Chapter 443: Envoy to Wang Ji
Daqin finally took Han Kui as the messenger and went to Ji Zhou Wangji on behalf of Daqin to pay tribute to Ji Zhou Tianzi, which was a precious artifact scavenged from the old Chu Yingdu, which was very precious.
This time to Ji Zhou Wang Ji Ming is the Great Qin Southern Expedition to return victorious, Chu State is in the middle of the joint attack of Chen State and Cai State, near the water tower first to get the moon, naturally Daqin as a member of the new Cai Alliance, went to Ji Zhou Wang Ji to reply.
In fact, it is also the Great Qin who is willing to regard Ji Zhou Wangji as one thing, and now the male lords of the Central Plains are willing to take Ji Zhou Wangji as one thing in addition to Qi, and those other princes all regard Ji Zhou Wangji as a mascot.
The tribute carried by Daqin is the specification of a duke's country, and it has not been offered to Ji Zhou Wangji for many years.
The envoy of Daqin also returned after more than a month, which was close to twenty days in Ji Zhou Wangji, and only ten days were spent on the road to go back and forth, which depended on the straight road built by South Korea in Yingchuan, and Wancheng also built a straight road in Yingyin, and the journey was several times shorter.
Han Kui, as the prime minister of Great Qin, was naturally treated ceremoniously by Ji Zhou Tianzi, and now this Ji Zhou Tianzi has only been on the throne for a year, and the original Ji Zhou Tianzi died of depression not long after canonizing the three Jin Han Zhao Wei families as princes.
The young Ji Zhou Tianzi was also indecisive, and Zhao Lei, who was relied on by the Ji Zhou royal family, strongly persuaded the young Ji Zhou Tianzi to draw up a document calling on the princes of the world to crusade against Korea, and it was categorically impossible for Korea to annex Zheng State, the eastern barrier of Wangji.
But Zhao Lei was disappointed, the loyal people of the entire Ji Zhou Wangji were also disappointed, the courage of the young Ji Zhou Tianzi was still insufficient compared to the previous generation of the Son of Heaven, when the three soldiers of Han, Zhao and Wei surrounded Ji Zhou Wangji, it was already scared of the courage of the young Ji Zhou Tianzi, in the face of South Korea's atrocities in Zheng, Ji Zhou Tianzi hesitated and wandered, but he was extremely strict with his courtiers, and he would never let go of Ji Zhou's military power.
Seeing the great war between Korea and Zheng Guo in the Yong clan, the virtuous minister Gongsun Yu and his heirs, who had always had the revival of Zheng Guo, were all killed by the assassins recruited by the Youshi, and the head was under the command of South Korea, in exchange for Gou An under the protection of the You clan in Korea, and the remaining seven Mu were either killed in battle or surrendered to prisoners, anyway, the last elite of Zheng Guo, one hundred thousand seven Mu Zheng pawns, were all surrendered by the Han army to the Yongshi Mountains.
This royal prince, who once came out of the Ji Zhou Wangji in the past, and the Mu people, who were once prominent nearly a hundred years ago, have existed in name only, and they will not be able to escape the end of being annexed by South Korea after all.
The more it came to the end, the more the young Ji Zhou Tianzi was afraid of the edge of the Han army, and Zhao Lei, a famous minister of Wangji, also sighed as he looked at the worry of the Son of Heaven.
The turning point of the matter was that Han Kui, the minister of the Great Qin State, led the Great Qin delegation to Ji Zhou Wangji, and he had not seen the duke's country for a long time to hand over the tribute to Ji Zhou Wangji, which also made the young Ji Zhou Tianzi excited, and Zhao Lei, these courtiers also picked up the last trace of dignity.
When the courtiers of Ji Zhou Wangji found out that the worship of Qin not only did not deduct the part, but even increased the part, it also made Zhao Lei a little relieved, when he was advised to add the title of the Son of Heaven to the Qin State, it was to contain South Korea, and now it seems that containing South Korea may not have succeeded, but the attitude of "respecting the king" of the Qin State also made the courtiers of Ji Zhou Wangji and the young Ji Zhou Tianzi feel great kindness!
At the moment, in the treatment of the Qin State Mission, Ji Zhou Wangji also put out the "Nine Guest Gifts".
After preparing for a few days, Han Kui did not sit idle in Wangji, but sent someone to give a part of the congratulatory gifts to the courtiers of the Son of Heaven in Wangji, and most of them salvaged yellow and white things or some precious bronzes and brilliant pearls from Yingdu.
These Wangji courtiers were very happy to see that the envoy of the Qin State was so arrogant, and they were very happy to accept the gift, even the virtuous minister Zhao Lei, who reached out and accepted the gift without hitting the smiling face.
Therefore, Han Kui's entry and exit into the mansion of Wangji's courtiers was also smoother, and what he discussed was nothing more than the Korean extermination of Zheng, which was too disobedient to the authority of Ji Zhou Tianzi, although it was a bit of empty talk, but under the stimulation of the wine, these Wangji courtiers were also indignant, and scolded the Koreans as "chaotic ministers and thieves".
Han Kui provoked hatred towards South Korea for most of these courtiers, but in fact, there was no need to provoke it, South Korea risked the world's disapproval to destroy and annex the Zheng State around Wangji, which had already touched the bottom line of these courtiers, so that these courtiers felt that the sword of Korea was already against their necks.
Han Kui said that what the Qin State planned was Zhao Lei, who had always been more prestigious above the Wang Yi court, and Zhao Lei still agreed with the Qin people, especially Han Kui was good at dialectics, from the time when the dog Rong broke through the pickaxe Jingji Zhou Wangji moved eastward was escorted all the way by the ancestors of the Qin State, and it was said that the southward migration of the Qin people was the persecution of the Jin and Wei clans, and the touch of sympathy also made Zhao Lei completely defenseless against Han Kui, and gradually opened his heart.
inevitably talked about the annexation of Zheng Guo by South Korea, and this upright celebrity above the Wangji court also spoke in an impassioned tone, regarding South Korea's move as a great rebellion, and scolded him.
Han Kui first complied with it from the side, and then took the opportunity to put forward some suggestions from the Great Qin, that is, the Great Qin sent troops to defeat the Rong Di who was wandering between Yiluo, and sent a population to Ji Zhou Wangji to enrich Wangji's taxes and soldiers, so that he could have spare strength to protect Wangji's safety.
Although Zhao Lei is drinking, he still remains sober, the Qin people will definitely not be untargeted, Zhao Lei also understands in his heart that the Qin people's tribute to Wang Ji this time is not the so-called gift of the princes, it is nothing more than that the Qin people are aware of the cold lips and teeth, if South Korea is against Wang Ji, how can the Qin State be stable.
Therefore, Zhao Lei also asked: "The Qin people are so bold, how can it be that there are no requirements?" ”
Han Kui also nodded happily and said, "The Qin people only want to become Gao, not for anything else, just to stop the Han people!" ”
"Cheng Gao?"
Zhao Lei frowned, to be honest, Chenggao is not a rich land, but a land of undulating mountains, there are very few places to cultivate, it is difficult to compare with the wealth around Wangji Luoyi, and Wangji is also negligent in managing where, so that the Chenggao area is full of a large number of Rongdi, gathering people as bandits.
But Cheng Gao is very large, Qin General Qiang Yuan originally occupied Cheng Gao, but the Cheng Gao he occupied was only a part of Cheng Gao Mountain, which belonged to the territory of Zheng State, and later this strong hill performed very well, and Gongsun Yu also valued its courage very much, so he was transferred to Yang Zhai Yi.
The area of Chenggao was once a dangerous place in the east of Ji Zhou Wangji, when Ji Zhou Wangji moved east to Luoyi, the three armies were still there, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops of Chu State, Ji Zhou Wangji was also able to rely on Chenggao and Chu State to maneuver, maintaining the basic majesty of Ji Zhou Wangji.
But now, Wang Ji's troops can only hold a few dangerous places around Luoyi, although Chenggao is dangerous, but it is also beyond the reach of the whip.
After weighing, Zhao Lei also responded to Han Kui, and he would definitely advise the Son of Heaven when he gave the gift of Jiubin.
In fact, there is no need for Zhao Lei's advice, that Ji Zhou Tianzi thinks that the Qin people want to resist Korea, so he naturally can't ask for it, and he heard that the Qin people are willing to defeat the Rong Di between Yiluo and expand the population and strength of Wang Ji, this young Ji Zhou Tianzi is like grasping the last straw, and even invited Han Kui into the position of "Zhou Xiang" in the original court, and after a little thought, he agreed to all the "suggestions" put forward by the Qin State.
In this way, the Great Qin took Ji Zhou Wangji as the front fort to resist the Koreans, and the Great Qin moved the Qin people into the vicinity of Wangji to enrich the population, and sent 30,000 troops, that is, sent the Nanyang army out of Yingyin to defeat the Rong Di between Yiluo, of which the burden of grain and grass was dependent on the supply of Wangji.
