Baozi sincerely thanks: Fengyue Xieying for voting 2 monthly votes;

On January 18, in the cold wind of the Northland, the fat man wore a lambskin jacket with strong Kugit characteristics and a three-star pointed helmet representing the Khan King. Surrounded by everyone, he climbed onto the mountain. On a temporary three-meter earth platform, the white lamb down was constantly blown up by the cold wind, making the fat man's somewhat bloated figure look like a huge white lamb at this moment.

But this did not affect the burning gazes of more than 100,000 Dongting below. Of course, most of the gazes detoured around the fat man, and without exception they focused on Dongting, who was standing side by side with the fat man and wore the same white lamb velvet shawl. On the body of the eldest princess Ruitang Tingna

The fat man felt quite speechless. This Princess Dongting didn't have the consciousness to be a green leaf. If you have a good figure, you have a good figure. You have to lean to the side. Standing next to you is like a combination of a beast and a beauty. It is too irritating to your self-esteem. Got it

"Join Your Majesty Falcon, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess"

In front of the fat man, the leaders of the sixty-four tribes of Dongting prostrated themselves in a neat phalanx, and then the entire row of Dongting people below prostrated themselves on the ground according to the order of arrangement and status in the tribe. More than 100,000 people prostrated themselves on the ground. The huge and spectacular scene formed by people is like a huge arc unfolding one after another, and a wave of people appears that may only appear in later generations of competitions.

"Can't you find some good lamb skin? Look, it smells bad, and even the hair has fallen off." The fat man quietly took off a tuft of white hair from his nose, and looked at Lai behind him with some dissatisfaction. Su Ke complained in a low voice, "Such a big scene only happens once in a lifetime. If you want me to, just remember this bad lamb wool."

Lesuke's wrinkled old face seemed a little dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, we have no choice. In this extremely cold season, it is too difficult to find a three-day-old lamb in a short period of time. Besides, His Majesty's figure is so big. So we can only find a two-month-old to replace him. No one can tell."

"The fat man was extremely speechless when he was still called a lamb when he was two months old."

"What about Princess Dongting's long white velvet satin? Don't tell me, it's also two months old." The fat man refused to let go.

You can't tell it from a distance, but you can see it when you're up close. The difference here is huge. This white velvet on a beauty like Ruitang Tingna, who is as beautiful as the spring equinox on the prairie, is the icing on the cake, complementing each other.

Ruitang Tingna stood tall and graceful in front of the crowd, as if she was the descendant of the legendary spring breeze goddess, but on her own, it was simply too miserable to look at.

"It's so destructive. Who came up with this kind of clothing? If you put it on with your own figure, you look like a white-haired pig."

Lesuq, who was next to him, quickly explained, Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about it. According to Kugit rules, when you accept a tribal audience for the first time, you must be "white and flawless." The lamb is the purest, so... you are just talking nonsense, is this a newly born lamb? Have you ever seen a half-month-old lamb born?” The fat man bared his teeth in disdain.

"My subordinates are confused. I will definitely not be like this next time."

"Next time, what you mean is that I, the Khan, am not a lifelong king. I think I understood correctly that you want to rebel... Lesuq was already sweating profusely in the icy cold wind.

"Pfft." Ruitang Tingna next to her let out a laugh like a silver bell, and said softly, "If your majesty wants to change, Ruitang Tingna can also do it."

"The fat man looked up and down and said with great regret, "It's too narrow."

"That's such a pity." Ruitang Tingna remained motionless and reached out to fiddle with her hanging hair, revealing her face that made people enchanted. Her eyes were like a lake of autumn water, with slender temples. Her beautiful eyebrows, skin as jade as snow, and her graceful posture become more and more charming, with a unique and charming style.

The fat man couldn't take his eyes off her. Ruitang Tingna had a heart-shaking noble temperament that could make any man feel ashamed of himself because of his admiration.

"Your Majesty, the time has come." Just when the fat man was in a daze, Ruitang Tingna gently pushed the fat man from behind. The cold wind hit him, the chill penetrated his body, and he seemed to have returned to the human world again.

In the dreamlike situation of flying snow, no, flying cashmere wool,

The fat man stepped up to the high platform representing the Khan King step by step, and held up the horsewhip in his hand, which represented the highest power of the East Courtyard, very impressively.

"Long live the Golden Khan, long live the Golden Khan"

More than 100,000 Dongting people threw their fur hats high into the air, and the overwhelming cheers rolled in like a wave. The turbulent sound scared the fat man standing in front of the crowd and turned a little pale.

He didn't expect that he would cause such a sensation just by holding up a makeshift riding whip as usual. As for the background of this riding whip, who knows?

Later historians wrote that the first emperor of the Falcon Empire, Dustan I, who was still just the king of the Falcon Dynasty at that time, accepted the offer from Dongting with his magnanimous mind and admirable prestige. The sixty ministers came to the meeting and held up the Heavenly Whip of Immortality that has been passed down since the Golden Khan era (it is now in the Imperial Museum. Through carbon element detection, this object appeared between 760-790, so it is certain that it is a fake. Taste)

The activities of receiving audience from various ministries on the high platform continued until the evening. The campfires all over the ground were like stars in the sky. The night was solemn. Countless stars were shining brightly in the sky, reflecting the sky. The huge bright full moon in the sky was still. Hanging quietly in the air,

The women in Dongting have already taken out the wine bottles and handed the strongest prairie wine to their men. The girls in Dongting dressed in colorful costumes also started a cheerful dance beside the roaring bonfire. The young Dongting The men crazily squeezed towards the beloved girl, causing a burst of laughter like silver bells. Most of their elders ignored this, drinking wine, eating meat, and grazing in the vast world here. This was their life. ,

Above their heads, the beautiful and colorful northern aurora reflected the sky and the earth into a colorful glass. It was a carnival night. The Falcon Dynasty finally accepted the iron rule of the tribe, which made many Dongting people who were originally in panic feel relieved. Although at the beginning it looked like a large army was pressing down on the situation, in fact everyone knew that once faced with the Vekia Falcon, this improvised army would immediately collapse.

The fall of the ice city Motu has already spread throughout the eastern grasslands through some special news. Motu, who was blessed by the ice god, was defeated by the undefeated military god Vekia Falcon with the power of the ice god. This was enough This shows that the Vekia Falcon is the Immortal Skywalker on land. This The terrible rumors have already caused panic within the Dongting tribe. Once bad news comes from Motu, the tribes will immediately choose to move north. Although this will lead to the death of a large number of tribesmen, the tribe's situation will be even worse. Tough, but better than fighting the godlike Vecian Falcon

The Changshengtian rules everything in the prairie,

In order to show their loyalty, the leaders of the Dongting tribe gathered around the fat man to propose a toast. The grassland people were already bold and upright, and it was difficult for the fat man to refuse, but he just managed to drink a bowl, and countless bowls filled with spirits were already in front of him. , so scared that the fat man’s big tongue was knotted.

"Is this a courtesy to King Khan? Everyone is tired today, so we should go back and rest early." The face of Ruitang Tingna, the princess of the East Court sitting next to the fat man, was slightly cold. As usual, she is now the spokesperson of the East Court royal family. Today It is the day when King Khan ascends the throne, that is, the day when his marriage to the royal family of Dongting is completed.

When the leaders of the various departments in the East Court heard this, they quickly dispersed, and soon it was only Fatty and Ruitang Tingna. The red bonfire in the tent illuminated the two of them blood red.

"You don't hate me?" The fat man took advantage of the alcohol and stared at the calm Ruitang Tingna next to him with his red eyes. He couldn't help but say what he had been feeling aggrieved for a long time. "I defeated your father and also destroyed him." After losing your kingdom, why do you still treat me like this?”

"I think you are really drunk." Ruitang Tingna glanced at the drunken fat man, raised a bowl filled with spirits with her white fingers, and drank it in one gulp without hesitation in front of the fat man, with a blush on her face. Her cheeks looked more and more red, but the red color was more like blood.

Putting down the wine bowl, Ruitang Tingna regained her composure and said, "On the prairie, either you kill me or I kill you. We Kugits only believe in the strong. Your ability to conquer the East Courtyard proves that you have such strength." ,

Only under the protection of the strong will the tribe develop further. This is the prophecy of the Immortal Heaven and the essence of the iron law of the tribe. It was because of the blessing of the Immortal Heaven that the Golden Khan escaped from the enemy many times. He has always adhered to this iron law and won the respect of other tribes, and finally became the co-owner of the prairie."

"Just for this?" The fat man opened his blood-red eyes, his face full of disbelief. For a person full of free thoughts about future generations, he could not understand this kind of cruel and bloody survival law.

"Then what do you think it's for?"

"Gulu" Ruitang Tingna, who looked calm, drank another gulp of Yihong's liquor, and the fat man's heart trembled from the shock. By the time of the fourth bowl, Ruitang Tingna was already as drunk as mud. She leaned her whole body against the fat man and kept chanting like a sleepy child, "Bogoll, I hate you - why do you want to leave me alone?"

The fat man gently held Rui Tangtingna's hair lovingly, wondering why every generation of geniuses from the golden family had almost the same fate, staying with their loved ones forever. For these stunning successors, It’s a luxury that can never be achieved

This night marked the end of the East Court Dynasty era. The two Kugit Courts, which had been divided for twenty years, were once again merged into one. The era of the two Courts officially ended. On the map of the Falcon Dynasty, an area covering more than 2,000 kilometers , the population exceeded 15 million, and the prototype of a small empire extending from the southern end of the continent to the northern end of the continent appeared on the small continent of Ikadiva.

Of course, such a scale may not be worth boasting about for this large empire that later had a population of more than 100 million and spanned two continents, but for the small continent of Ikadiva, which had a total population of only more than 30 million at that time, , such strength is enough to scare other kingdoms,

On the 20th, at the joint meeting of the eastern grassland tribes held in Motu, as the co-owner of the eastern and western grasslands, Dustan I stated in front of the sixty-four tribes that he "respects the folk customs of the Kugit people and, as the king of Kugit Khan, Married to the two princesses of the Dongting royal family, and in accordance with the iron rules of the tribe, Queen Dongting automatically became the wife of the contemporary Khan.

Of course, everyone knows that this is only in name. This is politics. Any personal emotions must be for the overall situation. Many people even know that the Queen of Dongting is already on her way to the distant place.

What is waiting there may be indefinite house arrest. If you can live as an ordinary person, it is already a very good gift.

Fatty read the Chinese scroll in Tu Erting's voice. Most of the previous words were empty nonsense. It was nothing more than that everyone must work hard and fight for the tribe together. The tribal leaders below were also exhausted. In fact, Fatty I have already seen that some of the clan leaders in the last few rows have their eyes slightly closed and are dozing off with their heads on the ground.

"It's nonsense, who wrote this?" The fat man rolled his eyes with some dissatisfaction, and put the speech directly on the table in front of him.

After looking at the tribal leaders who were pretending to be attentive and respectful, the fat man said straight to the point, "I won't talk about those things that I don't have. I will tell the truth. You all know that I am not only a Kugit." King Khan is still the king of the Falcon Dynasty, so when you become my subjects, you will also enjoy all the treatment of the Falcon Dynasty."

Hearing this, the tribal leaders suddenly became energetic. A few of them who knew some inside information showed a bit of surprise on their faces, but most of them were blank. It was rare for any conqueror to discuss treatment. According to Kuji According to the custom of the special people, I now think of myself as a slave following His Majesty the Khan. Does the master still need to negotiate treatment with the slave?

Under everyone's suspicious gazes, the fat man took out a document he had prepared long ago from his arms, which listed more than a dozen clauses, large and small.

The fat man held up the document and said in an encouraging tone, "As a vassal tribe, you will be responsible for certain combat tasks and perform service in accordance with the kingdom's orders, but I can guarantee that the military exploits you will enjoy will not be greater than those of others." Young Master, as subjects of the Falcon Dynasty, you can freely move to the southern part of the prairie, and the areas of each tribe will be adjusted.

Of course, if a tribe is willing to settle on the northern border of Ruidian, the Falcon Dynasty will reduce its trade tax by half, and will also provide an annual subsidy of 10,000 gold coins. In addition, thirty outstanding descendants of the tribe will be selected to go to Pala every year. Studying at Wen College, and I will be studying in Wikiyanan The Ministry has set aside a certain trade area as the exclusive trade area of ​​the Kujit tribe... The news has not yet been announced, and there is already a commotion below. The eyes of the tribal leaders have brightened up, and a few of them were still secretly dozing off just now. The patriarch was also pushed awake by his companions

"What?" A sleepy-eyed clan leader asked displeasedly,

"Move south! Do you hear me? We can move south freely without paying any money, and we can get 10,000 gold coins every year." The companion next to him was already laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Moving south? Ten thousand gold coins per year?" The patriarch was stunned for a moment, and then curled his lips disdainfully, "Omze, have you been lying around for a long time and messed up? How could such a good thing happen?"

"The claws of the falcon. Sure enough, it never fails. A promise changes the hearts of the Dongting tribe."

Looking at the group of excited Dongting clan chiefs below, Lesuk, who came with him, smiled bitterly. Only he knew that Fatty's policy of allowing the southward migration undoubtedly hit the hearts of the Dongting tribes, who were struggling to survive in the bitter cold land. For the people of Dongting, what could be better than moving to the south?

Being allowed to move south means that you can get richer products and a more suitable living environment. The biggest advantage is that you can get closer to the inland where the trade center is located. This will have an extremely positive impact on the rapid development of the tribe.

Being able to obtain a rich water grassland near the inland area has been the driving force for generations of grassland warriors to fight bloody battles. Taking the tribe to the center of the continent has been the origin of the ambition of grassland leaders in the past generations. But now, just because of Fatty’s words If you say that, all this will come true

Now don't say that someone has betrayed. Even if you want to drive these leaders of the Dongting tribe away, they will stay shamelessly.

After the meeting, Vekia Falcon became the second Kugit Khan to be named the Golden Khan after the Golden Khan of the Steppes five hundred years ago.

At the end of February, Fatty left 10,000 troops to garrison Motu, and sent 3,000 cavalry to follow the foreign princess Austin Yundai to the far north to learn about the situation, and led other troops on the road back to Palaven. Along the way, various ministries in Dongting followed. , the number suddenly swelled to more than 200,000,

In a snowstorm, Fatty crossed the Maya Mountains, which is the dividing line of the Northland. At the same time, he received a report from Aire. The person who submitted this report was Caesar Sauron, who was in charge of the northern mountainous area of ​​​​Dorok. The content of the report was considered a The good news is that after two months of coercion and heavy military pressure, several small tribes in northern Dorok finally couldn't bear it anymore and all chose to join the Falcon Dynasty.

The fat man put down the East Court map that he had seized from the East Court royal family during the review, and his expression twitched slightly. From the map, it can be seen that East Court has limited living space and shallow foundation, and may encounter attacks from the West Court at any time, so in When it was established, some areas were selectively abandoned.

Its national policy is also different from the mainstream kingdoms within the mainland. The expansion of Dongting's power mainly focuses on the far north region, which is outside the sight of the mainland. It has a vast land that is not inferior to the inland, and has the ability to survive from the difficulties of survival. For the people of the North, the scope of the East Courtyard is like a long and narrow link, connecting this far north land with the interior of the mainland.

Putting down the map, the fat man fell into deep thought. He could foresee that the Aosu tribe, which suddenly withdrew in the Battle of Motu, would definitely take advantage of the weakening of the Dongting people and their lack of time to look north, and use their advantages in the north to rise in the north. No one knew whether this cunning northern fox would be followed by a tiger named "Dongting Empire" when it came again.
