Chapter 286: Mutual Market

"The Khan's words are wrong, my Tang Dynasty is the country of the suzerain, how can I force the Turks to force this matter?"

But on the contrary, Li Hong's face showed a hint of a smile, and he said lightly.

After that, Wang Fusheng behind him took out a document from his sleeve with great eyes and sent it to Ashina Funian's table.

"The Turks are now bitter and cold, and the father is naturally benevolent and generous, so he allowed Er and others to repay the indemnity in New Year's coins, and specially allowed Er and others to convert all kinds of livestock, cattle, sheep, horses, cloth, and silk!

Even if there are Turkic tribes that are difficult to survive the winter, they can temporarily migrate to the steppe on the border, and the army of the Tang Dynasty will be responsible for protecting them and providing food for the winter! ”

This time, Li Hong's voice was very sincere, and no one who heard it would doubt his compassion and gentleness at the moment.

But it's a pity that Ashina Fu Nian is not an ordinary person, from the moment he saw Li Hong outside Chang'an City, he maintained a strong vigilance against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks believed in the great wolf god, so Ashina Funian always prided himself on having the patience and care of a wolf.

So he frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Because his intuition told him that this sentence should or should not be appropriate!

However, Ashina Fu Nian did not speak, which does not mean that Li Hong will stop there.

"What? Didn't the Khan just ask his father to grant mercy and mercy to the Turkic people? Now that the Turkic people are struggling to survive in the wind and snow, what is the Khan still hesitating about? ”

For some reason, Ashina Fu Nian always felt that Li Hong's smile was a little weird.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor is grateful for the gift, but ......"

After thinking about it, he still felt that something was wrong, and was about to say no, but he was interrupted in the middle of his words.

"Since I am grateful for my father's gift, I will be obedient to Hetai and don't cause trouble again! Okay, let's talk about the next one! ”

Li Hong's voice was very strong, and he couldn't allow Ashina Fu Nian to say one more word, making his face ugly for a moment.

But after all, the negotiations have just begun, so let's agree first......

Ashina kept a smile on his face, but he was a little helpless in his heart, paused, and continued to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, due to some unexpected reasons, His Majesty the Emperor closed the mutual market with my Turks, and now that the Turks have become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, do you ask His Majesty the Emperor to be merciful and let the Turkic people enjoy His Majesty's grace again......

The tone is very careful, even a little humble.

Let everyone who sees it feel a little pity for him!

This person, as the lord of the Turks, has fallen to such a state.

However, sighing and sighing, the right thing to do should not be delayed, so only a moment later, Yan Shansi stood up again and spoke.

"The matter of mutual markets, one is because the Turks implied a heart of disobedience, and the other is that the Turks have repeatedly robbed our Tang border, and Your Majesty can't bear it, so he will punish him a little!

Now that the Khan has asked for the opening of the mutual market, then dare to ask the Khan, can you guarantee that the Turkic tribes will no longer plunder my Tang people? ”

Xu is because of Ashina's attitude just now, Yan Shansi's tone is very calm at this moment, but his brows are slightly furrowed, it is obvious that this matter is very important.

Since he was in charge of this peace talks, Yan Shansi had naturally done a lot of homework before and had some understanding of the Turks.

Indeed, at the beginning, Li Zhi ordered the closure of the mutual market, because the Turks relied on their mobility and repeatedly plundered military and civilian finances, and even the women of the Tang Dynasty were regarded as hot trading items.

What's more, in several mutual markets, the Turks used direct robbery, and those robbed merchants appealed to the imperial court, but also to no avail.

Because it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to start a war with the Turks because of these "trivial things", Li Zhi repeatedly issued edicts to reprimand him, and he was also prevaricated by the Turks.

Because of the relationship between the emperor and the emperor, it is indeed difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control.

But you must know that Li Zhi has never been a bully!

Nominally, the Turkic tribes are numerous, and it is difficult to find the murderer.

Well, since you can't find the murderer, you don't have to keep trading!

After these incidents, Li Zhi simply closed the mutual market, and at the same time stationed troops on the Turkic border to guard it strictly.

I have to say that this policy is very effective, the Turks have too many necessities of life that are difficult to find, and they must rely on the Tang Dynasty.

Now, after the closure of the mutual market, it is difficult to meet the demand by smugglers alone.

As a result, the relationship between the two sides became more and more tense, and finally there was this battle of the Western Expedition!

In the final analysis, this matter is still because of the mutual market......

Therefore, the question raised by Yan Shansi is very realistic, if the safety of the mutual market cannot be guaranteed, and the various tribes of the Turks cannot be restrained, then there is no need to talk about the opening of the mutual market!

This was also what Li Hong had given him in advance......

"This ......"

Ashina's face was a little hesitant, and he spoke.

Yan Shangshu also knew that there were many Turkic tribes and it was difficult to control, and when the market was exchanged, the subordinates would send cavalry to protect them, and there would be no previous incidents.

However, the subordinates can promise to the Tang Dynasty that anyone who dares to plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or the Turks, will be killed!

If Datang captures these people, he doesn't have to return them to the Turks, just deal with them directly! ”

I have to say that Ashina Fu Nian is still very sincere, at least in Yan Shansi's opinion.

The situation of the Turks was different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and although the Khan was the co-ruler of the Turks, in fact Ashina Funian could not completely control all the tribes.

If some tribes act on their own, it will be difficult for him to control it.

He is telling the truth at this point, and Yan Shansi also knows it, but he is just ......

Yan Shansi glanced at Li Hong, he also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be satisfied with such a solution.

"First, the location of the mutual market is placed in the territory of Datang! All order was guaranteed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic cavalry was not allowed to enter! ”

Immediately after, Li Hong's voice sounded faintly.

Suddenly, Ashina's face changed.

"Your Highness, the Turkic nomadic steppe, if it is in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the road is far away......"

"Then every time there is a mutual market, it will be selected among the tribes close to Wolf Mountain, but the Khan will agree, and when the market is exchanged, all the Turkic cavalry will be withdrawn, and the scene will be fully responsible for the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Hong glanced at Ashina Fu Nian obliquely, and suddenly made the latter's heart freak.

In fact, this time, Ashina Fu Nian originally had such an idea, once the mutual market is opened, even if it is a covenant, it will be difficult to bind.

And in a short period of time, since Datang is open, it will not be closed.

In just a few years, the Turks will be able to recover!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Hong was so cautious, and he knew that if he let the Tang army enter the Turks, I'm afraid things would be in trouble!

"The Turkic lands should be defended by Turkic cavalry!"

At this moment, Ashdwin Fu on the side said in a muffled voice.

Xu was because of the lessons of the previous two times, this time his tone was much more careful, buzzing, but the meaning was clearly expressed.

And Ashina Fu Nian didn't speak, just looked at Li Hong quietly, obviously this was what he meant.

It's just that Li Hong didn't seem to hear it, and thought while looking at the documents in front of him......

Now in the Xuanzheng Palace, there should be results...... (To be continued.) )
