Chapter 11: Tears of laughter

The elegant Song people who pioneered this kind of thing did not bother to do it, they had long been accustomed to following others to make a fortune. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lack of force is not only a loss of combat strength, but also a loss of enterprising courage and pioneering spirit.

Su Wu was shepherding sheep by the North Sea alone, insisting on refusing to surrender, because he had never looked down on those Huns in his heart.

It's like a person who is surrounded by a pack of wolves, although he will worry about his life, but more of a **** mentality is making trouble.

Ban Chao led fifty people to dare to crisscross the Western Regions, and the biggest reason was that there was a Han Dynasty that never gave in behind him.

Similarly, during the Tang Dynasty, a Tang soldier dared to order the Turkic Khan to dismount and enter the city, and it was still the powerful Tang Empire behind him who provided him with such courage.

Although the pawn was killed by the Khan, who was thought to have suffered humiliation, there was also a Tang man who suffered from a stockade.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying revenge of the Tang Dynasty came, when the Tang Emperor Li Zhi knew the news and was about to be furious, there was a messenger from the border commander who used a gold plate to carry the head of the khan to ask the emperor for ......guilt, and the little tribe was spared from the khan to the baby.

This kind of thing generally doesn't happen in the Great Song Dynasty!

The Khitans who fought in the grass valley plundered the border people of the Great Song Dynasty in the north, and the captured military horses of the Western Xia carried women in front of them, and the horses left the border of the Great Song Dynasty with silver coins on their backs, but the annual coins of the Great Song Dynasty were never missing.

It was naturally very unrealistic for the shrewd merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to open up trade routes when the military force of the dynasty was weak.

As a result, they learned to do business on the good trade routes opened up by other countries and people.

When it comes to doing business, there is no one in this world who is the opponent of the Song people.

Even if they paid heavy taxes on this trade route pioneered by others, in the end they still made far more profits than the brave alien pioneer.

Hami is a pearl on the Hanhai Sea next door, and everyone knows that as long as you enter Hami, the broadest market in the West will be opened.

How can the generals who use the gate as a system be satisfied with charging a little protection fee.

Tie Xinyuan knew very well that following the three thousand generals into Hami would definitely not be just a caravan that provided protection for these people a little bit, it would probably be a huge caravan with almost no bottom line.

Su Mei was very embarrassed, her face was red, and she also felt that she seemed to be very inauthentic, and it was unkind to use Tie Xinyuan like this.

"Then come, but tell them that Hami is also a place with laws, and as long as they obey the laws of Hami, I welcome them to Hami.

On the other hand, if you can't obey Hami's laws, you don't have to complain if you die. ”

Su Mei sighed secretly, Yang Huaiyu knew that this matter made it difficult for Tie Xinyuan to do, so he sent a letter from Yongqiu City Kuaima, asking Su Mei to tell him that no matter whether it succeeds or not, there will always be a buffer room for Su Mei to go out.

Su Mei nodded and said, "The vanguard led by my husband has arrived in Yongqiu City, which is only more than two hundred miles away from Tokyo, and it can be reached in one day.

You should talk to him about the details! ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Now that the strategy has been decided, Hami's envoy Wei Chi Zhuozhuo is in Tokyo, and they will negotiate the rest of the issues."

I should not expose people. ”

Tie Xinyuan left the Yang family, his back looked very gloomy, his shoulders were shaking all the time, as if he was crying.

Su Mei's eyes were also red, and she crumpled the handkerchief into a rag......

After getting into the carriage, Meng Yuanzhi comforted Tie Xinyuan and said: "The vicissitudes of the world, the white clouds and dogs, it is common for people's hearts to be unancient, why should you be sad?" ”

When Tie Xinyuan raised his head, Meng Yuanzhi realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, because although Tie Xinyuan's face was full of tears, these tears were laughing alive.

"Find a suitable place to park and let me laugh well, or I'll get sick."

Meng Yuan, who was confused, asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the Jinshui River, and after Tie Xinyuan jumped out of the carriage, a burst of rapid laughter rippled on the river.

Meng Yuanzhi looked at Tie Xinyuan worriedly, and seeing that he was almost out of breath laughing, he hurriedly supported him, put him on a boulder, and continued to watch him convulse and laugh.

When Tie Xinyuan's laughter finally subsided, Meng Yuan looked directly at Tie Xinyuan and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone who is sweating profusely."

When you've laughed enough, tell me why you're laughing? People have used you all the way to the bone, how can you still laugh? ”

Tie Xinyuan lay on the boulder with his back facing the sky, looked at the deep night sky and said, "Old Meng, do you know how far away the stars are from us?" ”

Meng Yuan looked directly at the starry sky and said: "Then outside the thirty-third layer of the sky, the distance is incalculable, I think there will be hundreds of miles, right?" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "The closest star to us is actually the moon, and from us to the moon, there are 770,000 miles. ”

Meng Yuanzhi looked up at the moon again and said suspiciously: "Is it really that far?" You're not talking about it, are you? ”

Tie Xinyuan stood up and poured a soak of urine happily into the Jinshui River, and after a shiver, his whole body was full of Tai.

"Lao Meng, you must remember the number I said, it's not wrong at all, someone has calculated it."

"Who?"

Tie Xinyuan smiled and said nothing, it was a very stupid thing to discuss astronomy with the ancients, they believed that there were gods and Buddhas living above their heads, and that there was a more beautiful world above the blue sky.

"Distance is time for us!"

Meng Yuanzhi didn't understand what Tie Xinyuan was talking about.

"Let's put it this way, how long will it take for what happened in our Hami to reach Tokyo at the earliest?"

"Immediately express the delivery in twelve hours, and you can walk four hundred miles at the earliest!"

"Isn't it eight hundred miles expedited?"

"Nonsense, a post station in twenty miles This is a number that the government said to outsiders, in fact, it is good to have a post station in a hundred miles, if it is our Hami, the messenger everything is going well, in the absence of a post station, Lao Tzu can run two hundred miles a day, he is very good."

"How far is it from Hami to Kaifeng?"

"I've calculated this, if you go to the Khitan and pass through the Western Xia, the journey is short, about six thousand miles.

If you don't take the Khitan, but in Western Xia, a detour from Qingtang, 10,000 miles is considered less. ”

"In other words, if something happened to Hami, it will be at least two months before Tokyo wants to know, right?"

"It's more reasonable for you to count it as three months."

"This time and again, half a year has passed, right? By the time they respond, a year should have passed, right? ”

Meng Yuanzhi seemed to understand a little, and laughed: "Maybe it didn't react!" How? Are you going to go back to your old business? Leave the things sent by these people with the people in Hami? ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "That's too low." ”

"I think it's good, anyway, the Song people are bullied everywhere, it's better to leave it to us to bully, at least we don't want to die as long as we have money!"

Tie Xinyuan laughed and said, "You also think we can pit these people? ”

Meng Yuan said straightforwardly: "You don't need to be so polite, right?" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no need to pit, everything they brought is ours."

Those people in the Great Song Dynasty got one thing wrong, they thought that as long as they were individuals, they could gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

They thought that with such a large-scale past, even if they couldn't control us, they would be able to create at least one country in the Western Regions...... So, they don't worry about the old saying that the goods will die on the ground, they think that I can fight a piece of the world in the Western Regions alone, and their strength is even stronger, so they should be able to! ”

"It should be possible?" Meng Yuanzhi couldn't help but raise his voice, how Tie Xinyuan got up in the Western Regions, no one knew better than him.

Recalling those things, Meng Yuanzhi even thought that Tie Xinyuan was God's own son, and he had taken advantage of all the opportunities.

Not to mention the black storm that destroyed Hami, not to mention the riot that directly helped Tie Xinyuan in Musin, not to mention the people like Asalan who wholeheartedly helped Tie Xinyuan gain a foothold in Hami completely.

Tie Xinyuan was able to gain a firm foothold in Hami, relying not on force at all, but on the combination of time and strategy and luck.

It can even be said that the establishment of the Hami Kingdom is just a matter of Tie Xinyuan doing just the right thing at the right time and in the right place.

It was impossible to do this all over again, and even Tie Xinyuan himself could not accomplish this grand goal.

"The people of the Great Song Dynasty always understand how cruel this world is after they have suffered losses.

We must help those people wholeheartedly, without any slackness, only in this way, they will naturally become our help in the future.

Lao Meng, with them, we can really have the capital to crisscross the Western Regions! ”

Meng Yuanzhi also had a smile on his face, and very politely invited Tie Xinyuan to get into the carriage with one hand, he felt that it would be good if Hami had more of the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, and the king of Hami would really be able to integrate into the Great Song royal family in the future.

When the carriage passed by Chongqing Gate, Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi smelled the scorching smell together.

Meng Yuanzhi, who was very familiar with this smell, said with a smile: "The emperor is burning people in the palace."

It seems that the emperor's humiliation broke out. ”

Tie Xinyuan opened the curtain and glanced at the smoke in the moonlight, and sighed secretly, Concubine Liu is indeed a rare stunner, and it is a pity to turn into black smoke.

It's all gambling, she lost the gamble, there shouldn't be anything unwilling to pay for her life, right?

"The emperor still has no son!"

Meng Yuan laughed at Tie Xinyuan like a white-toothed wolf.

"I'll try to have a son!"

"It's better to have a few more, there will always be one or two little ones as smart as you, and the land he will rule in the future will be very large!"

After Meng Yuan finished speaking, he laughed out loud, and sniffed the unpleasant smell in the air vigorously, as if he was smelling the fragrance of flowers...... (To be continued.) )
