Mao Dun's opinion was not adopted. Instead, he was slapped, and he was filled with indignation.
"The Great Qin is a land of tigers and wolves. If you don't listen to my advice today, I'm afraid a catastrophic day is not far away - I won't regret it until you are dead and your family is wiped out..."
Maodun's words made Touman angry and made many people in the royal court feel very embarrassed.
Modu almost pointed at his nose and scolded them for being short-sighted.
But, if you don’t resist, what should you do——
Who will fight against Zhao Ying's terrible enemy?
Now that there is an opportunity to make peace with Da Qin and exchange trade, no one can resist this temptation, including some of the tribal leaders who originally supported Maodun, and they have all kept silent about it with a tacit understanding.
This is also an attitude.
default.
The benefits of negotiating peace with Da Qin and opening up the market for negotiation can be seen with the naked eye.
Even his position as prince has become in danger. Touman Chanyu allocated nearly half of the tribe under his name and rewarded it to his second son Weiman.
On many occasions, he publicly praised his second son Weiman, who was honest, honest, smart and courageous. He was very much like himself when he was young. His intention to change the prince was almost undisguised.
If he hadn't been concerned about Mao Dun's status as the prince, as well as the more than 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, and needed a suitable excuse, Touman Chanyu would probably have been too lazy to do anything.
"Your father has already decided to change the crown prince. In the past few days, you have to walk around more with the nobles in the royal city..."
Touman's current wife, Mrs. Yan, happily held her son's big hand and warned him repeatedly.
"Never lose your etiquette in front of others..."
Weiman nodded heavily.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, I understand..."
After being suppressed by this half-brother for so many years, I am finally going to take his place!
In the past few days, Weiman felt like there was wind under his feet when he walked.
Since he took over the territory that originally belonged to his eldest brother Modu, the number of tribes under him increased, and some tribal leaders also expressed their goodwill. Even some of the veterans around his father became more respectful when they saw him.
"Brother, are you feeling better today? Please get well soon. Since you have been away during this period, a lot of things have fallen on my head, but it has made me exhausted. You know, I don't like these vulgar things. Service..."
Weiman felt that as a younger brother, it was necessary to visit his stupid elder brother.
So, when I came back from hunting, I walked around in a circle, carried a few prey, got in front of my eldest brother Moton, and pretended to vomit my bitterness. Mo Dun looked coldly and didn't bother to talk to him, just watching his clumsy performance.
Weiman soon couldn't continue acting, and even became a little angry.
He didn't expect that his stupid elder brother, even now, still doesn't realize his situation, and still thinks that he is the superior prince?
The person who is going to be a proton is about to be here!
He was too lazy to pretend.
He stood up and looked down at Mao Dun, who was still lying on the hospital bed recovering from his injuries, his voice was a little cold.
"Brother, out of the love between our brothers, I come here to advise you, don't be stubborn anymore. Your stupid opinions are just a temporary impulse. Not only will they not help the matter, but they will also bring terrible disasters to us Huns. Disaster - as a great prince, you must learn to put the overall situation first..."
Modun looked carefully at this good brother who used to only follow behind him and please him, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
He pointed to the door of the big tent and said very politely.
"roll--"
Weiman was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
"I don't know how to praise!"
…
What Weiman didn't know was that after he left, the good brother Mo Dun, who was originally pale and lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, turned around and sat up from the bed.
"This idiot is so arrogant. It seems that my good father can no longer bear to attack me -"
The guards on the left and right did not dare to say a word.
…
It is almost certain that Mao Dun will go to Da Qin to serve as a hostage. It was impossible for the Xiongnu to send their prince to Da Qin as a hostage, so after a period of deliberation, they began to hold frequent meetings with their close ministers to consider replacing the prince.
Under the pretext of adjusting the defense of the royal city to prevent the Qin army's rebellion, he quietly deployed several of his elite cavalry around the Maodun cavalry, forming a vague joint attack.
Just when everyone thought that Mao Dun would never be captured without mercy and would most likely fight to the death, Mo Dun surprisingly remained silent.
Touman Shanyu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really a little afraid of his eldest son's ability. So, with a wave of his hand, he carved out a land with rich water and grass for his eldest son, and rewarded two tribes with a population of thousands.
Regardless of his injuries, Modu came forward in person to thank his father.
Touman Shanyu also seemed to have forgotten the bad blood between father and son, and personally took his son's hand and walked into the king's tent.
That night, a banquet was held, and while they were drinking and drinking, the father and son talked and laughed happily, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
A few days later, Touman Shanyu sent Maodun and led his five thousand elite cavalry to escort the Yan family to Guyan Mountain to worship the gods and pray for the Huns. Weiman was concerned that his elder brother was injured and took the initiative to ask for help. Touman Shanyu was pleased Promise.
The number of elite men under Mao Dun dropped sharply.
Everyone looked at Prince Maodun, who was standing not far from Touman Shanyu, with complicated thoughts.
Modu's expression remained as usual.
"Thank you, Father, for your consideration..."
It seems that the enemy Man Chanyu's actions are unconscious!
Seeing Mao Dun's cooperation, Tou Man Shanyu even felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but this trace of guilt was quickly suppressed completely in his heart. Compared to his eldest son who always talks back to him, he naturally prefers his second son Weiman.
Sensible, well-behaved, filial, and smart!
He had long thought of deposing the crown prince, but Mao Dun had a high prestige among the Huns. Even he did not dare to establish another crown prince for no reason. But now, it happens to be an opportunity.
How can the emperor of any country be a hostage?
He feels that the time has come!
At this time, the negotiations between the Xiongnu and Da Qin also entered the final stage.
Once the two parties sign an alliance, Maodun will represent the Xiongnu and enter Xianyang as a hostage. Touman felt that he didn't have to worry. He could show his sincerity by using the prince's entry into Xianyang as a pledge.
When Maodun entered Xianyang and everything settled, it would not be too late for him to establish another prince.
With a normal expression on his face, Mao Dun bid farewell to Touman Chanyu and the tribal leaders.
After returning to his camp, he immediately summoned all his personal guards, pulled out a special arrow from his quiver, and showed it to everyone.
"This is the Ming Dy - from now on, I will use this as my trumpet. Wherever I point the Ming Dy, everyone will shoot. Anyone who hesitates and disobeys the order will be killed!"
After saying this, he asked someone to bring his beloved white horse, draw his bow and shoot at it.
A sharp chirping sound sounded.
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Some people subconsciously followed and ejaculated, but almost half of the people couldn't help but hesitate slightly. When he saw Mao Dun's cold eyes, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and he fired his bow and arrow in a panic.
Then, he looked at the white horse with arrows on the ground in horror, and turned pale at the sight of each other.
That was the prince's favorite mount, and it was just gone!
Modun looked at the dozens of guards who finally fired their bows and arrows, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Everyone who comes, pull them down and chop them down——"
Everyone was shocked to see that Mao Dun was actually serious. The expressions of those hesitant guards changed drastically and they all knelt down to beg for mercy, but Mao Dun remained unmoved.
After a while, dozens of familiar heads were placed in front of everyone with blood on them!
shocking!
Modun looked at everyone's faces and said slowly.
"Wherever Ming Dy points, thousands of arrows are fired!"
Everyone was in awe.
"promise!"
…
While Mao Dun was holding back his energy and training his own guards, Zhao Ying was also training his own group of guards.
"Everyone, do you want to become a decent gentleman, a true old Qin man? Do you want to be promoted to a noble position, and be rich and powerful? Then start from the first step - speak Qin dialect, read Qin books, and write Qin characters , be a Qin person!"
Zhao Ying raised his arms and shouted to encourage these guards.
"One month later, I will select twenty squad captains from among you based on your performance. The squad captains will enjoy the same treatment as my soldiers, and may even have the opportunity to join my soldier camp... "
Zhao Ying's words made the hearts of these young people from Yuezhi tremble.
Now that the Yueshi have been destroyed, Zhao Ying, the terrifying demon, is their real master. If they can become Zhao Ying's personal soldiers, it will be equivalent to completely establishing a foothold in Da Qin. For them, this is definitely a temptation that they cannot refuse.
"We need to study-"
On these days, when the subject of reading is mentioned, the whole family bursts into tears. The reluctant Yuezhi disciples bite the bullet, pick up the books in their hands, open their tongues, and begin to read the awkward square characters.
Zhao Ying didn't stay at the Guards Camp for long. He poured a large bowl of chicken soup and turned around to go back.
He didn't have time to spend more time with these people.
The reason why I came here today was just to drop by. The main purpose was to visit my own glaze workshop. If you really want to go to war with the Huns, you will definitely need a large amount of funds.
Naturally, Zhao Ying did not plan to impose additional taxes on the already heavily burdened people of Qin, but planned to provide enough food and clothing by himself.
What he was counting on was his own glaze workshop.
"Bai Rong (Chen He, Gong Xue, Lu Yi) met His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun——"
As soon as Zhao Ying entered the glass factory, several stewards who received the news quickly came out to greet him and bowed and saluted from a distance away.
Zhao Ying has a very friendly attitude towards the heroes who helped him develop transparent glass.
He jumped off the horse and extended his hand to help him with a kind expression.
"You don't have to be polite -"
"Thank you, Your Highness——"
Bai Rong and others stood up with happy faces, Your Highness, we have recently developed several new types of colored glaze and are about to report to Your Highness.
"Thank you for your hard work——"
Zhao Ying was very satisfied with this. He rescued these warlocks in vain and gave them a chance to show off their talents.
Following Bai Rong and others to the warehouse, Zhao Ying couldn't help but look happy.
He found that Bai Rong and others were really not lazy after not seeing each other for several months. The warehouse was filled with yellow, blue, red and green glass, and some were even colorful and burned into a hodgepodge.
Some of the shapes are quite weird, like a pile of broken stones. However, these "stones" are crystal clear, and they still exude a dazzling luster when exposed to the sun.
"Have you ever remembered the formula of these colored glazes——"
"Your Highness, please remember that all the glazes fired here have clear records and have been successfully fired repeatedly..."
"good!"
Sure enough, there are no real useless people in this world, only people who don't know how to use people.
No, such a group of sorcerers who only know how to refine elixirs and play tricks have suddenly transformed into talents who can smelt glass and study chemical changes.
Although the glass here is strange in shape and not very useful, Zhao Ying is not prepared to sell it as glass.
Rare and rare treasures are naturally of strange shapes, aren’t they——
Zhao Ying thinks there is no problem.
He planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial examination to hold a public glass exhibition in Xianyang and hold a small auction.
Zhao Ying then checked in detail all the refining information that was tightly sealed by Bai Rong and others, and took a closer look at the current production situation.
Due to confidentiality requirements, this place has been heavily guarded.
The people responsible for the development and production are all the warlocks who were rescued by Zhao Ying at the beginning, and the manpower scientists basically research and produce at the same time, so the output is a bit impressive.
However, Zhao Ying has no intention of expanding production for the time being.
Things are rare and valuable.
He doesn't want to promote glass on a large scale in Daqin, he just wants to make a circle - ahem, he just wants the wealthy people of this era to broaden their horizons and appreciate the wonders of the world that should not exist in this era.
By the way, help them accumulate good deeds.
After the visit, Zhao Ying returned to Bai Rong and others' office, picked up a brush, and simply drew several model drawings in front of Bai Rong and others.
"Looking back, I'll find someone to make a few molds. Let's see if we can make a batch of colored glazes like this -"
Saying that, Zhao Ying smiled.
"The color doesn't matter. You don't need to pursue transparency or a single color. As long as it can be fired, it will be considered a great achievement for you. Each of you will be promoted to the first level, rewarded with thousands of coins, and a maid -"
Bai Rong and others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this.
It doesn't matter what the title or reward is, and I don't expect to be able to go out anyway, but the maid is really necessary.
I have been trapped here for several months, and I have almost forgotten what it is like to be a woman!
"Pass it on, everyone will be the same. From now on, not only Liuli, anyone who can develop new things can receive rewards from me - as long as I am satisfied, title, maid, and money are not problems, even if they are It’s not impossible to leave here in the future…”
PS: It’s almost time for the monthly ticket lottery. I just took a look and there are now more than 1,400 tickets, and there are still more than 500 away from 2,000. Please support me, book friends, can you get enough 2,000 tickets? Thank you——
