Chapter 1431 Promoting a new leader

Watching Li Chengyi lead the people away, Wang Decheng also knew that the last strength to protect him was gone. If he wanted to return to the Datang military camp, it would probably take half a day. Compared with others, he was lucky to come here.

"Sir, General Li has gone far..."

One of his men reminded him in a low voice that when Wang Decheng left from the mainland, none of his parents looked like this.

Wang Decheng moved his body unnaturally. Being in such a border area outside the Great Wall, the Tang Army meant that he could settle down here. When he saw the 150 guards around him, this guy felt a little more at ease. However, in such a huge area, relying on only 150 guards is not enough.

"The four of you coming here, which tribe are you from?"

After all, Wang Decheng was the natural way to go through the imperial examination. What should he do now? Since these four people in the labor camp have been working for a long time and performed relatively well there, it means that they have accepted some things in Datang, not to mention that the sons of these people are still in the military camp. If they study nearby, they will never do anything detrimental to Wang Decheng.

These four people are the only young adults among them all. Wherever Wang Decheng looked, most of them were people over 45 years old, and some were under 15 years old. Otherwise, there were some in their 30s. There are no women or young people at all, which shows how much damage this war has caused to these tribes.

"The first thing I want to do when I take office is that from now on, the four of you will be the leaders of your tribe. No matter what your previous status was or what you did before, I will give you a notice now. Instrument of Appointment.”

After Wang Decheng finished speaking, everyone, including these four people close to the Tang Dynasty, had a look of astonishment on their faces. Your Excellency, you have never done any investigation at all, and now you have been appointed immediately. 4 tribe leaders, this is a bit too much.

"Sir, wait a minute, these people don't have a high status in our tribe. Their ancestors were even horse feeders. If they are allowed to serve as tribal leaders, I am afraid that other people will not be willing. This will cause trouble. The tribe is unstable.”

As the ancestor of the surrounding tribes, Old Man Gbonta naturally wanted to stand up and say something. In fact, the surrounding tribes originated from the same ancestor. Although they usually attack each other, if you want to talk about their origins, Brother Old Man Bangta is considered the senior one, so his words have more weight.

"It doesn't matter if the tribe is unstable. Where should we start to govern where there is instability? Now this is no longer your original administrative area. From the moment we arrived here, this was Ganyun County in the Anxi Province of the Tang Empire. , I am the magistrate of Ganyun County, so for all matters in this area, I only need to ask the general in charge above for instructions, and you only need to be responsible for executing them. If anyone is unwilling, you can report back to me at any time. Go and have a good talk with him."

Wang Decheng said angrily, "This first order was forced back by you. What on earth do you guys want to do?" I don’t even open my eyes to see your current situation.

"But, this is against the rules after all..."

"You are right, sir. We do not object to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but each of our tribes has its own way of inheritance. Now the leaders of the new tribes have been selected, and their ancestors are all the original leaders... "

Many people also stood up and objected. These people all have certain abilities in the tribe. If Wang Decheng's distribution method is followed, I am afraid these people will have to hand over their rights, let alone enjoy some privileges in the future. Well, I'm afraid that under the leadership of the new tribal leader, they will probably herd sheep honestly.

These four people who came out of the labor camp used to be at the bottom of the entire tribe. Let alone be close to the position of the tribe leader, even if they are close to the tribe leader's tent, they may be stink by others. Beat them up, and now they are promoted to tribal leaders without any investigation. Then wouldn't those who bullied them before suffer disaster?

"Shut up, do you still have the right to talk here? Winter is coming soon. As far as I know, your food is not even 1/3 enough. If you want your people to survive, then You must do what I say. Now the imperial court has issued a batch of old machine rations to you, but the quantity of this batch of old machine rations is not large. If anyone violates my order, I guarantee that your tribe will receive one grain. You can’t even get food. If you do what I say, I guarantee that everyone will be able to get food for the winter.”

In addition to the 150 guards behind them, the Tang Dynasty court also got them a lot of food. The food was transported here after being tossed and turned. The price was also very high, but in order to allow local officials to control the main local rights , the Tang court believed that this matter must be done.

Just relying on swords, guns and sticks may not be able to govern the local area very well, but if you give a sweet date a slap in the face, as long as you can do this well, then you don't have to be afraid of suffering a loss in the future.

Under Wang Decheng's carrot and stick policy, the opposing tribal leaders were speechless. When the Tang army issued a mission some time ago, each tribe took out almost all their remaining grains. If not now, If you are willing, then I am afraid that many people will freeze to death in winter.

For nomadic people, winter is the most difficult thing to survive. A snowstorm may be more than half a meter thick. If the sheepfold and other things have been repaired in advance, then there is no need to worry about this, but if not, then The animals living in the open air may not survive, and they will be starving by then!

Animals are the basis for their survival. Now the Tang Dynasty court has taken away a lot of them, so their survival has been reduced a lot this winter. Now that they heard that a batch of grain can be distributed to them, these people's eyes are wide open. It became popular, so no matter what Wang Decheng said, even if those in power didn't agree with it, I'm afraid the people at the lower level would agree. Those people just want to survive and have nothing else to do. (End of chapter)
