Watt's heart rippled with sincere admiration but was full of all kinds of questions, the young man in front of him gave him too much stimulation, similar to his own age, but he was already a feudal official who guarded one side, and I heard that he still relied on his own one-handed and one-footed business to create his own business.

And look at himself, although he is the nephew of the great chief, and he and his brothers have been trying their best to win the favor of his uncle all day long, and a strong desire suddenly swelled in his heart that he would not go back, and just study, fight, and live under the man in front of him who he really admired, and make his own career, and perhaps this would be the real turning point in his fate.

Qin Dui didn't expect that the young man in front of him would have so many thoughts in his mind in this short moment, and he had already made up his mind to follow him, Qin Dui was just a little surprised that this young man had a suspicious look on his face since he came in, and looked himself up and down carefully, his expression was very complicated.

"Your name is Watt? Is it the nephew of Chief Wadeya? The two were silent for a long time, and finally Qin Duan broke the deadlock.

Watt nodded silently, still thinking about something.

"Listen to the censors, you want to see me? Can I help you? Qin Duan asked very gently.

"I want to stay under you, become your subordinate, and learn and work with you." With a decisive glint in his eyes, Watt resolutely said something that surprised Qin Dui.

"Don't be afraid, your negotiating envoy is almost there, and you and your companions will be able to go back soon." Qin Duan thought that he was afraid that he would take him as a hostage, so he said this.

Watt shook his head solemnly, "I don't want to go back now, I want to study under your tutelage for a while, please be sure to approve my request." ”

Qin Duan gently leaned back. His eyes narrowed, and he stared at the young man, seeing that his demeanor was not joking, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you have this idea?" ”

"I need a suitable environment to learn and be a strong person as my goal." Watt made no secret of his purpose.

Qin Dui's eyes were firmly fixed on Watt's face, and Watt looked very calm. did not avoid Qin Dui's gaze.

"The Huns are still my enemies......" Qin Duan glanced at the young man slowly, and said such a sentence.

"But the Huns are not eternal enemies, and perhaps they will still be your best allies and subordinates, and it's up to you and me." A wise smile appeared on Watt's face.

Qin Du chewed on this profound sentence repeatedly in his mind, but his body stood up without hesitation, walked to Watt's side, and patted Watt's shoulder, "Okay, very good." Stay with me, but when your messenger comes, you have to explain it to him, and you have to start from the very beginning. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Looking at Watt's vigorous back and disappearing into the doorway, Qin Du's mind was still spinning rapidly. It was a wise choice to keep him by your side. It's still a stupid decision, even Qin Dui himself can't be sure now.

This young man has an extraordinary temperament, and his words are also full of challenges, whether the Huns are a formidable enemy, a strong ally, or a loyal subordinate, depends on their own strength in the future.

In time. This man must have a good appearance, and it is too early to draw conclusions whether such a leader would be a blessing or a curse to his great cause. However, if your career is not a little challenging, wouldn't it be boring? Come to think of it. Qin Duan's face showed his usual confident smile again, or if he could cultivate an excellent leader for the Huns, at that time, it was unknown if the Huns would really become his subordinates or allies.

On April 25, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the negotiators led by the Hun negotiator Doni finally arrived in Tokugawa, and after a short rest, Doni asked that negotiations could start on the same day.

During the negotiations, the Hungarian side proposed that due to the financial constraints within the Hungarians this year, it would not be able to take out more silver taels to redeem these prisoners of war, and hoped that the ransom issue could be resolved through other means, and intentionally offered to exchange slaves for prisoners.

The financial constraints within the Huns had long been expected by Qin Du, and their offer to exchange slaves for captives was not in line with Qin Dui's wishes.

After listening to Liang Qiming and Li Xiangjun's reports, Qin Duan asked the two to enlighten the Huns more, and hinted that they could exchange land for prisoners.

Liang Qiming and Li Xiangjun expressed great puzzlement that Qin Duan wanted to acquire the land in the southeast corner of the Beihun and the northwestern part of Tokugawa, because although the land was not small, due to the lack of water sources, it was impossible to graze, and even the herdsmen of the Beihun tribe barely grazing there, and they did not know why Qin Duan became interested in it.

Qin explained to the two that the Huns' proposal to exchange slaves for prisoners of war was not actually suitable for us, and that due to the great improvement of the environment in all aspects of Tokugawa and the Northwestern Prefecture, and the influx of immigrants, we no longer needed these highly motivated laborers, and with the rapid development of the Tokugawa economy, agriculture gradually developed.

In contrast, animal husbandry is dwarfed, although Qin Duan has ordered the War Readiness Department to establish a military horse farm, according to the current form changes, it is far from keeping up with the needs of the army, which forces Qin Duan to consider finding a more reliable way to solve this problem.

Relying on the purchase of war horses and transportation horses is not only expensive, but also easy to be controlled by people, so Qin Duan is not inclined to this method, so he is left to develop animal husbandry by himself, and the grassland area in Tokugawa is not large, if you want to return farmland to grassland, you have to compete with agricultural production for land.

Although the small plot of land in the southeastern corner of the Hun territory is not very fertile, it is part of the Tengger grassland, which is connected to a small grassland in the northwestern part of Tokugawa, and the main reason why there are not many people grazing here is that there is no surface water, so people and animals cannot drink water.

He consulted Mr. Bucklov, a well-known scholar in Tokugawa Prefecture, who believed that the land was rich in groundwater, that wells could be drilled to find water, and that it was not too far from the nearby River Tuo, and that ditches could be dug to divert water, and that if this problem was solved, it would be a fine pasture comparable to the shores of Lake Sarah and the middle of the Issai River.

After listening to Qin Dui's explanation, Liang Qiming and Li Xiangjun both agreed with Qin Duan's opinion, Liang Qiming also believed that this move would also have a good propaganda effect, since the establishment of the Great Qin Empire for thousands of years, in addition to the establishment of the early empire has a glorious history of opening up territory, in the past two or three hundred years, the Tongguò War won land for the empire, which can be said to be unheard of.

Although the land area is not very large, and it is not a very fertile place, the historical significance is very far-reaching.

Liang Qiming analyzed that this move has advanced our territory to the Tengger grassland for nearly 100 kilometers, and the connection with the nomads in the eastern Tengger grassland will be closer, and it has also found a foothold for us in the Tengger grassland, which may play an unexpected role in the future.

When Liang Qiming and Li Xiangjun intentionally proposed this condition to the Belgian-Hungarian side, Doni, the chief negotiator of the Belgian-Hungarian people, did not even know the existence of this piece of land, and after he inquired in detail about the situation of the land with the other members of the delegation, he agreed to this condition almost without thinking.

The other members of the delegation, in order to prevent the Tokugawa side from renegotiating, even suggested that the negotiation agreement be signed immediately. The nomads were not very clear in the division of territory, and the dividing line of the sphere of influence often changed, in their eyes, that piece of land was purely a piece of chicken ribs, and even the herdsmen of their own tribe rarely visited, it can be said that the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, and now they can sell it for such a good price, of course, they can't ask for it.

The exact terms of the prisoner exchange agreement were quickly negotiated, and a formal agreement was signed between Doni and Liang Qiming. During this time, Qin Dutong Guòwatt also learned that Doni was an important figure in the upper echelons of the Hungarians, and that he was the brother-in-law of the Great Chief Wadeya, who was mainly responsible for internal affairs among the Humns.

After the agreement was signed, Qin Duan invited Doni to have a secret conversation, and Qin Du frankly explained to him that he did not want the Huns to decline because of this.

Qin Duan's frankness also won the favor of Doni, and the two exchanged views on bilateral relations and future development, although everyone fought for their own interests, but in many respects the two sides also had common interests, and finally everyone reached four secret agreements on ensuring the smooth communication lines in the north of the mainland, protecting the normal flow of caravans between the two sides, and the mutual non-aggression between the two sides (valid for five years), and our side to provide food, tea, medicinal materials and other strategic materials to the Hungarians at parity in the disaster year, Liang Qiming signed the four secret agreements with Doni on my behalf.

On May 3, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, Doni set out for the city of Barona with the terms of the agreement that both sides were very satisfied with and more than 150,000 captives.

Before leaving, Watt specifically approached Doni and expressed his desire to stay under Tokugawa Qin Dusk to study and live for a while, and to return at the right time.

After many careful inquiries, Doni confirmed that Watt did not stay voluntarily for other reasons, and expressed his great support for Watt's choice, and hoped that he could study hard here, and after returning in the future, he could lead his people to revitalize the Hun nation, after all, if a nation wants to develop, it must learn from the strengths of others.
