Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 910911 All deserve to die

It was the afternoon of the next day when the Dahua Empire officially received the note from the Tang Empire. When Jiang Run, the Minister of Rites, saw the request of the Tang Empire, his face immediately became ugly.

"The Tang Empire is really too overbearing! Isn't it normal for them not to get involved in the civil war of our Great China Empire? How can they still find some fallacious excuses and ask for compensation?" He threw the credentials in the On the table, there was no intention of presenting this thing to Zhao Kai.

Just kidding, if Zhao Kai saw this thing, wouldn't he be so angry that it exploded on the spot? For the sake of his own face, Jiang Run felt that he should go have a chat with the ambassador of the Tang Empire by himself first.

But he just stood up, and after a second thought, he sat back down in his seat: He thought of those **** diplomats from the Tang Empire, and he could guess what attitude these **** would use to talk to him.

Since the other party has sent this document, he must be determined to get it. Although the money seems to be a lot, it is reasonable.

If the Great China Empire does not give it, then it is entirely possible that the Datang Empire will send troops to participate in the war, and then it will not be a question of whether to give it or not.

Jiang Run even guessed what kind of conditions that **** Zhao Yu would agree to with the Tang Empire in Fengjiang: Maybe, if the Datang Empire wants Jiange Nanku, this traitor will also agree.

 After all, compared to the entire Dahua Empire, places like Fengjiang and Zhe are just a region.

In order to seize the entire Great China Empire, it is not difficult to cede Fengjiang. As long as he is not stupid, Zhao Yu will definitely know how to choose.

 It’s just that the inheritance left by our ancestors and the hard work of dozens of generations of the Great China Empire have been completely wasted.

"Alas..." Jiang Run sighed, picked up the certificate of credence from the table, and read it carefully.

The first item is about compensation for railway damage between Qin, Hua, Tang and Three Kingdoms. The Tang Empire did not ask for much in this regard, only about 2 million gold coins.

If this is all, the Dahua Empire can swallow this sigh of relief and just give the money to the Tang Empire - spending money to eliminate disasters still makes sense. Jiang Run could even make the decision himself and persuade the Ministry of Revenue to come up with 2 million gold coins to settle the matter.

Unfortunately, this was only the first article. The Tang Empire later proposed "compensation for trade losses." This compensation was quite expensive: the Tang Empire believed that the civil war in the Great China Empire delayed the Tang Dynasty. The trade between Qin and Qin is conservatively estimated to cost more than 50 million gold coins a year.

This figure is a bit unbearable when taken out: a compensation of 52 million gold coins is already quite a lot of trees. You know, when the Great China Empire was defeated, the compensation paid to the Tang Empire on paper was only about this amount.

Everyone knows that Dahua Empire actually loses more, but on paper it really only pays so much. This is Zhao Kai's logic: I can die, but I can't lose my face.

The content in the third article is even more devastating: The Tang Empire requires the restoration of trade between Qin and Tang within one month, which is equivalent to stipulating that the Great China Empire must end this civil war within one month. .

If the time is exceeded, the Dahua Empire will have to compensate the Tang Empire for a huge sum of money. For the Dahua Empire, this is simply a direct robbery.

But Jiang Run knew that if the Great China Empire rejected the request in this letter of credence, Datang Empire's planes, Datang Empire tanks, and countless Datang Empire soldiers would soon appear on the battlefield.

  No matter from which aspect, that kind of situation is something that the Great China Empire does not want to see. Jiang Run's instinct was to avoid such an ending, so he held the credentials for a long time and was unwilling to move.

Soon, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out that the Prime Minister Chu Muzhou walked in with his hands behind his back. He said nothing and sat in front of Jiang Run, waiting for Jiang Run to speak.

"Sir, you...do you know everything?" Finally, Jiang Run spoke. He looked at Chu Muzhou and asked awkwardly.

"I know." Chu Muzhou sighed and said in a long voice: "Before I came, the Tang State had already sent me a copy of the credentials."

"The general will not be a country!" Jiang Run's face turned gloomy, and his voice was full of sorrow: "This Tang State is really bullying others too much."

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, what can we do?" Chu Muzhou shook his head and told a fact that many people were unwilling to admit: "The Tang Empire is booming, and our Dahua Empire has long been exhausted. The war... the country It will surely perish."

"Looking back at those days, His Majesty's persistence turned out to be right... Mr. Jiang, do you think... is it ridiculous?" Chu Muzhou laughed at himself, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his voice was full of exhaustion.

Zhao Kai wanted to send troops to fight for the Zheng State when the Tang Empire attacked the Zheng State for the sake of face. At that time, the Tang Empire did not exist yet, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not take the newly rising Tang State seriously.

On the one hand, the Tang State declared itself a vassal and paid tribute and paid a large sum of money, which calmed Zhao Kai's anger. On the other hand, everyone believed that the Great China Empire was weak and it was not appropriate to use weapons at that time. But who knows, Zhao Kai was right at the time. Mobilizing a million troops at that time and desperately helping Zheng to drive the Tang Dynasty's tiger and wolf army into the sea may be the only chance for the Great China Empire.

　　However, they were all wrong, and the Great China Empire missed its last chance to fight to the death. Later, the Tang State established a firm foothold in Zheng State's homeland, and the trend was established, and no one could stop it.

Now that I think about it, it might have been right if he had followed Emperor Zhao Kai's wishes and sent troops to protect Zheng at all costs.

"Master Chu...what's the use of talking about this now." Jiang Run remembered that he was also on the opposing side at that time, and his face became even more ugly.

They all consider themselves loyal and good ministers. They work diligently on weekdays and never slack off in major matters. But in the end, they just watched the rise of neighboring countries, and then rubbed their dignity on the ground.

"Sigh... Let me discuss the matter of compensation with Mr. Jiang." Chu Muzhou knew that escaping would definitely not work. If he didn't come forward to help at this time, Zhao Kai might be at the peak of his anger. Jiang Run was killed.

Now they are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Only by working together and uniting as one can we finally have hope of saving the empire.

"After convincing His Majesty, you must be prepared for the worst. No matter what, the two million for the railway can be compensated, and part of the fifty million for trade must be cut off... The most important thing is the third one. It is necessary to increase the amount within a limited time. Even if you refuse, you can't give in even if you pay 10 million more. "Chu Muzhou is indeed a prime minister, and he arranged the matter clearly in just a few words.

He could see the sinister intentions of the Tang Empire at a glance: among the three demands, the third one was the most vicious. It was tantamount to forcing the Great China Empire to follow the Tang Empire's timetable during the Fengjiang Civil War. It was obvious that the increase The pressure from the Great China Empire to use troops was reduced.

 So, Chu Muzhou’s countermeasure is very simple: We accept the money, but you can’t go too far!

Sure enough, after the two met Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai was so angry that he turned the table over: he really couldn't bear the power of the Tang Empire.

 Zhao Kai was the one who bullied others in the past. When did it become Tang Mo's turn to take advantage of him? The whole room echoed Zhao Kai's curses. If swear words could kill people, Tang Mo might have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

"He is forcing me! Whether it is Lions I or Dorne I... is there no one in this world who upholds justice? Aren't the emperors in this world worried about the rise of the Tang Empire?" After Zhao Kai cursed for a long time, he reached his position panting and looked at Jiang Runchu Muzhou who lowered his head and said nothing and asked.

“Water from afar cannot quench our thirst, Your Majesty.” Chu Muzhou persuaded him—he actually knew another piece of news that he didn’t tell.

Just now, before he came to Jiang Run, the spies arranged in the Binghan Empire and Yangmu Empire came to report that someone in Fengjiang spent a lot of money to recruit mercenaries from these two countries.

This is equivalent to saying that Fengjiang has solved the problem of soldiers. If the war continues to consume, the Dahua Empire may not be able to withstand the consumption better than Fengjiang.

Because Chu Muzhou knew that Fengjiang was backed by the Tang Empire. As long as the Tang Empire was willing to pay, Fengjiang would definitely have an endless supply of soldiers, weapons and ammunition.

There are only two methods: one is to capture Fengjiang as soon as possible and put out this civil strife at all costs.

 The second way is to persuade the Tang Empire to stop supporting Fengjiang: close the port and stop transportation, then Fengjiang will be destroyed without any attack, and the war will end within a few days.

It is a pity that one of the great Chinese empires cannot handle these two situations, and the other seems to be unable to do it.

"Why is Zhao Chen dawdling on the front line? Is he waiting for me to die before he can seize Fengjiang?" Zhao Kai remembered the unsatisfactory battle situation on the front line and slapped the armrest of the chair and roared.

 Zhao Zheng was defeated all the way to Shanping on the southern line... This incident had already made Zhao Kai lose his face and became furious.

But the subsequent battle between Zhao Chen and Zhe was not smooth: the Chinese army assembled a large number of troops, but in the end they installed their own defense lines. For a time, they had no choice but to stay in place and waste time.

Every time he thinks of this, Zhao Kai can think of the first war between Dahua and the Tang Empire: neither Qian Jinhang nor Feng Kezhi seemed willing to carry out his orders, causing a complete defeat on the front line.

"Why! Why? Why are you not loyal to anyone? Why are you forcing me!?" Zhao Kai suddenly stood up from the chair and shouted angrily: "Everyone deserves to die! Everyone deserves to die!"

There are two more updates, which will be delivered tomorrow morning, so don’t wait any longer.
