Chapter 800 Unless you stick to the city (third update)
The Qiang envoy did not expect that the brothers would be so arrogant, openly coveting their Qiang land in front of him.
Daxia is indeed a bunch of ambitious people!
Thinking this way, he completely forgot that the Qiang country took the initiative to cause trouble in the first place.
"Six cities, or nine cities, choose one yourself." Yuan Suijun said. If there are nine, then three more cities will have to be captured.
The Qiang envoy gritted his teeth tightly, wishing to strangle the greedy brothers to death - but he sadly remembered that he could not defeat Yuan Suifeng at all.
He suddenly changed the topic and said, "We, the Qiang people, have a beautiful pearl, and we are willing to offer this pearl to conclude peace between the two countries."
Yuan Suifeng looked at the envoy as if he were a fool. Is he dreaming about exchanging six cities for one beauty? It’s not like everyone is like his sister-in-law. One person is worth more than a dozen cities.
Yuan Suijun said: "Is the pearl you are talking about the princess of Lingchuan?"
The daughter of Prince Jian.
The Qiang envoy couldn't help but perked up, thinking that Yuan Suijun had heard of Princess Lingchuan's reputation and was interested in her. Yes, men would be attracted to the young and beautiful princess.
"It's her. Princess Lingchuan is beautiful and kind-hearted..."
When he was about to speak eloquently about Princess Lingchuan, he heard Yuan Suijun say: "If the Qiang Kingdom wants to send Princess Lingchuan to Princess Lingchuan, it will need to add an extra city."
The Qiang envoy thought he had heard wrongly and looked at their brothers in confusion.
Yuan Suijun said calmly: "The princess of yours has come here, and it has no other use than wasting our food in Daxia. And we, Daxia, have to use the taxes of the people to support her, which is a big loss. If we ask for it again,
A city is not too much, right?”
The Qiang envoy was so angry that he almost vomited blood at these words. How could this be too much?
Yuan Suifeng nodded repeatedly, "I heard that she is Prince Jian's favorite daughter. She has the best food and clothing since she was a child. I am afraid she will spend more than 100,000 taels a year. She is not twenty yet this year.
Years old. If she lives to be fifty, well, in thirty years, the expenses will be three million taels!"
Yuan Suifeng shook his head hurriedly and said: "You can support this princess yourself, we can't afford it in Daxia. Unless you give us two cities, it will be enough."
Although my sister-in-law also spends a lot, her sister-in-law can make money, and she spends more money on others. But this is different for Princess Lingchuan. Yuan Suifeng would not be so stupid as to treat such a princess
Take it back. Looking at His Majesty's previous attitude towards Princess Chaoyan, we know that Your Majesty does not want more foreign concubines in the harem, so naturally we have to try our best to mess with this matter. The reason that the eldest brother came up with is very good.
The Qiang envoy turned red with anger and said angrily: "Don't even think about it, there are at most six cities! Don't think about the others!"
If you are not careful, you will reveal your trump card.
Yuan Suijun immediately answered, "Then six cities. Next we should talk about compensation."
The Qiang envoy's eyes widened, "We already have six cities, are you still not satisfied?"
Yuan Suijun said: "These six cities were captured by us and originally belonged to us. Because of your Qiang country's repeated crimes over the years, the people on our border have suffered greatly. Because of this war, many of our soldiers died here.
.”
The Qiang envoy gritted his teeth and said, "We will die more."
The number of people who died in Daxia is not even 30% of their number, right?
Yuan Suijun glanced over with a cold gaze, "The one you flirted with first is cheap. No matter how much loss you suffer, you will deserve it."
Yuan Suifeng grinned, "If you are not satisfied with the compensation, why not continue to use the real seal on the battlefield?"
He added, "I have never seen the Qiang capital in my whole life, so I am quite curious."
Yuan Suijun said: "If you have the chance, we can go together and draw it again."
The Qiang envoy clenched his hands into fists - this is definitely a threat! However, the Qiang country suffered heavy losses this time, and this war really cannot continue. Their elites were beaten so many, and many were captured, so what should they take?
Fighting with Daxia? Sadness enveloped him. Seeing the two brothers' inconsolable state, the envoy understood in his heart: This time the Qiang Kingdom was really going to cause a wave of bloodshed.
It's all Prince Jian's fault. How many generals were against taking the initiative to provoke Daxia? Prince Jian suppressed all voices in order to stabilize his position, relying on the fact that he had an emperor brother. Because of his wrong decision, the Qiang people were in this dilemma.
the point.
It's a pity that Prince Jian is dead, and even the corpse is in the hands of the Daxia people. They can't even whip the corpse.
The envoy was so angry that his eyes were bleeding, but he had to sit at the table and listen to the greedy demands of the Daxia people.
…
After several days of negotiations, the contract was initially finalized.
The six cities conquered by Daxia will all be owned by Daxia. The Qiang Kingdom will compensate Daxia with 20,000 war horses, 800,000 taels of silver and 1 million pieces of silk. The two sides will set up a market on the border of Yao City to carry out the competition.
Mutual trade.
The generals of Daxia were taught a lesson by Yuan Suijun this time.
They thought that the peace talks were just about land negotiations, but they didn't expect that they could still ask for compensation.
Yuan Suijun looked at Duan Fang Wenya. They were originally worried that such a gentlemanly person would be embarrassed and let the other party take advantage. Unexpectedly, Yuan Suijun was very tough in this regard and would never let Daxia suffer any loss.
The compensation that is coming now is even more than the money spent on the war. Not only did this war not lose money, but it actually made money. This can be said to be the first time in the world. In the past, when fighting in Daxia, everyone tightened their belts.
Live frugally and frugally.
However, they also knew in their hearts that the reason why the Qiang country gritted its teeth and agreed to these demands was because Daxia had completely frightened them this time. They were afraid of destroying the country, so they made many concessions.
After the contract was drawn up, the Qiang envoy went back in despair.
After the news spread back to the Qiang country, the entire Qiang country fell into an atmosphere of grief and indignation.
Princess Lingchuan was in the palace and didn't know about this. When she heard that the envoy was back, she said to her maid with great expectation: "I don't know when we can go to Daxia."
Her maid also looked yearning.
At this time, the door opened, and Prince Huai came over. His face was dark, and his eyes looked at her with unreserved disgust.
Princess Lingchuan was startled by his expression and said weakly: "Uncle..."
Prince Huai said coldly: "Throw her out of the house, far away."
Princess Lingchuan was startled, "Uncle? Did I do something wrong?"
"Don't you need me to go and get married?" She hurriedly grasped the issue of marriage, she was still valuable.
Prince Huai sneered, "Marriage? Daxia has said that they will not accept you unless you submit to the city. I don't have idle people in my house, so you can live with your brothers."
After saying this, the servants in the palace forcibly took Princess Lingchuan out.
The princess of Lingchuan County who was kicked out was on the verge of tears: When did the standard for getting married become so high that she still has to bring her own city?
