Chapter 362: European Strategy


After Lu Xiangsheng waited for the guards to leave, he said: "I don't know how your country plans to end this war.

Our Emperor once said that there has never been a good war or a bad peace.

We in the Ming Dynasty very much hope that we can To live in peace with the Rakshasa Kingdom.”

Marquis Ragus cursed in his heart, you have all conquered the Ural Mountains from the far east and occupied the Volga River, the mother river of the Rakshasa people, and now you are saying such words, claiming that you hate war and like peace.

It's just that the Rakshasa people have been defeated under the roof, and naturally they can't say harsh words during negotiations.

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "Our two parties have signed the Volga Peace Treaty, and the territorial dispute between the two parties has been perfectly resolved.

However, His Majesty the Tsar provoked a war again, which made the people in the Ming Dynasty furious.

Our Emperor also said that those who provoked the war It’s you, but it’s up to us how to end the war.”

Only then did Ragus understand what Lu Xiangsheng really meant.

This war was indeed initiated by the Rakshasa people, and now the Rakshasa people have lost again.

Daming's meaning is very clear.

Only when they are satisfied can this war be truly over.

How to satisfy Daming is a rather troublesome question.

Marquis Ragus said: "Our Tsar Majesty listened to the villain's words and launched an attack on the Ming army.

Now he regrets it.

He hopes to compensate the Ming Dynasty with a certain amount of gold coins.

The two sides still maintain the original territory, that is, in accordance with the Volga Peace Treaty The national boundaries drawn here.”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "Then the Marquis means that we should withdraw from this large area of ​​land we occupy.

How much money is His Majesty the Tsar prepared to spend to buy this land?"

Marquis Ragus smiled forcefully and said: "How can it be said that it is a purchase?

The Tsar realized that this war was a misunderstanding.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope that we can still be friendly neighbors.

We are willing to pay another 500,000 taels of silver to compensate the Ming Dynasty.

The loss will be paid in three years, two hundred thousand taels in the first and second years, and one hundred thousand taels in the third year.”

Lu Xiangsheng cupped his hands and said: "Since the Rakshasa Kingdom is so insincere and sends us away like beggars, then we should go back to restrain the army and prepare to fight again.

My generals are interested in the majestic buildings of your capital, so why not go together?

Take a look."

After saying that, he started to leave.

Marquis Ragus quickly grabbed Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Bachelor, don't be impatient.

Let's talk slowly.

Negotiations and negotiations are always necessary."

Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "You attacked us first and caused us huge losses.

Now with a simple word of five hundred thousand taels, I want the land that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty won with their blood to be returned to you.

The Marquis thinks this is the right thing in the world."

Or you Rakshasa people have always been reasonable in compensating for 10 million taels of silver, using the current control areas of both parties as the national boundary.

If this is not possible, then we don't mind taking the compensation ourselves. " Ragus's heart skipped a beat.

If this was the case, it would be nonsense.

The Ming Dynasty refused to give up an inch of land, and Rakshasa returned ten million taels of silver to him.

If such an outcome was reached, he would be killed directly by the tsar before returning home.

He smiled and said: "Bachelor, let's talk first.

Since you don't agree to my conditions, you don't have to put forward such harsh conditions.

You also know that it is absolutely impossible for me to agree to such conditions."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "For those 20 million taels of silver, what do you think of the Marquis if we return to the boundary drawn by the Volga Peace Treaty?"

Ragus forced a smile and said: "We in the Rakshasa Kingdom don't have so much silver."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "The same goes for paying with gold, at a ratio of eight to one.

We know that you have a lot of gold."

Ragus smiled bitterly and said nothing.

The Rakshasa Kingdom did have some gold, but 20 million taels of silver would be equivalent to 2.5 million taels of gold.

It was two taels, not a gram.

Calculating it as one, two or thirty-seven grams, that would be too much.

It requires more than 90 million grams.

Even if we collect all the gold in the country, we won't be able to get this much.

He wanted Lu Xiangsheng to lower the price to a figure that the Rakshasa Kingdom could afford, but Lu Xiangsheng refused to let go.

No agreement was reached on the first day of negotiations.

After Ragus and others went out, Dai Chunfeng stepped forward and asked: "Bachelor, this Rakshasa man obviously can't afford so much money.

If we can't reach an agreement, this place will really not be quiet.

Why, Your Majesty?"

Do you really want to destroy the Rakshasa people if you hate them so much?"

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "I don't know why Your Majesty hates the Rakshasa people so much.

The Rakshasa people have not offended us.

But since Your Majesty hates them, of course we as ministers must eat the emperor's salary, and we must also be loyal to the emperor."

Hate them.

Your Majesty really wants to destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom, but he told me before coming here that if he really destroys the Rakshasa Kingdom, the whole of Europe will be our enemy.

After all, their relationship will be closer. " Dai Chunfeng said disapprovingly: "What does the whole of Europe have to do with our Ming Dynasty being an enemy?

Our Ming Dynasty's military power is enough to sweep across Europe.

Whoever disobeys will be beaten to see who dares to gibberish."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "We are really not afraid of being enemies with the whole of Europe now.

But you have to know that a nation or a country cannot be prosperous forever, there will definitely be ups and downs.

Now we have conquered the whole of Europe and are invincible in the world. , people’s hearts will become slack , then the decline of the Ming Dynasty is not far away.

Your Majesty has taken this into consideration.

For our Ming Dynasty, Asia is enough.

Some of the places we have occupied now belong to Europe and can become our bridgehead for contact with Europe.

This It's enough."

Dai Chunfeng sighed: "Your Majesty's vision is really far-reaching.

Having Your Majesty in our Ming Dynasty is really a blessing for our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the Han nation."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Who said otherwise?

Our war in Rakshasa went smoothly.

I thought that Your Majesty would take advantage of the situation to destroy Rakshasa, but I didn't expect that His Majesty just wanted to weaken Rakshasa Kingdom and make it an inferior country with limited land.

As long as If the Rakshasa country is weak, countries like Poland and Sweden will naturally pounce on it and bite off bits of its flesh, which will make it difficult for it to stand up. " Dai Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Europe will unify and a big country will emerge that will compete with the Ming Dynasty for supremacy?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I have also mentioned this to your Majesty.

Your Majesty said that European unification is almost impossible, and the relationship between their countries is too complicated.

And if the Ming Dynasty kills the Rakshasa Kingdom, it is possible that it will To unite Europe, as long as there is no external pressure, European countries will fight each other to pieces.

Wanting to unite is nothing more than a dream. " Dai Chunfeng nodded and said: "I have been conducting investigations here for such a long time and found that it is indeed the case.

The war hatred between countries ranges from hundreds to decades, and coupled with the Catholic Church, There are actually various factions in Europe, and it is really difficult to unify them even if there is a strong one.

The powerful people are unified for a while, but they will soon fall apart.

Unlike our Ming Dynasty, they have never had a tradition of unification.

It’s just that my investigation report has not been sent in yet.

Your Majesty already knows everything.

I can only say that those who are capable can do anything.

Your Majesty’s sage is indeed beyond our comprehension
