In the early morning, the late autumn frost hit those plants, and everything seemed a little bleak, and the people of the Hetao tribe finally came, but there was not a trace of goods on their carts, and they only held weapons with a metallic light in their hands, and they looked murderous, as if they were determined to die.

"Xiaoqing, what can we do about this? Shall we fight with them?" This king had already regarded Li Xiaoqing as his think tank at this time, and he looked at Li Xiaoqing as if he wanted to seek Li Xiaoqing's opinion.

Li Xiaoqing pondered for a moment and said, "These people came all the way here, the women and children in the village were taken away, it is estimated that they must not have eaten, let the villagers prepare good wine and meat, and then let our village masters take their women to bring the helpers in and enter our village, aren't these people just the meat on our cutting board to cut as much as they want?"

"I'm afraid this won't work, right? The chief of their Hetao tribe is an old stubborn, you have to think of a trick to deal with him!"

"Arrest it, if you still resist, it's a big deal to kill!" Li Xiaoqing said with a murderous aura, which made people feel a convincing sense of deterrence.

It seems that all this is nothing in Li Xiaoqing's eyes, and Li Xiaoqing's calmness makes these people feel at ease.

When watching a group of men holding the hands of the girls of their tribe and happily going out to greet them, the men of the Hetao tribe did not understand what was going on. Li Xiaoqing walked to the front from the crowd and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and invite your mother's family to the village!" After Li Xiaoqing finished speaking, the first to go to the front was not the men from Heishan Village, but the women of the Hetao tribe, and these women also had a lot of grievances to tell their families.

But even so, Li Xiaoqing estimated the temperament of the Hetao tribe, and Li Xiaoqing guessed that he could naturally imagine it. Those old people saw that the girls in their own family were already married, even if the girls in their own family might not be happy or have some small problems, but the water spilled by the married girls, these mothers' families still have to persuade this gang to live alone!

This is really the case, these people have eaten with the people of this Black Mountain Village, and these guys have begun to talk so much, this Li Xiaoqing feels that these people really don't hold grudges, this is really "meeting and laughing and enmity"! This Li Xiaoqing didn't expect that the matter of this group of people was so simple, and Li Xiaoqing specially arranged for the unmarried girls of the Black Mountain tribe to serve wine and food to the men of the Hetao.

Seeing that the warriors of his village were gradually reduced to the gentle township, when the chieftain and the leader of the Hetao tribe began to prepare to take their warriors back, Li Xiaoqing stopped the two of them.

"Two, don't be busy leaving! I think we'd better make it clear!"

"Well, who are you?" The head of the Hetao tribe took out a long knife and put it on Li Xiaoqing's lower abdomen.

Li Xiaoqing lowered his head and looked at the long knife, smiled, and said, "Two, sometimes you have to understand that those who follow the trend of the times prosper, and those who go against the trend die." Li Xiaoqing raised his hand slightly, and the two of them saw an arrow flying directly from a high place and fell directly at the feet of the two, and the two looked up, but saw Li Xiaoqing picking up the arrow in front of the two of them and hiding it in his sleeve, and then said, "Shhh Li Xiaoqing said that he saw that the long knife of the old man's head was about to pierce into Li Xiaoqing's lower abdomen at once, Li Xiaoqing dodged sideways, and the arrow in his hand suddenly pierced the thigh of the old man, and then twisted his hand vigorously, and the old man's head and body twitched vigorously. The king also walked out from behind, and there were more than a dozen strong men behind him, which was quite scary.

"You're enough! what do you want?" the chief looked at Li Xiaoqing with his old friend in his arms, and he felt that this young man who was limping up seemed to be much more difficult to deal with than the king's head.

"The green wolf skin is divided into half for us, and the food is divided into half for you, only in this way can our two tribes spend the whole winter in Heavenly Punishment City, otherwise it will be really difficult to survive this winter with the ability of our two tribes!" At this time, Li Xiaoqing didn't speak again, just looked at the two old men in their forties and fifties.

"Well, lad, what the hell do you think?"

"Only by joining forces can we succeed, our Black Mountain tribe only has seven hundred people, and your Hetao tribe only has more than seven hundred, but we together are more than a thousand people, and more than a thousand people in Heavenly Punishment City is a big tribe that can have command, and the lives of our warriors will not be manipulated in their hands by those Heavenly Punishment City warriors who are above the top. This Li Xiaoqing also knows that the most people who die every winter when defending the city are their so-called "wild warriors", but they sacrifice so many warriors to defend the city, and they still can't get the people in the city to treat each other these days.

Li Xiaoqing looked at these two and seemed to be a little moved, which he couldn't help but think, "What does command mean in your own hands, you should know!"

"But at this time, the two tribes will merge into one, who shall we listen to?" The chief frowned and looked at Li Xiaoqing, but Li Xiaoqing smiled at him and said, "If there is something to discuss, whoever has a good idea, listen to whom!" Li Xiaoqing looked at the daze eyes of this group of people, but Li Xiaoqing was a little proud, there was a reason why he decided so, if he wanted one person to dominate, it was estimated that the people of the other tribe would inevitably rebel, Li Xiaoqing felt that it was better to make this decision-making power public.

Li Xiaoqing was modeled after the "Eight Kings Discussion of Politics" system in the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, giving the chiefs and leaders of these tribes a certain amount of decision-making power, but Li Xiaoqing saw that the chiefs of these tribes did not have any systematic arrangements for decision-making, and Li Xiaoqing estimated that he himself was the decision-maker of this "parliament". Li Xiaoqing found that the two tribes in this place were like the Manchus and the Mongols, they were both nomadic tribes, gradually ruled some of the surrounding areas, and carried out a half-hunting and half-herding life, and would migrate to the city every winter, and return to the city after spring to grab territory.

The inter-tribal problem is twofold, on the one hand, to deal with the rebellion against the hostile group, and on the other hand, to unite the various tribes within the tribe to resist the tide of beasts in winter. Their wealth and poverty, the current situation of their lives, and the balance of political power determined that these backward nomads would always depend on the agricultural peoples in the city. Li Xiaoqing had read in books that more than 300 years ago, the Mongols had the "Briltai Conference", and Nurhachi created a "Eight Kings Council", which was essentially a very small number of royal relatives and nobles jointly agreed on some military affairs, including the election of the heir to the throne (khan).

In Li Xiaoqing's eyes, the chiefs and leaders of these tribes are those royal relatives, he only needs to give these people a certain amount of evidence, he can make the two tribes temporarily united, and then through each other's marriage and familiarity, the two tribes will become a tribe. Li Xiaoqing also thought that if Huang Taiji had not transferred the Eight Princes' Deliberation to the centralized power, and Kangxi had not destroyed Wu Sangui, King of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, King of Jingnan, perhaps the Qing Dynasty would eventually be able to transition from the Eight Princes to the constitutional monarchy.

Li Xiaoqing's proposal was quickly accepted by these two, the old leader of the Hetao tribe also specially bandaged the wound, and took the more prestigious people in the clan to form a decision-making department with Li Xiaoqing, this decision-making department is only ten people, but Li Xiaoqing still feels that it is not enough, and let the most capable women in the two tribes participate, because Li Xiaoqing also knows that after the men in this tribe go hunting, the entire rear is handed over to women and old people, so Li Xiaoqing feels that it is necessary to listen to their opinions.
