Chapter 1416 The Liao Kingdom Can't Beat the Ming Kingdom

Where there is need in Daming, your Gao Clan will go all out?
Doesn't that mean it's a free gift?

I haven't even thought about prostitution for free, you give it away for nothing, just give you pillows when you are about to doze off...

It's kind of interesting.

Su Yonglin almost understood the meaning of the Gao family. After searching for a while, he felt that the Gao family might have realized that the Ming Kingdom's national strategy was not conservative, and felt that there might be some small frictions between Daming and Dali Kingdom in the future.

So they want to have a good relationship in advance and make some preparations.

It seems that no matter when, the elite family will not press the treasure in the same place.

Is not it good?
Actually nothing bad.

Su Yonglin felt that the Gao family might be a useful pawn in the future, and now it has almost shown some united front value, so Su Yonglin decided to meet some of their expectations first.

"In this case, I will accept this gift. After I go back, I will bring my thanks to the head of your family, and tell him that Emperor Daming is very satisfied with these gifts. I hope that Dali can also communicate with me, Daming."

Gao Zhenming rejoiced in the past.

"sure!"

"By the way, since you said so, I really have a bit of a dilemma that I want to consult with Gao."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "As for the barbarian tribes living in the jungles in the southern Sichuan area, Daming still feels a little embarrassed. Some tribes are stubborn and must oppose Daming. So, can the Gao clan persuade the king of Dali? How about sending troops to help?"

Are you going to help out at the beginning?
Gao Zhenming was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, it is estimated that this is the only thing Gao wants to show his value.

In other aspects, I am afraid that Daming does not need Dali so much, but Dali needs more Daming. If he can't show his value in such a place, why should the Emperor Daming treat the Gao family differently?

After thinking for a while, Gao Zhenming gave Su Yonglin a relatively positive answer.

He said that he would go back and have a good talk with his family, and if there was no problem, he would report it to the king of Dali, and ask the king of Dali to send troops to help Daming deal with those stubborn barbarians.

In fact, the Dali Kingdom was also very dissatisfied with those barbarians, and was very unhappy with their forcible practice of becoming second-order traffickers between Dali and Dali, and felt that it was necessary to teach them a lesson.

Su Yonglin nodded in agreement, saying that he would wait for his good news.

Because this wave of gifts came in a bit thick, and as thick-skinned as Su Yonglin was, he was embarrassed to let Gao Zhenming go back empty-handed, so he personally wrote a pair of words "Loyalty for Generations" to Gao Zhenming and asked him to go back and hang it on the Gao family.

Then he returned a salute to Mr. Gao.

One hundred Ming army standard swords and one hundred Ming army standard long spears, plus fifty sets of Ming army standard armor and fifty Ming army standard crossbows.

Feel the bravery of Daming.

Gao Zhenming expressed his deep gratitude for this, and then returned home with some rewards.

After Gao Zhenming left, Su Yonglin announced that he had received the envoys from the Khwarizimo country who had been waiting in Zhongdu for several days, and accepted their gifts.

There are not many gifts, mainly precious metals such as gold, silver and copper, which are relatively portable, not easy to be damaged, and the price is relatively high.

Moreover, according to Alan, the main person in charge of the Khwarazm country mission, they had to travel long distances for a year in order to reach the Central Capital.

During this period, they deliberately bypassed Xiliao and took the grassland route, exhausting many horses and camels, and encountered danger many times during the period, and were attacked by grassland horse bandits. Can't get to Zhongdu.

After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers and taking such risks to come to the Central Capital, is there any reason to come?
Su Yonglin was curious about this and asked Alan why.

Alan does not speak Chinese, and the conversation with Su Yonglin mainly relies on Huta, a businessman from Xiliao who is proficient in two languages.

It is said that Huta is a branch of the nobles of Xiliao, educated and proficient in many languages. Because of offending other powerful and powerful people in Xiliao, they had to flee the country of Khwarizimo to seek asylum.

According to Huta's translation, Alan meant his country was being ruled by Xiliao - a woman enslaved, oppressed, and the people living in dire straits.

But recently, their leader, Ile Arslan, found an opportunity to break free from the control of the female protagonist of Xiliao, Yelu Pusuwan, and wanted to get rid of the control of Xiliao.

Regarding this opportunity, it was related to a tribal group. Because there were some problems with the handling of this tribal group by Xiliao, Il Arslan decided to use this as an excuse to break free from the control of Xiliao.

He wants to become a true independent king.

However, he was worried that Khwarizimo, a country alone, might not be able to support the attack of the Western Liao army, so he tried to find a helper.

He looked west, south and north, and found that there were insects all around him, and it was impossible for him to be his help. border it.

It is said that the big eastern country is different from other insects. It is very strong and has won many battles.

Therefore, he hopes to join forces with the Ming Kingdom to break free from the control of Xiliao, and further counterattack Xiliao. After the war, everyone equally divided the land and spoils of Xiliao.

Il Arslan heard that Xiliao had crossed the grasslands in the past under the leadership of Yelu Dashi and threatened the east. Although he did not achieve much results, he also believed that the existence of Xiliao would not be affected by the great powers of the east. Happy, so I made this suggestion.

"Is the relationship between the Khwarazm country and the Liao country very bad?"

Su Yonglin asked the tiger pagoda, a Western Liao merchant who lived in the kingdom of Khwarizimo alone.

Tiger Tower nodded.

"The Khwarazm kingdom is not completely independent. Dashi, the founder of the Liao Kingdom, once fought against the Seljuk kingdom, the last controller of the Khwarizm kingdom, and defeated the Seljuk kingdom and obtained the Khwarizm kingdom. control of the kingdom, and has always demanded tribute and taxes from Khwarizm.”

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Oh, it seems that after the Liao people were driven away by the Jin Kingdom, they were still doing well in the Western Regions. Yelu Dashi fought against the Jin Kingdom and never won any battles. They were beaten all the way to the west. On the contrary, they got ahead, and it can be seen that the fighting strength of the people over there is not very good."

When Huta was still a businessman, he mainly did business with the kingdom of Khwarizim, and he did not know much about the Ming Kingdom in the Central Plains through that business route, so he also learned from the stories of some business friends that there was a dynasty change in the Central Plains, the Liao Kingdom. The mortal enemy of the Jin Kingdom has been eliminated and replaced by the Han Dynasty Ming Kingdom.

So he simply did an arithmetic problem.

The Liao Kingdom was driven to the Western Regions to survive after being destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin Kingdom was wiped out by the Ming Kingdom.

Then do a simple arithmetic problem, do a little conversion, and you can come to the conclusion that the Liao Kingdom can't beat the Ming Kingdom.

Since the Liao Kingdom could not defeat the Ming Kingdom, then there is an opportunity for the Khwarizimo Kingdom to pursue national independence.

The Ming Kingdom must also not want to see the Xiliao continue to grow, and then threaten its western border, and destroying the Xiliao must be an option.

In order to show his value, Huta made this proposal to the king of Khwarizmo, Il Arslan, and got Il Arslan's permission to let him go out with his cronie Alan. Make the Ming Kingdom propose this joint proposal to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

If an agreement is reached, both Alan and Huta will receive rich rewards, and they will get a piece of their own fief among the territories they will get in the future.

So the two of them were very motivated, and they crossed all difficulties and dangers. After a year, they finally arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty - Zhongdu.
