Chapter 92 Night of the Long Knives

Chapter 92 Night of the Long Knives
night.

On a certain pagoda.

"Night of the Long Knives!"

Yang Feng sat on the big sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of wine and overlooking the city that was on fire.

The Semites rebelled.

Although Kublai Khan hadn't officially issued an edict, after Zhenjin and his ministers made their remonstration, the Khan was furious at the Semites' disrespect towards the Immortal Lord and their disrespect for Changshengtian. Furthermore, as the ministers began to expose the Semites' various evil deeds, the Khan angrily denounced them as ungrateful...

Just as he behaved after Ahama's death in the original history.

The Khan is also a talented actor!

Therefore, the imperial edict to expel the Semites has been confirmed to be issued tomorrow.

Of course, the Semites in the city took the initiative.

The imperial edict hadn't been issued yet. As long as Kublai Khan was under control, he could exchange it for another one, accusing Zhenjin of colluding with demons to murder his father and usurp the throne. This sort of thing was simple and didn't require any special planning. They all gathered around temples, so all the temple elders had to do was issue an order. At midnight, the entire city's Semites armed themselves and stormed out of their settlements, even children. Tens of thousands of them stormed the palace, while women also rushed out and set fire to the city walls.

but……

Other ethnic groups in the city were also waiting.

The arrival of the Immortal Lord is a signal, telling them that the day of cleansing has come.

The wealthy and powerful people in the city had all prepared their armor and weapons, and their servants had already gathered and were on standby, waiting for the day when wealth and power would be reshuffled. While the Semites were rushing towards the palace, they also rushed out of their respective settlements.

The two sides met in the streets and alleys, and killed each other without hesitation.

In this way, the raid on the palace turned into a huge melee that set off the entire city.

This was indeed the Night of the Long Knives.

Kublai Khan had been relying on Semites for years, as he was unsure of both the Mongols and the Han Chinese. The Semites were indeed his base, but they also demanded more, and there were many to choose from. After all, he wasn't the only one qualified to be the Great Khan. Meanwhile, the Han hereditary nobles, including the Jurchens and Sinicized Khitans, who were treated the same as the Han Chinese at this time, were all local tyrants, hereditary nobles with land and subjects similar to their own tribes.

They have roots.

Those who have a foundation should consider their own foundation.

They will not be completely loyal to him.

But the Semites were different. They had no roots. All their power and wealth came from him, or the Yuan Emperor.

Like a eunuch.

Collect money for him, do dirty work for him, spy on various places for him...

Ahama had plundered huge amounts of wealth for him over the years and ensured his finances. Although Ahama himself was as rich as a country, when he needed money, he could take it away with just a word. Even his family became a sacrifice, used by him to vent the resentment of his ministers.

And now all the Semites have become victims of his interests just like Ahama.

Emperors have been like this since ancient times.

"Kill, kill all these Semites! These bastards made so much money, it's time for us to spit it all out today!"

A warrior in full armor shouted excitedly under the pagoda.

Behind him, the armed servants rushed forward.

A large number of Semites in front of them were also rushing towards them frantically.

Yang Feng swung the jade axe in his hand, then stood up and walked into the crack. The next moment he was standing between the two sides.

Before either side could react, he pointed his Fang Tian Hua Ji in his other hand. With a whistling sound, a dense cloud of fire exploded among the charging Semites. Dozens of 120mm mortar shells instantly created a hell of death. The blast sent the Semites' limbs and arms flying in the flames, and their bodies instantly piled up on the street.

With just this one blow, there were not many Semites left standing.

"Go on, kill them all!"

Yang Feng turned around and said.

"Immortal Lord, enjoy eternal blessings and a lifespan as long as the heavens!"

……

Behind him, people were bowing down in worship.

As these guys kowtowed, Yang Feng nodded and walked back into the crevice, then returned to his sofa and watched these guys swarm forward, continuously cutting the throats of the injured Semites. A few Semites who survived knelt down and begged for mercy, but were hacked to death by these guys without hesitation.

They cheered excitedly and even cut off the heads of these Semites and carried them around.

Then rush towards the settlements of these Semu people.

There, countless gold, silver, jewelry and even young women were waiting for them in the mansions.

Our Yuan Dynasty was founded on plunder, and the desire for plunder is the common pursuit of everyone. When there are external enemies, we plunder the external enemies, and when there are no external enemies, we plunder the internal enemies. Gold, silver, jewelry, land, and beauties, as long as they can become ours, why should we care from whom they are robbed?

Whatever you grab is yours.

Gold and silver have no owner, so if you grab them, they are yours.

They rushed into the Semite settlement like a group of wild beasts and began to kill crazily.

Yang Feng forbad the killing of the elderly, the weak, women, and children, but these people were not his subordinates. They killed anyone they saw, even skewering them with spears for fun. They did the same thing they did when they captured Song cities. Why did they have to be taller than the wheels? Wouldn't it be better to just lay the wheels flat? Cutting the grass at the root, waiting for the Semites who had experienced this massacre to grow up with the hatred hidden in their hearts, would they one day seek revenge?

They have a lot of experience in this!
As a group whose KPI is second only to Queen Victoria in history, at least in this world right now, no one knows how to kill better than them.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng anymore.

His job was simple: to observe the chaos and offer support whenever necessary. Fearing a premature Semite attack, Kublai Khan was hesitant to mobilize his forces. The peace talks were no secret; after Alahan massacred his own Semites, the Semites knew things were amiss. They and Kublai were wary of each other. The Semites were numerous, and spread across the court and the country. If Kublai Khan mobilized his forces, no matter how secretive he tried, he wouldn't be able to hide it. Furthermore, Kublai Khan didn't know how much trust he held among the Mongols, which would surely incentivize them to act prematurely.

So he could only act first to reassure the colored people, and then suddenly invite the Immortal Lord to come.

Yang Feng was in charge of Dadu.

Then the cleansing of the secular population will be completed by the people already present in the metropolis.

Then, a street intersection where a fight was taking place appeared in his sight in the distance.

The Semites there were obviously more brave and hacked and killed their opponents crazily.

Yang Feng immediately threw the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.

A fierce Seljuq general, fully armored and charging forward with unstoppable force, instinctively turned his head. The next moment, a golden light streaked through the night sky, instantly passing through his body. Then, in his frozen astonishment, it continued to pass through his subordinates behind him at an extremely fast speed, even leaving a golden line that formed a visual residue.

"Long live the Immortal Lord!"

The opponent who was originally being beaten by him shouted excitedly in the direction of the pagoda.

Then the guy swung his knife and chopped off his head.

The remaining Semites have collapsed.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

The guy roared.

He carried the head of the Semu general, stepped on his corpse, and rushed forward with his men.

Above them, the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which had just pierced hundreds of Semu soldiers, transformed into a streak of golden light, streaking across the night sky once more before returning to Yang Feng's grasp. Meanwhile, a city gate in the distance had opened, and a large number of fleeing Semu were pouring out. However, there were no elderly, weak, women, or children; only young and strong men. It was clear they knew they had failed, and now their priority was escape. Yang Feng calmly cut through the gap and reached the city gate. He stood on the official road, looking across at the Semu soldiers rushing out of the city. The next moment, a large-caliber machine gun with an anti-aircraft tripod was set up in front of Yang Feng.

He stood behind and calmly watched the Semites rushing towards him.

The muzzle flame suddenly spurted out.

The 12.7mm bullets drew tracers that cut through the night sky and instantly hit the Semites. The latter's armor was as thin as paper. The bullets, as thick as fingers, penetrated into their bodies and flew out from behind them with flesh and blood, breaking their limbs and even penetrating more than one person at a time.

In a blink of an eye, corpses piled up in front of the city gate, and the corpses of people and war horses even blocked the city gate.

The Semites, whose flesh and blood were splattered in the whistling of bullets, looked up at the sky in grief and anger, as if praying to their gods. An elder even dismounted in the tracers of bullets, knelt on the road and prayed to the southwest.

But the next moment the tracer light flashed and his head exploded.

"god?"

Yang Feng smiled contemptuously.

"Here I am your God!"

He then shouted.

The large-caliber machine gun in front of him spewed flames and tracer bullets whizzed forward.

Dead bodies continued to pile up in front of the city gate.

After blowing the head off the last Seljuq who tried to escape from the city, he looked at the city gate which was completely blocked by corpses, then put away his machine gun and pointed his Fang Tian Hua Ji at the city gate. A plastic oil barrel flew out and hit the top of the city gate. The gasoline that fell after shattering was ignited by the still burning torches among the corpses and instantly turned into a blazing flame, which also ignited the piled corpses.

The city gate turned into a sea of ​​fire.

And it can't be burned out in a short time, after all, there are dead bodies inside that can be burned.

He then took off into the air and turned into a golden light flying over Dadu.

"Kill, kill all these Semu!"

He roared in the sky.

Almost every street and alley in the city was a scene of frenzied slaughter. Under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion, the Mongol princes, the Han nobles, the Jurchens, the Khitans, and even the Tanguts all put aside their past conflicts and rushed towards a common goal. They beheaded the Semites, stormed their homes, looted their accumulated wealth, and dragged off their women. From the inner city walls, Kublai Khan and his son watched. Yang Feng's figure flew overhead like a demon. Zhenjin quickly saluted, and Kublai Khan quickly put on a smile...

the next day.

Under the morning sun.

Blood flowed on the streets.

“Thank you, Immortal Venerable! If you hadn’t intervened, these Semites would have nearly stormed into the palace.

I was also confused. I was deceived by these bastards for so many years. I thought I was their loyal subject. I didn't expect that they took advantage of my trust and committed so many crimes by taking bribes, perverting the law, selling official positions and titles. If their crimes had not been exposed, if they continued like this, the Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed by them. "

His Majesty the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty finally walked out of the palace, standing in the blood that had not yet dried, with a look of great sorrow, looking at the dead bodies of the Semites who were being cleaned up around him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. This has been the case since ancient times."

Yang Feng said with a kind look.

Li Jushou winked at Zhao Bingwen, who immediately came to his senses.

"Your Majesty is destined by Heaven and is naturally protected by the gods. The Immortal Venerable has come here at the behest of the Lord of Heaven to help Your Majesty eliminate the rebellion and restore the foundation of the Taizu. I request Your Majesty to issue an edict honoring the Immortal Venerable as the Grand Master of the Yuan Dynasty, ordering temples to be built and dedicated to him throughout the land, and to issue an imperial decree to the vassal states, ordering them to respect the Immortal Venerable as their supreme master. Those who disrespect him will be punished."

He quickly knelt down and said with an attitude of loyalty.

Other ministers knelt down and gave their advice.

"Xianzun, what do you think?"

Kublai Khan looked at Yang Feng.

"I have come to the mortal world this time to put an end to war and spread enlightenment."

Yang Feng said.

"The one who educates is a teacher, and the one who educates the world is a national teacher."

Zhao Bingwen said quickly.

"Well, that does make some sense."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Since that is the case, please ask the Immortal Venerable to be the Grand Yuan State Master to educate the people."

Kublai Khan quickly said with a smile.

Then they both laughed happily.

Zhenjin and others also laughed.

"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor, may the imperial master enjoy eternal blessings and a life as long as the heavens."

Zhao Bingwen shouted excitedly.

"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, may the imperial master enjoy eternal blessings and a life as long as the heavens!"

Then all the surrounding subjects knelt down and shouted at Kublai Khan and Yang Feng.

Of course, it's not over yet.

To be precise, it was just the beginning, after all, at that time the Semites were everywhere.

However, as long as Dadu is cleaned up, Kublai Khan will not have to worry. After all, even if they rebel again, they cannot hurt him.

Kublai Khan then issued an edict, citing the Semu in the capital as a pretext for rebellion and an attempt to storm the imperial palace. He ordered the expulsion of all Semu people, the confiscation of their property, and the execution of those who resisted. He didn't specify where they were to be expelled, as he didn't intend to expel them, and the local tyrants hadn't considered expulsion.

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy...

They will definitely resist, so just kill them all.

As the imperial edict was issued, blood and gore broke out everywhere.

The local tyrants who had been unable to wait and the Mongolian soldiers stationed in various places all excitedly pounced on the Semites who were known for their wealth, like a group of hungry wolves pouncing on fat sheep.

The latter's resistance was pointless, after all, as they were too few in number. The Semu at this time were all genuine Semu, and even at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, their numbers remained limited and scattered. Their role in the Yuan Dynasty was to collect wealth through tax farming, monopolies, lending, and commercial control, amassing wealth for the emperor. While there were many high-ranking Semu officials, they were essentially a small group dependent on imperial power. Without the emperor's protection, local tyrants could easily destroy them. Even at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han Chinese tyrants in Fujian could single-handedly suppress the people within Fujian.

Fujian is already their fastest-growing area.

Even able to control the city.

But it still doesn't work.

The local tyrants led by Chen Youding finally completed the purge of them.

Not to mention that they are just starting to develop.

What's more, in this matter, the Mongolian princes and nobles were more active than local tyrants.

Who doesn’t want to eat fatty meat?
