Chapter 293: Yu Shanshan ruled the entire Arab Empire, and the former emperor, the Caliph, was behea
With the Prophet dead, Yu Shanshan immediately outlawed Islam within the holy shrines. All religious leaders within the shrines were executed. Those who agreed to renounce their faith were allowed to return home, while those who refused were all killed. Later, Yu Shanshan's female soldiers, led by Su Mei and Sharla, oversaw the conversion. Those who disobeyed or attempted resistance were killed on the spot! The source of the religious leaders' persecution of their opponents was completely severed. Without the support of their fundamental source, they could no longer form formations or wield spells to persecute the enemy. Yu Shanshan completely eradicated the very existence of the Prophet of Islam and his religious priests, who had aided and abetted the evil, completely cutting off their chances of a comeback. After all, this was all part of a profound conspiracy orchestrated by the great Chinese nation. Faced with the powerful military and the crimes of the Prophet, the Archbishop, and others, the Arabs had no recourse but to accept the outcome. Simultaneously, the exiled Arab emperor was deposed.
Yu Shanshan named herself General Shenwei and temporarily took charge of all military and political power in the Arab world. Of course, Yu Shanshan also reported this to King Qi Liu Yuan and Empress Liu Qian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the support of me, the Censor, the edict of Empress Liu Qian and the decree of King Qi Liu Yuan officially appointed Yu Shanshan as General Shenwei, a first-rank official, with full authority to take charge of all affairs of the former Arab Empire, and the Arab Empire and its vassal states were incorporated into Yu Shanshan's territory. Yu Shanshan had the right to collect taxes and appoint officials, while Liu Jing and Parposa were sent to other areas to fight, while the other female generals stayed to assist Yu Shanshan in managing the vast old territory of the Arab Empire. Yu Shanshan was also able to expand her female soldier unit and obtained the quota of weapons and equipment for 30,000 female soldiers from King Liu Yuan of Qi, which allowed her to equip a full 30,000 female soldier unit. Although only one brigade (1,250 people) can now defeat 50,000 to 100,000 old-style cavalry infantry, Yu Shanshan's kung fu is now the best at that time. She can help her female soldiers and generals to improve their realm at any time. This amazing way of winning people's hearts is irreplaceable. Therefore, not only are there a large number of female warriors in the former Western Regions and South Asia who are willing to join Yu Shanshan's expanded female soldier unit, but even some famous female knights in the Great Zhou are willing to join as volunteers in order to obtain a double harvest of kung fu and military exploits. Yu Shanshan will naturally not let them down!
Yu Shanshan, clad in battle armor, looks heroic, her eyes revealing determination and confidence. She has now been named General Shenwei, an honor that brings with it a heavy sense of responsibility.
Prince of Qi Liu Yuan and Empress Liu Qian of the Great Zhou Dynasty highly recognized and supported Shanshan's appointment. Empress Liu Qian's edict and Prince of Qi Liu Yuan's decree officially conferred the title of General Shenwei on Shanshan, a position of the highest rank, which meant that she possessed supreme power and status.
Yu Shanshan, fully aware of her mission, resolved to devote her utmost to managing the vast territory of the former Arab Empire. She began actively recruiting female soldiers to expand her army. Her fame had already spread throughout the Western Regions and South Asia, and upon hearing of Yu Shanshan's recruitment, many female warriors came forward to sign up.
Yu Shanshan personally evaluates each applicant, focusing not only on their martial arts skills but also their moral character and loyalty. She hopes that her female soldiers will not only possess strong combat capabilities but also noble moral character and team spirit.
On the training grounds, Yu Shanshan personally guides the female soldiers. A master of martial arts, each of her movements is imbued with power and skill. She patiently corrects the soldiers' mistakes and encourages them to continually push their limits.
Yu Shanshan's female soldiers gradually grew stronger, and their equipment also received strong support from Qi Wang Liu Yuan. The 30,000 female soldiers were equipped with the most advanced weapons, which made their combat effectiveness even higher.
Yu Shanshan also excelled at using psychological tactics. She understood the importance of winning over the hearts and minds of her troops. She frequently engaged with the female soldiers, understanding their needs and perspectives. She cared deeply about the lives of each soldier, offering them warmth and care, earning them unwavering loyalty.
On the battlefield, Yu Shanshan led the charge, her courage and wisdom inspiring every female soldier, energizing them. Working closely together, they fought ten enemies at once, demonstrating formidable combat effectiveness.
Yu Shanshan's success lies not only in her military prowess but also in her personal charm. She has earned the respect and trust of the female soldiers, becoming their idol and role model. Under her leadership, the female soldiers' unit is poised to achieve even greater success.
Across the vast expanse of land, Yu Shanshan embarks on a thrilling, nationwide manhunt for the once-powerful Caliph, the emperor of the Arab Empire. This pursuit, like a tightly wound net, gradually closes in, ultimately forcing the Caliph into a desperate situation.
At this critical moment, the well-trained and fearless subordinates of the former Egyptian Queen Aisha, who were familiar with the Arab emperor's personal guards, set a trap to entrap the noble emperor, successfully captured the Caliph, and quickly escorted him to Baghdad, a city with a long history and full of mystery.
With the Caliph escorted to Baghdad, Yu Shanshan made a decisive decision: to designate Baghdad and Jerusalem as the respective capitals of her two general offices. These two cities, like two shimmering pearls, shone with unique brilliance. Their status, similar to that of the Western Capital and the Eastern Capital, complemented each other, supporting Yu Shanshan's vast empire.
In this way, Yu Shanshan was able to freely shuttle between the two places, leveraging her exceptional ability and wisdom to carry out effective governance. She would alternately handle government affairs and formulate strategies in Baghdad, while at other times, she would travel to Jerusalem to observe public sentiment and appease the people. This flexible and efficient management style ensured the stability of her rule and her reputation spread far and wide.
Today, at the entrance of Baghdad's magnificent cathedral, a huge crowd gathered, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Everyone was eagerly waiting, because a shocking ceremony was about to take place there - Yu Shanshan would personally behead the once-invincible Arab emperor, the Caliph!
Yu Shanshan stood before the Caliph, her face expressionless but tinged with murderous intent. She drew the long sword from her waist, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. The Caliph was tied to a pillar, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
Yu Shanshan slowly approached, her long knife gently slashing across the Caliph's cheek, leaving a bloody mark. "This is the price you pay for killing innocent people," she said coldly. Then, like a nimble snake, her knife slashed away at the Caliph's flesh piece by piece, with precise and brutal precision. Some of the surrounding people couldn't bear to watch, but many cheered, having suffered so much at the hands of the Caliph.
Each of Yu Shanshan's cuts was steady and powerful, as if venting a long-held anger. The Caliph's screams echoed in the air, but Yu Shanshan remained unmoved.
Yu Shanshan could not help but recall the brutal torture she endured in Nishapur Musali. She was tortured to death by salt water and chili oil, wailing and begging for mercy, hoping for a quick death.
At that moment, she felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing her body simultaneously. The excruciating pain made it nearly impossible to breathe. The world before her suddenly turned pitch black, as if the entire universe were collapsing in an instant. Her consciousness was forcibly ripped away by an invisible hand, and she collapsed to the ground.
Musalis watched all this with an expressionless gaze, cold and heartless, as if he were looking at a worthless object. He waved his hand gently, signaling his assistant to act. Without hesitation, the assistant fetched a basin of icy water. The water, shimmering in the frigid air, seemed like ice from hell.
Without hesitation, the assistant poured the basin of ice water fiercely onto her bare chest and abdomen. The moment the water made contact with her skin, her body shuddered violently, a piercing chill instantly spreading through her body. Her teeth began to chatter uncontrollably, and her lips turned purple, but her consciousness gradually regained consciousness under the stimulation of the cold.
However, before she could fully recover, Musali gave another order. This time, his assistant picked up a bowl of red, pungent chili oil. The chili oil looked like the devil's blood and emitted a sickening odor.
The assistant poured chili oil onto her hands and began rubbing the wounds from the torture. Each rub felt like salt being poured onto the wounds. Waves of intense pain surged over her like a tide, and her body began to convulse uncontrollably. She tried to grit her teeth to stifle a moan, but the pain was too intense, and she ultimately let out a shrill scream.
She repeatedly fainted from the unbearable pain, only to be awakened each time by the merciless splash of icy water. The water was like a sharp sword, piercing her body again and again, doubling her pain. Although she was usually strong and brave, a wonder woman, facing such brutal torture, her body and will gradually collapsed.
Her face turned pale as paper, beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her lips were bitten, blood trickling down the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were filled with despair and pain, as if she had lost all hope. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if she were fighting a final struggle against death.
At first, she could grit her teeth, endure it, and try not to make any sound. Only when the pain reached its peak could she scream. However, as time went on, the continuous and increasingly intense pain was like a demon, bit by bit devouring her last bit of resistance.
Finally, her mental defenses completely collapsed. She could no longer endure the torture, which felt like ripping flesh and bones. A shrill wail echoed throughout the room. The sound was filled with despair and terror, chilling the very hearing. The crowd watching below was also terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.
Time passed, her voice becoming hoarse from the prolonged screaming. She could no longer scream, and could only toss and turn, uttering faint wails. Gradually, even the strength to wail faded, leaving only heavy gasps and painful groans.
At first, she struggled, but because her hands and feet were nailed shut, she could only twist her waist and move her head. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, like surging waves. Eventually, she was no longer able to struggle. As the knife struck her, her head tilted back, her muscles trembling. As she passed out from the pain, her head drooped. Then, her breath gradually faded, and only the twitching of her muscles proved she was still alive.
Just like that, this once valiant general, whose martial arts were considered the best in the world by these Arabs, lowered her head, her wet black hair falling forward, covering her beautiful face, which was now distorted by pain. Her breathing had gone from heavy to weak, and her will had been destroyed by this cruel torture. She could no longer resist and could only pray softly, hoping for a quick death.
She lowered her head, her wet black hair falling forward, covering her beautiful face that was distorted by pain. Her lips trembled slightly, and she made a low and weak sound.
"God, please have mercy on me. I have suffered too much pain and can't bear it anymore." Her voice revealed endless sadness and despair.
"Let me die quickly and end this endless torture. I would rather die than suffer this cruel torture anymore." Her eyes were full of desire for death, as if only death could free her from this pain.
Her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain at all. Her body was trembling slightly, like a leaf in the wind, ready to fall at any moment.
"Please set me free and let my soul rest in peace. I no longer ask for anything, I just hope that all this can end." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into a faint murmur.
At that moment, her inner world completely collapsed! The brutal torture was like a terrible storm, ruthlessly crushing her will, shattering it into a pile of fragments. She had once been that high-spirited, heroic, and supremely skilled female general! But now, all that glory and brilliance had vanished, replaced by endless pain and despair.
Even before she used salt water and pepper spray, the Caliph was already wailing for mercy. However, Yu Shanshan showed no mercy and continued to cut the Caliph's flesh, knife after knife! This was also a response to Musali's actions. After all, this slow slicing was ordered by the Caliph, so now Yu Shanshan was just fighting back!
Finally, the Caliph died, and Yu Shanshan sheathed her blood-stained sword. Turning to the people, she declared, "From this moment on, this land will be reborn, free from the tyranny of tyranny." The crowd erupted in thunderous applause. Led by Yu Shanshan, they firmly believed in a hopeful future.
At this time, I also came to Baghdad, met with Yu Shanshan and had tea with her, and told her about the subsequent system tasks and the ruling plan of the Great Zhou Empire.
