Chapter 874 Turkic Brutality
Regarding this matter, everyone in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office also held different opinions.
Whether Yu Wentai was willing to take a bite of the delicate flowers on the grassland was naturally not within the scope of the discussion. The dispute mainly focused on whether he should agree to the Turks' request and hand over Uncle Deng and other Rouran remnants to them.
Those who support handing over Uncle Deng to Rouran are very plausible. Even if they do not say that they are currently cooperating with the Turks to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty, just because the relationship between the two parties is closer, there is no reason to shield Uncle Deng and the remnants of Rouran and turn against the Turks.
Rouran had already abandoned the Western Wei Dynasty and had frequent contacts with the Eastern Wei Dynasty when he was still in Anagu. He even invaded the Western Wei Dynasty several times when the two sides still had alliances and relations. The current destruction of the country also made many people in the Western Wei Dynasty applaud, saying that it was the retribution they deserved!
But how can such a decisive decision on national affairs be made based on personal feelings, likes and dislikes?
The Chinese and foreign government officials who oppose this also have sufficient reasons. Although it is true that they have good relations with the Turks at the moment, how can these powerful tribes on the grasslands maintain long-term friendship with China?
Now, under the pressure of the Turks, agreeing to this request not only gave up a means of checking and balancing against the Turks' southern invasion in the future, but more importantly, it damaged the court's credibility.
The remnants of Rouran came to Rouran in desperate need, but it didn't matter if they were turned away or not accepted, or even to add insult to injury, they were simply packaged and sent to Rouran. After all, Rouran was no longer a diplomatic power of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty had no obligation to rescue it.
But now that they have accepted each other and even led Uncle Deng and his party to settle near Jinei, the two sides must have reached a certain consensus and covenant.
Under such circumstances, they were frightened by the pressure of the Turks and handed over their party. Then did the Western Wei Dynasty still have the responsibilities that a big country should have? If the Turks make more excessive demands next year, should they continue to agree?
It is normal for people to hold different opinions and discuss this issue. Because no matter how you choose this matter, it is not the optimal solution. It is just a matter of choosing what benefits you will get and what price you have to bear.
Leaving aside what other people think, Zhongshan Gongyu Wenhu didn't agree with agreeing to the Turkic envoy's request, which was more or less surprising.
After all, jointly attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty with the Turks is something Yuwentai has been working hard to promote recently, and Yuwenhu is now the only one in the Yuwen family, apart from the two Shaojin who are in charge of the business, who has been able to help for many years. There are many disciples of Yu Wentai.
Yu Wenhu did not state too much about his reasons outside. It was not until he followed Yu Wentai back to the inner palace that he spoke again: "I have no objection to delivering Uncle Deng and others to the Turkic envoys and not making enemies with the Turks. It's just that my uncle is anxious. I think the matter of attacking the Eastern Bandits is still open to discussion and there is no need to rush into it.”
Because the previous discussions were all done by the confidants of the Chinese and Foreign Governments, Yuwenhu’s disapproval would not cause any excessive reverie, but Yuwentai still wanted to hear Yuwenhu’s reasons. After hearing this, he frowned and said: “Why do you think that now? Isn’t it appropriate to attack the Eastern Bandits? Do you think this battle is difficult to win?”
"Of course not. Military strategy is not my strength. After going through all kinds of lessons, how can I still dare to make false claims about victory or defeat with clandestine tactics?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu quickly shook his head and said after pondering for a moment: "It's just that the current difficulties in the country cannot be solved by one battle. Li Boshan's climate has become a problem, and he is the opponent who needs to be faced up to and checked. The East Thief Although I am strong, I can resist it from Guanshan. Even if the Lord of Qi is cruel, he will not be able to harm me at all in Guanxi. A big thief is born in the family, and the family is unlucky. From now on, every effort must be carefully considered, and it is not appropriate to waste it outside. ah……"
"It's good to have such cautious intentions, but the current situation is like this. How can we check and balance this person if we are blindly trapped in Guanzhong?"
When Yuwentai heard Yuwenhu's explanation, he frowned again and said.
"Since the confrontation with Li Boshan, and after repeated setbacks, I have been self-examining my shortcomings. When I first took control of Mianbei, I took the opportunity to scrutinize Li Boshan's military records and gained some insight into his internal affairs."
When Yuwenhu said this, he looked at Yuwentai again: "Uncle, isn't it strange that even though Li Boshan has ingenuity and ingenuity, his power always needs to be maintained bit by bit. He has prospered in just a few years. Where can such a large force be supported?"
"He is good at creating new things and uses eclectic strategies, especially not afraid of the old methods. Not long after he entered the government, he dared to propose a plan to ban the Buddha. At that time, I was proud of having a loyal and fearless young disciple, but I never thought that gods and Buddhas were not afraid. , what can be done to deter it?”
After Yu Wentai heard this, he couldn't help recalling the past, and sighed with a sigh, and his expression immediately became complicated: "After Jiangling was defeated, Liang Guo's wealth was fully embraced, and he naturally became more independent of material resources. ”
"This is just a temporary reprieve, but in fact, Li Boshan has already had the skills to amass money, but it was covered up by his numerous personnel methods. Even if I saw that the affairs of his government were confidential, it took a long time. There is a crack.”
While talking, Yuwenhu took out a stack of drawings from his arms and showed them to Yuwentai one by one: "This is a textile machine driven by water power. Using this production can save labor dozens of times. Li Boshan initially only turned to Luo Luo when he asked for work. The purpose of water is to control the water power and use it to gather wealth and bribe local disciples. After he leaves the town of Nanyang, his success will be even greater..."
Before Yu Wenhu finished speaking, Yu Wentai waved his hand and said: "I have known about this for a long time. It is nothing more than a prolific production of cloth. This utensil is also used in the house, and the treasury is getting richer."
"This matter does not depend on things at all, but on use. My uncle also said that the treasury is getting richer. This is the key reason why the Chinese and foreign governments are not as good as Jingzhou! The Chinese and foreign governments and the treasury of the prefectures and counties are gathering things into the treasury. This was not the case under Li Boshan. Once he obtained the treasury, he started large-scale construction and induced rich people from all over the world to gather in his city..."
Without any logic of thinking, it was not easy to understand what the Jingzhou military government had done before. Yu Wenhu also spent a lot of effort to figure out Li Tai's routine of using government finance to promote industry and commerce, and explained his understanding to Yuwentai listened.
At the end, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and made his own conclusion: "Li Boshan seems to be in a catastrophic situation today, but in fact, the method of controlling it has always been in the hands of the Chinese and foreign governments, but they did not pay attention to it in previous years. Li Boshan's medical skills are fundamental Because of the simultaneous development of agriculture and industry and the coordination of business, he was able to gather a lot of momentum in a short period of time. Now I only need to block all sides to prevent goods from entering and exiting. His treasury will gradually become exhausted, and it will be difficult for merchants and goods to get out. If there is no benefit, public resentment will boil over and chaos will break out within three years!”
Let’s not say whether Yu Wenhu’s inference is reasonable or not, but it sounds exciting.
It's just that Yu Wentai, a veteran of the town army, still had some difficulty in understanding and digesting all of this. After listening to Yu Wenhu's description, he still pondered for a long time, but suddenly he raised his hand to cover the root of the sarcoma on his neck, and his face showed a bit of pain. In such a state, the moans in his mouth gradually turned into a low roar: "I'll kill you! Hurry, quickly summon Liang Ren Yin Buhui into the house, he was the one who diagnosed and treated me..."
After seeing this, Yu Wenhu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly left the hall to quickly arrange personnel.
More than an hour later, in the room filled with the smell of mugwort smoke and burnt flesh, Yu Wentai breathed a long sigh of relief, immediately got up from the couch, and looked at Liang Ren, who had just given him moxibustion for pain relief, and smiled happily. Said: "Yin Jun is really a miraculous healer, so admirable! If it weren't for the power of your medicine and stone, I don't know how much pain I would have endured."
Next to him, Yin Buyu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary, I am really ashamed and unworthy of you. When the former came to the clinic, he already told you that he was suffering from a disease that might be caused by liver stagnation, qi stagnation, and stagnation of qi and blood, leading to the growth of carbuncle and the current illness. If it is not deep, the poor people can still relieve it for a while, but if the illness becomes serious, it may not be cured by medicine and stone. The poor people in the old country did not learn much about moxibustion from the kindness of the king. If you want to cure your illness, you can visit a famous doctor in the south."
After hearing this, Yu Wentai just nodded thoughtfully and signaled his soldiers to give away Yin Buyu's gift. Next to him, Yu Wenhu quickly said: "Uncle, your health is the most important thing, and you should not overwork yourself. It's better to listen to this Yin suggested that we visit famous doctors from the south for diagnosis and treatment!”
"No, no! Li Boshan now has the best personnel in the Southern Kingdom. If he visits me, he will be vigilant. If he knows that I am ill, I am afraid he will not be so respectful anymore. Even if he wants to visit, he must do so after he has defeated the East bandits. "
Yuwentai waved his hand and rejected Yuwenhu's proposal, and said in a deep voice, and then sighed: "Although I haven't fully understood your previous plan, I still think it makes some sense. Know how to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and live up to all the previous lessons. . In the end, Li Boshan is your biggest enemy, and all I can do is to hand over this family business more securely to the hands of my descendants."
In the end, Yuwentai decided to continue to cooperate with the Turks to attack Qi. He couldn't bear to spend several years consuming Li Boshan. Besides, this was not a field he was good at. However, he still opened the corresponding authority to Yuwenhu and tried various aspects. Put restrictions on Li Tai.
However, the arrogance and ruthlessness of the Turks exceeded Yu Wentai's imagination. Just as Uncle Deng and others had just handed over to them, these Turkic wolf riders killed all of them, a total of three thousand, directly outside the gate of Chang'an City. Many Rouran remnants.
The strong blood energy persists for several days. Even after many days, when the cattle and horses pass near the city gate and enter the city, they still inevitably convulse and lose control. The occurrence of this incident also made many Kinai citizens who witnessed this tragedy with their own eyes feel ashamed and angry.
They didn't care about the life and death of the Rouran people, but the arrogance of the Turks was deeply etched in their minds, and they could not get rid of it for a long time. When mentioning the Chinese and Foreign Governments that made this decision, everyone shook their heads and sighed, many thoughts they did not dare to express.
