After lunch in the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang took the generals and officials into the city, and the marshal Xingyuan also moved to the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The people knelt on the side of the street, and some bold people looked up and secretly observed Zhao Ziliang and the generals and officials of the Western Qin Army behind them, and the timid people did not dare to raise their heads, and lowered their heads and trembled, lest the Western Qin Army be unfavorable to them.

Many houses in the city were planted with the national flag of Western Qin on their roofs, and many houses were hit by fire oil bombs during the siege of the city by trebuchets in the morning, and the fire had not yet been extinguished, and black smoke was rising everywhere.

Soon, Zhao Ziliang and the generals and officials came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, at this time, many wealthy merchants of the city wearing silk and satin had gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and many Western Qin soldiers and servants were standing guard around them.

Vahid and Schneider, the generals of the servant army, took these wealthy businessmen to salute Zhao Ziliang together, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Wahid, Schneider, who are these people?" What are you doing here? ”

Wahid hurriedly said: "Wise and wise Your Majesty, these people are all local rich merchants and nobles in this city, if this city is already under the rule of Your Majesty, of course these people will come to meet you, the conqueror and ruler, they hope that Your Majesty can receive them, and want to know the attitude of Your Majesty and the Western Qin State towards them, after all, this is related to their net worth and life, they have to come to talk to Your Majesty!" ”

"Let them all get up! Tell them that the king will meet them later, and let them wait outside now, and not make any noise! ”

Vahid hurriedly agreed: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately dismounted and led the generals and officials into the city lord's mansion in turn, and Wahid and Schneider also followed in after explaining to the rich merchants and nobles.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat and took the tea brought by a eunuch and drank it, and the other generals and officials stood on both sides according to the difference between civil and military.

All the results and conditions of the battle were sent to Du Fu in advance to summarize, Du Fu stood up with a fluorene board and bowed to Zhao Ziliang and reported: "King, the results and losses of this battle have been counted, the main general of the Great Food Army, Zilz, was injured in the process of breaking through and was captured by our army, he has been sent to the mosque in the city, and there are soldiers to guard and medical officers to diagnose and treat." Our army killed more than 600 people from 8,000 people, captured more than 21,000 soldiers, captured more than 5,000 horses, 800 camels, more than 3,000 cattle and sheep, and food and other ordnance materials have not yet been counted. More than 4,000 of our servants were killed, six chariots were damaged, three trebuchets were damaged, and one hundred and sixty-two soldiers of our Western Qin Army were killed and twenty-nine wounded! ”

After listening to this, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, count the specific amount of seized income as soon as possible!" ”

Du Fu promised: "Yes, Wechen will arrange manpower to count the seizures as soon as possible."

Zhao Ziliang said to the generals again: "Wang Can, the investigation of Kerman must continue, and we must not relax!" This is the territory of the Great Cannibals, not our country, if the Great Food Army of Kerman wants to come, there is not only one way to go, they can attack here through the Lute Desert or attack Zaheidan and Jiling City, we must not only prevent them from sneaking up on our army, but also prevent them from sending troops to cut off our army's retreat and grain route! Therefore, it is extremely important to closely monitor the Great Food Army in various places! At the same time, it is also necessary to collect the battle situation of the Fifth Army in the North in time! ”

Wang Can stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, the king has ordered the secret agents below to be vigilant. Just now I received the news from the north that the 5th Army Corps came from the north, the 20,000 horses of Flower Thorn Zim and Oghuz are attacking the Guchang City area, and the Great Food Army of Guchang City went out of the city to meet the battle, and the two sides fought several battles on the banks of the Atrak River, and they won and lost each other, and the losses were comparable, but due to the unified command of our generals, Flower Thorn Zimo and the Oghuz Army took advantage of it slightly! ”

Afterwards, the Great Food Army retreated into the city to defend it. The Flower Army and the Ukrainian Army are approaching Guchang City, and Kurkure is currently recruiting soldiers near Guchang City and Mashad to prepare to organize a siege, and the Third Army is hiding near the Karaku Canal Corridor to monitor the Great Food Army of Mulu City, and will launch an operation as soon as they have signs of reinforcing Guchang City and Mashad City! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, tell Wei Meng, be smart, don't be tricked by the big cannibal!" ”

"Yes!"

Next, Zhao Ziliang assigned the generals on duty, patrol, sentry, prisoner detention and reorganization tasks, the generals left after receiving their tasks, and the officials in charge of various affairs also left to find a room in the palace to find an office and arrange the affairs they were responsible for.

There were only a limited number of people left in the lobby, and Zhao Ziliang instructed Liu Dan: "There are some local mansions and nobles outside, you send someone to bring them in!" ”

"No!" Liu Shan agreed and immediately arranged it.

A large group of wealthy businessmen soon came to the lobby and paid homage to Zhao Ziliang according to the Central Plains etiquette that they were not very familiar with, and Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "Let's all be flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ceremonial actions of these wealthy merchants in the Central Plains look a little funny.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Why did you come to see this king?" ”

The wealthy merchants and nobles looked at each other, and an old man who looked very thin stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty who is wise and martial, Shuergaz City is already the world of Western Qin, Your Majesty is already the supreme lord here, from now on all the subjects here will live under your rule, we are the representatives of many subjects in Shuergaz City, we have come to see Your Majesty is our obligation as subjects, and at the same time we will fulfill other obligations as subjects, we are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, It's just that we are a little afraid of what changes will be made here by the Western Qin generals! ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered how to rule the occupied territory, which made these wealthy merchants and nobles even more frightened, and the time spent on his thinking and weighing was a torment for these people.

After a while, Zhao Ziliang asked the wealthy merchants and magnates, "Do you remember the Persian state?" ”

The rich merchants and magnates were stunned for a moment, and the thin old man just now said, "Yes, Your Majesty! More than a hundred years ago, this was the Persian state, the prophet and the four caliphs unified the interior of the Great Cannibal, and began to spread the teachings and glory of Allah Allah to the surrounding areas, and launched holy wars around, and the Persian State was destroyed in this context, and then the Umayyad dynasty continued to expand its territory, so that there was the current Great Food Country, until the Abbasid dynasty replaced it twenty years ago! Most of us here are descendants of Persians, and of course we remember the Persian nation! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "As far as this king knows, the great cannibals are doing nothing more than forcing the people of all ethnic groups in the occupied land to believe in their teachings, and if they don't obey, they will die, so many people who don't obey have been killed, and those who obey have survived, and you people can still stand here and eat in fine clothes, because your ancestors gave in to the big cannibals, and at first they believed in their teachings against their will, and then gradually became numb and habitual, and habit became natural, and you naturally have this habit." Because you don't seem to have any other choice here! ”

"Now this place is ruled by this king, this king will not force the people under him to believe in any doctrine, you have the right to choose freely, as long as you pay taxes normally, normal military service and conscription, and the relevant situation will be published in a detailed official document by the government. But if you want to be an official or a soldier in the government under the king's rule, and if you want to be promoted to officer and general, you must renounce any belief in the doctrine, or you will have to be a commoner! ”

The rich merchants and nobles of the big food were relieved when they heard this, this is thousands of times better than forcing them to belief, but if they can't be officials, can't be promoted to officers and generals, it seems to be a bit of a loss, which means that if you stick to the current doctrine of faith, the people who were originally nobles will no longer be nobles, and they will lose all rights in the future, no different from ordinary **, and there will be no chance to improve their social status in the future, this restriction is too ruthless. Some aristocrats and wealthy businessmen began to live in their hearts, wondering whether to give up the teachings they now believe, if they did not have rights and social status, even if they were rich, they would only be a fat pig in the eyes of the government, and they could slaughter whatever they wanted.

Immediately, a Persian nobleman stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Dear Your Majesty, the villain has decided to give up the doctrine of his previous belief from now on, and he will no longer believe in any doctrine in the future, so does the villain have the qualifications to be an official in the official palace under His Majesty?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Did you give up the doctrine you have believed in for decades so easily? How do you tell the king and the government to believe you? The king wants you to be cautious about this matter, it is not easy to change and renounce the doctrine of a faith, you should go back and think carefully, if you really consider giving up the doctrine of the previous faith, write an application and submit it to the city lord's mansion, there will be a special official who will deal with this matter, whether you can gain the trust of the king and the government, whether it can be approved, depending on how well the application is written and how it will perform in the future within a year or years, after the end of this inspection period, The government thinks that you have indeed given up your former beliefs, and will approve your application, and as for whether you can become an official, it depends on your talents, not that you can definitely become an official if you give up your former beliefs. At the same time, along with your application, you must write a declaration of renunciation of your former beliefs and post it at the gates of the city, announcing that you will break off relations with the sects of your former faith! ”

Zhao Ziliang is not worried at all that no one wants to come out to be an official, what a temptation of power? Even if there is an abyss and eighteen layers of hell in front of you, as long as you can obtain the right, you will never worry that no one will take this step, the moth will fight the fire, even if you burn yourself in the fire, you will not regret it, this is the charm of power.
