Chapter 959: The Provocation of the Persian State
In Qin Tian's view, the real coming of all nations should be those countries who come willingly.
It's not that Datang uses money to attract them.
However, Qin Tian also knew that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen.
The Tang Dynasty has the ability to attract those small countries to pay tribute willingly, but it cannot make those medium-sized countries willing to pay tribute.
Between countries, interests are always the same.
It is really impossible to make a country fall in love with Datang.
Therefore, Qin Tian knew that even if the Tang Dynasty was really very powerful, many countries were afraid that they would not be willing to come to pay tribute.
Therefore, although he is not very comfortable with Li Shimin's use of money to attract other countries, he also knows that this is the best way for Datang to save face.
After Li Shimin said this, the envoys of those countries immediately became excited, and immediately after, they began to step forward to thank them.
And just when the envoy of the Persian State numbly thanked him, his words made Li Shimin's face change slightly.
"Tian Khan is really angry, my Persia is convinced of the Tang Dynasty, and after that, my Persian State is willing to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty and develop together."
When he said this, there was no problem, and Li Shimin was also very happy to hear this, although he knew that Numuti was not sincere.
But then, things were different.
"It's a pity that the envoys of Silla didn't come, otherwise they would have been rewarded by the Heavenly Khan, tsk."
When these words came out, not only Li Shimin's expression changed, but even Cheng Yanjin and Fang Xuanling were also slightly condensed.
Obviously, the words of Numui touched on the sore spot of their Datang.
The Tang Dynasty has come to the court, many countries have come, and the Western Turks, Tibetans, Persia, etc., which are stronger than the Silla Kingdom, have all come, but a small Silla country does not give face, isn't this a slap in the face of the Tang Dynasty?
Numuti is stirring up the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla.
If the Tang Dynasty and Silla go to war, even if they Persia will not make a move against the Tang Dynasty for the time being, they will be able to wait and see what happens.
You must know that when a war starts, the manpower and material resources required are very large, which is very helpful for the consumption of Datang's strength, and if there is an accident in Datang in this war, it will be even more a good thing for them in Persia.
The atmosphere in the school field suddenly froze.
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with a fierce murderous aura.
"Silla is not convinced, but I will soon make them understand some truth."
Although he knew that Numuti was going to provoke a dispute between them and Silla, Li Shimin still said a cruel word, because Silla's behavior did make him very faceless.
If he doesn't get this face back, what face will he Li Shimin have?
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Jing's expression moved slightly, obviously, he could hear that Li Shimin wanted to use troops against Silla, but they had just fought with the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the most important thing now should be to recuperate, not to start a war again.
However, Li Jing only moved his expression and did not speak.
Now is not the time.
At this time, Numuti showed a slight smile, and his purpose was achieved.
After the envoys of all countries thanked them, everyone said something else, and walked around with Li Shimin, until the afternoon, when the conference of all nations came to the court finally ended.
Although it is said that all nations are coming to the court, the whole process is not a waste of time, and it is only half a day.
And after the end of the conference of all nations, if the envoys of those countries want to leave, they can take the rewards of the Tang Dynasty, and if they don't want to leave, the Tang Dynasty will not drive them away.
But in Datang, it must be settled.
Chang'an City is still lively.
However, on the side of the imperial court, it no longer cares much about the affairs of all countries.
In the early days of the dynasty, Li Shimin's expression was very bad.
"Silla didn't come to pay tribute, and it didn't send anyone to explain the reason, what do you think about this?"
When Li Shimin said such a sentence, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government looked at each other, and it was obvious that Li Shimin was interested in the words of Numuti, of course, they knew very well that even if Numuti did not say it, when the coming of all countries was over, Li Shimin would still have to mention this issue.
"Saint, according to the report from our spies, there was a coup d'état in the Silla Kingdom, and the military power was controlled by the Silla State Minister, Tian Yigen, and after this Tian Yigen controlled the Silla Kingdom, he didn't want to be friendly with my Tang Dynasty, and the Silla King Cui Xianzhi had no choice."
Silla is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once sent hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer, but unfortunately because of the terrain, the conquest failed, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Silla Kingdom took the opportunity to develop, although the strength can not be compared with the current Tang Dynasty, but it is not weak.
However, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between Silla and the Tang Dynasty has been quite good.
This time, because of the coup d'état, he had a bad relationship with Datang.
After the news came out, the ministers immediately shouted.
"Holy Lord, no matter what happened in the Silla Kingdom, if they don't come to pay tribute, they just don't give me face in the Tang Dynasty, and they will beat them in the end."
"Saint, the minister also thinks that we should take the opportunity to fight Silla, and besides, we are famous, and Tian Yi is more in control of the Silla government, so we can support the king of Silla."
"Haha, what else do you need to be famous to fight Silla, I Datang can fight whoever I want."
"That's it, that's it, Holy One, let's send troops to Silla......"
A group of people muttered that deep down in Li Shimin's heart, he also wanted to use troops against Silla, after all, Silla made him lose face, and whoever made him lose face, he had to beat whom.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be a heavenly khan?
However, at this time, Li Jing stood up: "Shengshang, although the Silla Kingdom did not come to pay tribute, it can be regarded as excusable, my Datang is angry, and it is not impossible to use troops against him, but the minister thinks that it should be postponed for another two years, and now I Datang still have to develop for a few years." ”
Although as a military general, Li Jing also likes to fight, because that is his fate, but the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty must also be considered in the war.
Moreover, the old Turkic people migrated to the Tang Dynasty, and their food must be provided by the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty has less grain and grass that can be used to fight wars.
Therefore, it is more prudent to hoard grain for a few years, and then use troops against Silla after having food.
Li Jing said his point of view, but as soon as he said it, some people began to refute it.
"General Li, this is wrong, Silla slapped my Datang in the face this year, if my Datang doesn't get angry immediately, I'm afraid it won't work, right? Isn't it ridiculous to attack again in two years? ”
"That is, the Holy One has just become the Khan of Heaven, how can he let a little Silla be humiliated?"
