"The people of Dongying want peace talks?"

"Yes, General! They are willing to bow their heads and talk! Congratulations, you have conquered a great eastern country in less than sixty days! ”

"Conquest ......"

Ignoring the cheering soldiers, Lorraine himself knew that the current situation was a complete fluke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Britannian mercenaries did not come to play wars of conquest, they tried to fight wars to make money.

Although the wealth obtained by conquering a kingdom is immeasurable, the question is where is their conquest!

The Oda family was just in the middle of the war with the enemy, and was successfully attacked by Lorraine.

In order not to affect the rule of Dongying, it is not a big deal to bow your head and admit defeat to the barbarians.

It's not the first time they've done this anyway.

That's what the hell is like this, Lorraine saw the envoy a day later, and learned from the other party's hand and Miura's translator how Nobunaga wanted to reconcile.

“…… War is a two-way evil, and it is useless to be able to ...... others" The envoy who spoke was very good, but the oriental-style negotiation tone was really unbearable.

"Miura, you'd better tell the big guy to be faster."

"But my lord, the etiquette of the negotiation process ......"

"I don't care about etiquette, I need the real thing, ask him what price he is willing to pay in exchange for peace and Edo!"

Miura could only helplessly go to explain to the envoy, and I have to say that after being Xiyi for a long time, Lorraine has long been unaccustomed to such conversations.

"It's really rude, the old man has never seen such a brazen person!"

"Your Excellency, you should think about how to reply to General Lorraine's request."

"Requirements...... Wait, you mean this general of Xiyi? ”

Miura glanced at the other party suspiciously, could it be that after fighting for so long, you still don't know that he is the general of Brittany?

"Of course, this is the general of the Far Continent of Brittany, and in other words, in my country's terms, it is equivalent to the status of a humble and trustworthy prince......"

"What kind of is the Uesugi Tiger...... the envoy muttered, "but since I'm a general, then I have a plan to definitely open up the situation!" ”

Then, two days after the truce between the two sides, Lorraine saw a wry smile outside the city.

“…… Hundreds of pigs, cows, and sheep, as well as ritual instruments and musicians, and the masters of the temples near Edo, accompanied by shrine maidens and priests of the Onmyo-ryo, this is the emperor's etiquette! ”

Miura is super excited! This is the great ceremonial ceremony of the emperor that I have never had the opportunity to see, and legend has it that it can only be seen in the Heian period.

As the nominal supreme ruler of the country, the pursuit of etiquette is of course also the highest, although it seems very grandiose, but it is not of any use.

At least the Breton soldiers and the officers, who just thought the scene was really good, then the problem came.

"After the show, what about your compensation?"

"Ahem, cough, doesn't the general think that Emperor Toei's etiquette is not qualified?"

"That's not it, to be able to come up with such a big scene, I admit that the etiquette of your country is very ......"

"That's it, you can enjoy the unique etiquette, the general is still entangled in the so-called businessmen's things, it's too vulgar, right?"

Wait, is there any inevitable connection between the big scene and the compensation?

If it was the Eastern army and generals who were present, then after enjoying such an honor, they would definitely be relieved on compensation.

After all, Oriental culture is subtle and introverted, and it is forgiving and forgiving.

The problem is that their opponent is Britannia! White-skinned! What a bastard who admits money and doesn't admit it!

So the money was spent, the face was sufficient, the Bretanians were happy, and the Edo people were satisfied.

In the end, the compensation was not reduced in half of the year!

"You're humiliating me, Lord Lorraine!" I wanted to rely on great etiquette to increase the pride of the enemy, but I ended up lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot, and the other party did not get in with oil and salt.

"What the hell do you think, don't you need compensation for attacking us without permission? Just a ceremonial performance wants to reduce the compensation, you think too much! ”

Of course, Lorraine will not give an inch, he has long passed the age of saving face, and the more shameless he is in these years, the more comfortable he is to live.

Ms. Dawn of the New World, who knows how decent she is by listening to the name, is not the largest distributor of health care products and men's and women's health products, but the largest one.

Even the goddess of the sleeping moon, who has just become a god, although her main focus is on spiritual healing and magic research, is an internal high-level sanatorium, which is a place that all high-ranking officials dream of.

What's so strange about the gods throwing down their faces to encourage the cultists, they just want some compensation?

When the envoys discovered this important trait of the other party's shamelessness, they became very helpless - how could they expect to get what was not obtained on the battlefield.

"But Lord Lorraine, that's what you say...... In our current situation, these reparations are too much. ”

"Is it a lot? Why don't I think it......" Lorraine took a sip of tea, his brows furrowed slightly, the sencha of the Dongying people really tasted strange.

"300,000 Dongying gold coins, this alone exceeds our country's inventory, we have enough copper coins and silver mines, but ......"

Lorraine looked at the other party with interest, it turned out that Dongying's precious metals were insufficient, so-"In that case, then convert it into 600,000 silver coins." ”

"You!"

The envoy is going crazy, and he doubles it as soon as he opens his mouth, even if it is a silver coin worth less than a gold coin, is this a joke?

What's more, to cast the kind of round cake that the other party said, the cost of this alone makes people cry sadly.

Eventually, the compensation was exchanged for 200,000 silver coins and a large piece of land west of the port of Edo.

This was the famous "Edo Concession" in later generations!

If you want to fight with an army of tens of thousands, then it is better to have a base in the far east.

The eastern countries of Lorraine are not familiar, and if you want to win their trust and supplies, of course you have to help each other fight.

But in this way, the other party will be able to hold the supplies, and the best way is to have your own land.

The Edo Concession, which was intended as compensation, would be developed on a large scale by Lorraine, and eventually a large military base capable of accommodating at least 15,000 army troops and half of the main fleet.

Although he himself understood that with the existence of the Oda family, such a military base could not be so large, but it could refer to the concessions of the flower planters on the other side of the earth, in the early twentieth century.

The first part of the treaty was over, and it would take some time to mobilize the reparations, but the Oda family was able to enter Edo on a small scale, and finally there was no need to starve and be shot outside the castle.

But such a treaty was only a shame for the Oda family, so when Lorraine began to negotiate again, he found a familiar girl sitting across from him.

"I didn't expect you to come in person, Miss Oda Nobunaga."

"Such an important negotiation can only be reassured if I come in person, so let's continue to negotiate, General Lorraine.
