One thousand four hundred and sixty-four the end of Xiliao

Looking at their obedient appearance, Su Haisheng nodded slightly, and his views on these people were not as angry as before.

He just now planned to let all these people go to hell, but now he is still quite sensible.

"Okay, where is your monarch? Why didn't you surrender together? Can the monarch not surrender be considered surrender?"

Xiao Duolu looked embarrassed.

"Empress Dowager Chengtian does not want to see anyone, and is accustomed to the deep palace, so we cannot see him, so..."

"Empress Dowager Chengtian... Humph, it's interesting, take me to see her."

Su Haisheng snorted coldly and ordered his subordinates to loosen his ties.

Xiao Duolu did not immediately agree to the promise, and then stood up happily to lead the horse for Su Haisheng.

Apparently, he has entered the role of the Conqueror and has tried to get better post-war treatment by pleasing the Conqueror.

However, just as they entered Hu Siwo's ears, Su Haisheng frowned and saw a ray of black smoke rising into the sky from the north in front of him.

Xiao Duolu, who was leading the horse, also saw it, was stunned, and then was shocked.

"That's...that's the palace! General Su!that's the palace!"

"Send someone to put out the fire right away!"

Su Haisheng frowned and ordered the guards beside him. The guards rushed out and summoned people to put out the fire. Su Haisheng also rushed to the palace to check the situation as soon as possible.

Two hours later, the fire in the palace was basically extinguished, but unfortunately, Empress Dowager Chengtian Yelu Pusuwan died in the fire. Her burned charred corpse was found in the main palace burned into ruins.

Based on the residue of the clothes worn by her, the Ming army and the Western Liao sides initially determined that the deceased was her, but Su Haisheng was not relieved and ordered a large search of the whole city and digging three feet of the ground.

Because Hu Siwo'erduo was surrounded by the Ming army on all sides, unless there was a particularly secret and long tunnel in the palace that led directly to the outside world, Yelu Pusuwan would definitely not escape Hu Siwo'erduo.

Judging from the previous situation where more than 2,000 people broke through at night, the Ming army initially ruled out that Hu Siwo'er's secret escape path was possible, but Su Haisheng was worried if he didn't dig three feet into the ground.

One day and one night later, the city search was completed, and there was no news about Yelu Pusu's completion.

Another day later, the entire land in Husiwuerduo City was basically dug up, and it was not much different from the digging of the ground, and no authentic traces were found.

The Ming army conducted a severe interrogation of all the powerful people in Hu Siwu'er. Even when they embezzled how much money or took their lives was investigated, they did not know any news about the escape route.

Only then did Su Haisheng basically believe that the Empress Dowager Chengtian of Western Liao, Yelu Pusuwan, was really dead.

He felt sorry for this.

Although the powerful bureaucrats and soldiers in the Western Liao Dynasty complained about Yelu Pusuwanduo, when she was really dead, they still cried for her and felt inexplicably sad for her.

Not many people were killed in this palace fire, but it was more like a fire that Yelu Pusuwan set out specially for himself, and the combustion range was not large, so it was extinguished by the Ming army more easily.

The princes and nobles of the Western Liao Dynasty were basically safe. No one died because of the group of people who were killed in the night attack before.

However, Yelu Pusuwan's death also declared the official fall of Western Liao as a complete country.

At this time, it was November 29, the tenth year of Hongwu.

Su Haisheng agreed to this war to destroy the Western Liao Kingdom. As the destroyer of the Western Liao Kingdom and the recaptor of the Western Regions, his name will remain in history forever and be admired by people.

After this war, the Ming army controlled the entire Hu Siwo'erduo and thus obtained everything about the entire Hu Siwo'erduo.

Including all the property, food, military supplies, etc. stored by the officials of the Western Liao Dynasty and the princes, as well as official documents, royal utensils, ritual items, etc., among which the amount of gold and silver is particularly huge, and the seizure is abundant, which is astonishing.

Because of the collective surrender of the princes and nobles of the Western Liao Dynasty, their personal property was also announced to be deprived of all by the Ming army, becoming the spoils of the Ming army. Some princes and nobles protested and were rejected by the Ming army. Some people tried to escape, but were captured by the Ming army and beheaded in public.

Among the surrendered defenders of Hu Siwoerduo, some of whom were disturbed by this, were all eliminated by the Ming army.

So the situation in Hu Siwuerduo truly returned to peace.

Su Haisheng felt very helpless about the attitude of these Western Liao prisoners, so he called Xiao Duolu not to talk to him, so he asked him to explain some things to the prisoners.

"As prisoners of war, all their property becomes the trophies of the victors. This is a normal thing. No matter how you surrender voluntarily, you are still prisoners of war. Do you understand?"

Xiao Duolu smiled flatteringly, saying that he understood, but he still had some ideas.

Because they were the most familiar with the Western Liao country, they felt that they had the obligation to help the Ming Dynasty establish the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Western Liao homeland after the war. For this reason, Xiao Duolu did not put forward his own series of views.

It includes a series of contents such as appeasement of officials, powerful people, pacifying old army and local officials, tribal leaders, etc. He believes that these measures will help restore stability in the Western Regions as soon as possible.

Su Haisheng expressed his confusion about this.

"Why do you need to make suggestions from the territory that the Ming Dynasty conquered itself? You are prisoners, so you should be aware of being a prisoner. In the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty will send officials to deal with it. Don't say anything more, your disposal will come soon."

Xiao Duolu was not scared and did not understand Su Haisheng's statement.

Does it mean that the country has no intention to use them to restore stability in the Western Liao territory as soon as possible? They have their own ideas and do not intend to appoint them to continue to be superiors?

Su Haisheng didn't say anything more and directly drove Xiao Duolu away.

He was treated very simply from all the powerful Western Liao people, officials and senior generals, and was no different from normal prisoners of war. It would be better to say that ordinary prisoners of war soldiers were more valuable than Su Haisheng's eyes than them.

There were many Khitans in his army, as well as some Khitan instructors, so he arranged for these people to contact, talk and chat with soldiers from the lower class of Western Liao.

Among the Khitans, Su Haisheng felt that they must have many common languages.

And then they really have a lot of common languages.

These Khitan instructors told them about how they became Ming people and joined the Ming army and then gained new life, telling them that there was no oppression, exploitation and discrimination in the Ming Dynasty, and that everyone did not distinguish between ethnic groups and only had classes.

They patiently explained some basic common sense of the Ming Dynasty to the soldiers of Western Liao, some of the Ming Dynasty's policies, and gave them very good meals, thus gradually eliminating the gap between them.

The soldiers of Western Liao began to be willing to tell the Khitan instructors about their origins and past and the sufferings they suffered. The Khitan instructors encouraged them to speak out the sufferings of the past and talk loudly, so that they could feel relief.

This series of processes is no longer new within the Revival Society. The instructors in the army are particularly good at it, but where did the soldiers of Western Liao experience this process?

They soon entered the stage of expressing their hearts and complaining, and as the process deepened, the captured powerful and high-ranking officials of Western Liao were about to move towards their own destiny.

Although the orders of the Central People's Republic of China on dealing with these Western Liao prisoners of war have not been conveyed, this is not important. Except for a very small number of important figures, the Ming army had the same means of dealing with these high-level prisoners of war, which is a tradition within the Ming army.

On the fifth day of the 10th year of Hongwu, the complaints and the public trial meeting began in Husiwu, and the first batch of middle and low-level officers were taken to the public trial stage.

This is just the beginning.
