Qiming 1158

Chapter 1477 Measure the material resources of Khwarizimo, and end the favor of the Guer Dynasty

It is obvious that the Gul Dynasty army had a very strong sense of ownership for the Khwarizm country.

As a result, some armies specially raided the homes of these powerful landlords at night, burned, killed, looted, and ran away with a large amount of food, money, and women.

The next day, the local officials came to take a look. Good guy, the house was burnt down, everyone was burned to charred corpses, there was no one alive, and there was no evidence of death.

There are also some particularly arrogant troops, who burn, kill, and loot in front of other officials. They don't care at all. Officials organize. They beat the officials half to death and threw them into the mud. Then they laughed and continued to loot unscrupulously.

Because of various illegal acts during the march, as well as excessive burning, killing, and looting, many local officials in Khwarazm country raised strong dissatisfaction and protests to the central government, hoping that the central government could restrain these lawless robbers a little.

But what can the center do?

Arslan was out of desperation to ask the Gul Dynasty army to help resist the Ming army. All the costs have been prepared, not even the country and the country, just for survival.

Now it's all a price, a price for the continued existence of the country, a price for him to continue to hold power, for which he will do whatever it takes.

So he just ordered the place to be patient, to restrain his own people, to [measure the material resources of Khwarizimo, and to gain the favor of the Guer Dynasty], to do everything that the people and local tyrants have to make the uncles of the Guer Dynasty satisfied. .

Only in this way can they stay and help them resist the coming Ming army.

Regarding Arslan's attitude, the Khwarazm country was clearly divided into two factions, one supporting and the other opposing, and those who supported it were less than those who opposed it.

The supporters are basically Arslan's diehard loyalists, who are his cronies. They are promoted by him and naturally follow his pace.

The opposition is mainly from a wealthy and powerful family, and has its own family forces scattered in the local area. They are under great threat from the Gul Dynasty army, and some have even been killed.

They generally believe that the military discipline of the Gul Dynasty is corrupt and unscrupulous, and now it has brought such a big disaster to Khwarizmo, so what will it bring in the future?
They can't even think about it!

After that, whether they win or lose, is it any good for Khwarizimo?

From then on, the people of Khwarizmo are second-class citizens, and they will suffer even more cruel exploitation and oppression, more things will be taken away, and even their lives will not be saved. Be a fish!

How can this be accepted?
A large group of them thought about it, and suddenly felt that things were turning around.

Anyway, this battle has not yet started. If they jumped in time and attacked the Gul Dynasty army from behind with the army of Khwarizm, and fought with the Ming army, would there be a better ending?
It is Arslan that the Ming people want to blame, not the entire court of Khwarizmo. As officials, they may not be treated the same, right?
Some people are worried, and some people use the example of the kingdom of Sikara Khan as a comparison.

Under the coercion of Western Liao, the kingdom of Xikarakhan dispatched [-] troops to attack the Ming army together. The Khan Kingdom is a vassal state.

Now that the kingdom of Xikarakhan can rely on the Ming Kingdom to show off its power, isn't this the best future?
It is said that the Western Karakhan kingdom made the right decision by capturing Xiao Weili, the marshal of the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and presenting it to the Ming Kingdom, thus saving the situation. So should we follow suit now?
These dignitaries have long been dissatisfied with Arslan, so they acted in secret and did their best to fight for their own interests.

On the other hand, the spies of the Skynet Army told Su Haisheng, who was on the march, about the unscrupulous burning, killing, looting, and looting of the Gul Dynasty army in the territory of Khwarizimo.

"Guo Erguo's army is so rebellious, the people of Khwarizimo country should not be unresponsive, and even the powerful officials will not be unresponsive. I think they will definitely have conflicts. If we move fast, maybe we will I don't see anything like that anymore."

Masoud was curious about Su Haisheng's thoughts.

"what do you mean?"

"It's better for us to suspend the march and march slowly, just to give the logistics a breathing space. Now that it is the spring ploughing season, I can also let the army help the local farmers to cultivate the land, seize the farming time, and reduce the impact on production."

Su Haisheng grinned: "To be honest, I now feel that it is not a good thing to quickly march into a decisive battle with Guo Erguo's army, which will inevitably cause chaos in its country. ?"

Su Haisheng asked politely, but Masoud couldn't take this matter as Su Haisheng asking for his opinion.

No matter whether Su Haisheng asks or not, as long as it is what he wants, he will definitely push forward with all his strength, and Masoud cannot object.

Needless to say, if the army no longer advances or stops in a certain place, the loss of food is of course the smallest, and the transportation of food during the march is the major loss.

As for doing farm work, Maswood had no idea, so he took it as Su Haisheng's joking and laughing, and felt that he would be responsible for the rations of the 3 people during this period of time. People eat horses, which is another fortune No small overhead.

He planned to eat this dumb loss, but he didn't expect that Su Haisheng was really a master of what he said.

With his order, the [-] Ming Army was divided into two parts.

One part conducts daily military training, and the other part enters the countryside to help local people engage in agricultural production. The two parties take turns to exchange responsibilities to ensure that both military tasks and production tasks are not left behind.

The soldiers of the Ming Army were basically farmers before they joined the army. They were not unfamiliar with various techniques of agricultural production, and they were strong. [-] strong laborers joined the agricultural production, which was a great deal to the local people. s help.

At first, the local people were very afraid of this group of strong soldiers, and they didn't know what they were doing here.

Local officials and officials claimed that these Ming soldiers were here to help everyone with farm work. The peasants felt that this was very absurd, and some people even thought it was funny.

These arrogant, domineering, and very cruel soldiers wouldn't be bad if they didn't come to rob and bully men and women, but they also came to help everyone with farm work?

Where in the world is there such a soldier?
What a joke.

So the peasants were very frightened and avoided one after another. Some even planned to help the old and the young to hide in the nearby mountains. The local officials forced them not to leave, causing them to stay in the village with tears in their eyes and trembling, not going anywhere. Dare to go.

But even if the officials forced them, they did not dare to approach the soldiers of the Ming army, and they hid at home and did not dare to come out.

Men, women and children dare not show up, only the old, weak and disabled dare to show up, which makes the local officials very annoyed.
