The so-called Annan is the Vietnam of later generations. From the time when Qin Shihuang unified the world, Vietnam has been the territory of China! After the Qin Dynasty, Han, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, Vietnam still belonged to China, and the central government set up prefectures and counties in Vietnam to directly administer it! Until
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Vietnam rebelled from China and became an independent territory! After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty army was weak and unable to suppress the rebellion, so Vietnam only became a vassal state of the Northern Song Dynasty!
Later, the Ming Dynasty was established and Vietnam became part of Chinese territory again! However, Vietnam soon rebelled again. From then until modern times, Vietnam has always existed in the form of a vassal state. The fastest updated
Now that Wu Dong mentioned Vietnam, Hua Rong showed a look of disdain on his face and said: "That is our Chinese territory. It is easy to regain it. All we need is a group army!"
Wu Dong nodded and said: "There is no need to rush this matter. We must completely stabilize the Central Plains before we find a way to regain it."
Hua Rong said: "Your Majesty, do you seem to have any other concerns?"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "I'm just worried that our nation's bloodiness, bravery, and adventurous spirit have not been fully inspired! Changing our nation so that our people are no longer timid, cowardly, and dare not fight is also
One of my goals to unify the world! Now we no longer implement a military system. Although we still have a lot of propaganda, we don’t know how effective this propaganda is."
Hua Rong said: "After a large number of people go to the north to take risks and get rich, many people will definitely go to the north! Moreover, when Annan is conquered in the future, we can let the people participate... We can even encourage the people to go to some places.
Looting backward places and increasing wealth... Some policies of the military state can still be continued. It will take time to completely change our nation."
Wu Dong nodded slightly!
In July of the second year of Datong, a new type of imperial examination was held in the Yanyun area! There were two subjects in the imperial examination, one was new studies and political affairs, and the other was science. Some students called them miscellaneous subjects! Only ordinary grassroots civil servants were selected in the imperial examination.
, they need to go somewhere to get promoted through political performance!
In August of the second year of Datong, the envoys from Huacizm in the far west came to Yanjing City again! The envoys of Huacizm once again explained that the Yinshan and Wanggu tribes belonged to the Turks and were also part of Huacizm, so they asked for Daliang
Return all the territory and people in the Yinshan area to Huacizimo!
Huacizim is also known as Huoxun. During the Tang Dynasty, the strength of Huacizim was not very strong. Historical records record that they once paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. But now it is one of the most powerful periods of Huacizim, even no less powerful than that of later generations.
The era of Genghis Khan! In the era of Genghis Khan, although the Khwarizm had conquered Persia, they suffered serious military losses in the war with Xiliao, so they were gradually eliminated by the Mongols. However, there is no such problem now, and their military strength is extremely strong!
Upon hearing such unreasonable demands from the Huaqizim envoy, Wu Dong, Hua Rong and others naturally refused outright!
Later, the Huaqizim envoy requested to trade with Daliang, and Wu Dong agreed.
However, in November of the second year of Datong, Daliang Zhong Province received news that the merchants from Daliang who went to Huacizm for business were actually detained by Huacizm! That day, Wudong held a central meeting to discuss the matter.
Wu Dong looked at the ministers beside him and said, "Tell me, how should we deal with Huacizimo?"
Zhu Wudao: "Your Majesty, Huacizimo is far away from the Central Plains. Although it has detained our merchants, it does not pose a great threat to us! The Central Plains has just stabilized and there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized. It is not a good time to raise troops."
Li Gang, Gongsun Sheng and others next to him all nodded, and finally even Hua Rong nodded.
Wu Dong also nodded. He also felt that now was not a good time to raise troops! The reason why Genghis Khan later mobilized the national army to conquer Khwarezm was mainly because Khwarezm had threatened the survival of the Mongolians on the grassland! At that time, Genghis Khan was conquering
To serve the Kingdom of Jin, he had to put aside the war in the Kingdom of Jin and use all his strength to deal with Huazim. After wiping out the Khwarizm, Genghis Khan again directed his troops to the Kingdom of Jin, Xixia and other places! Now the grasslands of Daliang, Xixia and other places are in harmony with Huarizim.
mold bordering, but
Huacizimo has no signs of invading Daliang! In addition, all the national power of Daliang is now placed in the country. The food produced in the north needs to be provided for disaster relief, and gold and silver need to maintain domestic construction. In addition, major group armies are still suppressing bandits and maintaining the safety of local people.
order
, it is indeed a bit hasty to send troops to Huazizim now! Huazizm is also a big country in the West, with an army of 400,000. It would take three years for a hero like Genghis Khan to destroy Huazizim, and Liangshan may also take a long time.
"Zhu Wu, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent an envoy to Khwarizm to question the king of Khwarizm! I want to see what their intentions are! They seized our businessmen and property. Is it the intention of their government?
It means some local tyrants!" Wu Dong said.
"Yes!" Zhu Wu agreed.
Zhu Wu went to carry out the matter that day. After discussing with Shi Qian, they both felt that Huacizm was an important place, so Shi Qian decided to go to Huacizm in person to question the king of Huacizm.
Early on the next morning, Shi Qian took more than ten people to the west! It was a long way from Yanjing City to Ulonggechi, the capital of Huazizimo. They first came to Zhongxingfu, the capital of Xixia, and stayed here for two days to relax.
After resting, they continued walking.
After that, they crossed the vast desert and finally came to the territory of Khwarizm.
After entering Huacizm, Shi Qian had been looking at the place secretly. He originally thought that Huacizm was a grassland country, but who knew that was not the case at all, this place turned out to be an agricultural country!
The environment of Khwarezm in this era was very different from that of later generations, because the ancient Amu Darya River was extremely rich in water resources. Therefore, along both sides of the Amu Darya River, the Turks built countless cities. In these places, agriculture
They are all extremely developed! Moreover, this place has been influenced by Islamic civilization, and the religious atmosphere here is also extremely strong.
At this time, the king of Khwarezm was called Kududin Mahamo. He was already over 60 years old, but he was well-maintained and his whole body was white and fat, giving people a feeling of unusual wealth.
At that time, not long after Qian and his party entered Huazizm, he got the news. In fact, he had planned to do business with Daliang. Later, it was one of his sons, the prince of Huazizm, who detained the Daliang merchants, not
His idea! But Mahamo doted on his son very much. Since his son did such a thing, he let his son do whatever he wanted, and he had no intention of surrendering to Liangshan!
"The Han people's envoys came from afar, probably because the merchants were detained. What should you do?" Mahamo summoned many nobles, ministers, and generals to his palace and said.
"We can seize their merchants if we want. What's the big deal? I heard that the Han people are extremely cowardly. We only need to scare them, and their envoys will obey obediently!" said a noble.
"We can even ask the Han people to provide a large amount of gold and silver to redeem those merchants!" Another noble said.
Huacizm borders Mongolia, Xixia and other places, so they know what the character of the Han people was like in the past.
"I heard that the Han people changed their emperor. This emperor was very powerful. He had destroyed Xixia and Mongolia. Can we deal with them?" A minister said hesitantly.
"How can Mongolia and Xixia compare with me, Hualizimo?" the nobleman who spoke first said disdainfully.
