Chapter 730 Cooperation Conditions
You should know that the Xia Dynasty is the master of the East. The Qiman country only requires Daxia to open the coastline for them for free, and the tariffs on trade between the two countries are even more harsh. If their tariff system is implemented, Daxia will probably not have enough pants to pay.
In addition, they also asked Daxia to allow them to develop important minerals such as salt and iron on the land of Daxia.
What's even more excessive is that they actually asked Daxia to divide land for their autonomy to protect the interests of their own merchants.
In the eyes of Lin Huayao, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue at the time, this was simply a dream, and of course he could not agree.
It was shortly after the agreement was rejected that the merchants in Qiman in Jinhai and the merchants in Daxia deliberately made trouble.
The friction rose for the fight, and the flag barbarian merchant was beaten to death.
Then the Qiman used this as an excuse to march into Jinhai.
The dynasty at that time never expected that the battle would be defeated by Daxia.
Therefore, in the future, Daxia and Qiman fell into a slight strait until Qiman completely invaded Daxia.
Listening to King Ming's words, Lin Huayao recalled the old things in his heart and felt depressed.
Although he turned against Daxia, he was still not feeling bad at all by being bullied like this by a small country.
However, Lin Huayao is not an ordinary person. He knows very well that the situation is like this. Now that the flag barbarians are in great power, they can only endure it if they are unwilling to accept it.
"What Your Highness Ming said is polite. Because Emperor Xia is stupid, I have to go back to the Xia Dynasty." Lin Huayao sighed.
"The Grand Marshal is one of the few brave men of the Xia Dynasty. Our flag country admires the Grand Marshal's courage to fight. Our emperor praised the Grand Marshal as the most outstanding leader in the East. If the Xia Dynasty could be under the Grand Marshal's rule, our Eastern countries would be able to prosper together." King Ming stood up and praised Lin Huayao.
I have to say that King Ming’s words made Lin Huayao’s heart thump involuntarily.
But it was soon calmed down. He knew very well that Qi Man said it was nice, but after all, he just wanted to use him.
"I know your highness's purpose, but I don't know what Qiong Emperor plans to cooperate with me?" Lin Huayao asked softly without seeing the joy and anger on his face.
"As long as the Grand Marshal is willing to cooperate, our Qiman is willing to support the Grand Marshal overthrow the Xia Dynasty and establish a new national dynasty with the Grand Marshal as the ruler, and promises to help the Grand Marshal resist all opponents from all aspects when needed." Ming Wang said seriously.
"Oh? Cooperation is naturally full of giving and gain, but I don't know what your country wants to get from cooperation?" Lin Huayao asked lightly.
King Ming smiled bitterly: "Master, please believe that we came with sincerity, otherwise we would not have to come to see the Master. With the strength of our flag country today, it is only a matter of time before we conquer the Xia Dynasty by force. It is precisely because we have never intended to invade the Xia Dynasty, that we will come to see the Master."
"Your Highness said this too early. Although your country now occupies Mingzhu and Suzhou and Zhejiang, it is probably not easy to completely conquer Daxia. The nine-term legion of Daxia has more than a hundred*s. Even if it is not good, it is only temporary. If you continue to fight, it is still unknown who wins and who loses." Lin Huayao retorted.
"The general is so bad. Since the army was sent, the troops used by our flag country have only 20 to 30*, and they have occupied Mingzhu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At this moment, our flag country still has hundreds of soldiers with armor and is ready to go on the expedition at any time. When my hundred-thousand-strong troops arrive, can the Xia Dynasty stop?"
Speaking of this, King Ming was not arrogant and his tone was very sincere: "According to feedback from the front, the ratio of war losses between our imperial kingdom and the Xia Dynasty was as high as 1 to 30. There are still 100 soldiers in our imperial kingdom, and can there be 3,000 soldiers in the Xia Dynasty be blocked?"
Lin Huayao finally frowned. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Your Highness, can you tell me that the Ming King of Daxia once said a word, one inch of rivers and mountains, one inch of blood, ten * green * ten * soldiers. I wonder how Your Highness thinks of this sentence?"
When the Ming King heard this, his expression changed slightly. I have to say that the reason why the Flag Kingdom was facing the Ming King was because of this sentence, which really made the Flag Kingdom feel frightened.
Seeing that the highness changed slightly, Lin Huayao said, "Your Highness, we open the skylight and speak brightly. There are countless wars we have experienced in the history of Daxia, but throughout history, no matter how our nation declines, the one who ends up losing will always be foreign tribes."
Speaking of this, Lin Huayao stood up and raised his head with his hands behind his back: "Your Highness, please understand that on the land of Daxia, those who can overthrow the rule of Daxia will never be foreign tribes, but only Daxia people."
King Ming was a little calmer and smiled again: "Everything may not be a certainty. I believe the general must understand this principle, otherwise how could he take the time to see Xiao Wang in his busy schedule today?"
Both of them were silent.
The words just now are just adding bargaining chips for myself. After all, no one is sure about the future.
Qiman's bold statement to win Daxia in three months has been broken, and the attitude of the flag on the domestic side towards conquering Daxia has been changing.
From the beginning of the battle to the Daxia, to the present time we came to Lin Huayao to cooperate and support puppets to conquer Daxia, we have been constantly adjusting during the war.
Not only was the confidence to defeat Daxia shook, but it was also because in the past few days after taking Mingzhu, they did not completely rule Mingzhu as expected.
On the contrary, because of the constant emergence of rebels, Mingzhu remained nervous after occupying the ranks.
So far, Mingzhu has changed several chief officers in a row, some are iron-blooded and some are gentle.
But in the end, without exception, they were all defeated by Mingzhu, and they could never restore Mingzhu to pre-war order.
The current pearl is still half the prosperity before the war.
Qiman cannot obtain great benefits from such a pearl, so Qiman is also considering changing its strategies.
If every city captured in the future is like a pearl and requires constant force, it will be far from the intention of the flag barbarians to conquer the Daxia.
I'm afraid it will be more than worth the loss in the end. Daxia is too big. Even if Daxia is conquered, it will eventually be dragged down here.
From Lin Huayao's perspective, regardless of whether Qi Man can defeat Daxia in the future.
At least he is definitely not a match for Qi Man.
If the Qiman cooperates now, he will soon become the Qiman's sword ghost, and the future can be described.
On the contrary, if you cooperate with Qiman, the results will be very different.
Maybe it will be a major opportunity for him to embark on the path of the emperor.
He didn't believe that Qi Man really helped him for free, but as he said just now, he never looked forward to the future of Qi Man, and he was not afraid of Qi Man with wolf ambitions.
"Your Highness might as well say, how does Qi Man plan to cooperate with me? It is best to explain it more clearly." Lin Huayao finally said.
King Ming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Huayao was willing to cooperate, everything could be discussed: "Okay, the Grand Marshal is a hero of the world. It is overestimation of his ability to play with his skills in front of the Grand Marshal. I will speak openly."
After this high hat, Lin Huayao just smiled and waited for the following article.
"I didn't tell lies before. This time I came to Daxia, and I really hoped to make progress together. To be honest, my country's territory is smaller than Daxia, so many resources are lacking. Therefore, the imperial country hopes to obtain some urgent resources from Daxia. This is the prerequisite for cooperation." King Ming said honestly.
Lin Huayao was not surprised and asked directly: "Get through cooperation?"
"The dynasty supports the Grand Marshal to overthrow the Xia Dynasty's rule, and hopes that the Grand Marshal can agree that the dynasty will allow free trade in the areas under the Grand Marshal's rule, and provide the dynasty's urgently needed material resources."
"That's all?" Lin Huayao asked.
"Of course, in order to ensure that the interests of both sides are implemented, the dynasty must have the power to station troops in the land ruled by the commander." King Ming said in a deep voice.
Lin Huayao's face suddenly sank. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and said, "Send out the guest?"
When King Ming saw this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "Why should the Grand Marshal be so excited?"
"Your Highness, I am sincerely receiving you, but I am here to play with me. This is too much." Lin Hua became so sharp.
"Where did this start?" King Ming pretended to be wronged.
"Where do you start?" Lin Huayao sneered: "You want to station troops. Isn't this telling the people of the world that I am a leader who surrenders to the enemy and overthrows the rule of Daxia? I am afraid that I, Lin, will be betrayal of my relatives in an instant and become the only one who can kill him."
King Ming sighed and shook his head slightly: "The Grand Marshal is such a bad word. Let me ask, if our dynasty sends troops to help, how can the Grand Marshal overthrow the rule of Daxia?"
Lin Huayao frowned: "If your country really wants to cooperate, of course there are solutions."
"Master, it's okay to say it." Ming Wang nodded sincerely.
"If your country really cooperates, then your country can fight with the country and the country, and then I will take over the place where you win. The benefits you need will be provided by me."
Lin Huayao's meaning is very clear. Let Qiman fight in front. After the fight, Nanyue will take action again. When Qiman pretends to be defeated, Lin Huayao will successfully take over these places in a ** manner and then provide Qiman with benefits.
I have to say that this method is indeed good, but Qi Man is not a fool. Didn’t this beating them to death and finally make a wedding dress for Lin Huayao?
What will they do if Lin Huayao fails to fulfill his promise?
"The Grand Marshal's method is good. He can escape the eyes and ears of the world. However, since it is cooperation, both parties must be relieved." King Ming ** was angry.
Lin Huayao also knew that the other party could not agree, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness can also make good suggestions."
King Ming shook his head: "Master, I came here with sincerity, and I hope that Master can consider it carefully. The reason why we ask Master to cooperate is not only to admire Master's reputation, but also to be unwilling to exist as an enemy of the Xia Dynasty."
"Why is Your Highness determined to cooperate with me publicly?" Lin Huayao shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Don't say whether I am willing or not. Just say that once I cooperate openly, the world will regard me as a traitor and will attack him together. This itself does not conform to your country's strategy."
"The commander was too worried. Our troops were enough to conquer the Xia Dynasty. All we lacked was a collaborator who could be accepted by the Xia Dynasty." Ming King said.
Now Lin Huayao fully understood what King Ming meant. All Qi Man wanted was a buffer zone.
They still used force to conquer Daxia, but they did not want the land they captured to be as strong as Mingzhu to resist.
That's why I found a nominal Daxia man to come forward as the ruler. To put it bluntly, it was still a puppet.
Lin Huayao felt cold in his heart. He realized that the Qi Man did not really take him seriously. Even this cooperation was just to disintegrate the Daxia and form an anti-barbarian alliance.
"see a visitor out!"
