In the post house, Chun Yumin looked at a group of East Vietnamese officials with a sighing tone and a serious expression.
"Tell me, how can we talk to Daliang? Now that Hangzhou is stable, Daliang's next target is probably our East Vietnam?"
"Our country is not easy to bully. Our military strength exceeds 600,000, and we can fight!"
"That's not what you're saying. Daliang's combat effectiveness is too strong. Lin Man, Zhang Ye, and Wang Potian are all famous generals!"
"What a famous general of the generation, it's just a coincidence. If he meets me, General Dongyue, he may not be his opponent!"
"But Daliang's firearms are sharp, and there are also thunder cannons. News from the wealthy families in the southeast said that Zhaozhou and Mingzhou were all blown up by thunder cannons. In the face of such firearms, what advantage does our city in East Vietnam have? Can it withstand it?
How many rounds will it take? I think we still have to talk about it, and the court wants the same thing."
"I object. If we want to talk, we have to fight again. Otherwise, I will be killed for the sake of fish and meat. Don't we, Dongyue, even have the courage to fight a battle with Daliang?"
A group of people exchanged words with each other, but nothing was discussed. Instead, Chun Yumin's head was noisy.
With a bang, everyone fell silent and looked at Chun Yumin who was patting the table.
"..."
Everyone stopped talking. What do you mean?
Chun Yumin looked at everyone and said solemnly: "We are here to negotiate and test Daliang's intentions, not to quarrel. There is a quarrel in the court at home. Will Daliang continue to quarrel when we are here? What is the benefit to the country?"
"
"What can we do if we don't quarrel? There is no strategy. Daliang's troops have already arrived in Wenzhou. Those wealthy tribes in the southeast who can't bear the rubbish will definitely be wiped out in the spring of next year. By then Daliang's army will have reached the border between the two countries."
The situation is urgent.
The main reason is that the combat effectiveness of Daliang's army is too strong. With the help of firearms, the pattern of war has been completely changed.
The previous military combat model is no longer suitable for firearms combat.
When you have arranged your military formation, Daliang's artillery will come over. Originally, there was a Nan Tang who could help contain it.
But who would have thought that the Southern Tang court would directly sell his teammates.
Now Daliang can completely mobilize the troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty to join the eastern battlefield, or he can directly send troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty to East Vietnam to attack from both sides.
To sum up, Daliang now extended his chopsticks to Dongyue, and he could eat Dongyue with just one pinch.
In this case, there are not many options.
Seeing Chun Yumin's silence, some people couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I heard that Zhu Youde was so lustful that the Southern Tang Dynasty gave him a princess. We also have princesses in Dongyue... Why don't we give one as a gift?"
"Our princess is only thirteen years old!"
"What's going on? Just keep it for two years!"
"Your Majesty is very fond of you and will not allow it!"
"Being pampered means that it means something. What if Zhu Youde likes this kind of little girl!"
"..."
They were speechless, but these officials looked at each other and realized that if they could make Daliang give up the idea of attacking East Vietnam through marriage, it would be a good deal.
What if the emperor likes it?
Chun Yumin smiled bitterly and said: "I always feel that it is disrespectful to the country. We and the East Vietnam envoys have to rely on a thirteen-year-old girl to seek peace...Aren't you ashamed?"
"It's shameless, but what can be done? Daliang is strong and the Yan Kingdom in the north suddenly collapsed. What can I and Dongyue do?"
"..."
"Actually, you don't have to be a princess to talk!"
Chun Yumin looked at the person who had been silent!
"Master Lin is related to the Emperor of Daliang. Now that the daughter of the family has grown up, why not marry her in person? This time, the peace talks between Dongyue and Daliang will depend on you."
This man looked up with a wry smile. His name was Lin Fei. He came from the Hou Lin family in Nanhou, Dongyue Town. He was Zhu Youde's cousin.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, let your daughter marry the Emperor of Liang. What a good thing!"
"I think it's okay!"
"We really have to count on Mr. Lin for this negotiation. Please don't refuse."
Lin Fei was so angry that he vomited blood, but he was young after all. Seeing these people respecting him so much, he felt a little proud in his heart.
After all, he is Zhu Youde's cousin and a relative.
"Please do your best, sir!"
Chunyu Min smiled and said: "It is related to the fate of the country. I also ask Mr. Lin to convince Emperor Liang."
In the same hotel, Lin Changxin, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was receiving his good friend Wang Yuan.
"Did you hear that East Vietnam sent an envoy?"
While eating roast chicken, Wang Yuan said: "Those people are probably scared... What does Daliang mean?"
"How did I know that this kind of thing has anything to do with us?" Lin Changxin didn't care.
What he cares about now is how much money he still lacks to open a factory. Merchants from the capital went south to build factories, so Lin Changxin was tempted, but opening a factory requires a lot of money.
"Daliang's factory is so profitable, do you know that?"
Wang Yuan was stunned: "I know nothing, but Daliang is really happy to give money. I have made a lot of money recently!"
Wang Yuan is now specifically providing vegetables to the army in Daliang. He can dig them out from the land of the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty and give them two coins at random, and the troops who transport them to Daliang can exchange them for silver.
The Daliang Army gave me the banknotes from the Daliang Royal Bank, so there was no need to worry about depreciation.
"Is this factory really making money?"
"You don't know about high-end ethics. The supply exceeds the demand. I plan to build a factory. If there are female workers and masters of embroidery, it will be like picking up silver!"
Wang Yuan quickly wiped his mouth, and the roasted chicken no longer smelled good: "What can we do? The emperor of Daliang will not let us do it!"
"No, Daliang has rules in this regard. As long as you pay taxes, anyone can do it. Let's do it together. I'll get the land and the shuttle, and you'll get the people. How about it?"
"Now, since you can do it, what are you waiting for, man? We have plenty over there. It won't be a big deal for me to get some royal embroiderers from the palace."
Lin Changxin's eyes widened: "Do more. When the beams are hit later, those embroiderers won't be able to get them. Now that they have done it, they are our people. Ordinary embroiderers in Hangzhou are already worth a lot of money."
.”
"How valuable is it?"
"A person's monthly salary is thirty taels, how valuable is it?"
"Hiss... Brother, you have a lot to do. You are right. When the beam comes over, we won't be able to get those people even if we want to. They all belong to the emperor. If you get them now, they will be ours. Good business."
As for Daliang destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would happen sooner or later, and Wang Yuan didn't care at all.
The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty treated his family like that. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. They even knelt down and called them emperor.
I call you emperor and you still have to kneel down?
Now that you have shouted, don't say anything about kindness or not.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Can you help me get an official position in Daliang? Well, without an official position in Daliang, I am not calm now!"
"I haven't yet. How about I take you to see the emperor?"
"Is that okay? That would be great!"
Lin Changxin rolled his eyes: "You would believe it if I dreamed."
