Richard didn't care about Seme people's thoughts. After all, Seme people in the Western Regions did not even have the right to receive education and could never become a threat to his rule.

The most important purpose of Richard's shaping his glorious image is to enter the Central Plains and better rule the East Asian continent in the future.

Put your heart in mind. No one likes the emperor above his head as a tyrant, and everyone hopes that his boss is a benevolent and righteous leader.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least make the people believe that they are a kind and just emperor, rather than a tyrant who ordered tens of thousands of people to fall...

Truth is a weak girl, and the state machine is a strong man. If you want to rape the truth, you only need to send out an iron fist...

Whether it is religion or the court, what I like to do most is to distort the truth and lean towards the one who is beneficial to one's own interests. As the slogans shouted by the modern earth - the truth is always within the range of the cannon.

For Richard now, truth is always within the scope of his sword!

For such a "monarch of benevolence and righteousness" who treats surrendered officials well and pushes over with justice and liberator, the grassroots bureaucrats in Xizhou naturally want to open the door to welcome the surrender quickly. It is best not to fight the inner city guards, otherwise there will be no eyes on the sword. If the Ming army rushed in and they will be killed together, they will be more unfair...

"Everyone also knows the situation in the inner city of Xizhou. If you want to ensure a smooth breakthrough, one or two people will not be able to suppress those scheming people."

Long Letian naturally knew that after the battle last night, the balance in the hearts of the wealthy officials in Xizhou in the inner city had been seriously tilted. Even those landlords who faced the big stick of Richard and Juntian did not dare to continue to fight against the Ming army, let alone others?

If it weren't for the fact that the Long Family Army could fight the most, the inner city of Xizhou would have long been in harmony with the Ming army outside the city!

No one thought that the Long family army, who was invaded into the outer city by the Ming army overnight and lost thousands of people, could defend the inner city of Xizhou...

The strange silence in the lobby was planned to be reported suddenly. A messenger from the Long Family Army ran in with a letter and presented it to Long Letian in front of everyone.

Dare to do this only means that this letter is important to the outcome of the battle... Although everyone knows in their hearts that the outcome of the battle has been decided...

But there are many consequences of defeat. Now, including the Dragon Family, what we care about is not the issue of victory or defeat, but the issue of how much we can lose.

The bottom line in everyone's heart is to protect the basic wealth and the lives of themselves and their relatives. As for the real estate of the Long Family Army and the Long Family, if they can exchange their lives, 90% of the people present will cheer!

Long Letian did not shy away, and opened the envelope in front of everyone. If nothing unexpected happened, this was a letter of persuasion to surrender...

Last night, the battle was only destroyed by the government soldiers and official yamen runners in Xizhou City, as well as nearly half of the Long Family Army. More than half of the Long Family Army in the inner city were still more than half of the Long Family Army. After all, this army was no less than the regular army of the Tang Dynasty at its peak. Relying on the defense of the inner city, many people would still be killed if they attacked strongly.

If you can persuade the surrender and let the other party put down your weapons, why not do it?

The most important thing is that Richard has already fallen in love with these Long Family soldiers. Their combat qualities are much better than those of the auxiliary army. If they can be brought over to reorganize, at least half of the Han army field army can be produced.

With the vast territory of Xizhou, Richard was able to support more Han soldiers.

In this era, the loyalty of soldiers was very low. The cohesion of the Long family army was based on a solid rule. If the Long family had no money and was defeated, the lower-level soldiers would not be buried with the Long family. However, the officers of the middle and high-level Long family army might be buried with Long Letian.

Most of the loyalty of the Long Family Army also comes from the loyalty of the officers among them.

After all, the soldiers of the Long Family Army were very complicated, including soldiers from various small military governors in the Western Regions, soldiers from regular field troops from the Anxi Protectorate, a large number of enemy surrendered soldiers, and even the prefecture and county soldiers who performed outstandingly and promoted, etc.

War is a melting pot that will constantly eliminate and integrate those low-level soldiers...

No one cares about the loyalty of an ordinary soldier. If a general surrenders repeatedly, no one may dare to accept it, but a soldier has changed his camp again and again, even if he is a slave of a commoner, no one will remember it!

The civil servants and generals of this era pay attention to reputation, but civilian soldiers did not have this statement, and even people who worked for foreign races were everywhere.

Aren’t the current auxiliary soldiers just national traitors who serve Richard, the Han king who enslaved Seme people?

However, the Seme soldiers in the auxiliary army not only did not have the awareness of being traitors, but were complacent and felt that they lived better than other compatriots who were serfs. They even regarded themselves as half a Han Chinese, and were proactive and wanted to make more meritorious contributions and kill more enemies, get more promotion opportunities and rewards.

When most people in a nation are willing to work for foreign races, it is the true meaning of the country and the race!

Long Letian, who looked at the letter of surrender, had a gloomy face at first, but in the end he was relieved. Without saying much, he directly circulated the letter of surrender to the people in the lobby.

Soon, someone read out Richard's letter of persuasion to surrender.

After the convincing beliefs of surrendering, everyone's expressions became glad and depressed.

Fortunately, I can save my life this time, but what is depressed is that the Long family is about to lose the greatest support.

Richard's request was very simple. He handed over Xizhou and Long Family Army, and allowed the middle and senior officials of the Long Family Army and the Long Family members to leave with a little wealth.

Of course, all Tang coins must be kept!

This condition is already pretty good in this environment. At least it has not broken through the bottom limit of most of the Long family members present. Even Long Letian agreed to this treaty of persuading surrender.

Instead of being furious, he handed over the letter of surrender to others for circulating, which itself represented an attitude.

At the end of the 6th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Long Family Army officially surrendered to Richard and handed over the inner city of Xizhou to the Ming army intact. Long Letian left with the Long Family members and a few middle and senior officers of the Long Family Army who were willing to continue to follow the Long Family.

The people who left, including the Long family servants, were only a few hundred. This was mainly caused by Richard's restrictions.

If the Long family brings all the servants, slaves and even guards, thousands of people can come up with them!

In the surrendered Long family army, all the officers above Shi Zheng retired forcibly, and Richard did not kill them. That was not in line with his righteousness and liberator status, and there was no benefit...

These people have regained their identity as free people and have been beaten to become ordinary people.

As for the soldiers of the Long Family Army and the lower-level officers, including Shi Chief, they all became soldiers of the same level and were involved in three field legions!
