1340. Trade Market
He finally made a choice, he accepted Qi Jie's choice, because he had no other way to go, and he didn't know if he rejected Qi Jie's choice, would it make Qi Jie angry and make him unable to leave here alive.
So in order to survive, he accepted Qi Jie's proposal, 10,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, and the 10,000 war horses, and the land occupied by Qi Jiao, which was legally owned by Qi State.
For the Xiongnu, this agreement can be said to be a very humiliating agreement, and it can even become a national shame for the Xiongnu Empire.
Since the establishment of the Xiongnu Empire, it has always been to coerce others to sign some agreements that humiliate the country, but when it came to the period of his Fengde, they signed this kind of agreement by themselves.
For this matter, he can only blame himself deeply, he has no other good way, this is something that no one has thought of, and he will not think of this kind of thing.
The period of Fengde is said to be the heyday of the Xiongnu Empire, according to the normal development trend, it must be to expand the territory and go to the next level, and Fengde also thinks so, he thinks, he wants to make the Xiongnu Empire an absolutely unified empire, and then destroy Donghu, unify the grassland in the real sense, and then go south to Kyushu to reproduce the past scenery of the grassland.
But in this first war with the outside world, he was disadvantaged, besieged by Alamo, and at the same time had to sign such an insulting treaty, and after signing this treaty, the Xiongnu Empire could not launch an attack on Kyushu for five to ten years.
This allowed the state of Qi to gain stability in the north for five to ten years, and it was also not that Fengde got nothing, he got a time that could be fought with the large tribal regimes within the Xiongnu Empire.
If this agreement is not signed, Qi and Donghu may attack him externally at any time, which is not conducive to his plan to fight Fengde, and only when the outside is stable, he can safely carry out the internal struggle.
In Feng Fengde's idea, if the internal struggle is successful, he can integrate the internal forces and launch an external attack in the true sense.
His idea of the great Xiongnu Empire appeared in his mind, and he never wanted to establish the great empire that conquered Kyushu and unified the grasslands.
Fonde agreed to Qi Jie's agreement, and Qi Zhang stood in front of him again, the agreement placed in front of the table.
Qi Jie looked at Feng De: "Da Dan Yu is really sensible, I know the value of peace!" ”
"After the end of this war, my Qi country is willing to open wider trade with the Xiongnu, and at the same time, twenty kilometers away from Alamo, my Qi country is willing to fund the establishment of a huge trade market" Qi Jie said lightly, Qi Jie has his own ideas, and the Xiongnu Empire to open wider trade, which means that you can obtain the Xiongnu's war horses.
Similarly, the Xiongnu people can obtain some of the living materials produced by the Qi State, which is a mutually beneficial thing for both sides, but it actually has a deeper meaning.
That is, the Qi State can obtain grassland war horses, form a powerful cavalry, and let a heavy cavalry be equipped with more than two horses.
And after the grassland people obtained the materials of the Qi country, they could live a better life, and were they willing to risk their lives to fight the autumn wind and rob? Are you still willing to go to war?
I'm afraid not.
Although there is some trade between Qi and the steppe, the trade is not done with all the steppe tribes, and the main traders are the Timurid tribes.
It is also because of the trade with the Qi State that the Timurid tribe has become stronger, because they have obtained the materials of the Qi State, and at the same time they have obtained a large amount of money from the Qi State, and they can strengthen themselves.
Although there are also some small tribes and large tribes that trade with the Qi State, this trade is not very large.
This time, Qi Jiao completely opened up trade and established a large trade market, and it was a trade market established with the support of both sides, which means that doing business will be a very safe thing.
After all, there are armies on both sides outside the trade market, and if you dare to do something black, I'm afraid the military forces of both sides will not agree.
The market has come out, and the two sides can exchange trade here, which can be said to be a very successful performance, Qi can obtain things on the grassland, and the grassland can obtain things on Qi.
For the Qi country, getting the war horses and war knives on the grassland can strengthen the military strength of the Qi country, and the grassland people get the food and some living materials of the Qi country, which will weaken their warlike strength.
Of course, the weapons of the Qi State will definitely not be given to the grassland people, and the control of weapons in the Qi State can be said to be very strict.
Although every household has weapons, the large military weapons of the Qi State, this kind of thing, are only stored in the central camps of each capital, and whoever dares to buy and sell this kind of thing is the crime of killing the nine clans.
For the Qi State, their weapons are powerful in this secret black technology, firearms, bed crossbows, ballistas, quivers, and a series of weapons improved from the Koreans.
As for the traditional weapons such as knives, swords, and bows, the manufacturing of Qi is actually not as good as that of the grassland people.
Because Qi has a large number of troops, the survival of this weapon is in batches, and if the quantity is too large, there will inevitably be some problems with the quality.
Therefore, the quality of this weapon of Qi is not very high, but it is generally no problem to use it, and there is no problem to go to the battlefield, but there is a gap compared to those scimitars of the steppe people.
Because the steppe people, every family, everyone has such a scimitar, which is used to kill cattle and sheep, and at the same time they are a fighting people, and when they fight, they throw down their tents and go to the battlefield.
So each of them has a good weapon, and in the family of each of their tribes, there are several strong craftsmen, and they will create their own war knife for each child born in the tribe, and this war knife will follow them all their lives, so the quality is leveraged.
Although everyone has a war knife that will accompany them for a lifetime, but in fact, it is normal to lose one or two knives on the battlefield, basically when they reach adulthood, they each have more than ten war knives, and they will also go to the tribal blacksmith to learn some blacksmith knowledge and build their own war knives.
For the grassland people, every man has to learn a lot of skills in addition to strong martial arts, a man with many skills and strong martial arts is a perfect man on the grassland.
For the big tribes, they must have more than a hundred skilled blacksmiths, and there are also many slaves who are proficient in the craft of blacksmithing.
In this way, weapons can be produced for a long time, and in addition, some tribal men will build weapons themselves, if the Qi State acquires these weapons, these are full of high-quality weapons, and they will inevitably flow to the Qi State.
