I couldn't help licking my lips, and a little bit of wine seemed to pour out of my throat.

And at this time, on the altar. The governor of Khorasan, Li Chengji, said to Li Gao and other senior generals of the Protector Army that they had worked hard. He walked in front of the stage, faced all the soldiers, and said, "Everyone! In this battle of Khorasan, you have all made great contributions. You are all warriors, and you are all good sons of the grassland. ”。

"The Governor is wise!"

"The Governor is mighty!" , the soldiers in the audience responded in unison.

Li Chengji looked at them with a smile, stretched out his hand and made a silent motion, and continued: "For the Governor's Palace, for the Puritans, for the sake of justice, and for all believers who have fallen astray, you will be taught by Allah, and you will throw your heads and spill your blood.

The Doge's Palace will remember it, and thousands of Puritans and the people of Khorasan will remember it. The voice was sonorous and powerful, reaching the depths of the hearts of the soldiers.

Therefore, for a while, the audience was silent.

Swallowing his saliva, Li Chengji's mind recalled a few days ago, the sea of corpses and blood under Malu City. couldn't help but feel even more emotional, and said with a little emotion: "Your merits, the Governor's Mansion will be engraved on the stone tablet." In the future, all the descendants of the Protectors will know about the great exploits of their ancestors. ”。

Yang Jier listened to it, and inexplicably had a kind of grace of understanding. The idea of joining the Apologetics is also more determined than ever.

"Come on! Toast! Li Chengji took the wine bowl presented by the guard, and said in a very heroic and thick voice. instantly shortened the distance with the soldiers, causing them to urge the soldiers who poured the wine to hurry up.

"This one! First of all, the brothers who died in battle! After Li Chengji finished speaking, he poured the wine on the ground. The soldiers in the audience also poured wine together, their faces heavy.

The whole barracks could only hear the sound of water splashing when the wine landed. The slightly dry ground was also wetted with a large area.

The people standing outside the barracks could not understand the cathars' movements. But I don't know why, my heart is unconsciously a little heavy. Some children who probed their brains and laughed and played with their faces were also restrained, and some of them stood still beside their parents cautiously.

In the barracks, Lee Seung-ji faced the Hejaz (Arabian Peninsula), where the holy city is located, and knelt on his knees and prayed a Muslim. The soldiers present also knelt down and saluted. So for a while, the barracks fell to their knees.

Seeing this, the people also knelt down. They didn't know what the cathars were praying for, but they all had words.

In fact, it is a prayer for the dead soldiers. May they be blessed by Allah in Paradise. Even in the bottom of his heart, Lee Seungji did not believe that Allah really existed. But this kind of prayer is necessary.

Because people's psychological cues are very powerful. Many times, it even affects the victory of a war.

So it's not so much about praying for a dead brother as it for a peace of mind for yourself.

After a while, Li Chengji stood up from the ground. Everyone got up from the ground in unison with his movements.

Pouring another glass of wine, Li Chengji shouted, 'Respect yourself'.

He tilted his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Respect yourself!" , the Apolologist shouted at the mountain.

Li Chengji poured the third glass of wine and said loudly: "The Guardian Army is not my Li Chengji alone, and it does not belong to anyone. It is the will of God and the army of Allah. Therefore, any demon that goes against the will of Allah will be judged by Allah! ”。

"Judgment!"

"Judgment!" , the soldiers roared loudly.

"Soldiers, Allah will not fail the faithful. Therefore, you all have great rewards for your achievements. ”。 Li Chengji finished drinking and said loudly. Boxes of trays with red cloth bottoms were immediately sent from the soldiers to the altar. It was a dagger with a finely made handle, a scimitar, and rare things such as pearls, agate, and orbs.

In order to maximize the visual impact, Li Chengji also made people deliberately walk slower.

Attracted the soldiers, smacking their tongues in unison.

In addition to this, there are trays of golden dinars and silver dirkhans. The bright color made most soldiers involuntarily red-eyed and hot.

In the end, the yellow and white things are favored by the world. And the soldiers are all laymen! Although they are Puritans, they still have to eat and drink while they are alive. Therefore, he can't be like a literati, clinging to elegance and disdain yellow and white things.

Some people with good eyesight also saw it outside the barracks. The trays of gold, silver, and jewelry made them want to join the cathars now.

In addition, there are bows and arrows, sabers, leather goods, saddles, spears, good horses and other favorite items of the army. and the title deeds of fertile land, pastures, and mansions.

With the explanation of the military supervisor, the soldiers all shouted involuntarily, "The governor is mighty!" The Doge is mighty! ”。

In fact, Li Chengji is so generous, and he also has his own reasons. First, profit is one of the tools to maintain the loyalty of the cathars, and second, the capture of the battlefield is far more than the reward.

Like Malu City! As an important commercial town connecting the east and west, running through the north and south. Ma Lu's wealth is not too much to do with Pu Hua.

Even if Li Chengji did not let the cathars enter the city, the family property that should be confiscated and the money that should be counted were not pulled down. Like the gold and silver beads in the Malu Governor's Palace, rare antiques. It was transported in a camel cart for three days, but it was not finished.

There is also the seizure of Nishapurshire. The more than 100 camel carts that had just been transported into the camp had been filled into the treasury of the Governor's Palace in Khorasan. I didn't look at Zhang Timing, the great of the household department, and ordered David Gurion, the secretary of the Treasury Division, to go down and keep an eye on it.

So on a closer look, the Governor's Palace did not have much to lose.

However, it is difficult for others to know this account. For their eyes were all fixed on the rarity that had been laid out.

Yang Jier stood in the audience, and couldn't help but sigh at Li Chengji's generosity!

He had never been rewarded with such a generous reward when he ate military rations under his father Timur. Even if the battle is won, only one or two dirkhans will be distributed to each person. Or enjoy a meal of wine and food, which is considered a treat or two.

In Khorezm's army, this is still better. Except for the Sultan's guards, there was no camp that could match the preferential treatment of his father.

Nowadays, it is simply not worth mentioning compared to this.

Maybe it's the heart of the father and son! Timur also gave Li Chengji a big reward, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, I still had a little self-sustaining thoughts, but now all of them have dissipated. looked at Li Chengji's eyes, and it was no longer the previous appreciation, but the respect of the people below for the superiors.

On the contrary, Armani was overjoyed. Because these rewards prove how correct his choice was in the first place. Even if he was disliked, he felt in his heart that it was worth it.
