"Have you seen that these are all the properties that Yu Wenjing collected in just a few days?" Liu Ziqiu grabbed a few silver picks, raised them towards the soldiers, and said, "Liu promises that from now on we will
Together with the brothers, we share the blessings and the hardships! If anyone still wants to go home, come up and get the money now!"
The school ground was very quiet, and no one dared to come forward to collect money for a long time.
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "Liu can be sure that not everyone wants to stay. Liu can swear to God that Liu will never make things difficult for those who want to leave. If you violate this oath, God will strike with thunder!
"
Although Liu Ziqiu was a materialist and did not believe that oaths would have any effect, most of the Sui soldiers were superstitious, and the oaths were more binding on them than the law. Finally, there was a commotion in the school grounds, and a bold man
The soldier came out. Liu Ziqiu kept his oath and did not embarrass him. He even gave him a piece of silver, which was five taels of silver.
The demonstration effect was very obvious, and more and more soldiers walked out of the team. Liu Ziqiu only divided the money and treated everyone equally, giving each person five taels of silver, or gold and silver jewelry worth more than five taels of silver.
Half an hour later, all the people who wanted to leave had left, and there were still more than 600 people sitting in the school ground. These people were all moved by the song "Speak from the Heart". Although there were a few people,
But Liu Ziqiu was still very satisfied with the result. If no one was left behind, then he would have completely failed.
"Okay! From now on, you are Liu's brothers. Welcome to join our team!" Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, and the nomadic cavalry around him cheered in unison. The soldiers who stayed in the school grounds all stood up, with faces full of joy.
Excited.
These six hundred people may not have strong combat effectiveness, but their morale has been fully mobilized. With a little training, they will all become real warriors.
…
In the evening, Tuoba Qianyu led the people in the camp to the outside of the city. Liu Ziqiu ordered the city gates to be opened and went out to greet him personally. In fact, Tumulu's camp was not far from Weiding City, and tribal migration was a big event.
They had to bring almost all their belongings, tents, vehicles, hay, cattle and sheep, without leaving anything behind, so it was delayed until evening. However, all the herdsmen's faces were full of excitement. Everyone knew that the surrounding areas of Weiding City had the most beautiful scenery.
Good pasture, they will live a good life from now on.
I saw Jiao Liyan emerging from the group, jumping off his horse, striding up to Liu Ziqiu, suddenly kneeling on one knee, and said loudly: "Greetings to the king!"
These small tribes have long been oppressed by the big tribes, especially the Xianbei tribes. Jiao Liyan's tribe was also forced to participate in the war against the Sui Dynasty. If they were not pardoned by Yang Guang, they would not be able to come back. Now, so
When multiple tribes merge into one big tribe, you no longer have to worry about being oppressed by those big tribes.
Not only that, last night they elected Liu Ziqiu as the leader of the new tribe. Today Liu Ziqiu gave them a big surprise. He captured Weiding City without any casualties. In their minds, Weiding City was not a county town.
, but the Royal City. For ordinary herdsmen, perhaps the best pastures by the West Sea Lake are more attractive, but for these former leaders, the Royal City is more significant. In their minds, Liu Ziqiu is the real king!
Jiao Liyan's attitude toward Liu Ziqiu has undergone a 180-degree turn, from questioning, resistance, and provocation in the past to firm support.
"Greetings to the king!" Tumulu and others also dismounted and knelt on the ground.
Tuoba Qianyu was still riding on the horse, with an excited face. She had been worried about whether her father would agree to her marrying Liu Ziqiu. After all, Tuoba Mumi was already the party king. But now she is not worried at all, and Liu Ziqiu is also
After becoming a king, although there is no title, the royal city is real. Now, the two of them are considered to be a good match.
"Everyone, please get up quickly!" Liu Ziqiu hurriedly helped Jiao Liyan and others up, and said loudly, "Liu is not only your leader, but also a subject of the Sui Dynasty. Without the emperor's will, how dare you claim to be the king? Everyone
Please call me lord from now on."
The word "Lord" is the most appropriate title for his identity that Liu Ziqiu can think of. It can guarantee his absolute authority without being too arrogant. Of course, he also has another identity, the Brigade Commander of the Sui Army, but the Brigade Commander's
The position is too low, unconvincing, and far less than a tribal leader.
Tumulu people are mature and have experienced many storms. They can best understand Liu Ziqiu's thoughts. He couldn't help but look highly at Liu Ziqiu and immediately expressed his position: "Everything depends on the Lord's orders! Please ask the Lord to choose a name for our new tribe.
Name it!"
Everyone looked at Liu Ziqiu expectantly and said in unison: "Please give me your name, my lord!"
Most of these people don't understand Chinese, but they all speak Chinese. It's obviously been discussed long ago and practiced many times. Especially Tumulu, who can speak a long sentence, is really difficult for this old guy.
Liu Ziqiu was good at fighting and killing people, but naming was not his strong point. Liu Ziqiu scratched his head and suddenly heard the two leopard cubs in Tuoba Qianyu's arms whining again. His heart moved and he said: "Let's
If the leopard is a totem, how about we call it the leopard tribe?"
Before Tumuru and the others could cheer, Kakurenobu had already whispered: "We use the wolf as our totem!"
He admires Liu Ziqiu so much now that he dare not speak out loud even if he has an opinion. But Liu Ziqiu cannot ignore his opinion. You must know that there are also five tribes with wolves as their totems. If they are not handled properly, it will affect the unity of the new tribes.
"Then our new tribe will put wolves and leopards together as totems! As for the name of the tribe..." Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment, looked up into the distance, and suddenly had an idea and said, "Look, the West Sea Lake is
It is our mother lake, let’s call our new tribe the Xihai Tribe!”
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Xihai tribe! Xihai tribe!" the herdsmen all cheered.
Liu Ziqiu was originally worried that various small tribes would insist on their original totems and they would not be happy if the wolf and leopard were put together. Now it seems that the worry is completely unnecessary. In fact, in the history of the Chinese nation, the dragon is composed of various totems.
It was kneaded together and finally formed. It's just that Liu Ziqiu was not very serious when he was studying and didn't know this allusion.
Her lover was supported by everyone. Tuoba Qianyu's heart was sweeter than eating honey, but she did not cheer along with the herdsmen. She had her own way of celebrating. Tuoba Qianyu walked to Liu Ziqiu and whispered
He said: "Brother, I helped you again..."
Liu Ziqiu was stunned and suddenly laughed: "Let's go home and pay off our debts!"
He owed a lot of debt, and more importantly, he saw Lin Qiaoer's hot body twice today, which aroused his desire. He needed to relax. Of course, with his willpower, he was still sure to control the final blow.
After all, Tuoba Qianyu was still too young. Even though the Dangxiang girls who were about the same age as Tuoba Qianyu were already mothers, he still felt a little awkward.
…
There are many empty houses in Weiding City, which were left by the Tuguhun nobles. Those nobles left in a hurry. Many of them didn't take anything with them, but they gave Liu Ziqiu's people an advantage. Tumulu was responsible for allocating houses.
Jiao Liyan and the others were left to do the work, and Liu Ziqiu felt at ease and went home directly with Tuoba Qianyu.
The former Tuyuhun Palace, now the Governor's Mansion of Xihai County, is now Liu Ziqiu's home. Eight tribal warriors stood guard outside the palace gate like benchmarks, and there were patrolling cavalry passing by around the courtyard wall from time to time. Although Liu Ziqiu thought it was unnecessary, Ji
Rentai and Daleng, the two newly appointed captains of the guard, insisted on performing their duties, so Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to leave them alone.
When he saw Liu Ziqiu coming back, Ji Rentai hurriedly came forward to greet him, imitating the etiquette of the Han people, he raised his hands and said, "My Lord, Madam has found Zhao Ling!"
Liu Ziqiu said with great joy: "Great, take me to see where he is!"
Tuoba Qianyu asked suspiciously: "Brother, where did the lady come from?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "It's Mrs. Lin, not Mrs. Liu."
"Let me tell you, isn't your sister thousands of miles away?" Tuoba Qianyu quietly pinched Liu Ziqiu's waist and said angrily, "I thought you secretly found another one while I was away.
Where’s the madam!”
Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but feel sweaty. He only told Xiang Li Qingtian about having a sister in his family, but Xiang Li Qingtian only met Tuoba Qianyu once, and Tuoba Qianyu knew that the two of them were really helpless.
Good sisters who don't talk to each other, I'm afraid that the fact that he and Xiang Li Qingtian spent a few days together won't be hidden from them.
"It's so beautiful!" At this time, Tuoba Qianyu had already let go of his hand, and his eyes were attracted by the scenery in the mansion. This is the palace of Tuyuhun. Although Tuyuhun was poor, the palace was magnificently built, which made the first time
Tuoba Qianyu came here and was a little dizzy.
"The king is back!" Lin Qiaoer didn't know where she got the news. She came out alone without the little boy. Yingying bowed, "The slave family is looking for Zhao Ling."
Women are always particularly sensitive. Tuoba Qianyu was admiring a stone carving in the yard when he suddenly turned around, his eyes full of hostility.
Liu Ziqiu didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so he didn't know Tuoba Qianyu's expression. He stepped forward politely, cupped his hands towards Lin Qiaoer, and said: "There is Mrs. Laolin, where is Zhao Ling? Liu wants to go now
Meet him!"
Lin Qiaoer's eyes flashed and she actually shed two lines of tears. She lowered her head and touched the corner of her clothes and said softly: "Why does your Majesty always keep aloof from the slave family? Is it because he dislikes the slave family for being too dirty?"
Liu Ziqiu hates seeing women cry, but he has no idea of taking advantage of Lin Qiaoer. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and Yu Wenjing and others? Liu Ziqiu coughed twice and said: "It's not you who are dirty, it's the men who bully you!"
Lin Qiaoer raised her head: "Then why does your Majesty..."
