Western Qin was busy immigrating to the steppes of the Black Sea and the northern Caspian Sea and preparing for the establishment of a state, and all strata of Western countries began to have a comprehensive understanding of the Western Qin's conquest of the Khazar Khanate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the second year of Baoying, this is the first court meeting of the new year.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat and asked, "Do you have something to play?" ”

Wang Can stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Wang, Wang Can, the governor of the East Factory of the General Machinery Academy, has something to report!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Say!" ”

"The king, three hundred years ago, the Huns who moved westward went all the way to the west, and the Alans, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, Germans, and Burgundians on the way to the west, thus triggering the largest migration of the West in history, and these westward migration of the peoples brought an extremely painful blow to the West, the Hun King Attila was the most courageous and talented king among all the Hun kings, and he led his Hun army to fight the Eastern and Western Roman Empires every year to call the ministers and tributes, so the Westerners called him the 'whip of God'! Recently, there is a news that is not favorable to my Western Qin from the Eastern Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire has a Greek troubadour named Mach, this person said in his biography of his travels that my Western Qin is like the Xiongnu three hundred years ago, they call the invasion of the Xiongnu to the West the first Yellow Peril, because the Huns are yellow people, this Mach in his biography of his travels called our Western Qin people the protagonist of the second Yellow Peril, he said in the text that our Western Qin conquered the Khazar Khanate marked the arrival of the second Yellow Peril in the West, He also predicted that the invasion and conquest of the West by the Western Qin would never stop because of this, and this remark and prophecy aroused vigilance and even panic among many Western kingdoms and khanates of all classes, including the Eastern Roman Empire! ”

Zhao Ziliang was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table: "Bastard, what is the origin of this person named Mahe, and why do you want to slander my image of Xiqin so much?" His remarks will make my Western Qin fall into a passive position in the diplomacy of the West, and the people of Western countries will also resist us, even our goods! ”

Wang Can said: "Great King, this man named Mach is a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman in Greece, who has always wanted to squeeze back into high society, so he often corresponded with the nobles and upper classes of Western countries, selling them his ideas and poetry!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "This kind of person's mouth is too bad and poisonous, you can't let such a person talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes, my lord! The last general will send someone over to shut him up! After Wang Can finished speaking, he said: "There is one more thing to report to the king, after my Western Qin took the Khazar Khanate, the Great Cannibals seem to have begun to become vigilant, and they have significantly increased their troops in the border area bordering our Western Qin!" In addition, the Great Food Caliph al-Mansur began to speed up the pace of cleaning up the internal opposition, and if the Great Food was internally stable, it would either become a fierce rival of our Western Qin or the Eastern Roman Empire! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the other officials and ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Dugu Jun stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, my Xiqin has just experienced a big war, it seems that it is not suitable to raise troops in a short period of time, on the one hand, the military expenditure is too large, on the other hand, the soldiers also need to recuperate, and the Fifth Army is fighting against the Bolgars in the northwest, and the cost is very huge!" In terms of national strength, if you don't count the Central Plains Imperial Court, the national strength of my Western Qin alone cannot be compared with the Great Food Country for the time being, and my Western Qin counts the newly acquired places of Khazar Protectorate, Yayik Protectorate and Kimak Protectorate, with a total population of only 12 million people, and the total population of the Great Food Country is 30 million! In terms of fiscal revenue, the annual financial revenue of our Western Qin is only 30% of that of the Great Food Country, and their caliphate guards have 100,000 people, and the other provinces can organize 500,000 or 600,000 local troops in a very short time! ”

Other officials also stood up one after another and said that the relationship with the Great Food Country has not yet reached the point of immediately sending troops to attack, and it has just experienced a big war, but it is not appropriate to provoke another war immediately, the Great Food Country is not comparable to the Khazar Khanate, the territory of the Great Food Country is full of desert Gobi, and the national conditions are also very different, if you want to attack the Great Food Country, you must be fully prepared.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Since we will not send troops to attack the Great Food Country for the time being, then we can't let the Great Food Country Caliph al-Mansur easily purge other sect forces in the country, we must do something to make their domestic contradictions aggravate and add some trouble to Mansur!" Wang Can, you are the governor of Dongchang, how do you think the contradictions within the Great Food Country should be exacerbated without sending troops? ”

Wang Can clenched his fists and said: "Great King, the last general thinks that we can secretly fund other opposition forces in the Great Food Country, and we can support them in terms of money and even weapons, so that they have the strength to fight against Mansour!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Wang Can's method is indeed feasible, you are responsible for arranging it, and you can make your own decisions if it costs less than 500,000 yuan!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Gao Shang stood up and arched his hand: "Great King, in fact, we can create friction between the Great Food Country and the Eastern Roman Empire, let them fight first, these two countries are old rivals, if there is friction on their border, it will definitely not be surprising, and they will not suspect our Western Qin." In addition, if we really want to send troops to attack the Great Food Country, we can unite with the Eastern Roman Empire, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, we and the Eastern Roman Empire have no conflict of interests for the time being, we should be able to unite to deal with the Great Food Country! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "It seems that this matter is only afraid that it will fall on the West Factory, the Governor of the West Factory Xuan Eighteen, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and within a year, it will create friction between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Great Food Country, and this friction will be so big that the two countries will fight!" ”

Xuan 18 stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, King!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Wang Can, this king heard that the relationship between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Bulgarians in the north is very bad, although the Eastern Roman Empire is an empire, it has to pay tribute to the Bulgarian Khan every year, isn't it?" ”

Wang Can said: "Yes, the king! Before the Abbasid dynasty was established, at the height of the chaos in the Great Eclipse Kingdom, Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire took the opportunity to lead an army to attack Gaimanicha Macaya in northern Syria. In the sixth year of Tempo (747 AD), he led an army into the depths of Armenia and Mesopotamia, when the last caliph of the Umayyad dynasty, Marwan II, was in power, and he was unable to resist the attacks of Constantine V. Although he removed the threat of the Great Food Kingdom to the Eastern Roman Empire, the Slavs and Bulgarians north of Thrace began to threaten the northern borders of the Eastern Roman Empire again! In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the Bulgarian Khan King Winnech succeeded to the throne, and he demanded that the Eastern Roman Empire double the tribute according to the previous practice, but due to the reform of the Eastern Roman Empire's military district system and the chaos of the Great Food Country, the Eastern Roman Empire recovered a lot, and Constantine V no longer sued for peace with the Bulgarian Khanate, and he ordered to build 600 castles in the deep part of the northern border to resist the attack of the Bulgarians. From the fifteenth year of Tianbao, a war broke out almost every year between the Bulgarian Khanate and the Eastern Roman Empire, which was not large, but the Bulgarians fought the Eastern Roman Empire every year".

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "Now our enemy is not the Eastern Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire is only a potential enemy, and before there is a conflict of interest between us, it is not suitable for us to make enemies with the Eastern Roman Empire!" At present, there is a conflict of interest with us is the Great Cannibal Country, its territory borders on our Western Qin, the aggressiveness of the Great Cannibal Many of you here have been taught, even if it does not provoke us now, we can't do nothing, instead of letting the Big Cannibal fight first, it is better for us to secretly arrange first, since the Eastern Roman Empire is the sworn enemy of the Great Cannibal, why don't we help the Eastern Roman Empire? We're going to let the Eastern Roman Empire concentrate on dealing with the Great Cannibals! On the order of the king, a large port and wharf were built in Kerch on the northern shore of the Black Sea, large warships were built, and officers and soldiers were sent from the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea to Kerch as the basic backbone of the formation of the Black Sea Army, and a new fleet was built within half a year, and after the fleet was formed, it harassed Bulgaria along the coast, so that they had no time to find trouble with the Eastern Roman Empire! ”

Gao Shang asked: "Great King, will we build warships and fleet in the Black Sea, will it cause suspicion and uneasiness in the Eastern Roman Empire?" Will this affect the relationship between the two of us? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "It depends on whether our Western Qin diplomats have the ability to dispel the suspicion of the Eastern Roman Empire, and tell my Western Qin envoys in Constantinople that we will increase the export quota of paper, tea and silk in exchange for us to form a small fleet in the Black Sea to escort merchant ships!" At the same time, we want to create friction between the northern Magyars, Pechenegs and Bulgarians, we can't let Bulgaria pose too much threat to the Eastern Roman Empire for the time being, and the Eastern Roman Empire has more important things to do, that is, to fight to the death with the Great Food Country! ”

Wang Can hugged his fists and said: "Yes, I will do my best to deal with this matter!" ”

Zhao Ziliang remembered that the founding celebration would be held in the second half of the year, and said to the officials and generals: "We have scheduled to hold the founding celebration on the first day of September this year, so now we must send people to inform the envoys of various countries in Henglus, and invite the emperors, kings, khans, and tribal leaders of various countries to come to watch the ceremony. At the same time, he also sent a fast horse to Chang'an to inform Zhao Ting about the founding ceremony, and asked him to write to the Central Plains court as an envoy, and asked the Central Plains court to send important ministers to watch the ceremony! ”

Liu Wei agreed: "Yes, after the official returns, he will immediately instruct the Rite Division to handle this matter."
