Sitting on the ground with the soldiers of Qianzi Camp.
At the beginning, everyone was a little cautious.
After all, Li Chengqian's identity is there.
He was not only the Prince of Qin personally named by Li Shimin, but also the eldest prince of the current dynasty.
The most important thing is that he is still the supreme commander of this army. .??.
Later, after Li Chengqian and Luo Ding'an joked a few words with each other.
Everyone relaxed and started chatting.
But this master is only a master of the Tang Dynasty.
The hundreds of old Turkic people seemed not to belong to this army.
All of them had their heads lowered, looking very unsociable.
Li Chengqian walked to the center, looked at the hundreds of old Turkic people and asked, "Why, don't you have anything to ask me?"
Hear what Li Chengqian said.
Some old Turkic people, look at me and I look at you.
Finally, one person mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, I have something to ask you. I don't know if I can ask you..."
"To talk freely means to speak freely."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."
"I want to say..."
The young Turkic soldier pondered for a long time.
Finally, he finally said: "The Tang Dynasty clearly agrees to our immigration to live in the land of the Tang Dynasty."
"Why do you still have to judge our nationality and position us as shorter than people from the Tang Dynasty?"
"If Datang doesn't want to accept us, they can let us return to the grassland. Why do we need to do this?"
This nationality theory is naturally good for the Tang people.
Let the people of the Tang Dynasty feel the pride of being the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Similarly, this will also make those grassland people who were later brought to the land of the Tang Dynasty by the northerners' southward migration policy feel humiliated.
Looking at the young soldier, Li Chengqian asked: "Why is it necessary to determine nationality? Is this difficult to understand?"
"It's hard to understand."
The young soldier seemed to have started talking. "This is the disrespect shown by the Tang Dynasty to us. If the Tang Dynasty did not regard us as one of its own, it would simply define us as slaves."
"Why bother to insult us with such harsh terms as nationality?"
"You think it's an insult?"
Li Chengqian smiled.
"certainly."
The young soldier looked at Li Chengqian with complicated eyes.
Li Chengqian sighed and said, "But I think this is preferential treatment."
"I won't talk about anything else, but I'll just talk about these people here. They have lived here for generations and served in the army for generations."
"Ask them if any of their ancestors died at the hands of your fathers and grandfathers."
"Ask them if they have any brothers who died at the hands of your brothers."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and pointed at Luo Ding'an and said, "Have you seen him? His arm was lost when he fought with your Turkic cavalry."
"You think it's an insult, but have you ever thought about how these people feel?"
"They are now willing to accept you and let you live on their land."
"They are now willing to accept you and give you the opportunity to become their brothers."
"If you still think this is an insult, then you might as well think about how you treated enemy prisoners before?"
"Will you give him good food and drink? Will you give him land to cultivate? Will you give him a chance to become his own person?"
Li Chengqian continued: "I decided on nationality not to belittle you, but to give you a goal to strive for."
"For you to come to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I don't just want you to live a happy and happy life here."
"I want you to know that you have not yet fully integrated into the Tang Dynasty, a big family composed of tens of millions of families."
"Since you want to join us, you must stand shoulder to shoulder with us and bleed and sacrifice for our common country."
Li Chengqian pointed
Refers to those hundreds of people.
"If you don't regard yourself as a member of this country, why do you still ask us to treat you as one of our own?"
After hearing what Li Chengqian said.
The soldiers of the Qianzi camp, composed of more than a hundred old Turkic people, were stunned.
They all looked at Li Chengqian with complicated eyes, and then looked at the soldiers behind him.
It seems that they always think that they have been humiliated.
But I never thought that they were once enemies.
They had fought and risked their lives on the battlefield.
The people of the Tang Dynasty had shown the broadest tolerance to them and allowed them to live on their own land.
They were even given the opportunity to become Tang people.
But they are still complaining that the Tang people gave too little...
Facing the looks in the eyes of the other authentic Tang soldiers, some of the old Turkic people turned red in reaction.
Li Chengqian chuckled lightly: "Okay, that's it for now. If you don't understand, you can go to my house and ask me."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Cheng Huailiang came over with people holding various musical instruments.
Seeing these people, the soldiers of Qianzi Camp were a little confused.
What is your Highness doing?
Could it be that you want to sing for people like yourself?
Li Chengqian faced everyone and said: "You all know that I like singing, so I hope that my subordinates also like singing."
"Since I'm here today and I'm free, I'll teach you a song."
Everyone knows that Li Chengqian loves to sing.
And some people have heard it, such as Luo Ding'an, who heard it more than once.
Every time I am moved to tears.
Especially the catchy Chang'an Shangjing.
Even now when I think about it, that beautiful melody still surrounds my ears.
Of course, what impressed them more deeply than the melody was the lyrics.
But this time, Li Chengqian did not intend to sing these lyrical songs. Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked the group to start playing in the order rehearsed in advance.
The song Li Chengqian wants to teach them to sing is very simple.
It is also a very easy song to learn, but it will also become a very famous military song in the future.
A loud military bugle sounded.
The sonorous and powerful sound of the carillon accompanied it.
Li Chengqian sang loudly.
"If the motherland is invaded, a passionate man should strengthen himself."
"After drinking this bowl of hometown wine, the strong man will never return."
"The rolling Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River give me life and strength."
"Let the blood be dyed red, and the most beautiful flowers be sprinkled on my chest."
"The red flag is waving, the bugle is sounding, the sword is unsheathed, thunder and lightning flash."
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Move forward, move forward..."
Although he has a childish voice, he does his best to express the meaning of this song.
The lyrics of this song are simple and easy to understand.
When people listen to it, they can immediately feel the power contained in the lyrics.
Loud horn sound.
Geng's powerful carillon sound.
And the thrilling drum sound.
There are also sonorous and powerful lyrics.
This gave everyone present goosebumps.
Even after Li Chengqian left, some people couldn't help but get together and sing loudly.
…
Inside the palace.
Eunuch Zhou reported to Li Shimin what he saw and heard today.
To be honest, he was really shocked by Li Chengqian's song.
Not to mention him, Li Shimin was shocked after he sang this song with all his strength.
"If the motherland is invaded, a passionate man should strengthen himself."
"After drinking this bowl of hometown wine, the strong man will never return."
Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a strong man, once gone, he never comes back..."
