2011 Chapter 2011 Excessive Conditions

"Dear Tian Khan, we came this time with sincerity. The years of warfare are not good for our two countries. Therefore, we hope to stop the war on the border." The middle-aged man said.

Hearing what he said, the emperor of the Da Lu Dynasty raised his eyebrows, and he was obviously a little moved. It was the courtiers below, who had been scolding the country before, saying that they were barbarians and did not understand civilization, but , Now I heard that the other side did indeed have a truce, and they all showed some intentions.

The performance of the people of the Da Lu Dynasty did not escape the eyes of the Feng Jueguo trio. They chuckled in their hearts at the same time, and they looked down on the Da Lu Dynasty even more. At the same time, they were even more concerned about the trip to the Da Lu Dynasty. Is assured.

And that middle-aged man, although on the surface he is very respectful to the Da Lu Dynasty, but this does not mean that he is really afraid of the Da Lu Dynasty. He really respects the Da Lu Dynasty. That is just a polite way of saying. That’s all, he really didn’t dare to think too much about the Da Lu dynasty as it was decades ago. However, after these ten years of war, he had already understood the actual situation of the Da Lu dynasty, and he was early in his heart. There is no awe.

"Stopping the war is indeed good for our two countries." The emperor of the Dalu Dynasty nodded and said.

"Yes, our majesty, the emperor of the country, thinks so too." 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 a truce.

However, his eager performance gave the three envoys of Feng Jueguo a signal, and they all knew the true thoughts of this Tian Khan.

"However, in the past ten years, many sons and daughters from Fengjue have died in battle at the border. If the war is now truce, we need to give them and their families an explanation." The middle-aged man said.

"What's the explanation?"

"We Feng Jueguo warriors can't die in vain, so we need to give some compensation to their families, and our majesty, Feng Jueguo, hope that this compensation can be provided by the Da Lu Dynasty." The middle-aged man said.

The expressions of the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty and the ministers suddenly sank, and the other party's meaning was obvious. This was asking for "war reparations." Usually, at the end of a war, the victorious country would ask the defeated country to do something. There are various reasons for compensation. The reason mentioned by the middle-aged man is only one of them. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, there is only one purpose, and that is to provide money and other compensation from the defeated country. .

However, their Great Lu Dynasty was not a defeated country. Although they have not been able to defeat Feng Jueguo in the past ten years, Feng Jueguo has also failed to defeat them, although a lot of people have been taken away from them. , Food and some other resources, but every time they paid the price, 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 true, it is completely defeated. That is not to say. The monarchs of the Great Lu Dynasty want to end this war only because of this. The war has 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 cost, the Dalu Dynasty also surpassed Feng Jueguo.

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Lu Dynasty wanted to end this war, even if they paid some price, it was okay. Therefore, after hearing the other party’s words, although the faces of the people of the Great Lu Dynasty looked ugly, they did not turn their faces. After all, they were mentally prepared before paying the price.

"How much do you want?" the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty asked.

"Silver five million taels!" The middle-aged man said directly. Obviously, he had predicted that the emperor of the Great Lu 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 tax income in the Great Lu Dynasty is at least 30 million taels a year. If they can end this war. , The annual tax can be increased by at least 10 million taels. Moreover, as long as the national affairs are stable, the more it will increase every year.

Therefore, if the war can be ended by just spending five million taels of silver, it is still a bargain.

"Yes!" After trying to understand, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty nodded.

"Tian Khan is wise!" The middle-aged man bowed deeply and said loudly. However, before the smile on the face of the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty appeared, the middle-aged man straightened up again and said to him : "In addition..."

"More?!" the emperor of the Dalu Dynasty asked.

"Don't go too far. Give you five million taels of silver, which is not bad."

"That's right, you Feng Jueguo is dead. Didn't our Dalu dynasty die on the battlefield? We haven't asked you for compensation yet?"

"Insatiable people!"

The other ministers and those who saw Feng Jueguo seemed to want to make conditions, and they all cried out unhappy.

Originally, it was already a shame to pay the other party's war indemnity. After it was recorded in the history books, they, the officials of the court, were going to be shamed for a hundred years, and it was spread out to the people in the market. , Will despise them.

It can be said that agreeing to pay them war indemnities is already a very unusual thing for everyone in the Dalu Dynasty. If the other party is still not satisfied, it is simply too much.

However, the three special envoys of Feng Jueguo who have been aware of the truth and futility of the Dalu Dynasty did not take the anger of the people to their hearts. In their opinion, these people from the Dalu Dynasty, including their emperor, are nothing but bluffs. , There is nothing to be afraid of. The courage of the people of the Da Lu Dynasty has been on the battlefield, and has been defeated by their brave warriors.

"Tian Khan calms down his anger." The middle-aged man said, "Listen to my explanation."

"You said."

"I said before that our Feng Jueguo came over to grab things and we had no alternative. In fact, we didn't want to, but because the conditions in our place were too bad, we were short of food and clothing every winter, so we came to grab things. In order to avoid such things from happening again, our emperor hopes that the Lu dynasty can provide us with some money and food every year. In that case, if we have food and clothing, we won’t snatch it again.” The middle-aged people don’t. Said quickly.

The emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was originally angry that the other party was greedy, but after hearing the other party's words, he actually felt that there was some truth. If the other party really had food and drink, he would not come to them to grab things. Naturally, there will be no more conflicts.

Moreover, if the supply time is long, it may be that Feng Jueguo will be dependent on them in the Da Lu Dynasty. In that case, it is not a bad thing for them.

"It 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 we have enough food and drink for the people of the country, the details are as follows..."

With that said, 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 it was not good, maybe things were not as simple as he thought. Yes, the request of the other party will not be too simple, if it is simple, do you still need to write it down on the scroll?

Just as the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty was thinking about it, the middle-aged man over there had already opened the scroll and started reading to it.

"The Dalu dynasty provides five million taels of Fengjueguo silver, one hundred thousand pieces of cloth, 30,000 cattle and sheep each, and one hundred thousand quintals of grain..." the middle-aged man, who was Fengjueguo, said The content on the scroll is read one by one.

However, every time he reads one, the monarchs and ministers of the Da Lu Dynasty look ugly, especially the emperor of the Da Lu Dynasty who sits above, his face is gloomy and dripping with water, the big one standing next to him The eunuch can even feel that the anger on his body is constantly rising, and it is possible to explode at any time.

"enough!"

While the middle-aged man was still reading, the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty finally couldn't bear it, slammed his dragon chair and shouted, his voice loud, even if he was standing outside the palace. The guards all heard clearly, and they also felt the anger in the heart of the Emperor from this voice.

"Dear Tian Khan, I haven't finished it yet, please let me finish it." The middle-aged man said, and after that, he actually wanted to read it.

"I've said enough! If you dare to read one more sentence, I'll cut off your head first!" The emperor of the Dalu dynasty scolded angrily, without concealing his inner anger.

The middle-aged man didn't read it any more, but he still looked at the emperor of the Dalu dynasty without humility or arrogance, "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 on the scene understood that he didn't mean much respect at all, and he didn't put their Da Lu Chao in his eyes at all.

"Do you Feng Jueguo have the sincerity of peace talks?" The emperor of the Dalu Dynasty said: "What is the difference between your conditions and Mingqiu?"

"Of course there is a difference, at least, you Dalu dynasty don't have to die." The middle-aged man said.

"Do you think we are afraid of death?" The emperor of the Dalu Dynasty said: "These conditions of yours are too excessive, we can't agree to it!"

Indeed, the conditions that the middle-aged man just put forward were indeed too excessive. Even when they defeated neighboring countries before the Great Lu Dynasty, they did not ask for so much. This is no longer a simple condition. It is simply the humiliation of Chi Guoguo!
