Gao Shaoyi did not negotiate with the people of Dongdi State. On the one hand, he wanted to keep them dry for a while. On the other hand, Gao Shaoyi was also waiting for a warship. To be precise, he was waiting for an old man. The old man was the one who had been with Dongdi State. Li Hongtang who concluded the treaty.
The newcomers in the army may not know the previous situation, but Zhu Jiugong knows very well that Li Hongtang was the special minister for negotiation to come to Dongdi to conclude a treaty with them. Everything was restored.
Everyone in the Daqian Empire knows that Dongdi is an island country. As long as we can blockade them, we will have the initiative. But the problem is that the Daqian Empire is extremely weak. How can we blockade Dongdi? Where is it?
Gao Shaoyi now has the right time, place and people. For Gao Shaoyi, as long as the Dongdi Kingdom does not have its naval power, then the cities on the seaside will be like meat on the chopping board. I can eat it whenever I want. , unless you want to turn the achievements of these decades of development into ashes, otherwise, whatever I say will be what I say.
The people in the Dongdi country's negotiating delegation also knew that it was impossible to reach an agreement as soon as possible. They knew what they had done before, bullying the people of the Daqian Empire like Sun Tzu. Now the tide has turned. Do you want others to do it? Smiling at you, I'm afraid there is nothing like that in the world.
"What did you say? Let us pay 18 million silver coins in advance?"
As the frontline commander, Wu Chuan took the lead in meeting these people and brought Gao Shaoyi's message. We don't have the time to ask you to pay how much money you have in a day, so we will ask you to pay the military expenses first. You know These days, every time a cannon goes off, gold is worth a thousand taels.
Although our fleet does not cost much, and Gao Shaoyi redeemed it all from the system, but according to the actual expenditure, after this period of fighting, 18 million silver coins should be a relatively reliable number. When we get it After receiving this amount of money, we will continue to negotiate with you.
When Prince Akutagawa heard this, he almost fainted on the spot. He asked us to compensate 18 million silver coins before we even did anything. How can this be done? The above has already conveyed the meaning. Come, the compensation is only five million silver coins at most, but judging from the thinking of the Zhenlu Army, this eighteen million silver coins is just the beginning, not all war compensation.
"You shouldn't be deaf in that ear. You're not very old. Do you have to repeat what I said? It would be meaningless. To tell you the truth, our battle plan is already It’s been worked out. If you can’t see the money, our fleet will have loaded the artillery shells before six o’clock this afternoon. Their target is the most developed Tibetan Prefecture near you..."
Wu Chuan took out a battle plan without any scruples. It was clearly marked on it. Da Zangfu is not an ordinary place. It is the second most developed city nearby, second only to Hengfu occupied by Gao Shaoyi and the others. If If the warship went over and bombarded them randomly, the loss would be more than just 18 million silver coins.
"In addition, we have prepared more than 3,000 army troops. We will not let this city go by then. Do you know how many valuable things we have plundered in Hengfu Port? Either we can spend the money honestly Send it here, or we will have to get it ourselves, and your losses will be even greater by then."
Wu Chuan said with a smile. It was the first time that he had handed over his battle plan to others, and he was able to see such expressions on other people's faces. It felt so good in his heart. I really don't know how our Duke remembered it.
Yes, actually used this method to put pressure on them.
Dazangfu…
Dongdi is the third largest economic center and the headquarters of several consortiums. With a population of more than one million, it can be considered a big city in Dongdi. There are many factories and shops in it.
If we simply talk about its economic status, it is even better than Hengfu Port. You must know that the reason why Hengfu Port ranks first is that the stationing of warships plays a very important role. If it is really the same as the one in front of you,
It was the same as what the officers of the Suppression Army said. In the past, they not only carried out sabotage, but also went ashore to rob, so eighteen million silver coins was indeed a small number.
"This is naked robbery. We will disclose your evil deeds to the international community and let everyone condemn you."
Prince Akutagawa drank the northwest wind with his mouth open for a long time. He didn't think of how to deal with it for a long time. Who knew that he said this at the last moment, and the soldiers of the suppressing army around him laughed. Once upon a time, we could only
It could be relying on the condemnation of the international community, but is that useful? We have suffered enough losses from this, and I didn't expect that it is your turn now. This feels so good.
"Did you see that ship over there? That's the press corps from Western countries. They can take pictures as they like. They can denounce us internationally, but is it useful to us? We don't need to import their weapons, and we don't.
If you need to have any technical dealings with them, you should condemn them immediately."
Wu Chuan's words made everyone laugh even harder. He was right. The source of the weapons of our suppressing army is a secret. Let alone you outsiders who can't figure it out, we ourselves don't know what's going on.
Western countries shouldn't have much to do with it, otherwise our father-in-law wouldn't be so ruthless in doing things.
As for technical exchanges, there is indeed some need, such as the establishment of industrial zones, but we have nothing to be afraid of. After all, we are buying with real money. Will Westerners close this trade channel out of sympathy for you?
You must know that this kind of transaction is calculated at one million silver coins. With the Westerners' profit-seeking attitude, can they give up this profit?
"you……"
Prince Akutagawa still wanted to speak, but the Interior Minister next to him tugged on this guy's clothes and signaled him to stop talking. If he continued to talk, not only would he not be able to change the situation here, he would probably make it worse.
The situation has worsened.
And what this guy just said makes sense, how much is the entire Hengfu Port worth?
According to the top-secret records of the top management of Dongdi Kingdom, the total value of all the facilities and materials in the warehouses exceeds 90 million silver coins. This is only the official wealth. The private wealth of the entire city exceeds this ten times...
