Chapter 873: Diplomatic Raiders


Western Qin is busy immigrating to the grasslands north of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea and preparing for the founding of the country.

All classes in Western countries have begun to fully understand the Western Qin's conquest of the Khazar Khanate.

After all, it is not convenient to transmit news these days, but It had been five or six months since the Sa Khanate was destroyed, and the people in Western countries only knew the news.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Baoying, this was the first court meeting of the new year.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat and asked, "Do you have anything to report?"

Wang Can stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, at the end of the day, Wang Can, the governor of the East Factory of the General Machinery Academy, has something to report."

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Speak."

"Your Majesty, the Huns who moved westward three hundred years ago fought all the way to the west, beating the Alans, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, Germans, and Burgundians on the way and drove them to the west.

This triggered the largest ethnic migration in the West in history, and these ethnic groups migrating westward brought extremely tragic consequences to the West.

Attila the Hun was the most courageous and talented king among all the Hun kings.

He led his Hun army to defeat the Eastern and Western Roman Empire and paid tribute every year.

Westerners therefore called him the whip of God.

Recently, there was a News that is not conducive to our Western Qin came from the Eastern Roman Empire.

There was a person in the Eastern Roman Empire.

A Greek troubadour named Mach said in his travel biography that the Western Qin Dynasty was like the Huns three hundred years ago.

They called the Huns’ invasion of the West the first Yellow Peril because the Huns were of the yellow race.

Man, this Mach called us Western Qin people the protagonists of the second Yellow Peril in his travel biography.

In the article, he said that our Western Qin's conquest of the Khazar Khanate marked the arrival of the second Yellow Peril in the West.

He also predicted that the Western Qin's invasion and conquest of the West would never stop because of this.

This statement and prophecy triggered a wave of controversy, including in the East.

Many levels of Western kingdoms and khanates, including the Roman Empire, were wary and even panicked.”

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang was furious and slammed the table: "Goddamn it, who is this man named Ma He and why does he want to slander the image of Western Qin like this?

His remarks will put Western Qin into trouble in Western diplomacy.

If we are passive, people in Western countries will also resist us and even our goods."

Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, this man named Mach is the descendant of a down-and-out nobleman in Greece.

This man has always wanted to squeeze into the upper class again, so he often communicates with nobles and upper-class people in Western countries, selling his ideas and poems to them."

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "This kind of person's mouth is too bad and poisonous.

We cannot let such a person talk nonsense."

"Yes, your Majesty will send someone over right now to shut him up."

After Wang Can finished speaking, he added: "There is one more thing I want to report to your Majesty.

After I, the Western Qin Dynasty, captured the Khazar Khanate, the cannibalism seems to have begun.

Be alert, at the border with our Western Qin The area has significantly increased its military strength.

In addition, Caliph Mansur of the Great Eclipse has begun to speed up the pace of cleaning up internal opposition forces.

If the internal opposition of the Great Eclipse is stable, it will either become a strong enemy of our Western Qin or a strong enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire."

Zhao Ziliang looked at the other officials and ministers and asked, "What do you think?"

Dugujun stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, we in Western Qin have just experienced a war.

It seems that it is not appropriate to start a war in a short period of time.

On the one hand, the military expenditure is too high.

On the other hand, the soldiers also need to recuperate.

Moreover, the Fifth Army is in The battle with the Bulgars in the northwest is very costly.

In terms of national strength, if the Central Plains court is not included, the national strength of our Western Qin alone cannot be compared with that of the great food country for the time being.

On a par with this, our Western Qin, including the new lands of Khazar Protectorate, Yaik Protectorate and Kimak Protectorate, has a total population of only 12 million people, while the total population of the Great Food Country is three In terms of fiscal revenue, our annual fiscal revenue in Western Qin is only 30% of that of the Dashi Kingdom.

Their caliphate has 100,000 guards.

Other provinces can organize 500,000 to 600,000 local armies in a very short period of time. " Other officials also came forward one after another and said that the relationship with the Great Food Kingdom was not yet to the point of sending troops to attack immediately, and that they had just experienced a war, but it was not appropriate to provoke another war immediately.

The Great Food Country was no better than the Khasar Khan There are Gobi deserts everywhere in the country, and the national conditions are also very different.

If you want to attack the country, you must be fully prepared.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Since we are not sending troops to attack the Great Food Country for the time being, we cannot allow the Caliph Mansour of the Great Food Country to easily eliminate other sects in the country.

We must do something to intensify their domestic conflicts and give Mansu "Wang Can, you are the governor of Dongchang.

What do you think should be done to intensify the internal conflicts in the country without sending troops?"

Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can secretly fund other opposition forces in Dashi's country, supporting them with money and even weapons, so that they have the strength to fight against Mansour."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Wang Can's method is indeed feasible.

It is up to you to arrange it.

If the cost is within 500,000 yuan, you can make the decision yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Gao Shang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we can actually create friction between the Great Food Country and the Eastern Roman Empire and let them fight first.

These two countries are old enemies.

It would not be surprising if friction occurs on their border. , they will not doubt us, Western Qin.

In addition, if we really want to send troops to attack the Great Food Kingdom, we can unite with the Eastern Roman Empire.

As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

We have no conflict of interest with the Eastern Roman Empire for the time being.

We should be able to unite to deal with the big food country."

Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "It seems that this matter will fall on the West Factory.

Xuan Shiba, the governor of the West Factory, I will leave this matter to you.

You will create friction between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Great Food Country within a year.

This friction will be so great that the two countries will fight."

Xuan Shiba stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Wang Can, I heard that the relationship between the Eastern Roman Empire and the northern Bulgarians is very bad.

Although the Eastern Roman Empire is an empire, it must pay tribute to the Bulgarian Khan every year, right?"

Wang Can said: "Yes, your Majesty, before the Abbasid Dynasty was established, it was the time when the country of Great Food was in the most chaos.

Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire took this opportunity to lead his army to attack Gaimani in northern Syria.

In the sixth year of Tianbao's reign, in 747 AD, he led his army to invade Armenia and the United States.

In the deep areas of Sopotamia, the last caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty, Marwan II, was in power at that time.

This man was unable to resist the attack of Constantine V.

Although he relieved the threat of the Great Food State to the Eastern Roman Empire, But the Slavs and Bulgarians north of Thrace resumed their invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire.

When the northern border was threatened in Tianbao's fifteenth year, the Bulgarian Khan King Vinech succeeded to the throne.

He followed the previous practice and asked the Eastern Roman Empire to double the tribute.

However, due to the reform of the Eastern Roman Empire's military district system and the chaos of the Great Food Kingdom, the Eastern Roman Empire The empire recovered a lot of its strength, and Constantine V no longer asked the Bulgarian Khan The country sued for peace, and he ordered the construction of 600 castles deep in the northern border to resist the Bulgarian attack.

Starting from the fifteenth year of Tianbao, a war broke out between the Bulgarian Khanate and the Eastern Roman Empire almost every year, regardless of the scale. large, but the Bulgarians carried out the Eastern Roman Empire every year."

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "Today our enemy is not the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire is only a potential enemy.

Before there is no conflict of interest between us, it is not suitable for us to be at odds with the Eastern Roman Empire.

Currently, there is a conflict of interest with us.

It is the Big Eater Country, and its territory borders our Western Qin.

Many of you here have experienced the aggressiveness of the Big Eater.

Even if it does not provoke us now, we cannot do nothing.

Instead of letting the Big Eater attack first Come here, why don't we spread the secret first?

Since the Eastern Roman Empire is the mortal enemy of the cannibals, why don’t we help the Eastern Roman Empire?

We want the Eastern Roman Empire to concentrate on dealing with the cannibals.

According to my king’s order, we will build a large port terminal in Kerch on the north coast of the Black Sea.

Large warships were transferred from the east coast of the Caspian Sea to Kerch as the basic backbone of the Black Sea Navy.

A fleet was rebuilt within half a year.

After the formation of the fleet was completed, it harassed Bulgaria along the coast, leaving them no time to find Eastern Rome.

Trouble with the Empire” Gao Shang asked: "Your Majesty, if we build warships and form a fleet in the Black Sea, will it cause suspicion and uneasiness in the Eastern Roman Empire?

Will it affect the relationship between us?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "This depends on whether our Western Qin diplomats have the ability to dispel the suspicion of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Tell me the Western Qin envoys in Constantinople.

We can increase the size of paper, tea and silk." export quota in exchange for us setting up a small fleet in the Black Sea Escorting merchant ships must also create friction between the Magyars, Pechenegs and Bulgarians in the north.

We cannot allow Bulgaria to pose too great a threat to the Eastern Roman Empire for the time being.

The Eastern Roman Empire has more important things to do. , that is, a life-and-death fight with the Big Food Country."

Wang Can cupped his fists and said, "Yes, we will work hard on this matter in the future."

Zhao Ziliang remembered that the founding ceremony would be held in the second half of the year, and said to the officials and generals: "We have decided to hold the founding ceremony on the first day of September this year, so now we need to send people to inform the envoys of various countries in Hengluosi, and invite the emperors and king, khan The king and tribal leaders came to watch the ceremony.

If the monarch could not come, they would also send envoys to Chang'an to inform Zhao Ting about the founding ceremony and ask him to write to the Central Plains court as an envoy. , please invite the Central Plains court to send important ministers to come and watch the ceremony."

Liu Tiao agreed: "Yes, I will immediately instruct the Li Si to handle this matter after the official returns
