"Then he bestowed upon this woman the title of Princess Bhikkhu."
"Subsequently, the Uyghur Khan sought to marry a Tang Dynasty princess,"
Emperor Suzong of Tang then married Princess Ningguo to the Uyghur Khan.
"Although this marriage alliance was a failure,"
"But the two countries have maintained a tradition of intermarriage ever since,"
"A total of six noble ladies married into the Uyghur Khaganate."
"The Uyghur Khans after that,"
Even without marrying a Han princess,
"Also, in the name of his nephew, he remotely followed the emperor of the Central Plains."
"There is now more than one Uyghur in the Western Regions,"
"Who can be recognized as a nephew by the Chinese emperor?"
"Whoever is the most legitimate Uyghur Khan!"
Zhao Xiaozhong couldn't help but ask,
"Dynasties have changed hands several times in the Han region,"
"The Uyghurs have actually been acknowledging this all along?"
Yu Yunwen said, "It doesn't matter who is emperor in China."
"It doesn't matter whether it's from the Tang, Song, or Ming dynasties,"
"The Uyghurs just want a title."
"Only with a formal title can there be legal legitimacy."
"Just like the Song and Liao dynasties,"
"Always arguing for Chinese legitimacy,"
"Only by obtaining the legitimate Chinese lineage,"
"Only then can one rightfully possess destiny!"
Zhao Xiaozhong said, "His Majesty said that the will of the people is the destiny of Heaven."
Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "The will of the people is the will of Heaven."
"But how can we demonstrate public support?"
"It all depends on the word 'China'!"
Zhao Xiaozhong seemed to be deep in thought.
Yu Yunwen said, "The Yellow-headed Uyghurs have already become barbarians."
"And it was under Chinese control,"
"Don't get the etiquette wrong then."
"As for the Gaochang Uyghurs,"
"I have heard of its national documents,"
"Besides the Uyghur script,"
"We still use Chinese characters as a secondary language."
"It used Chinese characters and was also a vassal state,"
"We should pay more attention to etiquette."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ma Kuo, of course, wouldn't listen to Yu Yunwen's lectures.
He was drinking with Xiao Wuli at the time.
Now that Uyghur king,
He's definitely the sixth child in the family.
Chapter 1775 Deceit and Treachery
When Yelü Dashi was forced to launch a western expedition after being defeated by the Jin dynasty...
When leading his army through the Gaochang Uyghur region,
The Uyghur king sent warhorses, cattle, and sheep as gifts.
They even cried and insisted on continuing to be a vassal state of the Liao Dynasty.
But it is said that Yelü Dashi's western expedition failed.
The Uyghur king immediately led his troops to greet them.
They wanted to kill Yelü Dashi completely!
"This strong liquor really suits my taste,"
Xiao Wulila drank a cup of white wine in one gulp.
"Although the Emperor of Liang is young,"
"But he is a first-rate hero,"
"My Khan will definitely like it when he sees it."
Ma Kuo cautioned, "Don't drink too much."
"The remaining strong liquor,"
"These are all gifts from His Majesty to Your Highness."
“I know, would I drink all the state gifts?” Xiao Wulila laughed.
Ma Kuo suddenly asked, "Has Yelü Yu seen this person?"
"Is it possible to win them over?"
Xiao Wuli shook his head: "I don't know."
"That bastard truly deserves to die,"
"If he could lead troops to rebel against the Jin,"
"It's barely forgivable."
"If he were to betray the Jin dynasty and flee alone,"
"If I catch him, I will kill him!"
Ma Kuo, however, said, "Even if he escapes alone,"
"Not a single soldier under his command,"
"They should be treated with proper courtesy."
"The better he was treated,"
"The more Khitans willing to betray the Jin, the more people there will be."
The Jin Dynasty was truly ruthless in its betrayal.
Guo the Pharmacist led his troops to defect and become a collaborator.
He made great contributions to the Jin dynasty's conquest of the Song dynasty.
Afterwards, not only was this person stripped of his military power,
They also lured and killed all of Guo Yaoshi's elite troops.
The same applies to Yelü Yudu.
Yelü Yudu was the younger brother of Consort Wen of the Liao Dynasty.
Because his nephew was involved in the struggle for the crown prince position,
He led his army to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.
He made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty's conquest of the Liao Dynasty.
In the end, they still just used it and then threw it away.
Until Yelü Dashi rose to power,
Only then was he allowed to lead troops into battle again.
It was left idle again after Yelü Dashi fled west.
In the end, he was forced to betray and flee by the Jin Dynasty!
In comparison,
The Qing dynasty treated surrendered generals very well.
Ma Kuo, however, was thinking of turning Yelü Yudu against his cause.
This will surely stir up the ambitions of the Khitan people within the Jin territory.
As for where Yelü Yudu fled to...
Ma Kuo didn't care.
This person's status and position are too high.
Once they escaped to Yelü Dashi's place
It's likely that internal strife will continue to occur in the future.
But if they escaped to the Ming Dynasty...
The Ming Dynasty then gained influence over the Khitans.
It's advantageous to the Ming Dynasty no matter what.
Ma Kuo is very cunning.
This time I passed through Lanzhou,
They would also sow discord between the Western Xia and the Uyghurs.
When they arrived at Gaochang Uyghur,
Then apply eye drops to the Western Xia.
They tricked the Uyghur Khan into fighting against the Western Xia.
Whether it will succeed is another matter.
They stir things up every now and then, whether there's a reason or not.
Maybe we can pick a few jujubes.
When the group arrived in Lanzhou,
The negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty are nearing their end.
Just as the two sides were about to sign the peace treaty,
Li Mida suddenly said, "This agreement cannot be signed."
Li Renli asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"
Li Mi said, "The Ming Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have already established diplomatic relations."
"The two countries are sworn brothers."
"And the Liao and Western Xia were like father and son states,"
How can this credentials be signed?
Li Renli asked in confusion, "Wasn't the Liao Kingdom already destroyed?"
Li Mida said, "An urgent official document has arrived from Tokyo."
