The whole world is not the king's land, the land in this world is all Tang Dynasty, giving you a little is to give face, not to you is just right.

Li Gongbu is a smart man, so now Zhangxiong has become the strongest force among the Qiang people, and the long winter can still keep most of the tribe full and warm, and only Zhangxiong is the only one above the Qiang pond. Now that Li Gongbu is dead, Ma Ling only hopes that the people who have real power are also smart enough not to cause him trouble.

In the end, it is the little Dorje who will be the master, so even if there is a leader and ambition, it is not a big deal. As long as it does not endanger the throne of Dorje, one or two can be tolerated, and if anyone dares to covet the throne, then it is necessary to show thunderous means.

These situations are the most important things, and now that they have been understood, Ma Lan also has a bottom in his heart.

After the death of Li Gongpo, the leaders of Zhangxiong from all over the country arrived, including all the tribal leaders of Outer Zhangxiong, who had crossed the mountains and passed through the white rocky beach before Ma Lan to prepare for the new king of Zhangzhung to ascend to the throne. Throughout the kingdom of Zhangzhung, powerful people gathered here this winter.

Getting Dorje on the throne as soon as possible, and then guiding the Zhangzhung people across the mountains to expand into the fertile plains of the Indus River, is Ma Lu's plan now. Since the Xiangxiong leaders want to fight, then give them the opportunity to fight, but the place of the battle has to be demarcated for them. Anyway, it is going to expand to the land of Wutianzhu, let these Xiangxiong people explore the way, with the courage of the Qiang warriors, from the plateau like a flood straight down, Tianzhu people are afraid that it will be difficult to stop.

Since the last time he left Qiangtang, Ma Lu and these two henchmen have met for the first time. For the achievements made by the two on Qiangtang. Ma Lan was extremely satisfied.

The years of the year. The surrendered city became the commercial center of Qiangtang. There are also gradually some taxes, but for the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, in fact, the income obtained in Qiangtang is far from enough compared to the expenditure, the surrendered city is lonely on the plateau, the altitude is more than 4,000 meters, a large number of materials are transported from the west by Xinghu merchants, and it is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate who pays the bill. This is true of the materials used by the garrison, as well as the ordnance and food sold to the Qiang people. Crossing the Bingdaban once, the price can be doubled several times, those big caravans are unwilling to cross the Bingdaban desperately, taking the route of Shule into the Qiangtang through Bolu, but the price must also be treated equally, and it is still the price given to cross the Bingdaban. Compared to the money spent by the Metropolitan Protectorate to maintain this situation, the income from the surrendered city was not worth mentioning at all.

In order to change this situation, Cen Shen and Du Huan also thought of a lot of ways and sent them to Wai Zhangxiong to find the Se Se Gem Mine and lost some people, but there was no gain. Nothing else has worked. Economically, it completely relied on the blood transfusion of the Dadu Protectorate, and the biggest achievement was to provoke the Qiang civil war. The two of them are about this situation. In fact, he was not satisfied, but in Ma Lu's opinion, instigating the Qiang people's civil war was the most important thing, and compared to this credit, the money spent was not worth mentioning at all. No matter what the cost, it is worth it to weaken the Qiang tribe on the Qiangtang to the greatest extent and avoid the revival of this powerful tribal alliance.

In order to maintain the existence of the surrendered city on Qiangtang, it is necessary to continue to transfuse blood here, and this situation may continue for many years, but this is not a problem. Being able to solve the problem of the Qiang people on the plateau once and for all is definitely a good thing for Datang.

A few years have passed, and Du Huan, the son of the family, has become more and more sophisticated, and he is the master of Cen Shencen, who has made good poems, and has also become a real cadre. Master Cen has been in Anxi for many years, and his majestic and magnificent poems have moved Chang'an, and he has served as a staff member under the command of several Anxi capitals, but he has never been reused, which is actually related to his ability to do things, and he was not good at handling affairs at that time. However, after the two of them took charge on the plateau with Du Huan, Master Cen has been reborn and has truly become a godminister.

Biansai poetry has done less, which is naturally a pity. But it's just a pity, Datang has one more cadre and one less poet, which is extremely worthwhile from Ma Lan's point of view.

Ma Lan himself is not good at daily affairs, so the preparation for Dorje's ascension to the throne this time is still left to the two of them. Ma Lu simply made some requests, and the rest was left to the two of them.

After determining this, Ma Lan and the two went down to the city, and the two went to prepare for the ceremony of Dorje's proclamation as king. Little Dorje and Princess Zhangzhung followed them, and King Zhangzhung's palace was in the city, where they lived from then on.

However, the tallest building in the surrendered city was not the Zhangzhung Kingdom, but the Shogun's Palace.

The General's Mansion is the residence of Ma Lu, when the surrendered city was established, it was built together with the Kingdom of Zhangxiong, and it was built higher than the palace of King Zhangxiong, which is the meaning of Ma Lu. The purpose is naturally to hope that Li Gongbu will not forget that he can successfully restore the country by relying on the Tang Dynasty, and only by continuing to rely on the Tang Dynasty can his kingdom continue.

This general's mansion is a symbol of the power of the Tang Dynasty in the surrendered city. After Ma Lan left Qiangtang, there was no one living here. There is only one real general in Anxi, and that is Ta Ma Ling Ma Renjie, and as for the others, they are not qualified to live here.

Ma Lan led his soldiers to slowly gallop towards the General's Mansion, and the banner belonging to him was held high, looking extremely flamboyant. There were quite a few Zhangxiong people in the city, and after recognizing Ma Luan's banner, they cheered loudly.

The Zhangxiong people are naturally illiterate, but after the first battle of the surrendered city, the concept that Ma Lu is the protector of the law under the command of Xin Rao Miwo has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the Zhangxiong people have remembered the banner of Ma Lu. The Protector God of War appeared here again, naturally the Guardian Elephant Male came, and these people were naturally extremely happy.

This title was actually imposed by Li Gongbu on Ma Lan. In the first battle of the surrendered city, Mi Xue led people to use gunpowder in the tent of Ji De Zuzan, and the thunderous sound made the soldiers who came from Luo extremely shocked, Li Gongbu did not know Ma Lu's plan in advance, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately told the Zhangxiong soldiers that Ma Lan was the ancestor of the god of war under Xin Rao Miwo, and was using the divine thunder to punish some cavalry, and then the Zhangxiong soldiers shouted the news loudly in the dark night, and at the same time, the morale of the soldiers under the command of Ji De Zuzan became extremely depressed.

In fact, when he reached a certain status, he probably didn't believe in religion, and Li Gongpo was such a person, although he gave Ma Lan a big hat of the Bon Protector of the God of War Patriarch, it was impossible for him to believe in it. At that time, he was ready to lead the Zhangxiong people to convert to the Buddha, and as the king of Zhangxiong, he was the leader of the Bon religion. For people like him, secular power is the most important thing, and religion is nothing more than something that can be played with in the palm of his hand, and can be discarded at any time for the sake of power.

There are many such people, and it is not uncommon for any religion anywhere. Like the Persian Dekhgans in Khorasan, when the cannibals had to collect a religious tax, they were devout Muslims, and when the cannibals left, they became the people of Ahura again. Of course, their belief in Ahura is actually quite doubtful.

Li Gongbu stuffed this big hat, in fact, it killed two birds with one stone, one was to boost his own morale, shook the morale of the army of Jide Zuzan, and the other was to forcibly link Ma Lu and the Zhangxiong clan together. For Ma Luan, it can be said that he was not satisfied with Li Gongpo's move at the beginning, but Li Gongpot is dead, and now he has come to the city to accept the throne for Dorje to become king, to play his own banner with great fanfare, and also to win the hearts of the Xiangxiong people. After all, it was not long before the Zhang-zhung people were driven out of their homeland and the southern expedition began.

The name of the protector god of war under the command of Xinrao Miwo is extremely loud, and it is definitely not covered, and most of the Zhangxiong people in the city are ordinary people, and these people are more devout to the belief in Bon, much more pious than those cunning leaders. As for the leaders who gathered here, with the support of these ordinary elephant males, Ma Lan didn't need to care about what those guys thought.

"The God of War Ancestor is back! The God of War Patriarch is back! ”

"The Protector of the God of War Patriarch is back, we are blessed!"

In the cold air, the red-faced Qiang people cheered loudly, knelt on the ground reverently, and bowed respectfully to Ma Lu.

The group walked slowly in the surrendered city, Ma Luan had a gentle smile on his face, and kept nodding to the elephant males on both sides of the road. Gao Qianqian and Yang Youniang followed behind him, they were both here for the first time, looking at this magnificent city seemed quite novel, but they only felt a little funny about Ma Lan's god-like performance, of course, no one would show it on their faces.

After a short journey, it took half an hour, and when Ma Lan walked to the gate of the General's Mansion, the news that the Protector of the God of War under Xin Rao Miwo had returned to Qiangtang had spread throughout the city.

Such fanfare is to stabilize people's hearts. When Li Gongpo died, the throne was ascended by the little Dorje, and the orphans and widows were the most likely to be coveted for power, and if one of the leaders was not devout enough to Bon and suddenly arose to covet the throne, then there would be bloodshed. This time, Shangqiangtang did not bring a large army, and the strength in his hands was actually not enough, so he acted like this.

Of course, if you really fight, you still have to rely on the strength at hand, and now doing this, Ma Lan is just a temporary idea, and it is just a matter of excitement, not planned in Anxi.

Since Ma Lan went down to Qiangtang, no one lives in the general's mansion, but there are still people who take care of it, and it is more and more Qiang girls who are responsible for taking care of and cleaning the general's mansion.

Of course, although they are nominally maids, they are actually specially selected by the two henchmen for General Ma. They all know Ma Lan's temperament, and they also know what type General Ma likes to be, and these Qiang girls who appeared in the general's mansion also made Ma Lan's eyes shine.

Obviously, Du Huan and Cen Shen did put a lot of effort into it, and it was not easy to pick out such characters from the Qiang people. (To be continued......)
