I should marry the traitor

Chapter 210 Conditions? Whip or candle?
Li Changge decided to let the Northern Di people move to Jizhou, even allocated a piece of land for them to dig pits, and reduced their taxes in the past few years.

But Li Changge is the emperor, not a philanthropist. These things cannot be without cost. It is better to say that the Origami King has always been prepared to pay something.

Sending troops to help Li Changge fight the war is an essential part and is also within the expectations of the Origami King.

But the opponent of this first stick was too tough.

Although the influence of the Daqian court has weakened a lot, the four military governors are very famous. The first battle was against Dongyou, which made King Origami sweat profusely.

Indeed, Beishuo and Beidi have been fighting for many years, and the Origami King and An Xinlin are also old rivals.

Even in terms of strength, Beishuo is stronger than Dongyou, but fighting and annihilation are two completely different concepts.

The fights between An Xinlin and the Origami King can only be called quarrels or a tacit understanding to show off their military merits to each other, but there has never been a real life-and-death battle that would result in serious consequences.

But this time it is completely different. Li Changge's goal is to annihilate the Dongyou Navy, so this will definitely be a battle that determines the winner and the loser, as well as life and death.

The probability of death for ordinary soldiers caught up in this meat grinder-like battlefield is at least 50%.

Li Changge asked Beidi to take the position at this time, which meant that he wanted to recruit the young and strong people of Beidi to serve as fill-in babies.

Could the Origami King refuse? Or was she qualified to refuse?
Of course not. Li Changge is not that kind of delicate emperor. He has plenty of energy and means. When he speaks, the Origami King has no right to refuse.

The question is how many troops to send out. Li Changge gave Yuan the ability to choose...

Yuan gritted his teeth secretly. This was the time to show loyalty. If one was not ruthless, he would not be able to stand firm.

"Your Majesty, my Beidi tribe may be able to go out--"

"Thirty-five thousand elite soldiers are willing to serve your majesty."

The last time we fought An Xinlin was to fight our way out of the Gobi Desert, so mobilization was much simpler.

This time is different. The tribesmen are forced to go out to fight, and it is a battle that is bound to result in heavy casualties. Even if Yuan forces the sign, thirty-five thousand is almost the limit.

The Origami King was very sincere, and Li Changge could see that. He tapped the table lightly and said:
"The remaining 5,000 will be eliminated. Your Beidi tribe will send out 30,000 troops this time."

“But they must be all young and strong, not even the old, weak, sick or disabled are allowed.

"I will also allocate another 3,000 sets of leather armor to you. You can select 3,000 of the most elite soldiers to arm them."

Upon hearing this, the Origami King showed a look of joy. Since it was a gift, it meant that Li Changge did not intend to take it back. This was a great gift.

Although leather armor is different from iron armor, it is relatively easier to manufacture, so its quantity is far greater than that of iron armor.

A slightly larger family may not have many sets of iron armor, but the number of leather armors may be at least dozens.

But to the Origami King, these three thousand leather armors are truly rare treasures. After all, the Northern Di are known as the elite in field combat, and in fact they are really wild. Most of the Northern Di people look like real savages, and leather armor is a bit too luxurious for them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"In this battle, Beidi will surely charge into the battle for Your Majesty."

After thinking for a while, Yuan added: "I will also study hard and help your majesty as soon as possible."

That's not necessary. Wouldn't it be counterproductive for you to give me bad ideas?
Li Changge asked Yuan to study just to pollute her with culture. After all, he couldn't bear to eat anything that was too serious. Even Mr. Dong, who was jokingly called an illiterate, at least knew how to read.

"Don't be too happy yet, I have conditions." "Ah? A whip or a candle?"

When the Origami King heard that Li Changge had conditions, he subconsciously thought of that aspect.

For this reason, the Origami King gritted his teeth and decided to go all out for the three thousand sets of leather armor, no matter what method he used.

Your Majesty is nicknamed Emperor Fuyi. Today, let Your Majesty enjoy the feeling of suppressing the barbarians.

However, facing the origami king Li Changge who had wrong ideas, he just rolled his eyes and said:
"What are you thinking about? I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"You can give these three thousand elite armored soldiers a name and make them their own camp. Although they will still be under your command after this battle, but..."

"In this battle, you need to let them charge forward and make some contributions. After this battle, I will use this as a reward to grant them the status and household registration of Qian people."

"I want to set an example for Beidi to fully integrate into Daqian. Do you understand?"

The Origami King blinked when he heard this, feeling a little complicated.

During this period, she read a lot of books and understood many things that she didn't understand before.

Li Changge's move is undoubtedly to completely integrate the blood of Beidi into Daqian, although there is still some difference in appearance between the two.

But this is not a problem. The two ethnic groups living on the same land are not hostile to each other, and intermarriage is a fairly fast process.

It may not be obvious at the beginning, but after a few decades it will be like you are in me and I am in you.

By then, Beidi will undoubtedly live a better life, but what about Yuan? Will Beidi still need an origami king to lead them?
Li Changge saw Yuan's expression and tried to persuade her, "Don't you understand? The tribal king is a thing of the past."

"In the past, the Northern Di lived in the Gobi Desert. Their hardships made them desperately need a strong king to lead them."

"But now the king is a thing of the past. They don't need a second faith besides me in the land of Daqian."

"Yuan'er, you will have to give up this identity sooner or later."

"Of course, I will compensate you accordingly."

"If you want to stay in the palace, how about I give you the status of Imperial Concubine?"

"She can be on par with An Xinlin, and her status is even higher than that of Pang Xun'er."

"If you still want to lead troops outside, I will issue an edict in a few days to give you the position of General of the Central Army."

"The Northern Di Army is still under your command, but you cannot have both military and political power. You must give up some things."

Li Changge's sincerity was great, and it could even be said that the treatment was very preferential. No matter which path you chose, there were no pitfalls and the benefits were real.

Perhaps because of his alien identity, Yuan saw no hope of usurping power, so Yuan's overall behavior was very well behaved.

She had no desire for things that she could not covet, and she was willing to work hard and protect a little girl when Li Changge assigned her to do so.

It can be said that even if she has no merit, she has worked hard, and Li Changge cannot treat her badly.

After hearing this, Yuan thought about it for a moment and replied, "I'm not good at leading troops, so I'd better stay in the palace."
