    ??

    When the navy of the Sui army attacked the city with a racket, Fu Yuzhang was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst in the city. He thought that the Sui army was going to launch a massive attack, so he almost abandoned the city and fled.  It was not until the defenders came to report that the Sui army only attacked the city but did not advance. Although the city wall was broken, the Sui army did not launch an attack. Fuyu Zhang did not do anything surprising.

    But afterwards, Fu Yuzhang hated Wang Xiaolin so much that he thought it was Wang Xiaolin who had offended the Sui army and caused these things.

    After Wang Xiaolin returned to the city, if he hadn't been lucky, he would have been pushed out and beheaded by Fuyu Zhang.

    But when Wang Xiaolin told Cai Zhiyun's three conditions, Fu Yuzhang's hands and feet were still cold, his blood surged upwards, and he almost couldn't breathe.

    ¡°Not to mention the aunt, even the uncle can¡¯t bear such harsh conditions.

    Fu Yuzhang tremblingly pointed at Wang Xiaolin and said repeatedly: "You, you still have the nerve to come back!" If Wang Xiaolin hadn't said that they could talk again, Fu Yuzhang would have killed him.

    In fact, Fuyu Zhang can accept both the first and third items.

    After all, killing the ministers of the Sui Dynasty, performing Hajj, and holding hostages were common occurrences in military defeats, and he had long been mentally prepared.  As for spreading Chinese culture, in fact, the upper class of Baekje have been learning it for a long time, but it is just a matter of spontaneity.  For many nobles of the vassal state with ideals and ambitions, Han culture is spiritual food.

    ??????????????????? Baekje has no written characters, so why not use Chinese characters?

    As for making the Baekje Army subject to Sui Dynasty control, it is also acceptable. After all, there are only a few people in the Baekje Army now.  It would be a great joy if the old enemy Silla could be destroyed with the help of Sui Dynasty.

    Only money, which should not be a problem, has become a problem instead.

    The Sui army wanted too much, and they couldn't give it to him even if they sold him.

    In the end, Wang Xiaolin proposed: "Measure Baekje's material resources and win the favor of the country." The worst case scenario is that all the goods in the entire Sixian City should be given to the Sui people. As long as Baekje is preserved, the lost things will always be recovered.

    ¡°Furthermore, Yunzhong also pointed out that the Baekje treasury does not have money, but the eight major families do.  At this time of crisis, all the major families must do their best to contribute to the preservation of the country.

    Of course, the consequences of touching the money of the eight major families will be too serious.

    At this time, Yunzhong advised: "If the Sui Dynasty supports the king, even if the eight major families unite, they will not be able to shake the king's power."

    Fu Yuzhang looked at the ferocious Sui army outside, and at the nobles in the country who had always been in trouble with him, and simply made up his mind to seek compensation from the major nobles.

    So Fuyu Zhang sent Wang Xiaolin to the Sui camp again to discuss the specific amount of money.  Anyway, I am already shameless, so I must pay less.

    At the same time, he summoned all the major families in the city to prepare for a Hongmen Banquet and force money out of everyone's pockets.

    Fu Yuzhang was born into a poor family and made a living by selling potatoes when he was a child. Therefore, he was a little more cunning and unscrupulous than the children of wealthy families. He only cared about the results when doing things and did not care about anything else.

    At this time, it was not only Fuyu Zhang who was afraid, but also the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the city, except for some who had surrendered to the Sui Dynasty in advance, few were relaxed.  This is not because they love this country so much, but because once the country is destroyed, they nobles will be taken to the Central Plains with the king and will never be able to return.  Even if they were lucky enough not to leave, they relied on the country of Baekje to become prominent. If Baekje is dead, they will be as noble as they can be.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT Out the King's Move, I thought Fuyu Zhang was calling everyone to discuss a solution, so a group of officials, big and small, quickly entered the palace.

    Who would have thought that as soon as the gate of the palace was closed, Fu Yuzhang would cry poverty with them.

    The Sui Dynasty has promised not to destroy Baekje, but it requires three hundred thousand yuan.  Of course the Baekje court can't get it out, and Fuyu Chang can't get it out even if he sells himself. You just have to figure it out.

    When the country is in danger, people do their best. Everyone who has money contributes and has the ability to contribute.

    "Everyone was about to curse when they heard this. If you don't have money, you want our money."

    In fact, unless the knife is placed on the neck, many people want money rather than their lives.  Especially when many people need to contribute money for this, everyone will think that if I have more, it will not be more, and if I have less, they will be wise.  Even though they know that the money is very needed.  But since anyone can come out, why does it have to be me.

    When future generations read "History of the Ming Dynasty", they sometimes wonder why Emperor Chongzhen was about to kowtow to everyone, but hundreds of civil and military officials and court nobles refused to pay, even if the Ming Dynasty was about to perish.  Don't they have money?  After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he plundered more than 100 million taels of silver.

    Maybe it¡¯s because carnivores are despicable and greedy.

    But Fuyu Zhang is not an emperor like Chongzhen who grew up in a deep palace and was raised in the hands of women.You have to use the knife.

    Seeing that everyone was unwilling to pay, Fuyu Zhang immediately told everyone that the Sui people wanted to clean up the officials in the DPRK who hated the Sui Dynasty, and asked Baekje to provide a list.  Although he knew that everyone was loyal, Baekje was a weak country and had to sacrifice some people in order to preserve the country.

    When everyone heard this, their faces twitched.  This is intimidation, outright intimidation.  Everyone even wanted to take off their shoes. One shoe sole would help Yu Zhang.

    But everyone knows Fu Yuzhang¡¯s character very well. If you dare not pay, he will really dare to use the Sui people to kill everyone.

    So the nobles felt heartbroken as if they were being cut off, but they had to hand over the money.

    At this time, Wang Xiaolin also represented Baekje in negotiations with the Sui Dynasty.  At this time, he used his sharp tongue and tried his best to bargain.  After several fierce verbal battles, Baekje's compensation was finally reduced from 300,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan.  Of course, Baekje couldn't take out the money. Except for part of it, the rest was paid for with items.

    At the same time, the annual payment consists of 80 million yuan, 5,000 pieces of silk, 50,000 pieces of cloth, and 100 beauties.  It was reduced to 30 million yuan, 2,000 pieces of silk, 30,000 pieces of cloth, 200 beauties, and some other supplies.

    The compensation has become one-tenth of the original amount, and the annual payment has been reduced by more than half. Whoever mentioned it, Wang Xiaolin can say that he did his best.  Although Fuyu Zhang was not satisfied with the result, there was nothing he could do if the knife was in the hands of others.

    On May 15, the Sui Dynasty and Baekje formally signed a city alliance. In addition to the three items proposed by Cai Zhiyun, including the number of Baekje army ships, the number of troops, one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, tariff prices, consular jurisdiction, and the demarcation of leased areas, etc.,  Basically turning Baekje into a semi-colonial country.

    After the agreement was made, Cai Zhiyun led the main force of the Youhou Guards to board Huang Mingjun's navy and rushed to Joseon City to prepare for the final battle with the Silla people.  Also with him was the Baekje Crown Prince Buyeo Uiji.

    Buyeo Yiji was only seventeen years old and had a very filial reputation in Baekje.

    At this time, he understood his responsibility and followed Sui Jun obediently without crying or making trouble, making his mother who sent him away couldn't help but burst into tears.

    As Fuyu Zhang watched the Sui army leave, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He knew that his era was over before it even began. From now on, Baekje would only have the status of a vassal state.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
