XXXVIII. Treaties
……
"I see......"
After listening to Oda Sachiko's narration, Liu Ce nodded silently, after all, with the urine nature of the feudal dynasty, as long as there is a royal background to rely on, then everything can be legalized, even if the heir is a heinous devil, it can be whitewashed in an instant.
You must know that Yingzhou's royal bloodline is not as important as that of Da Zhou, and after dozens of generations of changes, it has long been impossible to distinguish who is whose bloodline.
And what is even more worth complaining about is that as long as a woman is the monarch of Yingzhou, once she gets married and gives birth to a child, that man can replace him as the new king of Yingzhou within three years. Therefore, in the history of Yingzhou, there have been strange incidents of brothers and sisters getting married (half-siblings are not considered unethical, but half-siblings are not), and there are more than one time, which is really in line with the fine traditions of the island country.
But what made Liu Ce feel depressed was that from the conversation with Oda Sachiko, he learned that the status of high-level women in Yingzhou did not seem to be low, at least much higher than the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty, otherwise there would be no instance of a woman becoming the king.
Not to mention the rest, just this Oda Sachiko in front of him, he is only fifteen years old and is the lord of a country, although he is a down-and-out monarch, but in terms of status and status, he is much more noble than the daughter of those princes and nobles in this dynasty and even the princess county, at least people can talk to you in a diplomatic posture, not so much evasion.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Ce asked Oda Sachiko, "Miss Sachiko, the military governor wants to discuss with you, if the military governor helps you regain the throne, how should you pay the military governor?" ”
When Oda Sachiko heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, and bowed to Liu Ce and said, "If the military governor can help Sachiko regain power in Yingzhou, Sachiko hereby vows to marry the Great Zhou forever." ”
Liu Ce sneered and shook his head, disdainful of Oda Sachiko's words: "Miss Sachiko, let me tell you the truth, the situation in my Great Zhou is also chaotic now, and there are battles everywhere, and they can't spare the time and energy to go to Yingzhou to help you regain the throne." ”
"So, what then?" Oda Sachiko was a little overwhelmed when she heard this.
When Liu Ce heard this, he began to dismiss everyone in the captain's mansion and said: "It's not too early, you all go back to rest first, Qin Changshi and Zhou Feng will stay ......."
After everyone got up and retreated, Liu Ce, Qin Mo, Zhou Feng and Oda Sachiko were left in the school captain's mansion.
"Miss Sachiko......" Liu Ce put his hand on the main case and said to her, "Although the Great Zhou royal family is currently in many difficulties and is unable to help you, this military governor can, but it needs to have conditions that can satisfy this military governor, after all, sending troops is such a big thing, this military governor has to take a big risk......"
Oda Sachiko thought about it and felt that it made sense, after all, this is like a deal, people can't send troops to help them restore the country for no reason, there is a price to pay, this truth, as the head of a country, of course she understands.
"Then Lord Commander, if you have any conditions, as long as Sachiko has the ability, she will definitely agree." Oda Sachiko said respectfully to Liu Ce.
Liu Ce asked: "If the military governor sends troops to Yingzhou, dare to ask Miss Sachiko if she can solve the problem of military salary?" ”
Oda Sachiko shook his head: "Lord Governor, Sachiko is penniless now, if you sweep the floor out of the house today, she will freeze to death outside the city, I'm afraid I can't help it, but if I can regain the throne, I can make up for it all afterwards." ”
Liu Ce asked again: "Then, Miss Sachiko, if the military governor regains the throne for you, what reward can you pay, don't say anything nonsense like making friends for eternity, you should be clear that only interests are emphasized between countries, not friendship.
If that ghost thing can really believe it, there will be no war in this world, please think carefully before answering the military governor......"
Oda Sachiko thought for a while, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Lord Governor, Sachiko really has nothing now, and she can't give any guarantee to Lord Governor, please forgive me, you might as well put forward some conditions in person, Lord Governor, and Sachiko will be qualified to agree to the country in the future." ”
Liu Ce showed a wicked smile on his face: "Well, this military governor has such a few conditions, as long as you can agree, this military governor will definitely send troops to help you regain the throne in the future!" ”
Sachiko Oda nodded: "Lord Governor, please speak." ”
Liu Ce said: "First, the expenses of our army to Yingzhou must be provided by your country, in view of the current chaotic situation in your country, everything will be calculated after the war.
Article 2: After the restoration of the country, all treaty ports in Yingzhou must be unconditionally open to the caravans of our military governor's office.
Article 3: After the restoration of the throne of your country, you shall give the military governor's office an honorarium of 130 million taels of silver, which may of course be paid in installments or in lieu of the honorarium with the labor and minerals of your country.
Fourth, your country must unconditionally assist the Military Governor's Office in destroying the Yingnu Haikou in all coastal areas of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and ensure that they will not harm any passing caravans of this dynasty, especially those with the banner of the Military Governor's Office,
Fifth, due to the chaos of public order after the war, in order not to affect the people in all parts of our Great Zhou, our military governor's office must garrison troops in Yingzhou to maintain law and order until it is determined that the situation in your country is stable.
At present, as long as Miss Sachiko can agree to come down, within five years, the military governor will send troops to help you regain the power of Yingzhou, and within these five years, the military governor can provide you with enough safe shelter.
Miss Sachiko, think about it, and if you agree, sign this contract first, and I will give you the treatment you deserve as the monarch of a country, and if not, then give up, and the military governor will take you and your companions to the mines as slaves......"
After speaking, Zhou Feng took out a printed document that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Qin Mo, who handed it to Oda Sachiko.
Oda Sachiko glanced at the contents of the print, thinking back to the threatening words that Liu Ce said before, and said in her heart that there was still a choice at the moment, and she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Seeing Oda Sachiko nodding, Liu Ce took out his military governor's seal, got up and walked to Sachiko's side, and after stamping the seal, he signed his name again.
After Sachiko Oda also signed his name, this document was handed back to Zhou Feng for safekeeping.
After doing all this, Liu Ce said to her with a smile: "Miss Sachiko, I have to remind you now, this is a secret contract, for the safety of your life, don't announce it to the public for the time being until you regain the throne, you should know the stakes, right?" ”
Oda Sachiko got up and bowed deeply to Liu Ce, and said, "Hey, Sachiko will definitely keep her mouth shut, and cause trouble to you, Lord Governor......"
"Well......" Liu Ce nodded, "Since the contract has been made, this military governor will also protect you from the letter, and you will stay in the mansion on the edge of the school captain's mansion from today. ”
Sachiko Oda said movingly, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for the trouble, Sachiko is really grateful...... After speaking, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
Liu Ce turned around and walked to the main case and said to Zhou Feng: "Zhou Wenwen, you immediately take Miss Sachiko and her entourage to rest first, remember to clean the room carefully, and by the way, order the security department to send more people to take care of it." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
After Zhou Feng bowed his hand to Liu Ce, he led Oda Sachiko to the residence where he lived, and soon only Liu Ce and Qin Mo were left in the school captain's mansion.
"Mr. Qin, there are no outsiders here now, if you have anything to say, it's okay......
