"Dear God Khan, we came this time with sincerity. Years of war are not good for our two countries. Therefore, we hope to stop the war on the border." The middle-aged man said.
Hearing his words, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty raised his eyebrows, obviously a little moved. It was the courtiers below who had been criticizing Fengjueguo before, saying that they were barbarians and didn't know how to educate them, but , Now that they heard that the other party really intends to cease fighting, they are all a little moved.
The performance of the people in the Dalu Dynasty did not escape the eyes of Feng Jueguo and the other three. They chuckled at the same time in their hearts, and they looked down on the Dalu Dynasty even more in their hearts. I'm sure.
And that middle-aged man, although on the surface, is very respectful to the Great Lu Dynasty, but this does not mean that he is really afraid of the Great Lu Dynasty, he really respects the Great Lu Dynasty, that is just a polite way of saying That's all, if the Great Lu Dynasty is still the Great Lu Dynasty decades ago, he really doesn't dare to have any excessive thoughts, but after these ten years of war, he has already understood the actual situation of the Great Lu Dynasty, and he has already understood the actual situation of the Great Lu Dynasty in his heart. There is no sense of awe.
"Stopping the war is indeed good for both of us." The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty nodded and said.
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of Fengjue Country also thinks so." The middle-aged man said, "But"
"But what?" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty asked involuntarily. His eagerness also showed that in his heart, he really wanted to stop the war.
It's just that his eager performance gave a signal to the three envoys of Feng Jueguo, and they all knew what Tian Khan was really thinking.
"However, in the past ten years, many sons and daughters of our Fengjue country have died in border battles. If the war ends now, we need to give them and their families an explanation." The middle-aged man said.
"What explanation?"
"The warriors of our Fengjue Kingdom cannot die in vain, so we need to give some compensation to their families, and our Majesty of the Fengjue Kingdom hopes that the compensation can be provided by the Dalu Dynasty." The middle-aged man said.
The faces of the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty and those ministers suddenly sank. The meaning of the other party was obvious. This was asking for "war indemnity". Usually, at the end of a war, the victorious country will ask the defeated country to carry out some measures. There are various reasons for compensation, and the reason the middle-aged man said is only one of them. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, there is only one purpose, and that is to make money and other compensations from the defeated country. .
However, their Great Lu Dynasty is not a defeated country. Although they have not been able to defeat Fengjue Country in the past ten years, Fengjue Country has also not been able to defeat them. Although they have taken a lot of people from them , food and some other resources, but every time there is a price to pay, many people died.
In short, in the war between the two sides, it can be said that the Great Lu Dynasty is indeed at a disadvantage, but if it is really a complete failure, that is not to say. The monarchs and ministers of the Great Lu Dynasty want to end this war just because, This war has already consumed a lot of their manpower and material resources, but has not achieved any results. There is really no need to continue. In terms of expenditure, the Great Lu Dynasty also surpassed Fengjue Country.
Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Lu Dynasty wanted to end this war, even if they had to pay some price, it was okay. Therefore, after hearing what the other party said, although everyone in the Great Lu Dynasty looked ugly, they did not turn their backs. After all, they were mentally prepared for paying the price.
"How much do you want?" the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty asked.
"Five million taels of silver!" The middle-aged man said directly. Obviously, he had expected that the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty would not turn his face.
"Five million taels?" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty frowned slightly. This number is not big or small. Their annual tax revenue of the Great Lu Dynasty is at least 30 million taels. If this war can be ended , can increase tax revenue by at least 10 million taels per year, and as long as the country is stable, the further the future, the more the annual increase will be.
Therefore, if the war can be ended by only spending five million taels of silver, it is still very cost-effective.
"Yes!" After thinking it over, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty nodded.
"Heaven Khan is wise!" The middle-aged man bowed deeply and said loudly, but before the smile appeared on the face of the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty, the middle-aged man straightened up again and said to him :"in addition"
"There is more?!" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty asked.¡¯ asked.
"Don't go too far, it would be nice to give you five million taels of silver."
"That's right, people died in your Fengjue country. Didn't our Dalu Dynasty die on the battlefield? We haven't asked you for compensation yet?"
"A greedy person!"
The other ministers, seeing that Feng Jueguo's people seemed to want to raise conditions, all cried out in displeasure.
Originally, it was already a very shameful thing to pay the other party war reparations. After it was recorded in the history books, those high officials in the dynasty would be ashamed for a hundred years. , will also despise them.
It can be said that in the eyes of everyone in the Great Lu Dynasty, promising to pay them war indemnities is already a very unusual thing. If the other party is not satisfied, it is simply too much.
However, the three special envoys of Feng Jueguo, who had already noticed the falsehood of the Great Lu Dynasty, did not take the anger of the people to heart. In their view, these people from the Great Lu Dynasty, including their emperor, were just bluffing , There is nothing to be afraid of at all, the courage of the people of the Great Lu dynasty has already been defeated by their brave warriors on the battlefield.
"Tian Khan calm down." The middle-aged man said: "Listen to my explanation."
"you say."
"I said before that we had no choice but to come here to grab things from Fengjueguo. In fact, we didn't want to. It was just because the conditions in our place were too harsh, and we were short of food and clothing every winter, so we came here to grab things. , in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, our emperor, His Majesty, hopes that the Great Lu Dynasty can provide us with some money and food every year, so that we will have food and clothing, and we will not rob again." The middle-aged man said nothing. Said without haste.
The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was originally very angry at the other party's insatiable greed, but after hearing the other party's words, he actually felt that there was some truth. If the other party really had something to eat and drink, he would not come to them to grab things again. Naturally, there will be no more conflicts.
Moreover, if the supply takes a long time, maybe Fengjue Kingdom will become dependent on their Dalu Dynasty. In that case, it is not a bad thing for them.
"It also makes sense." The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty nodded.
"Tian Khan is wise." The middle-aged man said: "Our emperor doesn't ask much, as long as it is enough for the people of our Fengjue country to eat and drink. The details are as follows"
As he said that, the middle-aged man actually took out a scroll from his arms, and then opened the scroll. The moment he saw the scroll, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty instinctively felt that something was wrong, maybe things were not as simple as he thought Yes, the other party's request is not too simple. If it is simple, is it still necessary to write it down on the scroll?
Just as the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was thinking wildly, the middle-aged man over there had already opened the scroll and began to read to it.
"The Great Lu Dynasty provides Fengjue Kingdom with five million taels of silver, 100,000 bolts of cloth, 30,000 cattle and sheep each year, and 100,000 dans of grain" The middle-aged man of Fengjue Kingdom, according to Read out the content on the scroll one by one.
However, every time he recited a sentence, the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Lu Dynasty became ugly, especially the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty who was sitting above, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and the big man standing next to him The eunuch can even feel that the anger on his body is constantly surging up, and it may explode at any time.
"enough!"
While the middle-aged man was still reciting, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty finally couldn't bear it anymore, slammed his dragon chair and shouted angrily, the voice was so loud that even people standing outside the palace As for the guards, they could hear it clearly, and they also felt the anger in His Majesty's heart from the voice.
"Dear God Khan, I haven't finished reading it yet, please let me finish it." The middle-aged man said, after that, he actually wanted to read it.
"I've said enough! If you dare to say one more sentence, I'll cut off your head first!" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty scolded angrily, with no concealment of his inner anger on his face.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man didn't read any more, but he still looked at the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty with neither humble nor overbearing, "Dear Tian Khan, your attitude is not good for the peace negotiations between our two countries."
At this time, although the middle-aged man still had a respectful look on his face, everyone at the scene understood that he didn't mean much respect at all, and he didn't take them Da Luchao seriously at all.
"You Fengjue Kingdom has the sincerity of peace talks?" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty said: "What is the difference between your conditions and Ming Qiang?"
"Of course there is a difference. At least, you don't need to die in the Great Lu dynasty." The middle-aged man said.
"Do you think we are afraid of death?" The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty said: "These conditions of yours are too excessive, and it is impossible for us to agree!"
Indeed, the conditions put forward by the middle-aged man just now are indeed too much. Even when they defeated the surrounding countries before the Great Lu Dynasty, they did not ask for so much. This is not as simple as simply raising conditions. It is simply a humiliation to Chi Guoguo! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)people. " said the middle-aged man.
