Section 677 Adjustment and Correction (2)
While Zhang Yue was observing the Wusun Mission, Nimi was also observing this man, who was said to be 'the best among the ministers of the Han Dynasty'.
After just a few glances, Nimi was full of disappointment!
The fancy Han Dynasty minister in front of him looked neither tall nor strong.
On the contrary, he looks weak, and his skin is whiter than a woman's!
When he spoke, he also spoke softly, without any momentum.
This made Nimi's brows furrow slightly.
Han dynasty!
The undisputed superpower of today's world!
He has already seen the strength of his country!
Such a powerful empire, the best young ministers selected will be like this?
Nimi frowned slightly, and in her heart, she even felt humiliated.
The warriors of the Han Dynasty, he had heard a lot.
For example, Zhao Chongguo, who had led the remnants to kill from the siege of the Huns.
This is a figure that even if it is a Hun person, he is afraid and admired!
What's more, in the entire known world, the late general of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quai, is now equal to the existence of gods!
The Han Dynasty who shone the whole world, even in Wusun, had quite a lot of admirers.
Even in the Xiongnu country, there were large numbers of believers - you read that right, believers! In the eyes of these Huns, the Han Dynasty hussar general champion Hou is a god descending to earth, a god who punishes them!
The fear of Huo Qu's disease penetrated deep into the bone marrow of every Xiongnu nobleman.
Even now, in the Xiongnu country, there are a considerable number of nobles, in their big tent ** enshrined the Han Dynasty general's god card, every day to pray, pray, pray, its pious attitude, even more serious than the sacrifice of the Huns themselves gods.
No way, in the worldview of the Huns who believe in shamanism, everything has spirituality.
Whether it is trees, mountains, birds, or animals, as long as they show miracles, they may be worshiped and sacrificed.
As for the strong?
The concept of the Huns is that as long as they are strong enough, they are gods!
Just like Nimi's great-grandfather, the founding king of Wusun is still worshiped by many Xiongnu nobles.
And super strong people like Huo Quzhi, although when they were alive, they were miserable.
But that's what it deserves to be worshiped and worshipped!
Therefore, Nimi's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he greeted the Han Dynasty envoy in front of him surrounded by his ministers, and asked unceremoniously: "Your Excellency is the strongest young minister in your country today?" ”
"Is there no one in Han?"
The provocation and dissatisfaction in the words immediately erupted.
Zhang Yue looked at the young nobleman who was surrounded by the Wusun people, and knew in his heart that this should be the Wusun Xiao Kunmo.
Although the other party used Xiongnu language, Zhang Yue didn't understand it, but judging from the other party's tone, it was definitely not a good word.
Zhang Yue glanced slightly at an official sent by the subject country next to him to serve as an interpreter, and this official was distracted by Zhang Yue's gaze, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Zhang Shizhong, the words of the Wusun envoy are a little ...... Somewhat rude...... The lower officials dare not translate literally! ”
"Direct translation!" Zhang Yue said coldly: "Tell the truth!" ”
When the other party heard this, he was clever and nodded quickly.
Then he carefully translated the muddy words to Zhang Yue in a low voice.
After Zhang Yue heard this, he smiled, this little Kunmo's arrogance and wantonness, Zhang Yue had already prepared.
If he is not arrogant and arrogant, is he still the short-lived king who is called the 'mad king' by the Wusun people themselves?
Zhang Yue put down the Son of Heaven Festival in his hand slightly, then looked at the suspected Wusun Xiao Kunmo, and said softly: "This official is ordered to be the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, as the envoy of Qin, and is ordered to welcome your envoy...... Although he didn't dare to call himself the 'strongest in the world'......" When he said this, Zhang Yue raised his voice slightly: "But I don't dare to humiliate myself......"
"When the envoy saw the official, he thought that there was no one in Han?"
"Hehe......"
Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "Actually, in the opinion of this official, in today's world, it is Han Daochang, and there is no one to ...... Hu"
He laughed reservedly: "Within the Liuhe, among the four seas, if you want it to be Tai Sui, through the sun and the moon, if you are not a concubine, then you are a powder, that's it!" ”
It's really true!
And it's the big truth!
On the current planet, in terms of population, civilization, system, economy, and technology, who can compare with the Han dynasty except for the Roman Republic in continental Europe?
And now, the Han family is rising in the sky, illuminating the Quartet.
It is a pity that in the river of civilization of history, the Roman Republic, which ran across the bank of the Han dynasty for a hundred years, is now dying.
More than 20 years ago, at the height of the Han Dynasty's military power, all the efforts of the Gracchus brothers of Rome to save the republic and the system of the republic failed, and the system and political system of the entire republic were collapsing at a rapid pace.
The Roman Empire, already in conception.
The Spartacus uprising is not far off.
Not to mention, in fact, both the current Roman Republic and the future Roman Empire were in essence slave states.
The current Han dynasty has developed into an advanced feudal society.
A centralized state, composed of small and medium-sized landlords, yeoman farmers, and the military aristocracy and the scholarly class.
Although the problem of slavery still exists.
However, there is already a law to follow for the protection of the personal safety of slaves and maids.
And public opinion also generally condemned slavery.
And in the known world, the Zhuxia civilization does not even have such a companion as the Roman civilization in continental Europe!
With the strong national strength, the Han culture was like the sun, spreading and spreading to the whole world, and gradually established the original Confucian civilization circle.
Therefore, the current Han family is indeed qualified to say one thing: with all due respect, everyone here is spicy chicken!
……………………………………
Nimi naturally has a translation that it brings.
The translator was a Wusun businessman, and because he traveled between Wusun and Juyan all the year round, he learned to be fluent in the Han official dialect.
At this moment, even this businessman, who has never had any patriotic thoughts, was stimulated by Zhang Yue's words.
He almost gritted his teeth and translated Zhang Yue's words word by word to Nimi.
Nimi and the entire mission were filled with anger and humiliation.
Hu no one?
Han Daochang?!
This is a naked slap in the face, and it is extremely arrogant and conceited!
Not to mention, in the future, everyone, including Wusun, will be directly demoted to 'slaves'.
To be honest, don't say it's Wusun.
Even the officials who came with Zhang Yue were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Everyone is afraid of any diplomatic dispute.
When the Son of Heaven is angry and the board is knocked down, how is it good?
"The servant of the public ......" Dahonglu Dairen sent a Si Cao Ling, desperately pulled Zhang Yue's sleeve, like a wronged little daughter-in-law, Chu Chu looked at Zhang Yue pitifully, and begged: "Please be cautious, be cautious!" ”
Zhang Yue listened, but he was unmoved, but looked at the little Kunmo with a smile.
Of course, he knows that Wusun is not a small country like Loulan and Cheshi.
There can be no wanton humiliation.
But he knows better that sometimes, only toughness can earn respect!
Especially the little Wusun Kunmo in front of him!
He definitely belongs to the kind of existence that is insatiable and greedy.
What's more, the Han wanted to completely control and control Wusun, so that the Wusun people would become loyal thugs like the Cossacks and Smecta that Zhang Yue imagined.
First of all, it is necessary to crush all their self-esteem and pride.
Let them realize in despair how big the gap and chasm is between them and the advanced Zhuxia civilization?
Just like the reason why the river of later generations will appear, is because some people who open their eyes to the world fall into boundless despair when facing the gap between internal and external disparities, thinking that they will not be able to catch up with the West for eternity and eternity.
So he fell into endless inferiority and self-contempt.
In order to alleviate his inferiority, he desperately denied himself.
Others, after seeing the gap, gritted their teeth, carried the weight of the world, and forged ahead.
Thus, a new world was shaped.
But the reason why these people were able to appear, and they were able to grit their teeth and carry the world, was because the heritage of the Zhuxia nation was there.
The national character dictates it!
A nation like Wusun with almost no history and is purely a patchwork of people, Zhang Yue doesn't think they have this background.
Moreover, the population base of Wusun is too small.
From a statistical point of view, even if it can appear, it will definitely be rare!
And Zhang Yue didn't need to turn all the Wusun people into an audience for the river stream.
He only needed to discount the upper layer of Wusun, especially the spine and knees of this little Kunmo in front of him!
Then, you can turn Wusun into an extremely pro-Han thug without bloodshed.
A loyal vassal state of the Han Empire, an ally in the front line.
Just like Midi is to Smecta and Neon, Maozi is to the Cossacks and Dagestan militia.
That explosive loyalty is a strong supporter that everyone who aspires to build a global empire needs!
Therefore, Zhang Yue turned his head, looked at the Si Cao Ling, and reassured: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, don't you hear: Yidi, fear of power but not virtue?" ”
The other party was immediately blocked and couldn't say a word.
There is no way, inside the current Han family, the arrogance of the scholars and doctors is at its peak.
The tsundere scholars, often with their own willfulness, ruined many of Dahonglu's diplomatic efforts.
Zhang Yue looked at him and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, rest assured, I will bear the consequences of this matter, and I will not implicate Your Excellency and Da Honglu!" ”
The other party listened, sighed helplessly, and gave up persuasion.
There is no way, although the assurances of this lieutenant may not be effective.
But......
Something is better than nothing.
Besides, if you continue to entangle, you will undoubtedly offend this Zhang Chiyou!
If you offend him, I am afraid that it will be even more miserable than being held accountable by the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is accountable, and at most he bears the blame.
If you provoke Zhang Chiyou, you may die the whole family!
………………………………
Zhang Yue's side has just finished appeasing Da Honglu Yousi.
The mud on the other side was already laughing coldly.
"Your envoy wants to take Wusun as a slave?" Ni Mi said hesitantly: "Your country must have this ability!" ”
The translator next to him immediately translated Nimi's words to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue listened and laughed.
The ancients said: Yidi, fearing power but not virtue, this sentence does have some truth.
Of course, generalizing is too extreme.
In fact, in Zhang Yue's view, the differences between China and foreign countries mainly lie in cultural differences.
Even if it is the current Han family, when the ram ideology is flourishing, the spirit of the whole country is domineering and arrogant.
But after all, the ram thought is also a branch of Confucianism.
It's just a Confucian variant that has absorbed some of the Legalist hegemony thoughts.
In essence, it is still restrained and reserved.
Therefore, there are often many cultural collisions and self-righteous ambiguities when communicating with foreign countries.
Let's take an analogy.
The Zhuxia people say that 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers', just like Zhang Yue said, 'all of them are not the concubines of the Han ministers'.
In the eyes of the Zhuxia people, this is a declaration of their sovereignty and right to rule over the world.
But in the eyes of other peoples, this is not necessarily the case.
Especially nomads like Wusun and Xiongnu!
Nomads, the strong are respected, and the winner takes all!
If you dominate the cool and beat the world, then you have the right to exercise any rights you want.
As long as you are strong enough, the Xiongnu Twin Clan can also kneel down and sing conquest.
As long as you are fierce enough, you can take everyone to fight the world together, grab money, grab food, and grab girls.
Then, whether it is the Huns or the Wusun people, they don't mind becoming Han Chinese.
This is due to the cultural differences between nomadic and agrarian peoples.
It is the difference between the two worldviews and values.
Therefore, there is the saying 'Yi Di is afraid of power but not virtuous'.
In fact, nomads are also human beings, and they also know what is good and ugly, and they can also distinguish right from wrong.
They are treacherous, shameless, and capricious, just as they are generous, hospitable, and keep their promises.
The idea of the agrarian people cannot be applied to the idea of the nomads.
That's chickens and ducks.
Just like in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, the British wanted to open an embassy in Beijing, but Xianfeng and the Manchu ministers would rather die than obey, and would rather cede land and pay reparations than do it.
Why?
The idea of the British using the idea of an industrial country and the idea of a corrupt feudal dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not work at all!
Therefore, in the eyes of the officials of Dahonglu, Zhang Yue's words were a naked humiliation and ridicule of the Wusun envoy.
However, in the eyes of the Wusun themselves, this is indeed humiliating and mocking.
But it's not racist!
Rather, it is a manifesto of open challenge.
To the nomadic Wusun and Huns: you want me to be a slave?
All right?
Beat me, conquer me, I am your slave!
No, don't bb!
And Zhang Yue understood this a long time ago.
After the crossing, this fact is extremely clear!
Although the Zhuxia civilization is advanced, at least for now, it is far from reaching the point of radiating the whole world and influencing the whole world.
