Han Shizu

Chapter 1742 Someone from Mobei
The Li Hotel at night is immersed in the splendor of lights. Over the years, through continuous renovations and additions, the scale of the Dahan Li Hotel has expanded and the facilities have become more complete. Of course, the conditions have become more luxurious and rich.

With the external expansion of the Han Dynasty, the spread of influence, the communication with the outside world has become more and more in-depth, and the various ethnic groups, countries, and forces who have traveled to Tokyo for pilgrimage have become more intensive and frequent.

When every guest came, he couldn't help being shocked by the prosperity of Tokyo and the power of the empire. Everyone who stayed in the Li Hotel felt ashamed, and there were not a few people who regarded the Li Hotel as the foreign envoy of the Han Palace.All kinds of people who came to the imperial capital often lingered and forgot to leave, and they were unwilling to leave until their money was exhausted.

What is a bit disrespectful to foreign envoys is that you have to pay to stay in a Li Hotel, and the price is expensive.This point has also been criticized by some officials in the court, who believe that it does not reflect the grandeur of the heavenly kingdom and the mind of accepting all rivers.

However, Emperor Liu said something during the chat, do you want me to learn from Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and use the power of Tokyo to let foreign envoys live for nothing?Emperor Liu has gone online, and his subordinates have nothing to do with him. There are many things they don't like, and this one is not bad.

Therefore, it happened in Tokyo that some envoys from small countries with cysts and shyness had to move out of the Li Hotel, and also saved public funds to support foreign affairs activities in Tokyo.Some foreign barbarians wandering in the streets of Tokyo may be the envoys of which country.

However, even so, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of foreigners to come to the DPRK. The higher the threshold of the big man, the more active they are.After learning about this situation, the envoys who followed were also wise. Apart from carrying tributes, the envoys also prepared enough living expenses.

Of course, the imperial court does not only enter and exit, and does not give rewards at all. The rewards of some local products, as well as some political, economic and military exchange policies, should be appropriately relaxed according to the situation. It is basically impossible for a big man to exchange a small gift for a big reward.

The foreign policy of the Han Dynasty has always been to emphasize actual profit over face. This has lasted for decades. You must know that as early as the first few years of Emperor Liu's ascension to the throne, Emperor Liu would even personally intervene in the face of foreign envoys. No matter how many gifts I received, there was nothing I could do. At that time, the national economy was difficult, and I was really afraid of poverty.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Li Hotel. A middle-aged man dressed in silk got out of the carriage, took out his purse, counted out [-] Wen coins quite seriously, and handed it to the driver.The coachman smiled immediately, and after thanking him, he didn't forget to solicit customers. The man also agreed, and agreed to pick him up at the same time tomorrow.

Accompanied by the clear sound of whipping, the coachman happily drove his "bus" away. The middle-aged man looked from behind and couldn't help but sigh.Since entering Tokyo, the frequency of his sighs has obviously increased.

This person was tall and tall, with a short beard, except for his rough skin, he looked quite dignified.Those who live in the Li Hotel are basically foreign envoys, and he is no exception, and his status is also quite special. He is the current Prime Minister of Mobei Khitan, Han Derang.

Since the death of Yeluxian and the civil strife caused by Yelubi, king of Yue, Mobei Khitan has been stable for many years.Inside, there are Yeluxiu and Han Derang, the capable veterans left over from Yeluxian's era, for assistance, and outside, there is the diversion of the big man's attention and the reduction of oppression. In this way, he has supported until now when the master is less suspicious.

And Han Derang, in the coup initiated by Yelubishe, insisted on the orthodox position of protecting the king, and Yeluxiu and other important clan officials supported Yelulongxu to the top, and also reaped fruitful political results, becoming the most important Khitan. Assistant Minister.Today, he is the Prime Minister of Khitan.

Since Khitan was driven to Mobei, its past system has also been completely disrupted and rebuilt. The North and South system was naturally abandoned, and the two sides were integrated to form a power structure in which the Prime Minister's Office governs the government and the Privy Council dominates the army.

And Hande let this Hanchen serve as the prime minister of Khitan, which is also very conspicuous.Although the Han family entered Khitan very early, it almost followed the rise and fall of the Khitan Empire that dominated Northeast Asia, and the Han family was accepted by the Khitan people, and was once the upper class of Khitan.

However, with the rise of the Han Dynasty, the collapse of the Liao Dynasty, and the complete disintegration of the Hu-Han rule of dividing the north and the south, the Khitan Hanchen forces like the Han family were in an embarrassing situation.After all, without the support of the low-level Han people, these Han officials would not have enough confidence, and their role would plummet. After all, the Khitan tribesmen really don't need Han officials to help manage them.

As the leader of the Hanchens in the Khitan regime in Mobei, even if they are close to the clan, the situation of the Han family is still embarrassing.In the past few years, Khitan's internal forces have launched more than one attack against Han Derang's position as prime minister, and even led to a coup.

Han Derang was able to keep this position, in addition to his own ability, firstly, he had Yeluxian's will to accompany him, and secondly, he had the support of important ministers like Yeluxiu, the privy envoy.

But even so, as the young Khitan lord Yelu Longxu got older, the internal contradictions in Mobei Khitan began to intensify, and some Khitan clans and nobles who opposed Han Derang began to emerge again.Han De made life even more difficult for the prime minister of Hanchen, and there were some fundamental contradictions, even if he had the talents of the world, it would be difficult to resolve them.

The days of Mobei Khitan these years are really sad, being imprisoned by big men in the barren and bitter cold places in Mobei, no matter in the south or northeast, those fertile pastures are all occupied by big men, and they can only Hold on to that barren land.

There are many internal conflicts, and the attitude towards the big man is also the same. Some people are afraid of being beaten, and would rather make friends with the big man or even surrender; some people gain huge profits in the private trade with the big man; At one time, he wanted to push the Khitan south to plunder resources and population from the Han.

In the midst of the commotion, the big man, the big dragon, was dormant, and he was no longer so tit-for-tat, and troubles arose again in the west and east.After the Great War between the Han and Liao Dynasties, seeing the weakening of the Khitan, the Naiman people in the west began to rise up, formed an alliance, and expanded eastward together. The land, cities, and pastures occupied by the Mobei chaos in the past have not been taken back by the Mobei Khitan.

However, the momentum of the Naiman people is growing day by day, especially not long ago, the Naiman tribes met and elected a khan, called Taiyang Khan.The most important thing is that this Taiyang Khan is not very old, Fang is 14 years old, but his identity is worth pondering, because according to the Naiman people, he is the son of Liu Min, the king of the Wei Dynasty.
A crude and crude Naiman regime is taking shape. It has found a co-owner that can be recognized by everyone, and it has begun to show its aggressiveness, but no matter how simple it is, it is more advanced than the scattered tribal alliances in the past. It is the Khitan regime that occupies most of Mobei.

The west is not peaceful, and the east is not peaceful. The Shiwei people from Wailing are like evil spirits who have broken out of hell. They are extremely vicious. constantly.

For this reason, Brother Yeluxiu personally led the acupuncture campaign. Although some results were achieved and many people from Shiwei were expelled, the trouble of Shiwei has never been resolved.After all, these barbaric Shiwei people dare to tease even the Anton region of the Han Dynasty, let alone you, a Khitan that has long since declined.

Facing internal and external troubles, Han Derang worked hard to maintain the Khitan regime, but gradually felt powerless.And the entire Mobei Khitan, from top to bottom, gave people an awkward feeling.

It is also because of this that the oppression of the Khitan in Mobei by the great Han has gradually eased. Apart from the reason for the cost of conquest, it is believed that the current situation in Mobei is barely acceptable.

This time, Han Derang personally went south to the great man, of course not like other Han officials, who wanted to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, bathe in the glory of the great man, and feel the grace of the emperor.In Khitan, no matter how embarrassing he is, he is still the prime minister who holds great power. When it comes to Dahan, what can he get, and what status can the Han family have.

The purpose of Han De's request to come here is also very clear, which is to seek to completely eliminate the old hatred with the big man and rebuild the good relationship.This is also the official contact between the old enemies between the Dahan and the Khitan since the Kaibao Northern Expedition. For Han Derang, this is also an ice-breaking journey.

In order to change the harsh environment in Khitan, and to solve the difficulties of livelihood in Mobei, after comprehensively considering opinions from all sides and suppressing those radicals, Han Derang finally went south to Tokyo in person for 22 years after opening the treasure here.
