Chapter 744: Khorasan (2)(1/2)
Anyone who seeks to build a country and submits a letter of state will have very strict regulations.?
For example, this time, Japan submitted its letter of state and begged the Emperor of Great Zhou to agree to change the name of Japan to Japan, but in fact it had already begun to take action.
Before sending the Tang envoys out, that is, at the beginning of the first year of Jiushi, the Kingdom of Japan sent envoys to come.
However, because the two sides were in a tense period, Japan did not make a big move, but sent people to inquire about the situation, find ways, and test the attitude of the Great Zhou court. This temptation lasted for a whole year.
Later, Japan confirmed that the Emperor of Great Zhou was willing to accept their requests and could take the opportunity to improve relations.
So they sent envoys to send Tang to travel thousands of miles to Shendu...
Mina tried to establish a country in Mengchi, which was much more difficult than that of Japan.
After all, the Sassanian Persian Kingdom had long been destroyed. Mina said it bluntly that it was just a princess who lost her country, and its orthodoxy and legitimacy still need to be verified. If Mina just settled in Mengchi, it would be better to say it. But if it was founded, the wide range of involvement and complex procedures would be more difficult than changing the name of Japan. Not to mention anything else, Mina wanted to establish her legal status in Persia and gain the same status as countries such as Tochar, and would never be able to complete it by submitting a letter of nationality.
Including Wu Zetian, all aspects need to be considered.
She had to take care of the ideas of the Anxi countries. After all, the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Anxi countries was quite close.
If you rashly agree to Mina’s founding, will the Anxi countries develop resentment?
In addition, there are Turks in the ten surnames under Mengchi, so they should be treated with caution.
If Mina had a tribe and had a foothold in Mengchi, everything would be fine. But if the country was founded, would the Turks of the Ten surnames agree?
Also, is Mina loyal to the Tang Dynasty and what kind of changes will her country bring to the court?
What attitude will the great masters have towards this? Once they become dissatisfied, will they go to war with the Great Zhou court, and how will the Great Zhou court respond?
There are many things like this.
Generally speaking, if Mina wants to establish a country in Mengchi, she should first send someone to Shendu to inquire about the news and find a way, and then send an envoy to conduct temptations. After repeated consultations and continuous discussions, she will finally send an envoy to come.
But now, Mina actually brought people to Shendu without any temptation...
Yang Shouwen is a political novice, but after seeing Mina's actions, he could be sure that this was an exiled princess who was even younger than him. She didn't understand diplomatic affairs at all, and she was afraid that there were no such talents around her.
If so, why are you so reckless?
But thinking about it seems normal!
With the demise of the Sassanian Kingdom, the ministers loyal to Persia died or surrendered to the great masters. Mina was even more unlucky and displaced for many years. Later, she had to become a yellow beard and ran to Anxi to become a horse thief. How many people could be used under her?
Decades of wasted time, internal and external difficulties.
The people around Mina may be able to fight and kill, but it is far from enough to say that the country is governed and safe.
Yang Shouwen raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Li Linfu.
Li Linfu grinned bitterly, and before Yang Shouwen could speak, he said to Mina: "Miss Mi, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to deal with."
Even though he knew that Mina was a princess, it was impossible for the word "Princess" from him before it was recognized by the court.
Li Linfu said: "You have been in Mengchi for only more than a year and have tried to establish a country.
Before that, you had no connection with the court... The court has not known much about you and your tribe members so far. Besides, you have a lot to do with the founding of the country in Mengchi. It is impossible for the court to make any promises. By the way, have you ever reported to the Mengchi Protectorate's Mansion this time?"
The Mengchi Protectorate was a western region after the Tang Dynasty pacified the Western Turks Ashinahelu in the second year of Xianqing. Its capital was established by the Shangdu Protectorate, which commanded the Five Nou Shibi tribes. The capital was in Suiye City, and it had a total of the governor's offices under its jurisdiction.
The Mengchi Protectorate was dismissed in the second year of Qianfeng, and then rebuilt in the second year of Chuigong.
However, at this time, the Mengchi Protectorate was already under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate. Therefore, if Mina wanted to establish a country in Mengchi, she had to report to the Mengchi Protectorate first, and then the Mengchi Protectorate reported to the center layer by layer. After review, she was transferred to the Honglu Temple, and the Honglu Temple sent an envoy to Mengchi for investigation... This is just the first step.
There are many more programs that must be carried out step by step.
Li Linfu looked at Mina and said, "Miss Mi, this series of steps is completed. The Honglu Temple will send someone to inform you to send an envoy to bring a letter of nationality to Shendu. At that time, it will be the time to truly enthrone your national name..."
“So complicated?”
“It’s not complicated in fact.
If you really want to operate it, if you have someone in the court, you will be able to succeed in almost three to five years. However, based on my understanding of the court and the complex situation in Anxi, you will have many difficulties in establishing a country, and maybe it will take more time. After all, the court still needs to consult and discuss with the countries of Anxi and the Five Bibi tribes."
Mina suddenly felt bitter and looked at Yang Shouwen.
Jeddah also listened carefully, so he gestured and said: Yizi, is it really that troublesome?
Yang Shouwen nodded, ignored Mina, and asked Li Linfu directly: "Is there a faster way?"
"quick?"
Li Linfu said: "The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules.
If Niang Mi and his friends want to build a country, they must go step by step. How could they do it overnight? The most important thing is that they have not even taken the first step. The Mengchi Protectorate's Mansion doesn't even know their idea of building a country... Fortunately, they have not found a way yet. Otherwise, they may have become prisoners now, and attempting to rebel will be a death sentence.
but……"
"But what?"
"In fact, the first and second steps can be omitted."
"Um?"
Li Linfu smiled and said, "Don't Brother Yang know that now Mengchi Protectorate has been governed by Beiting Protectorate?"
Yang Shouwen's eyes condensed, revealing a thoughtful look.
"The best way is to directly express the center by the Beiting Protectorate.
In this way, the inspection process of Mengchi Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate can be eliminated. Since Brother Yang is familiar with Niangzi Mi and her tribe, and Yang Gong is the Protectorate of Beiting. With such a relationship, it can be at least half a year away."
Yang Shouwen really didn't know that Mengchi Protectorate was under the jurisdiction of Beiting Protectorate.
He immediately looked at Mina and whispered: "What Brother Nu said is very true. The state has its own laws and the family has its own rules.
If you want to establish a country in Mengchi, you must go through this step. My eldest brother is my sworn brother. When he finds me, I will never stand by. Moreover, my father is now the magistrate of Beiting, and he can also give you some care. I also have some acquaintances in the side of Suiye City. If you have any trouble, you can go and ask for help.
In short, before the court officially begins, it is best for you to not make any irrational actions.
Even if the Tocharians and the Five Crossbows are in trouble, you must give in first, or seek help from the Protectorate. You must never start the battle easily."
Mina's face looked a little ugly.
But she could also hear that Yang Shouwen did not deliberately shirk it. They really didn't understand anything and acted too recklessly.
"Actually, there is another way to speed up the steps."
"What's the solution?"
"Military achievements!"
"Um?"
Yang Shouwen looked at Li Linfu in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
Li Linfu said: "Now the Turkic people in Shatuzhou are in chaos, and the Turkic cavalry is ready to move.
At the end of last year, the Tubo people went north from Xiao Bolu again to plunder Shazhou... Yang Gong is now quelling the rebellion in Beiting, but I am afraid it is not easy."
"I know this."
"Brother Yang, I heard from Miss Mi that there are nearly 100,000 tribe members under her tent?"
Yang Shouwen turned his head and looked at Mina.
Mina nodded and said softly: "The nearly 100,000 tribes of Khurashan have mostly followed me to the east; in addition, I also ordered people to find those tribes of my country who are loyal to me. If I can move eastward, I can almost raise 150,000 people...
At the end of last year, Wu Zhile died and his troops were divided into pieces.
Ji Li Yuanying took the opportunity to absorb many tribe members, and there were nearly 50,000 people under his command. If they were together, there would be about 200,000 people."
"Is Uzhi strangled to death?"
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised and turned his head to look at Li Linfu.
Li Linfu nodded and said, "This is Guo Yuanzhen's achievements."
Guo Yuanzhen, the governor of Longyou? Do he dare to kill Wuzhile without permission?
As if he saw Yang Shouwen's question, Li Linfu smiled and said, "Brother Yang, don't think about it randomly. Wu Zhile died because of Guo Yuanzhen, but it was definitely not killed by Guo Yuanzhen."
"What's going on?"
"After the Bolu Rebellion of Anxi, Wuzhile's vitality was greatly damaged and he was extremely respectful to the court.
Last year, when Guo Yuanzhen went to the Anxi Protectorate's Office to inspect, Wu Zhile hurried to meet him. Guo Yuanzhen's old man was actually afraid of Wu Zhilepo. He had already expressed his support to the court to send troops to find trouble for Wu Zhile, but failed. It is estimated that Wu Zhile also heard about this, so he wanted to ask Guo Yuanzhen to beg for mercy... The old man saw that Wu Zhile was unwell, so he deliberately received Wu Zhile in the wild. In October of the middle of winter, the weather was cold and the old man Guo Yuanzhen forced Wu Zhile to talk in the snow for more than an hour... Not long after Wu Zhile returned, he died."
After hearing this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but grin and whisper: "I never thought that this Governor Guo was a tough guy."
"but……"
Li Linfu said again: "Mi Niangzi's tribe has 100,000 people. If it is in normal times, there will be trouble.
But now, Anxi is in turmoil, the Turks are rebelling and ravaging Shatuzhou. And the Tuqi Shiren is also ready to move, as if he wants to be unfavorable to the court. If Mi Niang can send troops to help Yang Gong pacify Shatu and restrain the Tuqi Shiren... "
Yang Shouwen immediately understood what Li Linfu meant and turned his head to look at Mina.
Indeed, the rule of the Beiting Protectorate is getting wider and wider.
The Bengchi Protectorate, which was originally under the Anxi Protectorate, has now been under the rule of the Beiting Protectorate. In other words, the entire Kunling Mountain Ancient Road is under the protection of the Beiting Protectorate. In such a vast area, it is indeed difficult to take into account the soldiers and horses of Tingzhou alone. If Mina can send troops, it can indeed relieve Yang Chenglie's pressure.
"Miss Mi, what do you think?"
"Can the Great Zhou court accept us in this way?"
To be continued...
