Chapter 828 - Mutual Gift (Calling for Monthly Passes)
If Da Shi is really a Turkic union, the countries of Central Asia are not a dish for them at all, and after the two males divide Central Asia, the next target may be the Tang Dynasty, or they may fight each other, but everything must be clear about any possible surname, if it is in case they target my Datang?
As soon as the Central Asian countries are wiped out, the buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Eclipse no longer exists, and now, Tubo is not as powerful as another space-time branch, and is being controlled by the Tang Dynasty everywhere, Songtsen Gampo's ambitious hero is not willing to be lonely, thinking of this, I almost broke out in a cold sweat, although my way of thinking is a little exaggerated, but it is not impossible.
It is because of this son, under the interference of the people who came out of the historical countercurrent, that Tubo's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty became more and more hostile, but now he is not an opponent, he can only grit his teeth and forbear, although the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Eastern Turks, but the power of the Western Turks is still strong, and they are also eyeing the Tang Dynasty, the enemy of life and death.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has solved all the opponents in the east, and the Tiele people, who originally occupied the hegemony of the grassland directly north of the Tang Dynasty, have also been crippled by the powerful Datang, and now they are obediently bowing their heads.
Naturally, the Western Turks and Tibetans knew that the Tang Empire, which had always valued military merits, was now even more powerful than at any time in history, and such a Tang Dynasty naturally did not allow the existence of hostile countries around it that constituted a threat to them. It is very likely that they will become the next target of Datang to eliminate.
As for the Great Eclipse, Wang Xuance is helping Persia and Central Asian countries to resist the Great Eclipse in the name of the Tang Dynasty, for this fanatical religious country that has been reckless in military force for decades, Datang's move is definitely not goodwill.
Although many thoughts were rapidly turning in my heart, there was no fluctuation in my expression, which had to be said to be due to the fact that I had been gradually trained to become more mature and stable by facing Uncle Li and a group of murderous old yin people for a long time.
The Persian prince looked at me, and I smiled and motioned for him to continue.
"So here, Xiao Wang is here to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of my Persia, and I am willing to be a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty and forever town the west for the Heavenly Khan! In addition, I hope that Datang can see that my Persia and other countries have always been deferential to Datang, never embarrassed Datang merchants, and have always maintained a rich trade relationship with Datang, so that I can send troops to help me Persia and defeat that shameless country composed of crazy infidels. The Persian prince whispered.
------------------------------------------------ "Of course, seeing the military might of the Celestial Empire today, it makes Xiao Wang more confident, if I can get the help of the Tang Empire, my Persia will definitely be able to repeat the glory of the old times." "The Persian prince also threw the sycophants over, but I don't want to eat him, who has always been clear about public and private.
I smiled at the Persian prince, and when the anticipation on this guy's face gradually turned into joy, I spat out one word in a deep voice: "Difficult!" The Persian prince blinked, and the old hen turned into a duck in an instant...... "But your lordship, you ......" The Persian prince didn't dare to be angry with me, but the joy of Fang Cai and the current loss were only a short moment, which made him quite uncomfortable.
"It's difficult, but the official didn't say that it was not feasible, it's just that it's really difficult to do it." My expression was quite complicated. This made the Persian prince squatting next to me even more worried, the Persian prince is not a fool: "My lord, but there is a glimmer of hope, please also ask my lord to act for me Persia, for the sake of the king, and for the interests of the Tang Empire." But if it happens, Xiao Wang and Persia will definitely not be stingy, and the kindness of the adults and the Tang Dynasty will be rewarded. ”
"Hehe, that's certain, come, His Royal Highness the Prince, please." Bang, it's another glass of wine, it's decided, if you don't finish eating this hump today, let's pull down our faces and pack it, this thing is really delicious. But the Persian prince, who sat next to me, was in a very troubled mood, and had no appetite, and wrung up a strange brow and pondered there.
At this time, the Persian general, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, came forward, pretended to toast me with a glass of wine, and then leaned his head into the Persian prince's ear, and whispered something, and the Persian prince's eyes lit up, and his spirit recovered a little. "Come on, come on, since adults like to eat this delicacy, let's eat more, hehe, in addition, Xiao Wang has some things, I don't know if adults can do a little favor?"
After chewing a piece of hump meat and swallowing it, I smiled at the Prince of Persia: "Although His Royal Highness the Prince can rest assured, although this official is not a very good figure in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty has entrusted the official to negotiate with His Royal Highness the Prince with full power. ”
"Xiao Wang can see the armaments and armor of the Tang Dynasty today, its excellence is no less than the magic weapon, Xiao Wang likes it very much, I want my Persia to fight for many years, the soldiers are blood-stained on the battlefield, if I can have such a fine armor as the Tang Dynasty, I can improve the combat power of my Persian soldiers, and I can be more sure to resist the enemy, but I don't know if your country can sell some to our country?" Perhaps it was just the blow that the Persian prince said very carefully.
"Well, hey, this problem has not been thought about by the official, selling, it should be able to be sold, but ......" I deliberately made a difficult face. When the Persian prince heard this, his eyes flashed red: "My lord, what is it? ”
"Although the means of making weapons in my Datang are known to the world, there has been no precedent since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, so the lower officials feel that this matter is afraid that it is necessary to consult His Majesty, in addition, the price is ......" I subconsciously rubbed my fingers, we are by no means accepting bribes, but subconsciously, unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the prince is really good at being a man, gritted his teeth, pulled out the blade that was not too long at his waist, and quietly stuffed it into my hand. My lord, you and I hit it off at first sight, Xiao Wang's knife was given by my father and the emperor, and it was smelted by my famous Persian craftsman, not under ten thousand gold, and the so-called sword was given to the hero, and I hope that the son will not give up. ”
"Oh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing, how can the lower officials accept such a heavy gift, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will take it back." I stared at the thumb-sized ruby on the hilt of my sword, and said it with righteous words. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the prince is also a person with a real surname, and threatened that if I don't accept it, I will look down on the friendship of him, the Persian prince, and in desperation, for the sake of the harmony between the Tang Dynasty and Persia, I can only grit my teeth and accept it.
Of course, in order not to bear the infamy of accepting bribes, I hesitated again and again, and finally took out a palm-sized mirror from my arms and respectfully handed it to the Persian prince.
------------------------------------------------“¥#%¥……—.” The Persian prince took over the treasure mirror, which was framed with beautiful sandalwood flowers and could illuminate people in detail, and was no less surprised than a gamer who had just sold a purple weapon at the auction house, and turned his face to find that he had picked up a higher-quality epic equipment, and excitedly shouted out the Persian vernacular.
If everyone turned their eyes to this side, the Persian prince seemed to understand the truth of wealth not being exposed, and quickly put the mirror into his arms, and raised a glass to invite everyone to drink. Mirrors, currently in Datang, are definitely a hot commodity, the mirrors produced by our Fang family, part of the supply of royal and family valves, and most of them have been carved up by the wealthy businessmen from all over the country in Datang, and those that have fallen into the hands of foreign businessmen are some of inferior quality, but the same price is a little unbelievable.
And the piece I gave to the Persian prince is also the best produced by our family, so in exchange for the short blade of the Persian prince, it is not possible to say who will not suffer, of course, according to my point of view, I feel that I have taken a big advantage, after all, the cost of the mirror will not exceed the usual, and the sandalwood strip on the side alone is only six hundred dollars. But looking at the expression of the Persian prince, it seems that he also thinks that he has taken advantage of it, well, this is better, and everyone is happy.
Well, this back and forth has made me much closer to the Persian prince, and the words and deeds of the Persian prince seem to be much more lively. I also patted my chest vigorously and agreed, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty to sell some Datang standard weapons, and of course, I also asked the Persian prince to draw up a list in case the supply and demand are not wrong.
However, after the Persian prince wrote it down, he still seemed to be dissatisfied: "My lord, I am very interested in those Rome of the Tang Dynasty, oh, the Qin ballista and those crossbows and other things, but unfortunately these things are too heavy and inconvenient to transport, so the little king wants to buy drawings and craftsmen with a lot of money, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”
