Chapter 907 A Guest from the Far North

If a country wants to have a long history, then please put down the swords and guns, put away the blood, and only by treating everyone equally, will it become a nation if it truly integrates. I don't know who said this, Zhao Yougong has always admired this remark, only a true wise man can see through the surface and speak directly about the essence. Putting down knives and guns is not about letting go of violence, but not using knives and guns as the ultimate weapon, because violence can never make a country last forever. Only when you are truly integrated can you be truly successful, so immigration is the best way to do it. If a nation is no longer divided into Jews and ******, but has a common belief and a common pursuit of interests, then it will naturally become a whole. Zhao Yougong doesn't know if his immigration strategy is correct, and perhaps only future generations are qualified to judge. But for now, Zhao Yougong must persevere, and if he wants to completely integrate the Uighurs and Goryeo into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and become a part of Chinese civilization, he must do it equally, no matter what method is used, so that everyone's interests become more consistent.

Whether it is the Goryeo people, the Chang'an people, or the Xixia people, people are just trying to live better, if they can live peacefully, who wants to leap on the horse and fight on the battlefield? No one in this world wants to die, and life is the most precious thing. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if Japan had treated those other people like they had transformed Northeast China when Japan invaded China in the future, would China's resistance still be so fierce? The answer is probably something that many people don't want to admit, that throughout the ages, all the rebellions in human history have been made for survival, and no matter what kind of rebellion they have, they are just for the betterment of life. We sadly find that the so-called nation, the so-called state, these ******** things are so fragile. Zhao Yougong hopes that his plan can be successfully implemented, and after a few decades, when all the people speak the same language and pursue the same interests, they will gradually be pinched together, even if there will be wars and chaos in the future, it will only be a whole division and integration, and it will definitely not be completely divided. It will never be like the Roman Empire, which flourished and fell and then completely divided into states.

In fact, the court has a lot of complaints about saving Goryeo, after all, most of the people in this era still have the idea of **** Shangguoer and other untouchables, but Zhao Yougong holds power in his hands, and he is too lazy to see this group of pedantic people. Twenty years later, when these people saw the benefits of Goryeo's reciprocation, they could understand what they were doing now. With the advent of late autumn, the weather is much more refreshing, a rare leisure day, Zhao Yougong lying on the bank of the Cai River, quietly admiring the beautiful autumn of Bianliang, not far from the pavilion, the teacher wears a light green gauze skirt, caressing the piano and music. Last month, university halls were built in Daejeong, Hoyyeong, Pyongyang, and Hanyang, and a large number of talented people rushed to these places to teach. The construction of a university hall to popularize the Chinese language, and at the same time let the locals slowly get used to the selection of the imperial court was Zhao Yougong's first plan. In the next few years, the Chinese language will be further promoted, and the Japanese may not have enough strategic vision in later generations, but the unification of the language is definitely the most correct thing to do. Language is often more lethal than knives and guns. It's a pity that the Japanese didn't last long, and if they could last for more than 20 years and influence a generation, then the Japanese ambition would have really succeeded. Zhao Yougong felt that the situation he was facing was much easier than that of the Japanese, at least with the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no problem in maintaining the stability of the dynasty for fifty years.

At the end of the song, the teacher raised her head happily and looked at the man by the river, but soon, she restrained her smile, and a trace of depression appeared on her face. Carrying a group of powder, stepping on the soft grass and walking over slowly, seeing that the man didn't know what to think and was so engrossed, he couldn't help but hum, "Official, you are so insincere, you said that you would accompany the slave family out to relax, but at the end of the song, you all took it as a deaf ear." ”

The sound is like a yellow warbler, which is angry and endearing. Zhao Yougong blinked, let him be thick-skinned, and he couldn't avoid a burst of embarrassment at this time, "You blame this king, listening to the teacher's song, as if he turned back to the top of the clouds, he only wanted to reminisce about it, but he didn't want to wake up." ”

The teacher's cold temperament is estimated to be difficult to change even in a lifetime, but listening to Zhao Yougong's obvious lack of sincerity, she was still amused. In fact, to have the current life, the teacher is already very satisfied, when His Royal Highness carried her from the riverside courtyard, all the way through Bianhe Street, how much courage does it take? There were so many things that happened back then, there was no need to care about who was right and who was wrong, as long as she was happy now, because this was the life she wanted in Master Li. Tilting his head, lying on the man's chest, watching the sky and clouds disappear, constantly changing, "Official, if we will live every day in the future, how good it is now, unrestrained, and without troubles." ”

Shishi knew that he was delusional, because as soon as he returned to the Chu Palace, he had to return to his original life. Zhao Yougong doesn't want such a life, but step by step to today, what kind of life to live is no longer something he can decide. The quiet and serene autumn, the breeze blows, bringing a bit of clarity. Such a day is destined to not be able to continue, the horse's hooves in the distance trampled, only to see Yang Zaixing stop the horse in the pavilion, and speed up his pace to the river, "Your Highness, there are a few Siberian barbarians in the house, saying what they represent, and they have come to see the lord of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

In the eyes of the Great Song people, although there are many Siberian tribes, it is difficult to distinguish them from their physiognomy, so as long as people come from the north, Yang Zaixing has always been collectively called the Siberian barbarians. However, the Siberian tribes at this stage are uncivilized barbarians to the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that Zhao Yougong is very puzzled, these Siberian barbarians also know how to come to **** to pay tribute? Thinking of this, Zhao Yougong smiled, and both Master Li and Yang Zaixing were a little confused by Zhao Yougong's weird smile.

"Official, what are you laughing at?" The division really can't understand that it's not a good thing for Siberians to come to pay tribute, but now the imperial court has increased its control over Siberia, and even built Phoenix and Tula at all costs. Zhao Yougong shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to pull the master up, "You may not know the reason for this, the master doesn't know, Shao Lie, you should know a little bit, now in Siberia, but there are many tribes, the larger principalities are not as big as our county, one by one, and they are still living a life of exploiting the peasants, this king really can't figure it out, what do they have to talk about with this king?" ”

Listening to Zhao Yougong's explanation, Yang Zaixing also scratched his head, he had heard Lin Chong introduce the situation in Siberia before, most of the people who were active there were some nomads, and some even lived a life of drinking blood, they were simply a group of uncivilized barbarians. With such a group of people, it is not easy to touch Bianliang City, and I really don't understand what they want to do. Approaching the evening, Zhao Yougong and his party returned to the palace slowly, and before they got off the horse, they saw a few people standing at the door. Although he has lived in Bianliang for a long time, although he has seen a lot, he obviously lacks enough understanding of these Siberians. I saw a few men with fluffy hair and animal skin clothes, and they could smell a smell from a distance, and the master suddenly frowned, and glanced at Zhao Yougong with beautiful eyes, which seemed to mean that he had finally seen the indigenous people of Siberia. There was a Han man standing next to a few Siberians, he was anxiously explaining something, looking very anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, for a while, those Siberians fought in a row, bowed to Zhao Yougong, who was walking in front, and said some chattering words, the Han man next to him held his forehead, looking like he was about to faint, my God, let you worship, don't block the gate of the palace, it's really sad.

Zhao Yougong obviously didn't understand what these people said, but he could guess it, made a gesture, motioned for a few people to stand up quickly, and then called the Han people next to him, "What's your name, what's going on?" ”

The man walked over and saluted respectfully, and hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the villain's name is Lu Qi, and he pours some furs and medicinal herbs on weekdays, two months ago, the villain went to the town west of Baikal to collect mountain goods, and met a local duke, who seems to be called Minushin and the Duke of Immortality, who claims to be a Tatar, and the predecessor is my former Tang capital protector, saying that he wants to return to the Great Song Dynasty and let the villain help lead the retainers to Bianliang." ”

Zhao Yougong heard that one head and two big, the Tang Dynasty did set up a capital in the north, and a large area of Siberia also belonged to the four towns of the north capital and the four towns, as for the duke, Zhao Yougong had never heard of it. Especially the so-called Tatars, after hundreds of years of changes, the Tatars have already divided into many branches, and the devil knows if the duke is really a Tatar. However, if these people ask for something, there must be a reason, "Lu Qi, since you can go to the local area to collect mountain goods, I guess you can understand what they say, this king gives you a task to find out the ins and outs of why they came here, and when you find out, you can come to see this king again." ”

Lu Qi nodded busily, but his face was not very good-looking, because he was not very proficient in the local language, and if he wanted to figure it out, he had to rely on even guessing. Several Siberian natives stared at each other, because they couldn't understand what His Highness Zhao was saying at all, and they were afraid that they had done something unpleasant, so they surrounded Lu Qi and begged him for help. Zhao Yougong shook his head with a wry smile, and led his master into the palace, Siberia is complicated here, where there are many tribes, many nationalities, languages cannot be communicated, and there are all kinds of things. It wasn't until the end of the hour that the people of the palace had finished their dinner, and Lu Qi led a few dull natives to meet Zhao Yougong with a bitter gourd face. In the evening, everyone had nothing to do, and Master Li was also very interested in these natives, so he stayed with Xiao Zhiyun.

After Lu Qi's narration, Zhao Yougong finally got a general idea, it turned out that these people were from a place called the Principality of Minusinsk, and the current Grand Duke of the Principality was named Aktus. This Minusinsk is active in the lower reaches of the Yenisei River all year round, mainly fishing and hunting, and there are quite a few plains to the south of the principality, so some villages are mainly farming. He can hunt and grow crops, so for more than 200 years, although the Khakassians and Yakuts have often attacked and harassed him, he has lived a good life. But in recent years, as the Slavs have moved closer to the Yenisei River, life in the Minusinsk principality has not been easy. In ten years, the two Grand Dukes of the Principality were plundered by the Slavs no less than 30 times, and the principalities mostly lived on their own sufficiency. If nothing else, after the Slavs extended their influence to the Yenisei River, sooner or later the Minusinsk would have to be incorporated into one of the Slavic principalities. However, the sudden emergence of **** in the area of Lake Baikal in Siberia brought hope to the Minusinsk people. Aktus is the ninth generation heir of the Berderick family, and there is a genealogy in the family, which records the history of the family, so Aktus has regarded himself as a Tang man for generations, and claims to be a member of the **** Shangguo, but Aktus has been growing up since he was a child, except for knowing that the **** Shangguo is in the south, he doesn't know anything else.

It can be said that Aktus had already had the intention of making friends with ****, but there was no way, so Luqi went to Minusinsk to collect mountain goods, which was considered to give Aktus a chance. After bribing Lu Qi with a lot of money, Arctus found a few capable retainers and came to Bianliang with the so-called local specialties thousands of miles away, the purpose of which was to return to the embrace of the **** kingdom.

Xiao Zhiyun pursed her lips and kept smiling, her eyes constantly looking at a few Minusinsk retainers who were restless. That guy named Aktus is really a little smart, and at the same time **** the kingdom, but the Great Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are 108,000 miles apart, if it weren't for Zhao Yougong's hard work and strong military force over the years, I'm afraid that the name of the **** kingdom of the Great Song Dynasty would have been taken away by Da Liao or Jurchen. However, Aktus was right, now that the cities of Tula and Phoenix were established one after another, it was only a matter of time before the Siberian army planned to move westward, and it would be good if the peaceful pacification of Minusinsk could be used as an example for the other ministries to see.

The master shook his head, it was really a bit ridiculous, she had seen the things brought by these retainers, and there were probably few things that were really valuable. Lu Qi obviously also understood the thoughts of the women in the palace, and explained with a bitter face, "Your Highness, in fact, it is not easy to come up with those things, villain, this Arctus is still very sincere." ”

Zhao Yougong pouted noncommittally, he didn't care about any gifts, but he was still very interested in this Minusinsk principality, the Yenisei River is a strategic location, and it is a matter of time before he controls Siberia and the Yenisei River, so it is definitely a good thing that Aktus can return to his own territory. After thinking about it, he smiled at Lu Qi, "You explain to these people, this king agreed to the request of the Duke of Arctus, but they must do what this website requires, the young and strong people in the clan will be incorporated into the army, and the descendants will learn Chinese, of course, this king will also order the Siberian side to meet the needs of the principality as much as possible." ”

Lu Qi felt that this was not a problem at all, and that the Tatars had a reason to refuse? His Highness's conditions are too good. (To be continued.) )
