Extortion
Chapter 979:Extortion
“My lord, there is a messenger from the Ministry outside the city to see.”When it was time to send someone to this city to discuss the matter, it was already noon two days later.At this time, Jizhou City finally returned to calm again, although the military and civilians were still excited by this victory, but it no longer affected their daily activities, the city to guard the city, the work.
For the performance of Doyan's stay outside the city, many people have raised doubts, but Lin Li did not go too far to the heart, compared to the tiles, Doyan Department does not pose a threat to the city of Jizhou, not to mention that they are also heavy damage this time.But this does not mean that he has any good feelings for these guys who want to take advantage of the fire, and when he hears this, he frowned at his brow and wanted to see him behind closed doors.
But Lu Yi opened his mouth early: "Then let them come in and talk."
The soldier who came to pass the promise did not immediately agree, although Lu Wei is now in a low position in the city, but he can really make them listen to the command or is still the general soldier of Lin.However, Lin Li listened to Lu Wei's words, and now changed his mind and nodded: "Do as Mr. Lu wants, I want to see what these Tatars can play."
After half an eye, several men from the Doyan department came to them with a few furs, and when they saw Lin Li and Lu Wei, they held up their furs and said, “I have come to congratulate you on the orders of the patriarch, this battle has really played the prestige of the Great Ming Dynasty, and I really admire it.”
Lin Li looked at the fur that was used as a gift by them, and the corners of his mouth were a pinch.This gift is also too cold, even the real women who used to run to thistle state to take out their hands are much stronger than theirs.
In fact, it is no wonder that it reached them quickly, because this time they have no intention of paying tribute to Daming, and naturally it is impossible to carry any valuable items with them.These furs were only obtained by their two days of searching for hunting.
However, Lin Li is also not good at picking their gifts in person, so he waved his hand and let people receive this gift, and then he smiled and said, "Your ministry is also too polite, in fact, this time we can defeat the tiles, and you have a credit."If you had not consumed their strength during the day, it would not have been possible to raid them at night.”
It is not a taste for a moment to say to each other.For the early unaided, they were naturally very dissatisfied in their hearts, otherwise their losses would not be so great.But at this time, they did not dare to blame each other for this, and they could only grin and perfunctory.
Then he said: "For credit, we dare not say, but our losses are not small, especially the casualties of the people, which have been rare for decades."This makes it difficult for the patriarch to explain to the people of the people.”
“Oh?”Lin Li played with a taste, but did not elaborate on the meaning, which made the other side a while surprised.I have all handed the words in front of you, you have to worry about two words as our suzerain country, and then ask what can help us, why not mean anything in this regard?How can I ask again?
Just when he was full of tangled up, Lin Li finally said: "It is so, your ministry should return to the station as soon as possible to rest and recuperate."Although the vatrovets have retreated, it is difficult to ensure that they will not return and pose a threat to you.”
Yes, this is a guest order.After hearing the meaning of this, the messenger was really in a hurry, and I did not come to ask for advice, can you really not hear what I mean?
Just when he felt a sense of despair and intended to go straight out, Lu Wei finally opened his mouth next to him: “Surely you need some compensation for this war, don’t you?”
Lin Li heard this without feeling a little surprised, how did his own adult talk so well?In fact, he had heard each other's intentions, not to fight the autumn wind?But he could no longer give these white-eyed wolves any assistance, and the other side had thought of robbing them while they were still soldiers, and now they were already looking at the reason why they were still great-mident servants.That’s why he came to be stupid, just when he didn’t understand anything.
But Lu Wei said so, things can be picked out clearly, is giving each other a chance.Sure enough, I saw the messenger quickly answer: "Mr. Lu said that my Ministry is now short of food and is very short, so I hope that the Ming Dynasty court can give us some help."Also, this time we have sent troops to help you, have there been any agreement between us before?”
Without waiting for the other party to finish talking, Lin Li has already raised his face: "Why, do you still want to threaten the court to leave the 500-mile area over to you?"Do you want us to give you tens of thousands of weapons?”
“No, not dare.But we did promise before that Daming, as a great country, would never deceive me into waiting for a small tribe?How do you convince the world?”But this is also a bit of courage and argument, even if you see that Lin Li is a little angry, he still has a clear statement.
And then, Lin Li really doesn’t know how to refute it.Lu Wei in the Doyan Department negotiations he has long been clear, although at that time also feel some inappropriate, but the situation can still accept, but now the situation is easy, and then hear these requirements will be difficult to accept.
Lu Yi saw the appearance, but smiled: "At this time and now, do you think that the face of this time is still worthy of my Jizhou to come up with so many things?"Or do you believe that your own strength can force us to hand over so much money?”
“Don’t dare.”The other party did not smile, and another line of courtesy: "We naturally dare not look at our own strength so high, but the reputation of Da Ming is far more valuable than these things."I think the light of it should be more discerning than I am.”
The threat in this statement is already quite obvious.As long as the Jizhou side reverses the handover of those benefits, the Doyan Ministry will surely promote the actions of the Great Ming Dynasty to the contrary, and the damage to the reputation of the court will be considerable.This is the other side at this time also dare to run to thistle state blackmail of the bottom, as the subject of Daming, they are too aware of the importance of the Ming Dynasty in this regard.
Although Lin Li was angry, he was also a little overwhelmed.If you are interested in refusing, you can think that this matter is still a pat on the board, that is, a wave of hesitation is difficult, because it is likely to bring trouble to Lu Wei, so that the people in the court can take this matter as an excuse to attack Lu Wei.
It was Lu Wei himself, who seemed calm at this time, and stared at each other with a smile: "You are still a little brave, and you dare to run to the city of Jizhou to threaten my great officials."
"I am merely stating the facts, but I dare not threaten a few grown-ups."The other mouth said not dared, but looking at him like that, it was clear that it was to eat these great officials in front of him.As long as the other party has flaws, he can accurately hold it and take the initiative.
Just when Lin Li intended to threaten each other with soldiers and horses in the city, Lu Wei said again: "Well, there is a gentleman's words that are difficult to chase."Since I have already accepted your rude demands before, I can only bear the consequences now.But now I can't do anything about the land, and I have to ask the court to respond to you again, and now I can only give you some food and armor.Go back and wait, and in two days we will send something to your camp."
Lin Li actually agreed to this request of the other party, and suddenly he was in a hurry, and immediately called out: "Adults..." But he just spoke, and was stopped by Lu Wei's eyes.
After seeing his cheesy in his chest and making him look at him with a little restless eyes, Lin Li suddenly calmed down.How many times, Lu Wei in the face of danger and difficulties can calmly deal with, then this small problem is naturally nothing.He was still very confident in his own adults, so he quickly endured the words of opposition.
And the messenger was surprised and proud after receiving this answer.Originally, the patriarch of Iceta only thought that he could get some food from this state as compensation, but now it seems that there are more harvests.It seems that the Ming people, especially the officials there, attach more importance to false names than they think, and may be able to gain more benefits for their own people in the future in response to this weakness.
Although he was proud and somewhat disdainful, he did not dare to have the slightest expression on his face, and also flattered: "Adults are really atmospheric, it is really Daming that such a big country should have the style."Then I will go back and tell the patriarch, and wait for the good news from you.”
"Okay, then I'll send someone to let you know."Lu Yi nodded with a smile.
Until the other party left, Lin Li was a little eager to look at Lu Wei: "Adult, this armor can not be given to people at will, if it is..."
“When have you ever seen me attach so much importance to the so-called reputation?”Lu Wei suddenly smiled and asked each other a word, which made Lin Liyi one of them, as if he understood what, and the anxious expression on his face quickly converged.And Lu Yi continued: "Now you still have to let people prepare the food handed over to the Doyan people, I am useful."
“Yes, it will be done at the end.”Lin Li's heart is bottom, and now he agrees to come down, and then quickly go out to prepare.
But he believes that Lu Wei must have other profound meanings that do not mean that subordinates can understand it, and when this matter is passed down, the city general can explode the pot.The family has just defeated the enemy tiles, how can they bow down with a small face?That's too much to say!
Many soldiers dare not object to face, but privately are constantly discussing, and with the spread of this dissatisfaction, let more people know the internal situation of Lu Wei to promote this matter, which has the eyes and ears of the East Factory...
