Chapter 1873 Boil the frog in warm water, the first step to beckon
According to the official history, after the death of Hebule, his younger brother succeeded him as King Khan. Because he was jealous of the Jin people, he was betrayed and captured by the Tatar tribe and dedicated to the Jin Dynasty to punish the nomadic rebels.
He was nailed to a wooden donkey for some of his crimes; as for Hutula, who seemed young but tall and burly, it is said that he was powerful, his voice was like thunder, and he could break people's waists like arrow shafts.
It is splashed on the body without being noticed, and the intuition is like being stung by insects... Although it is somewhat exaggerated when the descendants of Mongolia are praising these ancestors of Genghis Khan, it almost means the same when seeing it in person today.
In the official history, after Hebule died, important figures from the two tribes who succeeded him as Khan came to meet him. It seems that the attitude of the other party was sincere.
Xiao Tang was thinking in his mind, and then he said politely: "Since it is the envoy sent by Hebul Khan, you two, I must be thinking why I sent the envoy to negotiate with your ministry, and also came here personally, your Khan knew the intention of coming.
, what is his plan?"
I, the uncle and nephew suddenly looked at each other, and then they took their seats carelessly. When Xiao Tang asked, I immediately replied: "Emperor of Qi State, you sent us here
Several envoys have indeed explained the intention of your country, and this Ma Kuozhebie and his officials have also been well received by our Khan. After spending time together, they have also won the trust of our people. Yes, can we get along?
Lehan united several tribal alliances, originally intending to resist the oppression of the Jurchen Jin people, but there were too many tribesmen, and there was a lack of salt and rice, cloth, ironware, medicinal materials, clothes and coats... Life was indeed difficult, and Lehan and I
Although we are willing to believe in Zhebie, and we are indeed in urgent need of trade with your country, when we come here this time, we must confirm first: What do Qiyan and other tribes mean to you, the emperor? Are they like the Jin people?
So, do you threaten us and force us to accept your rule over Qiyan and other tribes, or are you willing to sign a treaty with us to protect each other?"
Although there are many Han people living in Linhuang Mansion nowadays, Mengwu Shiwei has been under the rule of Liao and Jin dynasties, and has been migrating across the desert for generations. In the past, the opportunities to communicate with the Han family were limited, and I am still a child.
Duan Jingzhu asked in Wei language of the Mengwu room. At this time, Duan Jingzhu immediately came to Xiao Tang's side to interpret. Xiao Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, saying goodbye? This is because this title is originally Meng.
In Chinese, it means sharp archer, and it is also an honorific title. Xiao Tangxin said that the famous general of the Mongolian Empire who was defended by the childhood hero Guo in the martial arts book was actually named Zhier Huo Aji, a member of the Mongolian Beesu tribe, from Tai.
Chiwu tribe, after surrendering to Genghis Khan, he was given the name Zhebie. Unexpectedly, when Ma Kuo was sent to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, Aguda valued him, and he was also called Yeli Mali. Now he is sent as an envoy to the Wei Qiyan tribe of the Mengwu room.
He also won the title of Zhebie.
Ma Kuo, a man who was good at diplomacy and especially able to establish relations with the Jurchens, Mengwu Shiwei and other tribes that emerged outside the Great Wall, did not live up to the great trust. In addition, Hu Yanqing assisted from the side, and there were Duan who targeted Yu Mengwu Shiwei.
Jingzhu was involved in the process, and he will probably be able to show off his talents when dealing with other tribes in the Mongolian tribe. However, considering the attitude of the Qiyan and other tribes led by Hebule towards the Jin Dynasty, the bottom line was involved.
Problem, of course the other party will never give in.
Xiao Tang had already expected that the other party would ask this question, so he said: "Since Hebule is respected and supported by several tribes, I will naturally treat him with the courtesy of a khan in the desert. Of course, the honorific status is the same as
The princes, vassals, and kings who are subject to our dynasty, and the throne of the Khan is passed down from generation to generation, are autonomous in all internal affairs, and are only required to pay tribute and do not have to pay taxes and service."
Frankly speaking, if possible, Xiao Tang would not be willing to accept the title of Khan of Qiyan Buhebule. Although his current strength is also limited, it is recognized that most of the political systems in North Asia in ancient times were given to him.
The power of the leader, even if it is only as a vassal king under the rule of the empire or the leader of a tribal alliance, there is no guarantee that one day he will not be able to become the king of the grassland.
But now that Hebule has proclaimed himself Khan, and regardless of whether the Jin Dynasty is strong or not, he doesn't care at all whether the emperor will send troops to suppress it, and has even shown a strong resistance. So Xiao Tang also knows very well.
Regardless of whether he admits Hebule's self-proclaimed status as Khan or not, the other party will still do his own thing, and the leader who flatly refuses and even teaches Hebule that he can only be a beggar is now showing his intention to suppress and control him.
So how Hebule treated the Jin Kingdom at the beginning, Xiao Tang also knew very well how he would treat the empire he established that newly entered the desert area. Everything will go back to the old story of the Jin people governing Mongolia in the official history.
On the way, Xiao Tang was worried that the drastic changes in the desert pattern that would follow the original trajectory might happen again.
What's more, at least within the past few decades, the scattered Mongol and Wei tribes have not been able to pose a fatal threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, leaving Xiao Tang to boil frogs in warm water to eliminate the hidden dangers of this ethnic group as a whole.
, and there is still plenty of time to win over most of the tribes to willingly submit to their rule. In addition to conquering by force, there are many other means.
At least for the moment, I Bahai, who was sent by Hebule to test the thoughts of the emperor of this newly powerful country, suddenly listened to Xiao Tang's words, and the tense expressions on their faces clearly softened.
Because the Liao Dynasty was one of the vast empires established by successive dynasties in the north, it had been at peace with the orthodox dynasty of the southern dynasty for the longest time. Even until the day of the country's fall, it did not launch a large-scale invasion war to the south.
The Khitan, the main ethnic group of the country, was originally adjacent to the Mongol and Uzbek tribes in the east. In terms of ethnic composition, during the Tang Dynasty, the Khitans, Xi people, and Shiwei tribes lived together.
There was a deep intersection between the tribes, and the Liao Dynasty not only governed the Khitans with the state, but also governed the Han people with the Han system. The policy of restraining the Mongol and Wei tribes in the desert was relatively loose. Therefore, the Liao Dynasty ruled the desert for more than two hundred years.
The Mongolian Plateau can basically be effectively controlled by the strategy of restraint. Hebule and other leaders of the Mongol and Wei tribes are also content with the status quo. They each lead their own tribes to live in the water and grass. There is no ambitious leader yet.
People tried to unify the desert and fought against the Liao Dynasty.
On the contrary, the Jurchens, who were born in the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast, belonged to the Mohe lineage and were bullied severely by the Liao Dynasty, destroyed the Liao Dynasty. They were all subordinates of the Liao Kingdom at first, but previously they presented themselves as conquerors to the Mengwu Shiwei.
Various tribes put pressure on them, and of course some tribes would yield and obey, while some tribes would remain as they were before. It was just a matter of changing the sect leader and emperor and just do their own thing. However, there were also some tribes like the Qiyan tribe Hebule who immediately acted against the Kingdom of Jin.
With the leader showing strong repulsion, the Jiao Jin people encountered strong resistance, and they also took advantage of the trend to break away from Jin's rule and establish their own territory.
However, Hebul could not have imagined that his great-grandson Temujin could unify all the grassland tribes and even establish a huge empire that was not limited to the Mongolian Plateau. Due to the limitations of the times, after all, people like Qin Shihuang were
The person who broke the concept of enfeoffed countries and unified China during the Zhou Dynasty and was called an emperor through the ages can only achieve immortality due to fate and the changes in the pattern of the times. According to the current status of the Mengwu and Wei tribes
In terms of the situation, although Hebule is a hero who can teach several surrounding tribes to surrender, but no matter how ambitious he is, he has not yet thought that he can unify all the tribes in the desert and establish an empire that can compete with the Liao, Jin...
.As a result, the dynasty that Xiao Tang came from was able to compete with other powerful empires. In addition, after previous negotiations with envoys such as Ma Kuo and Hu Yanqing, Xiao Tang was now willing to agree with Hebule and follow the trend and call himself King Khan. This was very important to Anba.
Child, suddenly trying to assassinate these two envoys who came to test the mind of the emperor of the empire whom they knew unknown was enough to dispel their previous concerns.
After a while, I Bahai suddenly stood up, and when he bowed to Xiao Tang, his movements were more sincere and respectful than before, and then he said: "Don't talk about the emperor of Qi Dynasty... Your Majesty is soaring in the sky.
A warrior like an eagle. You frightened the Jurchens and opened up a vast country. We believe in the sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor. According to the power given by Hebul Khan, we are willing to exchange details of trade, and...
When His Majesty has discussed it properly, he will also submit a review to Hebul Khan to determine the time and place for our talks..."
