"I know you all are unwilling to go to Taiyuan now," the Prince spoke, "because the great battles along the way have completely worn out your patience, making you feel that this battle is unwinnable, and even if won, the credit has nothing to do with you.
"But!
"Please think about it, our brothers, dear friends, and relatives, who are within Taiyuan City right now, are all our fellow citizens of Great Qi!
"I promise you, after saving Taiyuan, all soldiers will be rewarded, and for those who fall in battle, triple compensation will be sent to their families!
"I also promise you, from today onwards, our military men of our dynasty will no longer be the soft persimmons that anyone can squeeze; you all are the sharp blades of the Qi Dynasty, not only must you protect our country and homes, but also expand our borders!
"From this day forth, there will never again be any incompetent official who can ride atop our heads!
