Chapter 32: The Northwest Settles
readx;
The meaning of the envoy was very simple, that is, to let Yuan Mudong take these two things that he had just used to scare him to scare his people, and use this naked terror to force his people to agree to start an incident as originally planned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Mudong has always governed the clan with leniency and benevolence, and his behavior is very much like a priest and doctor, and letting him intimidate the clansmen is tantamount to ruining his image! As we all know, it is difficult to establish such a thing as an image, and it is easy to destroy, if he really does this, his reputation will probably be lost!
The messenger was also a scholar of etiquette, seeing Yuan Mudong wearing a scribe's robe, a square scarf on his head, and an elegant three-fold long beard on his chin, if he didn't look at the black face like the bottom of the pot, he was completely no different from a priest, and then think of his name, you would know what kind of person this person was.
Seeing that after Yuan Mudong heard his words, his face was full of anger, and his hands were still trembling, and the envoy thought about it simply, and he knew why the other party was angry.
"No, Chief Yuan, you gather your henchmen and let me convince them."
Yuan Mudong was taken aback, and asked a little suspiciously: "Your envoy, can I know what you plan to do?" ”
The messenger did not answer, but pointed to the two things.
Yuan Mudong suddenly became angry, and he stared at the envoy with wide eyes: "Is there no other way?" ”
"That's the best way!" The messenger blinked.
"Nonsense!" Yuan Mudong categorically denied.
"How can it be nonsense?" The envoy smiled and said, "You orcs have always been fearful of power and not virtuous, and you will not be grateful at all for only benevolence, only great strength and terrifying threats can make you obedient, right?" ”
"That's the other beasts, not our apes!" Yuan Mudong said angrily.
It's just that the envoy didn't think so, he walked in front of Yuan Mudong in a few steps, looked directly at the other party with his eyes, and said: "Believe me, if you don't really live in the eastern country for hundreds of years and completely integrate into the civilized environment, you are still barbarian beasts who are afraid of power and do not have virtue!" ”
"You dare to slander my clan like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?!" Yuan Mudong was completely enraged, and said murderously.
"If you want to kill, you will kill!" The envoy waved his hand casually, "Those who die for the empire can go to heaven, but you have to think carefully, how much you and your people will have to pay for killing me!" ”
Yuan Mudong finally relented, he lowered his head, and said a little dejectedly: "We can't afford to kill one person and wipe out the whole clan." ”
"Just understand, go and call your men now!" The messenger said with a smile.
……
Because of the length of the article, the process of this "persuasion" will not be narrated, everyone only needs to know that it is very hot, and it is enough for the messenger to almost lose his life, but the final result is the same as the envoy expected, although 10,000 are unwilling, but the main generals of the ape clan finally accepted the harsh conditions of the disobedient.
The envoy did not rush back, but stayed in Puzhou City and experienced a great drama of cannibalism among the beasts!
Long before the soldiers came to the city, more than 20,000 other beast troops in Puzhou City were placed under house arrest in the barracks by the ape clan for various reasons, and they could only practice, eat, and sleep in the camp every day, and they couldn't get out at all.
Therefore, when the soldiers did not come to the city and sent envoys to "negotiate" the conditions with Yuan Mudong, they were completely in the dark, so after the conditions were "negotiated", the tragedy happened without suspense!
The ape clan put laxatives in the food sent to the other beast troops, and the completely defenseless beast soldiers vomited and diarrhea frantically after eating~ At this time, taking advantage of the enemy's inability to fight, the ape soldiers under the command of Yuan Mudong rushed into the camp, and killed people when they saw them, and it only took one afternoon to complete the clean-up work very efficiently.
A total of 23,191 other Orc soldiers were killed in this battle, while the Ape Clan's own losses were only more than 200 people, which was the result of adding both minor and serious injuries, and if only the battle dead and crippled were counted, it was actually only eighty-six.
For such a "heavy" loss, the envoy expressed his concern to Yuan Mudong, but Yuan Mudong did not appreciate it at all, because the concerned smile on the envoy's face was full of irony no matter how you looked at it......
"Your Majesty is really wise, you can get such good surrender conditions only for this price, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" The messenger whispered in his heart.
Now that the clean-up work was complete, the envoy had no reason to stay in Puzhou any longer, and after negotiating the time of surrender with Yuan Mudong, the envoy left Yuan Mudong that night and returned to the imperial military camp outside the city.
The next day.
Yuan Mudong was like Yun Chongming, who had surrendered to Gongde Duchi, bare-chested, holding a lamb in his hand, opening the city gate, taking his subordinates out of the city, and surrendering to Buchen.
Buchen waited outside the city early in the morning, and when he saw Yuan Mudong surrendering according to the agreement, he didn't put up any big shelf, and walked in front of him on the opposite side, and when he was about to kneel, he held the other party up.
"Yuan Mudong, your sincerity has been received, there is no need to kneel, get up!" Buchen said gently.
"Sinner, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Mudong hurriedly made a gesture of gratitude.
Buchen knew that Yuan Mudong didn't make this gesture out of sincerity, but he didn't have the heart to worry about the other party, but said: "From today on, the ape clan is the people of my Central Empire, I hope that you can have a clear understanding of the past crimes of aggression, and in the future, you will coexist with your compatriots in a friendly manner, unite as one, and become a member of the Chinese family as soon as possible." ”
"Sinners will do their best to return to His Majesty's trust!" Yuan Mudong bowed to the ground and said sincerely.
"Hmm." Buchen nodded, "Yuan Mudong, I have named you a baron in Selangor, with two hundred households and one hundred and fifty households." ”
"Chen Yuan Mudong Xie Your Majesty Heavenly Grace!" Yuan Mudong hurriedly pounced and knelt on the ground.
This time, if you don't have a minister, you won't stop it, and it's normal for nobles to bow down to their emperor when they are entitled, isn't it?
"Now that the empire is employing people, the punishment of Qing and the Qing clan will be recorded for the time being, and Qing Ke will continue to lead his clansmen to stay in Puzhou and guard this new land for the empire!" Buchen instructed, "However, the soldiers are in danger, and it is not appropriate for the Qing and the families of the Qing clan to continue to stay here, and they will be resettled in the customs on the same day, does the Qing have any opinions?" ”
Yuan Mudong immediately replied: "The minister has no objection. ”
It is not surprising that Yuan Mudong agreed so happily, it is a well-known thing that the grain and grass are not abundant, and the northwestern provinces have been in war for many years, and they have long been turned into a blank field, which is not suitable for garrisoning heavy troops at all, so it is normal for the minister not to garrison the army in Hexi Province, but to continue to appoint him as a general.
As for the relocation of family members, it is even simpler, since he has become a courtier for Buchen, or a feudal official, he must reassure Emperor Laozi, these family members are equivalent to hostages in the hands of Buchen, so that Yuan Mudong does not dare to regenerate his repeated thoughts.
But seriously, it is really doubtful how much binding force this hostage-taking method has on Yuan Mudong, you must know that Yuan Mudong in order to reassure Gong Deduchi, he also left a lot of family members in Bei'an City, but in order to take refuge in the court, he still sold his family members. If the news is transmitted back to Bei'an, the family members left behind by Yuan Mudong will all fall to the ground......
Buchen was a little uneasy, and instructed: "It's just Yuanqing, although I let you stay, you can't regard yourself as the emperor of Hexi Province, the people here are too harsh, as for the matter of grain, grass and military salaries, the former I can send officials from the Ministry of Agriculture to help you develop the army, and the latter, since you are working for the empire, this military salary will naturally be paid by the empire!" ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows." Yuan Mudong said respectfully.
"That's fine." Buchen smiled with satisfaction, grabbed Yuan Mudong's wrist, and pulled the other party into the barracks, "The empire is newly established, everything is waiting to be rebuilt, my affairs are very busy, it is already a matter here, then I will withdraw the army and return to China tomorrow, as for today, let's get drunk and rest!" ”
"I don't dare to ask for ears!" It was difficult to refrain from being gracious, and Yuan Mudong had to agree with Wen Crepe.
