Songtsen Gampo¡¯s face was uncertain, and Zhao Chen¡¯s faint smile always appeared in front of his eyes.
It seems that everything he owns has been seen through under Zhao Chen¡¯s eyes.
"But we can't continue like this. What Tubo sold to the Tang Dynasty were life-threatening things, such as cattle and sheep, and some very rare items in their territory. But what did the Tang Dynasty sell to them?" It's just some tea leaves and silk that are not very useful.
What they drink here is milk tea from cows and sheep. The tea is used to aid digestion, but it is not particularly useful, because the people of Tubo work very hard every day, so they digest it naturally. The silk is completely useless. Are you not afraid of freezing to death when uploading silk on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
They all wear mink leather, which prioritizes practicality, but what Datang sells is tea and silk.
Songtsen Gampo knew that this was Zhao Chen's instruction and deliberately only sold these things. The bicycles from the Tang Dynasty before, as well as the armors from the Tang Dynasty that he saw, or the important agricultural planting technology and waterwheel technology, not a single one!
"These things are sold to Tubo, but they are of no use to Tibet at all."
"What did the officials from the Tang Dynasty say?"
Songtsen Gampo asked.
The courtier behind him whispered: "Wang, those Tang people said that bicycles and equipment are not included in the list of items for mutual trading. Chang'an gave them a list. Except for the items in the list, they are not allowed to sell with us."
"Okay, Zhao Chen, I really have you."
A flash of determination flashed in Songtsen Gampo¡¯s eyes. If this continues, Tubo may suffer heavy losses from this mutual market.
"You send someone to the Tang Dynasty to see what they mean."
"yes."
Songtsan Gampo said again: "The emphasis is on the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty values ??this Prince Consort very much. Sometimes he obeys Zhao Chen's words. The key lies in him, as long as he speaks."
The courtier behind him hesitated and said, "King, what if he doesn't let go?"
"Don't let go? I, Tubo, am not someone to be bullied."
Songtsen Gampo clenched his fist: "In addition to negotiations, there is also war!"
"I know," the minister hesitated, "King, do you want Lu Dongzan to go?"
Songtsen Gampo nodded: "Let him go. I borrowed his name last time and let him go this time. However, Zhao Chen was vaguely aware of it and doubted my identity."
"yes."
Behind him, the ministers went down, while Songtsen Gampo looked at the Hushi District in front, with a gloomy expression on his face: Zhao Chen, whether there will be peace or war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, it all depends on you!
In the sky in front of him, Zhao Chen's calm smile seemed to appear again, and he waved the folding fan gently in his hand.
¡¡
Huiyin Mountain!
"kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
The soldiers of Baekje and Silla once again charged together. Countless soldiers fell in this area, and both sides were furious.
This is the war that Baekje and Silla have fought countless times. As two small countries south of Goguryeo, they are stuck on the Korean Peninsula. They are destined to annex each other if they want to develop. Huiyin Mountain is also an area they compete for.
Silla is the predecessor of Korea. During the Tang Dynasty, it was located on the right side of the Korean Peninsula, while Baekje was on the left. Instead, Goguryeo was entrenched in the three eastern provinces and some areas to the north.
The war between Baekje and Silla has been going on for a long time. Sometimes Baekje has the upper hand, and sometimes Silla has the upper hand.
It was the same this time. After fighting for a day and withdrawing his troops, countless corpses were left behind.
A general with blood on his armor walked into the camp and paid homage to the Queen of Silla.
"Queen."
The queen's face was full of solemnity: "It seems that this time we cannot attack for a long time. Baekje has been against us, Silla, trying to annex Silla. Goguryeo in the north is also eyeing us. Silla's situation is really extremely difficult."
Within the camp, all the elite civil servants and generals of Silla are here.
"Baekje regards us, Silla, as its number one enemy, and we have a winner and a loser. Do you have any ideas for a permanent solution?"
A courtier hesitated for a moment, then stepped out and said, "Queen, why don't you send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Datang?"
"Yes, I heard before that the Tang Dynasty's unparalleled soldiers had defeated the Eastern Turks and drove the Turks back to the grassland."Last year, Tuyuhun was defeated. Compared with Silla, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, a large number of people, and strong soldiers. If we had the help of the Tang Dynasty, it would be easy to destroy Baekje. "
The queen¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°That¡¯s true, but Goguryeo in the north may not agree to Tang¡¯s intervention.¡±
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is entrenched to the north of us and also to the east of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty definitely wants to attack Goguryeo and must have such intention. I think if we send envoys to lobby, there may be a chance."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, as long as our Silla is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and rely on the power of the Tang Dynasty, our Silla will be safe and sound."
The Queen of Silla nodded: "Okay, then, who should we send?"
An old minister said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, your mission to the Tang Dynasty is a very important one. You must have a royal relative. You also need to arrange for old and solemn ministers to follow you, as well as the gifts and guards you need to carry. All these must be prepared." appropriate."
The Queen of Silla pondered for a moment: "I do have a candidate."
Soon, on the second day, the news came back to the Silla capital. A group of soldiers protected the Silla envoy and headed north, preparing to go to Datang via Goguryeo.
And this news was also detected by Baekje.
"Oh? A group of Silla envoys set out to the north?"
The King of Baekje sneered: "They must not be looking for help from Goguryeo. If I guessed correctly, they should be looking for the Tang Dynasty. How can I let them get their wish? Come and arrange a team of envoys to go to the Tang Dynasty by water to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty." To help."
Soon, a group of Baekje envoys also set off.
¡¡
Not far from the Korean Peninsula, there are four long and narrow islands in the east, running southwest to northeast. This is Yamato.
Yamato is the predecessor of Japan. Historically, it was not until the middle and late Tang Dynasty that Yamato was defeated by the Tang Dynasty in a water battle. Only then did Yamato wake up and learn the various systems and culture of the Tang Dynasty. There were envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also had Jianzhen's eastward journey. Yamato then gradually carried out reforms, moved towards the feudal system, and changed its name to Japan.
Before that, it was always called Yamato, so that¡¯s how the Yamato nation came to be.
At this moment, Yamato is still in the Asuka Era. Prince Shotoku has just ascended the throne and is implementing various central reforms in an attempt to centralize power while weakening the power of local nobles.
Although it is peaceful on the surface, it is turbulent secretly, and many nobles will not sit still and wait for death.
At this time, Prince Shotoku was in Nara, and the nobles to the west were severely oppressed.
At this moment, the Yanagawa family in Mita Mountain.
Yanagawa Ichiro is sitting here, listening to the report of the servant outside.
"Chief, Prince Shotoku wants us to hand over control of the land to the east. Should we hand it over or not?"
Yanagawa Ichiro slowly opened his eyes: "Prince Shotoku is so powerful that the surrounding families are forced to join him, but as long as someone rises up and responds, what will Prince Shotoku do?"
"But sir, we don't have that strength."
Yanagawa Ichiro said in a deep voice: "We don't have it, but other countries do. I heard something from merchants going to Silla before, saying that besides Silla and Baekje, there is an extremely huge country called Tang Dynasty is more powerful than Silla, we can seek their help."
