Chapter 1003

The reason why Arthur wanted to join the wind force was his own idea. As a second son, he is not respected by his parents as much as the eldest son, nor is he loved by his parents like the third son. He just gets stuck in the middle. His grandmother is not close and his uncle doesn't love him. Tiah's throne had nothing to do with him, and he was a prince, so it was very embarrassing for him to want to serve in the army of TIA. This time, Tang Yin was visiting TIA. He took the opportunity to propose to join the wind force. In his opinion, he was more developed in the wind army than in the TIA army, and he could display his talent better. There is no need to worry about it.

Tang Yin didn't think so much about it. He only thought that with yasuf in his hands, TIA would be more obedient in the future. Of course, Gerald, king of TIA, was the most opposed to the matter, but after all, it was Arthur who proposed it on his own initiative, and Tang Yin had accepted it. Even if he wanted to object, he could not speak up.

After the incident came to an end, Tang Yincai and Gerald talked about the government affairs between the two countries.

Gerald first proposed that he hoped that the wind country would set up a permanent garrison in TIA like the former Ningguo. Tang Yin hesitated a little. It was not that Fengguo was short of troops, but that he was about to fight with Mo, and he stationed his troops in TIA for fear of affecting his own combat effectiveness.

However, as a vassal state, it is also the responsibility to protect the vassal state, which can not be refused. After considering for a while, Tang Yin nodded and agreed. He thought that the eagle army would be stationed in Ningdi, and that a part of its troops could be stationed in TIA. With Tang Yin's approval, Gerald was very happy, and his eyes finally showed a smile.

TIA was a small country with few people. No matter how advanced science and technology, the national strength and military strength were too weak. Even a weak country like Duji could defeat TIA without fighting back. In the past, if there was no Ningjun's protection, TIA would die many times. Now Ningguo no longer exists. TIA can only choose Fengguo as its backing. Although it should be called a vassal state, it will not be reduced to the end of extinction.

After Gerald finished his request, Tang Yin immediately began to talk about the cost of the wind force's assistance to TIA and the compensation for the losses. Tang Yin discussed this matter with Liang Qi in advance. During the battle between Sanshui army and Duji army in TIA, the total number of soldiers killed and wounded generals was close to 50000. Liang Qi thought that two million taels of military expenses plus compensation for losses was acceptable. In addition, a lot of spoils seized by the Feng army were basically the property of TIA, which had been detained by Sanshui army but not returned Ya.

Tang Yin felt that Liang Qi's amount was too small. He added a zero to the sum of two million taels. The lion asked for 20 million Liang.

Gerald and the ministers of TIA did not expect that Tang Yin would ask for so much silver. There were no silver ingots in TIA, only silver coins. If one and a half silver coins were calculated, 20 million taels of silver would be enough for 40 million silver coins. Even if TIA's Treasury was very rich, it would not be able to provide so much money in a short time.

"Your Highness, is 20 million taels too much for people?" Gerald said stiffly.

Tang Yin, with a straight face, said, "does king hardysty feel that he is asking a lot of money? The Sanshui army is the most powerful army in our country. In order to protect the safety of TIA, I did not hesitate to send the strongest army of our country to TIA to fight with Duji army. After a series of bloody battles, the casualties were heavy and more than half of the losses were made up by silver. The king only wanted 20 million taels, which was in consideration of the friendship between the two countries. If King hardysti bargained with him again, he would It's disappointing. "

If he said this to the Dukes in haotiandi's country, the other side would certainly scoff at it. No matter Chuan, Zhen, Mo, an, Zhen, Yu and other countries had a large population, and their human lives were the least valuable. However, TIA was not. TIA was a small country, and always attached great importance to human life. The casualties of Sanshui army in this war were close to 50000, which was an astronomical number Yes.

After hearing Tang Yin's words, Gerald was embarrassed and said: "no, no, no! My highness Feng Wang, I don't mean that. It's just that 20 million taels are too much. TIA can't take out so much money for a while "

" it can be paid in installments! " Seeing that the other side didn't want to bargain, Tang Yin's face softened.

"Ah?" Gerald didn't understand what he meant by this staging branch.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "in five years, 20 million Liang can always be paid off."

It's 20 million taels in five years, and four million taels a year on average. Gerald pondered for a moment and thought that it was acceptable and TIA could afford it. He nodded and said, "OK! In this case, the king can promise His Highness the wind king that he will repay you four million taels of silver a year within five years. "

Yo! Gerald actually accepted it. It seems that TIA still has some oil and water to extract! Tang Yin smiles in his heart, but there is no change in his expression on his face. It seems that this is a matter of course. He said quietly, "you and I will be allies in the future. If TIA is in trouble, our Fengguo will help us. Of course, I hope your country will not be too stingy to me."

"Yes, yes, yes! What your highness Feng Wang said is very true This is the reason why weak countries have no diplomacy. Compared with Fengguo, the area and population of TIA are not even comparable to a county of Fengguo. In front of Fengguo, even if TIA has advanced science and technology and civilization, its actual strength is far from being equal. There is no fairness in the negotiation between the two sides.

Next, Tang Yin and Gerald talked about cooperation between the two countries.To say "cooperation" is actually to discuss how to introduce the civilization, technology and related talents of TYA on a large scale. Although what we are talking about now is how to absorb the essence of TIA, it is not without influence.

TIA is a very interesting country. Its civilization is highly developed, and its various fields are very advanced. For example, the unit of timing can be accurate to one tenth of a second or even one hundredth of a second. However, TIA has no chronology. There is no clear and written record of all historical events. It is just compiled into poems and sung by wandering poets. As for whether the various poems circulated among the people are true or false, it is impossible to verify. In this way, TIA has no history. It was not until TIA became the vassal state of Feng kingdom that the year of Tang Yin's reign was regarded as the first year, which was usually called the first year of Fengli. Later, TIA also began to set up the position of historiographer to follow the example of Fengguo to record the history of his country. Of course, these are also afterwords.

After the whole afternoon, Tang Yin did not have to go to the Sun Temple to meet the high priest, and he directly attended the banquet of the royal court.

The banquets of TIA are similar to those of Bessa. They are very casual and free. There are no fixed seats. They can walk around freely. However, in TIA, the hierarchy is more strict. The whole banquet hall is divided into several blocks. It is considered to be very impolite for the lower class nobility to go to the area of high-level nobility. The banquet held by the royal court is not allowed to be held by non aristocrats Participation, no matter how rich and influential the common people are, is excluded from the gathering of the royal court.

Tang Yin was not interested in this kind of banquet, which was all alien, but he was also able to cope with it. Shangguan yuan rang was very devoted. He had been looking for opportunities to get close to Maria, the eldest princess of TIA. However, Liang Qi was not interested in Marika, but Liang Qi was very indifferent to Marika.

At the banquet, Yasser came to Liang Qi and asked him what position he could get in Sanshui army.

Liang Qi didn't like yasuf, a noble young master in his heart, and did not know how to arrange it. If he is sent out to fight, I am afraid that even the king will not be able to account to TIA in case of three faults and two faults, and the Sanshui army can not support idle people. Once a precedent is set, such things will continue in the future, which will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the whole army. When Arthur came to ask, Liang Qi didn't think about it. Instead, he asked him, "what can you do in the army?"

Arthur was very simple and did not think about it. He said bluntly, "lead the soldiers to fight!"

Liang Qi laughed and looked at the translator standing beside them. He shrugged and said, "Your Highness, you'd better learn the wind first, and then talk to me about leading soldiers and fighting with me." In the battlefield, if the general's orders need to be told to the officers and soldiers by translation, it would be very funny.

As he said, Arthur's face was flushed, but there was no way to refute it. Finally, he nodded and said like an oath: "General Liang, don't worry, I will learn the wind."

"I'm looking forward to it." Liang Qi didn't say anything more. He shook his glass and turned away.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious, and the nobles of TIA did not feel hostile or repellent towards Tang Yin. After all, Fengguo did not conquer TIA by force, but turned TIA into his own country by means of aid, which laid a good foundation for the relationship between the two countries.

When the banquet was over, Gerald arranged for Tang Yin and his party to stay in the palace, but Tang Yin did not refuse.

In the morning of the next day, Gerald came to Tang Yin in person and invited him to the temple to see Angela Tangney, the high priest of TIA.

If you look at the Sun Temple from a distance, it will be very spectacular. If you wait until the temple is near, it will be amazing and can be called a miracle of mankind. The Sun Temple is at least 150 meters up. The base is square and the whole is trapezoid. The top is a huge hall. From below, you can only see the ivory white pillars of the temple. Tang Yin estimates that it will take several years or even more than ten years to build a building of this scale even with modern machinery. It is hard to imagine that such a great building can be completed in this era.

In front of the temple of the sun, both the noble king and the powerful general will appear extremely small, and the worship and solemnity arise spontaneously. This can also understand why the thians revered the sun god so much.

Seeing Tang Yin's exclamation, Gerald was able to say: "it is said that the Sun Temple was created by the sun god in the place where the world was created, which is also the only miracle in the world."

When Tang Yin heard the music of speech, it was also a good thing that he had no history. He could make up the temple of the sun arbitrarily. To say that the temple of the sun was made by the sun god was tantamount to saying that the people of TIA were the people favored by God.
