Ding Tu, who was on the warship, received the news immediately. Ding Tu was very opposed to this amnesty order. How could this be done? When we occupy an area, although it is not said to be revenge, there must be a certain degree of intention.
The public trial is a symbol. You have killed our people. Can you just say a few words to get over it?
"How many Han people are there in the city?"
Ding Tu frowned and said, "I knew there were many people living here before. After all, this is our land. It was later occupied by the Rakshasa Empire. There are many people who are not difficult to evacuate. Although it is very dangerous here,
However, it is still possible to make money through bilateral trade. In order to support their families, these people can only live with their heads above their heads.
Some people like Cai Yong have mixed up and have a high social status in the local area, but the vast majority of people are responsible for the lowest level of work in the local area, and their lives are not guaranteed. The local Rakshasa people are always ready to
Taking advantage of them, there used to be 50,000 to 60,000 people in the area, but now there are only over 20,000 left, most of them working as slaves in the homes of wealthy people in the Rakshasa Empire.
"This is not a small number. If they go crazy, I'm afraid the safety of these people will not be guaranteed. But if we don't hold a public trial, we can't make the decision. This is the charter set by the above. Immediately give it to the Navy Commander
The ministry sent a telegram asking them to ask the prince for instructions."
Although Ding Tu was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he couldn't make the final decision on this matter. He could only ask for instructions level by level. Anyway, he now has control of the overall situation. The lives of tens of thousands of people cannot be played around with.
The naval headquarters quickly received the telegram, but they did not dare to make the decision without authorization. They could only ask Gao Shaoyi in the capital for instructions immediately to see what Gao Shaoyi meant, so that they could make a decision early.
At this moment, Gao Shaoyi had just participated in the imperial ceremony. He was wearing a brand new python suit. He was indeed more imposing than before, especially the Dongzhu on the court belt. Gao Shaoyi played with it very smoothly.
"Something happened, Your Majesty."
Luo Yuzhang temporarily served as Gao Shaoyi's military staff. When Gao Shaoyi just got out of the car, Luo Yuzhang came over with a telegram from the Navy Club. It was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people. No one dared to make this decision arbitrarily, so he could only let Gao Shaoyi
Come for instructions.
What about the Rakshasa Empire?
"Aren't you in contact with people from the Rakshasa Empire these past two days? Have they discussed anything with you?"
Gao Shaoyi suddenly thought of another thing, that is, before what Li Kun was doing, the people from the Rakshasa Empire wanted to negotiate with Gao Shaoyi, but Gao Shaoyi felt that he didn't have enough chips now, even with the people from the Rakshasa Empire.
We won't get too many benefits from the negotiation, so we should win over these ports first.
"We have been in contact twice, but based on what I know about them, these people don't have much sincerity. They just want to use the current actual occupation line as the boundary between the two sides. Both sides will retreat on this line and then sign an armistice.
As for the other details of the agreement, we will put them on hold for the time being and compensate us for five million in military expenses."
Although no formal agreement has been signed yet, Li Kunyi also has many capable people. With the efforts of various people, they finally know the bottom line of the Rakshasa Empire. After hearing this proposal, Gao Shaoyi snorted coldly,
Obviously, there is no sincerity in this. If you want to end this war with five million silver coins, you must be looking at us too cheaply.
As Gao Shaoyi walked inside, he read the very detailed description in the telegram, including the attitudes of various people in the city.
"It is not possible to give up the public trial meeting. If we give up this now, it means that we have given up our principles. From the day it was formed, the Suppression Army has been a very principled army. Our compatriots have been subjected to them.
If we give up revenge because of the temporary victory, the Suppression Army will lose many stars, but at the same time we cannot ignore the safety of more than 20,000 people in the city..."
When Gao Shaoyi said the previous words, Luo Yuzhang even thought about drafting a telegram immediately. According to what our prince meant, he probably didn't have the time to send troops to attack them directly. But when Gao Shaoyi said the next words, Luo Yuzhang
I'm a little confused, you can't have your cake and eat it too, children understand this truth, doesn't the prince understand it?
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Luo Yuzhang said with a grimace, this telegram is of the highest level. The naval headquarters is still waiting, including the fleet and marines on the front line. Now they are ready, waiting for Gao Shaoyi's order.
"Tell Ding Tu that the matter of the public trial cannot be given up, but at the same time the lives of the people in the city must be saved. As for what to do, just treat it as a problem that the king has given him. If he can't do it well, I will withdraw him.
ed."
Gao Shaoyi couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, but since Ding Tu is so smart and claims to be the brains of the navy, let me let you come up with a way to solve this problem.
There are so many things. If I had to make the decision on all things, I’m afraid my own brain cells would have died long ago. What’s the use of you guys?
Luo Yuzhang nodded with a grimace. Doesn't this mean he didn't say anything?
Although the front line is given greater control, the demoted officers on the front line don't know what to do!
More than twenty minutes later, Ding Tu received the telegram forwarded from the Navy Club. Looking at these words on the telegram, Ding Tu's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
On the surface, His Highness the Crown Prince has delegated power, but in fact, he has kicked the ball to himself. If we want to save the lives of more than 20,000 people in the city, we cannot attack by force. If we attack by force, what will happen to the more than 20,000 people in the city?
Seven or eight thousand people would have to die. By then the news would have spread back to the country, and the prince's prestige would also be affected, not to mention that he would not be able to live without food.
But if we just waste it like this, it will not be a good thing for the safety of those in the city. The people of the Rakshasa Empire in the city are in a state of high tension. They are extremely hostile to us, but they have no way to treat us.
The troops have caused harm, so they are likely to change their targets and attack our people. As time goes by, these people will become more and more dangerous...
