Both sides of the negotiation had their own needs, so substantive negotiations quickly began.

Fa Zheng first euphemistically expressed his understanding of the current situation of the Anxi Empire, he did not think that the Roman Empire would definitely invade the Han Dynasty, even if he really came to argue with the Han Dynasty, he believed that the Han Dynasty's firearms would also give them a profound lesson.

Of course, Vologis VI knew what Fa Zheng meant, it was nothing more than that the firearms of the Great Han were the emperor's daughter and did not worry about marrying, and this matter was to rest and beg the Great Han to come to him in peace, not that the Great Han took the initiative to come to him.

To put it bluntly, it is to sell firearms at a good price, or it can be said to rob while the fire is burning, Vologis VI is obviously not good at bargaining, and even all the monarchs and ministers of the Sabbatarian Empire present are not negotiators.

"Honorable Mr. Fazheng, some of the things you said are indeed the status quo of our rest, we really need Dahan as an ally, and we need your advanced firearms technology, please tell me your conditions, let's see if we can make it acceptable to both sides."

This was proposed by the Prime Minister of the Rest Empire, and it was also in the mind of Vologis VI.

Fa Zheng knew that he had completely grasped the initiative in negotiations, and it seemed that compared with the wisdom of the Chinese, the princes of the Anxi Empire were still very "young". Tender!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, with all due respect, compared to the Roman Empire, our common neighbor, the Kushan Empire, is more of a threat to us, and the King of Botuo still has a history of invading the subject countries of the Han Dynasty."

"I hope that there is such a clause in our covenant, if the Han Empire and the Kushan Empire go to war, I hope that the Rest Empire can stand on our side and provide us with help within its ability, such as troops and grain and grass, after all, the rest is much closer to Central Asia than our Central Plains."

Vologis VI thought for a moment and replied in embarrassment: "Mr. Fazheng, we are not good neighbors with the Kushan Empire, they are not respectful to us, and it is not a problem to deal with the Kushan with the Great Han Alliance. ”

"It's just that you also know our current situation, the war with the Roman Empire has restrained most of the troops of Anxi, and our royal legion does not have enough troops to support the Han Dynasty, and those local regimes close to Kushan are not in line with the royal family's ideas."

"I can only promise to provide food, grass and material support, as for sending troops, it depends on the situation, if the Han and Guishan go to war, we don't have pressure from the Roman side, I am willing to assume the obligations of an ally, do you think this is okay?"

Fa Zheng actually knew his answer for a long time, this is just a means of bargaining, asking for the price to pay back on the spot!

How can the wisdom of our ancestors be understood by those who rest in peace?

"Well, what His Majesty the Emperor said is also reasonable, so let's leave the negotiation with those local authorities to me, and I will let them make a wise choice between Dahan and Guishan, as long as His Majesty the Emperor allows me to do so!"

Vologis VI exchanged glances with the prime minister and the deputy prime minister, who was the envoy, and received an affirmative answer.

"Okay, Mr. Special Envoy also understands our national conditions, I won't be hypocritical with you, this system has been handed down for hundreds of years, and I can't change the status quo, especially now in this eventful season, I can't touch them, Mr. Fazheng can give it a try."

"Okay, thank you for your reasonableness, and we have to explain a few points in advance, Dahan can not only provide finished flintlock pistols and matching ammunition to the Sabbath Empire, but also provide the formula of gunpowder and the design principles and design drawings of flintlock pistols."

"If your country needs it, the Han can even help the Anxi Empire build its own firearms production factory, so that Anxi can make its own flintlock pistols and bullets."

"In addition to the joint confrontation with the Kushan Empire, the conditions of the Han Dynasty also include the following, to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road and the interests and security of the Han caravans, and to give the most preferential tax treatment to the Han caravans."

"In the arms trade between our two countries, the Han accepts gold and silver as well as any resources that the Han needs, such as high-quality war horses, minerals, slaves, and so on."

"In the future, perhaps the Han Dynasty will also expand its sphere of influence and influence in Central and West Asia, and we hope that as long as there is no conflict with the interests of the Anxi Empire, we can get the support and permission of the Anxi Empire."

When Vologis VI heard these points behind him, he was also a big head, it seems that the Han Empire is really not good, not only to trade, but also to get a piece of the pie in Central Asia and West Asia.

The deputy prime minister saw the embarrassment of His Majesty the Emperor, and he fell into the ear of Vologis VI.

"Your Majesty, these are things that can only happen in the distant future, but getting the assistance of the Han and advanced firearms are in front of you, what do you think?"

Vologis VI was still a smart man, and he naturally understood what the deputy said, and after a while, he made a choice.

"Okay, Mr. Special Envoy, you are a very good negotiator, I accept your conditions, and Rest will not prevent the Han from developing freely in Central and West Asia without harming the interests of Rest."

"The merchants of the Han Dynasty will be protected by us and given preferential treatment by policies, and the Silk Road has brought us a lot of wealth, so we will naturally take care of it."

"I also hope that Dahan can provide us with finished arms as soon as possible, of course, we also need Dahan to help us build a military factory, after all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and they are all shipped from the east, which is too inconvenient, and it is better for us to produce them ourselves."

"I heard that not only muskets, but also grenades and artillery of the Han Dynasty, are also infinitely powerful, I hope that the Han Empire can also provide it to us, and we need to exchange it, just ask, you can find our prime minister and deputy minister for these things."

In the end, the two sides reached a consensus very smoothly, and Fazheng and the prime minister of the Anxi Empire signed a formal alliance treaty on behalf of the two countries, and Fazheng basically got all the benefits that could be obtained, and it was a very successful mission.

Fa Zheng immediately gave the Rest Empire a thousand flintlock pistols and 50,000 rounds of ammunition, all of which were carried on the back of a camel, and he brought them with him when he set out from the Western Regions.

Fa Zheng successfully completed the mission of the Rest Empire, with a large number of gifts from Vologis VI and the special products of the Rest Empire, and returned to Chang'an in a mighty way, with hundreds of camels and pack horses in the mission.

Of course, this journey was very long, and Fa Zheng only returned to Chang'an City in September 2099.

This time, it was Lu Bu who greeted him as the emperor of the Han Empire, and Fa Zheng first presented the covenant signed by the two great empires, which was exactly what Lu Bu wanted.
