Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 669 The conditions are more stringent

Not only is the military expenditure gone, but the Liao land that originally belonged to the Xin Song State will also be allocated a part of the land to the Xinsha State.

Moreover, if the Xinsha Kingdom sent troops to assist the Xin Song Kingdom in attacking the Liang Kingdom, they would have to pay for the military expenses of the Xinsha Kingdom.

When he saw these clauses, Xiao Tou was stunned.

No matter which one of these terms is, it is unbearable for the Xinsha Kingdom that has just occupied the Koryo region.

"Mumbai envoy, the conditions in the credentials are too harsh. Are you trying to take advantage of the fire in Xinsha?"

Mumbai glanced at Xiao's head, and said coldly: "Patriarch Xiao, what you said is wrong. We cooperated with you before, and the situation at that time was different from the current situation. So the conditions in the credentials are naturally the same. It's not the same. I know the above conditions are harsh, but for the new Song Dynasty, the elimination of the Liang State is the most important. Otherwise, once the Liang State knows about your occupation of the Koryo region, they will definitely send a large number of troops to destroy you When the time comes, you will be alone."

When Xiao Tou heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Mumbai's words are not without reason.

He has recently received some news that there are traces of mobilization of the troops in Liao and Xixia, and even the garrison in the Jiangnan area has left their garrison and headed north.

It seems that Wu Tian should have noticed something.

But if this credential is signed, it will be far more humiliating than the previous credential.

Xiaotou really didn't want to do such a thing. The New Song Kingdom gave up so many benefits before the city. How would he face the grown and sensible Emperor Song in the future?
But if he doesn't sign, Xinsha Kingdom will definitely not help him.

Xiaotou is in a dilemma.

Seeing him like this, Mumbai smiled secretly, and everything went as Wu Tian expected.

With a straight face, he stared at Xiao's head and said in a serious tone: "Patriarch Xiao, this envoy doesn't have so much time to spend here with you. If you are willing to sign, then sign quickly. If not, this envoy Let’s go back now, let’s all live in peace.”

Xiao Tou didn't expect that Mumbai would be so aggressive. He would never sign this treaty. If he signed it, he would have no face to see the new Song Emperor and other patriarchs who followed him to contribute to the country.

"Brother Mumbai, to be honest, these conditions are really harsh. Is there no room for negotiation?"

Xiao Tou said flatteringly to Mumbai.

The most important thing now is to negotiate, and if you can get a little bit of benefits, get a little bit more.

Mumbai could tell from Xiaotou's tone that he had begun to give in, and secretly laughed in his heart.

With a stern face and a somewhat angry look, he said, "Patriarch Xiao, these conditions were written down by our queen after careful consideration. To be honest, the content in the original letter of credence is more stringent than what you see now. It was me Seeing that the Xinsong Kingdom has just been established, it doesn’t have enough capacity to support so many conditions. My Queen asked for mercy before she agreed to modify it. So this is the last condition that our Xinsha Kingdom can accept, if you can’t accept it. , then I don’t think we need to talk about this matter anymore.”

With that said, Mumbai is leaving.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Tou frowned even deeper. If there is no way to talk, the New Song Kingdom will be in trouble.

If we talk about this letter of credence, all the benefits of Xinsong Kingdom are given to Xinsha Kingdom, so what else is there to talk about?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tou felt very heavy.

He originally wanted to talk about friendship with Mumbai, so as to reduce the unequal content of the negotiation in the credentials, but now it seems that all of this is impossible.

Xin Shaguo would never let go of such a good opportunity to blackmail them. For them, their interests are above all else, and he would do the same.

Xiao Tou suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Brother Mumbai, I was wrong before, I was stupid, so don't be as knowledgeable as me. The conditions in this certificate are too harsh. According to such conditions, We have no way to talk at all. Now your Xinsha Kingdom has the advantage, but when your Xinsha Kingdom is not completely independent against Liang Kingdom, we still need our Xinsong Kingdom. So there is still room for cooperation between us. So I hope you can think clearly and don't block all the roads so quickly."

As soon as these words came out, Mumbai laughed secretly, Xiaotou's mind was still spinning very quickly.

He would tell the main point of the matter in two or three strokes. If he hadn't surrendered to Wutian, he might have talked with Xiao Tou, but now that he has surrendered to Wutian, everything must be from Liang Guo's point of view.

What's more, he has a heavy responsibility this time, and he must capture Xiao Tou, so that he can go back to work.

Mumbai pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "Master Xiao, what you said is not unreasonable, but you are really embarrassing me about this matter. After all, you also know that I have no right to change the contents of the credential, or else In this way, you follow me to the Xinsha Kingdom, and we will talk to Queen Yakana face to face. This way, you can save a lot of trouble and get directly to the topic. Once we both have a good talk, we can start deploying troops and start taking action. This is more than we do not know how many times we have to spend here."

Hearing this, Xiao Tou felt that it was very reasonable.

But after thinking about it, I want to go to Xinsha to meet Yakana, not to mention the two places of the Central Plains and Liao. There are a large number of Liang troops stationed in these two places, and accidents may happen at any time.

Another point is that the foundation of the new Song Dynasty's occupation of the Goryeo region is unstable, relying on the unity of all the old nobles.

If he leaves here, one of the old nobles will lose a person who can shock all the old nobles. When he leaves, if there is nothing to say, if there is any accident, chaos in the Goryeo area, or other problems , no one can control the scene, so the new Song Kingdom that was finally established may be completely destroyed overnight.

Furthermore, Emperor Xin Song was still a child, he was simply incapable of handling state affairs, and everything in the entire Xin Song Kingdom depended on him to operate.

Mumbai saw Xiaotou frowning in thought, and further threatened: "Patriarch Xiao, if you don't go there in person, there is no way to negotiate the contents of this letter of credence. Moreover, delaying the time like this will only be a waste of money for the new Song Dynasty. It is getting worse and worse. Therefore, for the sake of the new Song Dynasty and the little Song Emperor, you should work hard and follow me to the Xinsha Kingdom."

Xiao Tou saw that Mumbai said so, and sighed slightly: "You are right, but this matter, I still need to discuss with others. You should go back to the station and rest first."
