Chapter 16 The Strong Old Woman
"My son is dead, then I will continue to fight. Now I allow anyone to leave this city because of fear. At the same time, all women and children should leave. If God must die, I hope we can die with dignity."
With the news of King Boabdir's death in battle, with the news of Zhao Fubo's march, the entire capital was in chaos and the rich drove their carts to escape here. Although they could only escape to other cities, they could stay away from the ignition and wait for the old queen's orders in panic. They didn't know what their fate would look like.
In the court of the Alhambra, the ministers were facing the empress dowager sitting on the throne. She had gray temples on her dark face. Looking at the sad ministers, there was a deep despair hidden in her eyes.
"There are not many enemies, only an army of less than 10,000 people, but they are them, they destroyed the elite soldiers of our royal capital. How can we fight? Maybe we should talk to them..."
The old man who was talking, with a black beard with a black beard on his face, spreading his hands out as he was talking, and he kept shaking like a bird's claws. The old queen glanced over his face with a stern gaze, with a coldness in his eyes, and a coldness as if he was dead, as a young man who lost his husband and a child in his old age, he had to face the state of being headless in the whole country and the most powerful monarch in the world. How could she choose
It was just a strong old woman who managed the country after her husband died and resisted the attack of the army of Fernande III, King of the Kingdom of Castile. Although in the European "restoration movement", the Kingdom of Granada lost a lot of land, the old empress dowager still led her subjects to support her hard until her son grew up and could officially assume the position of emperor.
However, a cowardly emperor brought more defeats and more shame. After losing a lot of land, the strength of the Kingdom of Granada became weaker and weaker. If it weren't for the Moors and Berbers in North Africa who were still supporting the Kingdom of Granada, they would have been driven out of the sea by the Spanish.
At this moment, they were not facing the Spanish, but the "Aladdin Emperor" who was famous in the ears of everyone in the Arab Empire. Although they did not understand why the "Aladdin Emperor" wanted to help the Europeans attack them, they knew that if the emperor attacked, it would be a perfect luck for those who could be spared.
Therefore, like the old governor, the surrender argument is the expectation of most people. After all, they are not the governor of Aden or Emperor Louis IX. They are not qualified to confront the "Emperor Aladdin" or even in the hearts of most people, that cannot be called confrontation. That is simply the cruelest massacre. Just imagine, if even the army of the powerful French Kingdom such as Louis IX, and two powerful knights, are not opponents, even the caliph Mustasin of Baghdad, they have to give him enough honor, what qualifications are there to confront him, a small Kingdom of Granada, which does not even have a king?
"Empress Dowager, please think twice. I have heard that 'Emperor Aladdin' has always been merciless to those who disobey his orders, whether it is officials or civilians, if we resist..."
The old governor's words made the Empress Dowager of the Kingdom of Granada dizzy. She didn't understand what happened to the men in front of her? Was it because they were spoiled by their four wives, or was they scared to death when they faced "Emperor Aladdin"? The old empress dowager left her seat angrily. She quickly walked in front of the ministers and walked closer to them and looked at them with eyes.
"You, you are a warrior. Did you tell me to surrender?"
In front of us is the general who dared to fight against King Fernande III of the Kingdom of Castile, although he was defeated, he never lowered his head. Today, when the old empress dowager saw him, his eyes hid to the side.
Yes, how could he face the questioning of a mother who had lost her son? Can he really surrender? But when the news came from the Egyptian Kingdom in the past, whenever the "Emperor Aladdin" passed, only those who crawled and surrendered could survive, and the rest would be killed.
This is also a good thing that is not going out. In fact, it is just the iron-blooded method that Muke used to clean up Muslims who are not obeying discipline for King Baibours Bendugadali. But after such a long distance, it became a proof of Zhao Fubo's cruelty
In fact, he sold people as slaves more often, and killed them less often, except for some so-called "religious extremists". The fact that a command was a corpse everywhere proved that when facing massacre, they were just cowards and cowards. The same sentence is still the same. No matter what kind of beliefs or the absolute technological gap, they have no effect.
Looking at the appearance of the general protecting the country in front of her, the old empress dowager turned her face with heartache, and her wrinkled face was covered with silent tears. For a moment, her head was raised high and she lowered her head. She bent her waist and walked towards her throne with extreme sadness. The crisp footsteps rang on the printed floor, and in the entire quiet hall, it was like a heavy drum beat on the hearts of all the ministers.
Almost all the ministers lowered their heads. They felt that they had no face to face this strong old woman. They were all men who stood upright when such foreign enemies invaded, they were solemn, like panic children. This is of course a trampling on the dignity of men, and it is something that makes all men unable to bear it, especially after the following incident happened.
The old empress dowager walked to the throne, she stopped her steps, slowly turned around, suddenly, her knees softened and fell to the ground. The sound of a desolate and sharp sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
