Chapter 597: Messing Around
"If you want us to dispel the idea of attacking the Great Liang, we can also cede Xiliang for us to multiply, and we will be good with the Great Liang for a hundred years."
The third prince, Bach, is not ashamed.
Song Che really wanted to laugh, but he still held it in his heart, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Liangzhou is the only way to the Western Regions, you have already taken the Northern Liang, and you still want the Western Liang, you are too greedy, right?" β
"Greedy? Who isn't greedy? Aren't you Emperor Liang greedy? It's just that our own strength is insufficient," Bach added: "Moreover, in the spring of next year, our Hu State will recover the Western Regions, strengthen the governance of the Hexi Corridor, and promote trade and trade...... We can swallow this piece of fat without chewing it. β
Song Che snorted lightly, flicked his sleeves, turned sideways and said: "If this is just your country's political vision, then your country's vision is too short-sighted, Song doesn't want to say more, please let the Great Khan let me leave!" β
Timur pondered for a moment before asking, "How can Mr. Song, as a Liang man, have a political vision far beyond my Hu State?" β
Song Che said: "What is the difference between the Liang people, the Hu people, and the Dijon people? Isn't it all about competing for the world and being the king? β
"If you have any opinions, sir, you might as well say it bluntly." Timur asked.
Song Che turned around and asked first, "Doesn't the Great Khan feel that he still has one thing missing?" β
Timur said: "I am the king of the steppe, what can I lack?" β
Song Che said loudly: "The prince is just a prince, the emperor is the son of heaven, what you lack is the great unified dynasty of 'being ordered by the heavens, and living forever'!" β
Timur couldn't sit still, raised his body slightly, and said, "Sir, what do you mean...... Let Ben Khan be emperor? β
The three princes were all shocked but had different expressions.
"There are three reasons for this!"
Song Che slowly gestured out three fingers:
"First, the state of Hu is the most powerful state in the steppe, and the Great Khan leads various tribes, and has centralized power and is satisfied with the title of emperor;
Second, the Hu people and the Liang people come from different races and have different cultural customs, even if the Hu people finally occupy the Central Plains, they cannot make the Liang people submit, but it is better to unify the entire nomadic people and be the strongest king on horseback;
Third, the Great Khan has passed sixty years this year, and time waits for no one! β
The first and second reasons may not be important, but this third reason has hit Timur's heart, which overlord is not willing to be the emperor and become a person who will forever go down in history?
"Your Great Liang has always regarded himself as the Celestial Empire, and degraded us nomads to barbarians, but Mr. asked me to be the emperor, isn't it a blasphemy against your Celestial Empire?" Timur asked.
"It is in our own interest to make the Great Khan emperor," Song Che said.
"The Great Khan will not be crowned emperor just for the sake of fame, but to complete the unification of the north;
Nowadays, in the northern regime, in addition to Hu, there are also Xiqiang and Dijon, all of whom live by fishing, hunting and nomadism, and have the same habits;
As I just said, even if the Hu people can occupy the Central Plains, they will not be able to change the racial differences, on the contrary, it will deepen the contradictions between the two ethnic groups;
Therefore, Hu has a million soldiers, but it is not strong enough to annex the Central Plains, right?
Moreover, Song is very clear about the thoughts of you nomads, in fact, you do not want to rule the Central Plains Dynasty when you start a war, but to gain more benefits and wealth;
The reason why I am so sure is that I have seen from Dijon that, after the capture of Tonkin, they have repeatedly sent men to negotiate for land, gold and silver, and the name of the Great Liang as a vassal to them;
Including our Great Liang Dynasty, I don't dare to say that I want to rule your grassland - just imagine that since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, even if it controlled the Western Regions, the grassland, the northeast, and the northwest, it has never incorporated them into its own territory, but set up the capital protectorate, the feudal state, and let the Hu people govern the Hu and the Miao people govern the Miao, and the most fundamental reason is the word 'race';
It is difficult for people of different races, cultures, and habits to achieve unity in the era of imperial power. If the Great Khan wants to turn the 'Hu State' into the 'Hu Dynasty' and complete the unification of the steppes, he must give up attacking Daliang and attack Xiqiang and Dijon instead! β
"Father! What Mr. Song said is exactly what Erchen thinks in his heart! β
The eldest prince and sultan urgently said: "Now that all the departments of the grassland have belonged, and my Hu country has a million soldiers, the national strength is strong, and the land is broad, and the conditions for being called the emperor and the dynasty have already been met!" In addition, my father's birthday is about to be celebrated, and the leaders of all the tribes will be present at that time, which is a great opportunity! β
The person who most longed for the establishment of the Hu dynasty was not the Great Khan, but the Great Prince.
After Timur became emperor, the Sultan, as the eldest son, was a rightful prince.
Looking at the other two princes, although they are not the eldest sons, they are all ambitious. They all knew that their father was very old and would return in a few years.
These princes must have their own henchmen, and once Timur died, they would fight for power.
"All outside and disturb the inside" is Song Che's plan, if the Hu State is chaotic due to the regime, no matter how many millions of soldiers are vulnerable.
Yes, to put it mildly, Song Che just wants to be a "-stirring stick" and turn Hu Guo, a seemingly united, but actually loose pit upside down.
"The matter of saying that the emperor established the dynasty is too complicated, and Ben Khan should make a decision after consulting with the ministers, Mr. Song is very angry, and he is deeply pleased by Ben Khan, and he will reward three horses and ten cattle and sheep." Timur waved his hand.
Song Che bowed in thanks, turned around and exited the hall.
Outside the temple.
All the civil and military generals, with different eyes, stared at Song Che.
"You are a Liang man, but you let the Great Khan be the emperor, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Arhan grabbed Song Che's sleeve and asked sharply.
Song Che smiled and said: "Mr. Arhan, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, besides, I'm just proposing, the real decision has to be discussed between the ministers and the Great Khan before it can be decided." β
"If you dare to do anything to damage the Hu Kingdomβ"
"Mr. Arhan, in this huge grassland, apart from those slaves, I'm afraid I'm the only one who is a relatively free Liang person, right? What can I do to harm the Hu Kingdom? β
Song Che ripped off his sleeves and strode out of the palace.
All the ministers formed a wall, stopped him in front of the temple, and glared at him with fierce eyes.
"The Great Khan summons his ministers into the palace!"
Only then did all the Hu Chen disperse, bumped Song Che's shoulder, and walked towards the main hall.
"Fuck off! Liang people! Get out of the way! Chachai pushed Song Che to the ground.
It is indeed not easy to survive in a country of jackals, tigers and leopards.
After all the ministers entered the hall, Song Che slowly got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and smiled coldly: "It's really sad to mess around!" β
He flicked his sleeves and strode away.
