Zangbu Dagan was regarded by Danma as a target to face Zhu Kai, and he also knew that if he followed Danma, no matter whether Danma's plan succeeded or not, his outcome would not be good.

When Danma retreated, Zangbudagan broke free of Danma's hand and ran to Zhu Kai: "Second Prince, don't listen to Danma's nonsense. I never thought of joining forces with him to deal with you. It was Danma who wanted to threaten me. I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty and will never be an enemy of the Second Prince or the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Kai ignored him and continued to step forward. As he walked forward, a Remington shotgun appeared in Zhu Kai's hand. He made a gun flower with the gun in his hand. With a "click", the bullet was loaded. Seeing the Danma guard in front of him, he did not need to aim at all and shot him directly.

Bang!
A burst of fireworks appeared!
The guard who was rushing towards Zhu Kai was knocked back by the shock wave of the Remington shotgun.

Then he made another gun flower and fired another shot.

Bang!
Just like the situation just now, flames appeared and the person flew backwards.

The three hundred personal soldiers behind Zhu Kai, holding AK47s and M16s, or using pistols, fired in a fan-shaped pattern around Zhu Kai.

This was the shooting method Zhu Kai taught them, because when firing, it is easy to lose control of the gun, causing greater harm to the people around, which Zhu Kai did not want to see, so he focused on safety. Besides, this is not the era of hot weapons warfare in the future, so even if it is just point-fire, the enemy can be solved.

Danma was confused. He always believed that there were two thousand guards in the palace, which were enough to control Zhu Kai. But now... Zhu Kai took out the shotgun, and three hundred personal soldiers were armed with AK47 and M16. Before Danma's guards got close, they fell to the ground first.

What kind of weapon is in Zhu Kai's hand that can send people flying backwards through the air?
Nangaba Zangbu and Zangbu Dagan, who had just joined Zhu Kai, were both shocked when they saw Zhu Kai attacking them with weapons they had never seen before.

What kind of weapon is this?
Never seen before, never heard of before.

"No wonder the respected Second Prince dared to come to U-Tsang with 300 personal soldiers. It turns out he has a secret weapon in his hands."

Nangabazangbu looked at the weapons in Zhu Kai and his personal soldiers' hands, his eyes shining!

Being able to knock someone flying from such a distance, the weapon in Zhu Kai's hand... is a divine weapon!
Before, Zhu Kai was just given the name of Mahakala, but now it seems that Zhu Kai is Mahakala... Otherwise, who else except gods can possess such a weapon?

Zhu Kai must be a god!

definitely is!

Nangaba Zangbu thought that his chance had come. He wanted to help Zhu Kai persuade the guard Danma to surrender: "You have offended the god Mahakala. He and his followers are using the weapons of the gods to punish you. Danma is a heretic. He is the scum of our U-Tsang. Do you still want to go down the same path with him and betray your own god?"

The Tsangbudagan next to him also shouted loudly: "I am Tsangbudagan, the chieftain of the Guge tribe, and the commander of U-Tsang appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness the Second Prince is our honored guest, and also the Mahakala of U-Tsang. Kneel down and beg for mercy, beg for the forgiveness of Mahakala, and I will spare you from death!"

Zangbu Dagan did not want too many people from the Danma tribe to be killed or injured because of Danma's selfishness. After all, Danma was also a member of the Guge tribe. If too many of them were killed or injured, it would have a great impact on the Guge tribe. Mangyu and Bulang might take advantage of the situation and jointly attack the Guge tribe. At that time, he would not be able to keep the official position of the U-Tsang Commandery appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, which would be another matter.

Therefore, Zangbudagan said it in advance and then went to talk to Zhu Kai... If the negotiations with Zhu Kai broke down, he still had an official position in the Ming Dynasty and could report to Zhu Yuanzhang and ask Zhu Yuanzhang to stop Zhu Kai's behavior.

But what Zangbudagan didn't know was that Zhu Kai was also unwilling to let so many people die. The Ming Dynasty now needed population, and Zhu Kai also needed population to speed up the development of the Ming Dynasty. In Zhu Kai's view, killing Danma was enough to intimidate U-Tsang. Besides, Zangbudagan had already been completely convinced. Nangaba Zangbu, as the acting imperial tutor of U-Tsang, was the spiritual pillar and support of the people of U-Tsang. Therefore, with these two people submitting to Zhu Kai, Zhu Kai would not worry about any trouble caused by the two tribes of Bulang and Mangyu.

"Stop shooting!"

At Zhu Kai's command, all the soldiers stopped shooting.

But every soldier raised his gun and looked vigilantly at the Danma guard kneeling on the ground.

At this time, Danma, who was hiding behind the crowd, was already preparing to run away. He really didn't expect that Zhu Kai had a weapon in his hand that he had never seen before. At first, Danma was frightened and stood there like a wooden chicken. Later, a steel ball from a shotgun hit his arm, and the severe pain brought him back to his senses.

Danma’s first reaction was: It’s over!
Not only would he be finished, but the entire Danma tribe would be finished as well. If he didn't kill Zhu Kai, he would become the target of public criticism. Although U-Tsang was large, there was no place for him to stay.

Danma’s first reaction was to run!
Leave U-Tsang and flee to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. The people there are enemies of the Ming Dynasty and they will definitely be willing to take you in.

After figuring out all these things, Danma immediately returned to the palace, took the gold and silver and prepared to escape, but... Danma never expected that Zhu Kai quickly put down the rebellion of the Danma tribe and recruited the guards in the palace under his command. Before Danma could finish packing up the gold and silver, he was caught by the soldiers who swarmed in and was brought to Zhu Kai.

When Danma knelt in front of Zhu Kai, he was really scared. When he saw Zhu Kai, his eyes were filled with fear. When he knelt on the ground, he didn't even have the courage to look up at Zhu Kai.

It was a complete defeat. In just a cup of tea, Danma was completely defeated!
"Your Highness, Second Prince, please spare my life! Please spare my life!"

Danma at this moment was no longer the Danma who wanted to put Zhu Kai under house arrest. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Kai repeatedly, begging for mercy: "I was also deceived by the villain and believed in the slander. Please spare my life, Your Highness. I am willing to offer you all my wealth."

Zhu Kai didn't want to listen to his nonsense and kicked him on the shoulder: "Whether you live or die, your wealth will be mine."

Looking at Danma lying on the ground, Zhu Kai spat and said, "You are such a jerk. You didn't want to do business with me properly. Now that you have lost both your money and your life, you are begging for mercy. What were you doing before?"

What's the point of believing someone else's pie in the sky?
Zhu Kai waved his hand, signaling to take Danma away. Zhu Kai had not yet decided how to punish him. Now was the time to divide the cake.

There is no doubt that Danma's behavior made the entire Guge tribe the biggest loser. Although Zangbu Dagan stood firmly by Zhu Kai at the critical moment, this did not affect his punishment. Zangbu Dagan seemed to be aware of his fate, so after Danma left, he knelt on the ground and prostrated himself in front of Zhu Kai:
"I'm sorry to have frightened you, Your Highness. Please punish me severely."

Zhu Kai thought for a moment, and said to Zangbu Dagan: "The Danma tribe will disappear from now on, and all the people will be handed over to the management of the Shedishi."

Nangaba Zangbu agreed without hesitation. He knew that he had made the right bet again this time. Following Zhu Kai was indeed the best choice. He also knew what Zhu Kai meant by handing over the people of the Danma tribe to him. In the end, these people would all belong to Zhu Kai's hands anyway. He was just a tool in Zhu Kai's hands.

However, Nangabazangbu was not discouraged at all. He had just joined Zhu Kai and had already become Zhu Kai's tool. Wouldn't he be able to take on more responsibilities in the future?
Dear Second Prince, please continue to use me!
Nangaba Zangbu felt that the punishment for the Guge tribe was too light, and said to Zangbo Dagan: "Guge Tusi, because of your behavior, your Highness's trip to U-Tsang has become imperfect. Shouldn't you make some compensation for this?"

“……” Zangbu Dagan wanted to strangle Nangaba Zangbu to death. I have handed the Danma tribe over to you, what other compensation do you want?
Danma was originally one of the most powerful tribes in the Guge tribe. Now Danma was defeated and killed, and his tribe was separated from the Guge tribe by Zhu Kai, which has caused great damage to the Guge tribe.

Next, Zangbu Dagan would have to bear the joint attack from the Bulang and Mangyu tribes. If he had to compensate Zhu Kai again, there would be no need for him to be a chieftain.

However, Nangaba Zangbu had already said what he wanted to say. If Zangbu Dagan didn't say anything, then this matter would definitely not be resolved. Thinking of the weapon in Zhu Kai's hand that could knock people flying, Zangbu Dagan chose to give in: "Your Highness, please make it clear. As long as I can provide it, I will definitely meet your needs."

Zhu Kai did not say anything. Nangaba Zangbu looked at Zangbudagan who was kneeling on the ground and cursed in his heart: I used to think Zangbudagan was very smart, but how come he can't even guess what Zhu Kai wants now?

Without waiting for Zhu Kai to speak, Nang Gyalpa Zangbu said to Zhu Kai: "Your Highness, you were frightened today. Please go back to Zhigong Temple to rest. I believe the Guge Tusi will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Row."

Seeing that Nanjiaba Zangbu was so sensible, Zhu Kai naturally chose to trust his good brother: "If you have anything to say, just tell him... But I am impatient and don't want to wait too long, do you understand?"

"I understand, I completely understand."

Nanjiaba Zangbu smiled flatteringly, like a lackey: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will handle it properly."

After respectfully seeing Zhu Kai off, Nangaba Zangbu turned around and saw Zangbu Dagan’s eyes were red and there was anger in his eyes as he looked at him.

Nangaba Zangbu was not afraid at all. Instead, he said to Zangbudagan in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? The Second Prince has made it so clear. Why don't you understand what he means?"

"..."

Zangbudagan didn't expect that Nangaba Zangbu would directly blame him without him saying a word. Zangbudagan didn't understand this and thought, "Aren't you picking on me?"
How come in the end, it's all my fault?

"What does the Second Prince want? He doesn't care about gold or silver, or whether you are loyal to him or not. What matters is... people!"

Nangaba Zangbu looked at Zangbu Dagan and said, "Whether you surrender to the Ming Dynasty or not has no impact on the Second Prince, but as your friend, I still want to advise you to surrender to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so that you can get benefits ten or a hundred times higher than now!"

Zhu Kai had never made any big promises to Nangaba Zangbu. What he said to Zangbudagan now were all his own thoughts. These words might seem crazy, but Zhu Kai always gave Nangaba Zangbu endless courage.

"..."

Zangbu Dagan didn’t know what to say. The last person who made big promises for him had been thrown into prison, and now Nangaba Zangbu was the one making big promises for him... Was it so easy to make big promises for me?
"Don't be fooled by the immediate benefits. What's so good about U-Tsang? Even if you go to the grassland, it's better than staying in U-Tsang."

Nangaba Zangbu saw the dilemma of Zangbudagan and said, "Zangbudagan, the Second Prince forgave you today not because he is soft-hearted, but because he likes our people and doesn't want to cause too much killing. If you seize the opportunity, the future will be yours. If you don't seize the opportunity, then you will die guarding your Guge tribe."

These words are already very harsh. If Zangbu Dagan does not understand the meaning, he is not worthy of being a chieftain.

However, Zangbu Dagan was unwilling to give up the tribe that his ancestors had managed for generations to Zhu Kai.

What should I do?
"Master Shedi, let me think about it."

Zangbu Dagan hesitated, "This is a major matter concerning my Guge tribe. I need to be cautious."

"Be cautious? As the Imperial Master of U-Tsang, would I push U-Tsang into the abyss?"

Nangaba Zangbu sneered. Seeing Zangbudagan's dilemma, he simply issued an ultimatum: "Guge Tusi, the Second Prince is an impatient person. He probably won't give you too much time to consider. So you should make up your mind as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Seeing that Nangaba Zangbu was about to turn hostile, Zangbudagan guessed what was going on. After struggling for a while, he said to Nangaba Zangbu, "I... I will give 50,000 slaves to the second prince. How about that?"

"fifty thousand?"

Nangaba Zangbu laughed, "At least 200,000 slaves!"

Regarding Zangbudagan's unclear behavior, Nangaba Zangbu felt that this person was too indecisive and could not be trusted, so he cut a piece of meat from him and said, "Let me tell you, if I were the chieftain of the Guge tribe, I would hand over the entire Guge tribe to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. By then, let alone the Commandery, even in the Ming Dynasty, we might be granted titles of nobility and prime ministers!"

"..."

This picture of a pancake... Zangbudagan's brain is confused. He has heard too many pancakes today. It sounds like a headache.

Zangbu Dagan felt that Nangaba Zangbu was just talking nonsense and sending the entire Guge tribe away. This was not your Guge tribe, so you didn't feel bad about giving it away.

"One hundred thousand! I will give the Second Prince one hundred thousand slaves."

Zangbu Dagan gritted his teeth and said to Nangaba Zangbu: "Shedishi, you also know that U-Tsang is not dominated by my Guge tribe alone. Bulang and Mangyu have always been eyeing us covetously. I have to be on guard."

Nangaba Zangbu shook his head. He really didn't want to argue with Zangbo Dagan any more. "It's up to you. I've already said this to you. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

After saying that, Nangaba Zangbu stood up and left: "I will go to Bulang and Mangyu tribes. After they know the strength of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, they will probably be more willing to join His Highness." (End of this chapter)
