Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 429 The royal capital changes hands
Li Changfeng really wanted to support Hadang Muren.

The barbarian king has become a prisoner, and he has no plan to occupy the entire barbarian tribe. He must support a new barbarian king who is obedient and respects him.

Hadang Muren's way of ascending to the throne was unfair and Yanshun. Many people would turn against him in the future and he would be able to attract most of the firepower, which would be very beneficial to Da Qian in managing this land in the future.

Moreover, by doing this, all the civil and military officials of the barbarians will focus on how to obtain Hardang Muren instead of putting him on the list, which will also be extremely beneficial to the subsequent surrender work.

The fact was just as he expected. At this time, all the civil and military officials had their eyes on Hardang Muren, with worries, expectations, or fears in their eyes, and they no longer had the mind to think about other things.

Wu Linda was also very anxious when he saw this.

He quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I was the one who shot the arrow that night to report the news. I was the one who told you about the situation of the Barbarian King. I am a meritorious minister!"

"Oh?" Li Changfeng said in surprise, "So it's you."

That night, an arrow was shot in front of the Daqian army. Li Changfeng judged the situation of the Barbarian King from it, and then came up with a strategy to let Li Jianye lead the air force to distribute leaflets.

This strategy still played a great role, and Wu Linda was indeed successful.

"Yes, Your Highness, please have mercy on me!"

Li Changfeng nodded and looked at Hardang Muren: "This person is worthy of reuse."

After that, he continued walking towards the Barbarian King's prison car.

Hardang Muren bowed and said: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Although the Barbarian King could not speak, he could see and hear clearly. His heart was filled with rage, his eyes were wide-eyed, his face was red and his veins were exposed, and he looked like a madman. He kept struggling and made whining sounds from his mouth.

Only then did he truly understand what it meant to be pushed down by the wall, what it meant to be betrayed by everyone, and what it meant to be desperate.

Li Changfeng walked up to him and said calmly: "Here, take the thing out of his mouth."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hadang Muren personally stepped forward and removed the rag from the Barbarian King's mouth.

"Trash! A bunch of trash! It's because of trash like you that our barbarian tribe is in this situation!"

"Where's your backbone? Where's your backbone! You guys are so groveling to the enemy!? The barbarians have all been humiliated by you!"

"My king treats you so favorably, but you rebel against me. Do you still have a conscience?"

"You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"..."

Li Changfeng looked at him indifferently, while Hadang Muren cursed loudly.

"Spine, do you have any backbone? While you were saying that you were going to fight to the death with Da Gan, you were secretly packing up your gold and silver and preparing to run away. Do you think I didn't know? If you hadn't insisted on invading Da Gan and then shamelessly burned it. Will His Highness the Ninth Prince’s Azure Tree be in trouble today? The barbarians owe their existence to you!”

After his rebuke, everyone nodded secretly.

The Barbarian King did have a lot of responsibility for the barbarians' current fate.

Wu Linda also stood up and denounced.

"Conscience? You deserve to mention the word conscience? We are loyal to you, but what did you do to us? You shamelessly detained our family members! Is this what a wise king calls you? You are incompetent, so you are angry with me. You made me vomit blood on the spot, why do you think you are so big-hearted!?"

"You...you..."

The Barbarian King was speechless for a moment, so he avoided the topic and angrily said: "Even so, it can't change the fact that you have no spine. You are all a disgrace to the Barbarians! You will be infamy for thousands of years! I would rather die. Don’t surrender!”

"It seems you have some backbone." Li Changfeng smiled coldly and waved to the guard behind him: "Give me the musket."

"Yes, Marshal!" The guard handed the loaded musket to Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng stroked it gently and said slowly with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "You must have never seen the power of the musket. Today I will let you Experience it for yourself.”

As soon as these words came out, the Barbarian King's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

"Don't worry, I will give you a good time. After all, you are a barbarian king and I will not torture you."

As he spoke, Li Changfeng slowly raised his musket and pressed it against the Barbarian King's forehead.

"Do you have any last words? For example, where is the body buried? I will let someone give you a good burial."

"No! I don't want to die!"

After a brief struggle, the Barbarian King screamed hysterically, with a look of fear on his face.

"Surrender! I am willing to surrender! Please don't kill me!"

"This king is still valuable. I can be a vassal to Daqian and pay tribute every year. You also need me to stabilize the barbarians. Please let me go!"

At this time, the Barbarian King had no trace of his kingly demeanor. He was like a drowning man, struggling with all his strength to seize the last chance of survival.

Hadang Muren was slightly worried.

If Li Changfeng did this, his situation would be very embarrassing.

Fortunately, Li Changfeng refused without hesitation.

"Is this your backbone?"

Li Changfeng sneered, put away the musket and threw it to the guard, waving his hand impatiently.

"Keep it down and keep a close eye on it."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A group of soldiers rushed forward bravely, pulled the prison cart and walked back. The Barbarian King screamed repeatedly, but was severely slapped by the soldiers several times. He fell silent instantly, and tears of humiliation continued to flow.

Li Changfeng looked at Hadang Muren and said in a cold tone: "Except for your direct subordinates who will keep their weapons, all other armies will leave the city and surrender and hand over their weapons. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Hadang Muren was shocked and quickly bowed: "It's His Highness!"

Li Changfeng looked at Nangong Changming and others again, and said with murderous intent: "You obey the order, if any barbarian army takes the opportunity to cause chaos, they will be killed without mercy!"

Hadang Muren sensed the murderous intent in Li Changfeng's words, and secretly rejoiced at how wise his choice was, otherwise it would have been his own men who were cut off.

"Okay, let's get started, it's up to you now."

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

Hardang Muren's eyes also burst out with terrible murderous intent. He knew that Li Changfeng's final test for him had begun, and he had to do it quickly and neatly to reflect his value.

The other generals present became nervous.

Without Li Changfeng's orders, Hadang Muren immediately took control of all the civil and military officials on the scene, and then led his generals into the city in person, and bravely drove the soldiers from each battalion to hand over their weapons.

Then Li Changfeng ordered people to put away all their weapons, drove them into an open space, and pointed artillery guns at them to prevent them from causing chaos.

The process was not very smooth. Several sporadic groups of rebels appeared in the city, but fortunately they were all wiped out by Hardang Muren's army, and nothing happened.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that all the royal capital's army surrendered their weapons. Li Changfeng ordered Hadang Muren's army to take control, and then led the army into the city.

The capital of the barbarian kingdom officially changed hands.
