Chapter 570: Enthronement Ceremony, Everyone Comes to Congratulate
It is said that Orchard and others were waiting in the main hall for nearly half an hour.
Then, a dull loud noise suddenly sounded from the back of the hall.
Several people were startled and rushed to the back of the hall, only to see that the room where they had been resting had completely collapsed. When they looked around, there were even broken boulders and thick stone slabs pressing down underneath.
I was looking for the bone, but it has disappeared!
At this time, Orchard and others immediately understood that behind the main hall, there was actually a mechanism that Guwu had already set up. What he said just now was just to delay time.
Looking at the messy scene below, everyone looked gloomy.
Even if they knew that Gu Wu had escaped from here, it was already too late.
The boulders below are so thick that even if the army comes to clean them, it will take a long time. By then, Guwu will have no idea where he has gone.
"This matter is all my responsibility, and I will go and apologize to the commander."
Wu Hai's face turned a little dark.
If he hadn't stopped him, Guwu wouldn't have been able to escape.
He originally remembered some affection for Gu Wu, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked.
If Shen Tang had an opinion about him because of this, he almost wanted to find the bone and chop it up himself.
"Don't worry, now that the entire Qiang tribe has joined us, what can I do if I leave the Qiang tribe?
Come to think of it, General Shen Tang won’t blame you.”
Ye Mao opened his mouth to comfort him.
"In addition, someone has come to report just now. Almost most of the clan members have surrendered, and some resistance is under control. Let's go and reply to General Shen Tang first."
Several people nodded, then walked out of the hall and walked towards Shen Tang's camp outside Wenshan Mountain.
"Guwu escaped?"
Looking at Wu Hai who was begging for mercy in front of him, Shen Tang couldn't help but be stunned!
However, Shen Tang then smiled slightly and stood up to help Wu Hai up himself.
"He's just a weakling. He can't stir up any trouble when he's the clan leader, let alone when he's the only one left!"
"General Wu Hai does not need to blame himself. This time, the Qiang people were able to surrender smoothly, and the general has made great contributions.
Moreover, there are still many things that require the general's hard work."
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Seeing Shen Tang's expression, Wu Hai felt relieved, "Commander, don't worry, I will serve you to the death."
"Um!"
Shen Tang nodded, and then said in a deep voice, "Now the Qiang people have gradually stabilized, and the Guwu have fled.
However, we cannot be without a master for a day. In this case, let Orchard achieve the position of clan leader first, and then make plans."
When Shen Tang mentioned this, Orchard was overjoyed! Wasn't everything he did just for this day?
However, even he himself did not expect that not only was it successful, but it was also so fast and so smooth.
"Orchard thanks you so much, Marshal! In the future, the Qiang people will no longer betray the Song Dynasty, and Orchard will definitely lead the tribe to serve the Marshal and the Song Dynasty!"
"good!"
Shen Tang responded with a smile, and then said to Ye Mao, "Prefect Ye, you will choose a good and auspicious day to hold the Orchard Succession Patriarch Hall. At that time, all the generals in our army will come to watch the ceremony!"
Ye Mao nodded and said with a smile, "General, in two days, it will be an auspicious day, and the leader of the Orchard tribe will ascend the throne."
Naturally, the others had no objections and the matter was settled.
The two days were naturally tight, but with the entire clan taking action, Shen Tang's army, and some of Ye Mao's men also came to help, so it was still orderly!
Time flies by. Two days later, in the early morning, the sun rises in the east. The warm sunshine dispels the coldness of Wenshan Mountain. The entire Wenshan Mountain is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. In front of the Qiang Nationality Hall, a three-foot-high platform rises from the ground.
Today's Orchard Chief's Ceremony will be held here.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please invite the patriarch Orchard to ascend the throne!"
An old man with a gray beard stood on the high platform and shouted loudly!
"Bang bang bang!"
The loud gongs and drums are ringing!
"Hoo ho ho!"
The Qiang people below were holding wooden forks and wearing animal skins, cheering and dancing happily!
Orchard was dressed in a rich costume and a feathered hat, with complex paintings on his face. He was holding a jade scepter in his hand that represented the power of the patriarch, and slowly stepped onto the high platform.
Behind him, Wu Hai and another middle-aged man named Meng Hua followed closely!
Several people came to the center of the high platform. Orchard looked at the endless tribesmen below, and he was extremely excited!
Suddenly, he raised the scepter in his hand high and shouted, "We, the Qiang people, have traveled all the way, and countless tribesmen and ancestors have made many hardships.
Now, under the witness of my ancestors, I, Wujia, have become the leader of the Qiang tribe!"
"Here, Orchard swears by his ancestors to treat all tribesmen equally and to treat all tribesmen as brothers! He will never betray his tribe. If he violates this oath, Orchard shall be abandoned by both heaven and man!"
"Ho ho ho ho!"
All the Qiang people below cheered!
Although this change was a bit sudden, the Qiang people did not dare to resist under the pressure of Guwu's authority, but they did have a lot of resentment in their hearts.
Everyone knows about Orchard. Whether it is popularity or ability, he can be recognized by many people. Moreover, if Orchard becomes the clan leader and can make a difference, it is indeed not an unacceptable thing for the Qiang people.
.
"Order Wu Hai to be the guardian of the ethnic group on the left, command the army of the ethnic group, and fight for the ethnic group! Order Meng Hua to be the guardian of the ethnic group on the right and control the civil affairs of the ethnic group."
Although these tribes were under the rule of the Song Dynasty, they were like a small kingdom. Some tribe leaders even directly proclaimed themselves kings, and there were also many who conferred the title of civil servants and generals.
Therefore, Orchard's appointment of Wu Hai and Wu Hai is not surprising.
"In addition, abolish the position of elders, establish a House of Hundreds, and select a hundred capable tribesmen to help me in running the tribe.
The candidates for the House of 100 are determined by voting by all clan members, and they are re-elected every five years, and all those who are unpopular will be replaced!"
When the Qiang people below heard this, they were stunned at first, and then became overjoyed.
Although this system is still not perfect, it is much better than before, and to a certain extent, it allows all tribesmen to become the decision-makers in ethnic affairs. How can this novel experience make them
Not excited?
Subsequently, Orchard announced some other things, all of which were of great benefit to the tribe, and the tribesmen increasingly recognized Orchard, the newly appointed chief of the tribe.
"The leader of the Poison Ivy Tribe came to watch the ceremony and offered a congratulatory gift of five hundred vine armor!"
"The leader of the Poisonous Insect Tribe came to watch the ceremony and presented a gift of thousands of blood worms!"
At this moment, two long shouts suddenly rang out. It turned out to be the two tribe leaders, Poison Insect and Poison Ivy, who arrived in person and presented extremely generous gifts...
