Zhao An later said to Captain Huang Zu: "My Captain Huang, did I kill my brothers?" If I had made them surrender...... They may not lose their lives, but they may live until they are rescued...... When I think of this, my heart is like a knife! ”

Captain Huang Zu looked at Zhao An's teary eyes indifferently, and said lightly: "To be honest, if I were in your place, the final result would definitely be the same as you...... It's okay to surrender, that's someone else's business; Death without surrendering, that's a man's business! ”

Captain Huang Zu laughed again after speaking, turned away, and his singing voice floated in the breeze:

"What is the joy of life, what is the fear of death! Men walk in the world, why not let the romance ......"

To be honest, different people gave different evaluations to the welcome of Zhao An's return, but no matter what, people felt a kind of respect for the hero...... This kind of respect made every member of the team feel the dignity of the army, even those Mamluk cavalrymen!

Dignity comes from respect, not from privilege!

In the Jinghu Theater, the Lu clan actually followed the flow to buy hundreds of Mamluk cavalry, and in that place, they were the Lu family's family members and were extremely favored by the Lu family...... They had the privilege of running horses in the market, and as long as they needed, they could trample on the fields of the common people at will and make people dare not speak, no one dared to provoke them, and these cavalrymen, who were originally slaves, suddenly became proud, and they thought that they had gained dignity...... However, people did not privately scold them for returning to the dog-legged soldiers!

On the contrary, in the Shandong region, all the members of the Liuqiu Guard abide by a military rule, and no military class has anything special, and the domestic children of the island lord Zhang must abide by it......

Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, those who respect military regulations will be given normal benefits, and those who make mistakes will be punished...... As long as the guilty must be punished, then there is no need to think about what to deal with the people, or the same sentence, as long as you really abide by the military rules, the people don't need you to do anything good and good, and they will really respect you.

The Mamluk cavalry in the Shandong region was in the Liuqiu Guard, and they had the same rights and responsibilities; Outside of the Temporaries, they have the same right to freedom and the responsibility to comply with the rules.

Therefore, they really regard themselves as a member of the Liuqiu Guard, they can retain their ethnic and religious rights, and they also know that they are not a member of the Chinese nation, but they are the fighters of the Liuqiu Guard, and they are fighting for the entire Liuqiu Guard.

Of course, they are also respected by the people in Shandong like the rest of the team...... Because, this army is the largest consumer group in Shandong, if they can deal with the logistics department of the Liuqiu Guard, even if it is just a vegetable seller, they will live a very good life.

The real non-disturbance of the people is to let the local people not only not suffer losses because of their arrival, but may gain benefits...... Such an army is popular everywhere.

Now, the buffer between the Liuqiu Guards and the Tatar army in the Shandong region is very open, which of course makes it easier for the people to flee, and at the same time reduces the possibility of friction between the two sides.

At the moment, the careful reciprocation by both sides shows that both sides are on the defensive...... However, that doesn't mean there won't be friction.

No one could have imagined that the starting point of this battle would be in a relatively remote place, far from the main transportation arteries.

That place is a small mountain village around Daimyo Road's Zhishinokan Tao Castle.

As early as the beginning of the 11th century, about 1042 A.D., that is, the second year of the Qing calendar of Song Renzong, the Khitan bandits gathered heavy troops in the Jixian, Tongxian and Tangshan areas of the original world, waiting for an opportunity to invade the south.

When the news reached Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, civil and military officials of the imperial court urgently discussed countermeasures.

Many people advocate moving the capital west to Luoyang, while others advocate peace.

Prime Minister Lü Yijian was an official in the Daimyo Mansion and was very familiar with the situation north of the Yellow River -- in response to the remarks of these westward migration factions and the peace faction, he made a different statement:

"So that the Khitan has to cross the river, although the city is high and the pool is deep, how can it be ashamed? I heard that the Khitan was afraid of strong and cowardly, and the city of Luoyang died to demonstrate the Daimyo's mansion...... It is advisable to build a big name in the capital, and show that the general will be in person to conquer it. ”

Lü Yijian meant that if the Great Song Dynasty officials moved their capital to Luoyang and made the Khitan bandits cross the Yellow River without resistance, at that time, no matter how high the city walls were and how deep the city was, it would be difficult to stop the enemy's attack.

The Khitan robbers were afraid when they met the tough, bullied when they met the cowardly, and hurriedly moved the capital to Luoyang, showing weakness to the enemy and difficult to show the power of the imperial court.

The capital should be built to show the determination of the Great Song Dynasty officials to personally conquer, so as to smash the Khitan bandits' attempt to invade the south.

The Daimyo's Mansion was an important military town in the north of the Yellow River at that time, and it had the tendency of "controlling the river and locking the key to the north gate".

That is to say, it controls a large area of territory north of the Yellow River and guards the northern gate of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Holding on to the daimyo blocked the enemy's passage to the south of the Yellow River.

At that time, Song Renzong adopted Lü Yijian's correct proposition, and in May of that year, he built the Daimyo's Mansion as the capital and named it "Beijing".

When the Khitan heard that the Song Dynasty had established a capital in the Daimyo, they were really timid and dispelled the idea of this southern invasion.

At that time, the newly built capital of Beijing, known as the famous mansion of Beijing, had both an "outer city" and a "palace city".

Although the circumference of the outer city is not as long as 80 li in the Tang Dynasty, it is as much as 48 li.

Miyagi, 3 miles in a week, was built quite majestically and magnificently.

In "Water Margin", it is not an exaggeration to say that she "has a dangerous high ground in the city, a wide and deep trench", "a majestic drum tower", "a prosperous character", "thousands of dancing pavilions and song platforms, tens of thousands of Lin Palaces and Fanyu", "thousands of fierce generals dominate the city, and millions of Li people live in the country", it should be said that it is not an exaggeration at all.

Later, after the Jurchen robbers snatched it, it followed its original name, and after the Tatar robbers came to rob it again, it was renamed Daimyo Province.

At present, there are nearly 200,000 men and horses stationed here, mainly composed of prisoners of war from the former Chagatai Khanate and Ögedai Khanate...... They can slaughter the prime men and women of other nationalities, but they still have to be open to their own people, especially if they need to be able to come in to help themselves.

The wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was originally famous all over the world, and now, it has long been rumored that it is full of gold.

What a good wish it would be if you could really go to the Great Song Dynasty to rob!

Kublai Khan, the big leader, knew very well that as long as they were encouraged to commit robbery, there was no need to say anything about the rest...... As for military discipline, nothing more can be asked for.

Kongjia Village, outside Guantao City, is more than 100 miles away from Guantao City, and the villagers there rely on peanut seeds secretly bought from the Song Dynasty to grow peanuts and then squeeze oil, and earn a little money in the past few years, and live a far better life than in the past.

The northern region has been short of oil for a long time, and no matter what kind of oil it is, it is very easy to sell.

This is originally a hilly area, and in the past, I could only make ends meet by planting some dry land, and God had to take care of it...... In the past few years, in terms of grain, thanks to corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, which have been smuggled out of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the whole village can eat...... In the words of the old village chief, if you give birth in a few more years, everyone will be able to live a good life.

A small vendor who came to collect oil said that there was going to be a big battle outside...... The villagers laughed and said, "What's the matter with me?!" This is far away from the official road outside, and if you come here to make trouble, I am afraid that it will not be enough for those road feet......

The small trader can only nod in approval, if it weren't for a few healthy donkeys walking the mountain path, I really don't know how much effort it would take! (To be continued.) )
