208 Coercion and inducement

The soldiers participating in the military exercise were a group of brave soldiers specially selected by Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan, because they came down from the battlefield and experienced killing and life and death, and the evil aura all over their bodies was very terrifying.

One person is like this, when countless people are gathered together, the evil aura is almost condensed into substance, and it seems that the smell of blood is strong.

As soon as they came on the field, not to mention those envoys who already had bad intentions, even those officials of Daliang were frightened.

It's not that these officials are incompetent, it's just that they never see blood when they kill people, but they have never experienced bloody battles on the battlefield. Let them frame people, all of them are masters, but if they want to kill people with knives, they may not even be as good as ordinary people.

Fortunately, the officials boasted that they had seen the world, and even if they were not lightly frightened, they still tried their best to behave extremely calmly, for fear of losing face in front of Gao Zixin and those generals, and they would not be able to raise their heads from now on.

The envoys from small countries and small places were frightened, and their faces were pale and cold sweat broke out, and they longed to find a place to hide.

Especially when the soldiers stared at them, they almost felt as if they were being targeted by the most ferocious beasts, and their bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

There's no way, who didn't have a good heart when they let them come, and they all wanted to ask for some benefits from Da Liang. Therefore, as soon as they saw those soldiers, they felt that the military exercise in front of them was no longer a drill, but a real killing battlefield!

The next moment, those soldiers will rush up and kill them without a single piece of armor left!

So almost all the envoys stiffened, their hands clutched the armrests of their chairs, and their hearts were beating incessantly.

In fact, they preferred to hold their usual weapons at this time, but unfortunately, after entering the palace, everyone's weapons were confiscated, and they didn't even have a knife left.

So at this moment, although they were already so scared in their hearts, and even wanted to hold on to their usual weapons to find a sense of security, they could only helplessly hold the armrest of the chair and chat for comfort.

The ministers and generals of Daliang saw the reactions of these people, and they couldn't help but turn on the mockery mode in their hearts. Although they themselves were all frightened, in front of these pale-faced envoys, whether they were ministers or generals, they all felt that their performance was still very remarkable.

At least, it's much better than those foreign buns!

However, when they looked at the ongoing military exercises, the generals had a strong sense of pride and ambition in their hearts.

Although they were indeed frightened at first, when they thought that these were soldiers of their own country, and those weapons were developed by their own country, the generals rarely maintained a high degree of unanimity on this matter.

They feel incredibly proud.

Now it's not like the beginning, the big beam is no longer the big beam of the past, and the military hundred officials in the court are no longer the previous military hundred officials.

After seeing Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan's abilities with his own eyes, no one dared to jump out casually to contradict Gao Zixin, scolding him for being reckless and hurtful.

Even if Gao Zixin secretly left the capital before, the imperial historians only impeached him at the place of duty, not so much accusing Gao Zixin as going through the motions.

And at this moment, looking at the military exercises in front of them, all the Daliang people were extremely proud in their hearts - they had a saint tomorrow!

It was not until the end of this small-scale military exercise that the frightened envoys gradually recovered from their horror.

Gao Zixin could see at a glance that they were frightened, so he decided to take this opportunity to say what he had to say directly.

It's just that the status of these envoys is too low, and it is not Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan's turn to negotiate with them, so the task of negotiation is handed over to Honglu Temple and the people of the General Administration of Commerce.

After Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan watched the military exercise, they returned to the palace and accompanied Bao'er.

Unfortunately, despite the absence of the two, the envoys could not breathe a sigh of relief.

People from Honglu Temple and the General Administration of Commerce directly talked to them about "cooperation". It is said that it is cooperation, but I just watched an unusually wonderful military exercise, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like coercion.

The envoys of various countries were particularly unhappy in their hearts, but the people of the General Administration of Commerce were all fox spirits, with their mouths like a river, and their tongues were like lotus flowers, and after a few words, they said that all the envoys' eyes lit up, as if they saw piles of gold ingots with cute little wings flying towards them.

As envoys, they have seen the prosperity of Daliang, and it would be absolutely a lie to say that they were not moved at all!

Thinking about the situation in the country, and then thinking about the magnificent scenery of Daliang seen along the way, the ministers couldn't wait to stay in Daliang and not go back.

Therefore, when the people of the General Administration of Commerce mentioned the benefits brought by the caravan, the envoys, although they were not yet happy in their hearts, could not help but be moved.

Even those Tartars who are very prejudiced against the girder are very excited to listen to it.

If you want to say bad, their situation is probably the worst of all the people present. It's just that they are nomads, and they are good at herding and riding and shooting, but if they are asked to do something else, they are not good at it.

Fortunately, although they left the northeast, there are still large grasslands further north, otherwise they would have to stay in the northeast even if they desperately died.

Even if the Northeast opens a mutual market, it is still a drop in the bucket for the entire north. There is a lack of everything in the steppe, and it is not something that one or two caravans can solve.

But if Daliang's caravan took the initiative to enter the grassland, he could not only bring them all kinds of supplies, but also buy fur beef and other things from them.

I have to say, this is a great ** for them.

The same is true for other countries, those who can come to Daliang as envoys will not be stupid and sweet, they can see the benefits, and they can also see the hidden risks inside!

Even if they don't see the risks so clearly, just a little sense of crisis is enough to make them vigilant.

It's a pity that no matter how vigilant they are, they still can't resist the sugar-coated cannonballs thrown by the State Administration of Commerce.

Their country not only needs the materials brought by the caravan of the Great Liang, but also needs the caravan of the Great Liang to buy their materials!

Therefore, after some bargaining, although the relevant agreement has not yet been signed, the envoys are already moved.

The envoys all decided to report the matter to the king or the khan when they returned, but unfortunately the Liang people were much more cunning than them!

Actually said which country is the most sincere, and Daliang is willing to make some concessions in the agreement.

However, they still don't say what sincerity is!

Where is there such a thing!

It's a pity that although the envoys kept scolding Liang people for being unkind in their hearts, they still didn't like each other after returning to the post house, and they looked at each other as if they were class enemies.

Not only that, but all the envoys also tacitly packed up their baggage in the shortest possible time, and then hurried back to China to report the matter.

Because of the bait thrown by the Liang people, no one wants to let others take the lead.

Especially those who are close to each other and produce similar goods, they will look at each other even more unpleasantly, for fear of being robbed of more benefits by the other party!

In the past, everyone was a difficult brother, and it was nothing to help each other, but now that there is a chance to climb up, it must be eager to step on each other, for fear of being the stepping stone of the other party!

After Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan got the secret report, they were amused again.

This is exactly what they are planning, not only to use the caravan to plant nails in the countries openly, it is best to let the countries be inseparable from them, and at the same time to drive a wedge between the countries, lest these white-eyed wolves who have no good intentions unite and have nothing to do!

However, although the envoys were captured, it is not known how the envoys would convince the king or the khan after they returned.

Only when the other party agrees to sign the agreement can the matter be considered a small half.

Fortunately, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan are not worried, there are always a few small countries around. As long as there is a tempting one, they don't have to worry.

When the agreement is signed, the caravans continue to come and go, which will inevitably drive the local economy. When the time comes, other countries that have not signed the agreement will naturally take the initiative to come to the door.

Sure enough, less than a month before the envoy left, a country sent a new envoy to negotiate with Daliang and sign the relevant agreement.

This country is none other than an island nation.

There is no way, since the compensation for the land cession, the people of the island country have clearly understood the ability of the Liang people to make money. Especially when those invaded areas developed more and more prosperous, the people of other island countries became more and more red-eyed.

There are not many islanders who want to snatch the territory back, and there are many of them, but unfortunately others are not fools. Isn't the warship of the Liang people furnished, going to grab territory and looking for death?

What's more, how did those places develop? Isn't it because of the constant coming and going of the Liang merchant ships? Without those merchant ships, what if they took back the territory?

After thinking about it, many clans in the island country would like the caravans of the Liang people to also go to their territory to do business, and it is best to build those prosperous commercial streets, and then let their territory become more and more prosperous.

Now that the opportunity is suddenly in front of them, they will be fools if they don't seize it!

As for what other countries think, they don't care! It's better that those countries have all the water in their heads, and only cheap them.

It's a pity that they are smart, others are not stupid, and the expectations of the islanders simply cannot become a reality.

As soon as the envoys of the island country arrived, the envoys of Goryeo came on the back foot.

The place where they settled was still the same inn, so there is no doubt that both sides looked at each other very unpleasantly, if it weren't for the lessons of the past, it was estimated that they could fight.
