Wushi tribe.
In the big tent, a eunuch stood directly above and was reading the royal edict.
Below is kneeling Wu Yi and a group of Wushi clan members.
The edict of the Qin State is not that golden yellow, but has a black background and gold edges, which is very grand.
The content of the royal edict was to grant corresponding official positions to some of the elite backbones of Wuyi and Wushi.
This is not only true for him, but also for the Yi tribe and the Di Qiang. During the period when Lu Fan took office, Xiao Yuan's royal orders had been spread to various parts of Western Xinjiang.
This also adopted part of Qin Prime Minister Liu Yuzhi's concept of using the army to rule the army, as well as considerations of appeasement and political factors.
This is a royal edict, a real court appointment. The regular official position in the Qin State is not the miscellaneous things like tribal leader or clan leader in the past.
By the time the edict was finished reading, the Wushi people kneeling below were already beaming with joy and shouted in unison: "I will obey the king's order——"
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu." The eunuch also put away the edict and handed it to the latter.
Wu Yi quickly raised his hands and took it respectfully. After standing up, he also said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law has traveled thousands of miles, and I have been tired of traveling and traveling. I have asked people to hold a banquet. I only hope to be able to welcome my father-in-law and wash away the dust."
"Easy to say, easy to say." The eunuch didn't mean to be polite.
Seeing this, Wu Yi quickly signaled to someone: "Hurry, Keti."
The latter responded, then bent down and stretched out his hand: "Father-in-law, please."
"Yes." The eunuch nodded, and walked away with great style, his hands behind his back.
After sending him away temporarily, Wu Yi couldn't help but unfold the edict and read it, then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this royal edict is orthodox..."
Seeing his happy look, one of his subordinates quickly flattered him: "Congratulations, chief. Congratulations, chief."
"Well?" Wu Yi raised his eyebrows and said slightly displeased: "What kind of leader? I am now working in Xining, a dignified official of the imperial court."
When the subordinates heard this, they quickly changed their words and said: "Yes, yes, I am a clumsy person. Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir..."
"Haha, okay, okay." Wu Yi smiled heartily. Although he was the leader of the Wu clan, before, in terms of status, he was at most a leader among the civilians. Now that he has become a regular official, how can he Not happy yet.
And this person in Xining is not an empty position. He has a certain right to speak. Just like when there are decisions in Xining County, he is fully qualified to participate in meetings and put forward his own opinions. He also has the right to be in charge of some government affairs.
When he was happy, Wu Yi did not forget to say: "I heard that people from this palace should not be offended easily. Please entertain the little father-in-law. Don't let others say bad things about us."
"Yes." His subordinates quickly returned. The people here who listened to the imperial edict were more or less appointed to official positions. Although many of them were minor officials, their previous status was no longer the same.
It was like this here, and it was similar over there with the Di Qiang and Yi people. A few days later, Lu Fan finally arrived near Rongdu after more than half a month.
Of course, the current Rongdu has been renamed Xining City, which is equivalent to the capital of the entire Western Xinjiang.
The Qin garrison is not far from this city and is equivalent to the Western Xinjiang Military Region.
At the moment, Lu Fan has not yet entered Xining City, but has met with Goldman Sachs first.
Goldman Sachs was the commander-in-chief of the garrison. Naturally, he had already received the news of Lu Fan's appointment. When he learned of his arrival, he personally welcomed him out of the military camp.
When the two parties met, he laughed heartily, then stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Lu is still as charming as ever."
"Come on, General Gao is joking." Lu Fan returned the salute. The two of them had worked together in the army many times before, so they naturally exchanged polite greetings.
After the conversation was over, Goldman Sachs turned sideways and extended his hand: "Mr. Lu, please."
"General please."
Afterwards, the two came to the military tent. After taking their seats, the sergeant served tea. Goldman Sachs was also the first to speak: "Previously, Western Xinjiang has been under military control, and many things were difficult to deal with. Now that Mr. Lu is here, I will The troops in each city were evacuated one after another."
While listening, Lu Fan nodded and said, "How about the people in Xining and nearby areas?"
Goldman Sachs said: "After the King of Xirong was annihilated, he had already ordered to post notices to calm the people, but most of them couldn't understand it. But fortunately, they passed it on to ten, and then passed it on to hundreds. After knowing that Western Xinjiang had completely belonged to the Qin State, those reasons The tribal people who fled the war are now gradually returning to their places of residence, and the population in Xining City is also gradually increasing."
"Well, that's good." This was the thing that Lu Fan was most worried about. Now after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel relieved and said: "Whether Western Xinjiang will be stable in the future, we still need a lot of help from the generals."
Upon hearing this, Goldman Sachs said directly: "The garrison will never refuse to do what the garrison should do. If there is any riot, Mr. Lu will only write a letter."
"In that case, I would like to thank the general first." Lu Fan bowed his hand.
"Master Lu, what are you talking about?" Goldman Sachs waved his hand and said with a smile: "From now on, Western Xinjiang will all depend on Master Lu. This place is a top priority for our country."
"Yes, your Majesty specifically asked me to do my best no matter how difficult the road ahead is." Lu Fan sighed.
"What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true." Goldman Sachs smiled heartily and picked up the tea cup: "Come, let's drink tea first and drink later. We must not get drunk before returning."
"This... well, the general invited me, how dare I refuse."
That night, Lu Fan and Goldman exchanged glasses and had a great conversation.
In terms of the entire Western Xinjiang region, it is equivalent to a province. Lu Fan is the incoming leader of the administration, and the main responsibility of the garrison is to guard Western Xinjiang.
The two have a clear division of labor. No one has the right to directly command the other, but mutual assistance is necessary.
Lu Fan and his party had been traveling all the way and had not rested for many days. After dinner, they rested all night in the military camp.
The next day, Goldman Sachs sent him off in person, and both parties said goodbye. Lu Fan began to enter Xining City with two thousand guards.
This is the former Rongdu. The building is completely city-like, and the top of the city gate has been replaced by two Chinese characters: Xining.
At this moment, there are many people waiting at the city gate.
These include Wuyi, Tala, Diqiang and other ethnic groups.
When the previous imperial edict arrived at each tribe, it was accompanied by official uniforms and credentials.
At the moment, everyone was wearing the official uniforms of the Qin State. When they saw Lu Fan, they knew that he was the appointed chief official. They couldn't help but bowed down and bowed deeply: "Welcome to Sir Lu——"
"My lords, you are polite." Lu Fan did not put on any airs, but quickly got off his horse, raised his hands and returned the salute to everyone.
Then reach out slightly to the side.
The guard general understood the idea and immediately handed over the edict respectfully.
Lu Fan unfolded it, looked around, and began to read aloud:
"The king's decree."
Everyone knelt down.
"Lü Fan is hereby appointed as the Protector of Xining to take charge of all important government affairs in Western Xinjiang..."
