Chapter 393: Uighur Emissary
"By the way, I saw that the Khitan women and old people who transported the stones to us have left, when did they leave?" Qin Forget suddenly remembered that he didn't see the army of thousands of Khitan oxcarts when he went to the iron mine this time, and couldn't help but ask.
"As soon as Xiao Ding came over from the tea and horse market, he asked those people to leave, he said that the weather was cold, and they Khitan people had to do their best to deal with the white disaster, and they couldn't do without those people. It was too cold, and they and Lin stopped building the city, and returned our tens of thousands of craftsmen. I thought that we had suffered a great loss when we had exchanged these people with them, so I agreed without permission and asked the general to punish them. "Yin Xian pleaded guilty.
"Okay, it's not a big deal, and the exchange with them is also a last resort to be in the alliance with them, so it's okay to exchange it back. By the way, is there a place for them to build a city so that we can pass through? Qin Forget said nonchalantly.
Hearing Qin Forget say this, several people laughed. When he promised to build a city for the Khitans, Qin Forget instructed him to do something on the Khitan city wall in case of emergency, and the three of them did it to the letter.
"General rest assured, the three secret passages that can pass tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are very secret." Wang Ming said mysteriously.
"That's good, it's good that the three of you know about it, don't let anyone else know." Qin Forget solemnly admonished.
"Don't worry, general, if there is a leak, the general can take our heads." The three were equally solemn.
"By the way, general, it's also interesting to say, more than a thousand of those Khitan women actually secretly stayed in our Chicheng and didn't return to the Khitan." Wang Wen said suddenly obscenely.
"Not going back to Khitan?" Qin Forget was very surprised, "Why?" ”
"In the last war with Helin, the Khitan people died forty or fifty thousand, creating a lot of widows. Moreover, their Khitan people are not civilized, have no king and no father. The women are all brothers and brothers, fathers and sons, and most of the women left behind are widows and the like. Seeing that our life in Akagi is quite superior, I found our man from Akagi to stay. Wang Wen also said with a smile.
"Well, marriage, this is also the best way to assimilate the aliens. The three of you should take more care of such a family, maybe in ten or decades, there will be no Han and Khitan people in this vicinity. This was a signal, a signal to assimilate the Khitans, and Qin Forget slapped happily.
"The general can rest assured that it has been arranged. Each family was subsidized with a stone of grain, and they were very grateful for the kindness of the general. To say that those Khitan women are also pitiful people, in addition to giving birth to children like sows, they also have to work hard like cows and horses. Many women's children have died, and they have to go to work before they can even cry. And if their own men die, whether they want to or not, they have to take their families to live with other men, or they will starve to death. Yin Xian couldn't help but talk about the tragic life of Khitan women.
Qin Forget and a few people sighed.
"There are so many of these women
I came here with my children, hey, those Khitan cubs are much more vigorous than our Han children. Wang Ming slapped his face and said with a smile.
"And the kids?" Qin Forget raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, hundreds." Wang Ming nodded.
Qin Forget couldn't help but ponder, the Khitans have been instilled with the idea of respecting the strong since they were children, especially the idea that the Han people are the weakest people in the world, and they will only tremble under the swords of the Khitans. Although these hundreds of children are not to be feared, if they continue to grow up with this kind of thinking, it is also a factor of instability, and a solution must be found to solve this problem.
"Wang Ming, you go and arrange it yourself. All these children are placed in the school, and from now on, they will have to speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, and wear Hanfu, and they will not be allowed to touch anything related to the Khitans. It didn't take long for Qin Forget to come up with a way, which was to assimilate them culturally.
Wang Ming and the three of them also understood Qin Wang's purpose in doing this, and they all nodded in agreement.
While the four were talking, Jin Wu suddenly came to report that the Uighur envoy asked for an audience.
"Uighur emissaries?" Qin looked at the other three in surprise, and couldn't understand how the Uighurs could ask to see him.
Wang Ming and the three of them were also surprised.
"Yes, please." Qin Forget still felt that he would see the person before he came.
After a while, a group of three people walked into the room, and Qin Wang looked up, all three of them were wearing the ordinary clothes of Da Yan, but they did look like Uighurs. The first one had a beautiful octagonal mustache, and it was evident that he liked his beard, which was neatly groomed and covered with shiny butter. It has a typical Uighur face, but it is much darker than the average Uighur.
"Saramu Laikun," the three Uighurs said as they crossed their hands over their chests and nodded and bowed to Qin Wang.
The three of them quickly put their right hands on their left chests, then leaned their bodies forward slightly, and then said, "Salam Laikun", and saluted Wang Ming and the three of them respectively.
There were many Uighurs in Akagi, and the four Qin Forgets knew that the three Uighurs saluted him as the Uighurs did to their elders or distinguished guests, and to Wang Ming and the three as equals, showing their affection for Qin Wang.
"You may be seated." Qin Forget greeted the three of them, "Jin Wu, send the order to go down and prepare for the banquet, kill the two sheep now, remember, they are killed now." ”
Hearing Qin Wang's words, the eyes of the Uighurs at the head lit up, and the Uighurs forbade the meat of pigs, dogs, donkeys, mules, and beasts of prey, and avoided eating the flesh of animals that had died without being killed, and also forbade eating the blood of all animals. He didn't expect Qin Forget to know Qin Wang's customs, and he had a good impression of Qin Forget when they first met.
"Thank you, General, for taking the liberty of visiting and asking for forgiveness." The eight-character Hu Uighurs, led by the Han people, learned the etiquette of the Han people and hugged Qin Wangyi with a fist, and said politely in blunt Chinese.
"No
Do you know what Mr. Banoko means by coming this time? Qin Forget asked suspiciously.
Baye Gu smiled slightly, did not speak, and gestured to the two people behind him. The two men behind him stood up and unwrapped a huge package from behind him, placing it on the ground and slowly opening it.
After the package was opened, the whole room was suddenly filled with jewels, and people couldn't open their eyes. I saw that there were dozens of pieces of beautiful jade of various colors in the two packages on the ground, including jade, white jade, red jade, purple jade, and black jade, all of which were crystal clear and without any flaws.
The rich and aura of the beautiful jade attracts the beam of light with its own hue and swallows it softly and softly spits it out, which is a warm and euphemistic glow with various intentions: dripping green in green, wax in yellow, milk overflowing in white, Huaidan in red, precious in purple, and wrapped in dai in black...... At first glance, they are the best in the world.
It was the first time for Qin Forget and the four of them to see such a treasure, and they were a little stunned at that time.
"Jade has five virtues: moisturizing to warm for benevolence, outside can be known for righteousness, praise to far for wisdom, indomitable and broken for bravery, sharp and honest for virtue. The jade pendant gentleman is the best, but it is not a gentleman's doing. Qin Forget quickly came back to his senses, "Baye Gu, what do you mean by this." ”
"It's really admirable that the general is so knowledgeable." Baye Gu smiled and patted his ass, "It's not interesting, it's the first time I met General Qin, this is a meeting gift." There are still a few cars of treasures outside, although the condition is a little worse, but it will not be bad. The Uighurs are close to the Kunlun Mountains, and they are all local specialties that are not worth mentioning. ”
"What the hell are you going to do? Although Meiyu is good, but if you don't explain it, I don't dare to accept this. Qin Yu didn't have any look of joking with him, "You Uighurs are 108,000 miles away from me, and there is a Jin Kingdom in between, so I don't seem to have anything you need, right?" ”
"No, General, you have what I want, what I want very much." Bayegu also became serious, "In the past few years, we have fought with Khitan dogs, and we are becoming more and more opponents. We have lost Ganzhou, the Seven River Basin, the Zhenzhu River, the Bahe River and other places, and the Khitan soldiers are directly aimed at the Junggar Basin and the Chu River in the east of the Green Mountains, if we also lose the Chu River in the Junggar Basin and the East of the Green Mountains, then we will also lose the Silk Road, and for the Uighurs, whose agriculture is not developed, this is no less than cutting off our lifeline. So in the next battle, we must not lose again. ”
"Your war with the Khitans is actually falling apart?" Qin Forget did not expect that the Khitans would be so strong against the Uighurs, and that the Khitan North and South Courtyards would be like that, but he did not expect that they would still have such a big advantage over the Uighurs.
"Yes, it can be said that we have lost half of the Uighur Khanate, and we really need the help of the generals. Ask the general for help. Banoko nodded and asked again.
"I'm still the same sentence, what does it have to do with my Dayan? What does it have to do with me Akagi? Qin Forget leaned back in his chair, looking like he didn't care about himself.
