1447 Taken charge of the Northwest (4)
When the news of the annihilation of the Duchy of Blaise came, the leaders of the Brandenburg opposition, who were still entangled, looked at each other and were collectively silent, no matter what, the third condition could be met!" In private, such a voice came out, the sound of the trombone at the end of the battle was faintly sounded in the hearts of everyone, the last fig leaf of the opposition alliance could be discarded, everyone skipped some of the previous content directly with great tacit understanding, and the progress of the negotiations began to accelerate,
The two sides went directly from war reparations to the demarcation line after the armistice, in fact, everyone knows very well that this is the real important thing.
The sunlight shines down from the colored glass of the zenith, forming a dim yellow pillar of light, and countless points of light are jumping up and down here, like a never-ending dance.
This is the fourteenth day of negotiations, and the situation outside has been turned upside down, but here, it is still the same, and everyone is waiting for the final result
Duo Ze's gaze swept over the somewhat nervous opposition leaders on the opposite side, picked up the water glass on the table with a calm expression, and said in a condensed voice, "What is the ultimate purpose of you in waging such a war? What is the ultimate purpose of resisting the tyranny of the Julils family? "Is it to uphold justice or resist hegemony?" "Don't be kidding, isn't it the end result of all the efforts that everyone has been working hard to grab profits, acquire land, get wealth and greater power?" Now that the Brace and Bathton districts have become a foregone conclusion, we can sit down, wave our knives and forks without cover, and begin the feast of the division of interests, "The previous conditions remain the same, with Brandenburg as the dividing line, and the north and the south are divided!" One of the leaders of the opposition shook his head sternly and said bluntly
"It's hard to feel sincere about such a division! To be honest, your country's army is very strong. In particular, we are frightened by His Majesty's fierce fighting style, as the most important node on the dividing line, handing over Brandenburg to your Majesty is tantamount to handing over the long handle of a sharp sword to the other side, and no one dares to guarantee that your country will not point the arrow at us after annexing Blaise and Baston!" "You are really not confident! Can't you still see it?" Duo Xue took a sip of water, raised his head, and his eyes burned, worthy of being an experienced politician. As for the contradictions within the opposition, he sneered and said heavily, "For my country, which has the advantage of coast, an inland fortress like Brandenburg is actually of no strategic significance, and if our country wants to go to war against you, it can be easily completed by simply sending a fleet!" "This ......"
Several opposition leaders glanced at each other, and this kind of reminder was already a naked and strong threat, and everyone's faces were embarrassed. The mouth is bitter, it's too rampant, and it's really a bunch of barbarians who don't know what fear is, although they don't want to admit it. But this is the reality, the opposing navy has completely controlled the coastline in the northwest, and if it wants to provoke a war, there is no need to attack from Brandenburg. My own worries are more like an embarrassment of having nothing to do with myself, "In that case, why do you have to want Brandenburg!" It's just because my Majesty once promised Fort Julils Ford to help him take Brandenburg as a dowry, this is a promise, no way, my Majesty is a person who keeps his promise!"
Duo Zhi said calmly but directly, "And what you get is the right to speak in the new regions, from now on, the influence of the Julils family will be completely withdrawn from these regions, you will get the desired new regional pattern, and you will become an independent military group that can really compete with the Julils family,
Is it really that simple? Duo Xue touched people's hearts, which made the face of the head of the opposition slightly moved, "Of course, otherwise why would our country come to this troubled water!" Duo Xuan tilted his head, tilted his head and smiled, "Although our Majesty is the marriage of the Julils family, it is only a political transaction, and now our country has fulfilled its commitment" "You are all people who understand, do you think that your Majesty will put the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the disadvantageous situation of starting a war with the entire northwest for the sake of a woman who does not know what to say?" What His Majesty wants is the name of ruling on the northwest coast! That's all!"
"But you suddenly attacked O'Azza and Brace for no reason?, why should we believe what you say?" retorted a young man with a pointed nose and gray hair on the other side,
"Whether it's O'Acha or Brace, it's the northwest coast region, and my majesty is the northwest coast government, as a manager, is it wrong to clean up the disobedient subordinates?" The old man on the other side gritted his teeth and said, this old man is Duke Mandel of Southend, as the strongest country in the alliance, Duke Mandel's appearance is like the ambition in his heart,
"Don't worry, for your understanding, my country is also beneficial!" Duo Xue turned over the cover of Wen Jiàn on the table and handed it to the opposite side, "What is this?" Duke Mandel, who was sitting in the first place on the opposite side, took Wen Jiàn first, his eyes swept over, full of confusion, "This is a trade sharing agreement!" Duo Xue explained with an unchanged expression, "Trade sharing?" For opposition leaders who have never heard such a concept, it is like listening to a book from heaven, but the two words of sharing still make the opposition leaders prick up their ears,
"Yes, we enjoy the mutual benefits of trade together!"
Duo Ze glanced at the sluggish opponent on the opposite side, and felt that it was a bit laborious to explain: "Your fleet can pass through the safe coast and be protected by our navy!
Duoxuan's voice paused, his eyebrows and feet rose slightly,
Vecchia Falcon is really yin enough, these fools must not know that in the Falcon Empire, the goods themselves never need to pay tolls, and the goods are taxed according to the sales, he coughed dryly, and continued, "In exchange, I hope that you can give you the right of passage for trade on land, which is mutually beneficial to you, and in this report, the total trade volume of the Normandy region in the first three months is attached!
Duo Xue pointed to the text with his face, and said seriously, "I believe you also know that my country's maritime trade market is very large, and what you have obtained will greatly exceed your expectations" "3 million gold coins!" This number is like a stone thrown into a pool of water, and it exploded on the spot among the leaders on the opposite side
"Let me see!" Duke Denia, who was sitting next to Duke Mandel, very unceremoniously snatched the text from the oldest Duke Mandel in front of him, "You!" Duke Mandel's angry white beard was cocked, "I'm sorry, it's a bit rude!" Duke Denia said with some embarrassment, Yan Sù's face didn't show any apology,
For this monarch who believes in the supremacy of the military, anything that can solve the military deficit is a good thing, and among the troops gathered in Brandenburg, 40,000 are from Denia, and these troops need to be fed and paid, and the Duke of Denia is worried about this.
Trade sharing, which is quite tempting for countries like Denia by the sea, if you can really enjoy it, Denia's finances can be supplemented to a certain extent, and several other inland areas also value this aspect, everyone knows that the other party is right, the merchant fleet of the barbarians, in the rumors, is like a school of fish in the sea, and the barbarian trade is very prosperous, many countries are actually secretly trading with the barbarians on the northwest coast, and they have gained a lot,
It's just that no one thought that the other party would be able to earn 3 million gold coins a month, which is really unimaginable wealth, even in a country with a population of one million people like Denia, the tax revenue in a year is this amount.
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their heart-warming eyes lit up, but they were still a little hesitant, could there really be such a good thing?
Duo Xue looked at the opponent with a cloudy face, covered his mouth with his hand, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "What do you still have any doubts, the reason why our Majesty is doing this is to let you know that we are not a country that likes war, whether it is to fight O'Acha or unify the Brace and Baston regions, our Majesty is only trying its best to shoulder the responsibility of ruling on the northwest coast! This is a matter of duty, and this agreement is an expression of our country's sincerity.
"In fact, no one wants to see their country in turmoil, and peace is in the interests of both of us!"
"As long as you sign this agreement, it is not only our Northwest Coast that will benefit, but you will also earn a lot of money, if you were still vassals of the Julils family before, now you are the real masters of the southern part of the Northwest Territories," this is the times, no one can stop the wheel of the times, and now the opportunity to push this wheel is right in front of your eyes, give us Brandenburg, and you will create a new history of the Northwest Territories" Duo chose to hold each other very inconspicuously,
"I'll just say, how can there be such a good thing!" After hearing the words, an idea flashed in the minds of the opposition leaders at the same time, as long as this agreement is signed, it is equivalent to officially recognizing the other party's actual control over the northwest coast.
In exchange for a piece of paper for the entire Northwest Coast, this is a ...... deal The Duke of Denia on the opposite side hesitated, picked up the quill on the table, and quickly signed his name,
In any case, this matter is not harmful to Denia, at least, he does not need to think about the other party's intimidating naval fleet, seeing the Duke of Denia at the beginning, several other countries hesitated and signed their names one after another
Coming out of the negotiation field, Duo Xue glanced at Wen Jiàn in the hands of his deputy with a solemn gaze, and the situation in the northwest was finally settled
On October 10, news came that the capital of the Duchy of Brese had been breached by the north-south attack of the Northwest Coast Army, and on October 15, the two regions of Luarka and Skivo by the sea declared their submission to the Northwest Coast Governing District (to be continued......
