Chapter 246: Armistice
On April 2, 1546, the day after the change of banners of the Northwest Army, in a small conference room of the Jiuxing Hotel in Ganyang City, the foreign ministers of the five countries of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard gathered here to discuss peace with the Zhou family.
This time there were peace talks with the Zhou family, although the Barbarian Bull Empire knew that its country had been abandoned by the other five spirit countries of the Six ** Things Alliance.
However, the Wild Bull Empire learned that the foreign ministers of the other five spirit countries had come to Ganyang City, so they also sent the foreign ministers of their own countries to Ganyang City, hoping that at the negotiation table, the Wild Bull Empire could leave a place to live in the new world.
However, the negotiators of the Zhou family are very resolute in their attitude towards the Barbarian Bull Empire, and all the territory of the Manniu Empire in this world must be handed over, and there is no room for negotiation at this point.
For the other five beast countries, the Zhou family was much more generous, and did not make any requests for land cession, just hoping to get some compensation.
The Foreign Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Ji Keto, said in a deep voice to the foreign ministers of the other four countries: "I think you have already learned the news of the change of the Northwest Army of the Han and Tang Empires.
Now the more than 6 million troops of the Northwest Army of the Han and Tang Empires have been swallowed up by the Zhou army, and the strength of the Zhou family has increased a lot.
I feel that the five countries of ours should sign an armistice treaty with the Zhou family as soon as possible to end this difficult war. ”
As soon as Tykto's words fell, the Foreign Minister of the Black Bear Empire, Vinoka, frowned and said, "If our five countries agree to the conditions of the Zhou family, then what about the Barbarian Bull Empire?" ”
Nadigan, the Foreign Minister of the Red Tiger Empire, sighed and said, "Unless the five of us want to continue this war, it is impossible for the Barbarian Bull Empire to keep its territory on this side of the New World.
According to recent information, the Barbarian Bull Empire has now been captured by the Zhou army, except for Decuika City and some surrounding villages and towns.
Moreover, the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires is constantly gathering troops to the surrounding areas of Detrika City, and I am not optimistic that the Barbarian Bull Empire will be able to hold Detrika City. ”
After Xiang Tao found out that the Barbarian Bull Empire was preparing to start a city defense battle in Detrika City, he only sent some troops to surround Detrika City first, and then the various troops of the Zhou family army continued to attack other areas according to the plan.
In the province of Fedata, several attacking troops directly bypassed the city of Detrika.
By the end of March 1546, except for Detrika City and some surrounding villages and towns, the territory of the Barbarian Bull Empire in the New World had been completely lost.
The Foreign Minister of the Black Bear Empire, Vinoka, hesitated for a moment, "I think I should still call Mr. Glebo of the Wild Bull Empire over and persuade the Wild Bull Empire to accept the conditions offered by the Zhou family."
After all, our six countries signed the Six Events Alliance at the beginning, and it is not appropriate to directly put aside the Barbarian Bull Empire and sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family? ”
Glebo is the foreign minister of the Barbarian Bull Empire, and this time he was sent to Ganyang City to participate in the negotiations between the Six ** Alliance and the Zhou family.
Gurri, the foreign minister of the Silver Wolf Empire, said at this time: "That Mr. Glebo of the Wild Bull Empire is very stubborn.
The Wild Bull Empire has always had illusions and is unwilling to accept reality, and no matter how much we persuaded before, the Wild Bull Empire still demanded to keep the entire province of Fedata.
However, the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires would not agree to return the entire Feida Ta Province to the Manniu Empire.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, on behalf of the Silver Wolf Empire, I agree that our five countries should first sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires. ”
The Silver Wolf Empire can be said to be the most eager among the five beast nations to sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family.
Although the three kingdoms of Golden Lion, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard combined, there are still nearly 9 million army troops in the Violet Province and Calla Lily Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.
But once the Zhou family army launched an attack on these two provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire was worried that the armies of the Golden Lion, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard would follow the example of the Red Tiger army in the previous Barbarian Bull Empire and directly choose to run away.
The high-level leaders of the Silver Wolf Empire know very well that in the face of the current Zhou Family's army, if there is no help from other Spirit Race countries, relying only on the Silver Wolf Empire's own strength, it is not the opponent of the Zhou Family's army at all, and if the remaining four provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire in the new world are not saved, it will not be able to be saved.
Daniel, the foreign minister of the Flying Leopard Empire, followed and said: "On behalf of the Flying Leopard Empire, I also agree that our five countries will first sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family. ”
The Foreign Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Tikto, then asked the Foreign Minister of the Black Bear Empire, Vinoka, "Mr. Vinoka, what is your opinion?" ”
Vinoka, the foreign minister of the Black Bear Empire, said with a wry smile: "Since you all agree, then on behalf of the Black Bear Empire, I also agree to sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family first." ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was kicked open from the outside, and then Glebo, the foreign minister of the Barbarian Bull Empire, walked in angrily.
"Are you going to completely abandon our Barbarian Empire?" Glebo asked, almost gritting his teeth.
The Foreign Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Tikto, waved his hand to the bodyguards outside the door of the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was shut.
Tikto said in a deep voice: "Mr. Glebo, we have made it very clear to you before.
The strength of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires far exceeded the pre-war estimates of several of our countries.
It is already difficult for several of our countries to gain any benefits in this war, so we hope to reach an armistice agreement with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires. ”
The Foreign Minister of the Barbarian Bull Empire, Glebo, laughed angrily and said, "Interests?
How many of you countries are actually talking about interests with our Barbarian Empire at this time?
For the sake of the interests of all Spirit Race countries, our Barbarian Bull Empire has been driven out of the New World by the Zhou Family's army.
But you, allies, are going to abandon our Bull Empire! ”
Nadigan, the foreign minister of the Red Tiger Empire, said: "Mr. Glebo, don't be so angry.
It's not that our five countries want to abandon the Barbarian Bull Empire, it's just that your Manniu Empire is a little unclear about the current situation. ”
What everyone didn't expect was that Glebo, the foreign minister of the Wild Bull Empire, suddenly walked in front of Nadjgan, the foreign minister of the Red Tiger Empire, in a few steps and punched Nadjgan in the face.
Najgan reacted and immediately started a boxing match with Glebo.
In the end, it was the bodyguards outside the conference room door who came in and separated Glebo and Najgan, both of whom were already blue and swollen.
"Najgan, I've been looking at you for a long time.
If it weren't for the treachery of your Red Tiger Empire, why would our Barbarian Bull Empire fall to the current state! ”
"Let me go!
Glebo, if you have the ability, the two of us will continue to fight alone!
Since your Barbarian Empire is not strong, it is better to get out of the new world as soon as possible! ”
"Lift your hands!
Najgan, go head-to-head, I'm afraid you won't make it! ”
Of course, the Foreign Minister of the Wild Bull Empire, Glebo, and the Foreign Minister of the Red Tiger Empire, Nadigan, were not able to continue to fight alone, and the scolding Foreign Minister of the Wild Bull Empire, Glebo, was finally invited out of the conference room.
The Foreign Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, Tikto, then said to the foreign ministers of the other four countries: "Glebo's appearance can only be regarded as an accident.
Since everyone agrees, then our five countries will first sign an armistice agreement with the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires! ”
At this time, in a luxurious private room of the Nine Star Hotel, Hu Yi put down the headphones used for monitoring, and then said with a smile to several subordinates of the Supervision Bureau in the room: "You can report to the marshal, the five countries of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard have fully accepted the armistice conditions offered by our Zhou family!" ”
"Director, what should I do with the Wild Bull Empire?"
"As long as you can defeat Dtrika City, it doesn't matter if you sign an armistice agreement with the Bull Empire or not.
Once the forces of the Wild Bull Empire have left, then don't think about coming back! ”
On the morning of April 5, 1546, the Zhou family formally signed an armistice agreement with the five kingdoms of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopard.
The armistice agreement mainly includes three articles, the first is that the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear will each pay 100 million silver coins of war indemnity to the Han and Tang Empires in the next two months, and the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire will each pay 80 million silver coins of war indemnity to the Han and Tang Empires in the next two months.
The second is that the five countries of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard allow the humans, fox people, cat people, and rabbit people in the territory to freely immigrate to the territory of the Han and Tang Empires, and the five countries are not allowed to seize the property of immigrants for any reason.
The third is that the Zhou family and these five countries exchange prisoners of war, and neither side needs to pay a ransom for the prisoners.
The war reparations of the five orc countries are actually only symbolic.
The reason why the Zhou family insisted on asking for war reparations was to prove to the world that the Zhou family was the real victor in this war.
At present, there are more than 850 million humans living in the five countries of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf and Flying Leopard.
This time, the Zhou family won the war, and those humans living in the beast country will inevitably be in a worse situation next.
After repeated discussions with several high-level officials of the Zhou family, Zhou Rui decided to absorb the human civilians in the territory of these five beast countries, with the territory currently controlled by the Zhou family, even if all the 850 million human civilians were absorbed into the territory, it should not be a problem.
Zhou Rui firmly believes in one sentence, there is great power in numbers!
Zhou Rui asked the five beast nations to agree that the fox people, the cat tribe and the rabbit people could freely immigrate to the Han and Tang Empires, in order to help these three tribes establish a state.
Of course, it can also be said that Zhou Rui was worried about the revival foundation and promised him a huge reward.
In the palace of Noerya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, after Emperor Cosno finished reading the armistice agreement signed with the Zhou family, he couldn't help frowning and said to Prime Minister Salento: "Allowing human beings in our Golden Lion Empire to emigrate to the Han and Tang Empires is likely to cause a large loss of population in the New World of our Golden Lion Empire. ”
Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, our Golden Lion Empire has a population of about 370 million in the New World.
But almost 270 million of them are humans, and we lions and apes combined have only about 100 million.
A very important reason why the Wild Bull Empire is about to be driven out of the New World is that the vast majority of the population of the Wild Bull Empire in the New World are humans.
In the past, it was good that human beings did not have any powerful forces, but now after the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires was born, the 270 million human beings in our Golden Lion Empire are no longer just cheap labor, but also a fatal hidden danger in our Golden Lion Empire.
Therefore, allowing the human beings within the territory of our Golden Lion Empire to immigrate to the Han and Tang Empires is more beneficial than disadvantageous to our Golden Lion Empire! ”
Emperor Kosno said in a deep voice: "But without these cheap labor forces of human beings, the economy of our Golden Lion Empire is likely to suffer a heavy blow. ”
"Your Majesty, labor pains are inevitable, but in the long run, our Golden Lion Empire will not suffer.
If the 18 million square kilometers of the New World are only the lion people and the apes who are attached to our lion people, our Golden Lion Empire can truly be invincible! ”
Emperor Kosno pondered for a moment and said, "Those 270 million human beings, after all, have been ruled by our Golden Lion Empire for more than two hundred years, and presumably not all of them are willing to leave their homeland. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that all human beings be sent out of the country as a gift, and the hidden dangers in our Golden Lion Empire should be completely eliminated."
"The problem is that the armistice agreement clearly stipulates that our five spirit nations are not allowed to seize the property of immigrants, and the wealth in the hands of 270 million human beings is an astronomical amount."
"Your Majesty, a considerable part of the wealth in the hands of those human beings belongs to real estate, as long as the next policy formulated by the empire is appropriate, maybe the empire can take the opportunity to make a big profit."
"Prime Minister, you said that the Zhou family asked the five countries to agree that the fox clan, the cat clan, and the rabbit clan can also freely immigrate to the territory of the Han and Tang Empires, is it that the fox clan, the cat clan, and the rabbit clan have secretly colluded with the Zhou family?"
Prime Minister Salento nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it should be so."
However, the total number of foxes, cats, and rabbits in our Golden Lion Empire is less than 3 million, and even if these fox people, cat people, and rabbit people leave, it will not have much impact on our Golden Lion Empire. ”
When Kosno was the governor, he once carried out an extremely cruel purge of the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people in the Golden Lion Empire, and also formulated various laws and regulations that were very impersonal to these three beast tribes, forcing many fox people, cat people, and rabbit people in the Golden Lion Empire to flee to the other five beast countries.
Therefore, among the six beast countries, the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people in the Golden Lion Empire have the least.
Emperor Kosno said gloomily: "These three tribes are closer to humans in terms of appearance.
If it weren't for my father's obstruction, I would have killed all the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people in the country.
Now that the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires is supporting these three tribes, it is not so easy for the empire to loot the wealth of these three tribes.
When making policies for humans, don't forget to take into account the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people! ”
