Chapter 325: Appear, Anxi Four Towns—9

After the end of the autumn harvest in 186 AD, Liangzhou completely got rid of the food crisis, and they could have launched a larger-scale military operation on it, however, they finally abandoned this arrangement, and instead brought a stable order to those places they had just occupied, and large-scale agricultural production began to spread in the Western Regions.

The qanats were placed in front of Suning for the first time, and the abundance of aquatic plants in the Western Regions is far greater than that of the same area after 1800, but Suning still uses this classic water collection method!

Especially Gaochangguo, which is located in the Turpan region. They have left more than 1,100 qanats in history, with a total length of about 5,000 kilometers, and this has become Suning's current goal, Gaochangguo as the first to surrender to him heart and country, currently still retains a relatively complete construction order, and is also the first place in Suning to start large-scale construction actions!

Cheshi Houguo also followed suit and launched large-scale crop planting, and places like Shache Country became an excellent place for Suning to try to grow cotton!

In this way, there were suddenly many people like little rats in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, who frantically dug shafts and underground culverts, and soon created many karez wells. In the more arid country of Shache and the end of the country, the seeds of various crops have also been taken one after another, Suning does not expect them to all blossom and bear fruit, but next year's harvest will tell Suning what is more suitable for planting here, as for the Hami region, which has long been under its control, at this time, it has already sent him a fruitful report card, the reproductive ability of alfalfa is jaw-dropping, and their ability to fix the soil is enough to make people feel novel. And most of the cacti and cactus balls, with the heroic heart of opening up the territory, are extending madly to the Tarim Basin!

The autumn of 186 A.D. was spent in this hectic rhythm, and winter soon followed. And the entire Western Regions also fell into silence and peace, almost all the officers of the Liangzhou system were waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival, as for the Kushan Empire army opposite, it was not yet on their hearts.

But His Majesty the Emperor of the Industrial and Commercial Empire, that is, the name of Hu Bi Sejia II, before the arrival of the Spring Festival, sent a small congratulatory gift to Suning, this congratulatory gift consists of two parts, one part is a reply to Suning's letter, His Majesty the Emperor said strongly, Dawan and Kangju were once their subject countries, and now the Han Dynasty defeated their Shu army and tried to occupy their Shu land, as the former suzerain, they can not be ignored.

Suning was very amused by the emperor's statement. You must know that at this time, the Kushan Empire has fallen into decadence, and they will fall into greater division and turmoil in a few decades, although their ability to survive surpasses their neighbor Anxi Empire and the former Han Empire, but the Eastern Han Dynasty with the Soviet Union is no longer what it used to be, and the Liangzhou system can almost use the power of one state to fight against this huge empire with a population of 5 million!

And the other gift that the emperor gave to Suning was much more amiable. It was a very formal letter of state, which should be sent to Luoyang and handed over to the emperor as required, but Suning never cared about this ancient diplomatic rule, he opened the letter directly, and sure enough, he saw the content that made him jaw-dropping!

The Kushan Empire obviously still knows the Han Dynasty better, after all, in the Western Han Dynasty, the two of them established contact, so they still know the system of the Han Dynasty very well.

He promised that given Liu Hong, he could offer a large number of gold and beauties.

Suning was obviously interested in gold and beautiful women, and he sent his personal guards to break into the hotel where Shiji lived, and detain all the goods they were carrying, as well as unrelated non-diplomatic personnel. As for those diplomats who should enjoy immunity according to the rules of later generations, they were tattooed on the back by Suning to reply to the Emperor of the Kushan Empire, yes, Suning has already begun to negotiate with the other party in terms of diplomatic rhetoric, as the lord of the Han Dynasty or the Central Plains civilization. This is obviously an act that makes them very dissatisfied with those big families in Liangzhou, of course, this is not because of how loyal they are to the emperor, but because according to their plan, they are the ones who should do this!

However, Suning's approach will take a certain amount of time before he can return to Hanyang County, and he can now continue to pick and choose to reprimand the other party in diplomatic etiquette by his own temperament!

In the second century A.D., there was no universal diplomatic etiquette in the global village. If some tribes in Central Asia and Western Europe are still engaged in simple discussions about trust and untrustworthiness, then they should really be like those empires in the eastern time and space to learn, because as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were already quite stable norms for foreign affairs between feudal states!

The Han Dynasty is extremely particular about etiquette, which even the Kushan Empire understands very well, so Suning's pickiness about etiquette, even in the eyes of the people of the Kushan Empire, is just a manifestation of their attention to etiquette, of course, there will still be dissatisfaction, but they think that this dissatisfaction is also reasonable!

So the envoys from the Kushan Empire returned to their country in a rage.

Suning knew that the next time he saw them would probably be after next summer, after all, the capital of the Kushan Empire was still relatively far away from the Western Regions, so they had to walk northwest first, and then rotate 270 degrees to bypass the Pamir Plateau before they could embark on their way home!

If Suning wanted the Nuguishan Empire to declare war, then they would have to do the same, but fortunately, Suning was not completely out of choice in this matter. First of all, I would like to thank Gan Ying, who was ordered to send an envoy to the Eastern Roman Empire a few decades ago!

Gan Ying was not a successful diplomat, as he failed to meet his original purpose. Later generations speculated that he had inquired about routes to the Mediterranean and the Roman Empire on the shores of the Persian Gulf, but the boatmen were reluctant to make a large circle around the Arabian Peninsula.

His plan had to be terminated, however, the Roman Empire dealt a resounding slap in the face to the diplomatic failure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because they had a group of envoys who had arrived in the territory of the Han Dynasty in the previous ten years, and it was likely that this group of people was just a group of merchants, however, they were enough!
