"A rebel army has appeared in my body and is occupying Shazsuba. We were attacking them before you arrived. Now that the army is gone, I am afraid we will not be able to attack them.
So if your Tianyun Kingdom can help us get back Shazsuba, then I can promise that the Uso horses that we pay tribute to King Yun every year can be increased to 8,000! "
The eldest prince put forward his own conditions. After hearing this, Wang Cezhi immediately asked: "How many people are there in the rebels who have occupied Shaz?"
"Two hundred thousand!"
The eldest prince replied.
Wang Cezhi thought for a while and then replied: "I need to send news back to the country to answer you."
The eldest prince nodded: "It should be."
Wang Cezhi said again:
“But the other conditions have to be decided today.
That is to say, except for the gold one, you all agree with everything else, right? "
Wang Cezhi originally thought that the eldest prince would agree immediately, but unexpectedly the eldest prince shook his head and said:
"The two Subas you occupied before are fine, but you have to return Yoel County to us!"
"return?"
Wang Cezhi keenly noticed the word "return", which meant that their Tianyun army once again captured the land of a county of the other party!
If the land that the army finally won was returned to him during negotiations, Wang Cezhi believed that when he returned, he would be scolded enough to make his ancestors uneasy for eighteen generations.
In addition, he was originally from the army, and he already occupied the place. I occupied it based on my ability, so why should I return it?
If you can, take it back yourself!
Wang Cezhi was confident and immediately refused without hesitation: "No! The land must be limited to the current occupied area. We can promise not to attack other places, but the land we have already obtained is absolutely impossible. If I spit it out again, even if I agree, the country will never agree!
Lord of Shendu Kingdom, you must also know very well that even if you have obtained a new land, you will probably not spit it out again, right? "
The Prince of Shendu was silent, and then nodded heavily. He also understood how unrealistic it was for Tianyun Kingdom to spit out the Yoel County they had obtained.
Just now he was just taking a chance and wanted to give it a try.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work.
Then the two sides began to bargain over the conditions proposed by Wang Cezhi, and the poisoned ministers also participated in the process.
Generally speaking, Shen Du's side is trying to lower the conditions, while Wang Cezhi's side is stubbornly unwilling to do so.
Finally, after an afternoon of deliberations, the final treaty was released, which both parties called the Treaty of Youle.
This is a treaty exchanged for Youer County. It is an honor for Tianyun, but for Shendu, it is a shame!
The content of the treaty is not much, but it is very important.
First is compensation!
That’s right, compensation!
Because Shen Du took the initiative to start a war with the Tianyun Kingdom, although they were eventually discovered by the Tianyun Kingdom and fought back, they still had to make war reparations and pay the price for this war.
And they need to compensate Tianyun Kingdom nearly 20 million taels of silver as war compensation for this war.
Wang Cezhi originally proposed 30 million, but after the lobbying of the poisonous prince and ministers, he took a step back and adjusted the war compensation to 20 million.
After compensation comes ownership of the land.
In the Treaty of Youle, it was officially confirmed that the Nanli County and Woye County that Tianyun Kingdom had completely occupied, as well as the Youle County that had just been acquired, belonged to the Tianyun Kingdom. From now on, the legal owner of these three places will be Tianyun. country.
The body poison cannot be demanded for any reason. The two sides use the border lines of these three places as the boundaries. Three places are returned to Tianyun, and the others are still body poison.
Then comes the third one!
Trade and official taxes, as well as the diplomatic immunity of Tianyun people in Shendu territory.
The two sides have opened commercial trade, and Tianyun people can freely enter and exit Shendu for commercial activities, but they only have to pay 10% of the normal commercial tax.
However, if a businessman who is a drug addict wants to enter the Tianyun Kingdom for commercial activities, he needs to pay taxes according to the Tianyun Kingdom's tax system. However, when the goods enter the country, he needs to pay an entry tax of half of the value of the goods. Finally, the Tianyun Kingdom officially agrees. Only then can you enter Tianyun Kingdom to do business.
Originally, Wang Cezhi wanted to completely exempt Tianyun people from commercial taxes on this day, but after thinking about it, this was not entirely a good thing for Tianyun. In addition, there was strong opposition from the eldest prince, and finally So this became 10%.
No matter how much the eldest prince protested, Wang Cezhi had no intention of letting go, and in the end they had no choice but to agree.
As for the harsh conditions for Shendu people to enter the Tianyun Kingdom to trade, the eldest prince and the others did not pay much attention. In their opinion, the Tianyun people all came out of the mountains. If they can get anything good, their own businessmen do not need to go there. Tianyun country does business.
So it didn't matter no matter how harsh the conditions were, I agreed easily.
As for the fourth and final item, the eldest prince disagreed with the matter of sending troops to protect Tianyun Kingdom's interests in Shendu. He said that troops from other countries entered Shendu at will. What would it look like to the people of Shendu.
Wang Cezhi thought for a while and then proposed that the Tianyun Kingdom set up an embassy in Shendu to handle all matters concerning the people of the Tianyun Kingdom in Shendu, as well as diplomatic matters such as communication between Tianyun Kingdom and Shendu Kingdom.
King Shendu needs to set aside a piece of land in the royal capital for the Tianyun Kingdom's embassy, and this land will legally belong to the Tianyun Kingdom.
In order to protect the safety of the embassy, Tianyun Congress sent a thousand-person escort team to station here.
As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince understood what Wang Cezhi meant, but he could only hold his nose and endure it.
After all, we are the defeated country, and the victorious country insists on implementing the conditions proposed by it, but there is nothing we can do.
Since Wang Cezhi proposed a way to preserve the face of both parties, leaving a thousand garrison troops in the name of embassy guards so that he could maintain his face, he had no choice but to agree.
It’s better than having people blatantly send troops into the country, isn’t it?
At least now he had the appearance of a legitimate embassy escort.
The fifth article is that Tianyun Country promises not to send troops to invade Shendu Country again.
(Unless Shendu takes the initiative to go to war or provokes Tianyun Kingdom, Tianyun Kingdom will regard it as Shendu Country taking the initiative to tear up the treaty, and will severely retaliate.)
In this regard, the above five articles formed the basic provisions of the Treaty of Youle.
In the following days, Wang Cezhi used the carrier pigeons of the secret guards to contact the country, and after receiving Zhao Jun's reply, he gave the eldest prince a reply about sending troops to assist.
Domestic opinions agree!
Even after getting so many benefits, I also want to give others a taste of the sweetness, and at the same time, I can intimidate these people at close range, so that they can see with their own eyes the power of the Tianyun Kingdom's army.
Therefore, Tianyun decided to send 50,000 people, including 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, to help Shendu Country wipe out these 200,000 "rebels."
As for the Fourth Prince of Shendu, although Zhao Jun knew his true identity, so what, if he could not bring any benefit to Tianyun, he would just serve as a partner for Tianyun to gain benefits.
After confirming the clause of sending troops to assist, there was no obstacle to the Treaty of Yoel. The two sides added to the basic treaty that they were required to pay tribute to Tianyun King Zhao Jun of 8,000 Uso horses every year, starting from the autumn of the next year.
In addition, each body poison must pay tribute to Tianyun Kingdom 10 million kilograms of spices and 20 million kilograms of grain.
And Tianyunhui agreed to send troops to help Shendu wipe out the rebels entrenched in Shazsuba.
These articles were added to the supplementary provisions of the Treaty of Youle.
At this point, the Treaty of Youle was formally formed.
The two parties signed a contract. The eldest prince stamped his prince's seal and the king's seal he got from the old king. Wang Cezhi took out the special envoy seal given by Zhao Jun before departure and signed the Yoel Treaty on behalf of the Tianyun Kingdom.
At this point, legally speaking, the two sides reached an armistice treaty.
Tianyun got the results he wanted and a lot of benefits. Although Shendu lost a lot of benefits, he got the Tianyun Kingdom's promise not to invade again and to help eliminate Anaro.
Both parties got what they wanted, which can be described as a "win-win".
Everyone has a bright and wonderful future!
