Chapter 424 Holding the emperor's seal to rob the people of the country
"It seems that you are the Minister of the Interior. I originally thought that your country is the same as ours, with the prince having the highest status. I didn't expect you to be able to lead a prince. This is different from our country. Your Dongdi country
Since Westernization, has there been no dignity or inferiority anymore?”
Wu Chuan said his words with a smile, making Interior Minister Kaga frown. Although this is just a very simple divorce plan, you have to see who the person next to you is. If he is a very thoughtful person, then Wu Chuan
This statement is of no use at all, but if you are a simple-minded person, then this situation will be difficult to explain.
For example, take Prince Akutagawa next to you!
"Why are you pulling me? Let people laugh at us. We don't even have any dignity. This time the negotiation broke down. We will never pay 18 million silver coins in advance. You are simply wishful thinking. If you want to attack
, then you can just send troops, I will immediately tell the local army to defend to the death, and you will not be able to take advantage."
Prince Akutagawa's words surprised even Wu Chuan. He thought that his divorce plan just now was very simple and no one would fall for it, but he didn't expect that the angry Prince Akutagawa would actually be fooled and would say these words.
Come.
It's just that Wu Chuan couldn't see through the next situation. After Prince Akutagawa finished speaking, he waved his hand very gracefully and prepared to leave with his men. Who knew that these men didn't even move, and all of them were gone.
Standing in place, these people also knew who was in charge now. When the Home Secretary arrived, it was obvious that the Home Secretary was in charge.
If Prince Akutagawa was not the emperor's son, he should have committed seppuku a long time ago. Isn't it your responsibility that the whole war ended like this? Do you think that letting several generals commit seppuku would be a good thing?
"Your Highness, please leave it to me."
The Minister of the Interior gave a big gift, and Prince Akutagawa couldn't bear it. He actually raised his hand and slapped the old man. A man of nearly sixty years old was slapped in public, and he was the emperor's official. This old man
There was no anger at all.
"Your Highness, please go back and take a rest, while I will handle the affairs here."
After the old man finished speaking, several guards came directly from behind, and then surrounded Prince Akutagawa and walked back. No matter what Prince Akutagawa said, these people did not even move. It seemed that the emperor had already been prepared.
He knew that his son was useless, so in order to prevent this guy from doing wrong things, he might as well put him under house arrest first.
"Oh! I really didn't see it. The Minister of the Interior can control the prince. Your country, Dongdi, has really become more and more exciting in the past two years. You can do all kinds of new things. You are awesome, old man."
Wu Chuan stretched out his thumb and made a very exaggerated expression on his face. Unfortunately, this guy's acting skills were not very good. The faces of the followers who followed Dong Di Kingdom were still expressionless, which meant that these people had already
I have received the emperor's order. As long as negotiations are started, everyone must listen to the Minister of the Interior.
As for Prince Akutagawa standing beside you honestly, you may still have your own status, but if you act recklessly, the result just now will come as a result.
"Please, sir, please don't make any random remarks about this. You are also representing the Suppression Army. We will do what you asked for before six o'clock in the afternoon, but after we get the money, please see the Duke of Qin in your country."
"
This old man was different from other people. He had a calmness when he spoke. No matter how provocative Wu Chuan was, this old man would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"That's natural, but there are less than four hours left. How on earth are you going to get the money together?"
When Wu Chuan asked this question, he felt that his brain was not strong enough. How could someone tell us this? Although Dongdi is a small country and its people are weak, tens of millions of silver coins are still considered enough for them.
It doesn't matter, as long as you want to get it together, you can get it at any time.
"I won't bother you, sir. I'll take my leave first."
Interior Minister Kaga bowed slightly, and then retreated with the remaining people.
"Sir, this time we only brought five million silver coins, which is far from the number they requested. What should we do?"
After leaving the sphere of influence of the suppressing army, an old servant next to Jaga said that this was also a close confidant of the old man. Although he had agreed to suppress the army, he still had to ask your Excellency for an idea on how to raise the money.
"Order the men of the First Division and the Second Brigade to hold the emperor's seal and collect all the wealth in all the official and civilian warehouses around them. If there is any delay, they will be killed immediately."
When the old man comes from the capital, of course he will bring his own army, and he will bring with him the Emperor's Guards Division, which is numbered as the First Division. These people only obey the Emperor's orders, and no one else does.
listen.
"Does that mean we'll stop when we raise 18 million?"
The old servant must ask clearly. They all saw it clearly during the conversation just now. Eighteen million may be just the beginning. If the conversation really starts, the other party will not stop so easily, and may become a lion.
If you open your mouth, it will be a disaster for the entire Dongdi Kingdom.
The Daqian Empire collected 200 million silver coins that year, which had a great impact on the production and life of the entire country. Now it is the turn of the Dongdi Kingdom. Although many people in the Dongdi Kingdom had already guessed it, they just did not expect this.
The disaster will come so quickly. In just a few years, there will be no chance for Dongdi to develop.
"We will try to satisfy their ambitions as much as we can. What we want now is to delay time. We must not antagonize them, otherwise our losses will be even greater."
Kaga closed his eyes and felt his heart bleeding. You must know that this country has also devoted their efforts. It has been just over twenty years since they began to learn from the West. They thought they would be able to stand among the world's powerful countries.
Unexpectedly, they were beaten back in one battle.
The people below stopped saying anything and went to convey the order immediately. Time waits for no one. If it passes this six o'clock, I am afraid that the suppressing army will make new demands. At that time, we must listen or not.
Gotta listen.
Along the way, few coastal cities were in peace. The reason why they did not attack large coastal cities may be to put pressure on Dongdi while they were negotiating... This chapter has been completed!
