226 The Pan-Bohai Circle was formally established

After reading the "Bohai and Yellow River Agreement", the six leaders of the Yellow River camp looked a little gloomy.

This agreement was not a surrender, but a land annexation, and the Bohai Alliance annexed the Yellow River camp. This still has some benefits for saving the face of the six forces of the Yellow River camp, at least this book does not write them as the defeated side, but changes them to become members of the Bohai Alliance.

The four requirements set out above are not too harsh - if this agreement is a harsh one for the average player force, but not too harsh for the defeated side. In addition to the complete merger of the Bohai Alliance with the Yellow River camp, it is also a tax issue.

Putting aside the interests of all parties, it is beneficial for all players to have a single force unify the northern water system. The smooth waterway reduced many trade conflicts, and allowed the entire Bohai Circle to be connected to the Yellow River, rather than being divided into two separate territories.

The five player forces in the hinterland of the Yellow River agree to join the Bohai Alliance. The leader of the Xiangping Walled City hesitated for a while in his previous life, but finally agreed to sign this agreement. On some important issues of interest, the forces bargained for several hours.

For example, the handling of the fleets of the victorious and defeated sides, the military strength of the fleets of the various forces of the Bohai Alliance, the division of territory, the cession of interests, cooperation, and many other aspects.

Regarding the handling of the remnants of the fifty or sixty fighting ships of the defeated Yellow River fleet, Qin Xiaobai made a request, saying: "The fifty or sixty fighting ships of the original Yellow River camp have obviously been captured by our Zhou Shui fleet. I demand that they must be co-opted by the Zhoushui fleet. Under the command of the Zhoushui fleet, he contributed to the maintenance of the security of the Pan-Bohai Circle. ”

The leaders of the original Yellow River camp immediately strongly objected, although they were forced to surrender, but they did not intend to give away these more than 50 fighting ships.

"No, it's just a truce, not a prisoner. This is equivalent to giving you more than 50 fighting ships for nothing. These more than 50 fighting ships are worth more than 20 million copper coins, and the total value of the nearly 10,000 NPC soldiers on them is at least 50 million. \ This is equivalent to taking away our 70 million wealth at once. This is impossible to endure. "After we join the Bohai Sea Alliance, we will lead this fleet by ourselves, and we can work together with the Zhoushui fleet to maintain the security of the Pan-Bohai Sea enclosure. They don't need to be under your jurisdiction. ”

Qin Xiaobai shook his head and said, "No, if you continue to have this fleet, then the Bohai Alliance will still be divided. I don't know if you'll use them for other purposes or uses to jeopardize the Bohai Alliance. ”

Lonely smiled: "Let me make a compromise proposal, the little white boss only seized more than 50 fighting ships, but the NPC soldiers on the ship were released." From now on, all sea fighting ships. All of them are produced by the Zhoushui Shipyard and distributed by the Bohai Alliance, with each family sharing a point. This not only dispelled the little white brother's worries about the six forces retaining the fighting ships, but also reduced the property losses of the six new brothers. ”

However, this compromise plan proposed by Lone still dissatisfied the six leaders of the original Yellow River camp. Even if they don't seize the soldiers, only the fighting ships, the more than 50 fighting ships are worth more than 20 million copper coins, and they are reluctant to make this huge fortune. "No, as members of the Bohai Alliance, we are also qualified to have fighting ships and warships. Even if you don't produce it yourself. Will also buy. Could it be that he gave these fighting ships to the little white boss now, and then bought them back with his own money later? ”

A player standing behind Qin Xiaobai sneered strangely: "You can't just leave without paying any price." If you bring back more than 50 fighting ships, you will be satisfied, but what are our victors? We lost 220 fighting ships, aren't these money? We must leave the ship behind today, otherwise this agreement will not be signed, and we will continue to fight. ”

Meng Jinling was furious. "Who are you?" Dare to be so presumptuous! ”

The player laughed strangely: "Commander of the 1st formation of the Zhoushui Alliance, hooliganism is not a crime, that is, the crying father who beat you yesterday and called the mother!" I've been presumptuous in front of you for I don't know how many times, and I haven't seen you do anything to me. ^^ If it weren't for the little white boss agreeing to negotiate with you. You have already gone to the sea to feed the fish, and you are talking about how to keep your more than 50 ships. Why don't we go play again, and after the fight, come back and continue the negotiation?! At that time, naturally, there will be no question of who will belong to the more than 50 fleets. ”

Meng Jinling's face turned red for a while, and he was speechless that the hooligans were not guilty. He could only look at Qin Xiaobai. It is the senior commander of the Zhou Shui fleet, no wonder he is so arrogant. As an old man, he doesn't care about his little brother. ”

Qin Xiaobai didn't see it. I didn't hear it. The hooligan is not guilty of black-face, putting pressure on the six leaders of the original Yellow River camp, which is beneficial to the negotiations, and he is certainly very happy to see such a scene.

He said directly: "You can't take these more than 50 fighting ships away, after this naval battle, the ships used by our Bohai Fleet to maintain security are obviously insufficient." If you bring these five or so fighting ships back to the Yellow River, it will make me feel very uneasy. If a fleet from the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea take advantage of this opportunity to invade the Bohai Sea, it will put me in a very difficult situation.

In this way, more than 50 fighting ships and NPC soldiers, I will detain them for a month. A month later, the strength of our naval fleet was restored, and I will return them to you in their original condition. In this way, the safety of the Pan-Bohai Circle is guaranteed, and your property will not suffer any damage. This is my last resort, and there can be no more concessions. ”

Qin Xiaobai looked at the collars, his attitude was already very clear.

After discussing it, the leaders of the original Yellow River camp accepted Qin Xiaobai's final plan. More than 50 fighting ships were seized for a month and then returned. It's better than being confiscated or sunk.

After dealing with the problem of the remnants of the fighting ships of the defeated side.

In addition, there is the issue of the distribution of the naval fleets of the 14 forces of the Bohai Alliance. Fourteen forces. Including the "Zhoushui Fleet, the Skeleton Fleet, the six allies of the former Bohai Alliance, and the six forces of the former Yellow River Camp," each force has the right to have a strong fleet -- this issue is very important and has a direct bearing on the stability and strength of the Bohai Alliance fleet.

If only one of the Zhou Shui fleet has a huge number of ships, and the rest of the thirteen have very few ships, they will not be able to pose a challenge to the Zhou Shui fleet. The Zhou Fleet has the final say, so the Bohai Alliance is naturally very stable.

Just like now, the Zhoushui fleet currently has 150 fighting ships. The fleets of the six allies of the alliance had been completely wiped out in this naval battle, and they had basically lost their right to negotiate. And the six forces of the Yellow River camp only had 50 fighting ships left, and they were forced to surrender, and they also did not have much right to speak.

There is as much power as there is a fleet. The entire negotiation was basically carried out in accordance with the intention of the Zhoushui Alliance, that is, Qin Xiaobai's goal. But such a Bohai Alliance, supported by the Zhou Shui Fleet, will be very weak. Meet tougher opponents. It will be easy to fall into a crash. If the remaining thirteen also have a large number of ships, then the entire Bohai Alliance will undoubtedly be very strong. For example, if there are 150 ships in Zhoushui, and 50 ships in each of the thirteen families in other places, then the total number of warships is as high as 800, which is extremely strong.

But in this way, the thirteen forces of their clan also have enough power to speak, which will definitely pose a certain challenge to Qin Xiaobai's control of the Bohai Alliance, and the Bohai Alliance will fall into an unstable state.

The leaders of the players discussed for a long time, and tended to distribute the number of naval ships according to a certain ratio. The proportion of ships in the Zhoushui fleet accounted for x%. The other thirteen accounted for the percentage of the list.

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a while and decided that the proportion of Zhoushui fleet accounted for 30%, which was more appropriate. At present, the Zhoushui fleet has 150 ships, and it is not planned to be expanded. However, he will gradually replace them all with more powerful three-tooth building ships. Although the quantity is not much, the quality is strong enough. The replaced fighting ships will be sold to the Bohai Sea Alliance first.

The other thirteen countries of the Bohai Alliance will each be allowed to have 200 ships. Whether it's light or heavy, whether it's a fighting ship or a building ship. Such. The total number of ships in the Bohai Fleet will reach about 500, which is enough to protect the security of the Pan-Bohai Sea enclosure.

The Zhoushui fleet was stationed in the two military fortresses of Tanggukou and Lushunkou.

The 13 forces of the Bohai Sea Alliance have the obligation to protect the safety of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow River, and are concentrated in the three places around the Bohai Sea, Qinhuangdao, Yantai, and Weihai, and can go out to fight at any time. They no longer produce battleships, the warships they need. All are purchased from Zhoushui Shipyard.

Zhoushui Shipyard only produces large commercial sailing ships with more than two masts and two sails. The commercial sailing vessels of the following classes are produced by thirteen other shipyards.

In terms of territorial division, the members of the Bohai Alliance open their seas to each other. The remaining members are allowed to trade freely with their commercial vessels. Attacks on merchant ships are prohibited. This is very beneficial to breaking the separation of local forces in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow River, and allowing the Pan-Bohai Circle to form a whole.

Except for the Zhou Water Fleet, which had the privilege of collecting "sea taxes", the other members did not enjoy this privilege. All merchant ships passing through the Bohai Sea had to pay a certain amount of taxes to the Zhou fleet.

In addition, the Zhoushui Alliance alone supported the hard-hit Skeleton Fleet militarily and financially, so that the Skeleton Fleet could recover as soon as possible.

After one trouble after another was resolved and many differences were eliminated, the fourteen players led the fourteen powerful local player forces along the coastal rivers of Yan, Qi, Wei, and Zhou, and concluded and exchanged the "Bohai/Yellow River Agreement" with each other. For this agreement, the Bohai Alliance and the Yellow River Camp paid a total of 597 warships of various types, 79,871 NPC soldiers were killed, and the total value was about 611.1 million copper coins.

The Age of Empire Expedition: Rising Age calendar begins on the evening of April 26, 0001 and officially ends the next morning. History calls it the First Bohai War.

The Pan-Bohai Circle was formally established.
