Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Does Guangtian Lianjie dare to refuse?

He really didn't dare to refuse, although he really wanted to say that the soldiers of the empire could protect Lin Yi.

But looking at Ding Yi's firm and unyielding gaze, Guangtian Lianjie wisely chose to give in.

The current Sakura Country really cannot afford to fight.

Seeing Guangtian Lianjie's acquiescence, Ding Yi smiled with satisfaction.

Then, without waiting for Hirota Renjie to order the soldiers of Sakura Kingdom to hand over the city defense, he directly ordered the soldiers to take over Shimonoseki.

Hirota Renjie and Terauchi Seiichi could only watch helplessly.

The soldiers of Sakura Country looked like wolves and tigers, and were well-equipped and threatened by warships.

In addition, their superiors did not ask them to resist, so these Sakura Kingdom soldiers could only obediently hand over the city defense of Shimonoseki.

Seeing the soldiers of Sakura Kingdom withdrawing from Maguan, Daxia was not polite and directly let the first division and the second division be stationed in Maguan.

Originally, Lin Yi brought so many people here just to show off Daxia's military power. Naturally, he went too far.

For a full hour, after the soldiers of the First Division and the Second Division occupied Shimon Pass, Lin Yi walked off the battleship Qinhuang.

After seeing Lin Yi finally appear in front of him, Guangtian Lianjie also quickly approached and expressed his welcome to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was naturally very friendly and expressed his goodwill to Guangtian Lianjie.

Later, Lin Yi participated in the welcome banquet arranged by Guangtian Lianjie, and ate some special foods from Sakura Country.

Although Lin Yi maintained a friendly smile on the surface, he started to curse in his heart.

Just use these stinky fish and rotten shrimps to entertain yourself, and wait until the negotiation tomorrow, and you must kill Meiji one more time!

When the negotiations officially started the next day, Lin Yi took the lead in laying out Daxia's conditions.

[-]. The Sakura Kingdom admits defeat, returns control of Goryeo, Yizhou, and Ryukyu, and gives up its claim to sovereignty over these three places. And released the Li family of Goryeo and the Shang family of Ryukyu.

Second, cede Kyushu Island and recognize the legal status of Tokugawa Qingxi and Baiyu Tianhuang.

[-]. War compensation of [-] million imperial silver dollars to Daxia.

20. Reduce the number of soldiers. The total number of soldiers cannot exceed [-], and surface warships exceeding [-] tons, including cruisers, cannot be found.

Lin Yi only proposed four points, but these four points all hit the vital points of Sakura Country.

First and second, asking them to give up Goryeo, Yizhou and Ryukyu is simply cutting off their flesh.

Although these places are now occupied by Daxia. Sakura Country has no way to take it back for the time being.

But Sakura Country still wants to keep a claim and take it back when it becomes stronger in the future.

But Lin Yi asked them to give up their claims as soon as he opened his mouth. This was equivalent to making it impossible for Sakura Country to seize these places using excuses such as being close to Sakura Country since ancient times.

Once you take action on these places, you will be at a disadvantage morally.

Well, to take a step back, these places were originally occupied by the Sakura Kingdom. If they were returned to Daxia, they would be returned to Daxia.

But this Kyushu Island has really existed since ancient times.

Hirota Renkai refused to hand over Kyushu Island, one of his four native islands, without even thinking about it.

If he dared to agree to this condition, he would know with his toes that his fate would definitely be worse than Shinzo Yamada's.

And let alone what else, do you want to recognize the legal status of Tokugawa Yoshiki and Shiroha?

Guangtian Lianjie can guarantee that as long as he nods his head, he can just wait for death.

Let’s talk about the third point: compensate Daxia with [-] million imperial silver dollars.

If Sakura Country can get this money, will he choose to surrender?

The last time John State only asked for 3000 million silver dollars, he had already wiped out all the old man Tianhuang's money.

Now you still want to compensate Daxia [-] million?

At this time, Guangtian Lianjie just said, forget it, just destroy it, I'm tired.

Compared with the previous three conditions, the fourth condition of reducing the army is not so difficult to accept.

After all, Sakura Country has no money now and cannot afford to support so many people.

According to Guangtian Lianjie, [-] is more than [-] to [-], which is about the same.

Therefore, the focus of the entire negotiation is actually to focus on the first, second, and third.

Lin Yi's attitude was very tough, that is, he would not give in even a step.

In Lin Yi's view, Goryeo, Ryukyu, Yizhou, including Kyushu, are all under my absolute control. That's my place.

Even here on Kyushu Island, I have already given you a face and let Tokugawa Qingxi come out to rebuild the shogunate.

Although Daxia is hiding behind the scenes to control the Tokugawa Shogunate now, are you Sakura people sitting in that position now?

Does this give you face?

Why, I'm giving you face, but you don't accept it, and you even want the Koryo that I already had in my stomach, Ryukyu?

Do you feel like I'm giving you a face?

Let’s talk about the third item. Is a war compensation of [-] million yuan too much for you?

Your entire Sakura Country has a population of 7000 million.

I'm going to ask each of you for a little more than one dollar in war reparations. Can you tell me more?

What? Now the Sakura Country treasury is out of money?

Then don’t you still have people? Call for donations!

Before a great naval battle, don’t you always mobilize national donations to buy warships from John’s country?

Since you can make donations to buy weapons and equipment and warships, you can also promote the spirit of donations for war reparations.

Anyway, in one sentence, you have to cut the land, and you have to give the money!

One point less, then keep playing!

Facing the aggressive and rogue Lin Yi, Guangtian Lianjie really had no choice.

Lin Yi's attitude is already obvious. It is your Sakura Country that wants peace talks, not Daxia.

Today's Daxia can still fight with its strong soldiers and horses. Can your Sakura Kingdom fight?

The conditions given by Daxia now are the bottom line, and there is no possibility of retreat.

Guangtian Lianjie heard Lin Yi's words and said that Lin Yi did not understand diplomacy.

In current negotiations between countries around the world, no one is asking for a high price and then has to sit back and pay back the money. How is it like you, fixed price?

Lin Yi said that he is a soldier, not a diplomat, and he does not have diplomats at the moment, so it is a fixed price.

If you can accept it, then accept it; if you can't, then fight.

In the end, forced by Lin Yi's toughness, Hirota Lianjie had no choice but to report the matter to Meiji.

As for Meiji, he had long been prepared to be slaughtered by Daxia.

However, when Daxia's knife actually fell, he realized how cruel Daxia's knife was.

Finally, after Meiji fainted three times and vomited blood five times, Meiji finally agreed to Lin Yi's request.

For the current Meiji, the most important thing is to end the war and then find a way to annihilate the Tokugawa shogunate.

In response, Meiji proposed that he could cede Kyushu Island, but could not recognize the Tokugawa Shogunate.

At the same time, it was announced that Tokugawa Qingxi and the so-called Baiyu Tianhuang were rebels, and the Sakura Kingdom's war against Tokugawa was the internal affairs of the Sakura Kingdom.

At the same time, it was also proposed that Sakura Country was willing to use [-] million imperial silver dollars as a ransom to purchase Kyushu Island from Daxia.
