Chapter 225: Engagement
Looking at Jiang Yunsong, who was standing straight in front of him, Zilong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
I persuaded this man to come down from the mountain, and at first it was just to settle a senseless dispute! I never thought that this man could be so faithful to himself because of this!
At that moment, Zilong was full of agitation, and after a long time, he said: "Brothers, you are good! We have won this battle, thanks to the sacrifices of your brothers, and now it is time for me to take you home!"
"Oh! go home, go home!" The soldiers of the Ming Army were affirmed by the commander, and when they heard that they could go home, they couldn't help but be happy, and they raised their arms and shouted.
The tribal army under the mountain did not know why the Ming soldiers on the mountain cheered, but since the Ming soldiers cheered, they couldn't help but join in the cheers.
This cheer contained the past of the reign of the Heavenly King Sect, and the hearts of many tribal warriors were stirred.
Joining this magnificent battle to overthrow the Heavenly King faction that had ruled the grassland for twenty years was enough to tell his descendants what a hero he was.
Suddenly, the small hill was plunged into a sea of cheers, and a ray of sunlight slowly pierced the dark sky and came to this land, as if to indicate that the darkness had come and the dawn was coming.
The post-war work was tedious, but fortunately, Zilong had a smart confidante like Wan'er to give advice on the side, and a shrewd ally like Dai Qin to support him.
There were even 30,000 troops in attendance! The post-war work was finally carried out in an orderly manner.
First of all, Zilong buried all the fallen soldiers except the Kaiming Army in the Daqingshan Pass behind the Tumo River, and erected a tall stone tablet here, inscribed the deeds of this rebellion against the Heavenly King faction, as well as the names of the fallen soldiers.
Fortunately, because of the help of Zilong and other masters, and the cooperation of Dai Sen Dayi, except for the more casualties in the hill, in fact, there were not many people killed in total.
The 30,000 army fought, and in the end, in addition to more than half of the casualties of the Ming army, only the Beji people lost 200 people, and the total losses of other tribal warriors were only about 3,000 people, which was a rare victory.
Second, there is the issue of prisoners of war! Zilong held a grand ceremony of celebration and a ceremony to mourn the victims.
It is also mandatory for all tribes to participate. Even the leaders of those prisoner-of-war tribes had to rush to the stone monument of the Daqingshan Pass and kneel down to confess!
At this time, the grassland was already dominated by Zilong, and the three major forces combined to occupy the throne of the ruler instead of the Heavenly King faction.
Where did the leaders of the major grassland tribes dare to disobey the orders of the new master, they rushed to Tumochuan under Daqing Mountain within three days and joined the congratulatory ceremony and memorial ceremony.
Under the silent observation of 30,000 soldiers, all the grassland leaders officially recognized Zilong as the new leader of the various forces in this grassland, and swore allegiance to the new leader.
Seeing Zilong sitting on a temporary high platform, being worshiped by dozens of clan leaders, King An and Master Wuxian in the distance chatted slowly.
"Haha! I don't want this prodigal son of the rivers and lakes to come to this point, I'm really happy and surprised!" King An watched Zilong accept the worship of thousands of people, and had mixed feelings for a while.
"Amitabha, Lord Wang, Zilong can have this achievement, and it is inseparable from your cultivation!" Master Wuxian said slowly.
"I don't dare to take credit for this! After this big victory, I want Zilong and Wan'er to get engaged here, what do you think, master?" said King An meaningfully.
"This is the prince's family matter, the prince is in charge, there is no need to ask the poor monk!" Master Wuxian frowned slightly, and then said slowly.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it!" King An smiled lightly and said, "Now Zilonggui is the lord of the grassland, and he has much more real power than me, a prince who has no real name!
"The prince is in love!" Master Wuxian smiled lightly, but didn't say anything more. King An laughed directly.
The ceremony lasted for a day, and Zilong officially became the new master of the grassland! The tribal army, which was originally less than 30,000, was also filled with soldiers by various tribes. This army of 30,000 tribes officially became Zilong's direct subordinates.
Zilong also directly threw this complex army to Jiang Yunsong's command, Jiang Yunsong unceremoniously took office directly, and a group of brothers under him, everyone was promoted and became commanders.
And after Dai Qin officially became the new master of the Hetao, he handed over the command of more than 10,000 disciples of the Heavenly King Sect that he inherited from Dai Sen Dari to Zilong.
Zilong resigned several times, but he was unsuccessful, so he had no choice but to take it, this army was also incorporated into Jiang Yunsong's command system, Jiang Yunsong became the strongest person in the grassland for a while, but Zilong was extremely relieved of him.
In order to repay Dai Qin, Zilong put a large part of the governance rights of the grassland into Dai Qin's hands, and Dai Qin turned into a general existence of the general manager of the grassland.
As for Hu Dulu, Zilong has established a tribal alliance, and all the tribes will send representatives to join this alliance and vote on the affairs of the grassland. And Hu Dulu is the first leader of this alliance.
It's just that Hu Dulu is extremely shrewd, so naturally he won't be in the limelight, not to mention that he has already been abolished! So he directly proposed that Zilong be the leader of the alliance, and all the tribes were naturally happy and agreed to this proposal, so Zilong directly became the leader of the tribal alliance, and Hu Dulu became the deputy leader of the alliance.
However, in the end, Hu Dulu supported Gorouzi to become the deputy leader of the alliance on the grounds of being physically disabled, and officially accepted Gorouzi as his righteous son, and passed the position of the leader of the Beji people to Gorouzi.
For a time, the authority of the grassland was in the hands of four young people! The first was naturally Zilong, who was the leader of the various tribes of the grassland and the leader of the tribal alliance, and he had 40,000 troops in his hands to obey the order, so he was the real first person! The second was Jiang Yunsong, who held a strong army of 40,000 people, and although these 40,000 were from different tribes, under Jiang Yunsong's hands, he would definitely be able to become a strong army.
The third person is naturally Dai Qin, who is known as the head of the grassland! Zilong has already handed over a large part of the governance rights to Dai Qin. In Zilong's words, he himself is not familiar with grassland affairs, and it is better to leave these things to Daiqin.
Although he has only recently emerged, he is the new leader of the Beji people, the righteous son of Hu Dulu, and the deputy leader of the tribal alliance. Although Zilong is the leader of the alliance, many times, he does not participate in the decisions of the alliance, and more often, it is Gorouzi, the deputy leader of the alliance, who holds the tribal alliance meeting.
Under the command of the four young leaders, the grassland has moved in a new direction, and it is no longer oppressed by any sect or force, and it is really a happy situation.
Just after the major tribes were summoned and the first tribal alliance meeting was held, another day passed, but this day was also a big day! Because on this day, Xu Zilong, the new owner of the Hetao grassland, was officially engaged to Miss Wan'er, the daughter of King Daming'an.
As soon as they experienced the trauma of the war, they brought happy events again, whether it was the martial arts masters of the Central Plains or the tribes of the grassland, they were all extremely happy! Only Xie Qing and Asli were depressed!
That night, on top of the Tumochuan camp, Zilong led all the people present to hold a grand bonfire party. Everyone was very happy, and the warriors of the steppe tribe gathered together, drank, wrestled, and were so lively. The martial arts people of the Central Plains also joined in the fun of the grassland tribe warriors, and gradually became one with the grassland warriors.
Because Zilong's mother-in-law Ma Fengyue is still in the Dingguo Gong camp, only Gu Xiaotian is the elder of Zilong. Zilong is engaged, but Gu Xiaotian is three points happier than Zilong! He has an unrequited love for Ye Wuyan in his life, but he has no queen!
The apprentice Zilong who received it is really a disciple and a friend. Zilong was able to get engaged to such a gentle and lovely girl as Wan'er, and he was happy in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that this was just an engagement ceremony, I was afraid that he would be eager to make a big deal to express the excitement in his heart. King An was also very happy, Zilong was he watched step by step from a cloth-clothed ranger to the current uncrowned king of the grassland, this experience in King An's opinion, but it was inevitably a little shocking.
And the most important thing is that Zilong is really good to Wan'er! Since Shaolin and Wan'er met, Zilong has always remembered Wan'er in his heart. After meeting Wan'er again, he willingly threw himself into the palace, starting from the commander of the guard department! You must know that the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes hate the kind of people who are in the public gate the most, not to mention that Zilong still joined the palace of the feudal king.
Later, Zilong and Wan'er fell in love and gradually complained to each other, and these King An were like mirrors in their hearts. The most important thing, and what satisfies King An the most, is Zilong's single-mindedness towards Wan'er! Xie Qing and Asli are devoted to Zilong, how can people like King An not know! But for Wan'er, Zilong can cleanly cut off the relationship with the two daughters, which is really commendable!
If the engagement ceremony is fully organized, it is actually quite complicated. The whole step alone, from beginning to end, is no less than a dozen. For example, what to worship ancestors, departure, Nacai, serving sweet tea, pressing tea pots, stepping on round stools, wearing rings, lighting cannons, engagement banquets, return gifts, etc.!
It's just that now that he is in the grassland, not only Zilong, but also King An and Wan'er, they can't prepare for these many etiquettes. Second, now that the war has just been suspended, Zilong does not want to disturb the grassland herdsmen too much and increase their burden.
Therefore, after Zilong, Gu Xiaotian and King An discussed, everything changed from Jane! Zilong changed the ceremony of worshipping ancestors to a sacrifice in front of the Daqingshan stele, and then many subsequent processes were also done one by one.
