Qiming 1158

Chapter 798 Don't Die For Ren Dejing
Facing the dead end, Ren Dejing insisted on ordering resistance.

He ordered the entire city defenders to fight for the glory of Daxia, and announced that reinforcements from other military divisions were moving quickly to the imperial city and were on their way to King Qin.

Then he gave the [-] defenders of the city a reward of the huge wealth he had gained by killing the royal family and the opposition ministers, and ordered them to eat meat and drink.

The defenders were rewarded, the food was improved, and they were inspired to raise a little morale, so they decided to defend the city.

Looking at the actions of the Xixia army at the head of the city, Su Haisheng knew that Ren Dejing would not surrender.

Since it is not enough to persuade to surrender, it is better to persuade ordinary soldiers and grass-roots officers of Xixia to surrender.

Considering that ordinary Xixia soldiers and grassroots officers include not only Han Chinese, but also Dangxiang people and other miscellaneous Hu people, so the document persuading surrender was written in both Chinese characters and Dangxiang script. Officers and soldiers who could read and write in the army helped to prepare More than 3000 copies were ordered.

Before the war, the Ming army threw all the documents of persuasion into the city with trebuchets.

The letter of persuasion to surrender was written very clearly, and it was very clear to the soldiers and junior officers of the garrison in the city, and considered them from their standpoint.

You defend the city, and you are helping Ren Dejing, not your little emperor. You are working hard for Ren Dejing.

The army attacked the city with no means of casualties. You, your family and friends will all face death, but Ren Dejing is still alive and well.

The Ming army only wanted to incriminate Ren Dejing and his comrades, but the soldiers and grass-roots officers were not guilty and could be forgiven.

As long as you surrender and don't fight, the Ming army can pretend that these things never happened, you lived before the war, and you lived after the war.

Or there are brave soldiers among you who can open the city gates for the Ming army, or capture Ren Dejing, which is considered a great achievement, and the Ming emperor will repay you with a knighthood.

Don't die for Ren Dejing.

You die for Ren Dejing, Ren Dejing will not be grateful to you, but will only take it for granted.

Think about his luxurious life, think about the power and status he enjoys on weekdays, think about the glory and wealth he has, think about his pomp.

Now you are not fighting for yourself and your relatives and friends, but to protect Ren Dejing's glory and wealth?
If the battle is won, will he share the glory and wealth with you?Will he let you enjoy a little bit of his glory and wealth?
Don't you still have to be beaten and scolded by Shangguan, instructed to do things at will, and live like livestock, without any dignity at all?

And you fight for the Ming Dynasty is different.

After the war, if you are willing to join the army, you can continue to be in the army;

Daming can allocate land for you, can allocate houses, cattle and farm tools for you, can reduce or exempt you taxes, and can make your life better than before.

The Ming army will not beat and scold you, nor will you bully you. You can even study literacy and culture here, and you can open your eyes to see the world.

Of course, the Ming army not only has military salaries, but can also eat meat, vegetables and fruits on a regular basis, which will never let you have enough food.

The Daming army swears by its own credibility that as long as you abandon Ren Dejing and follow the Daming army, the Daming army will never break your word.

But the Ming army only waited for the last twelve hours.

As soon as the last twelve hours arrive, the Daming army will not accept the surrender. All consequences will be borne by you. Your own death and the death of your relatives and friends are caused by you, and the Daming army will not be responsible.

You died for Ren Dejing, Ren Dejing will not thank you, will not remember you, you will die worthless.

Few of the soldiers at the bottom were literate, regardless of whether they were Han Chinese or party members. The fate of the proletariat was largely the same, regardless of ethnic composition.

Therefore, these documents of persuasion to surrender are mainly aimed at the grass-roots officers in the city who know some characters. Of course, it is not ruled out that some soldiers also know characters.

These people are the bottom and the vast majority of the army, and the documents to persuade them to surrender can have the greatest effect, and can shake the hearts of the defenders in the city to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, a large number of documents persuaded to surrender entered the city and were scattered all over the city walls. Many Xixia soldiers picked up a piece of paper and looked at the question mark on the forehead in black and white, not knowing what was written on it.

But it didn't matter, soon there were officers and soldiers who could read it, and after reading it, they fell into deep thought, and began to think about what was written on this piece of paper and what they were doing now.

Although the soldiers at the bottom were illiterate, they were also curious. Under their questioning, some of the literate officers and soldiers told them the contents of the Ming army’s persuasion document on paper, so that they would know, think, and then spread it further.

By the time the high-level army officers in the city knew the news and immediately sent someone to confiscate the documents of persuasion to surrender, the content of the documents of persuasion to surrender had already spread on a large scale among the defenders in the city.

An important core of persuasion is who they are fighting for.

This issue was pointed out in the Ming army's document on persuasion to surrender, and it was spread, causing a considerable number of people to think and be confused.

As for the military's top management, the army began to think and be confused. It was a great event and a fatal event.

Ren Dejing also knows this.

He read the document of persuasion to surrender, and was horrified to find that the Ming army was attacking his lifeline.

They actually threw out the super critical proposition of who to fight for!
Of course, it is impossible for him to distribute his wealth and power to the lower-level officers and soldiers.

But if the grassroots officers and soldiers are shaken, he can go to the funeral.

Surprised, he immediately forbade the soldiers to disseminate the contents of the documents of persuasion to surrender, and sent his own guards as a supervising team to allow the soldiers to inform each other.

Whoever spreads the content of the persuasion document will report it to the supervising team, and can receive rewards, or even join the supervising team to supervise other soldiers together.

Under such operations, the dissemination of documents persuaded to surrender in the army was suppressed to a certain extent. Some villains who only valued immediate interests reported their companions and gained the opportunity to join the supervising team and gained a "new life".

But the human heart has its own justice. You can keep your mouth shut, and you can't keep your heart. The content of the persuasion document spreads very quickly. Everyone is not a fool, but they didn't think so much before.

Now thinking about it, and looking at the majestic and well-prepared Ming army outside the city, their hearts are constantly shaking.

In the final analysis, most of this army defending the city are people from the inside of the city and the surrounding areas. The attack of the Ming army is very likely to threaten their families, and even if they defend Ren Dejing, they cannot guarantee that their families will not be protected. harm.

And the Ming army only asked Ren Dejing and those around him who were arrogant, and had nothing to do with everyone.

It is also true that since ancient times, these pitiful big-headed soldiers are rarely accepted as long as they can surrender, because killing them is boring, and it is easy to cause panic in the group.

So many people are thinking, is it worth fighting for Ren Dejing?
