Chapter 107 The Price of Rescuing Zhang Haize
While everyone was talking, Chen Yu, who was holding the water cup, listened silently. During this period, he did not make any comments, but listened carefully.
Almost everyone expressed their opinions, and even Tang Bing clearly expressed his disagreement and his attitude was very firm. According to his opinion, even if he used a lot of money to exchange, it would be fine, but he could not withdraw his troops, let alone sign an agreement.
Chen Yu picked up the water cup and kowtowed it gently on the table twice, making two very dull sounds. Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Chen Yu with anticipation, hoping to say something to refuse from Chen Yu.
"Duke, why don't you express your opinion?" Chen Yu slowly looked at Duke, the second person on the right. He is now the second largest civilian official in Yaochi after Tang Bing, so his words are also very important.
Seeing that Chen Yu pointed his name, Duke knew that he could not hide anymore, and then said with a little hesitation on his face: "I think since someone has helped us, it will definitely not work if we don't save it, but Black Island's request is too much, so..."
Hearing this, Chen Yu immediately frowned and said, "Don't be ambiguous, just tell me your opinion."
Duke's body trembled. Although he was in a high position now, he still had some natural fear in the face of Chen Yu, and then said: "My opinion is to save it. Although their requests are excessive, they are not unacceptable."
As soon as these words were made, the crowd immediately exploded, especially senior military officials such as Philip, Yang Shan, Yan Hu. "Minister Du! You said it as soon as you put your mouth on your mouth. Don't you know how much effort we have put in? You are worthy of those dead heroes? Please think with your brain!"
Duke was also very depressed. He was mute and couldn't say anything about the suffering of eating berberine. He knew very well that Chen Yu needed this opinion. Although this opinion might not be his own opinion, he still had to say it. Still the same sentence, Chen Yu needed it.
"Minister Du, please tell me carefully," Chen Yu interrupted everyone and said expressionlessly.
Everyone was shocked, and the meaning was very clear. Chen Yu did not give any comments on their words, and did not even nod. But Chen Yu asked Duke to continue saying that this was a bit interesting.
Even Tang Bing looked at Chen Yu in surprise and thought to himself: Is he going to stand opposite to everyone? This is not a good phenomenon.
Duke is under a lot of pressure now. He just guessed some of Chen Yu's thoughts from Chen Yu's expression, and he didn't know what to say at all.
"Then...that...I think..." Duke said a little stutteringly. A word popped up in half a minute. On the one hand, he wanted to satisfy Chen Yu, but he didn't want to offend everyone, so he was very confused now.
Chen Yu frowned again and shouted: "Whatever this or that person is, say whatever you think! If you are afraid of me, you are afraid of!"
Duke woke up immediately. He really wanted to slap himself hard just now. Anyway, he had offended everyone, so he would offend him completely. Anyway, with Chen Yu here, others would never dare to do anything to him.
"Reputation, I just want to say two words now." Duke glanced at everyone and said again: "Please think about it. Nowadays, there are many people who come to our Yaochi every day. In short, it is still those two words. If we give up Zhang Haize, then the entire Roland Sea will look down on us. I think this is the most important thing..."
Duke used the two words "best" to express how important reputation is to Yaochi. For a moment, everyone lowered their heads, and was a little red when Duke said it.
"Duke, what you said is meaningless. None of us said we would not save Zhang Haize, do you say so?" Tony said at this time.
Chen Yu nodded slowly and said, "Since everyone is willing to save Zhang Haize, then draft the document and negotiate with Heidao now. Everything should be based on Zhang Haize's safety."
Although everyone was a little unhappy, they nodded and agreed. They also understood that Chen Yu's words meant to save Zhang Haize at all costs. How much benefit can be won for Yaochi depends on everyone's ability.
...
After nearly a month of negotiations, Hei Island finally decided to release the people, but Yao Chi also paid a huge price. Yao Chi had returned all the islands of Pando and Haishi. As for the Duchy of Yak, under the insistence of the officials on Yao Chi, Hei Island compromised and occupied the islands of the Duchy of Yak, and did not have to be returned. The so-called agreement of Hei Island to not take up wars for five years was also changed to three years.
It seems that they have won a lot of things, but Yao Chi still suffered a big loss. Except for Chen Yu, the rest of Yao Chi are full of complaints. They still cannot understand why Chen Yu gave up so many benefits for such a person, and all of these benefits are exchanged for the flesh and blood of the military and civilians of Yao Chi.
For a moment, Chen Yu's power fell to the bottom. Some low-level soldiers even dared to say that Chen Yu was not in public. Of course, it was obvious that someone was secretly instructing him. Although he was a little calmer under the suppression of the Tang soldiers, many people were still gossiping behind their backs.
Chen Yu had thought that many people would object, but what he didn't expect was that the person who resisted the most was Philip. He took the people to the sea to take the initiative to station, without even Chen Yu's consent. To some extent, he was already treason.
...
Zhang Haize looked at the sea shark island below on the helicopter, and felt very sad. He thought that he might come here in another identity one day, but he didn't expect that he would do this way.
Chen Yu was waiting at the airport half an hour in advance. He watched the helicopter, which was originally the size of a bird, slowly turned into a giant, and then landed steadily on the Sea Shark Island. The ones who came with Chen Yu were Tang Bing, Duke, Yan Hu and others. As for Tony, Yang Shan and others, they made excuses and did not come over, and Chen Yu was helpless about this.
Zhang Haize saw Chen Yu as soon as he got off the plane. His eyes turned red immediately, and tears began to roam in his eyes unconsciously. Since the day he was arrested, he thought that Chen Yu might save him, but when he knew about Hei Island's request, he immediately rejected his previous thoughts.
Because he had done many calculations, if he had been Chen Yu, he would never have saved himself at such a great price. This is not cold-blooded or ruthless. This is just an ordinary person's choice and has nothing to do with anything else.
Chen Yu smiled, walked up and stretched out his hand, and said, "Legitimately no see you, Elder Zhang, welcome to Haisha Island."
Zhang Haize stretched out his hand with a trembling trembling, took a deep breath and said, "Commander-in-Chief Chen, long time no see."
