The main event is here, and both Zhu Biaohandu and Faraji are in high spirits. Because the next problem both sides are about to face is gold!
At this time, whoever speaks first will lose the initiative and be at a disadvantage.
The air in the cabin gradually solidified, and Shi Si's head seemed to be under unparalleled pressure, constantly lowering toward the bottom of the wooden board. Just when Shi Si's head was about to touch the table, Faraij still couldn't hold back and spoke, "I can only apologize for the compensation requested by Ming Dynasty. Six hundred thousand pounds of gold is what I can give." The highest price. Of course, if Ming is still not satisfied, as long as Ming agrees to use slaves as a deduction, this princess can still add more."
Han Du smiled when he heard this, waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about the deduction first. Let's talk about the amount first."
His eyes narrowed slightly and then opened. Han Du looked at Faraij with a stern face and said: "At that time, I was not satisfied with the 600,000 pounds you proposed."
Han Du's words directly made Faraij's face look ugly. Faraaji couldn't help but interjected: "How much does the Ming Dynasty want? Is it the two million pounds you proposed? Tell the truth to the noble Marquis, in the Mamluk dynasty's treasury It is true that there is a batch of gold, but this batch of gold is far less than two million pounds. And it is used to pay administrative expenses and stabilize the dynasty, and it is impossible to give it to you."
As soon as Faraij finished speaking, Han Du looked at Zhu Biao without any trace. From this woman's words, both of them understood that the gold in the Mamluk Dynasty's treasury was really more than 600,000 pounds. Even if it was not 2 million pounds, there must be more than one million pounds of gold. This woman had no experience in negotiation at all. She had no idea that her trump card would be revealed in just one sentence, and she would reveal her wealth in front of her opponent.
After seeing his opponent's trump card during the negotiation, Han Du had never encountered anything so exciting again. Gearing up, he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Six hundred thousand pounds? You are sending a beggar away! If it is only for six hundred thousand pounds, then why should I bother to fight for you? , the brother who handed you over directly to you, I wonder if he is willing to pay 600,000 pounds in exchange for your sister?"
Faraiji sneered, "Then you are wrong, Mr. Marquis. He will only send troops to attack you and eliminate you and me together. You see, this war is impossible to avoid. Even if it is for himself, Mr. Marquis, Had to fight.”
Han Du chuckled and looked at Faraij with amusement, "Are you thinking too much? As long as I retreat to the sea, who can stop us? Do you think Belgorge can still chase us to the sea? ?”
Faraij was silent after hearing this. The Mamluk dynasty was dominated by cavalry and did not pay enough attention to warships. If the Ming people retreat directly to the sea, then Beierguge really has nothing to do with them.
"So," Han Du had no patience to argue with Faraji, "we are fighting this battle entirely for you. If you are unwilling to show true sincerity, then I can only say sorry. Maybe, When Belgorge comes here, it would be a good idea to hand you over to him, what do you think?"
Faraji's face suddenly turned cold, and his shoulders couldn't help shaking. She knew very well that if she fell into the hands of Beierguge, she would never have a chance to live again. At that time, all Belgouge had to say was that the real Faraij was still in exile and she was just a fake, and he would be able to chop off her head with a single blow.
Faraij's eyes were red, with a look of fear, and he sighed: "Okay, I am willing to pay 800,000 pounds to ask the benevolent Ming Dynasty to send troops to help. Your great highness, you also know that two million pounds of gold is simply It’s more than a mountain, and the Mamluk dynasty didn’t have that much gold.”
An increase of 200,000 pounds suddenly made Zhu Biao very excited. It was so exciting, more exciting than anything he had ever seen before. Since Zhu Biao became the crown prince, the expenses of his East Palace for so many years may not have been more than 100,000 pounds of gold. In other words, Faraji's small mouth just now was equivalent to more than twice the cost of the entire East Palace for many years. If Zhu Biao had so much money all at once, he wouldn't know where to spend it.
However, 800,000 pounds was far from what Zhu Biao and Han Du expected, so Zhu Biao showed a disdain for Faraji's price.
Han Du's face suddenly darkened and he sneered: "Eight hundred thousand pounds. Do you believe that I sent troops to defeat Beierguge, and the gold I took out from his treasure house was more than 800,000 pounds? If you are only willing to pay this much One point, then who am I, Daming? I work for you for free, and why do I need to give you some money?"
"If this is your sincerity, then let's not talk about 800,000 pounds. After my army defeats Belgoge and empties his treasure house, you can use 600,000 pounds to buy Mamuru The throne of the sultan of the Croatian dynasty."
After finishing speaking, Han Du gave Zhu Biao and Tang Ding a look, indicating that they should pay attention to the change in Faraji's expression.
Sure enough, Han Du saw the reluctance on Faraji's face flashing away, and he suddenly felt reassured.
Faraij was full of anger. After all, the throne of the Mamluk sultan was extremely sacred and supreme to her, but in Handu's mouth, it was just open and closed business. But now the situation is stronger than the people. No matter how angry Faraji is, he has to suppress his anger and continue negotiating with Handu.
She didn't dare to turn around and leave directly, otherwise she would never be able to turn around again.
Han Du saw that Faraij dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he smiled lowly, knowing that it pinched her weakness. He chuckled and said: "You'd better think clearly and don't be reluctant to give up the gold. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that if you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not catch the wolf. If you don't want to give up anything, how can you get on the throne in the end? You know, you are now Those things you are unwilling to give up are still Beierguge's, and they do not belong to you."
"Using Belgorge's wealth to help you ascend to the throne, you not only gain the throne, but you also lose nothing."
Although Faraij felt sorry for the gold, as Han Du said, if she could not return to the country, the gold would have nothing to do with her.
Finally, after many back-and-forth negotiations, Faraij agreed to Handu's conditions. She was willing to pay 1.3 million pounds of gold to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help her regain the throne, and she could only pay the gold in installments. The first batch of 800,000 pounds needs to be paid immediately after Daming helped her ascend the throne. The remaining 500,000 pounds will be paid to Daming in ten years with an interest of 10% per year and compound interest.
After the Ming Dynasty agreed on the conditions for sending troops, Han Du smiled and took out a beautifully framed document. Smiling and said: "Your Excellency Faraiji..."
After Faraij reached the negotiation, she was greatly relieved. From a high-ranking princess to the lowest slave, she never wanted to recall what she had experienced in the past few years. Therefore, after reaching an agreement with Ming Dynasty, she seemed to see the throne of the Mamluk Sultan waving to her.
Just when she was obsessed with the illusory royal power, she suddenly heard Han Du's words, which made her frown and said in a correct tone: "Your noble Marquis, please call me Your Highness the Princess."
I said you were fat and you still breathed? What a bullshit princess, she's just a penniless slave girl... Although he was complaining in his heart, Han Du had a smile on his face.
Bowing slightly, giving Faraij enough face, he said: "Your Royal Highness, your Royal Highness, if you want the Ming Dynasty to protect the Mamluk Dynasty, you must become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."
"What is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?" Faraji was quite curious when he heard this statement for the first time.
"... Become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and contribute tribute to the Ming Dynasty in peacetime. When the critical moment comes, the Ming Dynasty will help the vassal state. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has hundreds of vassal states. As long as His Highness signs this letter of credence, not only will other vassal states not be able to do so in the future. If there is a conflict with the Mamluk dynasty, I am even obliged to help His Highness.”
After hearing this, Faraji signed his credentials without hesitation. He even felt a little regretful in his heart. He should not have agreed to Ming's conditions if he had known better. If she had signed the vassal's credential in advance, then maybe she wouldn't need the Ming Dynasty to send troops, and the help of other vassal states alone would be enough to put down the rebellion.
But Faraiji would not have thought that things were certainly not as simple as she thought. Recognizing the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state and becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty can indeed gain such convenience. Even if necessary, Ming could directly send troops to help her suppress the domestic rebellion. But both the Ming Dynasty and the current vassal states are thousands of miles away from the Mamluk dynasty. Therefore, in fact, she could not get any help by signing her credentials.
After signing the certificate of credence, Faraiji played a trick and asked: "Now that this princess has signed the certificate of credence, is it considered a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty? Then this time, the Ming Dynasty helps this princess to regain the throne. Isn't it reasonable? As it should be?"
You want to burn bridges and get nothing, but how can anything be so cheap in the world? Han Du sneered in his heart and saw that Falaji said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess misunderstood. Her Royal Highness only signed the letter of credence, but whether it can become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty still needs to be canonized by His Majesty the Emperor."
The implication is that it is impossible to get rid of gold and land slaves.
Faraij naturally understood what Handu meant, and the reason why she asked was just in case. Now that I know it's impossible, I no longer have hope.
"Well, I hope Daming can keep his promise." Faraji stood up and said with hope.
