"That's right, I am the heir of the Turkic orthodoxy, and I should be the Khan of the Turks. And I am the sworn brother of the Tang Emperor, and I have a very good relationship with the Tang Emperor, and I should be the heir of the Turkic orthodoxy. This tea should be traded by me, and I will trade with Datang in the future. In the future, Datang will hand over this tea to me, and I will preside over the collection of materials with various tribes, and then trade with Datang. Tuli said.

"Crazy, huh?" Tang Jian exclaimed.

What Tang Jian didn't expect suddenly happened, this Tuli actually wanted to snatch the right to this transaction directly, which was simply incredible. According to Tang Jian's interests, even if there are internal contradictions between a country or a group, they are bound to be unanimous with the outside world. For example, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng certainly had contradictions back then, although they both wanted to kill each other. But if there are foreign enemies that threaten Datang, they will also suppress the contradictions, and then unite with the outside world. There are many such situations, and when the time comes to face foreign enemies, not only can we not expose our own internal contradictions, but we must take the initiative to pretend to be united and fight against foreign enemies together.

But Tuli actually directly snatched the right to this transaction, and directly wanted to turn against Jieli. Isn't that stupid? Doesn't this make Shi Bufan see their contradictions, and even take advantage of the opportunity? What's more, Tuli is so "unwise" that he actually snatched this transaction right in front of him, didn't he fall out at a critical time, so he gave the enemy a chance? Therefore, this is completely inconsistent with the principle of normal diplomatic negotiations, and he actually fell out with himself first.

"Turki, I am the Khan, why do you trade with the Tang people on behalf of our Turks?" Jieli was really angry, even angry.

But the Turks also continued: "I replace our Turks and trade with the Tang Dynasty, what's not to do?" Am I not the Khan of the Turks? Also, I am the heir to Turkic orthodoxy. As long as I can obtain this power to trade tea, then I will definitely distribute it fairly among the tribes, and then let them all have access to tea. ”

Tu Li directly said to the stubborn thinking force next to Jieli: "Stubborn thinking power, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely give you more tea then." ”

Jieli looked at the stubbornness around him viciously, and then his face turned dark. If it is under normal circumstances, the stubborn thinking force should take the initiative to express loyalty to Jieli, but in front of this tea, the stubborn thinking force hesitates. But once he hesitates, it will cause Jieli's jealousy, so he is in trouble this time.

Jieli hurriedly said: "I am the same, if anyone is loyal to me, then I will not be stingy with rewards." I will give any tea. ”

The Turkic nobles present looked at each other one by one, and then they all had their own small abacus in their hearts. They looked at this Jieli and Tuli, and then they were all thinking in their hearts that they could get the benefits of Oh Shao this time.

Tang Jian felt incredible, this would have such a result, and they themselves would have to fight internally? A small tea leaf can make the Turks turn their faces, it's just too ......

"Shi Bufan, this sudden profit, how could he turn his face? For the sake of a tea, is it worth it? Tang Jian asked.

Shi Bufan immediately replied in a low voice: "Tang Shangshu, this is very worthwhile, there are great benefits here." Don't look at it as just a trading right, but it means that it can become an important capital for hegemony on the grassland. ”

Shi Bufan knew that Tuli was fighting for the right to trade and Jieli did not hesitate to turn his face, not only was Tuli stupid, but he was very smart. Shi Bufan once heard the Mongolian colleague mention that in ancient China, the Ming Dynasty government often used trade power to carry out macroeconomic regulation and control of the major Mongolian tribes. If any tribe on the grassland is strong, then the Ming Dynasty court will definitely give the power of this trading market to a certain one. That tribe gained the power to trade with the Ming court, and they could get grain, steel, salt, tea, and so on from the Ming dynasty. These things are a fatal attraction to the herdsmen on the grassland, and if one of them does not gain these trading powers, then they can absorb a large number of herders and grow their tribes.

Even some small tribes also obtained the trading power of the Ming Dynasty, taking advantage of the advantage of being close to the Ming Dynasty, and directly relying on trading to obtain the opportunity to grow. This power is enough to forge a powerful tribe, and Tuli, who has always wanted to compete with Jieli for the position of Khan, will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Shi Bufan first signaled to Tuli, suggesting that he could monopolize this trading power. Shi Bufan's is actually a clear attempt to sow discord, and Shi Bufan understands that this is provoking Turkic internal relations, but so what? Tuli is not unaware that Shi Bufan is provoking, Tuli is actually very clear that Shi Bufan is provoking, but even if Shi Bufan is provoking and using him as a gunman, Tuli has no choice. As long as you can obtain the right to trade tea with Datang, it is almost equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the grassland. Once he controls the material lifeline of the grassland, as long as he cuts off the tribes close to Jieli, the other tribes will also take refuge in him.

In the grassland, if there is milk is a mother, if there is no benefit to following Jieli, they will betray without hesitation. As long as the materials given by Tuli are sufficient, and then let them live a rich life, they are naturally willing to support.

Tuli knew that Shi Bufan was provoking and using him as a gunman, but so what? The stakes are too great. Even if he is just used as a gun, as long as he can obtain this monopoly trading right, then this means that he will have more capital to compete for power with Jieli in the future. Under the temptation of Khan's position, Tuli chose to cooperate with Datang and turned his face with Jieli. If nothing else, just for this monopoly trading right, as long as this monopoly trading right is obtained, after obtaining the power of tea trading, it can almost quickly win over most of the tribes on the grassland, those who are shot down and want tea to listen to him, so that he can quickly divide and disintegrate Jieli.

"Tuli, what are you doing here? Do you want to rebel? Jieli said angrily.

However, Tuli was not to be outdone, saying, "I'm about to rebel, so what? I am the orthodox heir of the Turks, and I am here to trade with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Turks, why not? You are just a usurper who has usurped the position of my Turkic Khan, why do you represent our Turks? ”

"Everybody copy the guy for me, slaughter this Tuli for me!" Jieli shouted.

However, those Turkic nobles remained motionless, because the current situation was interesting, and the Turks almost fought with Jieli for a trading right. They also all know that Shi Bufan is sowing discord, but even if they know that it is sowing discord, Shi Bufan just took out a trading right, but he forced Jieli and Tuli to fight. Tuli knew he had the right to trade, and he was almost close to the Khan's position.

But Jieli also knows very well that once he loses the right to trade with Datang Tea, he will not be far from losing the position of Khan. So both sides have to fight for this right to trade, and this power to trade is almost equivalent to the position of Khan.

They can't conquer Chang'an and can't destroy the Tang Dynasty, so they can only choose to trade in such a situation. However, Shi Bufan deliberately took out this monopoly trading right, so that Tuli and Jieli knew very well that once they obtained this trading right, it meant that they were very close to the Khan's position. Once Jieli loses this monopoly trading right and lets Tuli gain it, he will also lose the position of Khan, so he has to fight hard with Tuli.

Tang Jian thought: "High, really high." This is what Hongguoguo told them, I want to provoke you, but they have to turn their faces. Shi Bufan's approach was directly grasping their dead end, even if they knew that Shi Bufan was provoking them, they had to fight. This is the real master, the real master! With this three-inch incorruptible tongue, it is enough to divide the Turks again. I finally believe it now, why did Pei Ju say that he was inferior to him. This kind of provocation is clearly provoked in front of the other party, but they have to fight hard for the benefit of throwing it out, which is simply terrible. ”

"Shi Bufan actually didn't pay anything, but just took out a so-called monopoly trade qualification, so that the Turks would also fight among themselves for this trade qualification. In fact, my Datang didn't pay anything, just a trading right, and they were all forced to almost fight. This is really turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, directly grabbing the throat of the Turks, this method is too powerful! ”

Don't look at Shi Bufan's method is so direct, but it is also very usefulThere are contradictions within the Turks, and it is a struggle for the position of the khan between Jieli and Turki, which is almost irreconcilable. Shi Bufan used this monopoly trading power, in fact, it was a combination of the political strategy of the later Ming Dynasty, as well as the international relations of later generations, as well as the political ideas of various countries' trade wars.

Shi Bufan profoundly realized that the current state and political system of the Turks is not so much a state as an alliance of states. The Turkic Khan seemed to be of high status and looked like an emperor. But in fact, the emperor of China is the lord of a country, but the Turkic khan is only a "secretary general of the United Nations". One is to order the world not to obey, while the other is just a coordinated person with little power.

Therefore, Shi Bufan directly took advantage of the contradictions in their internal national system and political system, and could even use their internal power struggles to throw out a meat and bone casually, and countless people came to grab it.

Although Shi Bufan's method is more direct, the Turkic state and political system have given them a dead hole, an uncontrollable dead end. They are not to be seen as a single state, but as a union of countless scattered states, at most a confederation, not even a federation. This kind of country is simply the best to provoke, and it is not so easy to provoke.

If Shi Bufan couldn't even deal with this kind of "confederation", then he, an LL.M. student in international relations, would really be hammered to death by those mentors! To deal with this kind of guy, there are simply not too many means, and there are many classic cases in later generations.

"Hmph, this Turkic people, this confederation system, is just rubbish. encountered benefits and rushed up, but once something went wrong, they were all dead friends and not poor people, so in later generations, almost no country would adopt the confederation system. The Confederacy could easily disintegrate, and this Turkic was on the verge of disintegration. The confederation system is a state that can only share wealth and nobility, but it cannot share weal and woe. Once the flesh and bones are limited, they will not hesitate to kick others away and snatch the flesh and bones. Next, as long as I fight well in their confederacy, which is already deeply rifted, then they will definitely be torn apart due to internal contradictions. At that time, it really didn't have to be easy for me to clean them up. Even if there is no war within them, then their rift is already obvious, and at that time, when our Tang Dynasty goes to attack the Turks, the Turks will not support this Jieli. Shi Bufan thought sinisterly.

"Jieli, Tuli, have you figured it out? Who exactly are the two trading on behalf of the Turks? After all, the Turks are such a big country, and they can't do without a leader. And who will be in charge of hosting, then I think we can have a good talk! If you can't solve this problem, then we won't be able to negotiate this deal! When the time comes, won't this tea be wasted? Moreover, I think we can have a good discussion, who will trade with us Datang on behalf of the Turks? Shi Bufan asked.

Jieli and Tuli are still fighting here, and neither of them is willing to give up the power of this single monopoly transaction, because this monopoly trading power not only represents huge economic interests, but also represents the interests of Turkic material distribution. In the Turks who have milk and mothers, if they give enough supplies, they are willing to help whoever they want. Therefore, neither Jieli nor Tuli will give up the power of this monopoly transaction.

"Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan, since you are all for this monopoly of trading power, it is not suitable. Although we in Datang admit that Tuli is orthodox, we don't want you to make a mess for this material trading power. If we let our friends fight, it will be our Datang's sin. So I propose that the Turkic tribes be free to trade with our Datang, what do you think? Shi Bufan said again.

"Ruthless, too ruthless, Shi Bufan is really too powerful." Tang Jian thought.
