Just when Fan Zhenlong was about to refuse, he saw Fang Jun shaking his finger and said: "Brother Fan, don't refuse in a hurry. I know that you are unwilling in your heart. What do you think is the difference between this and the Zhenla Kingdom? Let me tell you.
Tell me, the difference is huge!"
Fan Zhenlong held back his anger and said, "I would like to hear the details!"
the difference?
The difference is that Zhenla Kingdom came to rob it with open swords and guns, but you took advantage of people's danger and made people have to come to their door!
You are much more shameless than Zhenla...
Fang Jun used his sharp tongue to tell him the truth.
"Look, if this place becomes the permanent territory of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely start building a seaport again, which can be used for both military and civilian purposes. The money invested will probably not be less than one million yuan. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to combine the country's craftsmen and
Didn't the laborers transported across the ocean rely on the local people? Such huge financial resources will eventually be earned by the people and merchants of Linyi State. How many people will be rich? Furthermore, as long as the Tang Dynasty stationed troops here, it would be far away from your country.
The capital of Linyi is only thirty to fifty miles away, and the army can arrive within an hour. From now on, Linyi Kingdom will no longer have to worry about destruction!"
Fan Zhenlong was tempted...
He did not need to consider whether Datang's garrison here would threaten the security of the capital, because with Datang's invincible military front, he could level the capital of Linyi to the ground anytime and anywhere he wanted.
In front of the Tang Dynasty, Lin Yi's country was never safe...
That is to say, the Tang Dynasty, with its mountains and seas far away, could not station a large number of troops for a long time. Otherwise, what happened to Linyi Kingdom in the history books? Not only Linyi Kingdom, Chenla, Siam and other countries were all scum in front of the Tang army, and they would have perished long ago.
I don’t know how many times!
Fan Zhenlong also understood that the Tang Dynasty did not like the land of Linyi State. It could not hold it if it was occupied. It was just a waste of military expenses. What was the use of it?
In this way, there really seems to be no problem with the garrison.
As for sovereignty…
The country is going to be subjugated, and what kind of sovereignty do you need?
Fan Zhenlong hesitated for a long time and nodded sternly: "This is OK! Does Mr. Hou still have conditions?"
Fang Jun just said that this is only "the first one", so there must be "the second one", and maybe "the third" and "the fourth" are also possible. But what can be done? The country is about to be destroyed, and the army of the Tang Dynasty is the only one.
The savior, everyone is a knife and I am a fish and meat, so I will be slaughtered...
Fang Jun did not hesitate to praise: "Brother Fan is indeed a sensible person. Lin Yiguo has a promising future! Then let's continue discussing..."
"Secondly, since this place is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all merchants doing business here, whether Datang merchants, Linyi merchants or Hu merchants, only need to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty, and have nothing to do with the Linyi State, and the Linyi State is not allowed to interfere
Interference shall not prevent merchants from your country from coming to trade."
Regarding this, Fan Zhenlong agreed simply: "No problem!"
When he thought about it, this place was originally a deserted beach with sparsely populated areas. It was natural for merchants from the Tang Dynasty to come here to trade. Without this port, there would not be so many merchants from the Tang Dynasty. It would not belong to him in the first place.
It would be no pity to give up the benefits.
"readily!"
Fang Jun praised again, and poured wine for Fan Zhenlong himself with a smile on his face: "There is one last small proviso. If merchants from the Tang Dynasty come here to do business, they will inevitably enter your territory and have conflicts with your merchants.
Naturally, frictions and disputes are inevitable. If such things happen, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will not accept the trial of your country. They will all be tried by the Tang Dynasty Yamen permanently located here in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Your country will not interfere..."
Now that we are embarking on great voyages, how can we not colonize?
And if you want to colonize, how can you not engage in "extraterritoriality"?
Fan Zhenlong had just taken a sip of wine into his mouth and was still savoring the sweetness of the grapes from the Western Regions. Hearing this, he spurted out the wine with a sip...
"no!"
Fan Zhenlong's face flushed: "In this case, wouldn't the Han people be superior to others in Linyi? This is absolutely not acceptable! Even if the Tang Dynasty is given the same port, I would never dare to agree to this!"
Just kidding, what does the Fan family rely on to be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Linyi Kingdom for generations to come?
It’s the support of countless Cham people!
If Fang Jun does this, not only will the Tang people run rampant in the Linyi Kingdom, but even the Han people in the country will definitely rise, which will directly affect the status of the Cham people and damage the Cham people's support for the Fan royal family.
That's going to be a big deal!
Fang Jun was surprised that Fan Zhenlong's thinking was so sharp, and he could immediately see through the mystery hidden here. You must know that at this time, there was no concept of "extraterritoriality" in the world, and this man's ability was evident.
But Fang Jun is not worried about Fan Zhenlong's rejection at all...
After pouring himself a drink, Fang Jun smiled and said: "Brother Fan, think twice before you act. I and Brother Fan hit it off as old friends, and I consider you a friend in my heart. I also have a strong sense of identity with Lin Yi Country. After all, it was also a country of the Han people. At that time, Ma
I wonder if the copper pillars bought by General Yuan are still there? If I only care about interests but not affection, then Brother Fan thinks what kind of promise will I get if I send someone to talk to the Zhenla people now?"
Do you really think of yourself as an onion?
If Lin Yiguo hadn't been so old and couldn't bear to eat, why would he be sitting here talking to you?
Today you have to agree even if you agree, and you still have to agree if you don’t agree. I’ll be sure of you!
Fan Zhenlong's face was full of horror, and he stared at Fang Jun who was leisurely drinking a small drink in disbelief. After a long while, he suddenly said in frustration: "Just follow the wishes of the Marquis, and I will do whatever you want..."
Just like what Fang Jun said, if he goes to contact the Zhenla people, what conditions will the Zhenla people promise to Fang Jun?
The promise is obvious, and the Zhenla people will agree to any conditions without hesitation!
As long as the Tang Dynasty sends troops, the Zhenla people will definitely return in defeat. The Zhenla people are not stupid. As long as the Tang Dynasty does not help Lin Yi, they will agree to whatever conditions are required!
As the same saying goes, if you are a slave to others and you are a fish to fish, what can you do?
Fan Zhenlong's mouth was full of bitterness. Could this be considered as driving away the tiger through the front door and welcoming the wolf at the back door?
Fang Jun was overjoyed. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Come here, I'll wait for you with pen and ink. Please ask Prince Fan to sign a memorandum. After the invasion of Chenla is repelled, we will formally sign the treaty. What do you think, Brother Fan?"
Fan Zhenlong twitched the corner of his mouth, "What do you mean, I have a fart!"
Isn’t it just what you say?
He said dejectedly: "Everything is entirely up to the Marquis."
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "Come on, come on, tonight you and I will get drunk together. At dawn tomorrow, the navy will prepare and set off. Let me, the great Tang tiger, fight for our allies!"
Fan Zhenlong's mouth was full of bitterness: "How dare you disobey me?"
"Wow haha... Come on, come on, I will introduce you to the generals in the army!"
*****
The white fish belly shines through in the east, mist surrounds the mountains and forests, the soldiers' leather armor is covered with water drops, and the branches and grass leaves are covered with crystal dew.
The burly elephant stood in the open space outside the forest, its long trunk curled up and down, playing leisurely and contentedly... There was a stable basket made of tree vines installed on the elephant's back, and the soldiers sat on it.
, put the long iron spear next to him, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Rishaman sat on the sliding pole raised by the four people. His gorgeous robes were also wet and uncomfortable, but his mood was uncontrollably boiling...
Three hundred elephant soldiers are enough to sweep away Lin Yi, plus the 7,000 elite Chenla soldiers in the dense forest, I am afraid that even if the army of the Tang Dynasty arrives, they will be able to fight, right? Since the Risha family took charge of Chenla, they have still been able to fight.
There has never been such a strong strength! And he is about to lead these Zhenla warriors to annex the Linyi Kingdom, which will make Zhenla's strength grow by leaps and bounds. Even when facing the lord Funan Kingdom, he will not be inferior!
On the side of the sliding pole, Chen Jingshuo, the defected Linyi State general, was looking at the Sangha Puluo City, which was vaguely visible in the mist in the distance. He said nervously: "Prime Minister, the soldiers have been attacking for hundreds of miles, and there are already people."
If you are sleepy and exhausted, why not sit down for a while and recuperate before launching an attack?"
He thought Rishaman's decision was extremely unwise.
Starting from the border between the two countries, these Zhenla soldiers made an all-out surprise attack, crushing and attacking all the way to the capital of Linyi State. If they did not make repairs, Linyi State's soldiers would just wait for work, and the outcome would be unpredictable.
Rishaman snorted and glanced at Chen Jingshuo disdainfully.
People who betray their ancestors, even if they have real abilities, are still looked down upon wherever they go...
