Body 580 Negotiations
Li Hong's words were heartfelt, the face of the monarch of the Japanese Kingdom was pale, the military generals around him were silent, but the people in the distance were like bees, and as soon as Li Hong's words were behind, there was a buzzing discussion.
"You...... You...... You...... Nonsense! When my brother set up his nephew Prince Otomo, I asked my brother to resign and wanted to return to the mountains and forests, but my brother refused, he hoped that I could assist Prince Otomo to rule our country, but God was jealous of the talent, and he was on the throne less than a year ago, and he died of illness because of dealing with state affairs! I still remember it with a lot of heartache today, and you are talking nonsense ....... The people of the sea were full of sadness and sadness, and suddenly the people of the Wa Kingdom in the distance were temporarily quiet.
"Baga, you are dripping to death, you are dripping, your conscience is greatly broken!" Li Hong felt like he had a mustache on his upper lip, and scolded playfully.
"You ......." The sea man looked at Meng Chong's graceful figure rushing over, and even forgot to refute Li Hong's words, but looked at the familiar and beautiful face in shock.
"Erchen has seen his father." The princess looked at the surprised and shocked look of the sea people, and tears involuntarily flowed out of her eyes.
"You're not dead?" The sea man looked at the princess who came to him and saluted, and asked again in shock.
The princess looked at the sea people, just silently shook her head with tears, and then turned her head with difficulty, glanced at the wild and unruly man standing on the deck on the sea, and said sadly: "Father, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty...... ”
"What? Is this true? "The people of the sea were shocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty actually led his troops to go out in person? This...... How is this possible!
"You should have received a holy decree from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so you can send someone to the Tang Dynasty Sailor, right?" The princess said without answering.
"Yes, almost every day, except for the one for my father, there is another secret decree that we are not allowed to open." The sea man said in amazement.
"Before the war, their three warships all received the holy decree that you handed them at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them was given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the man standing on the bow of the ship." The princess of Dalai felt even more bitter in her heart.
She had seen those holy decrees on the ship, after all, she was in the same cabin with Li Hong every night, and the holy decrees of His Majesty the Tang Emperor were still in the cabin at will, and there were even a few holy decrees, he didn't even open them.
And the holy decree that was opened, the will on each path was the same, let him hurry back to Chang'an, but that person never took it seriously.
So now my father wants to ask the Tang Emperor to withdraw his troops, it is impossible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is sent by God to harm the Japanese country, no one can stop it, even if it is the sea god last night, isn't it also impossible to stop it?
"With the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, does he dare not obey? Do you dare not withdraw your troops? The people of the sea were even more surprised, although the earliest decree of the Tang Emperor before was to order the Tang Dynasty sailors to retreat.
But later the Tang Dynasty Navy Division did not retreat, he originally thought that his sincerity was not enough, and he did not promise benefits to the Tang Emperor, plus in the past two years, because of the refusal of the Wa State to send Tang envoys, the annual tribute of the Wa State has become less and less, so the Tang Emperor ordered the withdrawal of the water division, but it was just a formality.
"He didn't even read a lot of holy decrees, and he was still in the cabin so casually, without even a trace of respect." The princess of Dalai became even more bitter in her heart, and said bitterly.
I am afraid that he is the only one in this world who dares to take the holy decree of the Tang Dynasty inappropriately, and can casually and casually throw it aside and ignore it.
Don't forget, even my father, after receiving the holy decree from the Tang Dynasty, every holy decree was carefully and respectfully sealed and kept.
"He told me an allusion on the ship, saying that we had violated them more than a thousand years ago, and asked them to pay a lot of silver, even to the ...... such as land cuts." The Empress Dalai spoke in a bitter tone, and with difficulty repeated Li Hong's words on the battleship to the people of the sea.
"How can this be true? It just doesn't make sense! Nonsense, how is that possible? When did we invade them? When will they have to pay for it? The popularity of the sea almost folded into the sea, and pointed to the Tang prince on the deck in the distance and asked.
After turning around, looking at the bitter face of the princess of Dalai, the people of the sea were shocked, and instantly understood, this is something out of nothing, what is the crime that you want to add, is there no word?
"What do you say? He knows that I want to emulate Datang and build a companion capital? The hearts of the people of the sea were even more shocked by the words of the princess of Dalai!
This year, he just had, hoping to learn from Chang'an and Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty, and build another capital outside of Kyoto.
But how did he know about these plans, which he hadn't told anyone else about? Is he really God? Can you pinch it?
The princess looked at the expression of the sea man, and knew that what Li Hong said was not groundless, it seemed that it was true, and it was no wonder that people asked for 23 million taels of silver as soon as they opened their mouths.
The purpose of this is self-evident, that is, to make it impossible for his father to build a companion capital, and also to make it impossible for him to build a large-scale palace.
"You ask him, we don't need their sailors to protect us, and we don't need their sailors to be stationed in Namba, Hakata, and Kagoshima, we build our own sailors to protect ourselves." The sea people's faces became even more gloomy, and they originally wanted to implement their ideals and ambitions and make the Japanese country develop into a strong and prosperous plan like the Tang Dynasty, but it seems that they have been thoroughly explored by others, and they don't give themselves this opportunity.
The princess nodded, looked at Cui Zhifen, and then repeated the words of the sea people in Tang dialect.
Cui Zhibian shook his head with a smile, looked at the Dalai princess and said to the sea people: "Compensation for land ceasion, stationed sailors to help you protect your fishermen and your coastline, this is the principle and insistence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never allow anyone to threaten our friendly Wa Kingdom, just as Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo will not be allowed to fight each other." Therefore, in order to protect your safety, for the sake of the emperor, Your Royal Highness has always had firm confidence and belief, even if it is the power of my Tang Dynasty, I will go all out to protect your safety and ensure that your country is stable, please rest assured. ”
The princess looked at Cui Zhifen, who was talking eloquently, and glared at him angrily, she just said it for a long time, which meant that she didn't say anything, it was completely a polite conversation learned from that scoundrel, without any substance, only that uncompromising firmness.
Faced with the eyes of the sea people, the princess of Dalai had no choice but to translate Cui Zhifen's words to the sea people word for word.
The sea man's face was ugly, and the expression on his face kept changing with the translation of the princess of Dalai, until after listening, after a long while, he nodded silently.
In the mind of the Empress Diners, although this passage is equivalent to saying nothing, the people of the sea have heard some words that are useful to him, as long as you cede the land and pay reparations, and let our sailors be stationed here, your position as emperor will be as stable as Mount Tai.
If you don't agree, then it will be like what His Royal Highness the Tang Crown Prince just said, and Datang will not mind spending four or five years to set up a new monarch in the Wa Kingdom.
Compared with money, the people of the sea naturally value his position as emperor more, not to mention, if they set up another emperor, with their strong force, they can move all the wealth of the Japanese kingdom to the Tang Dynasty in addition to the other emperor.
Therefore, comparing the stakes between the two, which is more important, the sea people already have their own scales in their hearts.
As he said just now, a few people, Gou Jian, Han Xin, etc., didn't they also face the enemy's encirclement and interception, and finally tried their courage and endured for many years, and finally ushered in a brilliant victory?
Thinking of this, the sea people couldn't help but glance at Kazubu-kun, hoping that he could give him support in his decision at this time.
He Bait-kun's face was calm, and he looked at the sea man and said calmly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not all bad for the Datang Sailor to protect the fishermen and guard our safety for us, and as time goes by, if you want to come to their warships, we will also learn something." Let alone...... The general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and Datang cannot be strong forever, such a prince, I think there are many enemies in Datang, as long as we can win the opportunity to send Tang envoys to Datang to study, maybe we can start with strategy, take the opportunity to win over, buy other officials, and then depose the prince of Datang, and set up a new prince, when the time comes, maybe the new prince of Datang will see our great merits, and some of these warships will become our sea weapons. Everything is planned in man and achieved in heaven, and now we can only follow his path in order to be possible and have the opportunity to become strong, so ...... The minister agreed. ”
And the bait-kun said calmly, but in the end, he didn't say anything about the treaties such as land cession compensation.
The Dalai princess on the side listened thoughtfully, and in the face of the sea man's inquiry, she even forgot to answer the sea man's question.
When the person next to her reminded her loudly, she woke up from deep thought, only to hear the sea man say to her: "You tell him that we have agreed, but we cannot pay off all the 23 million taels of silver four times, give us ten years, and we will definitely pay them 23 million taels of silver." ”
The princess frowned, it was strange that the shameless person would agree to such a request.
But she had to obey her father's order, so she snatched the loudspeaker in Cui Zhifen's hand, glanced at her father's agreed eyes behind her, and then shouted to the ships on the sea: "Ten years to compensate you for all the silver, order: You need to agree to us to send Tang envoys to Datang to study, there is only this one requirement." ”
"What's the trouble? Decade? It's too long, and within a year, if you can't pay all the compensation, ....... ”
"Nine years."
"I'll call someone now."
"Eight years."
"Let your fishermen evacuate inland......
"Seven years."
"There are three more warships coming this way."
"Six years."
"I'll get them up to speed."
"Five years, no less."
"Let your father pack up the sheets and prepare to run for your life."
"You...... This shameless man, four years! It really can't be less! ”
"Let your father wash his neck and welcome your cousin or cousin into Kyoto to cut ...... with a knife."
"Three years, if you don't give in, I'll ...... I....... ”
"Okay, three years is three years, you can send Tang envoys to study in my Datang, but everyone needs to pay one year's room and board expenses, and one person a year will ...... 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"Why don't you die!"
