Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 2082 The Innocent Woman 44
As a result, before Dong Hanzhang could figure out how to solve it, the court sent a decree, saying that since the foreigners want to reconcile with the Lu family, let them try it out. If the Lu family is unwilling to reconcile, the foreigners will definitely beat the Lu family. Yes, that's a good thing; if the Lu family is willing to reconcile...then the court is also willing to accept it, as long as the scope is delineated, it will be fine if the well water does not violate the river water in the future.

Dong Hanzhang's heart was really cold when he heard what the court said. He understood that the court saw that he couldn't beat the Lu family, and was going to back down and keep half of the country.

However, judging from his dealings with Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would restrain himself when he took advantage of it. After all, they backed down and didn't dare to pursue after seeing the other party's sneak attack. What happened to the result, he was even more arrogant .

This is the case for small things, but it is probably the same for big things. If the imperial court is really prepared to give in, the result will not be to keep half of the country. Otherwise, the other party will push forward, knowing that you are no longer good, and will embezzle all your territory.

So Dong Hanzhang immediately wrote a letter, explaining the situation, and urged the court not to give in to the Lu family, but to concentrate all the troops of the whole country to encircle and suppress the Lu family.

But the court did not have this confidence.

Such a lack of confidence is also normal. After all, when they entered the Central Plains as a foreign race, they defeated so many people in the previous dynasty with a small number of people. Since they can win a lot with a small number, why can't the Lu family do it now?

So when I read Dong Hanzhang's dissuading letter, I just said "I got it" and didn't say much.

When Dong Hanzhang saw the court's attitude, his heart became colder. He knew that the court was jumping into the horns and admitting death. He just wanted to reconcile with the Lu family and didn't want to fight anymore.

He couldn't figure it out, why did the imperial court want to reconcile with the Lu family, at least they have to use the whole country's manpower, material and financial resources, and fight with the Lu family again, right?It is unbelievable for him to admit defeat without playing hard now.

——He didn't know that the imperial court was afraid of foreigners like tigers. Seeing that even foreigners couldn't beat the Lu family, the court was frightened and didn't dare to continue fighting with the Lu family. They were afraid that if they continued to fight, even half of the country would be gone. At that time, we will drink the northwest wind, so I want to use the hands of foreigners to negotiate, as long as they can keep half of the country, they are willing, anyway, if they keep half of the country, they can still live a prosperous life, why not.

Although Dong Hanzhang felt that the court's idea was incredible, but since the court thought so, he couldn't object, and even made his own claim to attack Anran, so he stopped immediately.

They stopped and stopped fighting, and An Ran didn't attack them any more. She only asked them not to surround Maple Leaf Castle anymore, or if they were not sincere, she would continue to attack them.

Dong Hanzhang was naturally unwilling to retreat, but the foreigners were afraid of death, fearing that another person would die, and ordered Dong Hanzhang to retreat. If Dong Hanzhang did not retreat, he would report to the court and let his court order. Dong Hanzhang had no choice but to retreat, but felt aggrieved in his heart He was going to die, thinking that if the imperial court and foreigners hadn't acted like this, according to his method, they would use all the power of the whole country to encircle and suppress the Lu family, and they would definitely not be so aggrieved.

However, Dong Hanzhang and others withdrew their troops and stopped besieging Maple Leaf Fort. Then the news that the foreigners wanted to negotiate with Anran spread to the Anran Territory, and everyone in the Anran Territory couldn't help cheering. Everyone knows that the foreigners can be forced to this level, which shows that there is a strong foundation in the territory. The ability to protect oneself, does this make everyone unhappy?You must know that before the imperial court repeatedly sent people to encircle and suppress, especially when foreigners were invited, everyone was still very worried. Now that no matter whether it is an imperial court official or a foreigner, they have nothing to do with the base area. While everyone is relieved, they are naturally happy .

And the happiest people are Li Xiu, Li Jingming and others.

For a period of time, they have been more nervous than the people in the base area, and the reason is very simple. These people in the base area are confused. They don't know how powerful Dong Hanzhang is, let alone how powerful foreigners are who are better than Dong Hanzhang. , but they have dealt with each other. They fought with Fang Guozheng and the foreign gun team under Fang Guozheng. They knew they were good. That's why they were so nervous when they saw Dong Hanzhang and foreigners coming to fight. They were afraid that the base would be destroyed. They only live a little longer, and they will eventually die.

Looking at it now, An Ran is really like what Li Jingming said, even foreigners can handle it, so they are naturally the happiest. After all, in this way, they may be able to look forward to living a little longer.

Seeing that the enemy was really stupid enough to stop attacking, An Ran continued to develop her territory.

The imperial court seemed to intend to cede all the four provinces occupied by Li Xiu and others to him, so he kept developing the fortress, and they didn't fight, so they didn't send magistrates to these places.

Because there was no one to stop them, and An Ran had enough manpower, An Ran soon occupied the four provinces occupied by Li Xiu and others, much faster than before.

After occupying the four provinces, An Ran began to digest the four base areas.

At this time, the foreigners, who really couldn't wait, began to urge An Ran to show sincerity and sit at the negotiating table, or else they were insincere, and they would continue to fight.

Will An Ran care about them?I was not afraid of them before, but now that I have four provinces, I am even less afraid.

However, she said before that she wanted to talk, so she published an open letter in the newspaper of the base area at this time, saying that as long as foreigners agree to the following conditions, she can talk.

One is not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xia Kingdom and the Huang Dynasty; the second is not to recognize all the treaties signed by the Huang Dynasty with foreign countries; the third is that the Xia Kingdom will not allow the existence of foreign garrisons, concessions and other states within a state.

On the basis of the above, Xia Guo is willing to conduct legal bilateral trade with all countries and maintain trade balance; foreigners are allowed to apply for Xia Guo's permanent residence, and they can live, work, study, etc. in Xia Guo.

Yes, An Ran used this opportunity to fly its own banner, because the Chinese originate from the ancient Xia Kingdom, so it was called Xia Kingdom at this time.

From An Ran's point of view, this kind of condition is fair and reasonable. As for whether foreigners will feel uncomfortable after seeing it, and whether Huang Chao will be angry after seeing it, she doesn't care. Anyway, her condition is here. If you disagree, then fight until the other party agrees.

Foreigners naturally disagree with her conditions, after all, they have greatly harmed their interests; With the name of the country and so many rules mentioned, I am afraid that they still want to continue to fight with them and want to unify the whole country, but this is naturally not what the court wants to see. After all, one of the prerequisites for their willingness to reconcile is that They keep half of the country, and they don't plan to keep half of the country, so that they can no longer enjoy the glory and wealth, so they naturally have to work hard.
