Chapter 264 Opening a Port

For the barbarian mission, no matter how difficult the negotiations were, they still had to continue.No matter how rich and prosperous the Central Plains are, they cannot stay for long.

They had to go back, at least with their two little princes, and with some goodwill from their fierce neighbor.

In the snowy November, when the land route was completely blocked, the Han navy sent the mission back to Wowoman King City by sea with [-] warships.

After more than a month of repairs, although the royal city cannot be restored to its previous majestic scene, it can at least be inhabited.

Of course, such a large scale is not needed to simply escort a mission, but the big man also sent his own mission at the same time.

Xu Mingxu, as the leader of the peace talks on the big man's side, is naturally also the leader of this mission.

This time, he didn't bring his own mouse with him.The cold sea breeze in winter, the several days of sailing and the inconvenience of living at sea made this gentleman's spirit not very good. Only by shooting a few spearguns and catching a few big fish every day can he let him vent a little.

The barbarian envoys on the same boat were completely numb.

The appearance of a typical Central Plains literati like Xu Mingxu does not conform to the aesthetics of the barbarians.Even after going through several rounds of negotiations, they knew that this young big official was not easy to mess with, and there was always a trace of contempt in their hearts.

When they saw Xu Mingxu walking around on the deck with a speargun, they even laughed at him: "Master Xu, what are you holding? Be careful not to be swept into it by the sea!"

There is no wind and three feet of waves in the sea, and the degree of shaking of the boat is not comparable to that of the water surface of big rivers.

In fact, on this point, many officials of the big Han are like this, and the members of the barbarian missions are not much better.

Xu Mingxu didn't take it seriously when he was said this way, he continued to cruise around with his heavy spear gun, his feet seemed to be on the deck, very stable.Hearing what the barbarian envoy said, he smiled kindly and said, "Speargun, for fishing. Do you want to try it?"

The barbarian envoys tried, the whole envoy tried, and few of them could handle it, let alone fish with a speargun.

Facts have proved that even barbarians are human beings.These people are only civil servants in the barbarians, and their bodies are not much stronger than the civil servants of the big Han.

When they saw Xu Mingxu easily caught a few fish weighing tens of hundreds of catties with a spear gun, they looked at him in the wrong way.What is this civil servant?This is a monster, right?

When the monster Xu Shaolang disembarked, he was of course the last one.

In Wowoman's royal city, there is an embassy dedicated to receiving distinguished guests from other countries. In this war, it did not suffer much loss.Although the repair sequence of the embassy is late, after a little cleaning, it is only used to entertain the embassy of the big man, which is not too rude.

Dahan's navy was still moored at the port and did not follow in.

After the mission took a day off and changed itself from salted fish to live fish again, they met the king of Wowoman the next day.

Wowoman had no idea what the big man's mission was here for.

Some people even waited for those big ships to unload boxes of jewelry and piles of food.However, those fearsome big ships have no other actions other than mooring at the port and carrying out necessary supplies.

Yesterday, in addition to resting for the big man's mission, it was also for Wowoman to understand the situation.

Wowoman, who learned about the situation from his envoy, was very surprised by this situation.

Last night, they discussed countermeasures overnight, but they couldn't come up with a good solution.

For King Wowoman, it is impossible to say the words "it's a big deal to fight again".Others don't know, but he has a clear understanding of his own military strength.

In a short period of time, he couldn't think of any way to deal with those powerful artillery, and he couldn't do anything about the Han navy that could launch huge combat power on the big river.

Both of these points are unresolved.

They can only let the big man put forward conditions and put themselves in a completely weak position.

But according to the mission, Wo Wo felt that his neighbor's appetite...wasn't that big?

His two princes had already been sent to the palace last night, and the Dahan Mission didn't show any embarrassment.Of course, it was actually when the Wowoman mission was in the capital that they had already collected the ransom money for the two princes first.The Dahan Mission only pays the money and delivers the goods.

King Wowoman is already a little older, and he no longer has the energy to train a new heir.These two princes are his last hope.In this battle, he lost two adult sons—the one who survived, did not resist the deterioration of his injuries, and went to the king city.

These two young sons are extremely important to him.He was relieved to see how well they were being looked after.

While negotiating, he also made his own compromises.

No compromise, after all, he didn't want to give up Wangcheng.This is the foundation of their Wo Woman, and it is also an opportunity for them to strive to counterattack in the future.If they hand it over to others, they won't even have the last chance.

Thinking of the hundreds of warships staying in the port at this moment, he couldn't help wondering: Do they really have a chance?

To put it bluntly, the core of the negotiation of the Dahan Mission is actually only one: the opening of Wangcheng.

In the future, the Dahan caravan will conduct business within the designated area of ​​Wangcheng, including purchasing cattle, sheep and cattle and sheep products.

Among them, what makes Wo Woman feel strange is that the Dahan Mission even said that it would guide the barbarians to produce and make milk powder, and the purchase price they gave was not bad.There were many similar details, which made the barbarians puzzled, but they couldn't find anything that was not good for them.

As the defeated party, although they couldn't directly get a lot of rewards like before, they didn't lose everything like the grassland rules.

They didn't even suffer too much.

The negotiation process went very smoothly, and even though there was a lot of wrangling, the Dahan Mission completed its task within half a month, and left Wangcheng again with the barbarian mission and their credentials.

By the time Xu Mingxu and his party returned to the capital, more than a month had passed.

After the two got married, it was the first time they had been separated for so long.After Tu Hao got the news, he didn't wait for Xu Mingxu to come back, but directly dropped the work at hand, and rode a jujube cake to kill Jiang Danpo, and finally captured his beautiful wife-in-law shortly after leaving the city.

Of course Xu Mingxu was very happy to see Tu Hao, but because of the occasion, he could only drag Tu Hao from the horse back into the carriage first. The first sentence he said after a long absence was: "It's such a cold day, what kind of horse are you riding?" ?”

He frowned, and took off the lambskin gloves that Tu Hao was wearing. Sure enough, his hands were cold: "This kind of gloves are not worth it. What's the use of wearing them in this weather? Jujube cake is not chasing the wind and moon, it's Such a weather... Fortunately, it didn't snow, otherwise it would fall by itself."

The three ponies bought in Taiping County back then were originally intended to coax mice to play, and they were not properly trained.Now that it looks big, it's just that it has a long head but not a long head. If you let the serious pull the cart, you can directly trample the cart to pieces.Usually Tu Hao just rode around his home or the small village for a couple of laps, but if he just rode out at this time, did he want to scare him to death?The snow on the ground hasn't melted yet!

"Hehehe." Tu Hao was just silly and happy when he was scolded, he put his head on Xu Mingxu's arms, and acted sweetly, "Brother, I miss you~"

Xu Mingxu was calmed down by his words, hugged him and kissed him twice restrainedly, and sighed helplessly: "You."

A long absence is better than a newly-married one, which always makes people... unable to get out of bed.

The next day, Tu Mouse asked someone to go to the unit to ask for leave.

The monster Xu Mingxu just went to work the next day after taking a day off for morning exercise.

He went directly to the imperial study room today and informed the Han monarch and ministers of the negotiation results.

Although it does not seem to have gained much benefit on the surface, at least it cannot make up for the loss of this war, but it is also very in line with the positioning of the Han Dynasty as a state of etiquette and a great country, and it has well maintained the plastics that seem to be building a beautiful home together. Brotherhood.

The butcher made a quick calculation in his heart: "They don't have enough property to compensate our losses, so it's better to take it slowly like now."

The opening of ports allowed a large number of goods and culture of the great Han to be integrated into the barbarians, subtly affecting the barbarians.This kind of strong cultural output is more in line with the values ​​of traditional literati like butchers.

This is not to say that traditional literati think that fists are not important, but that they feel that a younger brother who is beaten by fists will one day have a different heart, and this kind of relationship maintained by relying on force is not reliable.

But the relationship maintained by culture is different.One day the barbarians will speak the same words, do the same things, and read the same books as their fellow citizens.At that time, wouldn't they just win without a fight?

The butcher went through it in his mind, and then shifted his calculations to the group of prisoners of war under his hands.

The northern barbarians seem to be more robust than those to the west.The [-] prisoners of war in Raoshui before could be worth three, but now this group of northern prisoners of war must also play a huge role.

Well, it would be even better if someone is good at raising horses.

The butcher's little abacus was clattering, and he held the meeting absent-mindedly. After the meeting adjourned after a while, he was left behind by Boss Zhang.

The butcher looked over suspiciously: What else is there?

Uncle Zhang was about to admit his mistake subconsciously, and immediately thought that he hadn't done anything bad recently, so he straightened his back again: "Brother, the term of office of the little mouse is coming soon, let's move his position, what do you think?"

Eunuch Li, who stood by and waited on him, had an old face that was impassive.He is a slave, and I am afraid that he will never understand why Kong Wu's powerful majesty is afraid of such a frail scholar as Mr. Tu.

If Uncle Zhang knew what his confidant eunuch was thinking, he would point to his senior brother's face confidently and say, "Aren't you afraid to look at such a face?" Like his predecessor.The shadow of childhood cannot be overcome.Both are surnamed Tu, and the little mouse is easy to bully.

No, no, no, the little mouse wants to make money for him, so he can't bully him.

The author has something to say:

Dahan kidnapper ⊙ω⊙: Crooked, barbarian king?Here is a ransom price list to understand.

King Wowoman≧︿≦: The price is negotiable, no money, poor.

Big guy kidnapper ⊙ω⊙: Oh, then let the meat ticket be paid back by yourself.

Meat ticket ⊙△⊙: Huh?

Dahan kidnapper ⊙ω⊙: I see you are a good-looking man, here is a list of hard labor to learn about.

Now it is a wood with a broken body and a strong will.Yesterday I was awesome. When I was running around the house, I was able to put my middle finger into the handle of the cabinet, and then turned it out, click!

Afterwards, I deliberately stuffed it in. The slit was quite narrow. I didn’t know what kind of weirdness I was, why I could bring my fingers in while running_(:з」∠)_
