Chapter 74 Elections

The Qiang generals from various tribes are all here, and the next step is to launch the candidates for leaders.

According to Yue Wu, there were 53 Qiang tribes who came to discuss the matter this time, all of which were large tribes of tens of thousands of people.

On February 27th, the Qiang people in Kuanghan City went out of the city to worship the mountain god, also known as the mountain worship meeting.

This is one of the two most important festivals of the Qiang people.

Another one is the Qiang calendar year, which is in September.

The ancestors of the Qiang people used sheep as their main source of living and also as their totems. Therefore, most of the Qiang people tied wool ropes around their necks to indicate that they were the same as the sheep. Later, the Qiang people gradually stabilized from "living on the mountain and building stones into rooms" to "living on the mountain, building stones into rooms". While developing animal husbandry, they also promoted agriculture and had a mountain sacrifice meeting. By worshiping the mountain gods, they hope that the gods could bless the weather and the harvest of grains.

During this period, all Qiang people were forbidden to go up the mountain to chop firewood, mow grass, dig seedlings, hunt, etc.

Ning Wu walked beside Yuewu and listened to the Qiang brother talking about the traditional culture of the Qiang people.

The sacrificial procedures are extremely cumbersome. When the mountain god was worshipped and returned to Shihan County, it was almost dark.

A high platform was set up on the lawn outside the city with the Qiang sheep totems inserted on it. The 53 Qiang heroes sat around the platform. On the table in front of them were filled with wine, meat, melons and fruits.

"Everyone, we gather here today. I believe everyone knows why. That's right, it's just to select a real leader and lead our Qiang people to a better tomorrow." The person in charge of the host was a kind-looking Qiang man, who was a little short and fat, and always had a smile on his face when he spoke.

The location of the Ganlang Qiang is divided on the left side of the platform, and Ning Wu is naturally here. He glanced at the heroes of different tribes around him, and they were all ready to go. It really means holding a hero meeting in martial arts novels and selecting the leader of the martial arts world.

"Stop talking about it. Just talk about how to choose, just say it! I can't wait!"

A bad-tempered man on the right got up and shouted.

"This is the heroic handsome man from Han Qiang, named Wu Zhu, and he is also a fighting guy!"

Ning Wu didn't know him, so Yuewu acted as an interviewer.

The other Qiang heroes and coaches also started to make a fuss while drinking and eating meat: "Yes, yes, don't mess with those useless ones, hurry up and start!"

The fat Qiang people on the stage nodded and still kept a smile: "Since everyone doesn't want to listen to my longing, then those who are willing to take on this position can now stand on the stage and others will conduct fair and just elections."

As the words came to the ground, there was a sound of getting up.

Ning Wu looked around and said, "Good guy, at least most of it."

"Brother, you can sit here for a while, I'll go up first."

Yuewu also stood up and said to Ning Wu.

Ning Wu nodded slightly.

On the wide table, people were striking at this moment, and there were as many as thirty-eight competitors.

"Ma Teng, aren't you a Han guy? Why are you here too!"

After Wu Zhu recognized Ma Teng, he raised his voice very high.

Ma Teng had already responded to this: "My mother is a Qiang girl, and my body is filled with blood from Qiang people. Why aren't she considered Qiang people?"

But his face was still not very good at this moment because he found out that he was being humbled by Han Sui and Song Jian. When he was drinking before, the two of them had clearly agreed to support him with all their strength, but now they actually sent their people to the election. Isn’t this obviously trying to compete with him?

But now is not the time to tear apart. Since you two don’t trust, I will fight with you to the end!

Ma Teng said hatefully in his heart, without your support, I can still take the position of this leader!

After confirming that no one came to power again, the fat Qiang people continued to go down according to the process, and asked the competitive heroes to issue declarations in turn to tell how the Qiang tribe will be strengthened after becoming the leader.

"I'll do it first!"

Wu Zhu rolled his sleeves, stood in front, and said loudly: "If I become the leader, everyone will definitely be able to eat and drink delicious food, and I will get countless land and cattle and sheep every year..."

The saliva on the stage flew everywhere, and Ning Wu below the stage shook his head secretly.

This kind of speech does sound like a longing, but the probability of it being realized is not high, which is the same as painting a big pie.

After Wuzhu, the other heroes spoke in turn, and the content was roughly the same, nothing more than one word: grab.

Who to steal?

Naturally, they are Han people with a wider region.

Even Ma Teng is no exception. In his opinion, only by using interests to tie these Qiang people can they better work for themselves.

When Yuewu spoke, this man who was usually heroic and straightforward, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and looked at the Qiang people below with a serious expression: "To be honest, I don't want to fight."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, obviously unable to react.

Everyone in front of me was full of passion. Why did the style of painting change when it came to Yuewu?

Yuewu ignored everyone's shock and continued: "The Qiang men are brave, but we look forward to peace more. If we could have a stable life and a happy family, I believe that most people would not choose to rebel..."

However, before they finished speaking, some of the heroic tribes who were usually hostile to Ganlang Qiang began to start a rhythm and shouted and scolded: "Yowu, you coward, get out!"

"Get down! Get down!"

Many people followed suit and mocked Yuewu for being timid.

Yuewu stood there, motionless. After everyone's angry voices became less, he continued, "Some time ago, the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty came to my Ganlang Qiang Tribe as a guest. I believe many of the people here should know him, that is, Brother Dong Zhuo of the past. He said that the Qiang rebellion was not the fault of the Qiang people, but the Han officials were overly exploited, and the Qiang people lived a bad life, so they rebelled and rebelled with the trend."

"As long as the Qiang people no longer cause trouble, he promises that we can all have clothes and food to eat!"

"He is now the Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, above ten thousand people, but he has not changed, and he is still like he used to be. We eat at the same table and sleep on the same bed, and he still treats me, Yuewu as his brother!"

"So, I, Ganlang Qiang, took the lead in expressing my opinion here and was willing to negotiate peace with the Han court!"

Yuewu said loudly on the stage, and he also knew the consequences of saying these words.

Sure enough, many Qiang generals turned against each other on the spot and scolded: "Yuewu, you are still the leader of the tribe of Ganlang Qiang. It really embarrasses our Qiang people, and they are so humble that they become Han people's lackeys!"

Listening to everyone's angrily scolding, Yuewu's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with both hands, and his arms were bulging.

Finally, he was so angry that he stepped down from the stage amidst the swearing, saying that he abstained from power.

Back at the seat, Ning Wu patted Yuewu's shoulder. Yuewu turned around, Ning Wu's expression seemed a little guilty and said, "It's really hard for you, Brother Yuewu!"
