Turkic smoke cloud 295 borers
How dare he!"
In the Hall of Xiande, Li Shimin rarely kicked the table, and the officials of the secret spy department below except for Tang Ping were silent.
It's been a long time, even the last time the Wang family rebelled, I didn't see Li Shimin get so angry.
After gasping for breath, Li Shimin finally calmed down and looked at the people from the Secret Spy Division with a cold face: "This time, you didn't startle the snake, right?"
"No, with the help of Ping Guogong, we infiltrated General Hou...... Later, the Hou Mansion found those blades in the secret vault, and then retreated, leaving no trace."
No wonder Li Shimin was so angry, "General Yun" explained everything that day.
He infiltrated Chang'an this time, and trading those leather goods was just a pretense, but what he really did was to cooperate with Hou Junji's personal soldiers, contact the Tubo people, and sell them some weapons sent by the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic Protectorate.
In order to show its strength, he also sent a small batch of equipment back to Chang'an, and hid it in the secret vault at home, waiting for the transaction after negotiating the price.
With the help of Tang Ping's drone, the spies of the secret spy department infiltrated Hou Junji's mansion, and then confirmed the existence of the equipment in the secret vault.
"Can we continue to trade with the Tibetans now?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, that Yunhua said that in addition to the sixth person who returned to Chang'an this time to be in charge of the transaction, there was also one of them, and the three of them were the core of the transaction, but how could these weapons be sold to the Tubo people?"
"If we don't sell it to the Tibetans, won't we let Hou Junji know that we have discovered his secret?"
Tang Ping watched from the side, he could understand why Li Shimin was so angry, the Wang family rebelled last time, but the Wang family and other families were originally the opposite of their Li Tang, and Li Tang had also been suppressing the family, so the Wang family rebelled, he could understand.
But Hou Junji was an important minister who followed him to conquer the world, and even gave him the position of the secretary of the military department.
This time, he was asked to go to the Turkic Protectorate, although there was some suppression, but on the other hand, it also showed Li Shimin's trust in him.
That Turk was the first vassal state to belong to the Tang Dynasty, if it wasn't for Li Shimin's henchman, how could he be relieved to hand it over to him?
Therefore, when he knew that Hou Junji actually secretly sold the sophisticated weapons sent by Chang'an to the enemy country of Tubo, he would be so angry.
Knowing this, it is estimated that only Tang Ping is not so surprised, after all, Hou Junji was also executed for rebellion in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in history.
"Second uncle, according to what Na Yunhua said, the two pro-soldiers of the Hou Mansion, Lao Liu, are not very compatible with people, so if we can give a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of Lao Liu, I think their transaction can still continue."
"Well, tell me!" For Tang Ping, Li Shimin is satisfied, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
Such a nephew can find the plague and treat it, and during this period, he can also discover Hou Junji's conspiracy, which is simply the deputy general sent by God to the Tang Dynasty.
"Aren't we locked down these two days? It is said that the sixth man is usually arrogant, so we might as well come to the door with great fanfare and tell the people of the Hou Mansion that this person was unruly when the city was closed, and he had a conflict with the city guards, and was temporarily detained."
"If we go to the door and warn them in the open, they won't be suspicious. And that he has always been at odds, and now that he knows that he is being detained, he must want to be greedy for merit, and he will definitely facilitate a follow-up deal with Yunhua."
"Then Yunhua is willing to cooperate?"
"He has now sold Hou Junji completely, and he can only take refuge in us and fight for a chance to live."
Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then this matter will be left to you, and the secret spy department will fully cooperate."
After that, all the people found to be infected with smallpox in Chang'an City were collectively treated, while the rest of the city began to be vaccinated against smallpox with the cooperation of the Tai Hospital and the chengguan.
At the back door of the Hou Mansion, after three long and one short bird calls, an old pawn quietly flashed out.
"The surname is Yun, where have you been these days?"
"Don't mention it!" Yun Hua pulled up his arm to reveal the scar on it: "I accidentally contracted the plague this time and was taken for treatment."
"No one found out who you are?"
"Nonsense, I'm going to find out, do you think I'm still out now?" Yunhua lowered his sleeves: "What about the sixth child?"
"Huh!" Hehe: "That idiot went to He Shilang's mansion to drink two cups of cat urine, and when he came back, he happened to meet the city guards who were locking down the city, he actually had a conflict with others, and now he is locked up, who knows when he will be released?"
"What then? Have I contacted the envoys of Tibet? How are we in business?"
Yun Hua said with some annoyance.
"What do you mean?" That Yunhua glanced at him: "This time, the adults asked the two of us to come back with you to do this business, and I can't call the shots if the sixth child is locked up, right?"
"Yes, if you can be the master, I will make a big profit this time, and say that after the deed is completed, I will share my money, but I can't lose a cent."
"Don't worry, my family is the most generous to his subordinates, since I promised you, I can't miss a child."
"Okay, then this afternoon, I'll bring someone to inspect the goods!"
The reason why the location of the transaction was chosen in Chang'an was because there was an entire Tang Dynasty between the Tibetans and the Turks.
The Tubo people did not believe in Hou Junji so much, this batch of weapons was very valuable, and they were also afraid that Hou Junji would cheat their money, so they only accepted to see the samples first, and then let Hou Junji send the goods to the vicinity of Tubo before trading.
The imperial court has always had an attitude of encouragement and support for the powerful people in the DPRK and China to do business, so Hou Junji took advantage of his position in the Turkic capital to buy some cowhides, sheepskins and other animal husbandry products from there and asked his own soldiers to send them back to Chang'an to sell, so no one would feel anything abnormal.
And he took advantage of this, and this time he transported back to Chang'an among the animal husbandry products, carrying a lot of weapons that the imperial court sent to the Turkic capital.
As for where the few weapons went, he was alone there in power, and he only used a large pen to say that it was usually worn out, as long as the number was not too huge, and it was unlikely that anyone would trouble him.
The life of Tubo in the past two years has been quite difficult, and the Tang Dynasty has almost cut off the iron trade with them, including iron ore.
Tubo is located on the plateau, and it was originally sparsely populated, and now almost all of Tubo is raising sheep and selling wool to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for various luxury goods in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, even the royal army of Songtsen Gampo began to gradually experience a shortage of weapons.
That's why the two sides hit it off.
In the afternoon of the same day, two sneaky Tubo people were taken by Yunhua to the back door of the Hou Mansion.
Then, under the leadership, they came to the secret vault.
"This is your Datang's new standard sword, right?" A Tibetan man had a gleam in his eyes and picked up a horizontal knife from the box.
This batch of horizontal knives are all made of stainless steel that Tang Ping bought from modern times.
The current Datang uses a lot of wind and water power in forging, and I don't know how much it is ahead of the surrounding countries in forging technology.
In the polishing, even a steam engine was used as the power for mechanical polishing, so each knife was shiny with oil.
"Isn't it face-saving?" These two Tubo people speak very well in the Tang Dynasty, and it can be seen that the two must be one with a red face and the other with a white face.
Yunhua didn't say anything, it was in a hurry, he had to finalize the business before the sixth child was released, and the credit would be his, as for Yunhua, hehe, let's talk about it if he can survive then.
"These horizontal knives can cut a hundred steels!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of steel from the side: "If you don't believe it, you can try it!"
"Knives aren't used to cut pieces of iron!"
The Tubo man said as he pulled out the scimitar on his body, causing Yun Huadu to take half a step back with a little vigilance.
"Huh!" A barely audible laugh of contempt, the meaning is self-evident.
Then the two Tibetans, one with the horizontal knife in the secret vault in his hand, and the other with the scimitar of their own people, slashed each other.
You must know that those who can be envoys in Chang'an will not be bad in Tubo, especially the Tubo scimitar brought today, which was built by the Tang Dynasty craftsmen in the past, and it is extremely sharp.
And the two of them also used some ingenuity, just to cut off this horizontal knife, and then use it to reduce the price.
However, the steel produced by modern steelmaking technology and the horizontal knife produced by semi-industrial manufacturing are completely sharper than the two imagined.
Even this standard weapon, after a burst of sparks, cut a big hole in their Tibetan scimitars.
On the other hand, although the blade of this horizontal knife can be clearly seen, the degree of damage is far less than that of the Tubo scimitar.
The two Tubo people were a little speechless for a while, is this the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty?
As envoys in Chang'an, they are the ones who know the changes in Datang the most.
The plague a few days ago also made the two of them secretly happy, knowing that the plague is almost an irresistible natural disaster now.
But I didn't expect that in a short period of time, Datang not only controlled the spread of the plague, but even the treatment and what kind of vaccine for immunization appeared.
Coupled with the current gap in weapons, the two even felt some despair.
Zampu and Lu Dongzan are already the most eloquent figures in Tibet in the past hundred years, but can they really defeat this increasingly powerful Tang Dynasty?
"How? Our swords are much stronger than yours, aren't they?"
With a smug face, these two Tubo people couldn't say anything if they were afraid that they would be frightened by the sharpness of this knife.
If this is the case, then he will have to sell it for a good price this time.
You must know that the higher the price of these weapons, the greater his credit to Hou Junji will naturally be.
"Tell me, Tang people, how much are you going to sell this batch of weapons?"
Now Tubo exports a large amount of wool to Datang, they are not short of money, what they lack is materials, fortunately, there are such moths in Datang!
