Tongyaluo city has been restored, but this is the core area controlled by the Gao family. How to clean up the people here is really a big problem.
For cities that do not surrender and fight to the death, the Mongol army, in accordance with the rules, will slaughter them. But since the fourth King Kublai Khan took charge of the state, he abolished this rule.
This time, the gaoguozhu of the GAOs would rather die than surrender. In this tongyaluo City, he resisted again. Many generals under the fourth Prince of Kublai Khan suggested to him that the city should be slaughtered in order to let the GAOs know the strength of the Mongolian army.
So many people put forward this proposal, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan's heart was also shaken.
You know, he has done a lot of slaughtering.
But for the sake of prudence, he still invited Yao Shu to discuss this matter with him.
After hearing this, Yao Shu shook his head like a rattle.
I strongly oppose it.
You know, at the beginning, the rule of abolishing the slaughtering city was the one that Yao Shuli advocated.
Yao Shu thought that the capture of tongyaluo city and the defeat of the army of the GAOs were enough to establish power.
The thing to do now should be charity.
Instead of slaughtering the city, they have to provide food and pay to appease the wounded soldiers of Gao's family and help the poor people who can't open the pot.
In this way, we must win the hearts of the people.
This is the Confucian way of governing the country.
For the fourth Prince Kublai Khan, he can understand, but it is really quite difficult for his generals to follow this idea.
This is also the reason why after listening to Yao Shu's opinions, the fourth Prince did not immediately express his position.
Seeing this situation, Yao Shu said: "please think about it. Now we have occupied tongyaluo City, and the subjects here are the subjects of the Mongolian Khanate."
"Fourth prince, as the commander of Dali, how can you slaughter the subjects of the Mongolian Khanate?" He asked again.
There is a profound truth in his question.
Han people said that forty thousand Ye Kublai Khan also read a lot.
He knew that killing his subjects was tantamount to destroying his own foundation.
At that time, when the proposal of slaughtering the city was proposed to him again, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was really a little feverish.
It seems that since the massacre has become history, it can only be forever sealed up.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, thought of this, and immediately beat the drum to gather the generals.
After a little while, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, called them again. These Mongolian generals were very happy. They thought that it was forty thousand Lord Kublai Khan who agreed to their proposal and announced the slaughter of the city to them.
The result, of course, was to disappoint the generals.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, pulled out the long sword he was wearing around his waist and cut it to Shuai.
This long knife is a treasure knife. It's usually thick pig iron. It can be cut into two pieces, not to mention the handsome wooden case.
If you start with a knife, the handsome case will be divided into two parts.
Kublai Khan, the fourth king, announced in a loud voice: "the generals will listen to the order. From now on, those who dare to mention the massacre of the city are so handsome."
The generals did not dare to say anything more when he was so powerful.
As we all know, the fourth Prince of Kublai Khan is very generous to his subordinates, but once you violate the military discipline, he will not tolerate it.
All the generals bowed to show their compliance.
"We captured Gao Guozhu's brother, Gao Qiang, alive. This guy is very arrogant in the custody place." One of them will lead the way.
After listening to this, Kublai Khan said, "if you don't tell me, I almost forgot about it."
"Now that we have forgiven the people in the city, we will set this place free." After thinking about it, I found another way.
Yao Shudao said: "fourth prince, in my opinion, the common people can be released, but this strength is unforgivable."
His suggestion was quite unexpected to the fourth Prince Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, felt that he did it completely according to Yao Shu's idea.
"Why is that?" He asked in bewilderment.
Yao Shu replied: "after Gao Qiang was arrested, I went to see him. I hope he can submit to the fourth prince, but he didn't listen at all."
"If a man like this is pardoned and released, he will certainly organize the people of the Gao family to oppose you again." He added.
Dali kingdom will belong to the territory of Mongolian Khanate when it is completely flattened in the future, but it is located in the southwest border, which can not be the core area of Mongolian rule.
Naturally, it will not leave a large number of Mongolian troops here, but rely more on the original officials of Dali kingdom to govern Dali.
In this case, if the Mongolian army led by the fourth King Kublai Khan leaves, then Gaoqiang will launch a rebellion, which is indeed a very difficult matter.
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, ordered the sergeant to take Gao Qiang to the execution ground, and then he came to the execution ground with his men and soldiers.Come in front of Gao Qiang, he stares, Gao Qiang has a look.
"There's nothing to see." Gao Qiang glared at him and asked.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, most appreciated those Silver Bear heroes who were not afraid of death.
At the beginning, when I was in heichushan, I was like this to Gao Gaoqiang's elder brother. Now, I am like this to Gao Gaoqiang.
He sighed and said to Gao Qiang, "General Gao, I respect you. You are also a hero. Finally, I'll give you another chance. As long as you swear allegiance to the Mongolian Khanate in front of everyone today, I will forgive you."
"Let bygones be bygones." He added.
After listening to Gao Qiang, he laughed contemptuously and said, "when the country is broken and the family is ruined, Gao Qiang has only one death."
To this extent, naturally, there is nothing to say.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, could only order the executioner to cut it down.
Strange to say, it was a sunny day. At this time, suddenly lightning and thunder, sandstorm and heavy rain came.
Most of the people watching the execution below are the children of the Gao family. Seeing this, they all kneel down on the execution ground and cry.
Kublai Khan was infected by this emotion.
He ordered that the descendants of the Gao brothers should be appointed officials in the city of tongyaluo.
It can be inherited by future generations.
the next thing to do for the gaoxingyi family is to console them.
When he first attacked the city, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was worried that Duan Xingzhi would send troops to rescue him. In case, he specially arranged a team to stop the rescue troops on the main road from Dali to Tokyo.
But Xiang Yitian did not send soldiers to save the king.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was worried.
He overestimated that Xiang Yitian was the king of virtue, Duan Xingzhi and his son.
To tell you the truth, their hearts are not as good as Lord Gao and father and son Gao.
If the fourth King Kublai Khan's army had gone to attack the Dali kingdom of Tokyo, Shanshan, it would have been possible for Gao Guozhu and Gaoqiang brothers to rescue Xiang Yitian and Duan Xingzhi.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of boundary between the two sides.
In order to flatten the land of the Gao family, the army worked very hard.
For this reason, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, ordered the whole army to rest for ten days in tongyaluo city.
After hearing this, all the troops were thundering with joy.
During this period, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan was not idle, but with his confidant counselor, Yao Shu, he was planning how to deal with the guard in Tokyo of Dali Kingdom, Shanshan's decision of King Xian and his son to Yitian.
Since entering the Dali Kingdom, they have met with fierce resistance. It can be said that the Mongolian army led by Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, suffered a lot of casualties.
In order not to let his loss too much, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan wanted to try not to use force in the last battle.
What he thought was the same way that he used at that time in the city of King Dali. He sent people to persuade the Lord of Dali to appoint the virtuous king and Duan Xingzhi to the righteous heaven.
Although he failed last time, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan hoped to succeed this time.
For this reason, he felt that as long as the master of Dali appointed the king of virtue to Yitian and Duan Xingzhi subordinated to the Mongolian khanate, he could take a risk and be the master of Dali. The master of Dali appointed the king of virtue to Yitian and Duan Xingzhi was the manager of Dali.
Judging from the current situation of both sides, it is the utmost benevolence and righteousness for the fourth Prince Kublai Khan to do so.
As for continuing to be called Wang Daogu in Dali, it will certainly not work.
You know, it's different now.
After hearing this, Yao Shu felt that it must not work.
At present, in Tokyo and Shanshan of Dali, the eldest son of Wang, who controls the troops there, the Gao family is finished in Dali. In his opinion, it's time for him to show his strength.
For the eldest son of the king in charge of military power, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, must feel that this is an insult to his personality.
The possibility of acceptance is almost zero.
However, as a member of Kublai Khan's staff, he can't always raise some objections different from the fourth prince.
You know, the fourth Prince Kublai was generous to his subordinates, but he was also dignified as one of the most powerful princes in Mongolia.
If you always object, even if the fourth Prince doesn't say it, I'm afraid I'll be upset.
Yao Shu knows this self-knowledge.
After listening to what the fourth Lord said, he had no idea.
He said he could try his idea.
However, there is no need to be too hasty in this matter. It is not too late to arrange people to do this work until the army has finished its rest and marched into the city of Nashan, which is guarded by Duan Xingzhi and his son, and Xiangyi Tianding Xianwang.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, felt that what Yao Shu said was quite reasonable, so he nodded and agreed to Yao Shu's suggestion .。In the city of Nashan, the leader of Dali appointed King Xian to Yitian. Madame Duan Xingzhi didn't expect that Kublai's army would march so fast.
When the news came, they were all surprised.
Xiang Yitian appointed the virtuous king. Duan Xingzhi quickly gathered the rest of the civil and military forces in the kingdom to discuss the countermeasures.
They felt like a mirror. With the end of the war to pacify the GAOs, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, would surely move his troops to deal with them.
To discuss, to discuss, the civil and military forces in the city of Shanshan and Tokyo in Dali kingdom are basically divided into two groups.
One of them, of course, is fighting to the end. The main ones who insist on this position are the martial arts under the command of the eldest son of the king. Of course, some of them come from the King City of Dali. In addition, there are also some people who feel that it is basically meaningless to fight again. They might as well submit to the Mongolian Khanate.
Of course, the latter's ideas have been severely attacked by the former.
Especially the eldest son of Wang.
He even pulled out the sword on his waist and claimed to stab those hateful capitulators to death.
As Tokyo of Dali Kingdom, the eldest son of Wang is the most powerful in Shanshan city. When he was so angry, the officials of Dali Kingdom who advocated to submit to the Mongolian Khanate were afraid of their own lives, so they did not dare to say anything more.
"Wang Er, the officials on the scene, whether they are resisting Kublai Khan at home or advocating obedience to Kublai Khan, are all for our good Set the way of virtuous king to the righteous heaven.
Wang's eldest son is now in power and is not afraid of his father.
After hearing that Xiang Yitian appointed King Xian and Duan Xingzhi, he immediately retorted: "father, don't forget that since Kublai Khan attacked Dali, many tribal leaders and officials have been timid and afraid of death. They have taken refuge with Kublai Khan and caused great harm to Dali."
"Those who surrender are hateful indeed. Father and wang'er, you have a common understanding. There is no doubt about that." The king of virtue was appointed to the righteous heaven, and Duan Xingzhi was the king of wisdom.
With a change of tone, he said: "but just now, Gu and other people were discussing the future of Mongolia. They had their own ideas. They proposed to submit to Kublai Khan, but they just put forward a kind of opinion for Gu's reference. Gu believed that once Gu decided to fight Kublai Khan to the end, they would fight together with Gu."
As soon as he said this, the officials who advocated surrender immediately knelt down on the ground to thank Xiang Yitian and Duan Xingzhi for their trust, saying that they would follow Xiang Yitian and Duan Xingzhi to the death, and that they would never betray him.
When Duan Xingzhi had finished speaking, he pointed to the kneeling officials and asked the eldest son of the king, "look, can you kill a lonely official like this?"
This is really the eldest son of the king asked.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
When Duan Xingzhi ordered his eldest son to put away his weapons, and the kneeling officials quickly flattened themselves.
So they continued to discuss the war.
Wang's eldest son thinks that at present, compared with the strength of the two sides, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, really has a great advantage. If you analyze it carefully, there is still a great chance for the army of Dali Kingdom guarding Dali Tokyo.
After several battles, although Kublai Khan's army had a short rest, the sergeants were still tired. As long as they could stay in Shanshan city of Dali kingdom for more than half a year.
If we can't conquer the city for a long time, the morale of the Mongolian army will be low.
At that time, the soldiers of Dali Kingdom, who are guarding Tokyo and Shanshan city of Dali Kingdom, will be able to fight back under the leadership of Wang's eldest son.
