188. War blackmail

Not long after, the big traitor Zhao Deyan immediately came to the post house to visit Jingwen. They soon learned that Jingwen had been assassinated and had killed an Assassin. In this way, they, the Turks, have a great responsibility, because this is their territory! And if even foreign envoys can't be protected, then I'm afraid the problem is very strict.

Moreover, the most important thing in this trade was the negotiation of tea. Regarding tea, it was actually invented by Jingwen. If there is no Jingwen, the boss of roasted tea, then I am afraid there is no need to talk about it at all. And the Turkic nobles had also tasted the tea brought back by Ashinayun before, and they were all addicted to it. After they drank the tea, they suddenly felt countless times more comfortable, so they all hoped to continue to get tea. Now if Jingwen dies, it will not only be a matter of diplomatic relations, but also a great loss.

"Zhao Guoshi, you Turks are really good! That's how you entertain foreign envoys? I am in the dignified post house, and my safety is not guaranteed, so where can this Dingxiang City be safe? So, I'm going to go home right away and stop talking! Jingwen said.

Zhao Deyan immediately said: "What don't you talk about?" This is related to the diplomatic relations between our two countries, how can you not talk about it? Jingwen Imperial History, did you know that trade contributes to the peace of our two countries? So, you have to talk about the peace between our two countries. If you don't talk about it because of this little thing, then I'm afraid your sin is not small! ”

Zhao Deyan is talking about it, anyway, Zhao Deyan is on the line, and he actually wants to put the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries on Jingwen. And this is the threat, the so-called reversal of pressure to Jingwen. Zhao Deyan thinks that if he says so. Jingwen will give in. Anyway, Zhao Deyan still has an advantage in psychology, because the Turkic combat effectiveness is still very good. He believed that there should be no war to be fought in the Tang Dynasty.

But Zhao Deyan misestimated Jingwen, that is, Jingwen heard this. A wave of rage. Because of Zhao Deyan's behavior and Jingwen's knowledge of history, those Western powers often threatened Chinese diplomats with the influence of diplomatic issues or the start of war. This forced Chinese diplomats to give in. And now that Jingwen has actually experienced this kind of person, Jingwen is of course angry.

Those diplomats in the late Qing Dynasty were treated like this because of the country's weakness. But as a diplomat of a big country and a powerful country, he was still treated like this, which made Jingwen extremely angry. What's more, the Turks are not a country at all in his eyes, and in a few years, the Turks will perish. I was actually threatened by a country that I didn't look down on. This is obviously something that the uncle can bear, but the aunt can't.

Jingwen immediately found a silk cloth and wrote a document on it.

"Jingwen Yushi, what do you write?" Zhao Deyan asked.

"Declaration of war!" Jingwen said.

"Declaration of war, against whom?" Zhao Deyan asked.

Jingwen said: "Didn't Zhao Guoshi say it just now? If I don't think about the issue of diplomatic relations, will the Turks not make peace with our Datang? All right! Since we don't plan to make peace, then our Datang is going to declare war! We Datang don't need peace from others, even if we want peace, we have to use my iron and blood to fight a peaceful and prosperous world. And you Turks are not worthy to give us peace. This is an insult to us. Therefore, I will give you the declaration of war now, and our Datang and Turks have officially entered a state of war! ”

"What? Are you crazy? Zhao Deyan exclaimed.

Zhao Deyan obviously didn't expect that Jingwen would turn his face when he said it. He was about to declare war on the Turks. And what does it mean to declare war, it means that the border is completely unstable, and even a national war is about to break out if you are not careful. Once the national war. That's probably the end of the never-ending. Therefore, Zhao Deyan obviously didn't expect it. Jingwen actually shouted out that he wanted to declare war.

And now if there is a war, it will not be beneficial for either side. The Tang Dynasty was in a period of recuperation. And the Turks were also overwhelmed by civil strife, so it was impossible for both sides to fight. At this time, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks went to war, so I'm afraid that everyone would not have any good results.

"Hmph, if our two countries go to war, then our Turkic Iron Cavalry will definitely be able to attack Chang'an again!" Zhao Deyan said.

"You'll come if you have a kind! My Datang has a population of tens of millions, and your Turks are only one-tenth of our Datang. Our Datang can draw out an army of one million at any time, but even if all the men of your Turks are troops, they are only more than 200,000. Even, you are still in a state of anxiety, and you will come if you have a seed! When the time comes, see who can beat whom! My Datang will suffer again for a few years at most, but you Turks are about to really lose their country! Jingwen said.

Jingwen very unceremoniously pointed out the external strength of the Turks, because the Turks are now in internal discord. If you fight with the Tang Dynasty at this time, Xue Yantuo within the Turks, as well as Khitan and other ethnic groups will take the opportunity to rise. When the time comes, the Turks will be fighting on two fronts. Fighting on two fronts, even Jingwen, a layman in the war, knows very clearly that this is an act of seeking death. Fighting on two fronts, few can win. At that time, Datang will only concentrate on fighting the Turks, but the Turks will have to face the attack of Datang and the rebel forces that have been encouraged internally, which is obviously very dangerous.

Even, the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty was stronger than that of the Turks. The Turks don't look at them, they have many warriors, but their weapons and equipment are all imported from the Tang Dynasty, especially steel. And once the national war is fought, the limited steel resources of the Turks will be consumed, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome at that time. Therefore, in most cases, the nomads fought a strategic war of attrition with the Han people in the Central Plains, and it was often the Han people who were able to win.

"Hey, what do you want to do without declaring war? You're afraid you don't have that right, do you? The Tang Emperor will not grant you the right to declare war, you just want to blackmail something! Say, what exactly do you want? Zhao Deyan said.

Zhao Deyan is not a stupid person, of course he knows that Jingwen has no right to declare war, but he has to give up some benefits. Because Jingwen used war as blackmail, the Turks could not fail to give in. Now the shape shì is very unfavorable to the Turks, so Zhao Deyan also has to accept Jingwen's blackmail.

Jingwen smiled, obviously not expecting that he would also use war for blackmail one day. (To be continued......)
