Summoning of the Great General of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 36 Final Confirmation of Land Cessation and Indemnity, Final Chapter of Jinyang Negotiations
"I'll give you half an hour." Zhang Qiuyue said lightly.

"Half an hour? Is it too little?" Seleucus frowned deeply.

"Too much? That's a moment."

"Don't, don't, just half an hour, half an hour."

"Okay, adjourn." Ma Liang got up and said, "Special envoys, I, Daqin, have prepared a banquet for you. Please move to the first floor to rest."

The Seleucids got up helplessly, and walked to the first floor under the guidance of the soldiers of the Qin Army.

Hua Xia, who was looking at the table, was fine, but no one was interested.

"The people of Qin are too despicable. They sent so many people to watch over a meal." Parmenio looked around and patted the table angrily.

"Shut up!" Seleucus yelled.

"General, what do you mean? How did I, Parminio, offend you?" Parminio noticed at the negotiation table that Seleucus looked at him wrongly and spoke in a very bad manner, so he happened to ask A clear one.

"You understand it yourself!"

"What do I understand!"

"Hehe, you're still pretending. If you hadn't revealed our information to the Qin people, how could they know so clearly? Even many middle- and lower-level officers don't know about those things!"

"Seleucus, don't spout blood!"

"Hehe, you know if I'm spitting blood or not."

"What the hell do you mean!"

"That's what it means."

Seeing that the two were about to roll up their sleeves and fight, Ptolemy hurriedly stopped him: "Stop arguing, the people of Qin are upstairs, and you are still fighting among yourself! Parminio, you will investigate your matter when His Majesty returns." Clearly, the most important thing for us at the moment is how to deal with the Qin people’s lion’s mouth!”

"The first is to cede the island of Crete. If the Qin people succeed, it will be tantamount to hanging the sword of Damocles over our heads. At that time, the Qin people's army can invade the mainland whenever they want. Time! I mean, compensation is fine, but land cession is absolutely not!" Antigonus, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

In the previous life, after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, Antigonus and several other generals (including Ptolemy, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Cassander) divided up Alexander's empire.Antigonus obtained Anatolia as his initial base, and then he tried his best to participate in the successor war for the dominance of the Hellenistic world.

He successively made claims on Syria, Persia, Greece, and Macedonia, and his military prowess made him invincible in the early days of the Successor Wars.With the help of his son, another great general, Demetrius I (the conqueror of cities), Antigonus I launched an attack on the Ptolemaic domain of Egypt.In 306 BC, Demetrius defeated Ptolemy's army in Cyprus.Antigonus I received the title of King of Macedon at the same time as Demetrius.

At the Battle of Ips in 301 BC, Cassander, Lysimachus, and Seleucus fought against the armies of Antigonus and Demetrius.The allies won the final victory, and the invincible Antigonus I was killed.Antigonus' son Demetrius I kept Macedonia and some Greek city-states.

Antigonus I can be described as the greatest military strategist since the death of Alexander the Great.He was undefeated until the decisive defeat at the Battle of Ips.

"Besides, why should they wait for us to pay the compensation before releasing His Majesty? Is this doubting our integrity!" Cavalry Commander Crateres also spoke.

"That's because we're worried that we won't give money when we receive someone, alas." Seleucus ignored Parminio and listened carefully to everyone's analysis.

"In any case, His Majesty is still in their hands. This is our biggest excuse. There is nothing we can do about the Qin people." Ptolemy sighed.

"Why don't we give more money to make the Qin people give up buying Crete?" Omenes suggested.Fusu will definitely exclaim here: Fuck, isn’t this a replica of the Three Kingdoms Intervention and Return to Liao Dynasty in the previous life? Of course there is no Three Kingdoms interference here.

"Good idea!" Eregias thumped the table in agreement.

"That's fine, but I don't know if the people of Qin are willing." Parmenio no longer bothered about Seleucus' bad attitude, and began to speak.

"Crete is lonely in the sea of ​​love. If the Qin people garrison the army, we must consider our threat to privacy. When His Majesty comes back, if we counterattack the Qin people with all our strength, we will definitely not be able to defend it. Their so-called military advisers are not idiots, they will definitely Thinking of this." Seleucus said: "In this way, even if the Qin people disagree, we can agree first, and we will send troops to take back Crete immediately after His Majesty returns."

"Then what if the Qin people sent troops to attack the empire after receiving the news?" Ptolemy asked.

"Hmph, let's fight. Who are our brave Macedonian soldiers afraid of on the frontal battlefield? Egyptians, Persians, Indians, and Chinese!" Seleucus said confidently.

"Yes, the Chinese people will play tricks and tricks. They are a bunch of idiots in war. The defenders in the north are the proof. By the way, we will also get back all the indemnities this time, and then let the Qin people also cede land and pay compensation!" Pami Neo finally found out that Seleucus still had some brains, but he couldn't forgive him!he thinks.

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Ptolemy was the only one with a clear head. He learned from the Huns about the achievements of the Chinese army, especially the Qin army. Now it's just because of the country's civil strife that there is no time to take care of it.

Back to the negotiating table again,

"Dear Zhang, in principle we agree to all of your conditions, except for one, whether we can pay to buy Crete?"

"No!" Zhang Qiuyue refused.

"That's it, that's okay, no problem, we signed it, and hope that your country will abide by the treaty and release His Majesty Alexander immediately after we collect the compensation."

"Are you sure?" Zhang Qiuyue always thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and you both discussed this for a long time. Is there any difference? The contrast between the attitudes before and after is too great.Not to mention Zhang Qiuyue, even Zhang Liang, Li Ru and others found it incredible.Looking at the row of smiling faces opposite, Zhang Qiu felt more and more that there was a conspiracy behind it.

"Sure."

"it is good."

In this way, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history appeared more than 2000 years earlier. Of course, the unequal party was Macedonia.

The general content of the Treaty of Qin, Ma and Jinyang:
First, compensate the Great Qin Empire with 2 million dramaks;
Second, cede Crete to the Great Qin Empire;

Third, open up seven places in Vergina, Pella, Babylon, Athens, Sparta, Alexandria, Susa, and Persepolia as the trading ports of the Great Qin Empire (these seven places were designated by Fusu during the adjournment), The Qin Empire could set up Honglu Temple (a newly established diplomatic department in Fusu, similar to later embassies abroad) in these seven cities to manage its merchants and people. If Qin people broke the law, they would be brought to Honglu Temple for trial, and Macedonia was not allowed to interfere.
