Chapter 697: Peace Comes 5
Before coming to Carthage, Zhao Hao knew the general content of this peace talks.
Sipanga ceded two enclaves, Geely ceded an enclave, and Sam was the worst, cutting half a button and two overseas territories.
At present, although there are many places that Meimu has given to Li Yi, the total area is not large. For example, the total area of the city of victory (Zbudara) is only 7 square kilometers, the city of Gangcheng (Huta) is larger, only 19 square kilometers, and the city of Shuzhen (Meria) is 1 square kilometer.
Rather than rewarding Li Yi with these three city seals, Zhao Hao felt that Meimu's approach was more like clearing himself: Seeing no, I didn't ask for your land when I cut it, but gave it to a third party!
The bulk of the territory of the Principality of the Tang Dynasty is still in the Western Hemisphere. The area of Xiao Fei City is nearly 5,000 square kilometers, which is a hundred times the area of the previous three cities combined. However, it is an enclave attached to Sam's Country, which is difficult to operate, and the future will not be small.
Don't you see, did the piece of Huaxia territory cut by the Geely Kingdom a hundred years ago finally be recovered by Huaxia?
Of Li Yi's territory, only 400 square kilometers of the Liguo Islands are not wrong, as long as they are not robbed, they are an ideal vacation spot. However, it is also close to Sam's Country.
Compared with Li Yi's territory, Maim did not give out the area of 14,000 square kilometers, and the Mariana Islands, although only 800 square kilometers, are very well located and very far from the mainland of Sam's country.
"This Mem, it's too stingy." Zhao Hao said.
While Zhao Hao was pointing there, the others were also discussing the Tang Duchy that Mei Mu had sealed.
This principality is so interesting, the territory is divided into five parts, belonging to three different continents, the funniest thing is that Mem kept the largest piece of Bordorico for himself, and the ones given to Li Yi are all corners.
Li Yi naturally ignored everyone's opinions, Mem's country was his country, and it didn't matter how the territory was divided. He took over these cities just because he felt that these cities were special and could be used as the first batch of cities to deal with. Besides, after hiding behind the scenes for so long, it is time for him to come to the forefront.
After the knighthood ceremony, the heads of state came to congratulate Li Yi and congratulate him on becoming a noble lord.
The first to congratulate was King Mehm himself.
"Susanna, where's our gift?" Mem asked.
"Here we are." Suzanne picked up a long box and walked over.
When Suzanne came over, Li Yi also invited Lin Ruyu, Lin Ruxue, Li Ting and others to the stage to receive gifts together.
An hour ago, Lin Ruyu was still maintaining order in Xiao Fei City, but she really wanted to participate in such a knighthood ceremony, so she teleported over.
When many heads of state saw the long row of beauties on the stage, they wondered together: Where did these beauties come from? Why didn't you think that the Lu people of Huaxia were so beautiful before?
Li Yi said that gifts don't need to be expensive, just have commemorative significance, but Mem still wants to give Li Yi a golden scepter.
It's a pity that the people of Carthage are poor, not to mention the gold scepter, not even the silver scepter can't be cast. Later, under the persuasion of his daughter, he gave up the idea of a golden scepter, and only scavenged the silver of the royal family of Nainogo and cast a silver scepter.
Li Yi took the shiny sterling silver scepter that was more than one meter long and chuckled, "Your Majesty, this gift is too valuable." β
"You deserve it, if you give me a little more time, the gold can be cast!" β
Li Yi said: "There is no need for this, it is better to enrich the treasury with gold." β
After Mem finished giving the gift, the second person to come to power was the former king of Nainogo, now the Grand Duke of Nainogo, Vahidai. Nominally, he is still the master of Nainogo, but in reality he is half prisoner, half puppet.
Vahidai blushed and gave Li Yi a jewel-encrusted hat that was handed down from the Nainogo royal family, and then was taken off the stage by two guards. He was castrated not long ago, and his injuries are still not healed.
The third to come to power were King Ngwani IV and Prime Minister Princess Winnie, who presented Li Yi with a bunch of reeds.
The Reed Dance Festival is the largest festival in the kingdom of Swa and is also the king's concubine selection ceremony. According to custom, only young girls who have been tested by Chu women are eligible to participate in the "Reed Festival" activities. In Swa's culture, the reed means chastity. Therefore, according to old legends, if the girl is not the body of a Chu girl, the reed will break in the wind.
At this year's Reed Dance Festival in the Swa, Li Yi also went sightseeing, and assisted Engwani IV in selecting eleven concubines from tens of thousands of maidens. The people of Swa, when they saw that the king had taken so many concubines at once, rejoiced together.
The bunch of reeds brought by Ngwani IV and Princess Winnie was the reed picked by the eleven concubines at the beginning, and it was also stained with the blood of Li Yi who opened the window for their first time, which is very commemorative.
The fourth to come to power was King Dulu VII of Tanga, who gave him a piece of jΔ«ng beautiful coral from Tanga.
Then, the blockbuster gift came.
The fifth president of the blast furnace country, Frwasg, took the stage and presented a sword, which is the sword of the national treasure of the blast furnace country, also known as the "coronation sword of Napoleon I"!
When Napoleon commissioned the sword, he was demanding, using the dazzling French Crown Jewels, especially the beautiful "King of Justice" diamonds. Discovered in 1689 in a famous Indian mine, this 140-carat diamond was crowned by the coronation of King Louis XV and Louis XVI of France.
It was with this sword that Napoleon became emperor at the coronation ceremony of Notre-Dame de Barry!
However, the coronation sword that Fwassg has now sent does not have the "Regent" diamond. The diamond was so famous that Charles X, another king after Napoleon, set it in the crown.
Even without the "Regent King" diamond, this sword is still inlaid with 4 gems that also come from the treasury of the blast furnace country, and it looks jΔ«ng magnificent, revealing an incomparable aristocratic atmosphere.
"Mr. Li Yi, I wish you to become the Grand Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and may the friendship between our two countries and the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty last forever!"
Li Yi shook hands with Fwassg and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency!" β
After Fervasg stepped down, the president of Sam Country came up. Seeing the gift from President Sam Country, everyone gasped - the national seal can also be given away?
This is a big loss of face!
President Sam also felt very embarrassed, and just wanted to hurry up after giving the gifts. Unexpectedly, Mem didn't let him go down, but said happily: "Your Excellency, this gift of yours can be handed over to our Duke of the Tang Dynasty later, because when you and I sign a treaty, I hope this national seal can be used again." If our peace treaty had this seal on it, it would be even more memorable! β
President Sam really wants to smash the national seal in Mehm's face - there is no such a bad person in the world as you!
But he didn't dare!
After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "My gift has been sent, and it's not good to take it back." β
Li Yi said: "Then let's do it, for today's peace talks, I will take your national seal, and then the contract will be stamped with your old national seal and the new national seal at the same time, what do you think?" β
What else can the president of Sam Country say? I could only say with a blue face: "You can do whatever you want!" β
Then, the king of Gili gave him a book of poetry, and the president of Romania gave him an AK47 rifle.
When it was Zhao Hao's turn, he gave a famous painting - "The Wisdom of the Daughters".
The original painting of "The Daughters of Benevolence" is rumored to be the work of Gu Kai of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the painting has long been lost. Now this is a copy of the Southern Song Dynasty, now in the ancient palace museum, is one of the national treasures of Huaxia.
In fact, according to Zhao Hao's meaning, he wanted to send the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", after all, it was a treasure donated by Li Yi to the country, and now it should be returned to the original owner.
Unexpectedly, Li Ting heard that Zhao Hao was going to send "Lanting Preface", and refused to ask for it - what are you kidding, that word was written casually by my brother, and you sent what my brother wrote casually as a baby, isn't this burying people?
Zhao Hao saw that Li Ting insisted on not accepting it, so he had to retreat and choose this "Picture of the Benevolence and Wisdom of the Daughters".
Legend has it that Emperor Cheng of the ancient Han Dynasty indulged in wine and favored the Zhao Feiyan sisters, and the power of the court fell into the hands of his relatives, endangering the Liu regime. In view of this situation, Liu Xiang, the fourth grandson of the Yuan King of Chu, collected the materials such as virtuous concubines, virgin women, and favored concubines recorded in poetry books since ancient times, and edited them into a book called "The Biography of the Daughters" and submitted it to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, hoping that he would learn lessons from it.
According to the feudal code of conduct and morality of women and the consequences brought to the country, the whole book is divided into seven volumes: motherhood, wisdom, benevolence, chastity, righteousness, dialectic, and iniquity.
The original content of this picture was 15 sections, a total of 49 people, and now only 10 sections with a total of 28 people remain. Each character in the painting forms a group of DúLì stories that have a certain relationship.
"Is it Renzhitu? I would rather have a picture of the mother's rites, or a picture of chastity. Lin Ruyu said.
Lin Ruxue said: "You can't be a mother, and you can't be chaste, what do you want those two pictures to do?" β
Lin Ruyu said: "You want to die, my son was raised by me, and I only have a husband, why is it not a mother, why is it not chaste?" β
Li Ting said: "You two pay attention, we are still on stage!" β
Lin Ruyu said: "It's okay, they can't hear it." β
Everyone in the audience really couldn't hear the small muttering of these beauties. Other heads of state also sent gifts behind Zhao Hao.
However, most of the FΓΌhrer's gifts are very ordinary, after all, everyone participating in the war is playing soy sauce, and now the peace talks can come from thousands of miles, which is already very good, and you can't expect people to bring their family money too.
After the lively knighthood ceremony, the heads of state returned to their embassies to rest, while Li Yi's family sorted out gifts in the palace.
Shen Shanshan smiled: "Husband, after calling so many people to watch the ceremony, you are only a duke?" I thought you were going to be emperor! β
Shen Lingling said: "That's it, I also told my mother that tomorrow we can be regarded as the imperial concubine, who wants to be just a duke's little wife." β
"Okay, what about the little wife, being able to be a wife to her husband is not enough for you to be beautiful?" Tang Yun walked over and knocked on her daughter's moon.
Shen Lingling pursed her lips and said, "I didn't say that I didn't want to be my husband's wife, I just wanted to be the imperial concubine." β
Li Yi said: "This kind of occasion is not grand, but the heads of state of hundreds of countries come to congratulate, so it is enough for me to be a duke." If I am the king, how can I have to worship thousands of people, if I am the emperor, how can I also come to the court. β
Lin Ruxue walked over and said, "If you take your time, you are majestic, and we are all waiting for a yellow-faced woman." β
Lin Ruyu said: "That is, when will I become the real queen mother, the mother of the world?" β
Lin Ruxue coughed lightly: "Sister, the mother is the queen in the world." β
Lin Ruyu said: "I want to be the queen mother, the mother of the world, can you manage it?" β
Lin Ruxue said: "Then the whole world has to know that you are disrespectful!" β
Lin Ruyu said: "You hooked your husband much earlier than me, but I have always regarded you as my own sister and did not watch out!" β
Lin Ruxue said: "What you said, if you don't treat me as your own sister, I won't be a kiss?" β
"Okay, okay, you two are old and disrespectful, come over to me." Li Yi hugged the two in his arms and kissed them, "Mom, how is the situation over there in Xiao Feicheng?" β
Lin Ruxue said: "I said husband, can you not use our mother's name to name the city?" As soon as I called my mother's name, I felt weird. β
Lin Ruyu said: "That's right, our Huaxia is particular about the Venerable, to avoid it, look at the level of your name, it's really bad, it's weird for me to call it." β
Li Yi said: "What is there to hide, Huaxia is that there are too many taboo things, what should be secreted, what should not be secreted, and it is this kind of thinking that holds on to the defects that has caused the backwardness of modern times." Then as soon as they fell behind, they went to extremes again, and many people began to **** and forgot who their ancestors were. β
Li Ting said: "I think it's good to use my grandmother's name, like those celebrities in ancient times, what the eldest grandson queen and the like, in order to avoid it, they didn't even leave a name, how sad." The name of a great person, we should say it, such as our Queen Mother of the Tang Dynasty, I should directly call her Yuyu, Yuyu, right? β
Lin Ruyu said: "You dead girl, no big or small, do you really think that when you grow up, your mother won't be able to teach you a lesson?" β
Li Yi said: "Okay, okay, Yuyu, you haven't told me about the situation in Xiao Feicheng!" β
Lin Ruyu said: "What am I thinking, you can know it from half the world, right?" Let me report this kind of thing? β
Li Yi said: "That's different, I like you to tell me." β
Lin Ruyu said: "There's nothing to say, I organized a temporary army to maintain order in the local area, and the people who have fled at present have heard that there is peace, there are no nuclear bombs, and they have begun to move back, in fact, it is still quite **, killing people and setting fires always happen from time to time, and it is too difficult to restore the original stable situation." β
Li Ting said: "Husband, what do we do with those Sam's people who still live in Xiao Fei City?" β
Li Yi said: "What else can be done, confiscate their land, houses, and all real estate, and return to Sam Country with them if they are willing to go, we don't care, those who don't want to leave, issue a temporary residence permit, and then implement militarized management of the entire city, ban guns, martial law, and never tolerate all criminal behaviors, after all, it is the territory of our Tang Kingdom, and outsiders are not allowed to come." β
Li Ting said: "It sounds quite emotional, I don't know how many residents will be left there after a round of tossing." Tsk, the world's largest metropolis, I'm afraid it will be destroyed in our hands! β
Li Yi said: "They can leave if they want, what does it matter to us." Free up the space, and we can multiply. It's a hundred nations peace talks meeting in a while, which of you wants to accompany me? β
"I'll go, I'll go!" Everyone raised their hands.
Li Yi smiled: "Okay, then let's go." β
Lin Ruyu said: "Isn't this good? All countries have only come to the head of state, and our Duchy of the Tang Dynasty is just a Grand Duchy under the Kingdom of Carthage, so many people go? β
Li Yi said: "It's nothing bad, this is our territory, we have the final say!" (To be continued)
