"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu princess has arrived in Beique!" Wang Dao respectfully knelt and recited.

Liu Che was already wearing the neat crown of the Son of Heaven at this time, and when he heard this, he turned around and said, "I am too often to prepare a ceremonial guard of honor, and I will go to Beique in person!" ”

"No!" Wang Dao bowed and took the order.

The Xiongnu princess came to marry, which was an important political activity for the Han monarchs and ministers.

You can imagine the scene when the BOOS of the Celestial Empire met with the Grand Commander of the Mi Emperor.

This time the Xiongnu princess married, the significance in politics is extraordinary, it indicates that at least for the time being, the Han and the Xiongnu, the two strongest countries in the world, began to merge together.

It's almost equivalent to the later generations of Emperor Mi and the Celestial Empire going to engage in G2.

One can imagine how panicked the surrounding countries must have been when they learned about this.

At that time, the alliance between Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and the Xiongnu Lao Shangshan Yu, after this marriage, will move from words to reality - within the Great Wall, the room of the crown belt, the emperor will rule it, and outside the Great Wall, the people of bow hunting, Shan Yu will rule it.

"An iron curtain is falling from the Great Wall, and it will divide civilization from barbarism...... Hehe......" Liu Che sneered at the corner of his mouth.

However, he was even happier that he was about to marry the title of the Xiongnu princess - Beihai Yanshi!

Where is the North Sea?

Probably most of the Han people of the present day are not clear.

But Liu Che was so happy that he just wanted to celebrate.

That's Lake Belga!

Moreover, according to the Xiongnu tradition, Beihai is a general term for the vast ice and snow world that includes the entire later Siberia.

"Without Sun Wu shepherding sheep, I have found better evidence for future generations to prove that Siberia has been a sacred and inalienable territory of China since ancient times......" Liu Che muttered softly.

This is probably another benefit brought by Liu Che's marriage to the Hun princess.

Although now, Siberia is a land of ice and snow. Even the Huns themselves were not looked down upon, and were used as a place of exile and exile for the defeated.

Historically, Su Wu shepherded sheep in the North Sea. It's almost like living the life of a savage.

But as a traverser, Liu Che knew that it might only be a country of ice and snow for hundreds of years. If the vast uninhabited world becomes China's territory, what kind of wealth will it bring to the Chinese people in the future?

Rich in minerals, oil, and a variety of natural resources, there is enough for future generations to enjoy for countless years.

And the vast and fertile permafrost, as long as the technology keeps up, is enough to feed hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

Of course, for the time being, that part of the North Sea is a barren land where birds don't lay eggs.

However, it is also because of this. It will be used as a dowry by the Huns!

That's right!

With a single wave of their hand, the Xiongnu took the entire Lake Belga and the vast world around it as the territory of the Beihai clan.

In other words, when the Xiongnu princess with the Han name Xia Rouge married Liu Che, the whole of Siberia became the territory of the Han family.

Of course, with tens of thousands of miles away, Liu Che could not send a single soldier to Siberia.

The current Beihai is still in the hands of the Huns. It's just that nominally, it is the dowry of the Beihai clan, and in theory, Liu Che can claim sovereignty over Siberia through Xia Rouge, who Guò married.

But that's about it.

Liu Che is still very happy!

Map the frontier. It is also a one-time expansion of almost half of China's land.

Even if it's empty, it's never been so powerful!

No emperor would think that his land area is too small!

"There will be no Siberia anymore, it's the North Sea. The North Sea of the Chinese! The North Sea of the Han people! Liu Che said to himself in his heart.

Of course, he also knew. It's just wishful thinking on his part.

Can Beihai remain within China's borders forever, and can it hold this land? It also depends on whether future generations will give it or not.

All he could do was try to maintain a thriving empire for the rest of his life.

If his descendants are not filial, what can he do but roll in the grave?

Thinking of this, Liu Che admired the rulers of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!" The integrity and backbone of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are indeed rare in all dynasties.

But so what, the descendants are not filial, the ruling class is in chaos, its own internal strife, and as a result, the Manchus are cheapened for nothing.

If you want to avoid falling into the cyclical law of history, the only way is for Liu Che to think that the only way is the industrial revolution.

And within a hundred years, it must be launched!

It's just that......

If you want to start the industrial revolution, you must have enough science students.

Chemistry, physics and mathematics all need to be developed.

But since ancient times, China has been governed by liberal arts students and science and engineering, and that will have to wait until the rise of the Celestial Empire.

Liu Che wants to change this deep-rooted concept and change customs with his own strength, and he himself feels that it is really difficult.

Therefore, he needs a stable and powerful interest group to help him move the matter forward.

It's just that...... So far, he has not found anyone or a force that can help him with this.

"I hope that with the continuous increase in the proportion of mathematics in the examination, such a political force can be cultivated......" Liu Che prayed in his heart, and he could only pray.

At this time, Wang Dao came back and replied: "Your Majesty, Taichang is ready!" ”

"Herald, I'm in the Xuanzhang De Palace!" Liu Che came back to his senses and said according to the established procedure.

The so-called Linxuan is a word unique to the Han Dynasty, which has the same meaning as that of the later kings of the Imperial Palace, but in general, it is only used in the emperor's use on occasions of heavy dà government.

"Your Majesty, this is a ritual procedure that is often drawn up...... "Wang Dao presented a silk book.

Liu Che took it and looked at it.

This time the Xiongnu princess got married, and the Huns did it very solemnly in the procedure.

There were as many as 5,000 slaves who came from the bride alone, a total of 3,000 dowry guards, 100,000 heads of cattle and sheep and other livestock, and countless rare and special products from the Western Regions.

That's a lot of money!

Even Liu Che was quite surprised!

However, Liu Che knew that this was the tradition of the Xiongnu, as a nomadic people, the Xiongnu were accustomed to marrying a large number of dowries and military strength at the same time as marrying a daughter, so as to ensure that the daughter who married in the past could have enough influence on the local political and military affairs.

Among the countries of the Western Regions, Wusun, Kangju, Loulan and other countries were indirectly controlled by the Xiongnu by this means.

It is recorded in the history books that the Wusun people were torn apart by the Huns using this trick and fell into the brink of civil war several times.

As for other countries, it is not much better.

Almost all of them became puppets of the Huns.

Now they want to repeat the old trick and play this trick in front of the Han family, Liu Che has only one thought: This is a gift!

When it comes to the ability to digest and assimilate foreign races, the Chinese are indeed unique in the world!

At least, during the strong period of the Han dynasty, no matter how many foreign races the Chinese dynasty ate, they could eventually turn them into diligent and loyal Han Chinese.

It's just that the Huns are playing so big, and the Han monarchs and ministers naturally can't be stingy.

As soon as this Xiongnu princess got married, she could immediately enjoy the status of a lady.

In addition, the return gift of the Han family itself is also very heavy.

10,000 pieces of silk, 3,000 catties of tea, thousands of exquisite bronze utensils, hundreds of gold utensils, in addition, five more mutual markets were licensed.

In Liu Che's view, this is actually the face of the Han monarchs and ministers.

However, with such a heavy return, it can also justifiably digest those slaves and armies who accompany the marriage.

The Yan clan's dowry guards had already been disarmed before they entered Chang'an.

All slaves and soldiers were taken over by the Shaofu.

Although nominally they are still the people of the Xiongnu princess, in fact, they will be scattered and repeated.

Shaofu has a place to house these 'unstable forces'.

And when these people settled in the Han family and became accustomed to the way of life of the Han people, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting wanted to command them from a distance of tens of thousands of miles?

Dream on!

A generation later, Liu Che believed that the descendants of these people would become loyal subjects of the Han dynasty and could pay taxes and serve the empire.

Just like the Xiongnu tribes captured by Huo Qubing in history and the Xiongnu soldiers and civilians who surrendered.

Of course, the face project is still done, at least, it has to make the Huns feel that their business is not bad, and their princess has been courteous in the Han family.

Those small means and methods in private will not begin until the return of the Xiongnu's dowry mission.

Liu Che assured that the Huns would soon know what it meant to lose their wives and soldiers!

"It's a pity, this trick can only be used once......" Liu Che sighed in his heart.

The Huns are not stupid!

Once they find out that the marriage has not had any effect, it is estimated that they will not do such a second deal in death! (To be continued......)
