"Ahem!" Becker said: "We, the East African main war faction, are ready to take the Yeke Kingdom, but considering the friendship between the two countries, we want your Majesty to make two choices yourself." ”

When he said this, Becker himself was a little embarrassed, and he said that he was going to destroy the diplomatic activities of other countries.

Sure enough, the fist on the other side was hard, and his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Oh, what choice are you going to give me?" ”

"The first is to resist to the end, and then my East African army will do it myself, if it is then, there will be no chickens and dogs." Becker said abruptly in his painting style.

"Mr. Becker, I have to say that you are really bold, I don't know how strong your military strength is in East Africa, but your mouth is really hard, don't you know how serious the consequences of angering a monarch are?" Mrsiri said-for-tat.

"Now, you guys are not in East Africa, but in my hands, you don't think you can run rampant here with dozens of guns!

I, Mrsiri, rule the kingdom of Yek not only by firearms, but by wisdom, and I am the only one who has achieved such an achievement among so many slave traders.

By the time you set foot in this royal city, I had already arranged for the samurai of the whole country, and now there are a hundred and ten men with guns pointed at you, many archers, and countless spearmen, and if you make any moves, I will beat you into a sieve in a very short time. Msiri said triumphantly to Becker.

"Well, why did Your Majesty say this, we carry weapons mainly to guard against wild beasts, and Your Majesty also knows that Africa has the most wild beasts." Becker said: "And this time I came to talk about cooperation, Your Majesty has not yet heard the second choice, how can you rely on guessing!" ”

"Then you can hear it! If you can't satisfy me, hum, then you won't be able to complain about my cruelty! Mrsiri said.

"This second plan is that Your Majesty, you take the initiative to take the subjects of the Yeke Kingdom to give up the Yeke Kingdom, and as a thank you, we in East Africa are willing to provide Your Majesty with a batch of arms to help Your Majesty re-establish the country abroad." Becker said to Msir.

After listening to Becker's words, Mrsiri's first concern was the matter of arms, as for East Africa's desire to annex the Yek Kingdom, this is not a secret, judging from the past style of the East African colonies, they are insatiable.

"It's a good idea for your country to buy my entire kingdom with a little arms," said Mr. Musiri. ”

Becker retorted: "Your Majesty, it's not the entire kingdom, we just want the land under your feet, and as for your wealth and subjects, naturally take it all away.

I think Your Majesty should know that with a gun in his hand, it is not difficult to find a blessed land to re-establish the country.

There is no need for both of us, for the sake of this land, fight to the death, and I think you should know best how much advantage firearms have over traditional weapons. ”

After listening to Becker's words, Msiri understood that this group of East Africans really planned to empty the gloves of white wolves, wanting to swallow the Yek kingdom without paying the price.

"There's nothing in the world that can't be made easy, but how much can you bid in East Africa?" Msiri said.

Becker held out five fingers.

"Five hundred guns? No, it's too little! Msiri shook his head.

Becker said embarrassedly, "I'm talking about fifty guns." ”

"Mr. Becker, can you East Africans have a little face, such a large area of the Yek Kingdom is not something that fifty guns can easily obtain."

"Your Majesty, business! Naturally, you have to bargain, if you think the price is not suitable, of course you can ask for it! Becker said.

"At least a thousand guns, and the corresponding ammunition, you know, we have to give up the entire Yeke Kingdom, and we can't start a business outside without weapons." Msiri said.

"One thousand is too many, at most seventy, seventy guns, plus the musket team that His Majesty himself has, can go sideways in the whole of Central Africa." Becker Road.

"Mr. Becker, the account is not calculated like this, the Yek Kingdom has been developed for a long time, and I, Mrsiri, have been conscientiously governing the Yek Kingdom for so many years, not to mention anything else, you look at this palace, he is worth more than seventy guns!" Msiri said.

"Well, Your Majesty, in fact, these palaces and cities have no value to us in East Africa, but are a burden, just like the buildings left by the Zanzibaris in East Africa, just demolishing them will waste a lot of our efforts." Becker said.

Destroying the heavens, Musiri scolded in his heart and said: "It is of no value to your country, but this is also the Yeke Kingdom spent a lot of financial, material and human resources to build.

Moreover, I can't find such a cheap one in the whole of Africa! A thousand guns is not a difficult task for you, and if you meet this request of mine, what if the Yek Kingdom gives it away, and not only that, but we can also leave the people to you. ”

"Ahh This is not good, Your Majesty, we only need land in East Africa, and of course it is better for your people to go with you, after all, do you need people outside! Becker hurriedly said.

"But what do I need so much waste for? I only need to take the warriors and officials of the Yek Kingdom and travel lightly, and this group of natives is also a burden to me. Msiri said to Becker.

Becker pondered in the palace for a while, this is true and he didn't expect it, this Musiri is simply not in the oil and salt, and is extremely indifferent to his own people, it seems that it is not possible to show some sincerity, East Africa wants no people, and he must find a way to let the Musiri himself drive these natives out of the Yeke Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this is good, this time we in East Africa suffer a little loss, we can provide you with five hundred guns, but you must take your own people away, you must know that five hundred guns can organize a strong army, enough for us in East Africa to personally conquer the Yeke Kingdom.

Therefore, if you pay 500 guns, you must not be more, and then you can easily build another Yek Kingdom with these 500 guns. ”

"A thousand!" Msiri still said to himself.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, I will talk to you about cooperation with Heqi, but it is not because I am afraid of the strength of the Ye Ke Kingdom, if you continue to pull like this, it will be meaningless, the price is five hundred, and it can't be more.

Otherwise, I can only regret to announce that this negotiation has failed. Becker said with a slight threat.

It seems that this is indeed the bottom line in East Africa, and Mrsiri is indeed a smart man, otherwise he would not have been able to complete the transformation from slave trader to king.

In fact, from the very beginning, Mrsiri did not intend to go toe-to-toe with East Africa, but just wanted to get as much as possible from East Africa.

Under the rule of the Musiri for more than 30 years, the Yeke Kingdom is now unable to even sustain itself and fish, and riots are frequent, all of which are forcibly suppressed by force.

The Musiri ruled the kingdom of Yek without any obligation, and after the tax was collected, he only had to buy weapons without a brain, and if there was any opponent, he would send him to Allah.

Under the rule of Msiri, the population of the Yeke Kingdom was reduced by 30 percent, so it was possible to accept the Eastern Bantu into the army.

The local natives are no longer easy to manage, and Msiri naturally wants to get rid of the pot, find another place, and start over.

The envoys sent from East Africa were just in time for Mrsiri to extort a batch of arms, and as Becker said, he could go sideways throughout Central Africa with 500 guns.

Moreover, the Yeke Kingdom originally had a musket unit of several hundred people, and there are still more than 300 people after the supply of ammunition was restricted in East Africa.

"Okay, Mr. Becker, this time I reluctantly agree to this simple matter for the sake of your face, but five hundred to guns, not a single shot is missing." Msiri said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as we don't see a single native left behind when we accept the Yeke Kingdom in the future, we will naturally keep our promise.

But before that, we will be able to supply only a hundred guns, and only after confirming the results will we be able to hand over the rest to your country at the border.

This is also a one-time employment, so you can rest assured that there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Becker said.

After thinking for a while, Mrsiri drank the wine in his hand and said, "Deal!" ”
