"I'll never be able to climb up there in my lifetime."
So he's become a general?
"General Yang's great kindness and virtue,"
"I will remember this for the rest of my life!"
Liu Huichuan was so excited he was almost crying.
It's just a matter of spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones.
Promote a son of a scoundrel to the rank of general
It can inspire all Han Chinese who have submitted to fight bravely.
As for this position
It's only temporary.
Yang Zhi did not have that authority.
Liu Huichuan's military rank would be very low.
However, the trial military rank will be very high.
He can be promoted to a higher military rank gradually after he has made meritorious contributions in the future.
The next day, the prisoners were identified.
The Tanguts were separated.
Senior generals and their families,
He was escorted to Lanzhou and imprisoned.
They will be used as bargaining chips in future negotiations.
Tangut mid- to low-ranking officers,
Execute them all!
Tangut ordinary soldiers,
They were assigned to serve as serfs by the Ming soldiers stationed in the city.
Chapter 1718 Land Allocation
The 1,500 Ming soldiers who remained to guard the border
They all come from Hanzhong.
However, land in Hanzhong is scarce.
Not every soldier was allocated land.
In the past, they were directly rewarded with money for their meritorious service.
The monetary reward is still given.
But the soldiers who remained here,
But additional land needs to be allocated.
Then they were assigned serfs to farm.
This is compensation for being stationed far from home while guarding the border.
Otherwise, morale will be low.
Once their families are brought here, everything will be fine.
From now on, they will all be small-time landlords in the military.
Of course, after the Western Xia is destroyed...
Serfdom must be abolished.
Now they're creating military serfs.
Firstly, it can inspire the soldiers guarding the border.
Secondly, it could deplete the population of Western Xia.
The regular garrison here,
They would inevitably bring along the settlers and soldiers.
They would frequently travel into the territory of Western Xia to kidnap people.
Finally, more than a thousand prisoners of war from various ethnic groups remained.
They were Qiang people, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and so on.
Yang Zhi summoned these people and personally addressed them,
"You can go home alive?"
"After returning to their respective tribes,"
“Tell your tribal chief,”
"He will be conscripted into battle by the Western Xia in the future,"
"We can play without going all out."
"If they are willing to submit to the Great Ming Dynasty,"
"The chieftain can secretly send envoys to Lanzhou,"
"Once the Ming Dynasty destroys the Western Xia,"
"Those who make meritorious contributions will be richly rewarded by all departments."
Different ethnic groups do not speak the same language.
Chinese is the common language.
Yang Zhi also hired a translator in Lanzhou.
Afraid they wouldn't understand,
It was translated again in different languages.
Soldiers of all races, upon hearing that they would not die,
Overwhelmed with emotion, he knelt down to express his gratitude to Yang Zhi.
"He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment."
Yang Zhi then said,
“Starting tomorrow, you will all go and dig for red soil,”
"Let's join the craftsmen in piling earth to repair the breach in the city wall!"
"We'll let you go home after the war is over."
Soldiers of all races were even more convinced that they would not die.
They all expressed their determination to work hard.
There's work to do today.
Countless naked corpses,
They were piled up in various places throughout the city.
Soldiers of various ethnicities were responsible for carrying the corpses out of the city.
Dig many more large pits,
Mix the corpse with firewood and throw it in.
After burning it, they filled the hole with soil and buried it.
The captured warhorses and armor,
They were categorized and placed outside the city.
Prioritize giving it to Li Yanxian's ragtag cavalry.
These brothers have all sorts of equipment.
The warhorses were also of varying quality.
Today things are finally a bit more organized.
"Don't rush, everyone will get a share,"
Li Yanxian said with a smile
"They lined up according to their military rank to receive their warhorses and armor."
"To get a good horse, you must hand over your old horses."
"To receive a good suit of armor, you must hand over your old armor."
"Of course, those without armor are another matter."
The ragtag cavalrymen were beaming with joy.
The first batch of officers have stepped forward.
They led their warhorses,
Wearing armor and carrying weapons.
First, go to the herd of horses to change your warhorse.
After selecting the horse, lead it away.
He left behind his original mount.
Then follow this method,
Replace the weapons and armor as well.
The second batch, the third batch... until it was the turn of the ordinary cavalry.
According to the internal lottery system based on the unit number.
Those who are lucky will have priority.
Neither Li Yanxian nor Yan Ping participated.
When they left Xiangyang
Zhu Ming gifted him the complete set of equipment.
"Yan Er, what do you think of my horse?"
General Luo Ruming led a horse over.
This fellow, however, is from a wealthy family.
My family runs a business.
He has never been interested in business since he was a child.
Instead, they prefer spears, clubs, bows, and horsemanship.
Spending all day mingling with heroes of the martial arts world
He could be considered a chivalrous hero.
Li Yanxian returned to Shaanxi and raised an army.
Luo Ruming brought thirty men with him to surrender.
Yan Ping said, "Your previous one was also a fine steed."
"Is there any need to change it again?"
Luo Ruming laughed and said, "There's always someone stronger than the strongest."
"The same goes for these warhorses."
