Chapter 1430: Cooperation is the only way to survive

Seeing these tribal leaders coming over, the adults who were chatting privately also gathered over. Although this was a handover ceremony for Wang Decheng, it was the first time they had seen such a ceremony. Everyone had to come and take a look. When it's your turn, you can be considered to have experience. Of course, this experience may not be useful in another place.

"Old man Gbonta, I won't say much about them. I also know that in Ganyun County, if you can cooperate well, then our Lord Wang's work will be easier. Since the court has I have given you an order and there is no way I can disobey it. Although we had some unfriendly things before, if we continue to follow the pace of the imperial court, I believe that this place will develop better, at least better than now. many."

Li Chengyi pointed to an old man standing in the middle. Although this old man was already over 60 years old and considered relatively long-lived in the local area, Li Chengyi did not give him much face. After all, Li Chengyi belonged to the high-ranking Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Let alone tribal leaders like you, what can even the governor of the Arab Empire do? You must bow your head when you are in front of me.

The people present also understood that the young general in front of them was different from the others, because the other generals only had two flags. One flag was the Tang character of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was the surname of the general. But the young general in front of them had only two flags. It's different, he has an extra flag, the Golden Dragon Flag.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, if a descendant of the royal family leads an army, he can indeed be equipped with a golden dragon flag. Therefore, people from various countries in the Western Regions also know that Li Chengyi is different from others. He can come here in person to talk to you, a tribal leader. That already gives you quite a bit of face.

"What General Li said is that we will definitely cooperate well. Now that people from 15 tribes are here, including three new tribal leaders, we will definitely obey this gentleman's orders in the future."

Old man Gebonta was relatively cooperative. Two tribes around him were directly wiped out. When the Tang army gave them the collection standards, the two tribes were actually planning to escape overnight. Unfortunately, they couldn't escape at all. Going out, the Tang army had already prepared, so no one from the two tribes survived on the way. All the women were dragged to Chang'an City, and none of the men who were taller than the wheel were left behind.

"If that's the case, you tribal leaders don't need to graze around anyway, so you can move your tents here and stay around this gentleman's tent. In the future, this will be the administrative center of your Ganyun County. In addition to exchanging goods in peacetime, we can also discuss any matters. As for your original tribal territory, you must obtain this adult's permission in the future. Whether you inherited it from generation to generation or plundered it through war, All official documents from the Tang Dynasty will not be counted."

After Li Chengyi said this, many people present were a little panicked. They were all afraid that the existing grassland in their hands would be taken away again. You must know that they all rely on grazing for a living, and there are many deserts around here. Really There are too few pastures for cattle and sheep to grow.

"You don't have to panic too much. We will definitely divide them according to your historical boundaries. In the next few months, you can just do this. After completing this, any other regulations of the court will naturally be passed. Master Wei told you."

Although Li Chengyi made the guarantee, the people present still felt a little scared. After all, their grassland area was changed through war. In the past, people from the Arab Empire occupied this area and did not interfere in this area. Now it is mostly Don cut right to their roots.

Wang Decheng also admired Li Xiang's strategy very much. No matter what you people want to do, these grasslands are the basis for your survival. As long as there is no official document from the Tang Dynasty, if you say this grassland is yours, he will not be yours either.

Although many people still can't see the power of this article, the civil servants who followed have seen it. Once you gain a new grassland through war, but you do not get the approval of the Tang Dynasty government, then the surrounding people will The tribe may continue to attack until it is recognized by the Tang Dynasty government, and then this grassland is yours.

Now everyone may think this is a bit nonsense. After all, they have lived here for so many years, and they will not ask the Tang government for everything, but everything will develop with the development of time. Once more than ten or twenty years have passed, I am afraid that the rights of these tribal leaders will be greatly diluted.

"You can just discuss the specific matters. I will keep informing you of some matters of the imperial court. We all have a common idea, which is to govern this place better, and it is best to turn it into a Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall." We all have benefits."

When he said this, it was basically time to call it a day. Wang Decheng was still a little reluctant. After all, after getting along with him for the past few days, he found that Li Chengyi was definitely a person who did great things. Although he was born in the Li royal family, he They also have their own abilities. Otherwise, how could they lead troops to fight in the Western Regions if there were so many royal family members?

"I hope the general can give you some more tips before he leaves..."

When Li Chengyi was about to mount his horse, Wang Decheng trotted past. He had a dark eye on the situation in the Western Region. Although he also invited two masters, those people probably didn't understand the situation here, including those who Among them were people who had come out of labor camps.

"There are some things that you don't need to discuss with them. When you have nothing to do, go to their tribe for a walk. Apart from these old people and children, there are probably very few young people, so there are some things as long as they don't cause any trouble. Everyone is angry, so if you want to do it, do it.”

Li Chengyi patted this guy on the shoulder. Some civil servants were too weak-minded and always acted out in all kinds of righteousness.

If you were in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, there would be nothing wrong with you educating your people like this, and the court might also reward you. But now we have just conquered this place, and the smell of gunpowder smoke around it is still very strong. Well, if you pay attention to all kinds of kindness here, then I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish anything. (End of chapter)
