The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Dian Wei walked forward and took the sword from the barbarian.

As soon as he took the sword, Dian Wei's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good sword, simple and unpretentious, but hard and straight. Although he had not used it, he knew that this sword was definitely extremely sharp.

"It's a good sword." Dian Wei muttered, turned and walked towards Qin Ze and presented it to him.

Qin Ze gripped the hilt of the sword and immediately felt its heaviness. Although the blade was snow-white, it glowed golden in the sunlight. Wu Li was also looking at the sword.

"Shizhi..." He said it out loud unconsciously while looking at the sword blade.

Qin Ze naturally saw these two words and said:

"This sword has a great history. It was passed down from the ancestors of the Jin family."

"Many years ago, many warlords fought each other and the country was in turmoil. There were countless casualties, and countless families were torn apart. It was almost dark."

"At this time of war and disaster, the Jin family raised the banner of justice and vowed to stop the war and bring peace to the people of the world. They started their army in Nanze and led 50,000 soldiers to attack Yin Zaiye, the [Lie King] who was entrenched in Langzhou. This was a battle in which the few defeated the many. The Jin family almost tried their best to take Langzhou. But even so, after entering Langzhou City, they did not rob civilians like other warlords did."

"After this battle, the Jin family had less than 10,000 soldiers left, but in just two months, he had 80,000 soldiers. They were from Langzhou, and there were also righteous men from all over the world who came here."

At this point, Wu Li couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, that happened many years ago. Even if it was recorded by the historian, it may not be true."

Qin Ze looked at the sword and pursed his lips and said, "Maybe."

"It is said that this sword was forged by the Langzhou swordsmith at that time."

At this point, Qin Ze's eyes gradually turned cold. He slashed his sword into the air and said in a cold voice:

"Shizhi means to be determined and unwavering."

"Take the sword and swear an oath, and keep it forever."

"But they eventually forgot their original intentions and let this sword become covered in dust."

Qin Ze put away his sword, hung it on the victory hook on the saddle, looked at Yan Cheng and said:

"Well done, killing Jin Weizun is a great achievement."

"We will reward them according to their merits in the future."

"Now come back to Guiyun City with us."

Yan Cheng was shocked and said respectfully:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

-

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and under the clear moonlight, Guiyun City is ablaze with fireworks.

Of course, this is not a scene of decorations and lights. On important and grand days, the barbarians would express their joy with countless bonfires.

Just like now, the burning firewood was crackling, and the blazing flames became more intense under the night wind.

There were barbarian men with small drums hanging from their waists, beating the drum skins rhythmically, producing dull but powerful music. There were also barbarian young women, who were dressed in coarse linen but exceptionally tall and fit, with their arms exposed, and their long straight legs dancing to the beat of the drums, performing strange movements one after another.

There were so many bonfires lit that beads of sweat oozed out of their bronze skin, which seemed to shine under the light of the fire.

Qin Ze tore the lamb leg in his hand, ate the lamb, and admired the unique scenery with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this welcome ceremony for you is still too simple..." said Wu Li who was sitting nearby.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I think that's a good thing." Qin Ze shook the golden roasted lamb leg in his hand, which exuded a rich meaty aroma. "The meat is also delicious."

"That...that's great." Wu Li's tense expression suddenly relaxed.

"Why don't you eat? Don't you like lamb?" Qin Ze asked others.

There were more than ten people sitting around the bonfire. Except for Qin Ze, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, the rest were all barbarians, all of whom were in charge of the barbarians. However, Yan Cheng was not among them. He was seriously injured, so as soon as he returned to Guiyun City Wuli, he was asked to go and heal his wounds first.

At this moment, Dian Wei was holding a fan of lamb chops and gnawing on them until his face was greasy. Xu Zhu was better, but the barbarians were all sitting upright with tense expressions.

"Eat, I love it! I love it!" Hearing Qin Ze's question, Wu Li waved his hand quickly, and the others then carefully took the meat to eat.

Qin Ze chuckled. He knew why these people were so nervous.

After all, the army they brought had already been to Guiyun City. Not to mention the soldiers in armor, the artillery was enough to shock them.

In the first half of the night, Qin Ze ordered his men to place ten cannons in an open area, and then asked Wu Li to bring his tribesmen to watch.

Afterwards, under their gaze, the ten cannons fired shells at targets built in the distance, instantly blasting the targets into pieces. The deafening sound of the cannons had already shocked the barbarians, not to mention that they were so powerful.

Since there were plenty of shells, Qin Ze ordered his soldiers to fire continuously for nearly half an hour, bombarding targets, trees, and then the barbarians' stone walls. Qin Ze also wanted them to bring some cattle to use as targets, but seeing that the Manchus seemed to be having a hard time, he gave up the idea.

The deafening sound of the cannon undoubtedly made all the barbarians aware of its power, and also made them thoroughly feel the strength possessed by the current Yan Kingdom.

therefore--

Qin Ze looked at these meat-eating barbarians and thought that their so-called bravery and aggressiveness were actually quite well-behaved in the face of overwhelming combat power.

"Your Majesty, please let me toast you a glass." At this time, Wu Li stood up, holding a bowl of wine and bowed as he walked in front of Qin Ze.

"I understand, but I can't drink tonight."

"You know, I'm going back tomorrow." Qin Ze waved his hand.

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous that you are willing to stop fighting with my barbarians and allow them to govern themselves in the future. I must toast you with this glass of wine for such kindness."

"Your Majesty has decided to go back tomorrow, so naturally you don't need to drink."

After saying that, Wu Li picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Qin Ze nodded slightly: "Okay."

At this time, the other barbarians all stood up and walked over, each holding a glass of wine, and said in unison:

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone drank it all.

Not only that, the movements here had already been seen by the other barbarians, and at this moment, they all stood up and toasted.

Seeing their actions, Qin Ze immediately stood up and said:

"Bring me the sword."

Xu Zhu immediately stood up to get his sword, and Dian Wei also stood up quickly.

At this moment, everyone at the bonfire dinner turned their eyes here.

Under countless gazes, Qin Ze took the sword presented to him by Xu Zhu.

He added: "Give me a bowl of wine."

Wu Li immediately poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Qin Ze.

Qin Ze said again: "Come on, everyone, let's fill up our glasses."

So everyone filled their glasses with wine and raised their glasses to face Qin Ze.

Qin Ze looked around and said loudly:

"As you can see, I brought a large army to Guiyun City today to show the power of our army."

"On the battlefield, they can defeat any enemy."

"But we came to Guiyun City today not to treat you as enemies, to show the power of our army, or to scare you. You are barbarians, but also our Yan people. Since we are all compatriots on this land, they are your protectors."

"I know you can't forget the battle of Yanluo Mountain last year. My army killed many of you in that battle, but we were on different sides at that time and there was nothing I could do about it."

At this point, the old, young, women and children outside the bonfire banquet had already lowered their heads and started sobbing.

Qin Ze continued: "You can't forget that battle, and you shouldn't forget it."

"The deep pain that is engraved in our hearts can make us alert. The dead are gone, but the living still have to move forward. If we can't let go of the past, there will be no future."

"If you have been harboring resentment, why not let me speak it out?"

"This land is now peaceful. After experiencing internal strife and Japanese pirate invasions, this land now belongs to all of you. Everyone has the right to live a life of plenty here."

"I think you all have the answer in your hearts as to what to do next."

At this point, Qin Ze's face was solemn. He held the wine bowl in one hand and raised the sword in the other, and said in a loud voice:

"Today, I swear a vow!"

"When Yan State is strong, the Barbarians are strong. When Yan State prospers, the Barbarians prosper!"

"From now on, there will never be another war in this land!"

After he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone was shocked and cheered. Wu Li shouted, "Let's drink this cup together!"

Immediately, everyone drank the bowl of wine, and at this moment, the real bonfire dinner officially began.

Qin Ze had already sat down, but Wu Li came to his side, but his face looked a little solemn at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ze asked.

"Your Majesty has to return to Nangang to deal with the enemy. My barbarians can also help. Please let us send a large army to follow Your Majesty to Nangang to defeat the enemy!" Wu Li said in a deep voice.
