Chapter 475 National Traditions Are Important(1/2)
The distribution of the Huns' old land actually had a result.
The Qin State was not assured that the Xianbei would become the next Xiongnu, so it would not allocate the plump grassland to them, so it chose the Wuhuan, who was closer to the Qin State.
This is a political consideration and a future strategic deployment.
The Xianbei people understood this truth and also saw the choices placed in front of them.
Maintain good relations with Qin and strive for the best interests of negotiations. Then you will become a vassal state of Qin.
It is obvious that this is related to the future of the Xianbei.
Those Xianbei envoys could not make the decision, and Zhao Kun did not urge them, but just waited for them to contact the tribe and waited for the negotiation result.
Half a month later, the Xianbei envoy visited Zhao Kun again.
Zhao Kun knew that they had already negotiated and came up with the result, so he met them at the Qin Palace.
Although Zhao Kun also gave them Central Plains clothing, these Xianbei envoys were still wearing grassland clothing.
On the issue of ethnicity, the Wuhuan was obviously much more enlightened.
Since Zhao Kun sent the Wuhuan envoy Zhongyuan clothing, Ubar and others have been walking on the streets of Xianyang in wide sleeves all day long, attracting attention.
In Ying Zheng's words, barbarians who have not been educated, even if they are dressed in Central Plains clothing, they are barbarians.
So, when Ubar and others were wearing Central Plains costumes and walking on the street, the people of Xianyang always felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.
But people feel good and have to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains by themselves.
The Xianbei envoys were different. They had been to Xianyang for so long, and they never showed off their own characteristics.
This made Zhao Kun feel a little moved. It seemed that the Xianbei people still had no intention of surrendering to the Qin Dynasty.
Since there is no intention to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, the result has been destined for a long time.
The road is at your feet, and the decision is up to you.
Thinking of this, the Xianbei envoy had already arrived at the Qin Prince's Mansion.
Zhou Kui arranged them to the main hall, and Zhao Kun also waited for them in the main hall.
When they saw Zhao Kun, they saluted immediately: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No gift." Zhao Kun smiled and raised his hand and signaled: "Please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness,"
The Xianbei envoy thanked him and sat down after the market.
Although the Xianbei envoy acted very politely, Zhao Kun already knew their choice, so he did not ask for the answer immediately.
After all, after today, the Xianbei envoy was about to leave Xianyang, so there was no need for him to implement tough policies on others.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Several envoys have been to Xianyang for so long, have they ever visited Weishui?"
"We have heard of the beauty of the Wei River, but we have never been there." Tuoba Lei shook his head and said sincerely.
Zhao Kun sighed, "That's a pity."
"Xianyang is very big. We are not familiar with many places in the city, so we have only been to a few places near the inn."
Tuoba Lei thought for a while and said, "But Xianyang is very prosperous, and it is indeed not comparable to our grassland tribe. We admire the Qin people for building the capital so beautifully."
"Just admire, don't you envy?"
Zhao Kun asked meaningfully, and then said: "The envoys have been in Xianyang for so long, and they don't seem to be very interested in the Central Plains culture. If I hadn't invited the envoys to watch football before, the envoys wouldn't have gone. Bar."
Hearing this, Tuoba Lei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although the Central Plains culture is good, you Central Plains people, we Xianbei people have their own culture. This time we came to Xianyang to do things,
It's over, we have to return to the tribe as soon as possible."
"Oh?" Zhao Kun raised his eyebrows: "The noble envoy means that you Xianbei have their own culture, so you are not interested in Central Plains culture?"
"You can't say that."
Tuoba Lei shook his head and looked at Zhao Kun: "We in Xianbei have many herdsmen. They enjoy the gifts of grasslands, mountains, rivers and lakes. No matter how good the culture in the Central Plains is, they cannot have it."
"Yeah?"
Zhao Kun smiled and quipped: "Your view is a bit different from Ubar!"
"I don't care about the choices made by Ubar."
Tuoba Lei continued: "We Xianbei people have their own traditions on the grassland. If we give up our own traditions and choose Central Plains culture, then we are not Xianbei people."
Hearing this, Zhao Kun suddenly laughed.
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.
Ubar was a pro-Qin faction and was committed to the Wuhuan becoming a vassal state of Qin. This was the power of cultural invasion.
Zhao Kun didn't know whether the Xianbei people had seen through this idea.
But it is obviously impossible to use the idea of cultural invasion on the Xianbei people.
"It turns out that the noble envoy came to Xianyang for so long. He didn't want to see the beautiful scenery of the Wei River or wear Central Plains clothing. It's for the Xianbei tradition!"
"The tradition of a nation is very important."
"But it's just beautiful scenery and clothing, why bother being so serious?" Zhao Kun was a little puzzled.
Tuoba Lei seemed extremely serious: "If the Xianbei people fall in love with the Central Plains clothing, they will gradually give up their own clothing. Without their own clothing, the next generation will give up their own culture, which is very dangerous for the Xianbei."
Zhao Kun smiled unanimously and said, "It's too unfair to worry about the innocence of the entourage."
"The Qin State is very powerful. After destroying the Huns, it can be said that there is no enemy, so the Central Plains culture tends to be comfortable."
Tuoba Lei sighed: "But the Xianbei is different. The Xianbei is threatened by the Xiongnu raiders and other tribes are eyeing each other. The Xianbei dare not relax at all, so they have to cultivate the bravest warriors!"
"The comfortable Central Plains culture is not suitable for the Xianbei people."
Hearing this, Zhao Kun already understood what Tuoba Lei meant.
Obviously, the Xianbei people were not interested in Central Plains culture, but their living environment did not allow them to be interested.
If the Xianbei people accepted the comfortable Central Plains culture, then they would build the sky towers they yearn for on the grassland.
The grassland people's bloodiness of protecting their homes and fearlessness will gradually disappear.
In this way, the warriors of other tribes will quickly eradicate them.
For the Xianbei people, national culture has an important relationship with life and death.
In fact, it is not difficult for Zhao Kun to understand that such problems existed in later countries. Many foreign cultures changed the concepts of later generations.
This gradually leads to the bloodiness of the older generation.
He didn't know whether those Chinese who admired foreign countries would be eradicated when the country was in crisis.
Tuoba Lei looked at the food and wine in front of him, and said in a deep tone: "The Xianbei is the Xianbei, and the Central Plains is the Central Plains."
Zhao Kunming understood the situation of the Xianbei, but did not show a sympathy.
After all, farmers and snakes also apply to the relationship between countries.
After a while of silence, Tuoba Leihu thought of something again, stood up and saluted Zhao Kun and said, "Although the Xianbei cannot accept the Central Plains culture, the Xianbei envies the strength of Qin and hopes to maintain good luck with Qin.
the relationship.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Kun immediately realized that the Xianbei envoy was going to make a choice.
But Tuoba Lei said: "The war between Qin and the Huns has ended, but the threat of the Huns is still there."
"Um."
Zhao Kun nodded and quietly waited for the following article.
Tuoba Lei continued: "There are beacons to convey messages in the Great Wall of Qin. We hope that the Qin border will establish such a connection with us, especially in Liaodong, which can provide support when the Xiongnu raids the Xianbei."
Zhao Kun didn't say anything when he heard this.
Tuoba Lei continued: "When General Li Xin pursued Zuo Xianwang's tribe, we agreed with him that after the Zuo Xianwang was destroyed, 40% of the Zuo Xianwang's territory would be returned to the Xianbei. Now Zuo Xianwang has been destroyed.
We hope Qin will fulfill its promise."
He only talked about 40% of the territory of Zuoxian King, but did not talk about 40% of the best territory of Zuoxian King.
That means.
The Xianbei had accepted the distribution of Qin. Even if Qin gave the most plump grassland to Wuhuan, the Xianbei would have no objection.
At the same time, the Xianbei also accepted the Qin Dynasty's defense towards them.
Seeing that Zhao Kun still didn't speak, Tuoba Lei said without hesitation: "Qin is a friend of the Xianbei. We hope to continue to help each other with Qin, and when facing a common enemy."
Hearing this, Zhao Kun smiled again.
This Tuoba Lei is really a diplomatic genius.
He not only expressed his position, but also did not lose the dignity of the nation.
Even if he fails in negotiations, he still refuses to be controlled.
