"Haha, thank you for your Highness's advice. It's easy to talk about 20,000 kilograms of gold. You can set off with the envoy today. I will send troops to personally escort the envoy to Xizhou. Your Highness's caravan is ready and can come in at any time. His Highness's caravan He is my most distinguished guest in Tubo, and he will never charge any taxes! I will tell all the tribal leaders! Let them buy things from His Highness as much as possible!" Songtsan Gampo immediately laughed and said, twenty thousand kilograms of gold he Don't care anymore!
Since this money can buy these things, he has made a profit! Wang Zheng's words just now opened his eyes. As long as he has enough iron weapons, he can't defeat the Tang Dynasty, but he can defeat Tianzhu!
"Zanpu is indeed very discerning!" Wang Zheng directly gave Songtsen Gampo a thumbs up imitating His Highness. Fortunately, you are not that stupid. His Highness is really worried. He is worried that you Tubo will not have the gold and silver to buy His Highness's things and return them to you. You pointed out a way to earn gold and silver.
If you don't earn this, how will you get the money to buy His Highness's things?
The negotiation is over here, and Wang Zheng naturally cannot set off on the same day. After all, twenty thousand kilograms of gold is not a small number, but it is not loaded into a car. Anyway, the gold is not large. A horse can carry one hundred kilograms of gold, and two hundred kilograms of gold. Horses were dragged on, not to mention camels or yaks. To Tibet, this number of livestock was just drizzle.
In this case, the traveling speed will naturally be much faster. After all, it is really difficult for carriages to move forward in Tubo territory.
Wang Zheng and the others returned to the embassy, and Songtsen Gampo immediately discussed it with Lun Ker and Shang Xiang.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is worthy of being the prince of the Tang Dynasty. His vision is indeed beyond our comparison. I recognize the twenty thousand kilograms of gold. He pointed out a way out for us. Why do we have to keep an eye on the Tang Dynasty?" Song Song Zangampo took a deep breath, his tone somewhat excited.
"Indeed, there are several mountain passes in the South Kunlun Mountains mentioned by King Qin that are not difficult to cross. And as long as we control the mountain passes and some small countries on the south side, for us, isn't Tianzhu a flat river?" Lun Keer and Shang Xiang also agreed. Face excited.
"But there is a prerequisite." Songtsen Gampo said.
"You mean, we want to get a lot of iron tools?" Lun Cole said.
"Yes, without enough weapons and armor, we can't do it even if we lose too many people in the battle, so we have to promote trade with His Highness the King of Qin as soon as possible. I think I will give His Highness the King of Qin a gift alone, just to say that I am very I admire His Highness the King of Qin and look forward to meeting him one day. In addition, apart from not collecting taxes on His Highness the King of Qin’s caravan, we can ignore any of their actions as long as they are not excessive."
"As long as we get a lot of iron tools, the South Kunlun Mountains in the mouth of the Tang Dynasty may be just a mountain range in the hinterland of Tubo!" Songtsen Gampo said seriously.
Lun Keer and Shang Xiang looked at each other and nodded immediately, "Yes, in this case, we must maintain a good relationship with His Highness King Qin!"
"Yes." Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath.
In this tone, on the second day, Wang Zheng and others and Songtsen Gampo naturally left here happily talking, and Songtsen Gampo even left the city for thirty miles to see each other off!
The official responsible for recording the history of Tibet recorded in the history book in Chinese characters: Zanpu Songtsen Gampo admired His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty very much. His Highness the King of Qin sent a delegation to give gifts to Zanpu. Zanpu liked and moved him very much. When the delegation left, , Zanpu left the city thirty miles to see each other off!
On the way back, Wang Zheng and Yang Cheng looked at each other. They had overfulfilled their task again, but they were not happy. They just admired His Highness more and more. He was indeed their life teacher in their minds and could make decisions based on their expectations. Thousands of miles away, His Highness did not come in person, but he still knew what Songtsen Gampo wanted and what he wanted to do.
All his thoughts and actions were expected by His Highness.
"Do we still need to implement the follow-up plan?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.
"It's impossible. We are His Highness's envoys now." Wang Zheng shook his head.
"Hey, what a pity. I really hope that I can participate in Li Daitao's plan." Yang Cheng looked regretful.
"Yes!" Wang Zheng also felt a little regretful.
Before they set off, His Highness and the others learned a lesson about Li Daitao's plan.
The plan is very simple. How to leverage the Tibetan herdsmen to rebel and win the hearts and minds of the people is not difficult. This is too simple for His Highness, but the prerequisite is how to achieve this goal.
If you just send people to sneak into these different tribes, act as ordinary herdsmen, and then convince other herdsmen bit by bit, the efficiency will be too slow!
That's why His Highness came up with this plan to replace Tao Zang. The method is very simple. Tubo is a slave country, and Tubo is divided into many large and small tribes. These tribes are also ruled by Tubo nobles, and these nobles are the masters of slaves.
After Murong Shun sneaked into Tubo, he could kill all the nobles of a certain tribe in a surprise attack. While killing the noble and all his descendants, the personnel prepared in advance would sneak in directly, because there were many descendants of these nobles, Songtsan Qian It is impossible for Bu to know everyone.
Just pretend to be an unknown person and be replaced by someone from His Highness, and then the replacement takes the injury and a few people to Songtsen Gampo for help. When the nobles who manage the entire tribe are dead and only the people who report the message are left, , then this person can naturally inherit the noble position of this tribe.
Because Songtsen Gampo had just pacified Tubo for only a year, and he needed to stabilize the entire Tubo, he could not just give this tribe to other nobles, even if all the original nobles of this tribe were killed, leaving only one "nephew" An heir such as an "illegitimate son" can only be given to this heir!
At that time, as long as the nobles who have been replaced by His Highness' people are loyal to Songtsen Gampo, Songtsen Gampo will definitely support him! Later, His Highness's caravan entered, and this man bought some good things from His Highness's caravan for Songtsen Gampo! Then his status will naturally rise again.
If you control a tribe, it will be easier to control public opinion and people's hearts. It won't take long before the people of these tribes will definitely be willing to follow His Highness.
When each of these tribes gradually began to be cannibalized, the people at the bottom of Tubo had already been replaced. At that time, Songtsen Gampo would probably still be in the joy of trading with Tianzhu or attacking the Tianzhu tribe.
This is only the first step of the plan. After all, it is impossible for all tribes to play this way. First control the tribes in the north in this way, and then gradually spread.
Anyway, they haven't heard about the follow-up plan yet, but it's a pity that they can't participate in such a plan that Li Daitao will stalemate a country. After all, as long as these tribes under our control behave well and "get closer" and "loyal" to Songtsan Gampo, then they will annex some tribes, and Songtsan Gampo will definitely acquiesce.
Of course, the premise of all this is to find out clearly about the situation of these tribes.
