The reason why Yasef wanted to join the Fengjun was his own idea. As the second son, he was not as valued by his parents as the eldest son, nor was he loved by his parents like the third son. He was stuck in the middle, with his grandma not kissing him and his uncle not liking him.
Dear, Tia's throne basically has nothing to do with him, and he is a prince, so he is in an awkward position if he wants to serve in Tia's army. This time, Tang Yin happened to be visiting Tia, and he took the opportunity to propose joining the Feng Army. In his opinion,
, he is more developed in the Feng Army than in the Ti Ya Army, and can better display his talents without any worries.
Tang Yin didn't think too much about it. He just felt that with Yasef as a hostage in his hands, Tia would be more obedient in the future. The person who was most opposed to this matter was naturally King Jellal of Tia, but after all, it was Yasif who took the initiative.
Yes, and Tang Yin had already accepted it, so even if he wanted to object, he couldn't speak out.
After the matter came to an end, Tang Yincai and Gerald discussed the government affairs between the two countries.
Jellal first expressed the hope that the Feng State could set up a permanent garrison in Tia like the Ning State in the past. Tang Yin was a little hesitant about this. It was not because the Feng State did not have enough troops, but because it was about to go to war with the Mo State and divided its troops to garrison Tia.
Afraid of affecting one's own combat effectiveness.
However, as the vassal country under the sect leader's protection, it was also his responsibility and he could not refuse. Tang Yin thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He thought that the Sky Eagle Army was stationed in Ningdi, and some of its troops could be assigned to garrison in Tia. With Tang Yin's approval,
Jellal was very happy, and his eyes finally showed a smile.
The country of Tia has a small population. No matter how advanced its technology is, its national and military power are too weak. Even a weak country like Duji can defeat Tia without the power to fight back. If there was no protection from the Ning army in the past, Tia would not know
It has been destroyed many times. Now that the Ning Kingdom no longer exists, Tia can only choose the Feng Kingdom as its backer. Although it is called a vassal state, it will not fall to the end of destruction.
After Jellal made his request, Tang Yin immediately began to talk about the issue of military expenditures and loss compensation for the Feng Army to assist Tia. Tang Yin had discussed this matter with Liang Qi in advance, and the relationship between the Sanshui Army and the Duji Army in Tia was
During the battle, the total number of dead soldiers plus injured generals was close to 50,000. Liang Qi believed that the military expenditure of two million taels plus loss compensation was acceptable. In addition, the Feng Army captured a lot of trophies, most of which belonged to Tia.
Property, these things have been seized by the Sanshui Army and have not been returned to Tia.
Tang Yin felt that the amount proposed by Liang Qi was too small, so he added a zero after two million taels. The lion opened his mouth and directly asked for 20 million taels.
Jellal and the Tia ministers did not expect that Tang Yin would ask for so much silver. There were no silver ingots in Tia, only silver coins. According to the calculation of one silver coin and half a tael, 20 million taels of silver would require 40 million silver coins. Even if
Tia's treasury is very rich and cannot afford so much money at one time.
"His Royal Highness the Wind King, isn't twenty million taels... too overwhelming?!" Jellal said bravely.
Tang Yin's face straightened and he said: "King Hardesti, do you think I am asking for a price? The Sanshui Army is our most elite army in Dafeng. In order to protect Tia's safety, I will not hesitate to send our country's strongest army here.
Tia fought a desperate battle with the Duji army. After a bloody battle, they suffered heavy casualties and suffered more than half of their losses. The losses could not be compensated by more than 20 million taels of silver. The king only wanted 20 million taels because he was thinking of the friendship between the two countries. If Hades
It would be very disappointing if King Di continues to bargain with me."
If he said this to the principalities in the Haotian Empire, they would definitely sneer at them. No matter Sichuan, Zhen, Mo, An, Zhen, Yu and other countries, their populations are huge, and human life is the least valuable, and Tia
Otherwise, Tia is a small country with a small population and has always valued human life. The Sanshui Army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties in this battle. As far as Tia is concerned, this is an astronomical figure.
After listening to Tang Yin's words, Jellal's face was full of embarrassment and he said repeatedly: "No, no, no! Your Highness, Feng Wang, I didn't mean that, it's just...it's just that twenty million taels is too much, and Tia can't even take it for a while.
If you don’t pay so much money…”
"Can you pay in installments?" Seeing that the other party was not trying to bargain, Tang Yin's expression softened.
"Ah?" Jellal didn't understand what his phased branch meant.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Twenty million taels can always be paid off within five years."
Twenty million taels would be repaid in five years, which would average out to four million taels per year. Jellal thought for a moment and felt that this was still acceptable and Tia could afford it. He nodded and said, "Okay!
Regarding this matter... I can promise His Highness the Wind King that within five years, Tia will repay your country four million taels of silver every year."
Yo! Jellal actually accepted it. It seems that Tia still has a lot to exploit! Tang Yin secretly smiled in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change. It seemed that this was a matter of course.
He said quietly: "You and I will be allies from now on. If Tia is in trouble, we, the Feng Kingdom, will definitely help. Of course, I hope that your country will not be too stingy towards me, Dafeng." "Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness, King Feng.
What you say is absolutely true!" This is the reason why a weak country has no diplomacy. Compared with Feng Country, Tia's area and population are not even comparable to a county of Feng Country. In front of Feng Country, Tia has no matter how advanced it is.
The strength of science and technology and civilization are also very different. There is no fairness in the negotiations between the two parties.
Next, Tang Yin and Gerard talked about some cooperation matters between the two countries.
It is said that it is cooperation, but it is actually a discussion about how Feng Country can introduce Tia's civilization, technology, and related talents on a large scale. Although the current discussion is about how Feng Country absorbs the essence of Tia, Feng Country is not interested in Tia.
No impact at all.
Tia is a very interesting country. Its civilization is highly developed and all fields are very advanced. Take timing as an example. Its timing units can be accurate to one-tenth of a second or even one hundredth of a second. However, Tia is not
There is no chronology, and there is no clear written record of all historical events. They are only compiled into poems and sung by wandering poets. As for whether the various poems circulated among the people are true or false, it has long been impossible to verify. This is tantamount to raising the question.
Asia has no history. It was not until Tia became a tributary of the Feng Kingdom that the calendar of the Feng Kingdom was gradually used as the standard. The year when Tang Yin became king was the first year, which is usually called the first year of the Feng calendar. After that, Tia
They also began to establish the position of historian, imitating the Feng Kingdom, and recording the history of their country. Of course, these are all things for later.
This meeting between the two parties lasted a whole afternoon. After it was over, Tang Yin did not need to go to the Sun Temple to meet the high priest and directly attended the banquet at the royal court.
The banquets in Tia are similar to those in Bessa. They are in the same format and are very casual and free. There are no fixed seats and you can move around at will. However, in Tia, the hierarchy is stricter. The entire banquet hall is divided into several blocks. Lower-level nobles
You cannot go into the area of high-level nobles, it will be considered a very rude behavior. Non-nobles cannot participate in the banquets held by the royal court. No matter how rich or high-status they are, civilians are not allowed to participate in the royal court's gatherings.
Excluded.
Tang Yin had little interest in this kind of banquet that looked like a foreign race, but he could handle it with ease. Shangguan Yuanrang was very involved and had been looking for opportunities to get close to Tia's eldest princess Marika, but Marika's favorite person was not him.
, but Liang Qi, but Liang Qi’s attitude towards Marika was very cold.
At the banquet, Yasef took the initiative to come to Liang Qi and asked him what position he could get in the Sanshui Army.
Liang Qi sincerely dislikes a young soldier of noble birth like Yasef, and doesn't know how to arrange it. If he is sent out to fight, if there is something wrong with him, even the king may not be able to explain it to Tiya, and the three
The naval army cannot have idle people. Once a precedent is set, such things will continue in the future, directly affecting the combat effectiveness of the entire army. When Yasef came to inquire, Liang Qi didn't think about it and did not directly
He replied, but asked him: "What can you do in the army?"
Yasef was very straightforward and said directly without thinking: "Lead the troops to fight!"
Liang Qi smiled, looked at the translator standing next to the two of them, shrugged and said: "Your Highness, you should learn the language of wind first, and then come and talk to me about leading troops in war!" On the battlefield, if the general's orders are all
It would be too funny to have to rely on a translator to tell the story to the soldiers.
Yasef's face flushed red at what he said, but he had no way to refute. Finally he nodded and said like an oath: "Don't worry, General Liang, I will definitely learn the wind language well."
"I'm looking forward to it." Liang Qiwei said nothing more, shook the wine glass in his hand, turned around and walked away.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious, and the nobles of Tia did not feel any hostility or rejection towards Tang Yin. After all, Feng State did not rely on force to conquer Tia and turn Tia into its own vassal state, but laid a good foundation through assistance.
After the banquet was over, Jellal arranged for Tang Yin and his party to stay in the palace, and Tang Yin did not refuse.
There was nothing to say that night. Early the next morning, Gerald came to Tang Yin in person and invited him to go to the temple to meet the high priest of Tia, Angela Tangbuni.
The Temple of the Sun is already extremely spectacular when viewed from a distance. When you look at the temple up close, it is even more breathtaking and can be called a miracle of mankind. The Temple of the Sun is at least 150 meters up, with a square base and a trapezoid as a whole.
At the top is a huge palace. Looking from the bottom up, you can only see the huge ivory-white pillars of the palace. Tang Yin estimated that even using modern machinery to build a building of this scale would take several years or even more than ten years.
It is hard to imagine that such a great building could be completed in this era.
In front of the Sun Temple, whether it is a noble king or a powerful general, they will only appear extremely small, and a feeling of worship and solemnity will arise spontaneously. This can also be understood why the Tiya people respect the Sun God so much.
Seeing Tang Yin's expression of amazement, Jellal said confidently: "It is said that the Sun Temple was built by the Sun God at the place where the world was created. It is also the only miracle in the world!"
Tang Yin was delighted when he heard this. It was a good thing to have no history. He could make up whatever he wanted. Saying that the Sun Temple was created by the Sun God was equivalent to saying that the Tiya people were people favored by God.
