Chapter 404 Negotiations 2
The Minister of the Ministry of War waved his hand: "If you understand, I still understand. I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you don't even know how many soldiers there are in Daxing, how can you mess around? You can just let you be the official!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was so angry that he wanted to crush the Shangshu of the Ministry of War to death, so he raised his hand and blocked the Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Affairs: "You know what a dick! I said that if you don't know, you don't know!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War wanted to be more stubborn, and King Chen said: "The Minister of the Ministry of War drank too much at noon, and he is not sober at the moment, come here, send your lord back to rest."

The Minister of the Ministry of War was unwilling to leave, and finally King Chen's guards dragged him out in person.

King Xuan of Ming Dynasty was also surprised. It is not that Xirong has not sent people to Daxing in recent years, but the secret report is that Daxing has about 180 million soldiers stationed in various places.

Nanzhao has attached itself to Daxing and has become a vassal state of Daxing. They have sent people to contact them. The country is scared of being beaten, and it really has no intention of rebelling. Therefore, the 30 troops stationed in the southwest of the capital can be dispatched. Basically can't move.

But if Daxing had not only these 180 million soldiers, but a full 300 million soldiers, then their Da Rong rashly launched a war against Daxing, which would be hitting a stone with an egg!
A smart person thinks a lot, and when he thinks a lot, he will worry a lot. King Mingxuan's aura is visibly vented to the naked eye.

The following negotiations have been proceeding according to the rhythm of King Chen and Gu Xian. King Xuan of Ming Dynasty no longer said that the amount of compensation was wrong, or that it was impossible for Daxing to have such a large number of casualties. He directly lowered his posture. But the national power of the Rong Kingdom is limited, because the national treasury is empty in this battle and it is impossible to spend so much money.

Daxing has always been a state of etiquette. In the future, the state of Rong must be a friend of Daxing, helping each other and never leaving. So can the compensation be lowered?
But King Chen refused to let go, and the progress of the negotiation was very slow.

The next day, the envoys of Xirong heard the news that the military officer who had uttered nonsense at the negotiating table yesterday was dismissed.

This result further confirmed some speculations of the Xirong envoys, and their attitude became more honest.

In the next two days, there was no more Minister of War on the negotiating table, but the progress was still slow, but after so much tossing and tossing, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xirong was in a hurry.

Although he was not abused living in the Daxing Palace, he was extremely depressed all day long. He had heard about the arrival of Xirong's envoys to the capital, but he did not expect that after so many days, a peace talk had not yet been concluded. , that night he yelled that he insisted on seeing King Xuan of Ming Dynasty.

The emperor is a very understanding emperor, so he naturally agreed to the meeting between the two.

So when everyone saw King Mingxuan again the next day, they found that his forehead was injured and was wrapped in gauze.

The ensuing negotiations were very easy. King Xuan of Ming Dynasty made the biggest concession. He reported the minimum limit of Xirong, "The maximum limit is 200 million taels of gold, which is the maximum limit given by the emperor of our country.

Of course, there will be no shortage of souvenirs for tribute every year, and the same goes for ten beauties.

The contract of non-aggression can also be signed immediately, but your country must promise us to release our prince as soon as possible. "

Gu Xiandao: "King Xuan of the Ming Dynasty didn't mention the contract, and I have to forget it. Almost every emperor of your Dayong signed such a two-part never-aggressive contract, but in fact you are tearing up the contract every time. , If you want to fight, you can send troops if you want, so our sage said, let’s just discount it, we don’t want too much, just 200 million taels of gold.”

silence!Incomparable silence!

King Ming Xuan was speechless...

In his lifetime, it was the first time that King Ming Xuan saw the contract signed between the two countries being discounted.

However, silence is the main theme on today's negotiating table!

Gu Xian's words continued, "Actually, I still feel that discounting will benefit you a lot. First, as long as you welcome the crown prince back, you can continue to wage war without feeling guilty. Second, you don't have to bear the burden of treachery." Thirdly, if you win the battle against Xirong, you can claim compensation from us, what do you think?"

King Mingxuan felt very speechless!

This Mr. Gu almost wrote "Welcome to continue to come" on his forehead, what's the matter?What's wrong with cheating them so much gold once and still wanting them to do it again?
Now Ming Xuan Wang is more and more convinced that the Daxing Dynasty does have more than 300 million troops!
Only a country with a strong army dares to say such arrogant words!
Today's negotiation is over again, because forced by a shameless request to fulfill the peace treaty between the two countries, King Mingxuan can only write a letter to the emperor of Xirong Kingdom, letting him make up his mind.

This is a compensation issue involving nearly 400 million taels of gold. Although the emperor said that he will be fully responsible for the negotiation, Daxing's appetite is too great, which exceeds the limit given by the emperor by a full double. It is really not that he can make decisions without authorization. of.

After the negotiation was over, King Chen took the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Gu Xian, and Ye Hanyu to the Chaoyang Hall together.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone heard a coughing sound, and Ye Hanyu immediately stepped forward: "Father, are you feeling unwell, did you call the imperial physician?"

King Chen also said nervously: "Brother Huang, where else is he uncomfortable besides coughing? Li Changhai, how do you take care of Brother Huang? It's only the end of September, and Brother Huang is freezing?"

The emperor quickly waved his hands, "I'm fine, but Tiangan is a little angry, how about the peace talks?"

Don't you have to eat those bitter medicine soups when you see an imperial physician?It was just a couple of coughs, and it passed after a straightening.

What the emperor said was calm and clear, but King Chen and Ye Hanyu were still very worried, but with the presence of outsiders, both of them kept their worried words in their hearts, "Brother, we want too much money tomorrow. King Xuan can't be the master, he can only wait for Emperor Xirong's reply."

"Then wait, anyway, we have plenty of time."

The most important thing is that if this matter is really negotiated, it will definitely deter the surrounding countries that are ready to move. If they want to attack Daxing, they must be prepared to pay a huge sum of money.

Compensation is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that no matter which country puts out such tens of millions of taels of silver, they can spend almost the same amount of money. How will they live in the future?

In case of a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the only thing to do is wait for death.

The emperor really didn't expect to pay so much compensation this time, and he was very happy when suddenly a little eunuch came in and said something in Li Changhai's ear, and Li Changhai showed a look of embarrassment.

"What happened?"

Li Changhai took a few steps forward, and then said in a low voice, "The guard at the city gate came to report that Princess Furou has returned from the fief. He said yes, and said he wanted to celebrate your birthday."
