Khan will completely disappear, and only the Anxi Protectorate will remain on this land, right?"
Ye An nodded and did not give Raza any illusions: "You are right, this process may be a bit long, and conflicts may break out. What you need to do is to let this transition continue until here.
The people have completely become my Hexi people, do you understand what I mean?"
"What if I fail?"
"You can't fail!"
Ye An said so categorically that even Lazar found it incredible, but he continued: "If you fail, then I will completely destroy this land, let it be divided again, and become a place where various ethnic groups fight within each other, and there will be chaos.
The land of Anxi is much better than a united Black Khan, isn't it?"
"You are indeed a devil!"
Raza's eyes were full of fear. He understood what Ye An meant. Once he failed, he would stir up civil strife in Black Khan and let the various tribes here fight and kill each other, and there would never be peace.
Only in this way can Hexi benefit from the chaos and become the final winner. This method of manipulating people's hearts is too terrifying!
"I am willing to become the protector of Anxi, but I only ask you in Hexi not to massacre my Black Khan people!"
Ye An smiled and patted his shoulders and said: "He is indeed a responsible person. Look, I didn't choose the wrong person! Tomorrow, the investiture ceremony will be held at the Bacishagun Palace, and I will officially appoint you as the
Protector of the Anxi Protectorate!"
Raza smiled bitterly and said: "You want me to stand completely opposite Suleiman and make my Kuha family completely the traitors of Hexi."
"No, he is not a traitor, he should be my collaborator in Hexi! Collaborator in creating the prosperity of Anxi!"
"But sooner or later this will become your land!"
"Anxi, you are originally from my Han family! You will become a minority in my Hexi and a part of my Hexi!"
After Ye An finished speaking, he breathed his last and went to bed, leaving Raza standing there blankly. Finally, he sighed: "We still have to return to the rule of the Han family. We have not escaped this fate for hundreds of years.
