Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Although there were also many unemployed vagrants among the Tangut people

However, the Han people are better at cultivating the land.

During the Western Xia Dynasty,

They are the powerful and wealthy.

It can own a large amount of land.

The Western Xia dynasty is gone now.

They naturally knew that the Great Liang would not allow them to possess that much land.

Even if they were the first to surrender to the Liang Dynasty

However, in the end, only a minority of people will be able to retain all the land.

Therefore, everyone wants to be in the minority.

They all chimed in, pledging their loyalty.

Explain your role.

In short, they can help the Liang Dynasty appease the Tangut people of Huai Prefecture.

This will make it easier for Daliang to govern Huaizhou.

As everyone was eager to speak,

Seeing that the Great King of Liang frowned slightly,

They quickly quieted down.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Then please help appease the people."

"Our army will arrive in a day or two,"

"At that time, I will send troops to take over Huaizhou."

"Appeasing the people is optional,"

"Those who were unwilling to submit to my Great Liang must have already fled."

"Those who remain, as long as I, Da Liang, do not mistreat them,"

"They naturally won't cause trouble."

The powerful Tangut nobles of Huai Prefecture never expected that the King of Liang would see through their scheme so easily.

They dared not deny it.

Zhao Yuan observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

Knowing that quite a few people had fled, he added,

"If you want to achieve merit,"

"Then he summoned the troops from all the various units,"

"Fight for my Great Liang."

"As long as you gain merit in battle,"

"The imperial court will not skimp on your rewards."

"For you Tanguts,"

"Compared to farming and herding, it is easier to reap rewards from war."

As soon as the words fell,

Immediately someone said,

"I am willing to gather my people,"

"To fight alongside the King."

The others hesitated for a moment,

They all echoed this sentiment.

As long as it's not fighting against the Liang army, which has firearms and crossbows...

They are not lacking in courage.

Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Pointing to the first person to speak,

"what's your name?"

This was the first time Zhao Yuan had asked the names of the people from Huai Prefecture.

Tangut names are difficult to pronounce.

Zhao Yuan, however, was unwilling to ask further.

Even if you ask, I can't remember everything.

The man hurriedly and respectfully replied.

“The petty person carefully appreciates the buried cloth.”

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "You will be in charge of the conscription in Huai Prefecture."

"I'll give you two days to assemble an army,"

"Temporarily in charge of the defense of Huaizhou."

A close examination of the buried cloth reveals the weighty responsibility involved.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed,

"Thank you for your promotion, Your Majesty."

Other Tanguts were the first to respond after carefully observing the buried cloth.

And thus he received such benefits.

They were filled with regret.

Zhao Yuan ordered the people of Huaizhou to step aside.

And then there was the group of bald-headed nobles of Xingqing Prefecture.

What can you do for the Great Liang?

Everyone in Xingqing Prefecture was envious and carefully admired the buried cloth.

They all rushed to say they were willing to form an army.

Zhao Yuan noticed that only the elderly man at the front hadn't spoken up.

He couldn't help but point at this person and say,

"Is there nothing you can do?"

Rendo Bochū had harbored the intention to defect to the Song Dynasty since his early years.

It's just that Cai Jing was careless in his work.

Li Qianshun was ordered to arrest the messenger.

Ren Duobaozhong was also dismissed from his military post by Li Qianshun.

They were moved to Xingqing Prefecture for supervision.

King Liang decisively defeated the armies of Cha Ge and Li Qianshun.

They also launched a surprise attack on Xingqing Prefecture.

Rendo Baozhong then knew that the Western Xia was doomed.

He had long ago devised a way to regain power.

They also disdain competing with others to gain an advantage.

When the king asked, he bowed respectfully.

"The humble Ren Duo Bao Zhong once served as the commander of the Zhuo Luo and Southern Army."

"Commander of the southwestern tribes."

"Although he was dismissed from office by Li Qianshun many years ago,"

"However, Zhuoluo and Nanjunsi are still under the control of my Renduo family."

"If Your Majesty trusts me,"

"I can go and persuade the Zhuoluo and the various tribes of the Southern Army to surrender,"

"Then he lobbied the military commanders of Gansu and Xishoubaotai."

Chapter 1924 Want to Improve?

Zhao Yuan also recalled Zhong Shidao's words: "Benevolence ensures loyalty."

Upon hearing that Rendo Baozhong possessed such abilities,

"Very well, if you can persuade Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Commander to surrender,"

"I will then grant you a baronship,"

"You can also command the troops of Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Command."

"If we could persuade the other two military commanders to surrender,"

"I will grant you the title of viscount."

Ren Duobaozhong was also unaware of the hierarchy of these noble titles in Daliang.

But he was already satisfied to hear that he could command the troops of Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Command, and bowed, saying...

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"I will now depart for Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Commandery,"

"News will surely come back within twenty days."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "No rush."

"It's almost noon,"

“I have already arranged a banquet,”

"It's not too late to prepare after everyone has eaten."

The group quickly thanked the king for the banquet.

Seeing that the rest of the people from Xingqing Prefecture were still staring expectantly, Zhao Yuan said,

"Whoever recruits the troops shall lead them."

"Rewards will be given after meritorious service."

When the crowd heard that the king would not bestow official titles,

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, the troops they recruited were led by them.

That's equivalent to giving them military power.

It will not be difficult to obtain an official position after gaining military merits.

A bald, fat man spoke fluent Mandarin,

"I am willing to offer money and provisions to the army."

Although the Great Liang had captured Xingqing Prefecture,

However, they did not receive much food or supplies.

More than half of the Western Xia territory was desert.

Only the Yinchuan Plain is suitable for cultivation.
