Three Kingdoms

It is not that there are no **** people in Shanshan. After all, to be able to establish a country in the Western Regions, there must be some people who have to pay the price of blood and have the courage to fight. However, most Western Region countries cannot escape a cruel fact , when the blood brave gave his life, the cunning in the rear stole the fruit.

   Generations of **** warriors die, but treacherous ones remain.

  Blood warriors can only get verbal praise, but not practical care in life. So in Shanshan, there are naturally fewer and fewer blood warriors left.

   The mud city is broken.

  The spirit of Shanshan, like this city, has been stabbed with holes everywhere.

  Almost all the cunning Shanshan people realized a fact almost at the same time...

  Shan Shan is dead!

   Irreversible!

  When the mud in the Shanshan King City fell, the people in the King City separated into various forms.

  At first it looked like a Shanshan person, and he also called himself a Shanshan person, but when the crisis really came, who would really remember that he was a Shanshan person?

   Escaping and hiding are the choices of most Shanshan people.

In the chaos, this part of the Shanshan people had already collapsed mentally, and many people subconsciously chose to avoid and run away, although they didn't know where they were going to go, and they didn't know what would happen when they lived in exile in the Western Regions. But now these fleeing Shanshan people don't care about it anymore, they just want to escape from this battlefield and escape from the disaster of blood and fire.

  The only way to escape is to quickly close the door, hold something behind the door, and then the whole family hugs each other and trembles. And in their chaotic thinking, they didn't even realize that even the city gates and walls couldn't resist the soldiers of the hussars, but only their own thin wooden doors could really give them safe shelter?

  For these Shanshan people who fled and hid, the Shanshan Kingdom and their future...

  They know it's gone, but they don't know what to do, or what to do.

  So they subconsciously retract their heads, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. The real world is too scary, run away if you can, hide if you can, close your eyes and wait for death if you can't...

  Of course, some Shanshan people rose up to fight and even committed suicide.

But what is very interesting is that among the Shanshan people who committed suicide and died for their country, some of them hacked and killed some of their own people first, and attacked the fleeing Shanshan people, cursing while hacking, and finally collapsed, or Is self-immolation, or suicide.

   It's like if you don't kill some people to pay your back, you won't die safely.

And those who were unwilling to commit suicide and attacked the hussars basically failed to cause much damage to the hussars. Many Shanshan people shouted something from a distance, and then rushed up with their knives and guns. Then they were shot and killed before running halfway. Even if they occasionally reached the front of the hussars, because there were no organizers, most of them fought alone and were quickly hacked to death.

   That's right.

  After the Shanshan King City was breached, there were no organizers. Most of the officials who were responsible for maintaining order and representing the Shanshan people chose to surrender...

The officials who surrendered almost pulled out the last spark of the Shanshan Kingdom, broke the last supporting bone, and then the spirit of the entire Shanshan King City was in the midst of the rising chrysanthemums of these officials. With a puff, it disappeared without a trace.

  So when they came to the back, even those Shanshan people who fought up and fought lost their fighting spirit. Even their officials are like this, what is the value of this country's efforts?

   Not all Shanshan officials are willing to surrender, but they cannot restore Tianqing, let alone bring back the changed hearts of those who surrendered. At the beginning, these people shouted to fight, to fight, but soon they were surrounded by the officials around them and beat them up, and they were even stabbed in the back.

  The good situation of unity and integration cannot be destroyed by these "black sheep", right?

With the opening of the city gate, under the leadership of Tai Shici, the cavalry rushed into the city. If you saw some Shanshan people fleeing in a panic on the street, or walking around in a daze, as long as they didn't hinder the march, these hussars would The pawns didn't even bother to chase them down. He just whizzed past these Shanshan people, not even bothering to shout for them to surrender.

Because almost everyone knows that under such a situation, these people in Shanshan can no longer be called an effective organization, just like a thousand sheep, even if the number of sheep is crushed dozens of times Dogs, but as long as the shepherd dog barks, the sheep will be obedient...

  In the Shanshan King City, nonsense with various accents were crying and crying in disorder.

  Exquisite embroidery and inlay technology, representing the king's banner is now trampled underfoot, fragmented.

  The statue of gods and Buddhas that originally stood on the corner of the street fell to the ground at some point and shattered into dozens of pieces, stained with blood, but the head of the Buddha was still smiling, as if he was still very happy.

  The hussar pawns have started to rotate sequentially, and the hussar pawns who had charged before are now withdrawn to the second line for repairs. These hussar soldiers whose armor was stained with blood, either lifted their visors, or wore their pockets, or sat or stood. Some people laughed and talked loudly, and didn't care if others were listening, some people turned their blood-stained palms over and over, and some people groaned under the doctor's treatment...

  But no matter who it is, they don’t even bother to take a second look at those Shanshan people who have lost their souls. Even if he cast his gaze over occasionally, it would naturally bring out some contemptuous expressions.

  This is the look of the winner looking at the loser, or the king seeing bronze.

  You weaklings...

   Regarding the various attitudes of the people in the Shanshan King City, the Shanshan officials of the capitulation faction said that they could not see them at all, and they had no time to see them. For them now, the key is to look more at the faces of Fei Qian, Tai Shici, and the officials on the Hussar side.

  When Tai Shici entered the city, these Shanshan officials, under the surveillance of the hussars, knelt respectfully on both sides of the street with their buttocks pouted, in order to express their submission to the hussars and Tai Shici.

  These "parent officials" who used to be the people of the Shanshan Kingdom are all thinking of ways to please the new ruler who has come to the Shanshan Kingdom. Who has the time to care whether the people of the Shanshan Kingdom are laughing or crying?

In order to show his determination to sever all ties with Shanshan, he even deliberately abandoned the original traditional leather robes of Shanshan and wore Han clothes instead. It's not a temporary thing to do...

  Tai Shici clicked his tongue, noncommittal.

  For a Shanshan person, wearing Han family robes is nothing more than nothing.

  Extraordinary clothes? Sometimes when Tai Shici is free, he will wear a leather robe to keep out the cold in winter. This is nothing, but if it is a formal occasion, Tai Shici will definitely wear Hanfu.

Now, these "parent officials" who are enshrined by the people of Shanshan on weekdays and live by sucking the blood of the people of Shanshan, not only did not resist or mourn because the Shanshan King City was captured, but happily put on Han robes , cited as fashion...

   This made Tai Shici feel a little disgusted.

  So Tai Shici was too lazy to say anything to these people. After glancing at them with a little disgust, he ordered in a deep voice, let these guys go to the side and wait, don't get in the way.

   Compared with meeting these guys, Tai Shici paid more attention to the situation of the warehouses in the city. When he rushed to the warehouse area with his soldiers, he found that there was no one guarding it, and the door was open. There are some scattered items and utensils scattered on the ground. Moreover, he also blocked a few thieves who were stealing in the warehouse. When they saw the hussar soldiers coming, they ran in a hurry, trying to escape over the wall, but they were shot down one by one by arrows.

  Tai Shici made a round of inspection, frowning.

  The warehouses in a royal city are mostly empty...

  Of course, not all of them are completely empty, there are still some items of low value piled up in the warehouse.

  『Come on! ”Tai Shici ordered, “Immediately count the items in the warehouse and register them in the book!” 』

  …(`dish)…

   Feiqian calmly looked at the smoky Mud City in the distance.

   It is not too surprising that Mud City was captured.

   The accuracy of the artillery is still a big problem, but perhaps in the entire development process of the smoothbore gun, there is no way to completely improve it. And trying to climb the branches of the rifled tech tree has a lot of hurdles to wade through.

  Even so, the suppression effect of the artillery on the city wall is sufficient.    In the past, it cost human lives to attack this kind of city.

   Now that you have artillery, all you spend is money.

   This is almost an earth-shaking change, from accumulating people to accumulating money, perhaps Huaxia will move towards greed and corruption faster, but it may be better to ignore human life than to ignore the bottom?

   Corruption, corruption, decay.

  Perhaps changing the dynasty also cannot avoid such a path.

  Fei Qian didn’t know if he opened a magic box by doing this, but for Huaxia, if he wanted to break through the blockade of the small peasant economy and move towards outward expansion, he must have a strong and powerful stimulus...

  The artillery not only smashed the mud city, but also broke the turtle shells of those who want their own generation to hide their heads and hide their heads, and all their children and grandchildren shrink their heads!

  Otherwise those Shandong gangsters will always just want to shrink in their own tortoise shells. They don't care if their hats are black, red, or green as long as they can keep their turtle shells on. Because these gangsters only see the color of the hats on other people's heads, and they also like to put hats on others. As for their own heads, they can't see it...

Even if Confucius was a little pedantic, he still knew the truth of repaying grievances directly. As a result, in the late period of Confucianism, he was all talking about foolish loyalty and filial piety, trying to cut off all the hands and feet of his people who resisted. To be **** brave is to become an excuse to be cruel at home and to flatter the outside. As a result, until later generations, many people still have weak knees when they see foreigners.

   Fei Qian looked back, and there was a small group of people in the distance of the queue.

  The little prince of Shanshan.

  Bu Sen old monk.

  There are also those Han Chinese who came to Shanshan before to beg or threaten Feiqian...

   Hum.

  Fei Qian turned his head and asked Chu Chu beside him, "Is there anything going on with the old monk?" 』

Xu Chu replied: "Not yet, but someone reported that when he was in the small town, someone seemed to want to contact the old monk, but when he saw that our soldiers were guarding him, he ran away again... If he comes again next time... he will definitely be able to catch him." Come…"

   Fei Qian nodded. He originally thought that someone would kill Bu Sen, or something would happen, using the name of Buddha's son and grandson to gossip, but he didn't expect these people to dare? Is it because the current Buddhists in the Western Regions are not so capable? Or is it because of the influence of certain aspects of later generations that Fei Qian made a wrong judgment?

Fei Qian thought for a while, then temporarily put Busen's affairs aside, and said to Xu Chu: "Send someone to send an order to General Taishi...the palace can be besieged but not attacked, and there is chaos in the city...As for the old king of Shanshan, Save his life first...don't rush to kill him...just say you can buy his life with money...』

  Of course, if the king of Shanshan wants to set himself on fire or commit suicide, Fei Qian will certainly not stop him, but the old king of Shanshan who is alive is obviously more valuable than the dead one.

  『Redemption? ’Xu Chu didn’t understand, and couldn’t help but glanced in the direction of the little prince of Shanshan, “Then, the little prince of Shanshan…”

  Fei Qian waved his hand, "Who will be the king of Shanshan, for us...the criterion is not who is more friendly to us, but who can bring more benefits to the great man..."

  It’s okay for people to talk about their feelings with each other, but it’s silly for countries to talk about their feelings?

  Xu Chu thought for a while, then nodded in response, "My lord's words are very true!" A certain reckless! 』

   Fei Qian waved his hand, "No problem. Let's go and pass the order. 』

  The news quickly reached the Imperial Palace of Shanshan City.

  Tong Luojia stared round, and his bloodshot eyes made him look more like a beast than a person.

"What? ”Tongge Luojia held up the knife, wondering if he heard it wrong, “Redemption? What redemption? What's the meaning? 』

   Tong Geluojia couldn't stand on the city wall when the artillery bombarded the city wall for the first round, and returned to the palace in a daze. He knew very well what a defeated king would face, but it was imposed on others back then, but now it may be imposed on himself.

  In order not to humiliate himself and his wives and daughters, he decided not only to commit suicide himself, but also to take his wife and children with him when the palace was breached.

  Self-immolation is obviously a good choice.

  Holding the knife was not for the final **** battle, but for him to embolden himself in the end.

   It's just that this desperate heart, after hearing the word "redemption", is like a snowman under the scorching sun, melting and collapsing in an instant.

   It turns out that he can still survive?

  Is there still a chance for a comeback?

  Whether there is a Dongshan in the Shanshan Kingdom is not the point. The point is that when Tong Geluojia has the hope of life, the idea of ​​death is naturally not so firm.

  The culture of Shanshan Kingdom is not very good, which can be seen from the fact that the characters it uses are given by others.

From Loulan to Shanshan, the environment has actually changed. In Shanshan, there are more "Qiaoren", or "Qiaoren", who are responsible for water conservancy facilities and water and soil management. But neither the upper echelon of Shanshan nor the middle aristocratic system responded to the changes in the surrounding environment...

   It's like the landlord class at the end of the small peasant economy in China.

  As long as you can still be the master, what does it matter if the external environment changes and the world develops, whether it is a native or a foreigner who becomes the emperor?

Judging from the Shanshan writings that Fei Qian has read, Shanshan’s fiscal revenue actually comes from many sources. In addition to the conventional poll tax, property tax, etc., there are various other taxes of varying amounts in Shanshan, such as contribution , fines, tolls, loans, etc.

Although the overall strength of Shanshan Kingdom, whether it is population or economy, may not be able to rank among the countries in the Western Regions, Shanshan Kingdom has no financial awareness from top to bottom, and all expenditure items are very random, and there is no budget. Arrangements, if you have money, spend it, if you don't have money, find a way to get it. As for the so-called pre-plan for the next year, don't even think about it.

  So such a country can not perish?

  Ji Ni City is now basically under the control of the Hussars, and there are law enforcement soldiers patrolling the streets to maintain law and order.

  A refusal horse was erected on the street, and soldiers were on duty at the intersection and key points.

  Before there were no artillery, who would have imagined that it would only take half a day to capture such a royal city?

Of course, the Mui King City is indeed a little better. Even most of the facades of the city walls are not covered with harder masonry. In previous siege battles, a lot of lives had to be filled, especially in the tug-of-war of attrition in the early stage.

Now…

  He who can lead soldiers into battle, fight together in blood and iron, and finally win the victory is a good general, but if he can make the soldiers safer and easier to win, they will also be welcomed by the soldiers. Even after many soldiers had basically occupied the King Ni City, they still felt a little unbelievable.

  Tai Shici led the troops to surround the Shanshan Palace.

   Like most palaces, they like to build on high ground to show their authority.

The same is true for the imperial palace in Shanshan. It may have been a rock at first, but rammed earth was added later, making the foundation of the imperial palace higher than that of the city. Walls and palaces were built on it, with domes common to nomads. , seems to be inlaid with golden tiles, shining brightly under the setting sun. Therefore, in the ancient city of Loulan in later generations, there are only traces of the city wall left. It seems that none of the houses in the city are complete. In addition to the wind and sand erosion of nature, these golden tiles may be part of the reason?

  Tai Shici looked up and said, "Send that guy a message, before sunset, he hasn't figured out his price, so don't think about it!" 』
