Chapter 187: Delivery of Prisoners
Lu Chenhuan has not yet set off for two days, and it is estimated that he can travel to the Tongguan area. The secret report of the Supervision Department of the www.biquge.info Pavilion came from the border pass, saying that the Khitan cattle and sheep had set off from Shangjing. All the way to Dashun.
After Lu Chengqi received the secret report, he secretly laughed twice in his heart: "Let you be like a ghost, and you will finally be soft!" "Anyway, put the secret report aside, and ignore it. These envoys, when passing through the border, Dashun will issue a "museum ticket", which is equivalent to a passport or pass for future generations. This hall ticket is a very useful thing, with it, the missions of other countries can live a very nourishing life in Dashun, which is equivalent to a long-term meal ticket, how long you stay in Dashun, the meal ticket is useful during your stay. When you want to return to China, the Dashun court will also give you a lot of return gifts. Of course, this was before Lu Chengqi was pro-government, and now there is no such good thing, at most I will give you some local specialties, real "local" specialties.
At that time, Dashun received many foreign envoys and guests from Fanyi, and there were four in the East: the first Goryeo, from the Fuyu family. During the weakening of the Yin Dynasty, the surviving prince of Yin Shang went to Korea, and since then he has been a descendant of Yin Shang, in the Han Dynasty it was Lelang County. The second Japan, at that time, was called the Wa Nu State, also known as the Wa State. I thought that their country was the land of the rising sun, so I changed the name to Japan. The third is the Bohai Eagle, which is another branch of the original Goryeo. The fourth is the Jurchen, another branch of the Bohai Sea.
There are eight in the West: the first Dong Yu, located in the city of Qingtang, is connected to the Uighurs and Khotan. The second is Khotan, with green mountains to the west, bordering Brahmins (later India). The third is the Uighurs, originally of Xiongnu descent and called the Uighurs in the previous dynasty, Jugan, Sha, and Xizhou. The fourth was the Qiuzi, who lived in the city of Juyan, another species of the Uighurs, whose lord called himself the king of Shizi. The fifth is Tianzhu, formerly known as Body Poison, also known as Magadha, or Brahman. The sixth is Guashamen, the hometown of Dunhuang in the Han Dynasty. The seventh is Yizhou, the seat of Yiwu County in the Han Dynasty, and Xinjiang in later generations. The eighth is Xizhou, which was originally the land of Gaochang and the former king of the Han Dynasty. There is a city of Gaochang, which is named because of its high terrain and prosperous population.
Four out of ten in the south: the first is Cochin, the land of Ben Nanyue, also known as Annam. The second is Bo Ni, in the sea southwest of Kyoto. The third is Whisk, also known as Daqin, in the north of the West Sea. The fourth is Zhuyuan, which is in the south of Guangzhou, and travels about 400,000 miles by water before arriving in Guangzhou. The fifth is Chenla, which was originally a vassal state of Funan in the sea. The sixth is the Great Eclipse, which was originally another species of Persia, in the west of the Persian kingdom. The people there had deep eyes and black all over their bodies, probably because the sun was too hot. The seventh is Champa, in the north of Chenla. The eighth is the Three Buddhas, probably a branch of the Nanban, adjacent to the Champang. The ninth is Java, in the north of the Great Eclipse. The tenth is Danliumei, in Jinlasi. The eleventh is Dharali, from the land of the Southern Barbarians. The twelfth is the layer of Tan, which extends to the sea in the east, Huluwei in the west, Xia Betan in the south, and Liji in the north. The thirteenth is not to patrol, and the boat sails the sea for twenty days and nights before reaching the layer. The fourteenth is Yu Luhe, and the land is on the south side of the sea.
There are also five southwestern fans, Luo, Long, Fang, Zhang, Shi, and the five surnames, which were originally the original land of Qike County in the Han Dynasty. There are also ethnic minorities such as Jinghu Road Xidong and Qiongbu Li and Ya.
There was the Khitan in the north, which was originally a slave of the Huns. They were subordinate to the Privy Council, and the courtesies used by the court to treat people from afar were all recorded and handed over to the relevant yamen. And the tribute paid by the various Tibetan countries, except for the hostile Liao State, this is not a matter of one or two years.
Lu Chengqi attaches great importance to diplomacy and thinks that the foreign policy of the previous Dashun Dynasty is too stupid. It also provides food and play, and even has generous gifts when returning to China. And these Tibetan countries, however, will never help when Dashun is in crisis. It is equivalent to using money to support a group of people who eat white food, which is of no use at all.
Lu Chengqi had already issued a holy decree to change the original rules of the Tibetan Kingdom coming to the court. The museum ticket is still very useful, and it will continue to provide free accommodation and food. But if you want a rich return gift, there is no more, Lu Chengqi clearly stipulates that the return gift cannot exceed ten yuan, if it is too much, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will pay in advance with their own purses.
Where would an official of the Ministry of Rites do such a thankless task? The treasury only pays ten dollars, and they will never pay it themselves. Goryeo had already suffered before, and this matter gradually spread, so the previous grand occasion of the coming of various countries to the court gradually declined.
Lu Chengqi's purpose is to ask these officials of the Ministry of Rites, who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the civil and military officials of Dashun to see clearly what kind of attitude these unprofitable and unprofitable Fan countries treat Dashun.
Seeing such a chilling fact, all the civil and military officials of Dashun acquiesced to Lu Chengqi's doing. This also made the people of Dashun, who had a little cognition, see clearly that the previous groveling vassal states were all white-eyed wolves, and if they had no interests, they would never come to pay tribute again.
Except, of course, for some countries that still have to trade with Dashun. The fleets of sea countries such as Dashi and Japan enter the harbor of Dashun every month.
Lu Chengqi was very satisfied with the foreign policy he formulated, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, these white-eyed wolves, when Dashun is strong, it will be difficult for you to come to the DPRK again! When the time comes, just find an excuse to crush the past, and you will be able to expand your territory again!
At this time, the Khitan envoy must have fulfilled the treaty. Lu Chengqi issued a holy decree to let the officials of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites entertain them well, and only after counting the cattle and sheep can they release them.
After Lu Chengqi dealt with this matter, his attention was not on this side. At present, the contradictions at home are higher than those abroad, and the most urgent task at the moment is to properly handle the contradictions at home. With a three-year buffer period, what kind of strength will Dashun reach? After dealing with these bandits, the next step is to improve the law. It seems that he is going to start preparing, I don't know how Su Shi is doing in the Criminal Department? It's been almost half a year, and it seems that his official position can also be promoted by one level, don't go too far, just promote half a grade. Su Shi is a talent, but he still needs to hone it......
When Lu Chengqi was looking forward to the future, the chamberlain came to report again, saying that the Goryeo envoy Cui Jie'an asked to see him. Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "Okay, this time you have to teach these sticks who don't know the height of the sky, Dashun can be provoked by you?" ”
Immediately said: "Announce his audience!" ”
After the chamberlain went out, the thoughts in Lu Chengqi's heart spun rapidly, thinking about how to grab the maximum benefits. He didn't know that he was becoming more and more like a politician, full of pretentious gestures and calculations in his heart, and only cared about the maximum benefits he could get. But he is also an unqualified politician, because he is not very perfect, and many of his performances are very clumsy. There are many things, and you can't do anything to achieve your goals, which should be Lu Chengqi's weakness. (To be continued.) )
