Chapter 354: The Threat of Defeat
Chapter 354: The Threat of Defeat
"You are blackmail! It is naked 1uo naked blackmail!! Huang Qiushi, who had always endured humiliation and was bent on reaching a peace agreement with the Rus' country, was so angry that his face turned red and he slapped the table and shouted. Fun mini-games .
At the beginning of the negotiations, the Rus' people were messing around, claiming that they would not ask for material compensation, Huang Qiushi knew that it was just talk, and the competition between countries was for interests, and the most important thing was for benefits, and it was impossible for the Rus people to give up their low-hanging fruit in order to insult the Dragon and Tiger Army.
Today, the diplomatic corps of the Rus' Empire has finally revealed its true colors, and the conditions they put forward made Huang Qiushi, a dove among the doves, feel unbearable!
First of all, in view of the inability of Ji Zhou to ensure the personal safety of friendly people, from the date of the signing of the agreement, the maximum number of retinues of the diplomatic corps, or delegation, Yan or caravan of the Rus State will be increased from 100 to 700 when the Ji Zhou Kingdom passes.
On the surface, this condition is nothing, but those in the know know that this condition is absolutely not allowed! Ji Zhou and Rus have always been in a state of hostility, but Ji Zhou needs the products of Rus, and Rus is the same, so the caravans of the two countries can still pass through the hostile country. Under normal circumstances, the governments and armies of the two countries will not deliberately make things difficult for the caravan, because if you raid each other's caravan here, the other side will immediately retaliate on their own territory, which is a lose-lose thing.
Many years ago, Ji Zhou and Rus signed an agreement stipulating that the maximum number of retinues of the caravan was 100, which could ensure the safety of the caravan to a certain extent and prevent the enemy from infiltrating his rear with ulterior motives. If you really increase the cap to seven hundred. The border line and defense area have become decorations, and the Rus people can send thousands or even tens of thousands of troops to pass through the territory of Ji Zhou at any time with an upright reason, who knows whether those are the retinue of the caravan or the soldiers?
This condition cannot be talked about at all! What's more, it's still a unilateral increase in the ceiling?! Even if the two countries cut off trade exchanges, they would not be able to sign such an agreement!
The second condition of the Rus' was that the Rus' felt very insecure in view of the hostile attitude of the Dragon and Tiger Legion. In order to normalize relations between the two countries as soon as possible, the diplomatic corps of the Russ State demanded that Ji Zhouguo cede Chiluling. He also asked the Dragon and Tiger Legion to retreat a hundred miles back and camp to free up a buffer zone. Huang Qiushi felt that this condition was not too excessive, but unfortunately before he came, Qian Buli had clearly told him that compensation was okay, but not an inch of land could be ceded!
For the second condition of the Rus, Huang Qiushi is helpless, if he signs his name on this condition. Then he will live to the end! The general must not let him go.
The only thing Huang Qiushi dared to make a decision was the third condition of the Rus, Ji Zhouguo prepared 50,000 gold coins as compensation within a month, but unfortunately, the Rus did not attach importance to the third condition, but strongly asked Huang Qiushi to agree to their first and second conditions, in the eyes of the Rus, the third condition is only a subsidiary condition.
"Dear Lord Huang, please pay attention. Your attitude will determine whether the negotiations between us are necessary or not. The Marquis of Motmar said with a grim face: "This is our minimum condition, and I hope you will also show some sincerity." ”
"Sincerity? You put forward such conditions and let me show sincerity? Huang Qiushi shouted: "If I sign this agreement, I will become the eternal sinner of Ji Zhouguo!" There is no way for me to return to the imperial city alive, I will be torn to pieces by the people on the way, how can you let me show sincerity? ”
"If Lord Huang finds it very difficult to sign the agreement, or you are not qualified to decide on this important matter. Then, please send a new representative who is qualified to sign the agreement. The Marquis of Hippolyte said lightly.
"I am the plenipotentiary in this negotiation, and I need not prove my qualifications to anyone, but you, honorable Marquis of Hippolyte, on what basis do you question my qualifications?" Huang Qiushi was angry, and his position was extremely tough: "Let me tell you frankly, respected Marquis of Hippolyte, I dare not sign this agreement, and no one in the entire Ji Zhou Kingdom dares to sign such an agreement!" ”
"Dear Lord Huang. What do you mean to say . . . There is no longer any need for negotiations? Right? The Marquis of Hippolyte smiled and turned to Duke Vasily: "Honorable Duke. It seems that you will not be able to return to the capital anytime soon, and I think Marshal Peter would very much like you to stay and assist in the command of the war. ”
"War is just a continuation of politics. If the problem can be resolved through negotiation, war should be avoided as much as possible. Duke Vasily said slowly: "Dear Lord Huang, I don't want to hide anything, the generals of our young Zhuang faction strongly demand that justice be sought for our delegation who died in a foreign land by means of war, but our prime minister, Lord Savi, thinks that the dispute should be resolved through peaceful negotiations, so as not to suffer the pain of displacement between the people of the two countries, so this negotiation is possible!" Dear Lord Dihuang, if you really decide to reject our sincerity, then the situation will definitely go out of control! I tell you sincerely, you think that if you sign an agreement, you will become a sinner for the ages of Ji Zhouguo, but if you reject our sincerity, leading to a war that can be completely avoided, you. . . will also become the eternal sinner of Ji Zhouguo! ”
"Dear Lord Huang, you should know that our country has formally signed a peace agreement with the Golden Horde, and a large number of our troops deployed on the northern front are leaving the defensive areas in batches. Do you really want to save them from idleness? The Marquis of Hippolyte added.
Huang Qiushi's face suddenly turned pale, the threat of war from the Rus' people is hitting Huang Qiushi's vital point, the main task of his delegation is to avoid war, if it really breaks up unhappily and the two countries meet each other, he will commit the crime of dereliction of duty! Duke Vasily of the Rus Kingdom is right, if he signed he is an eternal sinner of Ji Zhouguo, and if he refuses to sign, he may also become an eternal sinner of Ji Zhouguo.
"I. . . . I'll go make it easier. Huang Qiushi muttered, in this dilemma, Huang Qiushi suddenly remembered the bag that Qian Buli handed him before leaving, isn't it time to open the bag?
"Please. The Marquis of Hippolyte smiled gracefully.
After a short time, Huang Qiushi walked in from outside again, his face was a little better than just now, but his lips and fingers were trembling slightly, because he felt very nervous.
Qian Buli predicted in his bag that the Rus would definitely use war to threaten Huang Qiushi, but after detailed analysis, the army deployed by the Rus in Yunzhou is not enough to break through the defense line of the Dragon and Tiger Legion in a short period of time, in order to occupy the greatest advantage, even if the Rus are preparing to start a war with Ji Zhou, they also need to transfer a large number of troops from the northern front, and they also need to hoard a large number of war materials, and this series of actions will take six months to see results. Qian Buli warned Huang Qiushi, don't worry about the threat of the Rus, the Rus people don't have the strength to do it within six months, don't be afraid, and after six months, you don't have to be afraid. As for why he didn't have to be afraid after six months, Qian Buli didn't elaborate, but just told Huang Qiushi that when the Rus' people threatened him with war, he could use the same method to threaten the Rus'.
It's a pity that Huang Qiushi was too nervous, and when he opened the money bag, there was not a single eye quietly staring at him.
"Respect Lord Huang, are you ready to sign?" The Marquis of Hippolyte said with a smile.
"I must not sign this agreement!" Huang Qiushi stiffened his face and replied stiffly, and then he pushed the agreement back on the table.
Duke Vasily glanced at each other in surprise, Marquis Hippolyt's face sank, and he slowly pushed the agreement back to Huang Qiushi: "Lord Huang, are you teasing us?" ”
"On the contrary, you are teasing me!" Huang Qiushi replied-for-tat.
"I feel that our esteemed Lord Huang is ready to bear all the consequences, isn't it?" The Marquis of Hippolyte said in a strange way.
"The consequences? What are the consequences?? Huang Qiushi slapped the table suddenly, he was too nervous, his actions did not have much deterrent effect, but with a nervousness: "I'm here to negotiate, not to listen to your threats!" ”
Not only was the diplomatic corps of the Russ Kingdom surprised by Huang Qiushi's sudden change, but the members of the diplomatic corps of Ji Zhouguo were also dumbfounded, stupidly watching Huang Qiushi play tricks at the negotiation table, just a moment ago, Huang Qiushi was still like an angry little daughter-in-law, and in a blink of an eye, he became an old bachelor who was rampant in the market, which was really unacceptable.
"There's no need to talk about it anymore. Duke Vasily slowly stood up and looked at Huang Qiushi with contempt, these days of negotiations, the old Duke Vasily has seen through Huang Qiushi, who is timid and fearful, and his heart is not strong, although Huang Qiushi's tone is very tough at this moment, but his fluttering eyes and slightly trembling fingertips have made Duke Vasily see Huang Qiushi's inner world: "Lord Huang, go back and inform Your Majesty the Queen of your country, the dignity of my Rus Empire is destined to be washed away with your blood!" When Duke Vasily had finished speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing that Duke Vasily showed his attitude, the Marquis of Hippolyte and the Marquis of Motemar also walked out with him, and the Marquis of Motemar left a look of pity before leaving.
Huang Qiushi only felt his head explode with a buzz: "You. You guys.... "Didn't the general say that the Rus' people didn't dare to turn their faces at all? How.... The general misunderstood me! Huang Qiushi's eyes were light-headed, and he involuntarily planted them on the ground.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" The officials of the Ji Zhou Kingdom diplomatic corps hurriedly surrounded them, some pressed the people, some beat their chests, everyone was in a mess, if Huang Qiushi was still conscious at the moment, he might be shocked to realize that there was a very flexible hand in the chaos that grabbed the bag that Qian Buli gave him.
