Many people think that the steppe people are very straightforward and think that they are very simple.
In fact, this is not the case, a person's ability is related to his knowledge and experience, and his education is related to his experience.
In the past, the memory of the grassland people in everyone's impression was more upright, mostly because the vast majority of the grassland people received limited education, they were nomadic in the grassland, and their knowledge was also limited.
Man is foolish because of ignorance, and savage because of ignorance.
But even in the remote Mobei grassland, not all people are uninformed.
Just as the Central Plains is vast and rich, although there are countless capable and wise people, in those remote mountainous areas, many people are also closed and ignorant because of lack of education and lack of opportunities to get out of the mountains.
The two men of the Mobei grassland, Qi Bi Ge and Yao Ge Luo Tu Midu, are not ignorant people, let alone upright and loyal people.
They have gray braids, and they have also crossed the grassland for half their lives, and have seen countless winds and waves, Turkic, Tiele, and Xue Yantuo, and they have survived to the end.
Many ordinary people don't know what the general trend of the world is, and even only know that Dahua is in the south of the grassland, but they don't know how big this Dahua is, where the emperor is, and how the emperor is good.
They worship heroes, they worship power, they revere those steppe warriors who ride horses well and shoot arrows.
In their eyes, the tribal leader was already very remarkable, let alone the khan of the khanate.
Qi Bi Ge was stunned and Yao Ge Luo Tu was lost in Mobei, which was as prestigious as a mountain.
But they were well-informed, and they clearly knew that the grassland was facing an unprecedented and urgent situation.
When one powerful tribe after another, such as the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Khitan, Tuyuhun, Xi, and Xia, fell before the iron cavalry of Dahua and before their guns, the vast grassland was no longer vast.
Either like the Turks, Xue Yantuo, etc., they will fight against Dahua to the end and eventually die.
Or, choose to submit and become a part of this powerful empire.
They did not believe in the constitution of the Han people in the Central Plains, but when there was no better choice, they could only come with uneasiness.
It's just that the two of them are a little too optimistic.
Zhang Chao was indeed very pleased that the two were willing to take the initiative to ask for the feudal princes, but this did not mean that Zhang Chao was really willing to let the two of them divide the Mobei melon into their own fiefdoms.
There is still a big difference between a vassal state and a vassal state, and there is a lot of responsibility for paying some taxes to the imperial court, but at the same time, it also means that you can enjoy a lot of corresponding powers when you join the large system of the empire.
"The specific affairs of the feudal princes are in charge of the Imperial Parliament's House of Nobles, and the specific matters of the division of the two secretaries will be entrusted to President Wei."
Zhang Chao smiled and changed the words, established the matter, and put it aside for the time being.
He agreed to the request of the two khans to be divided into vassals, but he did not immediately divide the two khanates of Mobei directly to the second khanates.
Qi Bige was stunned, not understanding what was wrong.
When Emperor Dahua heard that they were willing to take the initiative to change to a vassal state, shouldn't he be overjoyed, and the Golden Palace immediately agreed Why are they taking the initiative now, but Dahua Tianzi reacted like this, as if he was a little cold.
Hot face sticks to cold ass It's embarrassing now, the two of them are kneeling there, they can't get up, and they don't continue to kneel.
It's half done, what's going on On Zhang Chaolong's chair, he just smiled, waved his hand, and immediately a palace supervisor came up to let the two of them get up.
The court meeting will continue, and this matter will be discussed later.
The two nodded, hurriedly stepping aside.
Today is the revival of the three-year Zhengdan Dynasty Conference, with the participation of countless Beijing officials, local court envoys, various feudal princes, and even foreign envoys, in this case, how can the emperor talk to them about their affairs here.
The two of them felt a little relieved and hurriedly retreated to their positions.
The Hajj will continue.
The emissary of the Roman Empire, who was also Augustus of Rome, and one of the emperors of the Roman Empire, Herac, came again, and this young man, who already had the title of emperor, came to Dahua again.
But he estimates that this will be the last time he will come to Dahua, because his father is very sick and may not survive this year.
In today's Rome, it is not only his father who has the title of emperor, but also his brother and him.
The empire had three emperors, and if his father died, his brothers would rule Rome together.
Herac traveled to the East many times and had a deep understanding of the power of the Great Chinese Empire.
Herac was not the eldest son of the emperor, and he was able to obtain the title of emperor because of the help of her mother.
When his father was seriously ill, he insisted on coming to China, in fact, he wanted to get the full support of Emperor Dahua.
For the Roman Empire, he had his own ideas.
He hoped that the Roman Empire would return to its former glory and that it would once again become the hegemon of the Mediterranean.
So he came this time to seek that Dahua could express his support for him.
He hoped that when he returned to China this time, he would be able to convince his father to let him and his brother divide the east and west.
The empire was divided between east and west, and the two emperors ruled one side each.
He himself was even willing to make some concessions and govern the eastern part of the empire, including Egypt, Asia Minor, Armenia and other regions, and leave Constantinople and other places to his brother to govern.

This is similar to the division of the east and west of Rome back then, but under the division of the east and west at that time, the eastern emperor ruled on the side of Constantinople, and the western emperor governed the Roman side.
Herac was dressed in a purple robe and held a two-headed eagle scepter.
Greetings to Emperor Dahua.
Then a gift list was presented, and the gift list was very long, and the gift was not light.
From all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, to all kinds of fur and rare birds, etc., and even many slaves.
There is also a handwritten letter from the old emperor.
The tone of the old emperor is very respectful, and now Dahua has become a veritable center of the world, the number one power today.
Whether it is the emerging Arabia, or the old Rome, as well as the Franks, Visigoths and other countries among the barbarians, none of them has the strength and influence as strong as today's Dahua.
All countries have to give Dahua some face.
Even Dahua's arms trade has been done all over the sea, and which country doesn't want to buy some Dahua's ordnance.
Not to mention the fine silks, porcelain, tea, cane sugar, paper, spices, and even ironware that came from the East.
Emperor Heraclius created a new dynasty of the Roman Empire, but he finally resisted Persia, and later beat Persia with the help of the Tang Dynasty, but who knew that it was the damned Arabs who picked up Persia in the end.
Heraclius' war with the Arabs can be described as more losses than defeats, and the result is not guaranteed.
If it weren't for Dahua's support in the middle, the Roman Empire would have lost all of Armenia.
Rome wanted to maintain the situation, especially since he was about to die, and his two sons would rule Rome together, and Emperor Heraclius wanted to maintain his precious friendship with Dahua.
Heraclius gave Zhang Chao a lot of gifts, and then offered to borrow more loans from Dahua to buy more ordnance, ships, and even artillery gunpowder.
He was ready to reinforce the Roman army and increase its strength in order to deal with the increasingly tense situation in Armenia.
Of course, Rome had already borrowed several loans from Dahua before and after, and the amount was very large.
In order to get the last loan, the Romans even leased the canal and Cyprus to Dahua, and mortgaged the canal customs duties to Dahua, who collected the taxes on his behalf.
Now that the previous debt has not been repaid, and Rome wants to borrow new debt, things are not so easy.
Heraclu is worthy of a generation of heroes, even if he is old and faceless by the Arabs, he still has courage.
In order to help his sons keep the family business in the future, he boldly proposed a cooperation plan this time.
He opened more than a dozen Mediterranean coastal ports of the Roman Empire to Dahua, established the Chinese Concession, and then directly transferred the customs of these ports to Dahua, and Dahua collected customs duties on his behalf until the debts were paid.
Even Heraclius took the initiative to raise the interest rate on the loan a little.
For loans, for Dahua's ordnance and warships, Heraclius also fought hard.
These very attractive loan conditions made Zhang Chao very impressed, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Of course, in fact, these funds do not need to be borrowed by the Dahua court, these loans are made by the Dahua court to make some credit guarantees, and then organize major banks and business groups to provide funds to borrow.
A borrowing committee was formed to raise money for borrowing, which was also led by the imperial court to ensure that the money lent by each family was recovered.
The imperial court did not need to pay for it itself, but if the money was lent to Rome, it would immediately be transferred to the imperial court's ordnance superintendent, shipyard, firearms bureau, etc., and converted into foreign trade ordnance orders.
The money has not left Dahua, and Dahua's military enterprises can still get a large number of orders.
With thirteen Mediterranean port concessions and customs duties as collateral, Dahua did not have to worry about Rome not being able to pay back in the end, unless they were captured by the Arabs, or destroyed by the barbarians.
However, theoretically, Rome could not really be destroyed, no matter how bad it was.
After all, Zhang Chao knows that the Eastern Rome in history lasted for thousands of years, and it was not until it was destroyed by the Ottomans.
"Dear Augustus, I can't find a reason to refuse this request from Emperor Heraclius."
Herac's face was beaming.
But the Arab emissaries were not pleased.
What the hell did Heraclius and Herrac father and son fight, who doesn't know.
Now Dahua agreed to their huge request for a loan, and from then on, Dahua's ordnance warships would continue to be transported to the Mediterranean, giving the Romans great support.
"Dear Emperor Dahua, our caliph also has a gift for Dahua and His Majesty the Emperor, as well as a handwritten letter from the caliph."
Zhang Chao's face was calm.
The chamberlain took the gift list and letter and presented it to Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao opened it and browsed it.
After reading the letter, Zhang Chao's face was full of waves, but his heart was very comfortable.
The Arabs also had to take out loans from Dahua and buy Dahua's warships and ordnance.
Rome and Arabia want to engage in an arms race, but they all come to Dahua to take out loans to buy ordnance, this kind of thing, Zhang Chao really likes. t1706231537:
