Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 910 911 All Damned
It was the afternoon of the next day that the Dahua Empire officially received the note from the Tang Empire.When Jiang Run, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, saw the request of the Tang Empire, his face immediately became ugly.

"The Great Tang Empire is really too domineering! Isn't it normal for them not to get involved in the civil war of our Great China Empire? How can they find some unreasonable reasons and ask for compensation?" He threw the credential in the On the table, he didn't intend to present this thing to Zhao Kai at all.

Just kidding, if Zhao Kai saw this thing, wouldn't he explode in anger?For the sake of his own face, Jiang Run felt that he had to go and have a chat with the ambassador of the Tang Empire first.

But he just stood up, and after a second thought, he sat back in his seat: he thought of those damn diplomats in the Tang Empire, and he could guess what attitude these bastards would use to talk to him.

Since the other party sent this document, they must be determined to get it. Although the money seems to be a lot, it must be reasonable.

If the Dahua Empire doesn't give it, then it is entirely possible for the Tang Empire to send troops to join the war. At that time, it will not be a question of whether to give it or not.

Jiang Run even guessed what kind of conditions that damned Zhao Yu would agree to the Tang Empire in Fengjiang: Maybe, if the Tang Empire wants Jiange Nanku, this rebellious son will agree.

After all, compared with the entire Dahua Empire, places like Fengjiang and Zhe are nothing more than an area.

In order to be able to win the entire Dahua Empire, it is not difficult to cede Fengjiang.As long as he is not stupid, Zhao Yu will definitely know how to choose.

It's just that the foundation left by the ancestors and the painstaking efforts of dozens of generations of the Dahua Empire have been completely wasted.

"Alas..." Jiang Run sighed, picked up the credential from the table again, and read it carefully.

The first item is about compensation for the damage to the railway between the Qin, Hua and Tang Dynasties. The Tang Empire didn’t ask for much, only about 200 million gold coins.

If there are only these, the Dahua Empire can swallow this breath and directly give the money to the Tang Empire-it makes sense to spend money to eliminate disasters.Even Jiang Run himself could make the decision and persuade the household department to take out 200 million gold coins to settle the matter.

It's a pity that this is only the first article. The Tang Empire then proposed "compensation for trade losses". It is conservatively estimated that the trade between Qin and Qin will cost more than 5000 million gold coins a year.

This figure is a bit unbearable: 5200 million gold coins in compensation, there are already quite a lot of trees.You know, when the Dahua Empire was defeated, the compensation to the Tang Empire on paper was only about this amount.

Everyone knows that Dahua Empire actually paid more, but on paper there is only so much. This is Zhao Kai's logic: I can die, but I can't lose face.

The content in the third article is even more frustrating: the Great Tang Empire requires the resumption of trade between the Qin State and the Tang State within one month, which is tantamount to stipulating that the Great Hua Empire must end this civil war within one month .

If the time is exceeded, the Dahua Empire will have to compensate the Datang Empire a huge sum of money. For the Dahua Empire, this is simply a direct robbery.

But Jiang Run knew that if the Dahua Empire rejected the request in the letter of credence, there would soon be aircraft from the Tang Empire, tanks from the Tang Empire, and countless soldiers from the Tang Empire on the battlefield.

No matter how you look at it, that kind of situation is something that the Dahua Empire does not want to see.Jiang Run's instinct was to avoid such an ending, so he held the letter of credence for a long time and was unwilling to move it.

Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out that the Prime Minister Chu Muzhou walked in with his hands behind his back.He didn't speak, and sat in front of Jiang Run, waiting for Jiang Run to speak.

"My lord, you...but you know everything?" Finally, Jiang Run spoke up.He looked at Chu Muzhou and asked with difficulty.

"Understood." Chu Muzhou sighed, and said in a long voice: "Before I came, the Tang State had already sent me a copy of the credential."

"The country will not be a country!" Jiang Run's face was ashen, and his voice was full of sorrow: "This Tang country is really deceiving people too much."

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, so what can we do?" Chu Muzhou shook his head, and said a fact that many people are unwilling to admit: "The Great Tang Empire is growing, and our Great Hua Empire has long been exhausted. After the war... The country will perish."

"Thinking back in the past, His Majesty's persistence turned out to be right...Master Jiang, do you think...is it ridiculous?" Chu Muzhou laughed at himself, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his voice was full of exhaustion.

In order to save face, Zhao Kai wanted to send troops to fight for Zheng when the Tang Empire attacked Zheng.At that time, the Great Tang Empire did not yet exist, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty at that time did not take the newly rising Tang State seriously.

On the one hand, the Tang State claimed to be a minister and paid tribute at that time, and paid a large sum of money to calm Zhao Kai's anger.On the other hand, everyone believed that the Great China Empire was weak, and it was inappropriate to use weapons at that time.

But who knows, Zhao Kai was right at the time. At that time, mobilizing millions of troops and desperately helping Zheng Guo to drive Tang's tiger and wolf army into the sea may be the only chance for the Dahua Empire.

It's just that they were all wrong, and the Dahua Empire missed the last chance to fight to the death. Later, Tang State gained a firm foothold in Zheng State's homeland.

Now that I think about it, if I followed the emperor Zhao Kai's will and sent troops to protect Zheng at all costs, it might have been right.

"Lord Chu...what's the use of talking about this now." Jiang Run remembered that he was also on the side of the opposition, and his face became even more ugly.

All of them are self-proclaimed loyal and good ministers, and they work hard on weekdays, and they never slack off in major issues.But in the end, they just watched the rise of neighboring countries, and then pressed their dignity to the ground and rubbed them fiercely.

"Ah... about the compensation, let me discuss it with Mr. Jiang." Chu Muzhou knew that escaping would definitely not work. If he didn't come forward to help at this time, Zhao Kai might be at the peak of his anger. Kill Jiang Run.

Now they are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Only by helping each other in the same boat and uniting as one can there be hope of saving the empire in the end.

"After convincing His Majesty, you have to prepare for the worst. In any case, the 200 million for the railway can be compensated, and a part of the 5000 million for the trade must be cut... The most important thing is the third, the time-limited increase must be rejected , Even if you pay 1000 million more, you can't back down." Chu Muzhou is no less than a prime minister, and he arranged the matter clearly in just a few words.

He could see the sinister intentions of the Datang Empire at a glance: Among the three requirements, the most poisonous one is the third one. It is tantamount to forcing the Dahua Empire to follow the timetable of the Datang Empire during the Fengjiang civil war, which obviously increases Overwhelmed the pressure of the Great China Empire to use troops.

Therefore, Chu Muzhou's countermeasure is very simple: we accept the money, but you can't go too far!

Sure enough, after the two met Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai was so angry that he directly threw the table: he really couldn't stand the strength of the Tang Empire.

In the past, he, Zhao Kai, was the one who bullied people like this. When will it be Tang Mo's turn to push forward?Zhao Kai's cursing echoed throughout the room, if swear words could kill, Tang Mo might be hacked into pieces.

"He's forcing me! Whether it's Lions I or Dorne I... In this world, is there no one to uphold justice? Don't the emperors in this world worry about the rise of the Great Tang Empire? "After Zhao Kai cursed for a while, he took his seat out of breath, and questioned Jiang Runchu Muzhou, who was bowing his head and saying nothing.

"Far water can't quench near thirst, Your Majesty." Chu Muzhou persuaded him—he actually knew another piece of news that he didn't say.

Just now, before he came to Jiang Run, he arranged the eyeliner in the Binghan Empire and the Yangmu Empire to report that someone from Fengjiang spent a lot of money to recruit mercenaries in these two countries.

This is equivalent to saying that Fengjiang has solved the problem of soldiers. If the war continues to consume, the Dahua Empire may not be able to withstand consumption more than Fengjiang.

Because Chu Muzhou knew that Fengjiang was backed by the Tang Empire, as long as the Tang Empire was willing to pay, then Fengjiang's soldiers, weapons and ammunition would definitely be endless.

There are nothing more than two ways now: one is to capture Fengjiang as soon as possible, and put out this civil strife at all costs.

The second way is to persuade the Tang Empire to stop supporting Fengjiang's actions: close the port and stop transportation, then Fengjiang will be self-defeating, and the war will subside within a few days.

It is a pity that in these two situations, one Dahua Empire cannot do it, and the other seems to be unable to do it either.

"What is Zhao Chen dawdling on the front line? Is he waiting until I die before he can capture Fengjiang?" Zhao Kai recalled the unsatisfactory battle situation on the front line, and slapped the armrest of the chair and roared angrily.

Earlier, Zhao Zheng was defeated all the way to Shanping on the southern line... This incident has already made Zhao Kai lose face and become furious.

But then Zhao Chen's battle with Zhe was not smooth: the Great Hua army assembled a heavy army, but in the end installed the defense line built by itself, and there was no other way but to stay in place to waste time.

Every time Zhao Kai thinks of this, he can think of the first war between Dahua and the Tang Empire: neither Qian Jinhang nor Feng Kezhi seemed willing to carry out his orders, causing the front line to suffer a crushing defeat.

"Why! Why? Why are you unfaithful one by one? Why are you forcing me!?" Zhao Kai suddenly stood up from his chair, and roared furiously, "Damn it all! Damn it all!"
