The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 867 Rent the Second Island (for Subscription)
Mo Xiaobai didn't expect to finish the tug-of-war of negotiations in one day.

Because not only the Dahan side negotiated peace with Baekje, but also the negotiations between Dasong and Silla were carried out almost simultaneously.

The negotiations on the second day broke up unhappy, and Mo Xiaobai received the news from Cao Yi and Park Chang through the black guard that night.

Unlike Dahan's request to redeem Gwangju directly with money at the beginning, Park Chang's offer from Baekje is very attractive.

As long as Park Chang promises to station no more than [-] troops in Cheongju, Baekje will immediately hand over everything related to Cheongju. The most important thing is the population of the entire city, the backup of all buildings and facilities, and the opening methods of some special buildings.

The negotiating envoys Cao Yi met were the same as Mo Xiaobai's side. Rather than talking about redeeming the city, they were delaying time.

"Want to persuade Silla to retreat first, and relieve the pressure on the flanks and behind?" Mo Xiaobai smiled, and passed the two letters to Guo Jia beside him: "Feng Xiao thinks, how will Silla deal with itself?"

After reading the biography, Guo Jia revealed a bit of deep thought: "My lord, Jia thinks that if there is no pressure from the lord, Silla is very likely to be persuaded by Baekje."

"Yeah, of course Silla expects to accept it as soon as it's good."

Mo Xiaobai sighed, no matter how he paints Silla, one thing will never change.

No matter how fierce the quarrel between Silla and Baekje was, it was also Sanhan's family affairs.

Baekje really wants to play the emotional card, and at the same time recognize Silla's rule over Cheongju, so there is no need for Silla to continue the stalemate.Not to mention anything else, the cost of an expedition of [-] troops is not a small sum.

But as soon as Silla withdraws, it will immediately have a different stimulus change for the whole of Baekje.

Goryeo must be the first to be affected. Even Silla himself has retreated. Where can Goryeo find an excuse to send troops?

As long as Baekje is willing to pay a certain price, Goryeo can withdraw its troops from the border.

At that time, Baekje can devote all its energy to the confrontation with the big Han and the big Song, and even if it will not recover the lost ground for a while, it can still drag Mo Xiaobai here.

It really took a year and a half. For Mo Xiaobai, it would be better not to have Baekje's idea.

"One hair affects the whole body, how should I put pressure on Silla?"

"My lord, you might as well tell Silla that once they sign the contract first, we and General Cao will immediately withdraw our troops and return Naju and Gwangju to Baekje unconditionally."

When Guo Jia opened his mouth, he was dredging from the bottom of the pot.

Without the backing of Dahan and Dasong, Silla would not be an opponent of Baekje even if it took some advantage by surprise.

Once the Huaxia Allied Forces directly withdraw their troops, Baekje, who is no longer in danger of destroying the country, will vent its anger on whom?

The answer is obvious.

Thinking of this, Mo Xiaobai laughed loudly and said: "The words of Fengxiao are to force Silla and Baekje to completely turn their faces."

"Wouldn't it be detrimental to the interests of the lord if the three Hans are allowed to be disconnected?"

"Haha, just as Fengxiao said, take a pen and paper, and I will personally write a letter to General Cao and Lord Park."

.........

A quarter of an hour later, the two swan geese flew to their respective destinations with Mo Xiaobai's handwriting.

In the middle of the night, Cao Yi and Pu Chang received a reply.

The letter to Cao Yi naturally analyzed the current situation in detail, and bluntly stated that the Han and Song families must advance and retreat together.As for Park Chang, it's not that complicated. Congratulations to Silla for fulfilling his wish to expand the territory, and then attach the phrase 'threat'.

Mo Xiaobai believes that Park Chang can understand it, because the truth is not very deep, but it is easy to be deceived by the immediate interests.

"Tell your master, we will definitely advance and retreat with him."

The same reply came from two different people. Both Cao Yi and Park Chang maintained the same attitude as when planning the battle, and did not have any more thoughts because of the temporary victory.

This also led to the next few negotiations between the four parties, and the expressions of the Baekje negotiating envoys became more and more dignified.

The division plan was declared a failure.

When Mo Xiaobai ended the negotiations on the grounds of stopping the talks and starting a war, the Baekje envoy who was sent to Gwangju finally relaxed: "Since the Earl covets the southern islands, he should know that there are at least two hundred islands in Baekje. How can we exchange all of them?" Yu Earl? If the Earl really likes a certain island or two, this envoy can report back to the prime minister on his behalf, and let the prime minister and the king decide."

Mo Xiaobai frowned: "One or two seats?"

"Yes, it can only be one or two small islands."

Mo Xiaobai nodded first, then spread out a map of Baekje, and drew two circles in the archipelago: "Just these two."

The Baekje envoy took a look and saw a black line appeared on his forehead again.

Jindo, Wando.

The two largest islands off the southwest coast of Baekje!

"Your Excellency, do you know that these two islands are no less than the completed state?"

"What's the problem? I just see that they are not small in size and close to each other. Otherwise, what do you think I should choose? Choose a deserted island that can't even build a village for fishing?"

"My lord's move is really difficult for the strong."

"Then I don't care. Right now, there are my subordinates stationed on the second island. You can come and take it. Of course, if you can take it back, I won't want it again."

Mo Xiaobai still didn't let go, but when he changed his voice, he changed his tone: "Of course, if you Baekje are really reluctant to cede it, it's okay to lease it to me as a land lease."

Lease?

Mo Xiaobai's words caused the envoy's expression to change slightly.

Houses can be rented, fields can be rented, can Dynasty Island also be rented out?

In any case, the name of lease is much better than directly dividing a large piece of land.

I thought in my heart that the big Han earl was being reasonable, and the envoy couldn't help asking: "Is there a charter for the lease that the earl said?"

"But rent your two islands, what else do you want? Lease these two islands to me at the price of one gold a year. If the term is 100 years, it will be fine."

Mo Xiaobai gave a very simple plan, and at the end he did not forget to add: "But if you want to take back these two islands after 100 years, all the facilities on the island will have to be paid for at the price, and the prosperity at that time A certain amount of compensation will be given.”

"The earl said, one gold a year?"

"Too little? It seems that you really don't want these two islands?"

"Young officials are humble and light, and this matter has to be reported to the prime minister."

"Then go and reply to me within two days, otherwise instead of seeing the contract, you will receive another letter of challenge."

Mo Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief when he said what he really wanted.

Let Baekje cede the island directly, even if Baekje is willing, there is a high probability that it will be ceded to the big man in the end.Lease is different, Mo Xiaobai can sign a lease contract with Baekje as the lord of Dream City.

Once the contract is reached, Jindo and Wando will also officially belong to Mo Xiaobai.

This is another form of regional division after the lord's territory, dynastic fiefdom, and alliance resident.

Land leased by other countries, that is, concessions.

Once Erdao gets his hands on it, the biggest shortcoming of Dream City will be made up at this moment.Whether it is the naval construction that Mo Xiaobai wants, or Yiying's marine aquatic products, they will all be carried out around the second island.
