At dawn, the fighting in Asuk City stopped, and the city finally fell silent.At this time, Sun Kewang led the rear army to arrive at the city gate, only to see the banners of the Yarkand people scattered on the ground, and a Zhou flag had been planted at the head of the city.Sun Kewang led his army into the city, the doors of every house in the city were closed, and the streets were full of corpses that had not yet had time to be cleaned up, scattered weapons, and blood bubbled, gathering together to form a shocking pool of blood.At this time, Sun Kewang rode a war horse, all the way to the gate of the city lord's mansion, and immediately an officer stepped forward and held the reins of the horse for him, "The left and right have been waiting for a long time." ”Sun Kewang turned over and dismounted, led a group of generals and officials of the Zhou army, and entered the front yard covered with blood, and saw the soldiers of the Zhou army, excitedly moving out boxes of treasures and piling them up into a hill in the courtyard.This made Sun Kewang quite satisfied, Yarkand was built by the descendants of the Chahatai Khanate, the Mongols had been entrenched here for hundreds of years, and the herdsmen lived like slaves and livestock, but the upper nobles, as well as the religious leaders, were extremely wealthy, all wearing gold and silver, and carrying a few large gemstone rings on their hands, and the family did not know how much money they had saved.Sun Kewang hated this kind of rich man from the bottom of his heart, and looking at so many treasures, he became more and more determined to formulate his own strategy.At this time, Sun Kewang walked all the way up to the main hall, and saw that there were several headless corpses planted in the hall, the heads rolled to the side, and the neck section was still flowing with blood and blood foam, making people unable to get down.Sun Kewang frowned slightly, and looked up at the hall, Baishan sent Apak and Zhuo, who were pressed to kneel on the ground by the soldiers, and Hong Chengchou sat in front of him very casually."
The left phase has arrived."
Hong Chengchou smiled.Apak and Zhuo Wensheng suddenly struggled to turn their heads, and looked at Sun Kewang resentfully, "Sun Kewang, you deceived me. ”Sun Kewang grimaced, but instead scolded: "It's nonsense, the prime minister just let Abdullaha abdicate, but you brutally killed him, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." ”Apak's muscles burst out, "You dare to yin me!"
”Sun Kewang remained silent: "And the table, we Han people have a saying, those who know the times are handsome."
Abdul Raha is the canonized vassal king of the Great Zhou, you launched a rebellion and killed him without authorization, and I want to raise an army to ask for guilt, help Yarkand put down the rebellion, and also ask for an explanation for Abdul Raha.The Prime Minister advises you to honestly explain the facts of the rebellion between the Baishan faction and Bars, and strive for leniency from the Prime Minister. ”Apak's eyes were blood-red, "The Heavenly Empire calls on the Quartet with faith, and the Zhou Kingdom will inevitably suffer from the judgment of the true God if it acts like this." ”Ah Weike struggled desperately, but was held down by the guards, and could only keep scolding.Sun Kewang didn't care about this, and the strategy he wanted to implement was different from that of previous Central Plains dynasties.In the past, the Central Plains Dynasty was unwilling to spend a lot of effort in the Western Regions, and relied on the small countries and nobles in the Western Regions to help maintain the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Western Regions.This time, Sun Kewang is very clear about his positioning, he is here to eat big households.The purpose of the Zhou army was to plunder and plunder the wealth of the nobles of the Western Regions to enrich the treasury.In this way, it is useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness, not only will you not make money, but you may also have to pay money from outside.The Zhou army originally came to eradicate these blood-sucking nobles of the Western Regions, and Sun Kewang was naturally not afraid of offending them.This time, they were not among the Zhou state's struggles, and Sun Kewang was fighting for the poor herdsmen and slaves in the Western Regions.Sun Kewang listened to Apak's abuse, frowned, looked at Hong Chengchou and said in a deep voice: "The right minister hasn't dealt with it yet, what are you waiting for?"
”Hong Chengchou immediately waved his hand, and the armor soldier suddenly raised his knife and cut off Apak's head with a single sword.Hong Chengchou said: "The prime minister will leave for Shache, and this will be handed over to the left minister." ”Sun Kewang bowed his head slightly, and reminded: "The right minister must state that Bars colluded with the Baishan faction to kill Yarkand Khan, and my Great Zhou is here to assist Yarkand in quelling the rebellion and avenge Yarkand Khan." ”Hong Chengchou said: "How many people believe this?
”Sun Kewang sneered, "After capturing Shache, put Bars and the others to death, and then post a post in the city, and distribute the land and pastures of the Baishan faction, Montenegrin faction, and Yarkand nobles who died in the civil strife to the Yarkand civilians, they will believe it!"
”Hong Chengchou nodded, then led his subordinates out of the main hall and ordered troops to go to Shache.Sun Kewang immediately ordered Zhang Bang to settle the people, promising to distribute the fields and pastures near Asuke City to the civilians, and immediately arrange for people to carry it out.The Yarkand people, who were still resistant to the Zhou army, immediately changed their attitude when they saw that the Zhou army really gave them land and pastures, and welcomed the Zhou army with songs and dances.Divide the things of the rich man's house, and the people will naturally be happy.Now the center of gravity of the Zhou State is in Guanzhong, there are not many Han people in the Western Regions, and Sun Kewang wants land and pastures are useless, so he only copied the gold and silver treasures of the nobles in the Western Regions, and distributed the land and pastures to the poor.In this way, the Zhou army was supported by the poor and herdsmen at the bottom of Yarkand, who accounted for the vast majority of the population, and after these people got the land and pastures, they actively engaged in production, growing fruits, grain, and raising cattle, sheep and horses, and the Zhou army was able to use the seized silver to buy and enrich the military capital.When Hong Chengchou sent troops to Shache, Sun Kewang made a series of moves in the rear, and soon settled the eastern part of Yarkand.At this time, Prince Bars, who entered the city of Yarkand, in order to prevent his brother from posing a threat to his throne, killed six of his brothers in the palace that night, and carried out a bloody purge of the Black Mountain faction in the city, killing more than 3,000 people.After dealing with his brother and the nobles of the Montenegrin faction, Bars was relieved, and just when he was full of ambition, Hong Chengchou led his troops to kill under the city of Shache.The Zhou army claimed that Bars had rebelled and colluded with the Baishan faction to kill Abdul Raha Khan, and that the Zhou army came to quell the rebellion, which immediately caused chaos among the defenders of the city.They followed Bars because Bars claimed that his actions were supported by the Zhou army, but now the Zhou army was directly killed under the city, and the army mutinied in an instant.The remnants of the Montenegrin faction in the city took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, opened the city gate, and the Zhou army rushed in.Seeing that the general situation had turned, Bars broke through with only a few dozen horsemen, went to Jungar, and then to Tsarist Russia.The Zhou army entered Shache, Hong Chengchou purged the Baishan faction in the city in the name of the Baishan faction's rebellion, and these Baishan factions who had just slaughtered the Black Mountain faction and the Yarkand nobles in power were executed by the Zhou army, not only did not arouse the sympathy of the Yarkand people, but the people in the city applauded.()
