Chapter 1623 - Weak Countries Have No Diplomacy
Adults have always had money, the elderly and children have been halved, and the population of four or five hundred thousand is 300,000 yuan according to Guo Ye's calculation, in other words, 30,000 taels of gold. It's still far from 300,000 taels of gold.
That's not the point, though. No matter how cheap a person is, whether it is consistent money or ten times money, it can't be bought. It takes at least 100 yuan to be reliable.
The crux of the whole thing is that Guo Ye has a covetous heart for the three surnames of the Maojindao population in Baekje. Even if Guo Ye only pays the usual money, if Fuyu Zhang is honest, then it is easy to say anything. If Fuyu Zhang swears to die, he must be prepared to face Guo Ye's anger.
Guo Ye sneered: "If His Majesty King Wu resolutely refuses to allow it, it is very simple. We, the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, and Silla joined forces to collect debts from His Majesty King Wu. Now you owe a total of 300,000 taels of gold to Goguryeo and Silla, and you owe me 800,000 taels of gold to Guo Ye. The price you set yourself is 200,000 taels of gold for 10 cities, that is, 20,000 taels for a city. Let's just take another 50 cities in Baekje. ”
"That's a good idea." Jindeman licked his lips involuntarily and said, "Your Majesty King Wu, for the sake of the peace of our Three Kingdoms, I don't think there is any need to fight, as long as you hand over another fifty cities." The debts between us are written off. ”
Yuangai Suwen also thought this idea was good, and said, "Yes, yes." Your Majesty King Wu, you will agree, there is a way, no debt and light. It's good for you, it's good for us, the creditors. ”
Promise? How dare Fuyu Zhang agree? In the whole of Baekje, there are only 120 cities, and 50 are ceded, plus the 50 cities that were invaded by Goguryeo, which is equivalent to losing half of the land and population at once.
Originally, Baekje was the weakest among the three kingdoms. In this way, they are completely disqualified from being on an equal footing with the other two countries. One day, Goguryeo and Silla will be able to destroy Baekje at will. Of course, it is more likely that Silla and Goguryeo will join forces to carve up Baekje.
When the time comes, can you still expect Guo Ye to call the shots for Baekje? With Guo Ye's character, he doesn't ask for a piece of the pie, and he is already worthy of Baekje.
Fu Yuzhang's face was gloomy, and he said, "Qin Guogong, don't push people too much. I'm really in a hurry, I ...... I ......" He originally wanted to say that he would take refuge in Goguryeo, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he still didn't say it. Fuyu Zhang is not the queen of the sand house, and the face of the lord of a country is still needed.
Besides, if you have to choose a country to surrender, it is better to defect to Goguryeo, than to defect to the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is said that the nominal ruler of Goguryeo is now Gao Zang, it is actually the Yuan clan who is in charge. Yuangai Suwen killed the original royal family of Goguryeo. The Baekje royal family and the Goguryeo royal family came from the same source, and Fuyuzhang surrendered to the past, isn't that looking for death?
And Datang is different, no matter what, the face of the Celestial Empire is still needed. Whether it is defeated and captured, or surrendered voluntarily, as long as you have been the lord of a country, you can get good treatment when you arrive in Datang.
In the end, Fu Yuzhang changed his words and said: "It's really urgent, this king will not accept your mediation, and see how you deal with the Tang Emperor." ”
Guo Yedao: "Your Majesty King Wu, why do you bother? I'm not pushing you. Your Baekje intention to do something to the three surnames of Mao Jindao has long been known to my Datang. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and you slaughter hundreds of thousands of people at once, which is really the anger of people and gods. Wouldn't it be a double effort to use these useless people to forgive Baekje's debts? ”
Yuangai Suwen frowned when he heard this, he was happy to see the reduction of Baekje's national strength. But at the same time, enhancing the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not what he wants to see. He asked: "Qin Guogong bought these hundreds of thousands of people, but he wants to send them back to the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Guo Ye shook his head and said, "The migration of hundreds of thousands of people costs too much, and we in Datang can't afford to pay this unjust money." It is better to place these hundreds of thousands of people in Shuikou City, and then it will be managed by the three countries. ”
Yuangai Suwen nodded and said, "This is very good, we Goguryeo have no opinion." ”
Fuyu Zhang said angrily: "This is a matter between our Baekje and Qin Guogong, what does it matter to you Goguryeo?" ”
Yuangai Suwen sneered, "Could it be that His Majesty King Wu thinks that you Baekje still have room for bargaining? This is a joint decision of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo and Silla, and you Baekje must agree if you agree, and you must agree if you don't. ”
Fuyu Zhang opened his mouth, unable to say anything to refute. Yuangai Suwen is completely unreasonable, and he resolutely convinces people with his strength. This is what Baekje is most afraid of at the moment.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, ignored Yuan Gai Suwen, and said to Guo Ye: "Isn't Qin Guogong afraid that this king will kill all the people with the three surnames first, and then pay compensation with the money he plundered them, so that your wishful thinking will come to naught?" ”
Guo Ye threatened: "Your Majesty King Wu can try it." Let's see if your order is given quickly, or if the army of our three kingdoms is fast. But by that time, fifty cities won't be enough for us. I'm afraid that Baekje will be worried about destroying the country. ”
"You...... Are you being unreasonable? I also paid the indemnity, and the people with the three surnames of Mao Jindao are my internal affairs in Baekje, what does it matter to you? ”
"Your Majesty, King Wu, you are wrong to think so. As the old saying goes, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, even your majesty King Wu is the minister of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the people under your rule? To protect my people from being slaughtered, my Datang move is fair and honest with a clear conscience. ”
Fu Yuzhang was able to take care of it this time, and said, "Okay, Qin Guogong said it well. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and Fuyu Zhang has been taught. I just don't know your truth, Da Mo Lizhi agrees or disagrees, and Queen Seondeok agrees or disagrees. Are they willing to hand over their people to the protection of your Datang? ”
Jindeman said: "Your Majesty King Wu is trying to provoke the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and our Silla?" Deman makes a statement here, Qin Guogong's words are my Jindeman's words, and our Silla has unconditional support. ”
"Hmph, sure enough, it's the heroine's arrival in the country, the omen of the country's demise. Kindman, you're a woman, with long hair and short knowledge, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. If the words of Qin Guogong can be established, the Tang Dynasty will be able to interfere in Goguryeo's domestic affairs at will in the future, what do you say? ”
Yuangai Suwen glanced at Fu Yuzhang and said coldly: "Your Majesty King Wu, you can extinguish that luck." If it is useful to be reasonable in this world, what do you need an army for? The old man doesn't care whether Qin Guogong's reasoning is right or not, he only depends on whether Qin Guogong's idea is beneficial to Goguryeo. What is good for us is supported, what is not good is opposed, that's all. ”
After a pause, Yuangai Suwen continued, "All in all, in short, the population of the three surnames of Mao Jindao, as well as their property, you Baekje must hand it over. If you think Qin Guogong's reason just now is not appropriate, hehe, then the old man can also tell you a truth. ”
"What's the truth?"
Yuangai Suwen said proudly: "The 200,000 army in the hands of the old man is the truth!" The Tang Heavenly Soldiers behind Qin Guogong are the truth! Queen Seondeok's Silla cavalry is the truth! ”
Jindeman rarely agreed with Yuan Gai Suwen's words this time, and said: "As the saying goes, reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. With these 200,000 troops in your hands, you can really go to the whole world. ”
"Woohahaha......" Yuan Gai Suwen twisted his silver hair in his hand and laughed heartily: "Queen Seondeok, you are really good at talking, you have won my will, I have won my mind!" In the past, our Goguryeo and Baekje joined forces to attack Silla, and it was completely Fuyuzhang who was sowing discord, but now the old man has repented. In the meantime, you and I should be closer and closer. ”
"That's what Deman means."
Yuangai Suwen and Jindeman sang and harmonized, making it clear that they didn't take Fuyu Zhang in their eyes, and they really made Fuyu Zhang tremble with anger and couldn't speak.
Guo Ye sighed and said, "Your Majesty King Wu, the situation is stronger than people, so far, you still agree." Otherwise, our Tang Navy came from the east, the Goguryeo army killed from the north, and the Silla army in the west, the three kingdoms joined forces, and you led a group of remnants of the defeated generals, how to resist? ”
