The head fell into the snow without even rolling.
Timur did not believe until his death that he would die in the hands of a "nobody". Didn't Huihui merchant say that the Ming Dynasty was weak and too polite? Now when I draw the sword, there is no weakness at all, no politeness at all...
Guo Shouren, a Qianhu member of the Security Bureau, was startled by Xue Xia's actions. Looking at the dead Timur, his face was pale and he was trembling with nervousness: "Xue Tongzhi, this, this..."
Xue Xia put away the knife and gritted his teeth and said, "I bear all the blame alone and it has nothing to do with you!"
Guo Shouren was at a loss and his mind was confused.
Xue Xia, Xue Xia, you are the commander of the Security Bureau and you know the severity. Can you bear the responsibility for this kind of crime?
He is Tamerlane, a Sultan, and a king. How can you kill the king of an enemy country on the battlefield, especially when the other party has no resistance and wants to see the Emperor of Heaven!
What is the difference between humiliating the king and humiliating the royal family?
Big men have the dignity of big men, and they also have tacit respect for each other. If you kill Timur now, Emperor Jianwen will not let you go.
As long as Tamerlane is tied up and sent to the capital, it will be a good thing for the whole country to celebrate and the emperor to be happy. But you, you suddenly messed up this matter, how can you be so confused!
Guo Shouren was from Qianhu, so he naturally did not dare to accuse Xue Xia directly, but Zhu Di had no such scruples. When he heard that Xue Xia killed Timur, he thought it was a manslaughter during the pursuit at first, but when he heard it, he actually did it intentionally. Timur killed him when there was no resistance. He was immediately furious. Facing Xue Xia who was giving away his life, he picked up a horse whip and whipped him. While beating him, he scolded: "Do you know that you ruined the emperor's important matter? "
The whip struck the armor, making a clear sound.
Xu Huizu, Song Sheng, Yang Rong and others looked at Timur's head and were a little at a loss. If Timur was accidentally killed, it would be easy to report it as an accidental death. After all, swords and guns have no eyes, and gods The cannon has no eyes, and it will die when it dies. But Timur is already alone and has no power to resist. He also asked to see the Ming Emperor. If you chop him down now, it is a taboo. , lose the national dignity!
Zhu Di whipped him several times and saw no effect, and said angrily: "Push Xue Xia out and kill him!"
Xu Huizu trembled and quickly stopped the sergeant: "General, Xue Xia is a colleague of the Security Bureau. His killing of Timur was also an act of righteous indignation. For the sake of his meritorious service, please spare him once."
Zhu Di knew that Xu Huizu was reminding him that Xue Xia was from the Security Bureau and Zhu Yunzhen's people. He had no authority to kill him. But if he was not dealt with, how should Timur's death be explained to the emperor?
Wouldn't it be better for your sister Timur to be blown up to death? Why did you run so far and get stabbed!
And you, Xue Xia, you usually have a lot of brains, but why are you so confused? You either attack him from a distance and shoot him to death, or hack him to death before he can say anything. How can anyone ask for a meeting? Are you going to take action tomorrow? !
You have trampled the dignity of Timur, the leader of a country, into the cesspit! Is this what you, Xue Xia, should do when it comes to the truth? What a great achievement, but you made it difficult for you to get off the ground. You can't learn from other scouts. Harry was captured alive!
Xue Xia was also a tough guy. He ignored the requests of Xu Huizu and others, took off his armor, and took off his shirt directly in the ice and snow, revealing his strong body. There were two scars on his chest and five scars on his back. Each scar was Like a long earthworm, it’s shocking!
"The general wants to kill me, then do it! I, Xue Xia, have no regrets!"
Xue Xia threw away her clothes and shouted proudly.
Zhu Di was furious and drew out the sword from his waist.
Song Sheng and Xu Huizu quickly stepped forward, and Yang Rong, Tan Yuan, Yuan Yue and others also followed suit.
How can you kill the hero on the day of great victory?
Yang Fenghuo looked at Xue Xia. The shocking scars told everyone that he was once a soldier, and he also fought bloody battles. Like the sergeants, he charged forward and killed the enemy!
"If the general wants to punish Xue Tongzhi, then punish me too! I, Yang Fenghuo, admire such a man and don't think he
What's wrong with killing Timur? "
Yang Fenghuo gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting loudly.
Song Sheng had a headache. These were just governors, and they had no political consciousness at all! Xue Xia was right to kill, but the mistake was in the timing of the killing. Now that Zhu Di is angry, don't add fuel to the fire!
Zhu Di became even more angry and shouted at the "upright" Xue Xia: "Tell him, are you a fucking man? Can a man do such a thing? Xiong Wucheng, Suo Jing, where did you die?" Tell them whether Xue Xia should die!"
Suo Jing didn't say anything, Xiong Wucheng lowered his head and kicked the snow. Both of them felt bad. Xue Xia also really wanted to kill him. They were all from the Security Bureau anyway. Just keep your mouth shut and report it to the police so honestly. Well, it's fine now. Now that Zhu Di is angry, I'm sure the emperor will be angry again when he returns to the capital. What will you do then?
After the civil servants find out, I don’t know how many people will accuse you of disrespecting the royal family and losing the integrity of the country.
Huo Lin and Xuan Qingshu looked at Zhu Di who was being stopped, then looked at Xue Xia and Yang Fenghuo. They looked at each other, walked to Xue Xia's side, took off their shirts under the astonished eyes of everyone, and let the pain go to their bones. The cold blows away the shallow body temperature.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Qu Neng quickly scolded him.
Huo Lin looked at Zhu Di, shivering from the cold, and shouted loudly: "Killing the enemy chief is a hero, so why should he be punished! We are asking for orders. I am willing to be punished on behalf of Xue Tongzhi, and I also ask the general to spare him!"
When Xiong Wucheng, Suo Jing and other security bureau and scouts saw this scene, they couldn't help but be moved. They walked out one after another, took off their armor and clothes, and asked Zhu Di to spare Xue Xia.
Countless soldiers were touched and walked out one after another to plead for Xue Xia.
Zhu Di pushed Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and others away, and asked Xue Xia sternly: "Say, he has already surrendered and asked to see our emperor, why do you still want to kill him?!"
Xue Xia took a step forward, clenched his fists, and shouted like a bell: "Because of Timur's Eastern Campaign, how many soldiers did we lose or injured?! How many people in the Ming Dynasty braved the scorching heat and cold to deliver food and goods, and died on the road?! If By sparing his life and sending him to the capital, you want him to become the second Jieli, dance in front of the emperor, and live for four more years?!"
"The soldiers died in the battle, why should he still be alive? Countless heroic souls are gathered here. How can I face the dead soldiers when I bring the living Tamerlane back? I know it is inappropriate to kill him, but I, Xue Xia, would rather bear the infamy for the rest of my life. , despised by thousands of people, let Timur pay with blood!"
The awe-inspiring righteousness sweeps across the sky!
Countless people heard these shocking words and were moved every one of them.
The sergeant of the Three Thousand Battalion dismounted: "General, please forgive Xue Tongzhi!"
The Shenji Battalion dropped a cannon: "General, please forgive Xue Tongzhi!"
The fifth military camp banged on their armor: "General, please forgive Xue Tongzhi!"
For the dead soldiers and for the rest of their souls, the best gift is Timur's head, not the living Timur.
Zhu Di withdrew his sword, begged for mercy in front of countless soldiers, and shouted majestically: "Timur escaped and was shot by Xue Xia, the commander of the Security Bureau, and he was killed and beheaded!"
"Thank you, General!"
Xu Huizu, Song Sheng, Yang Rong and others breathed a sigh of relief. They could only conceal some truth. Of course, the concealment here was for court officials. Zhu Yunwen should know it or he would know it.
Zhu Di summoned the main generals to arrange the pursuit: "Although Timur was crowned, the emperor escaped, and Harry should still be in Yili City at this time. We don't have time to rest, so we must send people to pursue and capture it overnight. Polo City, Yilibaili City, especially Yilibali City, contain a large amount of Timur's baggage, which is extremely important for our control of the Western Region, and we cannot afford to lose it!"
Yuan Yue asked for an order: "I am willing to lead the cavalry to travel day and night to capture the two cities!"
Zhu Di nodded solemnly: "Yuan Yue is the leader, Liu Qixia and Qu Tao are the assistants, ten thousand cavalry, two cavalry, bring supplies, be sure to keep the baggage in these two places, Suo Jing, let Shen Chen, who is familiar with Yili, guard the inner city. , Zhang Mu and others went with them, and sent a message to Mao Zheng, Cai Xiongying, Chen Mao and others in Alashankou to cooperate in attacking Polo and also to control the inner city."
"Take your orders!"
Yuan Yue, Liu Qi
Xia and others went to prepare.
Zhu Di looked at Xu Huizu and Song Sheng: "Clean the battlefield, treat the wounded and wounded horses, capture the prisoners, captured horses, weapons, equipment, and supplies, and make a list one after another, and make a clear accounting without any mistakes."
"Take orders."
Xu Huizu and Song Sheng went to make arrangements.
Zhu Di looked at Guo Sansheng, Imam, Maha Mahuozhe and others: "Timur's main force has been completely wiped out, and the war in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is about to end. However, it is particularly important to rebuild the Western Region, appease the refugees, and settle the people. It is now winter. , the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, so letting people enter the city and obey the Ming Dynasty's management is the top priority."
"Imam, I will request an order from the emperor that you will be responsible for the management of the congregations in the Western Regions, but you need to understand that the Western Regions belong to the Ming Dynasty, and you are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court can allow you to practice religion and preach freely, but You will never be allowed to oppose or fight against the imperial court in the name of preaching. I don’t want to bring a large army here a second time.”
The Imam solemnly assured Zhu Di: "Whether it is the emperor or the prophet, they all long for peace and friendship. As long as the Ming Dynasty allows us to believe in religion and respect our customs, then we will be the most loyal and obedient people."
Zhu Di smiled: "Don't worry, Ming Dynasty can tolerate Buddhism, and it can also tolerate Islam. You should take great care to appease the people and appease them. If you need anything, you can just ask."
Guo Sansheng, Imam and others agreed repeatedly.
Zhu Di looked at Maha Ma Huo Zhe and others: "You have made military exploits for the imperial court, and you deserve no less reward. I only hope that you can be loyal to the imperial court, obey the imperial court's orders, and be respected only by the imperial court in the future."
Mahama Huozhe, Halahana and others knew Zhu Di's intention. He asked these people to no longer obey the command of Hami King Totuo, but to directly report to the Ming Dynasty for dispatch.
Timur's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated, and the Ming Dynasty's firearms shocked the souls of Mahamahuo, Halahana and others. Today, the Ming Dynasty has become so powerful that it is invincible. If you do not surrender to them, , who else can I surrender to?
King Tuotuo of Hami is a puppet himself. Hami, Turpan, Verumu, including the entire Yilibaoli Kingdom, will all be controlled by the Ming Dynasty! If he does not surrender to the Ming Dynasty at this time, Zhu Di will definitely not mind killing people!
"We are willing to obey the imperial court's orders!"
Maha Ma Huo Zhe and others responded solemnly.
The general trend is like this. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Those who don’t want to die can only obey.
Liu Jun, Xu Yingxu, and Xue Xia, representing the Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the Security Bureau respectively, led a group of people day and night to check battle damage, military exploits, and captures.
Because firearms and crossbows are widely used on the battlefield, it is unrealistic to find out who threw the gunpowder bullets and killed so-and-so, and who shot the arrows that killed so-and-so. It is possible to kill a person, dismount to pick up his head and then mount to continue fighting. Statistics of military achievements have become a huge problem.
