Chapter 397
Most of the reparations paid by these small countries were paid to the remaining small countries, accounting for more than half of the total.
This is understandable, after all, the financial resources of the nine small countries are very limited, and none of them are rich in the Jin Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that these reparations were not pooled together and divided among the individual countries, but among the smaller victorious countries around them.
In terms of amount, the major victorious countries have received certain benefits, for example, the Wu country received an indemnity of 10 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than two years of tax balance in its country, and the original payment was only less than 2 million taels.
has always been Yanguo, because he supported 500,000 stone military rations in Cangguo in the later stage of the war, and also received an indemnity of five million taels, and the profit was not more than ten times!
After the discussion of the issue of reparations for the small country, it was time to reach the main Jin state.
The wealth of the Jin Kingdom was famous throughout the Dali Dynasty.
Since ancient times, the vast area occupied by the Jin State, the water system is developed, it is a place rich in grain, rich in minerals, since the Jin State annexed the countries, it has monopolized the richest place in the world, and the national strength is strong, enough to support the continuous war.
Therefore, when it came time to pay compensation, Jin Guo suddenly became a well-deserved big family, and after several discussions, a total of more than 80 million taels had to be paid.
It doesn't sound like a big number, but if you exclude those lost territories, then the burden on the Jin Kingdom after it was carved up would be very large.
Not to mention the rest of the countries, let's just talk about Cangguo, which received a huge amount of reparations, a total of five years to pay off the reparations, a total of more than 20 million taels.
The amount of this indemnity is determined according to the two factors of the number of troops and casualties, although the number of troops sent by Cangguo has reached nearly one million, the overall casualties are not very high, so the amount of more than 20 million taels is normal.
Due to time constraints, the follow-up plan has only been put on hold until tomorrow.
After the end of the show, the emperors returned to the palace one after another.
Only the Empress Ruan and the Emperor Shao stayed slowly.
Sure enough!
Yang Mu secretly snickered, as he expected, the former was a marrow eater, and under the power of the invincible hairpin, it was difficult to give up on him, and driven by physiological instinct, he unconsciously stayed.
The latter, on the other hand, is a national interest.
Obviously, the current Cangguo is the only hope of Shao Guo, and Emperor Shao Guo is holding on to the life-saving straw of Cangguo, and it is understandable that he is impatient at this time.
"You haven't gone back yet?"
Yang Mu looked at the Empress Ruan Guo and seemed to be smiling.
"Can you handle it?"
Empress Ruan Guo looked cold, didn't give him a good look, turned around and whispered to a few maids beside her.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
Listening to her words, the maid at the head was very hesitant, quite embarrassed, and then glanced at Yang Mu vigilantly, although she didn't say a word, but the meaning of vigilance in it was self-evident.
Do you treat me like a thief?
Yang Mu was secretly unhappy in his heart, he knew that these people were the personal maids of the Empress Ruan, they must be the henchmen of the henchmen, and they must know a thing or two about what happened last night, maybe the queen and Miao Xi subdued them when they were kidnapping people yesterday, and it was reasonable to show some hostility at this time.
It's just that when did a few maids dare to show the emperor's face?
Immediately, Yang Mu's face fell, became very ugly, snorted heavily, and made a color to Shen An.
Immediately, Shen An rushed out from Yang Mu's side, shook the dust, and directly attacked several maids.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the maid headed by her flew out directly, retreated more than ten feet, and leaned directly on a desk, quite embarrassed.
Yang Mu's brows furrowed.
Anyway, he is not the martial arts novice who didn't know anything before, and it can be seen at a glance that this maid's martial arts are actually not weaker than Shen An's, and there is enough time to prepare before the move, and it can be seen that during the whole process, the maid has no intention of resisting at all.
Obviously, she was holding up.
Of course, the maid of Ruan Guo, who had suffered this blow, was not too seriously injured, but only coughed a few times before standing up again.
Yang Mu understands that this is the basic quality of being a maid, and without the emperor's instructions, you can't rashly do anything meaningful because of any personal factors.
Because, in the eyes of outsiders, the close person around the emperor represents the attitude of the emperor himself, and once a misunderstanding is caused, it is irreparable consequences.
"It's really boring, it's impossible for me to find a chance to punish a few maids, it's too boring."
Boring, this is the most direct thought in Yang Mu's heart.
As an emperor, it would be too boring to deliberately embarrass a few maids, in fact, he also has some meaning of knocking on the side, wanting to explore the reality of the Empress Ruan.
"Your Majesty, why be angry over a little thing, I stayed here to discuss a few major matters in the alliance, but I don't have time to waste it here."
Yo!
Quite proud!
How could Yang Mu not know the true thoughts of the Empress Ruan, he understood very well this kind of superficial arrogance, which was just a strong cover in front of outsiders.
Perhaps, she was not like this before, but after being an emperor for a long time, she will be more or less contaminated with the breath of this superior.
Those who are superior should be arrogant.
Yang Mu is also a superior.
So, he also has his own pride.
So, he simply ignored it, turned his head directly, and said to Emperor Shao: "Please also ask Your Majesty to move and participate in major events together." ”
This sentence caused Emperor Shao to be overjoyed.
That's exactly what he's looking forward to.
The so-called big thing, apart from supporting Shao Guo, what else can there be?
"Your Majesty Emperor Cang doesn't have to be polite, you and I belong to the same monarch, and Cangguo has made great contributions to the world, and he is the person I admire."
"Hahaha......"
Yang Mu laughed, and his heart was not broken.
The identity of Shao is a defeated country, and the biggest factor that caused Shao to become a defeated country is the counterattack of the Cangguo army.
Emperor Shao's words may be insincere.
Sure enough, everything is strength speaks!
Today's alliance negotiations, Yang Mu's deepest feeling should be the word strength, the first time the alliance, many countries actually don't take Cangguo seriously, but in the second alliance, any word he says has the effect of being a word.
For example, the strategy of dividing the territory and the amount of compensation to be paid by the defeated country, since the beginning of the negotiations, no one dared to directly refute every word he said, at most it was discussed in a roundabout way, and at the final moment of decision, he had to agree before he could finally make a decision.
"The group of enemies is fed, how similar to the situation of Cangguo at the beginning, I can understand the situation of Shao Guo very well." Yang Mu paused and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, I believe that Shao Guo will definitely be able to break through the current predicament and become one of the powerhouses!" ”
Emperor Shao's heart was boiling, and this sentence came out of the mouth of Emperor Cangguo, one of the powerhouses, which was different from what the courtiers said.
However, immediately his expression darkened: "His Majesty Emperor Cang is exalted, the size of the Shao country, the weak state and the small country, how can He De become one of the strong countries, and now he can keep the national temple, thank God." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, why bother the world and the world?" Yang Mu made a joke and waved his hand: "With the help of my Cangguo, Shao Guo can't be destroyed!" ”
Suddenly, the entire hall was eerily silent for a few seconds.
Then, Emperor Shao suddenly blushed, took a step back, and arched his hand deeply: "If this is the case, His Majesty Emperor Cang is very gracious, and the whole country of Shao is unforgettable. ”
Yo!
It's pretty good!
Yang Mu nodded secretly in his heart, he didn't want much, it was this attitude of Emperor Shao!
Vertical and horizontal road, a few more chess pieces, the road of Cangguo will be much easier in the future.
At this time, I saw Emperor Shao take a few steps back, took out a dagger from his arms, and pointed to the sky with his left hand: "Today, my Shao State swears here, I am willing to make an alliance with Cangguo forever, advance and retreat together, violate this oath, there is so a point!" ”
A cold light flashed, and a finger fell to the ground, blood bursting everywhere.
"His Majesty Emperor Shao...... Why ...... that?"
Yang Mu sighed, the moment he stepped back from Emperor Shao and took out the dagger, he knew something, but he didn't expect that Emperor Shao was really open-minded.
It seems that Cangguo has indeed become the last straw for Shao Guo.
Immediately afterwards, he called someone to come over and help the Emperor Shao to bandage it, with this oath, the alliance between Cangguo and Shao Guo is an ironclad matter, and it is not too late to discuss the remaining details.
The whole process was seen by the Empress Ruan, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she felt some doubts in an instant.
"Okay, the empress should be tired after watching it for so long, so let's go find a place to sit and discuss the details." Yang Mu is serious.
Empress Ruan didn't refute, but didn't say a word, and took the lead in the direction of the harem.
The rest of the maids, not knowing what order they had received, stayed outside the harem and did not go in again.
The emperors of all countries were tempted, and Yang Mu took advantage of the situation.
"I have decided that as long as it is a country that has diplomatic relations with my Dacang, without harming the interests of my Dacang and not threatening the safety of my Dacang, I am willing to share all kinds of weapons with it, that is to say, as long as it is a country recognized by my Cangguo, you can obtain many items including weapons from my Dacang."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of some emperors lit up.
If strategic materials such as weapons and cement can be sold as ordinary goods, then any country will have a chance to get them.
In other words, it gives a chance to some militarily weak countries.
As long as you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy weapons and strategic materials from Cangguo, then why can't you be strong?
However, from another point of view, this is another difficult thing to ride.
If an enemy country buys weapons, can you not buy them yourself?
If the enemy country is friendly with the Cangguo, can you make enemies with it?
Obviously, the answer is no.
As a result, it will be like a competition, competing and chasing each other, once the army has become dependent on the weapons of the Cangguo, in order to maintain the combat ability of the army, it can only buy a steady stream of weapons of the Cangguo.
Among these countries, it should be Nguyen Quoc who suffers the most.
As we all know, the relationship between Nguyen and Cang has always been very close before this, including the most advanced weapons in Cangguo, such as the scimitar used by all the cavalry and the Pu knife used by the infantry, etc., which Cangguo sold very generously to Ruan.
In addition to Ruan, only Chu and Wei bought a batch a few years ago because of strategic needs.
The rest of the supplies, such as white paper and compressed biscuits, or books and umbrellas, were closely exchanged by private caravans, and both countries benefited from them.
In a sense, Nguyen Quoc is taking advantage of the situation.
Borrow the advanced technology of Cangguo to strengthen the strength of the country.
Yang Mu knows this very well.
Because, in the nineteenth century on the earth, Japan, which sought to expand abroad, did the same, in its military industry, in fact, it was very weak at the top of the edge, but it was through the continuous purchase of equipment from other countries, such as warships, artillery and aircraft, etc., that it rapidly expanded its own country, and then became the first military power in Asia. The mood of the Emperor of Wu was like a candle in the dark.
He understood that there was darkness all around.
But I don't know where ahead, there will definitely be hope!
Where is the hope?
After the alliance was over, he led his men out of the city overnight and hurried back to the country.
Because the weather is sunny today, so the roads are also smooth, there are cement roads and tracks in the country of Cangguo, and there are trade roads extending in all directions after leaving the country, just ten days, he returned to the country of Wu.
As soon as he returned to China, he urgently convened a grand court meeting.
After discussing the alliance, Wu's refuge strategy.
For a time, the people in the country were panicked, and the aristocratic forces fled one after another.
The Emperor of Wu did not regret it, after all, the news would reach Wu sooner or later, so it was better to calm down the negative impact as soon as possible.
So, at the suggestion of several imperial ministers, Emperor Wu ordered to kill thousands of nobles one after another by iron-blooded means, and finally temporarily stopped this exodus.
After that, it was an exciting strategy, scattering the wealth of the palace treasury and rewarding the border soldiers.
At the same time, the goal is unanimous to wage war against the state of Shao!
At this time, the emperors of all countries were still discussing the details of the alliance, and the emperors of the surrounding countries were not in the country, which gave Wu a great opportunity to take advantage of.
As soon as the strategy was decided, an urgent and orderly operation immediately began.
The army is gathering, and the first thing is to be a general.
At present, in addition to Wu Ben, the general of Wu State, and Chu State, many other generals also have a mission, and the original neat group of generals suddenly looks thin.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Emperor Wu accepted the suggestion of his subordinates, and gave several generals who had been degraded not guilty and reactivated.
The Chinese army Sima, the shogunate general, the commander, the vanguard, etc., the matter of appointing the generals was finally over.
The second major event is to work with the State Governor's Office and other relevant government offices to determine the transfer of troops one by one.
Since the beginning of the Great War of Annihilation, the total strength of the Wu army's external movement has always remained within a range, that is, all the large armies of that year have always fought outside the Guan.
After fighting for more than a year, there was no shortage of troops, so he did not recruit people into the army.
At present, the casualties and previous casualties have been sharply reduced by more than 300,000 soldiers of the new army, and after subtracting those who stayed in the frontier, the total number of the main army is only more than 200,000, which is still far from the estimated 500,000 troops.
Therefore, to mobilize 500,000 troops to destroy Shao, in fact, it is necessary to use these more than 200,000 new troops as the main force and gather the strength of the entire Wu State.
The large-scale deployment of troops involved all parties, and the emperor had to personally plan and decide at any time.
The prime minister, etc., each from each of the four sides of a capable official to form a gathering of troops, in accordance with the four sides of the strategy agreed on the implementation of the transfer of troops, mainly to stop the defenders, all transferred by the deputy general led by the three percent of the soldiers, a total of about 20,000, the other garrison is the Gongwei imperial capital, the same transfer of eighty percent, the final total of the total, worthy of 500,000 troops.
After that, once the border pass was broken through by foreign troops, Wu had no power to resist.
However, he could only do so.
Take a risky battle.
The Emperor Wu clearly set a time limit for all the issuing officials, and no matter the difficulties and obstacles, the troops and horses transferred must be driven to the designated camp within ten days to complete the reorganization of the generals and generals.
The third major event is to prepare and determine the strategy of building and repairing weapons and carrying grain and grass.
The weapons and equipment of the Wu army have experienced many major battles and have long been ruined, so it is necessary to make up a set of usable weapons at this time.
The dredging of the foundation has been completed for ten days.
At this time, the emperors had just returned home.
For example, Emperor Shao is still in the Cangguo Palace.
The shogunate took to the road.
"Generals, the merit of destroying Shao is in this battle!"
A few days later, the shogunate arrived at the Nanyang camp,
