Chapter 139: Cordial and Friendly Peace Negotiations!
Move, move, move!
The ground within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Xiao Yu's naval camp was 'chaotic' in the next few days, and all the 20,000 Han people, mainly the families of the naval soldiers, were packed and transported away by Wang Ze, and more than a dozen small villages of Baekje people in the surrounding areas that were relatively close to the camp were also swept away by Wang Ze, a greedy guy.
Recently, Wang Ze was in a hurry to develop Iwami Ginzan and Oki Island, which had been named Hidden Kirishima Island, and the silver mines produced by Iwami Silver Mountain and the gold mines produced on Hidden Kirishima Island had a very important effect on Wang Yong's currency reform, and now these Baekje people are mainly preparing for these two places.
According to the traditional script, as soon as the people of Baekje, who were supposed to cry and shout and refuse to leave, heard that they were going to be absorbed by Jeju Island, they were happy to bloom one by one, and they packed their luggage faster than the soldiers who came to rob them, for fear that Wang Ze's side would not want them, so that the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Battalion were stunned one by one.
In fact, Wang Ze didn't know that there was also a country in later generations, because the neighboring country refused to annex all of its own, and only annexed half of its own land and gritted its teeth at the neighboring country, that country was called Mexico.
After Wang Ze finished transporting the people, the weapons, copper and iron in the camp were all packed and transported, although these weapons were relatively old, but they could be sold to other countries and forces after being transformed.
All the grain stored in the camp was transported away, and now a large number of immigrants from the islands of the East China Sea have a great demand for food; All the logs stored in the camp for repairing ships were taken away, and the Jeju Island shipyard needed these processed timbers. In the end, even the piles of firewood in the camp were transported away, because it would save wood from Jeju Island and other places, which would help protect the local environment.
Just when Wang Ze was moving things, he suddenly gave birth to a kind of excitement of 'drawing his sword and looking around', Fuyu Wang, who was frightened by Wang Ze's lifeless momentum of moving things, came back! If he doesn't come back, I don't know what Wang Ze will be moving from Baekje again.
Buyeo Wang's speed this time was already very fast, from here to Baekje Sihyun Fortress is more than 200 miles, and the land in between is mostly rugged mountain roads, as a result, Buyeo Wang only took two days to bring a large number of Baekje noble ministers who came to negotiate.
When Fuyu Wang came to the original Xiao Yu naval camp, he couldn't recognize this place that he had been to many times, and the camp that was once full of people was now empty, and it looked particularly depressed.
After two or three days of moving, now except for some houses that cannot be moved, all the others that can be moved have been moved, and even dozens of big trees in the camp have been cut down and transported away by greedy sailors because of their good timber, in their words, "You can build a big ship!" Now there is not a single common man in the camp except for the thousands of soldiers and horses left behind by Wang Ze.
Seeing that the 'door' window of the house in the camp and even the big 'gate' made of logs at the entrance of the camp have been demolished and removed, Fu Yuwang shook his head vigorously and sighed secretly, the level of Wang Ze's gang is too high, and it is degrading to use thieves without emptying, it is simply three feet high! This time Baekje's small actions against Wang Ze are really too undeserved.
Seeing that the group of Baekje nobles who came here with Buyeo Wang looked around as soon as they entered the camp, Wang Ze secretly sneered in his heart, he really didn't have any good feelings for these people who ran to hug their big 'legs' and shouted for help when they encountered a crisis, and immediately made small moves from behind once they gained power.
Small, you dare to calculate me behind your back, see if my brother I can't kill you this time?
In order to be able to greatly deter the Baekje people, Wang Ze really sharpened the knife of slaughtering people, and the ironclad battalion of Liu Wancheng finally became independent from Zhou Tong this time and became the ironclad battalion directly under Wang Ze, and now the number of people has expanded from about 100 to 500 people, which is a real battalion.
After the new transformation of the iron armor not only the protection ability to a new level, even the weight is much lighter, the iron armor on the back of the shoulder is stamped with a large piece of steel plate, the other parts are still made of cowhide embellished steel sheets, and even the steel sheets are all used in the high-temperature baking blue process, not only has a strange beauty, these iron armor is not rusty.
The horse-chopping sword in the hands of the soldiers of the ironclad battalion is still four feet long with a blade four feet long, five feet long with a sword handle, and a length of more than one zhang with a full length, because of the recent progress in the forging process, the weight is a quarter lighter than the early horse-chopping sword, although it is only about ten catties lighter, but the resulting combat effectiveness has increased a lot.
Compared with the more majestic ironclad battalion, Cao An's blue wolf battalion is not bad, although the latest armor is not distributed, but the quality of the leather armor distributed by the blue wolf battalion last year is also very good, they are now all fully armed, and the newly made covered iron helmet on the head only 'exposed' the position of the soldier's eyes.
The leather armor on the body is also very well maintained, the steel plate on the leather armor has not yet adopted the blue baking process at that time, in order to prevent rust, it is coated with a layer of black "color" raw paint, with dark gray "color" leather armor "color" and helmet, just the appearance is scary enough, not to mention that Cao An also let the soldiers beat the whole army's blue wolf flag.
In order to increase the deterrence of the Baekje people, under Cao An's order, the Blue Wolf Battalion has rarely unified the weapon style for the first time since its establishment, and now there are no more than six types of weapons in the whole army, which makes Wang Ze, who is accustomed to the weapons exhibition of the Blue Wolf Battalion, feel strange.
As soon as they saw the arrival of the Baekje people, with the order of Yoo Man-seong, more than 500 soldiers of the ironclad battalion lined up again and formed a sword formation on both sides of the road on which the Baekje people were advancing.
Looking at the knife array that appeared in front of him again, Fu Yuwang shook his head a little helplessly and smiled bitterly, as if he remembered that when he first saw Wang Ze two years ago, it seemed to be like this, but at that time, he could still get Wang Ze's understanding, I don't know if it can be this time.
Except for a very small number of Baekje nobles who followed Buyeo Wang, most of them were pale with fright when they saw the hundreds of swords and axes laid out, and they did not dare to move forward with two trembling forces, which made Buyeo Wang, who was watching on the side, look down on them in their hearts, since they don't have the courage to fight with the tiger, don't provoke the tiger, and the trouble you caused by the damn you have to wipe your ass with Lao Tzu.
After glancing at these nobles with great contempt, Fuyu Wang walked forward with his head held high, and saw Fuyu Wang moving forward with his head held high from the sword and axe array, some of these nobles pretended to have the courage to follow, and others finally gritted their teeth and followed in desperation, and if they wanted to die, everyone would die together.
Because the houses in the camp were almost demolished, Wang Ze didn't stay in the room anymore, and simply put up a formation in the school field in the camp, thousands of soldiers of the blue wolf battalion lined up on both sides, and when they saw the Baekje mission led by Buyeo Wang coming to the school field through the sword and axe array, thousands of pairs of eyes suddenly looked at these people.
At first, the Baekje nobles who had the courage to follow Buyeo to look through the sword and axe array of Yoowanseong felt that they could finally relax, but who knew that there were so many pairs of eyes, and suddenly the pressure was great, and their hands and feet felt redundant, and they didn't know where to put them.
Seeing that Fuyu Wang finally came to him pretending to be calm, Wang Ze smiled and instructed left and right: "Go and fetch some cool well water, see that the Fuyu family is sweating!" "The weather was originally extremely hot in June, and Buyeo Wang was very nervous all the way, and it was normal for him to sweat like this.
The Baekje nobles who followed Buyeo Wang's arrival originally planned to offer a sycophant as soon as they came to the camp, anyway, the people of the Central Plains like to listen to flattery, as long as they say good things to accompany them, Wang Ze will definitely release his children back immediately.
As for the 'sexuality' of the Chinese, especially the big Chinese figures, the surrounding countries and ethnic minorities, including the Baekje people, have long been 'touched' through, anyway, as long as there is a problem in the Central Plains, they will come to burn, kill and loot, and when the Central Plains is strong, they will bow their heads and admit their mistakes, such days have lasted for hundreds of years, and it is certainly right.
However, these Baekje people don't know that Wang Ze doesn't belong to this kind of people, and according to the cheeky principle of not letting go of the mistake of killing and being invincible in the world, Wang Ze has always been very harsh to foreign races, and it is impossible for these Baekje people to take their children away without bleeding.
Sure enough, when the people of Baekje put forward their opinions with anxiety, Cao An, who heard it next to him, was suddenly furious, drew his sword and stared at the people in front of him, and as Cao An drew his sword, the thousands of soldiers of the blue wolf battalion around him also showed their weapons.
The Baekje nobles who were stared at by thousands of heavily armed 'elite' soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and Cao An spat on the ground with disdain, and said disdainfully: "I, these bastards! ”
At this time, Fuyu Wang saw that these nobles were almost intimidated by Wang Ze, and he also knew that it was time for him to appear, so he immediately persuaded him: "Don't be angry, I and other small countries in Baekje are all people who sit in the well and watch the sky, and I annoyed the little marquis by making inappropriate remarks today, and I hope that the little marquis will not be annoyed!" ”
Wang Ze's face was a little pale, and he smiled: "I will give the Buyeo family a face, but you and other children of the Baekje families who participated in the Xiao Yu bandit group were all captured by me, and there is no doubt that they have been stolen, and I didn't kill them in the face of the Buyeo Shizi the day before yesterday, and now there is no need to say anything else, either each family will take money to ransom people or I will behead all the people!" ”
As soon as Wang Ze's voice fell, there was silence in the audience, and the Baekje nobles didn't know how to say it anymore, is this Central Plains person in front of him really a Central Plains person, why does he look like he is asking for money like a death, doesn't it mean that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains people have been ashamed to talk about these things?
Not to mention that these Baekje nobles were stunned there, Wang Ze smiled and pulled Buyeo Wang's sleeve to a high ground on the shore, pointed to dozens of warships in the distance and said to him: "Brother Buyeo, you and I were originally two countries that lived amiably, and now this kind of thing happens to you and you don't want to see it, right?!" ”
Seeing that Wang Ze had already given himself such a big step, of course Buyeo Wang went down the slope, nodding again and again like a little 'chicken' pecking rice, he said: "I said a long time ago, this incident is just that some nobles were 'tempted' and 'confused' by Xiao Yu, and I, Baekje, have always been very friendly to the little marquis!" ”
Hearing that Buyeo Wang Ze shamelessly put gold on himself in Baekje, he was really 'quite 'admired', but it was not yet time to turn his face with Baekje, so he continued to laugh and said: "Yes, these nobles are really a little too unwise, but I think the main reason for this incident is that there is too little 'exchange' between you and me!" ”
Fuyu Wang's heart that was gradually letting go of Wang Ze was mentioned again and again, and he asked suspiciously: "I don't know what the little marquis said?" Do you want to increase trade between you and me? ”
Hearing Fuyu Wang's pretended words, Wang Ze smiled and said: "Of course not, I mean that most of the nobles in your country are concentrated in the capital Siyu City, and the understanding of the military between you and me is not too deep, which is very detrimental to the military mutual trust between you and me!" ”
Wang Ze even pulled out the military mutual trust in the back, and the more Fuyu Wang listened, the more he was confused, he simply opened the skylight and said brightly, and said to Wang Ze: "Please forgive me for being confused, let's say it clearly!" ”
Seeing that Buyeo Wang's words had come to this point, the smile on Wang Ze's face disappeared, and he said to Buyeo Wang a little coldly: "In order to prevent the nobles and some people in Baekje from creating this farce, I hope to send my navy and infantry to conduct a joint military exercise with Baekje's navy and infantry army!" ”
Seeing that there was a 'color' on Fuyu's face, Wang Ze's face was cold, and he said sharply: "Could it be that Brother Buyeo thinks I'm joking this time?" For the sake of the 'friendship' between you and me in the past few years, I will give Brother Buyeo another hour to think about it! ”
Saying that, Wang Ze no longer paid attention to Buyeo Wang, and went straight to the crowded Baekje nobles, this time Wang Ze, who was 'made' to the fire, was ruthless and decided to increase the material money and food demanded by these Baekje nobles by 30%.
Seeing that the Baekje nobles in front of him were still procrastinating and refusing to agree, Wang Ze said loudly to them: "Everyone, look north!" ”
As soon as the Baekje nobles, who were still arguing over the ransom just now, heard Wang Ze's shout, they couldn't help but look to the north of the camp, but there was nothing there except a steep hill and a stone masonry sentry box on it, and they didn't know what Wang Ze was telling everyone to look there.
Just when many nobles were stunned, they saw a black smoke burst out, followed by a roar of 'boom boom' summer thunderstorms, and the hill bag that was facing the big camp and big 'gate' disappeared, along with the sentry box above.
The nobles of Baekje were immediately shocked by this series of upheavals, although they had always heard that Wang Ze had thunderbolts under his command, but they had always thought it was a rumor, but now they were stunned when they saw these nobles.
Looking at these nobles who were still in a daze, Wang Ze said loudly: "Everyone, I am kind enough to discuss with you here, if any of you don't want what I just proposed, then I will send someone to your territory to get what I need, and if there is any 'radical' reaction at that time, don't say that I didn't tell you in advance!" ”
After Wang Ze threatened him with force, these Baekje nobles, who had seen the power of gunpowder weapons, had no choice but to agree to exchange a large number of cattle, sheep, grain, and supplies for the children of their own family, and of course, Buyeo Wang also told Wang Ze that he would discuss military exercises between the two sides with the king of Baekje.
Through this 'exchange', Wang Ze not only taught a group of nobles in Baekje who did not know the height of the sky, but also shocked the king of Baekje through military exercises, and even easily received thousands of stone of grain, so that half of the food needed by the Han people under Xiao Yu before harvesting was available.
