I have a backstage in Datang

Just relying on the master to send a fire, there is a chance.

What about Turkic talk this time, his disciples will all participate...

I'm really envious.

……

... This chapter is 2 in 1 big chapter, so today is the third watch, hahaha, and I have paid off another chapter of debts, which makes me proud for a while.You don't need to praise me, Shanshui is just so righteous, with the word "righteousness" in his head, with a passion for words, and a word... er, forget it, lest someone send me a knife.

Chapter 214 [The largest envoy in the past and present]

Fifteen days later, an imperial decree from Chang'an finally arrived.

This is an imperial decree on Turkic negotiations.

Accompanied by a huge team of officials.

Most of the officials in this team are old-school families, and there are many people at the helm of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, such as Wang Si, the patriarch of the Wang Clan in Taiyuan, Zheng Huairen, the patriarch of the Zheng Clan in Xingyang, and even some who have separated from their families. Unexpectedly, the six young masters would all appear in the team this time.

It can be seen that the competition for the errands of the Turkic negotiating missions was fierce.

Since the aristocratic family has competed for so many positions, the emerging forces of the Tiance Mansion will definitely not lag behind. Sure enough, the imperial decree is impartial, and enough seats have been given to the Tiance Mansion.

But the most important thing is the negotiator and deputy envoy.

……

This is the imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty!

"Decree, Zhongshu Province, half a month ago, a great victory in the Northwest, my great Tang warriors fought hard to snipe the soldiers going south on the grassland in the border area, beheaded 50 soldiers, captured 150 million prisoners, and obtained more than 40 bullocks and 50 Turkic horses. More than ten thousand horses, this battle is a great victory..."

This bragging is a bit outrageous!

Obviously Datang's victory reporting system has been learned badly.

Ever since Gu Tianya taught a messenger to brag, the entire military department of the Tang Dynasty suddenly discovered that this bragging method is really effective. As long as you win a battle, bragging can definitely stimulate the hearts of the people, so it has formed a habit. It must be reported to the big one.

If 5 people were killed in the clear array, 50 people would be included in the report.

In fact, the number of prisoners was also only [-], but the chiefs of the Ministry of War directly blew it up to [-] million.

In addition, there are captured Turkic bullocks and Turkic horses that can barely be used after the war. Obviously there are only [-] to [-] in number, but the number of victory has also increased tenfold.

Everyone in the court knew that the Han family in the Central Plains had been bullied by the grassland for too long, and they really needed a big victory to boost the hearts of the people, so no matter whether it was the military chiefs or the Li royal family, they all appreciated this boastful victory. Approved.

That's why such a scary number was written at the beginning of the imperial decree.

But the real content of the imperial decree is in the back!

"In this great victory, the Han family won a complete victory. They first attacked the Turkic invading soldiers, and then destroyed the Turkic puppet Liang State. What's more, they captured the Khan of the Grassland. In this case, I am specially appointed..."

What followed was a long series of appointments, all of which were official positions in the Turkic negotiating mission.

……

: Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin;

: Pingyang husband-in-law, Gu Tianya.

A total of two ambassadors!

Gu Tianya is on the list!

As for the appointment of the chief envoy, it was not unexpected, it was indeed Li Shimin and Gu Tianya who were guessed by everyone, because this time the battle with the Turks was a joint battle between the Tiance government of the Tang Dynasty and the Hebei Detachment of Women, since they contributed their efforts, they must benefit from it.

Although some people have some complaints about Gu Tianya being able to be the chief envoy alongside Li Shimin, but more people can calm down and ponder the way of doing it... The Li family's royal family is supporting a foreign relative to become a city wall in the north of Yongzhen .

Since it is this factor, it is not outrageous for Gu Tianya to be the chief ambassador.

In fact, the officials don't care about the positions of the chief negotiators, because everyone knows that the positions of the two chief ambassadors are not available to outsiders. What really makes everyone depressed is that the next seat is dissatisfied.

: Wang Si, Cui Yixuan, Zheng Huairen, Li Maoshu, Cui Yiyu, Li Xiaofeng.

Qiwang, the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty, now only has six families left. Because Fan Yang and the Lu family once colluded with Liang Shidu of the Liang Kingdom, they wanted to use poisonous mushrooms to assassinate Li Xiuning who was pregnant. It was half a year ago that such a big family was slaughtered overnight. It is said that they encountered horse thieves of unknown origin, but everyone knew that it was a good thing that Gu Tianya and Li Shimin jointly did.

Now there are only six families left with the five surnames and seven Wangs, representing the interests of the Alliance of Aristocratic Families in the World, so they have won the positions of six negotiating assistant envoys, and they are still the slightly important left deputy envoys.

Since there is a left deputy, there must be a right deputy.In fact, there was no need to be so troublesome, but this time the aristocratic family and the Tiance Mansion fought too fiercely, so they had to set up two teams of negotiating deputy envoys, one on the left and one on the right.

: Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Xu Shiji.

There are also six people, all of whom are bigwigs from Tiance Mansion. Although the official positions of these six people are not high for the time being, everyone knows that they will be promoted very quickly. This Turkic negotiation is just a good opportunity. It is purely an opportunity for these two people to gain fame.

……

The aristocratic family and Tiance Mansion, one left and one right two teams of deputy envoys to negotiate, this was already complicated enough, but no one thought that there would be a team of deputy envoys.

And he is also the deputy envoy with higher power

: Cheng Chumo, Li Chongyi, Tan Xiao, Lu Zhaolin, Wang Bo, Fang Yiai.

After the names of the six persons in the imperial decree were read out, there was an uproar and confusion almost all over the place. Some people were dumbfounded, some were full of dissatisfaction, and only those bigwigs who got the news in advance would secretly let out a helpless cry in their hearts. emotion.

"The disciples of the Gu family are so lucky. These six little fellows have almost earned their fame... just because they worshiped a good master, they don't need to worry about their future at all. With their master planning strategies, everything will be given to them The foreshadowing is well done, alas, Gu Tianya, Gu Tianya, really deserves to be the most protective Gu Tianya in the world."

……

It's a pity that no matter how much you feel, the position of deputy negotiating envoy of the six disciples of the Gu family is gone, and no one dares to grab it, so they can only secretly envy and hate.

Why envy, envy and hate?

Just look at the errands of those young people of the same generation.

: Cui Di, Wang Lingyun, Zheng Guanyu, Cui Tanzhi, Li Youran, Li Youyun, Wang Linghao...

There are more than fifty people with densely packed names.

These people are all handsome men of the younger generation, and among them are the six sons with five surnames and seven Wangs. But it is such a group of young elites, they can only serve as a writer in the negotiation.

What is a writer?To put it bluntly, he is a handyman!It is mainly responsible for communicating with the Turkic envoys, and quarreling with each other over some trivial matters.

Even such a small job has caused the younger generation to fight over their heads. The names of more than 50 people written in the imperial decree almost represent more than 50 top forces in the entire Tang Dynasty. One generation, and at the same time the younger generation in Tiance Mansion.

However, even with such a strong background, they can only helplessly envy and hate. Obviously everyone is also of the younger generation, so why did the six of Cheng Chumo become deputy negotiators?Moreover, he is the deputy envoy in the negotiation, and his power is even higher than that of the left envoy and the right envoy.

No way, who told me to have a good master.

……

The mission of the Turkic negotiations this time is roughly the above plan.

First, the two chief negotiators, Li Shimin and Gu Tianya, are leading the team. Then there are three teams of deputy negotiators, each representing the interests of one side, and finally a group of writers, representing the interests of more families.

The negotiator, who usually doesn't open his mouth, is mainly responsible for pretending to be coercive, which is euphemistically called the pressure.

Negotiating deputy envoys also don't talk too much, only when it comes to competing for large-scale interests, the deputy envoys will really start their work.

So the most important thing in the negotiation is that the writers are talking.

As one of the main envoys this time, Gu Tianya must give some pointers to the negotiators before leaving. Although he is very young, he is not stage-frightened at the moment. Instead, he stands in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back and speaks solemnly. own ideas.

"Since ancient times, negotiating together has paid attention to knowing oneself and the enemy. Since we are going to talk to the Turkic people this time, we must first understand everything about the Turkic people..."

……

... Today's 1st update arrives, 3000 words, followed by the 2nd update, can everyone vote for me?

Chapter 215 [Whoever can negotiate successfully will be famous all over the world]

"The grassland nation has a long history. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, they have lived in the north. At that time, they were called the Xiongnu, and the person in power was Shanyu. But the Turkic people's power is different from that of our Han people. This is based on their national habits. of."

"Our Han family in the Central Plains is regarded as a farming family. What we pay attention to is gathering people together to keep warm. The more people there are, the more prosperous the country will be. But the Turkic people are different. They are a nomadic group. They live after chasing water and grass, and reproduce through grazing. interest, which means that their power cannot be concentrated, but a national power of a tribal alliance system."

"The reason why the grassland tribes were able to form an alliance is generally based on the following two factors. First, the Turkic royal family is the most powerful. The grassland pays attention to worshiping the strong, and invasions are staged almost every day. Whoever is powerful will be the king." Sir, the reason why Jieli Khan was able to establish the royal court is because his tribe is the largest in the grassland. Others can't beat him, so they can only make him Khan..."

"But there is another reason for the grassland tribal alliance that cannot be underestimated, that is, the Turkic people have a sacrificial organization responsible for matters of belief. Maybe you don't know that the beliefs of the grassland tribes are very complicated. For example, some believe in wolf gods, and some believe in Some people believe in a big rock, while others believe in a small puddle of water... Everyone thinks it is weird, but it is indeed the status quo of Turkic beliefs."

"The complicated beliefs of the Turkic people will inevitably lead to conflicts of beliefs between tribes, so how to solve these conflicts of beliefs? There is a sacrificial organization that has been passed down for a long time on the grassland. It is precisely because of the continuous coordination of the sacrificial organization that the Countless tribes maintain relative restraint, although they will still attack each other, but it will never develop into a war of the whole people."

"And what we need to be vigilant about is this sacrificial organization!"

Gu Tianya gave a long speech, and he popularized the knowledge to everyone. At first, everyone just listened casually, but gradually they began to be serious.

They used to only know that the grassland is very powerful, and that the Turkic people live nomadicly on the grassland, but they only have a half-knowledge of the situation in the depths, and no one can understand it as clearly as Gu Tianya.

So everyone began to listen attentively, and carefully wrote down Gu Tianya's arrangement.

Gu Tianya continued: "The highest level of the Turkic sacrificial organization is the ancient temple. It is said that it is hidden at the foot of the Yin Mountain, and there are powerful tribes protecting the temple around it. Let's not care where the ancient temple is. Let's just talk about the ancient temple. The leader in the..."

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the leader of the sacrificial priests on the grassland has been sitting in the ancient temple. The title of this priest is very straightforward. It is directly called the high priest of the grassland. It is usually held by a woman. It is called the saint bestowed by God to the grassland. The saintess has been passed down from generation to generation and is responsible for commanding all the priests on the grassland. Whenever a new tribe is born, a priest will be sent there. Whenever an old tribe dies, the priest will be returned to the ancient temple."

"After hearing this, everyone must have understood that the power of this ancient temple is extremely huge... The reason why I told you so carefully is to let everyone be vigilant in advance. This time we negotiate with the Turkic people, we must Pay attention to the priests among the envoys of the other side, although they have never held real power, or even have powerful soldiers and horses in their hands, but faith is power on the grassland, so the priests are the most powerful people on the grassland."

"We have set three bottom lines in this negotiation. First, Datang wants to reap benefits. This time we won the first battle and we captured Jieli Khan. If the Turks want to buy it back, they must pay a certain price. This is the first bottom line, I believe everyone will be able to negotiate."

"Secondly, it is the land of Liang State. Liang Shidu was a generation of heroes. He left the land and ran away during the war. This man is very tolerant and belongs to the advanced generation in the midst of life. Although he was destroyed by us, but However, when the country was destroyed, he took away a hundred thousand troops. Now he has joined the Turks and is no longer the puppet of the past. Then, will he swallow his anger when he loses his country? No, he definitely wants to get his country back. What about us? Can you spit out the fat in your stomach? If anyone dares to spit it out, don't blame all the Han people for poking your spine..."

"So the second bottom line is to occupy Liang State's territory. This is the benefit we have won. Isn't it good to use it to raise our people? If anyone can negotiate this matter, I will give it to you after the negotiation is over." He asks for credit, maybe it’s too big of a guarantee, but I can still guarantee it as a county marquis who has been passed down for three generations. I see that there are countless younger generations among you, and I must be very happy with the title of county marquis Be hot-eyed. Then, let's see who can talk better."

"As for the last bottom line, it is the top priority of this negotiation. Everyone should already know that we have captured more than 5 Turkic auxiliary soldiers in this great victory. These auxiliary soldiers must not be supported. We Han The family’s own food is not enough to eat, but what should we do if we don’t support them? Are we going to make them all work as slaves? No way, now our strength is not enough to drive the Turkic people to be slaves. Since we are not strong enough, we have to Put them back. But we can’t let them go in vain, we have to get back the corresponding population... I think everyone has understood that what I’m talking about is the Han slaves who were taken away by the Turks.”

"Hannu are our compatriots, with the same blood, and the same ancestors. However, we were weak in the past, and we could only watch the same people being looted. They suffered on the grassland and were tortured like animals. This kind of What a great humiliation, how painful it is for the Han people in the world."

"Over the past 100 years, the history of the blood of the Han family is as tragic. Countless people with lofty ideals want to rescue the Han slaves and go home. Unfortunately, they can only look north and sigh when they struggle all their lives. Shout out, Hannu, Hannu, save Hannu..."

When Gu Tianya said this, his voice suddenly turned into a shout, and he said: "The wish of the predecessors finally has a chance now. There are hundreds of thousands of Han slaves in the entire grassland, and we only have [-] Turkic captives in our hands. The Turkic people will never let go of the exchange of unequal quantities, but the third bottom line I want to tell you today is this, I implore everyone to exchange all the grassland Han slaves!"

He paused as he spoke, with a look of determination on his face, and he almost roared: "Whoever can achieve this will immediately become famous in Kyushu, and I, Gu Tianya, as a member of the Han family I will make three major promises to you, and even the Li family will make three promises, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Han family, we can help you do it..."

"The most important thing is that I will give you a prince!"

The audience was silent.

Then there was a bang.

This was no longer a gasping sound, but a jaw-dropping shock.

Famous all over the world!

Six commitments!

And, a princely position.

What a reward.

It seems that both the Li royal family and Gu Tianya are determined to negotiate with the Turks this time, no matter how difficult it is, they must achieve their goals.

Negotiating three bottom lines, rescuing the Han slaves first, exchanging [-] captives for hundreds of thousands of Han slaves, just think about how difficult it is.

However, all want to give it a try.

……

... The second update is here today, thank you for reading.

Chapter 216 [Little Turkic Saint, Cao'er]

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

It was the end of autumn in the Central Plains, and the weather in the northern grasslands had already started to get cold.

Especially after a night of cold wind, the prairie seemed to turn yellow in an instant. As far as the eye could see, it was desolate and barren. The herdsmen were fighting for time to harvest as much grass as possible and store it in bundles for winter. Cattle and sheep can be fed.

There are many herdsmen working on the grasslands, but there are even more Han slaves working.

But seeing the cold wind howling, the Han slaves were wearing tattered and thin clothes. They hunched over and pulled the grass with their hands.

This is because the Turkic people lack iron and cannot cast sickles in large quantities. Even if they occasionally get some iron, the Turkic people give priority to casting scimitars.

Machete!

That is a weapon!

Weapons can be used to kill people, and with weapons, wars can be waged. As for the scythes used to mow grass, why not just let the Han slaves pull them out with their hands?

Anyway, there are many Hannu, and if they are exhausted, they will catch some more. As long as the Turkic people have knives in their hands, they think that there will never be a shortage of slaves.
