The two sides sat down to negotiate, and several officials from each side accompanied the discussion.
It was very polite at first, but then it became an argument.
The two generals proposed ten important cities and hundreds of billions of taels of silver without giving in.
Xuan Tianshuo also insisted on ten billion taels of silver and five cities with ordinary border crossings!
Spit was flying on the negotiating table, and both sides were red-faced. Xuan Tianshuo and the two generals were drinking tea and listening to the negotiations between the two sides.
After more than an hour, it has not been settled yet. Both parties have only made small concessions, and neither of them is satisfied.
Normally, pre-war negotiations take at least several days, and sometimes a month, with constant negotiation and mutual communication.
The two generals were anxious to return to the court and planned to conclude the negotiations within three days.
And Xuan Tianshuo plans to finalize the matter tonight!
Xuan Tianshuo said to the two generals: "Two generals, why don't we talk in private."
Xuan Tianshuo has some things that cannot be discussed openly.
So the three people changed tents and discussed in a secret place.
As soon as Xuan Tianshuo sat down, he started talking to the two generals.
"If we give you ten cities and a hundred billion taels of silver, may I ask these two generals, whose pocket will these things end up in?"
Tianying and Jinlong were both stunned.
According to convention, the city will definitely be under the management of the imperial court, and the silver will definitely fall into the treasury.
General Jin Long said calmly: "Third Prince, what do you mean?"
Xuan Tianshuo smiled and said: "If the wise don't tell secrets, no matter how much money is on the negotiation table, it will not fall into the hands of two generals."
"So, as long as you two agree to my request, I can privately give you two five billion taels of silver!"
The two generals did not expect that Xuan Tianshuo actually wanted to do this. This was a blatant bribery to win over the two generals!
"I know the relationship between the two generals and Your Majesty. As far as I know, His Majesty Dayan is always wary of the two generals and wants to take advantage of this war to take away your military power."
"Now that you are working hard outside, you won't get much benefit when you go back. I will personally sponsor five billion taels of silver for you. Isn't it good?"
Xuan Tianshuo had already investigated the two generals before coming to negotiate.
Moreover, the Ghost Pavilion has been reporting to Xuan Tianshuo and the Daqian Dynasty over the years on some matters and the political situation of the Dayan Dynasty.
So Xuan Tianshuo planned to use this as a breakthrough to convince the two generals.
The two generals Jin Long and Tianying are already excited. After all, it is five billion taels of silver. For the national treasury, it is a large amount. For private individuals, it is an astronomical figure!
The two generals were thinking.
Xuan Tianshuo saw the hesitation of the two generals and said with a smile: "This matter must be finalized today. If you two don't agree today, the money may not be available tomorrow."
The two generals looked at each other and then nodded to each other.
General Jin Long said: "There is no problem with the silver matter, we can agree to it."
"But those ten cities were decided by His Majesty before we came and must be ceded. This is a necessary compensation condition, and we have nothing to do."
Xuan Tianshuo explained: "Although the ten cities you want are very important, if they really come into your hands, Dayan will not only have to send a large number of people to manage them, but they are also too far away, and there is a Xijin Empire in the middle. At that time, a lot of human and financial resources will be wasted, and there will not be much benefit."
"Although the five cities I gave you are peripheral cities, they are closely connected with the territory of the Xijin Empire."
"The Xijin Empire is a vassal state of the Dayan Dynasty. I, Dagan, can directly transfer those five cities to the Xijin Empire and hand them over to the Xijin Empire for management."
"Da Yan only needs to pay an extra tribute when the Xi Jin Empire pays tribute to you."
"Da Yan doesn't have to do anything and can get wealth every year. Why not?"
Xuan Tianshuo said, took out a map and pointed out the geographical locations of all five cities.
After detailed conversations, both generals believed that Xuan Tianshuo's method was the correct one and would bring greater benefits to the Great Yan Dynasty.
But the two generals were thinking, would they agree now? Were they convinced by the other party's few words?
With the intention of striving for greater benefits for Dayan.
General Jin Long said: "Five cities are too few. Let's take a step back. Look at the three cities here on the map that can be divided for us."
General Tianying nodded and said: "Yes, these three cities are not big cities. They are divided among us, a total of eight cities. This way, we can easily communicate when we return."
The two wanted three more cities.
Xuan Tianshuo did not agree. He had previously issued a military order in front of the court, no more than five cities.
"Let's do this. I'll give you two more one billion taels of silver, and you won't want these three cities. Don't embarrass me."
"Of course, we can also make peace with the Great Yan Dynasty to show our sincerity."
When the two generals heard about one billion taels of silver, their eyes lit up.
Coupled with the conditions for marriage, there is no problem.
General Jin Long asked: "I wonder which princess you are planning to send over for marriage?"
Xuan Tianshuo had already planned to say: "This time, Your Majesty, I am going to send the princess to marry Prince Dayan."
Under normal circumstances, the identity of the person whom Your Majesty wants to marry must be a princess. If there is no princess, a princess can do it, and the princess can also be promoted to a princess.
There must be a princess in the Daqian Dynasty, and Xuan Tianshuo's plan will not send the princess there.
The princess's marriage partner must be the prince.
General Tianying asked: "I wonder which princess it is?"
Xuan Tianshuo said something shocking: "To be honest, the princess we are marrying this time is my daughter, Princess Xuanyu."
"Princess Xuanyu has been in the Great Yan Dynasty and is very familiar with everything about Dayan, so it is best for Xuanyu to marry her."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two generals immediately understood.
Xuan Yu is from the Ghost Pavilion. After the Ghost Pavilion was destroyed, Xuan Yu was arrested by His Majesty's order and placed under house arrest in the palace.
On the surface, Xuan Tianshuo is getting married, but in fact, it is to make Xuanyu righteous in Dayan, and to save his daughter!
There was no problem in agreeing to this matter, but the two generals already knew that the second prince was going to proclaim himself emperor.
But the two pretended not to know.
Besides, if the prince ascends the throne, there is no problem in marrying the new emperor.
Now, the two generals just want to get what they want!
Next are issues related to trade and economics.
Today, Dayan can produce its own salt, and plans to export the salt to all parts of the world.
The largest national economic pillar of the Daqian Dynasty was the export of salt, and the salt of Dayan was several times better than that of the Daqian Dynasty in terms of both quality and price.
From now on, Daqian can only export salt to small countries, and the business of Dayan and Dakang can no longer be done.
Because of the salt business, Dayan is also preparing to start it.
Importing and exporting to small countries depends on their own abilities.
Various other aspects of trade were also discussed.
The negotiations between the two parties were finalized and the documents were signed!
