Chapter 396 Signing of the Surrender Agreement
King Muzhen nodded secretly in his heart, these children are really great!
Regardless of whether it is heavenly fire or not, choosing to submit to them and follow them is ultimately a good choice.
Others felt the same way.
At this moment, a soldier outside the door came to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Fu is here. Would you please come in?"
"Please come in quickly!" said the king.
After a while, Gu Fu came over slowly, greeted King Tieshi, and then sat down next to Song Renjing.
Song Renjing briefly told Gu Fu about the conversation that everyone had just had.
Gu Fu was very happy to see that things were going so smoothly.
I heard that Song Renjing didn't go to see the "Sky Fire" because he was afraid of disturbing his rest.
Although I felt warm in my heart, I didn't agree. The merger of the two countries was such a big deal! How could it be delayed by a small matter? Fortunately, King Muzhen was not displeased by this.
He took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, I have the new weapon with me. Let's go take a look and let the high priest determine whether it is the prophesied heavenly fire."
The people of the Muzhen tribe had been waiting for a long time, and they naturally agreed readily when they heard this.
Gu Fu took Zhibao back and asked Zhibao to call an intelligent robot to drive a tricycle and pull a box of gunpowder.
After meeting up with the people from the Muzhen tribe, they left the camp together.
Everyone came to an open area outside the camp, where Duan Shuhuan demonstrated gunpowder to everyone as usual.
Seeing the thick smoke and sparks from the explosion, the high priest's hands trembled with excitement.
Pointing to the place where the gunpowder was placed in the distance, he said, "It's the same! It's exactly the same as what I saw! This is the Heavenly Fire! That's right, this is the Heavenly Fire!"
Everyone in the Muzhen tribe was very happy to hear this, and was happy that they could get what they wanted.
Duan Shuhuan fired three in a row for everyone to watch carefully.
King Muzhen looked at the exploding gunpowder and the power it emitted, his eyes emitting a fiery light.
Gu Fu noticed this and felt deeply moved.
Sure enough, no matter what era, weapons have a fatal attraction to men.
Gu Fu pulled Song Renjing's sleeve and motioned him to look at King Muzhen.
Song Renjing looked in the direction Gu Fu had directed, and naturally saw the desire in King Muzhen's eyes.
He whispered to Duan Shuhuan, "Shuhuan, do you have any extra gunpowder? Would you mind giving some to King Muzhen? Let him keep it for self-defense."
Duan Shuhuan also looked at King Muzhen and saw that he really wanted it. His eyes were fixed eagerly on the place where the gunpowder exploded.
Remembering that he had brought a small box with him when he went out, he nodded in agreement.
After getting Duan Shuhuan's permission, Song Renjing said to King Muzhen, "King Muzhen, we will leave you a small box when we leave. You can use it for self-defense."
When King Muzhen heard this, he felt it was a surprise from heaven.
Ignoring their words of leaving, I couldn't stop thanking them: "Seriously! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. No need to thank me! We will be a family from now on." Song Renjing said with a smile.
"Yes, we will always be loyal to Daxia!" King Muzhen said seriously.
When several people were discussing the future planning of the grassland, Song Renjing informed everyone of his identity.
"Your Majesty, you must keep this properly and place it away from fire! You have all seen the power of this weapon. If it is accidentally ignited, the consequences will be disastrous." Duan Shuhuan looked at King Muzhen who was only concerned with his happiness and could not help but remind him.
Upon hearing this, King Muzhen assured him, "Thank you, Master Huan, for your reminder. I will definitely keep it properly."
Duan Shuhuan then nodded and said no more.
After confirming that the new weapon was the predicted "heavenly fire", everyone no longer had any concerns.
"Grandson, now that this matter has been confirmed, let's go back and write the document of surrender." King Muzhen took the initiative to say.
"Okay." Song Renjing agreed happily.
The boys from the Gu family, Duan Shuhuan, and Gu Fu were so happy that they almost cheered.
The boys even walked together with Mu Zhen Tianhao tacitly, walking together with their arms around each other's shoulders, looking extremely intimate.
Yes, from today onwards, these grassland tribes are no longer the barbarian tribes as people think, but the people of Great Xia. The grassland is already the territory of Great Xia!
After the few people went back, Song Renjing confirmed what everyone had just discussed based on what he had learned, and then wrote a letter of surrender.
Detailed discussions were held on the status arrangements, titles, territories, privileges, taxes, military affairs, etc. of the Muzhen tribe and the various ethnic groups within the tribe, and all of them were recorded in the letter of credence.
After verification, the two parties signed the letter of credence in duplicate, with one party keeping one copy.
King Muzhen returned the tribal token, indicating that he would hand over the rights of the tribe.
He also summoned all the tribesmen and led them to kneel down and pay homage to Song Renjing.
After the ceremony, the Muzhen tribe belonged to Daxia from then on.
Song Renjing stepped forward, helped up King Muzhen, Muzhen Tianhao and the high priest with both hands, and said to the crowd: "Everyone, please stand up quickly. From now on, we are all brothers and sisters. There is no need to be polite!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up. The scene was filled with joy.
"Uncle Muzhen, according to common sense, your submission to Daxia is a major event that will be recorded in history and celebrated by the whole country.
Inviting you to the Imperial City to hold a grand merger ceremony is a must. And we have to announce it to the world so that everyone knows about it.
But the leader of the rebel army has escaped, and they have evil ambitions, so I'm afraid there are other conspiracies behind this.
In my opinion, I have to let Uncle Wang down for now. I won't make it public for now, lest the rebel army gets to know and come to harass the grassland again, affecting the hard-earned peace.
The proper etiquette will be fulfilled after we have completely resolved the rebellion. What do you think, uncle Wang?" Song Renjing suggested in a sincere and friendly tone.
Upon hearing this, King Muzhen laughed and said, "Grandson, there is no need to worry about this. We, the children of the grassland, are not particular about trivial matters and do not care about these formalities.
As long as you sincerely accept us and treat us as family, nothing else matters."
"Thank you for your understanding, Uncle Wang! Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I will personally present the letter to the Emperor when I return.
After the emperor's approval, he will send officials and troops to assist Uncle Wang in management, and will also teach Daxia's various skills to the tribesmen.
If there is anything, you can report it directly to the emperor, or send a message to us. " Song Renjing, as a junior, did not put on airs when facing King Muzhen.
His attitude was even more friendly and familiar than before.
King Muzhen looked at the crown prince who was like his son or nephew in front of him, and felt very relieved, "Then I will have to rely on Your Majesty and you more in the future.
If you need anything, you can always ask for help. We are not afraid of trouble.
Moreover, that rebel army slaughtered many of our brothers and sisters on the grassland, and they are our sworn enemies.
We should also fulfill our responsibility to kill them."
