On one side, the King of Saxony convened an emergency meeting to discuss the conditions proposed by Long Yan and whether their plan was feasible.
On the other side, Li Hongtian traveled around Saxony without any scruples, without caring about the opinions of the King of Saxony.
at the meeting.
The King of Saxony looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Now is the time of life and death for us in Saxony. You should fulfill your responsibility for our great Kingdom of Saxony."
All the court officials remained silent.
Whether it's war or peace, it's not a good idea.
Their Saxon troops had been maimed and crippled by the Dragon Flame Army in the Dresden War, and had no more strength to fight against the Dragon Flame Army.
Not only that, since Dresden was destroyed, Saxony's economic situation has declined very seriously, and they don't have much food in storage.
Now Saxons are running around every day to fill their stomachs, and uprisings have even broken out in some places.
Saxony is already in a state of internal and external troubles.
If you still have to fight to the death against Long Yanguo in such a state.
They can't resist the Long Yan Army at all, and they will definitely be defeated by the Long Yan Army's cavalry.
When the time comes, they, the princes and nobles of Saxony, will be the first to be unlucky.
History has described in great detail what these losers went through after the imperial city was broken by enemy forces. What awaited them was definitely a great purge.
Under this great purge, these people will definitely die.
But if they sue for peace, Long Yan's army will cause a devastating blow to Saxony. If they accept such conditions, wouldn't it be equivalent to selling the country to Long Yan.
This is absolutely an unacceptable fact for most Saxons.
At that time, there will be a lot of abuse in the country, and it may even trigger a war.
At that time, the consequences will be completely unimaginable.
People like them will also become the target of public criticism. They also know full well what kind of punishment the rebels will impose on such traitors.
But for Saxony now, there are only two ways in front of it, either to fight or to make peace. There is no second way to choose.
"Your Majesty, whether you are the leader of war or the leader of peace, it is extremely disadvantageous for us."
The King of Saxony said: "We neither advocate war nor peace, so what do you mean?"
The Prime Minister of Saxony, hesitating slightly, took a step forward and said: "I believe that war is absolutely necessary and we can negotiate for peace, but we absolutely cannot agree to such conditions."
"If Long Yan controls our diplomacy and military power, then we, the princes and ministers, are nothing."
"We can compensate, but at least the military power must not be ceded."
"At least that's it."
Diplomatic power and military power are the foundation of a country. If they are given away, Saxony will become more like a puppet.
This will also make Saxony's resistance less vocal, at least they will not be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The King of Saxony pondered for a moment and looked at the Prime Minister: "What are our bargaining chips? Why did the Longyan people agree to our request?"
"Prime Minister, do you think that given our current situation, it is possible to make the Longyan people give in?"
The Prime Minister fell silent, and all the ministers fell silent.
