Chapter 369: Divine Stick Rank Messenger
If the noble guard's words were said to Li Zhipeng and the like, of course, it would not be wrong, but when he said this to Qi Jiguang, he was a little blindsided.
The little prince is here to release goodwill this time, and he has taken a big risk when he enters the customs, in case the court does not pay attention to faith and detains him directly, it is equivalent to becoming a hostage, and it will be a problem whether the Tatars dare to attack in the future.
However, he believed that the Han people also wanted peace, and they were even more reluctant to always meet each other in arms, so he dared to enter the customs alone.
Wang Chonggu and the others also admired the courage of the little prince, to be honest, if the other party asked to go to the little prince's tent with only a hundred guards, Wang Chonggu and they resolutely refused to let him go, for fear that the Tatars would take the opportunity to kidnap and take him hostage.
At the level of the country, whether to talk about credit or not is actually a matter of one sentence, unlike individuals living in a society, it is difficult to move step by step without credit, and it is also despised in terms of character.
Between countries, there is only a conflict of interests and interests, and there is no place for moral standards such as credit and morality. Even if there is an inappropriate move for a while, if you make some concessions on something in the future, make amends, and the page will be over.
"Your Highness, please continue." The little prince was intrigued by the point of view.
"My idea is that all peoples should live in harmony with each other, and no longer use the cruel means of war to solve problems. This will bring great benefits to the people of all ethnic groups, for example, what does your dynasty need, it does not need to fight to rob, but to buy, and we also have many things to buy from you, it is profitable for both sides, but what is war, equal destruction? In every war, the Gui Dynasty seems to have plundered a lot of materials, but compared with the manpower and material resources spent on launching a large army, whether it is a gain or a loss, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Prince also understands it. Besides.
"Well, whether you make or lose, it's a trivial matter, human life is priceless, and those innocent people who die in every war are the biggest losses." The little prince sighed.
Besides, Wang Chonggu and the others moved in their hearts, what's the matter, there is an outlier in the Tatar tribe? They also see human life as priceless future leaders, which is a good sign.
In fact, the Tatars do not spare human lives, but they live in war all the year round, or hunting, and it is impossible to value human life as much as the Han people, and to be honest, the lives of the Han people are worth the lives of the middle and upper classes, and few people pay attention to the lives of the lower classes.
That is, human life is a matter of heaven, this is the most important truth in the world, all wars have hurt people, there are heavenly peace, and heaven will be angry. The most important thing is to fight back and forth like this, there will be no result at all, it is impossible for the Gui Dynasty to take away my Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to destroy my Ming regime, and every time it is just to come in and loot some property, which can be obtained through normal trade. Looting is by no means the right way, and mutual communication and friendly trade are the king's way. ”
"Well, well, I agree with His Highness Qincha's words, in fact, I don't approve of fighting around without a result, losing lives and money in vain." The little prince nodded repeatedly.
"If your dynasty and my Ming Dynasty maintain a friendly situation for generations, what will be the situation at that time, Your Highness wants to travel to the Ming Dynasty, come in and play, which city you like, live in it, you want to learn Sinology, and there are many Han beauties, Your Highness can marry you." Besides, like a god, he persuaded and tempted in every way.
The little prince smiled, of course he understood that he was tempting him, but besides, the prospect was indeed too good for him to yearn for it.
"I agree with His Highness Qincha's words, but it's a pity that you and I are not decision-makers." The little prince couldn't help but sigh.
"Why does Your Highness say this, Your Highness is the master of the prairie in the future, the king, even if our vision cannot be realized now, looking back twenty or thirty years, there will be a day of success." And optimistically.
Wang Chonggu Fang and others were also moved, if one day the imperial court and the Tatars can coexist peacefully and never be enemies, the situation at the border pass is not eased, but greatly improved, and in the future, as long as you guard against the strong tribes of Wala and Wuliangha, these races are still incomparable with the Tatars.
If this is really the case, half of the border army can rest and recuperate, and the military expenditure can be reduced by more than half, what a great benefit this is for the imperial court.
"Well, if one day I can really decide on policy, then you are still the ambassador plenipotentiary, and I will sign such a treaty with you: peace for a hundred years, never war again." The little prince suddenly grinned.
The people in the hall were shocked, a hundred years of reconciliation, never to fight again, what a fascinating feat.
The Ming Dynasty did not want to fight, and it can also be said that it was war-weary, because there was no benefit in winning, and the outside places were not suitable for farming (of course, this was formed by the technology and population base at that time and many other factors, and later generations proved that all places were livable and could be farmed). The Ming Dynasty once occupied a lot of places outside the Saiwai, and finally had to give them up.
From the point of view of the Western Han people, the barbarian land is uninhabitable, and the barbarian people are unbearable to educate, so they should be made by beasts. If you come, you will chase it, and if you go, you will be safe.
This view has not changed much until the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor once chased the north of the desert five times, and the Mongolian ethnic groups at that time could not find the north, and occupied a lot of places, and then retreated to the Guannei, unable to maintain the military presence outside the fortress for a long time, and could not immigrate to the past.
The Tatars don't want to always fight, and there is no result in fighting back and forth, and it is impossible to swallow the Ming Dynasty, which has a vast territory and many people, and the number of troops contained in a single population base is enough to make all ethnic groups outside the country frightened. Therefore, the Tatars are to break through the border pass, and when they come in, they will rob some property and slaves, and they still have to retreat outside the fortress, and the speed of retreat is very fast, otherwise if they are really cut off by the Ming army, there is a danger that they will not be able to go back.
This has never happened, but it is not impossible.
"Okay, if there is a day, in fact, it is not far away, I will definitely ask the Holy Lord for this messenger, just like the two of us chatted like today and signed the contract." Besides, he clapped his hands and applauded.
"Bring the wine, I have to celebrate today, and I have to have a few glasses just for His Royal Highness the Prince." Qi Jiguang said loudly.
"That is, if there is such a day, His Royal Highness the Prince will be a Buddha of all families outside Senese, and the merits he has created are incalculable." Wang Chonggu was also a little excited.
Although it is still an empty word, it comes from the mouth of Hannaji, which is full of hope.
King Altan is also an old man in the age of the sixtieth year, he can live, how long can he live, how long can he be in power, sooner or later he will have to hand over the power to Hannaji, and then the little prince will be able to decide whether the Tatars and the Ming will be at war or peace.
The two sides have been reconciled for a hundred years, and in these hundred years, how many wars have been fought and how many people have died, how many families will no longer suffer the tragedy of having their homes destroyed and their families dying tragically, and how many people will be spared the tragic fate of being taken away as slaves.
Wang Chonggu said that if this matter is successful, the little prince can be called a Buddha of ten thousand families, and he is not mixed with water at all, and this merit is too great. Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, so saving thousands of people, saving thousands of people, and even saving the lives of tens of millions of people, this merit cannot be counted at all.
Moreover, he was also very excited, he did not expect that there would be a peace warrior like the little prince in the Tatar people, this realm is much higher than that of many Han people, and he looks at the problem from the perspective of the interests of the two nations for a century.
If there really was such a day, of course he would be willing to be such a plenipotentiary ambassador and sign such a treaty with his own hands, and if he could, he would really die without regrets.
Writing one's name on a treaty is not a simple matter, but a great event, and after signing one's name on some epoch-making treaties, there may be two endings, one is to last forever, and the other is to leave a stench for thousands of years.
Although the treaty is composed of various complex factors, and is the product of too many power balance disputes and even life-and-death struggles between two ethnic countries, the most real thing that future generations remember is the name of the signatory, which is clearly written on the treaty and is the most intuitive.
Several of the Tatar retinue were speechless in shock, they didn't expect that their Royal Highness the prince would be able to say such a thing, how could this be, how could it be? If we don't fight with the Han Chinese, then are we still Tatar warriors?
The education they have received since they were sensible is to fight, fight with the environment, fight with wild beasts, fight with the surrounding tribes, and then fight with the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that they were born to fight a nation.
How can His Royal Highness the Prince ignore this, saying that he will be reconciled for a hundred years and never fight again, so what do the warriors of the clan do? Can you only herd horses and sheep? What a boring and boring life it was.
However, they did not dare to refute, and expressed Hannaji's kindness to the others to the fullest, and he was a harmless little white rabbit with a happy and harmless appearance, but in the eyes of these guards, His Royal Highness the Prince was the sacred and inviolable master.
They had a bit of a short-circuit in their brains for a while, and they couldn't get around this bend.
At this time, a servant took a box of fine wine, which was a local specialty, Xinghuachun.
The servant came over and wanted to pour wine, but Qi Jiguang stopped the servant and said with a smile: "I'm coming, I want to toast His Royal Highness the prince with a glass of wine." ”
Hannaji smiled and said, "What kind of cup do you use, you don't drink it well, use a big bowl." ”
Besides, he smiled: "Okay, come to the biggest bowl." ”
Besides, it didn't matter, the servant went down and brought a dozen large bowls in a short time.
Everyone was dizzy when they looked at it, is this still a bowl? It's a few laps bigger than the sea bowl, and it's like a basin.
Besides, he smiled and said, "How is it, Your Highness, is this bowl big enough?" ”
The little prince was also taken aback, this = almost caught up with the trough of the drinking horse, which is also called a bowl? The Han people are scheming.
But of course, he refused to show weakness, and said with a smile: "As long as you can do this bowl, I will accompany you to the end." ”
Besides, he smiled: "Okay, as long as His Highness is willing to accompany me, I can drink as many bowls as I want." ”
The two of them started gambling on alcohol after a while.
