Chapter 313 Unification of the World 7
While Han Luzhou was discussing with Xin Qiji, a Mongolian guest came to Han Zhongwei's palace, Genghis Khan and Jamukha of the Mongolian Khanate.
"Jamuha, my friend, welcome you to Zhongdu." Han Zhongwei stretched out his shoulders and hugged Jamuha heavily. When he first met Jamuha, only Jamuha's shoulders were taller. But now, Han Zhongwei is two fingers taller than Jamuha. His height is constantly increasing, and his status is also rising. Jamuha, Genghis Khan, seems to be a little lower than him.
"Korean Lord, it's a great honor to see you here." Jamukha smiled heartily. In recent years, the lives of the people on the Mongolian grassland have been greatly improved. They no longer cannot live because of lack of food, salt, iron, tea and other living materials. Moreover, they can also receive education and learn the culture of the Han people in the Central Plains. Such days are simply in the sky and the other on the earth compared to the past.
Now, Jamukha already knew that his people were unable to do without Han Zhongwei's protection. If Han Zhongwei was lost, he could not believe what the Mongolian Khanate would become. Mongolia turned out to be just a piece of territory of the Jin Kingdom. Although Jamukha had established the country and defeated 500,000 Jin troops, all of this was with the help of Han Zhongwei.
Otherwise, Jamuquan is still competing with Temujin of Qiyan's tribe, or he may still be dealing with Wanyan Xiang. During this period, how many of his people and the outstanding children of the Mongolian grassland would die? Jamukashi could not imagine.
Before he came this time, he also reached a consensus with the leaders and chiefs of various tribes. This time he came to Zhongdu, he had to discuss the relationship between Mongolia and China. Only by confirming this relationship can Jamukha, Genghis Khan, be comfortable, and he will not be afraid and unable to sleep every night.
"Sit down, why don't you go with me to see this palace? To be honest, it's too big. I haven't seen every place yet." Han Zhongwei smiled. What he said was not a lie. Since moving into the palace, he has only walked around his residence a few times. As for the so-called pavilions and towers farther away, they rarely go to.
"Okay, let me see it too." Jamuka smiled. In the past, they used to be something they could not look up to, but now, he can walk around casually like a back garden. If he had been five years earlier, who would have believed it?
Walking in the garden behind the palace, Han Zhongwei pointed to the front and said to Jamuha: "There is a pavilion in front, let's sit for a while."
"Okay." Jamukha nodded. After watching for so long, no matter how good the scenery is, he lost interest. This time he came to Zhongdu, he wanted to discuss the future of Mongolia with Han Zhongwei, and he was not specifically looking at the back garden of the palace.
Han Zhongwei ordered people to bring food and drinks, and then left and left. Jamuha suddenly came to Zhongdu. Han Zhongwei was not very clear about his purpose this time, but he was sure that since Jamuha came in person, he must have to talk to him about Mongolia and major events about Mongolia. Otherwise, he just sent someone to come here later, or directly told him the people in the Mongolian capital.
"Jamuha, you are looking for my purpose in China. Can you tell me now?" Han Zhongwei poured Jamuha a glass of wine and asked with a smile. Jamuha did not explain his purpose as soon as possible, which means that although the matter he came to him to discuss was important, it was not urgent, and it didn't matter day by day.
"I came to find the king for the Mongolian Khanate and for the way out of the Mongolian Khanate." Jamukha said.
"What's wrong with the Mongolian Khanate?" Han Zhongwei said in surprise. Although the Mongolian Khanate was also his target, he did not have this plan in a short period of time. At least he had to wait until Zhao Kuo was settled, and even Dali, Western Liao and Turpan were even included in the bag before he would consider Mongolia. Now, Han Zhongwei was actually the least worried about the Mongolian Khanate. Although he did not control the Mongolian army, he had garrisons in the Guard City. If there were changes in Mongolia, he could control the situation immediately. Moreover, a division in the Guard City was enough to deal with any emergencies.
The most important thing is that Han Zhongwei controlled the Mongolian economy. He bought livestock from the Mongolians at a high price, and then sold the food, salt, iron, cloth, tea and other materials they urgently needed to the grassland. It can be said that losing the Mongolian Khanate would not cause much loss, but if the Mongolian Khanate had no support, he would probably fall into trouble at most six months. Therefore, he has never been anxious about the affairs of the Mongolian Khanate, and even if the Mongolian Khanate was anxious, he would not be anxious.
"I have discussed with the leaders of other tribes many times. For the future of our Mongolian Khanate, I decided to incorporate the Mongolian Khanate into China and ask the Korean Lord to accept it." Jamukha said sincerely.
"Jamuha, we are friends. If you want to incorporate the Mongolian Khanate into my country, it will become my subordinate. This is inappropriate, it is a big problem. I think it is better to maintain the status quo." Han Zhongwei smiled and shook his head. He was not surprised by Jamuha's proposal. Although he now purchases the Mongolian livestock at a high price, the goods he sold to the Mongolians are not low.
The original Mongolians were used to suffering. When people were hungry, they often showed their greatest combat power. Now, all Mongolians could live a life of food and clothing as long as they could raise some cattle, horses, and sheep. If they could raise a little more, they could live a rich life. Even if there were no cattle, horses, and sheep, all the shops and workshops in the Mongolian capital would recruit workers, and Mongolians would give priority to them, which would also ensure their lives. Moreover, as Han Zhongwei's policy began to change, the Mongolians who worked in shops and workshops gradually increased, and later it was even higher than that of some herders with only a small number of livestock.
Can you live a good life if you only do things and don’t raise livestock? When such a thing really happened, the Mongolians began to change their lifestyle for the first time. Giving up breeding is not a good thing for the upper ruling class of Mongolia. If no one is engaged in breeding, it is absolutely sad for the Mongolians. It was not until this time that Jamuka began to worry about the future of his tribe.
According to this development trend, in just thirty or fifty years, or even so long, a considerable number of Mongolians will be Chineseized. Jamu did not calculate this number, but he knew that the calculated number must be very terrifying.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Jamuha made such a decision, and simply allowed the Mongolian Khanate to be incorporated into China. The Han people have always claimed to be a country of etiquette. If they surrender, there will be no loss in power, but they can gain a lot of benefits than Han Zhongwei. Perhaps that is the way to truly make Mongolia stronger.
But Jamuha never expected that Han Zhongwei would refuse such a tempting condition. He absolutely did not expect such a situation. What he had been calculating was what conditions should Han Zhongwei be put forward, and what conditions would Han Zhongwei agree to him. He did not even do the Great Jin Dynasty to make the Mongolians surrender. Now Jamuha admires China and surrenders voluntarily. What a great achievement it would be, but Han Zhongwei seemed to have not seen it at all, and he refused without even thinking about it.
"Master, is this your true thought?" Jamuka's brain was as if it was short-circuited at this time, and she was completely at a loss.
"Of course, I think it is best to keep our relationship with the Mongolian Khanate in the present state." Han Zhongwei nodded. Jamuha was not good at hiding his inner emotions. The shock on his face was seen by Han Zhongwei. It seemed that his refusal disrupted Jamuha's formation.
"But I think that unification of the world is the right way. As long as we Mongolia is incorporated into China, who in the world will dare to resist you?" Jamukha said anxiously.
"Zamuha, we Han people have a saying that if you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu. I've just pulled Wanyan Yongji and Li Zunxu off the horse. You want me to take Mongolia again. If this continues, no matter how good my teeth are, I will be able to hold it up." Han Zhongwei smiled and said. The more anxious Jamuha was, the more stable he was.
"But..." Jamuha always felt that Han Zhongwei was ambitious, but why did he get to him, but he had nothing at all? Could it be that he regarded himself as a true friend as his true friend? Although Jamuha was straightforward, he still didn't believe in such a thing. Although Han Zhongwei's relationship with him was good, it was a relationship of mutual use and mutual cooperation. Han Zhongwei needed him to unify Mongolia and restrain the Jin army, and Jamuha did all these well. Of course, unifying Mongolia was also beneficial to Jamuha, and restraining the Jin army also allowed the Mongolians to no longer have external threats. Of course, their rewards were also generous. Han Zhongwei brought them a new life and even changed the fate of the entire nation.
"There is nothing, just like that. If you are not used to it, you can live in Zhongdu for a long time. Although your capital is good, there is still a certain gap compared to Zhongdu." Han Zhongwei interrupted Jamuha with a smile. He now understood Jamuha's anxious mood. The Mongolians have been very serious in recent years. Instead of being completely Chinese like a frog boiled in warm water, it is better to dive into Han Zhongwei's pot of boiling water and gain the greatest benefits for Mongolia.
But this result was not something Han Zhongwei was willing to see. If he accepted Mongolia's incorporation into China, he would only receive formal surrender, but he would pay heavy. Han Zhongwei believed that if he accepted Jamukha's proposal with satisfaction, he might have returned all the benefits he received from the Mongolian Khanate to Mongolia. He would even pay more than this. His exclusive business rights in Mongolia and education rights would be divided by Mongolia. He would fall back into the hands of the Mongolians. As a superior country, he would not be able to compete for profit with his vassal states, right? This is not the practice of a benevolent and righteous country.
Jamuha played in Zhongdu for a whole month, eating, drinking, playing, gambling, and prostitution as he wished. Besides Zhongdu, Han Zhongwei arranged for someone to accompany Jamuha to accompany Jamuha. Han Zhongwei only mentioned this word for Jamuha's treatment: I am happy and I don't want to leave. If my own people can do this, it will be considered a successful completion of the task.
Jamuha really did not know where Mongolia was in China. He spent one month and twenty-nine days in Zhongdu Hotel. There were the best food in the world, the best casinos, the best songs, the best opera troupes, and all kinds of novel things. With the knowledge of people in this era, they would not even dare to think of many things that they didn't even dare to think of in Zhongdu Hotel.
Three months later, Jamuha had almost forgotten his purpose in China. It was not until he ate the authentic Mongolian dish of roasted whole lamb in Heicheng that he suddenly realized that he had been addicted to the enjoyment of life.
During this period, the women around Jamuha were like changing clothes. Almost every few days, a group of different types of beauties appeared by his side. They were busy enjoying during the day and were not idle at night. Jamuha had no time to think about his own affairs.
"Bang"
Jamuha slapped himself heavily, and he felt ashamed of his performance during this period. Did the former hero on the grassland only know how to lie on the woman's belly and enjoy it? The hero who once beat Temujin to the end was now lingering in fine wine and food? The subtle consequences are really scary. He can't resist the life of sensuality, let alone his ministers and his tribe members?
In recent years, the three major cities in Mongolia have been completed, and the Mongolians no longer have to live a wandering life. But it was because of the suffering that they had made them cherish their current life more and devote themselves to their new life more wholeheartedly. It turned out that Jamukha lived in a tent, but after he unified Mongolia, he lived in a golden tent. But now, his capital also has a luxurious palace, many slaves and hundreds of waiting wives.
Wearing five red finger marks on his face, Jamukhe returned to the Mongolian capital. As soon as he returned, he immediately summoned all the tribe chiefs and ministers to discuss matters and told them about his life over the past few months. Of course, the most important thing was Han Zhongwei's attitude. Han Zhongwei was not as happy as they imagined, and he couldn't find the North for the Mongolian submission. Han Zhongwei's calm answer surprised everyone. No Han person was interested in subduing foreign lands. Han Zhongwei may be the only exception.
"Everyone, what should we do next?" Jamukha said solemnly, "Han Zhongwei's approach seems to be very beneficial to us Mongolians. In fact, he is corrupting our spirit and sanity. In a few years, we may all become Han people."
"I wonder what the conditions are there for the Korean Lord?" Akata asked. He was still wondering if he should go to the escort army to serve as a commander, but the news brought by Jamuha was now frustrating. Han Zhongwei didn't accept their conditions. They thought of all the situations before, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"He has no conditions, he just wants to maintain the status quo." Jamuha shook his head. This is a duel between a martial arts master. Jamuha prepared thousands of moves, but Han Zhongwei used one move without any move, so that all of Jamuha's moves could not be used.
"Maintain the status quo? But can the status quo be maintained? In his mind, our Mongolians have a lower status than the Han people. I think this is what Han Zhongwei does not accept our proposal to incorporate into China." Chitai said confidently.
"We Mongolians live in peace with the Han people. You see, in the capital, guard city, Zhongdu, and Heicheng, there are Han people and Mongolians everywhere, and there is no discrimination." Jamuha shook his head gently, and he felt that Han Zhongwei was definitely not not accepting Mongolia because he looked down on the Mongolians.
"What should we do? We can't give Khanate to him in vain, right?" Akata said anxiously.
Jamuha's eyes lit up, "What's wrong with giving it for free?"
In fact, there are two roads for him to choose from before Jamuha. One is to completely integrate into China established by Han Zhongwei, and the other is to completely separate the connection with China. Only by allowing the Mongols to be self-reliant can they not be controlled by Han Zhongwei. However, including Jamuha himself, they all feel that the road behind is not a road at all. If they leave Han Zhongwei, what should we do if the previous agreement with Han Zhongwei is invalid? It will not only offend Han Zhongwei, but also means that the Mongols will return to the original days of wind and sun. Now that they have enjoyed such a long new life, who will miss the past?
"If I give it to him for free, why don't you?" Akata asked again without any wits.
"Then I will pester Han Zhongwei every day. Only by letting him get the Mongolian Khanate can the previous agreement be renegotiated. We don't need him to plan everything like taking care of a baby, which will make the Mongols lose the courage to challenge life." Jamuha said.
Jamukha came to Zhongdu again. This time he saw Han Zhongwei, he said straight to the point: "Master, please accept the sincerity of the Mongolian Khanate."
Jamukha was holding the Mongols' roster and his various books, which was like surrendering directly to the other party.
"Zamuha, what do you mean? Didn't I say that the Mongolian Khanate and China are friendly countries, so we don't need to be too polite. I'm embarrassed to do this." Han Zhongwei smiled bitterly. The more Jamuha wanted to incorporate the Mongolian Khanate into China urgently, the less Han Zhongwei wanted to accept it.
"Mongolia's 500,000 people want to join China. If the king refuses to agree, Mongolia will not hesitate to fight with China," said Jamukha firmly.
"Are you serious?" Han Zhongwei was stunned and asked faintly.
"Of course, our army is ready to attack the guards at any time," Jamukha said sternly.
"Okay, my guards are just itchy. If you want to fight, then fight." Han Zhongwei said coldly.
"Don't, Han Zhongwei, you are my brother. I was just joking just now, don't take it seriously." Jamuka was so anxious that he was at a loss when he saw Han Zhongwei's soft and hard work.
