"How can there be such a thing in this world?" The Mirage Emperor turned pale and looked at the news sent back from the Lions Empire, his hands trembling with anger.
He wants a dignified surrender now, and those damn bastards are not even prepared to give it to him! The Tang people! The Tang people... They bully people too much!
The final conditions offered by the Tang Empire were actually exactly the same as the conditions before the war started. This was also an unavoidable solution. Anyway, the Mirage Kingdom could no longer squeeze out the oil and water, so it was better not to squeeze out the money.
But it was impossible for the diplomatic department of the Tang Empire to come up with exactly the same conditions to make the world laugh at them, so the other party added a bunch of formal conditions.
These conditions don't seem to have much of a stake in it, they are just put forward to disgust people: For example, the Tang Empire requested that the commander-in-chief of the navy and army of the Mirage be punished because they promoted suicide attacks and used boats and planes to attack the Tang Dynasty.
Imperial battleship.
According to the Tang Empire, this was an extremely inhumane act! But the Mirage Emperor really wanted to scream: Why are you using all kinds of new bombs when the Mirage City is using all kinds of cluster bombs?
At that time, did you talk about humanity?
In addition, the Tang Empire also required that the Mirage Kingdom must hand over those who violated the convention by using landmines and water mines to be tried in public and punished with canonical punishment!
This is simply a slap in the face of the Mirage Emperor: If the responsibility is really to be held, wouldn't he, the king, be the culprit? If there is to be a trial, wouldn't he have to die?
Of course, in addition to this, there is another thing that makes the Mirage Emperor unbearable. For example, the Tang Empire requires that the capital of the Mirage Kingdom should no longer be called the capital, but must be called the Zhizong! This Zhizong is a newly invented term, specifically referring to
Of Mirage King City.
At the same time, the king of the Mirage Kingdom can no longer call himself a king, and the bullshit name Mirage King must no longer be called, and even the Mirage King can no longer be used.
From then on, the king of Mirage Kingdom will disappear from history, Mirage Kingdom can only be called Mirage Island, and the King of Mirage Kingdom can only call himself the owner of the island, with the title of Grand Duke.
In other words, Emperor Mirage changed from a king to a duke...if he met the king of Chu, he would even be shorter in status.
"Why do you think they added these things? Why? Just to take revenge on me, to take revenge on me?" Mirage Emperor's hand slapped on the message paper, which frightened Mirage Dabo, Mirage Wenxin and others.
He bowed his head and said nothing.
To be honest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the Mirage Emperor decided to sue for peace. Everyone could see that this war could no longer be fought, and surrendering at this moment might be the best outcome.
At least the Mirage State can keep a piece of land and no longer pose any threat to the Tang State. There is no need for the Tang State to annex the poor Beidao, and both parties can live in peace for a long time.
This time can be long until they all die of old age, so that they no longer have to bear the infamy of national subjugation.
But what no one expected was that the diplomatic department of the Tang Empire actually offered such a condition that made the Mirage Emperor extremely angry.
If you go to the throne, you can no longer use the title Mirage Emperor that has been used for hundreds of years... No one else would be able to bear this, right?
The king of Qi State and Zheng State did not dare to say that he did not want the throne even though he died. It is the most precious thing passed down by the ancestors. Who dares to give it up easily?
Well, even if some unscrupulous descendants said that they did not want the throne when they begged for peace, King Zheng and King Qi never said such words until their death.
In addition, it is necessary to provide the Tang Empire with 1 million prime-age labor force within five years, 00,000 per year. There will also be three years of output from the mines. There will also be free use rights to the Mirage Kingdom's ports. There will also be free use rights to the Mirage Kingdom's sea areas.
.
Finally, there must be a garrison of the Tang Empire on the North Island to ensure the safety of the Tang Empire’s assets and various facilities on the North Island.
The Tang Empire garrison on the North Island has diplomatic immunity and has the power to override local laws, which is almost equivalent to saying that they are superior to others.
All of this has turned Mirage into an "abnormal country", which has exploited everything in Mirage. In the next few decades, Mirage will completely become a puppet and puppet of the Tang Empire.
Domestic dog.
Rather than retaining such a so-called way of survival, it is better to die together now. Many ministers of the Mirage Kingdom present had such an idea in their minds.
Even if you die in battle now, it is better than living in humiliation until the end, and then being played to death by others without the ability to resist!
"Your Majesty! I don't think this condition is an ultimatum. We can talk to them and ask them to cancel some of its contents." Prime Minister Mirage Dabo saw that Emperor Mirage did not continue to speak for a while, so he began to persuade.
"Yes! Your Majesty! This is not the final treaty. We can still have a good talk with them and strive for..." Mirage friends also nodded in agreement with Mirage Dabo's words.
"Stop talking! I will never agree to some of these!" The Mirage Emperor interrupted the chatter of several ministers and stood up.
"Garrison troops on the North Island! This is absolutely unacceptable!" Mirage literary friends immediately said: "If we agree to this, how can our Mirage country have any dignity?"
"You can't go to the throne of His Majesty the Mirage Emperor! Even if you change the name to Mirage King, we can discuss it. What is the name of the island owner..." Mirage Wenxin was struggling with the matter of the Mirage Emperor's throne.
Mirage Dabo was very practical. He said to the Mirage Emperor who was trembling with anger beside him: "Your Majesty! This... I don't think Datang's side can give in too much. If we don't agree to anything, I'm afraid it will
It will make the Tang Empire angry."
"They have already hit me in the face. What can I do if I get angry again? Kill me? Kill me?" Upon hearing Mirage Dabo's words, Mirage Emperor immediately became furious.
He roared, so frightened that the three ministers quickly lowered their heads. Then he could only stop, because he also knew that the surrender at the moment would eventually happen.
If he persists, the other party may really kill him! Once he dies, just find a puppet among his sons, and any one of those terms will become a reality.
As long as he is alive, he may be able to refuse one or two. If the main island is really lost, and we can talk after going to the North Island, he probably won't be able to refuse even one.
But he just couldn't swallow this breath!
The Mirage Emperor, who clenched his fists with hatred, snorted, and then opened his mouth to order: "Go and talk! Let them talk! Tell them to do everything they can to reject all the above terms! Who can make them stop talking about it?
On one condition, I will reward him with a title!"
He hasn't lost Dingcheng yet! He still has time and can delay it! As long as he persists, he may get better conditions! At least, he firmly believes that this must be the case.
