229 Another five-year covenant
“…… I'll need to talk to the elders in the community to decide, they're not all here, and they need to be summoned. ”
Xi Luosa has surrendered in his heart, and the conditions offered by this Song official are indeed very generous, and it is nothing more than this for his own son. Summoning the clansmen is just a procedure, and no one will object to it if they have a good brain.
"Yes, you can decide the place of the meeting, you don't need to tell me, if necessary, you can send troops to ensure your safety. However, I suggest that it is best to go to the vicinity of Huangzhou City, because we have to hurry, and our official has a lot of other things to deal with, so it is impossible to delay too long because of your family's affairs. By the way, I have a small piece of advice, which is not to make too complicated oath activities. "Once the initiative is in his hands, Hong Tao has to press step by step, so that it will appear more real.
"How can it be done, when the time comes, we will witness the oath with the eagle in the sky, so that the gods will hear it, and whoever disobeys will be punished by the gods." No matter how scheming and good at learning he is, he also has natural limitations, and faith is his weakness.
"It's not that I don't respect your habits, it's that the activity doesn't make any real sense. I don't know if you've heard of the Rokutani, they also signed an oath with the Uighurs to fight against the Xia together, but what happened? In the end, it will be their former allies who will give them the fatal blow. The oath has been waiting to be violated since the beginning of its establishment, and you will be the leader of the glorious clan in the future, and you must not believe that the oath can be guaranteed, so that your clan will follow in the footsteps of the Rokuya tribe sooner or later. ”
It's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to take an oath, but it doesn't make any sense to do so. The Nara Department is a group of people who are destined to follow themselves, and they must slowly approach themselves in terms of thinking, and the transformation begins now.
As for the affairs of the Rokutani Division, they were all seen from the official documents of the imperial court. In order to come to Huangzhou to take office, he almost read all the official documents of the past few years, and read everything that he could read and couldn't read, so the official documents could not be said to be completely useless.
This tribe was also a branch of Tibet in the past, and it may still be related to the Ngari tribe. After the death of King Gesar, they did not continue to stay in the Hehuang region, but crossed the Qilian Mountains to live in Liangzhou in the north. However, it was attacked by Li Jiqian, the leader of the Qiang tribe at that time, and both sides needed the development of the rich land of Liangzhou.
At first, the Rokutani Department had the upper hand, and even Li Jiqian was killed. However, as the Xia grew stronger, the Rokuya tribe slowly lost the upper hand, so they joined forces with the Uighur tribes in the west to defeat the Qiang once again.
However, as soon as the Qiang withdrew from the battle for Liangzhou, the Uighurs had another twisted mind, and they suddenly tore up the covenant and attacked the unbelievable Rokugubu from behind.
As a result, this large tribe of more than 100,000 people was crippled at once, and the remaining remnants could only retreat into the Qilian Mountains and live a hard life that was not as good as the Dialuo tribe.
It was almost impossible to regain strength, as the Xia kingdom was established shortly thereafter, and the Uighurs were defeated and Liangzhou was captured. The ethnic group of Bian Ma's wife is said to be the remnants of the Liugu tribe, and because of their hatred of the Western Xia, they chose to take refuge in the Song people.
"I know the leader of the Rokugu Tribe, he led people to find me in Datong Mountain two years ago, and wanted to join forces to go west together, but I can't afford to take on more people's food and grass. Then may I ask my lord, what else can make people keep their promises other than oaths? ”
Hong Tao is to the point, Xi Luosa actually has dealings with the Liugu Department, which is invisibly equivalent to admitting Hong Tao's statement, but he is not too willing to deny the conventions that his ancestors have followed for generations.
"Strength, only strength is what can make others abide by the agreement and dare not be dishonest. To say something you don't like to hear, it's impossible for the two of us to sign an alliance now, because the strength is not equal. My Emperor and I can kill you and your people at any time, but you can't do anything to restrain me. In the case of unequal strength, there is no fair and lasting covenant. So don't think about those illusory things, do the things in front of you well, and increase your strength step by step. When you can control the fate of your own race, we can sit down face to face, no one can force anyone, no one can threaten anyone, and talk about the covenant fairly, do you think it will be better? ”
The words that praise people Hong Tao are very obscure, but the words that hurt people come out of his mouth as freely as breathing. Give people hope, then crush it with their own hands, and then tell the other party how to rebuild, depicting a future that looks brighter, this is what Hong Tao wants to do, he wants to conquer this person psychologically first.
“…… Learn from adults, will I be stronger and faster? "I'm afraid it's the first time I've heard this kind of logic, and in addition to being sad in my heart, I really see a more real hope. In fact, he was following this man's train of thought, but he didn't realize it.
"That's what we're going to talk about, I can teach your people all kinds of ways to become strong, but you and your people also have to prove that my efforts will be rewarded. You pay, I pay, I pay, you return, we are not a master and slave relationship, but business partners, help each other, and profit at the same time. ”
It's not easy, the topic has finally turned back, and this conversation is basically over. Xi Luosa has no capital to refuse, and no reason to refuse, so he can only do it according to the conditions he prescribes, not passively, but willingly.
That's why the purpose of talking in circles is that forcing a group of people to do something will be very inefficient, and you are not very accustomed to using killing and violence to drive others, so you can only convince people with reason.
The current Xiluosa and the Ngoras are no longer forced to follow themselves as vassals, but are fighting for their own future. Don't underestimate such a small change, the result is completely different.
Xirosa walked away with his head bowed, he had always kept his head up even if he was defeated and captured, and he did not intend to bow his head to anyone but the gods. But after letting Hong Tao's broken mouth squirt, he actually felt that he was so small, as if a few random Song people could defeat the race.
Self-confidence is not easy to build, but it is easy to break, especially when it comes to a bad seed like Hong Tao who specializes in pondering people's weaknesses, it is not enough to break it once.
"If the officials really want to give them land so that he can be king, how can Your Majesty agree to such conditions?" The conversation between the two people was not kept secret, they just talked as they walked, so Lian'er, Ziju, and Zhou Yiri, the three little followers, all listened to it really well.
Lian'er didn't feel anything, she patronized and stuffed snacks into her mouth, don't look at the tattered and dirty clothes worn by the Uroros, but their yak jerky is delicious.
Zhou Zhou Ri bit her lip thoughtfully, the amount of information she said just now was too large, even if she had some understanding, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, at least she couldn't mention it in the presence of Mrs. Lian and Ziju, and she had to ask the adults in private if she had any questions.
Ziju only understood one thing, that is, the plot of the horse promising the Fan people to be kings, which is very different from the style of the horse on weekdays. Without the emperor's instructions, how could such a promise be made so easily, and the emperor would certainly not have such instructions.
"I didn't say that I would give the land of the Great Song Dynasty to the people of Fan to be called the king, Your Majesty should not forbid me to give away other people's land, you say, right?" Hong Tao smiled, patted Ziju's head, and said something similar to a tongue twister, then clamped the horse's belly between his legs and ran to the box car in front.
There are Peng Da, Wang Datou, Hu Er and the Wu family, and discussing work issues with these craftsmen is far more relaxed and comfortable than calculating, and it is more meaningful than teasing and playing with these little girls.
The Dialuo people are the descendants of the Tibetan royal family, what is Tibet? It is the Tibetans of later generations, whose ancestors have lived on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for generations. They can be said to be immune to altitude sickness, they are born plateau mountain people, walking on mountain roads like walking on flat ground, and their endurance is very good. The tolerance for the cold is also beyond ordinary people, and the temperature at night is close to freezing, and everyone is wrapped in a yak skin and lies on the ground and falls asleep.
And they have an almost instinctive reaction to the climate, alerting them to when it's going to rain and when it's going to snow.
