Chapter eight hundred and seventh land enfeoffment
Chapter 807: Land Enfeoffment
"Quiet!" Haotian's voice was low, but everyone immediately fell silent. It was obvious that while they were discussing, they had also been paying attention to the most terrifying iron-blooded devil in the history of the Western Continent.
"So, we are going to declare war on the Western Holy Cult. We will send troops to the Latin Kingdom to pull Pope Tufei Accord out of the Papal Palace in Nabrus. You can organize an army to go to the rescue, but let me warn you first, this time it will be absolutely impossible.
It’s different from before.”
Everyone started talking. If it was in the past, they would definitely organize an army to defend the Holy See without hesitation, but now, after seeing the power and terror of Haotian, especially since they had verbally criticized the Holy See just now, they are naturally shaken now.
A country as powerful as Obsburg was easily destroyed by the Loop. With their own strength to defend the Holy See, could they stop the Chinese army? Everyone doubted this.
"Fourth, the Kingdom of Plantagenet has repeatedly ignored the warnings of our country and repeatedly participated in our wars with Obsburg. In the battle of the Gallic Channel, more than 10,000 of our soldiers died innocently. Therefore, for Plantagenet
Dynasty, we must not let it go."
Dujia's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Unexpectedly, China was still preparing to send troops to the Plantagenet Dynasty. The life and death of Plantagenet had nothing to do with him, but hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao stayed in the Kingdom of Gaul, with food, grass and daily consumption.
Not a small one
In addition, the total strength of the Gallic Kingdom is only about 250,000, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of Hetao. Thinking that the Latin Kingdom of China could kill 20,000 cavalry and abandon its armor, Prince Duga has no idea about the strength of his country.
Have no hope.
The key is that China seems to hate betrayal. Shenzhou is very angry at his country's double-dealing behavior. He can't imagine how long he can resist if the Chinese army takes advantage of the situation to take over the Kingdom of Gaul.
"The last thing is the division of the territory of Obsburg. We have no intention of going to war with Obsburg. You must be very clear about this. But they shamelessly attacked our army and left tens of thousands of our Chinese soldiers in vain.
He died on the battlefield, and we sent troops to Obsburg purely for revenge. We have no interest in such a vast land."
Haotian paused deliberately, and sure enough, the eyes of the princes below suddenly lit up. Since China has no interest in this place, and Obsburg has been destroyed, who will give this place to? So, everyone
His eyes widened, and when he looked at Haotian, his eyes were so hot that even Haotian couldn't help but shudder.
Haotian still thinks it's best to throw this hot potato to Luo Xiang. Luo Xiang's ruthlessness is even greater than that of Dugu. I believe that with him personally handling it, these princes and lords will definitely have their gold buttons scratched off their clothes.
But just as he stood up, someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Haotian, please slow down."
"Who?" Haotian slowly sat down and asked as he looked at a man in rich clothes who stood up in the crowd.
He didn't know who this person was at all. In Haotian's eyes, these people in the Western Continent seemed to be exactly the same, with high noses, white skin, blue eyes, the same tall cows and horses, and the same - ugly. But look
This person's temperament is very different from ordinary people. He should be a person who is used to giving private orders, so Haotian decided to give him a chance.
The nobles around him obviously knew who this man was, and they all gasped and stepped aside. A blank area with a diameter of one meter suddenly formed around the man.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the Duke of Dominia, Minister of State of the Empire of Obsburg."
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Haotian's mouth: "So you are from Obsburg, what are you doing here?"
"This is our territory in Obsburg. As the minister of state of the empire, there is nothing wrong with me coming here, right?" Dominia said tit for tat. His back was straight, and there was no trace of gray hair.
Not messy, his eyes are quite sharp.
Haotian smiled brightly. Domenia, did he really think that this was the era when Obsburg would dominate the Western Continent? He did have the confidence at that time, but now, there are only three or four hundred thousand left in Obsburg.
He was lingering in Qinke City. If he wanted to, he would only need three days at most to capture Qinke. Even so, he was still arrogant in front of him.
"Then let me tell you that the Obsburg Empire no longer exists. Maybe you will say that you are still holding on in the city of Chenko and that you will fight to the end, but I can tell you clearly that you have no hope. Austria
Busburg must be killed to death." Haotian said slowly.
Dominia's expression changed. He was naturally very clear about Qenko's current situation. Prince Mehironi did not expect that the Hetao offensive was so fierce, so he retreated to Qenko in a hurry, and Qenko
It was not a fortress in the first place, and the food reserves and strategic materials in the city were quite limited. The embarrassed escape of Nicholas II and Suganev only intensified the consumption of food in the city. Even if there is no need for the Chinese army to attack, Qinko will
Can't hold on for long.
He came to seek peace. He originally expected to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, but looking at Haotian's lazy smile, he immediately understood that he was terribly wrong. At that time, Orb had millions of soldiers and the support of the entire Western Continent.
Haotian didn't even pay attention to the Fort Empire, let alone a group of bereaved dogs that were just living on their last legs?
Dominia realized his mistake, quickly corrected his tone, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you have killed enough people, and we have also realized our mistakes. There is a saying in China that enemies are easy to solve.
It is not appropriate to end the war. Our Majesty hopes to have an armistice with China."
Haotian laughed: "A truce? It's really funny to say it. If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to stop, you can stop. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? At the beginning, we wanted to make peace with you, Obsburg, but you said
If you want land, I, Haotian, will cede the northwest of Sashan, equivalent to one-sixth of your Obsburg territory, to Nicholas II without hesitation. You say
If you want gold, I, Haotian, gave me 400,000 taels of gold without hesitation. 400,000 taels, which is equivalent to the eight million gold coins of your Western Continent. As a result, you actually refused to acknowledge the money after receiving the money. If we hadn’t been prepared, I, Hao Tian,
The sky has now become a withered skeleton on the battlefield. Now your Majesty is so merciful that he wants to cease the war, haha, isn't this ridiculous?"
Dominia said bitterly: "Your Majesty, we made a big mistake and offended your majesty. However, we have paid a sufficient price and you have gained enough benefits. Isn't that enough?
?”
Hao Tianhuo stood up and said with a sneer: "The lives of our soldiers in the Celestial Dynasty and the dignity of our Chinese Empire must be defended with blood! If the 50,000 soldiers of the Canglang Army were completely wiped out on an open and honest battlefield,
, I, Haotian, will not say anything. But they died due to your treachery and conspiracy. You, and all of you, had better remember these words of my Haotian clearly: Anyone who violates the power of my heaven will be punished.
No matter how hard you search the world, you will definitely be punished! Anyone who insults the holy name of my Heavenly Dynasty will definitely be punished with the strength of my life! Anyone who touches my Haotian's reverse scale will be punished even if the rivers and mountains are washed with blood! You'd better kill these people
I remember clearly in a few words, Sashan, Obsburg, and that bullshit principality of Xijiaqi, because they have offended the majesty of our celestial dynasty, we must exterminate them!"
Dominia said painfully: "Your Majesty Haotian, of the 30 million people of Obsburg, there are only more than 300,000 people left in the city of Chenko. Please leave us a piece of your blood.
We will definitely vigorously promote the benevolence and righteousness of China in the future."
"Where does all this nonsense come from! Dominia, I remember that in the Obsburg Empire, you were the one who resolutely took the lead in the war. What you said in China is good, so you should have heard this sentence: Cut the grass without eradicating the root.
, the spring breeze blows again. The benevolence and righteousness of the Celestial Empire is not towards its enemies, but towards its friends. Just like the three kingdoms of Constantine and Burgundy, they stood firmly on our side, so they Constantine
Ding can obtain about one-fifth of the land of Rococo to the east of the Elbe River and south of Obsburg. The three Burgundy countries can also obtain fertile land five times the area of their own countries to the west of the Elbe River. Go back and tell Nicholas
With Suganev, we will not stop like this." Haotian shouted coldly: "Not only you, but also Gaul, Plantagenet, the Latin Kingdom and the Western Saints, etc., we will not give up like this.
Since you have the guts to offend our majesty, you must be mentally prepared and strong enough to withstand our revenge."
Prince Duga of the Kingdom of Gaul and Duke Boya of the Latin Kingdom suddenly broke out in cold sweat. The envoys from the Western Holy Cult and Plantagenet did not come, otherwise Haotian's words would have reached their ears soon.
Dominia was driven out of the tent with a pale face. If his temper had been as before, Haotian would have killed him with one knife. But now, he decided to let him go. He wouldn't live long anyway.
The princes and local lords below were also in a daze. Although Haotian had spoken beforehand, if Haotian ordered them to be killed in a rage, they would have no power to resist at all.
Prince Duga knelt down on the ground, ignoring the disdainful and doubtful looks around him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, our country should not have been bewitched by the Pope, nor should it have been shaken, and it was so rebellious that it sent 20,000 soldiers and the Celestial Army.
Confrontation. We have realized our mistake and hope that His Majesty can give us a chance."
"you say!"
"We are willing to pay five hundred thousand taels of gold as war compensation. Our royal capital has the oldest museum in the Western Continent, which contains countless rare treasures and exquisite cultural relics. I heard that Your Majesty is very interested in the cultural relics of our Western Continent.
For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we are willing to donate all these things to China." Duga said in a trembling voice: "The Chinese army wants to conquer Plantagenet, and our Gaul is a place that must pass through. We are willing to pay for the army.
All daily needs are consumed. We have several good ports on the west coast, which can completely stop the Chinese dragon navy."
Haotian looked at Prince Duga with his head on the ground with great interest, and suddenly laughed and said: "Duga, stand up first. Haha, do you know that it is because of your kneeling that you have sacrificed for the Kingdom of Gaul?"
A war saved!"
Dujia stood up in surprise and said expectantly: "Your Majesty, do you agree?"
Haotian's face was full of smiles. He was really happy. He didn't expect Dujia to be so understanding. Looking at Luo Xiang, Luo Xiang also nodded.
"Contribute your national treasure to show respect for our country!" Luo Xiang said with a smile.
Dujia hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No problem."
Haotian took over the conversation and said: "Since you are so sincere, let's do this. Augsburg does not value the navy. All the islands in the sea to their west and northwest will be given to you by the Kingdom of Gaul. Although the area is not large,
But it’s better than nothing.”
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!" Dujia kowtowed quickly. He never expected to gain anything. As long as China did not hold Gaul responsible, he would be satisfied. As for these unexpected islands, it was really an accident.
Obsburg does not pay attention to the navy, but its strong national power makes no one in the surrounding countries dare to covet these islands. The navy of the Plantagenet Dynasty has been basically eliminated, and it still faces punishment from China. Duga seems to have seen Gao
The slow rise of the Lu Kingdom.
The princes of the surrounding small countries were immediately jealous. The area of Obsburg is equivalent to one-third of the area of China, which is wider than the Sixteenth State of Youyun. Although these islands are only a small area in the eyes of Obsburg
Territory. But they didn't think so. At least the combined area of these islands was equivalent to ten times their country. Seeing Haotian's generosity, they all knelt down and kowtowed crazily.
They didn't understand anything else, but what Haotian said just now was still very clear: Prince Dujia won the favor of China because of his outstanding kneeling skills.
Luo Xiang also knew that it was time to take action on his own. So he coughed and slowly recounted what he and Haotian had said at the beginning. The western territory of Obsburg was divided into two hundred and fifty parts.
Each of the one hundred and thirteen principalities and local lords can purchase one share, and the remaining one hundred and thirty-seven territories are sold at auction. Of course, considering that money is tight in various countries now, Luo Xiang is very generous
They are allowed to repay it in fifty years. The selling price of each piece of land is one hundred thousand taels of gold, which is two million gold coins. Since it is repaid in fifty years, taking into account the annual inflation, two thousand two thousand gold coins need to be repaid each year.
A hundred taels of gold will do.
"Sir, let them pay the pure gold directly. Their gold coins are mixed with a lot of silver. We will still need to smelt it ourselves, which is troublesome." Haotian said in a low voice.
Luo Xiang understood, so he explained it in detail. Of course, Shenzhou does not force the sale to everyone. If he feels that he does not have the financial strength and does not want to buy it, Shenzhou will never force it. There will always be people willing to buy it anyway.
China has its own plans, but the princes of the principalities below are not idiots. If we follow Haotian's equal division method, the land to the west of the Elbe River, even if we exclude the parts of the Burgundy Three Kingdoms, the area of each share is still equivalent.
The largest land area in China is equivalent to two times the area. The smallest land area is only a small city. One area is equivalent to ten or even twenty times the size of their city-state.
"Buy, of course!" The Grand Duke and the lords were all crazy. Anyway, it was an installment payment. They only needed to pay less than 50,000 gold coins per year. And they only needed to sell these lands to the nobles in the country, which would probably be no less than this.
Numbers, and you can also collect a lot of taxes. Besides, if you buy early, you can grab the richest places.
Especially those more powerful principalities, they are already considering where to entrust their land and how many pieces of territory they need to purchase.
Luo Xiang suppressed everyone's passion and slowly described the idea of establishing a loose federation. The people below listened with rapt attention. They were not idiots, and they all knew how much benefit they would have from establishing such a federation. Therefore, they were not idiots.
Everyone also raised their hands in approval.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Haotian specifically called Constantine's General Nito and the lords of the Three Kingdoms of Burgundy, and asked several people about the search for gold and silver jewelry in Long En and other places.
Obsburg is the overlord of the Western Continent, and its economic strength is unprecedentedly prosperous. Nicholas and others are in a hurry to escape, so naturally they cannot take anything with them. Therefore, according to Luo Xianghe Xuanji's judgment, these properties should still be left in Long En's
Among the ruins of the royal palace.
"Four of you, I speak more directly, and I also like to do things cheerfully. These things are our spoils of war, and the rewards we give you are enough. If anyone dares to bully and hide in the middle, don't blame us for being rude.
." Haotian said calmly.
Nito and others were sweating profusely. Especially the cleaning work in Nito, Longen and other places was mainly done by Constantine. Nito was really scared of being beaten by the river, and he remembered that he had written a letter
Ten thousand cavalrymen easily defeated several times his troops, not to mention that the troops now available to China were often hundreds of thousands. If they felt that Constantine was not obedient enough, it would not be difficult to defeat Constantine directly.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will never hand over any penny to China." Nito said quickly.
Xinji stood next to Nito after not knowing what was going on: "General, those scattered things should be considered as hard work for the soldiers. But the gold and silver in the Obsburg treasury and the exquisite works of art in their country
I hope you can understand this yourself. My mistress is very interested in the art of the Western Continent, but she did not come this time, so I hope we can bring some back."
Facing the letter, Nito was even more nervous than facing Haotian. It was this fierce man who ruined his reputation as a victorious general. In the battle of Nabrus, 20,000 cavalry defeated the 120,000 troops of the Latin Kingdom. If it hadn't been for them
If we don't want to start a war with the Latin Kingdom, I'm afraid we'll take down the Blues as well.
Fortunately, he was defeated at the beginning, so he realized the strength of China, and later he unswervingly supported the Chinese army, so he was not as unlucky as those in the Latin Kingdom.
