Chapter 676: Policy Toward Xilu and Liyue (30)
Cui Zhengchun asked, "Fourth brother, what do you mean?" ”
The fourth elder smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that we don't need to take any weight. Because we don't have any, we just need to accept the bottom line of the Huahan Dynasty. Their bottom line must be the best for us. ”
This fourth child usually shows a smart energy, but he never shows off his cleverness. It stands to reason that the third child is also a smart person, but he is still slightly inferior to the fourth. But the third child has a characteristic, that is, he can see the big things clearly. He seems to have more wisdom. And the wisdom of the fourth child seems to be more delicate.
At this time, the words of the fourth child made Cui Zhengchun, the third child, and the fifth child look at each other.
Cui Zhengchun asked, "Fourth brother, isn't it too risky to do this?" ”
The fourth smiled and said, "Adventure? Brother Huang, don't say that we have no bargaining weight now, even if we have, what conditions can we propose? It is better to just give us no conditions, just listen to them mention to us, as long as we are satisfied, and they can't raise it any higher, this is considered the end of the negotiation. ”
Cui Zhengchun was stunned when he heard this.
The third brother said with a smile: "Brother Huang, I think the fourth brother's suggestion is very good." ”
Cui Zhengchun asked in surprise, "What." The third brother also thinks that the fourth brother's suggestion is feasible? ”
The third child nodded and said, "Brother Huang, I think it's feasible." Because we really don't have the weight to negotiate. Instead of us meditating and thinking about it, it is better to think about nothing and follow the Huahan Dynasty. I think, if we have a good attitude, they won't make things difficult for us, right? ”
Cui Zhengchun pondered for a long time, so he had to nod and say, "It seems that this is the only way to do it now." ”
The third brother said: "Then the royal brother should quickly reply to the prime minister of Huahan!" ”
Cui Zhengchun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll repair a letter to the prime minister of Huahan." ”
The third and fourth children nodded one after another, only Lao Wu was still stunned, not knowing what was going on.
Although the problem was solved, they couldn't be happier. One by one, sighing. At night, the entire palace was lifeless.
And this news soon spread to the people, and they were happy, they were willing to be the people of Huahan, and there were also some loyal supporters of the Dayue Cui clan, and they sighed like the entire Cui clan, but there was nothing they could do. The royal family has decided to compromise, what can the common people do?
And they are not averse to joining Huahan, but they are sorry that the Cui family is no longer the emperor of Liyue. Some burst into tears when they got the news.
Public opinion is in the past, and there is no need to worry about this. The next step is to negotiate.
Liu Yong sat on the dragon chair of the Tianchen Hall and accepted the worship of the civil and military officials.
Another early dynasty.
Facing up early, Chen An read out Li Yue's reply. Liu Yong was very happy to hear this, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, it seems that this Dayue Cui clan is very acquainted!" ”
Chen An said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Dayue Cui clan also knows that they are powerless to fight against us at all, and the public opinion is also there. For them, the only pity is that they can't be royalty anymore in the future. ”
Liu Yong said: "But I can ensure the livelihood of their people. ”
Chen An said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Yong asked, "Chen An, has the time been set?" ”
Chen An said: "It has been booked, and it will be on the second day of the next month." ”
Liu Yong thought for a while and said, "There is still nearly a month to go, okay, let's get ready." ”
Chen An arched his hand and said, "It's Your Majesty." ”
Immediately, Liu Yong sighed again and said leisurely: "Actually, there is no need to prepare, the final deal is the bottom line conditions we have set." ”
Chen An asked, "Your Majesty, how can you see it?" ”
Liu Yong smiled faintly and said, "Chen An, this Dayue Cui clan responded so happily, it means that they don't have the slightest confrontation towards us. I guess they weren't even prepared for the bargaining. It's not that they are unprepared, it's that they simply don't have the weight to move out. ”
Chen An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, then we can raise the conditions?" In exchange for this good result at the lowest price? ”
Liu Yong listened to Chen An's words, but shook his head. sighed and said: "Chen An, when you are a person and do things, sometimes you have to think more about each other, whether it is your friend or enemy. You can't go too far with your friends. On the contrary, the more excessively it is necessary to deal with the enemy, the better. ”
Chen An immediately arched his hand and said, "Weichen has written it down." ”
As soon as the prime minister said this, the other ministers immediately followed suit, bent down and bowed together, saying, "The ministers have written it down." ”
Liu Yong waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, I'm just talking casually." ”
Chen Liang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's words are warning to the world, and the ministers should naturally keep them in mind. ”
Liu Yonghe smiled and said, "Chen An, the current negotiation is a situation, but we still have to follow the established plan, first come up with the lowest plan, and descend step by step, until they nod and it's over." ”
Chen An nodded and said, "The minister knows." ”
"Okay, by the way, how is the armor of the military department?" Liu Yong asked again.
Wu Qing stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this harder armor has been made. It is made of a fraction of a thin sheet of steel. ”
Liu Yong's eyes lit up and said, "The steelmaking mill has just made refined steel, and you have made it into armor?" ”
Wu Qing nodded, arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
Liu Yong asked again: "Wu Qing, how is the protective strength of the armor?" ”
Wu Qing said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister asked the same door to test, the armor is very hard, even the bullets of the musket can't penetrate it, at most it can only leave a small hole." ”
Liu Yong was happy to hear the big event and asked, "Really?" ”
Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, it's true. ”
Liu Yong slapped his thigh and shouted.
Then there will be ministers below, congratulating His Majesty on the development of new sergeant equipment. Then came the congratulations of the Manchu civil and military.
Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: "In this way, the new style of the Tar slave's bow and crossbow will lose its power." Haha, yes! ”
After the ministers congratulated, Liu Yong said: "Wu Qing, you let the arsenal speed up production, and as soon as I am happy, I will order an attack on the Tarslaves." ”
Wu Qing seemed to be infected by Liu Yong's arrogance, and immediately said aloud: "It's Your Majesty, the minister will definitely supervise the arsenal." ”
Liu Yong said: "It can't help but be a musketeer army, as well as cavalry, and they must also be equipped with such armor." ”
Wu Qing frowned and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there is not so much steel, and now the ore needed for this steel is very expensive." ”
