Li Chengqian cleared his throat and said loudly: "In today's drill, I believe you have all seen the strength of our Ming army.

Now, our work here has been basically completed, and we are about to return to Liaodong."

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the empty field.

"If you Mongolian tribes have anything you want to ask the imperial court for, now is the best time, you can set off immediately.

The imperial court of our Great Ming Dynasty has always governed the world with benevolence. As for the tribes that sincerely submit to us and are willing to work together for the prosperity and stability of the Great Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will certainly treat them with fairness and tolerance.

But let me be frank: you only have one chance. I hope you will consider it carefully and don't miss this opportunity.

If there are any ill intentions, our Ming army will never tolerate them."

Li Chengqian's eyes revealed unquestionable majesty, but also a hint of expectation.

He knew very well that governing the Mongolian tribes required a combination of kindness and severity. He had to demonstrate the Ming's powerful strength to make them in awe, and he also had to give them certain opportunities and hope so that they could truly submit and contribute to the development of the Ming.

After saying these words, Li Chengqian stood there quietly, waiting for the response from the Mongolian tribes. The atmosphere on the scene became tense and full of expectation.

After Li Chengqian announced that he would return to Liaodong, the people of various Mongolian tribes were still immersed in the shocking display of power of the flintlock rifle.

Their faces were filled with shock and their eyes were wide open, as if they couldn't believe what they had just seen.

The thunderous sound of the gunshots seemed to still echo in their ears, and the powerful impact and destructive power filled their hearts with fear.

These Mongols had lived on the grasslands for generations and were accustomed to fighting by riding horses and shooting arrows, but the power demonstrated by the flintlock rifles before them was far beyond their imagination.

They realized that in the face of such weapons, their tribe's traditional military force seemed so small and fragile.

If we confront the Ming Dynasty, we might be swallowed up by this powerful firepower in an instant.

After the shock and fear, a feeling of obedience gradually spread in their hearts.

They began to understand that the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not only the number and combat effectiveness of its troops, but also the possession of such advanced and terrifying weapons.

In the face of absolute strength, resistance seems meaningless.

They thought of what Li Chengqian had said before, about the possible benefits that could be obtained after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, such as mutual trade, which were extremely attractive to the survival and development of the tribe.

At this moment, they have begun to tend to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Although they still feel some confusion and uneasiness in their hearts, reality forces them to make this choice.

When Li Chengqian led the team to leave, the leaders of the major tribes led their people to kneel down and see them off.

They had mixed feelings in their hearts, including worry about the unknown future and awe of the powerful strength of the Ming Dynasty.

At that moment of kneeling, they thought about how the fate of the tribe would change under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

They know that this is a difficult decision, but it is also the wisest choice at the moment.

At the same time, some tribal leaders secretly planned in their hearts and decided to send spies to Liaodong to find out the situation.

Although they witnessed the strength of the Ming army and the power of the flintlock rifles, they still had doubts about whether the Qing Dynasty was really destroyed.

After all, the Qing Dynasty was once a powerful force and had a certain influence on this land.

They needed accurate information to confirm the situation so that they could better plan for the future of the tribe.

If the Qing dynasty had really collapsed, then they would have to cooperate wholeheartedly with the Ming dynasty;

But if there are other variables, they also need to prepare in advance to gain more living space and benefits for the tribe.

As Li Chengqian's team gradually went away, people from the major Mongolian tribes still knelt on the ground, looking in the direction they left, their hearts filled with confusion and expectations for the future.

This grassland may be about to usher in a new era, and they must find their own way to survive in the tide of this era.

The time of time travel has come, and Li Chengqian and his party return to the familiar East Palace.

As soon as they landed, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.

Everything in the East Palace is still familiar and friendly. The buildings with carved beams and painted rafters and the staggered courtyards seem to be quietly telling of the peaceful years.

However, their hearts could not calm down. Everything they had just experienced in another time and space was like a thrilling adventure, which was deeply imprinted in their minds.

Li Chengqian stood in the courtyard, looking up slightly, the sunlight shining on his face, but he was lost in thought.

Although he returned to a familiar environment, his thoughts still lingered on the land of Ming Dynasty.

He thought of those Mongolian tribes and wondered what choices they would make after he left, and where the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia would go.

Also, will the powerful flintlock rifle be more widely used in the Ming army, thus changing the pattern of war?

He was deeply concerned about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. It was an era full of variables and possibilities. He wished he could witness with his own eyes how the Ming Dynasty continued to move forward in the long river of history.

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others were also immersed in their own thoughts.

Some were recalling the battle with Dorgon, the tense and exciting scene seemed to be still vivid in their minds;

Some are thinking about what kind of benefits the border trade will bring to the people if it is carried out smoothly.

Although they were very interested in how the situation in the Ming Dynasty would develop, they had no time to explore further.

Because in this familiar East Palace, they also have their own responsibilities and missions.

Despite many reluctances and concerns in my heart, life goes on.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, turned around and said to his followers: "Now that we are back, we should focus on the present.

Although we cannot know the future of the Ming Dynasty directly, we can work hard to make better changes for our East Palace and our Tang Dynasty here. "

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, there are still many things to deal with.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others immediately began to arrange the land tax and maritime trade.

The others also went about their own business.

The hybrid rice harvest was good, and the blast furnace produced the first batch of qualified molten steel.

The first steam engine developed by Datang was also officially started, emitting thick black smoke, which seemed to herald the arrival of Datang's industrial revolution.

Everything is going on the right track. The next step will be the dirty country in the east that lives a happy life...
