Chapter 407: The Alliance of the Heavens and Waters
Inside the tent, there was an instant silence.
Those who know naturally know that Sima An and Zhu Hai are incompatible with each other, and they have long been strange; People who didn't know, such as the tribal patriarchs of the two places of Luo and Gong, didn't dare to intervene because they didn't know what was going on.
This made the atmosphere in the tent very awkward all of a sudden.
"Humph!"
I don't know how long it took, Sima An snorted heavily, and glanced at Zhu Hai coldly, as if to say, "In front of General Ben, you continue to say, and then say bad things about General Ben!"
And Zhu Hai had already seen Sima An at this time, and changed his anxiety, and deliberately looked Sima An up and down a few times slowly, without looking at it with his eyes, only glancing at it from the corner of his eye. It was as if it was saying, 'Yo, you're here.' I'm sorry, but I'm sorry I didn't see you because you're so inconspicuous."
Full of mockery.
Seeing this, Sima An glared.
Then, Zhu Hai also glared back angrily.
The two dignified generals of Wei staged a stunt of killing people with their eyes in this felt tent, although they did not "kill" each other, but they made everyone present tremble, for fear that these two would not be able to control it and draw their swords against each other.
It's no wonder, after all, these two stared at each other angrily, staring at each other with bloodshot eyes, and that look, no matter how you look at it, it feels oozing.
"Sure enough, the ways are different, and they don't conspire with each other...... Obviously, they used to be the Zongwei of their father's side, and they have been with each other for more than ten years, and they are like brothers and sisters to each other, but now, what a strong smell of gunpowder is this......
Zhao Hongrun sniffled, as if he could really smell the suffocating smell of gunpowder in the air.
"Ahem!"
He coughed, broke the deadlock and solemn atmosphere, and invited Zhu Hai to say, "General Zhu, please take a seat." ”
Hearing this, Sima An changed his sitting posture, holding his forehead with his right hand, and looked at the seat under him intentionally or unintentionally, with a little playful and sadistic color on his face.
Seeing this, Zhu Hai's face suddenly sank, and when he saw that the seat opposite Sima An was empty, he walked straight over, and he didn't care that the columns were all sitting on the patriarchs of the Sanchuan tribe in the land, so he sat down on the empty seat and continued to stare at Sima An.
Seeing this scene, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halegohe, and the patriarch of the Meng tribe behind him, Meng Liang, glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.
Because, because the Aries tribe had supported the Wei State during the hunting and categorically refused to be the enemy of the Wei army the day before, Zhao Hongrun was quite friendly to Halegoh and had a faint intention to elevate the Aries tribe, so the tribal chiefs of the land were very familiar with each other and left the first seat on the right side of the tent to Halegohe.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was robbed by General Zhu Hai of the Chenggao Army.
"Go and sit with me." Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe, whispered to Halegohe.
Thinking about it, anyone who sees Sima An and Zhu Hai glaring at each other angrily can guess that these two great generals of the Wei State must be at odds with each other, and if they join in casually, they will be burned.
After Halgoh and Meng Liang, the tribal chiefs of Gongcheng, who had just surrendered, also sat down under or behind the patriarchs of the tribes.
Immediately, these tribal patriarchs from Gong and Yu all looked at Zhao Hongrun intently.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun instructed the left and right Zongwei to pour wine for these patriarchs, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarchs of Gongdi, you can listen to the persuasion of the Patriarch of Halegoh and the Patriarch of Meng Liang to surrender to our army, so that your wrong decision a few days ago will not continue, this king is deeply grateful. …… In view of the fact that you were bewitched by the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabittu, this king has thought about it again and decided to accept you as a member of the "Alliance of the Waters". But if you make a move to betray your allies and betray my Great Wei after joining this alliance, don't blame this king for being unkind! ”
The tribal patriarchs of Gongdi had already learned about this from the mouths of the two patriarchs, Halegoh and Meng Liang, so when they heard the words at this moment, they only promised to say that they did not dare to say it directly, and promised again and again that from today onwards, they would advance and retreat together with the allies and neighbors of the 'Luoshui Alliance', and advance and retreat with the Wei State.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Fang Cai, this king has drafted an 'oath', and the patriarchs have taken a look at it first, if there are any shortcomings, you might as well put it forward and discuss it together." ”
After that, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Zongwei Lu Mu and Gao Kuo, because the two were responsible for copying a few more copies of the "oath" drafted by Zhao Hongrun and sending them to the patriarchs present.
Originally, it was one for each person, but because of the arrival of the tribal chiefs of Gongdi, only two patriarchs could see one copy together for the time being.
Because it is related to the distribution of the benefits of their tribe in the future, the patriarchs in the account look very carefully.
I saw that on the "oath", first of all, the first article indicated the meaning of the "alliance of the water", and its full name was the "(Wei Chuan) the alliance agreement", in which the Wei state was the leader of the alliance, and the rest of the Sanchuan tribes were all allies. "Note: It needs to be the leader of the alliance."
The second item: All the allies in the "Alliance of the Three Rivers" can recommend or invite a tribe in the land of the Three Rivers to join, but with the consent of the alliance leader (Wei State), and the recommender must be responsible for the actions of the recommended party. If the recommended party betrays the alliance and betrays the Wei state, the recommending party must bear the obligation to correct the mistake, that is, send troops to kill it.
If the recommender is not strong enough, he can ask the rest of the tribes in the alliance for help, or ask Wei for help. Moreover, the Wei state had the obligation to send troops to exterminate the betrayers. "Note: The main thing is that "the teacher is famous".
Item 3: The allies of the covenant, including the leader of the covenant, shall not infringe upon each other. If there is a dispute between the allies, they can seek the mediation of the alliance leader (Wei State) to resolve the conflict, and it is not allowed to use force in private. "Note: It is intended to deepen the status of Wei in the hearts of the people of Sanchuan."
Fourth: If any of the allies in the "Covenant" is violated by non-Allied forces, the leader of the alliance (Wei State) and all the allies have the responsibility to provide immediate assistance, not to fall into the well, not to take advantage of the fire to loot, and to give the violator different degrees of armed attack depending on the extent of the damage of the violated alliance. "Note: That is, "attacking and defending together", so that the land of Sanchuan has become a solid barrier for Wei in the west in disguise."
Item 5: The leader of the alliance (Wei state) recognizes the permanent residence of the alliance in Sanchuan, and promises not to force the alliance to move out of Sanchuan under any pretext, unless the alliance betrays the alliance and is expelled. "Note: In other words, in order for Wei to be recognized, one must join this alliance. Otherwise, Wei reserves the right to attack.'
It has to be said that in addition to the first deliberately emphasizing the dominant position of the alliance leader of the Wei State, and the fourth making the land of Sanchuan a barrier to prevent the southward invasion of the "Beidi Hu people", the second and third items are roughly similar to the "Oath of the Beard" that is gradually forgotten today.
Therefore, the tribal chiefs of the two places were very satisfied.
Of course, what satisfied them even more was the fifth promise, which was to recognize the right of residence of these tribes in Sanchuan, and it was a permanent right of residence, so that they no longer had to worry about the possibility of Wei retaking the land.
And from the sixth item onwards, there is the regulation of "commerce".
For example, first of all, it is determined that "Yudi" is the first free trade city of the alliance, and the alliance will jointly maintain its law and order, and the alliance can trade with each other here, and can also negotiate with the alliance leader (Wei State), the principle of transaction is "fairness, justice, and voluntariness", and no deception, no looting, etc.
Among these regulations, there was only one that made the tribes hesitate, and that was Zhao Hongrun's stipulation that the two parties to the transaction must be members of the covenant, and it is clear that Zhao Hongrun specifically targeted the Beidi Hu people and the northern Koreans.
After all, in the past, the two ethnic groups, and even the Xuan ethnic group, they also had a lot of trade with the Hu people in the north and South Korea, and what Zhao Hongrun had to do was to divide the two sides of the previous transaction, after all, frequent transactions would make the two forces quickly familiar, Zhao Hongrun didn't want the "Sanchuan business circle" that he had finally promoted, there was a possibility of pro-Korea, even if it was pro-Hu people!
Therefore, one of the patriarchs raised objections.
"Respected King Su, the wool and sheepskin that my Sanchuan tribe is rich in, other tribes have it, if it is according to King Su's regulations, our only trading partner is your ......"
"Is this patriarch worried that my country will not be able to eat your goods?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile in the Chinese language: "It's okay, this king can assure you that as long as the price is right, no matter how many commercial goods such as wool and sheepskin, my Great Wei can eat them." ”
Just kidding, don't say that sheepskin wool is a bestseller in Wei, even if it is piled up too much, it's a big deal that he Zhao Hongrun sent it to those poor people in China who can't afford to buy winter clothes for free, anyway, pure sheepskin is not worth a few dollars, this money, he, Zhao Hongrun, as the prince of the Wei people, can afford to lose, and is willing to lose.
What's more, he can also be a middleman, selling to Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and selling to the vassal state Weiguo, in short, the Sanchuan tribe is not allowed to trade with Korea.
"Since the Honorable King Su is hereby assured ......," the patriarch nodded, accepting the statement.
And no wonder, after all, who is it not a deal for them to trade with? Anyway, Wei will still be their alliance leader in the future, if there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster in their tribe, they must not seek the help of this alliance leader?
Among them, the wiser ones, such as the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgoh, have already seen some signs from the "restrictions on trading partners" and "restrictions on trading goods" in these regulations.
For example, in several "special circumstances permitted" transaction regulations, Zhao Hongrun clearly stated that when the goods given by the transaction partner were horses, iron ore (any metal ore), etc., the transaction was allowed in special cases, and Wei State gave a high price to buy; However, it is forbidden to sell such things, including weapons that Wei later sold to the Sanchuan tribes, to tribes, states, and forces that are not part of the Alliance.
"The heart of this Su King...... It looks pretty big.'"
Halfago glanced at Zhao Hongrun a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at another article of the many regulations on the paper: "Both parties to the transaction are settled in Wei copper, silver, and gold."
"Money? Money? Do I have these two coins? ”
Even Zhu Hai, the general of the Cheng Gao army, couldn't understand this item.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun explained with a smile: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future, so be prepared." ”
Perhaps in his bones, he valued gold and silver far less than copper and iron.
Especially iron.
After all, iron can make weapons and make Wei's army stronger and stronger, but what about gold and silver?
What is the use of being good-looking and showing off wealth?
Of course, it is possible to make a golden gold vessel to slaughter the people of Pakistan, but it is a pity that Wei has a feud against Pakistan. (To be continued.) )
