Chapter 1836: Robbery
The flags are rolling and the iron hooves are clanking.
These dozens of cavalry Tang troops were like sharp knives, fiercely inserted into the middle line of the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. Wherever the iron hoofs stepped, the horizontal knives flew, and the swords flashed like horses, slashing hard at the two fighting armies.
A fierce battle was going on between Soga's soldiers and the Eni people. Suddenly, they were rushed in by the Tang army. They were caught off guard and were immediately killed and injured. They were helpless as they watched the Tang army's cavalry wreak havoc.
Everyone knew that Tang Jun was here to mediate, but why was he charging and killing like this?
The captain of the Tang Army rushed forward, slashing left and right with the horizontal sword in his hand, and shouted: "When the Tang Army arrives, stop fighting immediately! If you dare to disobey the order, you will be killed without mercy!"
Ji Shiju gasped and stood up with his sword put away. Looking at the Tang Jun who was showing off his power and showing off his power, he knew that this was a wink and a warning to him. The charge before the mediation by the Ezo people this time made the Tang Jun very dissatisfied, which made the Tang Jun feel My own majesty is compromised, so I have to use such a strong way to show my existence.
However, this cannot be blamed on Tang Jun. With the strong character of Lord Fang Jun, his prestige will never be challenged...
Ji Shiju raised the horizontal sword in his hand and shouted: "Retract the troops! Back off!"
The Ezo people immediately withdrew from the battlefield under his order and slowly retreated.
When he came, he was full of hatred and hatred, but now he was full of blood and fighting spirit!
More than a thousand Eni people caused at least twice the battle damage of the Japanese. This kind of combat power was enough to be proud of, and it was also enough to make the Japanese dare not easily provoke and start a war in the future.
The Japanese are now as afraid of the Tang people as tigers. They have witnessed with their own eyes how the Tang army defeated the allied forces of the feudal states and completely wiped out the entire army. How can they dare to feel dissatisfied in their hearts?
Seeing Tang Jun Hengdao immediately intervened to mediate, and quickly retreated.
Suga Mingta urged his horses to come forward, suppressing his anger and shouted: "Even if you are mediating, why are you killing the Japanese?"
The leading Tang military lieutenant was in full armor, with an iron helmet on his head, and a bright red necklace fluttering in the wind. His entire face was hidden under his visor, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was extremely cold: "Hou I have an order. Since the Tang Dynasty has come forward to mediate, the two sides should cease the war immediately. Whoever dares to provoke a war without authorization will die! Anyone who disobeys the military order of the Marquis will be killed without mercy!"
Minta Soga said angrily: "The Ezo people blatantly disobeyed your Tang army's orders and attacked Asukakyo without authorization. Is it possible that I have to sit back and wait for death, unable to fight back?"
The Tang military captain was as cold as ever: "The Eni people attacked without authorization. That is the matter of the Eni people. The Lord Marquis will punish him afterwards. Since the Japanese started a war, they also disobeyed the Lord Marquis's military orders and will be punished in the same way!"
Minta Soga was furious: "If we don't start a war, the Ezo people may have invaded Asukakyo by now, and I will be cut into pieces by the Ezo people. Is it useful to punish the Ezo people at that time?"
The Tang military captain dismissed his anger: "Whether you die or not, whether the Ezo people will invade Asukakyo, these have nothing to do with me. I am a soldier and only obey military orders. The military order of the Marquis is that the two sides are not allowed to fight. No war is allowed under any circumstances! You must be lucky that you are not a soldier of our Tang army, otherwise you will be punished for disobeying the military order!"
"..."
Minta Soga was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
He felt that even if he was usually unreasonable, how could he have expected that people from the Tang Dynasty were even more unreasonable than him!
Oh, if you put a knife to your neck and resist, you are disobeying the military order, but if you just hold your neck and kill him, you are a good person?
He was very angry, but he also knew that arguing with this captain was the stupidest thing to do. The soldiers of the Tang Army were all one-minded. They would not move forward even if the military orders were issued, even if the front was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. They were so stupid that he immediately blushed. Without saying a word, Hong turned the horse's head and rode away.
I can't talk to you, I'll talk to your Lord Marquis to reason with you!
The captain sneered, "The person who killed you has to hold back your anger, don't you accept it?"
If you don't accept it, just wait for the Marquis to rip you off hard. Why don't you be honest...
*****
Namba Tsu, Chunfan Tower.
Negotiations between Fang Jun and Sumo Lishi are ongoing.
As the party that asked the Tang people to mediate, the Japanese state was out of weakness. Sumo knew this very well. Moreover, in order to keep the Tang Dynasty, he was mentally prepared to pay a lot of benefits.
But as soon as the negotiations began, they reached a deadlock...
"Cede Sado Island? Cede Namba Tsu? No, no, no, absolutely not!"
Sumama was so angry that his beard stood up, and said angrily: "Sado is one of the eight islands of the Japanese country. It is the land given to the Japanese by Amaterasu. How can it be ceded to others? Even if I agree, millions of Japanese will definitely If you refuse to agree, there is no room for discussion on this matter. "
Fang Jun was not in a hurry and said calmly: "But the reason why Sado Island is now in the hands of the Tang Army is because your country tortured and killed the Tang people there. You can't just say that Sado is one of the eight Japanese islands and let the Tang Army fall into disgrace." Liu Liu withdraws his troops from Sado? Even if I am willing, can your Majesty the Emperor in Chang'an be willing?"
This is simply being a rogue!
Now that Sado Island has fallen and is under your control, why are you talking so loudly?
Sumarishi was furious: "No matter what, Sado cannot be ceded, and Nambazu cannot be ceded!"
Sado is a sovereignty issue, but Nambazu is a security issue. Once Nambajin becomes the territory of the Tang people, they can drive directly to Asukakyo anytime and anywhere. Is it possible that the Japanese country wants to move its capital? We had originally agreed to use Nambajin as a treaty port, and the Tang people only garrisoned 2,000 troops. Moreover, the military expenses of the 2,000 Tang troops had to be borne by the Japanese country. This was already too much, but now they say they want to cede it...
< br>
This is simply unreasonable.
"Then tell me, how to deal with the torture and murder of the Tang people on Sado Island?"
“The worst case scenario is to pay a sum of money to the family of the deceased.”
"You misunderstood. This is not just a matter of compensating the family members, but also a matter of the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. Do you think that if this example is opened, any country that kills Tang people in the future can use money to solve the problem. The majesty of the Tang Dynasty Where is the dignity of the Tang people? ”
"..."
Suamalishi felt that the Marquis was simply unreasonable. How many people had been killed and an island had to be ceded?
There is no such reason in the world...
"No matter what, cession is absolutely impossible. Even if the mediation ends this time and the Japanese fight to the last soldier, they can never sell the land given by their ancestors and gods!"
Sumo gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
"You are making it difficult for me..."
Fang Jun sighed and scratched his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, how about renting?"
"Lease?"
It was the first time that Sumamaris had heard that this word could be used in the land, so he asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Fang Jun explained: "Look, your country made a mistake in this matter, right?"
Sumarishi's eyes rolled and he could only nod. He couldn't admit it. He was caught and committed, and there was no way to deny it...
Fang Jun said: "So, your country should give Datang an explanation, and this explanation must be of sufficient weight and consistent with Datang's status and influence. Is this no problem?"
Sumama thought about it carefully and nodded.
People in the Tang Dynasty are not easy to bully. Now that they are knocking on their door, they can only hold their noses and give in...
Fang Jun touched his palms and said with a smile: "We have reached a consensus. Now that the foundation has been set, it is easy to talk about ceding Sado Island. Seniors think it is not possible. That is the land given to you by the God of Rizhao..."
"Amaterasu!" Sumamarisi corrected with a glare. This matter concerns gods and cannot be blasphemed.
"Yes, yes, this is a great god of Japan. I'm not sure about my official status... But that's not the point. The point is that you are unwilling to cede Sado Island, but other compensations are considered by the Tang Dynasty to be incompatible with status and cannot be shown. Your country’s sincerity, then Why not lease Sado Island to Datang, and Datang will pay some symbolic rent. In this way, Sado Island still belongs to your country, but in fact it is Datang who has stationed troops there. Isn’t it possible to get the best of both worlds and kill two birds with one stone? "< br>
Sumo thought about it and thought it was a good idea...
Anyway, now that the Tang army has occupied Sado Island, it is more difficult for them to withdraw than to snatch meat buns from a dog's mouth. Since Sado still belongs to the Japanese country, it is okay to let the Tang army rent it for a few years. Anyway, Sado Island has limited food production. , several silver mines are also suffering from mining difficulties, and the key is that silver is not valuable.
"How many years will Datang rent it? How much will the rent be?"
"Senior, what do you think...a thousand years?"
"Bang!"
Sumo lost his grip and hung the tea cup on the table, smashing it to pieces. He looked up at Fang Jun in shock: "You, you, you...how many years did you say?"
Fang Jun himself felt that it was a bit too much, and said with a smile: "A thousand years is too long, let's seize the day... How about five hundred years like this?"
Although I never celebrate Christmas, I still wish my brothers a Merry Christmas!
