Volume 12 A Thousand Achievements Need a Hundred Battles Chapter 1139 Envoys
In fact, all the way over, the conversation with Fang Qian and Li Xuandao, the king of Wei, was not for nothing.
At least, Zhao Shi already knew that the envoy of the Tubo people came to Chang'an and was discussing with Daqin, the reconstruction of the Tubo royal court and the matter of being a vassal, nearly a thousand years later, this once brilliant empire, in the western frontier of the Han Empire, and the Han people could not hold on, finally chose to give in today's decline.
However, like the steppe tribes and the small countries in the jungles to the south, Tibet, which has its geographical advantages, also has hope for revival.
Because no matter how strong the Han people are, they will not be too interested in those desolate barren lands and jungles full of miasma swamps, at most, they will only set up some symbolic official positions, or symbolically collect tribute.
In many cases, the Han people only want the name of a suzerain, to flaunt great achievements, and as for some substantive things, they don't seem to value it much......
However, the current Great Qin has obviously not yet entered the stage of the coming dynasty of all states, and the whole of Great Qin has a natural hunger and thirst for meritorious deeds, and it is impossible to be as tolerant and generous as the states that want to be ministers like in the Tang Dynasty.
This is far from the imagination of those Tibetan nobles, so it is very difficult to discuss, the Tibetan people have two different ambivalences of awe and contempt for the Han people, which is caused by history, needless to say, in this regard, they are very similar to many northern Hu people.
And the Tibetans sent envoys this time, and they did not stop at wishful thinking, they wanted to take this opportunity to end the civil strife. He also wanted Daqin to help them rebuild the royal court......
Even. They also want. Daqin was able to follow the precedent of Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo and marry the Tibetan royal family.
In Li Xuandao's words, these Tibetan barbarians thought it was very beautiful, and they probably didn't know that Li Bandit, the king of Guiyi, had already passed on the book to the imperial court, and explained the current situation in Tubo clearly.
The Tibetan Heights are just around the corner. No matter how much these remaining guys jump, they are just barely breathing, even so, these Tibetan barbarians are still so greedy and self-aware, as long as those adults in the court are not old and confused, how can they agree to such a ridiculous request?
However, hearing this news, Zhao Shi just smiled, in order to make the Hu people a vassal, even if it was only a superficial submission, since ancient times. How many emperors' ministers agreed to seemingly absurd requests, in such a matter. It is possible that they have no IQ or stupidity......
In addition to Tibet, the envoys of the Western Xia people had also arrived, and they came a little late, but they finally came to the Great Qin Jingshi before Zhao Shi led the army to return south.
Unlike the arrogant Tubo people, the Xixia people clearly expressed their desire to pay tribute this time, and were even willing to abolish the military division of the right wing and assign Xiliang Mansion to Daqin......
Xiliangfu originally belonged to the Tubo territory, after the rise of the party people, captured Xiliangfu, expelled the Tubo people, set up the right side of the military division here, the power has been extended to Suzhou, Shazhou and other places, and finally belonged to their own, since then, whether Tubo, or Han people, can only look at the direction of Yumen sigh, the northwest rivers and mountains are gone.
Now the Western Xia is willing to give up a large area of territory, and to call the ministers as a mention, in order to let the Great Qin and the Western Xia stop fighting and have nothing to do.
Such a generous mention of yì really made many court ministers excited, so without spending a single soldier, they could sit on Xiliang and other states, such a thing was the first time since the founding of Great Qin.
Since then, there has been a lot of discussion in the court, and there are also different camps in the Chinese book, arguing over this matter......
However, in Zhao Shi's view, the Western Xia people are just dying and struggling, the momentum of the encirclement has been completed, the soldiers are waiting for the battle, and the battle of destroying the summer is just around the corner, no matter how generous the conditions, how can they be compared with the merit of destroying the country?
The best way is to imitate the things that the Tangut people once did, verbally promise the Tangut people's Tiyì, drag the envoy of the Tangut people in Chang'an, and after the preparations are completed next year, suddenly attack and destroy the Tangut in one fell swoop.
But in that case, Great Qin is not without losses, if you use an old saying, it is to lose trust with the princes, which is a great event in the eyes of the Han people......
Of course, it is indeed not a trivial matter, the Han people have the mentality of a big country, unlike the Hu people, a big country must first value credit and face, in order to make the world respect.
This is not just a verbal talk, nor is it a disease-free moan of a literati, let alone a religious statement, but the fundamental and spiritual creed of a great Han country.
This is not pedantic, but a kind of bearing, since ancient times, whether the Han people are strong or declining, they have adhered to such a concept in governing the country, which makes them seem very stubborn, and it does give rise to a lot of things that make people feel remorseful, but if there is no these, the Han people are not Han people......
Of course, such a conceptual thing is always the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, but in the current world, the Han people value credit the most, especially in the exchanges between countries, which can be described as a promise.
Of course, there are frequent means in private, trying to make the other party break their word and fatten, and occupy the name of righteousness and other means, which is another level of things......
People like Zhao Shi, many times, it is difficult to understand this kind of stubbornness, but he has stayed in this era long enough, and many times, he has moved closer to this era in thinking, so he also knows that it is almost impossible to give birth to such a thing.
Even then, it would make it easier for Great Qin to capture Western Xia, and the casualties would be much lower.
But after that, there is no need to mention the internal disputes of Great Qin, and the outside world will also put on the hat of a country of no faith for Great Qin, which will be a disaster for Great Qin's conquest of the Central Plains.
Many people who could have been subdued would fight to the death, and many cities that could have been obtained lightly would become the graves of the soldiers of the Qin army, which is the result of losing trust in the world, and the Han people value this, not only their own people, but even your enemies......
Now that he understands this, after returning to Chang'an, he has a lot to do, and he also believes that the important ministers in the Great Qin Dynasty have a long-term vision and will not be confused by this little interest in front of them.
And he now has that ability to influence the decisions of many people, especially today......
The envoys of the Tubo people are not idle, and the envoys of the Tangut people are also running, which makes Chang'an look very lively this winter, no matter what, this is a sign of the strength of Great Qin.
And from Fang Qian's mouth, Zhao Shi also knew that the envoys of the Kereh Department did not all leave Chang'an, and there were a few Mongols who stayed behind and occupied a room in the Lifan Yuan, as if they had the intention of staying in Chang'an for a long time, of course, nominally, they were still Mongolian envoys, and they had the mission of transmitting Daqin's edict on the Kereh Ministry to the Kereh Ministry.
In fact, this is the maturity of the envoy of the Kereh tribe, Kui Timur, who has a more keen eye and mind than the Buren, ......
He believed that in the powerful Daqin's Jingshi, there would be many things that could affect the pattern of the grassland here in the future, and if the Keree Ministry could know it first, it would make the Keree Ministry prepare early, in fact, what he left behind in Chang'an was some eyes and ears, and it looked very immature.
Because it was impossible for these Mongols to come into contact with the magnates in the Great Qin Dynasty who could really affect the situation, and because of the language barrier, they couldn't inquire about too much news, and the news they got was not even as important as a sentence that Dadar really heard at will.
But the impact of this seemingly unintentional move was far-reaching, a disguised acknowledgment of the Han regime by the Hu people, and the awe expressed in it was so strong.
Later, many of the Hu tribes who came to Jingshi followed the example of the Mongols, and not only left protons in Jingshi, but also left permanent manpower in the Lifan Yuan.
Many years later, the Great Qin Dynasty formed a large settlement area where the original Lifan Courtyard was located, and all kinds of aliens lived in it, which incidentally became one of the scenic spots in Chang'an......
At that time, the understanding and communication between Han and Hu were already difficult to hope for in the Tang Dynasty......
Without further ado, Zhao Shi returned to the Dingjun Marquis's Mansion, and there was no need to list all the jubilant scenes during the period.
Over the past few years, today's Dingjun Marquis Mansion has become one of the real wealthy families in Chang'an City, and the power of its owner has brought unimaginable changes to this mansion.
Which wealthy family, not decades, or even more than a hundred years of accumulation, but the Dingjun Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City, is one of the outliers, more than ten years, the owner of this mansion has a power that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in their lives, no matter how big the family, no matter how prominent the family background, in the face of such power, it is also bleak.
Such a person and his family, even if they live in a thatched hut, are enough to be called wealthy, because the word does not refer to the real house gateway in the first place......
When Zhao Shi returns here, it will definitely make everyone in Chang'an City look sideways, because this is the first time that the general has returned to Beijing to report on his work after the Chang'an Rebellion, and he will definitely go further on the eunuch journey.
Many people are speculating that the current Great Qin may be about to appear as the first Guogong......
(Asking for a monthly pass, the code finally came out, ten o'clock, it's not too late, and I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, Acao will work hard...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
