"You traitors, listen up!"
"My lord has ordered that you all be forgiven for your crimes because you were bewitched by Zhao Wei and the others.”
"However, Zhao Wei, Wang Shang, and the others are guilty of treason!”
"The lord has ordered that Zhao Wei, Wang Shang, and the other traitors be punished. As an example!"
Zhang Song shouted at the top of his lungs as he passed down Liu Zhang's order to the 100,000 soldiers below.
Liu Zhang had specially found Zhang Song to say these words.
The main reason was that Zhang Song was from Yizhou, so everyone was happy to accept it.
When Zhang Song saw the 100,000 surrendering troops below, they were all scared out of their wits.
He nodded in satisfaction and continued,""My lord is a hero of the world. He rewards and punishes clearly. He will reward those who have merit and correct those who have fault!”
"Now that you have obtained the Lord's forgiveness, if you want to continue to serve the Lord in the army, you can!”
"If you don't want to continue joining the army, the lord will also allow it. At the same time, he will give you money to tide over the difficulties!”
"Of course, if you are willing to continue following the lord, from today onwards, every household will be exempted from taxes for three years! At the same time, they enjoyed a high salary in the army, with each person receiving two taels of silver per month!”
"At the same time, the families of the soldiers will be given subsidies for every red and white event in the future. During festivals, they will also be rewarded handsomely!”
"Of course, if you make contributions to the lord in the future, the rewards will be even more generous.”
After throwing out a series of sugar-coated bullets, Zhang Song paused slightly.
He took a deep breath and shouted at the soldiers below,"All of you! Tell me loudly, how did you choose?”
"We are willing to follow you to the death to repay your kindness!”
Below, the 100,000 surrendered soldiers echoed in unison.
His voice resounded throughout the three rivers of Yizhou!
Zhang Song and the generals on the city pass nodded as expected.
Nonsense!
In the face of such generous conditions, how could they have any reason to refuse?
To be honest, this was probably the highest level of treatment for a soldier in history!
Three years of tax exemption!
What kind of concept was this?
At the same time, there was such a high monthly salary.
Furthermore, Liu Zhang had sufficient rations and weapons, so the food in the army was naturally the best.
One had to know that a second ago, they were still rebels and surrendered soldiers!
In the blink of an eye, they had received such treatment. This undoubtedly made them fly from hell to heaven in an instant.
As long as he wasn't a retard, he wouldn't reject her, right?
Since ancient times, money could make the world go round!
Now that Liu Zhang was so rich, it was naturally very easy for him to settle everything.
Moreover, as his strength grew, he would have plenty of opportunities to earn back the money he had spent.
Of course, it didn't really matter whether he earned it or not.
In the future, when he truly became the ruler of the world, everything under the heavens would be his.
Money and beauties were meaningless!
"Cough cough, since all the soldiers are willing to follow me, then I will say a few words!”
Liu Zhang covered his nose and coughed lightly. He looked at the soldiers below and said,"
Instantly, all the soldiers raised their heads and looked at Liu Zhang with excitement and respect.
"Everyone! Don't think that I'm heartless enough to annihilate Zhao Wei and Wang Shang's three clans! Ever since I took over the position of Yi Prefecture Overseer, I became Zhao Wei's puppet!”
"I was so patient that I didn't even hesitate to let him hold a large number of troops and control the state of my Yi Province! However, everyone saw how Zhao Wei treated me!”
"To be honest, I don't feel fear when I see everyone marching toward my city. I feel heartache!”
"As the ruler of Yi Province, I really feel like I've failed when I see my thousands of people wielding butcher knives at me. I've really failed as the ruler of Yi Province!”
"I often ask myself, for the sake of peace in Yizhou, I am willing to let Zhao Wei, Wang Shang, and the others be arrogant and despotic. Even if they hold great power and provoke me time and time again, I will endure it!”
"After all, my father and I are outsiders. Although we are relatives of the Han clan, you are unwilling to be ruled by us after entering Shu!”
"I know that back then, my father hurt many noble families in Yizhou for his own ambition! I am deeply sorry about this, and I often feel guilty about it!”
"But it had already happened. I knew that blaming myself was useless, so I tried my best to make up for my father's mistakes!”
"Ever since I came to power, I have never favored one over the other. I have never distinguished between the Yi Province Sect and the Eastern Province Sect! In my eyes, since we are all in the same boat, we should support each other and work together to overcome difficulties!”
"I'm dedicated to the people of Yizhou. You can go to the people of the other provinces and ask if I can get a share of the money I got from the Saint Ranking.”
"Li Yan is in charge of all the wealth obtained! He knew every single expense clearly!”
"You can go and ask if I stole a penny! All my expenses are for the sake of making Yizhou strong and the people rich!”
"In this chaotic world, the people of the world are not at ease, but the soldiers and civilians of my Yizhou are happier than anyone else!”
"Every day, you see thousands of refugees pouring into our Yizhou. Don't you think about the reason?”
"Because the territory of Yizhou is peaceful and the people live and work in peace! Because this was the pure land that was free from the poison of war!”
"Why is Yizhou able to maintain peace and stability? Do you really think it's just because Yizhou is remote? Did they really think that Yizhou would not be invaded by foreign enemies?”
"Let me tell you, it's not like this! I've been racking my brains day and night to protect Yizhou! It was exchanged for by the tens of millions of soldiers of Yizhou who sacrificed their lives in front of them!”
"But you, because of Zhao Wei's words, raised your long saber without hesitation and charged at me, at your compatriots in Yizhou! Is it really just because I'm an outsider?”
"As the ruler of Yizhou, from the day I took office, I have treated all of you and all the citizens of Yizhou as my own family!”
"But what makes me sad is that you treat me as an outsider! If I kill Zhao Wei, my heart will ache even more!”
At this point, Liu Zhang stopped and raised his chin slightly.
He looked like he was in pain, and a drop of hot tears fell from his eyes.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly. His face was filled with sorrow.
The 100,000 surrendered soldiers below, as well as the advisors and soldiers beside him, were all teary-eyed.
Because every word Liu Zhang said touched the deepest part of their hearts, the most genuine feelings.
They were really ashamed!
"Soldiers, I just want to ask sincerely, from now on, are you really willing to serve me? Until death do us part?"
