Chapter 246: Blackmail? Robbery?
"That's right, right? Why bother because of this small amount of money, you should fall into the harmony between our two countries! Ren Chao immediately said with a smile.
Shoutaro Theomura looked at Ren Chao's virtue of seeing money, and he didn't smile at him, and he understood in his heart that this Ren Chao just wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail a sum of money and fill his pockets. Thinking about this, Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but put his mind at ease, if he could give Ren Chao a little money and let him agree to withdraw the troops, it would be worth it.
Ren Chao waved at a personal guard next to him, then turned his head to Komura Shoutaro and said with a smile, "Although you and I say that personal relations are good, what about this kind of thing?" It is related to the interests of the two countries, and it is still necessary to do a good job in official affairs. I'll give you a calculation of how much you should compensate us for. At this time, the guard had already handed Ren Chao a delicately crafted abacus.
Komura Shoutaro barely showed a smile, and did not speak, but in his heart he gritted his teeth and scolded Ren Chao, Lao Tzu has a bullshit relationship with you, Lao Tzu is now eager to eat your flesh, drink your blood, pluck your skin, pump your tendons, smash your bones, so that you can never be reborn.
These supernatural people can't hear it, even if they think that this old devil must hate themselves very much, but they don't care. You scold a few words and you won't lose a piece of meat, not to mention that you still just scold a few words in your heart, if you really have the ability, you scold and try! Lao Tzu immediately smashed one of your dog teeth, cut out your tongue, and made you only eat for the rest of your life.
Ren Chao took over the abacus that the guards had lowered, and there was a mess of it, the abacus was crackling for a while, and he said with a smile in his mouth, "I'll do a good calculation for you!" According to incomplete statistics, after the Japanese army left Pyongyang, the looting of various areas east of Pyongyang caused a total of 100,000 Korean civilian casualties, and each person should pay 100 taels of silver. 100,000 people is 10,000,000 ......."
Komura Shoutaro's face darkened suddenly when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, and just wanted to refute, when Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet?" When that's over, let's talk about it together. Komura Shoutaro snorted coldly when he heard this, and could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, and stared at Ren Chao fiercely with a pair of eyes.
Ren Chao didn't even glance at Komura Shoutaro, and continued to fiddle with the abacus in his hand. He continued, "The Japanese army plundered and looted the property of the Korean people and burned down countless houses of the Korean people. So be it! For the sake of your friendship with me, I'll give you a discount, just let you accompany 10 million taels of silver, so it's 20 million taels. ”
It's still a discount, and it's still so-so 10 million taels? It's a shame for what you said! Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but tremble with anger. But he didn't dare to have a seizure. I can only pray silently in my heart, Amaterasu! You can do it, strike a thunderbolt and kill this demon!
Ren Chao was not in the mood to see how ugly Komura Shoutaro's face was at this time, and then calculated. "Due to the reasons of the Japanese government, the army has been stranded in the Osumi Islands for a long time, and there are dozens of islands in the Osumi Islands, large and small, of which ten islands have garrisons. Each island garrison consumes 1 million taels of military spending, and ten islands are 10 million taels, plus the previous 20 million taels. That's a total of thirty million taels. You've heard it too, I'm right! ”
Komura Shoutaro hadn't come to his senses in shock, and at this time, Niu Kaixuan, who was standing behind Ren Chao, couldn't help but reminded loudly, "Boss, have you forgotten that in order to ensure the logistics supply of the garrison in the Osumi Islands, our Jiaolong fleet has been in the Osumi Islands, and the military expenses consumed by the Jiaolong fleet are not counted." ”
"That's right! And what about the military spending of the Navy? I almost forgot about it. Ren Chao said with a suddenly realized expression, "The military expenses of the navy, you can give 10 million taels so-so!" This is a total of 40 million taels. ”
"Are you blackmailing? Is this a robbery? Komura Shoutaro finally couldn't help but burst out, "We, the Great Japanese Empire, categorically will not accept such an impudent request. ”
"Blackmail? Robbery? Ren Chao couldn't help but snort coldly, "What do you mean by blackmail?" What is robbery? Do you think that at the beginning, you Oriental pirates were unreasonable, sent troops to Taiwan without authorization, killed our Taiwanese people, and afterwards even asked me to pay 500,000 taels of silver in compensation for the aftermath, is this the real blackmail? Let's talk about last year! You sent troops to occupy Korea without authorization, and then invaded the territory of our Qing Dynasty, and you burned, killed, plundered and did all kinds of evil along the way, that is the real robbery! Now you actually beat a rake, saying that Lao Tzu blackmailed, Lao Tzu robbed? It's a shame for what you said, you're going to be shameless! Originally, for the sake of your friendship with me, Lao Tzu has been extrajudicial and has given you a discount and a part of it, not only are you not grateful to Dade, but you even say that Lao Tzu is blackmailing? Lao Tzu robbery? In this case, Lao Tzu will not talk to you about friendship, a total of 50 million taels, not a single cent less, you obediently give money Lao Tzu will withdraw the troops, if not, Lao Tzu will send the tiger army to get it himself. ”
"You~!" Komura Shoutaro was pointed at his nose by Ren Chao for a while, and he didn't say a word at all. After Ren Chao finished speaking, he turned around and left, looking at the back of Ren Chao leaving, Komura Shoutaro had no other way but to sigh.
"What are you doing? Let's go back and raise money! Niu Kaixuan patted Komura Shoutaro on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile.
Komura Shoutaro snorted coldly, and left the governor's yamen directly with his entourage.
"Handsome! You're so amazing, one mouth is 50 million taels! Look at the little devil who scared him, his face turned white at that time, and now he feels ridiculous when he thinks about it. Ha ha! Niu Kaixuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Is fifty million taels a lot?" Ren Chao asked casually.
"Fifty million taels, not much? But what about the little devils? You have to be ruthless, if you calculate it this way, the 50 million taels is really not much. Niu Kaixuan said after thinking about it carefully.
"I sue you, 50 million taels is not much at all, and Lao Tzu still asks for less!" Ren Chao said very strictly. Others may not know, but he Ren Chao remembers clearly, after Japan's victory in history, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", not to mention the cession of land, just the indemnity is a full 200 million taels of silver! If you add the 30 million taels that were redeemed in Liaodong later, it will be 230 million taels, and if you add interest, it will be more, in comparison, Ren Chao only asked for 50 million taels with the little devil, which is too little, thinking of these Ren Chao suddenly felt that he was not too good to the little devil.
