Chapter 296
Although Murong Batian is ambitious, ruthless and tough in his pursuit of his goals, he can still distinguish right from wrong in the face of justice.
Although Murong Batian knew that Long Tian's intentions were not pure, he still chose to tolerate the invasion of the enemy country. As for the future, Murong Batian could not care about it for the time being.
"Order the Shunzhou garrison not to clash with Bai Qi, cooperate with Bai Qi to eliminate the Japanese pirates, and resist the attack of Xiao Jingyi and the Jingguo army at the same time."
"As for the cities occupied by Bai Qi, they will be temporarily returned to the North. After I contact Long Tian, I will make a decision based on the attitude of the North."
If we go to war with the North at this time, it will be extremely disadvantageous to Murong Batian. Murong Batian does not want to lose the big picture for the small and let Jingguo take advantage.
The people present were not surprised by Murong Batian's decision, mainly because they had the same hatred for Jingguo.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Linzhou in person and try to persuade Long Tian to maintain the status quo with us while jointly resisting Jingguo."
Ye Kang, the first person under the command of the Zhennan King, stood up.
"Okay, I'll trouble you this time."
To meet Long Tian, you naturally need a person of sufficient weight. In addition to Murong Zijin, only Ye Kang can fully represent Murong Batian.
At this time, Long Tian, who was in Linzhou, did not know that Murong Batian had sent someone. At this time, Long Tian was also receiving a group of uninvited guests.
After the loss of the Liang Kingdom's South Courtyard, the Liang Kingdom court was furious. On the one hand, it was actively preparing for war, and on the other hand, it also sent an envoy to the Xia Kingdom.
The situation of the Xia Kingdom was clear to the Liang Kingdom. These Liang people did not go to Kyoto, knowing that it was meaningless, but directly chased to Linzhou and found Long Tian.
Regarding the issue of the South Courtyard, you must meet Long Tian himself. Going to Kyoto or Zhenbei City is not very meaningful.
"Your Highness, the King of the North, our two countries should reconcile and restore order. Now that the Zhenbei Army has occupied the Southern Courtyard of Liang, it is not conducive to the friendship between the two sides. I hope Your Highness will consider it carefully. If you can withdraw the troops, you can gain the friendship of Liang."
"The situation in Xia is clear, and you have the opportunity to make further progress. At this time, with the support of Liang, it will surely be smoother. In the international community, your status can also be recognized at the first time. For you, the benefits are huge."
The person sent by Liang is a senior official of the court, Jinfeng, the chief of the Silijian who is in charge of foreign affairs.
National wars are laborious and costly, and the loss of the army is inevitable. If the Southern Courtyard can be taken back through negotiations, Liang is willing to give up some interests.
"Lord Jinfeng is wrong. The war in the South Courtyard was not provoked by our northern border. Our Zhenbei Army was just fighting back. The entire South Courtyard was obtained by the lives and blood of the soldiers. How can it be returned with just a few words from you?"
There is no benefit greater than a South Courtyard. Long Tian is very clear about this. As for the support mentioned by Jinfeng, it is even more nonsense. How can Long Tian care about other people's thoughts, especially from a hostile country.
Whether they recognize it or not, it doesn't matter to Long Tian.
"Your Highness the King of the North, the South Courtyard is extremely important to our Liang Kingdom. I believe you also understand that our country will never give up the South Courtyard. If you can't return the South Courtyard, a war between the two countries will be inevitable. In this way, there will be great losses to both countries."
"Now you are in a critical period. You should not want our Liang Kingdom to fight. This is very unfavorable for the restoration of the national strength of Xia."
Jinfeng's words are already threatening.
Xia has been in civil strife for a long time. According to normal people's thinking, it must be eager to restore the national strength.
Especially Long Tian, if he really won, he would definitely not watch the people of Xia Kingdom being displaced and would not want the war to continue.
It’s just that Jinfeng, Liang Kingdom, and even other countries don’t know that Long Tian doesn’t care about the recovery of national strength at all.
What is national strength? National strength is the foundation, the foundation of people’s lives, as well as military strength, economy, etc.
Long Tian has a system to solve all these things.
Infrastructure set (unlimited supply).
Vegetable seed set (unlimited supply).
Unlimited arrows (killing fifth-grade warriors)
Unlimited cotton and cloth.
A super coal mine (unlimited reserves).
Unlimited iron ore supply.
Unlimited edible salt (refined salt).
Five kinds of armor and weapons are unlimited (warrior level).
There are also rewards given by the Dangzhou, Yunzhou, Zhenzhou, and Huaizhou systems obtained later.
Unlimited wood supply.
A super silver mine (can be mined for ten years).
Improve the education system (10,000 cultural textbooks, 10,000 martial arts secrets, and 5,000 teachers at all levels).
One academy of sciences (500 basic material R&D personnel).
It can be said that Long Tian has sufficient reserves of daily necessities and does not need to worry about resources at all. With these, the lives of the Xia people will no longer be a problem.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and wars can no longer affect the foundation of Xia.
Not only that, Long Tian can also vigorously develop education and improve the overall ability of the Xia people, which is the foundation for the improvement of the entire Xia national strength.
As for the Academy of Sciences, it can make up for many deficiencies, such as papermaking, glass, clothing, food, etc., which will be more perfect.
With enough confidence, will Long Tian still be afraid of threats from other countries?
With the fundamental guarantee, Long Tian only needs to vigorously develop the military and resist all foreign enemies outside the country. If a war breaks out, Long Tian must take the initiative and push the battlefield into the enemy's territory.
"Lord Jinfeng, I'm afraid you'll have made a wasted trip. I never tolerate humiliation, and I will pay a high price for it."
"The South Court has targeted the North more than once. Now that it has been defeated, it must bear the consequences of failure. If you want to take back the South Court, please send troops to fight. I am never afraid of fighting."
"Okay, this is my final meaning. You can rest for a night and go back."
There is nothing to talk about. Long Tian is unwilling to waste time on these people. If they are not legitimate envoys, it would be impossible for these people to leave.
"Your Highness the King of the North, we can discuss this matter properly. You don't have to rush."
"Look, this is the sincerity that His Majesty ordered me to bring. Please read it. At the same time, I promise His Majesty that if you are willing to return the South Court, my court will send the fifth princess to marry you. From now on, Liang State will be your strong backing."
Seeing that Long Tian was unmoved, Jinfeng had to make conditions.
First, there was a huge gift list, which recorded in detail the price Liang was willing to pay. After that, Jinfeng proposed the idea of marriage.
Marriage, this is Liang's goal.
Liang was also aware of Long Dao's arrangement of a fiancé for Long Tian. Long Tian even went to Kyoto to snatch the seventh princess of Xia. These things made Liang mistakenly believe that Long Tian liked this.
This was considered to be a way to please him.
Another point is that as long as the marriage is achieved, Long Tian will be a generation lower in front of the Liang royal family, and many actions of Liang will become legitimate.
