"Your Grace, the Tang family was annihilated by an army of a different ethnicity!" Zhou Ping'an recalled the scene of his family's destruction, the screams of his clansmen still ringing in his ears, hate evident on his face.
"His late Majesty had granted the Tianlang Kingdom as a fief to the King of the Northern Defense, yet the land was populated by people of a different ethnicity, and there were remnants of the defeated Tianlang soldiers roaming about; even the King of the Northern Defense's own clansmen were unwilling to settle there."
"To establish his foundation, the King of the Northern Defense drove the people of Daqing to migrate to the grasslands."
"At first, using the guise of land distribution, he enticed refugees to take up the journey, but as the pace was too slow and the numbers too few, he collaborated with local officials to traffic humans."
