At sunset, Liu De had just returned from the palace when Wang Dao came over to report: "Your Highness, the South Vietnamese hostage Zhao Hu wants to see you..."
"Invite him in..." Liu De took off his sword, asked someone to change his clothes, and ordered.
This South Vietnamese hostage Zhao Hu is the grandson of Zhao Tuo, the current King of South Vietnam, and will also be the future King of South Vietnam.
In fact, at this time, Nanyue was not an independent kingdom at all. To be precise, this regime that took advantage of the collapse of Qin to stand on its own was actually very limited in its time to be truly independent.
That is to say, during the period between the collapse of the Qin State and the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the South Vietnamese King Zhao Tuo was very happy.
However, after Liu Bang ascended the throne in Chang'an and established the country, Zhao Tuo immediately came into the sight of the Han emperor. Liu Bang then sent Lu Jia as an envoy to go to South Vietnam to inform the South Vietnamese monarchs that the emperor of China had been established. Zhao Tuo immediately
He expressed his willingness to surrender and respect the Han emperor as his master.
In this way, one has the title of king and minister.
Don't underestimate the influence of the title of king and minister at this time.
Although Nanyue was a land conquered by China during the Qin Shi Huang period.
However, during the reign of Qin Shihuang, hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants immigrated to South Vietnam for thirteen years. These hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants not only brought the advanced production technology of the Central Plains, but also brought the culture of the Central Plains.
Almost all the ministers and generals of South Vietnam came from China.
The writing and systems of South Vietnam were basically copied from China.
Under this background, once Zhao Tuo surrendered, South Vietnam was tantamount to declaring that it recognized itself as a part of China. Although it still maintained de facto independence, in theory, it had actually been unified.
An obvious example is that Zhao Tuo sent envoys to pay tribute to Chang'an and accepted the canonization of the Han emperor.
If this were during the Zhou Dynasty, the status of Nanyue would probably be similar to that of King Wu Fuchai and King Goujian of Yue.
During the period of Empress Lu, Zhao Tuo took advantage of the internal strife in the Han family to become independent again. He also used the King of Changsha to alienate the relationship between him and Empress Lu, and sent troops to attack the Changsha Kingdom. Empress Lu sent Longlu Hou to attack Zhao Tuo. Longlu Hou Zhou Zao, the
Erhuo forced his troops to march in the summer, causing widespread heat stroke in the army he led, and they lost their combat effectiveness before they even started fighting.
When he finished repairing it, Empress Lu died, so she had no choice but to stop her troops.
Zhao Tuo had no one to care about him, so he maintained his prestige for several years, and he was bold enough to proclaim himself emperor.
However, when Liu De's grandfather Liu Heng came to Chang'an from Dai and was made emperor by the ministers, and Lu Jia was sent to South Vietnam again, Zhao Tuo gave in immediately. Not only did he take the imperial title, he also called himself a "barbarian"
Great Elder, he proclaimed himself emperor before because of boredom.
After Liu De's cheap father came to the throne, Zhao Tuo immediately expressed his congratulations and even sent his eldest grandson Zhao Hu to Chang'an as a hostage.
In Liu De's memory, from then on, the Nanyue Kingdom would send its prince to Chang'an as a hostage, without interruption until it was later destroyed.
Moreover, after Zhao Tuo's death, South Vietnam was actually tamed.
An obvious example is that in the fourth year of Jianyuan, another separatist regime, Fujian and Yue, sent troops to attack South Vietnam. The king of South Vietnam at that time was Zhao Hu, who was about to visit Liu De. The first thing he thought of was not to send troops to resist, but to immediately submit a letter.
The emperor of the Han family asked the emperor for a ruling.
The reason is that "Both Vietnam and Vietnam are vassals, so they are not good at raising troops to attack each other. Now that Fujian and Yue are raising troops to attack the ministers, the ministers dare not raise troops." Then "the emperor only issued an order."
Not to mention a vassal official, even a Han prince surnamed Liu could make such a statement!
Therefore, Liu Che happily sent two armies to help South Vietnam conquer Minyue.
Minyue was also a coward. Before the Han soldiers arrived, he killed the king who sent troops to attack South Vietnam without authorization, and presented his head to the Han emperor.
This is because Minyue and Dongou are actually even less independent kingdoms than Nanyue.
In fact, the first generation of Minyue King Wu Zhu and the first generation of Dongou King Yao were subordinates of the old Changsha King Wu Bin. They both made contributions in the process of Liu Bang establishing the Han Dynasty. Their thrones also came from Liu Bang's canonization.
.
Therefore, based on these facts, Liu De knew that the problems in Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou were actually political issues, not military issues. The people of Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou were not aliens like the Xiongnu, but
Chinese people with Chinese ancestry.
If he can be returned to his motherland without using weapons, Liu De will naturally not use weapons.
Liu De remembered very clearly that not long after Liu Che ascended the throne, the whole country of Dongou was annexed, and everyone was placed in the Jianghuai generation.
The subsequent war of conquest between Vietnam and Vietnam was not so much a conquest as a counter-insurgency. As soon as the Han emperor's army arrived, all the rebel rebels were beheaded. The soldiers and civilians of the two Vietnams and even the monarchs happily celebrated that they were finally not the emperor.
Barbarians, but Chinese.
Therefore, Liu De showed great sincerity to Zhao Hu who was about to visit him. For this reason, he specially changed into his military uniform and hat to receive Zhao Hu's visit in the most orthodox and formal way.
.
Not long after, a young man wearing dark clothes and a crown, led by Wang Dao, walked in, kowtowed to Liu De and said: "My humble minister, Zhao Hu, pays homage to your highness..."
Liu De chuckled after hearing this. Whether it was the way he spoke or the tone of his voice, Zhao Hu was no different from Sergeant Guan.
This is the credit of cheap daddy!
As soon as Zhao Hu arrived in Chang'an last year, Cheap Dad sent Zhao Wan, his servant, to teach him how to read and write. He also found a few gentle women to take care of Zhao Hu very considerately.
On one side is the silent brainwashing education of Confucianism, on the other side is the warm fragrance of nephrite of beauty.
In just over a year, Zhao Hu has been transformed from the inside out into an authentic Central Plains man.
"Please get up quickly!" Liu De stepped forward, helped Zhao Hu up with great kindness, took his hand and sat down, and asked intimately: "You are in Chang'an, but everything is going well?"
"Your Majesty, I am in Chang'an. Thanks to the kindness of the emperor and the careful teachings of all the teachers, everything goes very smoothly!" Zhao Hu replied respectfully. This was what he really meant. Compared with the poor and remote place in his hometown, Chang'an
It is undoubtedly paradise. If possible, Zhao Hu would really be reluctant to leave Chang'an.
However, there was no other way. The old grandfather had already sent an urgent letter from South Vietnam, asking him to return to the country. He said that he was not in good health and had a premonition that his death was coming. As a precaution, he asked him, the heir, to return to the country immediately.
Zhao Hu's grandfather Zhao Tuo is eighty-eight years old this year. An old man of this age may indeed die of illness at any time!
Therefore, Zhao Hu wrote to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, requesting to return to the country. The emperor has approved it, and he is about to return to the country.
He came to visit Liu De this time mainly because he wanted to meet the rumored future prince, so as to build a good relationship in the future.
