Chapter eight hundred and twelfth scraping the ground
Chapter 812 Scraping the Ground
Duduo's face was bloodless, and Dujia kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. Looking at the smiling faces of the three Dugu people, why did Dujia think those three faces were so ferocious? Three million nine hundred taels of gold.
, what kind of concept is that? Even if it is pulled by a carriage, a four-horse carriage can carry up to 20,000 taels per carriage. Just the carriage alone requires 200. Duga originally thought that the Kingdom of Gaul would compensate 50
A series of peerless treasures such as ten thousand taels of gold and the national treasure are already a huge disaster, but compared with the Kingdom of Plantagenet, this is completely childish.
Duduo finally raised his head, tried hard to support his bloodless head, and said with trembling anger: "The army of the Celestial Empire has gone too far to bully others."
Xue Sha snorted coldly: "Too much bullying? If our dragon army had been defeated, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have been buried in the sea. Now we don't even have the qualifications to sit here and negotiate with you. It's too much bullying. When you sent troops to Austria
Why didn’t you think about this issue when you were in Busburg?”
Duduo was silent for a while: "We in the Plantagenet Kingdom will never succumb to any pressure!"
Xinke was furious and slapped the huge double-edged battle ax on the negotiation table with a loud bang. Duduo was shocked, thinking that Xinke was angry and wanted to kill people. At that time, his legs were weak. If he hadn't been sitting down
On the stool, he was probably so frightened that he fell to his knees.
Xin Ke said with a ferocious smile on his face: "Oh, really? I admire the courage and backbone of the Plantagenet Kingdom very much, but I must regretfully tell you that the same thing happened in Obsburg. They were also very talented.
A nation with integrity will not succumb to any external force. Of course, we did not let them succumb in the end."
Dujia quickly said: "Commander Xin, don't be angry, Your Highness Duduo is just talking." Then he turned to Duduo and said: "Your Highness, please don't provoke them immediately. There are 30 million people in Obsburg.
After being killed by them, your Plantagenet dynasty only has more than three million people, the army has suffered all casualties, and the remaining navy has all become prisoners. They can definitely do what they say."
Only then did Duduo realize how dangerous his situation was. Looking at the malicious looks in Dugu and the others' eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.
Especially when he thought that the Hetao army had been practicing landing exercises all day long these days, and was preparing large quantities of fresh water and other supplies near the port, Duduo was really panicked.
"Your Highness, don't doubt their courage. If you really fall out with them, they will definitely cross the sea without hesitation and then go and rob it themselves." Dujia said earnestly.
But when he said this, a sudden flash of light flashed in Duga's mind. If Xue Sha and others really led an army to kill the Plantagenet dynasty, then the genocide would be certain. Plantagenet is an island country, and the nearest country is its own Gaul.
It is impossible for the Kingdom and Hetao to station troops here. He will definitely auction the land like the Obsburg Empire. However, the starting price that can be paid now is because Constantine is too far away and the Latin Kingdom has too much to take care of itself, which means that Gaul itself is left.
Thinking of this, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Dujia's mouth. Why should he help the old bastard Duduo? Before this, the Plantagenet Dynasty and Gaul had a century-old feud. The biggest enemy of the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Gaul was Plantagenet.
The organized pirates of the dynasty. Wouldn't it be better if they could use the knife of Loop to destroy the Kingdom of Plantagenet? Not only would a powerful enemy be eliminated, but the territory could also be expanded to the sea.
He casually looked at the bloody killing of three people, but found that behind the smiling faces of the three people, their eyes were full of coldness. Duga suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If these people knew that he was taking advantage of them, who knew what they would do
Gaul will not be leveled directly.
Duduo is also a man who has matured with age. He found that Dujia was suddenly distracted and always smiled maliciously when looking at him. He was still confused at the time. In theory, Dujia should be on his side.
If the Chinese army stayed in Gaul for one more day, the loss of Gaul would be one more point. After thinking about it carefully, Duduo immediately understood what Dujia meant. He secretly greeted the women of Dujia's family in his heart, and the anxiety on his face became more and more serious.
Coming more and more prosperously.
"Three marshals, three million nine hundred thousand taels of gold, the amount is too large, please see if you can reduce it a little." Duduo said while tapping his fingers on the table.
The three people who were killed in the blood were all shocked. Just now, the old man looked half-dead, as if he was ready to cry for his father and mother to kill him if they forced him to do so. However, after a moment of thinking, he completely changed his mind.
If it were Feng Jing here, the gentlemanly commander of the Falcon Legion might hesitate and then reduce the number to 3.5 million taels of gold. However, it is Dugu and the other three who are here.
In the eyes of the three of them, it would be an idiot not to take advantage of them.
"Absolutely not possible. Does His Highness Duduo really think that our Chinese army is just a beggar and will be sent away with just a little bit? I can tell you unmistakably that my lord is very dissatisfied with our current actions. Hundreds of thousands
The army is staying in the distant Western Continent, and the daily material consumption is not a small amount. Moreover, the soldiers are very homesick, so they all hope to return to China as soon as possible." Xin Ke said with a ferocious face: "If Your Highness is still prepared to bargain and delay, then
Even if I can sit still, the soldiers below cannot sit still."
He made threats of violence and resorted to both soft and hard bloodshed, while Dugu responded to everything with a gangster face. Although the three of them had not discussed it beforehand, they were old brothers for many years after all. Just by looking at each other, they knew what the other party was up to.
Seeing that Duduo's face was extremely ugly, Xue Sha said without hesitation: "Your Majesty Duduo, our Dragon Legion has had a great response. Half of our comrades were buried in the sea with no bones left. If we don't give them an explanation, they will definitely not
Let's give it up. We have no grudge against the Plantagenet Dynasty, it's just because of your unnecessary challenge that makes our soldiers dissatisfied. In addition, so many brothers died in the battle. If we go back in such a dejected manner, where is the dignity of the Celestial Empire?"
Duduo cursed secretly. In the battle in the Gallic Strait that day, the Jiaolong Legion suffered very little losses, but his own side suffered a loss of more than 200,000 troops. It was just that Shenzhou was strong, so they said it was as much as they said. Anyway, there were no bones left, so naturally there was no way to find evidence.
.If they are angered, and there is a Gallic Kingdom with ulterior motives nearby, Plantagenet's situation will be dangerous.
In desperation, Duduo had no choice but to put down his dignity and face, and bargain with Hetao in a low voice, but no matter who the three people were who killed him, no matter what Duduo said, they just refused to let go. After arguing for a long time, Duduo had no choice but to finally
Agree to the requirements of the Hetao.
Thinking that Hawke and the 40,000-strong navy were still in the hands of the Dragon Legion, Duduo felt pain in his heart. If these soldiers and warships are not redeemed, then Plantagenet's national defense will be even weaker. I am afraid that the Chinese army has just withdrawn.
The army of the Kingdom of Gaul would march to the defenseless Plantagenet land. Therefore, Dodo had to lower his head and hope that Xue Sha and others could return these naval officers.
Hetao people have always believed that they will never spit out anything they eat. Uncle Dugu is even known as the best scum who has to dip some of the shit in front of him. The two sides are at odds with each other, and in the end Duduo
After agreeing to pay six hundred thousand taels of gold, Uncle Dugu finally nodded in agreement.
A total of 4.5 million taels of gold. Even though the Plantagenet Dynasty was founded by pirates and they were famous rich men in the Western Continent, they still couldn't get it. Duduo calculated on his fingers for a long time, even the gold ornaments inlaid in the palace
After all the calculations, the gold that can be taken out is still only 1.8 million taels.
Because the gap was too big, Duduo had to ask for payment in other ways. Dugu naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation. Plantagenet pirates are famous in the Western Continent. They robbed so many rare treasures that it is impossible to count them. And these things
According to Duduo's explanation, it was all piled in Gorse's treasury. In addition to Gorse's national treasure, Hetao did not hesitate to give Duduo an equivalent of 700,000 taels of gold. But even so, there was still
There is a gap of two million taels of gold.
Seeing Duduo looking like he wanted to kill himself by cutting his neck, the three people who killed him knew that this old man had been squeezed out by them, and I was afraid that the Plantagenet Dynasty only had so much money. In desperation, Duduo suggested that
More than ten islands around Plantagenet, including the naval base White Island, were put up as mortgages, and two large gold mines in the kingdom were lost.
His abacus was good. Anyway, the Chinese army cannot stay in the Western Continent for too long. Even if the gold mines and islands are handed over to them, how much can they loot? An army expedition of this scale is not easy.
Things. After this time, if no major accident occurs, the Chinese army may not set foot on the land of the Western Continent for a hundred years, and he can naturally ignore those accounts easily.
But unfortunately, he ran into the cunning Dugu and others. As soon as the treaty was signed, Dugu sold all these islands and gold mines to the Kingdom of Gaul. Duga hurriedly discussed with Ramofard, and they all agreed.
I felt that this was of great significance to the expansion of the Kingdom of Gaul, so I agreed without hesitation.
It's just that the Kingdom of Gaul just paid 500,000 taels of gold to Hetao, and they scraped together 1.2 million taels of gold. The remaining 800,000 taels of gold could not be filled.
Of course, China is a tolerant and understanding person. They kindly suggested that Ramofad use the treasures of Gaul to pay off his debts. They also suggested that Ramofad might as well auction the ownership of these islands first, and the kingdom
Although there is not so much gold, the local lords below do. It took ten days for Ramofard to deliver 1.5 million taels of gold and rare treasures worth 500,000 taels of gold.
When Xue Sha and others were in front of him, Dugu was surprised to find that apart from a valuable crown on Ramofad's body, even the agate green ring on his finger was missing.
Xue Sha said in surprise: "Your Highness, your ring? Didn't you say it was your family heirloom?"
Ramofard forced a smile and pointed to the carriage next to him: "It's lying there with more family heirlooms."
Xue Sha and the others immediately stopped talking. Even the thickest-skinned Dugu Yuming turned his head to the side. They never expected that they could actually squeeze the majestic leader of a country to this extent.
Later, Ramofard and Duga came to Dako to meet Haotian, and accidentally mentioned this matter. Haotian was also blushing at that time. Although he admired Dugu and others' methods of scraping the land, he still
This was obviously not the time to admire him. Without saying anything, he directly asked people to find out several heirlooms that Ramofad mentioned from the box, and after giving some other treasures, Ramofad was able to
The hands will not be bare except for the white knuckles.
Of course, Marshal Dugu is still in the Plantagenet Dynasty now. The Kingdom of Gaul is quite cooperative. At least when Xuesha and Xingeng were wandering around the palace, they found that the ears and necks of the ladies and maids were bare.
And they remember that when they first came here, their necks and earlobes were always shiny.
Dugu could not trust Duduo, a bad old man, and was afraid that he would cheat on the mortgaged treasures, so he followed Duduo to Plantagenet. Although he was crossing the strait, Dugu was not afraid at all, and he only had 500 soldiers with him.
These soldiers are not the bravest in the White Tiger Legion, but the ones who are best at estimating. Dugu is worried that Duduo is playing tricks on him. If he passes off a shoddy one as a good one, he will suffer a great loss since he has no professional talents.
As a result, the fate of the Plantagenet Dynasty was even more miserable than that of the Kingdom of Gaul. Dugu and the five hundred soldiers under his command made a calculation. Even the court officials of the centuries-old pawnshop could not compare. They bought precious furs by the pound, jewelry and jewelry.
They were purchased by gunny bags, rare jade objects were purchased by pieces, and calligraphy and painting cultural relics were purchased at scrap paper prices. Duduo almost cried at that time.
In Duduo's impression, Eastern China is the legendary kingdom of heaven. Their people are all polite and their culture has a long history. However, in front of Marshal Dugu, everything is just a cloud. You give him
Any notion of propriety, justice, shame, and moral cultivation are all nonsense. In the eyes of Marshal Dugu, there is only gold and rare treasures, and he decides the price of the treasures himself.
I still remember the first day that Marshal Dugu made an appraisal in person. It was in a beautifully decorated pavilion. Seeing Marshal Dugu lowering the price like this, a knight who was famous in the Plantagenet Dynasty couldn't stand it.
, named Hope duels with Marshal Dugu. Dugu was in a very good mood that day, and did not want to compete with this idiot who only had muscles. You must know that once Dugu makes a move, he will never hold anything back, in case he catches this idiot.
Chopped with a knife, the trouble caused by Plantagenet is secondary, and the bigger thing is ruining your mood.
So Marshal Dugu slowly walked out and stopped in front of a thick tree. He just punched him. The tree made a crackling sound and sawdust flew. He was actually interrupted by Dugu's punch. Such a fierce man, at that time,
Scared the knight until his legs were paralyzed, and then no one dared to challenge the authority of Marshal Dugu.
Amid everyone's boasting, Marshal Dugu showed off his subordinates by performing some of the most superficial martial arts in the East, such as Qinggong, floating on water, and chest-crushing boulders. At that time, he scared a large group of bumpkins who had never seen the world to death.
Of course, it wasn't just the knight who was so frightened that his legs were weak. Duduo was also breaking out in a cold sweat. He had long heard that the martial arts in Eastern China was quite magical. As the King of Plantagenet, there was naturally no shortage of masters around him.
, but not as magical as Dugu at all. So, in the next few days, Marshal Dugu completely enjoyed the treatment of the king of heaven. There were even many stupid young nobles who were ready to come to become his disciples.
Uncle Dugu did not refuse. After receiving a lot of apprenticeship gifts from the other party, he also generously taught them some of the most basic moves in the Hetao Army. Well, if you want to reach the level of Dugu just with this kind of three-legged cat kung fu, that is
It's impossible, but as long as you persist, your outer martial arts should still be very good, at least better than those uncivilized barbarians in the Western Continent.
However, there are exceptions. After a drunken meeting, a stupid young man came to see Marshal Dugu. He didn't know what kind of connection he had with him. Dugu accepted him as his disciple seriously and threw away a martial arts book he had written in boredom.
He learned a lot from his studies, but after he sobered up, Uncle Dugu only had a vague impression in his mind. Was that young man named Raphael or Nightingale?
But Marshal Dugu didn't have time to think about this problem at that time. The Dragon Legion was already preparing to return to Gaul. After making a lot of money, Marshal Dugu finally left. The nobles of the Plantagenet Kingdom were not to mention how happy they were to bid farewell.
, in the warm sea breeze, everyone's face was filled with tears.
Marshal Dugu saw that they were so reluctant to leave, so he generously said that he would stay a few more days. At that time, several people were so frightened that they fainted.
But no matter what, Marshal Dugu left. The warships of the Dragon Legion were loaded with gold, silver and rare treasures and slowly left the big island that they had ravaged for nearly half a month along the west wind. Also accompanying them was Jin.
King Duduo of the Quehua Dynasty, no matter what, he had to go to Dako to thank Haotian for his kindness in not killing. He himself also wanted to see what the most legendary emperor in the Chinese continent and the most powerful overlord in the world was like.
What a heroic and extraordinary person.
Before leaving, Dugu and He Bugui deliberately carved stones near the port and returned them: the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year 3192 of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the twenty-eighth day of the first month in the year 627 of the Chinese calendar, by the order of Emperor Haotian, our army chased the invaders thousands of miles away, stained with blood.
Huangsha. To the north is the Bingyang Ocean, annihilating the northern ice bandits in the ice fields. To the south is the South China Sea, slaughtering the barbarians in the southern frontier. Crossing the sea in the east, killing the Japanese bandits in Nara in the west, conquering the barbarians in the west, and raising the prestige of the Celestial Empire in the sea. Horse Whip Station
Pointed by the iron hooves. Pointed by the military front, it is invincible. From all directions, we are the only one who respects our emperor! His great achievements cannot be expressed in words, so I commemorate them with stone carvings!
"Your Majesty Duduo, I hope this stone tablet can stay here forever. This is my personal request, and I hope your Majesty can agree." On the battleship, Dugu looked at the smaller and smaller stone tablet and said with emotion.
.
Duduo responded quickly: "Since it is the Marshal's request, there is no reason why I should not agree. Marshal, don't worry, as long as the Plantagenet Dynasty is still there, this stone monument will always stand here."
Dugu looked at the blue sky silently and nodded casually. He didn't know if he heard the interpreter's translation.
