After some bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement with a war indemnity of 160 million taels of silver!

According to Emperor Xuanwu's intention, he wanted the Holy See to come up with a compensation of no less than 10,000 taels of silver, and pay it off within three years at the latest, which is also the bottom line, if even the bottom line cannot be reached, then the negotiations will inevitably break down.

Now there are 60 million taels more, and it is paid in a lump sum, which shows a problem, the Holy See is really rich, at least not as poor as Amideo said.

In fact, where did Zhu Houzhao know what war reparations were, and the reason why he asked for it was entirely because of Zhu Houwei's instructions.

The purpose of demanding war reparations is not extortion, but rather to deplete the national strength of the countries of Western Europe and, at least for a certain period of time, to bring the finances of Western Europe to the brink of bankruptcy.

In this way, Western Europe, which has suffered a heavy economic setback, wants to recover its vitality and wants to develop the pace of military industry will be delayed or even stagnated, on the contrary, the Dawu Dynasty, which has obtained a large amount of wealth, will have abundant wealth to enhance its national strength and strengthen its own strength!

In the face of this and the other, for a long time, Dawu's comprehensive national strength can steadily increase, while Western Europe needs a long time to lick its wounds.

Before Zhu Houzhao left the Ming Dynasty, the two brothers lay on the map and carefully built the brotherly country of the Ming Dynasty, according to Zhu Houwei's meaning, the Americas and Australia are undoubtedly the best places to build a country.

In Zhu Houwei's description, both America and Australia are good places with rich products and dense minerals, but Zhu Houzhao is unwilling to ......

The reason why I don't want to do it is because I didn't fight......

In the end, he chose Europe, for Europe, which has dozens of countries, it is a good place to fully satisfy the desire for conquest, so he came.

But what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that in his impression, the war that should have been devastating and decaying, in the end, the enemy he faced would be so tenacious, so tenacious that he almost overturned in the gutter!

There is no fixed pattern of war, and since it is not fixed, then it is necessary to adjust the strategy according to local conditions and time conditions!

If there are not enough people, no matter how big the territory is, no one will occupy it, and if there are not enough troops, the larger the territory, the wider the depth of defense, and the strength will be stretched, and at the same time, the people are also a stable source of soldiers, etc.

The most important thing is that the Dawu Dynasty, which is like a rootless Ping in Western Europe, cannot afford defeat at all, and once it fails, the price is simply unbearable.

In the face of the behemoth, the Holy See, which can really set off a holy war at any time, it is obviously unwise to press forward step by step and finally push the Holy See into a desperate situation, indeed, if the Dawu Dynasty is defeated, Daming can indeed mobilize a large army to cross the sea again.

But what about the two million people who have already emigrated?

Slaughter! Enslavement!

What about so many nobles and clans? If all of them are killed, Zhu Houwei will inevitably bear a mountain of pressure even if he is far away in Daming, and he will even bear the notoriety of deliberately letting the nobles of the clan come overseas to die!

The most important thing is Zhu Houzhao himself, no matter how much Zhu Houzhao himself does not want to see the emperor's profession, he gave up the throne to his younger brother, Zhu Houwei is a great favor, if Zhu Houzhao dies because of the colonial war, then this sin is great......

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao needs time, it will take several years to reorganize the new army, prepare for a decisive war with Western Europe, and need time for the Ming Dynasty to send enough arms and immigrants, only when all these are in place, the Dawu Dynasty will have enough confidence to launch a war to unify Western Europe.

As for the Holy See's plans, Dawu knows very well, since you also need time, then use this to maximize the benefits!

Zhu Houzhao really doesn't believe that with just a few years, the Holy See can catch up with Zhu Houwei, who claims to be ahead of the world's military industry for at least 300 years!

As long as the firearms in Western Europe do not reach the level of the Ming Dynasty, then they can only be pressed to the ground and hammered!

As for the immediate priority, of course, negotiations are still the priority.

The compensation of 160 million taels obviously did not exceed the bottom line of the Holy See, so it seemed that both sides were win-win......

However, the agreement on compensation does not mean that the negotiation is successful, according to the principle of easy first and then difficult, perhaps in the eyes of the Holy See, the job of losing money seems to be the easiest, and on the side of Dawu, I originally felt that the loss of money was the need to slowly pull the skin, but now it seems that I am thinking too much......

This time, there were three main parts of the negotiation, one was the land, the second was compensation, the third was the prisoners, and the rest of the small items were insignificant......

"Dear Ambassador Hou, since the war reparations have been decided, it is time to talk about the issue of prisoners."

"That's what Ben Messenger meant."

Amideo said solemnly: "In terms of reparations, the Holy See has made the greatest concession, so Dawu should also show sincerity and release the people that the Holy See needs, there is absolutely no room for compromise for the Holy See!"

Captives only...... For Zhu Houzhao, it is a waste of rice worms, as long as a good price can be negotiated, then there is no problem at all in releasing those rice worms.

"Your Excellency." Hou Si said in a deep voice: "The Holy See has the tradition of the Holy See, and Western Europe also has the war model of Western Europe, perhaps for Western Europe, defeat is not terrible or shameful, after all, in Western Europe where blood is supreme, defeat to one's relatives is not a big deal."

But! The Ming Dynasty is different, the Ming Dynasty treats the enemy with all the evil, pays attention to cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, as for the prisoners, either cut or pit to kill, there is a famous battle in the history of the East called the Battle of Changping, that battle Great Qin won, and the defeated Zhao State has 400,000 prisoners buried alive, why does the bishop think the war in the East is so? ”

Amideo shook his head dryly.

"Because there are too many captives and too many soldiers to watch, and if these soldiers riot, they will cause unrest in the victorious country, so the most simple way is to kill a hundred.

As for the kings of those enemy countries, it is the norm to give a cup of poisonous wine and kill, why? Because the defeated monarch may not be reconciled, they will run away as long as they have the opportunity, or deliberately show weakness and wait for the opportunity!

There is an idiom in the East called lying on the salary and tasting the gall, which is the story of the story of the Yue King Goujian who failed to be captured by the Wu State, and then endured the humiliation, and finally paralyzed the Wu Wangfucha, was sent back to the Yue State by the husband, and finally raised troops to destroy the story of Wu, so the most direct way to treat the enemy monarch is to kill.

Only the dead do not have the idea of recovering the country! But in several wars, although the monarchs of Portugal, Andorra, France and Rome all became prisoners of Dawu, Emperor Xuanwu did not kill them, which is already merciful, but not killing does not mean release, nor does it mean not killing in the future.

Emperor Xuanwu's face is gone! How does our emperor give an account to those heroic souls who died in battle! ”
