Chapter 951: Recruiting Warriors

"Zhao Bei, you quickly take your people to follow behind the Nibora army and rush to Dingri, and the main army will rush to join you after lunch here!" Zhao Ziliang was still a little worried, worried that Duan Xiushi's troops staying in Dingri would be too small and there would be problems. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, grandson farewell!" Zhao Bei agreed, turned around and left, and soon quickly went to Dingri with a thousand mountain soldiers.

At noon, after the whole army had eaten and had lunch, Zhao Ziliang ordered the army to set off immediately to Dingri, which was not far from Dingri, only less than a hundred miles, as long as the marching speed was accelerated, it should be possible to arrive before dark.

In addition to the more than 300 captured Tubo soldiers, the Tubo people in Langketang have all been killed, so Zhao Ziliang only left a small number of people here and set off with a large army.

Only an hour after the arrival of the three thousand mountain soldiers of the Ni Borat Kingdom arrived in Dingdi, Zhao Ziliang rushed over with a large army, and after learning that the mountain soldiers who had stayed here had gone to reinforce Duan Xiushi, he felt much more relieved.

Zhao Bei came with a thousand mountain soldiers and followed the Nibora army, and he already knew the situation of Dingri, and after Zhao Ziliang arrived with the army, he asked him: "How is the situation of Dingri?" ”

Zhao Bei hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the king, there are more than 8,300 people of Tubo people in Dingri, and the original garrison is 1,000, General Duan led the army to come and carry out a surprise attack, annihilating 460 people of the Tubo army, and the rest are all surrendered, the people here and Langketang are not a tribe, although the people of Dingri are fierce, but they surrender to the strong, after our army captured Dingri, the people of Dingri Department did not have too much overreaction!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was surprised, and then said to Zhao Bei: "Let the people here gather tomorrow morning, and this king wants to meet them!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, a fast horse galloped into Dingri from the direction of Malantang, this is the knight who reported the victory, and reported after seeing Zhao Ziliang: "King Qiqi, General Duan came to the villain to report, our army has conquered Malantang yesterday night, killed 600 people, collected more than 800 people, and shocked the local natives of Malantang with absolute force!" After receiving the king's military order, General Duan had already led his troops to stay in Malatang, waiting for the king to lead his army to converge! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, and instructed Xuan Si: "After breakfast, you quickly take the Ninth Army to Maratang, this is not far from Maratang, according to the topographic map sent back by the scout battalion, the road is quite flat, if you speed up the march, you should be able to arrive before the time, after your unit arrives, take over the garrison and vigilance, and let the mountain battalion rest!" ”

Xuan Si hugged his fists and agreed: "The last general will take orders!" ”

The army had breakfast, and Zhao Bei, according to Zhao Ziliang's instructions, ordered people to gather all the people of Dingri, and the people of the Dingri tribe did not know the intentions of the Western Qin army, and they were a little trembling.

People stood in the open space and chattered non-stop, especially those women and old people, the whole gathering of the open space was too noisy, then Zhao Ziliang and the generals and officials walked to the front of the platform in turn, the sound on the open space disappeared, more than 8,000 Tubo people looked at the stage with their eyes.

Zhao Ziliang looked left and right and asked, "What about Zamu?" ”

Zhao Bei kicked out the restless and ownerless Zamu around him, Zamu thought that Zhao Ziliang was going to kill again, he was unsettled at the moment, and he didn't hear Zhao Ziliang calling him at all, until Zhao Bei kicked him out before he turned around, and hurriedly bent down and trotted in front of Zhao Ziliang and kowtowed: "King, the villain is here, please command the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the Tubo people in the audience and said: "You tell them, this king knows that there are warriors among them, and now this king is conquering other Tibetan tribes, and a large number of warriors are needed to attack the city for the king, and the king wants to recruit warriors in them, if they want, the king can pay a lot of gold, gold and silver, cattle and sheep, horses, fields, and grain can be left to their choice, and the king will also give them the sharpest weapons and the thickest armor, and the strongest war horses, as long as they can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, behead the generals and capture the flag, and attack the city, these are not problems!" ”

"Uh・・・・・・" Zamu was stunned, and immediately reacted and asked, "King, aren'・・・・・・t you worried about their loyalty?" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "You can say whatever this king tells you to say, less nonsense!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain just said! Zamu agreed, and immediately relayed Zhao Ziliang's words in the Tibetan language to all the Tubo people in the audience.

Then, Zhao Ziliang beckoned, and some soldiers came over with boxes of gold and silver jewelry and placed them on the stage, and the gold and silver jewelry in the box sparkled in the sunlight.

The Tibetans in the audience all looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in the box, but no one stood up. Seeing this, Zamu immediately asked these Tubo people several times in Tubo.

At this time, a Tubo man muttered something, and Zhamu immediately turned to Zhao Ziliang and saluted: "King, he said that he is willing to serve the king, but he doesn't want gold, silver and jewelry, just cattle, sheep, horses, grain, weapons and armor and freedom!" ”

"Cattle, sheep, horses, grain, weapons and armor are all fine!" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand as he spoke, and then wondered: "It's just that what's going on with this freedom?" No one imprisons them now! ”

Zamu explained: "O king, most of our Tubo people are serfs, and our life and death, marriage, and childbirth are all in the hands of our masters and patriarchs, so most of our Tubo people are not free, and this person hopes that he will no longer have a master in the future!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Oh? And what's going on? So where is his master? ”

Zamu said: "The masters of all the people here are the patriarchs of the Dingri tribe, thousands of households!" ”

"Where is this person?"

At this time, Zhao Bei stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, this person surrendered soon after General Duan came in, and now he is being locked up, and there are more than 500 prisoners who are locked up with him!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately beckoned: "Go and bring this person over!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a short Tubo man was brought over, although this person was short, but he was very strong, his face was full of horizontal meat, and his unruly appearance was very annoying, Zhao Ziliang was unhappy, and immediately ordered: "Cut him down!" ”

"Yes, King!" Zhao Bei agreed, and immediately drew his knife and chopped down, cutting the dwarf Tubo strong man into two sections, spilling blood on the ground, and all the Tubo people in the open space let out an exclamation together.

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "I have seen it, your master is dead, you will have no master in the future, you are all free!" ”

Zhamu immediately translated Zhao Ziliang's words in Tubo, and all the Tubo people in the open space were cold for a long time, and the Tubo man who spoke before in the crowd immediately knelt down, and said another word, and then many young and strong Tubo men in the crowd knelt down and spoke loudly, and others also knelt down.

Zhamu said happily to Zhao Ziliang: "O king, they are grateful for the king's kindness, and the young people among them say that they are willing to be loyal to the king and serve the king, hoping that the king will reward them with cattle, sheep, horses, grain, and land, so that their families can live, and give them weapons and armor, so that they can go into battle for the king and kill the enemy!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed and said: "Okay! Whoever comes, register them, but whoever is willing to be loyal to the king and go into battle for the king, give them cattle, sheep, horses, grain, and land as a settling-in fee. ”

"Yes, King!"

After the registration was counted, the military officials reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, there are a total of 2,600 brave people who are willing to serve the king!" ”

Zhamu, who was standing next to him, said, "Great King, this is almost the number of all the young men here!" ”

"Hahaha・・・・・・ good, good!" Zhao Ziliang was very happy, and said to Zhao Bei: "Zhao Bei, these two thousand young and strong soldiers are handed over to you to be in charge of commanding, they have not undergone any training, but there is no problem in fighting on horseback, this king sees that they have firm eyes and honest expressions, they should all be upright people!" When the army is attacking, don't put them in front, if there is a breakthrough, siege, and narrow road encounter, they can play a great role! ”

Zhao Bei bowed down on one knee and said, "Yes, grandson takes orders!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Zamu again: "Zamu, more than 500 captives will be handed over to you, and you will take them!" In this way, you have nearly a thousand people under your command, you must take them well and let them obey the military orders, otherwise this king is the only one who asks! ”

Zamu was overjoyed and said: "The king is really a king, the villain thanks the adult, you must take care of these people, let them swear to the death for the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, asked Zamu to go down, and instructed Xuanyi: "My Western Qin army left a hundred soldiers, and the Nibora army left three hundred people to garrison here, and today I will rest here for a whole day, and tomorrow I will make a fire to make food, and I will set off to Maratang at the end of the morning!" ”

"Yes, King!"

After dealing with these things, Zhao Ziliang asked the generals and officials to go to their own hands and came to the Qianhu House to rest. Today's events made him feel that the situation in Tibet was really a little strange, he never knew that the social system of Tibet was actually a serfdom system, it turned out that most of the Tubo people were serfs of the Tibetan nobles, and their right to survive was in the hands of the Tibetan nobles.

"In this way, it shouldn't be difficult to level Tibet!" Zhao Ziliang thought about it, in the future, as long as the nobles and officials of Tubo were killed, they would actually liberate the serfs below them, of course, the people of Tubo in other places may not choose to submit and be loyal to him like the people of Tubo on the fixed day, but at least they should not be very hostile to him, and it is also possible that they were not too willing to be ruled by Western Qin at first, but as long as it takes a long time, they will accept it from their hearts. The reason why the Tibetan people of Dingzhi accepted him was because their customs were very special.
