Chapter 263
At this time, Ye Su'er was sitting in the king's tent at the foot of Longyuan Mountain.

Frowning beside him, the old shaman in divine clothes looked extremely solemn.

"National Teacher, Da Li has already conquered the Great Zhou and the Wuman tribes, and now he is going to conquer the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms. The next one must be our Longyuan Royal Court. What should we do?"

Ye Su'er frowned and asked in a low voice.

Now Dali's ambition is known to everyone, he has to guard against it.

But the strength of Longyuan Royal Court alone is not enough to resist Dali's attack.

As early as five years ago, they had already seen Dali's strength, and in the past five years, Dali's strength has improved rapidly, and various rumors continued to come from Dali.

"Khan, we have to make a choice before Dali conquers us, surrender or fight, we can only choose one." The old shaman said.

Ye Su'er had a contemplative expression on his rough face, and asked, "How should I submit, how should I resist?"

The old shaman said in a low voice: "If you choose to surrender, the Great Khan will give up his honorable throne. Before Dali conquers the eight Buddhist kingdoms, he will present the letter of credence to the Dali court and bow his head as a vassal. In this way, the Great Khan can borrow the throne in exchange for Dali." A noble title of Li is like that of the Wuman tribe."

"If you want to fight, the Great Khan will immediately send envoys to the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms to persuade them to form an alliance against Dali. When Dali attacks the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms, send troops to attack Dali to support the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms."

Ye Su'er frowned even more after listening.

He wanted neither option.

He just wants to be his prairie king honestly.

But he also knew it was impossible.

Dali would not allow it, and the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms would not allow him to be peaceful, and would definitely do everything possible to drag him into trouble.

Facing the powerful Dali Dynasty, as long as the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms are not stupid, they will definitely unite all forces that can be united to resist.

"How do the national teachers think we should choose?" he asked.

The old shaman was silent for a moment and said, "Surrender!"

"Why?" Ye Suer said dissatisfied.

He is more inclined to fight to the death than surrender.

He is not a coward and he is not afraid to fight.

"If you choose to surrender, you can live and protect the herdsmen on the prairie, but fighting is just a meaningless struggle."

"Dali is too powerful. According to what we know about Dali, the Dali dynasty has at least ten great masters, or even more. Unless we can get the hermit sect to take action, we have no chance."

The old shaman said.

In the past, the hermit sect was a secret in the practice world, and few people knew about it.

But in recent years, the hermit sects have shown up frequently, and they have gone out to sea with great fanfare. Their existence is no longer a secret.

Ye Su'er lowered his head and pondered.

Looking for help from the Yinxiu sect, he, the Great Khan of the Grassland, doesn't have such a big face.

Besides, there is a price to be paid for asking the hermit sect to help. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

More importantly, he didn't know how to contact the hermit sect.

After thinking about it, it seemed that he really had no chance to choose.

"Go to Dali Capital and be an idle nobleman!" Ye Su'er murmured in a low voice.

Now Gelai is an idle nobleman, Zheng Ming didn't make things difficult for him too much, nor did he pay too much attention to him, he just gave him the title of Uncle Annan.

If he chooses to surrender, the probability is the same.

"Khan, our advantage lies in the unified royal court. If we choose to surrender now, we may be able to obtain greater benefits." The old shaman raised his head, his sunken eyes were deep and distant.

"What if I choose not to surrender?" Ye Su'er suddenly stared at the old shaman closely.

The old shaman sighed and said, "The Great Khan has a choice, but the Shamanism has no choice."

Their shamanism and Ye Suer are in a cooperative relationship. For them, the inheritance of shamanism is more important than the royal court.

Although joining Dali will lose a lot, if they can get the support of the Dali Temple, their shamanism may become more powerful.

Just like the current Witch Temple.

Now the masters of the Wushen Temple not only joined the worship hall, but also entered a hundred schools of thought, forming a unique branch in a hundred schools of thought.

If their shamanism surrendered to Dali, at least they could get treatment from the Witch God Temple.

This moved him a little.

Ye Su'er felt bitter, there were two choices, but in the end it was still one.

Without the support of the shamanism, his position as a Great Khan would not be stable, so how could he lead the various tribes to resist Dali.

It is estimated that at that time, he will face betrayal.

"I understand!" Ye Suer said helplessly.

"Great Khan, those who know the current affairs are heroes. It is not a bad thing for the Khan to submit to Dali. With the title, coupled with the support of shamanism and the major tribes in the grassland, the Khan will definitely be in Dali. Great plans." The old shaman comforted.

"You old man knows how to fool me. You were the one who made me unify the grassland, and now you are the one who made me give up the royal court. Hmph, I will never trust you again." Ye Su'er said angrily.

The old shaman smiled, and said, "The Great Khan is now the king on the grassland, which already shows that what the old man said back then was not wrong."

Ye Su'er took a deep breath and said: "It's fine, fine, I don't bother to talk to you, I'll write a letter of credence to His Majesty Li Huang now."

The relationship between him and the old shaman is very complicated, including monarchs, ministers, masters and apprentices, and collaborators.

But it cannot be denied that the old shaman has helped him a lot over the years.

……

Great Jin Dynasty, Shangjing, in the majestic hall.

The Golden Emperor Wanyan Cheng stood in front of Wanyan Hao respectfully, and described the actions of the Protectorate in the west of Dali.

After Wanyan Hao finished listening, his eyes flickered.

He is more aware of Dali's strength than Ye Su'er, but the Dajin Dynasty is also stronger than the Longyuan Dynasty.

"Old Ancestor, the opinion of all the ministers in the court is that the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms and the Longyuan Royal Court will resist Dali together." Wan Yancheng said.

Wan Yanhao shook his head and said, "It's not enough to unite with them, the key is the hermit sect."

The royal hegemony is divided into two parts, one part is the battle of the armies, and the other part is the confrontation of the great masters.

The combination of the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms and the Longyuan Royal Court may be able to resist the attack of Da Li's army, but it cannot resist the Grand Master.

The strength of Dali is not a single strength, but an overall strength. The national power, military, and high-level powerhouses are all very powerful.

"But now the people who cultivate the sect are all in Xianling Palace." He frowned and said.

In fact, he also wanted to enter the Fairy Palace, but the situation of his Dajin Dynasty did not allow him to enter.

It would be risky to enter the Fairy Spirit Palace, and he might not be able to come back. Without his support, the Dajin Dynasty might soon fall.

But now it seems that with his support, the Great Jin Dynasty will also fall.

He pondered for a long time, and said: "Now you send people to Xianling Palace immediately, and when the people from the major hermit sects come out, tell them about this immediately."

"In addition, immediately summon the army to reinforce the southern frontier army and put pressure on Dali, but before the end of the fairy palace, don't act rashly."

Now Dali is only attacking the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms, and their Dajin Dynasty still has time to react.

The key lies in the attitude of the hermit sect.

The Hermit sect will definitely not watch Dali dominate the entire Nine Regions of China, they will definitely come out to check and balance Dali.

So he was waiting, waiting for the fairy palace to close, and waiting for the people who practiced the sect to make a decision.

……

Dali Kyoto.

The outside world is turbulent, but the palace is peaceful.

Zheng Ming stayed in Fengyi Hall, sitting lazily on the rocking chair.

Dongfang Bubai squeezed his shoulders behind his back, while Lian Xing and Wei Yu took care of the two little guys respectively.

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask His Majesty for permission."

Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai said.

Zheng Ming asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"I want to be a general." Dongfang Bubai frowned, looking at him expectantly.

Zheng Ming raised his head, seeing her beautiful appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Before, Dongfang Bubai was restless in the palace, and insisted on becoming the leader of the East. Now that he is back, he has been in peace for two years, and wants to become a general again.

"What general do you want? Isn't it good to stay in the palace?"

"The palace is too boring." Dongfang pouted.

"I didn't restrict you from leaving the palace." Zheng Ming said.

"But there is nothing interesting in Kyoto." Dongfang said.

Zheng Ming was speechless, he was a restless master, no amount of words could persuade him.

"It's okay to be a general. You can go and be a deputy general for Yuan Hualing. It is estimated that the Dajin Dynasty will soon be unstoppable. At that time, you can go out with Yuan Hualing."

"Thank you Your Majesty, slave." Dongfang Bubai immediately thanked him with great joy after hearing the words.

While several people were talking, Xiao Fuzi came over and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xin and Lord Du are asking to see you."

Zheng Ming asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Royal Court of the Grassland has sent the letter of credence, and they must bow their heads and bow their heads!" Xiao Fuzi explained.

Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

"This Ye Suer would actually make such a choice."

"Go and see."

While speaking, he stood up and looked at the two little guys who were still sleeping, then left Fengyi Palace and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the study room in the hall, Xin Qiji and Du Ruhui were waiting.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Zheng Ming waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

Xin Qiji handed the letter of credence of the Grassland Royal Court to Zheng Ming, and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Su'er is willing to bow his head and be a minister, but he has too many demands."

Zheng Ming opened the letter of credence and read it.

Ye Su'er also opened his mouth like a lion, not only asking for the title of king, but also the entire grassland as his fiefdom, which means he wants to be a vassal king.

"What a beautiful idea!" Zheng Ming said with a gentle smile.

"What's your opinion?"

He looked at Xin Qiji and Du Ruhui.

Xin Qiji thought for a while and said, "You can't establish a vassal king, but you can win it quickly."

"The Northwest Grassland is between the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms. If we can win over, we can cut off the connection between the Dajin Dynasty and the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms. Therefore, I suggest granting the Marquis of Yesuer and asking him to enter Beijing."

"I think I can get in touch with shamanism first." Du Ruhui said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

Although the strength of the Grassland Royal Court is not strong, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, and all of them are cavalry. It is inevitable that a lot of energy will be wasted if they fight.

His goal is to unify the entire Nine Regions of China. He faces countless enemies and forces. He doesn't know how much time it will take. If the royal court of the grassland can be resolved peacefully, it will be a good thing for Dali.

"How about this, let the Ministry of Rites send an envoy to the grassland royal court. The Marquis rank is too high, so give him a North Amber. You can make concessions on land closure and rewards, but you must not let him stay on the grassland. " Zheng Ming said.

"I obey the order." Xin Qiji replied.

Zheng Ming thought for a while, and then said, "Those dynasties in the south can do the same."

"More than a dozen dynasties, each with three earls, what do you think?"

Now that Dali has occupied the Great Zhou Dynasty, after conquering the Eight Great Buddha Kingdoms and the Great Jin Dynasty, the next step is the south.

The forces in the south are relatively complex. There is the Thousand Islands Alliance and more than a dozen dynasties, and they are constantly conquering each other.

Although the strength of these forces is not strong, it is very troublesome to conquer them one by one.

Dividing their interior with a few titles and wooing some grasshoppers should save a lot of trouble.

Du Ruhui frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, although this will save a lot of trouble, it may cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers."

"The soldiers are fighting desperately, just wanting to win a fortune. His Majesty rewards the outside world with titles, so there must be no less soldiers in the army."

Although Zheng Ming has lowered the treatment of princes and nobles, for lieutenant officers and soldiers, obtaining titles through military exploits is still the greatest honor.

Zheng Ming tapped on the table, Du Ruhui was right, you can't favor one person over another.

The title represents glory and wealth, and is one of the greatest pursuits of soldiers in the army.If you wantonly reward outsiders, it will inevitably make the soldiers dissatisfied.

And now Dali's nobility system has been changed from the original hereditary system to the hereditary system, which means that the inheritance will be lowered one level at a time.In this way, the number of nobles in later generations can be greatly reduced.

"Military merit conferment!"

Zheng Ming said softly: "Establish a complete system of conferring titles for military merit, and divide the titles into [-] grades. Dukes and uncles are hereditary, and the latter [-] grades are not hereditary, but they can be received by sons and fathers. The specific military merit requirements and Salary, your cabinet and the governor's mansion will agree together."

Xin Qiji and Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, they both thought this method was good.

"The minister waits to obey the order." The two replied.

Now Dali's title is only the third rank of Duke Duke, and it is very difficult to obtain a title.

After Zheng Ming ascended the throne, not a single title was confiscated, not only that, but also copied many old nobles.

But now is the time of great expansion, the war will last for many years, and the title is unavoidable, but the Duke and Duke are too honorable to be granted lightly.
But the hard work and loyalty of the soldiers cannot be let down, and there is a complete system of conferring military merits to give the soldiers an explanation.
