Chapter 220: Studying abroad and setting up an embassy
“Now the Qin is our brother and the Huns are our brothers, so we should help our brothers!”
It is not said that now the Qin is strong and the Huns are weak, we must use our strength to Instead of helping the weak, Da Qin is the elder brother, Xiongnu is the younger brother, and the elder brother comes to help the younger brother.
Saying this will make it easier for the Huns to accept it. If you say that you Huns are weak and backward, we are here to help you develop and become stronger and more advanced. Even if it is really well-intentioned, it will make Touman and others feel uncomfortable. Diaphragm response.
Once there is a grudge in a person's heart, even if he agrees to something, he will be tripped up secretly, and these people hold high positions in the Huns. If they are tripped up secretly, the consequences will be even greater.
At least on the surface, you still have to give face to the Huns. Even if you want to devour others immediately, you still have to maintain harmony on the surface.
Sure enough, Touman did not say in a condescending manner, "I am strong and you are weak, we will help you. This is your blessing. You should kneel down happily to thank us", which made Touman feel very comfortable and kind. It feels like being respected. I think the Qin people are not as cruel as the rumors say. They are called tigers and wolves by those in the south, which is quite polite.
Touman followed Jiao Li's words and said: "What His Majesty the Qin Emperor said is absolutely true. Da Qin is an elder brother and the Huns are younger brothers. They should help each other, but I don't know how to help?"
Jiao Li Li smiled and said: "Master Li Nian said, 'China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; there are The beauty of the uniform is called "Hua". Since the Huns are Chinese, how can they not understand Chinese etiquette? But to know etiquette, you must first learn to read and write!"
This was not said by Li Nian, but by Kong Yingda. It was mentioned in the commentary of "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan", but was used by Li Nian to this era.
Touman and the other Xiongnu leaders were startled when they heard these words. What the hell? People from Qin came to teach them how to read and write? What do the people of Qin want to do?
After thinking quickly in their minds, Touman and the leaders did not expect what benefits the Qin people would do to them, what harm would be done to the Xiongnu, no matter how they thought, it would be beneficial to the Xiongnu.
Is it possible that the Qin people have become good people and really regard them as brothers from China? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the Qin people did this!
This is not because Touman and the leaders are stupid, but due to the limitations of the times, using the method of Daiying and Yingjiang to cause trouble in later generations to deal with the Huns is a bit ahead of Touman and others.
Even in later generations, there are still many countries and people who have been successfully deceived by Yingjiang, not to mention Touman and others.
But Touman and others still understand the principle that "cows and horses will not suddenly grow on the grassland." This seemingly harmless help may be more harmful, but they can't think of the harm for a while.
However, Touman and the other leaders thought they had to agree. Looking at the current situation, they would probably have close contacts with the Qin people in the future. When the time came, they would deal with the Qin people, such as doing business, and send people to the Qin people. If the country wants to buy necessities for enjoyment, or even take refuge in Qin when encountering danger, why don't we need a group of Huns who know Qin characters, understand Qin language, and know Qin affairs?
It’s just that who can learn Qin characters and who can learn Qin dialect must be carefully considered. All Huns cannot be allowed to learn. These people must be controlled by them.
Touman asked: "How to learn to read and write? Who can learn?"
Jiao Li said: "Back to Shanyu, we will set up an embassy in the Xiongnu and send some teachers. Secondly, His Majesty the Emperor has given 300 people the chance to study abroad, and Shanyu and the leaders can send people to study in Xianyang. It is up to Shanyu and the leaders to decide who can learn.”
Great Qin didn't care who came to study abroad, whether it was the king's grandson of the Xiongnu or the slaves of the lower class, as long as the Xiongnu could send people to study.
If they are the kings and grandsons of the Xiongnu, then let these people realize the civilization, strength, prosperity, and advancement of the Qin Dynasty, and become spiritual Qin people. After they completed their studies, they returned to the Xiongnu and saw that the Xiongnu were so ignorant and backward. They compared the Xiongnu with the advanced and civilized Qin in their hearts. The gap would make them spontaneously transform the Xiongnu into the Qin Dynasty and adopt the Qin model to reform the Xiongnu.
It would be better if the people who come are Xiongnu civilians or even slaves. In the Xiongnu, they are at the bottom who are oppressed by the Shanyu and the heads. They do not regard them as human beings, but When they studied abroad in Daqin, Daqin treated them as one of their own.
When these people finish their studies, it is estimated that some of them will not want to go back to the Huns at all. Even if some people go back with the ambition to serve the country, if they are bullied by Touman and the leader and become unworthy of human beings, they will think that they are far better than the Huns. As the powerful Qin lived, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will soon have foxes barking.
Under the leadership of this group of insects, how could the Xiongnu live a good life and catch up with the Qin Dynasty? Chan Yutou would rather have the seed? Against his mother!
Whether these people succeed or not, they will cause trauma to the Xiongnu. And if they succeed in overthrowing the rule of the Shanyu and the leader, and they become the new rulers of the Xiongnu, who will they follow in governing the Xiongnu?
Looking to the south, the huge lighthouse of civilization is standing there, why do you need to think too much? Da Qin has used facts to prove the advanced nature and superiority of its civilization, so it can be copied directly.
Moreover, Da Qin and the Xiongnu are both Chinese brothers. It is impossible to get support from Da Qin, such as low-interest loans and technical personnel support...
But because of the urinary behavior of Touman and the Xiongnu leader, They will definitely choose their confidants or descendants. How can civilians and slaves have a chance?
But no matter what class of Huns come to study in Da Qin, in Li Nian's vision, they will eventually cause huge divisions among the Xiongnu and transform them into the shape of Da Qin.
Completely unaware that this was a huge pit, Touman looked at the leaders, who tacitly signaled to Touman that they could agree to the matter.
Touman said: "In that case, we will thank Da Qin for his kindness, but we have to discuss who will go to Xianyang to study before we make a decision."
Seeing this matter, we have decided. After coming down, Jiao Li smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, Shanyu You can discuss it slowly with the leaders, but it is best to choose a child or teenager, who will learn more quickly."
Not only will children and teenagers learn faster, but it will also be easier. Being influenced so that he can be shaped into what Da Qin wants.
Touman nodded and asked: "The envoy just said that he would set up an embassy in our Huns. What does this mean?"
Although I heard the Huns' second envoy talk about an embassy last night, what is the meaning of it? Does anyone in Qin know clearly? After all, this thing was invented by the Qin people.
Jiao Li said: "The embassy is also something mentioned by Mr. Li Nian. Basically, if the two countries formally establish diplomatic relations, they should send envoys to stay in each other's place, and the envoy's residence is the embassy. Responsible for promoting and stabilizing relations between the two countries, handling some matters related to the two countries, and also responsible for delivering some important news between countries. "< br>
"For example, in the future, if the Shanyu has advice for Da Qin, he can summon the ambassador to the Xiongnu and have him pass the advice back to Da Qin so that His Majesty the Emperor will know about it. Another example..."
Jiao Li paused deliberately After a pause, he continued: "If a certain country wants to declare war with Da Qin, it can also inform the ambassador and formally declare war with Da Qin!"
