The Triple Alliance set up a large camp thirty miles from the city of Chernikov, and Serchiak, escorted by a group of cavalry, came to the main camp.

Hua Houwei sat in the center, with Suleiman on the left, Montgogire on the right, Wan Songlin and Niu Yaowu at the bottom, and the other end of the round table left for Sechiak. After taking his seat, Serchiak began the negotiations with standard gentlemanly language: "May I ask Your Excellency the Prince of the Ming Empire, what did Poland do wrong, so that the three countries of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans, and the Crimea jointly attacked us?" ”

Hua Houwei quietly looked at the old man in front of him with white hair and ravines on his face, and said calmly: "Who is the big bad wolf and who is the little white rabbit?" ”

No one expected Hua Houwei to answer the question and say such childish words. Sechiak was stunned for a moment, the standard smile on his face disappeared, and he asked in a slightly serious tone: "I don't understand what Your Excellency the Prince means, what does the country have to do with the big bad wolf and the little white rabbit?" ”

Hua Houwei leaned back and said with a smile: "The little white rabbit has a beautiful hat, and when it saw the big bad wolf with the hat on, the big bad wolf slapped him and yelled: 'Tell you to wear a hat!'" ’”

The people present looked at each other, and no one understood what Hua Houwei was doing, only Wan Songlin gradually understood what Hua Houwei meant. The muscles on Sekiak's face twitched, and his tone became a little impatient: "Your Excellency, Prince, I am past the age when I need to listen to fairy tales. ”

Hua Houwei remained silent and continued to say steadily: "The little white rabbit was very aggrieved, but he couldn't beat the big bad wolf, so he had to go home and take off his hat and go out again." When he saw the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf shouted: 'Tell you not to wear a hat!' Another slap in the face, the little white rabbit's cheeks swollen high. ”

Seqiak had roughly understood what Hua Houwei meant, and sneered: "Is Your Excellency the Prince saying that weakness is the original sin?" Poland is a great country, hussars are invincible across Europe and Asia! ”

Hua Houwei continued expressionlessly: "The little white rabbit had no choice but to go to the tiger to complain, the tiger called the big bad wolf over and reprimanded him, and after the little white rabbit left, he warned the big bad wolf seriously: 'You don't want to be like this, it's difficult for me to do it.'" If you want to fight the little white rabbit, the excuse you find must at least look like it! For example, if you want him to find a piece of meat, you can beat it if it is salty, you can beat it when it is light, and for example, you can ask the little white rabbit to introduce you to the she-wolf, the thin one can be beaten, and the fat one can be beaten. Who knew that the little white rabbit could hear it clearly outside the door. When the wolf and the rabbit meet again, the little white rabbit uses his wisdom to resolve the verbal provocation of the big bad wolf, do you know how the big bad wolf does it? He slapped the white rabbit in the face again: 'Tell you not to wear a hat!' ’”

Sechiak stared at Hua Houwei with an ugly face: "What does the prince mean, Poland is the little white rabbit?" can only let the big bad wolf of the Ming Empire bully? ”

Hua Houwei gritted his teeth at this time: "I'm sorry, Da Ming is not the big bad wolf, but the tiger!" Sekiak, you haven't figured out your identity yet, I think today's negotiations can be over! Niu Yaowu, prepare to attack Chernikov! ”

Serchiak angrily stood up and yelled, "Wait a minute! A cold light flashed in Hua Houwei's eyes, and just as he was about to have a seizure, a bright smile appeared on Seqiak's face: "Your Excellency, please allow me to re-enter here." ”

Hua Houwei smiled and waved his hand slightly. Serchiak turned around and walked out of the big tent, then walked in again, knelt down on one knee in front of Hua Houwei, and said in a gentle manner: "Serchiak, the king of Poland and the president of the Senate under the seat of Lithuanian Grand Duke Zygmunt, has seen His Excellency the Prince of the Ming Empire, please accept my greetings!" ”

Everyone was amazed! seems to be the most old-fashioned gentleman, but in the blink of an eye, he has become a swaying alfalfa grass, and he is really a god! Suleiman finally understood how big the gap was between himself and these top politicians, and secretly resolved to change his past mistakes and never lose face.

Hua Houwei had a playful smile on his face, stood up, and helped Sekiak with his own hands: "Your Excellency the Senator is polite, please sit down and serve tea!" ”

Seqiak sat down in the position just now with a smile and said to Hua Houwei: "Your Excellency the Prince explained a fact in simple terms, between countries, strength is respected. It's my question that presumptuous! ”

Hua Houwei nodded: "Well, the Senator really surprised me." That's a good start, and with that kind of consensus, the rest of the conversation has a real basis. Well, Poland and Lithuania are two countries, and I personally think that such a match is out of place and is not in the highest interests of the people of the two countries, and I hope that the Polish royal family will consider this issue carefully. ”

Serchiak's face was still full of spring breeze, but there was a dense layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He took advantage of the time when he bowed his head to drink tea, quickly organized his language, raised his head and said with a smile: "The authorization given to me by the King of Poland does not include this content. However, the encounter in the Black Blood Plains must have been able to convince His Majesty. Your Excellency does not need to worry about this, I have come to find out how to achieve a ceasefire, after all, a long war is painful for the people. ”

Hua Houwei didn't think that he would be able to pressure Poland to agree to his own conditions immediately, talk about fighting, talking, without a tortuous process, how can there be a fat result? He smiled slightly: "That's a good point, then you can take the proposal back to ask Zygmunt for advice, I believe that the news in the near future will help him make up his mind quickly." The terms of the ceasefire are simple, become our friends. ”

The play meat is coming! Sekiak cheered up and cautiously asked, "So, how can I become your friend?" ”

Hua Houwei looked at Suleiman and Montgogire beside him, smiled and waved his hand: "The Ottomans need Galich as the main grain producing area, and Crimea needs Peryaslavl as the main grain producing area to improve the people's diet." And the Ming Empire, tsk, Mr. Senator, the defeated side always needs to pay something to get forgiveness, isn't it? ”

Seqiak swallowed hard, and stared at Hua Houwei's two lips in horror: "Please speak, I think this is a common international practice. ”

"Five hundred thousand gold dinars!" An astronomical sum that Serchiak could never have dreamed of, almost knocked him out! But in the next second, Hua Houwei's words brought him back to life.

"The Ming Empire does not need even an inch of land in Poland, we are a responsible big country, and we will never covet the land of other countries. The Ming Empire has always taken the maintenance of world peace as its own responsibility and will not occupy the land of other countries for no reason. ”

Hua Houwei talked eloquently on the main seat, his tongue was full of lotus flowers, and his demeanor was confident and elegant, but if these words were heard by Shaybani, he would definitely lament the injustice of heaven.

Serchiak came back to his soul and secretly calculated in his heart, although 500,000 gold dinars is a lot, Poland is not unable to take it, but who is afraid of burning money? So he put on a pitiful look: "Your Excellency, Poland is only a regional country, and there is not so much gold. Can it be less? Oh, Poland strongly demands to join the UN! And willing to form an alliance with the Ming Empire alone! ”

Hua Houwei was stunned for a moment, and his smile became sincere: "Oh? The United Nations needs the involvement of a regional power such as Poland in concrete matters. Uh, well, I don't think the total amount can be less, but 50,000 dinars can be a UN contribution. Well, there can also be fifty thousand gold dinars as a guarantee for Poland in the UN. ”

There's a door! Seqiak immediately sensed Hua Houwei's interest, and immediately increased his firepower: "Thank you for your pity. Poland-Lithuania can become an iron pincer to hold the beast of Moscow, and there will be more than 100,000 troops stationed on the border in the direction of Muscovy all year round. ”

Hua Houwei was really happy: "Haha, Your Excellency the Senator is really a friend of the Ming Empire!" In this way, I can make the decision to remove the 100,000 gold dinars as the military expenses of this army! ”

Sekiak also wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and then pull out a little more from Hua Hou Wei, Hua Hou Wei smiled and shook his head: "It's okay!" You can't be too greedy! ”

Serchiak had no choice but to smile and nod: "Okay, it's just that Poland's national strength is very weak, and it can't make up so much gold for a while, can it be paid in installments?" ”

Hua Houwei smiled and shook his head coldly: "Can't!" ”

Sechiak smiled bitterly and explained: "Your Excellency, those Venetian merchants are a bunch of vampires, if you borrow from them, Poland will go bankrupt!" ”

Hua Houwei smiled: "Xiao Linzi, give him a convenience!" ”

Wan Songlin coughed: "Daming has a strong bank that can lend to Poland with good interest, uh, one point, oh, two points, okay, three points!" ”

Hua Houwei rubbed his eyebrows at this time, the change of eyes and expressions just now was really a bit laborious, this Xiaolinzi, soft-heartedness is not an excellent quality.

Wan Songlin was worried in his heart, three points of interest was already a usury, would Seqiak agree? Who knew that Sekiak was overjoyed and cried out in surprise: "Three points? Oh, my God! Are you sure? Can I borrow money personally? ”

The banking industry in Europe is developed, relying on the church, large and small private banks are all over Europe, especially Venice and Genoa are the concentration of banks, but the interest rate is generally high and scary, and the interest rate is generally more than 50%. Hua Houwei still underestimated the banks of this era, and their shamelessness and greed were far beyond imagination. That's why Sekiak can't wait to ask if individuals are qualified to borrow money in Daming's bank, which is really cost-effective.

The negotiations lasted only three days before the Holy Roman Empire sent an envoy to visit Hua Houwei.

"What's that? Uncle? No way! When did Lao Tzu have such a relative? ”
