Chapter 55 Liu Yong's Foreign Policy
Liao Ji wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but Xu was not happy, so he secretly reported the news of Liao Ji's unfeeling to the Empress Dowager Wu.
When Empress Dowager Wu heard this, she guessed the probability, and her mind was not at the party in an instant, but shifted to Liao Ji.
The clan of Shu Han is not as prosperous as Wei and Dongwu Ding, and the clan of Emperor Liezu is all in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, so the royal blood is thin and the number of people is scarce.
For the sake of insurance, Empress Dowager Wu immediately summoned the imperial physician order and gave Liao Ji a pulse, but it was indeed a happy pulse, and Liao Ji was indeed pregnant.
Imperial Doctor Ling gently put down Liao Ji's hand, and a smile already appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Imperial Doctor's Order, Sister Liao, she's fine, right?" Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.
Taiyi Ling shook his head, and arched his hand to Empress Dowager Wu and Liao Ji, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the beauty, Liao Meiren is not sick, but she is happy, hehehe......"
"Joy!"
"Happy?!" Xu Shi was no longer confused, and was suddenly surprised when she heard the words, the situation was as if she was pregnant, but Xu Shi was really happy for Liao Ji, because if Liao Ji could give birth to a son for His Majesty, then her situation would change greatly.
Mother is expensive with son, Liao Ji can even covet the position of queen, and then see that Ma Yingying can still be so vigorous.
After a burst of screams from the Xu family, the hall fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liao Ji.
The expression implied in his eyes is flattering and congratulating, happy to see it come to pass, and full of indifference...... There are also those who are jealous and jealous.
Ma Yingying gritted her teeth, looked at Liao Ji, who was smiling shallowly, and was not shocked by the light wind and clouds, and was not shocked, her face was gloomy, and Liao Ji actually ...... Get pregnant by yourself first!
"Alright, alright." Empress Dowager Wu stopped Xu's shouting and said to Liao Ji: "Now that you are pregnant, it is not as good as in the past, remember not to eat musk, croton, arsenic and other things, and take good care of the fetus." β
"If you feel unwell, tell the Imperial Doctor immediately."
Liao Ji lowered her head and responded: "The concubine understands." β
"Hmm." Empress Dowager Wu stopped instructing at this time, and suddenly remembered that Liu Yong didn't know the news yet, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick!" The emperor must be informed of the good news, so who ...... Zhang De, you go for a trip yourself! β
**********************************
Jianwei Palace
Returning to the palace, the time was almost noon, so Liu Yong set up a banquet in the Jianwei Palace to feast Fan Polo, the prince of Funan.
Da Honglu He Zong, Dian Nong Lieutenant, Pi Ling, Shang Shulang Du Zhen sat together.
At the banquet, Liu Yong asked: "The prince came from afar, what he saw on the way, what he heard along the way, how do you see my place in China?" β
At this moment, Van Polo has already taken off the tiger skin mattress of the past, wearing a wide-sleeved Hanfu, and a fan-like hairy hand to learn from the Han people: "Polo traveled all the way north, and all I saw were the city and the city, the fertile fields outside the city, and the houses in the city, the country under His Majesty's rule is really worthy of a great country!" β
After Fan Polo finished speaking, Du Zhen translated a sentence to Liu Yong.
"Haha......" It is true that Liu Yong knew that Van Polo was patting on the back, but this fart felt very cool.
"I heard that your country once paid tribute to Eastern Wu, but I don't know how many gifts Wu gave to your country?" Liu Yongwan smiled.
"Not much." Van Polo said proudly: "Fifty carts of salt, iron, silk and porcelain!" β
Liu Yong pretended to laugh: "Fifty cars, it's over?" β
Van Polo was stunned and said, "It's over." β
Liu Yong said again: "That's all? β
Van Porough replied: "Yes, that's all." β
Liu Yong immediately turned to He Zong and Du Zhen, and said loudly: "King Wu Sun Quan is too petty!" β
Fan Polo was in a hurry and said to Liu Yong: "How can you see it?" β
"Wu is located in the east, sitting on the land of Jingyang and Jiao Sanzhou, and the population of money and grain is incalculable, so he is so small and childish, he only gives your country a few gifts."
After that, Liu Yong clapped his palms and said loudly: "I am going to send an envoy to your country again to present 100 carts of silk, porcelain, and wine, 2,000 swords, 1,000 halberds, and 300 pairs of armor to the king of Funan. β
"Oh? Two thousand swords, a thousand halberds............?! Van Porough was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, "Hahaha, thank you, Your Majesty!" This is the handiwork of a big country, this is the fucking handiwork of a big country! β¦β¦β
Looking at the overjoyed Van Polo, Liu Yongmei's eyes flashed a trace of cunning and ruthlessness, in his past and present lives, he didn't have a good impression of the sticks, neon, etc. around China, all of them were a group of people who were afraid of power but not virtuous!
The Chinese civilization has always been tolerant and friendly to foreign exchanges, and the gifts given by small countries are often dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than the value of the local products they bring!
And at what price do they pay?
Is it just pretending to be a little brother and holding up a faΓ§ade when the big brother's kingdoms come to court, and exploiting, slaughtering and educating them "kindly" and "lovingly" like Uncle White in Europe? Genocide of millions of people, tens of millions of people......
No!
On the contrary, these scum, when you are strong, prostrate on the ground, begging for mercy and waging your tail, and trying your best to surrender; When you are weak, your eyes are fierce, you fall into the well, and you frantically pounce on you to rip off a piece of meat!
Their eyes were bright and bright, as if they were looking for carrion on the prairie...... There is always a timid gaze flashing.
Sometimes there is a hint of fierceness in this timidity,
Such a look is very similar to that of an animal............ That's the earth dog!
So, to deal with these scumbags, Uncle Bai has taught us how to do it-
plunder their wealth, degrade their population, occupy their lands, and make them disappear from the world.
Maybe some Xiaobai will say that Liu Yong is cruel, but Liu Yong wanted to smile and asked rhetorically: "Friend, how old are you, have you been weaned?" How naΓ―ve is it? β
In this world, between countries, either you eat people, or people eat you, and you want to choose...... Which!!
This...... It's reality, the cruel law of the jungle!
This was the case in the world at the beginning of the Common Era, and in later generations, the exploitation and plundering of small countries by large countries was the same, but it was just covered with a hazy veil!
If you want to take it, you must give it first.
Therefore, Liu Yong's generous gift is just a stepping stone for Funanguo to relax his vigilance, and in the future, Funanguo will pay a hundred times more precious than these materials. This world ...... There's never a free lunch.
Stretching out a finger, Liu Yong said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy first, prince, I also have a condition." β
"Under my rule, there are many traitors and other treacherous people in the counties and southern Xinjiang, and the prisons are often overcrowded, and your country is vast and sparsely populated, so I wonder if I can use the border between the two countries to exile and settle our criminals."
He Zong and Du Zhen exchanged glances, Your Majesty is talking nonsense with his eyes open, when did the number of criminals in the country reach such a bizarre level.
"What's so hard about that!" Van Polo patted his chest, "Your Majesty, although rest assured, there is no other country in our country, and there are many ...... in the vast rainforest land." The reason why Fan Polo's father, Fan Zhan, the king of Funan, sent his youngest son to pay tribute to Shu Han was to come to Cheng I to operate in addition to the mentality of reaping benefits............ I hope to buy some weapons from the country and go back.
In recent years, Zhenla, who was originally a vassal of Funan, has set up a new king, who is young but ambitious, and wants to encroach on Funan and claim hegemony. In order to extinguish the arrogance of Zhenla, his father and the king went to Zhenla, and he didn't want to be beaten by the young and brave King Zhenla, and he lost his armor and returned defeated.
As the victor, King Chenla extorted a huge amount of land, women, and slaves from Funan, leaving behind a group of Funan monarchs and ministers who wanted to cry without tears.
"To tell you the truth, your Majesty, there is a subordinate country in the northwest of our country called Zhenla, whose present king, Kshali Kampzhi, is self-righteous and ambitious, brutally enslaves his subjects, and repeatedly raises troops to invade our country, and is in rebellion."
"Your Majesty, can you send a royal army to help our country eradicate such a tyrannical country and save the people of Zhenla from the fire of the water? Of course, as a token of gratitude, we would like to thank Your Majesty with gold and jade! Seeing that Liu Yong was young, generous, and seemed to be very foolish, Van Polo directly asked for help.
Fan Polo's words were spoken, but after Du Zhen translated, He Zong was worried...... Afraid that the emperor's head would be hot, he agreed to send troops to help.
"The stakes are so high that you can't sit down and make a decision easily. It is better for me to send an envoy to Zhenla to mediate and persuade peace between your two countries. β
Just kidding, sending troops to Funan, Liu Yong doesn't have the slightest idea now, let alone fighting the Zhenla people for the Funan people, Van Polo is delusional!
Dog eats dog, is the situation that Liu Yongle sees.
Liu Yong's policy of conquering Funan and Zhenla, which are remote and remote countries with harsh climates, is to first exile criminals to form armed expeditions, settle there, plunder, and rely on their homeland to slowly encroach on these countries.
In the future, if the Shu Han had large-scale military or conquest operations, these former criminals were familiar with the local terrain, roads, and how to survive in the humid and hot rainforest. They are the best scouts and leading parties!
