Zhu Bolin: Difference between revisions

The Arakan tribes were exhausted from the war and were offered fairly lenient terms, Zhu Bolin demanded the restoration of [[Tributary system of Imperial Daxia|tribute]] by the Arakan, the turning over of any firearms they still possessed and the surrender of hostages from every tribe; those Arakan taken prisoner in the course of the war would not be released, they would be sold as slaves instead. In a show of what he called 'Daxian magnanimity' Zhu Bolin even forwent taking the rebel chiefs to [[Rakahanga|Rakin]] and parading them before the populace so there would be 'no hard feelings'. Zhu Bolin was hailed as the ''Victor of the Crag'' and savior of the colonies on [[Peratra]]. Having covered himself in glory, Zhu Bolin returned to the imperial court in 1675, now an aging dwarf of sixty in poor health. He petitioned to be allowed to retire in his birthplace of [[Touxian]] with the hereditary rank of Baron of Touxian, a request that was quickly granted; better to give the ambitious dwarf a title in the poor interior than a position on the rich colonies.
