Chapter 528: Negotiation (I)

Hou Si and his party were warmly received, but he saw hatred in the eyes of these clergymen.

But it's normal, think about it, in Western Europe, the territory of the gods, suddenly broke into a tiger, and this tiger was extremely ferocious, in the blink of an eye, it bit a few wolves in Western Europe, and also bit the wolf that survived all over the body, how can the Holy See, as the head wolf, not hate!

But these have nothing to do with Hou Si, and he came to negotiate this time, to put it bluntly, to break the fighting spirit of the Holy See and strive for the greatest interests of the Dawu Dynasty.

Three days later, the two sides sat down at the negotiating table!

Prior to this, the two sides had exchanged their respective requirements for negotiation, and naturally they had already predicted the bottom line of the other party.

"Distinguished envoy, the Holy See cannot accept the several demands put forward by your country, and the sincerity of your negotiations is not at all visible in these demands." As the chief negotiator of the Holy See, Amideo first used such a sentence as his opening statement.

Hou Si said with a smile: "In the same way, the request put forward by the Holy See is difficult for the Dawu Dynasty to accept.

But since it's a negotiation, let's talk about it, there is an old saying in the old East called 'sit on the ground and start the price, and pay back on the ground', negotiation is to bargain and negotiate a mutually acceptable condition, noble Bishop Amideo, don't you say? ”

Amideo nodded, as if he felt that Hou Si, who was negotiating on the other side, was a good person, at least not as aggressive as he was a winner.

"So dear Envoy Hou, let's discuss the content of the negotiation now, how about it?"

Hou Sihaha laughed and said: "This envoy sent the Holy See at the behest of Emperor Wu, naturally to solve the problem rather than to pull the skin, before coming, His Majesty the Emperor Wu was in front of the envoy to teach the opportunity to tell the envoy that although the Dawu Dynasty has an invincible army, and it has also won battles on the frontal battlefield, and even now it has occupied three or four percent of the territory of Western Europe, but the East of China is a state of etiquette, and we came from the far east, not to open a colonial war, but to punish!"

A few years ago, the Portuguese and Spanish fleets came to the East, and this group of villains wanted to open the gate of the Ming Dynasty with their knives and guns, steal the coastal towns of the Ming Dynasty as their own, and slaughtered thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Emperor was extremely angry at the behavior of the two countries, as the so-called 'come and not be rude', so Jiajing Tianzi let his brother lead the army across the ocean, came to Western Europe, found Portugal and Spain, and wiped out the two countries in a war, which can be regarded as avenging the Ming people who were slaughtered by the soldiers of the two countries, blood hate!

That is to say, the Ming Dynasty originally did not mean to attack Western Europe, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy the land, presumably the Holy See also knew that there were too many ownerless lands in this world, and some lands were more vast than Western Europe, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy the land, there was no need to come to Western Europe to fight a bloody war!

But for the sake of revenge, Daming can't help but come, otherwise the majesty of the Jiajing Son of Heaven will not be trampled on by foreign countries, and it will not make the Jiajing Son of Heaven lose the hearts of the people.

According to the tradition of the East, the land conquered by their own army is their own, since Portugal and Spain have been destroyed, then the territory of these two countries is the inseparable territory of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will rest to take it back, otherwise it is the Ming Dynasty, the mortal enemy of the Dawu Dynasty!

The Dawu Dynasty had no ambition to expand, but the Holy See launched a fleet and sank five Daming ships docked off the coast of Portugal, killing and wounding more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Daming Naval Division, and gathering 1.5 million troops to launch the Battle of Andorra.

The source of all this strife is not in Daming, not in Dawu, but in Western Europe and in the Holy See! Bishop Amideo, I don't know if you agree with what the envoy said! ”

Amideo's face was an ugly mess, according to Hou Si's words, the fault was that Western Europe was in the Holy See, and the Ming Dynasty in the East was a soldier of no way, but now he has become a righteous army......

But if you really want to analyze it according to Hou Si's logic, it seems that there is really nothing wrong with what you said......

Think about it, if it weren't for the arrival of the Portuguese fleet in Daming, how could Western Europe attract the evil tigers of the East?

As for whether the Portuguese slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty and whether the Spanish army participated during the period, the Holy See really doesn't know, and now that both countries are destroyed, it is impossible to figure it out, so what Hou Si says now, he can only take it as true if he doesn't believe it.

The ensuing annihilation of the enemy at sea and the fall of Andorra were indeed planned and organized by the Holy See, but was it wrong?

There is a vicious tiger breaking into the house, shouldn't the owner expel or even kill the evil tiger?

However, it cannot be denied that the evil tiger of the East did not make further conquests after destroying Portugal and Spain, and the fundamental reason why France still occupies a large territory of Holy Rome now is the defeat of the Battle of Andorra of the Holy See!

The Western European coalition was defeated, and the Holy See was defeated, so it was forced to sit at the negotiating table.

"Dear Ambassador Hou, the Holy See admits defeat and has the courage to face defeat, but your country's war compensation of 30,000 taels of silver is too much, so much that the Holy See can't bear it at all, and the reason is not convincing, you say that this war compensation is for the compensation of the dead soldiers of your country, this is really ridiculous, your country has no more than 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers, how can you ask for so much compensation, and the crusaders sacrificed and killed millions of soldiers, the Holy See ......"

Hou Si interrupted Amideo's words and said: "Your Excellency, it seems that your understanding of war reparations has been deviated, the so-called war reparations refer to the compensation given by the defeated country to the victorious country, which contains many things, such as the bereavement of soldiers, the mobilization consumption before the war, the consumption of food and even arms during the war, and the post-war reconstruction, etc., as for the vanquished people have no right to compensate the victorious country, and the wounds on your body can only be licked and borne by the Holy See itself."

Moreover, the proposal of war reparations also means the end of the war, and it also shows that Dawu does not mean to continue the war, and it shows that in the land of Western Europe, the Dawu Dynasty is willing to live in peace with the Holy See.

Of course, if the Holy See feels that it has enough strength one day and wants to take back the occupied land from Dawu, then you can declare war on Dawu anytime and anywhere, and of course, the Holy See must also think clearly, once defeated, whether you will be able to bear the price. ”

Amideo fell into deep thought, the original intention of the Holy See to ask for negotiations was actually to delay time, in the eyes of the Holy See, the reason why Dawu is strong is to rely on the power of firearms, so if you want to defeat Dawu, it is not enough to rely on the sea of people alone, they must develop equally powerful firearms, and at the worst, they must have a way to restrain Dawu firearms!

That's the foundation!
