After Tongzhi left, another member of the Tianshou Division came in.
"Lord Tian, in addition to Jing Jue's handling, there is also a traitor that you need to send someone to capture. This is your Majesty's military order."
After Tian Zong asked him to step back, he opened the military order and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Yuntong County rarely uses torture except for those who touch the red line and uses such cruel criminal laws.
Generally, corporal punishment and corvée were used as the means of criminal law.
Corporal punishment is beating people in various ways. Anyway, it is to make the prisoner feel pain. Only when the prisoner is in pain will he not commit the crime again next time.
As for the corvee, this is not the traditional work of slave priests, but the most painful and dangerous place where slave priests work. As for whether they can survive, it all depends on luck.
This kind of punishment structure is very popular in Yuntong County. As one of the core members, Tian Zong naturally knows what the emperor's intention is.
Killing indiscriminately is not something a qualified ruler can do. It is not because of cruelty or perversion, making people fearful. It is what a superior should do.
But if everyone kills indiscriminately and the population is gone, how can anyone provide for their own trends if they achieve total rule?
Especially in this era, manpower represents financial resources, and more importantly, how many people can farm and fight. Therefore, in Yuntong County's system, people will not kill people if they can.
But some people are willing to violate the laws set by Lord Wu An, and that is unacceptable. The best way is to kill them directly for big things, and to kill them for everyone to see.
If it's a small thing, just give me a beating until you can't bear it. I won't do it again next time.
It's so direct, it's so arrogant.
At that time, Yang Qian was also very angry. In his previous life, he had seen many people making trouble without reason, such as parking on the highway and causing the large truck behind to roll over. After finding it, he felt confident.
Every time Yang Qian saw news like this, his blood pressure would rise. Let alone punishment, a beating would be more effective than anything else.
Tian Zong's face was cold, and this time he even used Ling Chi and Paolao. It was obvious that your Majesty's hatred for that traitor was no less than that of someone who conspired against someone and sold land privately.
After carefully reviewing all the information, my dear fellow, I discovered that this person was in the Kingdom of Yarkand.
Tian Zong thought for a while and immediately issued two orders.
First gather an army of 10,000 people and be ready at any time.
Immediately send an envoy to the Shache Kingdom to negotiate and make sure to capture this person.
If this is not possible and life is important, Tianshou Division will send a liaison team to accompany the team. If anything happens, they will directly contact Taihuang County.
Yarkand is one of the top eight powerful countries, but Tian Zong is not worried about the other party's national power.
The Shache Kingdom has about 2,300 households, more than 16,000 people, and less than 4,000 soldiers.
For Taihuang County, such a country is at the level of being crushed. To put it bluntly, it doesn't need Yang Qian to take action. Tian Zong can destroy it with just a sneeze.
However, such a country already had a certain say in the Western Regions. Tian Zong was afraid of attracting the attention of Wusun, Qiuci and Yanqi by attacking them rashly.
If these three countries have ill intentions towards Taihuang County, Tian Zongzhi may start asking for help.
At the gate of the city, a dozen cavalrymen galloped out, without even bringing a carriage, and they quickly set off towards the Kingdom of Shache.
Not long after they left, four or five cavalrymen set off with a carriage closely following the cavalry in front.
Tianshou Division stipulates: Whenever you go to other countries as envoys, you need to be assisted by Zhengqi and Xiangxiang. The Zheng will lead people into the city, and the Qi will wait for the signal outside.
As long as the stipulated time is reached, if the envoy does not come out, Tianshou Division will determine that the envoy will either be killed or imprisoned, and call back to Taihuang County.
Tian Zong will immediately send an army to help.
Tian Zong still remembered what Wu Anjun said at that time.
"Don't be afraid of fighting. Peace is achieved through fighting. To the enemy, your concession will make others mistake it as cowardice. The gain outweighs the loss. Just hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches."
"If the Western Region doesn't know what's good and what's good, it will just wipe out a few countries and see if they are still fierce!"
With the support of Mr. Wu An, Tian Zong has enough courage in his heart and can do things freely.
You know, the authority to declare war is higher than the authority to command and mobilize troops. Without the authorization of Lord Wu'an, which general would dare?
I am afraid that Amagariji will grab him and rub him on the ground in no time.
Shache Kingdom, royal palace.
After a period of traveling, the messenger finally arrived.
Looking at the buildings that are completely different from the Central Plains style, even the envoys who have seen the world can't help but look at them again and again.
The palace is a large adobe palace, not very big, probably similar to a modern villa, which means it occupies a larger area.
The palace is not high, with only two or three floors. But when we got inside, we found that it was completely different from what we imagined. Carpets were everywhere, with fine stitching and dense pile. They were obviously of the highest quality.
It has to be said that the countries in the Western Regions occupy the main trade routes, and almost all of them are very fat.
No matter where people want to do business with the Central Plains, they must go through the Western Regions. The countries in the Western Regions are not fools, so they naturally set up checkpoints.
I won’t embarrass you, just give me money and you can get by.
Even if you find it troublesome, you can just sell the goods to them directly.
Of course, there is also maritime trade, but the current maritime trade has only just begun and the distance is relatively close.
After passing the news, more than a dozen people arrived at the palace. They saw two people sitting on the main seat, a woman and a man. They looked very different from the people in the Central Plains.
In the eyes of the envoy, the people from the Western Regions not only looked different from the people from the Central Plains, but also looked different from the nomads.
I saw that the man looked majestic, his face was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular cheeks gave him an exotic beauty.
But the woman was smaller than the man, with a plump figure, big eyes, skin like snow, brown hair exposed from the back of her head, and she was wearing gold jewelry, making her look very graceful and luxurious.
The messenger raised his hands to the men and women, and blurted out fluent Shache language in an instant.
"General Tian Zong, the governor of Taihuang County in Xia Kingdom, sent us here and met the King and Queen of Shache!"
The queen and the king covered their chests at the same time and nodded slightly.
"The messenger is galloping in the desert, so why not take a short rest? If you have anything to do, we can talk about it in a few days!"
The messenger surrendered.
"King of Yarkand, we have been ordered to come to discuss with your country. There is a wanted criminal in Daxia who is currently in Yarkand. We want to take this person away."
The Brake King is a middle-aged man with a curly beard, playing with his beard and saying casually.
"There is just a wanted criminal in our country? Who is it? If it is convenient, just take him away. By the way, I will give my greetings to General Tian Zong and let Daxia know about my Shache's goodwill."
"promise!"
"This person is Hu Jianbai!"
"What?"
King Yarkand suddenly frowned slightly and looked at the envoy with eyes full of embarrassment.
"This person is not good, please find someone else."
The messenger's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
"This person is extremely dangerous. We come here with great sincerity and hope that the king will agree."
King Yarkand waved his hand, looking very impatient.
"Great sincerity? Where's the sincerity? Did you come empty-handed?"
The messenger slowly straightened his body and said calmly.
"King Yarkand, this place is not far from our Daxia Taihuang County. It is not easy for us to have peaceful conversations with your country with the strength of our country. This is our greatest sincerity. We hope that the king will not make a mistake, and it will be considered as a gift to you." A peaceful environment for the people of Yarkand."
"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can send someone to Taihuang County. As long as we can do it, we will definitely help."
King Yarkand's brows were furrowed so tightly that he could almost pinch a mosquito to death.
If he didn't know the strength of Xia State, then the king would never act like this. But after knowing the strength of Xia State, who would dare to say harsh words to Xia State when fighting alone?
Gradually, the atmosphere in the palace became extremely silent, and the smell of gunpowder between the two parties became stronger. A drop of sweat slid down the messenger's cheek involuntarily.
Do you want to say you are not afraid of death? Anyone who is not afraid of death is afraid of death, but due to his responsibilities, the envoy's salary is very high, and the housing expenses for those who can follow him have been prepared.
If they die, their families will receive generous rewards, which is one of the reasons why they can die generously.
Finally, when the messenger's face was about to freeze, the queen squeezed the back of the king's hand without revealing anything, her eyes full of worry.
"I don't know how big of a thing Hu Jianbai committed in the Xia Kingdom, so much so that Taihuang County actually sent an envoy here. I want to know, otherwise I will not let him go. This person is of great use to me."
The messenger looked deeply at King Yarkand.
"Wu'an Jun's military order: Tian Zong, Huang County, capture Hu Jianbai and his party at all costs!"
King Shache couldn't help but take a breath. If Tian Zong wanted this person, he could be fooled, but if Lord Wu An wanted this person, he would be in trouble.
After several years of communication between the two parties, they both have a vague idea of where they are in the food chain, but the gap is too big and not of the same magnitude at all.
You are on the third level and the other person is on the atmosphere. How can you get so hard?
"Alas~~~"
King Yarkand let out a long sigh, but his eyes lit up again.
"I heard that the Xia Kingdom has a long-standing enmity with the Huns. I can give this person to you, and I will give you a piece of news for free. Hu Jianbai has close contacts with the Huns!"
The messenger was stunned and asked hurriedly, "King, are you serious about this?"
"Of course I take it seriously. I am the king of the Shache Kingdom, so I will not target without aim. The Huns are not at peace recently. Our national strength of the Shache Kingdom is not very good in the eyes of the Huns. I originally wanted Hu Jianbai to mediate, but now I have given it to you... ..."
Before King Yarkand finished speaking, the envoy said directly, "Please rest assured, king, I, Daxia, have an undying hatred for the Huns."
"The enemy of my enemy is a friend. I, the Xia Kingdom, hope that all tribes and countries in the world can become friends. After I return, I will directly report this matter to Lord Wu'an and let him decide!"
