Chapter 969 Occupy Yeerqiang

At dawn, the sound of fighting in Asuke City stopped, and the city finally calmed down.

At this time, Sun Kewang led the rear army to arrive in front of the city gate. He saw Yarkand people scattered on the ground, and a flag of Zhou had been planted on the top of the city.

Sun Kewang led his army into the city. Every household in the city was closed, and the streets were filled with corpses that had not been cleaned, scattered weapons, and blood were bubbled, gathering together to form a beach of shocking blood.

At this time, Sun Kewang rode a war horse and came all the way to the city lord's mansion. An officer immediately stepped forward and held the reins of the horse for him. "The left minister and the right minister have been waiting for him for a long time."

Sun Kewang turned over and dismounted, led a group of Zhou army generals and officials into the bloody front yard, and saw Zhou army soldiers excitedly moving boxes of treasures out and piled them into a hill in the yard.

This satisfied Sun Kewang. Yarkand was built by descendants of the Chahatai Khanate. The Mongols have been entrenched here for hundreds of years. The herders lived like slaves and animals. However, the upper nobles and religious leaders were extremely rich. They all wore gold and silver, and had several large gem rings on their hands. The family had even accumulated a lot of money.

Sun Kewang hated this kind of local rich man from the bottom of his bones. Seeing so much treasure, he became more and more determined to formulate his own strategy.

At this time, Sun Kewang walked all the way to the hall and saw several headless corpses falling on the hall. His heads rolled down, and blood and blood foam were flowing from the cross section of his neck, which made people unable to get down.

Sun Kewang frowned slightly and looked up at the hall. Baishan Sect Apak and Zhuo were pressed to kneel on the ground by soldiers. Hong Chengchou sat in front of him casually.

"The left prime minister has arrived." Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

Apark and Zhuo immediately struggled to turn around and looked at Sun Kewang resentfully, "Sun Kewang, you are lying to me."

Sun Kewang had a stern face and shouted, "It's nonsense. The truth is just to make Abudullaha abdicate, but you cruelly killed him, which is really a jealous person."

Apark's veins swelled up, "You dare to humiliate me!"

Sun Kewang remained silent: "He Table, we Han people have a saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Abudulah is a vassal king enthroned by the Great Zhou Dynasty. You launched a rebellion and killed him without authorization. My Dazhou naturally wanted to raise troops to punish him, help Yerkang to quell the rebellion, and also ask for an explanation for Abudulah. I advise you to honestly explain the facts of the Baishan faction and Bals rebellion, and strive for leniency to deal with it."

Apak's eyes were red, "The heavenly kingdom calls on all sides with faith and righteousness. If the Zhou kingdom acts like this, he will inevitably be judged by the true god."

Aminke struggled desperately, but was held tightly by the guards, and could only keep cursing.

Sun Kewang didn't care about this. The strategy he wanted to implement was different from the Central Plains dynasties in previous dynasties.

The Central Plains dynasty in the past was unwilling to spend a lot of effort in the Western Regions and had to rely on small countries and nobles in the Western Regions to help maintain the rule of the Central Plains dynasty in the Western Regions. Therefore, while showing force against the countries in the Western Regions, they adopted a policy of gentleness. The purpose was to hope that these nobles could stand on the side of the Central Plains dynasty.

This time, Sun Kewang is very clear about his positioning, and he is here to be a big shot.

The purpose of the Zhou army was to plunder and plunder the wealth of the nobles of the Western Regions to enrich the national treasury.

In this way, it will be useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness. Not only will it not make money, but it may also cost money.

The Zhou army was originally here to eliminate these blood-sucking nobles in the Western Regions, so Sun Kewang was naturally not afraid of offending them.

This time, they were not among the Zhou Dynasty's efforts, and what Sun Kewang wanted to fight for were the poor herders and slaves in the Western Regions.

Sun Kewang frowned as he listened to Apak's verb, and looked at Hong Chengchou and said in a deep voice: "The right prime minister won't deal with it yet, what else should I wait for?"

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and immediately raised his sword and cut off Apark's head with one knife.

Hong Chengchou said: "The original minister will set off for Shache now, and I will leave it to the left prime minister."

Sun Kewang nodded slightly and reminded: "The right prime minister must declare that Bals colluded with the Baishan faction to kill Yarkand Khan. My Great Zhou is here to assist Yarkand to quell the rebellion and avenge the Yarkand Khan."

Hong Chengchou said: "How many people believe this?"

Sun Kewang sneered, "After capturing Shache, execute Bals and others, and then post a list in the city to allocate the land and ranch of the Baishan Sect, the Black Mountain Sect, and the Yarkand nobles who died in the civil strife to the Yarkand civilians, and they will believe it!"

Hong Chengchou nodded, then led his subordinates out of the hall and ordered his troops to Sha's chariot.

Sun Kewang then ordered people to open a banner to the people, promising to share the fields and pastures near Asuke City to civilians, and immediately arrange people to implement them.

The Yarkands, who were originally resistant to the Zhou army, immediately changed their attitude when they saw that the Zhou army really distributed the land and ranch to them, and sang and danced to welcome the Zhou army. Whoever dared to say bad things about the Zhou army would be immediately despised by the people around them.

If you share the things of the rich man’s family, the people will naturally be happy.

Now the focus of the Zhou Kingdom is in Guanzhong. There are not many Han people in the Western Regions, and Sun Kewang needs land and pastures, so he only copied the gold, silver and treasures of the nobles of 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 Yerkand, whose population accounted for the vast majority. After obtaining the land and pastures, these people actively produced, planted fruits, grain, raised cattle, sheep and horses, and the Zhou army could buy the seized silver to enrich military funds.

When Hong Chengchou sent troops to Shache, Sun Kewang quickly stabilized the eastern part of Yarkand through a series of actions in the rear.

At this time, Prince Bales, who entered Shache City, 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 brothers and the Montenegro nobles, Bales felt relieved. Just when he was full of confidence, Hong Chengchou led his troops to the city of Shache.

The Zhou army claimed that Bales had rebelled and colluded with the Baishan faction to kill Abudullaha Khan. The Zhou army came to quell the rebellion, and immediately caused chaos in the city's defenders.

They followed Bales because Bales claimed that his actions were supported by the Zhou army, but now the Zhou army directly rushed to the city and the army mutiny instantly.

The remnants of the Heishan Sect in the city took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, opened the city gate, and the Zhou army rushed in.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Bales only took dozens of cavalry and broke out, headed to surrender to Jungel, and then headed to Tsarist Russia.
