Wang Jin, deputy director of the Western Region Intelligence Station of the Tang Dynasty Jinzuo Academy, was also the first group of Tang Dynasty spies to come out of the Jinzuo Academy. He had more than ten people. When he graduated, he went to Central Asia to establish the farthest intelligence station in the Tang Dynasty. In the following years, their intelligence circle expanded from Persia to Dashi and even Europe. Even Egypt and Central Asian countries were within their intelligence monitoring range.

When Wang Xuance arrived in the Western Regions, he received great help from it, allowing him to enjoy the richest intelligence resources, so that his work could be carried out smoothly in Central Asia. It can be said that the merits of the Western Regions Intelligence Station of the Tang Dynasty could not be brought by one or two strokes. Moreover, some of them even depreciated themselves and dressed as people from barbarian countries, or vendors or migrant workers, checked and controlled territories between Central Asia and Europe, and turned everything between the Tang Dynasty and Europe into written records and maps. Now, there are no less than ten pictures in the Sixth Institute, one more detailed than the other, which makes the Tang Empire's understanding of the Western world deepen.

I invited Wang Jin to sit down, and I personally served Wang Jin and took a sip of the fragrant tea. Wang Jin sighed slowly with a very satisfied expression. Seeing me looking at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly. "I haven't been able to drink the good tea from our Tang Empire for a long time. Those vendors and tea from the Western Regions can even be exchanged for the same weight of gold, as well as those glass products, which are even sought after by the rich people of the Western Regions. There are always VIP guests. I took it out and showed it..." Wang Jin looked proud and described to me the popularity of various goods from the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. Needless to say, silk is more important, and silk is also exchanged for gold of equal weight.

The most precious one is a glass mirror, a mirror about half a foot square. If it is transported to Central Asia, it can be exchanged for half a tower wheel gold. If it can be transported to the Byzantine Empire and the areas west of it, it can be exchanged for at least one tower wheel gold, or countless wealth.

Among them, a half-foot square mirror was sold to the Frank Kingdom in Western Europe through the vendors of the Tang Dynasty. It was actually exchanged for the gold of the Five Taluntes and obtained the title of the nobles of the Frank Kingdom. The nobles in the Frank Kingdom were crazy about this. They all hoped that the merchant could bring them such a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, on the way back to the country, this satisfied merchant was killed by a group of Western barbarians and thieves in the Danube area. The property was plundered. However, several bodyguards in his area escaped by chance and fled back to the sphere of influence of the Tang Empire in Central Asia. This news spread half a month before his return to China.

From this we can see how popular goods from the Tang Empire are in the West. Hearing this, I was so angry that I smoked in seven orifices and slapped on the desk angrily: "It's outrageous. My businessman from the Tang Dynasty will actually suffer this experience on the barbarian territory. Could it be that there is no king's law in those places?"

Wang Jin smiled bitterly and said, "What can be the kingly laws in those places? Wars are all the time. It is even more chaotic than Central Asia. Today is an alliance with this one, and tomorrow is another fight with this one. In short, it is afraid that it will be a little more messy than when we were in the Warring States Period. Even if the Frank kingdom is a kingdom, it is still in chaos. Today, this princes fights another, tomorrow that princes..."

Wang Jin is worthy of being the elite selected by this young master back then. He has been wandering between Central Asia and Europe for many years and recorded many events he heard and saw in detail, which made me understand the chaotic history of Western barbarians during this period.

As the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germans, a number of barbarian countries emerged one after another. A large number of kingdoms such as Frank, Lombard, Odoac, Burgundy, and Visigoth were established. Wars continued between kingdoms, among which the Anglo-Sakoxun and Frank kingdoms existed for a relatively long time.

As a Germanic Frankish group, they defeated the Gaul army more than a hundred years ago and established the rule of the Melovin dynasty by Clovi. Through alliance with the Roman Catholic Church, Clovi occupied all the territory of the Roman Empire in Gaul.

With the continuous expansion of the Frankish Kingdom, a hundred years ago, it conquered some tribes of Burgundy, Thuringian, Bavaria and Sakosun, became the most powerful country in Western Europe at that time, and established a feudal fiefdom system. The various city-states were playing hard, and except for war, there seemed to be no more hope for peace. In addition, another group of the Germans, the Saxons, and the Jutes crawled into the British Isles and now formed seven kingdoms, and they were strangling to death on them all day long, as if war was the instinct of these Western barbarians.

I heard it, ***. This can also be called a kingdom, it is worthy of being the territory of the Western Barbarians. It seems that it is dark, too dark. But this makes me quite happy. The more they are, the more we feel comfortable. It is better for the Western Barbarians to kill each other, so that I can avoid taking action.

However, things will never be as beautiful as imagined. Although the Western barbarians fought against each other, there were actually restrictions. In other words, they all knew that they should fight under the conditions of preserving their strength. Fights of hundreds and nearly a thousand people occurred from time to time, but the battle of destroying the country with more than 10,000 people seemed to make it difficult for them to imagine. This is understandable. The Western barbarians had no strength at all and had no ability to launch such a large war.

"However, this is really worrying. My Tang Dynasty vendors were plundered from them. Could it be that they ignore them locally?" I said angrily. This is really annoying. Yes, I am a deadly hard-working member of the Tang Empire, a hard-core supporter of the Tang Empire, a fanatical executive and believer of the global integration of the nation. How can I not be angry when I hear this news?!

What else is not easy to grab? Don’t say you are grabbing tea, even if you are grabbing silk or porcelain, I will at most express my regret and reserve the right to pursue the next step of prosecution. However, these guys actually dare to grab the source of goods from my master’s family? Well, although I didn’t grab our products, the problem is that he has violated my master’s interests, which may make merchants from the Tang Dynasty or the Western Regions scared and unwilling to send our goods to the west. In that case, wouldn’t our glass and mirrors make less money and money?

This is a big deal, and it is related to the thousands of years of plans of the Fang family chaebol in the Tang Dynasty, and the impact of the Fang family chaebol group on global trade. This is a bit hateful. According to Wang Jin's words, the impact of this matter is too bad. Although the preciousness of products such as glass and mirrors and their impact on trade was announced from one side, the problem is that it is very likely that some Tang merchants will lose the courage to fight the West. This is not good, which makes me angry.

"The lower officials know one thing. The place where the merchant was killed was within the territory of the Duchy of Bavaria. Although Lord Wang was quite dissatisfied with this matter, the problem is that after all, we are still separated from the Duchy of Bavaria, the Byzantine Empire, and several barbarian countries whose names are unknown. If we want to provoke this matter, is it too big, so we can only send envoys to blame. However, when the lower officials return, the envoys have not yet returned." Wang Jin said in a pleasing manner.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I will settle this account with them in the future. By the way, have you ever brought any news when you come back this time?" I nodded, put this aside in advance, and asked about the main business first.

Wang Jin took out a thick envelope from his arms and respectfully handed it to me: "Sir, please check it out. This is what Lord Wang ordered the officials to hand it over to the Lord."

I took a deep breath of the newspaper and took the heavy envelope. It was rare and rare. From Central Asia to Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Empire, it was probably thousands of miles away. Just by looking at the thickness of the envelope, you can tell that the thickness of the letter here is almost equal to a book. How much time and energy does it take to write it? This shows from another aspect Wang Xuance respects me and his conscientious attitude.

After taking it, I did not open it immediately, but asked about the situation of Wang entering the Western Regions. Over the past period of time, Dashi and the Central Asian coalition forces have held many confrontations, which can be said to be mutually defeated and the war is in a stalemate. The Tang Dynasty's tens of thousands of elite expedition forces, which have been through many battles, have become a powerful military force in Central Asia.

Whenever they fight, their existence is as if the glory of the God of Victory will always shine on the flag of the Tang Dynasty Expeditionary Force. The most successful battle was the great defeat of the Persian and Central Asian coalition forces last year. The 10,000 elite Tang soldiers who guarded the retreat of the army allowed the defeated soldiers to be defeated and were listed in the middle of the valley with two thousand Modao hands to guard the passage.
