Red Mansion Jia Enhou
Chapter 358: Backward thinking is the real backwardness
Jia She said that he would not buy it, and both sides were willing to hand over all of Mobei and Liaodong.
The rest depends on who is more willing to give up.
Jia She put on a cynical look.
In the eyes of the wise men of the Sotu tribe, this seemed a bit greedy.
The head of his family has already given out everything he can, and if he gives more, he might as well just give the entire Tatar to the Great Chu.
The face of the wise man of the Sotu tribe was a little dark.
"Marquis Rong is a little too greedy."
"If it's a big Tartar, my family leader has already given away the best things."
"You want more, do you want to swallow the whole Tartar?"
Jia She remained silent.
He doesn’t know whether he is greedy or not.
He only knew how to maximize his benefits. To put it bluntly, even if the entire Tatar was given to the Chu State, it would not be his.
Unless the emperor can implement the feudal system.
"Sir, why don't you go back and discuss this with your young master?"
"I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now!"
"Marquis Rong!"
The wise man of the Suotu tribe shouted from behind, and Jia She had already stood up and left the Suotu tribe's shop.
As soon as Jia She returned, people from the Tatar Khan came to invite him.
After waiting for such a long time, Jia She finally got on the carriage, the sides of which were covered with black cloth.
Jia She wanted to look outside, but he couldn't.
It was not until they reached the vicinity of the Tatar Khan's tent that Jia She got off the carriage and finally saw the light.
The members of the Great Chu delegation who were accompanying them along the way were also brought here.
"Marquis Rong, please come this way!"
It was Wuzhener who came to contact Jia She, and Jia She, who was dressed formally, nodded slightly.
The news that the Tatar Khan met with the envoys from the Great Chu spread like wildfire.
When Wang Ziteng received the news, he looked anxious in his tent.
Jia She probably knew about his experience in Tatar. If he used him to make a deal with the Tatar Khan, he would be finished.
As expected, the Tatar Khan would sell himself to Jia She.
Wang Ziteng, who knew his own fate, felt deflated at that moment.
Looking towards the window, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be an extra handle on his door.
It goes without saying what this means.
After all this trouble, maybe he really deserved to die on the day he was captured.
Wang Ziteng, whose wife and children were separated, began to cry.
It would be great if he had someone under his command, so that he could lead them out of Tartary.
Jia She met the Tatar Khan.
Jia She's face was indifferent, without any excitement or excitement about meeting the Tatar Khan.
This made the Tatar Khan somewhat dissatisfied.
"Meet the Tatar Khan!"
Jia She simply saluted, and the Golden Wolf Guards on both sides of him began to attack.
"Why don't you kneel before the Khan of Tatar?"
As one sound was heard, several more sounds followed.
Jia She raised his head and stood straight.
Get it clear, it is you who are asking for help from Da Chu, not Da Chu asking you.
Why should he kneel?
He doesn’t even kneel when he sees the emperor, so why should he kneel to you wild kings who came from nowhere?
"Khan also wants me to kneel?"
The Tatar Khan said nothing.
"I am a marquis of the first rank in the Great Chu State. You, Tatar, are merely a minister of the Great Chu State. Why should I kneel?"
Jia She swung his sleeves.
"It seems that the Tatars really have no intention of admitting their mistakes. It is time for me to leave."
Jia She stood up.
Before Jia She could step out of the tent, the voice of the Tatar Khan sounded behind him.
"Why is Lord Rong so anxious? I am also the ruler of a place."
"Although you are a minister of the Great Chu, you must still respect this Khan."
Jia She turned around.
"Then what the Khan means is that I respect you and I must kneel down to show it?"
This is gutter oil traveling through time. Have you eaten too much?
"There is no such rule in my Great Chu!"
Jia She's eyes swept over the Tatars in the tents, and the arrogant Tatar Khan was choked by his words.
"Why is Lord Rong so aggressive?"
The Tatar Khan sat down again.
Jia She couldn't help but laugh.
Is this urgent?
"Khan, please put your identity in the right place before you speak!"
Jia She grabbed the tent and rushed out.
The humiliated Tatar Khan covered his head with his hands. Everyone in the tent looked at Jia She's back and began to curse him.
"Khan, look at him!"
"Then how can Jia She be so disrespectful to you?"
"He should be killed!"
"kill him!!!"
Inside the Tatar Khan's tent, there was a lively atmosphere of chattering.
While Suotu was secretly laughing, he began to fish in troubled waters.
The Tatar Khan's head began to ache.
"Everyone, shut up!"
The Tatar Khan overturned the low table, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became quiet.
The eyes of the crowd looking at the Tatar Khan began to become unfavorable, and the Tatar Khan felt it and regret flashed in his eyes.
But if we don't stop it and kill Jia She, it would be like declaring war on the Chu State.
"Shut up, Khan."
"When the two armies are at war, if they don't kill the envoys and kill Marquis Rong, then they are declaring war on Great Chu."
"Now that the three regions of Liaodong have not been conquered, and we have also provoked the Great Chu, I wonder if you can withstand the attacks from both sides!"
The Tatar Khan took advantage of the situation and revealed the facts before him.
"Sweat!"
Once the truth was revealed, the tent became quiet.
The Tatar Khan took a deep breath.
"Do I need to tell you why the Tatars cannot go south?"
"Now the Great Chu is taking advantage of the situation. Don't you want to move from this barren grassland to the Great Chu where crops can grow and you don't have to fight the severe cold?"
The atmosphere in the tent became increasingly quiet.
"The Great Chu would not just watch us take over Liaodong, so they sent Jia She."
"In addition to him, Yumen Pass is also sending more troops, and the Great Chu in Liaodong has also been sent."
"So what does the Great Chu Emperor want to do? Do you still need me to explain it to you?"
The Tatar Khan blurted it out.
After he said this, a look of relief appeared on his face.
It's uncomfortable to hold it in for too long.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere in the tent, the Tatar Khan showed no regrets on his face.
"Great Khan, why is this different from what you said before?"
"Didn't you say before, Khan, that the Great Chu would not help the Later Jin?"
"Why is Da Chu suddenly helping him now?"
"And send reinforcements!"
As the Tatar Khan expected, someone jumped out. "This Khan also thought so. Originally, Khan thought that the Tatars had the strength to take down the Later Jin in one fell swoop while the Chu was unprepared."
“But there are always people who are unwilling to contribute!”
The Tatar Khan spoke lightly.
How shameless! You are wrong, and you are wrong, but you have to find an excuse for yourself.
Put the blame on other people.
Inside the big tent, everyone had different expressions on their faces. The Tatar Khan was trying to pin the blame for the defeat on them.
"Who is holding the Tatars back in battle?"
"Wu Felt!"
The Tatar Khan did not speak himself, but asked his confidant Wuzhener to stand up.
He was the one who compiled and sent back the Tatar frontline battle reports in Liaodong.
"When the Khan sent troops to conquer the Later Jin, he had already promised to treat the people of the Later Jin well."
"After you sent your troops out, you would burn, kill, and loot whenever you won."
"Although some tribes came to the Later Jin Dynasty to seek refuge, they lived a life worse than cattle and horses. After being bullied, they turned against the Later Jin Dynasty again."
"It led to a desperate resistance against the Tatar attack, which prevented the Khan's army from taking the city!"
The big tent was in commotion again due to the words.
War is plundering. If we don't let them plunder, how can we be worthy of the old and young in the tribe?
"Great Khan."
In an instant, more than one person stood up in the Tatar Khan's tent.
"We cannot agree with the Khan's words."
"If we can't plunder, why should we, the tribesmen, risk our lives?"
These are not the only people who disagree with the Tatar Khan.
The few people who acted as instigators instantly sparked a heated discussion in the Tatar Khan's tent.
The men in the tribe worked hard and survived by plundering.
It is no longer allowed to loot the enemy.
What's the point of this account?
Since we have gained nothing, wouldn't it be better to just let the tribesmen who are fighting on the front lines come back?
Looking at the angry crowd, the Tatar Khan began to wilt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He had once sneaked into the Great Chu when he was young, and at this moment he suddenly realized a problem: the backwardness of the Tatars was not caused by the land, but by people's consciousness.
The Tatars in front of us can only see what is within their reach, but cannot see the future.
The Tatar Khan closed his eyes with despair, for it would be impossible for him to achieve his ambition.
The Tatar Khan overturned the table again, and it rolled down and fell in the center of the tent.
Immediately afterwards, a dizziness struck the Tatar Khan's head, and he closed his eyes and fainted.
The riot in the palace broke out again, and everyone looked at the Tatar Khan.
Until the witch doctor in the Tatar king's tent arrived and carried the Tatar Khan onto the bed behind his tent.
The Tatar witch doctor pried open the Tatar Khan's eyes.
A slightly cloudy eyeball appeared in the witch doctor's eyes.
"The Khan fainted from anger!"
The witch doctor said something that shocked everyone in the king's tent.
Fainted with anger?
Have they said anything excessive?
Wuzhen'er, the Tatar Khan's most trusted confidant, had a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Killing and plundering are not a long-term strategy."
"You can't kill all the people, and the people of the Later Jin Dynasty can't be killed completely either!"
"Anyone who does something too extreme will be punished."
"The reason why the Khan did not allow you to burn, kill, plunder and rob the Later Jin is not only to quickly take down the Later Jin, but also to absorb the Later Jin into the Tatars and unite with them to march south to the Great Chu!"
The people in the big tent were stunned. If this was the case, were they really holding back?
"Now that we haven't taken over the Jin Dynasty, the Chu State has started to make trouble again."
"The Khan has nowhere to vent his anger, so he can only swallow his bitterness. What you said today really hurt the Khan's heart."
The big tent was quiet.
But if we fight a war without plundering, what's the point of fighting the war?
It would be better to let the boys stay on the grassland.
Wu Zhenger sighed.
The smile in Suotu's heart grew heavier.
With the help of the witch doctor, the Tatar Khan gradually woke up.
Then came the Tatar Khan's children, including Princess Jincheng who was rescued by his sixth Khatun.
There was still no expression on Princess Jincheng's face.
Except for her, the remaining seventeen children of the Tatar Khan all gathered around her bed, kneeling and crying.
"Father Khan!"
Seeing the Tatar Khan waking up, all his children looked towards him.
The Tatar prince knelt at the nearest position and held the Tatar Khan's hand.
"Father, are you okay now?"
Looking at his eldest son in front of him, the Tatar Khan said nothing.
This was seen by the six Khatuns, who flashed a look of sarcasm.
The eldest prince of the Tatar Khan is not one of his current six Khatuns.
That's why the Tatar Khan would distance himself from him or would harm him.
The Tatar Khan's eyes swept across the group of children who were surrounding him, and finally fixed his gaze on Jincheng.
"Jincheng, come here!"
The Tatar Khan let go of his eldest son's hand and waved to Princess Jincheng.
Princess Jincheng watched from afar and did not come forward.
A tear fell from the Tatar Khan's eye.
"Jincheng, don't blame Father Khan for being so cruel to you. You are the most like Father Khan among all his children, and you are also the smartest among all his children."
"If you were a prince, your father wouldn't be so cruel to you!"
Princess Jincheng's heart moved, but then this feeling was wiped away.
If she were a prince, she would be even more miserable.
Although Jincheng didn't know why he thought this way, he just had this intuition.
Especially her father, the Khan. If she were a prince, it would be fine if she was incompetent, but if she was too capable, she would probably be suspected and then suppressed.
At that time, she will not only have to face the fierce competition for the Khan's throne, but also the suspicion of her father the Khan. Her life may not be as comfortable as her current life as a princess.
When Jia She returned to the tent where he was assigned, news came that the Tatar Khan had fainted.
After finding out why the Tatar Khan fainted, Jia She forced a smile on his face.
This Tatar Khan was indeed a powerful ruler, but it was a pity that he was born in the wrong place.
Backward thinking is more terrifying than backward technology.
Even if our technology is backward, we can still work hard and conduct research and development.
If one's thinking is backward, there will be no one to turn to. No matter how hard he tries, in the end, it will just be a splash on the calm water. It will not have much effect, let alone bring much influence.
Only when the mind is freed from the shackles can there be resistance.
Jia She suddenly felt a little pity for the Tatar Khan.
He has taken the wrong path. Only by uniting himself and becoming strong can he exert force on the outside world.
"Marquis Rong, the Khan invites you again!"
Not long after Jia She returned, he heard Wu Zheng'er's voice outside the tent.
Knowing that the Tatar Khan was finally going to be sincere, Jia She did not delay this trip and went straight into the Tatar Khan's tent.
The Tatar Khan in the tent did not want Jia She to see his miserable appearance, so he forced himself to stay calm. Finally, he was helped back to his original Khan throne.
Jia She stood and saluted as he had done before, and this time there were no more discordant sounds from inside his tent.
"Maybe the Khan will speak calmly now?"
Jia She became arrogant.
Sometimes you have to be arrogant when necessary, otherwise people will just think you are easy to talk to.
The Tatar Khan nodded weakly.
"The Great Chu sent Rong Hou here, probably because they don't want a war to happen."
"The Later Jin is a villainous country that usurped our Khan and started a war with the Great Chu."
"This Khan is also aware of the problem, which is why he angrily attacked the Later Jin. The Great Chu claims to be a country of etiquette."
"The Tatars are even more willing to cultivate a hundred years of friendship with the Great Chu."
"I know I was wrong about Humen. I am willing to divide the conquered Later Jin into two and send them to the Great Chu!" (End of this chapter)
