Chapter 583: Negotiating the Loss of Power, Heller's Calculations

Qu County, after a night of passionate negotiations of throwing soles at each other, the huge delegation led by Daxia finally reached an agreement with Fran Jiguo.

In the early part of the Great Xia, five treaty ports were opened, namely Chaozhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jizhou, and Pingjin Port, and the people of Fulang were free to enter and exit these cities, and obtained certain exemptions from the laws of Great Xia.

That is, if the Fran machine commits a crime, Daxia has no right to deal with it directly, and it needs to be tried by a joint court set up with the Fran machine.

In addition, the Franco-Rang Kingdom had the franchise right to export Bactrian porcelain and silk tea to Europa, and Bactria was not allowed to organize caravans, nor was it allowed to authorize other countries or organizations to export these goods to the West through the coast.

Of course, with such harsh conditions, Francois also made concessions.

First of all, it provided no less than 50 million taels of silver in taxes to Bactria every year, and paid tribute to the royal family on spices, precious stones, and tribute to Bactria Nad.

Secondly, King Frangi accepted the canonization of Great Xia, and added a superfluous title in front of the Holy Franji King, the king of the Holy Franji Kingdom of Oba, the Spanish land of Great Xia, Yongzhen Western Europa!

It's a mouthful to read, but that's what the officials of Bactria insisted on.

In fact, both sides understood that this was just a nominal tribute, and that there was a problem with translation.

Both Bactria and Furlong took what they needed.

From now on, the Fran Kingdom can take off completely, because with the backyard of Far Eastern Great Xia, it can let go of its hands and feet to compete with the territory on the ocean.

The most important thing is that it can enjoy the benefits of the East exclusively.

For Great Xia, the annual tax of 50 million taels of silver was enough to ease Great Xia's finances, and even more money could be used to defend against the Northern Qi and the Heavenly Wolf Empire.

Moreover, it has nominally obtained a vassal state of the West, and everyone has a bright future, as for the fairy leaf, the two sides tacitly keep their mouths shut.

However, after the negotiations, Heller made another personal demand.

"Honorable His Royal Highness Qin Zheng, I hope that your country can release our country's Lucy Knight, and according to international practice, our country is willing to pay a ransom of one million taels of silver."

Qin Zheng looked confused, and Koizumi Iuichi on the side explained: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Nine Emperors of your country forcibly sent someone to kidnap Lord Heller's righteous daughter despite the imminent friendship between the two countries. ”

Qin Zheng's eyes were cold: "Don't worry, Lord Heller, this palace will be your master, and this palace can also find an oriental title for your righteous daughter, how about the county lord?" ”

Heller smiled: "Then thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Qin Zheng also had a general understanding of Western knowledge before he came, of course, these were all brought back by Zhao Guoshi, and it has been a thousand years ago.

But Qin Zheng knew that there was a saying circulating in the West, the vassals of the vassals were not my vassals, since the two countries could cooperate, then why couldn't they win over this Heller?

Qin Zheng then promised: "Lord Heller, this palace is the crown prince, and according to your Western sayings, he is also the prince of a country, I don't know if you can be loyal to this palace, and this palace will give you the position of marquis." ”

Heller was stunned, this stupid prince still wanted to win himself over, of course he knew that this marquis was not another marquis, but it was good to have a marquis to go back to the West and pretend to be forced.

Although he is one of the leaders of the Far East Pioneer Group, he is often excluded by the aristocratic circle, because his title is too low, and the source of his bloodline is only a viscount, and he is only the second son of the second son in the family, and it is the result of many efforts to get an honorary knight.

Heller immediately knelt down on one knee and kissed Qin Zheng's boots, and at this moment Qin Zheng was extremely satisfied.

"Dear His Royal Highness Qin Zheng, I, Heller, am willing to be loyal to you, infinitely loyal!"

This scene also made the courtiers of Great Xia feel extremely comfortable, they spat at each other and threw their shoes last night, and they didn't give in to each other, they knew it was so simple, why bother?

Qin Zheng said: "Aiqing, please get up, in the future, you will be my first-class marquis of Great Xia, and later this palace will play the emperor to give you a ling!" ”

Heller got up: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" ”

He is also happy in his heart, who said that the nobles of Great Xia Feng are not nobles?

But just when everyone was happy, an unpleasant voice came from outside the door.

"Report, Chaozhou urgent, Chaozhou lost!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, especially the Chaozhou Thorn Shi Chufeng, who came specifically to create momentum for Qin Zheng, had a black face.

He was a defender, and the big city he was defending was lost, which was a big mistake.

Since ancient times, there have been rules that people are in the city, and if he wants to mix in the officialdom of Daxia in the future, it will be a huge stain, and now the Chu family has transferred most of the industry to Chaozhou City.

Lost, lost to whom?

Without waiting for Chu Feng to ask, Qin Zheng was already angry.

"Who is it, who is so daring?"

Yang An on the side sighed, who else could this be?

At this time, the messenger trembled and said, "Yes...... It's Qin Yun! ”

Qin Zheng looked at Chu Feng coldly.

"Chu Feng!"

"The minister is here, this palace orders you to take back the city, otherwise you will come and see you!"

"The minister takes the order!"

"Wait!" Yang An stood up, and he arched his hand.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are trespassing, the Crown Prince lives in the East Palace, and has no right to mobilize troops, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is easy to fall into the hands of others if he does this!"

"Moreover, Your Majesty has agreed to Qin Yun to establish a country, I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding in this."

Qin Zheng's heart sank, Emperor Xia was beating him a few days ago, if he really trespassed, maybe he would be impeached by those rats in the pot when he went back.

Qin Zheng thought for a while, and at this time Heller volunteered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to worry, Qin Yun is not the prince of your country, so presumably we will take action, and your country will not stop it, right?" ”

Zhang Qiguang said: "Of course! ”

Heller: "Qin Yun took away my country's silver paladin, and my country naturally wants to settle accounts with him, so let's prepare for three days, wait for the army of my Francoji country to land, and destroy Qin Yun in one fell swoop!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Great Xia Mission frowned, isn't this equivalent to putting the forces of other countries in the territory of Great Xia, which is probably easier to make people suspicious than the previous arrogance.

But Heller continued: "I am now loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am regarded as His Royal Highness the Prince's personal soldier, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a great achievement in quelling the chaos?" ”

"In the words of the East, if you treat me as a soldier, I will serve you with death!"

Qin Zheng laughed: "Well said! Heller Aiqing, this palace will give you another piece of jade. ”

Yang An wanted to speak and stopped, but saw that a group of Great Xia envoys who came with him all surrendered their hands and called "Prince Yingming"

As an old fritter in officialdom, he knows that he shouldn't say much.

Heller and Koizumi glanced at each other, and both saw calculations in each other's eyes.
