Chapter 1874 The king of the grassland? After all, it can't be done
When the topic between the two parties came to the items traded in the mutual market, such as war horses, animal sinews, furs, and raw and wrought iron materials that Qiyan and other tribes could provide, Xiao Tang also directly expressed his position: "How much does your tribe have? It depends on how much you charge, and the mutual trading market is set up twice a month. The laws are equivalent to the laws of Song and Liao mutual trade. As for tea, salt, grain, cloth, medicinal utensils and other commercial goods, your ministry can also do it according to needs. Please negotiate with the specialist beforehand."
I was very moved when I saw this. After all, all the tribes in the desert are in a single nomadic economic state, and there are too many living materials that they cannot produce. And other tribes are also like birds, and they conflict with each other. Looting is probably of no use. Even hundreds of years later, when the Ming Dynasty drove the Mongol tribes that had established a vast empire back to the desert, it was not uncommon for two groups of people to fight over an iron pot. Nowadays, During this period, the Mongol and Wei tribes could not get rid of their dependence on various handicraft products. Before Qiansheng, they had maintained a hostile attitude with the Jin Dynasty for most of the time. In addition to raising troops to invade and raid, Hebul Khan also faced suppression and sanctions from the Jin Dynasty. It cannot change the current situation of material scarcity.
But now the Emperor of Qi Dynasty spoke quickly and immediately finalized the open trade. This not only solved the livelihood problems of many ethnic groups, but also taught several tribes headed by Qiyan to benefit a lot from it and grow stronger in the future. The momentum will certainly be able to overwhelm the other tribes of the Mongol and Shiwei tribes in the desert who are still in a competitive relationship.
However, Xiao Tang quickly changed the subject, and then looked away, and said in a long voice: "But our country expelled the Jinlu, and the troops arrived in the desert. Although the people in Linhuang Mansion and other places were brought back to their hearts by the suppression, Among the Mengwu tribes and Wei tribes, there are still some little traitors who are out and about doing evil, killing my merchants and robbing my luggage. I also need to ask Yan and other tribes for their full assistance to find ways to rebel against the tribes and help each other in attack and defense in order to get rid of the enemy. "
When Duan Jingzhu translated Xiao Tang's words, Ba'ai's face suddenly froze, and Hu Tulu stood up suddenly, sneered twice, and said: "His Majesty the Emperor said, in the end, we still have to Is it okay to ask Qi Yan and other tribes to attack other tribes in the desert for you, while teaching our people to sacrifice their lives and bleed for you!?"
Xiao Tang squinted at Hu Tu and said, "What's wrong with this? Since Qiyan and other tribes also agree that they are willing to be our country's vassals, it is their duty to govern the local area and stop foreign enemies. How can they negotiate with each other? Can you directly teach your department to take advantage of it? What's more, if I want to set up a market for exchanges, I must call in Han merchants from within the country. Whether the routes along the way are smooth and comprehensive is also a top priority. Now the situation in the desert is uncertain. Originally, it was Mutual market and mutual benefit, who is willing to risk their lives to trade? If merchants are afraid and hesitate, even if the trade route is not cut off, mutual trading may not be able to ensure the goods that your department needs. In the long run, this pair of beggars will Is it an advantage or a disadvantage for the Yan and other tribes? There are other tribes in the Mongol clan and Wei Shang who have disloyal intentions. They are not provoking provocations and becoming enemies of our court, nor are they trying to interrupt the livelihood of the tribesmen under the rule of Hebul Khan? "
"Well......"
Hutula, whose face was originally full of dissatisfaction, choked up when he heard Duan Jingzhu interpreting. Now, although he is a famous warrior among Qiyan and other tribes, he is still young and energetic, and he has been on the grassland. The people who live in the desert have developed the habit of being fierce and unruly, so after hearing Xiao Tang's words, it seems that they want to teach his tribe to be helpers and minions in eliminating the enemies of the Mongols, Wei and other Qi Dynasties. Hu Tu La's first reaction was He was about to get angry. But when he heard Xiao Tang's words, he came back and suddenly thought about it. He couldn't help but secretly thought... this is also the reason...
And I Bahai took a breath, bowed slightly to Xiao Tang and said: "Your Majesty's request is indeed reasonable. As for the merchants' luggage being plundered by the desert tribesmen, our tribe has heard about it, but they just want to mobilize us. It is very important for the people of the tribe to join His Majesty’s army to conquer other tribes. I must also tell Hebul Khan clearly... According to the previous situation, Hebul Khan must be willing to meet and negotiate with His Majesty. As for other matters ...But I will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory answer."
Xiaotang couldn't help but sneer after hearing what I Bahai said. He led an army to Linhuang Mansion. Now that the desert is about to change hands, all the Mengwu and Wei tribes will definitely pay close attention to what's going on here, both covertly and covertly. And begging Yanbu Hebule must have more or less found some news. Listening to what I said, it seems that they also want to suppress or win over the Mengwu Shiwei tribes in the Qi Dynasty. They did some tricks in the process, so as to make a profit from it. As for what kind of medicine those guys were selling in the gourd, it seemed that they would have to wait until they negotiated with Hebule in person before they could find out.
At least this meeting that Qi Yan and other tribes sent to negotiate with Xiao Tang ended successfully. I, Ba Hai, suddenly asked Xiao Tang to resign and led his entourage back to report to Hebule and wait for both parties. After agreeing on the date and place of the meeting, Xiao Tang and Hebule would personally lead the meeting and negotiate in person.
However, Xiao Jiasui, a close adviser like Xiao Tang who planned carefully and was very thoughtful in the long term, not only optimistically considered the development of the future situation in order to take precautions, he looked worried and couldn't help but admonish Xiao Tang: " Although it is now appropriate to be gentle and appease these Mongolian Ushiwei tribes who have no intention of being enemies of our dynasty, does your Majesty intend to support Hebule as the master of the grassland and use him to appease other tribes in the Mongolian Ushiwei? But according to my opinion, since Qiyan and other tribes have always refused to accept the rule of the Jin people and have repeatedly raised troops to harass them, they are nominally willing to submit to our dynasty. When he surrendered, he rebelled and invaded the border. In the desert, the king of Khan claimed his own power. This power may be small or large, but he was afraid that Hebule would use your majesty to subdue other tribes. When it became a trend, even if Hebule does not want to cause trouble, and his descendants from the Qiyan tribe may have different intentions and become a serious problem for our dynasty..."
After listening to Xiao Jiasui's advice, Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said in a long voice: "Who said I would support Hebule to become the master of the grassland again? By setting up a wide range of exchange markets, our government can also get what it needs, but It is crucial to all the Mongol and Wei tribes. Now even if Hebule has established himself as a khan, there are only a few tribes who obey his orders, and the Mongol and Wei tribes are complex, and they are in opposition, competition and even competition. There are also many hostile clans. Now in this vast desert grassland, it is not just the Hebuleboerjijin clan who has the final say. I can promise him benefits, but I can't promise them to other clan leaders?
For tribes in the desert, of course, we cannot just be gentle and appease them. We must first give them sweetness, and the bustling world is all for gain; I can't get rid of my dependence on our government. At that time, it is far better to control the situation according to the situation than to just use force to deter, and mobilize these tribes to be willing to listen to my arrangements... At that time, I will briefly inspect the military strength, patrol the border defense, and compile and review the movements of each department. ...I probably have an idea in my mind. I just need to discuss it with my brothers again. I can't just use the policy of restraint to establish and control the Mongol Shiwei tribe, even if it doesn't work... Even if his descendants have the ambition to become kings in the grassland, they will inevitably invade and conquer most of the Mongolian and Wei tribes to strengthen their momentum. However, if they act rashly at that time, they will end the livelihood of other tribes, and they will be able to conquer and recruit them. How many troops are willing to surrender?"
