Chapter 2437 The Temptation of the Jiamo People
Of course, all of this is Queen Jiamo's idea, and Queen Jiamo looked at Zhao Zhen's appearance and seemed to be deliberately stimulating Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen suddenly burst into laughter and looked at Queen Jiamo who was facing him and said, "Intellectual talent is sometimes more important than arrogance, because wisdom can reduce the power of prisoners, just like you Jiamo people, use wisdom to solve the disadvantage of insufficient force!"
With Zhao Zhen's words, Jiamo's queen expression finally changed. She was a wise woman who saw many things clearly. Jiamo people have amazing technology, all of which come from their wisdom.
With the small, you can still survive on the plateau so nourishingly. This shows that the Jiamo people regard wisdom as more important than force, and at the same time, they also use it to perfection.
The plate armors from the Song Dynasty I saw before are the best evidence. The Jiamo people do not believe in power, but it does not mean that they do not have power. They have wisdom while having power. This is the Jiamo people's "secret weapon".
The deal between the Queen and Zhao Zhen was like a temptation. She hoped that the Song Dynasty was not the kind of person who relied on violence or just relied on strength to rule the plateau.
The best way to test is to start from Zhao Zhen, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. From Zhao Zhen’s words, the Queen of Jiamo knew what kind of person the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was.
As long as you don’t plan to use force, everything is easy to discuss. After all, the force of the Song Dynasty was too strong and had surpassed the perception of the Jiamo people. Any means or mediation must be based on the possibility of winning.
There is no reason why the Jiamo people can survive the previous attacks of the Tubo people. Their wisdom and strength are enough to fight against the Tubo people, but they are not worth mentioning in front of the Song people.
The power of the Song Dynasty is trembling. The Tubo Dynasty was led by Jiaosiluo. The Jiamo people would not know what kind of power the Tubo Dynasty was under the leadership of Jiaosiluo, but it was such a powerful force on the plateau that was destroyed in just a few months under the attack of the Song Dynasty, including more than a month when the Song army besieged Lushe City.
Thinking of this, the Jiamo people had an instinctive fear and didn't know much about the Song Dynasty. It was different from the Song Dynasty's ethics. These made the Jiamo people plan to abandon exchanges with the Song Dynasty forever, but their queen felt that there was no way to leave and bypass the Song Dynasty.
Yes, the Queen's Valley could not bypass the Song Dynasty and "formed its own family" on the plateau alone. Zhao Zhen would not allow it, and at the same time, this was also infringing on the interests of the Song Dynasty.
The easiest way is to compromise with the Song Dynasty and gain a glimmer of hope. At the beginning, the Jiamo clan felt that there was little hope, and the Song army would attack them after ruling the entire plateau.
The turning point came from the officials of the Song Dynasty. They actually arrived at the Queen's Valley and asked to be managed by the Song Dynasty. At the beginning, the Jiamo clan did not intend to compromise with the Song people.
However, after the Jiamo people who left the Queen's Valley told the Jiamo people in detail what they saw and heard in Maergan, the Jiamo people felt that the Song Dynasty had no malice, and at the same time agreed to be controlled by the Song Dynasty and became a people under the rule of the Song Dynasty. Anyway, the Song people would not station troops in the Queen's Valley, nor would they really rule the Queen's Valley. Everything was just for autonomy.
But who knew that after learning that Queen Valley was respected by women, the officials of the Song people immediately changed their attitudes. They even wanted the government offices built for him outside, so they hurriedly left with the official seals of the Song people.
The Queen's Valley was calm for a long time, until the news about Maergan City was constantly passed on. The people in the Queen's Valley believed in wisdom, countless skilled craftsmen and wise men, and were all women.
As the queen of the Queen's Valley, Ru Zhennana is the wisest woman in this valley. She was frightened to find that if the Queen's Valley completely cut off contact with the Song Dynasty, the plateaus will also forget the Queen's Valley, and even the entire Jiamo tribe.
Although it is not obvious at the moment, the Queen's Valley will become a real barbarian in decades. No matter how much wisdom they have, it cannot make up for the lack of resources.
The current gap will only grow bigger and bigger with time. The Jiamo tribe cannot afford such things at all. Moreover, the Jiamo tribe is not as weak as it seems. They are constantly expanding in caves, increasing population, and the resources required are also increasing.
The main reason why Ruzhen Nana resisted the opposition and wanted to contact the Song Dynasty was because of goods, and almost all the goods in the Song Dynasty were needed by the Jiamo clan.
Especially patent medicines and iron tools, these things are not available in the Queen's Valley. The tribe members have to go out far away to collect them. At the same time, they don't know when they can come back or whether they can come back.
If it becomes the autonomous land of the Song Dynasty, it will not affect the ordinary life of the Jiamo clan and can also obtain scarce resources. Wouldn't this be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
Another thing like Zhennana is very clear, that is, as long as it is on the plateau and wherever the Song people are ruled, it is impossible to deal with the Song people, and it is even more impossible to bypass the Song Dynasty and exist alone.
The power of the Song people was too strong. The name of this Central Plains dynasty has now become a terrifying existence. It is considerate to the people under its rule, but it is not a friendly existence for any foreign race.
For example, Zhennana and the elders of the clan weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose to contact the Song Dynasty, but the thoughts between the two sides were too far apart, especially the gap between the customs and thoughts of the Song Dynasty, where men were superior to women, and the Queen Valley, which regarded women as the most, could hardly be compensated.
In fact, Zhennana knew better than anyone what the Queen's Valley needed. The plateau under Tubo's control was not very strict. On the contrary, when Jiao Siluo integrated the Tubo dynasty, he also had to manage local tribes, but he was quite loose. He just sent people to count the heads and collect taxes regularly.
However, the Song Dynasty is completely different now. It not only sets up government offices in local areas, but also collects taxes based on commodity transactions, and builds cities on the plateau.
These are management that Tubo cannot match, and they are also centralized. If the Queen Valley does not have any intersection with the Song Dynasty, then the plateau will be integrated into an iron plate by the Song Dynasty. By that time, not to mention the goods of the Song Dynasty, it is unlikely that it can even do business with other plateau people.
Even if a completely isolated tribe can survive on the plateau, it will be very difficult.
But the officials of the Song people had already left, and even from Maer, he dared to hear from the news that the senior officials of the Song people did not intend to have any contact with the Queen's Valley, which made Ruzhen Nana very worried.
