There are not people in Shanshan who have no blood and courage. After all, some people who can establish a country in the Western Regions must have to pay the price of blood and have the courage to fight. However, most Western Regions cannot escape a cruel fact. When the blood and brave men sacrificed their lives, the cunning men in the rear stole the fruit.

一代代的血勇者死去,奸猾者留存.

The blood brave will only receive verbal praise, but cannot receive practical care in life. Therefore, in Shanshan, there are naturally fewer and fewer blood brave people who have survived.

扜泥城破.

The spirit of Shanshan Kingdom was like this city, and it was poked with holes everywhere.

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

鄯善,亡了!

无可挽回!

When the mud in the royal city of Shanshan fell, the people in the royal city were divided into various forms.

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

逃跑和躲避,是大多数鄯善人的选择.

In the chaos, this part of Shanshan people had already collapsed mentally. Many people subconsciously chose to avoid and escape. Although they didn't know where to escape, and they didn't know what would happen in the future when they were exiled in the Western Regions, these Shanshan people who fled Shanshan no longer ignored it and just wanted to escape from this battlefield and escape from the disaster of blood and fire.

What they couldn't escape was to close the door quickly, then block the door with something, and then the whole family hugged each other and shivered. In their chaotic thinking, they didn't even realize that even the city gate walls could not resist the soldiers of the cavalry, and their own thin wooden board door could really give them safe shelter?

For these Shanshan people who escaped and evaded, Shanshan Kingdom and their future...

They knew that it was gone, but they didn't know what to do or what to do.

So they subconsciously shrank their heads, just like an ostrich burying their heads in the sand. The real world is so terrible. If they can escape, they can escape. If they can, they can hide, and if they really can't, they will close their eyes and wait for death...

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

But what is very interesting is that among these Shanshan people who committed suicide and sacrificed their country, some of them first cut off and killed some of their own people, attacked the Shanshan people who were running away, chopped and scolded them, and finally they would collapse, either burn themselves or commit suicide.

It’s like if you don’t kill some people and you will die uneasy.

Those who were unwilling to commit suicide and attacked the Hussars basically failed to cause much damage to the Hussars. Many Shanshan people shouted from afar, then rushed up with swords and guns, and were shot and killed before running halfway. Even if they could occasionally get to the Hussars, most of them fought alone because they had no organizers and were quickly killed.

That's right.

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

The surrendered official almost drew out the last ignited spark from Shanshan Kingdom and broke the last supporting bone. Then the spirit of the entire Shanshan royal city disappeared into the rising chrysanthemums of these officials with a squirting sound.

So later, even the Shanshan people who fought to the forefront lost their fighting spirit. Even their officials were like this. What value does this country have in their efforts for it?

Not all Shanshan officials were willing to surrender, but they could not save Tian Qing, and it was even more impossible to bring back the changed hearts of the surrender factions. At the beginning, these people were shouting to fight and fight, but soon they were surrounded by the officials around them and beaten up, and even stabbed the waist in the back.

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

As the city gate opened, under the leadership of Taishici, the cavalry rushed into the city rumbling. If they saw some Shanshan people fleeing in a panic or walking in a daze on the street, as long as it did not hinder the progress, these Hussar soldiers would even be disdainful to chase and kill them. They just roared past these Shanshan people, and even shouted to surrender.

Because almost everyone knows that under such a situation, these people in Shanshan can no longer be called an effective organization. They are like a thousand sheep. Even if they are sheepdogs that have crushed dozens of times the number, as long as the sheepdog barks, the flock will be obedient...

In the Shanshan royal city, Hu Yu with various accents was crying in a mess.

The exquisite embroidery and inlay craftsmanship represent the king's flag being trampled under his feet and broken.

The statue of gods and Buddhas that originally stood on the corner of the street fell to the ground and broke into dozens of pieces, stained with blood, but the Buddha's head was still smiling, as if it was still very happy.

The Hussars have begun to rotate in sequence, and the Hussars who had previously rushed are now retreating to the second line for repair. The hussars, whose armor is stained with blood, have either lifted their face armor, or have a sling in their pockets, or sit or stand. Some laughed loudly and didn't care whether others were listening. Some were turning their bloody palms over and looking at them, and some groaned under the treatment of the doctor...

But no matter who it is, he is too lazy to even look at those Shanshan people who are in a state of dismay. Even if he occasionally looks over, he will naturally bring out some look of contempt.

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

You weak guys...

Regarding the various people in the Shanshan royal city, the surrendered Shanshan officials said that they could not see it at all and had no time to see it. Now for them, the key is to look at the faces of Fei Qian, Taishi Ci, and the officials of the Cavalry.

When Taishici entered the city, these Shanshan officials were under the surveillance of the Hussars, kneeling respectfully on both sides of the street with their butts sticking out, in order to show their surrender to the Hussar and Taishici.

These were once the "parent officials" of the people of Shanshan Kingdom, and they were all thinking about how to please the new rulers who came to Shanshan Kingdom. Who has time to care about whether the people of Shanshan Kingdom laugh or cry?

In order to show his determination to cut off all relationships with Shanshan, he even deliberately abandoned the original Shanshan traditional leather robe and wore a whole set of Han clothes. Judging from the degree of combination of Han clothes and the material of the robe, it must have been not made by someone temporarily...

Taishici tsk and said nothing.

For a Shanshan person, it would be fine to wear Han robes.

Are there strange clothes? Sometimes when Taishi Ci is free, she will wear a leather robe in winter to keep warm. This is nothing, but if it is a formal occasion, Taishi Ci will definitely wear Hanfu.

Now, these "parent officials" who are worshipped by the people of Shanshan who live by sucking the blood of Shanshan, not only do not resist or be sad because the Shanshan royal city was captured, but have happily put on Han robes, which have become fashionable...

This made Taishici feel a little disgusted.

So Taishici was too lazy to say something to these people. After glanced at them with a little disgust, he gave a deep command, asking these guys to wait aside and not block the way.

Compared to meeting these guys, Taishici paid more attention to the situation of the granaries in the city. When he led his soldiers to the granaries area, he found that there was no one guarding the place, and the door was open. There were some scattered items and utensils scattered on the ground. They also blocked several thieves who were stealing in the granaries. When they saw the Hussars coming, they rushed around and wanted to climb over the wall to escape, but were shot down with one arrow.

Taishici inspected the whole thing and frowned.

Most of the granaries of a royal city are empty...

Of course, it is not entirely empty, and there are also some low-value items piled up in the granaries.

"Come!" Taishici ordered, "Calculate the granary items immediately and register them!"

…(`dish)…

Fei Qian looked at the mud city filled with smoke in the distance.

The capture of the sacred city is not a surprising thing.

The accuracy of the artillery is still a big problem, but perhaps there is no way to completely improve the entire development of the smoothbore gun. And if you want to climb to the branches of the rifled technology tree, there are still many obstacles to get through it little by little.

Even so, the suppression effect of artillery on the city wall is enough to be reflected.

In the past, it was all about human life to attack such a city.

Now that you have the cannon, all you spend is money.

This is almost a earth-shaking change. From piling up people to piling up money, perhaps China will move towards greed and corruption faster, but perhaps it is better to ignore the bottom class and ignore human life?

Corruption, corruption, decay.

Perhaps such a path cannot be avoided even if you have changed the dynasty.

Fei Qian didn't know whether he had opened a magic box when he did this himself, but for China, if he wanted to break through the blockade of the small peasant economy and move towards the road of outward expansion, there must be a strong and powerful stimulus...

The artillery broke not only the turtle shell, but also the turtle shells that wanted their generation to shrink their heads and hide, but also wanted all their descendants to shrink their heads!

Otherwise, those Shandong gangsters would always want to hide in their turtle shells. As long as they could keep their turtle shells from falling off, they would not care whether the hats on their heads were black, red, or green. Because these gangsters would only see the color of the hats on other people's heads and like to label them. As for what they had on their heads, they would naturally not see...

Even though Confucius was a little pedantic, he knew the principle of revengeing grievances with directness. As a result, in the late Confucian period, he was all talking about being foolish, loyal, filial, and attempted to cut off all his hands and feet of his people's resistance. Later, he whined and said why the people lost their blood and courage, which became an excuse for their own cruelty to the inside and flattery to the outside. As a result, many people still felt weak when they saw foreigners.

Fei Qian looked back and saw that there was a small group of people far away in the queue.

The little prince of Shanshan.

Old Monk Bu Sen.

There are also those Han people who came to Shanshan before, either begging or threatening Fei Qian...

Humph.

Fei turned his head and said to Xu Chu beside him: "Is there anything wrong with the old monk?"

Xu Chu replied: "Not yet, but some people reported it, saying that when they were in the small town, someone seemed to want to contact the old monk. But when they saw our soldiers guarding them, they ran away again... If they come next time... they will definitely be caught...

Fei Qian nodded. He originally thought that someone would kill Bu Sen, or do something to make a move, using the name of the Buddhist descendants, but he didn't expect that these people would not dare? Is it because the current Buddhists in the Western Regions are not that capable? Or is it because of the influence of some aspects of later generations that Fei Qian made a wrong judgment?

Fei Qian thought for a while, and then put Bu Sen aside for the time being, and said to Xu Chu: "Send someone to send an order to General Taishi... The palace can surround but not attack, and first install the chaos in the city... As for the old king of Shanshan, he will save his life first... and do not rush to kill... and say that he can use money to redeem his life..."

Of course, if King Shanshan wanted to burn himself and commit suicide, Fei Qian would certainly not stop him, but the alive old King Shanshan would obviously be more valuable than the dead.

"Red buy?" Xu Chu was a little confused, and then couldn't help but look at the direction of the little prince Shanshan, "Then this little prince Shanshan..."

Fei Qian waved his hand, "Whoever is the King of Shanshan, for us... the standard is not who is more kind to us, but who can bring benefits to the great man..."

It’s okay for people to talk about emotions, but countries are stupid, aren’t they?

Xu Chu thought a little and nodded, "What the lord said is so good! I'm reckless!"

Fei Qian waved his hand, "It's okay. Let's go and pass the order."

The news was quickly passed to the Royal Palace in Shanshan City.

Tong Groga's eyes widened, and his bloodshot eyes made him look like a beast more like a man.

"What?" Tong Groga carried the knife and wondered if he had heard it wrong. "Reden? What is redemption? What does it mean?"

When Tonggeroga was bombing the city wall in the first round of artillery, he could not stand on the city wall and returned to the palace in a daze. He knew very well what a defeated king would face, but it was applied to others back then, but now it might have fallen on his own.

In order not to insult himself and his wives and daughters, he decided not only to commit suicide by himself, but also to take his wife and children with him at the moment when the palace was broken.

Self-immolation is obviously a good choice.

Holding a knife was not for the final bloody battle, but for the end he gave himself courage.

However, after hearing the word "redemption", this decisive heart was like a snowman under the fierce sun, and instantly melted and collapsed.

So, can you survive?

Still have a chance to make a comeback?

Whether Shanshan Kingdom has East Mountain is not the point. The point is that when Tong Groga has hope of life, the idea of ​​death will naturally not be so firm.

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

From Loulan to Shanshan, the environment has actually changed. There are also "Qiao people" in Shanshan, or "qiao people" who are called "qiao people", which are specialized in water conservancy facilities and water and soil management. However, neither the upper class or the middle aristocratic system of Shanshan has any reaction to the changes in the surrounding environment...

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

As long as you can still be the local owner, the external environment changes and the world develops, what does it matter if you are a native or a foreigner to be an emperor?

Judging from the Shanshan writings that Fei Qian has read, the fiscal revenue of Shanshan actually comes from many aspects. In addition to the conventional head tax, property tax, etc., there are also various other taxes in Shanshan with varying amounts, such as contributions, fines, travel expenses, loans, etc.

Although the overall strength of Shanshan, whether it is population or economy, may not be able to be ranked among the countries in the Western Regions, Shanshan has no financial awareness from top to bottom. All expenditure projects are very casual and there is no budget arrangement. If you have money, you will spend it and find ways to make it without money. As for the so-called next-year plan, don’t even think about it.

So how can such a country not perish?

The Ni City is now basically under the control of the Cavalry Army, and there are patrolling law enforcement soldiers on the streets to maintain public order.

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

Before artillery, who could imagine that it would only take half a day to capture such a royal city?

Of course, the Cyclone Royal City has indeed become a bit of a waste. Even the facades of the city walls are not covered with harder bricks and stones. It is just rammed earth. The structural strength is not strong enough. However, even such rammed earth city walls have to be filled with a lot of lives in previous siege battles, especially in the early tug-of-war of consumption.

Now...

The one who can lead the soldiers to fight together and fight in blood and iron, and ultimately win is certainly a good general, but if the soldiers can win safer and easier, they will also be welcomed by the soldiers. Many soldiers still feel incredible even after they have basically occupied the Cyclone City.

Taishici led his troops to surround the Shanshan Palace.

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

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