Chapter 449 Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away!
Zhang Xuan returned to his "bedroom" and issued an edict again: Order the local government in Liangzhou to register all Persian and big food merchants currently staying in Liangzhou, as well as Hu merchants from the Congling countries. They are hoarding goods and cannot leave Liangzhou for the time being.
This is equivalent to controlling Hu businessmen in disguise. In Liangzhou City, hundreds of Hu merchants gathered in front of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, shouting and shouting, demanding that they be "unchained" as soon as possible and allowed to return to their homeland.
The Liangzhou Governor's Yamen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only use soft and hard tactics to appease the restless Hu Shang.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Xun organized a five-way semi-commercial and semi-official mission within a week on the emperor's order. The first road is to the land of Persia, the second road is to the King of Food, the third road is to Tochara, the fourth road is to Samarkand (Kang), and the fifth road is to Tuqishi.
The mission was composed of a majority of Chinese merchants and three commercial and diplomatic officials from the Chinese dynasty, and was also equipped with 500 soldiers.
??According to the emperor's request, these five trade and diplomatic missions will leave Liangzhou together with Hu merchants from various places in the future, heading for different destinations. Some of them will walk along the Beiting line, while others will take a detour and cross Congling via Khotan and Shule.
After arriving at their destination, these missions will present the credentials of His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty to the host country. Of course, the contents of credentials vary.
The letter of credence submitted to the Persians was intended to strengthen trade, while the letter of credence submitted to the Caliph of Dashi was a letter of protest that was neither humble nor overbearing, requiring Dashi to evacuate the army and government offices from the two fronts of Congling as soon as possible and restore the Anxi Protectorate. Administrative and military management of the entire Zhaowu Nine Surnames, the Tochar region, and the Central Asian Valley region.
The letters of credence given to the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu, Tochara, etc. were righteous and strict, ordering them to immediately declare their vassalage to the court and consciously accept the control of the Anxi Protectorate.
As for the letter of credence given to the Tuqi Shiren, it was more serious, almost an ultimatum, requiring the Tuqi Shiren to immediately give up the occupied Anxi and Beiting areas, and at the same time, the imperial court surrendered, otherwise, the imperial court would raise troops to attack.
Before leaving, Zhang Xuan personally came forward to host a banquet for the officials and generals of the five-way trade and diplomatic mission in the lobby of the Liangzhou government office.
Zhang Xuan is sitting among them, with Guo Ziyi on the left and Zhang Xun on the right. They are both civil and military. They are the emperor's right-hand man who currently controls the world. They are the two most popular powerful officials in the Chinese dynasty today.
Guo Ziyi lowered his eyes. In fact, he did not agree with the emperor's actions and felt that the emperor was unnecessary. Whether it is Dashi, Tuqi Shi, or the Congling Kingdoms, they are all just things that don't see rabbits and don't let go of hawks. To surrender to them with just a letter of credence is almost a fool's dream.
Moreover, Dashi now has a strong army and strong national power, and is ambitious for the Western Regions. How could they give up the large tracts of land they have already acquired?
The Tuqi Shi people are tough and warlike, and they are a very aggressive race in themselves. Tuqi Shiren was backed by Dashi, and he had already had ambitions to disobey his subordinates. In addition, the distance was far away, and the intimidating power of the imperial court was in vain.
"We, China, are a country of etiquette and cannot fight war without declaring it. Therefore, I have appointed you to rush to various countries to understand the intentions of our dynasty. This is my last ultimatum to these foreign countries. You are carrying my heavy trust and propaganda. The arduous mission of China's national strength and culture I hope you can complete the mission to the letter, and I will return to the Western Regions to pick up the wind and cleanse the dust for you!"
More than a hundred officials and generals thanked each other, while Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun looked at each other and secretly said to themselves that the emperor bluntly stated that he would serve the envoys in the Western Regions, which meant that the emperor's determination to conquer the west had not changed at all. This time, the trade and diplomatic mission seems to be just asking for directions.
??In fact, it¡¯s not just asking for directions. Zhang Xuan hoped to express the Chinese imperial court's territorial claims over vast areas such as Anxi and Congling in this way. It could be called courtesy first and then attack, it could also be called knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger, or it could be called division and disintegration.
The reason why the Congling countries turned to Dashi and the reason why the Tuqi Shi people rampaged across the Western Region and Beiting was simply because Dashi was powerful and the control of the Central Plains Dynasty over the Western Region and Beiting was infinitely weakened. If these small countries and races once again feel that the Central Plains Dynasty still has the ability to control the Western Regions, their mentality will naturally change slightly.
¡¡
¡¡
"I shall die for Your Majesty! Strengthen the prestige of our country and fulfill our mission!"
Looking at the officials of the mission kneeling at his feet, Zhang Xuan's smile faded, and his voice suddenly rose and he said with emotion, "But you are traveling thousands of miles away, and there are many risks, and you may even lose your life."The possibility of traveling to a foreign country. I ask you today, if it comes to a decision between life and death, where should you go? ! "
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became depressing and dull, with most officials lying on the ground in silence.
In fact, they each knew very well that although they were serving as trade and diplomatic envoys, they were going to barbarian countries to promote the power of China. If they wanted to complete the emperor's mission, they were surrounded by dangers. If one of them fails, he will die in a foreign land and will not be able to return to his hometown. However, it is one thing to be mentally prepared. When this layer of window paper is actually pierced and the threat of death is placed on everyone's desk, everyone's heart is trembling and hesitating.
Zhang Xuan slowly sat back and suddenly waved his hand.
A group of maids came in carrying wine jars with flowers and placed a jar of wine at everyone's feet.
??????????????????????????????????????????????
Shi Huyanliang, the envoy to Dashi and the former governor of Liang, suddenly raised his head, clasped his fists and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I hereby swear an oath that if I go to Dashi, I would rather die than lose the prestige of our country! If you violate your oath, you will die." No burial place!¡±
As soon as Hu Yanliang took the lead, everyone began to swear. In this atmosphere, even if some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, they will also be brave in words.
Zhang Xuan laughed loudly and said, "You have misunderstood me. I am not sending you to trade with other countries, and I am not asking you to die, let alone die for your country. I just hope that when you are in a foreign country, you must always remember, You are a minister of the supreme state of China, and behind you is not me alone, but our 80 million people, thousands of miles of magnificent mountains and rivers, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops who are invincible and conquer the world!"
"Behind you is the towering China. I am leading hundreds of thousands of cavalry behind you. You have nothing to fear! Keep your head high, your chest high, and your back straight! Remember my words, anyone who offends our country will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Zhang Xuan¡¯s resolute and impassioned voice echoed in the hall for a long time, and everyone burst into tears and shouted, ¡°Long Live the Mountain¡±. There are no words to express the excitement.
¡°Come, open the wine jar and drink with me!
"Dry!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The tsunami-like shouts of long live and cheers from the front hall reached the back courtyard. Su Hudong was lying on a soft couch, holding his bulging belly with his hands, turned to Li Tengkong and sighed quietly, "It's empty." Sister, it seems that Your Majesty will lead the army to the west in spring at most, but it is a pity that I am pregnant at this juncture and cannot follow Your Majesty on the expedition"
"Sister Su'er, your majesty is willing to take us to accompany the army. We are not required to lead the army into battle, but to boost morale. Sister Su'er, you are pregnant. This is a great joy. I told your majesty that I will stay in Liangzhou I will accompany you during the delivery, and after you give birth, we sisters will go to the four towns of Anxi together to meet with His Majesty."
Li Tengkong leaned over to comfort Su Hudong.
Su Hudong held Li Tengkong's hand with some gratitude. She knew in her heart that Li Tengkong would rather give up staying with the emperor than stay in Liangzhou, just to take care of her and accompany her. As both the emperor's concubines, Li Tengkong was able to achieve this level. Although it shows from one aspect that the two women have a harmonious relationship and a deep sisterly love, it also reflects Li Tengkong's tolerance and generosity.
Su Hudong was about to say a few thoughtful words when he suddenly felt a strong sense of vomiting. With the help of Li Tengkong and the maid, he struggled again and broke into a sweat.
I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but her reaction during pregnancy is particularly severe. Normally, she¡¯s six months old and shouldn¡¯t have any reactions anymore, but she still has to make a fuss every now and then.
Su Hudong gasped and weakly let go of Li Tengkong's hand, and said with a bitter smile, "Sister Kong'er, this child is really going to torture me to death After this birth, I won't be able to get pregnant again in the future."
Li Tengkong pursed his lips and smiled softly, "Sister Su'er, this is not up to you. I have to ask His Majesty if he agrees."
"Just bear with it, just hold on for a few more months, and it will be fine. I envy my sister, and I don't know when my belly will be able to compete Hey!" Li Tengkong let out a sigh.
To be honest, because she has always been with Zhang Xuan, the number and frequency of her lovemaking with Zhang Xuan is much higher than that of Su Hudong and other girls. However, they have all given birth to children one after another, but there is no news about her at all.
Li Tengkong said he didn't mind, but in fact he felt quite lonely.
You must know that in this era of royal power, as a royal concubine, if she cannot give birth to a boy and a girl for the emperor, her future status in the palace will be in jeopardy. And in the future, there will be no one to rely on.
Su Hudong in turn began to comfort Li Tengkong, and the two women talked and laughed until Zhang Xuan left with 70 to 80% drunkenness.After walking back to the hall, Li Tengkong quietly left Su Hudong and returned to his residence.
Su Hudong was unwell. Although she was pregnant and could not have sex, Zhang Xuan still insisted on staying with her these days, which was considered considerate of her.
Su Hudong was supported by two maids and smiled softly at Zhang Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, I am tired tonight and want to rest early. Please go to Sister Konger's place."
Zhang Xuan shook his head, "No, no, I want to accompany you, I want to accompany my son!"
Zhang Xuan swayed and strode over, reaching out to touch Su Hudong's belly. His movements were a little rough.
Su Hudong was startled and shouted softly, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
