Chapter 4413 Sima Yi Meets Queen Guishuang (Part 1)
However, as long as Guishan becomes more powerful under his governance, the Prime Minister will be able to get more supporters. By then, even some people who want to cause trouble for him will keep their mouths shut.
If possible, Aluqi even wanted to seize some of the cities in Dawan from the Jin Kingdom.
Sometimes, obtaining benefits does not necessarily have to rely on war. With strong military power as the backing, do ordinary people dare to violate it? The Kushan army behind Aluqi is where his confidence lies in negotiating with Sima Yi.
During the conversation with Sima Yi, Aluqi also saw Sima Yi's witty side. When he answered some questions, he often gave people a sense of surprise.
Wise men will appreciate people with wisdom. Through his performance, Sima Yi has been recognized by Aluqi.
Aluqi also promised that he would introduce the queen to Sima Yi tomorrow.
The news that the Jin envoy came to Peshawar has already spread in the city, and many officials and generals are still very interested in the so-called Jin envoy.
After all, the Kushans had little contact with the Han people in the past.
In the palace, the Kushan officials seemed to attach great importance to this matter, which was reflected in their attire. The military generals were wearing armor and looked majestic.
This is very different from the Jin State. If the generals of the Jin State had the power to go to court, they would also have court uniforms.
Queen Kushan was sitting at the top. After seeing all the officials in the court, she said in a clear voice: Let the Jin envoy come in.
Sima Yi has good looks, and his elegant temperament is quite attractive. Coupled with the official uniform of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi looks a bit extraordinary.
Sima Yi, the Jin envoy, met the queen. Sima Yi cupped her hands and said.
Many officials looked at Sima Yi with dissatisfaction. Could it be that the Jin envoys saluted like this after seeing the queen? You must know that the queen is a noble person, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see the queen.
The queen nodded and said: I already know the purpose of the Jin envoy's visit, and I will discuss this matter with the officials in the court.
When talking with people from Kushan, the inconvenience is that we don't understand each other's language, so you need to bring someone with you who understands Kushan language.
Thank you Queen. If Your Majesty knows the Queen's kindness, you will definitely be happy, Sima Yi said.
The queen said: The merchants of Jin State have brought a lot of good things to Kushan. I am also curious about Jin State. I wonder if the envoy can explain the situation of Jin State?
Hearing this, Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said: Jin is a powerful country.
Hearing this sentence, many generals looked a little unhappy. The Kushan Empire's army was so powerful. Could it be that even the Kushan Empire couldn't compare with the Jin army?
The current population of the Jin State exceeds 40 million, and its army exceeds 400,000. Since he is introducing the Jin State, Sima Yi must say that there are more, and this number is not wrong, because there are defenders in each city of the Jin State.
of.
The number of defenders in a city may not be large, but the number of cities in the Jin Kingdom, if added together, just in terms of the number of generals in the army, is jaw-dropping.
Sure enough, after hearing Sima Yi's words, the officials of Guishang showed solemn expressions. If it is as described by Sima Yi, the background of the Jin country is too terrible, with a population of more than 40 million. You must know the current situation of Guishang
The population is just over five million.
The gap in population between the two sides can also reflect big problems.
Although Kushan has an army of more than 200,000, when it comes to actual combat, it will be a huge test for the country's foundation. The Jin Kingdom will have a great advantage due to its larger population.
A real war tests not only the elite officers and soldiers, but also the support from the rear. Otherwise, even if the officers and soldiers win the battle, if the rear cannot provide sufficient support, there will still be big flaws.
of.
The queen nodded slightly and signaled Sima Yi to continue. If Jin had a good relationship with Guishang, she would be able to get more information about Jin through businessmen in the future.
The Jin State had thirteen states, and the vast grasslands and distant Japanese slaves were all occupied by the Jin army's soldiers. The wealth of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty was far beyond what ordinary countries could compare with.
In the envoy's opinion, how does Peshawar compare with the capital of Jin? Aluqi asked.
Peshawar is the pride of the Kushan people, and the solidity of Peshawar will intimidate many enemy troops.
The capital of the Jin Kingdom was ten feet high, with a wide moat, and twelve gates leading in and out of the city. The population of Chang'an and its surrounding areas exceeded one million. Sima Yi did not make a comparison. After all, he was doing business in Guishang.
Regarding the matter, we still need to give some face to the people of Kushan. Just tell some of the situation in Jin and let these people compare.
After hearing Sima Yi's words, many officials looked shocked. They could not imagine how such a magnificent city was built. The key was that Chang'an had too many people.
The capital city alone has a population of over one million. How powerful was the Jin state?
Among the thirteen states of the Jin State, there were many wealthy places... Sima Yi explained the simple situation of the Jin State.
Perhaps some officials had learned about some of Jin's situation through businessmen before, but when such words were spoken from the mouth of Jin's envoys, they still gave people a different feeling.
Through Sima Yi's description, the officials of Guishan saw that the Jin State was extremely powerful, and the lifestyle of the people of Jin State was somewhat different from that of Guishan State. They relied on the city to live, and when danger occurred,
They would hide in the cities. You can imagine how many cities there were in the Jin Kingdom.
This also made the Queen even more curious, especially as the Holy Sage mentioned by Sima Yi was able to lead the Jin army to victory in battles and make the Jin country develop so much. He must be an amazing man.
The arrival of the Jin envoys had a big impact on the officials of Guishang. They originally thought that Guishan was a powerful country, but they did not expect that there was a powerful Jin state across the Western Regions.
In fact, there are records about the Han Dynasty in Kushan. However, the civil strife in Kushan caused the loss of these data. If they saw the strength of the Han Dynasty in the past, they would understand what the situation of Jin is like now.
