Chapter 312 Hot Yam
After the war, almost everyone was happy, including the cavalry from the eastern cities and the subordinates of the little Ashlever City Lord.
The soldiers collected from the eastern cities were captured and there was no confrontation. They could join the Arab legion as civilians, or become new civilians in the city of Aden, and each person was sent with one gold coin. Those who became soldiers had surprises and secretly called those who left as "fools".
"Look at the amount of military pay, you can't touch anywhere in the entire Arab Empire!"
As for the soldiers of the western cities, they became slaves because of resistance. But Muke, who was speaking on the stage at this time, was making them cheer.
"Cut one head and one Dilkhan!"
When the slaves heard the order to "behead", they cheered one by one. There were about hundreds of heads that needed them to cut. They were all officers in the army of the lords of the city in the western region, including themselves. They even knew before their death that most of their families had become slaves or had completely cut off their ties with them.
For example, Ofal, who now occupies the ancient city of Zabid, said very clearly that he would be loyal to Zhao Fubo, and that his rebellious father would become his enemy. If it fell into his hands, he would chop his head without hesitation.
Compared with what Muke announced, what Juliana announced was more popular with soldiers.
"Whether soldiers and slaves, everyone has wine and meat tonight. Except for those on duty, they can basically manage it!"
Although the soldiers of the Aden province did not know what "wine" was. But when there was enough meat, they had not eaten meat for a long time and had not eaten meat.
Amid the cheers, a group of slaves escorted the old officers and the city lords to the broken platform before they showed up in front of Zhao Fubo. It was in front of the so-called central army in front of the tent.
All the officers and those who had fought against the fleet of the Little Ashlefford City Lord's fleet with Pu Jinshu on Thira Island, and the wealthy businessmen from Aden City. In their hearts, they had to thank the island master. If it weren't for him, they would have to stay at home and be robbed and extorted by the officers under the Little Ashlefford City Lord.
At this moment, outside Zhao Fubo's tent, some singers and dancers were happily twisting their bodies with the accompaniment of hand drums and other musical instruments, and the flowing mat was constantly being sent up. Just like Zhao Fubo and his friends did in Hededa City, the food here was also "hot pot".
The advantage is that it is simple, cheap, and it is also the latest and most amazing thing in the entire Arab Empire. The mutton hotpot in fresh fish soup has to be said to be the Chinese word "fresh" that is really vivid.
The little Ashleff City Lord lowered his head, his hands tied behind him. He dragged his Mamluk slave and shouted loudly from time to time. Along the way, the little Ashleff City Lord lowered his head as if he was appointed until he saw Zhao Fubo and the people around him.
"You...you old bastard...it turns out...it turns out you've been lying to me..."
The little city lord Ashleff struggled, desperately trying to break free from the powerful hands of the Mamluk cavalry who was holding him. The other people who were about to beheaded also became restless. They twisted their bodies desperately and cursed at the people around them.
Sitting next to Zhao Fubo was the old financial officer. Although Zhao Fubo did not intend to appoint any administrative officials, he still received many promises. For example, Zhao Fubo would not pursue their defection anymore, nor would he pursue the later service of Lord Ashleff, and now he would also ensure their property safety and the right to be free to move at any time.
The angry Lord Ashlefford couldn't help but make the old financial officer who was sitting there and just started to taste wine red. After all, he had been betrayed several times since Zhao Fubo occupied the Aden Fortress. Therefore, when facing the anger of Lord Ashlefford, he couldn't help but have an awkward expression on his face.
"Take it away and execute it now!"
Zhao Fubo waved his hand, and the slaves brought the numerous city lords of the western cities of Aden Province, as well as the officers who surrendered too late. With some bitterness, the old financial officer watched him away, and the little city lord Ashleff was scolded by the slaves and pushed him.
"In their hearts, I don't know if they are still blaming me for their surrender, but if I don't have this credit, I'm afraid..."
His eyes quietly glanced at Zhao Fubo, as if he had no shadow in his heart about the person he had just killed. At this time, he held up his wine glass and kept asking people to drink. This reaction made the old financial officer tell himself secretly in his heart.
"This is a cruel and ruthless young man. You can probably tell what kind of person he is just by looking at his way without leaving an opponent! But, is there a chance to save them? After all..."
After all, the old financial officer has served the Ashleff family for decades, and his father is also in the Aden province. So now, when the Aden province is completely occupied by the other party, can he do something?
Thinking of this in my mind, the old financial officer picked up a glass of wine and tried to toast Zhao Fubo.
"On the Island Lord, you have brought a new life to the people of Aden. On behalf of the people, I sincerely thank you!"
Zhao Fubo had just met with the wine-gooded Saffwan and turned around and encountered his invitation. As an old-fashioned official who surrendered, the old financial officer in front of him had the greatest contribution. After all, Zhao Fubo had to give him more face.
"No need to thank me, I want to thank you, especially I want to thank you!"
At this time, sitting not far beside Zhao Fubo was Gong Zi, a great hero in the Battle of Aden. She led the weak brigade, and with the strategy of embroidering shoes, the army of the Little Ashleffor City Lord not only sighed at the city but also felt panic. If it weren't for her plan, how could Zhao Fubo easily deal with the Little Ashleffor's army!
When the old financial officer started to toast Zhao Fubo, her pair of peach-blossom eyes had already seen through the old financial officer's thoughts. Because she also picked up the wine glass and made a look of fun.
"I'll join in the fun too. Old sir, I think we wouldn't have caught the little Lord Ashleff and his men so easily if it weren't for you. But I don't think our island lord would spare them. After all, the reason we came here was that his brother Governor Ashleff first captured our people. We have always been merciless to such a greedy enemy!"
Gong Zi's reminder immediately made Zhao Fubo understand the old financial officer's meaning. He nodded slowly and explained his thoughts to the old financial officer.
"Look at the old man, we don't have many soldiers on the island of Felekay. What we want to do most is to do business, and we want to do business all over the world. Unfortunately, some people don't have the ability to watch others jealous. The person who kidnapped us also plans to ask us to give him benefits... Humph, we are not unreasonable people, but since the cause is not on us, this matter will not be good anyway!"
After Zhao Fubo said this, he blocked the old financial officer's mouth with a glass of retaliation wine. However, the old financial officer's heart was not without ideas.
"This island master Zhao treats civilians well. But treats the Governor's family... Alas, no one else's fault. If it were at the beginning... but talking about greed... This island master occupied the entire province of Aden because of this small matter. Although his military force is sharp, he is a little invincible!"
Naturally, the old financial officer had an old-fashioned idea. He thought that Zhao Fubo's methods here were like other ambitious people like Arab governors, and he would start scraping the ground after occupying a certain place. He also claimed to be a king or something.
But this does not meet the plans discussed by Zhao Fubo and Martin. For their master and apprentice, there is probably no important place in the Aden Fortress and the Port of Aden. In addition, other cities in the Aden province are just to defeat the Ashleff family.
After the war ended, Zhao Fubo naturally would not have adopted the traditional occupation method. Unfortunately, due to various changes, the idea that the current city lords were autonomous and paid a certain amount of taxes was the first to be prepared, because Zhao Fubo and his subordinates almost killed all the city lords and could not be implemented.
After eating hot pot, Zhao Fubo and his party rode back to the Aden Fortress. As the temporary governor of the Aden province, Zhao Fubo really had a headache about this land. Even if Martin kept educating newcomers, it was not enough to manage a province.
"Oh, Sister Gong, this Aden province is like a hot yam to us. We only need to trade this place. It's a waste of trouble if we occupy it, but who do we use to manage it?"
Gong Zi gave Zhao Fubo a white look, annoyed that he was a guy with no ambitions.
"What are you afraid of? The soldiers come to block the water and come to the Tutou. And Teacher Martin will come here in a few days. Everyone will discuss it at that time. I don't believe that no one in the big province of Aden would want it. Why don't you want it? Take care of it for me, I won't bother you!"
Gong Zi's mouth is unforgivable, Zhao Fubo knows this. However, Gong Zi often gives him some advice at this time. He just gave him some advice.
"Ah, I don't want such a big place so many people want. And Teacher Martin came in two days. Then I will discuss what is the method to do, and what is the method to do if it is necessary!"
After understanding this, Zhao Fubo then threw this matter aside. But what he didn't know was that this was the best experimental field.
And his future will also undergo tremendous changes due to such experiments.
