Chapter 746: Leading the Way Party

Arriving in Madrid, William was pleasantly surprised to learn of Rodrigo's victory, but he was not prepared to let the two go easily, especially the reckless Count of Lucion. Morality. Lucioni.

Duke Rodrigo was appointed by William, and he had full command of all the troops on the battlefield, even the Second Guards Regiment under the command of Duke Theodore, whom he had sent, so Count Lucioni of Hugues flouted military orders, which was disrespectful to Duke Rodrigo and disrespectful to William, and such behavior must be punished.

Arriving in Toledo, William immediately summoned Rodrigo and Lucioni's Hugue, and announced their rewards and punishments.

Count Hugue of Lucioni was ordered to remove the command of the front and lead his headquarters under Duke Rodrigo as a knight, as well as the other knights, who were no longer obedient to orders and gathered around someone without orders, which was extremely dangerous. If someone is not right-minded, it is likely to cause disaster.

As for Duke Rodrigo's refusal to save him, the situation was not serious, and he still sent a cavalry to meet him at the last moment, otherwise William would probably not be able to see Count Hugues of Lucioni here. Therefore, William only gave Rodrigo a few words of warning, after all, it was the time to use troops at this time, and it was not appropriate to dampen morale.

"Rodrigo, I heard that Prince Abad has been captured by us, bring him over to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rodrigo gave a few words to the lieutenant beside him, and a Moorish man with a black head was brought up.

William wasn't very interested in this man, but when he saw the black tangle on his head, he looked at it with great interest.

In later generations, this kind of Sunni black head is rare, and it is only commonly worn by Sikhs in India, only religious scholars in Iran, and most of the others wear arabesque headbands + square scarves.

There are even many times when this kind of Sunni black head is regarded by the local government as one of the characteristics of religious extremists, after all, there are only those religious extremists now, and they are likely to hide bombs in the black head, so the local police department usually takes the person to have a cup of tea when they see the black head.

"If the black head is tied, Saladin still looks good, this Prince Abad is good-looking, but he always feels that he doesn't have the compelling momentum of Saladin." William kept looking at the visitor and muttered softly.

"You're Abad Murtaimid?" William looked at him with his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, the most honorable Emperor blessed by God, the villain is Abad Murdedid." Abad Murtimid replied flatteringly, and even though William's tone was calm, he felt a compelling momentum and pressure.

"Will you surrender to me? I can give you freedom, but only if you surrender the rest of the territory except Seville, and in addition to paying tribute, you must let my army cross the border so that you can not comply. ”

William made his own conditions, if the other party agreed in full, that is, in addition to Seville and several surrounding territories, including Grenada, Algarve, Gibraltar, Cádiz, Murcia, Córdoba, Badajoz and other places need to be ceded to William.

In addition, Abad Murtaimide had to pay a large tribute every year and provide a force to assist William in his war.

It can be said that once the other party agrees, the final result can only be to become a small puppet country controlled by William, and gradually disappear in the continuous exploitation.

However, even under such harsh conditions, Abad Murdeide did not hesitate, and in order to fight his father and uncle, Abad Murdemid, who was anxious to gain his freedom, accepted these conditions, and promised to provide a force at William's disposal.

At this point, Seville was divided into three, and the Moorish power against the Normans was severely weakened, and there was no longer any possibility of continuing to resist the Norman conquest.

After gaining his freedom and receiving assurances from William, Prince Abad Murtimid was very active, personally acting as a leading party, opening the way for the Norman army, and frequently rebelling against the Moorish nobles and chieftains, making William's conquest of Spain much easier.

William and others led a huge army all the way south, but on the way, they never encountered any organized resistance, not even the Moorish army that dared to rely on the castle and city walls to resist, which had to make him feel the benefits of leading the way.

"Perhaps after hundreds of years of colonization of Spain, the Moorish hierarchy has long since decayed." William couldn't help but sigh after seeing the corrupt lives of so many Moors.

It is no wonder that the later Murabit Sultan Yusuf wanted to get rid of these Moorish chieftains, their lives were so corrupt and depraved that even William, who was a shallow believer, could not stand it, let alone those who adhered to dogma.

There was no fierce fighting, and William had more free time to observe all that was going on with the Moors, which he was extremely interested in, and what centuries of colonial rule and national integration had brought to Spain.

It was difficult for William to tell the difference between the Moors and the Castilians just by looking at their appearance, after all the centuries of intermarriage, the Spaniards were already on par with the Arabs.

It can be seen that the degree of assimilation is quite high, such as the Spanish actors Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, all of whom have a glittering appearance. Banderas, in particular, does not need makeup at all to play an Arab in "Black Gold", and his nose is in a natural Arabic style. As for the Spanish players, Xavi, Raul, the eyes and noses, you let the Arabs pull a couple of Spanish star faces from the streets of Iraq, and it is estimated that they can pull a bunch of them.

Hundreds of years of colonial rule and ethnic integration, even the most tenacious ethnic group is estimated to be assimilated, if China does not have China without Ran Min, it is estimated that now it will be the same style as the Nepalese, the characteristics of the general Mongols, half of the appearance of the Caucasians.

In addition to this, it was also evident that this vast land was too empty, and that only a few fertile lands were cultivated in this land, while the rest of the land was mostly used for grazing, and the number of agricultural people was not large.

This is extremely common, even in Castile, which is still relatively densely populated.

"It seems that there will be a large-scale migration to Spain in the future, especially in France, where the population pressure is so great that some serfs can be relocated from France in the future to open up new towns and farms."
