The main event is coming, and both Zhu Biaohandu and Faraij are working hard. Because the problem that both sides are about to face next is gold!
At this time, whoever speaks first will lose the initiative and be at a disadvantage.
The air in the cabin gradually solidified, and Shi Si's head seemed to be under unparalleled pressure, constantly hanging down under the wooden board. Just when Shi Si's head was about to touch the table, Faraij still couldn't calm down.
She spoke, "I can only apologize for the compensation requested by Ming Dynasty. Six hundred thousand pounds of gold is the highest price I can offer. Of course, if Ming Dynasty is still not satisfied, as long as Ming Dynasty agrees to use slaves as a deduction, I will
The princess can still be added."
Han Du smiled when he heard this, waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about the deduction first. Let's talk about the amount first."
His eyes narrowed slightly and then opened. Han Du looked at Faraij with a stern face and said: "To be honest, I am not satisfied with the 600,000 pounds you proposed."
Han Du's words made Faraij look ugly for a while, and Faraaji couldn't help but interjected: "How much does Ming want? Like the two million pounds you proposed? Tell the truth to the noble Marquis, in the Mamluk dynasty's treasure house
It is true that there is a batch of gold, but this batch of gold is far less than two million pounds. Moreover, it is used to pay administrative expenses and stabilize the dynasty, and it cannot be given to you."
As soon as Faraij finished speaking, Han Du and Zhu Biao looked at each other without trace. From this woman's mouth, both of them understood that the gold in the Mamluk dynasty's treasury was really more than 600,000 pounds, even if
There is not two million pounds, but there must be more than one million pounds of gold. This woman has no experience in negotiation at all. She has no idea that just one sentence can reveal her trump card and expose it to her opponent.
Got rich.
After seeing his opponent's trump card during the negotiation, Han Du had never been so excited before. He was gearing up, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Six hundred thousand pounds? Are you sending a beggar away! If it's just
Just for 600,000 pounds, why should I go to all the trouble to fight for you and hand you over directly to your brother? I wonder if he is willing to pay 600,000 pounds in exchange for your sister?
"
Faraiji sneered, "Then you are wrong, Mr. Marquis. He will only send troops to attack you and wipe you out together with me. You see, this war is impossible to avoid. Even if it is for himself, Mr. Marquis,
I have to fight.”
Han Du chuckled and looked at Faraij with amusement, "Are you thinking too much? I just want to go to the sea
Once we retreat, who can stop us? Do you think Belgorge can chase us to the sea?"
Faraij was silent after hearing this. The Mamluk dynasty was dominated by cavalry and did not pay enough attention to warships. If the Ming people retreated directly to the sea, then Belgog would really have nothing to do with them.
"So," Han Du had no patience to argue with Faraji, "we are fighting this battle entirely for you. If you are unwilling to show true sincerity, then I can only say sorry. Maybe,
When Belgorge comes here, it would be a good idea to hand you over to him, what do you think?"
Faraij's face suddenly turned cold, and her shoulders couldn't help shaking. She knew very well that if she fell into the hands of Belgorge, she would never have a chance to live again. At that time, Belgorge would only have to say, the real
Faraij is still in exile, she is just a fake, and he can cut off her head with one knife.
Faraij's eyes were red, with a look of fear, and he sighed: "Okay, I am willing to pay 800,000 pounds to ask the benevolent Ming Dynasty to send troops to help. Your great highness, you also know that two million pounds of gold is simply
It’s more than a mountain, and the Mamluk dynasty didn’t have that much gold.”
An increase of 200,000 pounds suddenly made Zhu Biao feel very excited. This was simply too exciting, more exciting than anything he had ever seen before. Since Zhu Biao became the crown prince, he has spent so many years on the Eastern Palace.
There is not even 100,000 pounds of gold. In other words, the small mouth of Faraji just now is equivalent to more than twice the cost of the entire East Palace for many years. If Zhu Biao had so much money all of a sudden, he would not
Know where to spend your money.
However, 800,000 pounds was still far from Zhu Biao and Han Du's expectations, so Zhu Biao showed a disdain for Faraji's price.
Han Du's face suddenly darkened and he sneered: "Eight hundred thousand pounds, do you believe that I sent troops to defeat Beierguge, and the gold I took out from his treasure house was more than 800,000 pounds? If you are only willing to pay this much
One point, then who am I, Daming? I work for you for free, and why should I give you some money?"
"If this is your sincerity, then let's not talk about 800,000 pounds. After my army defeats Belgoge and empties his treasure house, you can take
Pay 600,000 pounds to buy the throne of the Mamluk sultan."
After finishing speaking, Han Du gave Zhu Biao and Tang Ding a look, indicating that they should pay attention to the change in Faraji's expression.
Sure enough, when Han Du saw the reluctance on Faraji's face, he suddenly felt reassured.
Faraji was full of anger. After all, the throne of the Mamluk sultan was extremely sacred and supreme to her, but in Handu's mouth, it was just open and closed business. But now the situation was stronger than the people, and Faraji was angry again.
He had to hold back his anger and continue negotiating with Han Du.
She didn't dare to turn around and leave directly, otherwise she would never be able to turn around again. ??
Han Du saw that Faraij dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. He smiled lowly, knowing that it pinched her weakness. He chuckled and said: "You'd better think clearly and don't be reluctant to part with gold. Ming Dynasty has
As the saying goes, if you don't want to give up your children, you won't catch the wolf. If you don't want to give up anything, how can you possibly ascend to the throne in the end? You know, those things you are unwilling to give up now are still Beige's and do not belong to you.
"
"Using Belgouge's wealth to help you ascend to the throne, you not only gain the throne, but you also lose nothing."
Although Faraij felt sorry for the gold, as Handu said, if she could not return to the country, the gold would have nothing to do with her.
Finally, after many negotiations between you and me, Faraij agreed to Han Du's conditions. She was willing to pay 1.3 million pounds of gold to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help her regain the throne, and she could only use the gold to
Paid in batches. The first batch of 800,000 pounds needs to be paid immediately after Daming helps her ascend the throne. The remaining 500,000 pounds will be paid to Daming in ten years with an interest of 10% per year and compound interest.
After the conditions for the Ming Dynasty to send troops were agreed upon, Han Du smiled and took out a beautifully framed document. He smiled and said: "Your Excellency Faraiji"
After Faraij reached the negotiation, she was greatly relieved. From a high-ranking princess to the lowest slave, she no longer wanted to recall what she had experienced in the past few years. Therefore, after reaching an agreement with Daming,
, she seemed to see the throne of the Mamluk Sultan waving to her.
Just when she was obsessed with the illusory royal power, she suddenly heard Han Du's words, which made her frown and said in a straight tone: "Your noble Marquis, please call me Your Highness the Princess."
I said you were fat and you still breathed? What kind of bullshit princess? She was just a penniless slave girl. Although she was complaining in her heart, Han Du had a smile on his face.
He bowed slightly, gave Faraij enough face, and said: "Your Highness, the distinguished Princess, if Your Highness wants the Ming Dynasty to protect the Mamluk Dynasty, then you must become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."
"What is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?" Faraji was quite curious when he heard this statement for the first time.
"Become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in peacetime. The Ming Dynasty will help the vassal state at critical times. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has hundreds of vassal states. As long as His Highness signs this letter of credence, other vassal states will not have conflicts with the Mamluk Dynasty in the future.
Paradoxically, I am even obliged to help His Highness."
After hearing this, Faraiji signed the credentials without hesitation, and even felt a little regretful in her heart. She should not have agreed to Ming's conditions if she had known better. If she had signed the credentials of the vassal state in advance, then maybe she would not have
The Ming Dynasty needed to send troops, and the help of other vassal states alone was enough to put down the rebellion.
But Faraiji would not have thought that things were certainly not as simple as she thought. Recognizing the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state and becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty would indeed bring such convenience. Even if necessary, the Ming Dynasty could directly send troops to help her suppress the domestic rebellion.
But both the Ming Dynasty and the current vassal states were thousands of miles away from the Mamluk dynasty. Therefore, in fact, she could not get any help by signing the letter of credence.
After signing the certificate of credence, Faraiji played a trick and asked: "Now that this princess has signed the certificate of credence, is it considered a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty? Then this time the Ming Dynasty helps this princess to regain the throne, isn't it reasonable?
As it should be?"
You want to burn bridges across the river and get nothing, but how can anything be so cheap in the world? Han Du sneered in his heart and looked at Falaij and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess misunderstood, Your Highness just signed the letter of credence, but can it become a
The Ming Dynasty is a vassal state, and it still needs to be canonized by His Majesty the Emperor."
The implication is that it is impossible to get rid of gold and land slaves.
Faraij naturally understood what Han Du meant, and the reason why she asked that was just in case. Now that she knew it was impossible, she no longer had hope.
"Okay, I hope Daming can keep his promise." Faraji stood up and said with hope.
