"Sir, it's serious. This matter concerns your future and mine. It's okay to work hard, but I can't stay here for too long. My team is still on the way back."
In order to hide it from everyone, Chieftain Abdul's team continued to move forward. After all, they had to rush back before the morning of the day after tomorrow, so Chieftain Abdul could only stay here for a short while to discuss some important issues.
In fact, Chieftain Adu had admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time. He had also hoped to pay tribute to Chang'an City in the past, but because other chieftains were unwilling, the matter was delayed. Later, it was revealed in his words, and Zhang Jiuli finally
Having established another connection with this guy, Chief Tusi Abdul kept asking Zhang Jiuli to help him submit a memorial. However, Zhang Jiuli suppressed the matter directly in order to maintain the local balance. Now it is considered a new beginning.
Talk about this matter.
"Please sit down, Mr. Chieftain, so we won't waste any time. I know that Mr. Chieftain wants to establish contact with the imperial court. Now is an excellent opportunity. I am not afraid to tell you directly. Everything I am doing here today is
In acting, I believe you may have seen some clues that the imperial court will not allow the chieftains to continue to exist, or that His Highness the Emperor Sun will not allow this system to continue to exist."
When Zhang Jiuli finished saying this, Chieftain Abdul was really frightened. He just admired the culture of Chang'an and wanted to establish a direct relationship with the Tang Dynasty. It was a real relationship, not
With this superficial tribute relationship, I didn’t expect that the imperial court would not allow the chieftain system to exist. If that were the case, then who would I be? Am I a commoner in the future? You must know that among the mountains around here, he is the most noble.
exist.
"Don't panic, Chieftain. What I'm saying is that the imperial court does not allow this kind of system to appear. But if you can be used by the imperial court, your influence in this area will not decline, and may even increase. Now you can only
If you manage the affairs within your own territory, if you are appreciated by His Highness the Emperor Taisun, then the land of several chieftains will be managed by you. Of course, it cannot be managed in the same way as before, it can only be managed in the way of the Tang Dynasty.
."
Seeing that Chieftain Adu was a little scared, even a little afraid, Zhang Jiuli slowly told the whole thing. Of course, there are gains and losses, and it is impossible for all the benefits to be yours.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jiuli remained silent and silently poured a cup of tea from the side, waiting for Tusi Abdul to think.
"If I am no longer the chieftain, in what capacity will I continue to manage this place?"
Chieftain Adu said a little strangely. Although he admired the Tang Dynasty very much, he felt a little uncomfortable in his words at this moment. After all, this is the position of chieftain that has been passed down for hundreds of years. How can he say that it will be gone in his generation?
?This is no different from being a prodigal.
"Your Excellency, Chieftain, should have heard about Tuyuhun and Gaochang Kingdom. The military and diplomatic matters are under the control of our Tang Dynasty. Most of the internal affairs are under your management, and some are under the management of our local officials. You
It is equivalent to the local governor of our Tang Dynasty. Of course, the area you rule will be much expanded, even including the current Nanzhao."
Zhang Jiuli's ability to deceive is still very strong. Nanzhao has already put it on the table before he has even written the horoscope. However, it is easier to win the other party's trust this way. It also seems that we have not announced it yet.
If I tell you my military secrets, doesn’t it make it seem like our two families are one family?
Nanzhao?
After Chieftain Adu heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. You must know that Nanzhao is still a relatively large political power in the south. Although it cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty, it also has a lot of land and troops. At least they
These toasts are incomparable. If you say you can win someone else's, then you can win someone else's?
"That's right, what I'm saying is that Nanzhao and the others are safe for the time being, but their land is in our Highness's plan. Since our Highness has this plan, they can only dedicate their land, otherwise there will be a disaster.
The flames of war usher in the flames of war in the Tang Dynasty."
When Zhang Jiuli said this, he himself felt very proud. Although he originally cooperated with the chieftains to do business, he was in a low-class position, and the other party only got along with him on the surface. In the real distribution of interests,
In terms of status and status, there was no way he could compare with these toast masters, but it was different now. He was truly on the advantageous side.
Chieftain Adu is different from other chieftains. The other chieftains are stuck in their ways and do not know much about the achievements of the Tang Dynasty. They only know generally. For example, they know that the Tang Dynasty occupied Tuyuhun and they also know that the Tang Dynasty occupied Goguryeo. But they
Do you know how it was occupied?
It was different here with Chieftain Adu. He sent out a large number of spies and exchanged information with the businessmen. When he learned that these countries were destroyed with lightning speed, he knew that the Tang Dynasty
The strength of the army. I heard about Nanzhao again today. In his eyes, it is still a powerful country. In Li Xiang's eyes, it is just a needed pawn. When I need you, you are mine. This is
The domineering spirit of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Excellency Chieftain, I'm not saying that our Highness is so domineering. You can think about this carefully. He can't even tolerate neighboring countries, not even countries like Western Turks and Xue Yantuo. He can tolerate internal affairs.
The chieftain system? Can an emperor with great talent and great strategy allow others to rule the world at his feet?"
When Zhang Jiuli said this, he carefully observed the expression on Chieftain Adu's face. After Zhang Jiuli finished speaking, Chieftain Adu did feel a little scared. It was indeed as Zhang Jiuli said, Li
People like this can expedition to Goguryeo and are not afraid of thousands of kilometers to the Western Regions. Now they chieftains are only so far away from Chang'an City. Do you want to continue? Is there such a thing in the world?
"There's no rush for this matter. You'd better hurry up and go back first. We still have a long way to go in the future. Just contact us slowly. In short, I can't wait for you too long. As long as you give me the news, I will
We will let the army leave your place first, but if you persist in your persistence, then we..."
Zhang Jiuli looked at the time and it was not too early...
