Chapter 147: The Lanlu tribe surrendered and became an autonomous vassal state
The cavalry would immediately switch to another musket and start firing alternately.
Riders came up one after another, and the guards around the Third Prince fell to the ground one after another.
How terrible!
Although the Third Prince had heard of the power of muskets, he had never imagined them to be so terrifying.
After every gunshot, a brave prairie warrior fell to the ground.
The riding skills of this group of people from the Great Zhou are not as good as those from the Northern Mang, but they have such terrible weapons that are enough to make up for the gap in riding skills.
Run away!
Now the Third Prince also realized the crisis, and he led his team to flee madly!
But how could Li Guangmao give him a chance?
The lancers of the Great Zhou were like tigers, following the Third Prince closely and not giving him any chance.
The two sides chased each other for a while, and finally the Third Beile's small team was surrounded by Li Guangmao.
"Who are you?"
The third prince asked Li Guangmao with disheveled hair.
"The prince of Mobei, Li Guangmao!"
The Third Prince then said, "It's not a loss to die in your hands!"
Then, the scheming Third Prince Qinuchi drew his sword and committed suicide.
Holding the head of the third prince, Li Guangmao returned to the Lanlu tribe.
The head of the Third Beile was placed in front of the bodies of Qihar and his son.
The entire Lanlu tribe cried bitterly.
Then, under the guidance of Taoist Master Youran's disciples, Qihar and his son were buried with great ceremony using Taoist rituals.
The entire Lanlu tribe immediately surrendered to Li Guangmao.
Request to join Mobei Kingdom!
Of course Li Guangmao did not dare to act on his own regarding this news and immediately informed the King of Mobei.
The King of Mobei was also shocked.
The territory of the Lanlu tribe is about the same size as that of the Mobei Kingdom, and the population is also almost the same.
So the King of Mobei immediately sent an envoy to Kyoto to report to the emperor how to deal with the surrendered Lanlu tribe.
The messenger moved quickly and quickly crossed the Luzhou Mountains.
At this time, the Beijing-Luzhou Railway was already open.
The envoy immediately took a train from Luzhou to Kyoto.
When the envoy arrived in Kyoto, only one day had passed since the great victory.
The Beijing-Luzhou Railway completely shortened the distance between Da Zhou and Mobei Kingdom.
In the past, messengers had to travel for at least seven days and seven nights to deliver news to Kyoto.
Now it only takes two days by train to deliver the news to Kyoto.
At this time, Li Tian was still in the royal garden, playing with Gu Qianqian.
"Your Majesty, the victory report from the North has arrived!"
Hearing these words, Li Tian shuddered all over.
Isn't it? Come again!
Isn't it said that Li Cheng is a coward and afraid of death?
How come there was no military achievement for decades, so how come there was a sudden great victory?
Li Tian immediately asked, "Where did the victory report come from?"
"Great victory in Mobei!"
Hearing that it was Mobei, Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was Mobei, then it would be fine.
For the great victory of the Sixth Prince, it would be better to reward him directly.
The messenger who brought the victory came and told the story of the great victory of the Lanlu tribe.
The prince of Mobei killed the third prince sent by Qinuchi, and the entire Lanlu tribe surrendered to the Great Zhou.
Li Tian took a breath of cold air. When did his cousin become so capable?
At this time, Gu Qianqian said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Lanlu tribe was able to surrender, all thanks to Your Majesty!"
Li Tian frowned: "What does it have to do with me? The Lanlu tribe was conquered by the prince of Mobei."
Gu Qianqian said: "I have been to the Lanlu tribe."
"Your Majesty sent Taoist priests to preach, and now the entire Lanlu tribe believes in Taoism."
"Your Majesty brought the Lanlu tribe to the side of the Great Zhou through religion and trade."
"Isn't this surrender a natural outcome?"
Li Tian was confused and motioned for Gu Qianqian to continue.
Gu Qianqian recounted the story of meeting Taoist Master Youran and seeing him preaching on the grassland.
The entire Lanlu tribe was also tied together with the trade of the Great Zhou. This is how Luzhou used trade to tie down the grassland.
I did all this?
Li Tian suddenly remembered that it seemed that he was the one who agreed to let Taoist Master Youran go to preach.
The decision to trade with Beimang was also made by Li Tian.
and many more!
This is not what I meant!
Li Tian wanted to cry but had no tears, but the system still attributed the credit for the obedience of the Lanlu tribe to him.
[The Lanlu tribe surrenders to the Great Zhou! ]
[Great Zhou national fortune +6000 points! ]
Gan ah!
How come the national fortune is rising again!
No, it will ruin the country’s destiny!
Li Tian asked at this time: "Lady Mei, to whom do you think the population and land of the Lanlu tribe should be given?"
Gu Qianqian immediately said: "This is a national affair, I dare not say too much."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"I have traveled on the grasslands before. The people there are not convinced by each other."
"Every time we fight for water and livestock, it's a life-and-death fight."
"The Lanlu tribe's surrender does not mean they are truly loyal to the Great Zhou."
"Perhaps it is a stopgap measure for the Great Zhou to become powerful, and it is possible to backstab the Great Zhou at any time."
"So they need brave people to be their leaders. With strong people suppressing them, they will not dare to rebel."
Li Tian suddenly smiled and said, "Okay! I know what to do!"
Li Tian immediately said: "Someone come!"
Xiao Xinzi knelt down: "I'm here!"
"I will order a meeting to be held in front of the palace. I want to discuss how to deal with the Lanlu tribe that surrendered after the great victory in Mobei!"
"I obey your Majesty!"
The person who presided over the meeting in front of the palace this time was Jia Renyi.
Tang Xiaoren went to the front line as an envoy.
The second assistant of the cabinet presides over the government affairs in the court.
Jia Renyi was originally the civil servant who knew Beimang best.
Jia Renyi introduced the situation of the Lanlu tribe, and then said:
"Your Majesty, the people of the grassland have always been subservient to the strong. If you use a conciliatory policy, you may not gain their loyalty."
Jia Renyi bowed and said: "The court should send capable officials to take charge of the Lanlu tribe!"
All the ministers nodded in agreement.
Li Tian looked at the ministers and said:
"I think otherwise!"
"The Lanlu tribe has just surrendered and they sent powerful officials over. What will the tribes that want to surrender think about that?"
"I feel that since the Lanlu tribe is truly willing to surrender, we should not disappoint the other tribes!"
"Let the Lanlu tribe govern itself!"
"Self-governance?" Jia Renyi looked at Li Tian in confusion.
Li Tian said: "Let the Lanlu tribe elect a new Khan themselves, I agree!"
"From now on, the Lanlu tribe will be a vassal state of the Great Zhou."
"Just pay tribute and pledge your loyalty on time!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked.
Li Tian continued, "It's settled! Tell the King of Mobei that before the election of a new Khan, the Crown Prince of Mobei, Li Guangmao, will take over."
"Elect a new Khan as soon as possible. From now on, Lanlu Kingdom will be like Mobei Kingdom, both vassal states of the Great Zhou!"
If Tang Xiaoren were here, he would definitely stand up and oppose it.
But Jia Renyi opened his mouth and swallowed it.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The imperial edict was sent to the Mobei Kingdom again by train.
At this time, Li Guangmao had already led his troops back.
"Father, has His Majesty's imperial edict arrived?"
