2774 Negotiations
For Sero, this is an opportunity, after all, not every Tocharian is willing to follow the Qin people south to do such a business, they also have their own ideas, their own ambitions, the Qin people continue to make money and money, they also want to do the same.
Making a fortune is an ideal for everyone who is looking for a dream of making a fortune. An achievable ideal.
"I'll do it with you, man, but we have to plan it well, we can't mess around like this, or we'll lose our heads." Sero said.
"Of course." Farrow said.
It is true that, as Farrow said, the Yueshi people will not need such weapons, but the Indians do, this is the opportunity, the Indians definitely don't want such a thing to happen again, so they came up with another way, this method is to buy a large number of such weapons, the price can be higher, but there must be quite a lot of weapons, only in this way can the crazy actions of the Yueshi people be balanced. It's a need, a very obvious need.
On the border of Dawan Kingdom, the garrison of the Qin State Expeditionary Force, the ice and snow have melted, the logistics have returned to normal, and the expeditionary force is about to choose to return to Qin. Many of the Hun soldiers were already very disgusted with this place. If the order was given, they would be eager to reach the Qin State within a day.
"Who are those?" Tu Sui put down the binoculars in his hand and asked Tu Meng for a plate.
"It seems to be the Dawan people, they are envoys, as if they are going to negotiate." Tu Meng explained.
"Negotiations?" Tu Sui asked.
"Yes, sir, it's a negotiation, maybe the rest people have been harassing the Dawan people recently, causing a lot of casualties, and the Dawan side can't bear it anymore. They want to negotiate a way to resolve these things. Tu Meng guessed.
"Negotiations, is it possible? It's better to give us some ammunition to replenish, and give it to the resting people one after another, and they will know how good we are. Tu Sui said.
"But sir, this is what the above means, we are here in Dawan, and it is not good to interfere a lot, so we have to watch them do this. Maybe they can solve this problem themselves. Tu Meng said.
"Leave them alone. We still have to wait for the telegram from above, we will withdraw our troops as soon as possible, we can't wait here any longer. An expeditionary force, all abolished. Tu Sui said.
On the other side, the Minister of Defense of the Dawan people personally came to the border. This was the way the Sabbatarians negotiated with the Dawans, and the Sabbatarians believed that the Dawanites were not qualified to discuss these with them. So they negotiate only at the border.
"Ahead is our border, sir." A Captain Dawan officer said. Dawan only has a police force, no formal army, Dawan's security is all maintained by the Qin army, and the Minister of Defense wants to establish Dawan's own army, but the current situation does not allow it.
"Whew." The Minister of Defense exhaled, and on the other side, two Sabbators were already standing, one of whom was wielding a scimitar in his hand, which he seemed to admire very much. The Minister of Defense walked over, the Captain followed, and behind the two Sabbaters there was a troop of cavalry, who could kill at any time, and in fact they crossed the border of the Dawan people as if they were tourists. No one can stop them.
"You're finally here." Said the Sabbator on the other side, wielding a scimitar.
"Yes, we are here in the hope that the dispute between our two countries can be resolved." Dawan Defense Minister said.
"You say, this scimitar has slashed and killed many Dawan people, and the heads of Dawan people were cut off like this." The rest man on the opposite side waved his short knife and signaled, as if there was really a Dawan whose head was about to be cut off. Seeing such one, the captain pulled out his pistol. The other party also looked at him very nervously.
"Put down the gun, we're here to negotiate." The Minister of Defense said patiently.
"Huh." Said the Sabbath on the other side.
"You can call me a general." The Sabbath man on the other side said with pride.
"Well, General, I know the situation of our Dawan people, but your situation is not much better, our town has become a fortress, we have armed our own people, they have become a militia, they have a musket that can fire a lot of power, the recent battle report, I am sure that Your Excellency the General has read it. You've lost some of your men, and I'm sorry to tell you that their bodies are with us, and they've been shot through corpses, and they're covered in blood, and they look very cruel. Maybe you'll cut off the heads of our Dawans. The Minister of Defense said calmly. There was a smile underneath his composure. It was a calm smile, and it seemed that he was very confident that the town's fortress defense had given the Dawan people the qualifications to negotiate, otherwise he would not have come here to negotiate like this.
"However, your head may be made into a big hole by our musket, and the hole in your head will be opened, and the blood will keep coming out, which will be very unsightly." The Minister of Defense said with a smile.
"Huh. All right. Dawan, I see. We can afford to lose, let's talk about it, what is the cost of stopping? We only signed an armistice agreement with the Qin people, but we did not sign an armistice agreement with you, you know, you Dawan people are not qualified to do so. The man on the other side called the general said.
"General, I believe that we Dawan people already have such funds, we have obtained a large number of muskets from the Qin people, and we can get more artillery if needed. There may be more than your soldiers, of course we can not attack, but we can build more defensive forts, each town is a small defensive game, your cavalry rushes in, only the target, you will be difficult to defeat us. We have defense, and you, are being shot. Said the Minister of Defense.
"We also have muskets." The general on the other side said.
"Yes, I know that you have received a large number of muskets from the Tocharians, but I think you have done something wrong in this matter. Muskets have no advantage over muskets, but in the West, there are countries that are easier to attack, they use broadswords, spears, javelins, their chests are the best targets, a bullet can shoot many people, it is easy to solve the battle, I think so, your concentrated muskets may have been concentrated there. Said the Minister of Defense.
Hearing this, the general was a little surprised, but he didn't show it, but looked at the other party, as if to say, how did the other party know this.
"If you need to attack the country in the west, there is no need to attack our Dawan people, our Dawan people can provide you with what you need, the price of the muskets given to you by the Tocharians may be higher, the mountain roads there are very difficult to walk, but we are the same, but the Qin people give us the cost price. We can provide you with muskets at a relatively low cost, if necessary, artillery cannons, and ammunition can be supplied to you in unlimited quantities, which you can buy. We can offer you unlimited things. Said the Minister of Defense.
"It's a pity that we don't have any money, all the money goes to the Tocharians, who are greedy villains. They demanded gold endlessly. The general said angrily.
"It doesn't matter, we can buy it, as long as you can provide more prisoners of war, we need mines, the people of the Qin State need minerals, we need miners, but we don't have many people in Dawan. We need more miners. In this way, as long as you can provide us with more prisoners of war, we will not only give you muskets, but also pay for them. What do you think? It's a good deal, right? Said the Minister of Defense.
"Huh." The general on the other side laughed.
"Dawan people, we know that you have gold, we can launch an offensive battle, we can kill you and get the gold." The general said.
"Oh. Is it? If the general wants to give it a try, yes, we will build more defensive fortresses, with the help of the Qin people, we will build our own Dawan army, we will use cannons, muskets, teach you a hard lesson, you can wait and see. We're going to break your stomachs. Dig out your entrails. Lubricate our guns. Said the Minister of Defense.
"Well, sir, I see. If we do that, our offensive costs will be higher, right? "The general calmed down. His mission was to harass the Dawan, but the most important task was to get more muskets from the Tocharians, for which he paid a high price, and a large amount of gold coins flowed into the hands of the Tocharians, but he could not do anything to the Tocharians? Since the Sabbatarians themselves could not make muskets, their craftsmen had begun to imitate this lethal weapon, but it was not very effective. And most importantly, what kind of formula the magic gunpowder was, they themselves did not know how it was made. If he could get arms and weapons cheaply, he might be able to keep his position, because the Sabbatarians were already very dissatisfied with the large-scale purchase of arms and weapons, which drained the Coffers of the Sabbatarians. The Sabbatarians are already actively planning a frenzied offensive operation. They believed that muskets could make a big difference. They can easily defeat the country of Selius, where the women and the wealth of money are enough to make up for their losses, as for those men, since the Dawan people need it, it is better to give them to them, anyway, they will find a way to execute these people.
"Okay. We know how powerful you Dawan people are. The price is, we won't harass you, of course. Since everyone has interests, we are naturally willing to engage in such a business with you, after all, we will not have a great hatred with gold coins. The general said.
"Your Excellency, you have made a very wise decision, and with this decision, I believe that the Dawan Kingdom will provide more secure arms and weapons to the Sabbath Country, and I hope that your war in the west will be extremely smooth." said the Minister of Defense.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Minister. Thank you for your blessings, we will do this, and then we will sign a formal armistice, and the two countries will always be friends. The general said.
"Thank you very much." said the Minister of Defense.
Yan Kingdom, Prince's Mansion.
"The gold mines of the Goguryeo people gave us. But no one is mining gold, and that's a big problem, we can't mine a huge gold mine. The Minister of Finance said embarrassedly. The Yan people got the gold mine very smoothly, and they paid 100,000 gold coins to get a large piece of the gold mining area, which was worth far more than 100,000 gold coins, and it was speculated that at least 5 million gold coins could be excavated. But, the problem is, they don't have any.
"This mining is a big technical job, and many people are exhausted." Prince Dan also said anxiously. Yan Guo finally got a gold mine that could mine wealth without limits, but there was no one.
"Yes, prince, I heard that the Goguryeo people started a war against the south because there was no talent, so the war started, but now that the Qi people and Koreans are involved, I am afraid it will take a while for us to get enough manpower." said the Minister of Finance.
"This." Prince Dan was a little embarrassed. Without people, there would be no gold, and without gold, gold coins could not be minted, which was a great loss to the financial revenue of the Yan Kingdom.
"Do you have any options?" Prince Dan asked.
"Nope. Prince. The Minister of Finance was also embarrassed.
"This. The mountain people of the north, unlikely, they are too fierce. We can't afford to mess with it. Despite the fact that we have muskets, they are not easy to mess with. Prince Dan said.
"Southerners, Southerners." Prince Dan thought about it.
"That's right. We can talk to the Koreans to see if they have enough Menglans, and we can import Menglans as slaves from the south, and there are many of them. We can completely not count their losses in the slightest. That's it. That's it. Prince Dan thought about it and said.
"Just do it, go quickly. Just go. "Prince Dan decided to arrive.
"Yes. Prince. The Minister of Finance nodded. The lack of labor made the gold mine obtained by Yan Kingdom fall into a desperate situation of production, but Prince Dan thought of a solution, and the sea seemed to cut off everything. But it seems to be connected again, the sea has given great convenience, the Koreans have expanded smoothly on the Western continent, they can get more slaves, and the people of Chu also need slaves, but if these slaves are transported, they can get more labor, and the solution of these labors will largely solve the problem of their lack of labor. At the same time, the slave trade could also stimulate the development of Korean trade. At this time, Korea was actively engaged in the slave trade. They seem to think that the great significance of the Western continent lies here, and that the suitable climate where the population is large, is not that a sufficient driving force?
