Peace is always fought, not negotiated. Compared with words, the Great Eater is obviously more willing to believe in the scimitar in his hand. As for the Tang Dynasty, as the most powerful country in the world in this era, it is obvious that he is not
Exception, the negotiation between the two countries is naturally not a worry-free matter, not to mention that among the negotiators sent by Datang, there is Yuan Wanqing who is eager for the negotiation to break down immediately. The talks have not even started yet, and the smell of gunpowder has begun.
It's already very serious. Just looking at the serious faces of the participants on both sides, you can tell that this negotiation is destined to be extremely heated.
"Let's get started."
Although Li Xian has the important responsibility of presiding over negotiations, he will never lower himself to sit with a group of officials to argue over each other. In any case, the identity of the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty still needs to be paid attention to. Therefore,
Li Xian just sat high on the front porch of Ganlu Hall, looking at the officials from both sides attending the meeting with great interest. After a long period of silence, he waved his sleeves leisurely and announced the peace talks lightly.
start.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, everyone, my country, the Great Food Empire, has always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty. We have constant trade exchanges with each other and there has been no conflict. However, the Tang Dynasty brazenly sent troops to attack our country. How is it possible?"
Although humility is also included in the teachings of the Great Cannibal, it is nothing more than selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. The Great Cannibal has always used a scimitar to speak externally, even if this time it was due to defeat in the war.
During the negotiations with the Tang Dynasty, his arrogant personality did not show any restraint. No, just as Li Xian finished speaking, a Dashi negotiator stood up impatiently and loudly accused the Tang Dynasty of arrogating to himself in Arabic.
The beginning of the war.
"Xiang Wu conflict? I'm afraid that this envoy's head is broken and his memory is so bad. Anyway, I will give you a reminder. In the 21st year of Zhenguan, your country brazenly raised troops to attack Persia. I, Mr. Tang
The emperor issued an edict, ordering your country to stop its troops, but you ignored it. This is a sign of contempt for the evil deeds of the Tang Dynasty. Furthermore, in the sixth year of Xianqing's reign, your country's troops sent troops to Tochar and killed the Persian royal family. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,
I once again issued an edict to condemn you, but your country still ignored it. You have repeatedly provoked the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, which is already a capital crime. Now our army has conquered the Persian homeland, which is an act of obedience to nature. If I had not cared about your country, I would still have regrets.
, I have wiped out all of you long ago. If you don’t act according to the requirements of the Tang Dynasty, the whole country will be wiped out before your eyes!"
There were five people from each side actually participating in the negotiations. In addition to Li Xian, the Tang Dynasty also included Honglu Temple Qing Yuan Wanqing, Rites Minister Lin Mingdu, Zuo Xiaowei General Liu Ziming, Prince Sheren Fang Luting and Xin.
Wang Fangming, the chief guest officer of the Jin Rites Department, four of them are officials from the prince's line. Only Yuan Wanqing is a die-hard rear party member, and he has the most aggressive personality. As soon as the official of the Dashi finished his words, this one Yuan Wanqing
After listening to the interpreter's translation, the first one jumped out and refuted the words of the Dashi official unceremoniously. His words were firm and powerful, but what was his intention?
It's doubtful.
"Master Yuan, what you said is too much. At that time, the Persian royal family preyed on the people and poisoned the people, causing the sky to be angry and resentful. I, the great food empire, went to conquer it. It was under the guidance of the true god that I saved all the people from the water and fire. Now the people in this land are all suffering.
Inspired by the true God, I no longer suffer the pain of oppression, which shows that what I have done is an act of obedience to nature and people. However, your country has brazenly raised troops to invade our territory, massacre prisoners of war, and destroy my homeland. I am afraid that it is inconsistent with what your country pursues.
Isn’t it worthy of forgiveness?”
After all, Mua Via Aben had spent a lot of time in the Tang Dynasty, and his writing skills were quite good. Of course, these words were probably not thought up by him, but had been written by him beforehand.
What the wise men of the country had discussed was just expressed in Chinese.
"Absurd! You dare to confuse right and wrong, go to other countries to kill people and set fires, but you say you are saving people. Are you really deceiving me that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty? To be honest, I know that if your country sincerely seeks peace, there will be peace.
Talk, if you continue to quibble, don't blame me, the Tang Dynasty, for sending a large army to defeat you all in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Wanqing was only thinking about sabotaging the peace talks. Not to mention that what Mua Via Aben said was unreasonable. Even if it was reasonable, he would not pay attention to it. He would insist on being tough and resort to force without hesitation.
The threat was as if the military power of the Tang Dynasty was in his hands.
"Master Yuan's words are so unreasonable. How can our Dashi Empire be afraid of war? Today, our Dashi Empire's 500,000-strong army has already been assembled. If we really want to fight, we can send troops in an instant. The reason why we don't fight first is because
It's nothing more than caring about the past friendship between our two countries. If your country is willing to withdraw its troops, everything still needs to be discussed. If not, our army will arrive in the morning and evening to pacify Persia, and it will only be a matter of a snap!"
Yuan Wanqing's arrogant attitude was really disgusting, and it immediately aroused the anger of Dashi officials. As soon as the interpreter finished speaking, he saw a Dashi general rising up with emotion, and retorted Yuan Wanqing without any sign of weakness.
, this man turned out to be Mohammed Suben Hussein who had fought against the Tang Army.
"Hahaha..., what a joke, what a big joke! You, the weaklings, dare to pretend to be a large army. The first time, 150,000 people were wiped out in one battle. Now, even if there are more, they are nothing more than fish belly.
, Hehe, if you don’t want to destroy the country, then just follow my instructions from the Tang Dynasty. If not, then there is no need to talk anymore!”
Yuan Wanqing has always been an arrogant person, and now with the support of Empress Wu, he was able to serve as the deputy envoy of negotiations. He performed a one-man show without hesitation, not giving other colleagues a chance to speak, and his words were extremely arrogant.
Dashi drove him to death.
"Master Yuan has invited me. I don't know what your country's requirements are. Could you please tell me a few things?"
After listening to the interpreter's translation, everyone in Dashi and the meeting was furious. However, Yezid Ibn Abu was very calm and did not respond to Yuan Wanqing's words, but asked calmly.
"It's very simple. There are only three rules. First, the leader of your country must come to Chang'an in person and confess his guilt to us, the Tang Dynasty. Second, your country must bow its head and proclaim itself a vassal. Come to court every year and pay tribute year after year. Third, you must pay tribute every year.
During the war, all the losses suffered by our country, the Tang Dynasty, must be fully compensated by your country! Apart from this, our country, the Tang Dynasty, has nothing to discuss with your country. If you don’t accept it, we will see you on the battlefield!"
Yuan Wanqing was one of the first officials to surrender to Empress Wu. However, after more than ten years of work, he still failed to make a big name. The problem lies in his arrogant personality. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to Hong Kong.
Living in a Qingshui yamen like Lu Temple, I finally got the opportunity to show off to Empress Wu. Naturally, I worked very hard. Not only did I not let the colleagues present at the meeting interrupt, but I didn't even let the prince Li Xian go.
Asking for instructions, he proudly revealed the "Yuan San Tiao".
"Arrogant!"
"absurd!"
"nonsense!"
…
After listening to the "Yuan Three Articles" relayed by the interpreter, all the food officials became angry, their faces turned livid, and they all started to curse.
"Um!"
Yazid Ibn Abu was also very angry by the so-called "Three Yuan Articles", but he did not get angry. Instead, he raised his hand to stop the roar of his men and did not look at Yuan Yuan.
Wanqing's triumphant face turned sideways solemnly, bowed towards Li Xian who was sitting high on the front porch, and said in a calm tone: "May I ask the prince of the Tang Dynasty?"
Your Highness, are these three points your original intention?"
Haha, what a good boy, he actually defeated our army, interesting!
Today is just the first day of negotiations. It was impossible to achieve anything great. Li Xian did not intend to speak. He just wanted to watch the show. The situation will change tomorrow and in the next two days. The current negotiation is nothing more than a negotiation.
It was just a monkey trick, just watching, but he didn't expect Yezid Ibn Abu to suddenly kick the ball to his feet, which really made Li Xian smile.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, since you and I are negotiating, naturally we each have our own reasons. Can everything be put on the table for negotiation? What do you think?"
Although Yezid Ibn Abu's move was sudden, how could he catch Li Xian? However, seeing Li Xian smile gently, he replied ambiguously, and gently and deftly sealed the ball again.
The ground moved back to Yazid Ibn Abu's side.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said it well. I have three terms. First, the Tang Army must withdraw unconditionally. Second, the Tang Army must unconditionally release our detained soldiers and people and compensate for all our losses. Third, please.
The country has handed over the Persian rebel Ni Nirvana to us; if we are allowed, our Great Food Empire is willing to make a bloody alliance with the Tang Dynasty and make peace forever. If not, with swords and soldiers together, this world may never have peace again!"
Yezid Ibn Abu's personality was obviously extremely tough. Even though he knew that the national and military power of the Great Food Empire was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, he would never bow his head easily. Instead, he very toughly proposed three tit-for-tat plans.
Terms.
"Be bold, the defeated army can speak out bravely!"
"Be bold!"
"How dare you be so rude as a small barbaric country!"
…
As soon as Yezid Ibn Abu's three clauses came out, not only Yuan Wanqing was furious, but Liu Ziming and others who had always been silent could not help but become furious, and they started to shout and reprimand.
"Um!"
Although Li Xian didn't care much about the outcome of the first round of negotiations, he didn't want the negotiations to end on an unhappy note as soon as they started, so he calmly pressed his hands to stop the officials from roaring, and looked at him with a straight face.
Yezid Ibn Abu glanced at it and said: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you and I have our own limits. Now we have serious differences. We might as well adjourn the meeting first and discuss it separately before continuing. I wonder what Your Majesty the Crown Prince thinks?"
"What His Highness said is true, and I also have the same intention, so I will leave first."
Regardless of Yazid Ibn Abu's previous tough attitude, in fact he could not afford the consequences of the breakdown of negotiations. After hearing what Li Xian said, he was happy to go along with the flow and did not say anything more.
After saying a few words, he led a group of subordinates and left...
