Diqin Designer

Chapter 218 The Purpose of the Mission

Touman and his men did not care about the second envoy's last sentence, "Violation of the contract will be punished." How dare they violate the contract signed with Daqin? And if Daqin violated the contract, would they dare to punish Daqin?

This contract is actually a covenant and commitment, and sometimes covenants and commitments do not have to be discussed. The key lies in whether the fist is big enough.

If your fist is big enough, even a casual word will become an iron rule and everyone will obey it. If your fist is not big enough, even if you carve the covenant on stone, it will be useless.

After hearing the envoy's words, Touman and the other leaders were completely relieved. It seemed that, apart from killing Maodun, the Qin people had no ill will towards them, and would not use Maodun as an excuse to attack them.

However, after the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, both sides sent envoys to reside in each other's territories and set up embassies. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for them to arrange their own people to go to Qin, who might be able to use them in the future?

Even if they cannot use them for the time being, they can buy the luxurious things from Qin through their own people in Qin and send them back to the Xiongnu for them to enjoy.

Touman and other leaders had the same idea. Once the "sending envoys and setting up embassy" was achieved, they must have a part in it. They must also participate in the transaction with the Qin people.

These people have simply lost their ambition and courage, they are not stupid, and have seen the huge benefits that can be brought about. However, they still have doubts in their hearts: why are the Qin people so friendly?
They just don't believe the nonsense that "the Huns were originally one of the Chinese and were brothers with the Qin Dynasty."

According to this statement, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi were also part of the Chinese nation and were closer brothers to the Qin Dynasty. Yet, weren't they destroyed one after another by the Qin Dynasty?

What the hell is this return to China? Isn't it just destroying other countries and forcibly taking away their land and people?
The Qin people treated them so kindly. Could it be that the Qin people were just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and not as scary as they thought?
This should be impossible. They have dealt with Yan and Zhao many times and are well aware of how terrible the Yan and Zhao people are. However, both Yan and Zhao were destroyed by Qin. Qin must be stronger than Yan and Zhao, and naturally stronger than them.

Then there is only one possibility: it is not easy for the Qin people to send troops now, so we should treat them kindly.

Come to think of it, after Qin conquered the six kingdoms in the south and occupied such a large area, it must have eliminated the remnants of the original six kingdoms and appeased and governed the people of the original six kingdoms. It would not be able to spare the strength to target them in a short period of time.

With this thought, Touman and the other leaders heaved a sigh of relief. They felt more confident when they formally met with the Qin envoy and discussed various matters with him tomorrow. Although the Qin army was strong, it was difficult to dispatch, so it would not pose a threat to them for the time being.

When Touman and other leaders were asking about the Xiongnu envoys' mission, Chen Ping and Jiao Li were also having a night conversation in a room in the royal court.

After listening to Chen Ping's account of what he saw when he entered the city today, Jiao Li keenly felt that Chen Ping was up to something. He looked directly at Chen Ping and warned him, "No matter what you want to do, don't ruin this mission!"

This guy looks handsome and kind, but in fact he is full of bad intentions and often thinks of shocking things.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Brother Jiao, don't worry. You are the chief and I am the deputy. You are the elder and I am the younger. Even if I have any plans, I will let Brother Jiao know in advance and get his consent."

When entering the city, feeling the gaze of the Hun boy, Chen Ping actually came up with a plan. He would provoke the younger generation of the Huns and let them attack the delegation, preferably causing certain casualties to the delegation. Then he would use this incident to threaten and force the Huns' high-level officials to allow the Qin Dynasty to gain more benefits: such as the city they are in now.

Although it was highly likely that the Han Dynasty would no longer exist, Chen Ping and the Han Dynasty envoys had surprisingly similar ideas. If he had been born in the same era as Zhang Qian, Ban Gu, An Guo Shao Ji, etc., they would definitely have a common language. But when Chen Ping thought about the instructions that Li Nian had summoned them to give before the trip, he gave up the plan.

In fact, Li Nian was also worried that this group of people would cause trouble outside, so he gave them a heads-up in advance. Daqin would definitely cause trouble, but not now.

After listening to Chen Ping's words, Jiao Li's eyes turned into "As expected, you really have bad intentions." Chen Ping said again: "Master Li Nian is thoughtful, and what he told us is better than I thought. It seems to be beneficial to the Xiongnu, but in fact it will plant a great disaster for the Xiongnu."

"And it won't anger the Huns. It's like planting a seed in their body. The seed will grow inside them, stretching them out. When it grows into a tree, it will bloom and bear fruit. Then we can conquer the Huns without bloodshed."

It was only during this time that Chen Ping figured out the hidden intentions behind the contracts drawn up by Li Nian that seemed to be beneficial to the Huns. Killing the Huns without them being visible was the best strategy when the Qin Dynasty could not directly conquer the Huns militarily.

The best part is that this strategy can be used not only on the Huns, but also on other countries. The only hard condition is that the Qin Dynasty is strong enough to make other countries afraid.

Thinking in this way, Daqin is like an extremely bright lamp in the dark night. It seems to be guiding the way forward for other nations, but in fact it is pulling them into the shadow of Daqin and turning them into the shape of Daqin.

What Chen Ping thought was correct. This was exactly the path that Li Nian designed for the Qin Dynasty based on the Eagle Sauce of later generations. Although the Eagle Sauce was a gangster, it was indeed a tyrant on Earth with enormous influence. This could be seen from the attention paid to the election of the leader of the Eagle Sauce.

Moreover, Daqin or China is the beacon of civilization in this era. No country in the world can compare with Daqin. If Daqin does not serve as a beacon to illuminate other countries, does it have to let Egypt, India and Greece do the rest?
Furthermore, this is also necessary in order to spread Chinese cultural ideas to all parts of the world, but the label that Li Nian chose for Daqin is not "democracy and freedom" but "advanced, civilized and powerful."

This era was very simple, and no one understood what democracy and freedom were, but you ate better, wore better clothes, lived better, built bigger cities, and built more beautiful houses. You knew more than I did, and it was tangible and visible.

When other countries saw this, they would naturally feel envious, and then follow and imitate the Qin Dynasty, such as being proud to speak the language of the Qin Dynasty, writing the characters of the Qin Dynasty, valuing things that come from the Qin Dynasty, and being proud of obtaining the household registration of the Qin Dynasty.

The mission of Jiao Li and Chen Ping to the Xiongnu was also an experiment by Li Nian to see whether the Eagle Sauce approach was effective in this era. It was impossible for the Qin army to be spread all over the world for the time being, but its cultural ideas could take the lead.

Although Chen Ping said he had given up the plan, Jiao Li still said, "If there is anything, you must tell me first and don't act rashly."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "As long as the Xiongnu Chanyu and those leaders are not stupid, they will definitely realize that it is not appropriate for the Qin Dynasty to use military force against them at the moment."

Jiao Li continued, "So we still have to compete with the Huns to let them know that Daqin just doesn't want to fight them for the time being, not that it can't beat them!"

　There will be another update in the evening. As expected, the computer is much more comfortable than the mobile phone, but I can’t sit for a long time.
