Chapter 738: Unequal Treaties
Qin Ming's words made the faces of the Southern Emperor and the Manchu Dynasty darken.
I have to admit that Qin Ming is right.
It is true that the southern kingdom asked for peace talks, and now it is only talking about the benefits of both sides here, as if the state of Chu must hold peace talks.
The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom thought for a while and said, "So, what do you Chu State mean?" ”
"It's easy!"
Qin Ming opened his mouth lightly and said, "Our Chu country, there are no heavy losses as you southern country said, heavy losses, it is your southern country."
Therefore, we want to fight, if you don't want to fight, you can, but we must be given good enough conditions, otherwise, everything is nonsense! ”
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he looked at the Southern Emperor.
Nanhuang said: "So, what kind of conditions does the Chu State want? ”
Qin Ming smiled: "It's easy to say, give money, enough money is in place, I, Chu State, will withdraw from the army!" ”
Nanhuang was puzzled: "How much!" ”
Qin Ming said: "One hundred million taels of silver!" ”
"What?"
As soon as Qin Ming's words came out, not to mention the civil and military officials, it was the Southern Emperor, and they all stood up in fright.
"100 million taels of silver??" Nanhuang looked at Qin Ming and said, "You Chu State, why don't you come to rob it?" ”
100 million taels of silver is really a lot, and Qin Ming is probably equivalent to tens of billions of red tickets compared to modern society.
Seeing Nanhuang's reaction, Qin Ming pouted: "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to give it, just keep fighting." Anyway, as long as the southern kingdom is taken, the entire southern kingdom will belong to the Chu country, who cares about the 100 million taels of silver? ”
These words couldn't help but give Nanhuang a head start, making him realize his current situation.
It's just 100 million taels of silver, he really doesn't want to give it, it's half a year's tax.
So, he shook his head and said, "My southern country has suffered a lot of losses, and you still want us to give money?" How can this be true? ”
Qin Ming snorted and said, "What's the matter? Your southern army was beaten badly, do you want our Chu State to give you some support? ”
The emperor of the southern kingdom was speechless and said, "The two will not compensate each other!" ”
Qin Ming nodded: "That's okay, this negotiation is not interesting, so be it, my army continues to advance, this battle still has to be fought!" ”
As he spoke, Qin Ming was about to turn around and leave.
Xue Rengui and Zhu Linglong were stunned throughout the whole process, and when they saw that Qin Ming was leaving, they immediately followed.
Nanhuang's face was very dark, he looked at Qin Ming's back, gritted his teeth, and wanted to order these three people to be killed.
But once killed, then this negotiation will be completely gone.
So, holding back his anger, he said, "Wait a minute! ”
Qin Ming and the three of them stopped, and then Qin Ming turned around and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Nanhuang took a deep breath and said, "100 million taels of silver is too much, I can only give 10 million taels!" ”
Qin Ming pouted: "It's not enough, first of all, the military expenses of my Chu State, the cost of war losses, the compensation and comfort expenses of the families of the sacrificed soldiers, and the cost of mental losses, etc., are more than 10 million taels." ”
Listening to Qin Ming talk about these expenses, the Southern Emperor and the ministers were speechless.
I heard Qin Ming continue: "Besides, my Chu State trekked through mountains and rivers, mobilized 400,000 troops, and ran so far to fight you, and I have already won, and you are now asking for peace and not fighting, 10 million taels of silver, forget it?"
To put it mildly, your ten million taels are not as greedy as a minister of my Chu State, so you are embarrassed to say it? In my opinion, you have no intention of seeking peace in the southern country, so it is better to continue fighting. ”
Nanhuang sighed with a headache and said, "Fifty million taels, my limit!" ”
Qin Ming shook his head: "One hundred million taels, otherwise don't talk about it!" ”
Nanhuang gritted his teeth: "Sixty million taels, no more!" ”
Qin Ming said: "One hundred million taels, no two prices!" ”
Nanhuang's fists were clenched, and now every time he took a step back, it was to make Nanguo's treasury lose a large part of the money.
"It really can't be more!" Nanhuang suddenly opened his mouth majestically, quite imposing.
However, Qin Ming was not affected in the slightest, and still shook his head.
At this time, a minister spoke: "Chu State is so open-mouthed, I'm afraid it's just for money, right?" Anyway, I don't believe you would dare to attack my southern country on a large scale. ”
Qin Ming looked at the minister who spoke, and then said: "It's still the same sentence, don't give money, just fight, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you can try it." ”
The minister snorted: "400,000 troops, thinking that they can attack my southern country?" ”
"The defeat of your 500,000 southern army that I can fight with 400,000 means that your southern army is like garbage. If you want to attack your southern country again, even if you mobilize all the seven or eight hundred thousand troops in the country, you may not be able to stop our Chu army.
With only 400,000 troops, our Chu State can try to see if we can take down your southern country, this price is actually not too big, so do you think we really don't dare to give it a try? ”
Qin Ming confidently analyzed, and these words also made the minister have nothing to say.
The southern capital has lost 500,000 troops, but nothing has been gained.
The state of Chu lost 400,000 troops, but it had the opportunity to take the southern country, and anyone felt that the state of Chu should give it a try.
Thinking of this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all silent.
They found that the state of Chu had every reason to continue the attack.
Nanhuang sat on the dragon chair, sighed, and said, "Eighty million taels ......"
Qin Ming pouted: "Forget it, there's nothing to talk about, at this price, even I can't convince it, let alone convince those 400,000 troops who are like a rainbow." ”
Qin Ming said, turned around and prepared to leave again.
Nanhuang ate his set, and when he saw that he was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said: "Wait, hey, 100 million taels is 100 million taels, I ...... Agreed......"
Qin Ming turned around again and said, "That's right, Emperor Nan, you have finally made a wise choice." ”
The Southern Emperor sighed, his heart was dripping blood, 100 million taels of silver, the next Nanguo Imperial Court, I'm afraid it will be a tight life.
Seeing the sad face of the Southern Emperor, Qin Ming smiled and said:
"Your Majesty the Southern Emperor, why don't I give you a way to make a fortune?"
Nanhuang was puzzled: "What? ”
Qin Ming said: "Check the corrupt officials, check one and steal the house, maybe you will earn back 100 million taels of silver!" ”
When the Southern Emperor heard this, he felt that it made sense, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at Qin Ming with unkind eyes.
Qin Ming smiled, he didn't really think about the Southern Emperor, he just wanted to let them have civil strife in the South.
If there is no thunder method, it will be difficult to deal with corruption if it is detected!
"This negotiation is quite satisfactory, so His Majesty the Southern Emperor, let people draw up a treaty, let's sign each other, right?" Qin Ming said.
Nanhuang nodded, the matter has come to this, this is already the best way to solve it.
After all, the 400,000 troops of the Chu State are still eyeing hundreds of miles away.
So, the Southern Emperor asked people to draw up a treaty, and after the two sides signed this treaty that was not equal, they each held a copy, and Qin Ming smiled with satisfaction.
This contract only stopped the battle this time, but next time, as long as the Chu State found a reason, it could launch an attack again, and this contract would be invalid.
Thinking of this, he sneered.
