Chapter 1877 Cooperation and alliance, because we have a common enemy
Thick green weeds gathered into a sea of turquoise, and felt carpets were spread inside and outside the felt-covered dome. Xiao Tang and Hebule, who were sitting on the chairman's chair, as well as their respective escort generals, and the heads of several other tribes were lined up.
Sitting cross-legged, there was a small table in front of him, with plates of crispy skin and delicious meat. The roasted mutton had been sliced and presented after being grilled for a long time. As for Xiao Tang, there were also various delicious and delicious dishes prepared by the accompanying waiters.
The delicious dishes were beautifully displayed, and the atmosphere at the venue seemed particularly harmonious.
And Hebule was not in a hurry to discuss important matters with Xiao Tang. He was as kind as when he treated the passengers passing by according to Mongolian customs, and enthusiastically said some words of respect to bring them closer, as if his idea was very simple.
, a straightforward, simple and ordinary grassland herdsman.
Xiao Tang also knew that later on, according to the Mongolian custom of toasting without finishing the toast, it was extremely rude. When the leaders of various departments, including Hebule, took turns to come to praise and toast, they would not refuse anyone who came. If someone offered me a toast, I would do it, and there was no reason for it.
He has the airs of an emperor with a rich body. After all, he often had a lot of fun with Lu Zhishen, Wu Song...especially Niu Gao and other brothers who drank and drank happily in their free time. It has been tempered for a long time, although the taste is slightly different.
It was sour but had a special milky aroma, and he drank bowl after bowl of kumiss, which was quite smooth. Xiao Tang was only slightly tipsy. What's more, there were many escort brothers around, and Hebu Le and the others
No matter how gracious the tribal leader is, there is no reason why Party B can persuade the CEO of Party A to drink heavily at the wine table. This is true in ancient and modern times...
But during this period, Xiao Tang was also paying attention to every move of Hebule, a leader who had already established a certain prestige in the desert. He had thin and long eyes, high cheekbones and a round face, which was very typical.
He has the characteristics of a Mongolian man, and his face can be said to be full of flesh, just like the kind that can calm people down when he is angry. He is not like the Wanyan Aguda whom Xiao Tang saw in the beginning, although he has a majestic appearance and temperament.
He looks like a master, but when he talks, you can also notice that he has a restrained attitude that is not angry and authoritative. But Hebule is not the same. He seems to be straightforward and reckless, but when he pushes the glass and the cup, Hebule is warm and polite, but
When he praised His Majesty the Emperor for his martial virtues and exorcism of the Jin people, making him worthy of being a heroic leader of the generation, Xiao Tang could also hear that there were some questions mixed with them that were full of purposeful temptations.
Let's understand it this way. When Xiao Tang looked at Na Hebu Lehan, he seemed to see a figure who looked like the black whirlwind Li Kui. Now he had a sincere attitude like a smiling tiger and Zhu Fu, and his eyes flickered from time to time.
Just like the way Wu Yong showed off his calculations...this feeling is a bit awkward.
Xiao Tang was trying to figure out Hebule's character, and Hebule was also trying to figure out Xiao Tang's thoughts.
Neither humble nor arrogant, Xiao Tang is indeed very approachable now as an emperor who defeated the newly defeated Jin Kingdom and quickly caused drastic changes in the grassland pattern after his power invaded the desert. And his army marched to the desert
After the boundary, the comfort measures conveyed in the negotiations with the Mongol and Wei tribes were not only different from the Jurchen Jin people who were rampant and taught us and other tribesmen to bow their knees and show loyalty to them. They first showed their sincerity and gave to the desert.
The various tribes in the Shang Dynasty, even the Khitan and Liao Dynasty did not provide generous and generous treatment to attract many tribes to surrender...
After all, Hebule was not a tribal leader who was forced to make a living for his people, but only wanted peace. He realized that when Xiao and Tang entered the desert, I am afraid that compared to the Liao and Jin dynasties, they had shown a more direct attitude toward the Mongol, Uzbek, and Wei tribes.
Hebule felt uneasy about his dominance, but the other party did not blatantly infringe upon any of the rights and interests of the forces he controlled. On the contrary, the Qi Dynasty took over the desert from the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and would immediately grant it to them.
Greater good…
Hebule was thinking deeply, so he pretended to be drunk and asked Xiao Tang: "Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor for your kindness, but please understand that I and my people live as nomads and fly freely in the sky.
The eagle, so when I learned that you promised to divide the fiefdom and grant it to other tribes on the grassland, my tribe was unwilling to be imprisoned in one land and water. Therefore, please forgive my tribe’s unwillingness to implement the alliance system promoted by Your Majesty.
I obey, if so, are you really still willing to allow your Majesty to trade with the tribes under my rule as previously agreed, and is he still willing to allow my tribesmen to move freely across the desert?"
Xiao Tang's bowl touched his lips slightly, and then he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth after listening to Hebule's tentative words, and then said loudly: "Of course, the reason why I implement the method of defending the alliance is also related to Jingping in border affairs. Likewise,
It can also enable the various tribes on the grassland who are forced to make a living to live in peace. Since this is the original intention, we do not want to start war rashly and join forces with the Khan. After all, you must also know that the tribes in the desert are mixed, and those who join because of temporary expediency will be long-term.
Later, it was inevitable that I would rebel from time to time and disturb the border. Originally, I wanted to show concern for the people's livelihood in the desert, but unfortunately, there was also a Mengwu family, Wei Zhongyouxiao, who committed adultery, killed my merchants, and robbed my luggage. This is a precedent. I will implement it in this way.
Promoting the pastoral origins of each tribe to teach each tribe to make a safe living is also based on the consideration of the stability of our country's border affairs.
But if it is enforced, won't it arouse the resistance of the Mongol and Wei tribes? This is counterproductive. Therefore, I will certainly treat the tribes who are willing to submit under the system of the Wei Alliance with leniency, but as for those who do not want to be defended
The alliance system entrusts each tribe to defend its territory, and the tribes who are still only willing to migrate in the desert in search of water and grass are not allowed to invade except the tribes that submit to the pastureland demarcated by the Qi Dynasty. Treating each other according to the previous national policy is the same as before, I
I will never inflict any harm or suppression on this, and I will definitely not interfere with the establishment of trade fairs and exchanges between me and Qiyan and other tribes. Tengger (Chinese version of Immortality, the highest deity in Mongolian original religious beliefs) is above me. If I violate this promise,
But if we step even half a step into the desert outside the Great Wall, our country and our people will never have peace and tranquility."
What I said is indeed not a lie. Now it is entirely up to you whether you want to join in or not. But now you cannot reverse this situation. In the future, the pattern of the desert will change, and even one day you will
Perhaps you can no longer control the changes in the hearts of the Qiyan and other tribes you rule...
During the originally harmonious and lively banquet, both sides also had followers and confidants who were paying attention to each other's every move. Here, Hebule asked Xiao Tang, but the boys around him suddenly tried to provoke and even followed Hebule personally.
The parent and son who came forward suddenly tried to stab him, and He Da'an and others looked at him. Xiao Tang replied loudly, and a group of confidants on one side also immediately moved towards Xiao Tang and He Bu Le.
Just stare and watch.
This was also a pain for Duan Jingzhu, who had been doing verbal interpretation by his side. Originally, the translator had already made the golden retriever a little thirsty, but when he finally told Hebule what Xiao Tang said,
, but saw that he was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere inside and outside the felt-covered dome house could not help but stagnate.
After a while, Hebulehu laughed loudly, and then he bowed to Xiao Tang and said: "Your Majesty's mind is as broad as the vast sky. And I have heard my fellow tribesman, An Ba'ai, talk about Mengwu before.
Your Majesty has already mentioned the matter of Shi Wei Zhong robbing the Celestial Dynasty's supplies... Since I and my people are willing to accept Your Majesty as our suzerain and conquer those clans that dare to offend the Celestial Dynasty... this matter,
