Chapter 46 Diocletian
"The Tuoba clan took power, changed the country's name to Wei, and began to actively learn the culture of the Han Dynasty. Maybe it won't be long before there will no longer be pure nomads in the north..."
After the news reached the court, some optimists thought it was a good thing that the Tuoba clan was in power, because the Tuoba clan was not against Sinology and even studied hard. They felt that the Northern Wei Dynasty would be the same as the Northern Zhao countries. In the end
Become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
But not everyone is so optimistic. For example, Liu Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, does not agree with these people's opinions.
"Although the Tuoba family studied Sinology, it was not just a study. According to some news, the Tuoba family recruited famous scholars among the Xianbei people with the intention of creating a culture belonging to the Xianbei people to replace those who currently play key roles in some industries in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The role of Han culture!"
Including weights and measures, currency, etc., the Tuoba clan hoped to completely abolish them, and then use a set of standards set by the Xianbei people to do these things.
In fact, Beiyan and other three countries also did similar things, but unfortunately they failed in the end.
After all, the territory of the Three Kingdoms of Beiyan is small, and many key materials are controlled by the Han Dynasty. They want to promote their own methods. As long as the Han people don't accept it, they will be completely finished!
But the Northern Wei Dynasty was different. The Northern Wei Dynasty had a vast territory. To a certain extent, they did not need blood transfusions from the Han Dynasty to maintain the operation of the entire country.
So they have more room for maneuver. As long as they promote it forcefully, after a period of time, a brand new system will slowly be formed.
"so what should I do now?"
Everyone does not want Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty to establish a culture that belongs to them. This will not only affect the Han Dynasty's future strategy against the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also affect the three countries of Northern Yan.
After decades of cultural invasion, the Three Kingdoms of Northern Yan are now not much different from the Han people. However, the royal families of the Three Kingdoms still remember their identity as Xianbei people. In the past few decades, they have always maintained a considerable relationship with the predecessor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Dai Kingdom.
No one can say when these three companies will turn against each other.
Everyone quarreled for a while, and finally looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. At this time, Liu Xuan leaned on the wide armrest of the dragon chair with his elbows, put his fist on his cheek, tilted his body and looked at everyone without saying a word.
The ministers in the court were already used to the emperor's appearance. Anyway, the emperor was not ambiguous at all when it came to important events, so it didn't matter how he sat. At this time, everyone could not come up with a result, so they turned their attention to the emperor, wanting to see what the emperor was doing.
What is your attitude on this issue?
Should we start fighting directly? Or use other means to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty? Liu Xuan also knew that he had to make a statement at this time. Otherwise, even if the ministers had a plan in mind, they would not know how to say it.
"Shou Cheng, do you have any suggestions?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately had a general direction.
The first question was asked to Ma Teng instead of Xun Yu. The emperor was obviously more inclined to use force to solve the problem!
But this is not actually the case. After Ma Teng has been a captain for so many years, he is no longer just a reckless man who only knows how to lead troops. He has learned to look at problems from a broader perspective.
"Xianbei is not monolithic now. In fact, when the Dai Kingdom was established, some Xianbei people were already dissatisfied, otherwise there would not have been the emergence of the Three Kingdoms of Northern Yan. Now the Tuoba family is plotting to usurp the country and study Sinology. This is also true in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
It caused quite a stir!”
Liu Xuan nodded. In fact, he also favored directly causing trouble within the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"I heard that there is a tribe in the north of Dai Kingdom. It is called Rouran. It is a tribe that firmly retains the customs of nomadic people. I believe they are very dissatisfied with the various measures of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so..."
After saying this, the ministers understood what to do, and Liu Xuan did not need to worry about the next thing. He only had to sit aside and wait for everyone to come up with a result after discussion.
With the abilities of the civil and military personnel under Liu Xuan, it didn't take long to make a detailed plan in just a few words.
Let the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty come forward to support the Rouran tribe and create war pressure on the Northern Wei Dynasty from behind!
The reason for choosing the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was that in the past few decades, compared to the Northern Yan, which had been entangled with the Dai Kingdom, and the Northern Zhao, which was vacillating, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had always been firmly on the side of the Han Dynasty.
Although from time to time it can be investigated that there is some involvement with Dai Guo, but the involvement is not deep.
At the same time, the Yuwen clan has never resisted the sinicization. It can be said that among the three Xianbei vassal states, the Yuwen clan has carried out the most thorough sinicization, and every now and then, the Yuwen clan will send outstanding young disciples to Luoyang for further study to learn the top knowledge of the Han Dynasty.
.
It can be said that even if the Han Dynasty now plans to annex the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Yuwen family will not have much resistance, and even the Yuwen family will immediately become a powerful and prestigious family in the Han Dynasty.
At least now there are many young people from the Yuwen family who can directly join the Forbidden Army. Especially considering the Yuwen family's familiarity with the north, once the Han Dynasty launches a war against the north, these people from the Yuwen family will be reused immediately.
This time can be regarded as a test for the Yuwen family. As long as the Yuwen family can satisfy the Han people, then they will truly become "Han people" in the future, and they will definitely belong to the powerful class.
And with the Yuwen family as cover, the Han's support for Rouran can be completed smoothly. When the Rouran tribe breaks out, the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely attract most of its attention to the war in the north, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war
, it is definitely not possible to engage in any 'academic research' at this time, including the transportation of war supplies, in order to ensure efficiency, we will also use these units that we are accustomed to.
In other words, as long as Rouran is not wiped out for a day, the Northern Wei Dynasty will not be able to smoothly implement their new standards!
Of course, this is also relative. If the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty can really be cruel, the war will be the best opportunity to implement new standards - provided that they have formulated detailed standards, but this is obviously unrealistic, so Liu
Xuan is not worried about this happening.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the Northern Wei Dynasty was trapped in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself, Liu Xuan also sent Sun Ce to the north of the Northern Wei Dynasty to carry out some activities.
I believe that Sun Ce's trip will definitely bring considerable panic to the Northern Wei Dynasty!
At this point, the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty was resolved, and new news was learned from the Ministry of Rites.
"Oh? You mean, Diocletian, who is currently in charge of the Roman Empire, has already set off for the big man?"
According to the speed of the ships purchased by the Roman Empire, the sailing time would be at least more than a year, but even so, they are already the fastest ships today... They don't know what the speed of the warships of the Han Empire is, but they can only see it vaguely.
A battleship larger than the Han Dynasty.
The completely metal hull gave them a huge impact, but after hearing these words back to others, no Roman was willing to believe that a completely metal ship could float on the water, so most people thought that the Han Dynasty's warship
It's just a wooden hull covered with a layer of iron.
In addition, they did not have any chance to board the battleship, not even the envoys of the Roman Empire, so until now they do not know the true strength of the Han Navy - as for the naval guns? They have seen them, but they do not know those few
What are the thick pipes used for?
Chen Lin nodded: "It seems... the Romans regarded the Han Dynasty as a country where gods live. It is said that the Romans believed that coming to the Han Dynasty was a pilgrimage..."
When Chen Lin mentioned this, she found it interesting. She never thought that one day she would be regarded as a god.
But if you think about it carefully, what is the difference between him and the gods now? Aren't the legendary gods long-lived, possessing supreme power, and able to perform many magical methods?
He was able to do all of these. As for the Emperor in front of him, he was no different from a real god.
Who has ever seen a person who is over a hundred years old and still looks like he is in his twenties? Not only His Majesty the Emperor, but also several of His Majesty’s concubines are young and beautiful. Not only have they not aged over the past few decades, they have become more and more beautiful. These
Only true gods can do this, right?
Looking at the strongest people in the court, they are all in the same situation. Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the world, has obviously been there for more than a hundred years. Even if he has not left Luoyang in recent decades, he has never made another move.
, but no one dares to say that Lu Bu should give up this title.
Because... as Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi is still active. Although after Ma Chao left the Yulin Cavalry, he had to confer the title of General Yulin Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, but the most well-known among the Yulin Cavalry is still Lu Lingqi.
It's not that Lu Lingqi frequently participated in wars, but because of Lu Lingqi's identity, many people challenged her, and without exception, these people were defeated easily.
It even included Romans, and the result was that Lu Lingqi's name spread directly to Europe. Everyone in the Roman Empire knew that the Han Dynasty had a powerful and beautiful woman - many Romans who came with the mission for the first time would run away
Going to see Lu Lingqi has almost become a must-do.
This time Lu Lingqi was also involved.
It is said that Diocletian came this time not only to see with his own eyes the excesses of the so-called gods and their incarnations in the human world, but also to see if he could marry Lu Lingqi back.
For this reason, Diocletian prepared a large number of rare treasures as betrothal gifts. After this information was finally delivered to Chen Lin through various channels, the Minister of Rites was speechless for a while.
When Liu Xuan heard this, he felt even more funny.
"This Diocletian... thinks very well... but he is far away from his own country, so he is not afraid of problems within the country?"
Chen Lin wants to know more about this.
"Your Majesty, even if Diocletian continues to stay in the Roman Empire, he will have to abdicate in a few years!"
This is a rule set by Diocletian himself. Perhaps it was with this in mind that he left the Roman Empire and came to the Han Dynasty without any scruples. Perhaps he wanted to get something from the Han Dynasty, so even if he abdicated the throne
He could still ensure his prestige in the Roman Empire.
