Chapter 387 Demonstrating Gunpowder to the Ironstone Tribe (Edited)
"My thoughts were the same as yours before, but today's victory is all thanks to the people of the Muzhen tribe. We were able to successfully defeat these foreigners."
"Indeed, as you can see, the Muzhen tribe was originally nothing, but they were able to develop into a large tribe on par with us in just a few years. This shows how powerful the strength and supporters behind them are. In troubled times, the strong are respected. I don't think there is anything wrong with this."
"You actually didn't see the various gifts they brought today. Just the pure white salt like snow is not something that ordinary people can get. We support the merger."
"Not only that, the Muzhen tribe has developed even more powerful weapons. You have all heard the rumors about the Muzhen tribe. We have confirmed today that the rumors are true." said the faction supporting the merger.
"Have you seen the weapon? If you haven't, can you tell it's real just by looking at its mouth? What if they are deceiving us in order to achieve a merger?"
"Yes, that's right, we don't support the merger."
"So if we let them show their weapons, will you agree to the merger?" King Muzhen asked.
The opposition was speechless for a moment. If there really were such powerful weapons, what would they do?
The truth is, in their impression, the Muzhen tribe was still too weak.
In the original grassland pattern, the Muzhen tribe was like the scattered tribes today, not worth their attention.
Now, this tribe, which seemed as small as a sesame seed in their eyes, has turned into a super large tribe that can absorb their past. This is simply unimaginable!
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating and arguing, King Tieshi told everyone what he had discussed with the Muzhen tribe today.
After hearing this, the opposition became confused.
On the one hand, they felt that the Muzhen tribe was powerful and it would not be bad for them to join.
On the one hand, they felt that they were originally a pure large tribe, but now they had to rely on a small tribe that was far inferior to them. They were really unwilling to accept it.
King Tieshi and his supporters had to explain the situation in detail from all aspects to the opposition.
Finally, these reactionaries relented a little.
One of their representatives stood up and said to King Tieshi: "King, can we let them show their new weapons tomorrow?
If there really is a new weapon as rumored, we support the merger.”
King Tieshi finally heard the voice of "agreement" and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow. If they bring it, I'll let them show it."
"Okay." said the opposition representative.
At this point, the merger had achieved preliminary unity within the Tieshi tribe.
As the king of a tribe, King Ironstone is actually the one who least wants to merge.
However, there was a huge gap in strength, and they had already offended the foreign tribes. If even the Muzhen tribe refused, then what might await them was possible division.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the representative of the opposition say, "King, we are only discussing here whether to merge or not. If we really merge, we must seek protection for our people. We must make it clear what rights and interests we can enjoy after the merger."
"What you said makes sense. We can discuss the merger requirements here today so that we can talk to the people of the Muzhen tribe tomorrow." King Tieshi said.
Next, everyone began to have a heated discussion about the rights and interests they could obtain for their tribes if they were to merge.
The entire meeting lasted until the early morning before everyone dispersed.
The envoys of the Muzhen tribe were also worried. They tossed and turned for a long time all night before they fell asleep.
The people of the Tieshi tribe were also in shock the whole night, fearing that people from foreign tribes would come back to attack them, and they were on alert all night.
In the entire camp, except for the boys and Gu Fu who had a good sleep, everyone else felt a little tired the next day.
After breakfast, the key figures of the Muzhen tribe were called to the king's tent.
After everyone greeted each other, Song Renjing spoke first.
"King Tieshi, may I ask if there is any result from yesterday's discussion?"
King Tieshi nodded slightly and said, "Do you have any new weapons with you? We want to see the power of the new weapons. Is that possible?"
When Song Renjing heard this, he understood their concerns, so he turned his head to look at Duan Shuhuan inquiringly.
When Duan Shuhuan saw Song Renjing coming, he remembered that his sister Fu'er had helped him collect the things when he came out, so he nodded at Song Renjing.
Song Renjing then said to King Tieshi: "Sure, King, but this weapon is very powerful. King, you can find an open and unused place as a demonstration site.
You can also invite people from your tribe to come and watch, and witness together the strength of our Muzhen tribe."
King Tieshi was delighted when he heard this and said, "Great! Come on, inform the people in the tribe to go fifty miles outside the camp to witness the power of the new weapon."
"Yes!" He followed the order and went down to make arrangements.
King Tieshi continued to say to Song Renjing: "Emissary Song, then you should go back and prepare. We will set off after gathering at the camp gate."
"Okay, let's go back and get it."
"Okay, we'll meet at the camp gate."
"Okay." Song Renjing responded.
In a short while, everyone was in their positions.
Gu Fu also helped Duan Shuhuan find the box of gunpowder, and the smart housekeeper drove an electric tricycle with the gunpowder to the entrance of the camp.
Then he followed King Tieshi and his men to the open grassland fifty miles away from the camp.
Duan Shuhuan looked around the environment and saw that there were no hidden dangers here, so he opened the box of gunpowder.
As Duan Shuhuan opened the box, everyone saw black iron balls neatly arranged inside the box.
For a moment, everyone started talking at once.
Looking at this black thing, it is hard to imagine how much power it can have.
"I'm going to light the gunpowder soon. Everyone must stay away from it. If necessary, you can lie on the ground to avoid being hurt by mistake." Duan Shuhuan reminded responsibly.
Although everyone heard it, they didn't take it seriously and the discussion became more intense.
King Tieshi understands these children. Although they are young, they are very reliable in what they say and do.
Then he gave an order: "You all heard what Envoy Duan said, right? Stay away from me for a while, do you hear me?"
When everyone heard their king speak, they all responded and then took a few steps back.
Duan Shuhuan no longer paid attention to the crowd. He just threw the gunpowder far away from them, then stretched the fuse and lit it.
Then he used his Qinggong skills and ran away desperately.
Everyone looked at the usually calm young man, who suddenly started running desperately. They were shocked at first, and then they found the scene inexplicably funny.
