Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 476 National Traditions Are Important

The allocation of the former land of the Xiongnu has already had results.

Qin State was worried that Xianbei would become the next Xiongnu, so he would not allocate the fertile grassland to them, so he chose Wuhuan who was closer to Qin State.

This is a political consideration as well as a future strategic deployment.

Xianbei people understand this truth, and they also see clearly the choice before them.

To maintain a good relationship with Qin State and strive for the best interests of negotiations, then become a vassal state of Qin State.

Obviously, this is related to the future of Xianbei.

Those Xianbei envoys could not be the masters, and Zhao Kun didn't urge them, just waited for them to contact the tribe and wait for the result of the discussion.

After half a month, the Xianbei envoy visited Zhao Kun again.

Zhao Kun knew that they had reached a conclusion through their discussion, so he met them at the Prince Qin's mansion.

These Xianbei envoys, even though Zhao Kun also gave them Central Plains costumes, they still wore grassland costumes.

On ethnic issues, Wuhuan is obviously much more open-minded.

Ever since Zhao Kun sent Wuhuan envoys the clothes from the Central Plains, Wubar and others have been wearing wide-sleeved gowns all day, walking on the streets of Xianyang, attracting attention.

In Ying Zheng's words, barbarians who have not been educated are still barbarians even if they are dressed in Central Plains costumes.

Therefore, Ubar and others put on Central Plains costumes and walked on the street, and the people of Xianyang always had an indescribable sense of weirdness.

But people feel good, and they have to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains by themselves.

The Xianbei envoy is different. He has been in Xianyang for so long, and he has never been ostentatious, and still maintains his own characteristics.

This made Zhao Kun a little bit emotional. It seems that the Xianbei people still have no intention of submitting to Daqin.

Since there is no intention of submitting to Daqin, the result is already doomed.

The road is at your feet, and the decision is yours.

Thinking of this, the Xianbei envoy had already arrived at Prince Qin's mansion.

Zhou Kui arranged them in the main hall, and Zhao Kun was waiting for them in the main hall.

When they saw Zhao Kun, they immediately saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Excuse me." Zhao Kun smiled and raised his hand to signal: "Please sit down."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

The Xianbei envoy expressed his thanks and took his seat after the close.

Although the Xianbei envoy was very polite, Zhao Kun already knew their choice, so he didn't ask for the answer immediately.

After all, after today, the Xianbei envoy will leave Xianyang, and there is no need for him to impose a tough policy on others.

After pondering for a while, he smiled and said, "The envoys have been in Xianyang for so long, have they ever visited Weishui?"

"We've heard of the beauty of the Wei River, but we haven't been there." Tuoba Lei shook his head and said sincerely.

Zhao Kun sighed, "That's a pity."

"Xianyang is very big, and we are not familiar with many places in the city, so we have only been to a few places near the post house."

Tuoba Lei thought for a while, and said: "But Xianyang is very prosperous, and it is indeed not comparable to our grassland tribes. We admire the Qin people for building such a beautiful capital."

"Just admiration, no envy?"

Zhao Kun asked a meaningful question, and then said leisurely: "Your envoys have been in Xianyang for so long, it seems that they are not very interested in the culture of the Central Plains. If I hadn't invited them to watch rugby before, they would not have gone. Bar."

Hearing this, Tuoba Lei frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, said: "The culture of the Central Plains is good, but you people from the Central Plains, our Xianbei people have their own culture, and this time I came to Xianyang to do business When it's over, we have to return to the Horde as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Zhao Kun raised his eyebrows: "What does your envoy mean, you Xianbei have your own culture, so you are not interested in the culture of the Central Plains?"

"Can't say that."

Tuoba Lei shook his head and looked at Zhao Kun: "We have many herdsmen in Xianbei. They enjoy the gifts of grasslands, mountains, rivers and lakes. No matter how good the culture of the Central Plains is, it is impossible for them to have it."

"is it?"

Zhao Kun joked with a smile: "You have a different view from Ubar!"

"The choices Ubar makes are beyond me."

Tuoba Lei continued: "We Xianbei people live on the grasslands and have our own traditions. If we give up our own traditions and choose Central Plains culture, then we are not Xianbei people."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun suddenly smiled.

When he and Ying Zheng were in Yunzhong County, they had already discussed the idea of ​​cultural invasion.

Since the northern tribes came to Xianyang, the Wuhuan people have become the target of cultural invasion.

Ubal is a pro-Qin faction and is committed to making Wuhuan a vassal state of Qin. This is the power of cultural invasion.

Whether the Xianbei people saw through this line of thinking, Zhao Kun didn't know.

However, it is obviously impossible to apply the idea of ​​cultural invasion to the Xianbei people.

"It turns out that the noble envoy has been in Xianyang for so long, and he doesn't want to see the beautiful scenery of the Wei River, and he doesn't want to wear Central Plains costumes, because of the tradition of Xianbei!"

"The tradition of a nation is very important."

"But it's just beautiful scenery and costumes. Why should it be so serious?" Zhao Kun was a little puzzled.

Tuoba Lei looked very serious: "If the Xianbei people like the Central Plains costumes, they will gradually give up their own costumes. Without their own costumes, the next generation will give up their own culture. This is very dangerous for Xianbei."

Zhao Kun said with a noncommittal smile: "Your envoy is too worried."

"The Qin State is very powerful. After defeating the Huns, it can be said that there are no enemies. Therefore, the culture of the Central Plains tends to be comfortable."

Tuoba Lei sighed: "But Xianbei is different. Xianbei is threatened by the Huns' rangers and other tribes. Xianbei dare not relax at all, so we have to train the most brave fighters!"

"The comfortable Central Plains culture is not suitable for Xianbei people."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun already understood what Tuoba Lei meant.

Obviously, Xianbei people are not not interested in the Central Plains culture, but their living environment does not allow them to be interested.

If the Xianbei people accepted the comfortable Central Plains culture, then they would build castles in the air that they longed for on the grassland.

And the bloody nature of grassland peoples to guard their homeland and not fear death will gradually disappear.

In this way, the warriors of other tribes will quickly eradicate them.

For Xianbei people, national culture has an important relationship with life and death.

In fact, it is not difficult for Zhao Kun to understand that the countries of later generations also have such problems. Many foreign cultures have changed the concepts of the people of later generations.

The bloodiness of the older generation is gradually lost.

He also didn't know whether those Chinese who worshiped foreigners and flattered foreigners would be eradicated when the country was in crisis.

I saw Tuoba Lei looking at the delicious food and wine in front of him, and said in a deep tone: "Xianbei is Xianbei, and Central Plains is Central Plains."

Zhao Kun understood Xianbei's situation, but he didn't show any sympathy.

After all, the farmer and the snake also apply to the relationship between countries.

After being silent for a while, Tuoba Lei suddenly remembered something, stood up, and saluted Zhao Kun: "Although Xianbei cannot accept the culture of the Central Plains, Xianbei is very envious of the strength of Qin State, and hopes to maintain good relations with Qin State. Relationship."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kun immediately realized that the Xianbei envoy had to make a choice.

But Tuoba Lei said: "Qin's war against the Xiongnu is over, but the threat of the Huns is still there."

"Ah."

Zhao Kun nodded, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

Tuoba Lei continued: "There are beacons on the Great Wall of Qin to convey news. We hope that the border of Qin will establish this kind of connection with us, especially Liaodong. When the Xiongnu rangers plunder Xianbei, they can provide support."

Zhao Kun heard the words, but did not speak.

Tuoba Lei continued: "When General Li Xin pursued Zuo Xianwang's tribe, we made an agreement with him that after Zuo Xianwang's fall, [-]% of Zuo Xianwang's territory will belong to Xianbei. Now that Zuo Xianwang is destroyed, We hope that Qin will fulfill its promise."

He only said [-]% of Zuo Xianwang's sites, but not [-]% of Zuo Xianwang's best sites.

That means.

Xianbei has accepted Qin's allocation, even if Qin gave Wuhuan the most fertile grassland, Xianbei has no objection.

At the same time, Xianbei also accepted Qin's precautions against them.

Seeing that Zhao Kun was still silent, Tuoba Lei said without any hesitation: "Qin State is a friend of Xianbei, we hope to continue to help each other with Qin State when facing a common enemy."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun laughed again.

This Tuoba Lei is really a diplomatic genius.

It not only showed its own position, but also did not lose the dignity of the nation.

Even if he fails in negotiations, he still refuses to be controlled by others.

From Zhao Kun's standpoint, he should be angry and disappointed with Xianbei, but seeing the bloodiness of the tribes on the grassland, he felt incomparable admiration.

Once upon a time, those Chinese people in his heart were so good when facing powerful enemies.

"I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can convey the thoughts of the Xianbei people to the Great Qin Emperor."

Tuoba Lei said sincerely.

Zhao Kun nodded and said, "I will convey it."

"Thank you."

Tuoba Lei once again bowed to Zhao Kun, then led the clansmen to the main hall, and said solemnly: "During this time, I have disturbed His Highness the Crown Prince several times, I hope you will forgive me, we will leave today."

"If you say "excuse me", I will meet you. I hope to have a chance to meet again in the future."

Zhao Kun also stood up and said with a smile.

Hearing that Zhao Kun said that he hoped to meet next time, Tuoba Lei hesitated for a moment, did not respond, but changed the subject and said: "We will leave Xianyang tomorrow, and bid farewell to His Royal Highness here."

"Is it so sudden?" Zhao Kun was surprised.

"It's been a long time since we came to Xianyang, and it's time for us to go back."

"In that case, be careful on the road."

Tuoba Lei nodded, and then left Qin Palace with his clansmen.

Watching the Xianbei envoy leave, Zhao Kun showed a satisfied smile.

To be honest, he has no objection to the Xianbei envoy, it's just a difference in position.

Deep down in his heart, he actually likes the Xianbei people's behavior style, especially this Tuoba Lei, who is simply a diplomatic genius.

As Xianbei's envoy to Qin State, he always remained calm in the face of Qin State's sugar-coated bullets. During the negotiation process, he also considered issues from the interests of the nation. No matter how tough Zhao Kun's attitude was, he chose to endure and put the overall situation first.

This is a qualified diplomat.

Compared with Ubal, Tuoba Lei is indeed worthy of Zhao Kun's appreciation.

But in the same way, compared to the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people are more worthy of Qin's vigilance.

Their performance on the northern battlefield is enough to illustrate their potential, especially the attitude of Tuoba Lei, which shows the tenacity of this nation.

More importantly, they have a strong heart.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He can be sure that when the influence of the Huns gradually recedes, the Xianbei people will become the enemies of Qin sooner or later.

But the Qin State could not destroy Xianbei, because only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can a country gradually become stronger.

As Tuoba Lei said, a comfortable environment will make people lose their national blood.

Zhao Kun didn't want to see the young people of Qin State become a group of useless people without ideals and ambitions.

Therefore, he needs to establish a controllable enemy to keep the young people of Qin State clear.

And this enemy is Xianbei.

As the old saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Compared with the Xianbei envoy's return without success, the Wuhuan envoy's negotiation with Zhao Kun was much smoother.

In particular, the news that the Xianbei envoy accepted Qin's assignment and was about to return to the tribe reached the Wuhuan envoy's ears.

They couldn't believe the benefits they were getting.

The following developments proceeded smoothly and amicably according to the wishes of both parties.

In order to continue to express his importance to Wuhuan, Zhao Kun chose the location of the negotiation to be by the Weishui River.

Watching the rolling Weishui, I took my brothers from ethnic minorities to eat meat and drink.

Between pushing cups and changing cups, some girls were asked to play flute and piano, which also created a good atmosphere for this negotiation.

As a good friend of the people of the Qin Dynasty, and a young man wandering between Wuhuan and the Qin State, Ubar won the greatest benefits for his tribe, as well as the Chollima given by the future emperor of the Qin State.

In Wuhuan's view, Ubal is definitely a great contributor.

Therefore, when Ubal returned, he would definitely be supported, and Wuhuan's request to become a vassal state of Qin would also be granted.

At that time, Wuhuan will send envoys to Qin to pay tribute.

Ubal's promise to Zhao Kun is also considered complete.

But Ubar definitely didn't want to sever the relationship with Zhao Kun, so he strongly invited Zhao Kun to play in the grassland.

He also said that he would pick up some beautiful prairie girls and wait for Zhao Kun to play with them.

Zhao Kun was not interested in multiplayer sports, so he politely declined.

But Ubal sent a lot of expensive gifts, which made Zhao Kun dumbfounded at his sincerity towards the ethnic minorities.

In the end, I had to reluctantly accept it.

"What is multiplayer sports?" Fusu showed a puzzled expression when he heard what Zhao Kun said.

At this time, Zhao Kun had completed the negotiation and came to the palace to report the situation to Fusu.

Coincidentally, I happened to meet Fusu and his sister-in-law having dinner, so I brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and ate with them.

Hearing Fusu's question, Zhao Kun put a piece of crispy meat into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's a special sport for ethnic minorities, we don't have it here."

"Really? Why doesn't the concubine feel like a good thing?"

As soon as Zhao Kun's words fell, the woman in palace costume beside Fusu suddenly spoke.

This woman in palace attire is Fusu's first wife, Meng'e.

Meng'e is the youngest daughter of Meng Wu and the youngest sister of Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

There are many speculations in history. There are two possibilities for Fusu's wife.

One is Wang Ben's daughter, because the first emperor felt that Fusu was too lenient, and Wang Ben's character was very suitable for teaching Fusu, so Fusu married the Wang family.

Another is that Fusu's first wife was Li Si's daughter, because the first emperor had always maintained a good relationship with Li Si, and Li Si's son also married the first emperor's daughter.

But this kind of statement is obviously unreliable, because Fusu is Li Si's son-in-law, he can't just sit back and watch Zhao Gao and Hu Hai pretend to kill Fusu.

Zhao Kun knew that Fusu's first wife was from the Meng family, and she had been introduced by Fusu during the meal just now.

Thinking about it later, Fusu's first wife is a member of the Meng family, which is really reasonable.

After all, the Meng family's strong support for Fusu cannot have nothing to do with it.

However, this sister-in-law's sense is really keen!

She even knows multiplayer sports?
