Section 1123 Slaughter of pigs in Damascus
What a Camille Pasha, the reaction can be called a god's speed, and he runs away immediately!
Don't forget to sweep 200,000 silver dollars--- he sent 100,000 silver dollars to his subordinates, and he pocketed 200,000 silver dollars safely, as well as gifts from the rich people in the city, along with two beauties, packed away.
Inform his troops, concentrate outside the city.
And his troops are also born and matured, and even his military order has not arrived, it has been packed, and as soon as the order arrives, it is just leaving, seamless and efficient!
When he arrived outside the city, Camille Pasha counted a little, and saw that there were 8,000 cavalry, so he didn't wait any longer, and ordered to open a dial and turn towards the valley of the two rivers!
If he returned to Istanbul, he would definitely die, and when he arrived in the valley of the two rivers, he had an army in his hands, so he didn't have to worry about his fate at all.
He was a runaway general, but his keen eye was superhuman, and he thought that there was something between the Chinese and the Ottoman Empire, and during this period, the Ottoman Empire had to entrap him.
His escape could have pitted the governor of Damascus, Adifu Pasha, and because he had relied on Camille Pasha and entrusted him with the important defense of the city, Aquafo Pasha temporarily put his mind at ease, and he gave Camille Pasha two of his maids, and he himself married a thirteen-year-old beautiful girl in the city at the age of fifty-two, to suppress the shock!
The rich people in the city cursed in their hearts, but they had to pinch their noses and give gifts to fill Adevo Pasha's shriveled wallet.
Adevo Pasha was so happy in his heart that he feasted that night, tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep with the little beauty in his arms until late at night.
Therefore, at dawn, when the Chinese entered the city, Adufu Pasha, who had soft feet and crisp waists, could not get up for a long time.
"What about Camille Pasha? What's he doing? Tell him to resist the infidels! Adev Pasha cried out frantically.
"He? He's already on the run! Someone else told him.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! With his eyes straight and he gasped, he angrily ordered his servants to quickly pack up and have him carried into the carriage and flee at once.
He had a lot of money, only part of the gold he fled, the convoy left the official residence in a hurry, and on the street, only one word can be used to describe "chaos"!
Most families closed their doors, a few fled and the streets collided with each other, shouting and shouting in support.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Adev Pasha ordered his attendants to draw their swords and slash a few of them, and the people were forced to get out of the way.
But before he had walked ten minutes, the sound of earth-shattering iron hooves came from behind, getting closer and closer, and frightened Adev Pasha and shouted: "Run, run!" ”
Escape, you can be faster than a war horse!
In a few moments, the Chinese cavalry rushed in like a whirlwind, all wearing steel helmets and light armor, and they looked very brave, and pointed their muskets at the carriage of Adifu Pasha, and surrounded the convoy!
Someone shouted sharply in Turkish: "Surrender, or die!" ”
"Peng!" Another shot was fired into the air.
Seeing that there were Chinese cavalry in the car, he could only resign himself to his fate: "Surrender!" ”
……
When Zukaffa entered Damascus, 80% of the city fell into the hands of the Southeastern Army, and the cavalry was on duty with the tribes with white towels on their arms!
There were also some Ottomans who resisted, but they fought on their own and could not make it to the climate.
With great speed, Zukaffa bulldozed Damascus in waves, first controlling the upper part of Damascus, where the rich and high-ranking officials were concentrated.
So far, it's going well!
The troops have taken control of the territory, and the key is that the harvest is huge!
Damascus is a key city!
Damascus was built on the ancient pagoda oasis at the land fork of the Silk Road, facing the Lebanese Mountains, between the Lebanese Mountains and the Syrian Desert.
Both the Webas and the Genevans came here to join the traveling caravan. In the 15th century B.C., Damascus was recorded as a religious, political, and trade center in history, and enjoyed the title of "If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus will be in it, and if there is a sky in heaven, Damascus will be as famous as it." ”
Since the 16th century AD fell into the hands of the Ottomans, the long-term peace has allowed Damascus to enter a period of affluence, because Damascus connects Europe and China at home and abroad, trade, the city's handicraft industry is developed, wealth is constantly accumulating, the city's rich are extremely luxurious, although because of the capture of the city of Kailuo and a part of the expenditure, but only on the iceberg in the sea, and the wealth under the iceberg has not lost much at all.
The powerful and the rich are intertwined, and the war only makes them richer, while the country and the people are getting poorer!
For example, in normal times, they can't collect taxes casually, but when the war is together, the state says that it will collect more than 10% of the tax, and they will add it on top of this, is there less such a thing?
The "better" officials will receive an additional 20%, and the more ruthless officials will simply receive 30%!
What can the people do? The entire state power is controlled by the powerful, and the officials protect each other, and there is no way to complain.
The more wars fought, the richer the officials became, and the richer the rich people who had a relationship with them became, and a weapon was originally sold for only one silver coin, and they could sell it for ten silver coins for the state to order!
And the ill-gotten gains, together with the wealth accumulated over several lifetimes, are stored in Damascus, and the rich people did not expect the Ottoman army to be defeated, and the southeastern army was killed with lightning speed, only a small number of broadmen escaped and left with their wealth, and most of the wealth was wiped out by the southeastern army!
Raid the Damascus giants!
Even if those wealthy families resisted, there were muskets and strong families, even as many as a thousand, but in front of the formed troops, they were all crushed.
Those who dare to resist will be killed!
The Southeast Army has long had information, and all of them know where the rich man lives, and he has a target, and he has seized his family and property, and he has all hits.
Blockade of families, torture, search for wealth, under Miki, there is nothing that cannot be obtained.
The gold, silver, bronze, jewelry, precious silk, carpets, porcelain, and so on were counted as high as 16 million silver dollars!
It is worthy of the gold belt of murder and arson, and after making this vote, the southeast country sent troops to the Middle East, and it actually returned to its roots.
The richness of Damascus is beyond the imagination of many people, and those wealthy families are hidden deeply, and they are all cheaper than the Chinese, so that Zukefa's heart trembles violently.
Seeing the gold, silver, and jewels in the treasury with chests and baskets, Zu Ke made a surprise and ordered his troops to take only an average of twenty silver dollars per person, which was enough!
The rest of the wealth was handed over, and he sternly ordered that no one should hide it privately, and that everything should be distributed after it was returned to the public.
According to the system, the seized wealth was divided in half, half to the state, and half to the army itself, but the amount of wealth was so huge that Zu Kefa only took a million silver dollars for his army, and he was not lost, and he was sober-minded, so well received!
