Chapter 556: Be reasonable
After listening to Rui's translation, Karashah looked shocked.
Regarding the Ottoman war, the Black Sheep Kingdom has received information, but their news is relatively lagging behind, and they only know that Constantinople is besieged, but they do not expect that the entire Ottoman has completely fallen.
His first reaction was not to believe, how could it be?
The Ausuman Empire and the Timurid Empire were the two superpowers of Central Asia, and almost all of the remaining small states and nomadic tribes survived in the gap between these two powers, including the Black Sheep and White Sheep tribes.
How could it be defeated by the Orientals, moreover, the whole territory fell.
Constantinople is surrounded by the sea on three sides, has a natural geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city has sufficient food reserves, even if it is besieged, it will not be a problem to hold on for a year and a half.
"I don't believe it, you must be lying, with the fortifications and garrisons of Constantinople, it is impossible to fall in a short time!"
"Believe it or not, besides, it's only been a few years since the Ottomans took Constantinople, so why can't it be captured?"
Wang Yue didn't give him a good face at all, mainly because he was too confident, five machine guns!
After listening to the translation, Karashah's face turned blue, and he said dissatisfied: "You Orientals have come to our territory, and you are provoking a war!" ”
"The entire Ottoman has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Tehran City is naturally no exception, you came to Tehran to loot, it is clear that you took the initiative to start the war, and we are just defending it!"
"You...... You say yes yes? ”
"Yes, I said yes, do you have an opinion?"
"Of course I have an opinion!"
"You can ask for advice, but we won't listen."
The two of them went back and forth,-for-tat, but it was bitter for Ruy, while translating, he kept wiping his sweat.
According to this momentum of negotiations, I am afraid that the two will not stop until they have a fight on the spot.
Just hit it, just don't hurt the innocent, I'm the innocent......
Karashah couldn't quarrel, so he had to say: "As the prince of the Black Sheep Country, I came here to negotiate today with great sincerity, and I hope that you will focus on the overall situation. ”
Wang Yue exploded when he heard it, pointed at Karashah's nose and scolded: "Fuck you, if you don't accept it, you go back now to gather soldiers and horses, I'll accompany you to fight again, and talk about it after the fight!" ”
"You...... How can you curse, vulgar! ”
"I'm rough of your mother's head, Lao Tzu has this temper, I don't like to talk about it, say goodbye!"
Seeing that people were flipping the table, Karashah had no choice but to say: "Okay, tell me your requirements!" ”
Wang Yue sneered: "Please make it clear, it was you who took the initiative to negotiate, we don't care, if you want to talk, show sincerity, if you want to fight, accompany you!" ”
"Shall I tell us what we want?"
"Say!"
The strong opening that Karashah had prepared was crushed by the hammer of others, and he had to make concessions again and again.
Who can't beat them......
"We believe that the reason for the last battle lies with you, and of course, we are also responsible, mainly because there was a communication problem, and these conflicts could have been avoided if the ownership of Tehran City was made clear."
"With all that said, what exactly do you want to express?"
"It's very simple, the ownership of Tehran City has not been decided, neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Timurid Khanate has been able to completely control this place, at present, Tehran is actually under the control of my Black Sheep State, you come and declare yourself the master, isn't it too unreasonable?"
"I have just made it very clear that Tehran belongs to the Ottomans, and now the Ottomans have become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no dispute about the ownership of Tehran City."
"No, it's just your statement......"
"It's my statement, and it's also our bottom line, you don't like to talk about it!"
"How can you do this, we are here to negotiate, very sincere negotiations, you can't go too far!"
"Lao Tzu is so excessive, if you don't accept it, go back and gather the army, let's see you on the battlefield!"
"You think the Black Sheep Legion will be afraid of you Orientals?"
"Come on!"
"You...... Can you calm down? ”
"Can't!"
Karashah's face turned the color of pig liver, and he seemed to be about to explode, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The question of Tehran's ownership can be discussed, can I finish speaking?" ”
Wang Yue said coldly: "Say! ”
"On the issue of Tehran's ownership, we can make concessions and let you take over, but we must compensate our Black Sheep Country for the losses, 10,000 gold coins, 50,000 catties of grain, and 2,000 horses, if you agree to this condition, the matter of the conflict between our two sides will be written off!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Yue suddenly burst out laughing, and then said, "I think you're dreaming!" ”
Karashah stood up and said angrily: "I warn you, since the beginning of the negotiation, your attitude is really too bad, I have put up with you for a long time!" ”
"You can bear it, no one forces you."
"I, I...... You ......"
Karashah was speechless with anger, he really wanted to slap the other party in the face and kick it twice, but this was someone else's territory, unless he didn't want to live.
"Okay, let's make one more move, eight thousand gold coins, forty thousand catties of grain, one thousand five hundred horses, do you think it's okay?"
"No way!"
"One more step, five thousand gold coins, thirty thousand catties of grain, and one thousand horses, this is already our bottom line!"
Karashah gritted his teeth, eager to crush them.
Wang Yue chuckled and said: "A copper coin, a pound of grain, and not a single horsehair, and besides, it was you who took the initiative to attack my Ming territory, and we haven't looked for you to lose yet!" ”
"You ......"
"How am I?"
Karashah took two deep breaths and said, "You have to be reasonable. ”
Wang Yue looked indifferent and said, "I'm just reasoning with you." ”
"You guys are bullies!"
"Do you know what it means to bully? When the people of Tehran City were unarmed and slaughtered by you, did you ever think that your actions were bullying? When you snatched the only food in their house and the whole family starved to death, did you ever think that you were bullying people? ”
Karashah was choked speechless, and the expression on his face was as if he had eaten a dead mouse.
Wang Yue continued: "Don't say that this place has belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is not, my Ming Dynasty has always taken it as its responsibility to benefit the common people in the world, and when I encounter such an injustice, I must take care of it!" ”
Karashah had no choice but to say: "The world is so big, can you manage it?" ”
"If you can't manage it, you have to manage it, Zhuang Ziyun, I know that I can't do anything, and if I am safe, I will be the best in virtue!"
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he waited for Lu Yi to translate, but there was no movement for a long time.
Karashah was also waiting, so they both looked at Rui at the same time.
Rui struggled for a long time, and then said: "I'm sorry, this sentence won't be translated ......"
Wang Yue had no choice but to say: "Forget it, I can't understand these estimates when I tell him, in short, Tehran is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people here are the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Rui carefully conveyed the words, and Karashah's old face became very distorted as he listened.
"I see, you don't even want to negotiate!"
"You want to negotiate, don't you?"
Wang Yue sneered: "You can talk about how much food and property you have looted in Tehran?" How many innocent people have been robbed? Send people and things back, maybe the emperor will be kind and can exempt you from your guilt. ”
"Impossible!"
Karashah was about to flip the table, but he finally held back and said: "Okay, let's make one more concession, Tehran City belongs to you, and you don't want to lose it, but your territory ends here, and you can't cross the border." ”
Wang Yue finally showed a smile on his face and said, "Even if you know each other, if you want to live in harmony, you must also agree to our conditions." ”
Karashah shouted almost frantically: "We have taken 10,000 steps back, how can you still have any conditions?" ”
Wang Yue said coldly: "If you don't want to talk, you can go, the gate is over there, no one is stopping you." ”
"Good!"
Karashah nodded emphatically: "You say, what other conditions do you have!" ”
"First ......"
"You mean there are many?"
Wang Yue was dissatisfied: "Do you want to talk about it?" ”
"Let's talk, let's talk!"
Karashah sat back in his place, and now he had given up.
I came with a mission, and now the other party's requirements have far exceeded my expectations, indicating that the negotiations have broken down, so simply probe the other party's bottom line and see what they really want.
Wang Yue said: "From the Ottomans to the Ming Dynasty, the middle has to pass through the countries of the Western Regions, here is the former Silk Road, your Black Sheep country must ensure that you can not plunder and harass the caravan of the Silk Road, whether it is the caravan of the Ming Dynasty, or other countries, you can not touch, of course, you can also form your own caravan, for mutually beneficial friends, we are very welcome!" ”
Karashah secretly said in his heart, if we don't rob the caravan, what will we eat?
At this point, you might as well agree first, and when the other party relaxes their vigilance and sends a caravan to trade, it's not too late to make a move.
When the time comes, if you don't admit it, as long as the goods are stolen and all the caravan personnel are killed, no matter who asks, we will always be a word, I don't know!
"Okay, we promise!"
Wang Yue looked at the other party's expression, and had already guessed in his heart that eight or nine were not far from ten.
These people look like robbers, they say they don't rob the road, who believes it?
"The second condition is that you must release the captured people of Tehran, as a concession, you will not be held accountable for the property you have stolen, but the people must be released, and their families are still waiting to be reunited!"
Karashah rolled his eyes and said, "I can't make decisions on this condition, I need to go back and tell the king, convene a meeting of the chiefs, and then make a decision." ”
"Yes, you can leave now, when the result will be discussed, we will continue to talk!"
"What do you mean...... Do you have any other conditions? ”
"Of course, that's the second one."
"You...... Okay, you've said it all at once, and if I can't call the shots on the spot, I'll go back and report together. ”
Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "The third condition, since we are willing to reconcile, it means that we will reach a military alliance and advance and retreat together, if the Ming Dynasty conflicts with other forces, the Black Sheep Country must send troops to assist, otherwise, if something happens to the Black Sheep Country, the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by." ”
Karashah pondered for a long time, this condition is very favorable for the black sheep.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the black sheep is a small tribe, and it may not be as good as a province.
However, if this article is agreed, all those in front must agree that they cannot loot the caravan and release the captive people of Tehran, this ...... It doesn't seem like a good deal.
In the long run, an alliance with the Ming Dynasty will definitely be profitable, the problem is that it is too far away.
Who knows what happened to the Ming Dynasty, whether it really occupied the Ottomans, or was it beaten out by the Ottomans?
If they really have the absolute strength to crush it, why would they still win over a tribe like Black Sheep?
The more Karashah thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if the other party was drawing a pie for himself.
"I also need to go back and discuss this."
"There is the last one, my Ming Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, you black sheep are just a small land, I don't care what your leader calls me, from now on, I can only accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that whether you call the king or the chief, it is your internal title, and if it comes to public, you must use the title of my Ming Emperor."
"You're saying that our own leader still needs to use the title you canonized."
"Exactly!"
"This doesn't work, I can't agree!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it?"
"It's not...... Why? ”
Wang Yue said loudly: "Just because I am the central country of the world, I am qualified to divide the land of the world!" ”
Karashah held back for a long time and said, "I came with great sincerity, you ...... There is no sincerity in sight! ”
"The conditions I gave you are also very sincere!"
"If we keep backing down, can't you take a step back?"
"Can't!"
Wang Yue shook his head and said, "What I told you is the bottom line, and I don't have to retreat." ”
"What if we don't accept it?"
"See you on the battlefield!"
Karashah exhaled heavily and said, "You guys are really unreasonable! ”
Wang Yue said: "This is a negotiation, naturally both sides have their own needs, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, no one forces you." ”
Karashah had a gloomy face and said, "You must know that you are outsiders after all, and it is not so easy to take root here!" ”
"yes, I think it's easy."
"You are so unscrupulous in expanding your territory, even if we let you go, there is still the Timurid Khanate around, there are Aries tribes, will they turn a blind eye to your actions?"
"Whoever comes is this sentence, if you want to be friends, I welcome it, if you want to fight, just let the horse come!"
