The flags are rolling and the iron hooves are clanking.
These dozens of mounted Tang troops were like sharp knives, fiercely inserted into the middle line of the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. Wherever the iron hoofs stepped on, the swords flew horizontally, and the light of the swords was like that of horses, slashing hard at the two fighting armies.
A fierce battle was going on between Soga's soldiers and the Eni people. Suddenly, they were rushed in by the Tang army. They were caught off guard and a lot of people were killed and wounded. They were helpless as they watched the Tang army's cavalry wreak havoc.
Everyone knew that the Tang army was here to mediate, but why did they rush and kill like this?
The captain of the Tang Army rushed forward, slashing left and right with the horizontal sword in his hand, and shouted: "When the Tang Army arrives, stop fighting immediately! If you dare to disobey the order, you will be killed without mercy!"
Ji Shiju gasped and stood up with his sword put away. Looking at the Tang Jun who was showing off his power and showing off his power, he knew that this was a wink and a warning to him. The charge before the mediation by the Ezo people this time made the Tang Jun very dissatisfied, which made the Tang Jun feel
My own majesty is damaged, so I have to use such a strong way to show my existence.
However, this cannot be blamed on Tang Jun. With the strong character of Fang Junhou, his prestige will never be challenged...
Ji Shiju raised the horizontal sword in his hand and shouted: "Retract troops! Back off!"
The Ezo people immediately withdrew from the battlefield under his order and slowly retreated.
When he came, he was full of hatred and hatred, but now he is full of blood and fighting spirit!
More than a thousand Eni people caused at least twice the battle damage of the Japanese. This kind of combat power was enough to be proud of, and it was also enough to make the Japanese dare not easily provoke and start a war in the future.
The Japanese are now as afraid of the Tang people as tigers. They have witnessed with their own eyes how the Tang army defeated the allied forces of the feudal states and completely wiped out the entire army. How can they dare to be dissatisfied at all?
Seeing Tang Jun Hengdao immediately intervened to mediate, and quickly retreated.
Suga Mingta urged his war horses to come forward, suppressing his anger and shouted: "Even if you are mediating, why are you killing the Japanese?"
The leading Tang military lieutenant was in full armor, with an iron helmet on his head, and a bright red necklace fluttering in the wind. His entire face was hidden under his visor, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was extremely cold: "Hou
I have an order. Since the Tang Dynasty has come forward to mediate, you and the two sides should immediately cease the war. Whoever dares to provoke a war without authorization shall die! Anyone who disobeys the military order of the Marquis will be killed without mercy!"
Minta Soga said angrily: "The Ezo people blatantly disobeyed your Tang army's orders and attacked Asukakyo without permission. Is it possible that I still have to sit back and wait for death, unable to fight back?"
The Tang military captain was as cold as ever: "The Eni people attacked without permission. That is the Eni people's business. The Lord Marquis will punish them afterwards. Since the Japanese started the war, they also disobeyed the Lord Marquis's military orders and will be punished in the same way!"
Minta Soga was furious: "If we don't start a war, the Ezo people may have invaded Asukakyo by now, and I will be cut into pieces by the Ezo people. Is it useful to punish the Ezo people at that time?"
The Tang military captain dismissed his anger: "Whether you die or not, whether the Ezo people will invade Asukakyo, these have nothing to do with me. I am a soldier, and I only know how to abide by military orders. The military order of the Marquis is that the two sides are not allowed to fight.
No war is allowed under any circumstances! You should be lucky that you are not a soldier of our Tang army, otherwise you would have been killed for disobeying military orders!"
"..."
Minta Soga was so angry that she almost fell off the horse.
He felt that even if he was usually unreasonable, how could he have expected that people from the Tang Dynasty were even more unreasonable than he was!
Oh, if you hold a knife to your neck and resist, you are disobeying the military order. If you hold your neck and kill someone, you are a good person?
He was very angry, but he also knew that arguing with this captain was the stupidest thing to do. The soldiers and generals of the Tang Army were all one-minded. They would not move forward even if the military orders were issued, even if the front was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. They were so stupid that he immediately blushed.
Without saying a word, Hong turned the horse's head and rode away.
I can't talk to you, I'll talk to your Lord Marquis to reason with you!
The captain sneered, "The person who killed you, you still have to hold back your anger, don't you accept it?"
If you don't accept it, just wait for the Marquis to rip you off hard. Why don't you be honest...
*****
Namba Tsu, Chunfan Tower.
Negotiations between Fang Jun and Sumo Lishi are ongoing.
As the party that asked the Tang people to mediate, the Japanese state was out of weakness. Sumo knew this very well. Moreover, in order to keep the Tang Dynasty, he was mentally prepared to pay a lot of benefits.
But as soon as the negotiations began, they reached a deadlock...
"Cede Sado Island? Cede Namba Tsu? No, no, no, absolutely not!"
Sumarori was so angry that his beard stood up, and said angrily: "Sado is one of the eight islands of the Japanese country. It is the land given to the Japanese by Amaterasu. How can it be ceded to others? Even if I agree, millions of Japanese will definitely do it.
If you refuse to agree, there is no room for negotiation on this matter and it is absolutely unacceptable."
Fang Jun was not in a hurry and said calmly: "But the reason why Sado Island is now in the hands of the Tang Army is because your country tortured and killed the Tang people there. You can't just say that Sado is one of the eight Japanese islands and let the Tang Army fall into disgrace."
Liu Liu, please withdraw your troops from Sado? Even if I am willing, can my subordinates be willing? Can His Majesty the Emperor in Chang'an City be willing?"
This is simply being a rogue!
Now that Sado Island has fallen and is under your control, why should the lion open its mouth?
Sumarishi was furious: "No matter what, Sado cannot be ceded, and Nambazu cannot be ceded!"
Sado is a matter of sovereignty, but Namba is a security issue. Once Namba becomes the territory of the Tang people, they can drive directly to Asukakyo anytime and anywhere. Is it possible that Japan wants to move its capital? It was previously agreed that Namba would be a trading port, and the Tang would only station troops.
Two thousand, and besides, the military expenses of the two thousand Tang army have to be borne by the Japanese country. This is already too much, and now they are saying that they want to cede...
It simply makes no sense.
"Then tell me how to deal with the torture and murder of the Tang people on Sado Island?"
"The worst case scenario is to pay a sum of money to the family of the deceased."
"You misunderstood. This is not just a matter of compensating the family members, but also a matter of the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. Do you think that if this example is opened, any country that kills Tang people in the future can use money to solve the problem. The majesty of the Tang Dynasty
Where is it? Where is the dignity of the Tang people?"
"..."
Sumo Lishi felt that the Marquis was simply unreasonable. How many people had been killed and an island had to be ceded?
There is no such reason in the world...
"No matter what, cession is absolutely impossible. Even if the mediation ends this time and the Japanese fight to the last soldier, they can never sell the land given by their ancestors and gods!"
Souma gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
"You are making it difficult for me..."
Fang Jun sighed and scratched his eyebrows, and said, "Otherwise, how about renting?"
"Lease?"
This was the first time Sumamaris heard that this term could be used in the land, so he asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Fang Jun explained: "Look, your country made a mistake in this matter, right?"
Sumarishi's eyes rolled and he could only nod his head. He couldn't admit it. He was caught in the act and there was no way to deny it...
Fang Jun said: "So, your country should give Datang an explanation, and this explanation should be of sufficient weight and be able to meet Datang's status and influence. Is that okay?"
Suama thought about the situation and nodded.
People in the Tang Dynasty are not easy to bully, and now that they are knocking on their door, they can only hold their noses and give in...
Fang Jun stroked his palms and said with a smile: "We have reached a consensus. Now that the foundation has been set, everything is easy to talk about. Let's cede Sado Island. Seniors think it is not possible. That is the land given to you by the God of Rizhao..."
"Amaterasu!" Sumamarisi corrected with a glare. This matter concerns gods and cannot be blasphemed.
"Yes, yes, I am not sure about the status of this great god... But this is not the point. The point is that you are unwilling to cede Sado Island, but other compensations are considered by Datang to be incompatible with status and cannot be shown.
In view of the sincerity of your country, why not lease Sado Island to Datang, and Datang will pay some symbolic rent. In this way, Sado Island still belongs to your country, but in fact it is Datang who has stationed troops there. Isn’t that right?
The best of both worlds, killing two birds with one stone?”
Sumama thought about it and thought it was a good idea...
Anyway, now that the Tang army has occupied Sado Island, it is harder for them to withdraw than to snatch meat buns from a dog's mouth. Since Sado still belongs to the Japanese country, it is okay to let the Tang army rent it for a few years. Anyway, Sado Island has limited food production.
, several silver mines are also suffering from mining difficulties, and the key is that silver is not valuable.
"How many years will Datang rent it? How much will the rent be?"
"Senior, what do you think...a thousand years?"
"boom!"
Suwamo accidentally hung the tea cup on the table and smashed it to pieces. He looked up at Fang Jun in shock: "You, you, you...how many years did you say?"
Fang Jun himself felt that it was a bit excessive, and said with a smile: "A thousand years is too long, let's seize the day... How about five hundred years like this?"
